Matter of Establishing County Normal Training Classes Laid Before Them. The board of supervisors have been In session all tbe week, convening Monday afternoon. Up to this morn­ ing nothing definite has been done, tbe committees having as yet made no reports. Yesterday afternoon Commissioner J. C. Ketcham laid before tbe board the matter relative to the establish­ ment of county normal training classes in oonnebtion with the high school as ftrovided for by a law passed at the ast session of tbe legislature. Rev. H. H. VanAuken and Supu C. F. Field also* addressed the board on the matter. Com. Ketcham has been investigating the matter and finds out that the undertaking would involve an addi­ tional expense of $750, $500 of which the state would pay. The remaining $250 would be equally divided between the county and tbe city. Tbe establishment of a county nor­ mal would necessitate tbe addition of another teacher to the high school faculty as well as the addition of sev­ eral branches of study to the present curriculum. The law provides that there shall be two courses of study, a one year course and a two year course. The holder of a certificate for a one year course shall be allowed to teach for three years from the date of its issue in any country school in tbe county where not more than two teach­ ers are employed. One holding a cer­ tificate for the two years’ course shall be allowed to teach for five years be­ low tbe ten^h grade in any country school of the county. $1.00 A Louis Fisher of Carlton Center, who was accidently shot by his companion, Nelson Brooks, while out hunting tbe latter part of November, died yester­ day morning.

Until within a comparatively recent , period the man in charge of one of the '■ very hot ovens used in many Industrial ! operations, such, for example, as the : making of pottery or the manufacture I of various kinds of gas, could only i judge the heat of his oven by looking ’ > at It Nowadays, however, as a result I of tbe increasing demand for heat ex- i perts, pyrometry Is utught as an exact i science. . Even the most expert optical judg- •-.[ ment, as was shown in a series of exjeriments made at the Massachusetts & Institute of Technology in Boston at J, the time when heat measurement was . I first being established as an Important study for tbe schools of technology, could not tell tbe heat of an oven of over 2,500 degrees with more than "ap- ' proximate accuracy. Pyrometry, bowever, has Invented instruments that can exactly measure heat that is thousands M of degrees above and cold that falls hundreds of degrees below the zero J point One of the simpler instruments for ' determining a high temperature is the -I calorimeter. A ball of nickel or plati< num is heated In the furnace whose temperature is to be tested and drop-' ped Into water. The water will Imfkj mediately rise in temperature, and, the change having been noted by a ther- , J, mometer, the amount of heat generated » by tbe furnace itself may be readily 3 calculated. Another interesting device Is a small torpedo guaranteed to exJ plode when exposed to a certain degree. I of beat, and there are various mechan­ isms that may be connected directly with ovens. ^ 3 Modem pyrometry deals with cold as . j well as beat and has yet other instru­ ments for measuring the lowest obtain­ able temperatures. One of the most curious of these is tbe so called ther­ mophon, an electrical measuring Instru­ ment with a telephone ’ attachment Tbe device is connected with a coif ex­ posed to the temperature under questlon, so that a man In the central atatlon of a refrigerating plant can hear 3 reports from each without the neces­ sity of making a daily inspection of allthe local thermometers. Trade Method*. Facts came recently to the attention of the London Chronicle which the edi­ tor hopes do not make quite a repre­ sentative comparison between English and American trade methods. . A manufacturer in Florence who makes -boxes of a novel design and character, especially suitable for jew­ elers, submitted, post fre£, a sample box to a leading firm In the United Kingdom, accompanying the same with a letter. HIs letter, marked over with tion and notice that the box would be returned unopened. gentleman sent a letter and sample par­ cel to a leading jeweler In the United sonally. and' tbongti the American bad to pay 60 per cent duty before he could open the packet, he accepted It, with re­ sults which have proved advantageous to both parties. A simple and valuable remedy for restoring wornout horses is reported by a German naturalist, Herr Martin. He says he bought a horse which "was then almost a skeleton and so weak it could hardly walk" and began giving It coffee, sometimes in the form of in­ fusions of the roasted beans and at other times ground and mixed with honey. Soon the horse began to im­ prove, and after a few months Herr Martin bad the opportunity to sell it for $250. The German says be has brought round by the same treatment many horses which had been over­ worked or were run down, with loan of strength and appetite. In a recent lecture at Oxford Pro­ fessor Raphael Meldola described the rapid progress In the development of the glaasmaklng industry In Germany. J Since the improvement of the micro-. scope and the telescope lay with the maker of the glass, a glassmaker, a chemist and a physician united their efforts, and the result was the now world renowned Jena glass. Glam can Ij now be made with almost any optical properties that may be desired. The manufacture has been placed upon a strictly scientific footing. 0. A.

It avails nothing to build fire-proof theatre if the devices fashioned for tbe protection of life do not serve their purpose in an emergency. Steel and cement are of little value when huge quantities of flimsy scenery can become a mass of living fire in (he twinkling of an eye.

The best interests of Michigan do not depend entirely upon her fertile fields, or her commercial proeperity. They depend quite as much upon the ability and integrity of tbe men chos­ en to direct her official business affairs. It would be highly satisfactory if there, was no ©uch thing as a continually dominant party, especially in the leg­ islature, where if the political elementwere more evenly matched in strength one would prove a check upon the other.

Jan. 2, 1904. The size of tbe crowd at the white house on New Year’s day is not always, or not often, an indication of tbe popu­ larity of the president. Certain of­ ficials, indeed all, are required to at­ tend and pay Lheir respects to tbe ex­ ecutive head of the nation. Wind or rain cannot keep them away. Given a fair and springlike day, such as this New Year’s proved to be much to the dismay of the weather bureau which as usual and predicted the night be­ fore, “rain or snow,” and all the strangers in Washington who have never attended an official reception will flock.to the executive mansion by the thousand. This Is what, actually did happen, and the poor public stood for hours waiting for a chance to shake hands. Many comments were made about the excessive amount of money consumed In adding two bungalow­ like wings to the white bouse and tbe poor result as seen by tbe casual ob­ server. After all, the ceremony at the white bouse on New Year s is but per­ functory; a thing to do and get over with. But it is tbe only chance under the new arrangements the common people have of seeing the president or tbe inside of bis residence. Those who have tbe wherewithal, and are in so­ ciety in Washington, manage to have a good time, tif eating dinners, dress­ ing to kill, displaying uniforms, danc­ ing and attending teas can be called good. Those of the public who attended the reception were rushed through the rooms between a file of police, private detectives, clerks and other officers who kept saying: “Walk faster: hurry up; don’t be so slow there.” They were even hustled out of the east room and down the staircase leading to the hat and coat rooms as if they could not be trusted to remain five minutes to look about. But in these days of pros­ perity people have no right to be poor and belong to the rabble, even if they are tax-payers. Mrs. Roosevelt assisted her husband in receiving and was very richly dressed in white satin. She no longer believes a woman in society can dress on 8300 a year. The dress she wore must have cost a** much as that. The social season opens in Washing­ ton after the president gives tbe sig­ nal, and from now on there will be a round of official dinners confined to cabinet, court, army and navy circles. These are all private affairs and do not interest «be’public. The .cabinet en­ tertains tbe president and he returns the compliment. Mr. Root, secretary of war, will give his last dinner to Gov. Taft, when tbat gentleman arrives from tbe Philippines to assume the war portfolio. Tbe secretary of state has given a dinner to the ambassadors; but as his throat refus'bs to vield to-treat­ ment, he could not swallow a morsel, and Mrs. Hay presided. There is a darker side of life in Washington, as Mr. Jacob Riis, a friend of the president, has recently pointed out. If no other city has slums to equal those of tbe nation’s capital, no other can boast of a greater number of sumptious entertainments. Mrs. McLean has given a dinner dance to 100 young folks, with an extra 100 for the cotillion, in honor of a couple of ladles, her guests. The Bar­ palace of Rome was de«polled of its tapestries with which to line tbe ballroom. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh, who have recently occupied their new marble palace on Massa­ chusetts avenue, tbe most costly house In the city, have bad Miss Alice Roose­ velt as a guest of honor. Dancing be­ gan at 10 p. m. in tbe large ballroom on the top floor, supper served on small tables followed with a cotillion until tbe early hours. The favors cost a small fortune. But there are those, even in Wash­ ington, who do not forget the democratip poor. The president of tbe city railway companies, at bis own expense, entertained just before New Year’s, at the Masonic temple, a thousand little children, whose fathers are em­ ployed on the railways. He delighted them with presents of toys, fruits and candies, and gave besides a program of tricks, songs and marionettes. At tbe Mt. Vernon Place church the lad lea sent out a thousand invitations to their southern friends, and held a pure dem­ ocratic reunion of representatives of all the southern states. Booths were erected and ornamented for eace state, and a delightful evening was passed by those present. iO The farm and stock papers are all giving treatment for balking' horses, most of them recommending as a cure <*«a!n manipulations of the animal's foot. This treatment bps been prac­ ticed for a hundred years. We have tried it, having bad mugh experience with balkera. says Earth and Bench. We have known a balky horse to start Immediately after hammering on the sole of one front foot, and we have known many such treatments to fail entirely. At best we consider this treatment only a temporary expedient Here is a treatment we have often used and nevef known a failure, and if persisted in for a week or two it cures the fault permanently: Take -a small rope and firmly attach it to the,, horse’s tall. Take a turn on' the doubletree or crossbar, giving slack enough to tighten the traces. If the -horse re­ fuses to pull tighten- this rope until the draft comes on the tall. No horse ever refuses to pull by his tail. When the horse starts the tall hold may be relaxed until the-draft comes on the traces again. Many balking horses will refuse to start, and others will start off all right, but if stopped will refuse to pull. The way to treat this form of vice is to pull on the tall rope until the draft comes partially on the tail. Then he will go. The tail draft may then be gradually relaxed until all the draft rests on the traces. Persist in this treatment, and a permanent ref­ ormation is a sure result. tn desired a farm, says Breeder’s Gazette. Con­ ditions cannot, however, always be con­ trolled exactly, and many a time and oft we find, despite our best efforts, that at the beginning of winter one or two of the youngsters are behind tbe ethers of similar age*. When such Is the case, there 18 "no time to' be lost, for the earlier such damage may be repair­ ed the better it will be for all concern­ ed. Perhaps the most particular atten­ tion should be given to the weanlings. If It so happens that one of them Is quite a good deal behind his compan­ ions in the way of size and condition, though not so much so in age, he should at once be made tbe subject of a special appropriation. As it is, he is mastered by the others and fares badly at the watering trough or manger. He must content himself with the poorest of the hay or fodder, and, poor chap, he must put in a good many lively skips each day.to escape the teeth or heels of his more doughty congeners. All this should be put a stop to instanter. Give the dwarf a place to feed in by himself and give him the best ration possible; also plenty of It Let him hhve the choicest of the hay, a small pick at a time and many times a day. Ground oats with a little bran and oil meal and some treacle and cut hay will be found the best food for him. It will be found much easier to start him along now than at any time later. The main point is to see that the weanling gets nutritious food, enough of it and the chance to eat it and di­ gest it in peace and quiet If all lamb raisers shipped their own lambs and came to market with them they would learn to castrate every ram lamb at an early day, says American Stockman and Farmer. A good many ram lambs are now coming to market, and buyers are discriminating against lots containing them or throwing them out to be sold separately. Country buy­ ers should make their discriminations accordingly and take ram lambs at a lower price Instead of trying to buy tbe whole bunch at a figure where the rams won’t count In this way the lamb raiser will learn his lesson and all concerned in the deal be better off. The illustration shows Harry Gray, the first prize combined horse at tbe San Antonio (Tex.) fair. Too many people who allow the suck­ ing colt to follow the mare do not re­ member that a young colt is not strong enough to follow either in a long drive or at work all day. If they stopped to think bow young the colt Is and how little muscle he has they would shut him up in some cool, comfortable place while the dam is in use. The rule Is that a young colt should be where be can Ho down and rest twothirds of the time. At first, until he gets a little used to the separation, great care should be taken to shut up the colt where he cannot possibly Injure himself. Don’t put him in a pasture where be can rush against a barbed wire nor tn a stable with a large win­ dow where he can jump out and break his leg. A plain box stall without undulations in the floor, without manger or ties of any kind. Is best No other young ani­ mal is more likely to get into trouble, and no other Is so easily damaged.— Farm, Field and Fireside. ■ Some of tbe best horses over brought to America were bred by tbe farmers of England, France and Belgium. These men got a good mare or two, used them to work their farms, bred them to tbe best sires they could find, pro­ ducing stallions that had admirable conformation and disposition for draft horse sires. Some of tbe best trotters ever bred were produced by farmers -who owned well bred road mares and mated them to good stallions. Who will say that these men, who use tbe dams for tbe purpose for which their produce is intended, cannot produce horses that are equal to those of tbe great breeding establishments? asks Stockman and Farmer. They can and often do. There Is io patent on horse breeding, no advantage in favor of the millionaire who keeps bis brood marefl in idleness over the farmer who works or drives bls. It will pay any man who has a good mare to give her a chance to do her best, and that means to mate her properly and take care of ber progeny. While it is undoubtedly true'tbat oats are the standard grain food for horses and will probably continue to be so through all time, yet there is a wide place for the feeding of barley, not only to colts while growing, but also to horses at wor);, and for fattening old horses It would probably be correct to say that there is nothing like it In feeding barley it is not customary to feed it right along, the same as oats, although to young colts that are grow­ ing it may sometimes be fed once a day to advantage, suggests the Farmer. To horses at work It is usual to feed it two or three times a week, but when the object in feeding is to fatten old horses and put them In condition for selling then It would be well to feed barley to them every day. Tbe favor­ ite old time method of preparing barley for such feeding is to steam It This is considered preferable to boiling. It is thought to be a matter of some Wonderful Nerve. importance to know just bow far tlH* Is displayed by many a man enduring steaming process should be carried.

Mammoth sheds will be erected, and they will serve as shelter for 40,000 sheep. These sheds will be 75 by 100 feet and will require 360,000 feet of lumber in erection. The ranch when completed will entail a cost of §60,000, including the cost of the farm.

Few features of the strange lands of central Asia are stranger or more cele­ brated than the great Amu Darla, the ancient Oxus, which has been attempt­ ing once more to change its bed. For more than two and a half centuries this river has flowed Into the Aral sea, but for 400 years before that accord­ ing to ancient records, its destination was the Caspian, while it has changed Its whole course in the same way yet once again within the period of which there are records remaining in tbe later classical authors. At the beginning of last month for the first time in several generations the Amu Daria began to break new ground again. Swollen by unusual floods, it began to drive a channel in the direction of a prosper­ ous town which has sprung up of re­ cent years in the neighborhood of a great bridge on tbe Transcaspian rail­ way line. A thousand men have been engaged day and night for weeks past constructing dams to protect this town and keep back the river In its old bed, . and the cost of the work has already amounted to many thousands of dol­ lars.

Tbe wis­ dom which often comes of years and experience is always potent, and for thirty years tbe men whose word was law in the Seo ate were mostly gradu bus of the Federal aod Confederate armies during the Civil War. They wore scare and ortftches. But the men who draw great audiences galleries when it is announced that they will speak are bow men who Were very young babes In arms during that period, fellows In 'the roaring forties:’ on the Republican side Dolliver, (45) and Beveridge (41); on the Democratic side, Carmack (46)-aod Bailey (40). Nothing finer or more spirited can be heard in Congress than a discussion in which these are pitted against each other. An apparent exception of young and vigorous minds in aged ten­ ements are Hoar and Morgan, who, though old enough to be grandfathers of those just mentioned, are ready to meet all comers at any moment. They are knocking at the door again—Arizona, New Mexico and Ok­ lahoma— and tbe tatoo is likely to be­ come very loud during tbe present session. The last named has shown such amazingly quick development that she is Hable to creep in if tbe Congressional latch-string is left out at all. By the way, what a shockingly clumsy and meaningless name New Mexico is! Is it not high time that American states and cities should be christened without being named after other countries, as it they were only weak imitations? To call the new state Franklin, or even Albuquerque —awkward as this name is—would be vastly better. New Mexico, forsooth! iCofombla'has applied to the French government and courts for an injunc­ tion to prevent the transfer to the United States of the canal properties and franchises now owned by French citizens under concession, from the Colombian government. Tbe news made an’obvious sensation yesterday around the Capitol. The French Ambassador to this country has tendered to our govern­ ment, from the ladies of France, a replica of the bust of Washington which was formerly destroyed by fire in the Capitol. It was by the famous David. 11 The Senate yesterday began a dis­ cussion of the resolution for a congres­ sional investigation of post-office frauds Republicans oppose It on the grounds that the Post Office Department can find out and punish Its own frauds. Democrats advocate it on tbe ground that a committee wholly Republican cannot be trusted to expose Repub­ lican frauds, that congressional investigagoos are popular and thorough I and that such an investigation would show what remedial legislation is re­ quired to prevent the recurrence of such plundering. U. 8. Senator Dietrich (Republican) of Nebraska, on trial in Omaha for bribery., in a postoffice appointment, makes defense that be had not taken the oath of office as Senator at the time. Ex-congressman E. H. Driggs of New York, was convicted by a jury on Friday of accepting $12,500 to pro­ cure a contract between the automatic cash-register company and the Post Office Department whereby a large number or machines not needed were bought. The defense was that he did­ n’t mean to, and Judge Thomas said he would “make the sentence as light aspoflsible." The President’s appointment of Jas. Tanner; the famous “Corporal” to be Register of Wills here will stand in spite of the remonstrance of the office­ holders’ newspaper and half a dozen wealthy bankers. It is understood that Dent (superceded) claims to be in some way related or connected with the family of Mrs. Grant. Tanner is one of tbe liveliest and most aggressive of Republican orators and he stumps it in a double or triple sense, hiving lost both legs at the ankle while lying on his face and holding his heels too high at the second battle of Bull Run.

Loafing is an art which but few living creatures understand. Lizards, crocodiles and chaprassfs are the greatest authorities on the subject. Animate have acquired tbe knack of making much ado about nothing; they have learned to be very busy without doing anything. This ac­ complishment obviously differs from that of loafing. It Is one which ani­ mals have brought to perfection and of which many human beings, chiefly women, are very able exponents. There Is overhead a wasp busily exploring tbe boles in the trunk of a tree. Why • he dore this be probably does not know; he has no time -to stop and think. He is quite content to explore away as though his life depended upon it. Five times within tbe last -six mluutea he has minutely inspected every portion, of the same boto All his labor te use­ less. in a sense; without it, however, the wasp would to all probability* die of ennui. The wasp is not an Isolated case. Most animals are experts at frit­ tering away time; they spend much of their lives in actively doing nothing. Watch a canary in a cage. He bops backward and forward between two perches ns though be was paid by the distance for doing so. Look at a butter­ fly. It leads an aimless existence. Nev­ ertheless It is always busy.

METHODS «V WHICH THE THEIR IMMENSE PRO! A vtaft to ope of tbe largest pie cooItrncttag plants to a efty would maka the average housewife who prides berself to ber baking green wdtb wrj. Tbe maker of old fashioned domestic pies cannot easily conceive of a system by which a barrel of apptes and a bar­ rel of flour cank figuratively speaking; start at one «n4 of a toag bench and leave tbe other end a tiwutsapd or less finished pies, but this system is in use In all tbe large pie bakerite. The,baking force goes pn duty at 10 have been paring and slldng apples and pumpkins, and tbe foreman baa been spicing and sweetening the cook­ ed fruit or mince, t!»e custards and other prepared filling which have also been cooked by steam in targe stone stow yata. When the bakers go on duty the flllltag is in place in front of tbe great dough board to tubs bolding a half barrel each, and the stewed appies in full sized barrels. At one end of tbe bench is a great stack of flour, near which stands a pail of water into which a saucer of baking powder has 'been dumped. The dough mixer at-, tacks this heap and makes in it a deep depression, into which the water is poured. The embankment of flour to rapidly turned into the water and stirred with tbe bands until a thick, pasty dough has been formed. This is shoved along until a tall heap is form­ ed at the mixer’s right, and .the knead­ er, a spry young fellow,, working with an Instrument resembling a plasterer’s trowel, cuts off large masses and rolls them until tbe mixing is completed and then chops them into chunks of suitable sizes for forming bottom crusts. The men beyond'roll the bottom crusts and place them in tbe pans, which are arranged in large wooden trays, heap­ ed one upon another in stacks as tall, as a man. Tbe stacks of trays are then hauled to the filler by mpans of a hook Inserted in a ring in tbe truck at tbe bottom. Tbe pies, whetherdr 15,000 a night are baked, are all filled by one man., With a long handled cup similar ' to thht used in dipping-niHk from So can he stands over a tub of stewed pumpkin, mince or custard and fill* pies so rapidly that all of one man’s time Is required to-bring.lhe. trays to his s|de and thgt qf another to take them -away. He works like an autom­ aton, a filled pie resulting from jevery drop and rise of bls two bands. Nearly a hundred pies a minute look like an Impossibility, but he sends them to the men who put on tbe top crusts and themeringues at that rate for many min­ utes at a stretch. He has, by actual test, put half a barrel of mince meat Into pies within ten minutes. . The filled pies go into the big. wooden trays to the men who cover them with . tbe top crust or who put the meringue on with a conical shaped canvas bag 1 open at the smaller end, out of which they squeeze tbe frosting on the fancy pies. The fancy pies and the plain ones do not come together again until they meet In tbe delivery wagon about 5 o’ctock in the morning.

The reasoning on which the court based Its action was this: The time when the alleged bribe was offered and accepted was after the senator was elected but before he took the oath of office. Therefore he was not yet a senator and could not violate the law which forbids a United States senator from accepting bribes. The reasoning which led to this sum­ mary disposition of the case may be good from a legal standpoint, but If Senator Dietrich cares very much for hto reputation as an honest man be will be far from satisfied with such a vindi­ cation. There was no testimony taken either to prove or disapprove the charge, He may have sold to the higheat bidder all the offices at the disposal of a Nebraskan senator, so far as the court knew. That was an immaterial pbinU He was not yet a senator and therefore he was not guilty. He did not yet have any offices at his disposal and therefore be could not sell them. He may have promised to let a certain man have a certain poatoffioe and ac­ cepted a money consideration for his promise, but, luckily, this happened before he became a senator de facto The guilt or innocence, according to the wonderful logic of«tbe law, depends upon the time in which (the bribe was taken and not upon the fact itself. Perhaps the senator will be willing to stand behind this technical acquittal. If he does the implication will neces­ sarily follow that the charge against his integrity to really true though technically .untrue, and such an impli­ cation will'certainly be Intolerable to at. Innocent man. And so this peculiar acquittal can hardly be regarded as a piece of profound wisdom, when looked at from a con-professional standpoint.

The favorite ages within these Umlts are eighteen and twenty. There are 24,­ 000 more misses of eighteen than thereare bo^s of that age. and the young ladies twenty years old exceed their masculine companions by 54.000. At twenty-four and twenty-five the numlera of the two sexes are nearly equal. Then the women begin to grow leas with great rapidity. The most unpop­ ular ages are thirty and forty. At the former age there Is a difference of 78.­ 000 between the two sexes; at the latter 83,000. One peculiar circumstance is that there are more women twenty years old than there are girls of thirteen or fourteen or any age up to twenty. This fact conclusively demonstrate* that twenty Is a very healthful age. But If the younger ages are unhealthy, where did the Increased number who . are twenty years old come from? No women are born that old. Only an unusually elastic theory can account fbr these peculiarities with bocoming gallantry to the lovelier sex.— J. 8. GUham in Ladies' Home Journal. YANKEE DOODLE.

Stauffer LINEN SALE FOR TEN DAYS BEGINNING JAN. 23 per The city council and especially Street Commisstpner Hicks, bare deceived much praise for the excellent condi­ tion in which Cemetery road has been put. What used to be one of the worst ball miles of road running into the city has been put almost on a true grade and gravelled at a cost of only about 9650. A litte more work would make a grade for a sidewalx, which would be a,nice improvement, and we believe that citizens would favor on ex­ penditure of money for that purpose and also to assist in building the walks. Allen Burbank, who has been workingat Hastings for some time, has quit his job there and entered the employ of bis father, F. M. Burbank, in bis law office. Allen will be given charge of tbe,insurance, collections and corres­ pondence, and tn tbe meantime will begin tbe study of law.

Lake Odessa Wave. Sunday night Mrs. A. B. Hum re­ ceived word that her daughter, Mrs. Noah White of Cadillac, had died that evening very suddenly, having been Bick only an hour and a half. Tbe -funeral was held Tuesday, the remains being taken to Traverse City, her former home, for burial. Mrs. Hum has been sick and was unable to attend. Mr. and Mrs. White were here last fall for several months and intended to reside in Hastings but being unable to secure a bouse, they were obliged to 'go elsewhere. During her stay here Mrs. White made many friends who will be sorry to hear of her death. The case of Copeland vs. Sheriff Hal­ laday was.withdrawn last Saturday and another, asking for tbe same amount, 910,000, begun against the sheriff and his deputy, Mr. Sloan. The latter is begun by declaration containing four counts, the first three charging a fail­ ure to protect and the fourth a collus­ ion with the mob and even more, that tbe officers were principals in tbe out­ break and themselves committed or helped to commit the acts complained of. The declaration was filed Saturday before the sheriff’s return from the east where he was called by tbe illness of a brother. On Monday tbe Grand Ledge officers were in the'eity and after con­ siderable mixup in getting the wrong men finally arrested John McFarland of Hastings, Curtis C. Pratt, an em­ ployee of O. E. Packard, and Geo. Hoff­ man Sr. These are charged -with in­ citing a riot and assault and battery. It would look as though the oonnty is to be punished whether the genera! case i« made out or not for tbe com­ plaints are sworn out at Grand Lodge and two trips made by the officers at an expense in each case of 9J0.71 when the regular fees if begun at the county seat would be only 91.42.

Tredertck London, Jan. 18.—The surrender of Russia to Japan because of the an­ nounced determination of Great Brit­ ain to adhere to the uttermost to the terms of the Anglo-Japanese treaty is reported by the Russian correspon­ dent of the Times. Opening to general commerce of all the important ports in Minchooria, the complete withdrawal of Russion pre­ tensions to Corea, and the possible abandonment of Port Arthur as a mil­ itary stronghold, are the most impor­ tant points in the terms of surrender as reported to the Times. The determination of the Csar thus to sue for peace at the cost of a crush­ ing blow to Russian prestige is attrib­ uted to the bold pronouncement by Premier Balfour in discussing the An­ glo-Japanese treaty in a speech at Manchester last Monc iy night • Britain to tot fullest extant,” j Premier at i t time, “will it all the obl'fatlons imposed la Construed M Thrs.L Iti’MsaMg editorial th* follow­ Ing morning the Daily News inter­ preted this declaration as "a plain and unnecessary throat to Russia.” That is was a warning to toe gov­ ernment at BL Petersburg-was ques­ tioned by none.

There are hundreds of large plantations to toe state ujon which thousands of negroes are employed. The agreed remuneration usually averages 50 to 75 cents a day. Parties who claim to know allege that upon many of these plantations, particu­ larly in districts remote from traveled roads, negroes have been held practi­ cally In bondage, some of them being the descendants of men and' women whb were staves on toe same planta­ tions.

Dr. THOMAS R. SUCER ef New York ANY persona labor under the delusion that the man­ eyed classes who, after acquiring fabulous wealth BY MEANS THAT ARE NOT HONEST, be­ queath enormous sums to benevolent institutions axe doing good. It ia all very well to have hoepitala. institutions of learning and libraries, but when one considers that the moneys expended for these purposes are the RE­ SULTS OF PLUNDER it is sufficient to make one shrink front the thought ■ I say candidly that it would be far bettor to have institution* stand as they are than accept ill gotten gains. A millionaire who, after spending his life in acquiring and boarding wealth, suddenly comes to realize that he has done no good in the world for the wel­ fare of his fellow man and endows a benevolent institution IS NOT DOING GOOD. He thinks he ia £nd firmly believes that his one charitable act makes reparation for his sins of the past During the coal strike last winter the price of oil was raised to 17 cents by the Standard Oil trust This was done at a time when THE POOR WERE IN MOST NEED of this necessary com­ modity, when Buffering and privation were on every hand. BUT STILL CHICAGO UNIVERSITY COULD RECEIVE A HANDSOME ENDOWMENT BY ONE WHO WAS RE­ SPONSIBLE FOR THE UNTOLD SUFFERING OF THEPOOR THROUGHOUT THE EASTERN STATES. Then there is a class of people who try to DO GOOD FROM FEAR. They ere instilled with a terrible dread of the oonsequences of the hereafter and do their level best to do good. But I will state candidly that there is nothing to fear. God is too merci­ ful, kind, just and good to fear, but still man will go on day by day living in mortal dread. HE ISN’T GOOD BECAUSE HK WANTS TO BE, but merely to escape the punishment that he ia told will be meted out to him. But I tell yon right here that if the" fires of bell haven’t been extinguished they have been banked, and, the devil is dead. It is not hard to do good, but very few persons are STRIVING HART) to uplift their fellow man Even ministers find it hard at times to do good, but I doubt if any of them have gone to helL while trying to pursue their ministerial duties as best they could.

C- Jan. 23,1904. Tbe adminlAtration is in a heap of trouble about a terrible Panama scan­ dal reported from Pari*, and involving Bunau-Varilla, the garrulous minister from Panama. It is to tbe effect that this man swindled tbe French Panama canal company by means of false re­ ports of excavations made by which he received some half a million dollars in a corrupt ‘Take-off. ” The president Is greatly worried and the Panama patri­ ot has been called to hurried consulta­ tions. . 4 For democratic candidate, the names oftenest heard are Gorman, Parker, Hearst, and Olney, in their order; but there is a strong undertow for Lieuten­ ant General Mile*. Is he Bryan’s “dark house”? He is entirely accept­ able to all wings of the party and a warm friend of both Cleveland and Bryan. Bis adoption by the Iroquois Club of Chicago gave a new Impetus to the movement today, and Miles’s name is likely to be spoken in any conversa­ tion on the coming selection. While not a ward heeler or a spell-binder in any sense, his friends bold that no can­ didate possesses more attractive quali­ ties or more qualities calculated to winIs not Root’s fulsome eulogy of General Young, recently retired, in sharp con­ trast to the curt and insolent drder re­ tiring General Mlles a few month* ago? Tbe bill in congress to admit New. Mexico and Arizona as one state causes considerably adverse comment in con­ gress. Attention is called to the fact that it would take a railroad train as long to go through that state from east to west as. to go from St. Louis to Boston! There are ooly about a duarter as many people in Arizona as there are in the ally of Washington. If not a scandal, the condition of tbe Red Cross Society coipes perilously near it.' For more than a generation Miss Clara Barton and ber official asso­ ciates have been disbursing its funds without making any proper account to the public that furnished the money. Your correspondent warned Miss Bar­ ton ten years ago*that trouble would grow out of this negligence, but she and the doctor, her secretary, preferred to wait for it. Now congress is over­ hauling the whole outfit. “Pious” originally meant affection­ ate. Aeneas was called pious because he buried bis father, and Antigone was called pious because she buried her brother. Congressmen seem to have a similar ambition. They buried one of their number last week with uhe usual extravagance; a committee of twelve or fifteen, a chartered Pullman to Illi­ nois, and back, a load of grief stricken junketers, and all they can eat and all they drink st the expense of tbe government. These funerals cost from •5,000 to 925,000 Lach and sometimes deSsnerate into a mild form of spree. flea, indeed, the official mourners drink altogether too much and there have been instances when they were disabled from performing their duty. Both parties are equally guilty of this abominable offense and it is high time it wm reformed in the interest of or­ dinary decency. Who says the president is arbitrary and despotic io bls methods? Be said yesterday “Senator Hanna has a per­ fect right to become a candidate for C»ident.” This shows plainly that is not an autocrat and that "imperi­ alism” is a myth. His humility is touching. He has not issued any de­ cree that tbe American people shall not take part in the elections, or that the nominating convention shall not have at least some degree of freedom in selecting a candidate.

A subscriber wislgng to hear & particular concert slmply'would have to cal! up the central office and ask for that connection. London newspa­ pers have been tbe first however, to make ’ commercial application of the flevice. A party of journalists was invited by the Electrophone company to listen at its office? in London to Mr. Balfour’s speech at Sheffield, 220 miles away. They were ushered into the reception room, and each man was seated before % double telephone receiver. Just be­ fore the beginning of the address these were adjusted over the ears; and every word of the speech was distinctly beard from beginning to end. The sharpness of enunciation and tbe shad­ ings of tone were accurately repro­ duced. The electrophohe is a modified form of telephone. Tbe transmitters, which correspond to the, mouthpiece of the ordinary telephone, are very large, powerful and sensitive. In transmit­ ting Mr. Balfour’s speech six of these, mounted on a heavy cast iron base, which rested on felt mats, were placed on a table at the front of tbe platform. Only two were used, the other four be­ ing held In reserve in case of accident The success of the Sheffield experi­ ment Induced tbe company to fit up ■ similar line between Glasgow and Greenock for reporting Mr. Chamber UdnTs speech at tfie latter place. Four reporters at the office of the Glasgow Evening Citizen “took the speech,” and goi the greater part of it without any trouble. Several times Mr. Chamber­ lain stepped out in front of the table on which the transmitter stood, and this led to considerable blurring. Two extra transmitters which had been placed at the edge of tbe platform were unconsciously muffled by hats being placed over them, but even un­ der these adverse conditions a very good result was obtained. A. subsequent speech of Mr. Cham­ berlain’s at Birmingham was reported by electrophone for the London Daily MsU. and the paper containing tbe speech verbatim was selling on the streets less than half an hour after its delivery. von told me, and I think it was just splendid-of you.” Crane flushed hotly, but be took it.

From the days of Saul and David music has no doubt been the means or alleviating. If not of actually curing, many serious cases of mental disease. Modern experience has proved this con­ clusively, and many instances may be quoted from ancient history. Pythagoras commended music In the treatment of the Insane, and Thales, when a pestilence ravaged Sparta, found in music his most powerful means of combating it Heaocrates soothed maniacs by It and Theophras­ tus held that even the bites of venom­ ous reptiles were rendered less fatal by subjecting the victims to the Influ­ ence of melody. When Philip of Spain was in a mor­ bid and desponding condition, Farinelli, tiie vocalist, was sent for by the queen, with a party of musicians, to sing and play in the adjoining room. The ef­ fect was a speedy and rapid cure. Both Buckman and Hafeland relate instances in which music has cured cases of 8t. Vitus’ dance, and Becker and Schneider demonstrated practical­ ly its influence in different cases of hysteria. The Cohseleatleaa Citise*.

Filling tbe pores with sugar has somewhat surprising effects upon wood. The process as devised by W. Powell of Liverpool consists in Im­ mersing tbe wood in heated sugar so­ lution for some hours, the time vary­ ing with the wood, and then7 driving off all moisture in an oven. No previ­ ous seasoning Is necessary. The spongy fiber is converted into a compact ligne­ ous substance, and it acquires greatly Increased durability and strength, with resistance to changes of temperature and moisture and even to fire. A spe­ cial advantage is that the softer and cheaper and even defective woods can be made to serve many purposes In place of expensive bard wood* . A Daria* 5ur*ical Operattoa.

If you have never acquired tbe pol­ ishing habit yon cannot thoroughly un­ derstand the joy of a "shining home.” If every piece of furniture In your possession was touched up once a month with a reliable polish shabbiness would be bar Isbed forever. Dingy wall paper and faded, worn rugs are not such eyesores as battered tables and chairs, tor the former can be cov­ ered somewhat with pictures and the latter often gain beauty with age. Fabulous prices are paid for ragged floor coverings with histories which must be known to be appreciated. But dirty, scratched furniture will spoil the effect of any room. Furniture pol­ ish la cheap and easy to apply, and by taking one room a day the work of renovating may be made easy. । MIBS GKBTHUDK SEEKS. ant secretary of the local organization. Mere labor for tbe sake of an income never attracted me. The difficulties which I met in trying to succeed made me sympathize with those similarly placed, and whenever I could I always have helped others to help themselves. It was my knowledge of the discom­ forts of the average woman's business life that prompted me to organize a business woman’s club. The great need of a place where one could be properly served at luncheon and a comfortable chair or book to refresh oneself In the middle of |be day is a necessity to a working woman’s welfare, whether she work in her own or some one else’s office. "Not long after I had been made ose of tbe officers of the Civic federation 1 found an opportunity to exercise my ambition. Tbe McCormick Harvester company bad built a new twine factory and had decided to admit woman em­ ployees. I obtained permission from Mr. Cyrus McCormick to organize a de­ partment where women con id have a few comforts and conveniences, a place to rest at tbe noontime, all of which reacts to the employer’s Interest ns well aa to the employee's welfare. "It-Was successful. There was noth­ ing elaborate—just what any humane employer would be glad to allow. The success which attended the innovation nt the McCormick works resulted In my being placed in charge of the industrial f betterment work of the Rational Civic federation, with headquarters nt New York.” When asked if she preferred a busi­ ness life to a domestic life Miss Becks replied, “I do not think a woman’s best work lies outside of the home, but I »im glad to live In an era and In a coun­ try where a woman can work outside a home and be respected.’’—Chicago Tribune. 8ome people say that domestic work spoils beauty, and many women who really would enjoy active occupation in their own homes are hindered by tbe fear of spoiling their comeliness. Let them be reassured. Housework Id moderation is one of the best ways of cultivating beauty. Bedmaking la a magnificent exercise for the figure. Shoulders, body and limbs are all brought Into play and developed by mattress turning and pillow shaking. Tbe folding of sheets and blankets and tbe spreading of them on the bed all give the arms just the right exercise to develop the muscles In tbe soft roundness and pretty curves which are the chief beauty of a woman’s arm. Tennis and other athletic games are. not nearly ao good, and. indeed, there are athletic girls (happily only a few) whose arms, though wiflte and smooth, are quite hideous from being develop­ ed on manly instead of on feminine lines. Perhaps you have never realis­ ed how unlike are men's and women’s arms. If not just compare them, and you will see how ugly the manly arm looks when tbe girlish owner of It la In evening dress and It la fully exposed to view. For arms, fingers and wrists the washing and wiping of teacups and saucers are admirable exercise. Tbe water should be fairly hot. and soda, which is Injurious to the skin, need not be used. Tbe water, combined with the exercise, is especially valuable In giving suppleness to tbe joints of the fingers. “Few women who think they ore up In everything that 1* attractive know bow to handle a cup gracefully,** For pity’a sake when you buy the material for your dressing gown keep your good sense with you and refuse to consider dingy colors in the hope that they will prove more serviceable.

' The Greediness of Protection. If there is anything in this world More selfish and greedy than another * ft to organized protection. The Aroerfcan Protection Tariff league has rwssntly declared itself opposed to reci­ procity In any form whatever, espec­ ially to Canadian reciprocity. The very basis of all commerce is mutual -benefit, bat the protective tariff league wants the whole thing. By its very greed i new and selfishness it would de­ stroy all foreign commerce, except in •those fom thing*1 that cannot be prodneed io this country at all. It would seethe great empire north of us di­ vert its valuable trade away from us to Great Britain, and not only do nutbing to prevent such a calamity but actually snenc rage such diversion. And all because free trade between tbe United States and Canada might cut down the big profits which a. few ben­ eficiaries of tbe presect tariff are en­ joying at the expense of all the rest ol their fellow citizens. The national board of trade, on the ■other band, has declared itself in fa­ vor of reciprocity, and as this board itnon-partisan in character its utterance upon this subject ought to be entirely free from political bias. What Shall tbe Issue Be? The question of tbe Issues upon which ♦he democratic party will fight the 't»Ule of 1904 is beginning to demand good deal of attention from tbe part} leaders. And tbe question is one of importance For If any sort of an at­ tempt is to be seriously made to over throw the republican party, there must be formulated a platform on which all democrats can stand to­ gether in harmony. Such a platform, upon the well recognized prin ciples of the party, Goes not need to ro-affirm the platforms of the past, but rather to outline the policy which al) democrats believe ought to be pur­ sued in dealing with the problems now before tbe country. * No party that hopes to accomplish anything can afford to hamper its ac lion by re-affirming past platforms, and it is unfortunate that Mr. Bryan persists In dragging tbe Kansas City declaration into tbe arena of tbe new -struggle. By so doing he can only succeed in offending a considerable -wing of the party that cannot subscribe to some of tbe planks in that platform which embody propositions which are not and cannot be at issue in 1904. No good can possibly come from such a eoursa. Tbe old party Las plenty ol live issues before it, on which it can make a united and effective campaign. Among the issues that will appeal to all democrats are tariff-reform and its kindred propositions of anti-trust leg­ islation and opposition to the ship sub­ sidy scheme, purification of the pub­ lic service, economy in running tbe .government, popular election of Unit­ al States senators, ultimate indepen­ dence for the Philippines and condem­ nation of the un-American policy of Imperialism. The Merit System Should be Sustained. The annual report of Lhe civil ser­ vice commission contains one statement which goes far towards justifying the existence of that body. Referring to lhe scandals in the post office depart­ ment tbe report says that not one of ♦be officials under Indictment obtained bis position through a competitive ex­ amination. All tbe men who have been dishonest owed their position to the pernicious spoils system. Of coarse such evidence as this is not conclusive, but it certainly shows that men who bold positions under tbe government as the result of merit, shown in open competition, are inclined to be bocest and trustworthy, while ♦hose who owe their appointment to po­ litical “pall” are more apt to be fotlnd lacking in integrity. • And yet notwithstanding the show­ ing made by tbe merit system there is al deliberate effort made in congress every winter to abolish tbe service and return to tbe old spoils system in all its bold and impudent spirit of plunder. Bat a few days ago, under tbe lead of Congressman Hepburn, the house in committee of the whole struck out the appropriation for tbe expenses of tbe commission. However, when final ac­ tion was taken and the yeas and nays were recorded, there were not members enough who dared goon record against tbe dvll service system worry out toe will of the house as expressed in com­ mittee of the whole, and so tbe item was restored to the appropriation bill. The incident shows, however, that if congress dared destroy the merit rjstem it wcmH do so.

Steady Jobe Art Feedinc the Stock end Keeping Warm. The great steady winter jobs on an American farm in the north nowadays are feeding tbe stock and keeping warm. And keeping warm nowadays means hauling coal. When I lived in the country. It meant cutting wood. It meant for our large family constant teaming day after day. from tbe woods to tbe w&xi yard and a wood pile that must have covered a quarter of an acre. It meant toward spring the com­ ing of men with a horse power and buzz saw to cut firewood, and that waa almost as interesting an operation as thrashing. There were other stirring days when the lake bad frozen bard and tbe Ice­ house was filled, involving Ice cutting and more teaming and more precarious hitching on behind loads and going back In empties. And early in the win­ ter there waa the momentous and gory killing of pigs. Ob. that was Indeed a stirring time! They kill a pig every second, no doubt. In Chicago now­ adays. but that Is mere mechanical routine, with no quality of sport in It. There was nothing so very slow about the country winter in days as late as the civil war. I suppose soap­ making as a domestic Industry la as dead as household spinning. In those times of wood fires and wood ashes all self respecting families made soap. Our family had an outstanding kitch­ en expressly for that use. wltji a big cistern-like hogshead behind It in which ashes were leached and convenient tubs for bolding the soft soap. A very handsome substance Is soft soap if the proper consistency and complexion, and a pleasing exercise it used to be for the young to stir it with n stick and watch Its undulations. All tbe super­ fluous fat of meat from our kitebea was turned Into soft soap in those near­ by old times.—Harper's Magazine. The B«l<er'» Diffffiaff Ability. The sportsman naturalist.

"Next morning.’* said St John, “he wm gone, having displaced a stone that I thought him quite Incapable of moving, and then, digging under tbe wall, he got away.”________________ Energy will do anything that can be done in this world, and do talents, ne clren distances, no opportunities, win make a man without It.—Goethe.

Washington, Jan. 25.—Tariff re­ formers In congres. are disconcerted over the legislative plans of the lead­ ers.

While these Republican members are'Mt opposed to a service pension bill and the Panama canal project, they are beginning to realize the ap­ propriations carried by the first meas­ ure, which will amount to $30,000,000 annually, and the enormous outlay involved in the completion of the isthmian water way, taken in addi­ tion to the regular appropriations, will bring the total expenditures to unusual proportions.

EQUALITY among MEN DOES NOT EXIST By WHITELAW MUD , ’ GRAVE change, amounting to a distinct degenera­ tion, in the average American character ia the ex­ travagant notion, NEVER HELD IN, THE. DAYS OF OUR FATHERS, that this is a land of equal­ ity and that one man is aa good as another. It has never been a land of equality, and ONE MAN NEVER HAS BEEN AS QOOD AS ANOTHER and never will be in this country or any other, in this life or, any other, till the just God turns unjust and the creature that does ill becomes in his eyes as the creature that does well. The laggard declares he is just as good as the man that has out­ stripped him and that he is the victim of a monstrous injustice in being left behind. THE SPENDTH RI FT FINDS IT INIQUI­ TOUS, since one man is as good as another, that he should be poor tnd needy, while the frugal and careful neighbor that started on sn equal level with him is free from want ’ .

Normally a woman should have no dis­ comfort so for as feelings of distress are concerned, at each recurring period. But modern civilization has added its condi­ tions of ever-present suffering to a large proportion of American women. The ma­ jority of such casps are due to local inflam­ matory or congested conditions which can be overcome by the right treatment Of course, this local irritation is followed by headaches, backaches, nervousness, irrita­ bility, and, indeed, often results in nervous prostration or collapse which might have been avoided by proper treatment.

It is said that they passed their girlhood days In New York city, where they were as fond of gaiety as other girls, but that their parents ware strictly op­ posed to dancing and such like amusements. One night when they were dressed to go to a ball their fath­ er came in and forbade their going, but they went anyway and when they returned home they found their father dead. This so wrought upon them that they made a vow to shut them­ selves off entirely from all pleasures. They seem to have religiously ad­ hered to their vow. for since coming to Buchanan they have never been known to emerge from the little cot­ tage which'they bcught when they first came here 26 years ago.

Sales of State Lands. ‘ - Land Commissioner Wlldey predicts that the present fiscal year in the state land office will prove a big one. He estimates that the receipts will total MOO,000 before It closes on June 80. For the first six months the receipts have been over $200,000. Last year the receipts were $222,383. The Increase this year Is largely due to the policy of the commissioner and Auditor Gen­ eral Powers, according to which the latter deeds to the state, under tbe homestead law, more than heretofore of the lands that are delinquent for taxes. Though the receipts increased, the expenses of tbe land office were notably less than last year. Outside of salaries the expenses were $24,604; the year before they were $33,407, and for the fiscal year closing in 1901, ths amount was (28,009. . , - ’• supervisors were jai by the xherMTs bill of (2.B06 feeding tramps, and eat the allowi 'Last K.

There Is aj much difference between tbe ordinary cup of cqffee and tbe exquisite and alluring b^erage with all its subtle aroma ns made by th* artist as there te between horseflesh, aud tbe best English beef. The Turks’, method is simple. They have many little pots of various sizes. If they want to make two cups only they use the smaller ohe, and If three cups a larger one. When tbe water has boiled they fill the little pot almost to the top with water, then put In three lumps of sugar and put the pot on tbe fire to boil. When it te hot they put in two teaspoonfuls of coffee ground very fine and then stir It round until It Is thor­ oughly mixed with the water. Tbe next step Is to place the pot on the fire again and watch it very care­ fully until the coffee bubbles up to a froth, and' before this froth escapes over the side you take the pot from the fire and tap tbe bottom gently on the stove till tbe froth goes down. Once again tho coffee te allowed to bubble over the fire, and the process of tap­ ping the pot on the stove Is repeated three times. When the froth rises to the surface for tbe fourth time the pot should oe taken from the fire and tbe coffee should be poured first Into one cup and then Into another, so that each cup contains a portion of the froth on the top. Tbe Englishman cannot make coffee at a IL He tries hard, but never sue ceeds either in making a perfect cup of Turkish or French coffee. Tbe Frenchman, on tbe other band, also tries bard to make a perfect cup of Turkish coffee, but he meets with llttie more success tban the Englishman. One thing must never be forgotten— the coffee must be freshly roasted and ground. It must not be roasted too black. A dark brown is the Ideal color. Then the flavor Is divine. — Boston Globe.

But, an inland town and almost village, as it was at that time, Pitts­ burg contributed materially toward the notable victory of Oliver H. Perry on Lake Erie Sept. 13, 1818. In Pitts­ burg were manufactured the ropes that were required In the equipment of Perry’s famous fleet This was the first instance that has been placed on record of Pittsburg’s having furnished tbe equipment of a fleet of war for the government, but since that time the Smoky City has al­ ways held a prominent place in the building of vessels of war. Those craft of Perry’s, of course, were only wooden affairs, and the amount of. iron about them was very small. With tbe evolu- ' tion in the construction of war vat came also the development of indus­ tries in Pittsburg, so that now, by tbe manufacture of armor plate for Uncle Sam's ships, the city stlU sustains its reputation which was started in such a humble way in 1813 by furnishing a quantity of rope for Ferry's fleet on Lake Erie. The ropemaking industry was begun in Pittsburg In 1794, and the first one to engage extensively In tbe business was Colonel Jobn Irwin, a Bevototfetf* ary soldier, who we* severely wound­ ed ia the battle of Paoli. After peace was declared he started In tbe business in Pittsburg and at tbe same time es­ tablished the first ropewalk west of the Alleghany mountains. His place df business was located on tbe site for so many years since occupied by the fa­ mous old hotel, the Monongahela House. Here, where since presidents, kings and princes have been entertained, tbe rope business was modestly begun. Colonel Irwin died not long after the establishment of his business in the city, bis death having been tbe result of injuries he sustained In the Revo­ lutionary war. Tbe business was at­ tended to by Mrs. Irwin, who la said to have been a woman of extraordinary energy and ability. Later ber eon as­ sisted her, and thQ business was car­ ried on under the firm name of Mary & John Irwin. In 1795 tbe rbpawalk was removed to the square bounded by Liberty ave­ nue, Third and Fourth streets and Re­ doubt alley. Tbe product turned out by the Irwin* was of a good quality* and was in great demand. Tbe busi­ ness grew, and soon it was necessary to remove the walk to a place where more ground was available. Conse­ quently In 1812 the works were re­ moved to a site on the bank of the Allegheny river near tbe Point . Soon after this last removal there came one day to call on Mrs. Irwin a. boyish looking fellow who introduced himself as Oliver H. Perry. He said that he was building a fleet of war * ' vessels on the shore of Lake Erie and that he would require a considerable quantity of cordage to equip his fleet Mrs. Irwin made a contract with the youthful naval officer, and Id due time the cordage was ail finished and deliv­ ered to Commodore Perry. Tbe amount of rope in this famous order was not great compared with that whjeb te now used In fitting out our modern sea monsters of ships, but for the day and the place the order was a notable one. When the entire or­ der was completed, Mrs. Irwin, who, though well up in years was still in­ terested in business and was Intensely patriotic, gave personal supervision to tbe Inspection and packing of the goods. They were taken by way of the Alle­ gheny valley, part way by boats and part way overland, to tbe famous bay on the south shore of Lake Erie where the impatient Perry was busily engag­ ed In getting his little fleet ready for the coming battle which was to mean so much for the American cause. In • short time the ropes whre all fitted to tbelr places, and the fleet set saQ. What happened at Put-ls-Bay on that famous day of Sept. 13, 1813, is known to erety American. It wa* from one fit hl, victorious ships. fitted with Irwin'* cordage made at Pittsburg, tbit the young commodore sent his Immortal dispatch.

If the extract is put Into the hot custard If loses strength, evaporating with the heat Whip the six whites to a stiff froth with three tablespoonfuls of pulver­ ized sugar. I^ay them ou a flat wire sieve, set over boiling water, and the heat will cook the whites so they will not fall. The whites will rise as they slightly cook and can then be taken off the sieve. Fill a large glass bowl with tbe custard and heap the whites with the spoon over the top, shaping them round like snowballs. If nutmeg is liked, grate over the top of each snowball. Set the custard cups close to the custard bowl. Fill them from a ladle, the size of which will bold enough to fill one cup. Six whites will make five snuv'balls. and enefi snowball will make enough white for the top of three cups. For social functions as many whites may be frothed as one can afford. Ten are uot too many If appearance is the object.

The reference here to the mustache Is Interesting for the reason that every portrait of Thackeray, with one.excep­ tion, represents him with a clean shaven upper lip, tbe exception being Macllse’s pencil drawing of the famous “Tltmareh," which, however, belongs to a much earlier date—viz, about 1840 — and In which there Is Just a suspicion of a mustache.

The origin of tbe distinction dates back to the war of 1812-14, when the commissary general tof the army could not.procun* tbe blue cloth required for General Winfield Scott’s brigade, and so they were chid In gray. So distinguished was the conduct of that brigade at Lundy's Lane and Chip­ pewa that when, after the war of 1812. n reorganization of West- Point Mili­ tary academy was made, out of compli­ ment to General Scott and his brigade the uniform of the corps of cadets was changed from Who to gray.

Thia is an instance et tbe beauty of protection as embodied U she sacred Dingley tariff law which lhe “stand-patters” of tbe republican party are declaring must not be touched. Here is the great steel trust selling I vails to railroads in Canada at a profit I -wo doubt for 121.50 per ton, and at the g '-aame time charging American ratiB* roads thirty per cent, more for the f same thing. I’rVIf Mr. Carnegie can make money out I of the Canadians by selling them rails at 12160, be is simply holding up tbe I American roads to the tune of 16.50 a ion, just because our government gj stands back of him and “protects” him. . No wonder this infant industry has be­ come Inordinately strong and lusty. L’. . That Mr. Hill and the other railroad ? • magnates of this country should thus be discriminated against would not be i 4K> lamentable a fact if no one was co^"’ concerned but themselves. They are k‘ aU protectioniste and upholders of the 5 republican party and If they are now I receiving a dose of their own medicine lhe common people might well look on with complacency. But of course this k extra cost of steel rails which Lhe rail­ S• roads have to pay comes out of the peopie in tbe form of increased transporB latten rates. For the people, like E Jones of Blnghampton, always “pay the freight.” But it should be remembered that steel is not tbe only protected article ' that is being sold to foreigners at a low• • er price than to our own people. The trust made goods of all kinds are being l ’ wold in foreign markets xt a price that enables them to compete with gooes manufactured in those foreign countries and we Americans are paying a much K> higher price for these same articles. KJ No wonder tbe protected trusts are get­ ting inordinately rich and powerful. I And as long as they control tbe legis­ lation of congress we can not expect i tariff reduction. This means as long L. M tbe republican party is in power. Are the ths American people ^polng j?i to ____ _iniquitous, L,.!___ «this _ Tangerous stand this aai policy of protection to the trusts for- ’ ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

One evening, however, seeing that he waa in an unusually genial frame of mind, she went up to him. book In hand, and sugared her request with a bribe. . "Master, if you will write cnc little thing to my album, g line even, I will give you your choice of two rewards. You shall either have a kiss or you shall have a wonderful pate de foie gras which has just been sent to me from Toulouse.” Berlioz smiled and was silent for a moment. .Presently he said, “Giv^mn your album." Instantly he was pro­ vided with writing necessities. Then he wrote, "Oportct pate.” “What does it mean?” asked Mme. Patti, puzzled. “It means, my child, ’Bring the pate,’ ’’ answered Belloz sweetly. , Mme. Patti pouted and then fetched the promised pate.—Annaies. CANAL MOTOQ TESTED. ZJectrielty. The practical test of tbe "electric mule," the new system for towing canal boats, was recently made in Schenec­ tady, N. Y„ to the presence of Govern­ or Odell, W. M. Mead, deputy superin­ tendent of public works, and other state officials. Tbe test was made on tbe towpath of the Erie canal opposite the plant of tbe General Electric company.

Caterpillars accommodate themselves wonderfully 10 circumstances and dis­ play at critical periods of their devel­ opment very high powers of instinct, which may seem akin to reasoning. Huber describes.a succession of proc­ esses by which one of them ccnstrucrs a most complicated hammock for its approaching change Into chrysalis form. He found that a caterpillar taken from Its bamjnock and put in another nest at an earlier stage of construction did not seem puzzled, but took up the work methodically as he found It and carried it to completion from that print. ■ If. however, a caterpillar whs put in­ to a hammock that had been carried to a later stage than Its own had reached, instead of feeling any benefit from work thus done for it,' it became em­ barrassed and would go over the al­ ready advanced work from the stage with which it was Itself familiar be­ fore It could complete the task. From these facts we may gather that each condition leads on In definite order to the next and that results are due to a proper sequence apart from any'actual calculation. The artist Hans Canon once painted a Russian prince in a magnificent fur mantle which took his fancy so great ly that he endeavored to hit on a plan by which he might retain possession of it. On sending home the portrait he omitted to return thb garment, and to the letter requesting him to do so ho made no reply. One day. when look ing out of a window, he saw the prince coming toward bls bouse. Hastily slip­ ping into the garb, Canon sat down in an armchair near the fire. Tho prince, who had come for bls coat, started on seeing Caron groaning and trembling at the fireside. “What is the matter with you?’ be asked. "Ob.” groaned Canon, “I don’t know ,-wbat it is, but I feel so weak and wretched, and I can­ not get warm! Two days ago my brother died of smallpox, and I aw a bit nervous about myself." The artist kept the coat. “Ever notice how many men bang on to their morning papers on u rainy day?’ inquired a Harlemite.t “No? Well, they keep them to Xlry their shoe?. There are nearly a score of clerks In our office, and on fair days they leave their newspapers in their trains or boats, but when the streets are wet they ^teep them. "Every one except the old fashioned fellows who wear overshoes puts his morning paper under his desk and plants hia wet boots on It Remarkable thing how the paper, being more ab­ sorbent than tbe leather, extracts the dampness from a pair of Rhoes. In half an hour the wet papers are kicked aside, and the clerks have avoided the discomfort of working all day In wet shoes.”—New York Times. Died and Re-dled. During the Boer war a British soldler, who had been rej>orted killed in a certain battle and against whose name in the regimental book a note to that effect had been .made, afterward turn­ ed up and reported himself. Then the sergeant made another note in the book,- “Dietl by mistake." The man was placed In hospital and a few weeks later succumbed to tbe injuries he bad received. This fact was communicated to tbe sergeant through the colonel of the regiment, and then a third note was .made. “Re-dled by order of the colonel." CLOSING OUT HAND DECORATED CHINA AT COST PRICES.

The official test was to demonstrate the efficiency, flexibility yand economy of the machine in lhe question of ca­ nal towage. The test was entirely suc­ cessful, and Governor Odell and all who witnessed the experiments ex­ pressed their satisfaction so far ns the practical workings of the “electric mule” are concerned. The experiments were practical and se”ere. Four boats, each loaded with 250 tops of sand, were used for the test. First, two boats were started from each end of the track to demon­ strate the speed with this load and the ease with which the boats and “mules” pass. Then all conceivable tests wer<*made with one “mule." One. two three and four boats were drawn, all west bound, against tbe current. The "mule” took the four boats west for tbe distance at a speed of live miles an hour. The overage speed with horses or mules is one and a half miles an hour and about two miles an hour with steam PANCOAST’S Watch Store.

A RAZORLESS SHAVE. Why use a razor? Why pay the bar­ ber 15 cents for a shave and 10 cents extra for not cutting your throat? Tho answer Isn’t “Let your whiskers grow" either, for Dr. Wolfram E. Dreyfus, chief chemist of the New York city department of charities, bas compound­ ed a little mixture which If rubbed over the face will do the trick ns quickly and its well ns the finest Shef­ field razor. This is the wonder work­ ing compound: Barii Rulphidi, 25 parts; saponis pul vis, 5 parts; tala venetl pulvis, 35 parts; tritcl farlnn?, 35 parts; benzaldebydi, as much as necessary. Dr. Dreyfus has been working for a long time on this “pulvis depilatorius,’’ or shaving powder, and after many experiments he says that be has found something that is satisfactory and harmless. Tbe several ingredients mentioned above when mixed together make u powder. For the new scientific razorless shave you take one teaspoonful of tbe powder and mix it with three teaspoonfuls of water, making a paste which you apply to the face in a mod­ erately thick and even layer with a brush from your otherwise discarded shaving outfit. After four or five min­ utes moisten tbe lather with a spong-: and In five minutes more you can wash the mixture off. leaving a beardless, gash less face. Tbe new hair grows in much more slowly, but otherwise the effect is the same as that of a razor shave, except the cost of the new process, which is hardly worth considering.

It ia quite potable that when yon were told that you bad a murmur ih the heart yon fancied you had heart diaoun. • The murmur of anemia disappears when the blood regains its natural consistency and riennema. It is not heart disease. KZ Sometimes people suffer intense pain over the heart, which ia not y heart disease, but caused by the stomach. It is the occasion of ■ much anxiety, alarm and Buffering, for which its victim is dependent ’ upon reflex disturbances from the stomach caused by indigestion. In „ the same way many had coughs are dependent upon these reflex dis­ turbances of what is called the pneumogastric nerve. There can be no question that the common sense way of treating all these symptoms is hrst to cast out the poisons from the system by a simple vegetable laxative such as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. These are made from botanical extracts, in concentrated form? To enrich the blood and increase the red blood corpuscles, Dr. Pierce, years ago, dem­ onstrated in his large practice that there was a vegetable compound that would quickly cure tbe bad symptoms enumerated above and increase the red blooa corpuscles thereby feeding the nerves on rich blood anfl doing away with nervous irritability. This was hisn Golden Medical Discovery" which dso acts upon the digestion and qssimilation of food in the stomach so that the blood gets its proper food from the atomach. Feed the lungs, stomach and heart on rich red blood and you have surely a healthy body which will throw off the germs of disease which lurk everywhere. Get as near to nature’s way as you can. A medicine made entirely of botanical extracts and which does not contain alcohol is tbe safest Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery contains no alcohol or narcotics. Some blood medicines do, and when alcohol touches the little red blood corpuscles they begin to shrink and are,reduced to broken fragments and shapeless masses. They are fairly cut into pieces and eaten up by the alcohol. Therefore, * * * medicine is not particularly good for the blood. • Mrs. Wm. Wise, of Fishbuni. N.W. Ter., writes: "I came to Alberta, some two years ago, and was e total (fV wreck. Had been told by good doctors in the United States that 1 had consumption. Had bemor* rhages from the lungs, would also hnve dreadful palna in left side ia tbe short ribs. Could not get my breath ; would almost Aoke to death. Tried everything I could hear of.

The lowering of the stars and stripes from Cabana barracks and tbe removal r of the last squadron of American sol­ diers from Cuban soil on Thursday last i eoosummated a policy of which every American citizen has reason to be ' proud. Never before in tbe history ot the world has a great and powerful naj' lion pursued such a magnanimous course towards a weak people. We en­ tered upon tbe Spanish war with no other purpose 'then to free the Cuban ! people and put an end to Spanish con­ i’. trol or influence in the western, hemisI ph ere. According to all precedents we might have taken advantage of the situation to annex Cuba to the United States. Such a course would have been advantageous to ourselves from a mili­ tary point of view, as well as from a commercial, and the world would have looked on with approval, taking such action as a matter of course. Indeed, there has been a considerable number of our own people who have deprecated the foolish sentimentalism, as they have deemed it, which prompted con­ gress to pledge ultimate freedom to Cuba, and there has been a disposition on tbe part of this element to urge the breaking of the nation's faith. Fortunately, no such dishonorable thing bas been done. In spite of a strong effort in congress to ignore tbe solemn pledge of tbe nation to leave the control of Cuba to tbe Cuban peo­ ple, in spite of lhe bitter fight of the •> protectionists to prevent a reciprocal commercial treaty with Cuba to be rati­ fied, the decent, honorable Sentiment of tbe nation bas prevailed, and we have now carried into effect the very last promise which we so solemnly made with reference to Che Cuban people. We have shown Che world chaC che great American republic is not so sor­ did and grasping that It canned. do a disinterested act of kindness and hu­ manity towards a weak people strug■ -gling for tbeir rights. And while there has been a foolish, unreasoning sentiment that when tbe American flag bas been raised over territory it must never be taken down under any circumstances, it is never­ theless a proud thing for true Ameri­ can patriotism to know that it has been taken down from floating over a for­ eign people after having brought tbe blessings of liberty to that people, in order that they might raise their own flag to the plaee it bas occupied tem­ porarily in order to bless them. And now that the American repub­ lic bas written this glorious page In its history,, what is to prevent a similar policy of beneficence and humanity to­ wards our Philippine dependencies? If we have given liberty to Cuba whoso possession would be very valuable to . us, why should wp not givo ultimate In­ dependence to the Philippines whose administration will always be a burden and a menace to our peace? Can any good reason be advanced why wesbouid not pursue a policy towards these dls' tant islands similar to that which we have followed in Cuba with so much honor and justice? Mr. Gorman On th© Navy. ' । ' Id defending himself against Senator Lodge’s charge of hostility to the navy, Senator Gorman took a position which will commend itself to those of his fel­ low citizens who have not become, like Lodge, Foraker and most of Lhe other republican leaders, arrant' jingoiats and imperialists. He denied that he was opposed to building up the navy, But declared that we do not need a navy to compete with that of Great Britain or Germany, because our con­ ditions do not require such a navy. All we need of a navy is for tbe pur­ pose of guarding our commercial inter­ eats and enforcing our just position. Tbe senetor very aptly cited the fact that when we had a navy that cost us <16,000,000 a year we effectively interferred in tbe interest of Venezuela dur­ ing tbe Cleveland administration, while now we are paying (82,000,000 a year tor a navy with which to threaten Colombia.

She at once began the landing of troops in Korea, and Mon­ day night a fleet of torpedo boats made a night attack on the Russian fleet of torpedo boats lying in tbe harbor of Port Arthur with the result that two battleships were disabled and another damaged. • Monday tbe Japanese won a second naval victory off Chemulpo, Korea. According to the dispatch received by the Japanese minister at London, a Japanese squadron, escorting -trans­ ports, met on the way to Chemulpo, the Russian gunboat Korietz as the latter was coming out of port.

By 7 o'clock forty costly buildings had been ruined. A dozen blocks had been all but devastated. A high southwest wind, augmented by the ar­ tificial gales which heated air and Taeuums bring forth, had been piping' the flames along from the outset At nightfall,- however, this > wind In­ creased. Cinders and ashes were blown for a dozen miles. Baltimore's residence section was enveloped in soot. Hot fagots fell upon tbj people gathered in the downtown • aets and many were burned severely. Chemicals Ignite. After the Hurst building had burned, the great warehouses of A. C. Meyer & Co., the Carrollton Chemical Com­ pany, tho Stanley & Brown Drug Com­ pany, and numerous other storehouses filled with explosive chemicals and drugs were attacked by the flames. Crash followed crash. Firemen scur­ ried hither acd thither to avoid cer­ tain denrh lurking on every hand. It was useless to try to fight the cyclone ’ of flames in the ordinary manner. Lad- ’ tiers were hardly raised to some build- j Ings when an explosion shattered the j structures and caused the firemen and police to run for their lives. Insured th» Hiatorlax.

Many people owe their present good health to the fact that they consulted Dr. Pierce by letter, giving him all possible information about their condition, symptoms, etc., and received in return good medical advice which cost them nothin?. Write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, the founder of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. > -• Dr. Pierce by no means confines himself to prescribing his well-known medicines. He tells you in the most common-sense way what ails you, what you ought to do, what line of treatment should be followed out in your par­ ticular case, and if your case does not indicate the need for this proprietary medicine, he tells yon plainly and frankly what you do need, and the best possible method of improving your health. If you are a young woman just entering upon the duties of life, you should have good medical advice of a confidential nature. If you're a mother of children, you may want advice about vourself and how best to put your system in order that your children may be healthy. To sufferers from chronic dis­ eases which do not readily yield to treatment, or to people who are past the youthful stage of life and want confidential advice about tttir ailments orlheir physical condition, Dr. Pierce offers to carefully consider your case and give you the best medical advice within his power, free of cost to you. Dr. Pierce treats many chronic cases at a distance, through the mail and all you have to do is to write him your symptoms. *4 "During my two years of married life I have not had good health,* writes Mrs. Daisy Studdard, of 608 S. Esplanade Avenue, Leaven­ worth, Kans. "I was all run-down, and my husband got me to write Dr. Pierce and explain my case to him and see if he could do me _r good. So I wrote, and, thank the Lord, I got an early reply telling was. ---------I commenced taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite me what the — trouble .——-----Prescription, and also the ‘ Pleasant Pellets, ’ and now can say that I feel like S new woman, and can say also that we have a big baby four months old. It was just wonderful how I got along, and now I do all my work and do not feel tired out like I used to. I have taken eight bot­ tle* of the 'Favorite Prescription.' It makes one feel weir and strong." ■I received both of your letters,’' writes Mm. Eva Vedder, of Oneida, Lenawee Co., Mich., •and would say I do not know what my trouble was unless it was a misplacement of some onpan in the alxlomen. I was so weak I did not have strength enough to stand on my feet long at a time, neither could I sit up very long. There was a sore spot on the left side of my MAIL abdomen which pained me very much when I walked. I lost my appetite, had a severe pain in the pit of my stomach which was worse when lying down. I commenced with your medi­ cines, taking ' Favorite Prescription ’ and ‘ Golden Medical Discovery, ‘ alternately, and when I bad the two bottle* half taken I was much improved. I took fonr bottles, and to-day I am just as well and strong as anybody could ask to be. My husband says, 'Dr. Pierce's medi­ cines have been worth one hundred dollars to us.’ We (eel that we cannot say enough for the good I have received from your medicines. I thank you for your kind and quick replies to my letters." “When I wrote to you, sometime ago, asking for advice. I was in very poor health," writes Mrs. Ethel Trepto, of Merrill (West Merrill), Wisconsin, Box54, "suffering continually with severe pains and terrible headaches, and was confined to my bed the greater part of the time. I thought I was in a delicate condi­ tion, and thinking something mt St be wrong, I consulted three different doctors, all of whom are com­ monly called good doctors. None could tell what my case was. One said that in no way could I be helped except by having an operation. Every woman dreads the thought of an operation, and so did I, and be­ sides I was not la circumstances to afford an operation, so after reading one of Dr. Pierce's pamphlets, I decided to write to him. I did so, and was told that my case resulted from catching cold and not properly ' '"W" Caring for” my health at the time of monthly period, also that my kidney* were in bad condition. My back was fairly sore from continual aching, and sometimes when I would lie down someone had to rub my back for nearly an hour before I could get any rest I had a bad cough all the time, and my friends thought I had consumption, or was surely running into it, and very rapidly, tOO. After taking three bottle* of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and two of the ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and two vials of Dr. Pierre's Pellets, I am able to say truly that I am cured ; but I shall continue to take your remedies a while yet, so as to make •ore that there will be no further trouble of the kind. I thank God and Dr. Pierce so much for being in as good health as I am to-day." IETTB5 TT OOMMOM SEMSE MEOKAL ADVISER, ooetf aining XML fka* Dp. R. F. PIEROE, BaHalo, JV. Y.

Mj’rifiBWplHE question of intemperance is one which ia largely IN THE HANDS OF EMPLOYERS OF LABQR. When the employer understands and an­ nounces that he can hire a man with a clear head for yfu/ the same compensation for which he can get one with ■ muddled brain the temperance movement ia subjected to a force not known by any other method. Jt may well bo called the dynamics of the temperance movement and began on the rail­ roads a generation ago, first in orders that men who drank while on duty should not be employed. It was soon seen that this meint noth­ ing whatever, and so the next movement was to prohibit "the employ­ merit of men who were HABITUAL drinkers even in slight degree. This movement bus spread over the country. The public is inter•■ted as much as the railroads themselves. The safety of travel and > the avoidance of disaster concern the whole people, and thus the . economic value of tbe prohibition has been felt in every direction. IT 1 KOW EXTENDS TO PRIVATE AND CORPORATE CON CERNS which desire to run their establishments with as little- friotion and as little loss as possible. The common and the statutory laws which make employers liable in some degree and under certain circumstances for the carelessness of their employees are a most pow­ erful incentive to the employment of men with clear heads. Thus economically again the movement acquires strength. THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES RELATIVE TO WAGES ARE THOSE WHICH CAN BE DRAWN FROM ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AS A RULE. WAGES ARE HIGHER AT-^THE PRESENT TIME THAN AT ANY PREVIOUS PERIOD IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY. This applies not only to this, but to Other lands. Of course high wages in some degree mean high prices, but in all probability WAGES HAVE KEPT AHEAD OF PRICES, so that the real purchasing power, which constitutes real wages themselves, is also higher than St any other period in the history of the country. WHAT WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS -HAVE DONE FOR WOMEN | Sy CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT, PresMent NsUmsI Wonwa SuWraJe Association |HE first organization of women in the United States l was that formed by woman suffragists. The first col‘ lege graduates, the first women speakers and the first | petitioners to legislatures for better law for women ' were WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS. • When Ernestine L. Rose in 1836 wished to petition the New York legislature to give married women the right to control their own property she could find in the whole state BUT FIV E WOM EN to join with her. That incident must ever stand as a milepost indicating tbe indifference of women at that date to their own ad^aacement A half century has rolled by, and the results of this movement •re so complete that many a woman grasps the privileges and lib­ erties of today without the slightest thought that other women bore the brunt of a cruel worldj bitterest condemnation that she might possess them. She takes her college degree, forgetful that when this movement began the world hbnestly believed women did not possess physical health or mental strength sufficient to master a college course. She freely speaks in public, forgetful that other women were mobbed and “rotten egged” before tbe public would tolerate such liberty. She enters business and professions, collects her wages, manages fortunes, buys add sells, forgetful that none of these privlieges would be hers HAD NOT OTHER WOMEN PLEADED ILER CAUSE. She attends her club, forgetful that the first organ ixations were compelled to live down the public conviction that or ganized women only sought “notoriety by making themselves conspicuous before men.” HAPPILY PLACED MILIATING THE COMMON LAW RATIONAL STATUTES.

Tbe Central High School three story building is well provided with large stairways and halls.

An additional exit should be made from the third rtory hall on west side of Pjirker House, and a ladder or steps from the east side of north wing of Hotel Barry, and there should be direction cards put up. calling attention to the fire escapes. . The Maocabee and Odd Fellows halls in tbr Empire block, and the Knights’ of Pythias ball in Union block, have no means of escape, should a fire occur In tbe rear, or ante-rooms aod stair­ ways.

POUB HOBO TOPS, other, and when the top is thrown add all spin together the centrifugal force causes the upper saucers to lift and float off two or three yards before they fall to the ground. The sauccr-llke forms are tediously worked down from hard wood by the boys during tbe long boars of tbe day. Another strange style of Moro toj^a represented in Fig. 3. It Is an egg shaped affair, cut out of boxwood ma­ terial, with a furrow in the middle. The top is spun upon the pointed end of a metal shaft which ruus vertically through it. This is called the fighting top, as the boys use It with great force upon other tops, throwing it so hard as to split them wltb the point. The snake top is represented In Fig. 4. it is made from roots which grow in this form. Much skill is needed to obtain the proper balance. • Usually the native lad has tbe top with him for weeks, working it down, playing with it and adjusting the balance be­ fore he can spin It Tbe top spins only a little while be­ fore It topples over, but I noticed that tbe youngsters had more fun with these awkward long necked tops than with any others.--Ex-Soldier in Youth's Companion.

Hastings Herald, Hastings, Mich., Gentlemen.—Please accept my sym­ pathy that you are not io the “Land of Simshln^.” We do not have winter here, just a little frost nowand then at night, and that only on account of the altitude which is about five thousand feet above the sea level at this place. The air is cool, fresh and like your clear days in September, the only dif­ ference being the extreme clearness and purity of the air which reveals mountain ranges with perfect distinct­ ness one hundred forty miles away. A Michigander can not comprehend the beauty of this climate and only by a visit to this section can he realize the charms It has for a northern man. When the cold, dampness and gen­ eral cussedness of the Michigan climate make life seem too strenuous, emigrate to New Mexico. Here there h plenty of room for all who wish to come, as the territory is about twice the size of the state of Michigan. Here also is a welcome and an opportunity for north­ ern men, for in thia land of mountain, mesa, desert and fertile valleys the sound of Industry is just beginning to wake the solitude and new railroads, mines and virigation works are begin­ ning to grow under the hand of the en­ ergetic white man, a condition of pro­ gress which the dusky Met can has been unable to inaugurate during his three hundred years of occupancy. For these reasons and many others I like New Mexico, and it is said that no one can smell the grease wood that grows upon its tablelands, and go away without experiencing such a longing to return, that sooner or later their foot­ steps turn in this direction and the land of sunshine claims them for Its own. I inclose a few photos that may be of interest. Yours truly L. B. Bentley Troubles of a Trust. Two interesting phases of the policy of the Standard Oil Company are taken up in the March installment of the his­ tory of that marvelous organization by Ida M. Tarbell in the March McClure’s which she styles ‘‘The Troubles of u Trust. ” After perfecting hie stupendous machine, all that Mr. John D, Rocke­ feller asked of the country by the year 1885, she shows, was to be let alone, but that good fortune was not to be bis. Calmly Ignoring his critics, idr. Rocke­ feller ‘‘sawed wood.” But this attitude of supreme Indifference, while supreme­ ly wise as a policy, did net protect him from assault on many sides. As Miss Tarbell writes: “Probably the greatest trial Mr. Rockefeller has ever had has come from the persistency with which the malcontents have kept him before the public.” Try as he might, he could not get out of the fierce white light which beats upon the throne. In spite of the dazzling effect of wealth and power there were ever a few irreconcllables who refused to cry ‘'Peace” when there was no peace. The effect of the agitation thus created was to cause much fierce antagonism and spread a general desire to have the real status and character of the Stand­ ard Oil Company investigated and de­ fined. This feeling was intensified in 1885-6-7 by a series of remarkable trials and investigations of which Miss Tar­ bell writes in detalL More of the meth­ ods employed to crush competition and escape prosecution are revealed and the lines sharply drawn between fact and fiction. To the credit of the men In­ volved in accomplishing the purposes of the Standard it is shown that much gross exaggeration sod false accusation has been laid at their door, although the trdth is bad enough as Miss Tarbell indiscrimlnatingly and dispassionately presents it. The story of the rise and fall of the Buffalo Lubricating Works, of the men and circumstances which at­ tend it reads like a'melodrama of ab­ sorbing interest. Moore-Gilding. Hoose to Rent.

F. Waters about fifty of the neighbors assembled at the home of John Dawson in Rutland and very pleasantly surprised him. Mr. Dawson has been a reeldent of that township for many years and they could^*¥ see him move away, even to Hastings, with­ out showing their esteem and friend­ ship. The evening was spent la visit­ ing, telling stories of olden times, etc., and enjoying a sumptuous supper which the ladies had previously prepared and brought with them. Previous to re­ pairing for home A. C. Boyes <disoov- ' ered that John Waters had been to this city a few days before the event and purchased a nice cane suited for Mr. Dawson’s use, so in a few appropriate ’ ' words it was presented to him as a slight token of friendship. Last Friday the people In the vicini­ ty of the AItoft school in Carlton were given a little excitement for several hours. Three drunken tramps took possession of a barn and when ordered to get out, threatened to burn the barn as well as the other buildings. In spite of tbelr threats, however, they vacated and then took possession of the Altoft school house. The sheriff was at once notified and Officer O’Connor was sent out. He experienced consid­ erable trouble in arresting the hobos and getting them lodged in jail here as they were ugly. One of them at­ tempted to run away when he arrested them but a shot fired over bis bead brought him back. The next day they were brought before Justice Bishop and two of them were sent to the Detroit house of correction for 90 days, while the other was sentenced to 30 days in the county jail. “Th® plates on the table looked strange to me, though I have used them forty yearn.

She was unconscious that sbe was repenting the story that has been told by convalescents from the time of llazlitt till the present day. . Familiar things take on a disguise to the recovering eye. Even the face of a friend bears a new depth of meaning. “Did she use to look at ine with such Intensity of gaze? Did she clasp my hand so warmly? Was her voice so gentle and her word so full of hope and courage before I was Rick?” To the human creature just returning to life after lingering for days at the gates of death the whole world as­ sumes a new aspect.

The country needs tbe democratic yurty and it needs all of it, and all of it, nnd all of the patriotic and conserv­ ative forces that have co operated with ju Never, perhaps, has there been a time when united action was more necessary than now. Democrats do not disagree as to essentials. They do not disagree as to the broad principles for which the party has stood for more than a century. They do not disagree as to any of the things that are now im­ portent. Matters that may be denomi­ nated as personal must, in Che interest of party success, be disregarded. The democratic party is just tbe democratic party. It is not composed of one man •r two men or three men, however con­ spicuous or prominent or useful they may have been or are now. Wo do not feel’ that the little disagreements be­ tween men who have been leaders of the party forces should be considered seriously by the delegates who shall be elected to take part in the July conven­ tion. There is not one of these men who does not want to see his party suc­ cessful. This is the year 1904—the year in which to forget and to forgive. Let ua bave peace—honorable peace, bene­ ficial peace. There should be patience, forbearance and a compromising dispo­ sition. Tbe rank and file have a right to demand this, and they do demand it. —Indianapolis Sentinel. No Sentiment in Business. Tbe Russians are said to be displeas­ ed wl»h the American attitude. They are said to be canceling orders for American goods, and to be threatening a boycott aga'nst our products. But there is no great occasion for alarm io ibis. Such manifestations are familiar, ■ and even if they do exist they soon pass away. The Russian trade may be cur tailed temporarily by resentment. But there is very little sentiment in busi­ ness. If wo have tbe goods that Russia wants, better in quality and cheaper ifl price than the goods cau be purcbeased elsewhere, Russia will come here for them. Trade depends very‘little upon international feeling. It is the dollar mark that business looks after, not po­ litical opinions or religiods faith.— Grand Rapids Herald. Neither is Deserving. The Journal is willing to concede what the Republicans are claiming, namely: That both of the candidates for the Republican nomination for gov­ ernor arc disqualified for the office. They say that one is tbe tool of the po­ litical ringsters and corporation graft­ ers, and that the other is a corrupter of public morals. We should be pleased to have tbe people accept these claims of the rival factions as true. These claims are suf­ ficient warrant to the people to reject ■ them both, and to cast their votes at the election for the Democratic nomi­ nee- ' Not one can say now who the Democratic nominee may be, but he' will not be the candidate of the cor­ porations and machine politicians, nor will be be one wbo has corrupted tbe primaries of his own or any other 5arty by the use of money.—Lansing ournal. Outcome of the Policy of Peter y the GreatNeverin all the history of mankind was there so terrible an illustration as in Russia of Shakespeare’s saying, “The evil that men do lives after tbesj.” Tbe Russia that inspires man­ kind with dread and horror is tbe Rus• mb that wm first formed in the mind of Peter the Groat.

Burgeon Perry Bays Coion Is in a De­ plorable Condition. Washington, Feb. 29.—Surgeon J. C. Perry of tbe marine hospital service, who has been making a special study for President Roosevelt of the sani­ tary conditions on the isthmus, has submitted an exhaustive preliminary report to Surgeon General Wyman. He describes Colon as woefully un­ sanitary and unhealthy and says that ite redemption will be an Immense task. Colon Is built on the Island of Manzanllla, leased from the govern­ ment by the Panama Railroad com­ pany, Of this he says: ’’The unoccupfed portion of the Island,* by far the larger, remains to-day a primitive swamp, which extends back of the town on the mainland for fifteen miles, this swamp being from three to five miles wide. The most common and fatal disease in Colon is malarial fever, especially the pernicious forms. Cam Colon be made a healthy town? I think this can be answered in the affirmative. It means a good supply of water, the destruction of the great­ er number of buildifigs occupied by the negro population and the con­ struction ofnew bouses on sanitary principles.” Fira In Hotel.

The fleet has been hovering about the vi­ cinity of Vladivostok fo some days and the blockade was r"pected. In­ coming steamers report Russian cruis­ ers off the Bay of Sendai, on the east coast of Japan. It is probable that the Japanese forces which landed at Posslet bay. and whose destination was supposed to be Kirin, may attack Vladivostok from the rear. SAY RUSSIANS FLED.

Chemulpo, Feb. 29.—The first land engagement between Russian and Jap­ anese troops took place Saturday north of Ping-Yang. A squadron of Cossacks, coming from the direction of Anju, thirty miles to tbe northwest, appeared on the Seoul road and were met by a body of Japanese infantry, which bad been warned of the enemy’s approach by the outposts. Fire was quickly opened on the advancing cav­ alry, which at once turned about and dashed off in the direction of Anjn. The Japanese plan of campaign is steadily being carried out. For many days past transports, almost entirely unescorted, Japan being so confident of her command of tbe sea. have been arriving here, while reports from other places show that the landing of troops have been equally successful Ping-Yang is the center of operations in northwest Corea, and a large body of troops, With many guns, are en­ camped there. They are faced by a huge force of Russian troops, esti­ mated to be between 30,000 and 40 000 men, with about fifty guns, wbo have, during tho past week, crossed the Yalu and are now within touch of their ad­ vance body at Anju.

I It is now announced that George IL Horton of Fruit Ridge will be a candi­ date for ihe gubernatorial nomination. The former statesmen has evidently come to the conclusion that he has some chance of winning the prfte and eo he bas decided to enter tbe race with Warner and Stearns and fight it out lo the bitter end. This determination ot tbe great cheese-maker of Lenawee county, will introduce a new element of doubt into the struggteand add zest to the situation. . . ' And there is no reason why Mr. Hor­ ton should not stand as good a chance of winning tbe nomination as his two, competitors if the honor is to be con­ ferred on the score of merltand fitness. He is a broad minded, successful farm­ er and businessman; as grand master of tbe state grange for- a number of years he has become thoroughly famil­ iar with the administration of large af­ fairs, and as a largo and progressive farmer he would be heartily in sympa­ thy not only with the farmers of the state, but also with the laboring classes generally. But it is hardly probable that he will ’ capture the nomination. The farmers of his party and tbe common people generally may support him, bpthe will lack tbe backing of the machine on tbe one hand and the persuasive power of “a barrel” on ythe other. His candi­ dacy will be likely to draw more from tbe Stearns forces than from those of Warner, thereby endangering the chances of tbe former. Why Sympathize With Either? very unfavorable impression in the minds of our old friends. They do doubt regard tbe American sympathy with their enemy with indignant and painful surprise. • * And yet it is not surprising when tbe facts are considered, after all, nor is there such ingratitude in tbe Ameri­ can position as tbe Ruslans evidently believe. Tbe Americans are not un­ friendly to tbe Russians as a people, nor forgetful of Russia’s traditional friendship for tbe United States. But aa between the two belligerent nations both of whom have been friends of ours, we cannot help but sympathizing with the one which appears to have the juster cause for, fightlng-and whose success promises to be the more profitable to the world at large. At the same time it will probably bo best for us not to allow our sympathies to be so pronounced as to be seriously offensive to Russia. The probability is that Russia is about to receive a lesson which, however severe it may be, will be salutary in the end. There is no doubt that the great Muscovite empire needs awakening from its medievalism. Its government is autocratic, tyran­ nical and out of touch with tbe spirit of the twentieth century . Its civic in­ stitutions are behind the times, its mili­ tary system is rotten, its political life is corrupt. If the war with Japan rude­ ly awakens this mighty nation from its narrowness and self-satisfaction, shows it its weakness and stirs the stagnant pools of Russian political life into a ferment of reform—’tbe conflict will prove a blessing to our obi friends. And in such a case they will find that the American people will rejoice even more heartily than they now ap­ pear to sympathize with the enemies of Russia. Tbe case, than, may fairly be stated as one in which the people df the United States, while feeling no en­ mity whatever for Russia, believe that tbe best results for all the world, in­ cluding the Russians themselves, will be furthered by Japanese success rather than by Russian. It. is quite likely that If an expression of American sentiment towards Russia , and Janao could be taken today a large majority of us would be found to be in sympathy with Japan. And it is also . likely that if this sympathy could be Tbe Postal Fraud Convictions. analyzed it would be found to be based on merely sentimental reasons without The conviction of August W Machen much logical basis of fact behind it. late general superintendent of tbe We admire tbe Japs because they are rural free delivery division, and three 1 plucky, brave and enterprising and we other leaders In the post office frauds, recognize in them many of tbe traits will be received with satisfaction by all whloh we ourselves possess.

Pierson & Son • ' �AN AWFUL PROSPECT. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SEIF PERFECnONMENT •y count uo Taura HE term end conception, the perfectionment of one e self, does not please one because be finds the word per­ fectionment too vague and too large. I have thought precisely this, and there is a CONNECTION be­ tween thia and the question on forms of life. _ True life is given to man on two conditions—the first, THAT HE DO GOOD to his neighbor (and there is only one good—to increase love among men—to feed the'hungry, visit the sick, etc.; all this only to increase love among men); the second, to augment THE POWER OF LOVE given to him. One of these conditions Is necessary to tho other. Good acta which increase love among men are only such when I fee) in performing them that love increases in me when I do them lovingly, tenderly. And love increases in me (I am perfected) only when I do good acta and excite love in another. Hence, if I do good acts and remain indifferent, or if I am perfected and think that I increase love within me without exciting love in an­ other (sometimes this again excites evil), I fail. , I SUCCEED ONLY WHEN I KNOW WITH CERTAINTY—AND WE ALL KNOW IT—THAT I LOVE AND THAT MEN ARE BECOMING MORE LOVING. THIS, AMONG OTHER THINGS. IS A PROOF THAT LOVE 18 AN INTEGRAL SUBSTANCE. GOD IS THE SAME TO US KLL. IN DISCOVERING HIM WITHIN US WE DISCOVER HIM IN OTHERS, AND INVERSELY. To live on the top of a pillar, to withdraw into the deaert or to ■live in a community—all this can bo provisory, necessary to men, but as definite forms it is evident error and unreason. To live a pure and holy life on a pillar or in a community is impossible, because the man is deprived of a half of life—COMMUNION WITH THE WORLD. To live always thus one must deceive oneself. Lt is evident, in­ deed, that just as it is impossible in the current of an impure river to separate a little circle of pure water by some chemical process, so It is impossible to live alone or in a society with some as saints in a whole world which lives in violence for money. Ground and cattle must be bought or rented; relations must be entered into with the exterior, the non-Christian world. We cannot liberate ourselves from It, AND WE OUGHT NOT TO, except that in general we ought to abstain from those things which we need not do. We only deceive ourselves. The whole work of a disciple of Christ consists in estab­ lishing the most Christian relations with this world. ' Tho people who bave not attained the perfection of a new life are always uniquely occupied with preparations for life, but the life itself does not exist for them. They are only occupied with eating, deeping, study, rest, the perpetuation of the race, education. They lack but one thing—life, the development of life.

There is a good hygienic reason for this increase in grape fruit’:) popularity, its peculiar acid renders it an almost sovereign remedy for ma­ larial and bilious troubles, while as a “bracer” it is quite the equal of quinine and vastly more agreeable. Physicians recommend it most highly for grip con­ valescents, and some assert that the habitual consumer of grape fruit can even consider himself immune from the prevalent malady.—Exchange.

It makes one feel so terribly conscious.” “Wbat about the man?” Mowbray asked quietly. “Doesn’t it occur to you that perhapj he might need a little encouragement—that perhaps be might be a trifle conscious too?” For a moment there was alienee be­ tween them. The point of view was utterly new to Miss Farrar, and she was obviously impressed by it “I never thought of that,” she ad­ mitted slowly. “I thought that sort of thing was bo In a man's line—bls metier.” She laughed a bit ruefully. A squirrel darted swiftly across the grass and. turning its head Jauntily to one side, fixed a bright, inquiring eye upon them. Then, with a saucy wave of Its tail, it scurried away. “I have It” said Mowbray, “I bave it! Learn from the squirrel! Light­ ness, airiness, coquettishness! Don’t you see whAt I mean?" And he looked at ber teaslngly. But she was not to be diverted. "I am serious," she assured him. “There’s always a reason for everything, and there must be a reason for this. There’s Alice -Nixon. She’s not so awfully pretty. I heard her say that she bad bad nineteen proposals!" Miss Far­ rar’s voice was touched with awe. Then a skeptical thought seized ber. “Still—she’s from the south!” she add­ ed, and her tone Implied that an allow­ ance should be made for the fact..

There was a palpable pause before Miss Farrar replied. But at last her strslghtforwardness prevailed. “Sometimes ■! shake my head nnd look rather shocked. Then they think that I disapprove of such conversations —think I’m noble, you know’ At othei times I laugh and s*iy, T have never had one!’ in a tone which Implies just tbe reverse.” She finished tills confession and look­ ed at Mowbray out of the corner of her eyes in a way that drove tbe last ves­ tige of fear out of pls mind. This naive woman, the person whose dignity nnd coldness be had stood aloof from hi absolute embarrassment for so long! He could have laughed at the absurdity of It. Why had she never shown him her real self before? "I think 1 shall propose to you." ho remarked deliberately. For a second she looked surprised, and then her eyes danced. “Let It be in your best sty Ip,” she pleaded. “Remember, it's my first, and I fear it may be my last too!” He leaned toward her nnd looked straight Into her eyes. “It will be your last, undoubtedly!" Ills voice was low and teus<*. For a long moment lie looked at her—looked in a way that first made her small care burn and then troubled ber clear gaze which wavered nnd fell. i “I love you, dear," he said simply, “and I think you know the rest. Tell me that you do.” Her checks were hot and her lips trembled. A strong band reached out and took here in a masterful way, and she suddenly knew that something Which she had never even dreamed — was true. . “But I asked you!” she moaned when at last she recovered something of her wonted serenity. “I positively asked you!” “You encouraged me,” he corrected, “and that’s what usually do, only your method was brutally direct." It was.when she began to flush.again that he added, “I shall always have something to tease you about, dearest.” And the squirrel, which had been watching them in the lingering hope that they might possibly have brought him nuts, like sensible people, gave up In disgust and scurried away.

BATTERIES REMAIN SILENT RuMisns Refuse to Exchange Shots, Believing That the Enemy Simply Sought to Ascertain Position of Forts anb v'allber of Their Guns. Vladivostok, March 7.—A fleet of Japanese battleships and two cruisers appeared off this place at 1:25 o'clock Sunday afternoon and bom­ barded the town and shore batteries for fifty-five, minutes. The fleet approached from the di­ rection of Aakold island, at the east entrance to Usuri bay, about thirtytwo miles southeast of Vladivostok. Entering Usuri bay the enemy form­ ed in line of battle, but did not ap. proach to a closer range than a mile and one-third. They directed their fire against the shore batteries and the town, but no damage resulted, as most of the 200 lyddite shells failed to burst. Batteries Are Silent. The Russian batteries, commanded by Gens. Veronetz and Artamonoff. did not reply, awaiting a closer ap­ proach of the enemy. The Japanese flre ceased at 2:20 p. m. and the enemy retired in the di­ rection of Askold island. Simultan­ eously two torpedo boat destroyers ap­ peared near Askold island and two more near Cape Maldel. The Japanese ships were covered with ice. The attack resulted in no loss to the Russians, but cost the enemy 200.000 rubies ($100,000) in ammunition. Most of the projectiles were six and twelve inch shells. The population of Vladivostok was warned in the morning of the presence oa the horizon of a hostile fleet and the prospect of attack during the day. but It remained tranquil. five CONCEAL LOSSES. First Reports Deny Fatalities, Ibut Later Ones Admit Five Deaths. St. Petersburg. March 7.—First dis­ patches from Vladivostok denied any losses to the Russian forces from the Japanese bombardment. L-ater in the evening It wgs admitted that perhaps a few Chinamen had been hit. Later at night private dispatches were received to the effect that five Russians were killed, four sailors and the wife of an engineer. It is apparent that the Japanese were afraid to risk exposing their ships to the plunging flte of the land batteries and it is considered proba­ ble here that the attack was really for the purpose of drawing the fire of the Russian forts, compelling the Russians to disclose the position and caliber of their guns, ^nd also for the purpose of ascertaining whether the Russian squadron ia in port. Japanese Plan Faile. If this was the object of the Jap­ anese it Is believed to have failed signally, as the batteries did not fire a shot, and if the squadron is in port It could not be seen from the Jap­ anese position in the bay of Usuri on account of the high land which rises from tbe voast on that side, ob­ structing the view of the harbor. A communication from Viceroy Alexieff to the cur from Mukden • «ay>: "I most humbly Inform your majesty that the commandant at the fortress at Vladivostok reports that at 8:50 Sunday morning seven vessels were sighted south of Askold island. At $:45 they were seen to be warships making for Askold island. . "About noon the enemy’s squadron was . midway between the coast and Askold Island; making for Usuri bay. They were out of reach of the shore batteries. At 1:30 the enemy opeied fire. Two vessels in the squadron were probably the’ first class cruisers Idzum and Yakumo, but the names of the other vessels are unknown."

Washington Letter. Washington, D. C., March 5, 1904. There is considerable excitement at tbe capitol. The Mormon drama is on. Reed Smoot senator, site serenely in tbe center of the stage. Joseph F. Smith, late patriarch and apostle and dow first president of the “Church of . Jesus Christ of Lauer Day Sainte” and nephew «f that Joseph Smith who found the “Urim ^nd Tbummim” the stone BpocUbde.% on a hillside in western New York—is the chief defender of the Mormon senator. It will be remembored Ibu two year, ago President Baoeeveit wrote to republican leaden, in Utah and asked them not to seed Smooc io Waahin^tou—a strange and unwarrantable interference with tbe political affair, of a alate. They neat Mm, notwithstanding, ind here he la on trial for bis right tn his seat, the contention of the Gentile women and . ,.**her ••reformer," who oppose him beleg that he waa elected by the church and not by tbe stata. Seventeen witnesses have been brought from Ut,b by go». rnineot sub­ poena. and four whocould not be found, • are being teamed up. Tlsoae present re aetvo neves mow a mile for traveling •rpetwes and «3 a dcy for board—a nice all told. One ot tbe mon brought ' to pay aa a witness, has « good retain­ ing fea m an attorney in the case. Smoot’s examination is held In an an­ tique committee room, with aoetilng of groined arches and foliatlouB, walled with books, aud documents, and a broad mahogany table running down the mid­ dle. At one end of the table sits Presi­ don*. Smith, tbe (head of tbe church and star witness, who was an apostle before rising to his present dignity— gray bair, gray eyes, gray beard, flow­ ing down both aides of his chin, a tall, vigorous and emphatic man with urbane manners and benevolent face. Around him are hb lawyers and behind him Senator Smoot with a conspicuous black moustache and dark brown bair brushed back from a square forehead. At the other end of tbe table sit Sena­ tor Burrows, chairman, and Senators Hoar, Beveridge, Bailey, Dubois, De­ pew, Procter, Foraker, and McComas. The first four asked the witness a good many questions yesterday. But he was chiefly prodded by the prosecuting law­ yer. Taylor, late congressman from Ohio, an alert, cadaverous, hatebet­ faced man, assisted by Ex-Senator Johp G. Carlisle, for the prosecution. Mr. Smith said in answer to questions that tbe President of tbe Mormon church and all high officials are chosen by revelation from God and endowed with the authority of the holy pre­ cedent. As to , church doctrine, he could speak from inspired knowledge, but in regard to business affairs ne spoke from his best information and was subject to error. Being ask if Mr. Smoot, like himself, receives revela­ tions direct from God, tbe witness an­ swered . affirmatively. He explained that there was much tolerance and lati­ tude allowed; a member might disbe­ lieve and repudiate a revelation, but if he lived a correct life be need not be considered outside the pale of the church. Very few Mormons had more than one wife. He bad often beard prominent Mormons condemn plural marriages. Senator Bailey objected to investigation of the Mormop religion as such, holding that the government had nothing to do with a man’s beliefs. Utah people affirm that Mr. Smith is the father of forty-two children, and he franklj and unhesitatingly cold, the committee that he had five wives and bad eleven children by tbom since the publication of the government mani­ festo forbidding polygamy. When asked why bo violated the law, he said that rather than desert hie wives and abandon his children he was ready to suffer any punishment that might be inflicted upon him. Senator Hoar asked him if he hud married any woman since publication of the manifesto, and he promptly and frankly replied that he bad not and earnestly affirmed, bringing his hand vigorously down upon the table, that □o married Mormon had taken an ad­ ditional wife since tbe publication of that prohibition. This declaration he repeated and reaffirmed, in order, be said, that there should be no further doubt about it. Polygamy had not in­ creased, he declared, since tbe Wood­ ruff manifesto. But Mormons had re­ fused to be so unmanly as to desert their innocent families merely for the purpose of escaping punishment. President Smith's testimony on Thursday and Friday was a veritable sensation, and the women among the auditors (two of them from Utah ns witnesses) leaned forward with breath­ less interest. Though frank and earn­ est, it should be added that tbe witness was not vehement or defiant. His de­ meanor was that of a courteous gentle­ man willing to give Information on a much misunderstood subject. His dig­ nity was impressive. When called up­ on to name, bis wives and number his children and questioned about his di­ vorced wife, he did. not refuse, but showed much sensitiveness and gently protested, saying {Jiat it was very emoarraeaing and most trying to have bls family privacy and domestic affairs in­ truded on and it was especially hard to be required to give information con­ cerning the wives and children of his associates, tbe officials of the-church. “For ” he said, standing upright, and using an emphatic gesture, ulf there is anything on earth that I detest and loathe, It is a spy and an informer.” One of tbe lawyers said “A Mormon maxim, I believe, is “Mind your own business.” The witness nodded assent and said “Yes, that's it.” He proceed­ ed to add that (he church bad nothing to do with the election of Senator Smoot oi* any clyi! officer and the most they had done was orally to give him “Ibave of absence” to come to Wash! ni­ ton if he should be elected. They would have extended the same courtesy to any other applicant. It becomes more Ob­ vious day by day that it is not senator Smoot but Mormonism that is on trial. The question seems to be whether a member of the Utah hierarchy can pos­ sibly be a member of congress. But does it not appear to tbe ordinary American'that the admission of Utah territory to the Union had settled that question? Mr. Smith’s Utah wives telegraph their enthusiastic approval of his course and his testimony. Mor© Riots. Disturbances of strikers are not near­ ly as grave as an individual disorder of the system.

Poosibly. when i think of Helen. I should have more than the dictates of filial affection as a reason for gratitude that ma did not succumb a year ago last winter to pneumonia and the six doctors you insisted oh hav­ ing. As you so succinctly express it, Helen is not getting any the best of It In marrying me. Her pater may not be very much of a financial proposition nnd more of a bottle than a battle scarred warrior, but he can talk about his great-grandfather,'and that’s more than you care to do, I fancy. Blood may not amount to much except in race horses, but when you bp la nee things up. by and large, neither of tbe two families need to take off their Aats to tbe other. I’m glad Helen has a family whose pictures she's not afraid to show, for it sort of evens things up for our money. (I note that I have omitted the “y” before “our,” but you will understand that it be­ longs there.) I gather from your last letter that your curiosity is aroused as to bow I proposed. I did it in person. It hap­ pened at a dance. I told Helen tbe other day that she really paved the way for my proposal, but 1 saw by the look on her face that it would not be safe to pursue the subject, so I turned it off with a Jest. You will Judge. When It came time to dance the cotillon she said she was tired and that, anyway, she knew a better step than any that would be danced. So we went out Into the hallway, and she showed me tbe step, which was on the stairs, and we sat there till the cotillon was over. When we returned to the ballroom she had me guessing as to where I would get tbe engagement ring, for, though love ia blind, it’s not stone blind—not if the stone is a diamond.—From “Let­ ters From a Son to His Self Made Fa­ ther." by Charles Eustace Merriman. The landlady’s husband could take a joke, especially when ft was on me. and at breakfast we became very good friends. He invited me to his club', and we—and the legal limb—spent tbe afternoon there. His face grew big­ ger and Jollier each hour, and finally be became very confidential. Referring^to his own peccadilloes, he made tbe statement that he had the best natured wife in tbe world. I had no reason to controvert this, but he seem­ ed to think that I doubted It and went on to accumulate testimony. "We’ve never had a quarrel yet. though we've been married sixteen years,” be declared. “I’ll bet that no matter what I might <’• when I go home she’d smile througif It all.” This didn’t interest me, but my tegul guardian seemed curious. He even went so fab as to doubt our friend. It wasn’t long before they had patch­ ed up some sort of a wager between them. The husband was to go home to' supper, appear intoxicated, raise n row. break dishes and otherwise generally make an ass of himself. If bla wife kept her temper |t was on the sheriff, and vice versa. Bill—bis name was William Jenks started off ahead. We were to follow at a distance and observe results from the yard. Bill began to totter and sway as he neared the house, nnd presently Mrs. J. ran out of the front gate to meet him. She picked up his hat from the ground, brushed it and put it on and then kissed him; then she guided bls uncertain legs Into tlie bouse. When we reached the window which looked into the parlor we saw Bill sitting on How un Unaeen Garment the floor, howling incohercncies at his Upyet Some Calculation/ wife, who was trying to help him pull off his shoes.

Herbert Paul in tris “History of Mod­ ern England” thus describes LordT’Wmernton: • This “gay, eupeptic son of Belial” was now In his sixty-second year. No English statesman except Walpole and Pitt has passed so large a proportion of his public life, In office. The ratio was forty-nice yean pf office to •. fiftynine of public life. While the Tories were in power he was a Tory. For more than twenty years, from 1807 to 1828, he was secretary of war, or. as we should now say, financial secretary to the war office. During that long period he seldom spoke, and Channing, who spoke for pleasure, complained that “he could not bring that three decker Palmerston Into action.” Lord Palmerston was a man of fashion and a man of pleasure. His bouse was a social center of much importance. But he was als.= pre-eminently a man of af­ fairs who never neglected his business and was always master of his subject When be returned to office under Lord John no man In Europe could be com­ pared with him for'knowledge of for­ eign policy except Metternich and Gui­ zot. He took difficulties as a bold rider takes a still fence, relying on his horse and his luck. Hitherto his luck had been very good, and his horse wan a splendid animal. In 1846 England was undoubtedly tbe first power of the world, as France was the second. Tbe sunfish or beadflsh is fairly com­ mon in the vicinity of Santa Catalina island. Its general appearance is ob­ long and deep, very thin or compress­ ed, cut off (truncate) behind, so there appears to be no tail, a mere rim of movable flesh taking its place, which has a very limited use in the slow loco­ motion of this extraordinary fish. Tbe skin Is hard and coarse, rough, scale­ less and covered with flat spines, the entire skin covered with a thick coat­ ing of slime, which appears to be a world in itself for numerous parasites which prey upon the flsh. This extraordinary fish is one of the few fishes of little or no use to man. “I am of the opinion,” says a natu­ ralist. ’ that the hard skin might be utilized. I once learned that the boys of a certain village In Maine were anxious to secure the muscular en­ velope of a specimen caught by mo to use it as rubber. They cut the hard, elastic substance into round shapes and used them for the interior of home­ made baseballs." “Wife beating is unknown among the French, excitable though they are,* says a writer on British manners Im tbe National Review, “and, as every one knows nt home, that pastime is commonly indulged in by opr lower classes at tbe expense of a 2s. fid. Am.

That i® the reason why the proprietors of Dr. Pierce’® Favorite Pre­ scription are willing to offer $500 rewaxu for women who canpot be cured. 8och a remarkable offef is founded on the long record of cures of the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women.

This custom causes a great deal of con­ Hastings Women’s Clnb. fusion and works some detriment to tbe primary pupils who began in Septem­ ber. . For of course the entrance of a new class in April makes it necessary for our primary teacher? to devote some of their time and attention to tbe new comers. This interferes with their doing as thorough work with those children who have been in the grade all the year as is desired. At the same time the new beginners are not able to malce enough progress during Lbe spring months to place them munh in advance of those who enter the follow­ ing September. The result is that all the year through there is confusion in the grading caused by tbe slight dif­ ference in advancement between the April beginners and tbe regular Sep­ tember class. . * With this explanation, and under the sanction of tbe board of education, I am going to request that parents refrain jrom sending their little children until September.

No one should miss Mr. LaMarr in his lat* est and original character, Mrs. Puffy, in the delightful rural comedy “New England Folks.” Miss Anna Eliza Wolfe died last Sat­ urday morning of apoplexy, aged about 75 years. Seven years ago she 'had a slight attack of paralysis and has never ' been in good health since. Miss Wolfe was born in New York state and came, . with her parents to Michigan when a small child. Her home was in Battle Creek for a number of years where she’ conducted a millinery business. About thirty-five years ago she came to Hast- t ings and kept a millinery store until 1875 since which time she has lived in X retirement. She leaves two sisters ' . and a brother in Howard City, Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Thomas Quick and Mr. Otto Wolfe. The funeral services were , held at the home on Jefferson street Tuesday forenoon, Rev.

An elaborate four course dinner was served at 6:00 o’clock, covers being laid for eight. The table was decorated with* a long • mirror banked heavily with American Beauties and in the center was a tower vase of roses. Glass candelabra and pink candles illuminated tbe whole scene which was beautiful enough for • . the fairest of brides. The favor* were clusters of decorated pink hearts.

Christianity in Japan An estimate of the progress of Chris­ tianity in Japan as made by a German missionary who has long lived in that country, contains points of considerable • interest. T/ic actual number of Jap­ anese Christians is by no means Urge. In HX)2 it was estimated at 129,154, of whom 46, 654'were Protestants of varl. ou's denominations, 26,680 were Greek (Russian) Orthodox, and 55,854 were Roman Catholics. Adding to these the children not included in Protestant re­ ports, tbe whole number may be reck­ oned at about 200,000 in a population of 45,000,000. The rate of increase ap­ pears to be about 4.5 per cent, per an­ . num, while the population grows at the rate of only 1 5 percent. We gather, , - however, that nearly all the Christian f churches are really missionary estab­ . lishmeuts. in which tbe native Christ­ ians have taken, thus far, ouly a sub­ ordinate place and share in the direc­ ' Uon of the missionary work. If the ed­ ucation of the Japanese in tbe arts of civilization had been conducted in that manner, the nation would not have sprung, almost within a single genera­ tion, to its present position of power and dignity; and we have faith to be­ lieve that, when the propagation of the gospel shall have been committed in go?d faith to the Japanese converts themselves, the world may again be -astonished at the spectacle of Christian nation born in a day. Meanwhile tbe gains of Christianity are much greater than the number of its adherents indi­ cates. For many of the most promi­ nent public men of the empire are E . Christians, and their Influence is both wide and deep, so that tbe very lan­ guage represents an absorbtion of Christian ideas which has been going . on almost unobserved, and therefore most surely.—Church Standard.

Events are apparently so shaping themselves that all the democratic party will have to do is to sit still and make the best use of whatever comes its way. The post office scandal has now assumed such gigantic proportions that it overtops everything else, hud there is a prospect of a bitter war be­ tween the legislative and executive branches of the government. Either the scandal must beiprobed to the bot­ tom or the party in power will rest un­ der the charge of being afraid to let the whole truth be known. The lid blew off in. the house of representatives on tbe 10th inst., when members bad had time to examine the socalled Bris­ tow report, which charged no less than 159 gentlemen of the house with irreg­ ularities and violations of law. The gist of the matter is that members of congress have been flooding the post office department with applications for increase of rents for post-office build­ ings, for increase of salaries and for more clerks. The now indicted Beav­ er* was the man who took these matters in hand, and obliged the congressmen in many instances by granting their requests. Tbe speaker of the bouse, the old “watch dog a! tbe treasury.” is In the list “of honor,” as it has been designated, and h any members.

Tbe revelations made by the report of the committee on post offices, fell like a thunderbolt out of tbe blue sky, and for several days congressmen were too angry to be on speaking terms with themselves. An attempt was made to let Mr. Bristow down easy by asserting that be did not write tbe re­ port; but that proved to be too thin as he has for months been praised by the administration for doing that’very thing.. He is said to have been too sick to attend to business for a month, but when the president sent for him on tbe 10th last, be was able to get to the white bouse. .

It wm contended by tbe defendants that stockholders In a railroad had a right to mH tbelr stock and tbe Securi­ ties company wm entirely within the law in buying such stock; also that the federal court had no right to dissolve a corporation of a state. AJ1 these con­ tentions, however, were swept aside by the Bupreme sourt, by the broad propo­ sition that tbe federal statute which prohibits (combinations In restraint of interstate commerce Is supreme. The provisions of the federal'constitution giving congress power to regulate com­ merce between the states, it seems by this decision, is broad enough to out­ weigh all other considerations. Evidently tbis dpcision, which by the way, was dissented from by four of tbe justices, must be regarded us of great importance. It greatly strengthens the federal government In dealing with the railroad question and, apparently puts an end to the schemes of .the rail­ road magnates to consolidate competing lines, at least by the methods which were relied upon by Hill and Morgan. It remains to be seen whether the gen­ eral tendency of tbe railroad system to­ wards unification will be prevented by the interference of the federal govern­ ment THE MIKADO.

Baolllna Prevent. Manning. One of the interesting facts of the j present political situation is the growth of the Hearst boom. Until recently the ambitious plan of Mr. Hearst to capture the democratic nomination for tbe presidency I was not looked upon •eriously by the party Headers or the press. William II. Hearst was a young-journalist, left with un immense property by bls father, tbe manager of four big newspapers of yellowish tenden­ cies. He had done nothing’whatever M a politician or statesman, to bring him into prominent notice. He,was a member of congress but Was not conaplcious in debate, nor in legislation, nor in influence. Hence when this quiet, almost unknown journalist be­ gan bls boom for the presidency, his proposition was looked upon as sheer nonsense. But with great skill and persistent systematic effort, young Hparst has organized a movement that not only ' j cannot be ignored, but is actually liable j to win, or at least dictate tbe action of ‘ tbe national convention. By going at was vice head of the Japanese board his purpose in tbe cool, calculating, of strategy during the Chino-Japanese systematic manner, of a business man who has a great project to put through, PREMIER KATSURA OF JAPAN. ' by sending out bis agents all over tbe Count Katsura Is Japan’s premier country to organize Hearst clubs In a quiet way when there was no political and minister of tbe interior. Soldier as well as statesman, be received bis opposition to be met, by spending Tbe decision of the celebrated mer• ger case by the supreme court, affirm­ ing the opinion of tbe United States circuit court, was banded down Mon­ day. This suit, it will be remembered, wm first brought in tbe United States olreuit court of Minnesota by the government, to prevent tbe merging of the Northern Pacific and Great Nortberrs x-ailro&d companies into u new, consolidated company, to be known as the Northern Securities Company. Of course the object of this consolidawas to form a huge railroad system out of two competing lines, and it was hoped by Hill, Jd organ and the other manipulators to evade the Sherman anti-tmet law by forming a third com­ LAST OF CUSTER’S MEH. mui Not before since the present tension '' began has congress been so stirred to its depths m by tbe report of General L " Bristow implicating one hundred and F fifty-one senators and representatives in illegal practices in connection with the postoffice department. Some of these gentlemen are accused of having violated the law which forbids a mem­ ' ber of congress to rent a building owned by himself to tbe department; others are said to have used their In­ fluence with the department jo secure Illegal increases in salaries of pOet­ ' masters, extra clerk hire, increased rent of buildings, etc. As a congressional election is coming ‘ on it can be imagined bow this report of the fourth assistant postmaster gen­ era! was received by the patriotic statesmen at Washington. A storm of protestation' and aggrieved innocence . swept over the house and Indignant • speeches were made, that of our own William Alden Smith being especially notable. And no wonder they, were in-dlgnant. For tbe effect upon their con­ stituents might be disastrous to their • own political prospects. To be in any way involved in tbe doings of the mal­ odorous postoffice department is not calculated at tbe present time to add to a congressman’s prestige. Hence tbe excitement and dismay produced by Gen. Bristow’s report. It is not likely however that con­ gressmen who have been interesting themselves in securing favors for their constituents in the manner indicated by Gen. Bristow nave been guilty of anything unusual. They no doubt, plenty of precedent tor their conduct. It has long been regarded as one of the duties of congressmen to se­ cure special favors for their constitu­ ents when possible and it is fair to be­ lieve that many a congressman who prides himself upon being a man of in­ tegrity has gone to the post office de­ partment and used al! his influence to • - secure a substantial favor for a constit­ uent, when a strict observance of the law would not permit such favor to be . granted. But Gen. Bristow’s criticisms, to use a mild term, even though they have raised a storm of righteous indignation, should b^ve a good effect. Congress­ men ought to be tbe last people in the world to violate or ignore the laws which they themselves have made. They have evidently been doing this, and the censure which the ‘ assistant postmaster general has used to stir them up so thoroughly Is likely to have the additional effect of stopping the abuse of which he complains. , pany and selling tbe stock of tbe two companies to this new Securftles com­ pany.

He was to die at Palatka, and his body .would be shipped to Mr. Richard Har­ greave at Tallahassee for Interment there. I would be Richard Hargreave. The next morning I left Jacksonville •for Tallahassee, leaving behind my [personality as Mr. Roy Manvers of ^London. Upon reaching my destination I reg­ istered at the principal hotel as Rich­ ard Hargreave of New York and sent off several telegrams signed with that name that the people in the telegraph office might be aware of my Identity. The messages were sent to persons of understanding, who replied to tbe name I gave. Then I found means to .form the acquaintance of the city edi­ tor of the principal local newspaper, a .very agreeable young man possessing . an enthusiasm for sensational news and a nice discrimination In potables. About a week after my arrival in Tallahassee I received a telegram from 'Palatka informing me of tbe death there of Mr. H. Dumont, whose dying ** wish was to be burled in Tallahassee and bls hope that his friend. Mr. Har­ greave, would, if in that city, see to his interment It was signed “John Wood." I exhibited to my friend, the city edltor, that telegram, as also my reply: “Inexpressibly shocked and grieved. Compliance with last wishes a sacred duty. Send medical certificate by mall , and ship body at once. Richard Har-‘ greave." That evening over our juleps- which w my thinking are made quite os well in Tallahassee as in New Orleans—I told the city editor the sad story of my ]>o<>r friend Harry. “He was,” I said, “a charming fellow, of the most lova)4e disposition imaginable and large means, but has never been the same man since the sudden death of the !>eautiful girl be was engaged to mar­ ry four years ago. She was a Tallahas­ see lady, I understand, though he formed her acquaintance at a fashion­ able resort In Virginia. She Is no doubt buried here, and that to why the poor, broken hearted fellow wished that this should be his last resting place also.” My young friend said It was a very affecting story and asked my permls- Jtaa to “write it up,” which I gave .upon the condition that the tody's name •should not be published if discovered. That I did not know it I frankly ad­ mitted. Tbe next morning when the mail got ir I showed to him the certifl- Chere. ‘Cardiac paraly­ published that morning had brought some ladles, and tbe cemetery superin teudent and a health officer were there.

Delaying only to take a cocktail as a substitute for breakfast while I dressed, I responded to the summons and found myself confronted by one of the daln- ( tleet, prettiest little creatures 1 have ever seen. She ran to meet me and. impulsively clutching the lapels of my coat, cried: “Oh, Mr. Manvers, Is it true about Harry My Harry! Can it be possible be is dead?” Tears dimmed her beautiful blue eyes, and the anxie­ ty in her face was painful to see. “I presume," I said very slowly to gain a little time for thinking, “you speak of my poor friend, Harry Du­ । mont?” “Yes," she replied, wiping her eyes. j ‘ Perhaps he has not spoken of me to you, sir, but we were the dearest, clos­ est friends. We—we—were engaged.” I did some very rapid cogitation. There certainly did not seem to be any ground for suspicion, but it is always best to suspect if one doesn't know. “Eternal vigilance is the price of lib­ erty” is my motto and has saved me many a time. I had known a good deal about Harry’s amatory entangle­ ments, but this delectable young wo­ man was a new one to me. And tbe idea of his being “engaged” rather shocked me. Marriage is a risky step for pvery one of us, not only on his own account, os it always must be for every man, but liable to affect others. So I quickly decided It would be better for her to bear whatever weight of woe was coming to her and leave Harry’s affaires us be had fixed them. ‘ I looked her squarely in the eyes, heaved a deep sigh and as sadly as 1 could said: “It is but too true. I per­ sonally saw him buried.” "Oh, are you, sure it was indeed he? Did you . see • dear face cold in death?” — "There can be no doubt about it. I had the glass uncovered and positively identified him, as did others present. He looked very natural.” • “Of what did he die?” "Some affection of the heart 1 still have the doctor's certificate." And taking It from my wallet, 1 showed It to her. She cried over It softly and gave it back. I hate to see a ^woman's tears, and the way she went on broke me all up. I felt like a pirate. But what etoe could I say? Presently she exclaimed: “I must see him once again! K cannot bear to part from him forever Without one last look upon his face. You will help me to do so, will.you There was nothing to which I was less inclined. I did not want any more attention directed to that grave, and I didn’t want to go back there and be Mr. Hargreave again with her at my elbow, and, come to think about it, howlhe deuce did Miss Bell come to seek me for Information? **Oh,” she said innocently, “Harry has often spoken of you to me. Tbe last time I saw him be said you were in Florida, and heaven surely has help­ ed me to find you.” I wished to myself that heaven had not meadled In the matter, but passed that over and said, “And tbe intelli­ gence of his death”— —“and burial In Tallahassee was Id the Richmond and Washington pa se her oat erf As I Lad expected and dreaded, the cemetery superintendent recognized me as Mr. Hargreave, but it seemed to fortunately escape her notice. He made do difficulty about allowing the grave to be opened, but postponed it until tbe next day, as tbe Lour wl* then late. To my great relief, immediately after dinner Miss Bell carried her grief to her room. At least 1 so suppose, as I saw do more of her that evening, though I have since suspected other­ wise. My friend, the city editor, chanced to drop in, was glad to see me, and we had a little mild conviviality. While we were lu the barroom I no­ ticed loafing about the door a tat and ragged darky whose walk and attitudes seemed vaguely familiar. I fancied once that he wished to speak to me, but my editorial companion was In the way, and when 1 thought of him again be had disappeared, driven away by some one, no doubt The next morning 1 accompanied Miss Bell to the cemetery. The super­ intendent was quite ready for us. A couple Of darkles were just raising the coffin to tho plied earth beside the opened grave. Three or four men who had been aimlessly strolling about reading Inscriptions and admiring mon­ uments joined our little group, looking ou curiously. Their presence did not seem likely to be an interference, and I thought it best not to object Miss Bell stood beside me, tightly clutching my right arm. Under my direction the coffin was opened, as upon the former occasion, so as to merely expose the glass. There did not appear to have been the slight­ est change In the handsome face upon which we looked. It was as fresh and naturally colored as if poor Harry bad been alive. Miss Bell bent down, gaz­ ing intently at it, and I fancied, though I could hardly believe my senses, that she was shaking as If with suppressed laughter.

At the same instant a sturdy villain whose name I did not catch un­ dertook to put the bracelets on me. and, though I put up a pretty good fight, he succeeded.

' How the Evil Lurking In k Grab Bm Came Forth From "Loflort From a Mor to HU Btlf From a MoSo Merchant to HU Bon.” : j 1 But somehow I can’t help thinking of old Elder Bllvins of the little New Hampshire town where we used to go summers before you got very rich. You remember the elder—a tali, thin man. with a consdence as highly developed ! as dyspepsia. Well, one Sunday be . preached a mighty powerful sermon on I gambling, and the way he did sock it at the sinners made my young blood run cold. There happened to be sev- ; era! summer visitors in bls congrega- j tion that day, among ’em Colonel Pnr- 1 ter, a big stockbroker of Boston, but that only Inflamed the elder all the more. He declared that the stock mar­ ket was run by the devil in person and that every man who took part in those hideous games of chance was predestinedly and teetotnlly damned. I It was a scorcher, and the deacons congratulated him so heartily after tbe service that he naturally looked for a I fifty dollar raise in his salary, which was just then running more to pota­ toes than hla needs seem to warrant Colonel Porter looked a little hot un­ der the frying, but be didn’t make a fool of himself by going out About the middle of the week the church had a grand fair and sale for the purpose of raising funds to mend t the chimney. There were candy tables, flower tables and knit good* tables, kissing booths, lemonade stands, cider . stands and coffee stands. But the crowds were always around tbe grab bag and the place where tickets were sold for the “grand drawing” of a piece of Rogers statuary representing two old codgers at a heartbreaking game of checkers. Colonel Porter was on hand, as chip­ per as a lark, spending money like a hero and earning the blessings of all the ladies. He kept away from the ; grab bag until he saw Elder ^livins , standing by, and then he nailed up. He I allowed that he wanted the gold ring , that was said to be in tbe bag. and be paid his money and took a draw. He got a birch bark napkin ring tied with a yellow ribbon. “Pshaw, elder,” said the colonel, look­ ing old Bllvine riglit in tbe eye. “this is a hideous game of chance!” The cider blinked a moment as if he were trying to think of something, but be never yipped. “Come on, elder,” said the colonel heartily. “I want that Rogers group the worst way. One of the old bucks looks just like my grandfather used to when grandmother wigged him. I'm willing to gamble good and hard for that group. I’ll take”— “Put up your filthy lucre, sir!” shout­ ed the cider. “The devil doesn't run this church, and there isn’t going to be any drawing!” So saying, he knocked off one of tbe heads of the Rogers group with bis cane, kicked the grab bag down the cellar door, ordered (the crowd to vamoose, put out the lamps and lock­ ed up the vestry. Then he disappeared from public view until the following Sunday, when he -preached bis mem­ orable discourse on the text, “Let him that standetb take heed lest he fall.” And they do say that Colonel Porter put a century run dollar bill into tbe contribution box that day to make up for the loss the fair sustained through his little joke on tbe parson.

Vbo was Harry blacked up, groaned right out loud. She stripped off tbe canvas and an inside cover of oiled silk, exposing a flat wooden box. And in the box were two of the most beau­ tifully engraved steel plates ever made for bank note printing, both heavily coated with wax to shield them from damp. At sight of them she gave a squeal of triumphant joy, scraped off enough of the wax with a thumb nail to be sure of wbat they were and then said to one of the men: ' “They're the real thing—the plates for the new fifty that I've chased clear from Lancaster and caught before they’ve ever been got on a press.

The major is a slabsided, lantern jawed individual who got bls title all right in the war, as his two cork legs prove. He’s a very tall man, and when I ventured to remark on bls unusual height tbe crowd roared and voted that I was elected to “buy.” All strangers buy on this particular proposition. I was told. It seems that Major Jaggins was a regular sawed off before tbe war, and he felt bls lack of height keenly, espe­ cially as be had a soaring mind and had to answer to tbe name of Stumpy.

Now, I belleve oats make one of the finest and best poultry feeds wo can use. as well ' as tbe cheapest I have been feeding them regularly for over twenty years and would not do without them, but do not recommend* feeding them dry. “In summer-time I soek them twen­ ty-four hours,' and in cold weather I,' put them over the fire in the evening long enough to boil and feed them warm the next morning.

They'd all got through their little yarns except one thin faced, quiet chap who sat In a corner and didn't have much to say.

Outward bound from New York, the , vessel was making Cherbourg harbor in a dense fog at 2:30 Sunday morn­ ing. when she crashed on the rocks off Cape la Hague. Fortunately the Hffa was smooth, and when the tide . rose she floated off without assistance and was able to proceed, though with badly damaged bottom and much water in the holds. Crashes Into Troopship. Having landed her passengers at Cherbourg, she started across the channel for Southampton, and had reached a point off Hurst castle when the dim outline of the Assaye, a chartered British troopship, with 500 soldiers on board, loomed up in the mist. Engines were reversed and both ships vainly attempted to stave off the’ impending disaster. The New York's bow crashed into the Afcsaye's starboard bow, tearing a great gap in that vessel. The New York’s bowsprit and figurehead were carried away and the latter was smashed Into fragments. Thele was great excitement on botl’x vessels. The Assaye’* boats were lowered and the troops mustered, but the bulkhead of th? troopship saved her. Soldiers Keep Cool. James Sellers, a passenger on the New York, says that at 1:30 o’clock . Sunday afternoon, while he was at luncheon, there was a grating noise. followed by a tremendous shock. • Every one, he says, ran on deck, and • it was 'ound the New York’s bow was . firmly fixed in the side of the Assaye. Mr. Seilers was close enough to oi*- , serve thj marvelous discipline aboard the troopship. Not a second was lost, and there was no feign of a hurry, ^nd. ' while the boats were being prepared for launching, the soldiers were mus4 fered with the precision of an ordlI nary drill. As the vessels parted," concLnded ’ Mr Sellers, "we saw a gating hole in the Assay? ten feet wide, and stick­ ing on our stem was a [xjrtmanteau • and other portable property.

Tbe very questionable propriety of raising a man who six years ago was a civilian to the highest position in tbe regular army, jumping-him over all other officers who are in line for pro­ motion, has not prevented President* Roosevelt from showing this piece of rank favoritism to Gen.

Starting in as colonel of vol­ unteers he was promoted by President McKinley in rapid succession lobe a brigadier-general of volunteers, a maj­ or-general of volunteers, military gov­ ernor of Cuba, brigadier-general in tbe regular army, and now, by President Roosevelt, to be a major-general in the regular army. x Napoleon Bonaparte with all his gi­ gantic achievements in war did not ad­ vance so rapidly, although bred a sol­ dier and living in a period of constant warfare. Leonard Wood without mili­ tary training, a director of medicine, has been boosted step by step in mili­ tary'rank so rapidly that he has gone from the bottom to the top within six years, and that too without having seen a* much actual service on the battle field as the humblest veteran of the -civil war. Of course this is not saying that Gen­ eral Wood is not a good soldier or that be might not prove s military genius if the chance ever offered. But no one can aver with certainty that he is a grpat soldier. It Is equally impossible 'to say that the youngest lieutenant 1n the regular army, who has just gradu­ ated from West Point, is not destined to be a second Sheridan or Grant. r • Of course the valid objection to Gen­ eral Wood’s promotion lies in the effect which it is likel\*lo produce upon the ” military service. It must prove very' discouraging, very ungrateful to tbe regular officers in the army to see all rules of promotion ruthlessly set aside .j in order to show special favor to one ■ • man, who happens tb be a special friend of two presidents. Tbe favored man may be highly estimable, out this fact does not excuse an injustice to tbe mili itary men who have by many more years of service than General Wood I yarned the promotion which has been given him. It remains to be seen how far this rank favoritism will affect tbe K esprit de corps and the discipline of the regular army. thy upbn him Like all stock gambler* who go into tbe exciting game of buying and sell­ ing options they took their chances, and after raking in a lot of money they lost it- They will go in again and re­ peat the same operations If opportunity offers. Today they will be millionaires and tomorrow bankrupts but somehow the game goes merrily ou, fortunes be­ ing dally made and lost io these deal­ ing* in mere .possibilities of what cot­ ton, or wheat or corn may be worth In, May or June or September. Such dealings as these operations imply do not usually exert much effect upon genuine ihtfustry. Tt is only when some bold^schemdr, like young Leiter, or Sully, actually gets control of the market on some staple, like wheat or cotton that tbe world of actu­ al business suffers. Then it is that the man who bolds the "corner” becomes a menace to the community, disturbing industry and causing distress and loss to millions of his fellowmen. It is this possibility of stock gambling that makes it so great an evil and calls for some'drastic legislation that shall make such conditions impossible. Primary Reform in Grand Rapids. Primary election reform appears to be working well in/Grand Rkpids. The men placed in nomination for city offices this spring are of an unusual high character and their nomination is to be regarded as an expression of the popular will, not the manipulation of a handful of politicians, whichever ticket is elected will consequently have the people of Grand Rapids back of it. It will therefore be a truly representative city government, not a creature and servant of a few political bosses. * There is no reason why a system that is working so well in Kent county should not work equally well in the whole state. 'The experience of Grand Rapids shows that tbe people can be trusted to make their own nominations and affords a strong argument in favor of the primary election system for the whole state. The only thing in tbe way of its general adoption Is tbe hos­ tility of the republican machine poli­ ticians and even this obstacle will have to give way eventually to the growing statement in favor of this reform. Dr. Trask Dead. Last evening about 9:00 o’clock very unexpectedly and suddenly Dr. Reuben S. Trask died of apoplexy at his home, corner of Court and Creek streets. He was down town in the afternoon, going home about 5:00 o’clock- After supper he fixed the furnace fire for tbe night; when he came up from the basement he said be felt sick, and went to his bedroom, passing peacefully away in about an hour. / Dr. Trask was born April4, 1837, in Elmira, N. Y. When sixteen years old he came .to Cassopolis, Mich., and learned the cabinet maker's trade. , He afterwards went to Pennsylvania where be worked at this trade and studied medicine. He was graduated from the Eclectic Medical College, of Pennsyl­ vania and first followed this profession at Leonard Hallow, Po. June 27, 1866, he was married to Miss Lydia M. Perhamus. To them five children were born. Four of these and th© widow,'su/vlve. Tbe children are Dr. Harlan A. Trask, of Colorado Springs, and Llnnie A., Minnie and Don M. of this city. In I860 he moved to Michigan, set­ tling in Maple Grove, this county, where he resided until the fall of 1870 when he went to Croton; in 1876 he moved to Alleyton; in 1880 he moved to’White Cloud where besides practic­ ing medicine he opened a successful drug business. Jie has practiced bis profession in Menominee, Kalkaska, Alpena and Nashville and last summer moved to this city from tbie latter place. In tbe past two years be had invented a succeessul static drier used in x-ray­ machines and within tbe past month had placed it on'the market and was receiving many orders. At home the doctor was a kind hus­ band and father and he bad made many friends here. , In politics he was a democrat. Al­ though for several years he had taken no active part, he had previously been chairman of the Newaygo qounty dem­ ocratic committee, was supervisor three years, president of White Cloud two years, clerk at Croton and in 1880 was nominated for judgd of probate of New­ aygo county. H$ was a member of the I. O. O. F. at White Cloud and tbe funeral will be conducted by that order. Tbe services will take place either Sunday afternoon or Monday,^depending upon tbe time his son arrives from Colorado Springs.

Osborn was made secretary and Jay Hogle, Jason McElwain, L. J. Good­ year and Arthur Brown tellers. Before proceeding farther with the meeting the chairman introduced E. A. Stowe of Grand Rapids, editor of the Michigan Tradesman, whose ability to organize boards of trade Is recognized allover Western Michigan. Mr. Stowe talked about the way organizations were effected, and tbe good they were to municipalities and wound up by say­ ing that 700 manufacturing institutions wanted to leave Chicago because of trouble with labor unions; be said that Graqd Rapids couldn’t get them for they bad unions, but be said be was thankful that tbe seven organizations opposed to labor unions would soon wipe them out and Grand Rapids would be ap open town. In the.course of his remarks he said several times that he didn’t know why he was called here or what he was expected to say. He prob­ ably thought that he was called to or­ ganizes board of trade, but when be found that a new party was to be or­ ganized he didn’t Know what to say, in that direction, as Grand Rapids has no so-called non-partisan parties. Mr. Stowe having finished his ad­ dress the caucus proceeded to nominate the slate ticket in the folio wing man­ ner: For .mayor, C. H.' Osborn presented tbe name of Fred L. Heath, who was nominated on first ballot. C./ H. Thomas then proposed the treasurer be left blank and the caucus endorse A. H. Carvetb. For member of board of review I*.

Luke Waters was then made chair­ man of the city committee. The house was then divided, and P. A. Sheldon presented tbe name of L.’ E. Stauffer for supervisor for the first and fourth wards, and C. H. Osborn was made the nominee for supervisor in the second and third wards. We understand that no declarations of principles were presented, conse­ quently none were adopted, and the citizens’ independent ticket, so named by the caucus, goes into the field with­ out a platform or any outward intima^ tlon by the organizers as to what’it stands for. ’ The men non inated arc good citizens and capable of filling the offices for which they are nominated, but why they allow their names to be connected with an organization, without a plat­ form or a declaration of what they in­ tend to do, Isa mystery we have not yet solved. We leave tbe matter entirely in the hands of tfie voters,, who are able to take care of themselves, we hope. W-e’ll trust them anyway. Be sure you see them while the line is.contpldte.

BATTERY OF SHIPS IS READY Fifteen Vcaaelt, Loat/ed With Stone Are to Be Linked Together With Chaina and Cables and Then Blown* Up by the Crews. London, March 21.—Japan, it is re­ ported, is about to make a sensational attempt to bottle up Port Arthur. Fif­ teen large steamships are being pre­ pared at Sasebo for this new effort. They are loaded with stone and will be linked together with chains and wire cables. They will steam toward Port Arthur In a line, apd If not sunk by Russian guns they will be blown up by their crews. In either event they will block the entrance to the harbor, completely. Japs Make Bold Move. Japan has landeci or attempted to land trbops at Helena bay, half way between Port Arthur and Newchwang and only six miles from the railroad. \ , This news comes from St. Peters­ ? \ burg. It is admitted that the Russian war department was startled by the intelligence. Russian troops are now’ being hur­ ried to Fuchow. twenty-two miles south of Helena bay. to resist the ex­ pected landing. Protect Newchwang. Newahwang is being hurriedly placed in a position of defense, as a Japan­ ese force Is expected to land on the coast west of that city Four Japanese gunboats i h ree cruisers and two transports are reported to have arrived at the mouth of the Liao river helow Newchwang. They landed a party Saturday night, but after reconnoitering the coast line without molestation the Japanese sol­ diers rc-embarked Plans Double Invasion. These movements throw light on the mystery of Japan's campaign. They indicate to military experts here that Japan is planning a double invagion from the Liaotung gulf—one west . of Newchwang and the other on the west coast of the peninsula, between Port Arthur and Newchwang While the latter force Is attacking the rail road, the former, it Is expected, will -Advance on Newchwang and sweep away the small Russian force known ~ to be there. It is a .movement, military experts declare, well calculated to strike ithe Russian flank at two places and )isolate Port Arthur. Expect Battle on Yalu. In ibe meantime the main body the Japanese army Is expected to strike the other flank along the Yalu. 1 A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that 40.000 Russians are drawn up on the Chengcheng river, north of Anju. where an equal number of Japanese are believed to be. The .latter's . movements are closely watched by large bodies of Cossacks and the first land action is expected tn lake place in that neighborhood. Gen. Llnavftch's recent reinforcements are kept secret, Tiniree weeks ago he bad 32,400 men and fifty-four field guns, but it is expected that he will have 140,000 men by the middle of May, when the Japanese forces will be ready to advance against the Rus­ sian right flank. Situation at Port Arthur. There is great discrepancy in tbe va­ rious dispatches regarding conditions at Port Arthur. A Nagasaki dispatch says one of the Russians captured on /March 10, when the torpedo boat Steregustchy was sunk, states . that there is a scarcity of food in Port Ar­ thur due to the squeezing methods of the officers. He declares that the sup­ plies will not support the garrison more than a month. AH are now on abort rations. Repalrirg materials are scarce and wood is used to plug shot holes in the Russian vessels. M II OFtR ■ William H.

RUNS INTO BRITISH TROOPER Floats Off with the Tide, Crosses the English Channel and Collides with Ship in the Fog—Loses Figurehead and Bowsprit Southampton, March 21.—After run­ ning ashore on the French coast, an^ latter colliding with a British troopship in the English channel, the steamer New York is lying in dry dock, pre­ paratory to undergoing repairs. Outward bound from New York, th© vessel was making Cherbourg harbor in a dense fog at 2:30 Sunday morn­ ing. when she crashed on the rocks off Cape la Hague. Fortunately the sea was smooth, and when the tide . rose she floated off without assistance and was able to proceed, though with badly damaged bottom and much water in the holds. Crashes Into Troopship. Having landed her passengers at Cherbourg, she started across the channel for Southampton, and had reached a point off Hurst castle when the dim outline of the Assaye. a chartered British troopship, with 500 soldiers on board, loomed up in the mist. Engines were reversed and both ships vainly attempted to stave off the' Impending disaster. The New York s bow crashed into the Afrsaye's starboard bow, tearing a great gap in that vessel. The New York’s liowsprit and figurehead were carried away and the latter was fimashed into fragments. Thel-c was great excitement on botfi wKsels.

The very questionable propriety of raising a man who six years ago was a civilian to the highest position in the regular army, jumping-him over all other officers who are in line for pro­ motion, has not prevented President Roosevelt from showing this piece of rank favoritism to Gen. Leonard Wood, nor has it prevented the senate from confirming him. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war Dr. Wood was President McKinley’s family phy­ sician. and he owes bis phenomenal ad­ vancement to this one fact. Forthough he had possessed military talents of the highest order he could not have made his rapid rise if he had been a regular soldier. Starting in as colonel bf vol­ unteers he was promoted by President McKinley in rapid succession to be a brigadier-general of volunteers, a maj­ or-general of volunteers, military gov­ ernor of Cuba, brigadier-general in the regular army, and now, by President Roosevelt, to be a major-general in the regular army. Napoleon Bonaparte with all his gi­ gantic achievements in war did not ad­ vance so rapidly, although bred a sol­ dier and living in a period of constant warfare. Leonard Wood without mili­ tary training, a director of medicine, has, been boosted step by step in mili­ tary' rank so rapidly that he has gone from the bottom to the top within six years, and that too without having seen as much actual service on tbe battle field as tbe humblest veteran of the civil war. Of course this is not saying that Gen­ eral Wood is not a good soldier or that be might not prove s military genius if the chance ever offered. But no one can aver with certainty that he is a grpat soldier. It is equally impossible to say that the youngest lieutenant in tbe regular army, who has just gradu­ ated from West Point, is not destined to be a second Sheridan or Grant. Of course the valid objection to Gen­ eral Wood’s promotion lies in the effect which it is likelj^to produce upon the ‘ ' aiilitary service. It must prove very’ discouraging, very ungrateful to tbe regnlar officers in the army to see all rules of promotion ruthlessly set aside in order to show special favor to one man, who happens tb be a special friend of two presidents. Tbe favored man may be highly estimable, out this fact does not excuse an injustice to the miiL itary men who have by many more years of service than General Wood r yarned tbe promotion which has been given him. It remains to be seen how j; far this rank favoritism will affect tbe esprit de corps and the discipline of ■' the regular army. Stock Gambling. , / t H F g?, ' No one can feel any possible syidpathy with the big cotton manipulator, Daniel X Sully of New York, whose failute last Friday threw the cotton market into a frenzy of excitement, and drew down to financial ruin scores of bis fellow speculators' 'This man has been a perfect Napoleon in tbe cotton market. Beginning his manipojatioos on a comparatively - small scale he gradually gained control of the market until for a whole year now be has held a corner on this article of commerce, forcing tbe price up to an abnormal bight, and seriously disturbing one of the most important industries in the j'.woMd. ' • W By his clever operations and shrewd, bold strokes in options he made himself for the’time being a multi-millionaire, a dictator who coolly, and with cruel Mlfisbnees, took an important industry by tbe throat and extorted from it all the value to the world. The unnatural price which he forced upon this staple caused many cotton mills to shut dow n, thereby bringing loss and distress upon both employers and workingmen. No highwayman who robs his hapless vic­ tim at the point of a revolver could do a thing more criminal in its effects than did this “cotton king,” Sully. But there was bound to be an end to such an artificial condition of things, and now that the crash has come and Sully has Jost bis ill gotten millions there ii'oo occasion to imte any sympa­ thy u0bn him and bis fellow gamblers. Like all stock gamblers who go into tbe exciting game of buying and sell­ ing option* they took their chance*,, and after raking In a lot of money they lost IL They will go in again and re­ peat tbe same operations If opportunity offers. Today they will be millionaires and tomorrow bankrupts but somehow the game goes merrily on, fortunes be­ ing daily.made and lost in these deal­ ings in mere possibilities of what cot­ ton, or wheat or corn may be worth in May or June or September. Such dealings as these operations imply do “ y exert much effect iustry. It is only upon gei when some bold^schemer, like young Leiter, or Sully/actually gets control of the market on some staple, like wheat or cotton that tbe world of actu­ al business suffers. Then it is that tbe man who bolds the “corner” becomes a menace to the community, disturbing industry and causing distress and loss to millions of his fellowmen. It is this possibility of stock gambling that makes it so great an evil and calls for some drastic legislation that shall make such conditions impossible. Primary Reform in Grand Rapids. Primary election reform appears to be working well In/Grand Rhpids. The men placed in nomination for city offices this spring are of an unusual high character and their nomination is to be regarded as an expression of the popular will, not the manipulation of a handful of politicians, whichever ticket is elected will consequently have the l>eople of Grund Rapids back of it. It will therefore be a truly representative city government, not a creature and | servant of a few political bosses. " There is no reason why a system that is working so well in Kent county, should not work equally well in the whole state. The experience of Grand Rapids shows that tbe people can be trusted to make their own nominatjbns and affords a strong argument in favor of the primary election system for the whole state. The only thing in the way of its general adoption Is the hos­ tility of the republican machine poli­ ticians and even this obstacle will have to give way eventually to the growing statement in favor of this reform. Dr. Trask Dead. Last evening about 0:00 o'clock very unexpectedly and suddenly Dr. Reuben S. Trask died of apoplexy at his home, corner of Court and Creek streets. He was down town in the afternoon, going home about 5:00 o’clock. After supper he fixed the furnace tire for the night: when he came up from lhe basement he said he felt sick, and went to his bedroom, passing peacefully away in about an hour. • Dr. Trask was born April 4, 1837, in Elmira, N. Y. When sixteen years old be came to Cassopolis, Mich., and learned the cabinet maker's trade. , He afterwards wentto Pennsylvania where he worked at this trade and studied medicine. He was graduated from the Eclectic Medical College of Pennsyl­ vania and first followed this profession at Leonard Hallow, Pa. June 27, 1866, he was married to Miss Lydia M. Perhamus. To them live children were born. Four of these and the widow,'survive. The children are Dr. Harlan A. Trask, of Colorado Springs, and Llnnie A., Minnie and Don M. of this city. In 1866 he moved to Michigan, set­ tling in Maple Grove, this county, where he resided until the fall of 1870 when he went to Croton; tn 1876 he moved to Alleytou; in 1880 he moved to'White Cloud where besides practic­ ing medicine he opened a successful drug business. .He has practiced his profession in Menominee, Kalkaska, Alpena and Nashville and last summer moved to this city from the latter place. In tbe past two years be had invented a successsul static drier used in x-ray machines and within tbe past month had placed it on'the market and was receiving many orders. At home the doctor was a kind hus­ band and father and he bad made many friends here. , ’ In politics he was a democrat Al­ though for several years he had taken no active part, he had previously been chairman of the Newaygo county dem­ ocratic committee, was supervisor three years, president of White Cloud two years, clerk at Croton and in 1880 was nominated for judge of probate of New­ aygo county. • He was a member of tbe I. O. O. F. at White Cloud and the funeral will be conducted by that order. The services will take place either Sunday afternoon or Monday,^.depending upon the time his eon arrives from Colorado Springs. t HEW MRW OIKMIZEO CITIZENS INDEPENDENT TICKET IN THE FIELD. . -------' t ’ No Platform Adopted or Declarations • of Principles Presented at the Caucus. Pursuant to call and by 'special In­ vitation a so-called non-partisan city caucus was held at the opera house, with a large attendance, both as par­ ticipators and lookers on, and a city ticket was nominated. Luke Waters was called to preside over the meeting, after which C. H. Osborn was made secretary and Jay Hogle, Jason McElwain, L. J. Good­ year and Arthur Brown tellers. Before proceeding farther with the meeting the chairman introduced E. A. Stowe of Grand Rapids, editor of the Michigan Tradesman, -whose ability to organize boards of trade is recognized allover Western Michigan. Mr. Stowe talked about the way organizations were effected, and the good they were to municipalities and wound up by say­ ing that 700 manufacturing institutions wanted to leave Chicago because of trouble with labor unions; he said that Graqd Rapids couldn’t get them for they bad unions, but he said he was thankful that the seven organizations opposed to labor unions would soon wipe them out and Grand Rapids would be ap open town. In tbe course of his remarks be said several times that he didn’t know why he was called here or what he was expected to say. He prob­ ably thought that he was called to or­ ganizes board of trade, but when be found that a new party was to be or­ ganized he didn’t know what to say, in that direction, as Grand Rapids has no so-called non-partisan parties. Mr. Stowe having finished his ad­ dress the caucus proceeded to nominate the slate ticket in Lhe following man­ ner: For .mayor, C. H.-Osborn presentee! the name of Fred L. Heath, who was nominated on first ballot. C. H. Thomas then proposed the treasurer be left blank and the caucus endorse A. H. Carvetb. For member ot board of review I’. A.' Sheldon presented the name of Luke Waters. It went. • For member of board of education, at large. Rev. H. H. VanAukcn present­ ed the name of J. T. Lombard and it also was placed on tbe ticket. Luke Waters was then made chair­ man of the city committee. The bouse was then divided, and P. A. Sheldon presented tbe name of Lr E. Stauffer for supervisor for the first and fourth wards, und C. H. Osborn was made the nominee for supervisor in the second and third wards. We understand that no declarations of principles were presented, conse-quectly none were adopted, and tbe citizens' independent ticket, so named by the caucus, goes into tbe field with­ out a platform or any outward intima­ tion by the organizers as to what'it stands for. ' The men non inated are good citizens and capable of filling the offices for which they are nominated, but why they allow their names to be connected with an organization, without a plat­ form or a declaration of what they in­ tend to do, is a mystery we have not yet solved. We leave the matt-er entirely in the hands of the voters,, who are able to take care of themselves, we hope. We’ll trust them anyway.

A story which has probably been told before comes from a member of tbe committee of ar­ rangements for a church fair. In her work she bad employed a good natured colored boy. who had fetched and car­ ried for her day and night. He had collected all the potted palms in tbe neighborhood and taken them to the church without mishap. He had borne messages to every member, of the com­ mittee*. Although he had been paid foe the work, his excellent service seemed to demand an additional re­ ward. To combine two good deeds in one the lady called him after all the pa­ trons bad finished supper and told him to eat as much as be could. He obeyed. Ice cream freczere were scraped to the bottom. One pretty maid after anoth­ er brought him tbe'remains of choco­ late cakes. The strawberry boxes were cleaned down to the smallest pink ■talna. Still Bob ate and smiled. Finally,, when there was nothing more to eat. the lady came Into the room and prepared to pay for Bob’s supper. Tbe treasurer made out the check. It amounted to $2.25.

Intricate and difficult process and is withal such a delicate matter that it can only be accomplished by a professional cleaner. ” But it, cleaning — -*x ’if• she --- uonly —— knew ** an oatrich feather is not any mow difficult than cleaning a bit of lace. All there is to it is the knowing bow. >nd that is what I’ll tell you, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Demo­ crat t ’ ■ A suds ot soap aud Ijikewarm water must be prepared, and then-the soiled feather should be dipped into it aud drawn through the hands a few times, as often us necessary, until the feath­ er appears clean. Under no circum­ stances should it be allowed to re­ main in the soapy water, .fust dip It in and then draw it through the hand to squeeze the water and soap from it before dipping it In again. If It Is very dirty it ought to tie washed In two suds: then when the cleaning process is over it must be rinsed through sev­ eral bowls of clear, cool water, the rinsing method being the same’ as tbe cleaning, dipping the feather in tbo water and then drawing it through tbe hand. When It is thoroughly rinsed It must be drawn through the band repeatedly until it is about dry; then It should be placed on^the thigh and slapped with the hand to bring It out fluffy. That Is lhe whole operation. The fluffing of the feather may require n little practice, and It would bo well lo clean a poor feather before taking a more expensive one through this course of home cleaning in order that the neces­ sary dexterity, a thing^that readily comes to one. may be obtained.

Even M. L. Cook says that the elec-' lion of W. F. Hicks to the board of re­ view, instead of his father is evidence • of the people’s unfriendliness, The fallacy of any democratic unfriendli­ ness is evident when it is remembered that the factories were located here un­ der democratic administration and re­ ceived liberal bonuses. Democratic supervisors and boards of review have treated them liberally and in the case of the boot company, when they claimed they were fighting the trusts for cour tracts their assessment was made at a much less amount than they had cash surplus on band, entirely Ignoring the real estate and personal property in­ cluding accounts due them and stock on hand. This does not indicate any un­ friendliness toward the factories. The stock holders of these factories have seen their investments, fneaning in some cases their homes, dwindle in value to less than one-third their face. Not a stock holder of any of these fac­ tories has made complaint of unjust usage except be be drawing a salary and the larger, the salary the louder the cry. Why is this so? Because every cent paid in taxes comes directly from their salaries. There is another side to this question of injustice which they have failod to notice and to which their attention should be called. Not a stuck holder has drawn dividends from these factor­ ies owing lo the policy o^the majority stock holders voting themselves enough salary to use up all earnings that might go for dividends. Certainly no demo­ cratic administration has used the fac tories as unfriendly or unjustly as the majority stock holders have used the minority. It would appear that these parties can not get enough from the city to suit them so they have gone after their own folks as bard as they can. The nomination of W. D. Hayes for mayor insures the friendliest feeliug toward all factories, on the part of democrats. There )s no injustice in­ tended toward any industry. Each and every democrat is as much interested • in dealing fairly and honorably with factories as any citizen can be. Any injustice that may appear under either administration (and it can only come by way of assessments and valuations for purposes of taxation) has^js remedy and a stamp will bring lhe state tax commissioner again to correct it. / 4g 1 Pilgrim Erb. A pretty wedding took place Wednes- . day evening, March 23d at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse M. Erb of Balti- . more, when their daughter Clair, was united in marriage to Morice Pilgrim Jr., by Rev. Bunker of Woodland. The ceremony took place at eight o’clock in the presence of about seventy-five rel­ atives and immediate friends. The parlor was decorated in ferns’, * evergreens and carnations. The bride was radiant in her go1 n of white Per­ sian lawn and carried white carnations. She was attended by her cousin, Miss Fannie Erb of Dean. Montana, who wore pink and carried pink carnations. The groom was attended by the bride’s # brother, I. J Erb After the cere^ mony a delicious supper was served. Many handsome and useful presents were received by the happy couple who are held in high esteem by al! who . know them. The bride is one of Baltimore’s fair daughters, and the groom is a prosper-' ous young farmer of Lacey. They will commence house keeping at once on their farm neal Lacey. The out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. JameslForester, of Bowling Green, Ohio, Miss Bessie Erb, Mrs. Ed. Schu­ mann and Mrs. Chas.

The Lady Maccabees will hold ’ a regular meeting next Wednesday night, April 6th. The residence of Dr. J. C. Lampman was damaged by fire Saturday night, the fire department being called to the place at two different times. In the early evening the chimney burned out and it was thought that the house was on fire. Bnt after careful inspection it was decided that there was no fire ex­ cept in the chimney and so the fire boys went away. About midnight, however, the family were awakened to find the upper part of the bouse fufy of smoke and *thc alarm was again turned in.

ALL tad Railroad ----- The spring frealiets have already done great damage in Michigan and tbe worst may be to come. At Grand r" Rapids about 2,500 houses have been made uninhabitable and sev4jral tbous■ and mm tre out of employment. At Battle? Creek the condition was worse • Saturday at midnight than ever known. | Ionia was without train service for two (days, cab service to the state re­ ! formatory station two miles west t»eIng the only connection with the out­ side world. Telephone service is also demoralized. The Brat state pa pern were received Saturday afternoon. Tbe rising waters came to n standstill at midnight. In the business part of the ' • dty the water crossed Main street and ’ fras knee deep in tbe basement of Carten’s department store and in all cellar8 along the street. It iu claimed that thia fixes the record hack to 1843. Three Rivera reported the worst con­ dition there at midnight ever Iwfon* experienced. Two feet of water was rushing over Hint avonne and still rising. Every cellar along the avenue ' contained from three to five feet of water, and rewid^ntH were going from house to bouse on planks. At Flint tbe Durimt-Dort carriage factory, one of the largest plants of the kind tn tbe United States, situated on the river bank, has been under­ mined by the .swirling waters, and a portion of it gave way yesterday af­ ternoon. Late Saturday night fears were expressed that the rest of the building would fall a prey to the river ■ before morning. In the Saginaw valley al«o tbe situ ■ tion baa grown worse instead of bet­ ter. The ice in tbe river is solid for many miles, and the water flowing from tbe smaller streams raises the Ice higher and higher until it lifts bridges bodily from their foundations. The loss to bridges and other propertfes In JJay county Is aatlmated M not less than $100,006 At Kalamazoo the river Is reported as falling considerably, but the danger •x is by no means over At Lansing a similar condition exists; the crest of the rise appears tu have |>aiwed, but the water Is still away nbove the marks of previous years. Railroad track conditions are in prac­ tically the Baine state they were Fri­ day. Tbe lose of bridges bns stopped through traffic In almost every dirertkm. and an bridges cannot be replaced in a dav, this delay may last for some titre. ‘ The fact that (be Michigan Central fait moil train going east was six minutes late out of Buchanan about midnight Thursday night saved what would Imvc jirobalfly been a most dis­ astrous wreck. Involving the lives of hundreds of people. It wag a narrow escape, nnd the salvatlou of the ptmWengers was due to the' presence of mind of Conductor W.

George R. Horton, of Fruitridge, announces himself formally ns a can­ didate for the Republican nomination as governor of tin- state. Mr. Horton asks for the suffrages of tbe people on a platform which declares: 1. For a reform of primary elec­ tions. so that the nomination of state official shall lie by direct vote of the people by the Australian ballot sys­ tem. This part of tile reform is more important, he holds, than that abolish­ ing nominating conventions for town ship and county officers. 2. The nd valorem system of taxa tion now employed tor all property in the state should be continued; it has proved itself In practice. 3.

This is an age when money is tbe god of tbe people se it never has been before. Tbe popular measure of suc­ cess i* tbe capacity to make money. The man who acquiree a fortune, it makes little difference how, is a success. The man who dies poor has been a fail­ ure. Tbe great “captain* of industry,” are heldhip as models for our young men, and the whole nation is scram­ bling for more money. Of course such a mad passion for making money breeds indifference to tbe old fashioned ideas of honesty and frugality, and the pdblic servant who has compunctions about accepting pay for his “services” to a bribe-offering corporation, is looked upon with almost open contempt as being too gObd for this world. It Is only when some hon­ est public servant like Folk gets after the bribe takers and reveals their ras­ cality to a scandalized world that any particular punishment is meted out tp these “grafters.” But it cannot be doubted that where one case of corrup­ tion comes to light, a hundred others pass unnoticed and unpunished. And yet it cannot be denied that such a state of corruption as is known to exist in our public life is exceeding­ ly dangerous to our institutions and it must be remedied or we shall'perish as a republic, and if tbe corruption lies in tbe very spirit of money making that has taken possession of the American people, .the remedy must be aimed against this spirit—this idea that * money is the chief end of man. The principle must be inculcated tha’, money is only a means to enable men and women to live on a higher plane of existence and to help others to rise to that plane. Such teaching must be sought in the school, in the church and in the press. These are the only agencies, if there are any anywhere, that can save this republic from the curse of money worship. Under tbe caption, “Enemies of^JJie Republic,” Lincoln Steffins publishes an article in an April magazine, well calculated to bring home to the Ameri­ can people a very disagreeable truth, but one which should be recognized and met if the republic is to endure. Mr. Steffins has been making a study of municipal corruption, as recently exemplified in such cities as Minneapo­ lis, Pittsburg and St. Louis. .Especially in the latter city has he written up the condition of public affairs as brought to lighVby the fearless policy of Joseph W. Folk, the circuit, attorney of St. More Candidates. Louis. As the time draws near for the cam­ He concludes that all efforts to reform municipal corruption are bound to fail, paign to open new candidates for the unless we go deeper.

When tbe voter goes to the polls next Monday he will have to decide be­ tween two tickets, both of which are made up of good citizens. So far as the personnel of the two tickets is con­ cerned he will find little to discriminate between them. He should bear in mind, however, that the democrats come before tbe people with a clear and distinct statement of what their poli­ cies will be if they are placed lnrpower. They are in favor of economy in con­ ducting the city government, but they are also io favor of improving the city in every reasonable way. In the mat­ ter of assessing and taxing property they propose to treat all classes with equity and without favoritism. They believe in a liberal and fair policy towards manufacturing Interests and they are strongly in ta.or of org»n. izing a non-partisan board of trade for the purpose of furthering the interests of Hastings. They also have a definite and equitable plan for raising an im­ provement fund with which to secure more factories. Can any one find any fault with these propositions? is any harm going to be / done to any citizen or corporation in this city by the carrying out of such a policy? Certainly not, and no candid, unprejudiced person will condemn tbe position which the democrats of the city are taking. On the other hand what are we co ex­ pect from the “Independent’ faction Jf their ticket is elected? Thdy have made no statement of policy except such as was contained in a circular letter sent out before they held tbeir caucus. There is no reason for believing that they will be able to accomplish any more for the good of tbe city than a straight out democratic administration will. In fact is there not ground for the assertions that are being made that they will be dominated in tbeir policy by a certain element whose motives are more selfish than public spirited? The Herald does not want to cast any as­ persions on the motives of those demo­ crats who have gone into this move­ ment. It believes that they are actu­ ated by a desire to dn what is best for the community but it also fears that they are being placed in a false posi­ tion and are being made tools of by ccrtain^cunning gentlemen ot tbe repub­ lican party. Another point that tbe voter should consider when weighing the merits of the two tickets is this: The demo­ cratic party of Hastings is a responsi­ ble party—and of course the same equid be said of the republican party if it bad bad the courage to put a ticket in the field—while the non-partisan move­ ment is not.

In a paper read before a Gallia coun­ ty (O.) farmers' institute J. B. Thomp­ son said: *T will undertake to show some of the advantages that the mule has over , the hone. To begin with, the average­ period of serviceof the horse, as given by veterinary authority, is about ten yean, beginning at the age of three, and. although some horses last considerably longer than this, there are quite as many that fail before com­ pleting their thirteenth year. The average, period of service of the mule is nearly or quite twenty-five years. He sometimes begins to fall at twenty years old and in other cases remains as good as ever until nearly thirty. Few of his race are worth much after txmt age. One mule, then, in bis lifetlnSe will ordinarily do the work of more than/two horses at an expense each year from 25 per cent to 30 per cent less in keeping. •‘Another important consideration is that the mule thrives best on dry feed and grain unground. The reverse suits the horse best, a* his feqjl should be all chopped or ground. His diet should be light and moist, and corn Is unques­ tionably injurious to him, especially when he has to bite it from the cob, but corn is the mule’s favorite food, it never appears to have any ill effects upon his system, and nothing is better adapted to his needs than dry hay if it is good and sweet. This Is an Item of some Consequence when the saving of the miller's toll, never lesa than one; eighth, and tbe time and labor of going to mill are all reckoned up. It will make the aggregate difference between the horse’s keeping and that of the mule seldom less than 40 per cent The cost of wintering a mule is computed to be $10 less than that of a horse. This great saving in feed taken in con­ nection with bls readiness to labor, his comparative freedom from disease and the number of years he will work makes tbe calculation largely in favor of the mule as a trusty and valuable servant “Not only is the mule much better adapted than the horse to tbe perform­ ance of tb? labor of the farm, but he does better In drawing heavily loaded wagons on the road and Is especially preferable for the movement of machlnery, aa his movement is much steadier than that of tbe horse. Tbe mule is also much less susceptible to disease, and wften be does fall ill tbe trouble is said to yield much more readily to treatment than with the horse. Another and no less lnq>ortaat fact Is that be is much less liable to bone ailments, such as ringbone, spavin, splint, curb, etc. His eyes are unques­ tionably stronger than the horse’s eyes. Mules seldom lose an eye except by accident "In purchasing a mule the buyer will hardly expect to find a blemish, and if he should be will not hesitate to pur­ chase. as lie would were he buying a horse with the same kind of a blem, Isb. Again, tbe mule is convertible into I canh at any time from birth to old । age, and a dead mule is such 'n rnre ' thing that the question arises. What 1 Incomes of all tbe old mules?" — THE ANGORA GOAT --------------------------------------- -— To the American Angora Goat Breed­ ers' QHHociation much of (he growing popularity of the Angora goat is due. The accompanying illustration pre­ sents an excellent portrait of Mr. John W. Fulton, secretary of the associa­ tion. Tbe hair of the Angora goat may be of three kinds—straight, wavy or in ringlets.

Where a fleece of straight or wavy mo­ hair might weigh two or three pounds and sell for 40 cents a pound, a fleece of tbe ringlet mobair would probably weigh seven or eight pounds and sell for 35 cents a pound. Naturally the latter w<^gLJ>e more profitable, as the two anlmaiswould require practically the same cere and feeding throughout the year. In Turkey many of the goats are of the straight haired type, but it is well known to the trade that the fleeces from Turkey are not nearly so heavy as those from South Africa, where they make a business of breeding for the ringlet fleece.

Kalamazoo, April 1.—In the circuit court Judge Adams has denied the mo­ tion for a dissolution of the injunction restraining the officials of the C., K. 6c S. Railway company, from disposing of the common stock of that company voted last fall. The injunction was granted some time ago to William H. Anderson, president of the Fourth National bank o* Grand Rapids, on a showing that such sale would materi­ ally injure the value of bis holdings in the Kalamazoo <fc Hastings Construc­ tion company, which holds etock tn the railway company sufficient to carry control of the road as long as the new common stock is not issued. The Chicago, Kalamazoo & Saginaw railway was built by the construction company and some time ago, a supreme court order was made that the construc­ tion company's stock in the railroad, given in payment for construction work, should be sold and the construc­ tion company’s affairs wound up. Ac­ cording to Judge Adams Anderso.-. must agree to a postponment of this sale until after the new proposition has been thrashed out in the supreme court. The case is said to involve an attempt of the Pere Marquette to obtain con­ trol of lhe C., K. & S. as a connecting link for its new Chicago-Detroit through line. Auction Sales. R. A.

I>!M> Democracy of State .Schools. f Ln view of the history of the UniverMky of Michigan and otber similar inKUutions in other states, it certainly. ■M not seem possible that the state Universities of the west will ever for any considerable period be treated by ■m states In any but the most liberal H fashion. The Increasing insistence upF an thclr rl£hts by the working classes Er as opposed to the capitalistic class, Is a . I-: ’ fact that makes the future of the state ' universities still more assured. The K'yrealthy man, or even the well-to-do ■' man, will never find it Impossible to K buy for bls children the best traln4 ing that the endowed schools can give, t M there is any meaning in the past in& alstence of the people of the western And middle states upon education, the meaning is that they realise its value L J Democracy has provided good schools * . ’for all. The tendency of the endowed or private school, wherever its fees - are high, m generally they are, is r toward aristocracy and class dlstlncC lion. In the class struggles now every­ th where prominent, the class that has to fight upward will not throw away Its pcongest weapon, equal educational ad­ vantages. The Increased cost of scien, tific methods, now found necessary, F . may, perhaps, cause democracies here ' and there to complain and hesitate. But up to the present the common­ wealths have met this increased cost without serious objection—and have met it liberally. It should not be over­ looked that the large appropriations voted to the necessities of the scientific methods within the last dozen years, have been voted largely by citizens to whom ’scientific methods’ Is little more than a name. Now, however, the boys xand girls who have been educated un­ der the newer regime have begun to take their parts Id the body po’itlc. If their fathers to whom the word ‘educa­ tion* unconsciously suggested the spell­ ing bcok, the arithmetic, the reader, the text-book, and lecture, without a hint of laboratory, have given In taxes the vast sums spent in scientific educa­ tion in these states within the last 20 years, why should we d.strust the younger generation whose schooling lias familiarized 1 t with these expen­ sive items of present day schools?—U. of M.

That the presi­ dent has exercised the lawmaking pow­ er is self evident. Congress has passed a number o’ pension laws. When It has ‘meant service and age to give a claim to a pension, as in the case of veterans of the war of 1812 and of the Mexican war, it has said so distinctly. When it provided in the dependent pension act of 1890 that veterans of the civil war should be pensionable for dis­ ability from any cause, not a single member imagined that the mere chron­ ological fact of reaching the age of sixty-two could ever be held to constl. .. s*jch - . -v -a disability xr__ tuuT —NewYQpjj World. Christianity In Japan. According to the New York Tribune, many of the prominent men of Japan are Christians. To this creed belong one member of the imperial cabinet, two judges of the supreme court, two presidents of the lower house of parlia­ ment, three vice ministers of state—not to mention a host of officials in the low­ er ranks In the present parliament the president and thirteen members in a total membership of 300 are Chris­ tians. Ma the army there are 155 Chris­ tian officers, or three per cent, of all, and the largest battleships are com­ manded by Christians. In Tokio three of the great dally papers have Chris­ tian editors. These illustrations of tolerance and liberality in the matter of religion can hardly be regarded as an indication of a form of paganism to be feared by the nt the world.—Grand Rapids Post. Lesson for Michigan. „„ decline to believe that the peo­ ple of Missouri aee as a whole dishon­ est or that they approve of corruption in office, but the machine ia powerful. In the face of the disclosures of crimes that ran the gamut of offenses against official purity, it has been able to detiend the most distinguished man io the state and there is no doubt that the machine candidate will be nominated and elected. *It hi a lesson to which the people of Michigan should give present heed. Missouri is no more strongly democrat­ ic than Michigan is republican. Its machine is of the same kind as rules In Michigan except ia the definition of its political complexion. The one differ­ ence is that in Missouri the grafters have been caught, but, despite that handicap, the reform element will lose. It is not • pleasant thing to record, but It must be stated that the machine is in a much better position in Michigan than in Missouri and the sparing of a single effort, the relaxing for a minute of the pressure in favor of primary re­ form for state and legislative offices will be an Invitation to disaster. -De­ troit Tribune. it Cough Medicine for Children.

The senate now baa the post office appropriation bill in hand and the house is trying to swing the civil service appropriation bill every night “a day’s march nearer home.” The reading clerk is presenting them item by Item, and contesting the floor as far as the speaker will let him with mem­ bers wno insist upon carrying on an acrimonious partisan debate between sentences. This hesitating progress has continued day by day. On Thurs­ day Senator Gorman spiritedly ar­ raigned the republican party for sins of commission and omission, especially for refusing to investigate the diffusive post office scandal. He insisted that under lax methods corruption had per­ meated every department of the government; that thousands of office­ holders bad snatched boodle merely be­ cause their party had been too long in power and would probably soon be driven from all places of authority. Senator Dolliver, Iowa, “the” republi­ can orator, deprecated the "senseless clamor” which demanded investiga­ tion, and insisted that adequate and ample investigation had already been made and reported by the post office department Itself. There had been enough investigation, he said, and con­ gress ought to go straight on tfith its work. Gov. McCreary, Ky., asked Mr. Dolliver if it was generally considered adequate for a prisoner to sit in judg­ ment on hit own offenses. Senator Patterson, Col., insisted that there had been no investigation whatever in re­ ply to the demand which had been made for one by the commissioners ap­ pointed by the president, himself, and declared that an early adjournment had been decided on to avoid legisla­ tion oot desired by the president. There was to be no tariff revision: no public building bill; no'river and har­ bor bill: no reciprocity: no investigagation of various scandals; no settle­ ment of the Swayne or Smoot cases. Senator Lodge asked him if the nation bad not had prosperity, and when in the past there had ever been such a high tide of prosperity as under the Dingley act. Senator Patterson re­ plied that the country bad had flush times and periods of depression under both parties and al) kinds of legisla­ tion, but he would venture to say that under the so-called free-trade regime of 1846 there was more general thrift and national prosperity than there had been under the administrations of Mc­ Kinley and Roosevelt. Senator Lodge admitted that the worst feature of the so called post office scandal was the fact now revealed that there had been “se­ cret rules” in the department for the benefit of congressmen; it was hoped that the present bill would abolish them. In the house there are premon­ itory spats every day. Williams, dem­ ocratic leader, said the situation bris­ tled with issues for the campaign. The party in power would be held responsi­ ble not merelv for its failure to culti­ vate reciprocal relations with other na­ tions and its refusal to punish grafters or investigate manifest and palpable corruption, and for bankrupting the treasury, but especially for Its refusal to prosecute the coal-carrying-railroad trust and to bring criminal action against the northern securities com­ pany and condign punishment on the promoters of that conspiracy. He add­ ed that the impeachment of Judge Swayne ought to be vigorously carried on or stopped: that it was not dignified or decent to hold a high judicial officer In suspension while his arraigners went home to fix their fences. Although there will probably be no new public building begun or author­ ized this year, the house has provided In the sundry civil bill for a magnifi­ cent addition to the capltol—an exten­ sion of the main body of the building eastward 108 feet so as to bring it out upon the plaza flush with the two wings. This addition will contain sixty-six spacious and sumptuous rooms, half of which will belong to the house and half to the senate. The entire ex­ tension will cost 82,500,000, and will be finished In two years. Leading from the east steps to the rotunda will be a beautiful marble vestibule, 108 feet long, forming a grand entrance to the building. The senate will probably ratify the scheme. The administration indulge., in vo­ ciferous joy over the news from Paris that the Panama title is clear and Co­ lombia has lost her canal suit in the French court, enabling the canal com­ pany to turn over the property to us during the present month. When he read the news Senator Lodge rushed up lo the white house and embraced the president with no more attempt to hide his emotion than two girls show upon the street when confiding to each other their matrimonial prospects. Other visitors gave way, and diplomatically sb rank lie to embrasures of the windows, and slid behind portieres so as to see, not to be witnesses of the two ardent felicitations and transports of nature. Now let us see if Uncle Sam can read his title clear to ditches in the swamp. The numerous understrappers who have risen from shank’s ordinary mare to a gorgeous equipage during the last two or three years will be deeply em­ barrassed by the sundry civil bill, if It goes through the senate unscathed. It provides that all carriages owned by the government shall hereafter bear the painted name of the department which they serve. This will diminish their use as private chariots to some extent, but as it stands, the Identifying names need not be any larger than the type in which this letter is printed, and they may put it on the inside or on the under side. So there are chances of escape. It will oot be denied that the Y. M. C. A. has its share of gall. It has ap plied to be appointed superintendent of all the new army post exchange buildings, with the privilege of intro­ ducing all sorts of religious quarrels into the military service. This is fair­ ly matched by the proposition that the government shall give 70,000,000 acres of irrigated land to the Salvation Army and it millions of money.

No system of weight reduc­ ing seems too troublesome for the over­ plump. no corset arrangement too elaborate or -expensive. It seems to me, - ---- dan - ­ however, that tffe “don-’ts-” are in ger of being neglected for the “dos.” and really the “don’ts” are of rather more Importance. Don’t He In bed late of a morning is an ludlspehaable one. 1 know a girl who almost starves herself for slimness and stays in bed till nearly lunch time, feeling dull and bored and anxious to pass tbe time away rapidly because she does not inkd any breakfast. She won­ ders that her abstinence is not more ef­ fective, but I only wonder that she is not putting on weight still faster than she does. “Early to rise” and not too early to bed.should be the fat. woman’s motto. Another “don’t" of considerable Im­ portance Is “Don’t sit too much.” Con­ stant sitting encourages a peculiarly ungraceful form of stoutness and de­ stroys rtic carriage as well. Any indoor work that can be done In a stand­ Ing position sbonld be done so. and walking should be substituted for driving whenever possible. Stout people often suffer from tender and tired feet. It may be useful to ijote if constant walking and standing develop this trouble that the nightly use of very hot wa­ ter followed by dryness and rubbing with alcohol will take away all tiredness and swelling moat effectively. THE AMERICAN WOMAN. | “The man who contends that a wo­ man cannot keep a secrot displays Ig­ norance of Wall street history,’’ saya James B. Dill, the great corporation lawyer. “Many of the greatest finan­ cial and commercial secrets of the day are intrusted to women who act as private secretaries for well known men, and the confidence is not misplaced. One man of national reputation allows a woman to answer much of bls mail without even showing him the letters. To reach tbe private office of this dig nitary you have first to speak your lit­ tle piece to this woman secretary, and . if you get past her it Is because you have told your story In a straightfor­ ward way. without beating around tbe 1 bush. She is an expert ia reading | character, and tbe man who thinks he I fools her soon appreciates bls mistake. I The American woman Is none the less |I a lady because she adorns a profession , or becomes interested tn commercial i■ affairs. I honor her all the more for jI the splendid example she sets her sister in other lands and for the grace, digI[ uity. purity and faithfulness she con­ I tributes to tbe daily routine."

In school shoes it is absolutely necessary that quality exists. We cannot say too much for our Mastiff line patent leather tips.

He was, in a cold fright when lie resebed tbe house, and the widow 'ddded to it by allowing the bear,to follow him in and'l alt uj> before him and growl and uttow his teeth. Harry bad come courting ns usual, and of course the position was embamuMing for a teouple of minutes. It might have lasted longer but for the presence of mind of the widow. She realised that the bear had dealt her a winning band, and she proceeded to play it for all it was worth. “I am very glad to see you,” she said as she placed a chair for the caller. “I am Widow Jenkins, as perhaps you know. This young lady is my friend. Miss Lee, and the young gentleman there Is your son Harry. ThO bear has introduced himself, but I wish to say on bls behalf that he leaching to make mince meat of you.” “Harry, what are you doing here?" hoarsely demanded the father. “Courting Betty, sir," was the reply. “We are soon to be married, and I was going to tel! you of it in a day or two.’’ “Married to that girl—never! You will remember that I told you’’— The bear reared up and growled om inously, and the squire turned pale and shook in his chair. "You must not talk 80 loud," caution­ ed tbe widow. “Bumbo has got one of ids savage fits on, and I can't hold him. What's the matter with Miss Lee that you don't want Harry to marry her?" "I don’t want him to marry any one just now.’’ “Don't you? Down. Bumbo.' Well, as the two are in love 2nd engaged. I think they will marry, and you will be very silly to Interfere. Don’t move your leg* or Bumbo will ljave tbem.r' “Why don’t vou call off your blamed old bear when you see that he is ready to eat me?’ shaklngly exclaimed the squire a* the sweat broke out on his face.

UMS r OoFjrri<bt, 1WB. by T. 0- McClure fl- Besides owning a farm of a hundred W tores the widow Jenkins was the pos ■ neoaor of a one horned cow, a three H Tsliged sheep and a tame bear. All ■ were curiosities in their way, but the r <-ow and the sheep have nothing to do I. with this story. As the side show men >•' ney. they are thrown in without extra C cost, and it is up to the bear to enter7' tfita tbe audience. S Besides owning a farm of nearly 200 ? acres, situated about half a mile be­ .. low the widow Jenkins', Squire Davis -. was the proprietor of the only wind­ . mlH for ten mile* around and the fatier of a eon twenty-two years old named Harry. Tbe windmill was a . good thing in its way, but it will be blown out of this story at once nnd I make no reappearance. The squire was a pompous, aggressive sort of a nun who wanted to do all tbe bossing aad have other people do ail the mind­ ing, while the widow was a woman With a mind of her own and didn’t propose to be walked on by anybody. It thus came about that soon after she was left a widow she and tbe squire dashed. No lawsuit followed, but it Wil a bad thing for the cattle and that strayed over the boundary and there was always something Msg to furnish the neighbor* with .The relations between tbe squire and the widow had been strained for three «r four years when two new charac­ ter* came Into the cast. A smart, good leaking girl named Betty Lee came to Mve with the widow, and *be hadn’t been there two week* when Harry Davln saw and fell tn love with her. The Nn had tried to stand neutral in the guarrel, though naturally leaning to­ ward hi* father’s side. Perhaps one reason why be couldn’t be brought to think altogether ill of tbe widow was ♦a account of her bear. She had bought the animal of a stroller who bad been taken sick and shipped to a dis­ tent town. It was a big black bear, fflti of trick* and good nature, and it tod. taken a great Hking to Harry. When the quarrel reached a certain of bitterness be bad to part with tto bear a* well a* the widow. The ration bad lasted two year* or mere when Betty Lee arrived. A ■south later the young man was visitw the widow, the girl and the bear and enjoying each and every occasion, these visit* were unknown to the fathet of course, and he did nbt dis- “Don't you think she would make Harry a good wife?” "I told you I didn’t want— By thun der, are you going to see me eaten alive?’ "Bumbo, spare him a little longer!” appealed the widow. "Now, then. Miss Lee comes of a nice ftjf (iy and is worth >8,000. and she andfj any . are to be married Thanksgiving day—that is, thev were to be, but I have concluded to have tbe ceremony [>erformed thi* evening. Squire Davis,' you are a jus­ tice of the peace." “What! Me marry 'em.”’ be shouted. But tbe bear started in to bug him. aud lie almost fainted away In’his terror. “Tes. Vou will marry them.” quietly replied the widow after a bit. "It will be a neat, nice thing to do. add it will be a good joke on the people who ex­ pect you to make a fool of yourself That’s one side of it. The other side Is that the bear la getting overanxious.” The squire fought against It for u quarter of an hour, but the widow, the l>ear and the girl, aided by occasional up peals from Harry, carried the day. and he stood Up with the bear beside him nnd welded two souls according ‘ law. Then the bride was kissed. . bear chained up. and as th'- ..Hre nib bled bls doughnut and sippt.l bis glass of elder he wan man <n<itigh to admit that be guessed it wu.* all for tbe best— "gsul duru that bear!" I The Shepherd And His Flock From what I have seen for myself the past ten years I have been on tbe range I will admit that 1 have seen a great deabof sleight of hand work go­ ing on Ir. regard to dipping sheep, Bays William Clark of Wyoming. I have seen the Inspectors get out after tbe small sheep owner and make him dip bls sheep, while right alongside of him would be some big outfits with scab, and there was nothing said to them. They could do as they pleased. And I have seen again what a ten dollar bill would do in regard to letting a man cross tbe line between counties when be bad scab and should have been made to dip bls sheep at the nearest dipping point in the county where he ranged bls sheep instead of being al­ lowed to travel thirty-five miles lo the next dipping vat. That is why I am in favor of the federal government tak­ ing tbe thing in hand and dipping the sheep as they ought to be dipped, The illustration gives a picture of Al­ fred Tanner’s famous Shropshire ram, winner at the English royal show. 1903. ’The shepherd who fed the first prise carcass at the late Smithfiel^d show says it was fattened on linseed cake, beans, cut turnips and cut swedes. An English Suffolk breeder reports that in 1892 be bad a ewe which ' brought forth five lambs at a birth and that all were raised with the help of the bottle. A forcible illustration of tbe esteem in which the Hampshire is held In England is contained in tbe announce­ ment that at sales held between July 27 and Aug. 18 of last*year 007 ram lambs and eleven older rafts realized an aggregate of >44.475, or an average of about >69 per bead. The oldest of these lambs were not born until Janu­ ary and many of them in February and March, thus making them only six and seven months old. Is it any wonder English sheep breeders get rich even after paying high rents, taxes, etc. ? Goiter ie becoming annoyingly preva­ lent so much bo that it Is getting to be a source of very great loas. especially to tboee engaged in breeding the bet­ ter classes of sheep, says Professor Thomas Shaw in American Sheep Breeder. Now It Is a fact that this disease Is the outcome of certain cause*, just as surely as every other disease 1« the result of a cause. But unfortunately the ciiun-s (hat lead lo It are not known. Until they are any measures to prevent it can only lxtentative In character. Now why should it be Impossible to detect ihesf' causes? There Is evidently some re­ lation between goiter In the lamb and the condition uf the system In the dam, for tbe lamb nourished by tbe dam until birth is affected by goiter as soon as it is born. ib4 Sketo The following, which is of interest to hog raferts. was read before a recent meeting of the Texas Swine Breeders’ ' association by W. M. Kerr: “The term ‘bog farm’ does not nec­ essarily mean one devoted exclusively to the raising of bogs, but one where that is one of tbe leading sources of profit Tbe arrangement of lots and pastures to the best advantage must depend largely upon tbe condition and environment of each plot or l^ody of land to be used. “The first is fencing, which should include all the cultivated lands. It will not pay to keep hogs on prairie grass lands, but wheat and oat fields will furnish abundant grazing during the winter and spring, while all tbe stul»ble and gathered cornfields may be used during the summer and fall with­ out Injury to either. With sorghuni and alfalfa the grazing may be com­ plete tbe year round. To make a wire hog fence effective it is of vital Im­ portance to keep tbe wire tight. Thib can be done only by bracing so as .to render the fence Immovable or by the use of ratchets in connection with braces. I use ratchets because I find it next to impossible to make the braces absolutely solid. The Hbortcr the tine of fence the greater the necessity of immovable braces or the ratcheting up of the wires. The farm should have enough crow fences to insure the bene­ fit of grazing tbe year around. “The number of lots must be deter­ mined by the number in the herd, Lots inclose farrowing sheds twenty or thirty feet square, where 80wa. If they are not accustomed to lying in the sheds at alght. can be kept « few days before and after farrowing and then be let out Into the pasture ad­ joining to graze and return at will. One of these small Inclosures can be qccu[ded by several sows during n year. I use fencing plank for these small lots, making them four planks high. • “For h feed or watering trough use tbe bottom plank of the fence for tbe back side and two other six inch planks to form the bottom and front. A piece of tbe same material eight­ een inches long, stood on one end. forms the end piece. Nall the second plank of the fence securely to the up­ per end of this latter piece. Bevel oue edge of another piece as long as the trough and nail to the upper edge of same on the outside of the lot.

H«w POPULAR HATRSO OF THE ANIMAL IS OF GREAT ANTIQUITY. tlo«B Lere the L'neoatb aad MJ*ahsfrea Creatare Playa Small Part—The Belief la Toad Stoaea. The unfortunate toad has from time immemorial been an object of distrust and aversion, especially among the common people. A pleasing tale runs that a gentleman, walking along a country lane, came suddenly upon u village boy belaboring the crushed body of a toad with a heavy stick aud exclaiming at each blow, "I’ll larn ’e to be a toad!” whereat the indignant newcomer, seizing the miscreant by his collar, vigorously applied a cane to his legs, remarking, “I’ll tarn you to be a boy!” The popular hatred of the toad, indeed, ta of such antiquity and ta still so general as to seem in­ eradicable. That the creature is not dangerously poisonous it is hopeless to attempt to convince the ordinary rustic. Doubtless this belief has its origin in the acrid secretion which the toad has the power of emitting tfhen disturbed or annoyed unduly and which will cause a dog that has in­ cautiously picked up a toad to foam at the mouth. Again, the uncouth ap­ pearance of the creature has had much to do with the feeling of repulsion with which it has always beeu regard­ ed. “Squat like a toad” is the phrase by which Milton describes the evil one essaying to reach the ear of Eve. Superstition, in truth, has laid a firm hold on the toad’s misshapen figure. The belief, not only In the existence of "toad stones,” but in their efficacy as a sovereign remedy for certain ills, which is still common in parts of the country, is of very ancient date. "There is to be found In the heads of old and great toads," says Fenton, writing In 1581), "a stone they call l>orax, or stolon, which, being used as rings, gives forewarning of venom." In the Londesborougb collection is a silver ring of the fifteenth century ta which one of these toad stones ta set. They were supposed always to l>ear on their surface a figure resembling a toad, being somewhat similar trinkets, one may Imagine, to tbe scarabteus ornament of the Egyptians. Another early writer remarks, “A toad stone called 'crepandia,' touching any part envenomed by the bite of rat, wasp, spider or other venomous beast, ceases the pain and swelling thereof.” It was lielleved that when brought near to poison the stone sweated and chang­ ed color, thus conveying to its wear­ ers a timely warning of danger. It is to these peculiar amulets that Shakespeare is supposed to refer in "As You IJke It." Sweet are the uaea of adversity. Which. ’.Ike the toad, ugly and venomous. Wears yet a precious jewel in his head. Is it not probable, however, that the poet, being a poet, is here alluding to the eye of the toad, an object, as all who are really familiar with the ap­ pearance of this humble bntrnebtan will agree, than which there are 'few more beautiful in nature? Perhaps the most familiar superatilion hi regard to toads is that, still rife, which supposes them capable of exist ing for au Indefinite period in tbe intorlor of rocks, stones or hermetically sealed cavities. Numberless "authen­ tic instances" of this remarkable pow­ er have beeu brought forward from time to time. The following exam­ ple from an old book Is typical: 1703 Mr George WLinen, a mason, met with a toad. wA'he wantonly iiutnured in a stob« wall that be was then building. In the middle of tbe wall be made a close cel) of lime and stone, just tit for the magnitude of its body and seemingly so plastered as to prevent the admission of air. In 1800. sixteen years afterward, |t was found necessary to open a gap in this wall for a passage of carts, when the poor creature was found alive in Its strong­ bold. It seemed at first in n very tor­ pid state, but it soon recovered anima­ tion and activity and, as If sensible of the blessings of freedom, made Its way to a collection of stones and disappear­ ed." It Is known that loads can exist for a long time without food, and it is generally believed that they live to a great age, and doubtless these two pe­ culiarities have bad much to do with the superstition in regard to their sup­ posed penchant for a hermit’s life. Tbe fallacy, however,, was completely ex­ jiosetf by Dean Buckland," father of Frank Buckland, the great naturalist, who went to the trouble of testing the truth of the theory by an exhaustive series of experiments. It need only be remarked that none of his victims sur vlved the incarceration. In legendary as ta superstitious lore lut toad LVUU plays MV .v may tbe no small part. It not be generally known that the fleurde-lls of France was originally in shape a toad. Thus at least runs the tale. Clovis, king of’France, bore on his ban­ ner tbe device of three toads, or “boles," as they were called In old French. His baptism gave great umbrage to the Arl­ ans, who rebelled and assembled a large host against him under King Candat. Clovis while on bls way to meet tbe heretics was granted a vision, wherein be saw in the heavens his de­ vice of three toads miraculously chang­ ed Into three lilies "or’’ on a banner Algy—I say, my deah Miss Ethel, "azur."

An ex-bank official said that during tils career in the banking business he had known more than one employee of a bank to get into trouble on ac­ । count of carelessness in handling tooney. . ' One collector, who wap a light heart­ ed fellow, was going along the street to high water season flipping up a twenty* dollar piece with his thumb and finger and catching it as it came down. Finally It slipped and fell | through a grating on the sidewalk Into about two feet of wafer. He made some efforts to^recover It, but finally decided to wait till the water was ■ gone, and then it was found that the soln was also gone. Another time the lame fellow was coming up tbe street with $10,000 in twenty dollar pieces on his shoulder, In some way he lost his hold on the sack, and in striking the sidewalk It burst, and the coins rolled In all directions. A number of people rushed to his assistance, but he described a large circle around tbe sack and, waving bls arms wildly, or­ dered everybody to “stand back." He recovered most of the coin, but decided to get out of the banking business. Another time a Chinaman came Into the bank and deposited $200 and took a certificate of deposit The clerk who made out the certificate was pre­ occupied and wrote $2,000 on it and on tbe stub. When he made up his cash at night he was $1,800 short He knew where the mistake was and tried to hunt up the Chinaman; but al­ though he got a clew, he could never find him, and he remained $1,800 short on tbe books. He had a notice of the dale of the certificate, amount, etc., pasted in his desk and was always on the lookout to catch the certificate as ft came in. Just a year from tije day the deposit was made tbe Chinaman walked Into the bank and presented the certificate to be cashed. When asked how much be wanted be said all—$200. He had never noticed the mistake In the amount of tbe certifi­ cate, and be has never found It out. and the clerk suffered the worry of be­ ing short In his mind for a whole year all for nothing.—Portland Oregonian WISDOM OF NOVELISTS.

Speaking of unpleasant surprises. an Englishman told of the one Jonathan Ilochell got uj>on bls deathbed: "Jonathan, feeling that lhe end was near, gave a few words of parting ad­ vice to his young wife. He had a bach­ elor friend named Howard, a steady fellow, and the thought came to bls mind as be was concluding his farewell talk that if Kate, after he was gone, would marry Howard it would be a good thing. He told her this. “ ‘Kate, woman,' he said, 'it would please me dearly if ye was to promise to take up wi’ Howard when I'm gone.' “ 'Don’t ye worry about that. Jonty,' says Kate iu a soothing way. 'Me and Howard have .already settled It betwlxt us!’ ” KENOVATINO OU < More Attractive. J A simple and inexpensive method ( renovating an old screen ia to covao with heavy wall paper, either a | paper of data ask or sateen-Uke aw or one. showing a large floral pal says the Pittaburg Press. The proceeding ia to measure a fold o screen with great accuracy and then: with very sharp scissors to cut the paper to fit exactly Inside the butrounding frame, which incloses the 1 cloth of the previous covering. Have to readiness some thin glue, ’1 .' and with this quickly brush over the 1 a] edges of your paper. An inch or two ia < sufficient. If too much glue is applied m JI it .will cause the paper to cockle. Ap- '■ ply the strip deftly to the screen, and with a soft, clean cloth press it firinly*/^ Into contact. Proceed in like manner frith each fold, laying the screen fiat ' npon a large table for greater ease In working. i Sometimes the edges do not require ■ any kind of finish, but when thia / seems desirable a narrow border of gold Japanese leather paper or round brass headed nails serves tbe purpose 3 admirably. It is quite easy to obtain a richer effect by employing one of the. beautiful Japanese leather papers which are now to be had in all sorts cf '.<] different designs and at almost any price. These are applied In exactly the same manner. A screen of plain paper may in sev. eral different ways be rendered mere ornamental. One method is to mount a good sized photograph in bromide or’ platinotype on each flap near the top. Or if desired more than one print may be employed, these being arrahE(Rr~ symmetrically against a paper of suit­ able tone. This plan appeals specialty to the photographer. Another pretty way of rendering a plain screen more attractive Is to hang upon it any small miniatures, pictures, bas-reliefs, bits of sliver, medals, coins and so on. Not only does this serve to turn the screen into a feature in It­ self, but It Is an Ideal way of display­ ing little objeta d’art of this kind. How to Clean CblncbtUa. Chinchilla is a becoming fur, but has a way of taking on a ghastly yellow tinge when soiled. When this happens It can be cleaned by this method: Take a bag of fine sea sand, sift it well to eliminate al) grit or gravel and then rub It vigorously through tbe fuy. When shaken out tbe fur will be found to have regained all its freshness and that at tbe cost of a very little labor and no expense. To cover paper bound books take two pieces of cardboard, a tiny bit lar­ ger than the book. Paste fly leaves at the front and back to the cardboard, which of course Is outside. Then take a strip of strong cotton cloth, paste it down back of the book, have It wide so It will cover about one inch of each piece of cardboard, then joining thb two pieces together. Now put a cover of brown paper over all, pasting se­ curely. and your decorated cover goes over this. The b<x>ks may be covered with decorated silk, pique or duck if you paint or embroider, but the sim­ plest way is to cover with tissue paper (not crape). Paste a pretty card on the front and after cutting title and au­ thor's name from old cover arrange them prettily on the new one.

Petropavlovsk Struck Mine While Going Out to Meet Japanese Fleet. . The Russian fleet at Port Arthur has sustained another severe loss. Yesterday morning the first-class battleship Petropavlovsk while going out of the harbor to meet the Japanese fleet struck a mine in the outer roadstead, heeled over, turned turtle and sank with about 800 men on board. Among those lost was Vice-Admiral Makaroff, who was in command of the Russian Pacific fleet. About twenty were saved. Another report from Che Foo through Rome says that the Petropavlovsk was sunk by Japanese torpedo boats and that the Russian fleet was more or less damaged. Twenty-Nine Killed on Battleship Missouri. A terrible accident occurred on the new battleship Missouri yesterday about noon while engaged in taiget practice with the Texas and Brooklyn at a range of about fifteen miles distant from the naval station at Pensacola, resultiug in the loss of 29 lives.

Blue grass is a native of the Wabash valley, in Indiana. It was found by William Henry Harrison’s troops during that solemn march to Tippecanoe iu 1811. Harrison gathered u small army at Ohio Falls and started north. At Vin­ cennes the gallant heroes realized that They 'could not go 2u0 Inlles up the .^Wabash without feed for their horses. General Harrison had two cribs of corn nt Terre Haute aud persuaded the men to go on. As'they came on with hungry horses and scant feed they found the ground covered with blue grass. ./ “Six miles west of Newport, on the Collett farm, was found a bountiful supply of blue grass. Some places in the bottom it was growing three feet high, and such feed had never been heard of by the Kentucky soldier.. At . State Line City more blue grass was found, and from there to Tippecanoe tbe whole line of march was covert*’ with blue grass. “The seed was carried back to Ken­ tucky and sown there, but they could not make it thrive alone in the warm soil, and it had to be sown with oats and rye. Mr. Sandusky told me In an early day that no blue grass grew in Kentucky until after it was imported from Indiana. Tom Downing of Terre Haute was on ardent admirer of Hen­ ry Clay and once went to visit him at his home near Ashland Ky. After seeing the line farm well set in blue grass Downing suggested that Mr. Clay let him have some of the seed to take buck to Indiana. *' Torn, don’t make a fool of your self.’ said Clay. "Die grandsire of Kentucky blue grass is growing around your bouse and In the fence corners of your fields: We got the seed from Terre Haute and the mlddie Wabash and after a bard struggle got it to grow here in its present lux­ uriousness.’ ’’—Indianapolis Journal.

He had an elephant once, he Faya, who did all in her power to spoil her young one. She fussed over It and cuddled it up so that when the time came for it to,leave the cage it was simply unmanageable. When one of the men made a bold move toward the baby he was promptly butted in the fstomneb and bowled over in a peculiar way which the youngster had of ex­ pressing his feelings toward those •vhom be disliked. At last by a ruse the mother and son were separated. But there wus no such thing as keep­ ing them apart. The baby rubbed the slain off its forehead and trunk trying to get through tbe l>ara, and both vailed so long and plteodaly that the keeper was obliged to put them to­ gether again. A shy baby camel that passed through the hands of this same trainer refused to look npon tbe world except from its favorite station between Its -.Dotber’s legs. Tbe mother, too, would show her displeasure at any effort to­ ward intimacy by spitting violently at every oar in sight.

Man uses bls eyes equally well and his legs, but how few people cau make their left hands do even half of the things accomplished easily by tbe right.

' HEALTH is the Most Important In buying food-products, several things are to be thought of—i. e., Economy, Results, Easy Handling, Reliability, but the most important is Health. Health means everything. In buying clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc., if the buyer is deceived and gets an imitation the only harm is loss of money. In buy­ ing food-products, if imitations are sup­ plied, there is not only a loss of money, but perhaps an injury to health—which is beyond price. Remember these facts when buying baking powder.

There are a good mnny men who claim allegiance to the Democratic par­ ty, and it would not be eurprisiog if many in its ranks were found with ideas at. variance with a great many . others. The duty of ibe party is to harmonize the immaterial variations of opinion and unite th j holders there­ of into one common organization for ’he gt'neral good of the country. There are many points on which all Democrat* -agree. First, they will 'agree, we believe, that tile best inter­ ests of this country lie in the direction of the defeat of Theodore Roosevelt for president, because Lhe doctrines he has promulgated in many instances, and the lack of obediance to tbe national constitution which he has displayed, are dangerous to the welfare of the na­ tion. Democrats, too, are agreed that i.he tariff fosters trusts, creating mo­ . nopolies which oppress the people, and that tjie high protective policy which the’.civil war seemed for a while to justi­ fy, is at the root of the greatest evils from which we suffer. We know of no democrat who sanctions tbe protection nf giant corporations, and here is the common ground on which all may gath­ er in Lhe coming campaign to wage vig­ orously the con filet in the interests of the people. Lansing Journal A Change is Needed Tbe attention of the country bas oeen called to the necessity for a change. The grant of continuous pow­ er bas been construed by many office­ holding members of the republican party as authority to do as they please, „ by,many as a privilege to steal and by many others as a license to work any sort, of graft that oromlies to be profit­ able. How long do the people want such things to go on? , Are the voters of this country willing to say to their faithless servants that they approve their conduct? Are they willing by giv­ ing them a vote of confidence to en­ courage contempt for honesty in public affairs? W»-‘do not believe it. Repub)ican rascals, big and little, must go. The conscience of the people is aroused and the saving grace, of common sense . and civic righteousness will wrest the _ government from Lhe hands of the un­ . \vonhy—the pilferers, the grafters, tbe cormorants, the dispisers of law. It is ndt ^question of party politics or of partisan advantage. It is a question of saving.the country from increasing ■ evils, which, if permitted to goon un­ restrained. will not only bring it into . disgrace but wreck it by destroying lhe sense of official responsibility. There • mu’t, be rebuke and condemnation, so complete and po-itive and<.unequlvocal that the future will be secure.—Indianapojis Sentinel. * Warren, Ohls. W. C. Rlnearaon, charged with a crime full opportunity to prove bis innocence It sounds good.

Tends to Insure Continued Republi­ can Supremacy. Chairman Jones of the democratic national committee has announced in substance, it is said, that any candi­ date who gets the support of the Bryan democrats will have to prove that he supported Bryan in 1896 and 1900. This Is characteristic Bourbonism and is undoubtedly a faithful portrayal of the sentiments of tbe extreme Bryan crowd, tbe radicals. This statement7 means, if It means anything . that any man who is nominated at St. Louis, if he i» to get the radical support must announce to the country that he swal­ lowed the last two national platforms entire, and is ready co do the same again. This means that this element prefers in any and all events the con­ tinued republican supremacy ft-« gov­ ernmental attalrs to the abandonment of an issue which the American people hare twice refused to vote into the pol­ icy of this nation and which has re­ duced the democracy to the lowest ebb it has reached in a quarter of a cen­ tury. Had the same policy been pur­ sued relative to another great national issue which divided the country,a great section of our country would today be largely in the same frame of mind to­ ward the powers that be at Washing­ ton that it was when the war of the re­ bellion closed. And if the democracy of the nation wishes to continue this sort of internecine strife, that party is certainly unfit to control the policy of the nation and nothing is more certain than that it wlU not control its govern­ mental machinery and direct its na­ tional policy, nor will democracy con­ stitute even an effective minority. The fact is that the extreme radical­ ism of the last two national democratic campaigns which proposes again to en­ force its views upon the party platform at St. Louis or destroy all chance of routing the supposed common enemy, is chiefly responsible for the low es­ tate of the party at the present time through tbe disgust which thousands of good democrats feel for the policy pursued. .‘Mod !l would seem that when the people have twice emphati­ cally said ibey would have none of this radicalism that the issue should be dropped. —Anu Arbor Argus. Must Unite All Factions. - . The American vs. the English System. In England the central idea is to prevent eriuse. In America tbe great plan is to pdojsh crime, and the plan miscarried so often au to make many trials mere farces. A criminal gets but one trial in England. Technicali­ ties of lhe sickening sort, that are well known here; are not tolerated there. There is one trial and no appeal. In matters of criminal jurisprudence , there is no such thing as a higher court and the pardon board consists of one • man. tbe home secretary, who can act jf believes there Is honest cause for action. Consider this, and then re­ . v, member phe criminals in this country < who have escaped justice by wearing . . out tbe'aouru. There are a" thousand • loopholes for escape. The murderer, red-handed, may remain In his cell . uuLil. society has forgotten his crime , before he reaches trial- There are de­ vines ways by the score of delaying jus-ice, and conviction does not always mean execution. Meo talk bravely of liberty and the ■ ^curing for every human being Aj/ers Impure blood always shows somewhere.

April 16. 1004.; After several days’ debate the. bodse' has passed the Philippine bill.' It is ostensibly i o the interest of the Fili­ pinos but raally sacrifices their interest to that of speculators and adventurers wherever there are spoils. It provides for a system of railroads in the archi­ pelago and benovelently donates them to the Filipinos providing they will furnish tbe money to build them and guarantee five per cent dividend on tbe investment. Two months ago in an Interview published in these letters Secretary Taft plumed himself on be­ ing preeminently the friend and cham­ pion of tbe Filipinos. But he has lis­ tened to the siren song of American enterprise whereof administration con­ gressmen chant the chorus and he has concluded to let his Luzon constituents look out for themselves. The Fili­ pinos must pay for their railroads, tel­ egraphs, lighthouses, wharves and custom houses as they pay out of their own pockefs for their schools, with double salaries for all teachers and of­ ficials. and we claim the credit of en­ lightening and civilizing them at our own expense! What » blessed old humbug is tbe the present edition of Uncle Sam. When/the bill passed there w^re half a aozen republicans who said •‘aye” and a great chorus nf demo­ cratic “noes” causing the glass ceiling to ring. Speaker Cannon immediately exclaimed “The ayes have iu-but the noes make tbe most noise.” . Congress seems very much inclined to do the handsome thing by Washing­ ton in the matter of public buildines The absurdity of setting these marble palaces in the quagmire on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue has ut last been made so obvious that tbe stupidest can see it, and it is probable that they will henceforth be given po­ sition on Capitol Hill, Judiciary Square or the high ground between‘that and tbe treasury department. The sundry civil appropriation carrying sixty mil­ lion dollars arrived iu the senate Thursday. The senate, committee modified it after it passed the house by a provision for the erection of a great office building for senators on the square of land northeast diagonally across B street from lhe senate. This will correspond with tbe house office building on B street south. Tor which money has been, already appropriated and the work is now in progress. The friends of General Miles in and out of the war department are some­ what solicitous for his tifficial safetv. Contrary to iheir expectation he made a speech* at the Iroquois banquet at Chi­ cago on Wednesday night in celebra­ tion of Jefferson’s birthday On ac­ count of tbe president’s command of silence it was expected to be rather colorless and commonplace, but it was a demund for’the freedom of Lhe Filipin­ os and a ringing protest against the current imperialism of which the pres­ ident is the head. It is hinted that he has been lying in wait to catch the Ijeutenant-general in some utterance sq patriotic and humane that it could be called an in discretion, furuishing an excuse for arraigning him before a ; court-martial. The excuse would seem to have arrived, for the speech was one of a soldier, orator and patriot accord­ ing to his light. It is rumored that the republicans in • congress may concede to the democrats some sort of in vestigation of post office scandals. If so, it will be of a kind of investigation that does not reveal a sham inquiry conducted by the repub­ licans themselves, and signifying noth­ ing. 7’o have the* racket of a presi­ dential campaign on simultaneously with the racket of u genuine investiga­ tion into corruption in the republican administration would be a little too ifiuch for Mr. Roosevelt to bear.' The horrible dieaster on lhe battle­ ship Missouri the same day as a trag­ edy to the Russian battleship has caused nothing short uf consterdation here, especially In the navy depart­ ment. It suggests tbe necessity of ov­ erhauling not only the management of battleships but the, very plan on which they are built. If these great war ma­ chines prdve to be about the most frangible and perishable of property, what is their aggressive value in ac­ tion likely to be*? I know Capt. Cowles well. He is a kind-hearted and con­ servative man, ordinarily careful and proud of bis position. He is Very large weighing perhaps 300 pound?; is a tem­ perate drinker, and a favorite with bis companions.

Just prior to tbe beginning of hostilities a newspaper correspondent made a snapshot of tbe scene herewith illustrated, in which the Russian troops stationed there “to preserve »order” are shown impressing the Chinese for service in the t-sar's army. It is not probable that they count upon the Chinese as fighting rnen, for the Chinaman Is not very much of a soldier, but the orientate will be of great use in doing camp work, cooking, etc., which otherwtee would have to be done by Russians taken from tbe ranks, so that, after mU, every Chinaman gives Russia an eitra soldier.

During the recent attack of the two divisions of the Yellow sea fleet of the Japanese navy on tbe Russian vessels lying under the guns of the forts at Port Arthur the Russian torts attempted to disable the Japanese vessels by long range practice. They were unsuccessful, but prevented tbe enemy from approaching too close to the shore.

Royal Baking Powder is indispensable in the preparation of the highest quality of food. It imparts that peculiar light­ ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc., and what is more important, renders the food wholesome and agreeable to young and old.

Judge " Parker is a New York man, and, unless be had the solid delegation of his home . state, he could not be a candidate. Therefore, while it is the right thing to instruct New York delegates for ,: Parker, it might be very wrong to in­ ' struct Michigan delegates for him . or any one else. I believe I have been ’’ consistent. I have been for Parker al) along, but have opposed instructions.” Relative to tbe New York platform wificb Mr. Bryan has so strongly con­ demned, Mr. Campau does not think that it will cut much figure at St. 'Louis, but that tbe platform question will be settled at St. Louis. “The first thing to be done,” says Mr. Campau, “is to secure a united party, but we don’t want to pull any body in by tbe ears. I am hopeful and quite certain that we shall have a har­ monious con venion.” , These views, we regret to believe, will not suit Mr. Bryan, who seems bound to object to everything that is done looking towards conciliation with the eastern democracy. But it ought to be realized that Mr. Campau is iu a position to know exactly what he is talking about* He has long been 'recognized as a leader of the Michigan democracy, he Is a member of tbe na­ tional comarttee and chairman of tbe committee of arrangements at the St. Louis convention, and having just re­ turned from New York state where he had.an opportunity of studying the situ­ ation in al) its bearings, he is in a po­ sition -to talk umlerstandingly. Since therefore Mr. Campau is so closely in touch with tbe affairs of the democratic party, not only in Michigan but in the whole country, his convic­ tion that Judge Parker is the coming man is very significant, and his opinion that a united party can be secured by tbe nomination of the man whom the Empire state will present ought to have great Influence with the democracy of Michigan. ' the history of martial valqr than is seen in tbe self devotioh and sacrifice that'is being shown all about us every day- Physicians and nurses expose themselves to deadly contagion in or­ der to save life. Firemen go unhesi­ tatingly into the very jaws of death to save property and rescue thf imperil­ led. Life saving crews stop at nothing to rob tbe storm king of his victims. The engineer sits grimly at His’post and never falters, though death stares him in the face, in/6rder to eave his train. Mr. Ckrnegie believes that to heart­ ily honor such noble deeds will “Lend to counteract tbe materialistic tendencies of the age and give direction and in­ spiration in tbe way of heroic life.” He is no doubt right. But there is an­ other kind of heroism still more valu­ able to the race than physical heroism, as it underlies all nobility of conduct. This of course is moral heroism and it belongs to many obscure and humble lives whose lifelong sacrifices of self­ interest, inclination and cherished am­ bition upon the altar of duty are not heralded iu the daily press nor^recog­ nized in any way'. Such a heroism as this can not be re­ warded by a Carnegie but it is none the less a potent factor in the uplifting of tbe race to a plane of living that will eventually make war almost if not quite impossible and substitute tbe heroism of peace in place of that of war as the highest ideal to which men can aspire. The Objection to Judge Parker Tbe opponents of J udge 1 'arker, both in tbe republican and democratic par­ ties, have but one reason to urge why he should not be nominated: Mr. Bry­ an says the judge has not expressed himself on the issues of the day and Congressman Hepburn, in a speech in the house sneeringly alludes to him as "the sphinx. ” These objections would have more force if the New York candidate did not hold a judicial position which pre­ cludes its holder from active participa­ tion iu partisan politics. It is under­ stood that Judge Parker is actuated by a sense of propriety in declining to dis­ cuss pfirty issues while occupying his present pre-eminently. DOD-partisao.of­ fice. We are told, however, that if nominated for the presidency he will at once express his views dfx>n Lhe sub­ jects at issue in Lhe coming campaign, as of course it would be necessary for him to do. In the meantime it is fair to infer that Judge Parker is in full accord with his party for at least two reasons: First his reputation as a man of scrupulous honor leads to tbe assurance that he would not permit his name to be used in connection with tbe leadership of his party unless be were Id full sympa­ thy with that party, and second, it ia certain that the democratic leaders of New York are well infoimeu as to his views and are entirely satisfied of his orthodoxy.

You show your friends a blank sheet of paper (the room must be light enough to let them see that it is blank). Then you strike a matqh, blow it out and touch the paper with the glowing top of the match." A spark travels over the paper, following a very crooked course, and finally goes If/Ou take on a false attitude—do you believe that intelligent folks ac­ cept your appearance as genuine? They don’t. ‘ Nothing more glaringly reveals itself than the individual effort to attract at­ tention by Deteartean exhibitions. This la as far removed from real grace­ fulness and a gracious appearance aa beauty ia apart from ugliness. If you physically pose, you cannot be accused of deception, although you are guilty of the Intention to deceive. You see. almost everybody detects the premeditated physical pose—so you are to the usual observer but a caricature of the real thing. Gracefulness is an adaptation of ap­ pearances to circumstances, an exqui­ site adaptation of tbe body and the expression of the face to environ­ ment and association and occasion. Sincerity is the spirit’of unconscious grace, and the artistic adaptation is begotten of Individual sincerity in physical and mental culture. Cultivate good manners assiduously. Fetch your physical strength up to a high standard along with a certain tem­ pering of your movements. Refine your manners nnd you’ll unconsciously take on a naturally graceful adaptation of your physical self to scene and cir­ cumstance. — Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. CHILDREN’S TOYS. PICTURES MADE BY FIRE. ' out. Then you open the shutters or turn up the lights, and, behold, you see on the sheet of paper a burnt pic­ ture or design, which has been traced by the spark. . The secret cf the trick is that the pa­ per, though It appears blank, has really had tbe picture drawn on. it before­ hand. It is not drawn with pencil or pen and ink. but with a fine brush, a pen or a pointed stick dipped in a very strong solution of saltpeter. The paper should not be glazed. Thin white wrapping paper Is a good kind. Tbe solution Is colorless and leaves no stain, though the picture is really there, drawn in saltpeter. Now, salt­ peter, which Is also called niter and potassium nitrate, is, .as you may know, one of the Ingredients of gun­ powder, and It is used in making pow­ der for the same reason for which we use it in this trick—because it contains a great deal of oxygen and Is easily „„u Kuupuwu .r exdecomposed.. When gunpowder Iod the from the Mltpeter wlth or bDra the BOlphar combines- with, or burns, tbe sulphur and d>arcoal M no „ DMded from outside. Just so tbe saltpeter makes tbo paper easier to light and burn along tbe lines of the drawing. By the way, these lines should be all connected together. If a part of the picture Is entirely separate from the rest It will be “left out 'in the cold.”* Of course, yon must apply tbe match’ to one of tbo lines, which you can do easily enough by moving It across tbe paper near where you know there are some lines until the spark catches. Korean girls are fond of playing at seesaw. A bag full of sand about a foot in thickness is placed on the ground. Across this ia placed a plank, and stretched alongside at a proper height for tbe children to grasp and steady themselves by It a rope. The young Koreans do not sit down as English or American girls would do, but stand erect on the ends of the plank. One gives an upward spring and aa she alights on the board gives tbe other a skyward toss, who as she alights In turn throws tbe first girl aloft a little higher. And so the sport goes on until in their upward flight each girl Is thrown two or three feet into the air. Frequent rests are necessary, but the pastime Is tbe dccaslon of much merriment. This toy, wh’.ch Is slightly built of thin cane, Japanese paper and elastic, is in the form of a butterfly, part of which serves as a propeller. It is in­ closed In a cardboard envelope, and the directions are as follows: “Hold Flffi by the bottom part of the body in your left band and wind tbe screw forty to fifty times to the right. After­ ward put Flffi in the envelope, and by opening same Flffi will escape.’’ She ~ does and flutters prettily across tbe room like a large, sleepy moth. Little Margie had accompanied her mother on a shopping tour, and when they were about to return home her mother asked, “Shall we walk or take a car, Margie?" “Oh," answered the little miro, “I’d ruzzer walk if ’oo will tarry me.’" WUlle'a Where do you <o when you go to sleep?

She does not tell the children of her scheme. She selects from among tbe mass of toys a number which are to be laid aside tor some future time. ' A large box tn the attic or tbe upper shelf of some closet may be a store­ house for many of these treasures. There they will rest unbarmed until the playthings In tbe nursery become an old story, when they in tbeir turn are relegated to the upper shelf, and the new toys appear. These will be bailed with delight by tbe little ones, by whom they have been forgotten. When the children have been confined to the house by a storm, or, more try­ ing still, to tbe nursery by some ail­ ment that makes life seem dreary to their baby eyes, behold, mamma ap­ pears with her reserve fund, and out of door allurements and indoor ail­ ments are forgotten in the joy of new possessions. about six weeks.

ASF over that amount, when sold, is profit Ducklings are generally kept in tbe heated brooder for from three to five weeks, according to the season or de­ mand for room.

There is nothing to hinder a man from asking a girl for her photograph. Sometimes the man doesn’t make tbe request because he would value tbe picture in any exclusive way. He asks in order to find out if the girl will give it to him, to discover whether she is foolish or wise concerning tbe protec­ tion of her photograph* from common possession. The wise girl doesn’t give her picture to a man unless she is en­ gaged to him or unless he is included in her kindred. It sometimes happens that a man shows a girl’s picture to other men and meantime makes a flip­ pant remark that would rouse her re­ sentment if she might hear the echo. It is best for a girl to take no chances of having her pictures subjected to common gaze and recklessly criticised. Fish salads are good sapper dishes and take the place of cold meat. Use any kind of good white fish, halibut If possible or salmon. Flake it with a silver fork and mix with an equal quantity of chopped celery or white cabbage.

They are rapid growers and mature about as early as the Leghorns. They seldom want to sit, but when they do they make good mothers, nnd as egg producers I have never seen their equal. I have raised poultry and eggs for market for about twenty-five years and have bred about all the different varieties except the games and bantams, and, while I find all of tbe different breeds have some particular good qualities, yet with me, under tbe same conditions, the Rhode Island Whites excel all other breeds. .nd Ralsli I always let a turkey hen sit and raise tbe young, as she has more wis­ dom about turkey raising than any one in the human family. I usually sit two common hens on turkey eggs at the same time as the turkey and give all the poults to the turkey hen. She can raise, a large family as well as a small one’ There are many ways of feeding young turkeys, and usually each one thinks bls way is the best. After experimenting I adopted a course of feeding that has helped me some years to raise nearly every one that hatched. The first feed is hard boiled eggs, chopped shell and all. I feed this two days, then chop dan­ delion leaves with the egg, adding part sour milk curd with a little sharp grit. At night I chop onions instead of the dandelion leaves, giving a little curd at noon. After four dayu the brood Is al­ lowed the run of the orchard, always J cooping at night.

Was So Badly Injured That He Died the Same Afternoon About 5:00 O'clock. . _____ I Frank Adams, brakeman on the C., K. & S. railway, was so badly Injured Saturday afternoon about 2 o’clock while switching, that he died about two hours later. In uncoupling a car which they were “kicking” onto the east siding, he in some way caught his left foot in an unprotected frog which is about thirty feet south of the Green street crossing. The trucks of the car ahead of him passed over him, drag­ ging him some distance. His agonizing screams brought assistance and the train was stopped before the other trucks reached him. When he was taken from under the car be was in a terribly mangled condition. Medical assistance was at once sum­ moned and the injured man was re­ moved to tbe borne of Charles Babcock, where he died about 5:00 o’clock. The left leg was broken below the knee and a gash cut clear to the boce eight or nine Inches’ long. The left arm was broken in a number of places. The right hip was also broken. He sus­ tained internal Injuries as well, hem­ orrhage of the bowels resulting. No inquest was held. The clothes and shoe «how the des­ perate efforts he made to free himself. Above the heel on the left shoe the leather is roughened and the sides and bottom of the sole are marred and scraped as though Adams bad backed into the frog and getting his heel loose had been held by the sole of his shoe. Adams lived in Kalamazoo and bis remains were taken there on the 4:54 train, which was held. He was 24 years । old and had been in the employ of the C-, K. & S. Co. for a little over four years. He is survived by a widow and three-year-old son, a father and mother, three sisters and one brother. The funeral was held Tuesday morn­ ing from the home of his sister, Mrs E. T. Rector, in Kalamazoo and was conducted by the Maccabees of which the deceased was a member. , Besides having a large line of Wall Paper of all grades, from the cheapest to the best, we have most everything needed for your spring work.

CHIDESTER & BURTON See our window LEADING CLOTHIERS --------- Two admirable papers and a “Talk” with music and song formed the liter­ ary part of the last meeting of the Wo­ men's Club, after the business session closed. Mrs. Troxel opened the pro­ gram with a vocal solo “Adios” which was sung very sweetly, to tbe sweet accodjpanimeot played by Miss Gertrude Smith. Mrs. Louise Evarts read a most interesting historical paper upon “The Lewis and Clark Expedition” - as fascinating as any novel, and coming as it did, on the eve of the one hundredth anniversary of the “Louisiana Pur­ chase” it doubled the interest, already aroused by the excellent and carefully worded paper. Mrs. Evarts had as an aid to the proper conception of the im­ mensity of the purchase, a map of it and the surrounding territory, drawn by Mr. George Collins, whose deft fingers produced an almost perfect piece of work. Miss Fay Brown gave an insirumental solo “Forget-Me-Not” waltz by Wil­ helm Meister, and to an encore oblig­ ingly and generously responded with ‘’General Boom Boom March.” Mrs. Phyllis Reynold's paper upon “The Rights of Children” was a most finished pen produciton, unlike, yet equally as well finished a paper as the one that preceded it, and furnishing wholesome food for every thoughtful Tbe last topic on the program, though not the least, was a “Talk” by Mrs. Flora Renkes upon “The Industrial Situation and Its Relation to Women and Children. ” This and kindred sub­ jects are familiar to Mrs. Renkes, and she speaks with earnestness, clearness and fluency. Her words were fitly spoken, ana give-no uncertain sound. There was little left for discussion. The next meeting of the club will be on Friday, May 13th—on the pipgram it is called “Pioneer and Relic Day.” Every member is requested and ex­ pected to bring a relic and tell its his­ tory, also a cup and plate for herself and guest, as light refreshments will be served. Mayor Heath’s Appointments. The following are the new city offi­ cers who were appointed by Mayor Heath and were confirmed by tije coun­ cil Monday evening: City attorney, A. E. Kenaston; city physician, Dr. C. H. Burton; marshal, Fred Phillips; street commissioner, Frank Fifield; chief of tbe fire department, Eugene McMur­ ray. Charles Baker was re-elected superintendent of tbe water works and Frank Nash was elected fire warden. $1.00 A YKAfc Broke Right Leg. Harrison Hilsinger, residing three miles south of the city, met with an ac­ cident Saturday* evening which will lay himmp for some time. He was get­ ting ready to go to the grange hall to attend the play, “Above the Clouds, ” produced by members of the grange, and intended to go horseback. When be attempted to get upon the horse, it shied, throwing him over its back upon tbe ground, breaking his right leg about four inches below the hip. Dr. J. G. MoGufDn was called and with as­ sistance of neighbors, reduced the frac­ ture. Considering Mr. Hilsinger's age, over seventy years, and previous cripfiled condition, the injury is quite seri­ ous. Up to within a few years ago he bad always been a very active person, and now to be compelled to lie upon tbe bed for several weeks comes pretty tough. M. E.

The Only Hope of Relief 5 Under tbe rule of tbe bosses state taxes have been doubled in ten years; the state has been called upon to sup­ port an army of deputies wbo are abroad at public expense controlling caucuses and strengthening tbe power of the machine. There is no question • as to the truth of these statement?. Republicans who are not getting a por­ tion of the graft concede it, and at least one candidate for the governor­ ship charges it in more forcible lan­ guage th^n we have employed. But ’ the rule of tbe machine is to be continned; every sign in the political heavens foretells it; the machine men claim it, and it is true. The only hope of relief from tbe present unbearable conditions is io the election of a detno, crat to the governorship. — Lansing ■ Journal.

MUSCOVITES BEAT A RETREAT Fighting Covers a Period of Five Days,'During Which 1,500 Lives Are Sacrificed—Victorious Army Csptures Many Men and Guns. Tokio, May 2.—The Russians were forced to abandon Antung Sunday. They burned tLe town and retreated to Feng-Huan-Cheng. The Japanese now control the estuary of the Ya’u. The Japanese losses on the ” Yala Bunday were about 700 killed and woundeu. The Russians lost more than 800 men. The Japanese cap. tured 28 quick-firing guns, 20 officers and many men. The Russians made two Ftands. The formal report from General Kuroki covering Sunday’s fighting, previous to the bulletin on the aban­ doning and burning of Antung by the Russians says: Total Lobs Is 1,500 Men. "The Russians mace two stands. The enemy’s strength Included all of the third division, two regiments of the sixth division, one cavalry bri­ gade, about forty quick-firing guns and eight machine guns. We have taken twenty-eight quick-firing guns, many rifles, much ammunition, more than twenty officers and many noncommis­ sioned officers and men as prisoners. "I am informed that Major KaShtallnsky, commander of the Third East Siberian Rifies Brigade, and Lieutenant General Zassalitch. com­ mander of tbe Second Siberian Army Corps, were wounded. Our casualties number about 700 men and the Russtan loss is more than 800 men." Force Russians to Retire. After five days of fighting, largely with artillery, the first Japanese army, under General Kuroki, has forced a crossing of the Yalu river, and Bunday, with a gallant infantry charge covering four miles, it drove the Russians from Chiu Tien Cheng and the heights on tbe right bank of the Iho. or Aida, river, which enters the Yalu from the north almost op­ posite Wiju. The Japanese turned Ae left flank of the Russian position, and in the battle of Sunday they swept away the new front interposed by the Russians to check their * * onw«rd movement. The present position of tbe Japanese is a dominating one. and they *ay force the abandonment of the defenses erected by the Russians at Antung and other points lower down the river. Japanese Seize Islands. General Kuroki began the move­ ment on Tuesday by ordering a de­ tachment of the Imperial guards di­ vision to seize the Island of Kurito, la the Yalu above Wiju, and a detach­ ment of the second division to seize the Island of Kinteito, which is situ­ ated below Wiju. The detachmenL of the imperial guards met with *me resistance, but it succeeded in clearing the enemy out and occupied Kurito Island. The Rus­ sians abandoned the Island of Klntelto when attacked by the detach­ ment of the second division. *■*"' During these movements on the islands the Russians opened fire on the Japanese with eight nine and one­ , half centimeter guns from a hill be­ hind Chiu Tien Cheng and two Hatch­ kiss guns, which were mounted on the bank of the river at Kosan, where the Russians seemed to have established their headquarters. One battery of Japanese artillery, which had taken a position on a hill to the east of Wiju, fired three volleys at Kosan, and at Boon of Tuesday the Russian batteries behind Chiu Tien Cheng shelled Wiju, wounding one Japanese soldier with shrapnel. Russians Bombard. On Wednesday the Russians resum­ ed the bombardment of Wiju, firing at Intervals throughout the day. The Japanese artillery did not respond to this fire. General Kuroki received re­ ports to the effect that the Russians wen-? fortifying the heights on the right bank of the Iho River. These sew defenses are declared to extend - from Chiu Tien Cheng through the village of Mokao to Koshokl, a dis­ tance of three and a quarter miles. The Russians continued their bom-’ bardment on Thursday, but it was generally ineffective. Subsequently General Kuroki ordered two compa­ nies of the imperial guards to cross . the Yalu and meke a reccnnaissance along the left bank of the Iho for the purpose of discovering the charac­ ter of the Russian fortifications. The Japanese force advanced toward Kosan, and then dispatched a small detachment to the village, where a party of Russians was encountered. In the engagement which followed five Russians were killed. The Russians shelled the reconnoitering party from tbe hills. This fire was without effect. The Russian artillery on the Ixina^ behind Chiu Tien Cheat, firing at a high angle,’opened on Wiju and the fariacds of Kurito and Kinteto. This firing continued into Thursday night, a»d General Kuroki reports that while it was ineffective, it disturbed his army was chosen to make the first crossing of, the Yalu. It began Its preparation* on Friday by driving the Russians from their position on the bank of tbe river opposite Sulkochin, which Is eight miles above Wiju and the point selected for the crossing. This division constructed a pontoon bridge over the river, and at J o’clock Saturday morning it began crossing. The entire division passed over the river during the day, and by 6 o’clock Saturday evening it was in the posi­ tion assigned to it for the battle of Sunday. , The movement of the twelfth Japa­ nese divisitPt was covered by the sec­ ond regiment of field artillery and an­ other artillery regiment of heavy guns. Shell Japanese Patrols. Saturday morning the Russian ar­ tillery posted to the north and to the east of Chiu Tien Cheng began shell­ ing the pat. ils of Japanese infantry which had t *en dispatched from Kintelto Island to Chukodal, another Is­ land north of Klntelto and under Chiu Th n Cheng. The Japanese batteries replied and silenced the Russian fire. Later eight Russian guns posted on a hill to the east of the village of Mikao opened upon the Imperial guards. The Japanese artillery again responded and the Russians ceased fir­ ing. Then both the Chiu Tipn Cheng and the Makao batteries reopened, and this fire brought a vigorous response from the chair of Japanese batteries on the Curean side or the river. The Russians’ guns fired for two hours be­ fore they were silenced. Army Crosses River. A bridge across the main stream of the Yalu, -just above Wiju. was com­ pleted at 8 o’clock Saturday night, and the second Japanese division and the Imperial guards be;an crossing. They advanced and occupied the hills back of Kosan, facing the Russian po­ sition on the right bank of the river. Al! through Saturday night regiment after jregiment of Japanese soldiers poured across the bridge, and at a late hour Saturday night General Kuroki telegraphed to the general staff of the army: "i will attack the enemy on May 1 at dawn." True to his promise, General Kuroki at daylight Sunday centered all his artillery on the Russian position be­ tween Chiu Tien Cheng and Yoshoko. To this fire the Russians made reply with all their batteries. Charge Is Ordered. At 7 o'clock tn tbe morning the Rus­ sian battery at Yoshoko was silenced, and a half hour later Gen Kuroki or­ dered bis line stretching for four miles, to attack. The Japanese Infan­ try, on the word of command, charged across the Iho, wading that steam breast deep, and began storming the heights at fifteen minutes past 8. At 9 o'clock they had swept the Russian line back acrodte the pleateau. on canal first year WITHOUT HEff New York Physician Acci­ dentally Makes Important Discovery. REDUCES DANGER IN SURGERY Fluorescent Liquids Are Used to Il­ luminate the Intestines and Make Diagnoses for Internal Ailments a Comparatively Easy Matter. New York, May 2.—Dr. William •James Morton, professor of electro­ therapeutics in the New York Post­ Graduate Hospital, who first an­ nounced that fluorescent liquids, when used in conjunction with radium or Roentgen \^ya, would cure cancer, hrs made another important discov­ ery in the Kae of fluorescence, and his also obtained results in another experiment that warrant the belief that he has reached what has been the objective point of this line of scientific research lor years past. The experiments thade so far indlcate that Mr. Morton has found a cold light illumination without heat. Effect of Treatment. The new dircovery in fluorescence has added another 1aw to- the pur­ poses and acticn of the X-ray, as an­ nounced by Roentgen, and It explains why the treatment for cancer with fluorescent I'quids should be success­ ful.

When the stomach is filled with fluorescent liquid, It acts just the same as though you filled It with some plastic ma­ terial— lead, for instance. The discovery of this important sc entitle feature was made practical­ ly by accident. It was desired to make a pho'-'graph of a rack of test tubes containing aesculln, fluorescln and quinine liquids. These were placed in frvnt of the machine and subjected to the light. The negative showed the fluorescent tubes a deep black. Great Aid to Surgery. Then the hand of one of Dr. Mor­ ton's aisistarts and afterward a stom­ ach were photographed.

RICH PLACER ARE FOUND IN ILLINOIS TO EMPLOY 15,000 MEN Panama Commission Returns from In­ spection end Will Organize at Cnee for Work. Washington, May 2.—The isthmian canal comm-sslon has returned to Washington after an inspection of the Panama canal, and will this week or­ ganize. . ~ * A body of engineers will be sent at once to make new borings for the Bahio dam. and another to provide a system of sanitation for the cities of Colon and Panama. The commission expects to take control of the canal zone at once and organize a govern­ ment for full police and sanitary con-, tool. Tbe canal was found in good con­ dition. but the machinery is either out of date or so deteriorated as to be almost nsekss. It is the p irpose of tbe commission to let out me st of the work by con­ tract, and it is estimated that 15,000 men can be out to work on the canal within a ye r. Some of the commis­ sioners thin that this work will have to be done largely by Chinese, as the climatic conditions will not permit of the employment of Americans, even our Southern negroes. The men now employed are mostly West Indian negroes, and It is thought that Chinese from Canton or southern China will be superior to them. A part of the commission will return to Panama at ph early date, and several members will be there all tbs time.

The Early Adjournment. Tbe first regular session ot the fifty­ eighth congress, which came to an end last Thursday is chiefly noteworthy for its appropriations and its early ad­ journment. Mr. Hemenway, chairman of the appropriations committee, esti­ mates tbe total expenditures provided for at 8781,574,629, -and claims that our national government is tbe most econ­ omically administered, of any in tbe world. This may be true, but Repre­ sentative Livingston pointed out in re­ ply that these figures are 8287,000,000 more than the average appropriations of the last democratic congresses in 1806 and 1896. This excess of republican over demo-cratic expenditure, is something which ought not to be looked upon with indif­ ference. It means that if the republi­ can party is kept in control much long­ er we shall soon have billion dollar ses­ sions of congress. The increase can­ not be accounted for as a natural con­ sequence of our growth In population and tbe expansion of our national in"terests. These things will of course it th rh & Chaffee.

Crawford and me with frozen dignity. It was utterly futile to reason with him, and when at last he Informed us that his wed­ ding would take place within a fortnight we decided that the battle was lost. Nev­ ertheless we did not quit the field, ahd as the company played an engagement of three consecutive nights In one city we were spared the miseries of travel. We took a double suit In a rascally little hotel in order to be near Wally, who was economizing for the wedding, and on the last of the three nights we were sitting In the parlor waiting for the boy. who had promised to see us after the performance. He came promptly, and, with the mag­ nanimity of a victor, he greeted us less Icily than usual. Indeed we were fairly launched upon a really amicable conver­ sation when a hasty rap at the door Inter­ rupted us. Crawford answered, and I saw him re­ treat from the door after he had opened It. ns If there had been a ghost outside. "I beg your pardon," said a voice which I Instantly recognized as Miss Harting­ ton’s "Is Mr Ford here?" Crawford did not reply In words, but he made a series of grotesquely wooden gestures which the lady rightly interpreted as an Invitation to come In. So In she come, and her looks amazed me. I had seen her several times off the stage, and always the sight of her had touched my heart. The world had not used her well. and she showed It. She bad seemed to me a beaten woman, weary, disappointed and oppressed by a deep sense ot Injustice, yet withal sustained by some interior strength which I had taken to be sheer pugnacity Now she was transformed She held her head high; her eyes shone; there was the magic of renewed youth In her face.

Splendid! j. . This . . Is the , , chance . . a 1 m mighty glad for you.” She looked at him intently, lovingly— yea. by all that's odd, the woman loved him. "It’s the chance of a lifetime for both of us." she eald, paying no more attention to Crawford and me than if we had been two dummies. “Wally, this offer—miracu­ lous as if ’he sky should rain roses"— “Or dollars," said he. "This part that is offered me," she con­ tinued, "Is al) that I ask. If I cannot make my way with this, I am content to fall. But 1 was not content to live this life of mine and have nothing, absolutely nothing; no smallest desire granted, no single gleam of good fortune between my cradle and my grave.

"Do you mean." he cried, "that you ■111 break with me?" ’ "Yes, yea." she answered, and she We saw the remainder of the play and waved her hand toward Crawford and me. then walked back to the hotel.

Body of Millionaire Mine - Owner Found In Public - Highway. WAS COVERED UP BY LEAVES Remains Are Exposed by Forest Fire and Are Discovered by Young Farm­ er, Who Will Secure Portion of Re­ ward Offered by Estate. Big Stone Gap, Va., May 9.—Lying face downward at a spot in the moun­ tains which has been passed and re­ passed perhaps 1,000 times in the search for him, the body of E. L. Wentz, the young millionaire mine owner of Philadelphia, was found near Big Stone Gap Sunday afternoon. The body was 1 dressed in the clothes which were familiar to almost everyone In the neighborhood of ^lg Stone Gap, but -these were scorched. The body W"8 laid bare because of a recent forest fire which burned the leaves which had covered it. There was nothing on the face or body to Indicate violence. It was found by a young man who had been sent out to-hunt cows, He knew Mr. Wentz and identified hl3 clothes at once. Body Is Well Preserved. The body, because of the cold weather in the mountains since last September, was in an excellent state of preservation. Tt e young man who t found it notified J. F.‘ Bullitt, general* counsel, and E. J. Prescott, auditor of the Virginia Coal and Iron company, and they have gone to the place to bring the body back to Big Stone Gap. A post mortem will be held and it Is believed it will be shown that young Wentz was murdered and the body then concealed. The rewards offered for the return of Wentz, who disappeared on Oct. 14 last, now aggregate >50,000. Portions of the reward were offered for the re­ covery of the bojly if he was dead, and information as to the identity of his murderers if murder had been committed. Wentz was a son of Dr. J. S. Wentz of Philadelphia, principal owner of the Virginia Coal and Iron company. For a month after his disappearance detectives and thousands of citizens sought him, but after that the general search was discontinued, his friends having apparently not even the shad­ ow of a clew. A vast boundary of land in this Sec­ tion. embracing about 150,000 acres, is owned by the Wentz estate. Edward Leisenrlng Wentz was gen­ eral manager of the estate, and while he was yet a mere boy, being only 25 years of age, had shown marked busi­ ness ability. This had engendered some hatred from the self-satisfied populace who had been contented to spend their lives in their little cabins on the mountain sides. Story of the Disappearance. The Wentz mansion is located st Big Stone Gap. Here EaL. Wentz had resided the last four years with his married brother, D. B. Wentz, al­ though he was having an elegant home erecte I for himself when be bo mysteriously disappeared. It was his frequent habit to don a riding costume, mount a saddle horse, call his dogs together and in com­ pany with a friend ride across the rugged country to the home of Charles Wax, the superintendent of the es­ tate, some fifteen miles away. Contrary to his usual habit, on the morning of Oct. 4 he started to make the Journey alone. . Shortly before noon be was seen by several acquaintances riding through Kelleyview. In the evening some boys passing along the road one-half of a mile above Kelleyview observed a horse a short distance from the road. The horse had its feet entangled In its bridle reins and a rain coat was strapped on the saddle. The boyfe went to the animal, which they well knew, and on not finding the rider re­ turned the horse to the home of D. B. Wentz at Big Stone Gap. Find Body of Missing Worf)an.

The sausages were sold in 1899 by Libby, McNeil & Libby' of Chicago to ’ A. Willard as "11,000 pounds pt microscopically inspected and dry. 1 enough for export, unsmoked farmers’ sausages, which sausages were after­ ward further warranted to be not too ; fat for the purposes for which they were intended" Negotiable bills of lading were is­ sued on the consignment, and Wil­ liam James of the Produce Exchange, advanced to Willard on them nearly the face value. The sausages were shipped to Bordeaux* There the health officers refused them admission. The captain of the steamer appealed to the American consul,, ard the appealwas laid be.ore the State Department at Washington, but diplomacy failed to provide relief. Back came the sausages to New York. Mr. James declined to have any­ thing to do with them, and sued the Chicago packers. On tne trial in the city court last February the jury found for Mr. James, and the Chicago packers took an appeal. The chances are that the "sausage war" will continue in the courts for some time.

Much credit is due to tbe effort of the chorus, singers, male quartet and solo­ ists, fender the able leadership of Mrs. Archie McCoy. About a year ago Miss Anna Gid­ dings, then a teacher in tbe Hastings schools, was treated to a surprise In the shape of a “Linebower,” given herby her fallow teachers. Among tbe arti­ cles in the collection were a rattle box, and several other things appertaining to infantile life. The foresight exhibit­ ed by these school ma’ams was some­ thing Ciulte remarkable. For now the little articles in that collection so touchingly addressed in words of in­ spiration to “LUtle Pete” will come in bandy. It was a ten-pound boy that came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Replogle in Baftle Creek last Satur­ day, and although his name will not be “Little Pete,” we have no doubt that as soon as his mother bas taught him to read and write, he will send a nicely worded and neatly written letter of ac­ knowledgment to the donors, signing it *'Charles Henry Replogle. ” ’ Superintendent Field was the victim, cof a very cleverly planned coup Mon- I day evening. Summoned to the door about eight o’clock, he was confronted by tbe whole teaching force of the city schools, headed by Principal Edger. Tbe crowd of smiling schoolma’ams pro­ ceeded to take possession of the house and for tbe next three hours they held undisputed possession and made things about as lively and interesting as only school teachers can when they have laid aside.tbeirprofessional dignity and set out to have a jolly good t'me. It would be unnecessary to say to anyone who had been within a block of tbe bouse that evening that tbe pedagogues .played “Pit.” Indeed, there were fears during the excitement of the evening that Mr. Wallace woujd hardly survive the game. However, quiet was finally secured by administering liberal doses of ice cream to the crowd, especially to Messrs Edger and Wallace, and when the latter gentleman had sufficiently quieted his nerves for the task he arose and In behalf of the teachers of the. Hastings schools, presented the astonished^uperlntendent with a very hand­ some gold watch charm, in tbe form of a Masonic key stone.

GILES. _ - | thorfty on Cotton Statistics. Statistics to tbe average woman is a . wctance as devoid of interest as the Study qf Sanskrit, To Miss Katherine M. Giles of New York It is a congenial business occupation. Miss Giles has ■chosen cotton for her specialty. She ihaa the distinction of being tbe only (Woman in the world who is admittedly an authority on the subject of cotton. There are other women who trade in stocks and, in fact, become stork bro­ thers. But cotton is said to Lr a more (intricate field when taken in all iu asipects of production, marketing and jxnanlpulatlon than any other commod­ ity the world uses. It is more pus­ sling than wheat, corn, stocks or bonds. IFor this reason perhaps Miss Giles ! J velops a., beauty of character, which makes friends and an ability to hold them. It is universally admitted that American women are the most beauti­ ful. And the most beautiful American women are the equestrians. W'ho bo^ not seen or heard of the sweet Kentueky belle, w ith her Venus-llke figure, bright, laughing eyes, a beautiful com­ plexion that would put the. damask rose to'shame, a pose, a grice, artistic lines, that are beyond tbe poet to de­ scribe or tbe artist to reproduce? This beauty of face, form ’and character is the inherited and acquired result of equestrianism. — New York ’ Medical Journal. Hanging Picture*. Pictures should never be bung too high. You often see a choice^ little painting hung so high that you would have to mount a chair to see what the subject is. Always bang pictures so that they can be easily seen by a person of medium height It is considered to be In better taste to use two nails instead of one. It gives a more symmetrical effect, and indeed it Is worth consider-, ing as a matter of safety. Be very rareful to hang pictures in the proper light. If they are to be seen to a strong light do not put them in an ob­ scure corner, and If painted to bright colors do not place where tbe sunshine will fall on them. . Floor Crack*. To stop cracks to floors putty Is not necessary. A cheap and effective sub­ stitute for It is made by soaking news­ paper in a paste made by boiling a pound of flour in three quarts of wa­ ter and adding a teaspoonful of pow­ dered alum. This mixture should be about the consistency of putty and should be forced between the boards with a blunt knife. When the com­ pound has dried, it can be painted to match the boards, and if the cracks have been neatly filled up they will hardly be perceptible. MISS KATHERINE M. GILES, might take a pardonable pride in hav­ ing achieved such distinction as a statItatlclan. She is a busln&sllke young woman of about twenty-five, with reddish Igolden hair and keen but pleasant blue eyes. Her office is down in the heart Of the financial district, and It is as ibusy a place as one will find In all that [center of rush and turmoil. She has a jwell equipped cotton library, which ■means that she has on file everything relating to the growing of cotton In this country. 8he can tell you to the numjber of bales what every state has pro­ duced for the last twenty years, what /cotton has sold for in all the markets of the world, what weather conditions affect the plant and aid or curtail its ■production. Miss Giles took up tbe business in a most natural way. While still a young grirl she became employed In tbe office of one of the largest cotton brokers of New York. She bas been associated with several firms since that time and bas made a close study of the subject •■with every opportunity afforded her. Finally she branched out lu business for herself. Besides her out of tow'll customers she has numbered among her clients some of the most Important firms of cotton brokers In New York. They have realized that she has un­ usual facilities for gathering data. She has a list of more than 3.000 corre­ spondents. who report to her on tbe crop conditions in their respective dis­ tricts. More than that, they Include many men throughout tbe south who nre on the list of the government’s cor­ respondents, and it is natural that Miss Giles should have prestige in con­ sequence.—New York Herald. Wall Treatment. ■ The rules of good taste never change, though they sometimes seem to do so. (The wall should be treated from the baseboard up. If there is a dado it should represent tbe darkest tone of all those employed for the wall. The division above it should be several shades lighter, the border. If any, still [lighter and the ceiling lightest of all, and for this reason, which always ex­ ists: Tbe ceiling receives less light than any other portion of the room and the border less than the wall be­ low it. The effort, therefore, must be to counteract the darkness above by supplying the missing light A dark |>apered ling should always be avoided iny but’a .T^klsh or Indlan room. Cool yellows, deej^ creams and golden tans are the best celling tones, as a rule, though there are oc­ casions where a soft blue or a rose flushed celling is to be advised.- Har­ per’s Bazar. Few hostesses understand the art of of pouring tea and coffee, simple ns It appears. As a rule, tbe guest of honor is offered the first cup, which Is the weakest, while the children, if served nt all, are given tbe last and strongest When it is desirable to have all tbe cups of uniform strength one should pour a little into each and then begin over again, reversing the order. In Eng­ land this art is so well understood tnat a pourer of tea and coffee does not be­ gin to replenish the cups till all are be­ fore her. A most convenient article for the t kitchen is a bench or box on which the mop pall may be placed when one is mopping the floor or washing paint. This bench saves one from stooping to tbe floor each time the mop or cloth must be wrung out, and it Is this stooping that makes the work of mop­ ping so very tiresome. This same bench can be used for elevating the clothes basket when one is hanging out clothes, saving one tbe trouble of stooping for each piece of clean linen. To take bruises out of furniture wet tbe part with warm water, fold a piece of brown paper five or six times, soak it and lay It on the place. Apply on that a hot flatiron till 'the moisture has evaporated. If tbe bruise is not gone, repeat the dose. After two or three applications tbe dents or bruises will be raised level with the surface. ' Afterward polish as usual. Tbe real wear of table linen is in laundering, but this may be materially decreased and tbe linen made to qerve much longer by careful ironing, Tbe flat should be moved with the warp threads, and not across them, Tne next time you draw threads in table linen note the difference in strength of the warp and woof threads, and you will be convinced. When buying a stair carpet get an extra yard and fold it ii) at each end. This extra length will enable you to shift the' carpet sometimes higher, sometimes lower, and so to ggj worn evenly. If this precaution be not tak en tbe edges of tbe stairs-will be worn out while tbe untrodden part remains quite fresh and new Jooking. Caatlle Soap.

Admiring and loving are quite differ­ ent things, though often confounded, for'how frequently one bears a man say. “Oh, yes; I admire her very much, but she is not the kind of woman I could fall in love with.” What first at­ tracts a man is beauty, what holds a man is charm, and a woman may be very lovely, ye't possess no retentive charm. Thus It is we see a beautiful woman losing her grip.on a man's af­ fection, while a plain woman .does not do so. Why this should be is a rather vexed question, but as a general'rule it will be found in such cases that there is none other than mere physical beauty, no beauty, it may be, of intelligence, feeling or sympathy. If matters not how exquisite a woman may be in complexion and features. If there is no depth in her nature sbe ceases soon­ er or later to be attractive.- 7 Tactful, intelligent sympathy which fan comprehend another's most trivial joy and deepest pleasure, another’s slightest grief and keenest sorrow, is the magnet that draws around a wom­ an a circle of ardent friends. To be able to descend Id sympathy to the level of a fool or ascend to the heights of a genius means in more mundane matters a host of admirers for a wom­ an, as these admirers admire her for appreciating them. — McCall’s Maga­ zine. �-r 1 SUCCESSFUL COUVEBTIOII MIDDLEVILLE. .

Before Annual Meeting of Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of M. E. Church. Prices have been advancing for a year.- We have protected our trade in some lines by buying • large quantities before the advance. Some lines we are selling regardless of profit. Society should send out at least one hundred and twenty-five new mission­ aries ibis year, if- they in a measure, meet the demand In the foreign field,’says Bishop Thoburn. “O, if you wom­ en could see and realize what is being done by your prayer and two cents a week, through your consecrated exptains and generals on the field, how your contributions would multiply,” says Bishop Foss. These words give us a glimpse of the opportunity before our society, with a hint also of its depend­ ence upon the faithfulness of the forces at home. The two cents a week and a prayer make possible the success of the workers abroad. Counting a thousand dollars for trav­ eling expenses and one year’s salary, to send out the hundred and twenty-five new missionaries would require* one hundred and twenty-five thousand dol­ lars. Dividing that among the eleven branches, each branch should raise 811,363 more than they are now raising; and each auxiliary in our branch should raise about $10 more. Ten new mem­ bers for each auxiliary would bring the necessary dollars to send the hundred and twenty-five new missionaries. I have a dim recollection of attending with my mother a meeting of ladies at a Methodist parsonage where an auxil­ iary of the W. F. M. S. was organized in the village church. For some years it was a credit to th© church; but a number of the leading spirits moved away and the auxiliary languished. One year however, they secured Mrs. Denning for a thank-offering service; and following her suggestions, they se­ cured a thank-offering of a hundred dollars. This greatly surprised and de­ lighted the members, and gave them new life and hope. Someone suggested a membership contest. They entered upon the plan with heartiness, and se­ cured a membership of 'one hundred and fifty. That was done in asmall vil­ lage with two other women’s mission­ ary societies in the place. One quarter they sent in fifty dollars dues. “There will be fi. shrinkage?" Yes but many will remain, and that society will long rank as one of the first in its conference. It is meeting its opportunity. 11.00 a Ykak To the Pupils of Hastings Schools. Fitzgerald Post, G. A.

May 16.—The depart­ ment of justice is preparing again to take up the subject of peonage In the south. Additional reports have been received indicating that negroes are held in servitude. Assistant Attorney General Purdy has instructed the United States attorney for the western district of Louisiana to investigate alleged cases of peonage on planta­ tions near Monroe, Ouchlte parish. Information regarding these cases came to the department from Judge ^McDaniel, assistant attorney for ^he southern district of Texas, to whom complaint had been made by relatives of the negroes alleged to be illegally held. Some of the stories told are sensational In the extreme, and if their truth is established the department will vigorously prosecute the of­ fenders. Judge McDaniel and Marshal Han­ son of the southern Texas district have made some investigations, but have been unable to accomplish any­ thing tangible because the places in which the negroes are said to-be held In bondage are so far out of their jurisdiction. A feature of unusual In­ terest is the intimation that some of the peace officers are in collusion with those alleged to be holding the negroes. Gen. Kfturopttkin Is Believed * to Be In Despe^e Straits. Galveston, Tex>, May 16.—Having made destitution of a valuable dia­ mond ring, Paul Clarkson, a prisoner in the county jell here, was not prose^ cuted. Restitution was made with th6 aid of two surgeors, an X-ray machine, and scalpel. The stone, after being located by means of the machine, was removed from Clarkson’s stomach and turned over to the proper owner. It Is worth $250. The owner was so pleased that he paid for the operation and told the prisoner to go and feed on diamonds no more. Clarkson was just getting ready to sail for New York when he was ar­ rested. He denied his «uilt at first, but while he was being searched the stone, which he held in his mouth, slipped down bls gullet, by mistake, he says. He had been annoyed; now he be­ came thoroughly frightened, acknowl­ edged hls guilt, and begged that a surgeon be sent for. The surgeon doubted hls word, unth the shadow­ graph was brought into play. Clarkson rallied quickly from the shock of the operation, and is recov­ ering rapidly. Republicans Take Twenty, four Ballots for Governor Without Result NO PENALTY TO BE ATTACHED Members Who Sfce Fit to Indulge In Dancing, Card-Playing or Theater­ Going Are to Be Allowed to Exercise Their Own Free Will. Los Angeles, Cal., May 16.—Dele­ gates to the Methodist general confer­ ence welcomed the opportunity for rest Sunday, not so much on account of the work they have had to do dur­ Ing the week past, but because of the strenuous sessions which everyone feels are to come. First and foremost on the "battle slate” for the coming week is the question of whether the absolute pro­ hibition of dancing, card-playing and theater-going, now in church rules, shall give way to a mere advisory re­ striction, with no penalty to be visited on the church members who may see fit to do any of these things. Look for Lively Time. This question is expected to furnish the most lively and probably the most acrid debate of any which will come before the conference. It Is general­ ly believed that those in favor of the more liberal policy will be successful when the matter comes to a final vote. This conference Is also slated to go on record on the subject of divorces and the re-marriage of divorced per­ sons, and the debate on this natter is expected to develop some sensation­ al features.

For the first three months they located in this city, but since then they have migrated to interior towns and have started several missions. Their meth­ ods are distasteful to the Cuban Catholics, who have appealed to the clergy to have them expelled. MURDER IN A RAILROAD CAMP Physician Rescues Girl From Coffin In Midst of Rites.

"Mr. Chairman, I make a motion that this convention adjourn until 10 o’clock next Monday morning." shout­ ed Warden Murphy. A thunderous chorus of “Noes" in­ stantly arose from all parts of the house. It lasted until Chairman Cannan’s gavel seemed due for destruc­ tion. Comparative order was finally obtained and the chairman then In­ formed Mr. Murphy that under the rules an adjournment would carry the conventIniiA^ctil noon Monday, and that If h^nesired to convene again at 10 o'clock the motion would have to call for a recess. ”1 move, then, that we take a re­ cess until 10 o'clock next Monday,” said Mr. Murphy, barely making him­ self heard above the terrific din. Twothirds of the delegates were crowding Iqto the aisles and the others were mounted on chairs and tables yelling "no" as hard as they could. Delegate Lindsey of Vermilion county offered an amendment making the hour 2 o’clock and another ear-splitting pro­ test aros*». Motions Are Tangled. Congressman Fuller of Boone coun­ ty managed to get in the chairman’s recognition and offered another amendment. He wanted the conven­ tion to adjourn until 10 o'clock Wednesday. This amendment was greeted wltn just as many signs of disfavor as the others and Delegate Graham of White county offered a mo­ tion to table the motion to adjourn. An­ other delegate tangled things up still more by offering a motion to amend tb#> amendment by making the hour of adjournment 2 o'clock next Monday. About this time Chairman Cannon began to show the delegates how to manage a convention. Above the deafening roar of thousands of voices Martin B. Madden of tbe Chicago del­ egation was heard as the chairman was preparing to put the motion. "Mr. Chairman," cried Mr. Madden. “I desire to say a word on the ques­ tion before the house.” "This Is not a debatable question," said the chairman. Madden Gets Mixed Up. "Then I arise to a parliamentary in­ quiry." continued Mr. Madden, nothing daunted. "Our congressional district conventions in Cook county are to be held on May 16 and 17. If this con­ vention prevents us from holding our conventions, what I want io know Is, is it the purpose of this convention to prevent us from electing delegates to the national Republican convention?" "The chair has heard the gentleman from Cook," announced Chairman Cannon, with a broad smile on hl! face. ”It is not a parliamentary inqulry that the chair can answer. It is a question of fact.” Then Mr. Madden offered a substi­ tute for the whole proposition, a mo­ tion to adjourn until next Thursday morning. Chairman Cannon recog­ nized the substitute motion as In or­ der, but announced that it would have to wait for action urtil the original proposition had been voted on. This motion was put at'd declared lost on a viva voce vote which was deafening in Ita rolsiness. Then the delegates w«re called on to vote on Mr. Malden’s substitute motion.

From 1876 to 1892, Delaware uniformly voted for the democratic nominee. In 1892 Mr. Cleveland carried Illinois, Indiana voted for Tilden in 1876, for Cleveland in 1883 and 1892. Kansas voted for Bryan in 1896 and for Weaver in ,1892. Michigan gave Cleveland five electoral votes in 1892. Nebraska voted for Bryan in 1896 and New Jersey was uni­ formly democratic from 1872 to 1896 (both years included). Nprth Dakota divided her vote in 1892 between Cleve­ land, Harrison and Weaver, giving one vote to each. ’ While Ohio has always been carried by tbe republicans in presidential jeats, she actually gave Cleveland one vote in 1892. In 1896 South Dakote voted for Bryan and so did the state of Washing­ ton. Although West Virginia gave its vote to McKinley in 1896 and MIOO, its previous record was invariably demo­ cratic. Wisconsin gave McKinley big majorities in 1896 and 1900, it is true, but in 1902 it gave its total electoral vote to Cleveland. Finally, Wyoming, the last of this "sure” list, voted for Bryan in 18%. Thus it will be seen that if the re­ publicans are relying upon this libt of "sure” states to elect Mr. Roosevelt next fall, they are leaning on a reed that is pretty "shaky” if not entirely broken. ’ ..... ; 1 .'

She laid hls Xing on the table. “It isn't so much that I object to the work of cooking and sewing, but that you should make It an issue in our marriage.” Weston's handsome face was trouJled. “1 love you," he said simply, "love just to look at you, be near ju. bear your voice, but there has to be more than an emotion between folks for a happy wedded life. Humanity is pret­ ty poor stuff; we never rise far above . our material wants. When a man has just downed a poorly cooked dinnerburnt steak, undone biscuit, soggy pie —he's not just in the humor to appre­ ciate hls wife’s kisses.” He drew her on hls knee and kissed tenderly tbe mutinous little mouth. “It'-a for your happiness as much as mine, sweetheart I don't want to make a slave of you. We'll have a girl to help with the work, and 1 won’t howl over the bills for my Httle wife’s dresses. But I want you to know how to do things." “Papa Is satisfied with the way I manage bls house," she said stubborn­ ly. Weston glanced at the untidy rooms, tbe slovenly servant passing the open window. He thought of tbe unsavory meals be had eaten In "this bouse" and Inwardly groaned. "But, Lucie," be urged, "wouldn't you rather laugh with me evenings than cry on my shoulder because the cook's left and you’ve burned tbe meat up, or because Madame Highflier has ruined your new frock? My sister was raised pretty much as you’ve been, and I lived with her a year after she was married, so I know whereof I speak. John has dyspepsia and looks as though be wished heaven were hls borne." “He had no right to marry unless be could support hls wife properly," she retorted unreasonably. “He earns $6,000 a year," said Wes­ ton dryly, “three times what I do.” He shrugged hls shoulders and laugb- FLAHH WENT DOUGHY HANDS AND ALL ABOUND HIS NECK. ed. “You see, darling, it behooves us to know how to manage our bouse and our frocks.” “Life is too short to drudge,” said she, unmollifled. “I want my time for my own—to read, study, travel about” “That's different,” be answered in a constrained voice. “I was thinking of just a little home, with our own pretty yard and garden. I even looked for­ ward, joyfully, to working that same garden myself; and a nice little horse and runabout, and a few weeks’ vaca­ tion in Bummer, and one servant just to help—not to manage. My brother Ned Ilves that way—he and Alice and lhe two children. Ned don’t earn as much as I do, either. So you see—I—I thought"— He waited a little. "Goodby, Lucie,” he said softly and put tbe Jlscarded ring in his pocket “It’s my ring," she cried, then jerk­ ed her band away as he tried to put it on her finger. “Keep it, Lucie; It’s yours, as are my heart and life.

She turned to Lude. “Is it so, ma’am?" she asked piteously. “I cooks on your sth rate, an’ I bears you playin’, an’. 1 want to play that thune about the * shamrOck that you plays, ma’am.” Ghe sat down with a thump as Lucle’s face, too, spoke disapproval. “I must ma’am," she moaned. “It’s for Ignatius.

"I’ll teach you myself, an hour every day, and you can teach me to cook and to keep bouse properly. I’m to be mar­ ried tou. It's one aided now, but—It won’t be.” Then they both cried a little, but dur­ ing tbe next month life was roseate to Lucie and Katie, though they both worked harder than they had ever done before. Lucie had Intended to be very dignified about her love affair, but somehow Katie learned as much about Tom and hls perfections as did Lucie about Ignatius and hla “darllnt’ways.” Lucie was In the kitchen, hands deep In biscuit dough, dimpled arms moving with scientific motion, face flushed and deeply Interested—when In walked Tom. knd the look he gave her! In a flash went doughy hands and all around hls neck. "I got the dinner all myself yester­ day." was what she said. "And I’ve made two dresses, and Katie says my pies are as good, as hers—she cun play exercises now—and. oh, Tom. tomor­ row I'm to bake a cake!" And though two oper mouthed, wild eyed Irish girls stood not six teet away, Ton: kissed the sweet upturned face “tin whole times, kusmack, for I count­ ed thlm meself.” wrote Katie to Ig­ natius.

He bad printed cards of advice, which he used to distribute, besides giving guidance verbally. One of tbe cards was for the man and the other for tbe woman. That to the woman ran as follows: "When you marry him love him; after you marry him study him; If be Is honest honor him; If be Is gen­ erous appreciate him; when be is sad cheer him; when he Is cross amuse him; when he Is talkative listen to him; when he Is quarrelsome Ignore him; If he Is slothful spur him; If he Is noble praise him; if be Is confiden­ tial encourage him; If he Is secretive trust him; If he is jealous cure him; if he cares naught for pleasure coax him; If be favors society accompany him; If be does you a favor thank him; when he deserves It kiss him; let him think bow well you understand him, but never let him know that you ‘man­ age’ him.” Richard Cobden was a striking illus­ tration of a man who refused to take from hla government perquisites that might well have been hls. When Cobden went to Paris in 1859 to negotiate tbe commercial treaty with France the government hired for him an elegant mansion. “ Daring the negotiations he lived in state, with carriages at hls disposal. The moment the treaty was signed _ at the Qua! d’Orsay Cobden regarded bls errand and hls services as ended. He returned to hls official headquar­ ters and wrote to the Anglo-Parisian banker with whom*a credit bad been opened for him that tbe treaty had been signed, and hls account with her majesty’s government should be closed immediately. He sent the letter, called a cab and drove, with his trunk, from hls man­ sion to a hotel, where be slept that night as a private citizen in a room “two pair back.” In all crustaceans, as indeed In al­ most everything in nature, there is a certain per cent of iron.

The chemical change which takes place here Is almost similar to that which occurs in the burning of a brick. In boiling a lobster its coat ceases to be a Living substance, and to a certain extent it takes a new charac­ ter. It is as a brick would be after burn­ ing.

George M. Freeto Is one of our wide­ awake young farmers, and be says: “Farming is pretty poor business done in the old way, and If I want to raise anything at a profit I have got to force it. Ixxik, for Instance, at those tur­ keys; young gobblers there that weigh eighteen pounds and young hers four­ teen pounds. How did I do It? Well, I feed them warm dough mornings, then In an hour or two I call them up and feed them a Ijttle more, and then I give them barley and cracked corn, then whole corn. 1 feed six times a day and throw tbe feed down to them every time so they can see It when It falls. Then they grab for It with a rush, and by so doing 1 keep their crops full all the time.” Turkeys are something like a trout— they want to catch their feed on the fly. Freeto’s neighbors feed once or twice a day and keep the feed before the turkeys dll the time, but they don’t eat enough of It to weigh twelve or fourteen pounds for gobblers. Four pounds extra at 18 cents is 72 cents each. With a flofk of forty turkeys it makes almost $30 extra. Didn’t that pay? Then an extra price of 2 cents per pound would bring it up to $40.

Rome, May 23.—Vatican authorities continue agitated over. the conflict with the French government growing out of the protest against President Loubet's visit to Rome and the recall of M, Nlsard, the French ambassador to the Vatican. The* pope said mass Sunday morning in the presence of slxty-four Italians and foreigners, and gaye up the rest of the day to the consideration of the difficulties with France, reading clippings from news­ papers on tbe subject. The Vatican authorities hope that M. Nlsard will soon return to Rome, being influenced by the fact that his family is still here. Trouble in Modified Note. It is believed 1’Humanlte of Paris became possessed of the note of pro­ test addressed to the other /powers, which varied from that sent to the French government, through the prin­ cipality of Monaco, the Vatican’s note to which was stronger than that ad­ dressed to the other Catholic states in consequence of the report that Prince Albert of Monaco intended to visit the King of Italy, and also because Prince Albert was the friend of Cap­ tain Dreyfus, who had worked against the French government. It is said Prince Albert was offended because the late Pope Leo refused the Peter’s nonce pence uent sent hv by Mnnarn Monaco hpcanae because It came from gambling operations, and because the Vatican rejected Profes­ sor Klein, translator of the works of Bishop John L. Spalding of Peoria, III., who was proposed by Prince Albert as Bishop of Monaco. Papal Nuncio Remains. Pits, $fay 23.—M. Nlsard. the French ambassador recalled from the Vatican, will confer with Foreign Min­ ister Delcasse and go over the details of the rupture between France and the Vatican. Contrary to general expec­ tation. Mgr. Ixirenzelli, the papal nuncio at Paris, will not leavea Ms post. The Lanterne complains that the government has not fulfilled the prom­ ises made to the parliamentary lead­ ers that a complete rupture would take place, and declares that the leav­ ing of a charge d'affaires to carry on routine business with the Vatican will not be satisfactory. The more mod­ erate elements appear to be satisfied with the course of the government, while the reactionary clerical papers express regret. The ministry of the interior author­ izes a denial of the statement that M. de Navenne. first secretary of the embassy, will ast as charge d'affaires at theVatican. stating tb-t the govern­ ment considers his selection would minimize the importance of the action taken in tbe recall of Ambassador Nlsard.

In view of such facte as these it does not seeta likely that the state conven­ tion will be led into a scheme to nullify Michigan’s Influence St. Louis. No doubt the Hearst forces will make a strong effort to bring about such a re­ sult, but they should remember that there la such a thing as being over zealous. Judge Parker has nearly if not quite as many friends U Michigan as Mr. Hearst, and if the representa­ tives of the Parker boom are willing to have an uninstructed delegation go to_ St. Louis, the Hearst leaders will be wise to show equal magnanimity. There is nothing to be gained for Mr. Hearst by riding rough shod over the feelings of a large and influential min­ ority. It is then to be hoped that Michigan democracy will act with moderation and good sense in the exceedingly import­ ant-duty of naming leaders for the com­ ing struggle. A united and harmoni­ ous party is the one thing above all others to be secured before which the ambitions of certain men to control sink into insignificence. Let the con­ vention at Detroit next week rise above personal favoritism and send to St, Louis a delegation with no other in­ structions than to vote’for the highest welfare of the party and the American people as tbe circumstances and condi­ tions shall then direct. h mutt be apparent to tbe friends of genuine primary election reform that the republican machine of Michigan ’ will have none of it. The treatment .. accorded to William Alden Smith and the other friends of this reform by the ! late aggregation of officeholders at Grand Rapids assembled In state oon• vention was proof entirely conclusive that tbe machine proposes to defy pub­ lie sentiment in this matter. Mr. Smith’s valiant fight in the committee on resolutions to secure^-tbe insertion of a straight forward, unequivocal en. * doreement of primary reform met with I no support from the other eleven memI.. . here and when he presented bis minor­ ity report to the full convention, he and his sympathizers were set down ■■ by ^verse vote against ■flJ^&282 for his resolution. -HHRd yet tbe republican party of ' Michigan has twice solemnly pledged itself In state platforms to adopt pri­ mary reform, and the desire of the ; masses is today stronger than ever in favor of such a measure. And it is worthy of remark that at the very time when tbe politicians were busily engaged in knifing the proposition at | Grand Rapids tbe old-timers who helped organize the republican party by voting for John C. Freemont were F passing resolutions at Jackson strongly I < • favoring the reform. Resolutions fnThe Schubert club of Grand Rapids | numerable have been passed by Various non-partisan bodies, such as granges, Is to be congratulated on the accom­ plishment of the very worthy project of farmers’ gatherings and Grand Army P?}' posts, in favor of this reform.

It will surprise many readers to b< told, on the authority of Dr. Katherine G. Townsend, writing in Everybody'! Magazine, that the average number of medical women graduates each year h about 000, and it is estimated that there are nearly 6,000 women physi­ cians practidng In this country. Years ago a medical woman _had s hard time to make ends meet with the proceeds of her labor. At this period each large city will show the names ol several who are earning five, ten, fif­ teen and twenty thousand dollars an­ nually. Fifty-five years ago this country had not one woman physician. Colleges would not graduate them, men abomi­ nated them and women had a contempt for them. Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to gain a diploma from a medi­ cal college. She was graduated from Hobart college, Geneva, N. Y., in 1849, but It was not until she had applied to twelve colleges that the "sacred” por­ tals were opened to her. Her sister, Emily Blackwell, had similar difficulty in entering a medical college. She finally’ graduated, however, and these two sisters settled in New York and founded a dispensary which developed into the present New York Infirmary For Women and Children, with -its house staff of eighteen physicians, all women. Wherever a marked personal care 11 exhibited for the cleanliness of the per son and for neatness in dress there le also almost always found extra care­ fulness as regards the finish of work done. Work people whose personal habits are slovenly produce slovenly work; those who are careful of theit own appearance are equally careful o! the look of the work they turn cut ▲nd probably what is true of the work room is equally true of the region be hind the counter. Is It not the fact that the smart saleswoman is usually rather particular about her dress, is averse to wearing dingy collars, frayed cuffs and faded tie«? The truth of the matter seems to be that extra care aa regards personal habits and general appearance is as a rule Indicative of a certain alertness of mind which shows itself antagonistic to slovenliness of all kinds.—London Drapers* Record. The Trained Nnrae. The age limit as applied to the pr$ fesslon of nursing is causing more ot less discussion. It is estimated that the trained nurse begins her remunerative career at twenty-seven. If she is to be considered "too old at forty” she must win a competency for herself in thir­ teen years. It is a well known fact that many women at this “age limit” still possess all the physical qualifies- HASTINGS, MICH J • Store open evenings. tlcns that were theirs when they first finished their studies, with the added value of ripe experience. On the other hand. If the “age limit’' is to go into effect It behooves the aspirant to hon ors in this profession to ponder well the financial pros and cons before entering it '■ ' The cathedral of Toledo is perhaps the finest architectural glory that Spain can boast. Tbe site was occupied by at least three churches before the erection of the present building, tbe first one, according to popular legend, having been erected during the life­ time of the Virgin Mary and visited by her. Of this ebureb we know noth­ ing. The second was pulled down in 1032. The third was finished In 1085 and was occupied by the Moors for , many years as a mosque. Afterward it was the cathedra! of Spain, until in the early part of the thirteenth century Alfonso IX. had It pulled down and the present one erected in Its stead. It is 404 feet long and 204 feet wide. Is built from material quarried in the neighborhood and is of the purest Gothic. It was designed by Pedro Pe­ rez Diaz, who supervised its erec­ tion for nearly fifty years and conse­ crated his life to it. During the five centuries after his death mere than 150 architects were employed upon It, and for 268 years the work was un­ interrupted.— St. James Gazette. As a finely dressed woman entered woman In the “L” train every other ' the car eyed her clothes closel y“There,” said a man to his wife, who was making a close inventory of the new arrival’s dress, “that Is what I don’t like about women.

I am inclined to believe this is owing to men’s finer judgment as to what Is proper. They know that to take note of another's dress is the height of bad manners, and they ab­ stain from doing It.” “It Is very nice of you, of course, to praise your own sex so,” said his wife, “but your explanation is utterly wrong.

Last week Wednesday and Thursday the case of R. G. Rice vs. Jesse Warner of Johnstown yas tried in Justice Rik­ er's court, it seems that the drain which was built by the township of Johnstown and which empties into the Johnstown drain, runs across lhe prop­ erties of Rice and Warner. The latter warned the drain (enlarged and agreed, according to testimony, to pay tbe ad­ ditional assessment of the property owners on the drain. Warner after­ wards refused and Rice brought action. The jury brought in a verdict of 871 in favor of the plaintiff, and tbe case was settled by the payment of the judg­ ment. The Banner took occasion last week to correct our typesetting machine, re­ garding the amount of butter Mrs. B. E. Hunt sold from one cow in one year.

'The house was tastily decorated in rod and white, with festoons of ribbons in these colors from each corner of the dining room celling to the center.

They you come to find them out with ways of doing things so distinctly all their own that one is tempted to give up in dispair at ever being able to discover tbe secrets they poaseea. Bat there is thia good feature about them, that the fam Ily resemblance ft so strongly stamped upon almost every member, that when once you have known one violet well, you will be certain to recognize all the others whenever and wherever you may find them. A remarkable thing about plantsis that most of them ape good in arithme. . ' tic in addition to their ether various accomplishments. This may sound like a strange statement to make but it is • true never-the-Iess. What I mean is that there is no careless arrangement B of loaves or flowers on a plant but there ’• r-4a a system to everything. For in­ stance most flowers are good at multi­ plication, that is, as far as results are concerned. Ju$t as with you and me ' when we learned the multiplication table tbe fives were our favorites, so they seem to be liked preUy well by the plant world people, if the number of times that table is used -by them is any sign of its popularity. Still for ' some strange reason other plants seem * to prefer the number two or four while a great many build on the plan of three, but by far the greater number of flow­ ers, in this part of tbe world at least, arrange their parts on the plan of five. I want you to look at a {lower of the common violet a little, but so keenly that when you are through looking you will have a pretty good picture of the flowers in jour mind. In the first place - let us examine the outside, that is what was the outside of tbe bud before the flower opened. Here you will find five parts looking like very small green leaves. These, as you may know, are called sepals (pronounced see-pals). Now I should like to have yon look at several flowers and see If the sepals are always arranged the same way. Sfou will see that some are larger than others. Does this happen so? Or is It a law of tbe violets that such a sepal shall always be of a given size and shape. You can answer such questions only by looking at a number of flowers of the same kind of violet. < x Now let us look at the flower part proper. If you see correctly, you will . find five divisions here also, and if you look a second time you can not help but observe that thepe is quite a difference in their size aiid shape. These divis­ ions are called petals (pronounced pet­ als). Let us look at them once more. Bold the stem in tbe same position in which it grew with the ffowor facing you. You will DOtiqe that the upper . . part of the stem bends, downward with a sharp torn and that as it does so"1t peases between tbe two largest petals. These we call tbe upper petals because in the.usual position ot tbe violet when growing they are the farthest from the ground. Next to tbe upper petals, one on each side of the flower, are two petals not so large as tbe upper ones but something of tbe same shape. Theoe are called the side petals or eometimee lateral which means tbi same thing. If you have the right violet and have looked carefully you have already no­ ticed that tbe part of each of these petals towards the center of the flower is covered with a tuft of short white hairs. Just what these hairs are lor, men who have studied the violet are not certain, but it is thought to be a contrivance these flowers possess ' for -getting along with their insect neflgh’bors. The violate are some of the schemers I wrote you about last week, and you remember that at the begin­ ning of this letter I gave you to under­ stand they ara a “queer lot;” But to go'back to thoae tufts of hairs again. In studying the violet we call these tufts bes *d» and In speaking about this particular violet we say tbe lateral petals are bearded. The re­ maining petal is called tbe lower petal | ■ ’and it la so different from the rest that • . one feels ft ought to set off from the others, as It is, that it is a sort of odd one in the petal group. If you will carefully remove this lower petal from the flower, tearing it as little as dos­ ' tiDle, you will see that indeed it is an “odd one” for instead of being flat and roanci ng m the other petals are it is long and project* behind lhe flower in the form of a blunt tube.

Arthur Trott, forming a fitting prelude to the ser­ vices of the following day. Monday forenoon the post marcbed to the cemetery where the sacred and solemn duty of honoring the graves of .their dead was performed by the vet­ erans. Every year this duty takes long­ er, there are many new mounds to vis­ it and decorate and the number is growing in a constantly Increasing ra­ tio. Every year the band of gray haired men in blue is smaller, as it wends its solemn way to the city of the dead, tenderlyiand faithfully to perform its labor of love and patriotism. At two o'clock the citizens and vet­ erans assembled at the grand stand on the fair grounds, the latter led by fife and drum, to hear the program of speaking and music. Post Commander Wm. Ream presid­ ed, reading the impressive words Of opening from the ritual of the grand army. Prayer was offered by Rev. S. B. Crandall after which Mrs. Burch sang an appropriate selection. Lin­ coln's Gettysburg oration was than read by Mr. Crandall, and Miss Vinnle Ream then gave one of her pleasing and effec­ tive readings. Mr. Lee H. Pryor following with the address of the day. It was a thought­ ful, well expressed and well delivered oration, reflecting much credit upon the young attorney. He referred brief­ ly to the five wars which the American soldiers have fonght and paid a glow­ ing tribute to the brave men who saved the country in its hour of peril. Turning his attention to modern politi­ cal evils he made an earnest and elo­ quent plea for honesty in public life. At the close of Mr. Pryor’s address and after a solo by Mrs. Hams, it was announced that in response to the offer of Fitzgerald Post to give prizes to the pupils in oiir public school who should write the best essays appropriate to Memorial day, two young ladies had prepared essays which they would read, Miss Chrystal Barber and Miss May Smith. The judges selected to decide upon the merits of the productions were Rev. Mr. Crandall, Miss Anna Johnson and Lee Pryor. After the reading of the two essays, Mr. Pryor announced that although it waa difficult to decide between them, they bad awarded the first prize, 83.00 in money, to Mias Barber, and the sec­ ond, 82.00 to Miss Smith. The two articles are reproduced in full and are as follows: HISTORY OF THE GRAND A&MY OF THE REPUBLIC. Wbeh the Rebellion had been put down, many of the boys in blue re­ turned to find themselves in straight­ ened circumstances. Also many women whose sons and husbands did not re­ turn now suffered severely. To relieve in part the suffering of these poor people, Dr. B. F. Stephen­ son thought deeply, during the war, of a wiy in which he could join the boys in blue together after the conflict was over. In i860 he told his Idea to many of his army associates and a post was organized. A meeting of soldiers was called July 12, 1866, at Springfield, Ill. Representatives from all part? of the state were invited and were given the right to organize posts In their home communities. In less than six months 40,000 veterans had been enrolled, which shows how eager they all were to help in the good work. In 1809 there were 287.961 names enrolled. The only post existing outside of the United States is at Honolulu, Hawaiian I*tawds This is attached to the depart­ ment of California. The object of this order is to care for all the soldiers and the widows and mothers who lost their dear ones in the war. They have erected many soldiers’ and sailors' monuments; have built and en­ dowed orphan asylums in many states; soldiers buried in pauper graven have been reinterred, and no old soldier, widseries of life if ho will but make t wants known to the Grand Army.

Tokio, May 28.—By their great bat­ tle and the- capture of Kin-Chou and the forts around the city the Japanese have opened a free passageway to Dalny and Port Arthur, though afthe cost of thousands of soldiers. Official • dispatches received from the scene of Fr the engagement show that the battle was moat deadly for the Japanese as well as the Russians. s Kin-Chou itself was raptured easily, but when the Japanese tried to take ,u Nanshan hill, to the south, they were met with a withering cannon and rifle fire. Time and again the Japanese in­ fantry made rushes up the hill, each time being checked by the rain of bullets and shells from the Russian, stronghold. Dislodge the Russians. After hours of such heroic work the Japanese re-formed and stormed the . -crest of the hill. It took four hours more to dislodge the dogged defenders and gain possession of the ridge. . During the attack on Kin-Chou four Japanese gunboats in Kin-Chou bay shelled the Russian batteries and si­ lenced many of the enemy’s guns. They could not reach Nanshan hill, x however, owing to the height of the fortress, which the Russians regarded as impregnable and the key to the Kwang-Tung peninsula and Port Ar­ thur, holding as it did the narrow neck connecting the Leao-Tong and ’ Kwang-Tung peninsulas.

It is believed, how­ ever, the Japanese will capture Port Dalny at once and then concentrate for the assault on Port Arthur. The Japanese troops have awept all the Russians from their defensea weat of Talienwan bay. It is now Improb­ able that the latter will be capable of offering any further aeriouR read* tance in the territory north of Port Arthur. - . BIG FLOUR ^LL8 CLOgff DOWN | ; .

Daniel J. Campau, Who Opposed the Hearst Men, Will Head the Delegation. One of the best attended, most inter­ esting and enthusiastic state conven­ tions which the democrats of Michigan have held of latelyeare was held in De­ troit yesterday. True, there was a strong, sharp struggle between tbe Hearst forces and the anti-Hearst men, relative to sending an instructed delegation to St. Louis, and tbe latter, led by Daniel J. Campau won out. But the strife was a fair and good natured one leaving no sore spots, and the dele­ gates went home feeling new zeal for the united democracy of Michigan and the nation. Tbe following delegates at large to the St. Louis convention were chosen: D. J. Campau of Detroit, leader of the delegation and re-elected Michigan member of the national democratic committee, Thomas E. Barkworth of Jackson, chairman of the democratic state central committee, George D. Jackson of Bay county and John Power of Delta county. Alternate delegateeat-large are: Judge James Phelan of Detroit, Coy W. Hendry of Dowagiac, Hiram F. Hoyt of Muskegon and George W. Weadock of Saginaw. The following will be the delegates from the fourth congressional district: A. C. Himebaugh of Burr Oak, and Fred Collins of St. Joseph; alternates, Harry Wilhous of VanBuren and Wm. Howyman of Cass. Ringing resolutions were adopted in favor of primary reform and scoring tbe republican party for their highhanded conduct, extravagance and corruption. The Geo. P.

It will be hard for protectionists to torture this fact into an argument in favor of keeping up the present high . tariff rates. When our manufacturers are able to make their goods, ship them by rail and by steamship to Europe and then compete with the English, French, -Germans and Russians, in their home markets, and still have a margin of profit left, why do they need protection „ against so called foreign cheap labor. ■Surely, if they can do this there is no ■danger ef losing the home market. If ■the high duties on imported manufac­ tures were reduced what would hinder ■nir njanufacturers from continuing to Kold the" foreign market which they I have built up. Such a reduction might [ tower their profits at home, but it could not affect the prices which they are getting from their foreign customers.

When we look at the patient's nails, we see on each of them a distinct ridge, showing that the por­ tion of the nail which has grown since the. acute attack is much thinned out If a person has broken bls arm within eighteen months, the ridges on the nails of the hand of the affected arm may be seen, while they will be absent on the other hand. The more acute the iUneaa the sharper will, be the ridge. Extreme anxiety and mental depression have the same, effect on the nails as physical disease.

This will relieve the regular teachers, giving them time to do their high school work and their normal de­ । partment work and give them at least , one vacant period a day.

I wish to call especial attention to the condition of the library. The ref­ erence division is quite satisfactory, though a number of important books of reference might well be added, especi­ ally two or three new dictionaries. But the circulating division is in a very unsatisfactory condition, Of the 800 or more volumes fully one-half of them are either entirely worn out or need to be rebound. I have gone through the list, with the help of the librarian, and have prepared a list of such books as seem worth re-binding snd a list of such as need to he replaced with new books. The cost of replacing and re­ binding may be estimated at about 1100. Besides this there is a great need of adding new books. A great many of the standard works of modern litera­ ture for which there is a popular de­ mand are wanting. Five hundred dol­ lars might well be expended In making accessions to this important and valu­ able adjunct to our schools, but if that amount seems impracticable at present I would respectfully recommend that at least the full amount permitted by the charter without submitting the matter to the voters, that is to say, t300, be de­ voted to the library and I would sug­ gest that it would be well to ask some one or two citizens who are In touch with the beat and most attractive liter­ ature to co-operate with the library committee In selecting new books. The responsibility of performing this task is really great, as the influeace upon oui boys and girls of the books they read is almost incalculable. ADDITIONAL TEACHER FOR HIGH The growth of the high school work, the expansion of the course of study to conform with the standards of the best high schools of the day and especially the establishment of the normal train­ ing department make It almoat Impera­ tive that additional teaching force be much need of some new books. I would suggest that the committee on text books take up this matter before the opening of next term and provide two or three series of primers, and first and second readers for the use of the pri­ mary department. The undertaking last fall of holding an exhibition of high grade pictures and with the proceeds purchasing suit­ able copies of such pictures for the walls of our school rooms was such a gratifying success that I am constrained to hope that the effort to place the best in art before our children will bean in­ spiration to follow up the good work hereafter. We can do our young peo­ ple a lasting kindness by surrounding them with thoee influences which en­ noble and enrich their minds. Let the masterpiece of a Michael Angelo, a Raphael or a Millet be placed in front of children where they must look upon it from day to day, and they will, even unconsciously, imbibe something of in­ spiration and receive and impress that will go with them throughout their whole lives. I would also suggest that the super­ intendent's office be given attention. If it could be papered, and carpeted, with new curtains at the windows, and also furnished with a new table and additional facilities for filing papers and records I am sure my successor would appreciate the improvement and not feel ashamed to receive visitors in his office. It is often important to make a good impression on visitors, a result that can hardly be attained, I fear, by the present condition of the CHANGES IN HIGH SCHOOL COURSES. During the last two years several changes have been made in the high school courses of study, io order to make them conform to the require, meats of the University and meet the The following Children’s Day pro­ gram will be given at the Presbyterian church, Sunday morning, June 12th, at 10:30.

The Parker Movement. “The effect of the Parker movement upon the Democracy of South Carolina to not an isolated case. To a greater or less extent it has had that influence upon the Democracy io every part of the United States. Things do not hap­ pen without reasons; and there is a very simple and logical reason for this. The first mention of Judge Parker's name, mouths ago, grew out of the realization that it to necessary for all democrats everywhere to unite upon some con­ servative candidate. The rapid con­ centration of all democratic forces, in the important States, upon the New Yorker was evidence that in tbe esti­ mation of the rank and file of the party all over the country Parker was tbe man upon whom all could get together. And where this popular sentiment has been left free to express Iteelf by the politicians, as in tbe case of South Car­ olina, the result has always been either an instructed delegation or the selec­ tion of delegates who favor Parker either as the first choice or as the sec­ ond choice after a complimentary bal­ lot shall have been given to some u,avorite son.”—Atlanta Journal.

He wa* ■ perfect automaton, to wnom the music meant as little as it meant to tbe piano. Suddenly, at the clo«e of one of the aonga, he turned away and dropped heavily into a chair. ' Il’a time to go to bed,” said Mr. Greer, ■hutting tbe case of hla big watch with a loud snap. “Ring the bell. Ormond, like a good fellow. You can reach it." Ormond seemed to awake with a start, as from a bad dream. He touched the bell and then resumed his seat. Through­ out the absurd, familiar scene that fol­ lowed he watched Mr. Greer with eyee like two burning coala ‘ A servant entered with a small tray upon which were four very’ beautiful goblais and a silver pitcher containing pure water. When these things had been set before him Mr. Greer took from hla pock­ et a gold box. The lid flew back as he pressed the spring. “Will you join me tonight, Ormond?" said he. “No? Nor you. Jack? Gladys, my Bear, allow me to persuade you? Really, you children don’t know what’s good. I have plenty," he continued, with *■ laugh. "I filled the box today. To­ night’s nightcap and nineteen more are here. It has no more medicinal quality than Adam's ale, as anybody can see by reading our circular, and yet I don't be­ lieve that I could sleep without it." . Ho filled ono of the goblets with water and dropped Into It a bronse hued tablet about the slve of a five cent piece, which he took from the box. It dissolved with amaaing suddenness, filling the water with bubbles and Imparting to it the color of Cle amber. In fact, a keen eye would ve been needed to rilatinguish this fraudulent liquor from champagne, nnd I am assured that there are palates which detect a dose similarity. “I have given to the world a true temperance drink." acid Mr. Greer. "AMlsts the stomach; doesn’t harm the brain. This is my luck,” he continued, raising the delicate crystal in which the myriad bubble* rose with a faint tinkling, "and the luck of every man who drinks It and lets stronger drink alone. It has made one man rich; it will make no man poor. Gladys, my dear, your health!” He drained the glass, not at a draft, but with prolonged enjoyment, and set It down. The servant removed the tray with one moist goblet and three dry, as always, for it was an unvarying joke to offer "Greer’s nectar" to us. These ridiculous tablets are the founda­ tion of uncle's great fortune. He was a poor man when he Invented them. They have had an enormous sale in many lands, and several factories are always b isy with the making of them. Mr. Greer, who could fill hla cellars with the choicest product of the vine, limits hla drinking to this chemical imposture. I am convinced that he really likes It, though he never overindulges. One glass before retiring is his very moderate allowance, and the taking of It has long been attended with such mock solemnity as I have just Jeacribed. The gold box for the tablets was a fan­ cy of Gladys’. She gave It to him as a Christmas present He had used a cheap silver plated box of hla own purchasing before that time, but he would never car­ ry it afterward. It was put away with the twenty tablets which it happened to contain at the time, and my uncle’s valet was sent acroas town to the factory on a Christmas day for a fresh supply in hon­ or of tho little golden casket. Mr. Greer always held it precious. The breast pocket of his ample waistcoat Is Its dwelling place. Upon this evening I thought he put it away with an especial­ ly caressing gesture. Then he kissed Gladys upon the red gold curls above her temples, a kiss upon each side, as has been his custom since she was a child. God help her! She is only a child now. Shall she not have her youth and the roses of romance whatever thorns they hide? When Mr. Greer had withdrawn to hla repose I found myself alone with <Gladya. Ormond had left the room, I know not how, but there wa* something in the si­ lence and th* mystery of it that Inspired me with a foolish alarm. My nerves were Wh In % laffe easy chair sat the man rBom we all called uncle, though he We that relattonablp to none of us.

He waved left hand gently toward me a* a AJfcrnlng to be quiet, while hla right, with the fat forefinger pointing toward tbe girl, continued to beat time some.what laboriously. 'He never cared what Gladys played, 4, enjoying all kinds of music equally, so *’ r 1 [ r,' r]ong ■* her bands evoked,it from the instroment. I have seen him lit and smile and smile like a great cotnic wax doll and beat time contentedly to a nocturne of Chopin'* flt to make the soul weep in one's body. And when It would be over he would slap down his fat pa'm hard upon tbe arm of the chair and say it was * good tune, a pretty tun*, and nobody •Ise but Gladys could play it a* It ought to be played. Then *h* would laugh at him and tea«e him with chords and dlscord* which he couldn’t tell apart, but he would be pleaded to think that she was ’ teaching him. and tears of Joy would , 7 come Into hi* eye*. L On this particular occasion the girl was wrapped np in music and the man Ln that » crude, half childish happtoea* whldi , presence always yielded him. I slunk Into a chair and viewed this homely and fa­ ' j miliar spectacle with horror, as I had not '• failed to do since the day when, with an I.'- absurd frankness which he himself was r. V far from intending. Mr. Grow bad revsnl^*‘*d bta hope* to all of u*.

Then I changed the contents of the two nnd replaced the gold box with Ita now harmlexx tablets In my uncle’s pocket. The silver box, In which there must now be one tablet poisoned by Ormond. I re­ stored to the desk, first breaking the spring of the lid so that it could not be opened. By thia stratagem I had preserved Mr. Greer from any further danger during nineteen days, and I had prepared a long punishment for the assassin. Every even­ ing he must watch what he would think to be a game of chance, with denth and his own soul a* the stake. He could not know whether the poisoned tablet would be used the first evening or the nine­ teenth. He would have to wait for It in horror. I wonder how many years were crowded Into thoee nineteen days for Ormond. He grew haggn^, and his flaming eyes sank farther IntoHfcla head. Mr. Greer often ■poke of his altered looks, suggesting rest weeks In the woods with dogs and gun. But Ormond had forged hl* own chain. As for me. I found a mad fascination In watching him every evening; seeing him more pallid, mare shaken, more bitterly determined to preserve that self control which wa* slowly slipping away from him. Toward the Inst, when there re­ mained but few of the tablets, so that to him no doubt. It seemed an Incredible and personally vindictive chance which ruled the matter, I often thought that he would spring to his feet and shriek ■loud ns my uncle raised tbe goblet tohis Ups. And on the evening when there re­ mained but two: How shall I describe the tension of that scene? It seomed to me that the blindness of my uncle and Gladys was beyond belief, yet the world Is full of such blindness. "Only two more tonight.” said my un­ cle. opening the box. "Shan’t we finish them? Gladys, my child, join me tonight. Come; I Insist." He fillet! two glasses, and I saw Ormond grip the arms of his chair. Gladys seem­ ed to detect an unusual earnestness In Mr. Greer's tone. She looked at him quickly and then laughed. ”1 fear acquiring the fatal nppetlte," she said, "nnd yet this once 1 will accept the risk." Mr. Greer dropped a tablet into each of the goblets, and he raised hla own. Or­ mond'* head was rocking upon his spine. I could see the beads of the sweat of ag­ ony shine upon his forehead. He seemed to be striving to rise from his chair, to ■peak, to lift his arm in a gesture of warning, but fear held him by the throat. "Pitiful coward!" I cried, springing to my feet. "This Is unbearable. Would you risk her life?" My uncle paused with the goblet at hl* lips. In fact, he had already drunk, though Gladys had not. They both stared at me. but neither found words. Ormond sprang forward to the table by which they were standing. He leaned heavily upon it. and his eyes were burn­ ing a question into mine. "I know the whole truth." said L "Will you deny ft? Then I defy you to drink from that glass." I pointed to the one which Gladys had set down. A terrible shudder passed over Ormond's frame, nnd the expression of his face wholly changed so that he looked more like the Ormond of old days. “It's the best way," he said quite calm­ ly. "God forgive me!” He raised the glass to his lips and draln- Mr. Greer was looking at him with a ■trance expression. and hi* vole* wa* choked a* with grief when he spoke. "It won’t hurt you, Ormond,” he said. ••I took ’em all out. 1 was awake the night when you came into my room and stole the box. I was awake when you brought It back. I knew what you had done—that you’d poisoned one or more of the tablet* because—well, because of Glad­ ys. I knew It. nnd what should I do about it? That wa* the question. “Well, it was too much for a plain man like me." he added. “I see that now. I should have taken advice. But it seemed know By. I fancy," "Between whom?" she B*k*d, smiling. And then with a tar different manner: “I will not pretend that I do not know what you mean. I am going to tell you a se­ cret which Is between ourselves absolute­ ly. Uncle Henry want* me to marry him, and I shall do It—it I can. I love him. Who could help it? He 1* a very noble, steadfast, honors bl* man." "Let us pretend that It la secret." aha will not mention it oven to each other. Good night." I remained alone In th* room. Present­ ly a servant entered and put out th* light*, not perceiving me. foe I had walk­ ed to a window and wa* shielded by on* of the long and heavy curtains. When the man had gone I flung myself into a great chair and lost al! track of time in the depth of my meditation. The opening of the outer door startled me. I heard a stealthy step In the hall, and. turning, I saw Loren, my uncle'* valet. He had taken some late excursion without leave and wa* stealing in secret­ ly. There wa* no harm in th!* fellow, and so I *hut my eyes to hi* little mystery. Ten minute* later I followed him up the To my surprise, Loren was loitering near the door of my room. As I was about to speak Co him. be made a gesture of caution and then passed into the apart­ ment ahead of me. "I don't quite know what to make of It. minute* ago. and I saw Mr. Ormond com­ ing out of Mr. Greer"* room. He didn't see me, sir, for I stepped out of his way. but he passed quite close, and I saw that be had that gold box Ln his hand." "Go on,” said I, seeing that ha had more to telL “I looked into bls room, through tho keyhole.” continued Loren. “He had tak­ en the little tablets out of the box and seemed to be painting ono of them. sir. with a brush no bigger than a match that he dipped into a bit of a glass saucer like ■ watch crystal. Then he put them all buck—the one that he had painted with ths others. What do you make of it. _. “I make this of it.” said I. “that you must not repeat one word of this story to any one. You have done right to tell me, but y*u must tell nobody else.” I had some slight hold upon the man and his liking beside*, as he had let me know. and so I got a promise from him which could be relied upon. After that I •ent him to bed and kept watch in tha hall until I saw Ormond, pale, tremulous, unstaady, creep tc my unde’* room beartog th* little gold box. An hour afterward L too. crept softly tn. having made a plan meanwhile. Mr. Greer slept heavily, and after the first few minute* I moved about his room Without constraint The gold box was tn Its ptace, and I found also the old silver *e to a drawer, of hl* desk. I took an* to me that the one thing that could help you, Ormond, was confession, genuine penitence and confession. 1 believed that if you could be brought to fall upon your knees and own this sin. to cost It’away from you of your own will, because you had been taught by burning sorrow that thought that that wduld be the best; that it might change the ven’ heart in your bosom. But all's gone wrong now. Gladys, dear." he said, turning suddenly to her, "don’t you think you'd better leave us men to work this out alone? I never meant that you should bear this Irene. But Jack's knowing the secret spoiled my plan. Oh. Jack. Jack, what does it mean that you know of this?” "It means death!" I cried. "When did you take those tablets out of the gold box?" “Right away,” he replied. "I got up and took nineteen of ’em out of the silver box’’— "And I put them back agnin!” I groan­ ed. “Incredible chance! 1 put them back again!” "You?” exclaimed Mr. Greer, falling to understand. "Why should you do It? Did you wish my denth? You hadn't any rea­ son. Gladys Is not for me. She loves you. I was a fool not to see it. But after this dreadful thing happened I asked her for the honest truth, and the dear child told me. I’ve tried to do ray best for all of you. I’ve tried to make you all-love me”— His vole* broke in sobs. "Uncle, it was to save you!” I exciaimed. “Loren told me. He saw Ormond take the gold box. And then the same plan came to me as to you—to change the contents of th* boxes and try whether Ormond could really carry his murderous purpose through to the end. And so I put the poisoned tablet back. It was in that *!as*-or tn yours!” Mr. Greer turned hastily toward Gladys, Mixing her hand to lead her toward the’ loor. At this moment Ormond raised his hand to his throat, uttered-a choking cry and fell dead at our feet IWOMAN'S’; .WORLD J MRS. F. E. BRITTEN. Mrs. F. E.

The early cry which is painfully try­ ing to some young mothers, especially to a nervous one, becomes less dis­ tressing If she stops to think that the lungs, never having been used, need ex­ ercise in order to make them strong. For tbe first three months tbe infant Is too weak, even with a fair amount of crying, to develop the lungs more than one-third their normal capacity, and that these organs cannot be considered perfect until they are infinted to tbelr utmost Is enough to make her tolerant of a fair allowance of crying. A year of simple breathing would not accom­ plish a* much toward developing the lungs as a moderate amount of crying each day for a month. It Is the deep inhalation, such as accompanies a good cry, which alone can make the lungs strong. Healthy infants cry normally, and they should be allowed to do so a portion of each day. When the cry 1* whining or continuous, it is usually caused by overindulgenee of some kind or by mistakes such as handling tbe baby when lie is more comfortable left alone. Too much entertai nlug causes nervousness and cold extremities, which make necessary too many wraps, ar too hot a room; this results In dis­ comfort and weakness anil lack of fresh air. Sleeping In a bed with older persons is bad for a baby: it draw* upon the vitality. Indigestion Is never natural; it is caused by overfeeding or Improper feeding.—Marianna Wheeler in Harper's Bazar. All extremely pretty bedspread la made by taking a new linen sheet and with a dinner plate and small dessert plate or saucer muklug intersected cir­ cles with u hard lead pencil ut regular Intervals over the spread. When this is done the foundation lines are made for a pretty design of wreaths, on which it is easy to draw flowers or leaves. One wreath of wild roses on another of daisies has a good effect. Tbe smaller circle of green leaves and the larger of any simple flower Is a good Idea. When tbe flowers have been sketched, stain them tbe color desired with a fast dye. There are several dyes that will stand careful washing—violet ink or red Ink. for In­ the stance. After ‘ ‘ designs have been stained outline them with single _ zephyr worsted, which washes admir­ ably. Wash silk is pretty and dainty, but It Is not so effective nnd takes more time. The easiest outline stitch is to sew a round the design with sim­ ple running stitch nnd then, going over it again, catch each stitch in over and over fashion.

Invaluable in their prop­ er place, it is only when beef tea, mut­ ton broth, chicken and clam broth are mistaken for real food that they be­ come dangerous and a source of posi­ tive disaster. Clear animal broth or beef ten means starvation for the sick. The albumen of meats is burdened by hot water and either remains in the meat itself or In tbe form of scum is skimmed off tbe top of the infusion. The water takes up the flavoring prin­ ciple and a small portion of other ma­ teria), but is devoid of the nutriment commonly supposed to be dissolved by it—Harper's Bazar. For a Hinn 11, narrow hail a young ma­ tron has designed a coat and hat rack that la perfect in ita way. It la simply an enlarged roller towel rack made of heavy wood and long enough to hold several coats snugly. The carpenter has fixed it firmly to the wall, opposite the dcor and about five feet from the floor, and It is filled with a sufficient number of brass hooks. This arrange­ ment takes up little space and leave* room for pictures and a little mission table, with a middle shelf for those who would rather put their bats down than hang them up—and women's hats will not hang, except on the floor. Children's Night OoUim, Many mothers and nurses who are careful to supply tbe growing children with garments of sufficient sirj^for day wear are careless as to the St of the night clothes. This is a serious error. Considering the attitudes which chil­ dren assume during sleep, It should be clear to all that anything which cramps tbe chest and limbs is detri­ mental to free breathing and growth. A tight collar band is especially harm­ ful and, in fact, dangerous. It should lie remembered also that there is greater warmth from loose than from tight clothing. Why adhere to the common yellow ' or, worse, brown bowl, when doing your own housework, when for the same price you can get pretty German or Chinese ware, having the additional merit of being so well glazed they are impervious to grease, yet strong enough to stand the "beating" of various mix­ tures? Why not have attractive ware for the common, everyday service, nnd not starve your lore of tbe aesthetic by using ugly utensils, especially when pretty ones cost no more? “A broom for every place and every broom In It* place" is a good motto to instill in the housemaid. By taking care not to use tbe broom intended for the kitchen floor on the Persian rug or Wilton carpet tbe natural life and beauty of tbe floor coverings will be preserved. Put a screw hook in tbe top of each broom handle, and have a peg to hang it on, above which is writ­ ten the name of the room or hall for which it is to be used, and insist that it be replaced after using.

Editor and Proprietor. A Satisfactory Convention. It is with no small degree of satisfac­ tion that the Herald is able to speak of the action of the democratic state convention at Detroit last week, for that action was just such as we have been urging that it ought to take. Notwith­ standing the strenuous efforts of Mr. Hearst’s agents to stampede Michigan for the New York journalist, the con­ vention refused to be hypnotized, but wisely decided to send an unlustructed delegation tn St. Louis. Furthermore tbe proceedings were marked by a sanity and farsightedness that presages a united and vigorous democracy in the coming campaign. Although the Hearst forces were beaten in every point there does not seem to have been eft any after effects of bitterness and resentment. Having done what they could for their favorite and lost, there is good reason to believe they will ac­ cept the result gracefully and hereafter be found fighting loyally for the com­ mon cause of democratic success. The convention also showed good judgment In declining to make a full and specific declaration of principles on national issues, leaving that im­ portant duty for the national conven­ tion to perform. It was eminently fitting however, that, the democrats of Michigan should express themselves in the dear and emphatic manner in which they did on the pressing state issue of primary election reform. If the people of Michigan really want this reform they must look to the party that really means what it says in its conventions. But if the convention declined to commit tbe democracy of the state to any one candidate, it took such ac­ tion as will make its delegation at St. Louis influential, by empowering it to act as a unit on the floor of tbe conven­ tion. Michigan will thus be able to make herself felt Ln the councils of tbe party, possibly to wield a deciding in­ fluence upon the policies that will there be adopted. On tbe whole, therefore, the course pursued at the Detroit convention is to be regarded with great satisfaction by every sincere friend of democracy in the state. os a unit for his re-election to the na­ tional committee: and he was given an ovation by the convention. Mr. Campau therefore is to be most heartily congratulated on the complete vindication of his position, and upon his successful effort to place Michigan's democracy in an exceptionally favor­ able position. As a result of his manly stand the democrats of this machineridden state are prepared to enter up­ on next fall’s campaign, united on na­ tional issues and not without hope of redeeming the state from the misrule into which republican administrations, have plunged Lt.

THE PILGRIM, Battle Creek, Michigan, Wash incton Letter. (Frau Our Regular Correa pun deuu) Washington, D. C., June 4, HMM. I called at the congressional demo­ cratic headquarters this morning to spy out the “lay of tbe land.” Senator Jones has gone to Arkansas for a fort­ night, leaving Representative Cowherd of Missouri in command, Senator Gor­ man steps over every day or two from Maryland. Representative Vandiver was here Wednesday but he had to hurry to look after his particular pro­ tege, Folk, whose enthusiastic approval by the people of Missouri Is the talk of the day. Culbertson of Texas is here, quite unafraid of any hurricane in his state. Houston, the single member from Delaware, elected because of a republican split, is also at headquarters. Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, has just been here and Broussard of Louisiana. Cowherd says there are forty close districts th is year, estimating as “close” any district which would be changed by the transfer of a thousand votes. Seven of these are in Missouri. It is believed that Folk’s run for governor will pull through ail imperilled demo­ crats and give us at least one more member from the state. Some three or four of the doubtfuls are in Illinois, but the republican scrimmage there will be likely to settle them. I met Martin Emerich, democratic representative from Chicago yesterday. His is a close district, but he very likely will get In again, for he is sublime past master, worshipful grand mogul and royal high priest of more fraternal so­ cieties than any other man in America. He said with a laugh "I am not terri­ fied at tbe state of things in Spring­ field one bit. I shall not weep if they keep it up. Isn’t it funny, though, about Cannon? Republicans think that if they could make him run for vice-president, senator, governor and speaker, they would carry the state.” At headquarters your correspondent ran against Col. Herbert, President Cleveland’s secretary of the navy. I asked him what it looked like. * He said “Parker this morning, and he evidently measures up to tbe position. I have no doubt, however, that Cleve­ land would be elected if he were nomi­ nated—though there is no reason on earth why he should want it. A tariff so high as to be robbery has debauched the entire country. Look at the reSublican clamor for ship subsidies. ine would think that Jim Hill’s dismal experience as confessed by himself would be enough to put a stop to it. Haven’t the farmers of the United Stales a right to send their crops to foreign markets by tbe cheapest possi­ ble mode of conveyance? Are they criminals that they should be held up and plundered and punished?” Secretary Shaw In his annual report to congress last December announced that there would be a surplus of 814,­ 000,000 in tbe treasury on July 1. It is now obvious that tbe secretary was dreaming about wbat ought to be, in­ stead of declaring what would be. At any rate, be got within sixty-six million dollars of it, for it seems certain that tbe deficit will be fifty million dollars. Tbe receipts have fallen off seventeen million dollars in a year and the expenditures for ordinary purposes have increased about twenty-two mil­ lion dollars. Including tbe Panama and St. Louis expenditures, the dis­ bursements are seveuty-five million dollars more than a year ago. In other words, tbe nation is heavily in debt, and is going down hill at a smart pace. When the democrats inaugurate their president next March the outset party will of course shout, “We have handed to you an overflowing treasury, and now you are squandering the nation’a wealth and bringing on hard times!” If every voter will stack this paragraph in his bat, he will be able to show in a moment which party it is that under the bewildering boast of “prosperity!” has dragged the nation to the brink of bankruptcy. Some very lively word slinging is be­ ing indulged in by R. H. Pratt, super­ intendent of the Carlisle school, and W. J. McGee, the chief American etbnologist of the country and now in charge of Indian affairs at St. Louis. Pratt says (virtually) that ethnologists are doing all they can u> keep Indians wild ana savage. McGee retorts “I brand your statement as wholly false and deem you a pusillanimous slander­ er.” Pratt rejoins that McGee is “pet­ ulant and puerile” and then he sneers at ethnologists’ “alleged discoveries of alleged hindering, indurated complex­ ities of Indian life.” If tbe learned combatants continue to hurl these elab­ orate and abstruse neologisms at each other. Sagamore Pratt may have to go into the Indian hospital for daodalion incurables and Dr. Anita Newcomb Mc­ Gee return from the siege of Port Arthur to nurse the stricken member of her family. The missiles may not stick, however; it is certain that they will not slick as adhesively as if com­ posed of tbe fuscous compound which the geological survey, in one of its in­ spired moments, has alluded toas “that finely comminuted and thoroughly lix­ iviated substance which is called mud.” A Panama canal is an expensive lux­ ury. The plates are now being preE&red at tbe printing and engraving ureau of the treasury department for the issue of Panama canal bonds amounting to <130,000,000 authorized by congress. They will bear tbe por­ trait of the late Senator Hanna in grateful recognition of bis service in getting the canal treaty through, and of his method of getting into tho sen­ ate. When congress meets again the secretary will ask that they be render­ ed un lax able and bo called “consols”— this last, of course, being a delicate toadyism--refined incense at the foot of the British throne. These bonds are not to be issued immediately; the seeretary only wants the plates ready to pass when it is necessary to take up the collection. Just before the supreme court dis­ solved for the summer it decided the case of Dorr and O’Brien of Manila. They were convicted and sentenced for libel and were denied tbe right of a jury trial, though they were American born and reared. Five of the court confirmed that verdict; four opposed it. Justice Harlan held chat the Philip­ pines were part of the United States; that tbe constitution extended to those islands, and that the right of a jury trial was a fundamental right and could not be taken away by congress. He declared that an amendment of the constitution extended to those islands, and that the right of a jury trial was a fundamental right and could not be taken away by congress. He declared that an amendment of the constitution by the supreme court was a most dange-ous step leading unseen perils. State of Ohio. City of Toledo. I Lucan. County. fM Frank S.

My own candidacy la of no moment ex-1 cept as it bears upon the greater ques­ tion of whether the Democratic party shall be dominated by that element which does not look beyond the offices or whether what 1 have been pleased to term ‘progressive Democracy’ shall prevail." In these words William Randolph Hearst discussed his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomina­ tion. It has been rumored if Mr. Hearst should not be nominated he would bolt tbe ticket and platform. An editorial in his newspaper lent color to this, but Mr. Hearst denied emphatically that the popular con­ struction placed upon the editorial wm in accord with the meaning t» wm intended to convey and answered' a question relating to his intentions about bolting by saying: “I am a loyal enough Democrat not to have to be bribed Into supportln tbe nominee* and platform of m, party. Politicians and conventions do not make tbe issues of a political cam­ paign. They may write the party’s platforms, but issues are the things that directly and seriously affect the interests of the masses of tbe people, and these axe too frequently Ignored by both politicians and conventions. The moment, I believe, is ripe for the advent of the progressive Detx^ocnoy, which shall go to the people m a sincere advocate of an honest Isens, entirely disregarding tbe things that are ordinarily held out M issues. "In my opinton the one preponder­ ating issue In the campaign this year is that which Is created by the trusts, which grows out of the exactions practiced by those trusts that seek to create monopolies in the necessities of life, and out of he depredations of ths purely speculative trusts."

Disloyalty in any form lowers our re­ spect for self, and makes us less a man, andjtherefore less a knight. Our order, grand us it is, ennobling as are its aims, ought to grow into a body of men that will not only be loyal, but will have practiced such pure loy­ alty and purposes that a man must he better to have been one of its members. The influence for each member should be for good, for purity, for high and no­ ble aims. My brothers I am not intending to censure or criticise. I am speaking generally along Hues with which each of us are familiar. The suggestions that I make are in many ways applicable to myself. When 1 take a census of the element? I have which go to make up a strong man. a Christian Knight, I find myself wonder­ fully lacking in many essentials, but I am determined so far as I can to rem­ edy them, to make myself more worthy of the name I bear as a member of this order, and I (know it cannot be done without a due and proper regard for the underlying principles, upon which the order must rest to be lusting, and to be helpful to man's inner self. And so I ask you as we are here together to measure up each for himself bis value as a Knight, as a man, and let us be as honest with ourselves, and as just, and as exacting as we would were we sit­ ting in judgment upon the qualities of sone one else. The members of this order take a prominent part in the affairs of their respective localities. Wijat shall be their attitude regarding the great ques­ tions before the country? In the very nature of things, and os mankind is constituted, there will be, and must be grave differences of opinions regarding many very important matters which pertain to the country at large, to tbe state, and locally. ' Our surroundings, our education, or want of it, change very materially the views we have. We differ in the science of government. We are not in unison regarding the fundamental elements of a Christian faith. All these things are accounted for, cannot be helped, and it is probable are with­ in proper limits, in tbe best interests of the country and its Christian insti­ tutions. There are however, certain things in which all good citizens should be in un­ ison, about which there should be no dissension, whatever our political faith, whatever our religious belief may be, or whether we have any. We should demand from every man absolute loyalty to his country and the flag, and in private or public life, abso­ lute honesty, and 1 believe if we are well grounded in the fundamentals I have suggested, and do cot stand for them because others do, but because we believe in them we shall have those el­ ements sufficient to meet any test that may come to us. If, however, we are superficial, or if there is within us those elements that are retarding our growth, hindering our advancement, we may fill a book full of vows and promises, may utter in speech the most loyal sentiments, we may try to think we are guided by cor­ rect principles, we may raise the stand­ ard as high as we please, we do not grow, ana we cannot grow, because within us are the elements that are in­ consistent with tbe principle we stand for and profess. I tell you my brothers, there is more in this than we are many times willing to admit. If we are not growing broad, generous and unselfish, if we are not measuring up what we each feel we ought, if we are not satisfied with the growth we are making, will it not be wise to have an accounting with our­ selves, to take the census of our quali­ ties, and see what stock we have on hand upon which we can realize, and which we cun use as assets to meet the responsibilities which are hourly crowd­ ing upon us, and if in this examination, we find elements which are worthless, as we will, elements which are worse than worthless because of their innate wrong and wickedness, as we may, let us pray God. as did David of old, to cre­ ate in us a clean heart, and renew with­ in us a right spirit. When a man becomes a Knight he has greater responsibilities to carry than before. . He has taken upon himself obliga­ tions of binding force, each of which, if he keeps within his heart as sacredly as he tries to openly, will make him more manly, more Christlike. It will make him less selfish and more in the nature of according toothers their just rights, and if be is not doing that, he is not living up to his pledge. If be remembers and observes his ob­ ligations, it will make him a better man in bis family, and if he is not a good man there it is because he is not a true knight, because, notwithstand­ ing his pledge before tbe altar and the open biole. notwithstanding tbe fact that be calls upon God to witness his vows, something somewhere is lacking, and instead of getting help and strength and growth in right direc­ tions, his tendency Is the other way. He brings weakness to himself and to tbe order which often ends in disgrace and ruin, and all because of a neglect, sometimes thoughtless, sometimes wil­ ful, to think seriously and honestly of the duty he owes to the order and to others and to himself. My brothers, if you are doing from day to day those things which make those about you, your family, less happy, if you are depriving them of the elements of your nature which belong to them to satisfy or gratify some ele­ ment of your selfish nature, if you are taking from tboee dependent on you in any way in those things, which, if given them, would add to their comfort and happiness, and the withholding of which brings hunger and cold, and want of warmth to heart and soul as well as body and mind, you are as surelv violating your obligation as you would to write the unwritten work of the order on paper and give it to the world. My brothers a year ago we were on this sacred spot, in this garden of sleep, and were helped by the eloquent words of our Brother Walker. He paid a splendid tribute to those who bad gone from us during the year, and there were four of them. Since that time our circle has not been broken, and I am not called upon to speak of any who hare left us since our last solemn service in memory of those gone before, and can only speak of death generally. We shrink from death, we cannot think of it with pleasure, when we are well and strong, but the kind Father, in most instance, prepares us for it. Pain and trouble and sorrow has made many a one welcome it as a sweet relief. As we go down toward life's west window I am impressed that we natur­ ally change in our views of death. It Ims been said that: "Death Is not the result of man’s bad choice. It comes from some ordering of nature. Some artist whose heart is pure, and whose trust tn God is unwavering, must paint a new portrait of this friend of man. Its symbol will not be scythe, nor dart nor hour-glass. It may'rather be a book, with only one great page read; or a harp only rising to iu sweetest notes. Clothed in richest drapery, on its head may be a garland of flowers: iu forehead touched by sunbeams; and iu lips parted that it may whisper im­ morality.” Looking at it iu that light, and why should we uot. may it not become to us a condition which we will not shrink from, but which will be accepted as the advent of a friend. On an occasion like this when we meet in memory of the sainted dead, can we keep our minds from thesceneof that Easter morning, when women came to the tomb with their spices and ointments, when the disciples and fol­ lowers of Jesus were in their night of gloom, and although they knew it not, yet bad He risen, and that that seemed death, was but a new life. How can we have comfort or give comfort in the time of death excepi we believe fully these teachings of the Savior, and how cun we honor them, or ourselves, except we make them tbe l>asis of our knighthood in fact? Shall we not, my brother, go from this service with loyalty to the teneu of our order increased? Shall we not renew our fealty and friendship, and resolve that whatever others around us may be, or whatever others may do, we will live such lives that if our circle is broken, if a brother is called from us, we cun stand by his resting place feel­ ing that we have loved him while here, and made that love a reality by our loyalty to him and our interest in his welfare. We are too apt to neglect the little comforting, helpful words that give so much of sunshine to those about us. We are sticklers for our own opin­ ion. We let our pride take tbe reins and drive whithersoever it will. We not only too many times, say the harsh, unkind word, but we omit to say tbe helpful word, or the .word of ap­ preciation we owe to so many about us. TO BREAK OCEAN RECORDS. Danish laveator Evolve* ■ JTew Idea la Ship Coaatracttoa. It would seem thnt tbe limit in tra . Atlantic speed records had been reach­ ed, yet a Danish Inventor, Carl Fllndt now comes forward with an inventioi: which, he claims, will enable tbe lar­ gest liners, like tbe Deutschland, tc cross to Europe hi three anti a half days. To accomplish this result Mr Fllndt purposes to build a boat with a sort of arched bottom, with two keels, in tbe catamaran style. In the pres­ ent method of building ocean vessels the screw propellers come out on encli side of the stern. Mr. Flindt’s pro pellers are farther up In tbe body of tbe boat and built In ridges formed by the twin keels, being part ot them. The advantage claimed for this com­ bination is twofold—first, on account of tbe position of the screws, being re moved from the stern, the suction which always follows a vessel, retard MODEL 8HOW1EG FLtNDT FKOFXX.LKM. ing her speed, will be carried off from the stern by the two keels; secondly, the propellers are rendered more pow­ erful because their diameter, and there­ fore grasp ou the water. Is greater. In every propeller now being used on steamships there Is a certain amount of lost power In the center of the whirling blades. An electric fan Is a form of propeller. It forces all out Instead of water. If you place your band In the center of an electric fan you will find that there is no air. The breeze comes from the outside edges of the blades. Mr. Fllndt, no­ ticing thia, set to work to obviate the “What silence we keep year after year. difficulty.

It was getting under way, when lhe Canada, making for Sorel at full speed, came into view. From statements given out, it would appear that the Cape Breton had not got headway on enough to answer Its rudder, and that it swerved across tbe path of the passenger boat, its bow striking the Canada just forward ot the paddle box on the stnrbo&rd side and tearing its way naif through. Then the Cape Breton swung clear and the two steamers came alongside one another. The Canada at once began to settle, and, as the Cape Breton did not appear to be seriously damaged, the passen­ gers were hurriedly transferred to this steamer. ABE DESTROYED Halifax.

Corn- Heinze, Clark, Moffit and Sullivan Are Ready to Join Hands With the Oil Magnate to Foster the Amalgama­ tion of Mineral Properties. New York, June 13.—Announcement will be made soon of a gigantic new combination of capital in the United States and Europe. It is nothing less than an amalgamation cf the valuable mines of America, and the man who la to consummate this stupendous trans­ action is John D. Rockefeller. Men who have some knowledge of tbe work now going on In furtherance of the plan say the corporation under which tbe big mining interests will be merged will have a par capital of $2,500,060,000. It Is expected to com trol absolutely the mineral output of the United States except, possibly, that of the Calumet and Hecla copper mines of Michigan. Mr. Rockefeller has taken up per­ sonally the task which had been left to his brother, William Rockefeller, and to H. H. Rogers, who have been conspicuously identified with tbe min­ eral interests of the Standard Oil company. For ten years the Standard Oil millionaires have been acquiring the mines of America through their banking interests. Control Rocky Mountain Mine*. In Colorado, David H Moffat and Dennis Sullivan of the First National bank of. Denver, have paid out many millions in the last six years for mines and control 70 per cent of the produc­ ing gold, silver and lead mines of tbe middle Rocky mountain district. In California, the Western mine own­ ing combination, controlled by the Haggln and affiliated interests, have been ready for some time to enter in­ to an agreement with Mr. Rockefeller. for a general combination ot mining properties. Senator W. A, Clark, owner of the United Verde copper mines of Arizona and with large holdings In many of the Amalgamated Copper company’s mines in Montana, has been working with Mr. Rogers for several years. Heinze in the Combine. F. A. Heinze, who has given the Standard Oil aud copper interests In Montana so much trouble, has been in this city for several weeks. He is negotiating direct with Mr. Rockefel­ ler for the turning over of his interest in Montana *'o the new combine. Senator Kearns of Utah has only recently sold to Mr. Rockefeller his valuable mines for something consid­ erably more than $1,900,000. In Ida­ ho the Standard Oil company has had control of the producing mines for some years. In New* Mexico the lead mines near the western border passed into control of the National City bank some years ago. and there are at the present time few mining districts in America where Mr. Rockefeller Is not dominant. In working out the deal Mr. Rocke­ feller hopes to be able to secure from the United States government a corps of engineers to give to the public a report on the actual value of the prop­ erties to be consolidated. Senator Kearns says he has no doubt that by Jan. 1, 1905, Mr. Rocke­ feller will be in a position to make the final move in bis long cherished plan.

Number Fast Decreasing, 142 Mem­ bers Having Passed Away During Year. ''I Tho Barry county pioneer societyheld ite 33rd annua) meeting in the city hall Saturday. The meeting was called to order at 10 o’clock by the president, D. R. Cook. After the singing of America and the i-eadingof the minutes of tbe previous meeting, the election of officers took place with the following result: President, D. R. Cook;, vice­ president, W. W. Hampton; secretary, Miss Rosella Goodyear; historian, Judge Clement Smith; executive committee, Mrs. Elizabeth Striker, Mrs. Margaret Bailey, Mrs. Hannah Barlow, Airs. Belle Burton. The meeting then ad­ journed until afternoon, thus giving the pioneers a chance for a social chat. The meeting was again called to or­ der at 1:90 o’clock. After prayer by Rev. 8. B. Crandall and a solo by Mrs. R. I. Hendershott, the president in a few'well chosen words welcomed the pioneers. He spoke of the happy by­ gone days and of the trials and priva­ tions they had undergone and ot how > much such meetings meant to them, > bringing them closer to one another as the circle each year decreased in num-i hers. | This was followed by the report of the historian, Judge Clement Smith, i who gave some figures which showed ■ the amazing rapidity with which the pioneers are passing away. During tbe past year a greater number than,ever before have passed away, the whole number of deaths being 142. Of this I number 5 were over 90 years of age, 37 over 80 years and 88 over 70 years. It wm a long list to read but wm listened to with the most intense interest by the large audience. “resident Cook then read his most interesting paper on the township of' Prairieville. Mr. Cook went back to the early history of the state, telling the audience some, rather surprising facts, one in particular in regard to Michigan being attached to Quebec and being named Hesse after the Hes­ sian soldiers. He spoke of the many changes in the boundaries and In the government down to tbe present time. Mr. Cook included a history of the Slat­ er mission in order to correct a preva­ lent idea that the mission was stationed in Gull Prairie while the fact is that it was located in Prairieville. He gave an interesting account of the Indians and the manner of teaching them adopt­ ed by Mr. Slater.

Not many moons ago quite a number of the patrons of rural routes running out of Dowling and Delton signed a pe­ tition which they supposed was for the express purpose of keeping Banfield postoffice intact. Later they discovered that they had signed their route away and would get their mail from Battle Creek via Banfield. This did not please some who had been getting their mail from Hastings via Dowling, so they endeavored to get their names off the petition but were informed that it was too late. Not wishing their mail de­ layed a day or more by changing their route, a remonstanee was circulated and all who signed the first and two more patrons signed It and it was eent to Washington Monday. Tbe buildings snd grounds commit­ tee of the school board have had under consideration for some time the matter of erecting a suitable building in the second ward, the present little struc­ ture being totally inadequate to the growing demand of that part of the city. At the meeting of the board * Monday night it was voted to erect a building at a cost not to exceed *4,000, provided the common council give iu approval. Consultation with a compet­ ent architect has shown that a very substantial, two room building of brick, can be erected, having all tbe desirable features of an. up-to-date school boose for the sum above mentioned. Mr. Osgood, a well known architect of Grand Rapids, has prepared such plsns and they are now on exhibition at the National bank. Wright Bros., Phone 30 HASTINGS, MICH. DRESS 600DS SALE »!

That, and a cool breeze, made the march a very pleasant one. After smiled contentedly at tbe plain, youthmarching some ten miles we entered tbe town of Santa Crux, one of the prettiest and busiest towns which we passed through. Everything seemed to be very prosperous there, as we saw many natives wearing shoes and stock­ ings, a sure sign in this country. Also the people are whiter here and of a more intellegent class, nearly all speak­ ing Spanish. It was early morning and the streets were crowded with pretty senoritas going and coming from mass, which is a universal custom here. They were not so devout but what many a shy glance was received by tbe Ameri* canoes. This day was the beginning of tbe end, the entire march being entire­ ly for practice. Tbe last two days were devoted to finding out just how much man and beast could stand in case of actual service and that an emergency should arise. We bad covered some twenty miles by noon when we entered tbe little town of Cslounge, dusty, thirsty and tired. We halted here just long enough to unsaddle, reverse tbe saddle blankets, take a refreshing bath of arms, face and neck in the cool stream which flows through tbe place, and to eat dinner but such a dinner, tbe "emergency ration” wblcb each of us carried in our saddle pockets, consists of a small tin can packed with a bran­ like mixture, supposed to be tbe compo­ nent parts of breao, meat and vege­ table.

They give a glory to the path behind and the hills ahead." “But they aren’t worth a cent close around,” said Stephen. "Rose mists aren’t worth a rap floating around one­ self when one Is busy living today. Seems to me I wouldn't want uny Illu­ sions around the one I loved best ei­ ther. And 1 don't think Marjorie would. Haworth's a splendid old chap. We've been friends for over ten years. He's given me many a hand grip over tough places In the first days when I was only a fresh kid fighting for a place In the crowd, and he's always the same. It may be monotonous, but it's mighty comforting. Perhaps after ton years even you might be glad to find a man unchanged." “Perhaps.” Bbe smiled bitterly, but bravely still. He looked Into her eyes Interestedly. “Honest, don't you care, Con?’ She hesitated. “Not us long as it Is Marjorie, and she will be happy." Her voice was low. “Of course one may still remem­ ber tbe prince of dreams when tbe dreams never came true." Stephen glanced nt the two beyond tbe yellow chrysanthemums. Haworth was looking at Constance, and Marjo­ rie's quick smile flashed on him for an Instant He bent toward Constance again and spoke slowly. "Haworth was up to my place last night, nnd we talked sense. No rose mists or dreams, Just plain sense. And I told, him that I was going to marry the dearest girl in tbe world if she’d liave me.” "Stephen!” Her face was radiant, her tone tender and maternal in its quick sympathy. "Pm so glad for you.” "If she’d have me,” repeated Stephen modestly. And Haworth opened up and told me a few things about a cer­ tain dearest girl whom he bad wanted to marry, but she wouldn't have him. He wasn’t bitter, you understand, or wearing crape for any dead hopes. He just told me. He doesn’t quite under­ stand why she gave him up, but be be­ lieves she loved him and that some day tbe world will seem lonesome and strange to ber. and the rose mists she cared foe will have faded.

You know what Broadway and Fifth avenue are from Thirtieth to Thirty-fifth street— tbe densest, noisiest place In tbe world. Yet I know a prominent Pittsburg man who, when be gets tired, slams down hie roll top desk, seines bls case and takes tbe train east. In New York be patronises a well known hotel much favored by Plttsburgers, asks for a room on the twelfth floor, aud If he gets it or one on tbe floor either above or below be is happy. Twelve floors up be la removed from tbe noise of tbs busy pavement below. So far as quie­ tude is concerned be might as well be in a country village. In the morning the bright sunshine steals in at his window, which overlooks tbe river and tbe docks below. At night tbe view Is one of enchantment, watching the ves­ sels moving to and fro, with their myriad of lights. And although there la gayety below In a dosen corners of that selfsame hotel no sound of it ever penetrates to bls quarters. But this is only one of the many possibilities of a very wonderful town.—Pittaburg Dis­ patch.

"Squar* Dawson, yo’ run mostly to co’n and mewls and are a busy man.” "Yes, colonel." • "But yo’ ain’t too busy to remember that De Soto discovered tbe Missis­ sippi river about a hundred and sev­ enty years ago.

Maurice Coulter was born in Irving, Nov. 3, 1888, at the old homestead. The earlier part of his life whs spent there until the death of his mother three years ago. Then he lived with an aunt in Grand Rapids for a while, and since has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Meachem at Fennville. He came about three weeks ago to visit his old friends in this vicinity and had completed his visit and was readv to go to his home, when he was taken sick with appendicitis, and after an ill­ ness of only three days, he departed this life Thursday morning, June 9. His life is an example of heroic sac­ rifice. Deprived of a mother's care, he daily endeavored to be as she would have him. Her influence over him was ever present. He became an earnest member of the church last winter, and was a faithful worker during the short time he was left. His life was spotless, and during his last night of suffering he said if his time had come he was ready to go. He had glorious visions of a hereafter. The funeral was held from the home of Mrs. E. J.

It is no disparagement to previous classes to say that no class has ever Un­ ished its courqp in Hastings High School hashed more successful graduat­ ing exercises than the class of 1904. who received their diplomas under the maples on the court house square last Friday afternoon. To start in with, the day was perfect, with bright sunny skies and all the charm which Dame Nature can give to the rarest month in the year. Then every member of the class to whom was assigned a place on the program acquitted himself or her­ self in a way that brought proud emo­ tions to the hearts of listening friends. To the inspiring strains of Troxel’s orchestra the procession consisting of the superintendent and high school teachers, the Rev. Mr. VanAuken, members of the school Iboard and the class, marched upon the platform, which by the way, was tastily decorat­ ed with the class colors, green and white. Invocation was offered by Rev." H. H. VanAuken after which a vocal selection was effectively rendered by a male quartet composed of Messrs. Frank Horton, J. L. Crawley, J. C. Ketcham and Clarence Barber. The salutatory was then given by Harriett R. Goodyet..*, who in a charm­ ing manner, spoke the words of greet­ ing in behalf of her class. And right here we will say, what ought to be said in this connection, that all the speak­ ers delivered their several productions with a forceful ness, ease and grace that did them great credit. Miss Goodyear spoke in part as fol­ lows: With what gladness do we meet the long absent friend! What words of salutation rise to our lips. In our daily life also, the greeting, the welcome, plays an important part. And so with the changes of manners and customs, that each succeeding generation brings, a salutatory has found its place in the commencement program of our high schools. To me has fallen the privi­ lege of greeting you this afternoon, and it is with pleasure that, in behalf of the graduating class I bid you welcome. And yet you need no welcome; for it is through your kindness and generosity that we have attained to what we are today. The restless, surging tide of life is rolling on. Y ear follows year in rapid succession. So swiftly do they fly that the child grows to youth before we realize that childhood's toys and child­ hood’s pleasures are left behind. The dawn of a different life is before us, with hesitating steps we stand upon its threshold and gaze with eager, fearful glances, into the years that are to come. ’ * Four years of pleasant, profitable work, with the usual ups and downs of high school life, have brought us to this afternoon, u day that marks as yet the highest point attained in our ambition. And yet, with all it is a sad one, for from now on, we as a class, go our ways alone, We would not have it otherwise. Not if we could would we give up the triumph we have won. And yet the severing of high school ties, the ceasing of pleasant relation­ ship, the friendly rivalry of mind .with mind—the thought of all this brings to us a fueling of sadness, the one cloud in our bright blue sky. And you, our friends, who have watched our progress Jear by year, show by your presence ere today that you are in sympathy with our hopes and our achievements. Standing os we do hl the close of this epoch in our lives, with thoughts and wishes turned toward the days that are to come, fortunate are we in having you to watch our future bright with the visions of progress to be made and glori­ ous deeds to be accomplished. The class history was then read by C. William Edwards. Mr. Edwards’ pro­ duction possessed the merit of being somewhat out of the usual run of class histories and was well written and well delivered. It is too long to be repro­ duced in full, but we shall make use of some of the personal references only. Undoubtedly the most prominent of the distinctive qualities of the class of 1904 is ita modesty, a result of the In­ fluence of one who not only adds her sixteenth share of the average in the number of pounds, but also her dlstinGishing feature of the heterogeneous ly. This predominating quality of Grace Isabelle Stewart has been most manifest in her reserve of manner, while in rhe school room facts go to show that our principal ceased to file her name on the credit book. Her dis­ position Is due no doubt to her early surroundings, ‘'down on the farm.” ' । Many have questioned as to thecause of so little friction among our members I and the smoothness with which all class matters have been conducted, but the questioners ceased to question when their eyes rested upon one fair charac­ ter. Katharine VanValkenburgb, for in her they saw true amiability. It is her influence that has brought to us all an evenness of temper. If '‘he who ruleth himself is greater limn he that taketh a city.” surely she is the strong­ est member in our class, and when next fall she shall enter the classic shades of Michigan University we can feel that she, as one of our number will lead the and has not been thrilled to the very way to bights undreamed 01. finger tips?

They make a little at one thing and then at another until they are really too old to become a master. Every one who has succeeded in life will tell you that if you wish to some day stand on tbe lofty heights of suc­ cess you must in your youth become a master of yourself. Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. After a song by the male quartet Glenn Waite gave the class essay, the subject of which was “The Negro Prob­ lem." The production was a thought­ ful and timrly one, a few thoughts of which we reproduce: Never before in the history of this country has there been brought before tbe people a problem presenting great­ er difficulties or discouragements than the negro problem. It is true that the good sense and sound judgment of the American people have at times been severely taxed by great national ques­ tions, but great as they were, they stand inferior to the present one which in its awful possibilities hangs like a pall ov­ er the nation. After reviewing the history ot the negro in this country, including the petted since the war, and dwelling up­ on the evils which prevail in the south consequent upon the dense ignorance of the mass of tbe negro population and their disregard for the sanctity of fam­ ily life, the essayist concludes as fol­ lows: This condition of affairs prevailing among the lower class of negroes is aw­ ful to think of as existing aide,by side with the proudest, tnott advanced and most prosperous Christian civilization which the world has yet produced. But it cannot always continue. The degenerating, lowering, debasing influ­ ence of this heathen element is already stamping ita effects upon southern life. It is time for some decisive step to be taken. Theory must give way to prac­ tical, well directed and persistent ac­ tion baaed upon the lessons which the last forty years have taught. All men, north and south1, all who nave the high­ est welfare of our country at heart, may well unite their efforts and their influ­ ence towards the solution ot this prob­ lem. It is evident that tbe negro, for weal or for woe, Is an integral part of our population. Is it not then tbe part of wisdom and patriotism, and even of self interest that the dominant white element turn this mighty factor into channels of unselfishness and good citizenship? ' The class prophecy was then given by Grade Grant and was not only well written but well delivered. Imagining herself to be in Germany In the year 1920 and to have just received a letter from her “who* used to be and still Is Katharine AanValkenburgh,” she speaks reminiscently as follows: There is Florence Wood, I can hard­ ' ly imagine it. They say that she has । become an intense expounder of wo­ man’s rights, a public speaker, and as president of the Hastings Women’s club, last year she alone raised enough money among the citizens to build and endow a large club bouse which Is soon to be erected. Then there is Ben McMurrav, tbe last I heard of him he was still in the grocery business, but he has removed his store from tbe first ward to New York City where he is fast becoming a well to do business man. I remember how, In my class proph­ ecy, I made one of our number a pro­ fessor of oratory which truly he seems to have become. For Katharine writes me that the last time she was in Grand Rapids she was attracted by a loud voice vociferously proclaiming the merits of some patent medicine, and as she approached the wagon upon which the speaker was stationed whom should she find but Arthur Andrus dressed In the garb of an Indian and taking a bountiful supply of dollars from his sales. By his side sat the cashier, his wife. When Katharine noticed her she nearly dropped dead from astonish­ ment, for what do you iblnk, it was no other than Grace Stewart. I was nevev more astonished than when, a few weeks ago, I picked up a newspaper and read of o factory being erected in Grand Rapids. It is to be run on an entirely novel plan. The proceeds are to be divided among the employees and, as 1 rend further, to my astonishment I found that this factory was owned by Lillian Knapp and Inda Belle Busby, who had been given the sole right to manufacture and sell a well known washing fluid. Then there is Glenn Waite, I believe I made him out • state senator, but be has wonderfully changed his career and is now running a sanitarium in Alaska. In A far away Nebraskan village, where there are only two houses and a railroad station, all alone by himself site the literary genius of his claw. Here as telegraph agent resides David Smith, our claw valedictorian, expend­ ing his pent up literary genius on tel­ egrams, ticket* and train orders. Soon after Will Edwards graduated he left Hastings and joined the army, where he has constantly risen until he ha* become commander-in-chief of the U. S. army in the Philippines. Marga­ ret Harper prepared herself for a Red Crow nurse and felt that duty also called her to the Philippines. You can imagine the sequel. I hope they are happy out there among the natives. I had a letter from Grace Giddings noi long ago telling me that she had become the wife of an industrious farm­ er, every Saturday taking her batter and eggs to town and exchanging them for tea and calico. I am disappointed in Harriett Good­ year. for when I left, nothing but a great musical career would satisfy her. She was planning a musical course at Boston, with perhaps a final year in Germany.

Vladivostok Squadron Is Favored by the Fog That Hangs Over the Ocean but May Be Cut Off Before Reaching Ita Refuge. Che-Foo, June 20.—There is current here a Chinese rumor that the Jap­ anese have captured one of the Inner forts at Port Arthur, Insing 1.000 men in the engagement. It cannot, how­ ever. be confirmed. Mukden. June 20.—According to Chinese statements attacks made by the Japanese on Port Arthur have been repulsed with heavy losses. St. Petersburg. June 20.—A dispatch from Mukden says that, according to trustworthy advices received there, an entire Infantry regiment with Its commander, was sunk In the trans­ ports Hitachi and Sado. Tokio, June 20.—Vice Admiral KamImura returned to his base without having discovered the Russian Vladi­ vostok fleet Vladivostok Fleet Escapes. Tokio, June 20.—The remarkable raid of the Russia Vladivostok squad­ ron evidently is over. The squadron disappeared Saturday off Capo Hanasbi. steering to the north, and it has not been reported since. It Is as­ sumed to be returning to Vladivostok. Whether or not a portion of Vice Admiral Kamimura's squadron is awaiting the Russians off Vladivostok is a carefully guarded secret. Assum­ ing that Vice Admiral Kamlmura dis­ patched some ot his vessels to Vladi­ vostok when be learned that the Rus­ sian squadron was off Ikl island, these ships would have had ample time to arrive there ahead of tho Russians and will be ready to give battle. The weather has been foggy and thus conditions have been against the Japanese. British Ship Is Seized. It is reported that the raiding Rus­ sians captured a British steamer laden w’th coal, bound south from the Island of Yezo, and sent her to Vladivostok with a prize crew, but the report is not. confirmed by the Japanese navy department. SON. The transports Sado, Hitachi and Izuml were the only ones overhauled by the Russians. Japan had thirteen transports in and near the Strait of Corea the morning the Sado and the Hitachi were caught and she was for­ tunate that only the tnree ships men­ tioned were overtaken by the enemy. It Is impossible to get complete facts concerning the sinking of the Hitachi. She evidently failed to stop when signaled to do bo by. the Rus­ sian vessel. The claim is made that Captain Campbell, the English mas­ ter of tbe Hitachi, refused to stop and planned to ram the Russian, but this is denied. Ruasiana Fire on Life Boats. It la said that the Jananeae officers on board the Hitachi declined to sur­ render and required Capt. Campbell to keep his ship going. The aaacrtlon that the Russians fired upon the life­ boats in which men were escaping from the Japanese transport has been fully substantiated. The raid of the Vladivostok squad­ ron has brought an unwarranted amount of criticism upon Vice Ad­ miral Kamlmura from the Japanese, and his failure to catch the Russians in the fog off tbe coant of Corea when the Japanese transport Kinshiu was sunk on April 26, wi’h a loss of about 200 men, has been recalled. Some of these even declare that if Vice Admiral Kamlmura fails to catch the Russian vessels before they reach Vladivostok he should either resign from the navy or ern-mit suicide. Vice Admiral in Disfavor. The popular demand for his replace­ ment is growing, but the public is without information as to the nature of his orders or the plans of the na­ val campaign and fails to make allow­ ance for the limitations of conditions. Vice Admiral Kamimura's squadron was lying off Tsu island when the raiding Russians reached °klno isl­ and. He immediately started in pur­ suit of tbe enemy, but rains obscured the sea' and an electrical storm inter­ fered with his system of wireless telegraphy. Raid a Desperate Venture. The Japanese generally magnify the importance of this Russian raid, which had no material effect urea the war. It was a desperate ventur* and it is believed here to have succeeded only through blind luck. The Yawata and the Ansel, two sailIng vessels, were sunk by the Russians on Thursday between Ko island and Oku-Shiri Island, off the west coast of Yezo and north uf the Tsugaru strait. Thirty-seven survivors reached Esashi od Thursday afternoon. This make a total of five Japanese ships sunk or destroyed by the Russian raiders. la Now Rear Admiral. Washington.

It has been suggested that tbe demo­ erats of Wcbigaa refraia from nomi­ nating a candidate for governor, but endorse Justus 8. Stearns, who is said Io ho planning to bolt the machine ticket of his party and run on an inde­ pendent ticket as a reform candidate. This would be a piece of very poor pol­ itics from the democratic standpoint, however advantageous it might appear for Mr. Stearns. Supposing that such a combination could be effected and the fusion ticket elected, what would be­ come of the democratic organization in tbe state? Would it not be entirely de­ moralized, or at least so greatly weak­ ened that it would take years for It to regain its present virility? It will be better for the democratic party of Mibhigan to stick to Its own principles, fight Its own battles under Its own banner and with its own candi­ dates rather than to help a disaffected republican office seeker to accomplish bls ambition to become governor, even though that republican happens to be in accord with tbe democrats on the one question of primary reform. Indeed the fight this fall will not be an entirely hopeless one if the republi­ can machine program is forced upon the voters of the state as now seems probable. Tbe worm will turn at last, and it rosy be that the temper of the rank and file of tbe republican party in Michigan has reached the turning point.

Yesterday afternoon, immediately after tbe business meeting of the Cen­ tral Michigan Band Association, Hast­ ings, Woodland, Nashville, Delton, Cloverdale, Orangeville, Hickory Cor­ ners and Baltimore organized the Barry County band association. Lt is expect­ ed that at least three other bands— Freeport, Middleville and Lacey—will join. Jas. Troxel was elected president and C. H. Barber secretary. Friday, July 1, at 1:00 o’clock p. m., at Hotel Barry a business meeting will be held and every band is requested to send one delegate. Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Maynard have been thanking their lucky stars over since Monday night that they are still alive and able to be around. About 10 o’clock on the aforementioned night they were just returning home from Maple Grove where Ans. had purchased a nice team of young horses for his hack. He was leading a team behind his buggy and they were just in the edge of town near the M. C. track when, the evening passenger train came along and whistled. This was too much for the spirited young horses and they gave a sudden spring and jumped clear over the buggy in which Mr. and Mrs. May­ nard were sitting. The horse which they were driving also took fright and tbe consequences were a great mix up. As the colts jumped they took the har­ ness off the other horse, the whole out­ fit went into the wire fence and when Mrs. Maynard regained her scattered senses she found herself lying undec the wire fence with the horse standing on the fence. It was almost a miracle that neither of tbe two received brok­ en limbs or serious internal injuries. As it was it was necessary to procure a conveyance to take Mrs. M. home, as *he was considerably bruised. None of the horses received any damage but the buggy was smashed. & I �i I HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1904. hrstings herkld S3QSSS WILL J. FIELD. ittf ittfA*Mf Local a«4 PtnoMl.

Senator Spooner, the boss of the re­ publican kickers of Wisconsin, is repre­ sented in Washington this week by an emissary whose business it is to obtain the assistance of the president in the fight against Governor La Follette. The president shies off and is not in­ clined to take a band. It looks now as if the diminutive Fuzzy Wuzzy of the senate might be disappointed in his am­ bition, though the republican commit­ tee has decided to seat his crowd. When he gets to Chicago with his bolt­ ing delegation, he wifi not find plain sailing. Asher Hinds, the man who has all the parliamentary manuals by heart, and who stands at the speaker’s right, during the sessions of tbe house, always ready with a word or a wink, will be at Mr. Cannon’s right when the convention is called to order. The precedents he has studied will jus’ify the speaker-chairman in throwing tbe Wisconsin bolters out altogether or giving each contestant half a vote. O, yes! A lively time at Chicago is on the tapis. LaFollette will be there.

L Is the heat of the earth duo not to the fnct that it is a molten mass, which has been slowly cooling for millions of years, but to the presence hi It of that mysterious fascinating element radi­ um? Professor Ernest Rutherford, n young but already distinguished pupil of Professor J. J. Thomson of Cam­ bridge, who first measured tbe mass and velocity of rndlum electrons, threw out the latter suggestion in a lecture before the Royal institution in London the other night. Lord Kelvin had calculated that, as­ suming the earth to be a molten mass when it first started Its own career, it would take 100,000,000 years to cool down to its present temperature; but, added the lecturer, inclining his head toward the gray headed scientist who was present, Lord Kelvin had shown a prophetic Insight when be added, "provided a new source of heat is not discovered." Mr. Rutherford thought that radium was proved to be In sufficient quanti­ ties lu the earth to supply a new theo­ ry as to the source of the earth's heat, so that we should not require the many millions of years which geologists and biologists had reasoned out as the time taken In the cooling process before life on the globe was possible. This startling new theory, ventured modestly, was not discussed after the lecture, but the scientists went away greatly Interested in a proposition which In effect means a reconstruction of hitherto accepted facts. The London Daily Mai) points out that Mr. Rutherford's calculation leads to the conclusion that the earth may have been habitable for many million*! of years and that it further upsets a!) accepted theories as to the duration of life, since a millionth portion of radium only exhausts Itself In 50,000,000 years. NEW STREET SWEEPER. There is no other city pavement which seems to meet with tbe favor of asphalt, with its smooth surface and lasting qualities, and In view of the growing use of horseless carriages it is probable that as the city pavement of the future it will stand alone. With the advent of the smooth pave­ ment seems to .have come also an in­ creased desire to keep the streets clean, and it is customary to station men at Intervals along these pavements to keep free from dirt sections of pave­ ment varying from one to three squares.

This latest machine is entirely automatic in Its operation, scooping up the dirt from tbe pavement, elevating it to tbe re­ quired height and depositing It in a bag at the rear. The operator has extra sacks with him, and as one Is filled he replaces it with another, depositing the full one at the curb for collection by a wagon. Daniel B. and William R. Cliffe of Marion, O., are the inventors. A Copenhagen dispatch tells of a Dane who has invented a new military tent fashioned of felt. There may be some new method of treating the ma­ terial, but felt tents are not a new device. The Turcoman tribes of Transeaspia, not to seek further, have used tents of felt for ages. The use of them bad a curious effect upon a Rus­ sian expedition thirty-five years ago. General Lomakin assailed tbe strong­ hold of the Tekkes and fired in terrific volleys of grape and shell among the tents of felt. But no serious damage seems to have been done, and when the troops attempted the storming of the felt encampment they were i epulsed and fled in wild panic. lakmriae BleyeMaa.

An experiment of tills kind was made off tbe coast of England near Plymouth. The cyclist was a diver, fully equipped,' while lie employed a tricycle with heavy flat tired wheels.

Woven Wire Fencing “BEST ALONG THE PIKE.” -=^i We use only the best quality of galvanized hard steel wire, and aim to fur­ nish the heaviest, the most durable and efficient wire fence made: fence that is handsome in appearance, easy to handle and erect, that fits the surface of the ground without bulging or drawing the stay wires out of the perpendicular. Ample provision is made for expansion and contraction, and the maximum strength is secured throughout the fabric by the use of hard steel wire. The result is a smooth and perfect fence that will successfully turn all stock without the least danger of injury to either animals or fence. We particularly invite attention to our low or hog-fence styles and challenge comparison in efficiency. Tho principle of a streight, heavy and continuous upright wire as applied to a hog fence produces a fabric which the hog (most trying of domestic animals to fence against) cannot root under, raise up or crowd through. # Sold by R.

After a selection by the orchestra the valedictory was delivered by David Edward Smith. With great earnest­ ness and effectiveness the young vale­ dictorian addressed words of appreci­ ation and farewell to school board, teachers, classmates and friends. We can quote but a few of his well ex­ pressed thoughts: I wish first of all to call your atten­ tion to the school from which today we take our leave; from whose hoepltable door we are launching forth upon the uncertain sea of destiny, upon waters, Caceful and calm, or troubled and ihed by the fury of life's storm, as the fates may decree; a school which, as we believe, in educational advantages, is second to none of its size in the state. We have a library numbering 1700 volumes; laboratories fitted with all the materials necessary in tbe study of science; a faculty whose superiority cannot be questioned; a board of educa­ tion ever zealous in advancing those measures which promote the cause of learning. Surely a school of which we as students, our city, aye even the whole county must feel proud. Within its walls we have spent four toilsome years and in so doing we have learned to love it. We have ever aspired to be a class respected for our interest in the wel­ fare and advancement of our school, faithful to ita teachings, loyal to its laws. Humble in our nature, true to our convictions, we have tried to main­ tain tbe dignity of our position without over-rerching the bonds of integrity. Thus we have labored on ever bearing in mind that it is the effort and not the attainment that tells. Our minds naturally turn to our homes and the dear ones who this day rejoice with us. With swelling hearts we recall the many comforts you have deprived yourselves of that your son or daughter might advance. In endeav­ oring to show our appreciation of your many regards, words fail me. ft Is right that they should. Such debts can­ not be paid by words. Dear parents, we each aud all resolve in our inmost hearts that it shall be paid only through loyalty and dutifulness to you during our after life. ’ And now to you dear faculty: to me is committed tbe charge in behalf of this class of expressing our apprecia­ tion of your zeal for our best develop­ ment. We realize that your trials have been many and great; no doubt oft times you have been discouraged in your efforts, but undaunted you have continued, and we trust you are satis­ fied with tbe fruit of your undertaking. It id our desire that we may attain such success Id our after life that you will be proud, yes honored by the dis­ tinction of baring been instructors of this class. I hope that we may prove ourselves worthy of tbe diploma which is to be presented to us this afternoon. May we show by our actions that the honor is a merited one ever bearing in mind that the future reputation and standing of our school depend, in a measure, upon our personal efforts. We should strive to so lire that tbe reflex action will not only bring glory to our own beings, but also to those who may follow in our footsteps from this institution of learn- California BEST PERSONALLY CONDUCTED TOURIST EXCURSIONS Leave CHICAGO TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS VIA THE GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE and Scenic Line, Tourist Car via Southern Route leave □ Chicago every Tuesday.

For the past two years and six months the publisher of the Herald has devoted most of his time and atten­ tion to the public schools ot this city. This it was his duty to do, as suj>erintendent. There is no interest In a com­ munity so closely associated with its welfare as its schools and there is no responsibility more pressing than that which rests upon the superintendent. Conscious of this fact and influenced by the demands of a constantly increasing business of his own the writer of this article feels that it will be the part of wisdom as well as duty to relinquish tbe school work entirely and devote all his energies to the Herald. In leav­ ing the school work he Is deeply grati­ fied to know that the schools are in a strong and healthy Condition, with ex­ ceedingly bright prospects for the fu­ ture and he bespeaks for the now su­ perintendent tbe hearty rapport and sympathy of this community. It is tbe purpose of tbe editor to devote all his Lime and attention from now on to the interests of this paper. It shall be our aim to make the Herald even more successful Id the future than It has ever been. We want to make the Herald a welcome visitor to every family in Barry county and to this end we ask the co-operation of our readers. If our readers will say a good word for the Herald to tbeir friends and neighbors who are not already taking it, the; will be doing us a favor which will be high­ ly appreciated.

We left the hotel this morning to make an all day tour of the cities to the right of Naples following the sea near­ ly all the way. Our first visit was the dry bed of a lake formed in the middle ages. On the south bank is the Dog-Grotto which is connected by an underground cham­ ber to the small Vesuvius. This cham­ ber is large enough at the mouth for a man to stand up right. Hot sulphur­ eous fumes arise from the ground and the floor is covered with warm carbolic acid gas, which comes up from below and the fumes of which render a dog insensible in a few minutes. A light is quickly extinguished when brought into contact with the vapor. From here we went to the crater of “Little Vesuvius.” This is about three miles in circumference and is extreme­ ly interesting. One can walk over the bed of the crater which was once a boil­ ing, seething mass without danger. It is hollow underneath and resounds like a great bell if a heavy stone is dropped to the ground. It is surrounded with a mountainous rim which forms the vol* cano before the eruption. In one place is a hollow which looks like a huge ket­ tle'of boiling mud, in another is a large fissure from which vapor and sulphur gas ascend and the ground for the space of a square foot constantly boils. On the way from here to the Temple of Jupiter we passed the Amphl theatre. It Is very large and the arena conld be filled with water, as naval, as well as gladiatorial combats were held here. Tae imperial seat was distinguished by Corinthian columns of black marble. We passed the ruins of a palace of Julius Caesar, built against the moun­ tain and running down to the sea,which must have covered several acres of ground. The Temple of Diana was the next place we stopped and was very interest­ ing because the entire ruins had sunk several feet and three of the six huge solid marblo pillars aro still standing. The temple was circular in shape and the bed rooms of the priest forming the outside circle are built on ancient Ro­ man brick and are still in good condi­ tion. On the not th side of the village of Bacoll is the tomb of Agrippina. Our coachman went with us to net as interpreter but as his English vocabu­ lary is sadly limited and the guide could only speak Italian, we simply learned what we could see. 1. c. that the passage had a vaulted ceiling covered with reliefs and paintings and could only be seen by a torch at the end of a long pole. Here wo saw a tree which bad been covered with lava at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius and had petrified. The lava had since been taken away. The next place we visited was Lacus Avernus, a celebrated crater filled with water and reached by an under­ ground tunnel. The descent of a 113 ft. is steep, is scarcely wide enough to walk in and that by bendiug nearly double. Virgil mentions the place as the scene of the descent of Ajneas conducted by the Sibyl to the “Infernal Regions.” Wien we had reached the edge of the water the guide carried us on his back, one at a time to a place arranged in an­ cient times for a heated bath. The marble tub and resting place covered with mess are in good condition. The grewsome air of the place, the black water, together with the unearthly story told us by the guide in a jargon of Italian and English aggravated by the dreadful smell of the torches made us very glad to come out by a shorter and quicker way than we had entered and we were Inclined to believe with the ancients that the latter passage was to Paradise when we came out in the beautiful sunshine. Our last visit for the day was to the Temple of Apollo. The walls of the structure which are built entirely of Roman brick are In nearly perfect con­ dition. The drive back to Naples, a distance of 12 miles commanded a beau­ tiful view of the sea and surrounding country. The Island of Nesis is espec­ ially beautiful and historically Inter­ esting. The island was once the prop­ erty of Marcus Brutus, who was here visited by Cicero. Brutus and Cassius, conspired against Caesar. Brutus took leave here of his wife, Portia on his de­ parture for Greece previous to the bat­ tle of Philippi the news of which caused her to commit suicide by swallowing burning coals. Perhaps it is more pleasant and certainly more in keeping with the beautiful island to remember that Queen Jhonana II in the 15th centurv hud a magnificent villa here. ‘ Marguerite Goette. Trying to Break Win. Mrs. Hattie Watkins Rose has start­ ed a most unusual chancery suit in the Kent circuit court. Divorced from Benjamin R. Rose in 11)00 and having at that time accepted 81,400 us full set­ tlement of alimony, she now brings suit to set aside his will and to get her legal share of his estate, just as though there had never been a divorce. She claims that Rose fraudently de­ ceived her as to the value of his prop­ erty when she accepted the 81,400 as alimony. The Roses were married in 1894, and were divorced after six years. She charges that when the divorce was obtained, he represented to her that he was not worth more than 84,000, and that if he gave her the 81,400, she would be getting more than her onethird. She charges that instead of 84,000, he was worth between 812,000 and 818,000. The inventory of the es­ tate as filed In the probate court shows a valuation of 19,028.50. She declares that this Inventory is not correct. | The defendants are J. Roland Clark of Grand Rapids, administrator of the Rose estate, and twenty-three other beneficiaries under the will. Mr. Clark is given 8500 by the will, and other Grand Rapids persons are remembered as follows: Myrtle Clark, 8500; Ger­ trude R. Dubridge, $500; May Fuller, $390: Ferris Rose, $500. The files in the divorce proceedings show that the property difficulties be­ tween the Roses begin early. He charged that she admitted that she, aged 42, married him, aged 71, for pe­ cuniary advantage only desiring to se­ cure a home and a share of. his prop­ erty. He also charged her with tak­ ing a tin box containing bis private papers, which she denied. The Roses were residents of Hastings until he came to Grand Rapids and made his home with Mr. Clark.—Grand Rapids Press. Albert Hilton. Albert Hilton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hilton, residing on the State road in Castleton township, died of muscular rheumatism last Thursday af­ ternoon about 1:00 o’clock, at the home of his parents. Mr. Hilton was born in Castleton township, Feb. 11th, 1881, consequently was 23 years, 4 months and 12 days old at the time of his demise. He had al­ ways resided at home and was an exem­ plary young man. Funeral services were held at, the Martin church at 10:00 o’clock Sunday forenoon, ' conducted - ■ - - -by — - -L. Rev. C. Bradley.

Scribner, of Delton, a successful physician of that village and a man well and favorably known throughout the county, was taken sud­ denly ill Tuesday night, soon after re­ tiring and half an hour later was dead. Dr. E. H. Lathrop, coroner, was called the next morning, and after making such investigation as seemed necessary, assisted by Dr. Elliott of Hickory Cor­ ners, he decided that a poet mortem was unnecessary, the evident cause of death being angina pectoris, a form of heart disease. Dr. Scribner was forty-four years old and to all appearances in vigorous health. His sudden demise was there­ fore a very great shock to his wife and a painful surprise to the community. It seems that about three years ago the doctor sustained a stroke of pa­ ralysis from which he soon recovered. Soon after this he was severely hurt in a runaway accident and since that time he has frequently complained of pain In the chest. Tuesday after­ noon he went out and played ball for a while with the boys and in the evening before retiring took a bath, after which he complained of being chilly. Soon after going to bed Mrs. Scribner heard him groan and upon asking him what was the matter he replied “nothing’* and told her to go to sleep. But as he continued to groan she arose and short­ ly afterwards hastened in alarm to call in some of the neighbors. The doctor seemed to be in great agony and very soon breathed his last. Dr. Scribner studied medicine with Dr. Lathrop in this city and afterwards took courses in medicine at Ann Arbor and Chicago. Ever since graduating in 1890 he has practiced his profession at Delton where -he built up a large practice. He had no children, but leaves a wife to mourn his loss. He was a member of several secret organ­ izations, among them the Masons, Knights of Pythias, K. O. T. M. M. etc. In politics he was a republican and quite active in party affairs. He was intending to go as a delegate to the Detroit convention Wednesday morn­ ing. Funeral services will be held at the house tomorrow morning, after which the remains will be conveyed to South Haven, escorted by Hickory Comers Masonic lodge, of which deceased was a member. .The funeral services of the order will be conducted at the grave by J. L. Crawley of this city. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Fireworks’. Well, I should say so; the proper place to get them is at John Meade & Co.’s at right prices. Rev.

We have had room and still have room. But this is no reason why the foreign trans-Atlantic steam­ ship companies should overdo the Im­ portion business. Since this cut rate went into effect, says the New York Commercial, the proportion of Immigrants detained for deportation, investigation or in­ quiry, considered in relation to the total mass, exceeds all prior records, and the oldest inspectors declare that never since the original immigration act went into effect do they recall hav­ ing seen such a cargo of diseased and degraded human chattels os thatlunloaded recently from the reeking steerages of the Kroonland and the Potsdam. It Is declared that no less than 46 per cent of the total number of steerage passengers arriving on these two ves­ sels "were detained by the immigra­ tion officials at the island and of the fetid scum from the forehold of the Kroonland no less than 105 miserable beings were held for special inquiry and presumably ultimate rejection and deportation, because of loathsome and in many instances virulently contagious diseases, insanity, senility professional mendicancy or criminality evidenced by a term in prison. From al! this it seems clear.that these foreign steamship companies are not considering the welfare of this country, but are helping European governments to get rid of public charges. It is barely possible that the so-called "rate war’ is a mere subter­ fuge, since the steerage rate of 89.60 would nor. cover the cost.—Indianapo­ lis Sentinel. Represent the Trusts. The way the succeaslon to the seat of the late Senator M. S. Quay was de­ termined shows what uu exceedingly small factor the iieople of Pennsylvania are in the settling of such matters. Certain political bosses aud the presi­ dents of certain railroads met the gov­ ernor, who is their hired man, and told him who to appoint to the vacant seat. Immediately it was done, that is decid­ ed upon. Attorney General Knox is to be appointed for the unexpired term and elected when the legislature meets to do the bidding of the naif dozen men who own it. It is said the president al­ so put his hand on the situation slight­ ly also. But at any rate nothing was jeft to the free agency of the people’s representatives in the matter. There may be some few persons who will feel sore over the high handed proceeding and they may trv to make a little trou­ ble, but this is likely to be a flash in the pan only. The senators from Penn­ sylvania do not represent the people or the state of Pennsylvania, but the bosses of the tariff protected trusts. There was no necessity, therefore, of paying any attention to these. Such is the working of representative govern­ ment in the state of Pennsylvania.— Ann Arbor Argus. Not of a Warlike Temperament. The absence of military ardor in the Russian people must have struck any one well acquainted with their art and literature. It does not lie in their tem­ perament as it lies in the Gallic, the Anglo-Saxon, or Teutonic character. The Russians have no genuine war songs, old or new. Their court poets have celebrated Russian victories in odes as bombastic and artificial as the battle pieces of the court painters in the Hermitage and the imperial palaces. If we glance at the treatment of war in the novels of Tolstoy and other writers, few io number, who have dealt with the subject of fiction, wc shall not find it surrounded by any halo of romance. We shall search in vain for a parallel to such a poem as Tennyson’s “Charge of the Light Brigade.” The spirit of jingoism is commendably absent from Russian poetry. The folk literature shows the same lack, not of courage, but of military enthusiasm. Even in the songs of the Cossacks, the most war­ like races of Russia, it is the parting from sweetheart or wife, the chancesof death on the field, the anticipation of wounds and suffering thatare dwelt up­ on, rather than the triumphant return of the warrior or the joy and exultation of slaughter. The Russian fights with dogged courage, and dies with fatalis­ tic resignation: but he goes to his fate Incapable of intoxicating himself with visions of glory and ambition. It is the cross upon the lonely field, not the marshal’s baton in his knapsack, thut the Russian soldier keeps before him as he marches to the front.—Fortnight­ ly Review. Startling Evidence. Fresh testimony in great quantity is constantly coming in, declaring Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consump­ tion, Coughs and Colds to be unequal­ ed. A recent expression from T. J.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery. Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they may be removed entirely. Bones are spliced, pipes take the place of diseased sections of veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like in­ juries before inflammation sets in, which causes them without maturation and in one-third the time required by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It Is an antiseptic and when applied to such Injuries, causes them to beul very quickly. It also allays the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it will save you time and money, not to mention the in­ convenience and suffering which such injuries entail. For sule by W. ” H.

"Never put ofl^ ’till to-morrow what you can do to-day,” Is now generally presented in this form: “Do it to-day!” That is the terse advise we want to give you about that hacking cough or demoraliz­ ing cold with which you have been struggling for several days perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remeky for it to-day—and let that remedy be Dr. Bosebee’s German syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you com­ pletely. No matter how deep-seated vour cough, even if bread consumption □as attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—as it has done before in thousandsof apparently hope­ less cases of lung trouble.

They have been hailed and lunched by the president, effusive!v greeted by his subordinates, lifted to the top of the monument and curried through the buildings, and have hast­ ened on to other cities. 1 inquired his impressions from Major General Bir­ ney. ton of that James G. Birney, who made the free soil run for president in 1844, and only survivor of four brothers who fought in the Union army. He said “They looted about like the same number of intelligent persons from our states on an excursion to the capital for pleasure and instruction. If they are representatives of their people, we owe more respect to the Filipinos than we have yet shown. If the president of the fair at St. Louis would devise a plan to make our people acquainted with these men instead of exhibiting a lot of savage Igorroles at the Pike, be would acquire much merit.” A score of Dig­ ger Indians caught in the Bud Lunds of the west would represent our nutive population us well as those Igorrotes represent the Filipinos." I asked: "Whut did you think of their speeches?” "They were respect­ able,” he said, "but not remarkable for originality or force. They were about whut would be expected of guests whose bills were paid by their entertainers and who would naturally avoid un­ pleasant topics. They were as polite as Spaniards.” “Don’t you suppose their reports will do good in the archipelago?” I asked. "Perhaps,” he answered, “by giving the people there more definite' ideas of the extent, power, wealth aud indust­ rial resources of this country. I don’t know that the reports will make them more friendly to us. They don’t fight us as thev did. Chains don’t hurt so much when they are worn smooth. But no subjugated nation loves Ita masters. The Boers and Hindoos do not love the British; nor do the Finns love the Russians, or the Filipinos the Americans. Warships and rapid fire guns maintain what is called peace. No Filipino rebels unless he has made bis will, but the spirit that demands in­ dependence is there and would blaze up if a favorable occasion offered. Without battleships and gatlings they are helpless; but if a powerful nation should offer them such facilities of de­ fense and offense, I think they would rise in rebellion from the north end of Luzon to the southern corner of the Sulu possessions. It Japan for instance, shall be victorious over Russia, what will be likely to happen? I don’t know; but it is a question worth think­ ing about, while we are execrating Russia and calling down curses on the head of the czar.” Cortelyou’s department of commerce and labor is trying bard to find out which of its officials are directly re­ sponsible for the General Slocum holo­ caust in the East river. There is no disguising the fact that the blame rests directly upon some of Cortelyou’s in­ spectors. But when they are punished, if such a consummation can be hoped for, some blame will still rest upon congress itself. The most astounding revelations in connection with it is the provision of law which pays inspectors according to the number of steamboats they are ab>e to certify to haviug ex­ amined in a year! Of course this is a direct incentive to carelessness and utter recklessnes. It offers a premium for perjury and a prize for neglect of duty. Under this law inspectors who do not inspect are paid three times as much as those who do, on the sole con­ dition that they are ready and expert Hors. What kind of congressmen were they who enacted such a law? At the beginning of the school vaca­ tion this week a murmur goes through the city protesting against such a short school year. Allowing for holidays, national and optional, school is held only about one-half of the days of the year. At this there Is an indignant remonstrance rising. It is felt that children have their feet in the road al­ together too much and that the symKthy for overworked students has en altogether overdone. No other working people in the world have so many holidays in the year with pay as the school teacher’s and it is strongly felt that the children are running too much and studying too little. A revolution in this '□utter is at band. American Boy Day at the St. Louis Exposition. The St. Louis Exposition manage­ ment wisely determined to recognize American boys by setting apart a spec­ ial day for them at the exposition. The day selected is July 5th, and the pro­ gram and arrangements for the day arc in the hands of William R. Sprague, editor of The American Boy. of Detroit. The program includes athletic contests in the stadium between the boys of the public schools, in which public school teams are entered from Chicago, New York and other cities, and opportun­ ities will be given for Individual en­ tries. From 2-M) to 4:30 in the after­ noon public exercises will be held in Festival Hall, the central attraction of the grounds. It is expected chat three thousand boys will take part in a unique program consisting of orations, recitations, music, etc., by talented boys from various parts of the country, the reading of messages from President Roosevelt and the governors of all the states and territories, music by one of the exposition bands and by Professor H. B. Roney, who will preside at the great organ—the largest in the world. Three thousand .boys will be heard in chorus singing patriotic songs. There will be an address of welcome by Pres­ ident Franeb, a response by a 11-yearold boy, and a salute to the flag. Prizes will be awarded to boys compet­ ing in the contest for the best poem on the subject, "The American Boy,” and the best song that can be sung to the tune "America.” At 4:30 o’clock the boys will form in procession and march to the Pennsylvania building, where they.will pay their respects to the old Liberty Bell, and a 10-year-old boy will crown the bell with a floral offering on behalf of the boys of America. At 5:30 o’clock a reception will be given the boye in the Michigan building. It is fair to say that every boy in the coun­ try who can be ut the fair on July 5th will try to be there, as the occasion will be one long to be remembered. Thrown From A Horse. Mr. George K.

FIELD. Editor and Proprietor. Some of Its Hyprocrlsy. The republican platform adopted at Chicago begins with a long enumeration of the great tbiogs which “we” have done. A closer analysis of the facts, however, shows that this self complacent boastfulness rests upon a specious and hypocritical foundation, in many of its particulars. After speaking of the “unhappy conditions” in which the republican party found the country in 1897—conditions which the platform says were brought about by democratic misrule, but which, as a matter of fact, had their origin in the financial and tariff legislation of previous republican administrations, coupled with the workings of natural laws which no human power could control—the platform calls attention to the wonderful benefits which at once followed the change to a protective tariff policy. “Industry,” it says, “freed from oppres- sion and stimulated by the encouragemeat of wise laws has expanded to a degree never before known, has conquered new markets and has created a erdice or dishonesty. If Judge Park­ er’s record as a public man justifies such an inference, then the objections to him on account of his reticence are well taken. But the facts are he is a man ot strong convictions, of unswerv­ ing devotion to principles, of straight­ I forwardness of life. These are not the characteristics of a demagogue, but of a , .man of the most reliable and manly type. . Judge Parker has reasons for main­ taining a dignified silence which ought t to command the respect if not the ac­ ceptance of all fair minded people. He > holds a responsible judicial office and be ’docs not believe that be can consist­ ently with duty enter into a personal J struggle for the greatest political honor , ’which the American people can give. He conceives that it is not becoming in j him to make a personal bid for the s nomination by ostentatiously parading , his views before thecountry at the pres­ 'ent time. Whatever may be thought of the log­ . ic which Judge Parker has used in de­ ciding upon his policy of silence—and ' there are a great many thoughtful peo­ ple who will be in sympathy with his * course—it ought to be conceded that he ] has shown a Remarkable degree of self ( control in carrying it out. Not all the ( abuse and taunts and ridicule of the ’ anti-Parkerltes has wrung from him a single word of explanation or expres­ f sion of opinion. His very consistent J and resolute course under deop provo­ ( cation, is strong evidence of bis capac­ , ity to fill the presidential office accept­ ably. If he can show such a spirit of f self mastery and firm adhesion to a line ( of duty which he has marked out for j himself now he will manifest the same ( admirable characteristics in the white । house. Evidently he is not tbe man to ; be swerved from duty by captious crlt{icisra. . volume of exports which has surpassed imagination.” If Industry was “oppressed” before the Dingley tariff went into effect, it must have been by the steadily increasIng stringency of the tariff laws, from the Morrill tariff to the McKinley law.

Were they not afraid that so much wrong doing would be thus brought to light that tbe effects would be disastrous in tbe coming campaign? It is a common enough trick of plat­ form maker* to assume for their own party all the honor and praise for what­ ever good thing has happened to the country, and to lay all the blame for whatever bad thing has happened up­ on the other party, but it is hardly posaible that any advantage is gained by tbe practice. For tbe American people have a habit of weighing facte and drawing conclusions for them­ selves. Judge Parker’s Silence. The main objection which Mr. Bryan and his friends are urging against Judge Parker is his silence upon the iKues of tbe day. These gentlemen say that no man who declines to express himself upon these issues ought to be nominated, because he either has no views or his sympathies are not in ac­ cord with those of the democratic party. But such objections will have no Jorce with reasonable men unless it can be shown that the candidate is of a character that accords with moral cow- i combination against the corrupt in­ fluences that for a considerable period have dominated the affairs of the slate” and we are going to put up a strong ticket, on a splendid platform of reform and let the other fellows come over and vote with us. If they really want re­ form that is the proper thing for them to do. The democratic dog doesn’t need to be wagged by a republican tail by any means. SPECIALS Friday and Saturday ------------ FOR------------ Mr. Cortelyov starts in a very Rooseveltian fashion by assuring the national committee that be is going to be boss. Perhaps that announcement was necessary in tbe ease of a man so new in practical politics as young Mr. Cortelyou, but Mr. Hanna didn't have to start in that way.

The afternoon train that was to stop at Xerxes Junction and take on pas­ sengers for Ardenia was late, and the rough old colonel began to swear as be Studied his watch. “It'll be here In a minute, governor,” •aid Finley soothingly, carefully ob­ serving the custom of addressing can­ didates by the title to which they as­ pire. A scrawny, bent over old woman, carrying an apronful of wood, came out of the clump of trees across the railroad track and limped along until she reached ibe platform, where she isfactory sheets and slammed them down on tbe operator's table. “Here, my man,'* he commanded, "send this in a big hurry.” The operator looked up sleepily, rubbed bls eyes and read: To Hon. John Randall, Executive Man­ sion.

I've got an old woman here who utkea me for You and wants me to pardon her son. It would be a shame to undeceive her. and anyway I'm better looking than you are. The boy's name Is Dan Higgs.

The operator looked dubi­ ously and timidly suggested. "You might skeletonize this aud save money.” "No, sir,” said the colonel decidedly. “Send every blamed word of it. This is a matter of state." The operator labored with the mes­ sage, while the colonel went out on the platform to tell Mrs. Higgs to wait patiently. Boon after tbe message had gone over the wires the Ardenia train eame puffing in. '•Come on, governor,” said Finley. "We can’t wait any longer." “I can’t leave now," answered the colonel, leaning languidly against the station door. “But you must We speak in Ardenia tonight" "You can make enough noise for both of us." “Ardenia counts on hearing you. gov­ ernor,” urged Finley. “A willful disap­ pointment like this might ruin your chances of election.” “You know I never had any, Finley. What's the use of saying that? Any­ how, I'm not going." With that he took a seat on the bench beside Mrs. Higgs. “You'd better be moving, Fin­ ley,” he added. “I’ll join you at Beedsburg In the morning.” Just then the operator came rushing out with a message. The colonel seized it, almost tearing It In half In his eagerness, then held the pieces in his shaking hands while he read: Dear Colonel—Have telephoned to ward­ en at Osborn. No objection there.

Finley was shocked. “Such beastly manners!" he exclaim­ ed. “Shall I order her to be off, gov­ ernor?” Before the colonel could answer, the old woman clambered upon tbe plat­ form and limped eagerly to his side. “Be you the guvner?” she asked. The colonel smiled a big hearted smile and answered, “That's whut they call me," “Won’t you pardon my boy? He’s servin’ five years in Osborn prison. The old man’s been sick abed for months, and I ain't able to work, and we’re nearly starvin’. Pardon tbe boy, won't you, guvner? I wanted to go down to the capital a year ago when they took Dannie away, but I had no money, and I couldn’t walk that far." Tbe colonel raised his finger and ■emed about to explain, but the wo­ man talked on piteously. "They say be stole a cow for Halder, the cattle king that lives down at Bel­ den. Maybe you know him.

"It’s all right,” he said thickly. “Your boy will be home tomorrow.” “Thank you! Thank you! You're the best guvner God ever made!” At this she broke down and nobbed. "All aboard!" shouted the conductor. The colonel took a step toward the train. “It’s all right,” he repeated. “I’ve done only my duty, but if you feel grateful tell the boy to vote for me, John Randall, for governor.” RAISING DISH RAGS. A Remarkable Sew Horticultural fm- . do*try lu California. A novel enterprise, that of raising dish rags. Is being projected by a num­ ber of prominent southern California horticulturists who received inspiration for the scheme from Mr. Charles Rich­ unison, whose beautiful gardens In 1’nsadena are becoming world fan iodr for their remarkable vegetable and floral productions. Mr. Richardson lias successfully raised many wonderful growths never before Initiated In American soil, and this year be Is ex­ ceeding all previous agricultural tri­ umphs by raising thousands and thou­ sands of dish rags, enough to supply an ordinary family for a lifetime. The graceful, well follaged dish rag vines are highly ornamental and bear in great profusion a fibrous sponge that is eminently useful for bathing pur­ poses as well ns for scouring pans and kettles. Imagine yourself picking dish rags in your garden Just as you would pick blackberries, or imagine having dish rag vines all laden with dish rags clambering'over your kitchen windows, so that all you need to do Is to stretch out your urni and pul) one In. The seeds of these remarkable vines were gathered In South Africa by Mr. Walter Richardson, son of the horticul­ turist, who during his hunting and ex­ ploring expeditions was always on the lookout for rare plants for his father’s garden. Mr. Richardson waa accompa­ nied in his Jungle explorations by sev­ eral natives, who acted as cooks, guides and burden bearers. These dusky skinned Africans found the veg­ etable dish rags invaluable for scrub­ bing pans and kettles, and whenever camp was pitched the first thing on tbe programme was to go dish rag gather­ ing. In the land of their nativity these vines are accustomed to tropical cli­ mate, and it was feared they would rebel against American Influences. They have grown vigorously, however. In their new home, and, though the sponges produced are smaller than those In Africa, where they sometimes attain a length of two feet, they grow quite as numerously on the vines. These curious vegetables, which are annuals, assume the form and appear­ ance of cucumbers nnd hang on the vines until their green coats become brown and dry like parchment At this stage they are ready to hanrest After they are picked the brown coat is removed, and an extremely strong and compac'. fibrous sponge Is reveal­ ed. Through the center of this sponge in three legitimate compartments are many black seeds, which shake out readily. In the Pasadena garden these sponges have averaged eight inches in length and three Inches In diameter. NOVEL CURTAIN POLE. WORLD’S BIGGEST CLOCK. >STOP< Lunin Exposition Ground*. Sixteen times larger than any time­ piece in the world is the floral clock ou the exposition grounds nt St. IxiuIb, which Is located in front of the north entrance to the Palace of Agriculture, a description of which we take fro- • the Scientific American. Although it Is what Is known ns a floral clock, it keeps accurate time, for beneath the vines nnd other plants skilled artisans have constructed machinery similar to the works of a watch, but which In size bears the same comparison ns does the dinotberium, which once inhabited tbe mloccne beds of Europe nnd Asia, to the titmouse of today.

Japanese oiled papers, made from the barks of trees or shrubs, are astonish­ ingly cheap and durable, according to a writer in tlie National Geographic Magazine. As a cover for his load ot tea when a rainstorm overtakes him the Japanese farmer spreads over it a tough, pliable cover of oiled paper which is almost as impervious as tar­ paulin and as light as gossamer. He has doubtless carried this cover for years, neatly packed away somewhere about his cart The rickshaw coolies in the large cities wear rain mantles of this oiled paper, which coat less than 18 cents and last for a year or more with constant use. But perhaps the most remarkable of all the papers which find a common use in the Japanese household are tbe leather papers of which tobacco pouches and pipe eases are made. They are almost as tough as French kid, so translucent that one can nearly see through them and as pliable and soft as calfskin. The material of which they are made Is as thick as cardboard, but as flexible as kid. A deathblow will be dealt to curtain rings If the idea of an Ohio man is adopted by the ladies of the land In hanging their curtains and lambre­ quins.

Corwin, a native of Kentucky, ardently advocated tbe repeal of the old law. A member of the house who had come from Connecticut was active on the opposite side. He urged tbe re­ tention of whipping as a punishment and asserted as a strong point In favor of his contention that he had noticed while living In Connecticut that when­ ever a man was whipped In execution of the sentence of a court of justice he Immediately left the state and did not return. Corwin promptly retorted that be knew many people had come to Ohio from Connecticut, but he had never be­ fore known the reason for their com­ ing.—Cleveland Leader. mister, but I know Dan’s in prison, and Halder is guilty.

A French naval officer has made It possible, with certain clinnges In the fireboxes, to burn a fuel. In the form of petroleum briquettes, which gives off no smoke. The officer claims his in­ vention will give fuel of which one pound is equivalent to four pounds of coal. Tbe briquettes are made by add­ ing to petroleum oil for each liter 150 grams of ground soap, 150 grams of resin and 300 grams of caustic soda lye. This mixture is first heated and stirred until near solidification, when It is poured Into molds, which In turn are then placed in an oven for ten or fif­ teen minutes, and the briquettes are ready for uae after cooling a few hours. Greater solidity may tie obtained by the addition of a small quantity of sawdust and ft little clay or sand.

Jim Leverin’s Daughter Bu ZOE ANDERSON NORRIS CotiurIQhl, 1003, bu Afidenoo Norm j | »ol<*. issuing from a A A lioiid bent over a washtub. came In a half smothered way. “You're washln’, ain't you? Then don’t let me bother you. but K you can stop half a mlnit—I won't ask von to stop but half a mlnit —I want you should lend me a spool of thread." “What number, Jane?" "No. CO." answered Jane. “If you haven't got GO though. 70 ’ll have to do, but I’d rather have 00, If you’vo got It." And she fell to humming a quiet little tune to henelf as Mlrandy disappeared within doors in search of the thread. Presently, coming back, -she ran down tbe steps of the porch and stood by the fence. “I didn't have GO." she regretted. “I couldn't find It anywhere, so I had to bring you 70. I'm sorry, Jane." “Never mind," soothed Jane. “I’ll make it do." Whereupon she leisurely unwound half a yard or so and wound It up again, while Mlrandy waited with sup­ pressed impatience to get back to tbe washing, seeping In the tubs. "You're in a burry?" she questioned by and by, looking up. “Ain't you?" Mlrandy smoothed some wrinkles out "A little," she acknowledged, trying hard to be polite. “Well, then, I won’t keep you a mlnIt," she declared, occupying tbe minute with picking a morning glory leaf from the vine and tearing it systematically half In two. “but have yon heard about Jim Leverin'* daughter Margaret?” she queried. Mlrandy gave a rapid glance kitchen­ ward over her shoulder before she an­ swered, “No." . “It’s what I come to tell yon about," said Jane; “that and to get the thread. Twon’t take a mlnit I know you’re in a hurry, and so am L I must get to my sewin’ or It’ll never get done this side of eternity—sewin’ machines don't ran of their own accord, I’m sorry to say— and tbe things them children needs be­ fore school begins! It fairly makes my balr stand on end to think of the things them children needs, nnd I ain't commenced ’em. But about Jim Leverin's daughter Margaret Yon know, Mlrandy, Jim Leverin'* got more childern than he knows what to do with. Let me see. There's sixteen, ain't there? There’s Lucy and Mary and Net and Nan and Will”— ' She finished inaudibly, used np all her fingers counting and broke off with a laugh. “It ain’t no use," she determined. “I forget half their names, there are so many." She studied for a space. "Ain't it strange now, Mlrandy," she questioned wistfully, “that the good Lord sends so many childern to a man what ain’t got halt enough money to feed and clothe ’em, what has to let ’em sort of grow up lest so’ like and forgets to send sny st all to rich peo­ ple what’s got money to burn? Yes. It allo* ssemed strange to me, past­ in' strange.” There followed another period freight­ ed with thought "But then," she concluded, “when we leave off walkin’ through this vale of tears and gets to that there place where It won’t make no different)* whether there’s cbiktorn or no childern and they don’t take tbe stock in mar­ riage and givln’ in marriage that they do here ’we’ll find out be knew what The unwashed clothing still weighed heavily on Mirandy's mind. “I reckon we will," she assented polltoly, erasing a fleck of soapsuds she had left on her arm with the other hand. Jane put the spool of thread In her pocket and carefully straightened a blns and pink morning glory Into pi***. “Of all the girls Jim Leverin s got. abe iTTommenced. "and he’s got about ten. that tlnre Margaret waa the most harum rearam. H* couldn’t do nothin with her; nothin' at all. She was romp­ in’ from tnornln' till night or lazin' around They couldn't get her to help Id the kitehen or darn the stockin's or niind the bnbles whut was thick as peas In a pod, croppin’ up under your feet everywhere, one a Huie higher than the other, like stair steps. AB they could get her to do was to rend and write and add up sums. Yes. She was smart enough at addin' up sums, I and that was queer, too, for a girl; sc smart she done ail the account keepln' for Jim Leverin—that Is, nil the ac­ count keep In' he had for her to do, which wa'n’t, to sny, nothin’ to hurt." ; "Yes." encouraged Mlrandy, anxious­ ly filling up the pause, which showed symptoms of lasting till the boiler boil­ ed over. "Well,” continued Jane, “aftc.’ a time Jim Leverin. seeln’ the girF wa'n't fit for nothin' on top of earth but. as 1 say, this readlu’, writin* nnd 'rltbmetlc, he cudgeled his brain, hiyln awake o' nights, thlnkln* what to do. Flnnlly he hit on a plan. It was this. You know these here country schools where the teachers teach childern for little or nothin’, boardin' round from place to place for part of their pay aud waitin' till judgment day for the rest?" “Umph hum," replied Mlrandy. with a sigh, part impatience and part resig­ nation. “Jim Leverin, he concluded he'd gd her v job of teachin' one of them coun­ try schools, and he did—one of th* toughest, onerlest country schools he could find for her to teach, up some where* in the mountains where the huts is made of logs with tbe wind blowln’ through and the snow stays a foot thick all the year round, summer and winter. He’d break her, he said, of' her harum scaruni ways. He'd ahow her a thing or two. He'd let her see somethin' of life as It really Is; Just how hard it Is when you have to get right down to rock bottom and dig. “She'd sec then that It wa'n't all piny; that It was downright earnest; that people wa’n’t put on this old earth to run things high handed." । “Some of ’em are," Interjected Ml­ randy. “Jim Leverin wa'n't addin' them kind to his calculations just then, though I've heard him ’xpatlate on 'em when be felt in a different burner. What be was tellln’ Margaret was this—that people was put here to scratch for their livin', and you must own, Mlran­ dy, most of us are. About all we do from mornin’ till night, most of us, is to scratch and dig and scratch and dig. But Margaret, Jim Levetiu said, when she come home from that there moun­ tain school she'd realise, be thought, what a soft snap she'd been havin’, doin’ nothin' day In and day out, layin* round, refusin’ to help in the kitch­ en or pantry or wash tbe dishes or comb the little childern's curls of mornin’s, to sort of help to keep things movin' peaceably along. When she'd had a taste of the seamy side of life she'd be glad enough when she got back home sg’to to work her level best for her mother and the little childern and him. “So he got her ready, as much ready as he could get her with fifteen other mouths to feed and bodies to clothe, and packed her off." A bubbling sound suddenly Issued from the kitchen. Mlrandy glanced wildly around. “You'll have to excuse me a second," cried she. fit’s the boiler boilin’ over. I’ve been waitin’ for It. I knew It would." And she sped up the steps, rushed to the stove, prodded the siz­ zling clothing with the whitened end of a long, large broomstick and then ran back again. “I won't keep you a mlnit longer," declared Jane. “I just wanted to fin­ ish the story, to tell you how it all came out. Well, I went over to see the Leverins the night after Margaret was gone, and, would you believe it, after all his big talk about breakiu* the girl in and makln* her worth somethin’ to other people besides herself In this world and givln* her a taste of rough­ in’ it and that, there set Jim Leverin In a chair by the fireplace, all bumped over ns If he’d lost his last friend In tbe world, his face every whit and grain as long as my arm. “ 'What’s the matter?’ says I. “ ‘Nothin',’ says he. But his wife, settln* tn the other corner of the fire­ place, rockin' a two-year-old baby to sleep, with another not much more than three years old swingin' to her skirts and cryin', speaks up. ‘He’s worryin’,’ says she, 'about Margaret. He's afraid, now that he's sent her way off to them mountains among them strange people, now that he's started her out in life, to sny, driven her from home'—she couldn't speak for a spell for somethin' what got stuck in her throat—'he's sorry for it. And he’d ougbter be.’ she adds when her voice comes to her better, repeatin’, ‘and he'd ougbter be.' “Jim Leverin raises his bead at that ‘I ain't sorry neither,’ be speaks up. sharpllke. But all the time he set there tbe rest of the evenin', dumb as an oyster, with never a word to say to nobody. Because, you see, Mlrandy, harum scaram or no, Margaret was his favorite of the whole sixteen and had alius been." “And did anything happen to her?" Interrogated Mlrandy, beginning at last to be Interested. “Walt. It’s what I was goto’ to teli you. She went to that there mountain school and taught It She boarded round, first one place and then anoth­ er, and never wrote a single complain­ in’ word home to nobody. You'd ’a’ thought from her letters she was hav­ in’ the time of her life, and maybe she was. “It might ’a’ been that that was ex­ actly the sort of life what suited her. harum sca ram as she was. trampin' miles and miles from them places when she boarded to that log school­ house of bars, goto* through all kinds of weather, mud and enow and slush. sv.ch weather that she had to wear men's Loots and take them off when she got there, carryin' her shoes along with her to put on. She wrote that much that she had to wear men's boots, never seemin’ to think then1 was anything about It to euiuplnin of, but then she was like that. There was alius a sort of spunk In the girl what curried her through. Jim Leverin bad to own it Spunk and bravery. Once be told her she was snssy to him, nnd te started to slap her. He raised his hand, he said, but there was somethin' so brave and quick and bright in her black eye he had to stay his hand. It fell at his side of its own accord. He couldn't, lie said. “No. That ain't the holler boilin’ over ag'ln, Mlrandy. Don’t worry. I can see it from here. I’m watebin’ of It. One mlnit longer and I’m done. Margaret hud taught the school six weeks about when she begun to have trouble. Mind you, she didn’t write a word about it till It was nil over and done with. But think how it must ’a’ worried her at the time. Spunky, wa’n't it? Not to write home, both­ erin' ’em about it? It seems that there was a great, big, broad shouldered sunburned feller what was determin­ ed when he see a girl runnin’ the school to break it up. You’ve heard, haven't you, of young men's schools being broke up by toughs? But you’d think they'd let a girls* school alone. Wouldn't yon? But he didn't He made Margaret all tbe trouble he could, and she stood it pretty brave, as I say, far six weeks. Then he got worse and worse till one flue day he brought some ot his puls along with him and said aa how be was going to close tbe School then and there and send that sass}* little teacher home, where she belonged. “Now, as it happened, Margaret had made u few friends for herself the time ahe'd been tenchin*, so she was pretty cer­ tain she could count on some backin' in case of n fighL She wa'n't much afraid; but, then, she don't hardly know what It to to be afraid, nohow. She was nt her desk tenchin', then, that tnornln' when she saw him and his friends comir.' along the road to close up her school. She is a big, broad shouldered, strong girl, that Mar­ garet, muscular as many a boy. She's gone In a little, too, for this here phtxslcal cultcher they talk so much about, expandin' her cheat and the like. She haln't been behindhand either In practic­ in' her muscles on the children in the school. She’d joat about licked one or two of 'em, Jim Leverin told me, laughfa' fit to split his sides, every blessed tnornln' she’d been there, to sort of keep her hand in Ilka So that was how it hap­ pened that she had a fine lot of birch rods hangin’ right over her desk, conven­ ient. when she saw this big giant feiler cornin' to break up her school. "Well, she gets up out of her seat, closes her book and takes down the birch rods." Here Jane commenced to laugh. “And then?" urged Mlrandy. "You'd hardly believe It." gasped Jane, "but that girl Margaret she whipped the big feller with them there birch rods till he yelled for mercy. That's what they said he did, yelled for mercy, bls friends, thunderstruck past helpin' him, I suppose, standin' by with their mouths open, look­ in' on. She whipped him till she got good and tired. Then she let his friends take him home. After that she set down ag’ln. opened her book and went on with the school." Another fit of laughing took possession of her. "And that ain't all," she stammered, finishing with a cough. Mlrandy rested her hands on her hips, the wash forgotten. "What happened?" she queried eagerly. '“That there big feller come back to school the next day, meek as any lamb, turned over a new leaf and took to study­ in'. He got to be Margaret's best pupil, they said, followin' her round *s if he was tied to her apron strings, and after awhile gettin* bo's he could help her with the others. Then when school was out and Margaret was about to come back home, guess what he did.” "He didn't ask her to marry him!" ejac­ ulated Mlrandy. helped to an inspiration by the twinkle fa Jane's eye. "That's just what ho did,” nodded Jane. "Asked her to marry him. You’d think he'd be afraid, wouldn't you, to ask a girl to marry him what had* whipped him TRAINING DAUGHTERS. A CHARMING WOMAN.

That Is a question I am trying to an­ swer from one year's end to another and one which I would put in the fol­ lowing words: A woman is most charm­ ing when she is tender and sympathet­ ic. She may dazzle when she Is merry, but when she Is gentle and full of sympathy she enhances a man's heart. JVben her voice takes a softened tone and her eyes look words that her lips hesitate to speak, then, if she only, knew her power, it would be a bud time for the world nt large, for she could do what she chose, only she never does know It. Probably woman charms most when she is unconscious of it A woman is most charming when she is animated and bright. A tear may prove pity, but It is a smile that com­ mands admiration. But she must not be forever sparkling. She must have her sober moments if only to throw into higher relief the moments when she is gay. A woman Is most charming when she Is good natured. Bad temper never charmed. Good temper Is an attraction even in a plain woman. When a wo­ man has that In addition to her quali­ ties, when she la natural In her man­ ners, unconscious, animated, tender and gentle, then Indeed is she charming to all the world.—American Queen.

Open fires are better than stoves In a nursery, as stoves diy. the atmos­ phere too much. A bit of butter will stop a child's coughing when other remedies fail. Mix with a little sugar if distasteful. As a broad rule, tea ought not to be given to children. Tea is a very poor food. Cocoa Is in every way more sat­ isfactory.

Do anything to avoid bending the back nt an angle. A high stool should be In every kitchen, for it is possible to do much more work while sitting down than one would believe who has not tried It, says Mary Taylor Ross In the Housekeeper.

While Judson Benedict, a workman in French’s Roller mills at Middleville, wtu engaged in his duties, which in­ cluded the oiling of the machinery, lost Thursday he met with a sudden and fearful death. He was alone *ln the basement at the time and as he was dead when found, the exact manner in which the accident happened can not be known. The head miller, George Campbell, noticed a slowing up of the machinery and went into the basement to ascertain the cause, where he saw an oil can lying on the floor and looking up was horrified to see the unfortunate workman wound up in the swiftly re­ volving shaft near the coiling. The mill was quickly stopped, and with some difficulty the body was taken down. Benedict hod climbed up on a ladder to oil a bearing and in some in­ explicable way the round and smooth shaft had caught his clothing about the middle of the body and wound up until it reached the neck which was broken and distorted by the terrible strain. Drs. Swift and Taylor were immedi­ ately summoned but there was nothing for professional skill to do, as the man was dead when found. Mr. Benedict’s home was in Sunfield, where his wife was still living, as he had only worked at Middleville for a few months. He was intending, we understand, to move to Middleville soon. He was about 46 years old and leaves no children. The remains were taken to Sunfield for burial. Mr. French was in Detroit at1 the time of the accident, attending the re­ publican convention. A telegram was ■ent him and he hastened home on the first train, 'being deeply distressed by the accident. The coroner, Dr. Lathrop of Hast­ ings was at once sent for and impanelled a jury which viewed the remains after which the investigation was adjourned. It will be taken up today and concluded. Carr-Doty. At i o'dock p. m., June 29th, the spacious parlors of Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Doty of Banfield, were filled with nearly one hundred guests to witness the marriage of their daughter, Miss Mamie to Mr. Harry L. Carr of Battle Creek. To the strains of a wedding march played by Miss Edith Retalleck of Bat­ tie Creek, the bridal train took position under an arch, in a room nicely,decor­ ated with roses and potted ferns. The bride was beautiful in her white gown and hot-house roses, and the bridegroom handsome in conventional black. The bridesmaid, Mias Mabel Bowman, was tastefully attired in pink. Mr. Ear! Bellinger acted as best man. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. F. Brown of Banfleld. After the happy pair had received congratu­ lations, they were escorted to the din­ ing room where the tables were pretti­ ly decorated with roses and pink rib­ bon, and where all partook of a sump­ tuous repast. After which the bridal couple took their departure amid show­ ers of rice and good wishes to their home in Battle Creek. The presents were elegant and num­ erous, 8200 In gold being given by Mr. and Mrs. Doty and several smaller sums by other friends. ALTON BROOKS PARKER. HE NOMINATION of Alton B. Parker of New 1°* ^rst P^ace on the democratic national ticket, though not accomplished at the time the JJjASjJrS Herald goes to press, is generally conceded. The JoSSr convention opened yesterday noon, amid great enthusiasm, the great Coliseum being crowded and thousands unable to gain admission, and after listening to the brilliant speech of the temporary chairman, John Sharp Williams, adjourned until today. In the meantime the sev­ eral committees have met, organized and decided the various im­ portant questions that came before them, so that when the conven­ tion meets today its action will be pretty well outlined. Enough delegations have decided to support Parker to make his success almost certain. The Michigan delegation decided by a vote of 18 to 10 to sup­ port Parker. It chose D. J. Campau member of the national com­ mittee and Thos. E. Barkworth member of the committee on reso­ lutions. Michigan Central Excursions. NEW COLISEUM, ST.

Bicyclists, the Last Call. James H. MeKevltt. ex-sheriff of Barry county, died at his home in Mid­ dleville Saturday, July 2, after an Ill­ ness of about five months, from cancer of the stomach. Mr. MeKevltt was born in the town­ ship of Brutus, Cayuga county, New York, July 24. 1842, and was 62 years and 22 days old at the time of his de­ mise. His childhood was spent on the farm, where he attended country school and acquired a good common school education. At the age of 23 he left the scenes of his boyhood and came to Cannonsburg, Kent county, Michi­ gan, where he engaged in farming and two years later, in the spring of 1868, he came to Middleville. Here he went into the moat market business which he *contiuued with success until 1884. During these years he engaged exten­ sively in stock and shipping transac­ tions, haring shipped the first car load of hogs ever sent out of Middleville. During these years of business activ­ ity Mr. MeKevltt was also honored with many public offices, having I been at various times deputy sheriff, village trustee, village assessor and township supervisor, holding the last named , office for ten successive terms. '■ In 1892 he was elected sheriff of Barry county and was re-elected in 1894. Upon the expiration of his second term in 1896 he moved to his farm near Middleville where he remained until the spring of 1903, when he moved into the village and lived there until his death. Socially, Mi*. MeKevltt was genial, unassuming, plain and straightforward in manner and speech and honorable in all the relations of life. He had a host of friends. He leaves three sons, Harry D. of Spokane, Wash., James, A. of Cadillac, and William A., of Middleville. He was a member of Middleville Masonic lodge and Eastern Star Chapter and of Hastings Chapter, R. A. M. The funeral was held from his home Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock, un­ der the auspices of Middleville Lodge, • F. and A. M. of which he was a charter member. In accordance with his wish there Was no ceremony aside from the Masonic service which was very im­ pressively conducted by Jas. L. Craw. ley, of Hastings. Each of the orders named above sent beautiful floral trib­ utes. The pall bearers were his three sons, I. H. Keeler and two nephews, W. A. Severance and G. M. Johnson.

The strong probability of the action of the democracy at St. Louis which was pointed out by tbe Herald several months ago, ha* become a reality. Judge Alton B. Parker’s Domination is practically arenred this (Thursday) morning. The opposition to the New York jurist has been sharp and intense, but it* inability to concentrate upon one man or upon a single line of action has prevented its success. And now It is to be hoped that the ticket will be completed with a strong and satisfactory candidate for the vice presidency, and a truly democratic de­ claration of principles. i; ■ Two Features of Chicago Platform. 'it does not require a very careful study of the republican national plat­ form. to discover two things about it: First that it contain* a number of gen\ era! statement* over which there could possibly be no issue made between the two parties; secondly that it omit* to •ay anything about several questions which are of great importance to the country and upon which the country is entitled to some expression from the > leaders of a great party. Under the first head come the state­ meats that “A navy powerful enough to defend the United States against any , attack, to uphold the Monroe doctrine and watch over our commerce 1* essen­ tial to the safety and the welfare of the American people;’that the civil service law shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced; that ample provision should be made for the soldiers and sailors of the United States; that “*e favor the peaceful settlement of international dif­ ferences by arbitration;” that “it is . the unquestioned duty of the govern­ ment to procure for all our eitisens, witboat distinction, the right* of travel ' and sojourn In friendly countries.” • These declaration* might just as properlybsused in a democratic platform as in a republican. There can be no ? difference of opinion upon them, nor . . will the democratic platform make any -f I attempt to take Issue with it* adversary upon there geasraUy accepted truth*. But it surely will take strong and une. 1 It planks upon tbe tariff and ship subsidy legislation. In tbe second place there are qusstiooa before the country upon which tbe republican platform la strangely silent. For instance, tbe ultimate policy to be pursued towards the Philippines is not indicated in thia platform. Certainly tbl* is a matter of great moment. Does tita republican party propose to go on forever bolding the Filipino people in subjection or will it eventually give the same freedom to these people that we gave to the Cubans? Surely the voters have a right to know what pol­ icy the republican party intends to pur­ sue with the Philippines. Then there is the question of state­ hood for tbe three territories that have been so long knocking for admission in­ to the union of states. Are Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona to be kept out indefinitely? . Again, there is the question of msetlog the tremendous cost of tbe national government. Is there any way to cut down tbe extravagant expenditures which are depleting tbe national treas­ ury, or must the present menacing de­ ficit be ignored until it brings financial distress upon the government? The re­ publican platform says not a word upon thia important question. These are some of the matters which the Chicago platform Ignores. Were they passed over because the republi­ can administration considered them ld' important, or because it was afraid to rail the attention of the nation to them, for fear that its own shortcomings or lack of definite policy concerning them might thus be made too glaringly ap­ parent? A Duty and An Opportunity. r■ ■j The rejection of genuine primary re­ form by tbe republican convention at Detroit will place before the democrats of Michigan both a duty and an oppor­ tunity that must not be neglected. The duty is to incorporate into the state platform a clear cut declaration for a genuine primary election law, and the opportunity is to rescue the state of Michigan from the hands of a political machine whose rule is becom­ for a primary election law has been growing and the republican politicians who control the public affairs of the state have been dallying with the voters. Time after time the republi­ can party in its conventions, in its plat­ forms and in its press, has promised to give the people what they want, and every time it has broken its pledges. At the recent convention in Detroit the demand for primary reform was so in­ sistent and formidable that it could not be wholly ignored, and the result was the adoption of a half way measure, calculated to propitiate the reformers, while in no way meeting tbe wishes of the people. Does anyone imagine that a law requiring ail caucuses to be held at the same time would eliminate the machine which now manipulates cau­ cuses and conventions? True it would prevent “snap” conventions but the people want the convention system of nominating tickets to be supplanted by the primary system. No such makeshift as the republican machine has conceded in its latest plat­ form will meet tbe exigencies of the case and the great mass of honest voters know it. They will not be satis­ fied with such evasion. They have been given a stone when they asked for bread, and unle» their present temper undergoes a great change before elec­ tion day they are ready to repudiate machinism if only the chance is offered them. Let then the democratic party of Michigan seize the opportunity that confront* it.- When the state nominat­ ing convention is held in Grand Rapids, let a ringing declaration for real pri­ mary reform be placed in the platform and let a strong man be nominated for governor—one In whose honesty, ability and courage the people have implicit confidence—and the result will be the discomfiture of the machine and the election of a set of state officials that will give the people what they want, genuine and effective election reform. It will be objected that in a presi­ dential campaign state issues will be lost sight of and the machine ticket ■will be swept Into power by virtue of national interest. But this will not necessarily follow, by any means. Re­ publicans can easily vote for Roosevelt and republican congressmen, and at the same time cut their state ticket if they wish. There is nothing in tbe world to hinder their doing this, and. in their present mood ot Indignation against the machine that Is so insolent­ ly defying their wishes it should occssloc no surprise to see the repudi­ ation of macbinlam by the electorate of Michigan, even though the republican national ticket be endorsed. The Only Compensation for It is curious that while tbe prohibi­ tion party never takes a drop it takes a Swallow LATEST FROM THE CONVENTION , Owing to an unavoidable de­ lay in going to press the Herald is able to give the news of the democratic convention up to Thursday night. Thursday after­ noon’s session was occupied en­ tirely in a sharp debate over the report of the committee on cre­ dentials. The fight in the open convention w’as over the case of Illinois. Mr. Bryan made a bitter attack upon the majority report which favored the Hopkins dele­ gates, but when the test came on roll call the report of the cre­ dentials committee was sustained by a vote of 657 to 299. The convention adjourned at 6:20 p. m. until 10:00 o’clock this morning when the report of the committee on resolutions and nominations will be taken up.

May 19, 1780, was the “dark day” In New England. Darkness commenced in the forenoon aud covered the coun­ try from New York to Maine. In Cheshire, England, there are ter sods of a prophet, one Robert Nixon, who la supposed to have lived la the days ot King James I. His fams spread, and the king sent for him, ac­ cording to the story. Nixon was great­ ly distressed. He wept and mourned, saying that If be went to London he should be starved. When be arrived at court the king, having hidden a ring, asked him to find it Nixon replied, “He who hkleth can find.” This great­ ly struck the monarch, who ordered him to be kept In the kitchen so that there might be do fear of bis being starved. Nixon had a great appetite— be could manage a leg of mutton at a sitting—and be became such a nuisance thnt one day the cooks locked him in a closet. Here lie was forgotten, and his prophecy came true—be was starved to death. The closet is shown In Hamp­ ton Court; but, unfortunately for tbe veracity of the tale, that portion of the building was not built till the reign of King William III. Some think that the phrase “to save one’s bacon” arose at the time of the civil wars in England, when house­ wives in the country had to take ex­ traordinary precautions to save bacon, their principal provision, from tbe greedy appetite of soldiers. In a slang sense bacon stands for the human body, and "to save one’s ba­ con" is just to escape, so that when it is said that a man bus saved his bncon it refers to himself, as do the cognate expressions, "Spare my bacon" and “Sell one’s bacon.” Thus in Carlyle's ••Schiller" we read, "To the kaiser I sold my bacon, and by him good charge of the whole Is taken.” Others have less probably connected the phrase with the times when heresy was expiated at the stake, and a man wns suid to have “saved bls bacon" who had narrowly escaped being burn­ ed alive. The French have a very similar phrase, "Sauver son lard." ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Now is the time for the democratic party of Michigan to “stand pat’’ for a straight out-and-out democratic ticket. • Beginning at 2:30 o’clock, at Disasters. The only compensation that can come out of such horrors sa the Iroquois and General Slocum disasters is the effect they have upon the enforcement of laws for safeguarding human life. There Is hardly a city in the whole world in which the authorities bare not been prompted by the Iroquois disaster to take very effective measures to pre­ vent such a catastrophe from occurring in their own theatres or public build­ Ings- No doubt the danger from fire occurring in crowded buildings has been greatly reduced in consequence of the awful lesson of the Chicago holo­ caust. And now that the even more appall­ ing loss of life baa attended the de­ struction of the big excursion steamer at New York, another lesson has been tardily and sadly enforced. At a dread­ ful cost of human lives tbe fact has been made apparent that the regula­ tions designed to protect psseogers on excursion steamers have been very gen•rally neglected and that nothing has been lacking on many a popular steam­ boat to furnish a Slocum horror except the starting of a fire. In consequence ot this realization of remiasness so startlingly brought home by the awful fate of tbe Slocum, there is a universal activity on the part of responsible officials, to overcome the dangerous conditions thst have hitherto obtained. Thus tbe sacrifice of a thous­ and lives in the Slocum disaster will bring about greater safety to all the water traveling public.

Many a man lias failed to guess an easy riddle because Hie simple solution looked like a trap to him. Here Is an Instance In which this trait of human nature was cleverly played upon by a Japanese nobleman. * The old lord had been forced to tlee with only 300 men before nn enemy with 10.000 and barely had time to reach his castle abend of his foes. There were no re-enforcements near at hand, and tic knew that if an attempt was made to storm his defenses he and his men would be dead before help could come. The enemy’s forces advanced rapid­ ly, and scouts rode up near the castle to reconnoiter. To their amazement. । they found the gntes, doors and win­ dows open and all the appearance of a holiday celebration. They rode hasti­ ly back to inform their master thnt the foe was dancing nnd that bands were playing music in the castle. The powerful enemy was too wise a man to put his head into any such trap as thnt. The defenders of the castle must have some plan to slaughter his forces by wliolesule or they would never Invite him In thnt way. He drew back a safe distance and en­ camped to await developments. Soon the re-enforcements for the cas­ tle came up behind, attacked lilm sud­ denly and defeated him, while the gar­ rison which had risked all on its strategem, charged him on the other side. The word bamboo suggests to most Americans a faithful fishing rod or a H-lnty fan. To tho Japanese and Chi­ new, who are the most practical ngrlrulturlsts in the world, it Is as Indiapensable ns the white pine to the । American farmer. They are not unly • dependent upon It for much of their building material, but make their ropes, mats, kitchen utensils nnd In­ : lumerable other articles out of it. I There are many varieties of the 1mm1 Imo plant, from the species which Is j woven Into mats to the tall bamboo tree which the Chinaman uses for the • mast of bls large boat. One variety Is ' cultivated ns u vegetable and the ' young shoots eaten like asparagus, or • they may be salted, pickled or pre­ served. | The rapidity of growth of the bam­ boo is perhaps its most wonderful chnr' acteristlc. There are actual records ! of a bamlxst growing three feet In a I single day, or at the rate of one and a j half inches an hour. I Varieties of bamboo nre found ev­ I erywhere in Japan, even where there {are heavy falls of snow in winter. It Is a popular misconception that bnm' boos grow only In the tropics. Japan I Is n land of bamboos, nnd yet where these plants grow It is not so warm in winter as It Is In California.—National Geographic Magazine. >STOP< | • ! . | [Ccerrtrtt. um. by c b uwj WT came r.pon Mr. Borer all ot a hearted vampire and hinted thnt he ■ sudden.

His reply: "It Isn't necessary to men­ tion names. In fact, it isn’t possible to do so. Tbe greatest restaurateur in New York or In the whole world is the man who can tell today how many people he will have to feed tomorrow.” There Is one house downtown where nn average of 400 mouths are fed daily. But one day there may be 500 and an­ other 150. Where is the barometer that is to tell iM'forehand. In time for orders to butcher, baker and candlestick mak­ er, pretty nearly the number that must be provided for on the morrow? If there are 500 today shall enough food for 500 be ordered for tomorrow? if so, and only 150 come, what is to be done with the surplusage ot meats, vegetables, bread, etc.? And If 150 come today nnd food for 150 Is ordered for tomorrow, what Is to become ot tbe management when 500 come on the morrow and the larder !s empty?

WHEN YOU NEED ANY Was Playing in Lumber Shed When A Pile of Heavy Plank Fell 48 or Shoes IN HABIT r of trading with G. H- OSBORN The Clothing and Shoe Man. On Him. Last Friday afternoon a very distres­ sing accident occurred at Bauer Bros.’ lumber yards by which little Lawrence, the six years old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. 1*. Renkes lost his life. It seems that five or six little boys were playing in the long lumber shed, □ear the east end. Duane Bauer and C. measuring some lumber. They heard W. Mixer were in the shed at the time, a noise of. falling lumber at the end of the shed and saw the boys running about excitedly. Repairing hastily to the spot they found that a pile of heavy plank had tipped over and that one of the boys was beneath it. As quickly as possible they lifted aside the planks and there lay the lifeless form of little Lawrence. HLsskull had been broken by the blow, and his body bent double by tbe heavy weight. Aside from the fractured skull no bones were broken, but death was probably instantaneous from the blow on the head. It seems that Lawrence had been sitting on the ground wltl\his back to the pile of lum­ ber playing in the sand, and that the other boys in their play had in some way caused the. pile to tipple over. Dr. Snyder was soon, at the scene and made sufficient examination to decide that life was extinct and the little body was conveyed' home to the distracted parents. Dr. Lathrop was summoned in bis capacity as coroner but decided that an inquest was not necessary. The funeral was held at St. Rose’s church Monday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Renkes have the sym-; patfay of tbe community in their sudden and sad bereavement. Patrick Dooley.

AIWiRC On July 5th, 1904, all that was mortal of Patrick Dooley was lovingly laid to rest in the Bowne Catholic cemetery. The Requiem High Mass was sung by Rev. Father Crumbly of Cascade and the sermon was given by Rev. Father Connor of Hastings. Deceased was born in Kilkenny coun­ ty, Ireland, and when about live yearn of age, came to America with his par­ ents. His early boyhood days were spent In Cleveland, Ohio, and he was educated in the Catholic schools of that city. When about 16 years of age he en­ listed in the Union army, but on ac­ count of disability, was honorably dis­ charged before he hud an opportunity to see actual service in the south, and about one year later came to Michigan where he spent several years of strenu­ ous life in tbe lumbering regions of Northern Michigan. On June 22d, 1868 he was married to Miss Margaret Mc­ Carthy of Grattan, who survives him. Mr. Dooley was for many years a prominent figure in township and coun­ ty politics. He acted us county drain commissioner of this county for six consecutive years. His death which occurred-July 1st, was caused by can­ cer of the stomach and his health had been failing for many mouths. Al­ though suffering with intense pain and weakness for several weeks prior to the close of his official work, he by force of wIH power, heroically continued his labors until within a few days of the close of his official term last January. He leaves a wife and nine children to mourn the loss of a kind and affection­ ate husband and father. Mrs. Leonard Smith. Mrs. Leonard Smith died at her home in the second ward, Wednesday, July 6th, of tuberculosis, aged 40 years, 6 months and 6 days. Adeth Henderson was born in Cas­ cade, Dubuque County, Iowa, Decem­ ber 31st, 1857. At the age ef 4 years she moved with her parents to Canada and in 1865 removed to Traverse City, where she was married April 25th, 1880 to Leonard Smith. To them three sons were born. In 1891 they moved to Grand Rapids, while there she united with the Fountain Street Baptist church and was baptized March 15th, 1892. Id April of tbe some year they moved to Rutland, Barry Co., where she joined the M. E. church at North Irving. After living 6 years in Rutlaud and 4 yeais in Maple Grove they moved to Hastings, where she lived until tbe time of her death. Mrs. Smith has been a great sufferer I* for many years but was patient and hopeful to the last. She is survived by “ husband, three son., Edwin D.. Eben L., and LeRoy, n step-daughter, Mrs. I Homer Ingram of this city, four brothera and a host of friends. Her remains were laid at rest Saturday in Riverside 11.00 a Ybab Mrs. Caroline Odell. Died at. her home one mile west of Coats Grove. July 2d, 1904, Mrs. Caro­ line Odell in the 64th year of her age. Cnrloline Matilda Jakeway was born Feb. 24th, 1837 in Oakland county, Michigan, and was married at. the age of 19 years to Wm. A. Odell of James­ town, Ottawa county, Michigan. Two children were born to them, W. Fred and Edith M., now Mrs. A. K. Richardson, with whom she bas resided since the death of her husband 25 years ago. Mrs. Odell with her .husband united with the Church of God many years ago and has ever lived a consistent Christ­ ian life, respected and beloved by neighbors and friends. She leaves besides her children, eight grandchildren, one brother and three sisters to mourn their loss. She was laid to rest by the side of her husband in the Fuller cemetery, there to sleep until the resurrection morning. "Basking in the sun” Is in Itself of real and considerable benefit, and it la no compliment to our human Intelli­ gence to find that cats and dogs under­ stand that fact much better than* we do. The love of sunshine Is naturally one of our strongest Instincts, and we should be far healthier and happier if we followed and developed It instead of practically Ignoring and repressing it How n sparkling sunny morning exhilarates us aiid makes us feel that "it’s too fine a day to spend Indoors!” And yet how few holidays are taken for that reason! The wealth of the sunbeams is poured out lavishly all around us, and we turn from it to struggle for a few pitiful handfuls of something else that is yel­ low and shining, but not half so likely to bring us happiness and often has strange red spots upon it. Give nature a chance, and we shall find that there is more than a mere fanciful connec­ tion between natural sunlight and that "sunny'* disposition which, after all, is the true "phllottopber’s stone.” Memorial Resolutions. In some parts of Europe an omelet made from the eggs of the long eared owl Is believed to be an effective cure for drunkenness. In Germany tbe raven is supposed to be able to procure a magic stone that gives invisibility to the wearer. It is apparently not a simple matter to ob­ tain, for in the first place, after dis­ covering tbe neat, you must satisfy yourself that the old birds are at least over a century old. Then you climb to the nest and must either take out an egg, boll it hard and replace it, or if there should be young you. must kill a male nestling—it must be a male—and replace it also. After this the spot must be^most carefully marked, for the parent bird, if be is old enough, will return with, the magic stone, which will render thf nest invisible, and it Is apparently frou the spot where yoa judge the nest ought to be that you must pluck tbe prize.—Westminster Gazette. Leieada ef the Owl Resolutions adopted by the Welcome W.C. T. U. upon the death of Mrs. Amelia Brant, who departed this life May 20th, 1904: WhereoH, the late Mrs. Brant, a member of this Union, has been re­ moved from our midst by death. For many years Sister Brant was a member of tbe Star W. C. T. U. Although she has been able to meet with us but few times for several months, she bos al­ ways remembered the needs of the Union.

France has been a seesaw nationfirst up, then down—and its position may be reckoned by the kings it had. One was St Louis, and another was Hutin, meaning "headstrong or muti­ nous.” Another king was the Long, while his successors were Handsome, Fortunate, Good, Wise. Beloved and Affable. France must surely have been on the top then and have progressed farther wheu two kings were respec­ tively called the father of hla people and the father of letters. Denmark has had a most curious ar­ ray of sovereigns, the Blue Tooth, Forked Beard, Simple, Hungry, Hare­ foot Lamb', Pious and Cruel being among them. This latter, who was Christian II., belied his real name by gaining tbe additional title of the Nero of the North. There was probably lit­ tle happiness in Denmark wheu lie sat upon the throne.

The court takes the ground that the property rights of complainants would be materially affected, as shown by the proof in the case. “It does not seem to me.’’says Judge Smith in bis decision, ‘•that the doctrine of police power is applicable to a case of this nature. It seems to me that where the rights of a party will be so materially affected as will the rights of complainants if this drain should be made, there should be some provision of the law by which the damage could be estimated and provid­ ed for. It is not contended that com­ plainants have bad au opportunity to hove their rights passed upon in this matter. Tbe law does not provide for this. Under the law the drain commis­ sioner Is not obligated to give them no­ tice and ho has not done so. “It is the claim of the defendant that if the court determines that complain­ ants have been damaged and ought to be heard as to the same, the case be re­ manded to tbe county drain commis­ sioner for further proceedings on his part, in which complainants would bo given notice to appear and tbe matter ' of their damage determined. This po­ sition may be well taken but I dp not think so. There is no provision of the law in such a proceeding, and the na­ ture of complainants' damage is such that I have great doubt as to whether they can be compelled to submit to such a proceeding. But be that as it may, the statute does not provide for it and the pleadings do not ask for it and I am of the opinion it ought not to be done.” The case will probably be appealed.

Pierson & Son �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1904 DEMOCRAT . i PLATFORM PENOUNCES CONGRESSIONAL FA­ VOR TO CERTAIN INTERESTS. ••WARTIAL. RIGHTS TO CAPITAL AND LABOR. . FAVORS REVISION ANO GRADUAL fit Louis, July 9.—Following is platform of the Democratic party 1904. as unanimously auopted by tbe national convention. The Democratic party of the Lulled Btates, in national conventloi^assem­ bled. declares its devotion to the es­ sential principles of tbe Democratic faith which brings us together in party communion. Under them local self-government sad national unity and prosperity were alike established. They underlaid ior. Independence, the structure of our free republic, and every Democratic exten­ sion from Louisiana to California and. Pexns to Oregon, which preserve*’, faithfully in all the states the tie be­ tween taxation and representation. They yet inspire the masses of our. people, guarding jealously their rights and liberties and cherishing their fra­ ternity, peace and orderly develop-i saent They remind w of our duties and responsibilities a* citizens and Im-' press upon us, particularly at this, time, the necessity of reform and the rescue ct tbe administration of govern-’ ment from, the headstrong, arbitrary, and spasmodic methods which distract business by uncertainty, and pervade tbo public mind with dread, distrust and perturbation. , Fundamental Principles. I 1. Tbe application of these funda■oental principles to the living issues at the day is the first step toward the assured peace, safety and progress of onr nation. Freedom of the press, of conscience and of speech—equality before tbe law of all citizens; right of trial by jury—freedom of the person defended by the writ of habeas cor­ pus; liberty of personal contract un-­ trammeled by sumptuary laws; au­ thority; a well-disciplined militia; the separation of church and state; econ­ omy In expenditures; low taxes, that ?»bor may be lightly burdened, prompt and sacred fulfillment cf public and private obligations: fidelity to treat-' 2os; peace and friendship with all na-! Hons: entangling alliances with none; absolute acquiescence in the will of. the majority, the vital principle of re­ publics—these are the doctrines which' Democracy has established, approved by the nation, and they should be con stantly invoked and enforced. ; Capital and Labor. f Wo favor the enactment and admin­ istration of laws giving capital and labor impartially their just rights. Capitol and labor ought not to be en­ emies. Bach is nocosaary to the other.* Bach has its rights, but the rights of labor are certainly no less "uDOllen-' •Me" than the right* of capital. We Beoy the right at any executive to dis-’ ■egard or suspend any constitutional­ privilege or limitation. We favor liberal appropriations for tbe care and Improvement of tbe wa­ terways of tbe country. We oppose the Republican policy of starving home development in order to food the greed for conquest, and fbe appetite for cations! “prestige" •ad display of strength. , Henoetja of Administration. '. Lmrge reductions can readily bo anade in tbe annual expend! tuiee of the government without Impairing the eSdenoy at any branch of the public service, and wo shall Insist upon th* strictest ecoeomy and frugality com­ patible with vigorous and efficient, •tvil, military and naval administra­ tion as a right of the people, too dear tn be denied or withheld. . We favor enforcement of boneety in public service and to that end a tnor•ngh legislative investigatioa ct those executive departments of the govern­ ment already known to teem with correption, as well as other deportment* enepected of harboring corruption, and lhe punishment of ascertained eorrupttentots without fear or favor or rw gard to persons. | Federal Contract With TrostsWe condemn the action of lhe Re­ publican party In congress in refusing to prohibit an executive department from entering Into contracts with conqtoted trusts or unlawful combina­ tions in restraint of Interstate trade. We believe that one of tbe best methpa* of procuring economy and honMty in the public service Is to have public officials, from the occupant of the While House down to the lowest cf them, returned as nearly as they '00 to Jeffersonian simplicity of living. We favor the nomiaalion and elec­ tion of a president imbued with the principles of the Constiuilion v.ho will set hls face sternly against executive usurpation of legislative and judicial functions, whether the usurpation be veiled under the guise of executive construction of existing laws, or whether it take refuge in the tyrant's pleas of necessity or superior wisdom.. Imperialism. We favor the preservation, insofar as can be. of an open door for the world's commerce In the Orient, with­ out unnecessary entanglement in Ori­ ental and European affairs and with­ out arbitrary, unlimited. Irresponsible and absolute government anywhere within our jurisdiction. We oppose ns fervently ns did George Washington himself an indefinite, irresponsible dis­ cretionary and vague absolullstn and a polfey of colonial exploitation no mat- ►r where or by whom Invoked or exer­ cised: we believe with Thoma* J eft er*<>n and John Adams that no govern•nent hss a right to malic one set of .aws for those “at home" and another lud a different set of laws, absolute in their character for l nose in the col­ onies. All men under the American flag are entitled to the protection of •be institution whose einWem the flag is; if they are Inherently unfit for -hose institutions then they are Inher­ ently unfit to be members of the American body politic. We Insist that we ought to do for tne Filipino what we have already done for the Cubans. And It Is our Intent, as soon as it can be done wisely and safely for the Fill plnos themselves, and after amicable Arrangements with them concerning aaval stations, coaling stations and trade relations, and upon suitable guarantees of protection to all nationsi and International interests, to set Lhe Filipinos upon their feet, free and Independent, to work out their own les tiny. Tariff. The Democratic party has been and will continue to be, the consistent op­ ponent of that class of tariff legisla­ tion by which certain interests have been permitted, through congressional favor .to draw a heavy .rfbule from the American people. This monstrous perversion of those equal gpportunitles which our political institutions were established to secure, has caused what may once have been Infant in­ dustries to become the greatest com­ bination* of capital that the world has ever known. These especial favorites aC the government have, through trust methods, been converted into monopo­ lies, thus bringing to an end domestic competition, which was the only al­ leged check upon , the extravagant profits made possible by the protec­ tive system. These industrial combip&tions, by the financial assistance \hey can give, now control the policy 9t the Republican party. We denounce protection as a rob­ bery of, the many to enrich' the few, ana we favor a tariff limited to the needs of the government, economically administered and so levied as not to discriminate against any industry, class or section, to the end that the burdens of taxation shall be distrib­ uted as equally as possible. We favor a revision and a gradual reduction of the tariff by the friends of the masses and for the common weal, and not by the friends of Its abuses, its extortions and its discrim­ inations, keeping In view the ultimate ends of “equality of burdens and equal­ ity of opportunities" nnd the constitu­ tional purpose of raising a revenue by taxation to wit: the support of the federal government in all its integrity and virility, but In simplicity. Trusts and Unlawful Combinations. We recognize , that the gigantic trusts and combinations designed to enable capital to secure more than its just share of tbe joint products of cap­ ital and labor and which have been fostered and promoted under Repub­ lican rule are a menace to beneficial competition and an obstacle to perma­ nent business prosperity. A private monopoly is Indefensible and intoler­ able. Individual equality of opportunity and free competition are essential to a healthy and permanent commercial prosperity, and any trust, combination ar monopoly tending to destroy these by controlling production, restricting competition or fixing prices, should be prohibited and punished by law. We especially denounce rebates and dis­ crimination by transportation compa­ nies as the most potent agency In pro­ moting and strengthening these unlaw­ ful conspiracies against trade. We de­ mand aa enlargement of the powers cf the Interstate commerce commis­ sion, to the end that the traveling pub­ lic and shippers of this country may have prompt and adequate relief from the abuses to which they .are subject­ ed in the matter of transportation. We demand a strict enforcement of exist­ ing civil and criminal statutes against al such trusts, combinations and monopolies, and we demand the enact­ ment' of such further legislation as may be necessary to effectually sup­ press them. Any trust or unlswfu! combination engaged in interstate commerce which Is monopolizing any branch of business or production, should not be permit­ ted to transact business outside of the state of its origin. Whenever it shall be established in any court of compe­ tent Jurisdiction that sueh monopoliza­ tion exists, such prohibition should be enforced through comprehensive laws to be enacted on the subject. Isthmian Canal. The Democracy when Intrusted with power will construct the Panama canal speedily, honestly and economically, thereby giving to our people whst Democrats have always contended for —* great Interocean Ic canal, furnish­ ing shorter and cheaper lines of transpoitotlon and broader and less tram­ meled trade relations with the other peoples of the world. We favor election of United States tenators by direct vote of the people. We favor tbe admission of the terri­ tories of Oklahoma and the Indian territory. We also favor the immedi­ ate admission of Arizona and New Mexico as separate states and a ter­ ritorial government for Alaska and Forto Rico. We demand the extermination of polygamy within the jurisdiction of the United States and the complete .n—church and state In po­ litical affgira. Marchant Marins. We denounce the ship subsidy bill; nt favor the upbuilding of a merchant aiarme without new or additional bur* dens upon the people and without bounties from the public treasury. We favor liberal trade arrangements with Canada and with people of other countries. We favor * the — maintenance * if the Monroe doctrine in its fnll integrity. We favor the reduction of the army . ind of navy expenditure to the point historically demonstrated to be safe ind sufficient. The Democracy would secure to II.e surviving soldiers and sailors and their lependants. generous pensions, not by in arbitrary executive order, but by egislatlou which a grateful people Hand ready to enact. The Democratic party stands com­ mitted to the principles of civil service tcforni, and we demand their honest, just r.nd Impartial enforcement. Race Question. Ihe race question has brought countless woes to this country. The calm .wisdom of the American people should see to it that it brings no more. Wc therefore deprecate and condemn lhe B011 rbon-1 Ike.

It violated a plain statute of the United States, as well as plain treaty obligations, inter­ national usages and constitutional law; and has done so under pretense of executing a great public policy which could have more easily been ef­ fected lawfully, constitutionally and Il forced strained and unnatural constructions upon statutes, usurping judicial interpretation and substituting congressional enactment decree.

July 11.—The recent reconnoissance in force beyond Hoi Yan was carried out with swiftness and decision. The Russians twice caught the Japanese napping and demon­ strated the effectiveness of Russian bayonet work once the troops get to close quarters. Count Keller personally accompa­ nied the force to Hol Yan. and from there sent Colonel Garnets!, with three companies, to the right toward Tcha Kuraen Za. and Colonel Letschitsky, with two battalions. In the direction of Takalinze. Colonel Garnetsl's column arrived at th? Japanese eamp at midnight July 4. A Japanese piclcet was surprised and wiped out after fighting bravely, one Japanese killing a Russian officer In a sword duel. Rush Into Jap Camp.

He caught the Jap­ anese camp asleep at 2 o'clock in the morning and carried it with the bay­ onet after terrlbl^slaughter and with­ out firing a shot.

The Japanese are probably the best soldiers in the world. I don’t mean to say that American troops properly trained and seasoned could not cope with them, but our soldiers do fear death, while THE JAPANESE SEEM ACTUALLY TO COURT IT, and their fanaticism is not the fanaticism of a Moro, who rushes at a line of Mauser rifles with a knife, but it is the COURAGE OF INTELLI­ GENCE. which tean do a lot of damage before death comes. The Japanese leaders are educated soldiers, and so, at least, have made fewer mistakes than tlie Russians. The FUNDAMENTAL mistake of the Russians was in having their fleet divided when the war began. They ought to have had all their ships in the harbor at Vladivostok, where they would have been perfectly protected until the time came WHEN THEY COULD USE THEM IO AD­ VANTAGE. *1 Segregation For the Negro By President HYDE of Bowdoln College ‘ < — UFFRAGE is not the right of any race AS A RACE, but of those individuals of a race who are able to cxerhmw ciso it WITH INTELLIGENCE and responsibility. Granting the suffrage to thriftless and illiterate negroes was the gigantic blunder of the north; withholding the suffrage from intelligent and responsible negroes would be an EVEN GREATER BLUNDER if generally adopted by the south. Pun­ ishment of brutal crimes committed by members of one race against members of another rx.ee must be swift, sure and severe, but the protection of white and black alike demands that such punishment be BY DUE PROCESS OF LAW. SEGREGATION IN SCHOOL. CHURCH ANO SOCIETY WHEREVER THE NEGROES ARE NUMEROUS IS IN THE INTERESTS OF RACIAL RfTEGRITY AND RACIAL PROGRESS. The Proper Sphere of Women By MARY PUTNAM JACOBI. Eminent Nev York PhyaXcisn O the extent to which women resemble men they require the SAME liberties; to the extent to which they differ they require their own representation, and the state requires THEIR special influence. Under the new regime of universal man­ hood suffrage the state has become like a mining camp on the fron­ tier. We claim that it should be reconstituted AS A HOUSE­ HOLD, where, if man is at the head for the protection and the de­ fense, woman shall have her equal place as the mother, the daughter, the caretaker, tlie administrator, tlie conserver. We do not propose to change the existing sphere of women. Women will not be sent into a new place by possession of the ballot*; like men, they will vote in the places WHERE THEY Al READY STAND—in the mart, the factory, the place of business, and also in the schoolroom, the library, the hospital, and, far more often than alL IN THE HOUSEHOLD. - a � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/22/658/HastingsHerald_1904-07-21.pdf 3b3de984c4b99b915bd493e35ce1d108 PDF Text Text Hastings H Vol. XXV. No. HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1904. POPULATION OF HASTINGS HAVE GAINED THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SIX IN FOUR£YEARS. WHEN YOU NEED ANY The Enumerators Say There are Thirty-five Hundred and Fifty­ 28 or Shoes IN Eight Of Us. When compared with the majority of Michigan towns the population of Hast­ ings has made a very satisfactory in­ crease during the last four yearn. In 1000 the figures were 3172; in 11)04 they are .3558, a gain of 386 in four years, or a per cent of 12 1-0. While these fig­ ures do not show any phenomenal growth, they nevertheless indicate that our little city is enjoying at least a fair .degree of development. It should be borne in mind that this growth has in reality been made during the last two years and that the indications are fav­ orable for its continuance. We only need to work together, put our should­ ers to the wheel and all push to have the present growth continued for an In­ definite time. We ought to show a pop­ ulation in 1010 of at least 4,500. The following table will show the in­ crease by wards: inv 1004 First Ward <46 674 Secund Ward 701 873 Third Ward 637 768 Fourth Ward 1(«8 1243 HABIT 4 XT There are 1737 males and 1821 females. It will be seen from the above figures that the third ward made by far the largest gain per cent. THIS IS HOW THEY GUESSED. of trading with C. H. OSBORH The Clothing and Shoe Man. Judge Mack Came Within Two of the Exact Figures. The Herald’s offer of a year’s sub­ scription to the person who should make the nearest correct guess on the population of Hostings, brought out the following estimates. The exact figure as reported by the state census enum­ erators Is .3558. Judge Charles M. Mack came within two of this figure and near­ er than any one else. He has accord­ ingly been credited with a year’s sub­ scription. The guessing began on June 22d, and we give the names and esti­ mates below: George Collin*.... Mra. J. W. Sag. Mrs. John Husby. Mra.

Warner, it seems, came to Battle Creek two or three weeks ago and being a bright, intelligent and slick young man, well dressed and engaging in manners, he so won the confidence of Mr. Roberts that the latter gave him a chance to sell pianos. Warner went to Bellevue and claimed to Mr. Rob­ erts that he hod found a customer. So the two men went to Bellvue with a nice piano, but the supposed customer would not have the instrument, and as Warner thought he could find another customer the piano was left In bis charge and Roberts went' home. Not hearing from his man for several days Roberta went to Bellevue and ascer­ tained that Warner bad taken the piano to the home of Dell Olmstead in Assyria township, and supposing that the latter had bought it and paid War­ ner for it, part in cash and part by a note, Roberts took immediate steps to get out a warrant for embezzlement in Barry county. He has since learned that Olmstead did not buy the piano, but that Warner forged Olmstead’s note for 8225, sold it to the bank in Bellevue and departed for parts un­ known. This leaves the case for the Eaton officials to deal with. The Herald for job work. On the way back to Naples by steam­ er we passed a school of dolphins in the sen.

I shall never forget the painting of the "Death of Virginia,” It seemed as though the body of the dead girl could be lifted from her fath­ er’s arms. Another Impressive picture was of the time of the cholera plague in 1884. There was a fine production of Garibaldi's soldiers and one of Gari­ baldi himself. If Moses in the bull rushes looked as they have him in marble I do not blame Pharaoh's daughter for wanting to take him home. The prince’s cradle was too beautiful to describe. It is inlaid with beautiful stones and mother-of-pearl. Is support­ ed at one end by a bronze cupld and at the other by a magnificent sea hone. An angel with a long silken veil hovers over the head of the cradle which is lined with dainty white stuff and lace. The palace Is not beautiful on the outside. It is built around a court and a Ykab the beautiful grounds are hidden by a high wall. The Cathedral which is the largest church in Naples, is built close to the side walk with no space on either side. It was begun in 1272 by Charles I, and finished by his grandson in 1323. It is of French-Gothic style. Splendid mar­ ble columns support the building and under the altar is a tomb of the patron saint. Near this tomb of St. Januaries is a bust of the saint done in purest white marble by Michael Angela The main part of the church walls and ceil­ ing are covered with appropriate paint­ ings and the high altar is most magnif­ icent. Later we visited a small church which was to me equally interesting. In the center is a beautiful figure in repose called the "Veiled Christ.” It was about life size, and was wrought from Carrara marble. It is perfectly natural in its position—the beautiful head fall­ ing to one side—the marks of nails in toe hands and feet and the wound in the side. To one side and close to the body are the nails and crown of thorns all cut from the same piece of marble. It was executed by San Martino In 1723. The beautiful paintings in the church were done by the famous Rossi. Marguerite Goette. Walker-Yutz. A quiet wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Yutz. In this city at eight o’clock last even­ ing, the bride being their daughter, Carrie Louise, and the groom Dr. Charles Walker of Cleveland. Only the near relatives -and a few of the bride's intimate friends were present, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Walker of Cleveland, parents of the groom, and Mr. and Mrs. Fox and daughters of Grand Rapids. The bride was charmingly gowned in white and the house was prettily dec­ orated with (lowers. After the cere­ mony had been performed by the Rev. H. H. VanAuken, an elegant wedding supper was served. Many beautiful and valuable presents were received. The bride has been a successful teacher in Dexter and Dundee for sev­ eral yean*, and enjoys the esteem of a large circle of friends. She has been active in church work. The groom has just completed his medical education at the University of Michigan and has ac­ cepted a position as medical missionary in Siam and his bride will go with him to assist him in bls work. They will be sent out by the Oak Park Presby­ terian church of Chicago. They will go to Chicago Saturday and speak in the Oak Park church Sunday morning and return to Hostings the fore part of next week. They are expected to make addresses at the union service in the Presbyterian church Sunday evening, July 31st. They will sail for Bankok, Siam, August 18th. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Dr. O. B. Gates arrived home from St. Louis yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Archie McCoy went to Grand Rapids on the noon train Sun­ day, where they will take up the study of how to furnish the home, and where best to buy house furnishings, musical instruments, music, art goods, sewing machines, etc. They will also visit such towns as Muskegou, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Holland, Ionia and De­ troit,'Mich, Chicago and Rockford, III. Toledo, Oberlin, Mansfield and Cincin­ nati, O.. where Mrs. McCoy will take acourseiuthe summer school for ad­ vanced piano, harmony and voice cul­ ture. The Warner men are making stren­ uous efforts to placate the primary re­ formers. A meeting was held at Lans­ ing Tuesday io which Mr. Warner and representatives of the league of repub­ lican clubs which has beec strenuous­ ly championing primary reform, dis­ cussed the situation and patched up a modus vlvendi. The league are to aban­ don their fight for primary reform and fall Into line for the machine candidate, and Mr. Warner agrees not to veto a primary reform measure after tbe leg­ islature baa pasted it. The Herald has it on good authority that Mr. War­ ner is about to issue a letter to the league in which he will probably pledge himself not to vote primary re­ form legislation. Democratic Ward Caucuaas. The democrats of the various wards of tbe city of Hastings will hold their caucuses on Thursday evening, July 28th, at 7:30 p. tn., for the purpose of electing delegates to attend the county convention to be held July 30th, for the nominating of county officers and the election of delegates to attend the state convention, the senatorial and congres­ sional conventions.

Two hundred years ago his ancestors had come from England and settled In New England. From genera­ tion to generation they were of the hardy farmer class, and they drew their love of country from the soil to which they bad been transplanted. Judge Pnrkor’s great-grandfather was a sol­ dier in the ranks of Washington’s army. As early as be could do so young Parker attended school at Cortland academy and later got out of the Cort­ land Normal acliool all the equipment for life that it could give him. His parents were not able to send him to college or even to take care of him while he was trying to find a foothold. At sixteen be became a country school­ teacher. Reluctantly he was obliged to give up the hope of a college training for bls profession and to think of the old fashioned approach to the bar through the office of a preceptor. Having sur­ rendered one cherished ambition, but not bls chosen profession. he was ad­ mitted to tbe office of Schoonmaker & Hardenbergb of Kingston as a stu dent of law. Working his way, he was at last enabled to enter tbe law school nt Albany, gravitating between the office of his preceptors nt King­ ston nnd the law school, according to season and necessity. In 1872 he was graduated, and soon after the sign of Parker & Kenyon was hung out nt Kingston. He speedily demonstrated a decided ability for political management. From the start he was a Democrat Career of the Democratic Candidate For President.

He was elected for a Fix year term and lr 18X3 was re-elected. In 1884 he was a delegate to tlu» convention at Chicago that nominated Grover Cleveland for president, nnd lie helped to pull the candidate through In the hotly contested campaign of that year. Cleveland was elected, and ■ iu January he turned over to Lietiten- ; ant Governor Hill the uncompleted term of office he was obliged to sur­ render to become president. , Governor Hili 'was nominated In the ■ fall. The Democratic party was worn out with tbe efforts It hnd made in the preceding yenr, its money was exhnusted, nnd its stock of patience was growing small. 11111 was urged to select this or that man to take charge of Ills interests In the conduct of the campaign. He, too, had come to know Parker very well, and he had a clear conviction of 1:1s superior fitness for the dlttieult posi­ tion to l>e occupied. He sent to King­ ston for Parker, who not only over­ came the apathy of his party and dis­ regarded the disadvantage of au empty cash box. but overcame all the advantages supposed to be enjoyed by the Republicans and saw his candi­ date victorious by ll.OOt) .plurality in tbe state in which Cleveland had with difficulty secured about 1.200 the year before. During tbe campaign Supreme Court Justice Theodore R. Wcslbrouk died. Governor Hill was urged to till the va­ cancy nt once. “After the election.” was his answer to nil pressure. When the election was over he announced the appointment of Alton B. Parker to the judgeship. In June, 1SS9, was created tlie second division of the court of appeals to ac­ celerate the work of the highest court. Judge Parker w«s designated by Gov­ ernor Hill to sit with this new court. He was only thirty-seven years of age, the youngest of all judges of the court of appeals. He sat In this court until 1863, when, upou its dissolution, he was appointed by Governor Flower, Hired thereto by many judges, to be a member of the general term of the supreme court of the First district. Here he remained until the creation of the appellate division of the supreme court, when he resumed the trial terms in his own district. In 1897 be was nominated to be chief justice of tbe court of appeals nnd was elected by a plurality of 60,889. That not every one, however, re­ gards Judge Parker ns a Delphic orncle is shown by the following anecdote: A very able New York attorney who was quite deaf and very sensitive was arguing a case before tbe New York court of appeals. He dwelt at JUDGE PJUtKEB AND HIM GRANDSON AT BOSEMONT- length upon n fundamental law princi­ ple. Finally Judge Parker Interrupted. "It would seem. Brother ----- . that you infer that this court is not well versed in this elementary law |>olnt." Now, tbe attorney didn't catch what was said, but lie made it a rule to agree always with what the court said; so. smiling and bowing, he said: "Precisely, your honor: precisely. You have stated tbe proposition correctly.” Tbe court laughed. Judge Parker smiled, and tbe lawyer continued bls argument. Nonconsplcuous in the public eye has been Mrs. Mary D. Parker, tbe wife of Judge Parker. This is because she has led an unusually quiet life. Mrs. Parker was born at Accord, in the township of Rochester, in Ulster county, and is n daughter of tbe late Moses I. Schoonmaker. Her early life whs passed upon the farm upon which she was born. Her girlhood was pass­ ed at Accord, and was much the same as that of most American girls reared in the. country. She continued to re­ side at Accord until her marriage t » Judge Parker. Since then Mrs. Parker has spent her time between Albany nnd Esopus, with frequent visits to Kingston, the home of her daughter, Bertha Parker Hall, wife of the rector of the Mission Church of tbe Holy Cross. The Schoonmakers, from whom she is descended, were among the early Dutch settlers of New York state, and the good Dutch vrouws would look with pride upon so worthy a descend­ nut nnd daughter.

I do not see how you can come to tills bank or any other for favors, holding tlie views that you do.” "Do you mean to say.” asked Davis, "that the fact that I reninin loyal to the Democratic party makes any dif­ ference with my credit?" "Not at all." said the bank-presi­ dent. "But we are not Incline^ to do any favors lor such people.” "This is no favor to me,” said Davis. "I am simply carrying this obligation as a business transaction, nnd if you don’t want to renew it I’ll pay it now und withdraw my patronage from tbe bank.” The bank president grew alarmed ut this, because Senator Davis is heavily Interested In financial operations in West Virginia, and lie bogged Davis to reconsider. Davis would not recon­ sider. He paid the obligation In cash that afternoon and cut that bank off his list of business connections. Senator Davis is many times a mil­ lionaire. He has lieen an enthusiastic Gonuau man ever since tbe canvass for the Democratic nominee In 1904 begun. At one time he said he would spend a million dollars to secure the nomination of Gorman, and It was no mere idle boast, because he had the money and would spend It.

Against “Closed Shops.** The decision of Judge Ludwig of Mil* waukee that “closed shop’’ contracts between labor unions and employers are unlawful should meet the approval of all unprejudiced persons. It does not seem possible that any court could take any other view of such a contract than that it strikes at the fundamental right of all American citizens to pursue their lawful calling or trade under equal pro­ tection of the law. The court is care­ ful to express due appreciation of the right of labor to organize and cooper­ ate for the purposes of securing or maintaining higher wages and better treatment at the bands of employers. But it very properly draws the line against the interference with the rights of men who do not belong to such organization. “The social principle” says Judge Ludwig, “which justifies such organizations is departed from when they are so extended in their op­ eration as either to Intend or to accom­ plish injury to others. Public policy and the interests of society favor the utmost freedom in the citizen to pursue his lawful trade or calling, and if the purpose of an organization or com­ bination of workingmen be to hamper or to restrict that freedom, and through contract or arrangement with employ­ ers to coerce other workingmen to be­ come members of the organization and to come under its rules and conditions under the penalty of the loss of their positions and of deprivation of employ­ ment, then that purpose seems clearly unlawful and militates against the spir­ it of our government and the nature of our institutions.” . This decision, it will be seen, is a severe blow to tbe “closed shop” sys­ tem. But it ought not on that account to be regarded as inimical to tbe best Interests of organized labor. No or­ ganization, either of laboring men or of employers of labor, can or ought to succeed in accomplishing its just pur­ poses, by being tyrannical and unjust towards those who do not belong to sueb organization. It may be contend­ ed by the unions that their course is necessary, in order to prevent non union labor from defeating their own highest purposes. But such reasoning is not sound. No good cause can be advanced by trampling upon the na­ tional and constitutional rights of other men. Argument and persuasion are the only practicable weapons with which to win the battles of organized labor. Certainly the drastic policy of tbe closed shop will not win. Organiz­ ed labor is undoubtedly a great power for good, but its greatness and power are not the result of methods which it sometimes resorts to, of interference with the rights and privileges of those who are outside of its ranks, but rather of tbe intelligent and lawful co-opera­ tion of men to protect their own rights without interfering with the rights of others, and to advance their own in­ terests without Ignoring tbe welfare of their fellow- citizens who do not hap­ pen to be in union with them. A Heroic Character. The death of Paul Kruger which took place among strangers in Switzer­ land last Thursday calls the attention of tbe world for a passing moment to one of the grand old heroes of the age. He was a man of extraordinary char­ acter and though his political career may be considered a failure and though he miserably lost the dearest object of his struggle, tbe independence of bis people, be will go down into history us one of tbe great men of his time. For there are men whose colossal struggles, whose splendid devotion to a great purpose, whose sublime faith in the justness of their cause, whose indom­ itable courage even In defeat compel the admiration of the world and, though they go down in disappoint­ ment to tbe grave, yet their impress upon the world remains and gives them a place among the world's im­ Bolting. Probably no presidential campaign was ever opened that did not witness more or lees bolting. For one reason or another men arc not satisfied with tbe action of the party with which they have been training. It may be from motives of the highest kind that men change their party affiliations, or from mere self-interest, sordidness or per­ sonal pique. Men believe that theparty has taken up false doctrines, and therefore they believe it is a duty to leave it. Or they may have arrived at a conclusion through a process of rea­ soning that may have been of long con­ tinuance, that they have themselves been wrong in their political beliefs, and hence take advantage of a political campaign to change their allegiance. Less worthy motives are those which are based upon the hope of personal gain, tbe desire to be on the winning side, the fondness for notoriety and change, the indulgence of revengful impulses, tbe furtherance of personal ambitions. But whatever the reasons for this shifting of attitudes which occurs every campaign year tbe movement must be regarded as producing a salutary effect upon our public life. Indeed campaigns and elections would lose their interest if it were not for this uncertain factor in the situation. Were it not for this readjustment of forces that takes place every campaign there would be no hope fora minority party, and the nominat­ ing conventions of tbe party in power would practically be the elections. Then let tbe bolters go right ahead. They will disturb no one and at the same time they will infuse interest in­ to the game. Politics would be very uninteresting without the bolters. Moreover this is a free country. A man has a right to change his politics if he wants to and no one should feel offended with a fellow citizen or a newspaper for “flopping.” As for the Herald it hasn't the least desire to bolt. The democratic ticket and plat­ form are entirely to iu liking, but it would be very glad to persuade some of iu republican friends that bolting is a very creditable proceeding. Since the republican platform was so badly shattered by John Sharp Wil­ liams at St. Louis, it has no doubt been in dry dock for repairs, as nothing has been heard of it since. It is hoped by the leaders that it can be patched up sufficiently for Teddy to stand on when he reads that letter ot acceptance. ‘ Anyway, Judge Parker's silence has produced a great deal of publicity for him. He can't even taice his morning swim acy more without having the fact heralded in the daily papers. The statistic fiends have already got it figured out that Roosevelt and Parker are both going to win. And yet- it is said that figures cannot lie. Must be the figurers then.

Thomas & Pryor are attorneys for Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Furniss and A. D. Cadwallader lor the other heirs. The testimony was completed yesterday and Judge Mack will give bis decision Saturday. give forth other semblances of anima­ tion. The allusion to the Kilkenny cat is unfortunate, it is the spirit of tli.s pugnacious feline that has raised tl:e old scratch with the democracy. It -n within tho power of the democratic leaders to raise the party from the dead, but the Kilkenny cut must cease to be a delegate to the state conven­ tions. Let the democrats unite on state issues against the local option primary machine and their party will again live in politics and the breasts of all honest people.—Detroit Tribune. Parker’s Conduct Admirable. His conduct during the campaign waged for his nomination has been iu all respects admirable. Knowing that there could be no reasonable doubt as to bls views upon party issues, he has not allowed himself to give out pro­ miscuous interviews. From the tlnicthat he was first mentioned for the nomination to the time that the oct ef placing him at the head of the ticket, was accomplished he has shown him­ self to be a self-respecting, modeat American gentleman. He is the sort of man in whose hands tbe country's affairs will be carefully conserved. There will be no international-sky­ rocketing merely for the sake of at­ tracting a sensational attention. The people are to be congratulated thut such a splendid type of American citi­ zen has been put before them for their suffrage und they can be doubly con­ gratulated when they have brought about his election.—Indianapolis Senti­ nel. JULY CLEARANCE SALE The State Campaign. The near approach of the state con­ vention will turn the attention of tbe democratic leaders In Michigan to the importance of nominating a good state ticket and preparing for an energetic and effective state campaign. It seems, on the face of it, to be a veiy hopeless undertaking to try to down the repub­ lican machine iu Michigan. There are, however, some indications beneath tbe surface that give grounds for the belief that after all, things are not just what they seem. There is an un­ mistakable dissatisfaction among tbe rank and file of the g. o. p. with tbe high handedness of the machine which has so insolently defied the sentiment for primary election reform. Whether this rebellious spirit is cap­ able of open revolt this fall remains to be seen. But tbe obvious course for the democratic party to take is to place a first class ticket in the field, upon a straight out-and-out primary reform platform, thereby giving the disaffect­ ed reformers in the republican party a chance to join with the democrats in turning the machine out of power and putting into effect the desired reforms. To do this it certainly will not. be necessary to look outside the democrat­ ic party for a leader. If Mr. Stearns wants to help in accomplishing the measure he professes to have so deeply at heart, he will thus be giyen a chance. But the democratic party will not need to ask him to become their candidate on that account. mortals. Such a man. it may well be believed, was Paul Kruger, the last president of the Boer republic, fie fought the mightiest nation of tbe world with splendid courage, he visited the capi­ tals of Europe and plead with touching.! eloquence for his beloved people, he 1 saw the little republic sacrifice every­ thing except honor upon the desperate fight for life nnd liberty only to be crushed into submission at last.

Milo Harper of Grand Rapids, who had beeu to Irving to bury his little child, was killed .by the train on which he was returning to the city Monday night. He attempted to alight from the train at the Fifth avenue crossing and fell beneath the wheels, receiving injuries which proved fatal. ' The Majesties of Grand Rapids were taken into camp Friday afternoon by the local ball team, to tbe tune of 8 to 4. The features of the game were the lino work of Hynes at shortstop, who spoiled many a hit which bad every In­ dication of being safe and who opened the game by making a home run, and the pitching of Burton. The latter had 11 strikeouts to bis credit. The work of the whole team, in fact, was excel­ lent. Batteries: Burton and Roblesky; Avery and Worley.

FM T came from being three and twenty and serious before their time, this renouncing of womankind. Their theory was that speech with wom­ ankind led to Idleness ond Invited dis­ traction. 8o they withdrew from con­ ventional society, set up their incon­ siderable belongings in two studio rooms far up from the sidewalk and organized tbe Society of Resolute Her mlts. There, with new lighted ambitions •nd a gas range, they began their as­ sault on fame's frowning walls, one with verse, one with pictures and tbe third with Action of all lengths. No written bond did they sign, but tbe word of honor wus passed that for a year and a day each should hold no converse with tbe disturbing sex. And they meant to do Just the thing upon which they had agreed. Luncheon in the retreat of tho Reso­ lute Hermits was hardly au event It was a mere incident. It meant that pipes, newspapers, sheets of manu­ script nnd tobacco jars were pushed from one-half of the utility table which stood somewhat unsteadily In tbe mid­ dle of the studio floor; thnt tbe smell of crisping bacon, frying eggs and boil­ ing coffee was coming from tlie closet kitchen In the corner, and that Sir Ar­ thur. costless and red of face, wns standing over the gas stove. “Eggs and bacon, bacon and eggs,” complained Mac as he backed irregular chunks from an eight cent loaf. “Art. why in thunder don’t you learn to cook eggs some other way?” “Want another Spanish omelet?” “Don’t I’m no ostrich. But I’m glad we are to bare something besides fried eggs after today. Kid, that uncle of yours is a life saver.” "I used to think he was an old ernnk.” said the Kid, “but I know better now.” And, Indeed, from the viewpoint of the Resolute Hermits, It wns a noble thing which the Kid’s uncle had done. Learning the cause nnd purpose of their retreat, how for n year and a day they had agreed to forego all friend­ ship nnd idle speech with womankind, be hnd been moved to enthusiasm. “Most sensible thing I ever knew nny of you young rnttleheads to do.” be de­ clared. “If you'll keep It up for an­ other month I'll give yon a check for— no. I’ll write It now nnd date it ahead. If you haven’t spoken to a fool girl or fooler woman when that becomes pay­ able you may cash it. But if one of you breaks faith tear it up.” And there, pinned to the wall as an Inspiration, was the check—a check for |S0. Tomorrow it would come down and then—Christian food!

Police Favor Murder Theory. Police officials are nearly ready to abandon the accident theory and are now beginning to work on the hy­ pothesis that Mr. Loomis was mur­ dered on board the steamship and that his body fell or was thrown over­ board near the Eddystone lighthouse. Joseph G. Stephens, American con­ sul at Plymouth, In response to a tele,gram of inquiry asking him if the local reports of foul play had any basis, or If he had any ground for suspicion regarding the death of Mr. Loomis, replied: Motive Puzzle* Authorities. “1 regret I cannot make any state­ ments prior to the inquest. The wound on the head back of lhe right ear is the size of a half dollar. The body Is fairly preserved, especially about the top and back of the beau, considering the time it has been In lhe water.” The question of motive is a puz­ zling one to the police. Clearly It ■war not robbery, for Mr. Iroomis’ watch, money and valuables were found In his pockets. Credits Accident Theory. Washington, July 18.—Mr.’ 1-oomte, assistant secretary of state, despite tbe reports from London that a severe wound has been found upon the head uf his brother, Kent Loomis, continues to discredit the theory of foul play. Mr. Loomis adheres to the belief that his brother met death through an accident and will continue to think so unless the inquest should bring out something to the contrary. - tiiji, hliBim id Biilnii Homeseekers Tickets West and Northwest I �HASTINGS HERAL County Corrtspondence.

But if democrats vote the coming year as they talk, Parker won’t get over 50 majority. This ought not to happen. Better get Into line boys. When the applicants for the river drain pay the costs made in trying to establish it and then get no drain they may begin to realize that they were led into the affair by a man who bad only selfish motives in writing up the petition for them. His desire to get the job of building the bridges over the drain when constructed, was his only incentive—he doesn’t care whether the voter runs up bill or down after tbe ditch Is dug and the bridges rebuilt. We imagine that tbe talk about those who oppose the drain having to pay all the costs emanates from the same source as tbe petition. If tho people who are interested in this question will read chapter III (12) page 4319, Sec. 1 of the drain laws of Michigan, revision of 1903, they will find that the applicants of a drain are alone responsible for ail costs when the proceedings are dismissed for any cause and tbe county drain commis­ sioner shall proceed to collect same as a civil debt.

WEAVER, It Wil! Contain an Auditorium Cap­ able of Seating Eight Hundred People. The society of St. Rose’s Roman Cath­ olic church of this city, undqr the In­ spiration and direction of their pastor, the Rev. Father Connor, have nearly completed an enterprise that will not only be a valuable accessory to the reg­ ular work of the parish, but a decided advantage to the whole city. We re­ fer, of course, to the new ball which is now in course of erection on grounds adjoining the church. The building is located on Bond street and faces the north. It is a one story brick structure with a large and comtnodius basement. Its dimensions are 100x40 feet. The basement which is 9 feet 2 Inches high has a cement floor, and will be plastered and finished off into a com­ modious gymnasium or place for dif­ ferent kiuds of games. Cd the west side will be a space 72 feet long for two bowling alleys and there will be room for billiard tables and other games. Also in the basement is a dressing and toilet room for ladies, 12x15 feet in size and a dressing toilet and smoking room for gentlemen, 12x20 feet. At the east end is a commodious and well appoint­ ed kitchen, with a stairway leading to the room above, and a dummy elevator connecting with the room above, also a coal room. The main floor will be a large audi­ , enoe room with stage at the south end. Across the north end is a gallery with raised seats. This audience room i* 73 feet long an-9.40 feet wide and the stage is 25 feet deep and high enough u> ac­ commodate scenery of alt kinds. At either side are convenient dressing rooms. The regular seating capacity of the hall will be 800, while 900 or more will be able to find room, by put­ ting in extra seats or crowding the building to its utmost capacity. At the left of the main entrance, in a small wing will be a check room, and a mov­ able ticket office will be placed near the door, which can easily be taken away whenever desirable. Chairs will be used for seating purposes so that they can be easily removed and the room converted into a very nice danc­ ing hall. The hall will be thoroughly lighted with about 200 incandescent lamps ar­ ranged in arches. Two double doors, one at the east end and one on the west side, besides a rear entrance to the stage, will afford abundant facility for exit in case of fire. Substantial ce­ ment platforms and steps are provided at both entrances, and an excellent ce­ ment walk leads from Jefferson street to the main entrance on Bond street. The cost of the building will be be­ tween 04000 and 05000. Monica broth­ ers of Cloverdale did the mason work, Chas. Allen the carpenter work and R. I. Hendershott the sewerage and plumb­ ing. It Is expected that the building will be completed by September 1st. It' will be available to the general public for lectures and all entertainments of the better class. Dry Cleaning in Hasting*. I respectfully announce that Ido all kinds of dry cleaning on ladles’ and men’s suits, jackets, dress skirt*, wabta, gloves, punam*. or straw hate, thin dresses, fur rugs, etc. The finest and daintiest fabrics cleaned.

Carlton Township Caucus. The Ladies’ Minstrel Entertainment. It is no small undertaking to get up a home minstrel entertainment and make it an unqualified success finan­ cially and artistically during the hot days of summer, and *or this reason all the more credit is due the ladies of the Eastern Star and their friends who as­ sisted them in giving the minstrel en­ tertainment last Thursday evening at Reed’s opera house. Nearly all the seats in the house were sold Id advance and had the capacity of the house been larger there would have been a still larger audience. The first part of the program was the minstrel entertainment and when the curtain rose it disclosed the company arranged in true minstrel style, with four “colored” ladies on each end, the rest of the front row being composed of white ladies with Miss Vinnie Ream oc­ cupying the interlocutor’s place in the center. Back of these rat a row of colored beauties, with more white la­ dies above and behind them, all ar­ ranged in pyramidal form and present­ ing a very taking appearance. The whole stage was draped in flags. The choruses were well rendered and the work of the interlocutor and "lend la­ dies” was up to the standard of profes­ sionals, the jokes being immensely en­ joyed by the audience, judging from the shouts of laughter with which the clever sallies were greeted. Solos were nicely rendered by Mrs. Jennie Mat­ thews, Mrs. Edna Rickel, Mrs. Anna Curtis and Miss Mary McElwain, all in their own natural complexion. Also by the following “burnt cork” artistes; Mrs. Blanche Potto, Miss Ruth Websert, Miss Bessie Hall and Miss Mild­ red Paton. These dark complexiooed soloists did their several songs so cleverly that they had to respond to vociferous encores. The second part of the program was an oleo by Polly McGllligan’a band. The cast was as follows: Miss Drum Major, Clara Hendershott; Mis* Cym­ bals, Mary Grant; Miss Trombone, Pearl Hall; Mis* Snare Drum, Grace Grant; Mbs Bass Drum, Vera Doyle. It b simply impossible to due justice to this unique colored organization. Words would fail to describe their glor­ ious custumesand as for their music it was absolutely stunning. The audi­ ence fully appreciated the efforts of thb band, and insbted on their coming back and repeating their extraordinary performance. The entertainment was given a pleasing turn at this point by a couple of selections on the mandolin and gui­ tar by the Misses Anzoletta Lombard and Christina Schumann accompanied by the Hastings Mandolin Club. Miss Ream followed with a colored character sketch given in her usual lively man­ ner, after which the last part of the program, a grand prize cake walk, was given by five little couples. These were as follows: Robert Riley and Mary Stebbins, Ira Peck and Erma Barber, Richard Doyle and Josephine Anderson, Lyle Wilcox and Ellen Sul­ livan, Gardner Bennett and Katherine Lewis. Each of the little couple per­ formed their parte nicely, the prize be­ ing awarded to Richard Doyle and Jos­ ephine Anderson. Following are the names of those who took part In the minstrel program: Di­ rector Roy D. Way; interlocutor, Mb* Vinnie Ream; bones the Misae* Bessie Hall, Mildred Paton and Nellie Stebbines; tamboes, Mrs. John Busby, Mrs. Blanche Potts, Miss Ruth Weiraert; quartet, Mbs Etta Paton, Miss Mary McElwain, Mrs. Jennie Matthews and Mrs. Edna Rickel.

H. Snyder. Pianbt, Miss Winnie Harper. The entertainment was under the di­ rection of Mr. Roy D. Way, a profes­ sional actor, who came hers for the pur­ pose of managing the performance. He showed himself to bo a courteous and competent young gentleman and much credit b due him for the manner In which be drilled, staged and con­ ducted the whole entertainment. Much of the success of the affair was likewise due to the committee of the Eastern Star, Mrs. D. K. Titman, Miss Maude Kelley, and Mrs. J. D. Murdock, a* well a* Mr*. Elroy Tobias, who were indefatigable in selling tickets. The net proceeds of the venture were about •175 of which the share belonging to the Chapter was $81.

An important literary event marks the August McClure's, the midsummer fiction number, in the appearance of a new story of child life by Frances Hodgson Burnett, which bears the title “In the Closed Room." Thb is the first story of childhood Mrs. Burnett has written since the days of “Little Lord Fauntleroy” and “Sara Crewe.” To say that it bears all the irresistible charm of these earlier, notable suc­ cesses fixes the quality of the story. The heroine is the Huie daughter of a care-taker who finds in the mansion entrusted to her parents’ keeping, a treasure-house of delight and mystery. This strange, imaginative child, half real, half fairy-like, finds mysterious access to the closed room, where, in sweet fancy, she makes a world and life of her own that borders so closely on the life beyond that the reader fol­ low* her to the vanishing point of the world of thing* into that spirit land of beauty with breathless interest. The sweetness and charm of thb al­ luring little fantasy of childhood are much enhanced by the illustration in color by Jessie Willcox Smith who has made it all, both people and places, seem very real and beautiful. The novelette will conclude in the Septem­ ber McClure’s. A Retraction. From July Number uLadte*’ Home Journal.” In the May number of the Ladle*' Home Journal we publbbed, in the ar­ ticle entitled “The Patent Medicine Curse, "an analysis, of “Doctor Pierce’* Favorite Prescription,” in which that preparation was represented a* con­ taining, among other ingredient* tinc­ ture of digitalis, tincture of opium, and alcohol. Immediately upon publica­ tion of the number a suit for damage* was instituted by The R. V. Pierce Medical Company, of Buffalo, New York, proprietors of the preparation In question, against Th* Curtb Publish­ ing Company, based upon the claim that none of the three Ingrediente was contained in the medicine. Upon the filing of the suit, we, of course, immediately looked into the published analysis. It appears that this particular analysis had been made, if made at all, fully twenty-five years ago. We, thereupon, employed three leading chemists in different cities to make an analysis of the preparation from bottles bought in the open market. These analyses, one and fkll, now show to us conclusively that not a single one of the ingredients mentioned by ua in the analysis quoted—that is, either digitalis, opium or alcohol—was contained in the bottles analyzed. We then—the president of this company and the writer—personally visited The R. V. Pierce Medical Company, at Buf­ falo, and were there convinced that the officers of the company were absolutely truthful in their claim that not one of these injurious ingredients was con­ tained in “Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.” Naturally, since the analysis we printed baa been proved erroneous, the deductions made in con­ nection with this preparation were un­ warranted and unfounded. Under these circumstance* it is now perfectly plain to us that this magazine was unintentionally, but never-tho-less absolutely misled In making the origin­ al statement, and we hereby, of our own volition, make this unqualified acknowledgment of our mistake to The R. V. Pierce Medical Company and to our readers. The mistake was honestly made, but it was a mistake. Card of Thanks. The undersigned committee of Hast­ ings Chapter, O.

Last fall Lynchburg, Tenn., attract­ ed much favorable attention by indict­ ing twenty-Mven men on the charge of lynching a negro at atime when iasev^ eral northern states no adequate steps were being taken toward the punish­ ment of similar outbreaks. Now Virginia is doing even better. Tbe grand jury at Danville, a city of 20,000 on tbe southern border of the state, has indicted eighteen citizens for their unsuccessful attempt to lynch a negro .-nvrderer. This is one of the signs that the southern states are becoming wide awake to the danger of the lynching habit, and that whatever pesilonate justification for lynching some south­ erners may find, the developing public opinion of the south will not continue to play with fire. Governor Vardaman of MisslsBippi, rapid as he is toward the negro, has done all he could in repeat­ ed Instances to prevent lynchings,, and Governor Heyward of South Carolina haa advised legislation that will help to bring lynchers more surely to punish­ ment.—Chicago Record-Herald.

Earnest and courageous to the end, fighting for the things in which he helieved, he yet yielded to the supreme democratic principle tbat the majority must rule. He went at least half way—aye, more than tbat—to promote a spirit of har­ mony which will lead to party success. We believe it can be truthfully said that in the eyes of the country today be is greater than ever before. There are many who look upon him a6 the greatest living American. He is young and he is growing. With his wide knowledge of affairs, his great abilities as a debater, his magnificent oratory and his lovable personality, it seems sure that there must be much in store for him. As the central figure dt tbe great convention he knows in what re­ gard he is held by his fellow-partisans the country over.—-Indianapolis Senti­ nel. ' “Do It To-day.” The time-worn injunction. “Never put off ’till to-morrow what you can do to-day,” is now generally presentedin this form: “Do it to-day!” That is the terse advise we want to give you about that hacking cough or demoraliz­ ing cold with which you have been struggling for several days perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remeky for it to-day—and let that remedy be .Dr. Bosehee’a German syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you com­ pletely. No matter how deep-seated your cough, even if bread eoosumptlon hM attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—sa It has done before in thousandsof apparently hopeleas cases of lung trouble.

Washington Letter. (From Our Regular Correspondent.! Washington, D. C., July 23, 1904. On a wall at the navy department Is a map of the sea giving the changing locations of the derelicts afloat—that is, of the wrecked and abandoned shiits which, without a master, go blindly wandering up and down tbe ocean to the constant peril of every “live” vessel adrift. Upon that scribbled chart their labyrinthin paths are traced round and round in loops and triangles and double bow-knots, and day by day as news comes in from tbe castaways the vigilant skipper in charge with a bit of colored ink gives each track a new angle or a wider sweei> and sends words of the danger to the principal port. Our ship of state is a sad derelict this month. Her aimless rudder swing­ ing with the tide and her blistered deck of asphaltum abandoned by Ad­ miral Roosevelt and his commodores, she swelters and staggers about upon our Saragossa sea. She sprang a-leak another half billion dollars this year, but it is impossible to scuttle her for sbe is very staunch and seaworthy, the revenue pumps are in first rate order, and with a vigilant watch on the port quarter she will weather many seasons Set. During the year the treasury has ad a big hole knocked in her abaft the binnacle, and has leaked fifty millions extra—a tremendous sum, sufficient to swamp an ordinary European craft. And now, within a week of August, nobody is on deck but a few middles and supple-jacks too weak to desert the ship.

Payne was ere yesterday, but has fled. Morton is in Nebraska. Hay, Hitchcock and Taft are all away on business, and their business didn’t take them Sooth. It took them to northern New England where they are swinging in hammocks this minute. Shaw is at Oyster Bay. Wilson, too, Is off hibernating—or rather, begging pardon of Mercury, estivating. National Chairman Cortelyou is in Philadelphia with bis frying pan, and Congressional Chairman Bab­ cock is at Atlantic City with his fishing rod and a long, cool, glass of something. Inefficient fountains flash lonesomely in the parks and a few hopeful con­ gressmen take oft their coats and vests in their partisan beadquarters. Tbe maddest people in town are probably we correspondents, jealous and disgust­ ed at the removal of tbe capital to Oys­ ter Bay and Esopus. ’ Up at tbe vanishing republican head?[uarters Secretary Elmer Dover Is do­ ng battle with the lithograph and but­ ton men who assure him that their wares are indispensable co the success of the party. One picture is entitled “Our Perpetual Star” (Roosevelt). It is an allegory of the boyhood, manhood, life and thoughts, stirring scenes of battle and bivouac, peaceful conquests, with rough and smooth riders; stacks of books, all his.own; white house in foreground, crossed with swords and discharged cannon, and a dove of peace bearing the olive branch of arbitration. Soon both parties will pull up stakes and fly to New York with scissors, ink, paste-pot., blue pencil, waste-basket, and office cat. Congressional Chair­ man Babcock will go to New York next week with the whole republican outfit, and re-open in the St. James’ building on Broadway and twenty-sixth street. That a man worth forty or fifty mil­ lion dollars should be terrorized by bis relatives is a singular phenomenon, but Senator William A. Clark of Montana has for that reason kept secret the news of his clandestine marriage for three years until bis bride haa borne him two children. The senator wanted to marry his lovely ward but feared to face the opposition of his family and the tremendous hubbub resulting. When sbe was barely seventeen he sent Anna LaChappelle to Europe to study the harp. While tbe senator was planning the most sumptuous palace in New York City she lived in Paris, served like a princess. She had car­ riages, maids, a chaperon, private masters ia music, vocal and instru­ mental, and the languages, and the entree into tbe moat exclusive of mu­ sical and artistic circles. Under such auspices she made her debut as a harp­ ist and vocalist and created a Parisian furore. She received flattering offers to go on the stage. When the senator reappeared his sister resented it and refused longer to chaperon the girl. Then the secret marriage took place and he deposited in New York with lawyers the marriage certificate, affida­ vits of witnesses, and a document set­ tling a million dollars on his new wife. There Is war between Clark's relatives and the LaChappelles. It is obvious tbat he placed himself in an awkward position and opened the way for in­ jurious comments by a clandestine mar­ riage. If he wants to save any rem­ nant of his dignity, he should feel his ground carefully and not make any more mistakes. If his relatives are wise, they will accept the situation philosophical’.}’.

Last summer one of my children was taken wiih cholera morbus, and I procured a bottle of this remedy. Only two doses were required to give her entire relief. I then de­ cided to try the' medicine myself, and did not use all of one bottle before I was well and have never since been troubled with that complaint.

STANDING OF BASEBALL CLUSt CASH "r> IS MISSING TO ENTER MATRIMONY BoTore Marriage. ed Toward Him. Baltimore, Md., July 25.—Gov. Ed- 1 win Warfield has aroused a stir among femininity by stating that 24 Is the proper age at which a girl should marry. He made the state­ ment in addressing the graduates of the Wilmington high school recently, and followed it up with the following interview: “If asked the age when girls should marry I should say 24. That was the age of Mrs. Warfield when I marrted. I was SB. I have said to my daughters that I should not give my consent to their marrying until they arrive at that age. “Marriage for the purpose of set­ tling a daughter in life is, as a rule, a failure and an unhappy one. No parent, and especially no true and loving mother, will wish to push her daughter into matrimony before she is fully matured and fitted for the grave responsibilities of married life. Young girls Just out of school are not equipped for the ordinary household duties of wives and for the cares and trials of motherhood. They should, after leaving school, spend some time with their parents, giving their pa­ rents the pleasure of their compan­ ionship end learning something of the everyday work that will be theirs as wives.” The declaration of the governor has started no end of a controversy, and it is believed he will have diffi­ culty Ln backing it up.

PARTS CHURCH FROM FRANCE Cardinals Are Said to Be Hostile to Him, Indicating That They Accuoe Him of Being the Barrier In ths Way of an Understanding. Rome, July 25.—The Tribune says It Is said that Cardinal Merry del Vai. the papal secretary of state, has ten­ dered his reslgnstion, owing to the hostility of the cardinals which Indi­ cates tbat they hcciif- nlni of render­ ing impossible an accord with France, aad that the pope has refused to ac­ cept the resignation. If the concordat with France is ab­ rogated the secretary, who Is a Span­ iard, would naturally be held more or less responsible because of his official position. ■ Terms of the Concordat. The concordat, over which there is so much controversy, is defined as a treaty between the pope and a secu­ lar state touching the conservation and promotion of religion in that state. By the concordat of 1513 the union of church and state In France was vir­ tually established. The king nominat­ ed the bishops and the pope confirmed the choice within six months. The relations remained cordial under this until tbe later years of tbe reign of Louis XIV, when serious trouble arose, lasting for eleven years, during which the pope and king were at odds. Tbe latter then gave iu. All Church Property Sequestered. During the revolution In the last decades of the eighteenth century the religious fabric of France was wiped out of existence and tbe churches, col­ leges. seminaries, convents and mon­ asteries to- the value of four billions of francs (1800,000,000) were seques­ tered' by the government and their wealth and endowments converted In­ to national property. Napoleon folk>\.ed, and seeing the persona] advantage that would result by the restoration of the ofganixed church of which France had been de­ prived for two decades, he negotiated the formation of a commission whose sessions were held under his auspices in Taris. Framing of the Concordat Cardinal Consalvi, the pope's secre­ tary of state, acted with Napoleon in framing the concordat. The latter agreed, in order not to disturb the titles acquired by outside parties to the sequestered church property, to pay yearly about 17,000,000 In salaries from public funds in lieu of returning the property. If the concordat Is abrogated all seminaries, chapels, religious estab­ ' llshments, converts, hospitals, asy­ lums, etc., which belong either to re­ ligious congregations or to different societies that have been enabled by contributions of pious people to erect them, will be confiscated by the gov­ ernment. Wealth In Gold and Bllvor. In the treasury of moot of the old churches and religious establishments are many valuable vestments and a wealth of gold and allver chalices, clboriums. mqnstrances, aad other ar­ ticles of altar furniture and sacred vdbaela used in the ceremonials of the church. These, according to the state­ ment made by an ecclesiastic, are con­ sidered as of the church endowment and would be taken by the govern­ ment when property is sequestered. Borton. Mass.. July 25.—Alleging that he stole the contents of the Par­ ker house safe.

He failed to report for duty next day, during the afternoon of which a guest called at the desk to get |850, which he had turned ovar to the hotel for safe keeping. The ■J cashier on duty was amazed to find 1 the safe “cleaned out."

This is said to lie the most serious phase of the case, because the alleged irregu­ lar vouchers represent an unknown quantity so far as tho hotel manage­ ment is concerned.

The packing-house teamsters met yesterday afternoon, the last of the allied trades to take action. They voted almost unanimously to join the strike, although George F.

Before the teamsters could strike, however, their action had to be in­ dorsed by the Chicago Teamsters’ joint council and the executive board of the National Brotherhood of Team­ sters.

Asnv, Secretary. \ UU.IVAX, Chairman. The Donocratlc Platform. The declaration of principles made at St. Louis is not above criticism, even by its friends. As a literary production it leaves something to be deaired. It Is loosely constructed and somewhat too verbose. Probably also in view of the fact that the country was expecting some declaration on the financial ques­ tion, it would have been better if the platform had alluded to it, although that quesiion is not an issue at present. But these are the worst things that can be truthfully said of tho platform upon '* which the democratic party will stand In the ooming fight. And these things are non-essential. No political plat­ form is perfect in form or satisfactory , in every particular. Such a document is the product of many minds, and the resultant of many diverse influences. The great wonder is—and it is one that should command the astonished admiration of the world—tbat men wbo bad for eight years been so diametri­ cally opposed upon certain dominant tatties should be able to agree at all, upon any declaration of principles. And that they did finally adopt a com­ mon political creed is proof of the most convincing kind that tbe democratic ■ party is based upon certain living and essential principles and that its follow, era can always find common ground up­ on which to stand when they go back to the basic doctrines of tbe party. Considering then all tbe circum­ stances under which the platform was constructed it must be pronounced an admirable achievement. Its careful perusal reveals a spirit of devotion to constitutional government economi­ cally administered in tbe interests, of all the people that is truly commend­ able. Its note of warning against en­ croachments upon such government is most timely, its condemnation of the tendency of the republican party to Ignore the safe landmarks which our forefathers have placed is greatly needed. Very appropriately the platform be­ . gins with an enumeration of some the fundamental principles of the party. “Freedom of the press, of cousclenoe aad of speech, equality before the law of all citizens; the right of trial by jury, •> freedom of tbe person defended by the writ of habeas corpus; liberty of perpenal contract nntrammcled by sumptu­ ary laws; supremacy of the civil over tho military authorities; a well disci­ plined militia; the separation of church and state; economy in expenditures; low taxation that labor may be lightly burdened, prompt and sacred fulfillstent of public and private obligations; fidelity to treaties; peace and friend­ ship with all nations, entangling alli­ ances with none; absolute acquies­ cence in tho will of tbe majority”— these vital principles are very properly \. enumerated as being tbe foundation ' upon which the party resta. < All the subjects treated in the lengthy proaouncement cannot be touched upon in an editorial. Wo can but briefly refer to a few of the more important. Among those which are most likely to appeal to tbe support of the people are the planks favoring “a revision and gradual reduction of tbe tariff,1* **a strict enforcement of ex­ isting civil and criminal statutes” againt the trusts, and “the enactment •T such further legislation as may be . necessary to effectually suppress them;11 “the arbitration of differences between corporate employers and employees,11 reductions in the annual expenditures > tA the government; “the strictest econ­ omy and frugality compatible with vig­ orous and efficient civil, military and naval administration;” a policy towards the Filipinos similar to the one we have adopted in dealing with Cuba; the ex­ termination of polygamy; ‘ ‘liberal trade arrangements with Canada’1 and other countries; and those planks which de­ nounce ship subsidy legislation; and the “Bourbon-like, selfish and narrow spirit of the recent republican conv«ntion at Chicago which sought to kindle anew the embers of social and sectional strife.” . These are some of the main declara­ tions In the democratic platform. They are of a nature tbat ought to ap­ peal strongly to the people. Upon their enforcement rests the welfare of this great republic. They are sane, reasonable, patriotic declarations. They need no apology. They are un­ answerable and axiomatic. Upon such a platform a great, historic party can proudly stand and appeal to the voters for their endorsement. And with a candidate so thoroughly in sympathy with a constitutional, conservative, and just administration of the government, as Judge Parker undoubtedly is, the democratic party can confidently go be­ fore the country and make a glorious campaign. Would It Bo Expedient? The continued talk of putting Justus S. Stearns at the head of the democrat­ ic state ticket seems to indicate that such a proposition is being seriously contemplated and that Mr. Stearns himself is not averse to such a program. The Herald for one does not favor the proposition. It fails to see the proprie­ ty or expediency of putting a republi­ can at the bead of a democratic ticket. Or will Mr. Stearns renounce his re­ publicanism, and come over to the help of the righteous? If so, ought he not to do works meet for repentance before being placed in the highest seat that the party can offer. No doubt if the state .convention nominates Mr. Stearns for governor its action will be based entirely on exped­ iency. It will do so because it believes tbat with him as leader it can beat tbe machine. But will it really be expedi­ ent to put a man who has no sympathy with democratic principles, who will not stand on tbe St. Louis platform, but ratber vote for.Roosevelt, who but recently was asking the republican con­ vention to nomipate him, at tbe head of the democratic state ticket? Will it be expedient to nominate for governor a man who in 1900 went into that no­ torious struggle of millionaires to buy up a republican nominating conven­ tion, who did his share of debauching the party and bringing it into ita pre­ sent state of corruption and machine rule, who, because be could not land the nomination of hls own yarty in 1904, is now courting the democratic party? Will it be expedient or vise to go in­ to tbe campaign this fall with a candi­ date whose record is thus tainted? True Mr. Stearns may have repented of bis part in pact campaigns. He prob­ ably has. True he may be in earnest in hls advocacy ot primary reform. It is fair to assume that be is. But what has be dona to make it seem probable that he will be a stronger candidate than any one of a dozen good demo­ crats tbat could be named? Is there any reason for believing that Mr. Stearns on a platform containing a single plank favoring primary election reform would command a larger vote than a democrat on tbe same kind of a platform? And if no good reason can be given what can the party gain by thus going over to the enemy for a leader? These questions it seems to us should be very carefully weighed before yield­ ing to the importunities of Mr. Stearns’ friends to place him at the bead of a democratic state ticket. An Interesting Contrast. Tbe difference between the position in which Fred M. Warner, republican candidate for governor of Michigan, and Joseph W. Folk, democratic candi­ date for governor of Missouri, find themselves ia worth considering. To appreciate it one must remember that both states sre cursed with a political machine, the one republican tbe other democratic. The Missouri machine is so criminally corrupt as to have at­ tracted tbe attention of the whole country, aad although the honest citi­ zens of that state were terribly scandal­ ised by the corruption and boodllng practiced in the legislature and in the city ot St. Louis, it seemed that the unscrupulous gang that had control of public affairs was too strong to be de­ posed. But Joseph W. Folk, the young circuit attorney of St. Louis boldly, courageously and shrewdly went after the criminals and he has, by sheer pluck and persistence overcome the supposedly Irresistible machine and fought bls way in spite of ft to the high honor of a unanimous nomination for governor. No one doubts tbat he will be elected in November. Did Mr. Warner secure hls nomina­ tion in the same way? Hardly! Every­ one in Michigan knows that he cap­ tured the prize, not by fighting the machine, but by standing in with it; not because the people insisted that be should be cboeen in spite ot the oppo­ sition of the machine as in the case of Mr. Folk, but because the machine backed him in spite of tbe opposition of tbe people. Everyone knows that Mr. Warner has no sympathy whatever with the desire of the people to get rid of the machine by adopting the pri­ mary election system. And yet he easily won against tbe reforjpers, be­ cause be bad tbe machine back of him, and now he stands in a what-sre-yougoing-to-do-about-it attitude towards tbe people. ’ Thus Folk forges to the front because of his valiant fight against a corrupt machine, and Warner stands out as the avowed champion of machine politics. The people are back of Folk, the ma­ chine is back of Warner. The triumph of Folk means the overthrow of politl- cal corruption in the state of Missouri, Wallace Hobbs is quite sick. the triumph of Warner means the Charles Dawson is homo from Ann fastening of ringism upon the state of Arbor for a few days.

McClure... g 5»0v0s0*0«0»00«0«0»0«0s0s$ North Glascow bad never taken Ma­ bel Faruba in seriously nor known her to take life seriously, yet there bad been a lingering hope in tbe minds of the gossips that when it came to the question of matrimony the pretty daughter of tbe big mill owner might be sensible for once. f But. then. North Glascow did not un­ derstand Mabel, and Mabel cared pre­ cious little whether it did or not She did not feel called upon to detail her daily life nor analyze her motives for tbe edification of town gossips. That gns why the sharp tongued women of the manufacturing town did not know that when Mabel went tearing through the main street on her little mare or trotted past in her dogcart she was pretty sure to drop into her father’s dingy office with a kiss and a merry greeting. Nor could they dream that the young girl who danced when op­ portunity offered until almost morning tripped downstairs in the most be­ witching negligees to pour her fa­ ther’s coffee and smiled sleepily, but good humoredly, across the table at him. What they did hear was that Mabel lay abed till 11 o’clock (which was quite true, for she went directly back to bed when her father bad driv­ en away) and sent to Boston for wrap­ pers and coffee jackets of lace and silk, such aa no respectable, hardwork­ ing woman in all North Glascow ever dreamed of wearing. They did not dream either that sbe wore cherry rib­ bons In those same negligees, when she loved blue best, just because her ador­ ing father had once remarked tbat red was tho only color in the rainbow worth considering. At regular Intervals what was known as the social set of Glascow went In Its best array and as many carriages as the town could support to be entertain­ ed in state at the mill owner’s brick and stone pile on tbe hill and eame away to discourse on the shocking waste of electricity, the absurdly mas­ sive decorations of American Beauty rosea, the dreadful expense of a ca­ terer from Boston when Mias Louise Crocker could have managed the whole thing for half tbe price. And Mabel’s gown! Tbe brocade bad surely come from Paris, and it was too elaborately trimmed for so young a girl. Well, it was a pity that Mrs. Farnham had not lived to steady down this frolkaoma daughter and keep a restraining hand on the bnuwboW expenses of Donsld Farnham. Little they knew how hateful tbe dis­ play was to Mabel, bow sbe longed sometimes to clone down tbe bouse, with Its gilt furniture and plush bang­ ings, and to join some of tbe girls sbe bad met at college In their trips abroad, where tbe world was old and rich in art and book lore. But this was her father’s life, tbe life for which bo bad longed in those early days when her pinafores were abort and hls working hours long. He was master of North Glascow today, and be reveled In his sense of greatness and power. It was just when Mabel was hunger­ ing for a broader Hfe, when North Glascow seemed unbearably narrow and when the had dated its gossips by some particularly unconventional frol­ ics tbat Harold Barndt came into tbelr life. For reasons not stated the * elder Barndt wished his son,well out of New York, for the winter at least One of them was a certain pretty chorus girl who had settled herself in a little flat unpleasantly close to the great apart­ ment house wherein dwelt the Barndt family. Mr. Farnham was indebted— or imagined be was—to Mr. Barndt and a position for the younger Barndt waa made somehow on the clerical staff at the mills. And quite aa nat­ urally young Barndt made for himself a place In the Farnham home. 'Twin the only fit place in the town, be ex­ plained to himself. Mabel had always been accustomed to admiration, but now ebe woke up to the fact that there was keen rivalry for her hand. Young Barndt fretted a week or so for the pretty actress, and then decided that, averaging up points, Mabel had a trifle the best of. it, to sny nothing of her financial pros­ pects, as the only child of tbe mill owner. Jimmy had loved ------Crawford ­ her "to™ d*1- ■" opened the big mill for Mabel, OMMd Um’ bte “l“ gate ,or a dainty vision In white and a cherry sash.

The latter would certainly have given tho self made man much concern. He meant when he bad accumulated money tnough, to marry Mabel into a family .rith blood. Mabel had never taken Jimmy's de­ votion seriously until young Barndt ap­ peared on the scene. Then something in tiie misery which she read in tlie face of her long devoted and much tried admirer appealed to her more womanly nature, and,- though North Glascow never dreamed of It Mabelwas really thinking deeply of the fu­ ture. Matters came to a bead on Hallow­ een night. With young Barndt at her. side, Mabel bad driven through the crisp autumn aid to the Halloween frolic at Myrtle Graham's borne. Barndt*s roses were fastened under her clonk, and on the table at home the x>x of bonbons he had ordered sent to her each Saturday lay unopened. He bad tucked her Into the carriage, but now he sulked openly. "These country social affairs are such a bore, don't you know. I suppose we shall bob for apples and ruin our clothes, and come home deucedly tired. I’d much rather have the evening nt home, with you at the piano aud the lamplight fulling on your hair." Mabel smiled in the dark. Would be always be satisfied with that do­ mestic picture? sbe wondered. "Now, each girl must walk down to the spring, quite alone, and look into it for the face of her husband to be,” announced the hostess in tbe tones of an oracle. She held up a white fasci­ nator, for the night was cool, and Ma­ bel’s hand was the first to reach for it. “I hope you are not going to endan­ ger your health by such nonsense.” Mabel turned to look into young Bnrndt’s scowling face. He had been greatly bored, as he hud predicted, and this was the lost straw in bls load of misery. ”1 thought you had too much sense to be superstitious.” “Perhaps,” answered Mabel, with an odd laugh. And then sbe was gone. While tbe merry party awaited her re­ turn Mabel walked slowly through the . moonlit garden to the spring. She was thinking of them both—Jimmy Crawford, wbo, though tbe life of the party, had seemed somehow to be watching her all the evening, and Barndt, with hls polished manners and bls sulky eyes. Then she bent over the spring and smiled. She bad felt it all along—tbat hls face would look over her shoulder and their reflections would be aide by side. “It was dreadfully silly, Jimmy,” sbe wild softly as they walked slowly back to the house. “And you mustn’t think tbat it is just because I trusted my de­ cision to a foolish superstition. But it's because the little things make up our Ilves—at least they make a woman happy. Some men”—she delicately re­ frained from mentioning Barndt — “would have stayed in the house and let me look into the empty pool. And I want some one wbo understands me, wbo thinks of the little things for me. I’ve been thinking for other people so long”— Jimmy held her trembling hand tight In bls big, strong one. “I think I understand, dear.” “I know you do,” she whispered soft­ ly. “I’ve known ft for ever so long, only I couldn't quite”— And again he put hls seal on tbe un­ certain words. But all North Glascow thinks to this dsy tbat It was Just be­ cause of the Hallowe'en superstition that Mabel accepted Jimmy and fought the good fight against her father’s pride and disappointment A woman in a Lexington avenue car wbo banded a conductor 25 cents from which to take two fares was passed a nickel and ten pennies. “Please give me something else In­ stead of these pennies,” she said. “I have not room for them in my small purse.” “That's good money,” retorted the conductor brusquely. “1 am aware of that,” continued tbe woman, '“but It Is as good to you as to me. You have more room Id your overcoat pocket than I have Id my purse.” The conductor said nothing, but be did not take back tbe pennies. Two women who had boarded tbe car la time to hear the conversation looked commlseratingly at their sister in dis­ tress. “Here!” exclaimed one of them, lean­ ing toward her and proffering a dime. “Please give me your ten pennies.” • The exchange was made, and, drop­ ping the ten pennies into tbe open palm of the conductor, ahe smiled with se­ raphic sweetness and said. “Two!” The conductor looked thoughtful as be walked to the platform.—New York Press. “Now, Mr. Dickson,” urged Mrs. Pounderby, who found things slacking somewhat at her reception, “I am sure you can sing. You have such a singfng face.” But the nervous Dickson protested that, in spite of hls face, be could not oblige, and some one else stepped Into tbe breach. A little later on, however, while tbe hostess happened to be out of the room, his courage revived, and he sang “Bonnie Mary of Argyle” in a way that made one feel sorry for Mary. In due course tbe party broke up, and Dickson was one of tbe first to leave. “Goodby, dear Mr. Dickson,” said tbe innocent Mrs. Pounderby effusively; “I am so sorry you can't sing. You really ought to learn, you know.” And then It was that Dickson's face rivaled the beet root for beauty of colorimr. aud be fled. �RssC’s Oftera House Saturday Eve, Aug. 13 It Pays to Buy at Wrights.’ 6EO.

I ' not say that ‘ ’ girl or woman IS I do the ‘ KIGHT to accept or to exact nil this self sacrifice. I will, indeed, Allow that she is apt to become selfish and perhaps unreasonable, at this period of the game she is blindfolded both by fate AND BY THE MAN, who never once speaks candidly and honestly to her, but ia always insisting that her wishes are dearer to him than his own, and to do what he doesn’t like to do and give up all that he does like is precisely WHAT HE ENJOYS AND WISHES The woman believes him and accepts the role of despot, which is thus forced upon her, and she wonders that she is not even mistress of her own life, cannot arrange her hours or her pursuits or the dainty environments of her home as she has always done heretofore. She thought to find shelter in a tower of strength, and she finds her­ self captive in a squalid and hateful prison, while he who was to have been her devoted knight And preux chevalier becomes AT ONCE HER JAILER AND HER FELLOW CAPTIVE. ALL THIS BECAUSE. FOOR WOMAN, SHE FAILED TO COR­ RECTLY GUESS THE RIDDLE PROPOUNDED TO HER BY THAT UN­ KNOWN POWER WHICH WE CALL NATURE OR FATE OR, BY WAY OF PARABLE, THE SPHINX. The riddle of human character—did anybody ever FULLY solve it! Many of us have tried, but can any one of us say with conviction that we have succeeded ? For even at the last—even after the man. has discovered that he has not married the woman he sup­ posed, and after, in the latter case, the woman haa found out ber own woeful mistake--can we set it down aa CERTAIN that either of them finally reads tho other’s character ARIGHT t I firmly believe not At first each uw virtues that either were too evanescent or too much matter of pretense to be of any lasting service, and when these had vanished each discovered fault? and disagreeable ways and perliape vices that REEMED to comprise the WHOLE character. But, after all, does not truth lie in the middle here as in most other cases! Neither man nor woman is quite as good as we at first imagined or quite as bad as we afterward con­ cluded—in fact, we never quite understand from first to last; we NEVER get the TRUE answer to the conundrum. THE SPHINX HAS THE BEST OF IT EVERY TIME. VW**? । Women Who Ask For Attention From Men Br ELLA WHEELER WILCOX Being In New York for a few days in midsummer nnd having heard a great deal of Coney Island, I felt a desire to visit It Taking a comfortable steam­ boat, after a pleasant ride through the Narrows of New York bay I found my­ self at the pier, and after spending some time looking at the bathers who were sporting in tbe water beneath I hired a bathing room and a suit and dressed for a bath. I am a good swimmer and after amusing myself for awhile among the bathers struck out for deep water. Half a mile from tbe shore, when 1 supposed there was no one near me, I suddenly beard a cry for help and, looking toward the place from whence the sound came, saw a woman. Maki ,nK for her’1 ,’poke to her quIet,y• bltb ding ber not to get excited, but to place j one hand on my shoulder. She did so, and I struck out for the abort*. | gjje wug young and pretty. What her social position waa I could not tell. I have in my time mistaken a maid in bathing doth?* for a mis­ tress, and vice versa. When she told me that her strength had suddenly given out it was In a soft and musical voice. I concluded that had I not been on band at tbe nick of time she would have teen drowned, for twice ber hand slipped from my shoulder, she sank, and I waa obliged to dive deep for ter. At last I got ber In shallow water and led her on to the beach, where she sank down In what I judged to be a swoon. However, this was not for long, and I was surprised at the rapidity with which she recovered. When she did, turning to me with the sweetest of smiles, ahe thanked me for saving ber life and asked If there was any way by which sbe could stew her grati­ tude. “There I* a way,” I said, "that you could more than repay me. 1 am a stranger from tte far west and alone. Keep me company at dinner on tte broad plaxsa of tte Manhattan hotel, in sight of tte scene of oar meeting, and afterward go with me Into tbe concert room to listen to Sousa’s band.” "I shall be delighted," she replied, “to repay you in such an enjoyable way, L too, am alone. My home is In Brook­ lyn, not far from here, and I frequent­ ly come tare for a bath with my sla­ ter. Today ate is Indisposed, and X was obliged to come alone or miss my bath." “Very well,” I said. “We will change our clothes, and I will meet you on tte Manhattan piazza In half an hour.” We separated, and I went to my bathing house. Turning the key lu, the lock, the door opened and disclosed a 4Nt of checkerboard clothes which did not belong to me. 1 compared the number of the room wlffi that on the key and saw that I had made no mis­ take. The truth flashed u]>on me that some one had picked the lock and changed aults with me. I had not been so stupid as to leave my valuables, so the thief got only my clothes, hat and shoes. There was nothing for me to do but don the checkerboard suit I did so aud, going to the office, returned my key and obtained my valuables. When the lady saw me coming in my new, or, rather, old, habiliments she threw up her bands In astonishment.* •I explained the situation, whereupon she told me that a thief—probably the same [teraon wbo bad robbed me—had taken what change she bad brought with her, and she was penulless. -My dinner was so enjoyable, the lady so pretty and vivacious, tiiat I forgot my checkerboard clothes and, under the Influence of a bottle of champagne, quite lost my heart. When tte feast was ended I paid tbe bill and pressed $5 on tte lady with which to pay her expenses borne. She accepted it on condition tbat I would give ber my ad­ dress so that ste could remit the next day. Then we went into tbo concert room ami listened to the music. HE young women who ask men for attention and com­ pel them to become escorts are alarmingly on the inAl I ^30 CTteae. R ® Although the chaperon system is prevalent in the small, exclusive circles of our largest cities, there are still hundreds of thousands of cultured, charming young ladies in most cities who attend theaters and operas and recep­ tions with gentlemen escorts UNACCOMPANIED BY A CHAP­ ERON. It will require another hundred years before the custom is relegated to the grisettes and peasants, as in other countries. Young women who come to the city to study for a career seldom come chaperoned and depend upon the opportunities afforded by gentlemen friends to attend places of amusement. It is all very well when a fashionable young woman, properly chaperoned, invites a gentleman to occupy her box at the theater or opera, but it is quite another thing when a girl with a “career” asks fair one pass through tbe gate leading a man to devote time and money to HER entertainment. to tbe train, having taken ber address IT SEEMS TO ME THAT NO WOMAN WITH A SPARK OF RE­ FINEMENT OR GOOD TASTE OR SENTIMENT COULD DO SUCH A THING. and promised to call. Then 1 went back to a seat on tbe ocean’s edge to dream of my adventure. Near mid­ night I strolled down to the boat. In­ tending to go to New York, but It oc­ curred to me that It would never do for me to return to tbe hotel In such loud apparel, so at the last moment I left the boat to pass the night at the Manhattan hotel, Intending to buy a new suit In tte morning. Tte ropes were just being unloosed and tte gang­ way hauled on to tte pier. I stood looktag up at tte crowds taming over tte guards, while tte steamer swung FAVORITE GARNITURES. Pirtarena' A striking gown of the day la the princess in peau de sole, with pelerine collar and long hanging sleeves of em­ broidered linen, with a flounce to match on the skirt, shown in the first cut. And not less effective Is the voile dress ot the second illustration, with lace insertions and green velvet rib­ bons. Broad bands of taffeta trim tho large Marie Antoinette collar and the skirt. Tbe gown of the season is tbe white muslin enhanced with multitudinous narrow frills of vslendenoes lace, frills whose ramblings give a curious sug­ gestion of movement aud life, so re­ moved are they from any set and stiff scheme. Especially is this true In even­ ing gowns, not only of frills, but of their kindred ruchlngs and boulHonnes. A pretty decoration seen on an oven* Ing confection of full skirt and Louis XVI. corsage was a trolling design of moossellne pompon roses and foliage appllqued at tbe head of a deep lace flouncing. Rosettes made of circular quillings of pink ribbon were the pret­ ty garniture of another gown of mus­ lin and lace. Strappings of white taf­ feta and tiny black jet buttons on the full skirt and corsage decorated an ele­ gant toilet of black and white spotted mousseline. One of the prettiest of washing gowns Is built In wblte butcher's linen, trimmed with embroidered bands and Inlets of soft lace, with the color inten­ sified by one of the kid belts now so much worn. Damask linen of light weight en­ hanced with thick openwork embroid­ ery strikes a decidedly original note In costume.

California [Copyright. 19M. by M- Wood.] Mr. Mark Tirrell swung hls horse into the bridle path tbat ran along one side of the avenue and to tbe unutter­ able surprise of Nancy, who was some­ thing of a loafer In the way of horse­ flesh, he permitted her to drop into the gn. be was wont to term “funereal." As a general thing, when they reached the bridle path hi the gray of these early winter mornings Tirrell would any briskly, "Come, Nancy," touch her with the crop and they would go gal­ loping smartly toward the reservoir In a fashion which made tbe occupants of the early curs turn about to catch another glimpse of them. There was no “Come, Nancy," this morning; no touch of the crop. Tirrell sat stiffly In the saddle, gazing straight ahead —at nothing apparently. So Nancy poked along in her shuffling walk, her head thrust out and her ears laid back In a manner which on any ordinary occasion could not have failed to rouse Tirrell's ire. It was a dull, cheerless morning, tew hanging clouds were In tbe sky, and through the bare brunches of the elms the wind whistled a prophecy of snow. Tirrell smiled grimly. Tbe morning corresponded with hls mood. Last night, when he had quarreled with Amy Linton, It had seemed to him that with very proper dignity be bad offered able defense of a principle; this morning, aa be mentally reviewed tbe affair, he stamped hls whole course of action as asinine. Mias Linton was not tbe sort of girl wbo flew into temper ontupoment and repented It the next Hb? anger ma­ tured slowly and was deep rooted. Tir­ rell felt sure tbe end bad come. No more jolly evenings with ber before the library fire; no more rides with ber in tbe crisp air of the winter mornings. He shut bls teeth and threw back hls head. "Close ranks here.” he growled to himself, and to the mare, "Come, Nan­ cy.” He struck ber smartly with tbe crop. Nancy responded with a side­ wise spring which would have unseat­ ed a lees experienced rider and gallop­ ed up tbe path at a pace that sent the bioM surging to Tirrell's checks. But neither tbe pace of the mare nor the chill of tbe morning nor hls own de­ termination to forget tbe whole affair could drive Amy Linton from bis mind. He could see ber standing, as ate ted last night, on tbe otter side of the library table, ber face white and ter eyes flashing Are. He could beer ter nay again, "There Is really nothing more to be said, Mr. Tirrell; good night,” aud he pictured her to himself as she swept from tbe room, her bead poised proudly above tbe perfect sboul- A method of making a fine grslaed sherbet—one that will keep frosen aa long as a cream—is as follows: BoU a quart of water and pint of sugar to­ gether for ten minutes, dissolve In it one teaspoonful of gelatin tbat has teen soaked in cold water to cover and strain the mixture into the can of a freezer.

The pupil of a good riding master la usually disappointed at not being al­ lowed to do more in the first lesson. He expects to mount the horse at once, . start off with a trot and wind up with a canter. He la a little annoyed upon finding that the first lesson constats almost wholly of oral instruction and a great part of it on foot at that. If the master is conscientious lie will not permit tbe anxiety to be off and doing to interfere with a proper understand­ ing of tbe A B C of the art Should tte beginner apply at one of the big riding academies In New York for instruction the first lesson will begin with tbe leading by a groom ot a terse, bridled and saddled, into tte center of tbe ring. The riding master and tbe pupil take their stand close by, and the former begins to explain painstakingly tbe va­ rious parts of tbe saddle and bridle and their purposes. Before anything further is attempted the pupil must be able to answer simple questions in regard to the pommel and the cantie. the curb and the snaffle, and to know the uses of the two bits. To FitzGerald, careless, disorderly, unconventional, who bad for so long folllowed his own sweet will, punctil­ ious etiquette and fastidious neatness in attire were above all things hateful. He once said to a friend: "I couldn't be bothered with all those whims— dressing for this and dressing for that I couldn't put up with it” He and a friend were dining at a hotel, and among tbe good things set before them was a noble fruit pie. But they had eaten so heartily of the first course that when it came to the pie’s turn they were beaten. FitzGer­ ald looked troubled. “Mrs. So-and-so (the hostess), who knows my partiality for fruit,” said be, "will take it aa a slight if we leave tte pie untouched.” Bo without more ado he cut out a good sliced wedge with a fair allow­ ance of fruit and dropped It into hla hat, which be covered with hla yellow silk handkerchief, and rang tte tell for tte bllL—Wright's “Life of UtaGerald.’’ CITY MARKETS.

Frank Olner. Moved and seconded that report be adopted. Carried. The committee on resolutions, through their chairman, Tbos.Sullivan, reported as follows: The democrats of Barry county, in convention assembled declare anew their faith in the fundamental princi­ ples of the democratic party, believing those principles are essential to the welfare of the people and the perpetu­ ity of a republican form of government. We condemn the present state ad­ ministration for its corruption and ex­ travagance and its entire subserviency to corporate influences until today the Michigan Central Railroad Company governs the state through Atwood, Navin, Bliss and a majority of the up­ per brunch of the state legislature. We condemn the republican state machine, so-called, created and con­ trolled by the railroad and other corpo­ rate influences of the state, by which they control nominations, dictate ap­ pointments to office, shape legislation to suit their wishes and without whose O. K. mark, no man be he ever so worthy, may aspire to office. We condemn the methods of the state republican machine, so called, in cre­ ating lesser machines within the counties of this state, who owe allegi­ ance to the state machine until it has become notorious that no man may aspire to office in any county through­ out great portions of the state until he has the license and support of the ma­ chine, which support must be secured bv the applicant sinking his own inde­ pendence and by promising to yield obedience and support to an office hold­ ing coterie of corrupt politicians. We favor legislation that will enable the people of the state to elect the state railroad commissioner and the mem­ bers of the s:ate tax commission. We condemn the present board of state tax commissioners as the pliant tools of the railroad corporations, in whose interests they were appointed and to the end that the people of the state may have the fullest freedom in the selection of their public servants, free from tbc corrupting influences of the present vicious system. We favor the enactment of u general primary election law to apply to all village, city, township, county and state offices. * tl.OO We favor a law giving municipalities the power to regulate charges of public service corporations within the limits of our state constitution.

Mr. Editor:—Will you allow mesjiace in your columns to call the attention of our political parties to a great mistake they have both made. They ought to hold their conventions earlier. The campains are to short when the con­ ventions are held in August. It would l>e better from the standpoint of us practical politishuns if conventions was held the first of April. Then there would be time for work which they aint when the campain opens os late as it does this year. I am a practical and active worker In politicks. Mr. Editor, one of the kind that gets right out among the voters and works In a way that counts. ’I aint no stump speecher, nor none of those fellers that wastes their time in argyment. I go out with the stuff among the boys and I do practical work which amounts to something when the votes are counted—and its votes that we workers are after. Now, Mr. Editor, you can easily see that we want a long campain to do th® best work in, and you can allso sep that it aint treating us workers right to cut off our perquisite in the way both U parties are doing this year. Why, the democrats actually talked of posponiug their county nominating convention to the twentieth -of September! It aint right, Mr. Editor, and I protest. It’s unfeeling and ungreatful to us workers who have to bare the sweat and toil of of the campain. These reformers can talk all they pleas about purity in . politicks, but we workers don’t take any stock in such stuff. It’s money that talks in politics, and it is us work­ ers that wins campalns. And so I say', give us a fair show. Yours respectfuly, A. G. Rafter. Hastings Expects a Big Crowd. Extensive preparations are being made for the Barry county soldiers’and sailors'reunion and picnic to be held Aug. 24. 25 and 26. This is to be the largest gathering of soldiers and their friends ever held in Barry county. The railroads have been asked for special rates on all trains. The state tente have been secured. Hay, straw, coffee, tea, etc., will be provided free of cost to all who come. Several of the best speakers of the state have been en­ gaged for that occasion. Hon. Grant Fellows of Hudson will speak to the boys and girls of and the Span­ ish soldiers Wednesday afternoon or evening; Hon. Edwin F. Sweet, mayor of Grand Rapids, will be hero Thurs­ day or Friday; Senator Julius C. Bur­ rows and several of the prominent men of the state have signified their inten­ tion to meet with us. Judge Clement Smith, Hon. P. T. Colgrove and other Barry county men wlll^honor the oc­ casion. Let Barry county turn out en masse and make this the banner re­ union of the county.

Al­ though a resident of Hastings only a few months, a comparative stranger to many, those with whom she came in contact felt she was the embodiment.of all womanly virtues that combine to make the truly Christian character. Her child life and early girlhood was passed in a home where love and pros­ perity protected her from every adverse wind. An early Christian education direct­ ed her to the communion of the church. She was baptized by Rev. M. Spaulding, prepared for confirmation by Rev. R. H. F. Gairdner, then rector of Trinity, Niles, confirmed by Bishop G. D. Gilles­ pie and later entered into work of the Church in the mission at Cassopolis with the Rev. J. W. Bancroft as his organist, a position she waa well fitted to assume. Her love and zeal was Im­ parted to all who came in contact with her, aad when adversity came to those she loved, with the same resolution, the same activity without one selfish motive, she gave herself a willing sacrifice, until an illness singularly painful and protracted, claimed her for its own, and for four long, weary months she patiently and without one murmur awaited her Saviour’s sum­ mons. She was buried In Riverside ceme­ tery, close to the rector she loved so well. Harry Walldorff, who has been in Albion for the past month has decided to locate in that city. He has bought a nice home there and came back here Saturday for the purpose of packing np and removing to his new home.

V It Would Stop a Great Evil. * •5 i jr ”Wo demand the passage of laws making null and void all franchises obtained by bribery.” Such is the ringing declaration of the Missouri state platform on which Joseph W. Folk is running and which was inspired by him. In it a death blow is aimed at bribery. It is not enough to punish the legislator or aiderman who sells out to a rich corporation that wants a valuable public franchise. Such men of course deserve to be punished for their venal crime. They are not fit to occupy a position of honor and trust or to associate with reputable citizens. But they are not such deep offenders nor such dangerous criminals as the corrupt corporations that offer the bribes. It is none too severe a penalty to take away from such bribers the franchises they have so basely obtained. Moreover, if Mr. Folk’s remedy were applied few corporations would dare to offer bribes. For they would consider the risk of detection end consequent forfeiture of franchise too great to be incurred. Thus they would be honest as a matter of policy if not necessity. It is sincerely to be hoped that Mr. Folk will be elected governor of Mis­ souri and be given a chance to apply his theory in practice. lt*would put an end to franchise stealing in that state and serve as a good example for other states where this evil prevails. While the democratic county con­ vention adopted resolutions to which every democrut cun fully subscrilie, there was pne omission which can be accounted for only on the supposition that it was overlooked. There should have been a clause endorsing the St. Louis platform and candidates. For surely no good democrat will fail to support the splendid work done at the national convention. It is fair to assume that the matter was simply overlooked or deemed superlluous. It would not be a bad idea to add such a ' Spending Money in Elections. resolution when the convention recon­ A candidate for a county office made venes on the 20th of August. the remark to a Herald representa­ Hon.

It is not only Injur­ ious to public morals but it is also bur­ densome and unjust to candidates. The legitimate emoluments of most public offices are too small to warrant tbe out­ lay which itfis thought necessary to make now-a-days in conducting a per­ sonal campaign. There are many of* flees whose salary for a single term will "hardly recoup the expense of winning them. This vicious condition of running for office debars many an honest and worthy citizen from accepting a nom­ ination. He cannot afford to pay the price and his self respect will not per­ mit him to do so. And so if this heavy exaction upon candidates could be done away with, politics would be vastly purer, and everybody except grafters and tbe cor­ rupt voters would be better off. Some Political Speculations. i. S' carry the Empire State. With the vote Of NAur Vrtnlr 411 -.Ill . . 49 of New York they — will still ___ need more votes and there is a good fighting chance of securing these. Colorado with 5 votes. Connecticut with 7, Dela­ ware with 5, Maryland with 8, Nevada with 3, New Jersey with 12, Rhode Is­ land with 4, and West Virginia with 7 would just make the required number: or if Indiana with 15 votes can be car­ ried for Parker, several of the smaller doubtful states can be dispensed with. Possibly the above figures, which are taken from conservative and reliable sources, will prove to be far from cor­ rect when the votes are counted. Pos­ sibly this campaign is going to be a record breaker in the way of independ­ ent voting and political changes. There are some reasons for believing so. But it is certain that the cam­ paign managers on both sides will base their tactics upon these estimates. They are going to concentrate their most strenuous efforts upon New York state. The democrats feel that they must hare New York, the republicans know that if they carry it the struggle is won. The democrats must also wage a vigorous campaign for most of the other doubtful states. In the meantime tbe "sure” states will enjoy comparative freedom from political excitement and yet some of these sure states may surprise the country on the eighth of November next Political prognostications are being indulged in already and as usual, they take their bias from the standpoint of the prognosticators. Republicans will take their pencils and show you con­ clusively by the figures that Roosevelt is sure to win. ‘ Democratic enthusiasts will make a different combination of the figures whereby it becomes plain to any reasonable man that Judge Parker will occupy tbe White bouse after the fourth of next March. All estimators agree that Parker Is sure of 151 votes. As it will lake 239 votes to elect, he will have to receive 88 more in order to win. Estimators do not quite agree as to the number of * sure votes for Roosevelt. Some place lhe number at 203, others at only 182. Taking the lower figures as correct, Mr. Roosevelt will have to carry 57 more votes to win. The republicans place Montana in their “sure” list, although the state has never given its electoral vote to a re­ publican except in 1892. But admitting their list to be correct, the doubtful states are as follows: Colorado, Con­ necticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Utah, West Vir­ ginia, Wisconsin, having a total vote of 122. The problem for the republicans to solve is, how to carry 57 votes out of the 122; for tbe democrats how to carry 88 of them. If the republicans can carry New York with her 39 votes, they will need but 18 more to win and these IStneyare ----18 they are reasonably certain ofsecuring If they do not carry New York, it is possible for them to "win, although their chances are very much reduced, On the other hand there is very little ground for democratic hope unless they “Machine'* Politics and Republican Insincerity. (From the Latuia? Journal.) On the 20th of last April I received from the Republican State League of Michigan a communication requesting a service from me in the interest of primary reform. From a pamphlet in­ closed, issued under the authority of the league I make the following quota­ tions: We are for a government of the people, by tbe people and for the peo­ ple all the time; not for a government of the few, by the few, and for the few most of the time. There Is no denying the fact that there is widespread political corrup­ tion in Michigan. Its concluding page waa as follows: It la a close corporation, consisting of bosaea who hold all of the underlying securities and first mortgage bonds; minor office holders who hold preferred stock with small but sure dividends, and a oonsiderable body of office seekora, camp followers and plain citizens who receive only common shares. To it tbe public business h a legitimate field for private exploitation, and tbe administration a fountain of ways and means. It has no principle but greed, no politics but self Interest, no purpose but graft. Graft, as we use-the term Includes unearned salaries, fees, per­ quisites, political honors, licenses, privileges, profits on public contracts and legislation; in short everything gained through the public service, ex­ cept statutory pay for services actually rendered. Sen. Francis W. Parker, In ‘The World Today” for March. Michigan voters will find in the pro­ ceeding paragraph an accurate de­ scription of the plan of organization as well as the alma and purposes of tbe po­ litical machine which seeks to continue in control of tbe state government; to defeat the movement for “direct nomi­ nations.” Such were the virtuous declarations of The Republican State League of three months ago; but now all forgot­ ten as it yields to the blandishments of the seducer so recently reviled. The league has met; been banquet­ ed by the “Machine;” has pledged its support; content, in its own language to be numbered among the “camp fol­ lowers and plain citizens who receive only common shares." For a decade Michigan has been sub­ ject to well-nigh every humiliation that could shame a state. Indeed, its business has become a field for private exploitation, and its administration a fountain of ways and means. Such has been tbe conditions of its affairs that in ten years it has trebled its exactions from the people; warranted by neither increase of wealth nor population. They -----have been. years in which the treasures of the state have been looted by honored and trusted officials, years in which the foul trail ot the corporate corrupter baa been visible In tho balls : of legislation, years in which the be-I i stowal of executive clemency upon of.... •'. * fenders with political “pull” has wrought disres]>ect for law and consti­ tut’d authority, years in which ignor­ ance and inefficiency have been crowned in honor above wisdom and judgment, years in which the demands of tbe people, as evidenced by every avenue of public expression, have been Ignored, years in which the party in­ trusted with responsibility and power has made futile in legislation every promise for which It has claimed a con­ tinuance of confidence. All this be­ cause the voters of Michigan like the Republican State League prefer, con­ sciously or unconsciously to give the prize of election to the machine that they lack the organization to defeat in convention. It is not that the great body of the majority will that such con­ ditions should be. Each recurring campaign has brought the expiring hope that conditions would change until long sufferance Is construed as confidence, emboldened from which the organization which controls makes neither excuses for past failures or promises for the future; but sends to the faithful the message ‘.‘Stand Pat.” That a coterie of office holding poli­ ticians can, under existing conditions, ignore their party’s pledges and bid defiance to all but unanimous public opinion is in itself an issue the occasion for. most serious alarm. The republi­ can state platform of two years ago pledged the party to the enactment of a measure of primary reform, in its own language so as to secure pur­ ity in politics. Of such a law the governor in his message to the leglature said: Both the great political parties have declared in favor of such a measure and the subject is therefore one in which the people of all shades of politi­ cal belief are interested. The speaker of the house, upon as­ suming the duties of his offiec, urged tbe passage of such a law as one of the first duties of that body. Such a bill did pass the house by a vote of 79 to 14. It went to tbe senate and to its death, and today the man in whose interest the bill was defeated, who was the po­ tent factor in the spurning of party pledges has been nominated for the highest place within the gift of his party and the state. Alexander Maitland is standing for election as lieutenant governor, the presiding officer of the senate. Two years ago he came to Lansing at the commencement of the legislative ses­ sion, placed Baird, Kelly and Fuller on th? committee that should have charge of the “primary bill,” stacked every other committee against salutary legis­ lation and then returned to his Negau­ nee home, never again to preside over the body that constituted the sole duty of his office. Out of a session of one hundred and seven days the Hon. Frank P. Glazier of Washtenaw answered to tbe roll call in the state senate, to sixty. He was there when his vote was necessary co defeat the primary election bill; he was there when his vote was required to confirm tbe appointment of Tom Navin as one of the guardians of the prison where he had but recently been a con­ vict; he was never absent when special interest could be helped by his pres­ ence. Such a record made him eligible to the nomination for state treasurer. The most prominent name now men­ tioned for the speakership of the next house is of one who had the courage to stand as one of fourteen and voce against Che primary election bill and his party’s promise. If the machine which has consummated the past does not show its influence in the selection of three candidates for supreme judgships, if it does not besmirch the er­ mine of judicial honor, it will be be­ cause of the miscarriage of every pres­ ent indication. The issue in the state of Michigan is plain and momentous. It is, shall the state in its various branches reflect tbe sentiment of its best citizenship for honesty, for econo­ my and for progress or shall it surren­ der the last vestige of public control to the machine of the dominant party of whom the State Republican League so recently said: It has no principle but greed, no poli­ tics but self interest, no purpose but graft.

J. T. PIERSON & SON to to �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1904 This is the man,” aakl Mra. Van vorst. She laid on the table the pretty ellver police whistle with the satisfaction •f having used it to good purpose. Then she stood back complacently to view the result A strange group was gathered in her lainty dressing room. In the midst of Its gilt and whiteness and laduess, its filmy curtains and tinted satin up­ holsteries, stood two burly policemen gripping her butler. Three frightened maids huddled in the doorway, too much terrified to come in and too curious to go. "Bo ye found him tinkerin’ with a drawer, did ye, mum?" asked one of tbe officers. "I found the drawer open, and he was just putting the lace handkerchief into his pocket,” replied Mra. Van Vorst, indicating an open drawer of the dress­ er with a sweeping oratorical gesture, for she had a keen liking for the dra­ matic, and this actuation appealed to her. She was no coward, and there was something delightful in having entered her room to find a burglar, even though her own familiar butler, there before her. Perhaps the affair was more pleasing in that be had been »uch an oddly mild and obliging burliar. “I came to my room only a short Ume ago.” she went on, “and as I entered the door I heard the sound of L soft step. I thought that Fifiue had ■ome In before me. Strangely enough, I did not even glance up at first, but rtopped there by the door to arrange those orchids. While 1 was bending ibove them a voice spoke. Imagine my start when I beard a man's voice raying, T have stolen your bandkerJhlef.’ I repressed a scream and look­ 'd up to recognise In this creature the man whom I have lately employed as my servant.” The man stood quietly before her while she went on with her story. The policemen kept a wary eye upon him, but relaxed their grip as they saw bls submission. » "What eame next on the programme, »umr the officer pursued. "I cried 'Base wretch!’ and seized the whistle that summoned you. He tnhde no reply to me, but sat down calmly as if waiting to be arrested.” "And, faith, what did he do with the handkerchief?” “He was putting it Into bis pocket at the time he called my. attention.” “Which one?' “The right waistcoat pocket.” Two great bands of the law prepared to search. The man spoke gently. “Don’t trou­ ble, gentlemen,” be said. "I can get it i tor you easier.” One of his hands was freed, and be produced an exquisite handkerchief of cobwebllke lace. “And there’s another thing I want to do.” Be started to reach for a hip pocket when a rough hand stopped bls. “None o' that,” snarled tbe officer. “Then I’ll thank you to reach in that pocket for me, sir.” Tbe policeman did so. There was no revolver in It He gave a grunt of dMgrin. “It’s tbe money I’d like to have you got out, sir. I ain’t armed. Please give Mrs. Van Vorst |5.

The horses fidgeted impatiently. The restless driver clanged bls gong. “Hustle up there, your politeness,” growled one of the officers. As the man started to enter the wag­ es he was met by Costello, a police­ man who bad been waiting on the wagon. “The dlwil and all!” cried Costello. “Sure and It’s Bill Page!" “It’s me all right,” answered the man with a friendly smile and entered the wagon. Costello followed to act as guard, the gong clanged, the horses started off with a dash, and the assembled small boys scattered, their show being over. “Faith and I’d like to know what ye mean by stalin' a handkerchief?* said Costello after the story had been told. “Bill Page nivver saw the insolde of the station in his life for anything but t dbrunk.

It was an astonishment to every one who knew him when It was told that he had been stealing. He bad been known to the police for a long time as a toper, but no one dreamed that he had any vice more serious than a love for tiie bottle. He had paid the pen­ alty of being found drunk a number of times and was known to the force as a thoroughly good fellow when sober. Judge Marvin had given him a long sentence tbe last time, hoping to work reform, and be had endeared himself to everybody about the jail, where he was intrusted with tbe care of the flower beds. Tbe formalities of another sentence passed quickly. Page was strangely cheerful about It all. Judge Marvin reprimanded him severely, nil the time feeling that his words made no im­ pression, for tbe man seemed well con­ tent with his lot And yet be was not in need of shelter, as are some who seek arrest He was entirely sober, and investigation proved that be had given up a well paid position for a ;>e‘.ty offense, tbe theft of an article that must have been useless to him. The jail doors creaked to admit him once more. He settled down cozily In his quarters, affably friendly to some of his old time comrades. Days slipped by, and a restlessness came over him, although he was tho same orderly prisoner as ever. At last he approached the jailer: “Why don't you give me my old job, sir?” he asked anxiously. “Oh, you had tbe flower beds, didn't you? That's so. W’ant them again, do you?” "Oh, please, sir,” Page replied, his face as eager as a child’s. Next day found him out in the sun­ shine, shears and trowel in hand. Tbe flower beds surrounded the next building, which was the woman’s sec­ tion of the jail. Page approached his work nervously and went about trim­ ming the roses in a preoccupied man­ ner. At every sound be started. A light step came up the walk. Page jumped to his feet as he recognized tho sound of it "Polly!” he cried and seized a girl’s hands in his. | Joy and sorrow mingled In her face. "Oh, Bill, you’re back after you swore to me you’d never drink again!" she cried. “I haven’t touched a drop. Polly.” he answered, and his words rang true. "It was for stealin’I" he cried joyfully. “Stealing!” she gasped in horror. “Yes—don’t you see—an honest steal. I took tho handkerchief and gave It right back and gave Mrs. Van Vorst the money to pay for the bottle I broke doin’ it I had to run the bluff, Polly. I couldn't stay away from you any longer. Ain’t you glad to see me. little girir "I don't know,” she said, perplexed. ‘‘Now we’ll be here together just like we used to be when we first got to know each other.

It won't be so long to wait little gM-tbere, there, don’t" And her tsars found refuge on bls shoulder. She raised her bead from bls shoul­ der for a moment “Do you believe that exercise and lo­ tions and toilet preparations will im­ prove a woman's looks?” she asked. He pressed her blond curls back upon his cheat "They couldn't improve tbe looks of some women,” be said. “Whose?* she asked. “Well, yours and Violet Bleweye's, for instance," he replied thoughtlessly. "I don’t understand you,” she said, raising her head for the second time and chilling him with a look. “We are not at all alike.” "I mean," be replied, returning her head for tbe second time and thinking quickly, “that your looks couldn’t be Improved because they are perfect as they are, and that hers couldn’t be Im­ proved because no amount of work could make her pretty.” And the firelight flickered knowingly as she sighed a great sigh of content­ : ment and belief, while he drew a deep breath.—Cincinnati Times-Star. In his “Handbook on Modem Japan" Ernest W. Clements says: “On the seventh day of tbe first month, if a male swallows seven and a female fourteen red beans, they will be free from sickness all their lives; if one bathes at tbe hour of the dog on the tenth day his teeth will become hard. A child begotten in tbe father’s fortythird year is supposed to be possessed of the devil. When such a child is about one month old it is therefore exposed for about three hours in some sacred place. Some member of tbe family then goes to get it and, bring­ ing it to the parents, says, “This Is a child whom I ‘have found and whom you bad better take and bring up.' Thus, haring fooled tbe devil, the par­ ents receive their own child back." A GREAT BABY SHOW A INFANTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD Pointers on Ginseng Culture.

Life Stake a FED Somewhere in the world life is at •take every minute of the day. Right at our own doors, perhaps, is going qn a struggle as grim and fierce as any fight or flight on record. You hear the hol­ low tearing cough; see the ooze of blood which tells of the wounded lungs; mark the emaciated body and hectic cheek, •and know a life is at stake. The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med­ ical Discovery has saved many a life in just such a crisis. It cures obstinate, deep-seated coughs, stops the hemor­ rhage, strengthens " weak " lungs, and restores the emaciated Ixxly to its nor­ mal weight and strength. There is no alcohol in the "Discov­ ery," and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics. "I desire to send you this brief, unsolicited testimonial." writes Rev. Tc*eph H. Pespcrraau. Barium Springs. Iredell Co., N. C. "In 1898 one of my daughters was suffering on account of a severe cough, hectic fever, wasting of flesh and other symptoms of diseased lunes. I promptly gave her Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery with gratifying success, and she now enjoys excellent health. This experience caused me to recommend Dr. Pierce’s medicines to my neighbors, who. without exception, used them with favorable results."

Pierson & Son’s delivery horse made quite a ripple of excitement on State street yesterday forenoon by get­ ting frightened at an automobile and running down the street. After com­ ing within an ace of running over Jo. Pflug who escaped by his wonderful agility, the horse ran over a cross walk and the wagon which was a new one went crash against a telephone pole where it left a wheel and was dragged on its side across the street. Here tbe horse was stopped and tbe wreck gath­ ered up. Secretary Schantz says from now on until fair time the wires will be kept hot bringing •'Michigan’s best county fair’’ to a successful issue. Work will at once begin on the track and grounds and those having horses to exercise can soon have free access to the track.

A meeting of the board of trade was held at the city hall Monday evening and several matters of interest were discussed. It seemed to be the opinion of tbe majority of the members pres­ ent that tbe proposition to secure vol­ untary pledges from tbe citizens, bas­ ed upon the assessment rolls of the city to obtain a bonus fund for fac­ tories, was worth testing, but before any steps are taken to canvass the city, it was pointed out that a cam paign of education should lie inaugur­ ated, in order to explain to the people the matter of city taxes. At present there seems to be considerable dissatis­ faction with the alleged high taxes. Supervisor Osborn explained this us being due to the fact that last year the appropriations were made for only half a year, while this year they are for the whole year. Itiwas voted to request the city officials to make a statement showing the facts in regard • to taxes in this city ond publish the tame in the city papers. The Real Thing [Original.] “The gentleman on the floor below is dead. sir." “Dead? What did he die of?" "Murdered." "You don’t mean it! Well, put my things Into that suit case. I must be off in half an hour sharp or miss my train." While the man was packing I put in the last words of a chapter of a story I whs writing—for 1 am a slave of the pen—then looking at my watch nnd dropping my work rushed for the train. I was going to the country to spend Sunday with my fiancee. Tho next morning was bright and beautiful. Kathryn and I strolled away from the house and found a shady nook where we sat looking alter­ nately at a superb view and into each other's eyes. “Stephen," she was saying, "do you know I lay awake last night thinking that"— She paused and cast her eyes on the ground. "Thinking what, love?" “Papa says that you and I haven’t n tingle mutual acquaintance." I was holding her hand. I. dropped it "You are offended," abe said, tears starting into ber eyes. "No, hurt. You have no confidence In me for myself; only what you mny learn from others. Suppose I should be accused of some dark crime, would you stand by me with perfect faith when all others were sure of my guilt? Would you visit me in prison? Would you pour words of comfort Into my ear?" “Oh, Henry," she cried, throwing her­ self into my arms, "I would share your captivity with you. I would die with you." There was a pause. I heard words distinctly spoken, "That’s your man.” I turned, nnd a man stepped out from behind a bush. I had never/seen blm before, but a companion I recognized as an elevator boy In the apartment bouse where I had my rooms. “That’s Mr. Perkins," said the boy. referring to me. "Mr. Perkins, I'll trouble you to come with me.” “Come with you! Who are yon and what do you mean?” “I am a constable come to arrest you for the murder of Anthony Hurd, a gentleman occupying rooms In your apartment bouse.’’' Nothing will take the romance out of a person no quickly as being placed suddenly In one of those romantic situ­ ations In which one delights to read of others. I should have bitterly repelled the allegation. Instead I said Impa­ tiently: “What rot! I haven’t murdered any­ body." Tbe man paid no attention to my words. Instead be slipped a pair of handcuffs on my wrists. Kathryn, tbe heroine of this story, should have clung to me In tears, cry­ ing my innocence between her sobs. Instead she said, turning a bit pale: "This Is very strange." "Kathryn," I exclaimed, looking at her, disappointed and astonished, "do you think me a murderer?" There were conflicting emotions In Kathryn’s breast She had engaged herself to a man she knew very little about. Her father had counseled wait­ ing till my references from Sydney. Australia, where I bad lived till 1 came to America, could arrive. But Kathryn was as full of romance as I nnd said, “A fig for references to a woman who loves." “He’s been fooling you. miss," said the constable. "He’s a larrikin from Australia." “What’s a larrikin?" asked Kathryn, horror stricken at having loved any one with such a designation. “The descendants of the Botany bay criminals and a shipload of women from tbe London alleys sent out to Australia many years ago." , Kathryn covered ber face with her bands and turned her back. "Kathryn," I said reproachfully as I was led away, "how about your fine words to share my captivity, to die with me?" That there Is romance 'In men and women, though they do not always ex­ press it as In books, was evident from Kathryn’s reply, who as soon as put to the test relinquished ber book ro­ mance for the real article. “You shall have every opportunity to vindicate yourself. Papa will leave no stone unturned to prove that you are Innocent. And, oh, Henry"—this with a touch of tremor—"I do hope you are innocent!" "Spoken like a true woman. There is some mistake here. As soon as I can untangle it I will come to you." I kissed my band to ber as I was led away, but she was too uncertain to return it I left ber standing where we had been sitting, looking at me rue­ fully. At my preliminary examination the next day tbe following paper found In my room waa read: •1 tell you, Anthony, as I am a lar­ rikin, for this deed done in the wilds of Australia I will follow you to the jungles of India, to the wilds of Amer­ ica, and wherever I find you you shall die." "Judge," I cried, "somebody has been ‘stealing my thunder.’ That’s the last words of a chapter to a novel I wrote before leaving the city." "Tbe pape«" was found In your room," •aid the judge. "Tbe man murdered on the floor below was Anthony Hurd." "And tbe villain of my story was Anthony Mudge.” 1 was not long in convincing the court nnd getting a discharge. In my room I found mail from Australia con­ taining my credentials. 1 hastened to Kathryn, explained all. read my letters to her. and we fell into each other’s arms just as they do In book romance*. WILLIS STEPHENSON. WHEN WE GO BATHING. Among bathing accessories headgear is by far the most important feature of the minor fashions this season. Huts nnd caps made of imperishable materials nre shown In a variety of ex­ quisitely dainty forms. Of course the handkerchief squares will always be more or less popular for caps, ns they are by far the most practical head cov­ ering In existence. This year shows them in very decided figures and fin­ ished with a perl Alsatian bow ot huge proiMirtions. The style is universally becoming and Is sure to be a boon to tbe girl who is conscious of her a|>pearanee. After tbe first dip the big bow Is as fresh looking as ever, for it Is made of stiff grosgrain ribbon se­ curely wired to hold It in shape. A triumph was achieved by the girl who instituted the stock collar with the bathing suit Bathing stocks are made over water soaked canvas which is specially prepared for the purpose, and the oftener it comes In contact with salt water the more pliable it be­ comes, but never under any circum­ stances does It lose its shape. Water­ proof silk embroidered with washable floss In cross stitch bas tbe smartest effect imaginable. Touches of color so cleverly arranged as the wide hand embroidered girdles show are unusually attractive. By tbe way, these new belts supplant the braid girdles with long ends that were always impeding the swimmer. Three I large flat brass buttons fasten tbe , wide girdles in the back or in the front as the wearer prefers. All sorts of linen nnd cotton para­ sols carried with bathing suits form a novel feature of the season's faslilou whims. Some of these arc very gorgeously embroidered or appllqued with cre­ tonne roses suggestive of the Pompa­ dour period, while others have mono­ grams done in heavy cotton thread. Entirely new are the white canvas sandals with wide tape thongs. These indispensable little articles claim an advantage over the old style sandals in the freedom they allow and arc very smart in black and white combined. Tbe cork soles are light and offer ampie protection from sharp pebbles and shells. It is quite tbe correct thing now to Include a sweater L. your senshore ac­ cessories. AU tbe fashionable girls are wearing them after they come out of tbe water, and for those delightful lit­ tle scampers up and down tbe beach they are simply ideal The very smart­ est one Is the boy’s sweater knitted of very Leavy wool, the kind with a turtle neck that slips on over tbe head. One should have tbe sweater several sixes larger than one’s other garments, so It will go over the wet bathing suit easily.—Designer. AUGUST SPECIALS WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO A FEW SPECIAL BARGAINS.

Should Please All True Citizens. The nomination of Woodbridge N. Ferria of Big Rapids for governor by the democratic state convention last night will please every democrat who has insisted upon the nomination of a straight democrat for this office, and it should be equally satisfactory to those republicans who, disgusted with machine rule, have hoped for the nom­ ination of a clean, capable, honest, sin­ cere man.—Lansing Jaurnal. Will Force Warner to Come Out. Taken With Cramps, Wm. Kinnse, a member of the bridge gang working near Littleport was taken suddenly ill Thursdav night with cramps and a kind of cholera. His case was so severe that he had to have tbe members of the crew wait upon him and Mr. Gifford was called and । consulted. He told them he had a medicine in the form of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy that be thought would help him out and accordingly several doses were ad­ ministered with tbe result that the fel­ low was able to be around next day. The incident speaks quite highly of Mr. Gifford's medicines.—Elkader, Iowa, Argus. This remedy never fails. Keep it in your home, it may save life. For sale by W. H. Goodyear.

The Ann Arbor correspondent of the Detroit Evening News of August 5th has the following interesting write- j of John E. Mealley: To leave a state political convention at which one is nominated for a state office and travel one hundred miles to Luke a college examination seems a little out of the ordinary run of events, but that is what John E. Mealley did yesterday Mealley is attending the • university summer school and he •’bolt­ ed" his classes Wednesday to attend the democratic state convention at Grand Rapids, where he was nominat­ ed for state superintendent of public instruction. He could make up the class work all right, out us for the ex­ amination in *’psychology foundations," wh%h he was due to take Thursday afternoon, Il was another matter. Accordingly he traveled the greatest Eart of the night, and after a three ours' ■ nap beginning at 4 o'clock Thursday morning, started to “bohn” for the examination. The questions were many and difficult, but Mr. Mealley is a specialist in psychology and pedagogy and while he was too dignified to say “I knocked that prof's eve out." which is the accepted college slang for pleasurable retrospect at a recitation or an examination, he let it be seen that he was satisfied with his afternoon's work. The successful an­ swering of the questions about “psy­ chology foundations" seemed to inter­ est Mr. Mealley more than the prospect of being state superintendent of public instruction, for be is a man who is thoroughly in love with his profession­ al work. John Mealley Is in no sense a profes­ sional politician. He has been engaged in educational work practically all his life, and that is where his interests lie. A state office would not particularly ap­ peal to him If it were not connected with the spread of learning, and it would have probably never have oc­ curred to him to get after the nomina­ tion if his friends at Plymouth, bis for­ mer home, had not suggested it. His plan Is to remain at the university next year and take his master's degree in June, and even if he is elected be will remain until the close of the first semester in January. He has been en­ gaged in public school work, but his ambition is to become an authority in history and pedagogy and secure a pro­ fessorship in one of the big universities. It was for this that he resigned tbe superIntendency of the Plymouth pub­ lic schools last month to* come to tbe university. Mr. Mealley is 40 years of age and was born in Detroit. When he was 2 years old his mother placed him io a home for the friendless and kept him there 10 years. When he reached the age of 12 It was decided that he could shift for himself, and he was put to work on a farm. His boyhood was di­ vided between farming, work in tbe Detroit Stove Works and as a house painter. When he became a young man he determined to get an education, so went to Albion to work his way through the public schools. He was successful and also managed to gradu­ ate from Albion college, where he took his bachelor's degree in '94. Since then he has been teaching, his exper­ ience consisting of a year at Homer, three years at Hastings, as principal, two as superintendent and four years as superintendent at Plymouth. He isa hard worker and has attended summer school at Michigan university. He was president of the Barry County Teach­ ers’ association and is now president of the sister organization in Wayne county. He has been engaged In con­ ducting teachers’ institutions aud in this connection has been thrown inti­ mately into touch with W. N. Ferris of Big Rapids, the democratic candidate for governor. Prof. Delos Fall, the present superintendent- of public in­ struction is one of his warmest person­ al friends, and is in a measure his patron, as he worked for four years as Prof. Fall'a assistant at Albion college. He has a wife and a 7-year-old son. He has removed his belongings to Ann Arbor and will make his home here until be completes his work at the uni­ versity. “Do It To-day.” The time-worn injunction. “Never put off 'till to-morrow what you can do to-day,” is now generally presented In How’s This? this form: ‘‘Do It to-day!” That is tbe terse advise we want to give you We offer one hundred dollars reward far any about that hacking cough or demoraliz­ cane of catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall s Cure.

A Face of Dignity [Original.] It do^-sn't mutter bow eminently retapectiible, moral, dignified, honorable, one In. be is liable nt some time to be caught in a shameful situation. Fred Barnabee was the luxt man in the world to be laughed at A gentleman, prominent in his sei, courteous and dlguifled, deferential to ail, the very mention of his name In a party of young people was sufficient to excite sentiments of respect ami admlmtlon. Bu run bee was one of those men whom no one expects to make any ruatrlnne nlal alliance except with n lady equal­ ly refined and prominent as himself. Miss Alice Huntington was such a per­ son, and when Barnabee begun to pay her marked attention the social world said, “That will be an excellent match." Miss Huntington possessed every trait calculated to make her as prominent ns Barnabee save one—she was not as particular us to her associates. At a dunce she was ratiier Inclined to till her card with names of young men । who were either strangers in town or fellows who needed u bit of Influence to render tbem acceptable In society. Barnabee did not exactly approve of this, but endured it. since It was well understood that Miss Huntington might choose her assoclutes always from among tbe most eminent in soci­ ety. One evening Barnabee entered the grounds of Mr. Huntington, father of the young lady In question, when be saw the figure of Ellison Treat Just en­ tering the front door. Mr. Treat was a stranger who had been taken up by Miss Huntington despite the fact that he was somewhat brusque in his de­ portment and disposed to set aside many of society’s most cherished rules. He was In a condition of probation, no one—unless it waa Mias Huntington­ knowing exactly whether to accept him as one of the gilded set or not. Barnabee suspected that Trent had the same object In view os himself— vta, MIrs Huntington. If Treat was a suitor In good atanding with tbe lady be (Barnabee) would retire. No one would ever think of Barnabee running a race with another man for the hand of any woman. The match be would, make must be unique—that Is, a pair­ ing of two people socially far above all others in their set. Treat was evidently much at home with tbe Huntingtons or be would not be calling at so late an hour. It waa after 10 o'clock. Indeed, Barnabee mad* up bl* mind to discover tbe situation before paying any fur­ ther especial attention to Miss Hunt­ ington. He noticed near tbe parlor window, which was too high for him to look Into from the ground, a splendid apple tree, which waa at tbe time full of ripening fruit If be could get a glimpse of Treat and Mias Huntington alone together he could form an opin­ ion of their relationship. Fortune fa­ vored him In a short ladder which rest­ ed against tbe tree and by which be mounted to the lower l!tt4>* without tearing hla kid gloves. It occurred to him that the act was beneath wbat would be expected of him, but it was so easy of accomplishment that he yielded. Tbe window shade was rained, and the bright light revealed Mr. Trent aitting in an easy chair very much at home and Mlaa Huntington by a table doing fancy work. There was nothing in the demeanor of either to indicate any especial relationship, and Barna­ bee, suddenly realising that be would better be engaged at other business, was about to descend when a rear door opened. Mr. Huntington came out and, proceeding to a dog kennel, unloosed a ma itIff. Leading the dog to the tree, he commanded him to He down, then went back Into the bouse. A cold sweat stood out on Barnabee'* brow. Great heavens, was the dog to be left there all night? Barnabee could have stood a flogging, keelhauling, anything in tbe way of bodily suffer­ ing, but to be caught in such a position as this would be maddening. Treat was still in the bouse. How wou’d be get out of the grounds with tbe dog unchained? Was be so inti­ mate with the Huntingtons that even the dog considered him one of tbe fam­ ily? In half an hour Treat appeared at the front door, accompanied by Mr. Hunting ton, who called the dog and stood for a moment holding him by the collar. “It's the only way to keep my ap­ ples." Barnabee beard him say. "Tbe boys would hare them all In one night if I left them unguarded. Good night. Come to dinner on Bunday.” As soon as Treat was out of the grounds the speaker unloosed his bold on tbe dog and, pointing to tbe tree, sent the brute b*ck to bl* poet Then be went into tbe house. It was midnight when Barnabee con­ cluded to make an effort to Ingratiate himself with tbe dog. Tbe effort was a failure. As soon as the beast heard a sound In the tree be set up a vodferoub barking, dot would be desist. In half an bonr Mr. Huntington came out In a dressing gown. “What is it, Bruin T’ “It Is I, Mr. Huntington," called a faint voice from tbe branches. "You? Who are you?" "Barnabee." “Barnabee? Good gracious, what are you doing up in my apple tree?*’ "Well, you see, I was coming In to Sall and thought I would like an ap­ ple." “I see. You got caught Come down. Here, Bruin.” Society was somewhat surprised at the next assembly to see that Miss Huntington did not notice Mr. Barnabee.

By one of those itraago vicissitudes of politics which sometimes occur in nominating conventions, Woodbridge N. Ferris has become the standard bearer of the democracy in the great­ est state and national campaign that will have been fought in a half cen­ tury. Not a politician by trade, not an office seeker, not a millionaire business man, with an ambition to wield politi­ cal power and dispensefofficlal patron­ age, this modest gentleman was forced into the race at the last moment and caused to win almost against his own will and certainly without any effort whatever on his own part. But the very unexpectednessl with which Mr. Ferris has thus been placed in the leadership of a great reform movement will be an element of strength to his cause. He will have no axes to grind, no favorites to reward, no promises of place to fulfil, no en­ emies to placate. He will be able to conduct his campaign on lines that will be absolutely free from boss influence and from the taint of venality and po­ litical “pull.” Mr. Ferris is an educator, an orator and a successful business man. He has built up a large and Influential school at Big Rapids from which he is send­ ing forth year by year hundreds of young men with the principles of good citizenship and impressed with his own strong and inspiring personal­ ity. He finds time* withal to go upon the lecture platform and nse his recog­ nized talents as a speaker in dissemiDating his views upon tbe vital prob­ lems ot the day. And in addition to ■ these activities, he is a man of practi­ cal business interests, being president of a bank. Thus it will be seen that the democratic candidate for governor is pre-eminently a man of usefulness and force. He is doing a good work in the world, where he is. But the state of Michigan needs his services at Lan­ ning, and fortunately, he has expressed a willingness to assume the unexpect­ ed responsibility that has been placed upon him. His whple career is a prom­ ise that he will make such a governor as the people want and need. He is broadminded, practical, Independent and courageous. He is in a position to rally all the friends of reform around his standard and to wrest the govern­ ment of this commonwealth from the bands of its polluters. Thus under the brightest auspices and under the most satisfactory and honorable circumstances, Professor Ferris will make his campaign. All democrats and all republicans who want to see a greatly needed reform ef­ fected in our state affairs will rally to his support. without seriously affecting the pros­ perity of the American people. And yet. if Mr. Roosevelt is endorsed at the polls this fall, there is no reason for believing that the expenditures will be in the least reduced. The only way to put an end to the alarming extravagance which is now threatening to work disaster is to place Alton B. Parker in tho White house, and a democratic majority in the house of representatives. Judge Parker's conservative character and conscien­ tious regard for constitutional govern­ ment economically administered arc । warrant for predicting with entire con­ fidence that when he takes up the reins of government, a safe, sane and business-like policy will take the place of the present free and easy way in which the people's money is lieing squandered. A Lucky Escape. The democrats in the Grand Rapids convention who voted against Justus S. Stearns showed a conviction of duty that amounted almost to inspiration and we have little doubt that most of those democrats who supported Stearns are already reconciled to their defeat. The very course pursued by Mr. Stearns himself is sufficient justifica­ tion for his defeat. For, whether he is sincere, or not in his conversion to the democratic party, tho very fact of his willingness and even eagerness to ac­ cept the gubernatorial nomination at the hands of bis late political oppo­ nents would have cast such deep sus­ picion upon his sincerity as to have made him a very weak candidate be­ fore the people. As a matter of fact, Mr. Stearns was not available and the more carefully the conditions are studied the more fully does this appear. If he had been nominated the party would have been placed on tho defensive from the very start. The whole campaign would have had to be devoted to explanation. Democratic leaders and democratic newspapers would have had to explain Mr. Stearns’ record in 1900 and such explanation would have been embar­ rassing and depressing. They would have been obliged to satisfy the people that Mr. Stearns’ sudden conversion was sincere and honest, and that be was a broad minded, self sacrificing man who placed principles above self interest. This would have been a tre­ mendous task. It would have required a credulity on tho part of the honest voters of Michigan which would have been too great a strain upon human nature. The democratic party of Michigan is therefore to be congratulated on Its narrow escape from a most unfortunate predicament. Mr. Stearns, as a turn­ coat republican, ambitious for office would have been a fatal handicap to the party,, which even his avowed friendship for primary reform could not have overcome. ths functions of the three co-ordinate branches of our government that he entertains sound and sane convictions upon the duties and limitations of these departments. He believes in constitutional government and that ‘•ours is a government of laws, not of men, ’ deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed.’ ’* He be­ lieves that the present tariff law is un­ just and that a reasonable measure of reduction should be undertaken as soon as possible and that such adjust­ ment should be made os will not seri­ ously affect business interests. He be­ lieves that the trusts can be managed under existing laws, but if not, then he favors such additional legislation as will fully protect the people. He deprec­ ates any other course towards the Phil­ ippines than that which we have ac­ corded to Cuba. He is strongly op­ posed to militarism and Jingoism, and he declares that it elected he will not accept a second nomination, believing that he can best serve his country in the executive office if entirely inde­ pendent of personal motives looking towards a second term. Judge Parker has broken his silence In such a way as to convince the peo­ ple that he is the man they want in the White house, and they are going to put him there. The Tribune’s Change. A few weeks ago the Detroit Tri­ bune took the Herald to task for talking about "Democratic virility” ip Michigan, and devoted a half column of its valuable space to showing that the only thing for the decadent old party to do was to efface itself in the person of Justus S. Stearns. But our esteemed contemporary has been con­ verted to the Herald’s way of think­ ing. Here is part of a strong editorial in last Thursday’s edition of the Trib­ une which is pretty good evidence that the paper now believes, with the Her­ ald, that the old party is a pretty lively corpse: “Not in years has so keen an inter­ est been displayed by a democratic convention. The delegates to Grand Rapids were keyed up to a pitch of excitemeht inspired by thc nope of vic­ tory. From the position of a lost and losing cause tbe state democracy hits been galvanized into life by the knowl­ edge that the citizens of Michigan are io a state of political unrest and eager to rebuke as vicious and arrogant a coterie of politicians as ever got hold of a republican organization. The In­ tervention of the Stearns factor was not necessary for the demonstration of new vitality in the state democracy.” Having nominated a state ticket which all friends of reform in Michigan can support it behooves the democrats to place men in nomination for the leg­ islature who are in sympathy with pri­ mary reform and in favor of the over­ throw of the republican machine. A reform governor can accomplish very little without a reform legislature be­ hind him. It will be poor politics to concentrate all effort on the state tick­ et and let the machine capture the leg­ A Cause for Congratulation. islature, as it is shrewdly planning It is scarcely necessary to say that to do. the Herald is pleased with the mag­ Any republican who wanted Justus nificent work done at Grand Rapids. It was the firm conviction of this paper S. Stearns nominated in order that he might vote for him and thus help to before the convention was held that the nomination of Mr. Stearns would be a overthrow the machine has no possible reason for refusing to support Professor grievous mistake and the reasons for Ferris. If the foamer was acceptable such conviction were fully set forth in to such a republican the latter is far these columns. It is therefore espec­ ially gratifying to the Herald that more so. The former has a vulnerable record, the latter has not. The former the convention followed out a policy so has himself been active in machine fully in line with what it has hoped politics; the latter is absolutely free would be done.

A Poet and ^/I Harglar (Copyright. 1904. by C. B. Lew. j As a young man ot twenty-four I was keeping bachelor's hall nt an aunt's in the country while she was away for a fortnight, nnd one night a heavy hand was laid on my shoulder in a wny to arouse me. I opened my eyes to blink and wink at the light of a lamp close by, and pretty soon I made out the face and figure of a man land­ ing over me. He was a. middle aged man, not at all tough looking, nnd if he hadn’t had a pistol In his band 1 should have taken him for anything but a burglar. "Then you—you nre n burglar?" I stammered as ] sat up and rubbed my eyes. “Well, call it that," he replied, with 9 smile. “There are two charges here, legally speaking—breaking nnd enter­ ing In the nighttime nnd robbery from a dwelling. That pretty nearly makes me a burglar, I guess. Did you say you’d lunch with me this evening? If so, come along. You had an empty pis­ tol under your pillow, but 1 removed it before waking you up. Even an un­ loaded pistol lias l>een known to go off. Are you coming?" Like one in a trance I got out of bed and dressed and then preceded him downstairs nnd into the dining room, where I found the table spread for two. There were the remains of a cold ham, bread and butter, a bottle of wine, a tumbler of jelly, some cheese and a bit of cake. At that halcyon period I wrote poetry —n good deal of poetry. There were several of my “poems" lying about the library, and the robber gathered them all up and brought them to the table and said: “I used to be something of a poet myself till I struck a better thing. Here seems to be an ode to somebody named Maggie. Just read it, will you?" I demurred and he insisted, and I felt like a fool as I began to rend. Maggie was a girl I was somewhat mashed on, and I had written sixteen verses on her hair, eyes, mouth, hands nnd feet. When I had finished the first verse the robber laughed heartily and said: "Well, you are about the aoftest thing of your age I ever struck! You speak ot Maggie’s golden locks. You don’t mean brick color, eh?" “I mean what I say,” I replied, with a show ot dignity, and then I laid down tbe manuscript and told him I would not read another word of It to please him or any other robber living. “My dear boy," he said, with a grin on his face, "you come about as near being an idiot asylum as anybody I ever met. The Idea of a grownup man with whiskers on his chin writing such twaddle as tills! You’d better go out and hoe cabbage at a shilling a dny." “I haven’t asked you for advice,” I rapped back. "But you need it—lots of it. Odes, poems, idyll-ye gods’. You sigh to walk in the moonlight paths with the Idol of your heart do you? Better sit down in a comfortable room and eat peanuts with her. You say the sun goes down on yonr sorrowing heart. Are you ass enough to think the sun Is going to change Its routine on yonr ac­ count? Bay, you amuse roe. I haven’t met a fool before for fire year*!” "If you were not an armed robber do you know what I’d du?” I shouted in my indignation. "I can easily guess," he replied as be choked back bls laughter for a moment "If 1 wasn’t an armed robber you’d probably write a poem about me, and it would be just as slcktah as these here. A poet in bls little bed upstairs, and be had hie mouth wide open and was snoring like a horse! I come here to rob. I make a neat job of effecting an entrance. I get out all tbe solid sil­ ver and make a tidy bundle ot it I do the job in a way to do honor to my profession. I am all through when I discover a pumpkin beaded poet in his bed and am made almost ashamed of my work. “My son. I really can’t leave tbe house without giving you some ad­ vice. It’s no use to grit your teeth and look ugly over it. because you've got to take your medicine. In the first place, you are a rhymester instead of a poet. There’s no more poetry in your verses than there is tn that ham bone. "If Maggie is the girl I take her to be she’ll never marry a rhymester. In the next place, you are selfish and cruel to write of the moon, the silent night, the vine clad hills and so forth in the way you do. They nre helpless and can’t hit back. In the third place, you ought to be put In bed with a nursing bottle. Poetry—ye gods!" I glared at him nnd wanted to kill him. but didn’t know just what to say in reply. “You nre put out nnd indignant nnd nil that," he said ns we rose from the table, “nnd you will lay the flattering unction to your soul that I am a preju­ diced person, but that won't help you in the long run. A young man of yonr age nnd build who will dawdle Ills days nnd weeks nwny on rhymes hns a corkscrew loose In the top of his head and will either turn out a fool or •con’ man. Oblige me by stepping into this closet." I entered the closet from which he had taken the silver nnd wns locked In nnd did not get my liberty for the next twenty-four hours. About the first thing I did after finding thnt the robber had carried off the bundle nnd that there was no show to overhaul him was to tear up my various odes nnd poems to Maggie and others, nnd. although it hits sometimes come very hard to stick to my resolution, I haven't been guilty of even making a rhyme since that night. M. QUAD. FEMININE LANGUAGE. . You tnny talk to a woman for nn hour or more nnd understand every word she says. Ment, bread, money, motor cars, drains, the ace of trumps—there is really no space nt my disposal to give a list of the words that nre com­ mon to both languages, in fact, most of the solid, concrete things of life may lie left out of the question. It is when wo pass beyond the concrete that tbe real misunderstanding arises. Take a couple ot very common words used equally by both sexes. A man will say thnt So-and-so is a “nice" girl. I should know what he meant. A woman will reply that the girl Is pretty, agreeable and all thnt sort of thing, but that she Is "not quite nice." The two are using the same word to express different Ideas, nnd they will never agree as to whether that girl is nice or otherwise until they can talk the same language. Again in the feminine dictionary the opposite of “nice" Is "horrid." A man will talk of a "nice scoundrel" and a “horrid bore," nnd I can understand him. Rut when a woman tells me that a man is wealthy and clever nnd good looking—"but I’m sure he’s horrid"— she has dropped into her foreign lan­ guage. I can only be sure that she does not mean what I mean when I ■peak of a "horrid girl.”—London Out­ look. The Name Tibet, Many forms of the name Tibet sprang from the Chinese Tubar (fifth century) through the variations of Tuebet, Toboot, Thibet (1165), Tebet (1208), to Ti­ bet (1T30). Tbe origin of the name bu been variously accounted for, but the weight of historical evidence indicates that the word is derived from Tuhat, a famous family name proper to severs' ancient Tartar dynasties, extensively used in the sense of "chief." Hodgson asserts that before tbe ar­ rival of Indian teachers tbe people had no name for themselves or their land, and, though tbe present name is not, ns some say, unknown in the country it­ self, the modern Tibetans call them­ selves Bod-pa and their land Bod-yul, Bod being a Buddhist appellative sug­ gested by the Sanskrit b’ot, or bat, so working back to tho Tartar name.— London Spectator. Irish names have often a knack ot being frankly pugnacious, ao that even a peaceful lord chief justice has had to bear the inciting to murder sobriquet of Killowen. But the mountains from Lismore to Clogbeen, known as the Knockmealdown range, are capable of an entirely pacific interpretation, for we commonly say we are knocked down all in a heap by thia or that which takes ns by surprise, and these mountains surprise all by their beauty. There Is no lovelier sight in Ireland, and if nn air of melancholy prevails it la because the scene la "somehow and by excess of serenity," to use a phrase of Henry James It would be difficult to better.—London Chronicle. THE FIRST LESSON That the young girl has of womanhood is not seldom a painful one. She learns to know wliat headache means, and back­ ache, and sometimes is sadly borne down by this new experience of life. All the pain and miser)* which young girls commonly experience at such a time, may in almost every instance be ’ entirely pre­ vented or cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Fa­ vorite Prescrip­ tion. It estab­ lishes regular­ ity. It tones up the general health, and cures headache, backache, nerv­ ousness and other conse­ quences of womanly weakness or disease.

TOULON’S GREAT ARSENAL BURNS \ Flames Threaten to Wipe Out Stores at the French Naval Base. OFFICERS WORK AT 1HE PUMPS Admirals and Generals Take Turns With Enlisted Men in Effort to Save the Immense Stores From To­ tal Destruction. Toulon, France, Aug. 8.—Fire started in the great arsenal here at midnight, Sunday, originating In the extensive stores. The flames spread rapidly and threanened to embrace en­ tire blocks of buildings. The ttoops were at once called out and mustered in the streets. The perfect of the maritime port is or­ ganizing assistance and admirals and generals are helping In the work at the pumps. A division of the reserve squadron has been called upon to aid. Within ah hour after the fire started the entire population waa aroused. Guns are being fired aa sig­ nals for help, which is coming from the whole countryside. . The flames are spreading with the greatest rapidity. Base of French Navy. Toulon is the principal base of the French navy. It contains large arse­ nals, shipbuilding yards, docks for re­ pairing great battleships and cruisers, plants for the forging of big guns, immense warehouses for naval stores. The investment ot the French gov­ ernment in Toulon amounts to many millions of dollars. The port Is separated from the roadJ stead by moles, which are hollow and bombproof, and lined by batteries. There are also Immense private ship­ building docks, rope and big sail works. Toulon is the seat of mari­ time prefecture and possesses a school of hydrography, a medical naval school, and marine museum. Scans of Disaster. Tonion was the scene of a great disaster on March 5, 1808. when fiftyfi>e tons of black powder stored In tbe arsenal exploded, killing sixty soldiers and Injuring 100 more. The cause of tbe explosion was never as­ certained, but was generally at­ tributed to dissatisfied soldiers who set fire to the arsenal to get revenue lor harsh treatment I AERONAUT IS KILLED WHEN MAKING DESCENT Cuts Loose From Balloon After It Reaches Great Height, But Para­ chute Falla of Its Purpose. Muncie, Ind., Aug. 8.—Before sev- • eral thousand people Sunday night Less Warren, a daring young aeronaut of Gainesville, Fla., was killed in a most tragic manner. Warren made a balloon ascension at Eaton park. He reached the height of three-fourths of a mile, when he cut his parachute loose. Like a%ctet he shot toward the earth. The parachute failed to open, and the horrified spectators stood breath­ less as he shot tbfough apace. For a quarter of a mile the balloonist con­ tinued to gain velocity. Women fainted and ran from tbe scene. Oth­ ers closed their eyes as they realized his fate. Warren fell like a bullet, struck the top of a high tree, cutting the branches down with him. He struck the ground with a sickening thud in the midst of women, who fell faint­ ing. His neck, both legs and right arm were broken. The bones from his legs protruded through the flesh and were driven Into tbe ground. Hie parachute, which lodged in the tree tops, showed that he bad unbuckled the safety belt Warren was S3 years old. His dar­ ing leaps have created wide atten­ tion.- | NEGRO JUSTICE SENDS 1 MAN TO JAIL FOR LIFE MANY LOSE Lhw J0HNE5E LOSE , IN MIL WRECK 10,000 N FIGHT From Thirty to Fifty Person; Two Reports State kado's Forces Are Reported Killed on That MlFall in Great Numbers the Rio Grande.

Pueblo, Colo., Aug. 8.—Between thirty and fifty persons are reported to have been killed and drowned in a railway wreck on the Rio Grande at Pinon, twenty-five miles north of the city. The Rio Grande passenger train No. 11, south bound, went through the bridge over Fountain creek at 7:50 o'clock Sunday evening. The engine and five coaches were ihroan Into the creek, which Is swol­ len from recent heavy rains. The train was due to arrive at Push1c at 8:15 p. m. It carried many citi­ zens of the city, who were returning fiom Denver. A large party ot tour­ ists were also on board. A wrecking train was dispatched to the acene as soon as the news waa re­ ceived by tho railroad officials here. Relief on Special Trains. Then came the news that many ot the passengers bad been killed or (irpwned, and that perhaps scores of others had been injured. A special train was made up imme­ diately and every available physician in Pueblo dispatched to the scene. The wreck undoubtedly was due to a cloudburst For hours Sunday eve­ ning tho country north of Pueblo was swept by the heaviest rain storm that has been experienced in this virinlty for a score of years. Small streams were swollen ’into raging torrents, bridges swept away, and the roadbed of the railway washed and weakened in aplte of the heavy stone ballast Magistrate Fails to Designate Term of Imprisonment, Leaving White Farmer In Peculiar Position. Fhlladelphia, Pa.. Aug. 8.—For an­ noying the worshipers at a negro camp meeting William Norcross, a prosper­ ous Camden county farmer, was com­ mitted to'Jail for life.

The Need of a Fund to Secure Factories. The absolute necessity of having a fund of several thousand dollars in thc treasury in order to take advantage of the opportunities of securing factories for our city is evidenced by the experi­ ence which Secretary Brown of the board of trade is having. He has ap­ plications nt the present time from two concerns which would like to locate; here if satisfactory inducements can be offered them. One is a shoe factory, employing not less than fifty hands, the other is an iron manufacturing concern whose specialty is iron culverts for street crossings. There is no doubt, that if the hoard of trade hud a considerable fund on hand and immediately available factor­ ies of great value to Hastings could be secured. But without such a fund it will be difficult to accomplish tangible results. There can be no more con­ vincing arguments than these applica­ tions in favor of the proposition to raise a fund by means of a general contribu­ tion or tax, to be used in securing J manufacturing institutions. A board of trade can accomplish nothing unless the taxpayers stand back of it, but if they will do this the result will un­ doubtedly be highly conducive to tbe general prosperity of this city.

Craw­ ford of Norwalk, Ohio, which wm sol­ emnized at ten o’clock Tuesday morn­ ing in Emmanuel church, the Rev. -Charles S. Avea of Galveston, Texas, officiating. The altar and chancel of the pretty church were handsomely decorated with palms, ferns and sweet -peaa. Mies Minnie Matthews preaided most acceptably at the organ, playing the march from “Taubouter” while the many friends of the bride were be­ ing ushered to their seats by Mr. A. A. Anderson and Mr. Louis J. Goodyear. Tbe appearance of the clergyman within the sanctuary and the change from Wagner’s music to the soft strains of Mendelssohn’s beautiful wedding march, announced tbe entrance of the bride elect, who, preceded by Miss Fay Brown bearing the wedding ring, un­ attended walking “with stately steps and slow” up the long aisle. She was , gowned in very handsome pale gray chiffon silk, trimmed with point applique lace. The groom approach­ ing from the sacristy,, met her at the chancel steps, and together they approached the chancel rail, where the always Impressive service of the Epis­ copal church was most reverently read by the officiating Priest of God—the responses being given reverently aud audibly, The benediction pronounced, the couple walked down the aisle “man and wife,” the bride with happy face bowing her “good byes” to long time friends, who while rejoicing at her happiness, will miss her from the social •circle of which she has been an ever -welcome member. Good wishes attend her! • A wedding breakfast at the home of tbe bride's sister, Mrs. Drake, followed the nuptials. Only the bridal party and immediate family were present. The dining room was beautiful with ferns and pink and white sweet peas. Guests from away were Mrs. Green, Mrs. Frank B. Silcox and son, Lisle, from Attica, Ohio.

These courses have just been revised and modified In such a way as to make them conform as nearly as possible to the latest requirements for admission to to the University of Michigan. At the same time the fact has been kept In mind that a considerable proportion of pupils will find in the high school final preparation for tbe active duties of life, and the needs of such students have been carefully considered. The first three of these courses admit to the uni­ versity without examination. A county normal training class will be organized, under the provisions of the law of 1903 for the purpose of fur­ nishing a one year’s course for teach­ er* of rural schools. This department will be under the instruction of Miss Harriet L. Peckham, a graduate of tbe university and teacher of experience in normal work. For information con­ cerning the qualifications for admission to this department, which is entirely distinct from the regular high school, application should be mode to county commissioner Ketcham or to the super­ intendent of city schools.

Struck By Lightning. During the severe electrical storm Monday evening lightning struck the large farm barn of R. I. Hendershott in the northern part of the city and it together with the contents were de­ stroyed. The barn was an unusually good structure of its kind, having a good stone basement and being built of the best material throughout. It was about 44x64 feet in size and was only six years old. It was filled with hay, oats and farm articles. There were about 50 tons of. hay and 1500 bushels of oats. Being located on high ground and filled with inflammable material it made a big blaze which lighted up the country for miles around. The depart* ment got out promptly but owing to the difficulty in getting a line of hose laid for a very long distance were very much handicapped. They did good work, however, in saving several out­ buildings. One calfand some chickens were cremated. The value of the build­ ing and contents is estimated by Mr. Hendershott at 93,500 or more. The building was insured in the Barry & Eaton Farmers’ Mutual for 81,000 and the contents for 8800. Sunday Trains.

THE MACHINE DID ITS WORK REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVEN­ TION RATIFIES THE SLATE. Only a Few CUeer for Roosevelt and (Not One for Warner When They Were Mentioned. of the cut and dried prognun going through without opposition. George Coleman, the present county treasurer, was nominated by Rev. H. H. Van­ Auken and the secretary was Instruct­ ed to cast a unanimous vote for him. Kellar Stem of the fourth ward pre­ sented Lee Pryor for prosecuting attor­ ney and Rev. VanAuken seconded the nomination. After Mr. Pryor was nominated in the same way as Mr. Coleman, he was called to the front and given the only genuinely hearty applause of the convention. The young man made a graceful little speech of acknowledgement, promising to carry on a clean campaign. Dr. D. C. Buckner of Orangeville and Dr. E. H. Lathrop of Hastings were nominated for coroners, and Walter Heath of Prairieville was nominated for county surveyor. The present circuit court commis­ sioners, Donald McLeay and Janies M. Smith, were again placed in nomina­ tion, after which resolutions were passed and the convention adjourned. This completed the slate, after which Rev. H. H. VanAuken read the resolu­ tions which of course were adopted and the convention adjourned. The resolutions endorsed the nation­ al platform and ticket, congratulated the republicans of Michigan on the nomination of Fred W. Warner, prom­ ised to be economical in administering the county offices, and adopted the fol­ lowing colorless plank on primary re­ form. “Realizing that the dominant Issue in the coming state campaign will be the question of Primary Reform we hereby instruct the representative in the state legislature to work and vote for the best possible primary election bill that shall be presented.” Tuesday being a beautiful day and the nominations for county offices on the republican ticket a drawing card: there was a big outpouring of the re­ publican politicians to the county seat. From early in the morning until eleven o’clock the office seekers and the dele­ gates were in evidence on the street corners, pulling wires and trying to work combines to “bust” the machine. It was well understood that, the repub­ lican powers hud got everything fixed up for the county and legislative nom­ inations, but there was being manifest­ ed on the part of some of the delegates a disposition to kick over the traces. This feeling manifested itself very strongly in the case of two or three of the offices when it came to a vote. The convention was called to order in the council roota ut eleven o'clock by County Chairman Ketcham. Sena­ tor Glasgow was made temporary chair­ man add C. II. Osborn secretary. The usual committees were chosen, after which the convention adjourned till 1:30 p. m. On reassembling in the af­ ternoon there was a large crowd to see the machine do Its work, or get smashed in tho operation. But, with some dis­ cordant creakings at times, it ground out its work as laid out by its masters. The temporary officers were made permanent and the reports of the com­ mittees went through without a hitch. Pomona Grange Meeting.

A ball game between Dowling and Delton at 4:30 furnished entertainment for a large crowd? The Delton boys won by a score of 16 to 12. Medal Contest. The medal contest held by the Lacey W. C. T. U. Tuesday evening was greeted by a full house, everything conspired for the educational uplifting of the good cause. The contestants did themselves proud. Seven speakers competed for the medal, each one a prize winner, which made the contest a close one. Miss Kate Courtright of Lacey car­ ried off the honors of the class; the re­ maining six bsing ready to compete again In two weeks. Rev. Feather assisted in devotions, and the music both instrumental and vocal was finely executed. A recita­ tion by Master Maurice Healey evoked considerable well deserved comment. One Who Was There. Beautiful Function at Gun Lake. For the third time since “Dwight Villa” was built on Gun Lake by Mr. Austin Dwight of Chicago, the beauti­ ful home has been opened to guests from all the cottages around the shores of the lake. This year a harvest ball was given. The dock and grounds were brilliantly lighted by many color­ ed lanterns, while within the rooms were decorated in true harvest manner. Festoons of apples hung above the broad staircase which was wound to the top with asparagus. Bunches of oats intertwined with feathery grasses were tied around the chandeliers and the large columns at one end of the room and also over each of the doors. The ingle nook and grate were filled with imitation sheaves of wheat. In the dining room a huge bouquet of marigolds, held in a vase of silver and cut glass formed the central decoration on the table which was covered with a most exquisitely embroidered lunch cloth. Delicious refreshments were served during the latter part of the evening and at a late hour the guests departed with- many thanks to the cor­ dial host and hostess for another pleas­ ant evening in their home. Those present from our city were the guests at the Hendershott, Colgrove, Grant and Messer cottages. MONEY NOT TURNED OVER. It is charged by the prosecution that Ludwick and tbe other men In the scheme never turned in a dollar toward the construction and equipment of a new plant; that they pocketed the re­ ceipts of the sale, and that the company Itself never knew of the transactions. Mrs. McMillan was one of the women who purchased stock of Ludwick at 850 per share. She earns a living by mak­ ing infants’ wardrobes, and told Lud­ wick, she states, that she could ill-afford to invest her savings in a project that was not certain to bring her good results. She states that Ludwick told her in unmistakable terms that her money would be as safe as if she had deposited it in a bank, as it was to be used solely for the construction and equipment of a new plant. She then paid him the 81,000 in cash. Later, hearing that the company was on its last legs, she sought to recover her money, but, she states, was ignored by Ludwick. She asserts that he told her that the concern was a failure, and that she might as well say good-bye to her cash. She now charges him with having obtained the money under false pretenses. LANDLORD NELENBACKER I BITTER. Henry W. Melenbacker, landlord of the Clarendon hotel, had purchased 81,500 worth of stock from Ludwick, and hearing of Mrs. McMillan’s plight later began capias proceedings against him. However, when Undersberiff Verkerke sought Ludwick for the pur­ pose of serving the required notice, he had fled tbe city. Other suits of a sim­ ilar character were started, but Lud­ wick remained a missing quantity. Then Sheriff Chapman and Deputy Sheriffs Gates and Thomas C. Johnson began a systematic search for Ludwick. He was traced to southern Arkansas; but left for Missouri before officers could apprehend him. He was located in Missouri and officers there were wired to arrest him, but in some man­ ner he learned that they were closely seeking him, and he went to Ottumwa, Iowa. Several days ago tbe sheriff's officers were rewarded with a telegram that Ludwick was working in Ottumwa and had associated himself with a bus­ iness firm there. Last Thursday Depu­ ty Sheriff Gates left for Ottumwa and landed his man yesterday morning. . OTHER COMPLAINTS WILL BE MADE. The prosecuting attorney stated yes­ terday noon that there are at least a score of Grand Rapids people who will institute proceedings of prosecution at once. Some of the school teachers who Eurebased stock of Ludwick paid as igh as 875 a share and invested from 8150 to as high as 8600 each. Not one of the teachers has been able to recover a cent, it is stated. However, two of the men who sold the stock have settled with two of tbe male purchasers, it is claimed. Frank E. Barnes, an old resident of Hastings, died of consumption at the home cf Myron H. Maynard on south Jefferson street last Friday afternoon, aged 46 years, 8 months and 25 days.

It means that during the three months to come Judge Parker will grow from a'humble lawgiver living in compara­ tive obscurity to a figure of monument­ al proportions in tbe life of the nation: it means that the democratic parly has found a candidate who. by proving his powers of obedience io the laws, the customs and the traditions of the nation has won the right of leadership—that Senator Platt’s prediction has been realized—“the democratic party is sane and dangerous.’’—Detroit Free Press.

An old tradition says the Aztecs were one of seven powerful tribes that emerged from seven caverns In a re­ gion called Aztiiin, or place of tbe heron. They wandered awny from their fellows after a great confusion of tongues and settled In the region they are known to have Inhabited. This tradition may be partly fabulous, but It is sure that the Aztecs settled the country before the eleventh or twelfth century. All the tribes lived In peace for a consIdem hie time until the strong be­ gan to encroach upon the territory of the weaker. Then a fierce war for su­ premacy over the whole territory en­ sued and lusted many years. Under the leadership of their military chiefs the Aztecs obtained control of the whole territory and established a very enlightened form of government. This was consummated In 1324 or 1325.

Justice David J. Brewer, of the Unit­ ed States supreme court, in an article Contributed by him to the New York Independent, advances the proposition that a judge should never accept polit­ ical office. “I know there have been conspicuous instances in the past.” says Judge Brewer. ”ond may be in the future, in which the selection of a judge for political life was wise, justified by the character und fitness of the man, but as a general rule one accepting judicial office should be impressed by the conviction that thereby his politi­ cal life is ended and that the possibility of distinction and success lies wholly in his devotion to judicial service and lhe character of the work he does therein.” This opinion of so learned a jurist will -be promptly seized upon by the republican leaders who are at a loss for arguments’ against Judge Parker's fitness for the presidency, as a good point against him. The democratic candidate has done the very thing which Justice Brewer condemns. He has left the judicial bench in order to enter political life, although in doing bo he has undoubtedly sacrificed his tastes and inclinations to a higher duty. Judge Brewer's position may perhaps be accepted os sound to a certain ex­ tent. Men who enter the judicial ser­ vice will, generally speaking, best serve their time and generation by re­ maining in that service all their lives. They certainly cannot be good judges and at the same time seekers of politi­ cal power. But the good sense of the American people can be trusted to re­ frain from impairing our judiciary by going to the bench for political candi­ dates. and the inclinations of our judges to remain in judicial life i*ather than take up politics will reinforce such public sentiment. But it ought not to be made an in­ variable rule that no judge should un­ der any conditions be permitted to lay aside his robes for the more strenuous life of a co-ordinate branch of the pub­ lic service. It would be too sweeping a thing to say that the American peo­ ple could not if they so wished take a man from one form of public service and place him In another. Moreover in the ease of a man like Judge Parker there is no just ground for criticism. For in the first place he has been exceedingly careful not to lower the dignity of tbe judicial office or bring reproach upon it, by refusing to express any political views until he has severed all connection ’with the bench. And in the second place he has simply bowed to the demand of the country for a leader who should be the very antithesis of President RoosevelL In other words, the country needs at the present time a man of judicial tem­ perament and a high ideal of constitu­ tional government. Judge Parker is just the man that the people need in the White house and it certainly would be unfortunate if there were anything in our institu­ tions that would preclude him from laying aside one form of public service for the purpose of taking up a vastly more important work for his country. * V ft si ■ n *1 I [l Ji The Trust Magnates’ Plan. I \ i i they have any personal liking for him. but because they are afraid of the dem­ ocratic party. And so these multi-millionaire mssters of combined capital are going to place a great corporation lawyer, Ellhu Root, at the head of the republi­ can ticket in New York because they think that he can be elected governor in 1904 and president in 1908. If their plans can be carried out they will be safe from interference through tariff changes. For they have excellent rea­ son for believing that the tariff will not be reduced as long as the republican party Is In power. It will be remembered in this con­ nection that Mr. Root recently re­ signed the war portfolio in President Roosevelt's cabinet because he was tired of office and wanted to return to his profession. It would seem there­ fore that the ex-secretary could not consistently accept a political nomina­ tion at the present time. But the gov­ ernorship of New York is likely to be a stepping stone to the presidency, and even Mr. Root will hardly be proof against such a temptation. It seems to be pretty well settled that Elihu Root is to be made the re­ publican candidate for governor of New York. The Rockefeller and Mor­ gan interests are reported to have made arrangements to this effect, and although Mr. Root has been strenuously declining to be considered a candidate for the office, he is expected to yield to such overwhelming pressure as the great trust magnates will be able to exert. Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Morgan are not partisans. Politics with these dis­ tinguished “Napoleons of finance” is simply a matter of business. If they thought the election of Parker would further their financial interests they would be democrats. But they do not think so. The republican party has al­ ways been the party of protection anti protection is the “mother of trusts.” Hence they are going to do what they can to elect Mr. Roosevelt, not because Candidate Ferris’ announcement that he will devote his attention in the coming campaign almost exclusively to state Issues will be received with satis­ faction by the friends of primary re­ form. The situation in this state is peculiar. There is no doubt that the state will give Its electoral vote to the republi­ can presidential nominees. At the same time there are thousands of re­ publicans who are so disgusted with the machine that is running state pol­ itics that they are ready and even eager to defeat the republican state ticket. They are ready to vote for Roosevelt and bolt Warner, and all they needed to determine their action was a man on tbe democratic ticket who would stand firmly for primary re­ form, with the courage to enforce his convictions if elected to the executive office. They have such a man in Wood­ bridge N. Ferris Neither Justus S. Stearns nor any other man in the state would have embodied their ideal so well as he. If they could have sup­ ported the Ludington millionaire they can much more satisfactorily support the Big Rapids ‘educator. They can vote for Roosevelt if they feel that to be their dnty, but they can also vote for Professor Ferris. Under such conditions tbe mission which Candidate Ferris has had com­ mitted to him is perfectly clear. It is to make a vigorous fight for primary reform and the other purely stale Issues that are contained in the Grand Rapids platform. He is a forceful, log­ ical and convincing speaker. If he stumps the state, making bis appeal to the honest men of all parties to rally to the standard of good government, he will make such a campaign as will smash the machine and bring to tbe people the reforms which they are strenously demanding. And he will do this in spite of tbe fact that this is a presidential year. However absurd it may seem the birth of a son and heir to the czar may have au important bearing on tbe out­ come of the war. As Is well known, the Russian royal family and the loyal subjects of the czar were very anxious for an heir to the throne and now that their prayers have been answered, the whole Russian people are rejoicing. It will nob be strange if new hope and fresh zeal are Infused into the prosecu­ tion ot the war with Japan as a result of an event which the intensely re­ ligious and superstitious people of Russia will interpret as an omen of di­ vine approval- The Russians may in consequence hold out longer against the Japanese although the latter seem sure to win sooner or later.

Sir Harry Johnston, the English ex­ plorer. once traveled on a ship with a pet ape. It was a great favorite with all the passengers until there camo aboard at Madeira a lady with an In­ fant. The latter received a good deal of attention and the ape In conse­ quence became neglected and jealous. Sir Harry Johnston followed It on deck one day just in time to prevent a trag­ edy.

OUR CHIEF DANGER COMES FROM TRUSTING TO THE WORK OF REASON IN PLACES WHERE WE ARE IMPERFECTLY PREPARED FOR ITS OPERATION. Most of us arc so constituted and trained that the relaxation of discipline will not leave us at the mercy of blind passion, but it may leave us at the mercy of an almost equally blind spirit of SELFISH CALCULATION. ’ Tho whole course of events in recent years has been such as to . lay men open to this temptation. The attempt to make human selfishness THE FUNDAMENTAL STANDARD OF RIGHT CONDUCT is as disastrous as the attempt to make our unchecked animal instincts the standards of right conduct. ALMOST EVERY EVIL—POLITICAL, SOCIAL OR COMMERCIAL— WHICH CONSTITUTES A SERIOUS MENACE TO THE PERMANENT PROSPERITY OF OUR COUNTRY CAN BE TRACED DIRECTLY TO OUR TOLERANT ACCEPTANCE OF SELFISHNESS AS A BASIS OF MORALITY. ___________ _ When you want auction bills, visit the Hastings Herald.

Lace Curtains The ball game between the Sam Folz Dine of Kalamazoo and our local club came to a rs’her peculiar end last Fri­ day afternooon. There was a misunder­ standing over the money. The ar­ rangements for the game were made by telephone. Our boys made the usual agreement to guarantee the visitors* railroad fare and hotel bill, or to give them the option of taking half the gate receipts and paying their own bills. Everything was supposed to be satis­ factory until Manager Bell proceeded to settle with them after tbe game had begun. Then it appears that the man­ ager of the Kazoos kicked because, after being paid their expenses, they were not given half of the balance. So, instead of letting the game proceed to an end, which would have been not only a matter of courtesy but of justice to the spectators who had paid their money in good faith, he called his men from the field. The score at the end of the fifth inning stood 7 to 4 in favor of the visitors. Those who listened to Kiyo Sue Inul at the Presbyterian church last Thurs­ day night went away from the lecture impressed very strongly with the moral strength of Japan’s cause against Rus­ sia.

Moreover he possesses oratorical powers of high order, ,and although somewhat handi­ capped by a strong foreign accent, hls language is polished and bis words apt­ ly chosen. Without bitterness towards Russia or any attempt at special plead­ ing for his own country he made it plain that Japan’s cause is that of pro­ gress and civilization. The conflict is between absolutism and patriotism. Japan, he declared, Is fighting for tbe civilization of China, tbe emancipation of Manchuria, the integrity of Korea and the preservation of her own exist­ ence; for the open door tn the orient and the interests of modern commerce.

Still today, as for many foregoing days. Harold wns on one side of the track, Alice on tbe other. It was now 3 o’clock. Several races had been dispatched, and the next upon the programme was of intense local in­ terest. It was a contest $p which were enteral two horses which had long been keen rivals, whose owners had agreed to^make this match a decisive teat. ' Tbe fever df speculation was waxing more and more turbulent in tbe crowd. Harold himself hod no idea of wager­ ing. He had been brought up to be­ lieve that betting was wrong. Besides, be could not afford to bet, and it was hls theory that usually the winners are those persons who do not vitally care. However, everybody around him was betting. Everybody was talking horse. Everybody was telling of prospective gains. Bentcrlngs. gay assertions, play­ ful threats, flew thick ami fust. Men were coming nnd going, bearing reports of doings in the betting ring, for, de­ spite tbe pretended efforts on the part of the meet officials, underneath the amphitheater pools were selling at u lively rate. Harold felt himself alone inert. He was pervaded by vague discontent. Everybody was winning; nobody was losing, except the |kk>1 sellers, nnd they were legitimate spoil.

The Paramount State Issue. f The people of Michigan have an im■portant political issue to settle this fall 'that bears very little relation to ns­ . tional affairs. It is the issue between government by tbe people and governL ment by the machine. A coterie of g). politicians controlling the organization of the dominant party have set thepeopie at defiance. The people demand a primary election law giving them the power to nominate their own candi­ dates. This demand has been pressed for four years. Twice the bosses who run the machine have pledged the re­ publican party to give the people the reform that is asked for and twice the bosses have prevented the legislature from fulfilling this promise. And now for a third time the ma­ chine that controls state polities has • put up a estate ticket, with an open ’1 and avowed machine politician at its head, and with a perfunctory promise of a half measure of reform which no one can place any confidence in the machine proposes to force this ticket down the throats of tbe republican voters and make them take their medl* elne. Are the republican voters of Michi­ gan going to take the nauseating dose prepared for them by the bosses? That is tbe great issue in thia state and it has nothing to do with national politics whatever. When the people are almost unanimously demanding a . primary election law that shall apply to all nominations, shall the bosses of tbe party be allowed to Ignore the de­ mand and with the insolence of a fancied security in their position, , place an open enemy of primary re­ form at the head of the ticket and com­ pel the people to elect him? That is tbe issue in Michigan. - In such an issue, when tbe self re­ spect of the honest electorate is at stake, when the people are brazenly told (that they can’t have what they want, and are not intelligent enough to know what is good for them, it is time for tbe people to wake up and teach presumptuous bosses a tremend­ ous lesson. And there are indications that the friends of good government in the republican party are waking up. There are signs of rebellion against the ring on all sides and honest, thoughtful citizens who belong to the republican party are becoming convinced that they cannot show their loyalty to their party any better than by voting against the machine that is prostituting the party to its own ig­ noble purpose. The paramount state issue then Is machinlsm versus the people. Fortun­ ately tbe minority party of the state, with Woodbridge N. Ferris as its lead­ er, furnishes the means of fighting the issue successfully for the people. With undoubted sincerity, with a broad-minded loyalty to the principles of good government, with unquestion­ ed earnestness and ability, Mr. Ferris has taken up this issue in behalf of the people of all political affiliations, and calls upon them to rally to his support. If this is a correct representation of the situation ’n Michigan, is there any possible reason why good republicacs can not meet this strictly local issue, by separating it absolutely from na­ tional politics and voting for Ferris and reform at the same time that they vote for their party candidates on the national and congressional tickets? It should be distinctly borne in mind that this paramount state issue does not in­ volve tbe principles that distinguish the two great parties. It is a question ; I Foolish Charges Against Judge Parker. The desperate attempts of the repub­ lican organs to find something to say against the democratic presidential candidate is truly pathetic. The worst thing they can think of is that he was not sincere when he sent that now fa­ mous telegram to the national conven­ tion. It was a trick, they sagely re­ mark, to keep in line with Wall street. He wai .ed until it was too late for the convention to retrace its course, they charge, and then played a sharp trick by pronouncing himself to be in sym­ pathy with Wall street. Of course Judge Parker’s telegram could not have been the result of a highly honor­ able motive to stand In an honest light before the country. The quiet scholarly jurist whose whole life has been passed in upholding the dignity of law and the duty of good citizenship must have sud­ denly formed a deadly conspiracy with the minions of Wall street, that dread­ fully wicked spot, to play a trick upon the party that nominated him. Of course all these attempts of the republican organs to belittle Judge Parker's act are inspired only by a de­ sire to break tbe force of it. The countrj/ at once understood the real no­ bility of character which the telegram revealed and no amount of captious and ungenerous criticism on the part of the political opponents of Judge Park­ er can change its first estimate of bis manly course. Then again it is being charred, with a hypocritical tone of reproach, that Judge Parker Is under the control of Wall street. There is a good deal of demagogic cunning in thia charge. Wall street, in the eyes of many people is the very embodiment of everything bad. Because it is the scene of oper­ ations of some of the great trust mag­ nates like Morgan, and Rockefeller and Hill, and because many unwary and unsophisticated people have been fleeeced by the speculators of Wall street there seems to be a sort of Im­ pression that no good thing can come out of that thoroughfare of the metrop­ olis. It were better for a candidate to have bad his right hand smote off than ever to have set his foot in Wall street. And yet every well informed person knows that this dreadful street of Go­ tham has Its good side as well as its bad, and that not every great financier that has his headquarters there is a deepdyed villiao, an acquaintance with whom is fatal to a good reputation. And ao it is just possible that if Judge Parker has some friends in Wall street he may yet be a very exemplary man. Certainly, the republican organs will have to admit that Theodore Roosevelt has friends in Wall street, J. Pierpont Morgan, for instance, and these organs would not admit that Theodore Roosevelt is unfit to be presi­ dent because some Wail street men are supporting him. Then why do they try to exorcise this bogie man to hurt tbe democratic candidate. The animus of their criticism is too transparent to de­ ceive anyone. The fact is the repub­ lican press have been unable to discov­ er any real flaws in the character or the record of Judge Parker and ao they are having recourse to childish, silly and futile charges that are an insult to the intelligence of the American people.^ democrats. There are shnplv demo­ crats, united and harmonious In a fed­ eral contest that powerfully appeals to tbe reason and the conscience of the country. The World might have said further that the fact that such silver leaders as Bryan are likewise supporting Parker and Davis is equally as strong evidence that the old democratic party is again harmonious and united against the common enemy. 1 £ Special Sale The Difference. “We favor the enactment of a gene­ ral primary election law to apply to all village, city, township, county and state offices.”—Barry County Demo­ cratic Platform. “We hereby instruct the representa­ tive in the state legislature to work and vote for the best possible primary election bill that shall be presented.” —Barry County Republican Platform. There you have tbe difference in a nutshell between the attitude of the two parties on tbe paramount issue of tbe state campaign. The democratic position is clear and unmistakable^-a general election law to apply to all offices, not a farcical, half way measure, that would defeat the very purpose of the law. The republican pronounce­ ment is vague and unsatisfactory. “The best possible primary election bill that may be presented” may be a very weak and unsatisfactory bill. It Is likely to be a local option measure if indeed, any bill at all is presented. Are the friends of primary reform satisfied with the vague and ambiguous promise of the republican platform—a promise that may mean nothing at all? Or will they indorse the straightfor­ ward declaration of the democratic platform, which means genuine pri­ mary reform, without any dilution to it? And the county platforms are repre­ sentative of the attitudes of their re­ spective parties in the state.

McClure "Do you mind telling me,- I Mid. Poking in open wonder at Alicia’s •Hico gown and rural hat, “what you ■*» wearing that getup for?” “Doean't It seem suitable to a farm»<nwe In the country ?" ebe inquired, with obvious satisfaction in her cos­ tume. "I can‘t see why white lawny stuff, with embroidery and things, tbe kind you usually wear, wouldn't be quite as unostentations,” I said discontent­ edly. Alicia leaned near to me. Really she ought not to put that kissable mouth of here so close to even a mar­ ried man. Then she whispered dra­ matically: “I’m poor. I’ve lost every cent” ' "What!” I cried, aghast Alicia is not fitted for poverty. "Sb! Not truly, you know. I’m making believe. I want to meet a few men and know they are not fortune hunters.” "Humanity Is more decent than you usually suppose it” I said dryly. “There are a few ripping good poor fellows In our own set. untainted by self seeking, though that guardian aunt of yours won't let you believe it” "Well, but here," said Alicia, with such satisfaction that I knew at once some one was on tbe tapis—“here one can be absolutely sure.” “Whom have you met?’ I asked sternly. eo near the bouse that by mutual con­ sent we had seated ourselves on a log for our discussion, "especially ns I have asked Alicia to marry me. and she said she would give me her answer to­ night" "She will give it to you now'.” cried a clear voice, aud Alicia's own hand parted the bushes near us. "Oh, 1 know it's contemptible to listen, but when your whole happiness depends on It"— A little sob choked her sentence. We both sprang up and stood staring at her—Roberts with a yearning in­ tentness of gaze. I hopefully. “I certainly trust,” he said slowly, taking off bls hat and standing hare­ headed in the sunset rays, “that noth­ ing I have done. Miss"— “Miss Van Anderson henceforth." she said significantly and scornfully. "That nothing I have done. Miss Van Anderson"— “Is it nothing.” cried the girl, ‘ to find that you have been deceiving me all along; that you wanted the heiress, hot me? If only you had come to me and said, ‘Alicia, I know about your wretched money, but I mean to marry you in spite of it,’ then I would have respected you. But you preferred to have me think you took me for a sim­ ple country girl." To my intense surprise Roberts cool­ ly and audaciously caught both her hands in his, fixing a magnetic gazo full on her face. "Alicia." he said slowly, “God pity you. AU your life you have proved how suspicion is born ot wealth. That horrible taint, suspicion, blackens your whole world. And yet, God pity me, too, I can understand how your soul has been soiled by thin. I can pity, for­ give and love you.” “fjove me!” cried the girl. "Why weren't you honest? You lived a lie with me!" “Was my pose much worse than yours?" said her lover coolly. "I am Robert Castleton, and my fortune, dear child. Is double all you can count" We both cried out In amazement. Loosing Alicia, he drew out from an Inner pocket a locket set round with rubles and, pressing the spring, showed us nn exquisite face, which 1 recog­ nized at once. “My mother,” he said simply. “And here are letters, and of course I can offer you all the proofs you want by telegraph or"— “But how on earth"— I stammered. “To be frank,” said Robert Cajtleton composedly, “I was sick of being hunt­ ed down by designing women who wanted me for their ugly daughters or for themselves. If I hadn’t seen Alicia once at the opera she wou|d have de­ ceived me as completely ns I did her." His simple, straightforward manner, the casting off of every shred of the rustic as he talked, convinced me whol­ ly. I burst into a fit of ringing laugh­ “No one," said Alicia obstinately. But the next moment she blushed rosi­ ly as a tall, sun browned young man came slowly up the wide steps of the piazza. A red handkerchief knotted around bls columnar thf€at and a wide hat set slightly a-tilt gave a pictur­ esque finish to him. I am bound to admit he looked attractive. “Mr. Roberts," said Alicia, “I want to have you meet my friend, Mr. Ham­ lin Johnson. His wife comes 6ut to board here next week." “You are down to have a look at the lay of our country?" suggested Rob­ erts, holding out a strong tanned hand and nearly smashing mine In it As he spoke Alicia vanished. She re­ turned immediately with a huge pan of green peas and, seating herself on the step, began shelling them as Industri­ ously as though her future depended on it Roberts promptly joined her, while I discontentedly dropped into Alicia’s hammock. Alicia was too ut­ terly unlike her bored and enuuied ter. “Lord, tills is good." I choked—“you self.

How could there be? What do you mean anyway?” The guilty look on his face gave me a sudden insight into the matter. Alas, poor Alicia! This innocent rustic lov­ er belonged to the very class of men she most abhorred. He knew who she was. and he had deliberately let her play her poor little play before him. “You know who Miss Alicia Gordon Is?” “Yes. I do,” be answered doggedly. “She is Alicia Van Anderson, the heir­ ess and society woman.” “And knowing tills ns you do." I said, bursting with natural indigna­ tion, “you dare to let yourself make love to her. to let her believe you hon­ est”— “I hold myself honest.” he returned quietly. “A man cannot be considered hon­ est,” I said sternly, “who courts a wo­ man under false pretenses. You are letting Miss Van Anderson think that you love her for herself alone.” “And you would argue that I love ber for her money!” he said in a tone of bitter sarcasm. "It looks that way," I retorted an­ grily. “I mean to let her know the whole truth unless you have good sense and manhood enough to quietly withdraw. You don't want that ugly name ‘fortune hunter’ applied to you. do you?” „ . . “No. I don’t want that applied to me," said Roberts, punching holes in the moss with his rod, for we bad got morning.” He lifted bis straw bat again, bowed profoundly and was gone. It only remains to add that the young man, who was the only son of rich parents and could well afford tbe sum out of his allowance, was as good as bls word. A Collar of Brawn. According to Dr. Johnson, brawn is of uncertain etymology and Is a term used for the "fleshy or musculous parts" of a lx>ar from two to five years old. This semitransparent substance, ’ called sometimes lantern from its sim­ ilarity to horn, is n natural shield which protects the sides of tbe boar end Its vital parts from the tusks of Hi adversary. In brawn making this is placed round the inside of a mold and filled in with prepared meat. After boiling for many hours it is turned out as a “col­ ’ lar of brawn." In Chaucer’s "Tales” the “begging frere” says. “Give us of your brawn, if ye have any,” and we read in old rec­ ords of “brawne royall” for the king's table at coronation feasts. At the rev­ els of the inns of courts it was a breakfast dish at Christmas, and it still holds its own as an accepted dainty Dr. King, the satirist, about 1750 in­ troduces in bls "Art of Cookery” a cel­ ' ebrated cook named Brawn ns if to im­ ply .some connection between the man and the meat.—London Home Notes.

Soon after, my fiance, George Marsh, took me to see him play. St. Cyr took the part of a civil engi­ neer upon whose management rested n great enterprise. The thoughtful ex­ pression of Ills face, his noble brow, bis massive bead, were all well fitted to the part. He was not only "star” In name, but In reality. The whole play hung upon him. I sighed when I left the theater. Cyril St. Cyr nnd George Marsh—there was as much difference In the men as In the names. George was a good fel­ low, bad been graduated with honors pt college and was a gentleman, but he v. as not Cyril St. Cyr. Within two weeks I bad seen St. Cyr piny three times. While George's pho­ tograph, prettily framed, decorated my dressing case St Cyr's was in my handkerchief case, where no eye but mine ever saw It and from which I tcok It many times during the ilny and every night before going to bed to gaze on it rapturously. Week after week Cyril St. Cyr grew more splendid; week after week George Marsh more com­ monplace. It was plain to me thnt.I had made a mistake. I was of an artistic temperament, nnd George was a busi­ ness man. With me the world was art, not business; with George it was busi­ ness, not art, and when he claimed that the t^vo were Incompatible I men­ tioned St Cyr and tbe money he coined every night Ono evening my dream received a shock. At dinner several people were discussing the great actor. “Everything about him.” said a lady, “is artistic, even to his name.” “His name?" said one of the men. “St Cyr isn't his name. He's Thomas Brann gan Murphy.” I gave a gasp and looked for some one to refute the statement as a base allegation, but no one seemed to think there was anything Improbable or un­ usual In it. When I looked at xny treasure that night I put it back into my handkerchief case disappointed. There were tbe same noble expression, lofty brow and massive head, but somehow they did not fit Thomas Brnnagan Murphy. CHURCH AND CLERGY.

That is the statement of a woman who had never been well until she was made well by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. There are a great many other women in like case. They have always been sufferers from disease. They hare never known the joy of perfect health. For all such women Dr. Pierce's Fa­ vorite Prescription holds out the pros­ pect of perfect and permanent health, by the cure of the womanly diseases which weaken women. It establishes regular­ ity, dries weakening drains, heals inflam­ mation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. "It gives me pleaaute to let von know of the crent l>cnefit received from Dr. Pierce'* medi­ cine* nnd the ndrice which you no kindly sent," writes Mrs. Ifertie Parker, of Ilonham. Fannin Co., Texn».

I've had a propoLlng acquaintance with most of the girls nt Hinkley Height®, and the fair Alice didn't escape.

I'm telling you ot the cinch you’ve got with Alice as a reward for tho good turn you've done me. Alice is a poach, but she hangs too high on tho tree for any but the very best, and I think you're it. Youra truly. HENRY HARDY. Also Mark Browning, otherwise Jack Finley, alios Little Freddie; known to Mr. Tennessee as Cbummle Charlie. “I didn't know you had a sister, Armrtrong.” “I haven't This is my stepmother’s adopted child. I haven't seen her for tour years. She was a pretty little iblng then, about fifteen. When my lather and bls wife went abroad two years ago they placed the child in a boarding school.” "I see she uses the name of Arm­ strong.” “Oddly enough, that is her own name. My father’s wife was a Mrs. Dana. In adopting Alice she did not change the child’s name, and when ihe met and married my father she de­ clared that Alice's name was prophetic of what was to come. I must go, Brainerd. I've barely time to reach the station.” . In the crowd at the terminal he found himself shoulder to shoulder with Bob Tennessee, the detective. “Hello, Dave! Going away?" “No. Expect my sister on this 232. Got a case here. Bob?" “Yes. A young fellow from Blank­ ton—bank messenger—got fifty thou­ sand on him In cash and another fifty In negotiable bonds." The 232 came slowly to a standstill, and the passengers streamed out Armstrong had not long to wait A trim, stylish figure in gray, with skirts of ankle length, and two heavy braids af yellow hair tied In several places, schoolgirl fashion, with big black bows, rushed up to him, exclaiming, “Davie, Davie! Don’t vou know me, Davie?” putting up a pretty red mouth to be kissed. Annstrong was surprised, but ho wasn’t at all “slow,” and as be walked away with his pretty sister he decided that Alice had improved. “Don’t wait Davie,” pleaded Alice. “I’m in an awful hurry." “Just a minute, child. Bob wants to “Fooled some way, Dave’’— “Got off somewhere else perhaps." “No; the 232 is express from Blank­ ton.” “Mr. Tennessee, Alice; my sister. MIm Armstrong, Bob." Alice did not offer her band nor raise her eyes to Bob's face as she murmured a faint acknowledgment “Will you take a carriage, Davie, please? I am going to the'Cnnard line pier. The Boxonla leaves at 330, and I have engaged a stateroom.” “You are not going alone, AllceF “Oh, yes; mamma sent for me. She Is to meet me at Queenstown." Armstrong, watching her bright face, thinking It very charming, ex­ claimed suddenly, “Alice, what have you done to your eyebrows?’ He was shocked at the quick paling of tbs girl’s face. "Oh, don’t scold me, Davie," she pleaded. “I—I bad them darkened; they are so much more becoming”— “Not with your light hair,” said Annstrong shortly. “They don’t look natural. Wash that off as soon as you can, child, and don’t do it again." There was silence in the carriage during the rest of the drive. Alice sobbed softly behind her handkerchief, and Armstrong was ill at ease. Why wasn't be kind to the child in just this little hour they were to be together? Notwithstanding his dim memory of her, she seemed to have remembered him very pleasantly, and she waa cer­ tainly a charmingly affectionate little thing. He put his arm around her and drew her head to his breast “Here you are, sir!” called cabby, opening the door. “Shall I wait?" “Yes. Pm only going to see my sis­ ter comfortably aboard.” ‘ Please wait here, Davie,” said Alice rs 800n as they were on deck. “I’ll be back in just a minute.” She was away before be could an­ swer. He waited patiently until the warning came for “All ashore that’s going ashore.’* A smart looking boy with closely cropped, black hair, wear­ ing a trim uniform of blue, with gold braid on bls cap. rushed up to him. "Your sister was unable to return, Mr. Armstrong, and sent this note. Hurry, sir; they are about to lower the plank.” Seated In the hansom, Mr. Armstrong hastily reviewed the past hour. He was annoyed and greatly dissatisfied. He had disapproved of the elder Arm­ strong’s marriage, but nothing would Induce him to bo other than courteous to his father’s wife or kind to her child. He bad met his stepmother but a few times and was really not at all acquainted with this girl. But she had appealed to him as to a brother in a frankly affectionate way, and he bad been unwarrantably harsh. Why bad be allowed that officious boy to burry him off the steamer In that way? Poor little thing, bow she had trembled as he held her against him In the car­ riage! Bob Tennessee was waiting at Arm­ strong's office. “I'm sour on all the world, Dave,” was his greeting. “To think I should let that little rascal slip through my bands! I can’t see how It was done." Bob groaned. Then be, too, swore forcibly and repeatedly. “I wasn’t prepared for this. The bank people sold It was a trusted employee—been with them over a year.” He rose, still groaning, and reached for his hat. Then he turned sharply to Armstrong. “How is It you didn't know your own sister?" Armstrong explained. Tennessee shook his bead slowly, groaning still more. “Don't let my sister’s name get mix­ ed up with this, Bob.” "I won’t mention her. Where are you going, Dave?’ as Annstrong walk­ ed out with him. “To Hinkley. Heights. I must be able to recognize my sister when I see her hereafter.’’ • But the outcome of his visit to Hink­ ley Heights Is quite another story. A Howie*" Taak. Scottish folk are proverbially canny and prudent in 'money matters, and the following shows that the younger generation is no exception to the rule: A teacher in a lowland school was taking mental arithmetic with a class of boy®.

This naturally leads uh on to the conclusion'that races are more Intimately affected by its charms than Individuals. To take a particular instance, we can but notice that the Germans, who, with few exceptions, are musical to their finger tips, are In consequence notable for habitual cheerfulness and for other moral qualities Which give tone to their domestic life. We may notice, on the other band, that a love of music does not neces­ sarily go with artistic sense or strength of character. The Russians are most musical, but they have not, as a rule, any marked appreciation of art, while the Japanese, whose delicate instinct for art is proverbial, are but little In­ fluenced by music. Nero’s devotion to his Addle and Napoleon’s Indifference to music are also instances that there Is no general rule on this point Sometimes girls know how to keep themselves from being bored even by .a lover.

In the “Complaynt of Scotland,” printed in 1548, we find: "There eftlr 1 entrit in ane grene forest, to contempill the tender yong frutes, beeaus the borial blastls of the three borouing dais of Marche bed cbalsslt fragrant flurelse of evyrle frut-tree far athourt the fleldis.” The origin and meaning of the ex­ pression are obscure. It may probably be founded upon that relapse into win­ try weather which Is often noticed nt the close of March and which seems to snatch a few days from the promise of opening spring.

LAWSON, BKtea MDUm^m St George, the patrou saint of Eng­ land, was born at Lydda, but brought up in Cappadocia. lie was a tribune in the reign of Diocletian nnd, being a man of great courage, was a favorite, but ns he complained to the emperor of his severities toward the Christians and argued in their defense he was put in prison and beheaded April 23, 302. St Jerome mentions him in one ol* bls “Martyrologies,” and in the fol­ lowing century there were many churches named to his honor. In re­ gard to hls connection with England, Ashmole, in hls “History of tbe Order of the Garter," says that King Arthur in tbe sixth century placed the picture of 8t George on hls banners, and Belden tells us he was patron saint of England In the Saxon times. • And It is the quite certain that the council of Oxford in 1222 commanded bls fes­ tival to be observed In England us a holiday of lesser rank, and in 1330 be was adopted as tbe patron of the Or­ der of the Garter. The dragon slain by St George is simply a common al­ legory to express the triumph of the Christian hero over evil, which John tbe Evangelist beheld under the im­ age of tbe dragon. Gibbon, in hls “Decline and Fall” asserts that the patron saint of Eng­ land was George of Cappadocia, the turbulent Arian bishop of Alexandria, but the character of this assertion has been fully disproved by Papebrocb, Milner and others.—Exchange. ARTIST AND ARTISAN. What It la That Meaaaraa the Dif­ ference Between Them. “My son Is going to be an artist" said a proud father. “He does not need to study a lot of scientific rub­ bish.” Perhaps this father does not know that what be calls “scientific rubbish” measures tbe difference between 'the artisan and an artist the difference between tbe common and the superb, between mediocrity and excellence. It was what this man called “scientific rubbish” which made tbe difference between the works of Michael Angelo and those of a hundred other nrjlsts of bis day wbo hate gone into oblivion. It was this “scientific rubbish”—study­ ing anatomy for a dozen years—that gave immortality to the statues of Moses and David and to hls paintings the “Last Judgment” and “The Story of Creation.” Many an artist of real ability has failed to produce any great work of art because of hls ignorance of just such “sdentifld rubbish." Of what good is an artistic temperament or genius to the sculptor who does not know the origin, tbe insertion and the contour of the various muscles, who Is not thoroughly familiar with the human anatomy? Michael Angelo thought it worth while to spend a great deal of time upon tbe anatomy of a horse and upon abstruse mathematics.—Success.

The bridal couple were attended by Miss Belle Rogers and Mr. B. L. Ken­ yon of Freeport, who acted as bride’s maid and best man. The wedding march was played by Miss Jessie Rog­ ers.

ROSE’S NEW HALL Pays High Compliment to Pastor and People and to Citizens of Hastings in General. The Rev. Father J.<A. Connors and his people deserve to be heartily con­ gratulated upon the cmopletion of the beautiful hall connected ■ with St. Rose’s church property which they are now dedicating with a four days’ ba­ zaar. The opening ceremonies Tues­ day night were especially successful and were attended by as large a crowd as fcould comfortably make its way amidst the various booths and attrac­ tions with which the spacious room was furnished. The new building certainly looked very attractive (except when the lights went out) with its handsomely tinted walls, its spacious stage, its pro­ fusion of incanescent lights and its charming booths. Troxel’s orchestra seated on the stage, discoursed pleas­ ing strains of music at Intervals throughout the evening. At eight o'clock Bishop Foley, at­ tended by Father Connors, Father Kennedy and a number of other visit­ ing priests, as well as by several of our representative citizens, entered the hall and made their way to tbe stage. Then followed a brief program of speaking and music. Rev. R. D. Sad­ ler of Battle Creek presided and after a beautiful vocal solo by Miss Butler of Battle Creek, introduced Bishop Foley of Detroit, who made a short but fe­ licitous address. The bishop congrat­ ulated Father Connors and bis congre­ gation upon the success of their enter­ prise and spoke most kindly of the citi­ zens of Hastings for their generosity In assisting in the good work. He spoke of the freedom which all American cit­ izens enjoy above all other people in the world, and emphasized the fact that we live under institutions that protect us in our rights, both civil and religious. He also dwelt briefly but (impressively upon the duties which de­ > volte upon us as citizens. | At the close of Bishop Foley’s ad| dress, which was listened to with deep ; attention and heartily applauded, a voI cal solo by Prof. Ryan of Chicago brought the formalities to a close. Then followed the informal, social features, the viewing of exhibits in the several booths presided over by fair ladies, tbe investment in tickets for the various money making devices and all tbe other concomitants of a church society bazaar. Unfortunately tbe lights went out a little after nine o’clock which Interfered greatly with the latter part of the evening’s enter­ tainment. A larger transformer has been put in, so that there is not likely to be any more trouble with tbe lights. The clergymen who came here to at­ tend the opening were os follows: Rt. Rev. John S. Foley, D. D., Detroit; Revs. H. DeGayso, Anchorvilie; R. D. i Sadler, Battle Creek: C. J. Kennedy, Mt. Clemens; J. C. Wall, Dowagiac: J. Linskey. Detroit; E. Cullinane, Niles; M. Esper, St. Joseph; H. D. McCarthy, Howell: John Mullen C. S. S. P., Rome. Last night there was also a good at­ tendance and an interesting program of music. Tbe Hastings city band fur­ nished instrumental music and Miss Pearl Donnelly of Jackson captivated her hearers by her beautiful solos. By request she will sing again tonight and Prof. Napolitano of Detroit will play the violin. The door prize Tuesday night was drawn by Florence Barbieri. It con­ sisted of a barrel of flour, donated by the Hostings Roller Mills. Last night tbe door prize, a ton of coal, was drawn by Mrs. George Carter. Miss Maud Ryan drew :the lady’s silk umbrella, donated by J. H. Carmody of Detroit In tbe ladies' voting contest for a diamond ring, the following are on the list: Harriett Goodyear, Grace Grant, Myrtle Sullivan, Clara Hendershott, Carrie Stebbins, Lydia Maurer, Katie McPharlln. In the gentlemen’s contest for a gold headed cane, P. T. Colgrove, R. B. Messer, and Tom Doyle are on the list. ' The bazar will be continued tomor­ row night, when the articles with chances will be raffled off. Tonight tbe door prize is a trip ticket to St. Louis. 11.00 A Year WHEN STAMPS WERE NEW. Trouble In Getting People to Stick Them on tbe Envelope. | “When postage stamps first came in­ to use,” said a veteran postal clerk, “the public didn’t know how to handle them. You remember how, when tea Sad coffee first appeared among us. the people fried the tea leaves and the cof­ fee berries and served them with salt and pepper? Well, tbe people treated their stamps ns absurdly in 1854. “Some folks would put the stamps In­ side their letters, out of sight. Here Is the official notice that we Issued to stop that practice." Tbe clerk took from the drawer an aged bulletin that said: “Tbe stamps upon all letters and packages must be affixed on the out­ side thereof and above the address thereon." He put back this bulletin and drew forth another one. “People would pin the stamps on their letters instead of gumming them.” he said, “and when they did gum them they would not do It right; hence this second bulletin,’' and he read: “ ‘Persons posting letters should af­ fix the requisite number of stamps pre­ vious to depositing them In tbe letter receivers, as when posted in a damp state the stamps are liable to rub off and thereby cause the letters to be treated as unpaid. Do not pin on the ■tamps.’ “Still," said the clerk, "tbe public didn't understand. Think of it—it didn't understand tbe simple matter of sticking a postage stamp on a letter. So we got out a third bulletin.” Tbe third bulletin, in big. Impatient letters, said: "The simplest and most effectual method of causing stamps to adhere firmly is first to moisten well the out­ side of the stamps and afterward tbe gummed side slightly, taking care not to remove the gum." Tbe clerk said that a philatelist bad offered him *12 apiece for these three queer bulletins.—Galveston Tribune. COTTON SPINNING. The Sehese hr Which a WwtaMi Kept Hie BohMas Clcaa. The father of the famous Sir Robert Peel was a cotton spinner In a com­ paratively small way until bo sudden­ ly went straight ahead of all his com­ petitors. The earliest cotton spinning machinery gave serious trouble through filaments of cotton adhering to the bobb|ns, thus involving frequent stoppages to clear tbe machinery. Tbe wages of tiie operatives were affected by these delays, but It was noticed that one man in the works always drew fall pay. ills loom never stopped. “The onlooker tells me your bobbins are always clean," said Mr. Peel to him one day. "Aye, they be,” said the man, whose name was Dick Ferguson. "How do you manage It, Dick?’ “Why, you see, Mester Peel, it’s sort o’ secret! If I towd yo’r yo’d be as wise as I am." "That's so," said Peel, smiling in response to Dick's knowing chuckle. “I'd give you something to know. Could you make all the looms work as smoothly as yours?" “Ivery one of ’em, mester!" “Well, what shall I give yon for your secret, Dick?" Tbe man smiled and rubbed his chin. "Well, Dick, what is It to be?" "Come, I'll tell thee," was tbe re­ ply. "Gl’ me a quart of ale ivery day as I'm in the mills and I’ll tell thee all about it." "Agreed,” said tbe master. “Well, then,” returned Dick, beckon­ ing Mr. Peel to come closer and let him whisper In his ear, “chalk your bob­ bins!” That was the entire secret Ma­ chinery was soon invented for chalk­ ing- the bobbins, and Dick Ferguson was given a pension equal to many dally quarts of beer.

Strange as It may seem to some, tbe ingredients of the witches' caldron in “Macbeth." at least a part of them, were once standard remedies among Europeans. In the tenth and eleventh centuries a sovereign cure for ague was the swallowing of a small toad that had been cboken to death on St John’s eve, and a splendid remedy for rheumatism was to fasten the bands of clothing with pins that bad been stuck Into the flesh of either a toad or a frog. Physicians frequently recom­ mended the water from a toad’s brain for mental affections aud that a live toad be rubbed over the diseased parts as a care for the quinsy. Letten af Intvedaatto*.

The independent voters all seem to be looking at the present political sit­ uation in the same way. Here is what Mr. Clarence T. Atkinson of New. Jer­ sey says: “Roosevelt has talked civil service and acted as the basest of spoilsmen; be preaches civic righteousness, and takes into the greedy folds of his heart the debaucher of a state, Addicks; he preaches and boasts of an anti-trust record, and yet no trust in three years of bis administration has been harmed. No legal acumen can build up a shred of justification for his service-pension order, a precedent of executive usurp­ ation too dangerous to our constitution­ al government to contemplate with se­ renity: his invasion of Colombia’s in­ ternational rights was vicious, and his Caesarism has made a frightful stride toward an empire on the crumbling foundations of our republic.” Thia is given merely as a mild sam­ ple. But Mr. Atkinson »oes on and gives his reasons why Parker will carry New Jersey: u<]?he distrust of Roosevelt, the half­ empty dinner pails, reduced wages, number of unemployed, high prices for what you eat and wear, and besides, the public is tired of tbe republican rings of New Jersey.

There should America’s Greatest Weekly, be half a million miles of such roads in America. The government deficit of $24,000,­ 000 for July and August, against $1,000­ 000 loss last year, is due in part to a de­ crease in revenue of 87,000,000, in part to an increase in expenditure of $16,­ 000,000. Decrease in revenue is not regret­ table. It is an evidence of thrift. We are no longer buying foreign goods in excess of our needs and so swelling the customs, as we did during tbe senseless “boom.” We are spending a million a month less upon internal-revenue tax­ ation. These economies are wise, prudent, inevitable, likely to continue. Greater expenditure is due in the main to an increase from 1903 in only I two months of nearly 8(1,000,000 for the war department and 87,000,000 for the navy. Yet even last year we were spending for these warlike purposes 8118,000,000 more than we did in 1897. The only possible means of restoring cash to the depleted treasury—the treasury so recently overflowing—is to sell new bonds or to inciease taxation or to cut down expenditures, and es­ pecially our mounting military costs. The last named is the method of busi­ ness common sense. It is idle to ex­ pect its application by the present ad­ ministration, military-mad, crazed by the obsession of the Big Stick.—N. Y. World.

' The people, therefore, must retain their interest in polities and constantly experience a deep sense of their re­ sponsibility as sovereign rulers of their own Institutions or the republic will fall. If they are becoming apathetic there isserious cause for anxiety. But it is more probable that the present serenity in political affairs is caused by greater intelligence and independence of mind than apathy. The universal diffusion of education has developed tbe thinking powers of the voters until they can no longer be influenced by noise and glitter and high sounding words. They read and weigh and de­ cide for themselves. They ore not in­ different to public affairs and issues, but they don’t care to have some poli­ tician tell them how to vote. If this is the real condition of the pub­ lic mindltoday, it does not imply apathy, dut intelligence and sanity. The peo­ ple will not get excited and angry over the issues of tbe campaign but they will turn out on election day just tbe same, and they will express their will with­ out tbe dictation of tbe professional pol­ iticians. When the votes are counted in November we shall see whether the present calm is the manifestation of a dangerous apathy or only of a quiet de­ termination of the people to think and act according to the dictates of tbeir own reason. No Excuse For It. The assertion is being upade In some quarters that certain democrats in Michigan are going to vote for Roose­ velt instead of Parker. It is not easy to believe that this is true. There is no possible excuse for a democrat to take such an inconsisteotcourse, unless indeed he wants to, change his politics. But speaking of democrats who are such by conviction, who believe in tbe es­ sential principles of democracy, noth­ ing could be more inconsistent for them than to reject such an able, typical dem. ocrat as Alton B. Parker, and vote for such a radical republican as Theo­ dore Roosevelt. There are many democrats in Mich­ igan wbo were not in favor of Judge Parker’s nomination. They preferred some one wbo was in sympathy with Mr. Bryan. But, surely, these demo­ crats will not be so disloyal to the party as to repudiate Its action at St. Louis because the majority of delegates to the national convention voted for Judge Parker instead of for a Bryan man, In a democratic convention it is tbe time-honored custom to fight out differences and then to bow to tbe will of the two-tbirds majority when its de­ cision has been reached. Mr. Bryan himself has recognized tbe force and the reasonableness of this custom and is loyally supporting the man whom he so strenuously opposed in the conven­ tion. He does not like Mr. Parker’s stand on certain academic principles but be bows to the will of the majority and accepts the situation, feeling that it is far better to elect Judge Parker than Theodore Roosevelt. This ought to be the attitude of all his followers. Again, so far as Michigan democrats are concerned there can be no local in­ ducement for them to vote for Roose­ velt. If Michigan were a close state there might be a temptation for demo­ crats who are not satisfied with tbe St. Louis ticket to trade off Parker In the interest of Ferris. But as tbe state is so strongly republican on national is­ sues as not to need a single democratic vote, there can be nothing gained by any such trading. The only consistent, loyal thing for all democrats to do is to vote for Parker and democratic prin­ ciples. On the other hand those republicans who are dissatisfied with tbeir state ticket can vote for Mr. Ferris without in the least jeopardizing the national ticket. These republicans can well feel that in voting for Roosevelt and Ferris they are loyally supporting tbeir politi­ cal beliefs and at the same time admin­ istering to tbeir party in this state a salutary lesson which it greatly needs. ministrative talents that were needed in accomplishing the purpose of Lhe new department. It this was true then was it not acting contrary to the best interests of the government to take Mr. Cortelyou away from his mission in order to have him undertake the pure­ ly selfish work of raising money to elect Mr. Roosevelt? Which is the higher and nobler oc­ cupation, curbing and restraining the trusts and protecting and building up , the interests of labor, or going out and j “working” these same institutions for I big campaign contributions’? Could I not some body else have been found in | the republican party to do this sordid, even if necessary service for Mr. Roose­ velt, without taking the new* secretary of commerce and labor, from his valu­ able work? Surely, the valiant “rough rider,” who has posed us a high-minded re­ former, has descended from his lofty pedestal in transferring Mr. Cortelyou from bls cabinet position to the post of । chief money raiser for the campaign, and Mr. Cortelyou has equally fallen from bis lofty estate in consenting to be thus made the tool of his master. The Machine Damaged. The republican state convention at Saginaw yesterday nominated for jus­ tices of tbe supreme court Russell C. Ostrander of Lansing for the sevenyear term: Chas. A. Blair of Jackson for the five-year term; aud Aaron V. MeAl v ay of Manistee, for tbe three year term. This was a partial defeat for tbe machine as the only one of the three successful aspirants who was slat­ ed by the machine was Ostrander. This action looks as if the party man­ agers were getting alarmed at the re­ volt against machinism and were throwing a sop to reform.

We employ an accommodating staff of salespeople. City stores do not equal our close prices. We cheerfully exchange your goods or give back your cash. The grand increase in our business proves that we have the confidence of the Hastings public. We will continue to earn the reputation of selling good merchandise at a fair margin. You can bay cheap dry goods, as far as pride is concerned, but the object is to buy GOOD DRY GOODS CHEAP. Suppose you buy a cheap print and first time it is washed it goes to pieces, is that cheap? Suppose you buy a low priced dress goods and buy linings and trimmings and pay for making, it’s like throwing away good money. Suppose you buy a cheap com­ mon coat or skilt which wears out before the winter does, is it profitable? No! No! Every Dollar Possess is invested in Hastings. We could not afford to do anything but the right one. We don’t build our business on the class of customers who are looking for something for nothing, but on the thrifty people who are willing to buy a full dollar’s worth of goods for their dollar. Fall Goods are Arriving Daily and the store is beginning to look full again. Those who want an early selection of Dress Goods can come now and choose.

We are looking for your business, and if values are not better, if assortments are not greater, if styles and patterns are not newer than competitors, then we don’t expect you to trade with us.

R. at $75,000,000 capitalization. Mr. Lawson says, however, that he protested against this course, but was powerless to prevent It, and consented only on cer­ f tain agreements, which were afterward disregarded. He tells with detail how the deal was carried out by JsM manipulating the name and resources of the National City bunk of New York and using employees as dumILmy directors of a fnke corporation. In this rounectlou tlie claim Is made that tbe Standard Oil system ' Is based on just such chicanery, in which vast fortunes have been actually created for the benefit of private Individuate. He says that there exists today "uncontrolled in the hands of a set of men a power to make dollars from nothing." and that It is possible today for the beneficiaries of tills system to "steer" the selection of the candi­ dates of both the great parties for the highest office. He explains tills not on the theory that there are more dishonest men now than former­ ly but by saying that at no other period in our history "has honesty been so completely steered by dishonesty."

It is a great convenience to have at hand reliable remedies for use in cases of accident and for slight injuries and ailments. A good liniment and one that is fast becoming a favorite if not a household necessity is Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. By applying it promptly to a cut, bruise or burn it allays the pain and causes the injury to heal in about one-third the time usually re­ quired, and as it is an antiseptic it pre­ vents any danger of blood poisoning. When Pain Balm is kept at hand a sprain may be treated before inflamma­ tion sets in, which insures a quick re­ covery. For sale by W. H. Goodyear. CARLTON CENTER.

Vol XXV. No. 15 HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1904. A VERY BEAUTIFUL WEDDING I amidst surroundings most CHARMING. Miss Mabel Colerove and Mr. William M. Stebbins United In Holy Bonds at Emmanuel Church. The marriage of Miss Mabel Col. grove and Mr. William Marcus Steb­ bins was solemnized last evening, Sep­ tember fourteenth at Emmanuel church in this city, Rev. R. H. F. Gairdner, xector of Grace church, Grand Rapids officiating. The sacred edifice was made beautiful by the rich profusion of cut flowers and potted plants, skillfully arranged by the deft Ungers of the ar­ tist, and the tender touch of loving hands. The church was filled to its utmost capacity, the guests being received by the ushers, Messrs. Edward Goodyear, Geo. Lowry, Lawrence Colgrove, and William Goodyear in the full uniform of military cadets. At 7:30 o'clock, ac­ companied by the tender strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march, execut­ ed by Mrs. Louise Keate, the maid of honor, Miss Louise Packard of Charlotte entered from the choir room closely fol­ lowed by the four bridesmaids, Miss •Tulia Spalding aqd Miss Bessie Rue of Charlotte, Miss Gertrude Smith of Hastings and Miss Amelin Goodyear of Rochester, N. Y. Marching down the center aisle they met the bride as she appeared upon the arm of her father. She was gowned in white chiffon cloth with lace trimmings, a beautiful crea­ tion of the modiste’s art, her long veil sweeping in graceful folds, adding beauty and dignity to the charming presence of the fair young bride. She carried a shower bouquet of bride’s roses. Miss Packard was dressed in em­ broidered pink chiffon, wearing a pink picture hat, carrying bridesmaid roses. The bridesmaids wore dresses of white point d’esprit with white picture hats and carried pink chiffon muffs. Attend­ ed by the ushers, and preceding the bride at the approach to the chancel they were met by the bridegroom and best man, Mr. Fred Stebbins. The offici­ ating priest entered from the vestry room, preceded by the cross bearer, bearing aloft the sacred emblem of the Christian church, when the beautiful marriage service of the church was im­ pressively rendered. Mrs. Hams sang in her own inimitable manner ‘‘Be­ loved it is Morn’’ and the bridal party retired, as the strains of Lohengrin’s wedding march floated down the aisles. Of the reception which followed no pen picture can give any adequate idea of the beauty and harmony that pre­ vailed. The palatial home was indeed decked in gala garb, to do honor to the daughter going out from its precincts. At the north end of the parlor an arch was formed across the mantel which was banked with pink and white asters. Under this arch the bridal party re­ ceived the guests who were presented with the usual formalities by Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Goodyear and Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Chidester. The dining room was beautiful and complete in all its arrangements. A basket of exquisite pink and white roses graced the center of the table, the effect enhanced by chiffon bows. This room was in charge of Mrs. Bush and Mrs. John Goodyear, assisted by the bride’s Sunday school class, who al­ so served punch In the library. The presents were rare and numer­ ous, manifesting the high esteem in which the bridal couple is held. The floral decorations were in charge of Mr. Charles Lewis. The cheerful strains of orchestral music from the porch mingled with the gaiety within, and pleasant words of greeting and kindest wishes were free­ ly showered upon the “twain made one” while from many hearts was echoed May all thins* prore ho fair and bright They’ll always blow their marriage night Among the out of town guests were Judge and Mrs. VaoZile and son, Don­ ald, of Detroit, and Misses Betty and Carolyn Dwight of Evanston.

Detroit, Mich. FROM THE ST. LOUIS FAIR. John Powers Writes of Doings on the Pike. Following arc several excerpts from a recent letter received from John Pow­ ers at St. Louis. Since I last wrote I have taken in the fair more or less. A wonderful sight to be sure but it gets tiresome. To me the laying out of the grounds and the exterior of the buildings were most in­ teresting. They have certainly at­ tained some marvelous effects. Noone of course ever Is quite contented with­ out having seen the “Pike” and gotten taken in a few times. Verily the Amer­ ican people were made to be humbuged. 1 first took a ride on the Scenic rail­ road just for a starter. The start lasts the whole course with neither stop nor let up, up hill and down dale and around the curves like the old boy him­ self. You know how they are only this Is a little worse. You pass through weird, fantastic forests all of beautiful­ ly painted canvas, peopled with numer­ ous savages quite fierce in the original cord-wood construction, not otherwise. Suddenly with an extra downward plunge with an absent feeling at your stomach the scene is a cavern, on one side rugged rock, pale io its plaster construction, on the other a yawning depth of a murky abyss filled with con­ siderable water—not too much, aug­ ments the horrors of the deep. But with thirsty thousands and one cent per one could not be too generous. Another venture I made was the great and famous “Creation.” This is really wonderful. Most impressive is the entrance, with an oblique mirror where all walk up thinking it u door­ way and shake hands with themselves, a last good b.. e. The first scene a man comes out and points with a threaten­ ing gesture to the chantalin on which hang two grinning piaster skulls and tells you they belong to a great magic­ ian, one in his youth—one at maturity —the audience obligingly laugh. Then some one fires a gun behind the scenes and after the usual masculine murmur and feminine flutter is over he an­ nounces no one is hurt and what’s more no one will be hurt. Thus reas­ sured we pass into the gates of heli. Here it is not half bad. Red devils flit out here and there and one in ad­ vance. a guide of the nether world, walks on ahead and repeats lines of Paradise Lost or maybe Faust. The voice grows stronger. He knows qui^e a little of it and does well with much practice. A few steps more and whirr —an animated skeleton skijns the air with much rattle of bones and block and tackle. It reminds you of a cash carrier and you reach for your money but the awful scene saves you in time. Then a panoramic view of the holy garden, more Paradise Lost or maybe Faust, and you breath the pure air glad you have been faked and glad it is over. This is pretty long winded and I’ll cut it short- There is not much else except the shows. The terrible Turks are quite civilized and mostly profes­ sional fair attendees. Fair Notes.

Hender­ shott, “Drummer Boy of the Rappahan­ nock” to give exhibitions of bis marvel­ lous skill as a drummer. Major Hen­ dershott enlisted from Michigan when 11 years of age and soon after going to the front captured a rebel and deliv­ ered him to the commanding general, de became famous at once. One of the drums he uses was presented to him by Horace Greeley, another by the Wo­ man’s Relief Corps. His Rappahan­ nock band will be a feature of the fair. So many who saw the scenic show, “The Train Robbery,” at the late car­ nival were so pleased with it that the committee has secured a brand new outfit to show at the fair. This is a marvel of electric scenic production and should be seen by all means. Diphtheria is Prevalent. The monthly bulletin, "Health in Michigan,’, for the month of August, 1904, just issued by the state board of health, shows that during August diph­ theria was reported present at 06 local­ ities in Michigan, and was reported by seven per cent of all the representa­ tive physicians making weekly postal card reports of the sickness under their observation, while on the average for the month of August in the ten preced­ ing years, only three per cent of such reports included diphtheria. In Michigan, diphtheria usually at­ tains its maximum in the months of October to February, inclusive, and readies the minimum in July and Aug­ ust. So far this year diphtheria has been more prevalent than usual in each month, particularly in July and August, unfortunately just prior to the opening of the public schools and other institutions of learning. The special attention of teachers, medical inspectors of schools, and others interested in the care and edu­ cation of the young, is hereby directed to the present unusual necessity for careful observation of the youth under their charge, and, in case sore throat appears among the pupils, immediate action by the separation of the child so suffering from the rest of the pupils, and notifying the parents recommend­ ing the placing of the child under med­ ical supervision. Pupils should be taught that it is dangerous to make common use of pencils, chewing gum, drinking cups, or other articles likely to be placed in the mouth. The dis­ eases which may be transmitted by such practices should *be enumerated to them. As. it is often difficult to recognize mild cases of diphtheria, or to distin­ guish such cases from a simple tonsilitr 1s, pharyngitis or laryngitis, and as mild coses of diphtheria often commun­ icate a dangerous and fatal form of diphtheria, all cases of sore throat should be viewed with suspicion, and precautionary measures taken as in the cases of recognized diphtheria. Clark. Palmer V. Clark of Wilbur, Washi i ngton, a former Barry county boy, was accidentally killed Monday, Sept. 5, while out on a hunting and fishing expedition in the mountains. He was fishing and his companion who was hunting, fired just as his head appear­ ed from behind a stone. The remains were brought to Lacey, Sunday, for burial where his father, Wm. H. Clark, resides.

A Non-Partisan Opinion. Michigan democrats in their state convention complimented the teaching profession by choosing from it one of its best and most famous teachers, W. N. Ferris, as their candidate for gov­ ernor. Should any fortuitous conjunc­ tion of planets land Mr. Ferris in Mich­ igan’s gubernatorial chair, that niece of historic furniture would have in it more brains, integrity, decency, busi­ ness and executive ability, eloquence, courage and culture than it has held for many, many moons. Some pop-gun politicians sneer at the nomination of a “schoolmaster” and intimate that the nominee will be the puppet of the ma­ chine boss. These people don't know Mr. Ferris. Should he be elected there will be some sadly fooled fellows. It may be set down once for all that ex­ prison convicts, gamblers, saloon keep­ ers and bank wreckers will not be paid for dirty party work in appointments to important offices, or made the chief advisers and favored friends of the governor.—Moderater Topics.

He said “We in New York mean to have ten or twelve hard-working democrats assigned to each of the 5,000 election districts in the state—a force of 50.000. About 9200 will be expended on an average by each, for printing, meetings, carriages, etc. They will take two careful canvasses counting probably a million dollars. By the first week in November they will have their lessons by heart. We never had so thorough an organization as we have this year, and the first canvass of the state above the Bronx is about finished. A fraud order has beerf issued by the Attorney-General barring W. M. Farr of this city from the use of lhe mails in connection with his alleged colleges and universities and their “diplomas.” General Goodwin says its pretenses and promises are a “tissue of falsehood.” Why does not the Postmaster-General tackle that institution in Niles. Mich., which offers diplomas and degrees to men who have never studied medicine or surgery, guaranteed that they are competent to practice those professions and recommends such quacks to “all whom it may concern'?’’ Yet it may be possible to carry this supervisory business too far. Wiley’s chemical laboratory for testing import­ ed food products may possibly do «ome good by menacing people who transport impure food, and cannot do much harm. But if the government is to issue fraud orders against all the newspapers that advertise medicine “which has no cura­ tive power," what will the end be? Will it test every alleged medicine and fjuarautee to the purchaser the excelence of those which 1L thinks is good. The department intends to issue fraud orders against all remedies that are shown by analysis made by govern­ ment chemists to contain harmful In­ gredients or ingredients that have no medical value In the complaints fdr which they are designed and sold.’’ Such inspection would require a force larger than the entire array and navy of tbe United States. Congressman J. Adam Bede of Duluth is now galloping through tbe United States expressing himself on every eligible stump. Fifteen years ago he was a reporter in this city, and a very lively boy he was. He followed his bus­ iness to the west and came to congress from the Zenith City of the Unsalted Seas as a democrat. Tnen he indulged In a sober second thought and came as a republican. A sentence of his speech the other day at Chautauqua was, “Tbe first thing democrats Deed to do is to get right with God.', No auditor ought to mention or even remember the fact that it did not occur to Adam Bede to get right with God till after the democratic party had refused to re­ elect him.

A good liniment and one that is fast becoming a favorite if not a household necessity is Chamberlain's Pain Balm. By applying it promptly to a cut, bruhe or burn it allays the pain and causes the injury to heal in about one-third the time usually re­ quired, and as it. is an antiseptic it pre­ vents atoy danger of blood poisoning.

Certainly there never has been such a tremendous struggle between an occidental and an oriental race as the present Russo-Jap­ anese war. And the strange part of the situation, which would have been pronounced impossible by the best au­ thorities fifteen years ago, is that the oriental nation of thirty million people is administering terrible defeats to two hundred million Caucasians. Everywhere the Japanese are out­ classing the Russians in energy, ag­ gressiveness, military skill, strategy, in everything in fact that goes to make victory possible, except It be in cour­ age. In that one quality Indeed the Russians are making as good a record as their enemies. But cour,.ge in it­ self when pitted against equal courage will not win unless it Is coupled with other qualities that give it effective di­ rection. It can only fight to the death or doggedly retreat to light another day as Kuropatkin’s brave army is do­ ing, leaving the hills ot Manchuria strewn with thousands of its dead. And what will be the outcome of this awful tragedy? Will the Mikado’s conquering armies be permitted to sweep every soldier of Russia from lhe territory in dispute, and Is tbe Japan­ 's* Beet destined to hold undisputed sway over the northern Pacific? In fact is Japan on the point of driving the Russians from eastern Asia? For answer to such inquiries it is but necessary to note the departure of Russia’s Baltic fleet for tbe scene of war and the callingout of the Russian reserves. It looks as though the mighty Russian empire were nerving herself for a still bloodier and more de­ termined struggle in the east than ever. There seems to be no promise of peace in these new preparations of tbe czar to go on with the dreadful sac­ rifice. Apparently be intends to hurl his armies and bis fleets against his plucky foe as long as he has a bat­ talion left or a battleship afloat. And yet is there not a possibility of peace, even because of the enormous cost which this war is ent tiling and be­ cause lof the appalling possibilities which its long continuance involves? Will tbe other nations sit idly by and see the strife go on, with the chances of involving other powers in tbe con­ flict, and not attempt to bring an end to the strife by the resources of di­ plomacy? It seems not unreasonable to believe that the meet fearful war of modern times will be terminated soon, either by the warring nations of their own volition or through the medi­ atory efforts of tbe combined neutral powers. I Chairman Cortel/ou Is u resourceful mao. Knowing the fondness of people for pictures he is going "to send a lec­ turer with a magic lantern into the ‘Hoosier’ state to tell the people about the home life of President Roosevelt and picture it to them in colors on screens.” Just as soon as "a special representative of the republican na­ tional committee" can take some pic­ tures of tbe home Ijfe of Mr. Roosevelt, this special representative will invade the country precincts of Indiana. Then, woe unto tbe democratic cause in the Hoosier s^ate! Nothing can be so convincing to the rustic mind as these pictorial argu­ ments. When they see the beautiful summer home of our strenuous presi­ dent on Sagamore Hill, embellished by all that tbe great wealth and good taste of its distinguished owner can suggest, these unsophisticated farmers of Indiana will at once see why they ought to vote for him. Such a picture will show them how a man of Inherited wealth and cultivated tastes is able to enjoy himself io the "good old summer time” while they have to toll and sweat from sun rise till sun set raising the crops that furnish the country’s wealth and enable the wealthy folks like our strenuous president to enjoy themselves. Then again the Indiana farmers will have thrown upon the canvas a calm and serene summer scene with the preaident and his interesting family on the way to church, thereby refuting the calumny that Teddy Roosevelt is a heathen, and proving that he actually goes to church the same as other peo­ ple! Once more the acene will change and the president’s familiar form will be recognized playing golf, or riding horseback, or splitting wood in the back yard, or building tbe kitchen tire In the morning. And no doubt it will be surprising and comforting for these Indiana farmers to note that our stren­ uous chief magistrate does not wear his spurs and pistols in the dining room, nor go about the house with that “rough rider” expression which he al­ ways wears in the cartoons. There Is no doubt that Mr. Cortelyou has hit upon a very effective line of ar­ gument to convince the Hoosier farm­ ers that Teddy Roosevelt it the man for them to vote for and there is only one thing for Tom Taggart to do if he wants to counteract this shrewd strata gem of the enemy. He must meet his opponent upon nls own ground. He must fight the devil with fire. He must forthwith dispatch a photograph­ er to Rosemount and send, not one, but a dozen magic lantern shows into In­ diana and to all other close states. If Judge Parker won’t go west and show h!s manly countenance to the farmers, why, the farmers must be taken, by the aid of living, moving pictures to the judge’s country seat on the Hudson and shown the democratic candidate as he takes his morning plunge in the river, as he goes to the pasture when the evening shades are falling to milk the gentle cows; or as, with pitchfork in hand, be loads the fragrant hay upon the rack. If tbe republican chairman thinks he has a monopoly on ibwe pictorial argumeots, Tom Taggart can easily abow him his mistake, and »-e have no doubt he will do it. _ □cation to turn from one's political as­ sociates and join an opposition party against one’s lifelong atllliations. And yet no one can doubt the honest motives of these republicans who are in revolt against the republican machine. The instincts of duty and patribtism are stronger in these men than parLisanThey care more for good gov-. eminent than for party names nnd par­ ty regularity. They know that the on­ ly way to rescue the government ot Michigan from the clutches of a politi­ cal ring is to put a man in tbe execu­ tive oflice at Lansing who is absolutely unpurchasablc and uncontrollable by any coterie of politicians, devoted to' the interests of the common people and I pledged to give them the reforms they want; and to send to the legislature j men who will heartily co-operate with I such a government in enacting the de- J sired legislation. Knowing these things Judge Cahill and thousands of good republicans all over Michigan are going lo unite with democrats on stale issues and adtninisterto the bosses who are running the g. o. p. such a lesson us they will not soon forget, by electing Woodbridge N. Fer­ ris governor of Michigan. Mr. Roosevelt’s letter of accept­ ance is just what might have been ex­ pected from him—a vigorous laudation of the republican party and an emphatic announcement to the people that if he is elected he will keep right on with his present policy. Well, the letter is frank and Rooseveltian, and if the American people like imperialism and extravagant expenditures and a nar­ row policy of protection nnd militarism, they know they can get them by elect­ ing Mr. Roosevelt.

PIERSON Hi Hi Hi SON Hi Hi �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1904 A Jewel of a. Valet H. QUAD —Copyright, 1*8. by C. B. Lewta.... EFORE tbe coming of my valet . —my first and only one. who ' departed this life-a few weeks since, to my great sorrow—I was plain James Burden. I wns even called Jim now and then, and the ‘Mr.” was left off my name far oftener than It was used. I was also generally supposed to be a card sharper nnd to work little games on confiding human nature, and more than once I over­ heard it said that I would go two blocks out of my way rather than pass a police station. I was In and out with luck, sometimes having money to spare ■nd again being almost driven to lodge in a doorway. I cannot doubt thnt I was steadily going to the bud when I met Charles. I encountered him at the rooms of an acquaintance where be was making himself useful while wait­ lag for a situation. It was very Im­ pudent of a valet to suggest to a gen­ tleman, and a stranger at that, thnt a confidential chat between them else­ where might lend to good results, but I decided to overlook the break for once and appoint an hour. Charles was on band to the minute, and he brought two trunks with him. Before coming upstairs he stopped and paid my land­ lord the matter of four weeks’ rent I owed him and ordered a bottle of wine and a fair dinner from a restaurant “Sir James,” he said In answer to my looks ot Inquiry, “I have brought your wardrobe and will now dress you for dinner. Tomorrow we will seek other and more suitable lodgings. Here Is tbe change from the twenty pound note yon sent out by me.” I have no doubt tbe fellow had stolen the money as well as tbo wardrobe, but It was not for me to find out. It took my breath away for a minute to be addressed as “Sir James,” but I found no fault with the title. It did not need any reflection to satisfy me that the world would receive Sir James Burden with open arms, even If doubt­ Ing his title, where Jim Burden would be stopped at the door. I found two full suits to fit me reasonably well. There were also ties, collars, bats, shoes and socks, and when I was fully arrayed the valet placed a diamond ring on my finger and a pearl in my necktie. I accepted everything as my due, and it seemed perfectly natural that Charles should wait upon me at dinner and show me all deference. It was only after the meal was finish­ ed, the table cleared and I had lighted a cigar from tbe expensive box he had laid out for mo that he quietly said: “If Sir James will sit down for a moment I will show him something of Interest.” I sat down, and he produced a pack of cards and manipulated them In a way to astonish me. -I had flattered . myself that I was an old hand at the < business, but within the hour he taught me ten times more than I wot of. “We will not speak of wages,” he ob­ served as we finished, “but I think you will cheerfully agree to pay me 10 ]>er cent of your gross earnings.” I agreed without hesitation, and . while I went out to look for new lodg­ Ings be went to a stationer’s to order cards for me. Next day we moved Into a suit of rooms In a fashionable neigh­ borhood and astonished the landlord by paying three months* rent In advance. Charles ordered a liberal supply of urines, sent me to a fashionable tailor for other clothes and directed me to B “WM WILD NOT SPEAK OF WAGES." the most high toned restaurants. In ten days London could not produce a more swagger man than Sir James Burden. I bad the best of clothes, the proudest of gaits and gold jingled In every pocket. I gave all my needy. »eedy friends the cold cut and played for higher game. Three or four clubs gladly received me, and not a man hnd tbe bad taste to question my geneal­ ogy, Through members of clubs I came to have the entree of various houses and a social circle, and for three months I never touched a card except as I played with Charles to perfect my knowledge. I was called a good fellow at the clubs, received with respect In society, and I could not make myself believe’ that 1 had once passed those bouses and people without a penny In my pocket to month, assuagebad myp.«dnj hunger. WteD ’S'thrw ___ .. _____ — ircrwl VT1Y ▼nlet, who had kept close track of my progress and had never failed to keep me supplied with funds, respectfully said to me one morning: ‘‘Sir James, you are now fitly pre­ pared to face the world, and it will be well that you begin business." I nodded in answer, ami thnt night at a club, after being repeatedly urged, I took the bank and came out £750 ahead of the game. Without reference to per cent, I handed my valet £500 and caught him surveying mo with a look of pride and triumph. During the next week I played to neither win nor lose, 1but somehow 1 cnme out several hun­ ।dred pounds to tbe good. By this time I began to have a club reputation as ;a stiff player. I took my losses with :nonchalance and my winnings with in­ ।difference. and under the advice ot my valet I contributed n pretty fair sum to a local charity.

It was not to complain against ine or iplne. remember, but of having been robbed by the cab drivers who took them home nnd assisted them up the steps. No sooner had they depart­ ed than I called Charles to me and said: “It does not seem possible that you could rob a guest of mine, ami yet”— “What is It. Sir James?” he queried, with a face full of Innocence. “I almost believe they were robbed here in my house.” “Ry you. sir?” “No. by you, you scoundrel:" “Those cab drivers are a bad lot.

Be­ fore we set out on our journey I warned him that there must be no foolishness nnd was much gratified to hear him reply: “Sir James. I fully understand that we are going on n vacation from tbe cares of business, nnd 1 trust that you may have no fault to find with my de­ portment.” We bad been at the house n week, and I believe thnt my host hnd come to think very well of me nnd that the servants’ quarters looked upon Charles as a model of whnt a valet should be. when Lady Rochester's diamonds were reported missing. Some one hnd en­ tered her room nt night by wny of the balcony, and the hnul amounted to £500. Not n trace hnd been left behind by the robber, who wns supposed to be some one from the city, nnd the most we could do wns to extend our sym­ pathies to the victim. For half an hour after first hearing of the robbery I hnd my suspicious that my volet had for­ gotten my warning, but when I saw him putting himself out to aid tbe country police nnd when he looked me full in the face and hoped that the rob­ ber would soon be in the tolls I dis­ missed my thoughts as doing him In­ justice. A month later, however, be handed me a bag of gold nnd some­ what solicitously observed: “Some of those diamonds were only paste, Sir Jnmes. nnd your shore is not as large as I hoped it might be.” I did not nsk for explanations.

There was high play at houses In town and country as well as nt the dubs, and I took care that I must be urged before taking a b-.nd. At a hint from Charles, I Invariably refused my winnings from women and never left the table without making a handsome donation to some private charity. 1 1 bad been pursuing this policy for a year or so, and our bank account bad waxed fat, when £3,00G worth of dlamonds were stolen from a house In which I was a guest Charles was with me in his proper position, but 1 bad no suspicions of him until our return home. Then it was certainty Instead of suspicions. He bad cribbed tbe diamonds and disposed of them for one-third of their value, and he divided fairly with me. I felt It my duty to warn him from his evil ways, and. when I had ceased lecturing I hoped I had made a deep impression. I was disappointed In this,/ however. It wasn’t a fortnight before he plundered a second house and handed me- nearly £1,000 ns my share of the swag. See­ ing that he was bent on following his own way. I had no more to say, nor when he handed me a bag of gold or u roll of notes did I express curiosity. I must except two or three special occasions, however. One night after my return from a club nnd while I sat waiting for my valet to put me to bed be came running upstairs In vulgar haste, tossed a package under the sofa with careless band and was out of bls street and into his bouse clothes and pulling off my gaiters before my sur­ prise would permit me to speak. I bad opened my Ups to reprove him for what 1 considered bls loss ot dignity when there came an Imperative knock at tbe door, and Charles promptly opened it to admit a brace ot detectives. They glanced from him to me and around the room and seemed, not a little astonished. "Gentlemen, I am honored by your call, whoever you are," I said as I pointed to the decanters and cigars on the sideboard. “We were pursuing a thief, and we were sure he entered here,” one of “BOUE OF THOSE DIAMONDS WE11X ONLT PASTE.” them explained. “A thief In tbe rooms of Sir James shoulder.

Charles Godfrey Leland said-thnt on bls first meeting with Carlyle the wise man showed himself In a somewh-it cynical frame of mind, from which .ic wns aroused only by a hit of whole­ some opposition. “And what kind of un American may you be—German or Irish or whnt?” Carlyle asked. “Since It Interests you. Mr. Carlyle,” replied Leland, “to know tbe origin ot my family 1 may say that I am de­ scended from Henry Leland, a noted Puritan, who went to America in 1(KW." “I doubt whether any of your family have since been equal to ydur old Puri­ tan great-grandfather,” growled Car­ lyle, and this, combined with some slurring remarks which he laid pre­ viously thrown out In regard to Amer­ ica and her history, roused Iceland’s spirit. “Mr. Carlyle,” he snld deliberately. “I think that my brother.

And allow me to say, Mr. Carlyle, thnt I think in nil matters of historical criti­ cism you-are principally influenced by the merely melodramatic nnd theatric­ al.” Carlyle looked utterly amazed and startled, though not nt all angry. “Whot’s thot ye say?” he cried in broad Scotch. Mr. Leland repeated the remark, grim smile ns of admiration came over the stern old face. It was with a deeply reflective and not displeased air that he replied, still in Scotch. “Nn, nn.

THEIR HISTORY AND THEiR POLICY CAN BE JUDGED FROM THEIR ^O^GDITIONS. They are neither particularly better nor ■vor?p, cleverer nor stupider, than others, just as it is a mistake to think of their language as particularly hard. It is a little harder .han Get man, but there are several much more difficult in Europe alone, find it is child’s play compared to some Asiatic ones. The second error is that Russian diplomacy is ALWAYS PAR­ SKILLFUL and its diplomats wily,successful schemers. 1 his is nonsense. The Russian diplomatic service has its clever men and its stupid ones. If they have shown tact and skill at times, not to say duplicity at others, they have frequently blundered. Nicholas I. blundered into the Crimean war; Russia’s handling of Bulgaria was far less tactful than our own of Cuba under somewhat similar cir­ cumstances. As to the current quarrel with Japcn, one can accuse Russian di­ plomacy of arrogance, blindness, anything you will, but not SKHX. Russians themselves would strenuously deny any particular diplomatic I 3j THt RUSSIANS WERE VIRTUALLY UNPREPARED FOR WAR, WHILE JAPAN HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR YEARS. v A. Wilmont. Hilary .

A FORCEFUL PRESIDENT may have more real con­ trol over affairs than A WEAK AUTOCRAT. For instance, we say Russia promised to evacuate Manchuria, but never intended to keep the promise. What do wo mean by Russia 1 The foreign minister who made the promise, or his imperial master, • or Viceroy Alexeieff, or who ? Of late there has apparently been much conflict between opposing influences in the Russian government, and its consistency has suffered. * There is a public opinion in Russia which has asserted itself many times recently. It drove Alexander IL into war, as American public opinion did McKinley. THERE ARE EVEN ANTI-IMPERIAL­ ISTS, and a good many of them. Another common belief is that Russia is an aggressive power, always gaining and insatiable, it would be absurd to pretend that Russians are any better than other people in their dealings with their neighbors. In the last century the possessions of Russia, leaving out Man­ churia, were increased by something over 1,500,000 square miles. It is a notable showing, but during the same period the United States gained some 2,800,000 square miles, France 3,900,000 and Great Britain 10,000,000 square miles, or AN AREA LARGER THAN THE WHOLE EXTENT OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE TO­ DAY. The conquest of Siberia was like our winning of the west, of cen­ tral Asia like that of the English in India. More than half the popula­ tion of Russia lives today on territory that was hers before Peter the Great came to the throne, more than two centuries ago. ]■ The immense increase of strength of Russia during the past century has come far more from the increase of her population and the development of her resources and creation of means of com­ munication than it has from an extension of her frontiers. Distance is still her GREATEST weakness, especially in this war. f RUSSIA ALONE WITH CHINA COULD SHED HER ACQUISITIONS OF THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS AND LEAVE HER REAL STRENGTH UNTOUCHED.

Teayh them bow to put out a small fire with rugs ur blankets, stopping di­ rect drafts by closing doors or win­ dows, nnd, above all. to keep cool and collected.

Original Cole’s Hot Blast Stoves Here!! SAVE $25 IN FUEL EVERY WINTER. BETTER THAN LAST YEAR. BUY NOW. 1904 Models of the Original Cole's Hot Blast are ready. This is the stove that burns the gas half of coal and saves the waste chimney heat of other stoves, . saving one-half. Burns any hind offuel without changing the stove in any way. Get one in your house now. There will be many a chilly morn­ ing and evening before real cold weather, and Cole’s Hot Blast will warm things up and dry up the dampness with a few newspapers, a handful of kindling or a few cobs. Read carefully the interesting description of this stove given below. It tells why Cole’s Hot Blast Stove makes $5.00 worth of fuel do more work than can be had w WAwith $10.00 worth in any other stove. IKiz, FURNACE USERS.—By purchasing one of these stoves for use during the early cold weather, you can start your furnace two months I later and save from one ,0 fi"ce tons °f coal. This will also prevent over-heating your house during the early cold weather which is unavoidable Il with a furnace. I For Soft Coal, Hard Coal, Coke and Wood Cost of Stove Saved in Fuel In an ordinary coal stove, half of the coal arises in gas and quickly goes up the chimney. When you remember that gas is itself fine fuel, being used in all the large cities for cooking, heating, and lighting, you realize how much is saved if the gas doesn’t escape, but is held in the stove and burned. Scientific Construction Guarantee r— We guarantee a saving of one-third in fuel over any lower draft stove of the same size. 2—We guarantee Cole's Hot Blast to use less hard coal for heating a given space than any base burner with same heating surface. j—We guarantee that the rooms can be heated from one to two hours each morning, with the soft or hard coalput in the evening before. Your old leaky stove does not give you a warm house at night and is usually out on the coldest morn­ ing and your house is cold for half the day. Notice in this picture of Cole’s Hot Blast how the draft burns the gas. It discharges a blast of highly heated air over and through the body of the fuel, thus distilling the gas from the fuel, oxydizing and burning it before its escape up the chimney and saving one half. 4—We guarantee that the stove will hold fire with soft coaf thirty-six hours, without attention. Read the Guarantee The above guarantee is made with the understand­ ing that the stave be operated according to directions, and set up with a goodflue. y— We guarantee a uniform heat day and night, with soft coal or hard coal, lignite or slash. 6— We guarantee every stove to remain absolutely air-tight as long as used. 7— IF? guarantee the feed-door to be smoke proof and dust proof. Cole’s Hot Blast is air-tight and guaranteed to remain so. Imitations open at the seams and leak at the joints. Cole’s Hot Blast is so perfect in construction that fire keeps all night. Both the gases and heat lost up the chimney with your old leaky stove are saved, and when the draft is opened in the morning the stove will bum one to three hours with the fuel put in the night before. other stove does this. Fire, therefore, never goes out, and the rooms arc kept at even temperature all the time. k IB tB k [ Caution (boat I.V4.

In the course of the assault* which took place in the four last days of August, .two companies of Japanese soldiers, according to Prince Radzivil, found themselves at the mercy of the Russians, and hoisted a white flag. To this, however, the Russians paid no attention, and continued to volley rapidly into the helpless ranks of the enemy. In the meantime Japanese troops in the rear of the companies that had raised the white flag saw what their comrades had done and expressed their disapproval by firing Into their rear. As a result of this fire from friend and foe 600 men were annihilat­ ed. The dead fell amor : the decom­ posing bodies of previous assaults.

But it is the principles and policies for which these leaders stand that should govern our choice when we go to the ballot box, and Theodore Roose­ velt’s principles and policies are so far from being in accord with democratic I ideals that no democrat can vote tor him without stultifying himself. Theodore Roosevelt believes in a loose construction of the constitution. His public policy shows that he is ready to stretch tbst instrument to any ex­ tent necessary to accomplish his pur* poses. The democratic party believes that the constitution should be scrueulously obeyed, as the only safe guide for this glorious republic, the hope and example of all tbe world. <. Theodore Roosevelt stands for cen­ tralization, a strong national govern­ ment militarism, world power, | inter­ ference in the affairs of uther natioos, a tremendous army and navy, dom­ . (nance of the western hemisphere, Im­ perialism. None of these things is in the democratic creed. Democrats have always believed with Washington that while we should be on friendly terms with all nations we should keep out of entangling alliances with any. Demo­ crats have always believed that the American people should mind their own business which is the building up of a constitutional republic, founded upon tbe greatest measure of individu­ al liberty consistent with tbe general welfare and lot our Influence upon tbe world be moral, educational and in­ spirational rather than militaryTheodore Roosevelt believes in a pro­ tective tariff. The democratic party is .unqualifiedly opposed to such a tariff, as tending to build up trusts, favoring a few at the expense of the many and hampering the fullest development of our commerce. Theodore Roosevelt believes in hold­ ing the Filipinoe as a subject race un­ der the form of a colonial government. Tbe democratic party, bolding to the doctrine that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, believe io treating the Fili­ pinos as we have the Cubans. Theodore Roosevelt declares that his present policy will be continued if ne is elected for a second term. This means that tbe lavish expenditures of tbe government which are already endan­ gering the national treasury will be continued. Democrats are strongly op­ posed to extravagance, and in favor of strict economy in administering the af­ fairs of government, to the end tbst the people may be taxed as lightly as possible and that public office may be administered with that frugality which is the glory of constitutional govern­ ment. There are other vital differences be­ tween Theodore Roosevelt’s beliefs and practices and those of the demo­ cratic party, but enough have been mentioned to show why no democrat who has any regard whatever for his principles can vote for the republican candidate. Especially must this be true when democrats have in Judge Years The self satisfied manner in which the republican president speaks of the record of the republican party under the present administration, as being something to be proud of, something which he would not have different if he could, a record that he boldly de­ clares he will coutlnue without change another four years if he is successful at the polls this fall is remarkable, for it is a record of extravagance and favor­ itism towards certain classes that threatens to bring distress upon the country. During the first two months of the current fiscal year the govern­ ment expenditures have exceeded tbe receipts by more than 825,000,000. How long can even tbe richest na­ tion on earth ntand such a drain upon its treasury without disaster? The ex­ penditures for August, 1904, exceed those for August, 1903, by 18 per cent. At the same time the receipts have fallen off. What excuse can the administration offer for such a condition of affairs in time of profound peace? Is there any excuse? B’rom Mr. Roosevelt’s stand­ point, it is to be presumed that none is needed. His administration is heap­ ing up a deficit every month and is costing the country two and one-half times as much as the first Cleveland administration. But what of it? Does not our strenuous president glory in it all apd has he not said that If he is re­ elected he will go right on in tbe same course? Are not the Items of 8113,­ 000,000 for the war department and 8102,000,000 for the navy department in the budget of 1904 sure to be In­ creased each and every year of his sec­ ond term? And where will it all end? There can be but two ways in which such a policy can end—either In higher tariffs or Id national bankruptcy. Of course’ the administration will choose the for­ mer expedient and this will just suit tbe great, protected trusts. But how about the common people who have to stand the brunt of it? Do they want four more years of Teddy? acterlzee as banner years for railroad*, were greatly in excess of Lhe combined profits of the Pennsylvania, New York Central, and Baltimore and Ohio rail­ roads. Commenting on this the writer says: "The obvious explanation of the fabulous profits is to be found in the needless DI ng ley duties." Commenting on the steel trust exact­ ing 828 per ton from domestic railroads while selling tbe same goods to foreign roads, for 822 per ton, Mr. Dunlap quotes from a letter written by Charles Si. Schwab at the time he was presi- ■ dent of the steel trust, to Henry C. I Frick, chairman of tho Carnegie Steel • Company, In which Mr. Schwab says:1 “What Is true of rails la exactly true of , other steel products. You know we can make tails for less than 812 per ton, leaving a nice margin on foreign business." J Concluding his article Mr. Dunlap exclaims, ’verily, tbe tariff is the mother of trusts’—as Havemeyer has boldly and bluntly confessed from the witness stand.’’ ero.—- FALL w Dress Goods-Waistings All the Latest Novelties to Show You.

WORSE THAN AT KISHINEFF Bodles of Victims Dler-embered and Portions Thrown to the Doge—Dia­ bolical Tortures Inflicted on the Un­ fortunate Hebrews. Philadelphia, Sept. 19.—A cableKTam received to-day says at Sasnovitch, a small city in the province of Prison, In Germany, close to the Rus­ sian frontier, more than fifty Jews were murdered one week ago to-day, whili more than 100 were seriously, some mortally, wounded. This slaugh­ ter was coincident with the celebra­ tion of the Jewish New Year. Sasnovitch is a city the populace of which is composed of Jews, Ger­ mans and Russians. With sunrise of Sunday one week ago there started an anti-Semitic riot rivaling In barbarism andJ bloodthirstiness the masnacres in Klshineff. The murders ended only when the mob was ex­ hauBted by its work. The riots began at sunrise on Sun­ day one week ago and continued until the rioters were exhausted. Bodies of victims were dismembered. The rioters used axes and knives to chop off arms and legs, the severed mem­ bers being tossed to the dogs in the streets. In one instance, it is reported, the arms of a sexton of a synagogue were twisted from his body by his assail­ ants, and the wounded who were car­ . rled to hospitals were maltreated af­ ter reaching the institutions. The bloodthirsty mob fell upon the Jewish quarter after sunrise, and whenever it encountered a Jew pur­ sued him and stabbed him in the back or shot him down as he waa making his escape. The bodies of those who were rid­ dled with shot were left to lie in the street until the second mob, carrying knives, would come along. With their sharps blades they severed hands, legs and feet Fragments of these bodies were hurled to dogs, which fol­ lowed the mob. A Jewish woman named Gelenzer, who was the mother of five children, fought desperately and pleaded for her children's sake that her life be spared. She was stabbed fifty-eight times and dismembered. t TROOPS UNABLE TO QUELL STRIKE RIOTS IN ITALY Uncensored DlRiatch Telia of Anxiety of Authorities at Rome and Work of Mobs at Other Points. Paris.

Washington, Sept. 19.—With a view to a reduction in tbe expense of main­ taining a large military establishment in the Philippines, Lieut-Gen. Chaffee, chief of staff, recently cabled to Major General Wade, commanding the Phil­ ippine division, asking if conditions la the archipelago would not justify the reduction of the present fefree from four regiments of cavalry and alne of infantry to three regiments of cavalry and seven of Infai ‘ry. Gen. Chaffee has received a reply from Gen! Wade expressing the opinion that the proposed reduction of mili­ tary strength was not only practicable, hot advisable. It is -probable arrange­ ments will soon be made for bringing home the troops in exce-3 of the num­ ber regarded as essential to the situa­ tion. One of the objects of Gen. Chaf­ fee’s inquiry was to make prompt pro­ vision for the necessary quarters in thia country for troops not needed in the insular possessions. The regiments destined1 for duty in the Philippines in. 1905? (“eluding the Twenty-first infantry, are the Sixth, Nineteenth. Ninth and Sixteenth regl. meats of infantry. These regiments will sail, respectively, for Manila about January 1. March April 1, May 1 and June 1. relieving from duty i in the Philippines, In the order named, the Eighteenth. Fourteenth, Twentythird, Fourth and Seventeenth regi­ ments of infhntry. On their return ■ the Eighteenth infantry will probably be stationed at Fort Leavenworth, the Fourteenth at Vancouver Barracks, the Twenty-third at Madison Barracks and Fort Ontario, the Fourth at ’’ort Thomas and the Seventeenth at Fort McPherson. $500®?

This Is in ad­ dition to the order for 7,500 tons of the same material now being rolled at the Carnegie mills. One order is from a New York brok­ er for 7,500 tons, while the other is from a San Francisco concern. The specifications are identical.

Three Quarters of a Million Dollars for Army Maneuver*. Washington. Sept. 19.—Playing at war is a cosily amusement. The army maneuvers which were concluded last week at Manassas cost the govern­ ment in round numbers $750,000. The expenses were just about what the War Department had figured on. and unless the damages for injury to the farms over which the kg Idlers tramped run up alarmingly the cost will be within the department's estimate. Congress appropriated $1.0u0,ono last year for the army maneuvers. They ^ere to be held In the West as well as In the East, the War Depart­ ment selecting the southern part of California as the battlefield for the Pacific coast division. The Eastern operations were regarded as more Im­ portant and the bulk of money was allotted for them. The matter was handled by the general staff, which gave $790,000 to the Atlantic division and the balance to the Westerners. y.A 1HE So uniformly successful has Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription proven in all form® of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb, and Leucorrhea, that, after over ’a third of a century's experience in curing the worst cases of these distressing nnd debilitating ailments, Dr. Pierce now feels fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in cash for any case of these diseases which he cannot cure.

"Do It To-day.” The time-worn injunction. “Never put off ’till to-morrow what you can do to-day.” is now generally presented in this form: “Do it to-day!" That is the terse advise we want to give you about that hacking cough or demoraliz­ ing cold with which you have been struggling for several days perhaps weeks. Take some reliable retneky for It to-day—and let that remedy be Dr. Bosehee’s German syrup, which has been io use for over thirty-five years. A few doses will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you com­ pletely. No matter how deep-seated your cough, even if bread consumption has attacked your langs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—as it has done before in thousands of apparently hope­ less cases of lung trouble.

Vol. XXV Nn 17 _ ' ' For Resister or Deed., William R. Harper. Ininin’”’/*”’ t'0m00raJ8 of Barry county In convention assembled placed tn nom­ ination for resister ..t deeds the yming man whoso name Is nt the head of this article, they gave worthy recognition to the young men of the county. They would have had to go far to find a better representative of the younger generation of citizens who have within the last ten years come upon the stage of active life. Horn in Thornapple township in 1876. William R. Harper has been identified all his life with Barry county. He lias been forluuaie in receiving a liberal and practical educa­ tion. He attended the Middleville high school from which he graduated in 1893. He then taught school for two years in Barry and Allegan counties after which he entered the Grand Rapids central high school as a senior, graduating Tn 18%. The following fall he entered the literary department of the Univer­ sity of Michigan which he attended one year. He then assumed the management of the 330acre farm owned by his widowed mother and himself. For two years he was secretary of the Barry County Farmers* institute. He has never sought any ofllce, and has accepted the present nomination with reluc­ tance and at a sacrifice of his personal interest*. It will be seen that Mr. Harper is exception­ ally well qualified for the office of register of deeds and if he is elected there is no doubt that the affairs of that office will be well managed. Moreover the gentlemanly, agreeable manner of the young man will make it pleasant for the public to do business with him when he holds the Important office for which he is running. . » For Judge of Probate. Leonard E. Stauffer. The office of judge of probate involves duties and responsibilities of a peculi­ arly important nature, touching as they do the rights and interests of heirs, widows, children and others who have to do business with this court. The position requires a man of the strictest integrity, of experience, tact and good judgment. It was therefore fortunate for the democratic convention that it was able to prevail upon a man for the nomination for judge of probate who meets the requirements of the place admirably. Leonard E. Stauffer, it is hardly necessary to say, will make a model incumbent of this office if he is successful at the polls in November. Mr. Stauffer is so well known in Barry county that it seems superfluous to say very much about him. Since the early seventies he has been a resident of Hastings and since 1881 he has, until recently, been a business man in this city. During all these years he con­ ducted an honorable, straight forward, and successful business, nuilding up his patronage by fair dealing and courtesy until at the time he retired- from busi­ ness be stood among the very first mer­ chants in this part of the state. Just as I*. E. Stauffer’s name was synonymous with uprightness in the business world, so will his decisions be on the bench of the probate court, if he should be placed in that position. Just ns his business has been managed with good judgment, so will his administra­ tion of the office be distinguished by discretion and conscientious attention. Surely the voters of Barry county will make no mistake if they place such o worthy citizen on the bench of this court for the next four years. Card of Thank*.

Detroit, Mich. , Death of Valentin Leins. After a long and painful illness, Val­ entin Leins, one of Hastings’ oldest cit­ izens, passed away last Thursday night. As long ago as last January bs began to experience pain in his shoulder which continued to grow more severe. At first the trouble was believed to be rheumatic, but not experiencing any relief Mr.-Leins finally went to Grand Rapidsand consulted a leading physi­ cian of that city who diagnosed the case as an^tbscess and advised an immediate operation; The operation brought tem­ porary relief, but a second one was afterwards found necessary, and even that was not effective to stay the pro­ gress of disease. In May Mr. Leins took to his bed and for twenty weeks he gradually failed until the end which came last Thursday night. Valentin Leins was born in Wurtenburg, Germany, Dec. 14tb, 1838. He came to America when he was 14 years old in company with an older sister, go­ ing to Mishawaka, Ind. After a time he went to Marshall, Mich., where he married Miss Louise Hertcorn, who on­ ly lived about a year. One son was born of this union, John Leins, who now lives at Mapleton, la. Soon after the death of his young wife he went back to his native land re­ maining there four years. At the close of this period June "th, 1864, be mar­ ried Lavina Scbmidt and once more set sail far America coming directly to Hastings. He has been a resident of this city ever since, being engaged for a number of years in the meat market business. He retired from active busi­ ness 28 years ago. Six children were born of his second union, two of whom died in Infancy. The four who survive him, together with his wife, are Albert, Mary, Katharine and Frank. All of his children were present at the funeral except John, who lives in Iowa and who failed to receive the telegram in time, being away from home when it came. He reached here Monday. Mr. Leins has crossed the ocean sev­ en times. Six years ago he and his wife spent four months on a visit to the old country, traveling in Germany, Switzerland and Italy. The funeral was held Sunday after­ noon, Rev. Sidney Beckwith officiating with the burial service of the Episcopal church at the house, and Barry Lodge, Na 13, K. of P., of which deceased was a member, escorting the body to the cemetery where the ritual of the order was observed. A large number of citisens turned out to pay their last respects to the memory of an esteemed fellow citizen and friend. William*. A TRAGIC STORY. John Palmer for Senator.

The matter has been favorably passed upon by the committees of ordinances and franchis­ es, and Monday evening was presented to the council by the joint committee.

The ordinance requires the company to pay an annual franchise fee of 8100, prohibits them from combining with any other local electric company or co­ operating in the establishment of uni­ form rates, and contains a clause per­ mitting the company to sell out to another company which will bring a large supply of electricity into Grand Rapids.

Two Hastings young meh went fish­ ing at Long lake Sunday. They did not have any luck fishing but when they came home in the evening they thought tbq buggy acted rather queer.

Fairbairn of Grand Rapids was sentenced last Friday by Judge Smith to Ionia for a term of not more than one year nor less than six months, having been found guilty of obtaining property under false pretenses. He was taken to Ionin Saturday. Several weeks ago Fairbairn traded a team of horses that had been chattel mortgaged with Will Montgomery for a single horse. Later the holder of the chattel mortgage came and took the team away.

The dam of the Thornapple Electric company at LaBarge, which was car­ ried away by the freshets of last March, jind which has been In process of re­ building during the summer, is near­ ing completion. The mason work on the abutments will be finished it is now expected, in about ten days. It will be necessary, however, to let the walls stand a few days before turning on the water. So that it will be about three weeks before Hastings will again be obtaining its supply of electricity from LaBarge. “Flood Tide" tells the story of pure heart Interest, absorbing, dramatic and forceful. Clever and whimsical comedy abound, and is so closely interwoven into the action that laughter and smiles follow rapidly upon scenes of deep emotion. The company presenting thecharacters of the, play have been carefully selected with a view of their respective parts being artistically por­ trayed. Handsome and massive scen­ ery has been provided with a lavish hand and each of the four acts of “Flood Tide" is a marvelous example of mod­ ern stagecraft. Judge Parker’s Letter. No one who reads Judge Parker’s letter of acceptance, which we publish in full elsewhere, in a spirit of candor and fairness, can refuse to acknowledge that it is a sane and patriotic utterance. It may not have the dash and broad­ ness. nor perhaps the literary finish of Mr. Roosevelt's letter; and it certainly has not the self-assertiveness, the boastfulness, the infallible tone of the latter, but there breathes through ft a comprehensiveness, a statesmanlike ap­ preciation of the powers and duties, as well as the limitations, of the presiden­ tial office that show the writer to be a man worthy to be trusted with the highest office of the nation. A comparison of the two letters of ac­ ceptance shows u marked difference in the manner of regarding the province of the national government of these United States, and it is a difference that has always distinguished the two great parties. Mr. Roosevelt shows an impatience oi constitutional restraint and justifies acts of his that are to be regarded as extra-constitutional. if not unconstitutional, by the argument that his intentions were good and the re­ sults satisfactory. He thus defends bls interference in the coal strikes and his extension of the pension laws by exe­ cutive order. He attaches no import­ ance, apparently to the fact that these assumptions of very questionable power form precedents that are dangerous to constitutional government. Judge Parker on the other hand shows a scrupulous regard for the con­ stitution and leaves it beyond question that if elected he will be governed ful­ ly by the spirit and the letter of the supreme law of the land. His letter is an admirable presentation of the prin­ ciples and politics for which his party stands, and ought to be read by every citizen of all parties. It is full of pa­ triotic sentiment and civic wisdom and in every way worthy to be compared with the letter of bis opponent. Sunday night the C., K. & S. excur­ sion train went on from this station to Woodbury for four carloads of track horses which were on their way to Kal­ amazoo. On the return trip the con­ ductor had trouble in collecting fare from fifteen fellows who were either in charge of the horses or were circus fol­ lowers, as they refused to pay. The conductor let them ride but when they arrived in Kalamazoo they were met at the depot by part of the police force, and were placed under arrest. This immediately had the desired effect as The Herald's job printing gives en­ the fares were paid and the fellows tire satisfaction. were released. �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1904.

The attempt was entirely successful. The tariff of that year (1894) was among the causes which in that year and for some Lime afterwards effectually pre­ vented anybody from prospering too much and labor from prospering at all.” This statement is in line with the dec­ laration in tbe republican national platform for 1904 that “a democratic tariff has always been followed by busi­ ness adversity; a republican tariff by business prosperity.” Neitber tbe statement of Mr. Roose­ velt, nor the declaration in the repub­ lican platform Is justified by history. As a matter of fact, every panic dur­ ing tbe last thirty years originated un­ der republican rule and developed un­ der republican legislation. The gold panics which gave history "black Friday" occurred curing the month of September, 1869, when the republican parly was in power. The great panic marked by the fail­ ure of Jay Cook & Co. occurred In Sep­ tember, 1873. Then the republican party had been re-elected to power. It is true the Wilson bill was passed ten yean ago. That was in 1894. But that panic did not originate in 1894; it did not originate in 1893; It began long >rior to the presidential election of 892. That panic originated and reached its worst under that famous tariff law known aa the McKinley bill. —The Commoner. fashion. Apropos of the campaign, It cannot be denied that from this point of view there seems to be an inaction and silence in both parties which amount almost to political paralysis. There will be an awakening next week, but it Is questionable if tbe pending election will cause a degree of excite­ ment equal to that of former quadrennials. But the people are thinking— whether tbe administration has not bad more official malfeasance than need be; whether a tariff is a good thing which enables our manufactured pro­ ducts to be sold in Europe cheaper than they can be bought at home; whether we ought not to give the Filipinos an assurance of ultimate independence or else a territorial organization: whether the present administration has enforced the laws against trusts which the presi­ dent says are '‘ample:’’ whether the rape of Panama was justifiable; wheth­ er legislation from the White House is constitutional; whether the present executive has been careful to obey the law; and, finally, whether eight years are not as much as any party ought to be permitted to remain in power atone time. Mr. Roosevelt complacently an­ swers these questions by- calling all who criticise or oppose him “neurotics.” This, of course, includes tbe distin­ guished President Eliot of Harvard college where be graduated as well as the entire democratic party and an army of independent republicans.

Common Council Proceedings. COLE’S HOT BLAST Wonderful Heater and Fuel Saver Cost of Stove Saved in Fuel As you know over one-half of the available heat in hard coal and soft coal is lost with the ordinary stove. The extent of unbumed gases in hard coal is shown by opening the magazine cover of a base burner when the extra oxygen supplied fills the entire stove with flaming gas. The entire gas supply for both fuel and illumination in many cities and towns is made from ordinary soft coal. Other stoves allow this gas half of the fuel to pass up the chimney unburned thus wasting it as a heat producer, because < they are not gas tight and do not furnish superheated oxygen above ^3 the fuel where the gas is wasting. Guarantee Hot Blast to UMtasa bard coal for beating a given •paca than any base burn­ er with tbe aarae beating 3—We guarantee that the room* can be heated tram one to three hour* The Original Cole’s Hot Blast Stove by means of the Patented Hot. Blast Draft used in connection with other patented features, distills this gas from the upper surface of the coal, utilizing it as a heat producer along with the fixed carbon in the coal, thus making 85.00 worth of hard coal, soft coal or lignite or a •2.00 ton of slack or coal siftings do the work of twice the amount of fuel in other stoves. ’ For Soft Coal or Hard Coal <—We Kturantee that tbe stove will hold tire with soft coal thirty-six hoars, witboat attenUea. 8—We raarantee a aaitana beat day and night, with soft coal, bard coal or lignite. 6—We guarantee every Cole*, Hot Blast Is Air-TIfht and guaranteed to remain so. Imi­ tations open at the seams and leak at the joints, making them fuel eaters rather than fuel savers. Cole's Hot Blast is so perfect in 2k construction that fire keeps all night, and when the draft is opened in the morning will bum two or three hours with the fuel put in the night before. No other stove does this. Fire, therefore, never goes out, and the rooms are kept at an even temperature all the time. 7—We guarantee tbe feed door to be smoke proof end dust proof. The. above fuiramee la' made with the undemanding that lhe stove be operated according to directions, and aet up with a good flue. _ You can enjoy the luxury of getting up in warm rooms every morning and only kindle one fire a year by purchasing a Cole’s Original Hot Blast. The Cost of the Stove is Saved in the Fuel. Read carefully the guarantee which is one that cannot be made on any other stove manufactured in the world. Cole's Hot Blast has many imitations. But they all lack these special features because our stoves are fully patented, and protected. The name, "Cole’s Hot Blast from Chicago*' will be found on the feed door of each stove. Be sure that you get the "Original Hot Blast."

Otherwise we should be appalled and distressed beyond measure by the awful carnage aud un­ speakable suffering that ara attending lhe Russo-Japanese conflict. From such meager details as the contending governments allow to be published tbe world knows that two of the mightiest armies of modern times, armed with lhe most destructive weapons which have ever been Invented, are engaged in butchering each other by the tens of thousands in the valleys and mountain passes of Manchuria or upon the bights •round Port Arthur. With a valor that scorns death whole regiments of Japanese soldiers march in front of Russian batteries to be annihilated in order to give other regiments lime and opportunity to advance over their dead bodies. Kuropatkin’s vast army re­ treat* from position to position only af. ter sacrificing thousands of brave men at every move. Battle ships pierced by the resistless missiles of a modern naval gun, go down and drown a thou­ sand men like rata. Such horrors are briefly and coldly told by the dispatches, but they imply, suffering and torment which cannot be conceived of by those who have never seen the hell of war. The Iroquois fire in Chicago and the Slocum disaster in tbe East river which sent a thrill of horror over this country afford but a faint Illustration of what is going on in Manchuria day after day. All this carnage and suffering, which we can little appreciate because of its remoteness from us, is simply an ex­ ample of what will occur between any two modern nations when they under­ take to settle their differences vi et abmis. If war was “bell” when Gen­ eral Sherman so characterized it, a generation ago, it is even more infernal today when the nations are armed with modern guns, and the slaughter now going on in the far east ought to afford civilized nations a lesson that they can not disregard and call themselves Christians. The principle of arbitra­ tion might have been inveked by Russia and Japan to settle their disputes and the suicidal sacrifices they are uow making thus avoided. In view of tbe possibilities of war to which even our own peace loving na­ tion is subjected it is unfortunate that our international relations have be­ come much more delicate since we have entered upon a world policy and It is because our strenuous president is Im­ petuous and disposed to meddle in the affairs of other nations that many far­ sighted, thoughtful citizens are criti­ cising him as unsafe. His “Big Stick” attitude towards the nations of South America is certainly not re-assuring to the friends of peace. But in this connection it will be en­ couraging to note the action of the In­ ter Parliamentary union which has lately completed its sessions at St. Louis. A resolution was adopted duringt.be meeting requesting the presi­ dent of the Ignited States to invite all the nations to hold a second peace con­ gress at The Hague. This resolution was presented to President Roosevelt by the delegates themselves who wait­ ed upon him at the White House last Saturday for that express purpose and the president gave them his promise that he would comply with the request at an early date. A second Hague convention may be expected to make another such slaugh­ ter as is now shocking civilization im­ possible. He Will Not Be Diverted From His Purpose. As was to be expected the supporters of tbe state machine are trying to di­ vert attention from state issues to na­ tional. They know that they cannot go before the people and justify tne machine. They cannot answer the ar­ guments of Professor Ferris in favor of direct nominations. The only way in which they can hope to stem the tide of opposition which threatens to over­ whelm machinism in Michigan Is to keep the minds of republican voters so p -fcoccupied with national questions that they will forget all about the evils that exist in the state. So they are very solicitous to know what Mr. Ferris thinks on national issues and are osten­ tatiously calling upon him to define his views in these particulars. The democratic candidate is too shrewda man to be caught by any such trick. He has entered upon this cam­ paign solely for the purpose of over­ throwing the vicious system of politics which prevails Id Michigan, and of re­ storing to the people the right of self government, and he is not to be tempt­ ed from his purpose by the sophistries of his cunning opponents. His election or his defeat will not affect the' tariff question, nor the trust evil, nor the policy of the United States in any re­ spect whatever, but it will affect the question of whether the people of Mich­ igan ere going to govern themselves or be governed by a ring of politicians. The battle which the schoolmaster candidate is fighting appeals to the people of all parties. He is contending for tbe principle of representative government, which in this state has become a farce under the caucus and convention system; for the abolition of the free pass custom which is a petty species of bribery; for economy in the administration of state offices, for an equitable system of state taxation. These questions do not concern the po­ litical fortunes of Mr. Roosevelt or of Mr. Parker in the least degree, but they do Involve the rights, the inter­ ests, the responsibilities of every citi­ zen in Michigan whether he is a repub­ lican, or democrat, prohibitionist or populist. It is not to be inferred, however, that Mr. Ferris has no views on national questions or is afraid to discuss them. He is not tbe kind of a man that runs away from the enemy or is unable to give a reason for the faith that is in him. He simply has entered upon a mission that calls for all his energies in a different sphere of action from nation­ al politics. His high purpose is to res­ cue the government of Michigan from its despoilers and restore it to the peo­ ple. Knowing that there is a sore spot rankling in the body politic be de­ clares “I am not to be got in a place where they can cover up tbe sore. I shall stick to it to the end of tbe cam­ paign, that our troubles are in Michi­ gan and that they must be settled,” and republicans and democrats are go­ ing to work together to settle them. The Real Point of Difference. The complaint of Fred M. Warner and his friends that be is being treated unfairly is not well founded. No one has attacked bis personal character, no one denies that he is a pleasant gen­ tleman or an honest man in the affairs of business and private life. No one even charges him with wrong inten­ tions in public life. No word spoken concerning him by Professor Ferris or other opponents can be construed into misrepresentation of him in this respect. The fact is simply this: Mr. Warner is the product of tbe machine and if elected will be dominated by the ma­ chine. His intentions may be good. He may desire to give the people such legislation as they are asking for, but his creators and owners will not let him do anything that will curtail their own power, as a genuine primary law would undoubtedly do. If he is elected wo must expect to see such men as At­ wood and Doherty and Navin and Kel­ ley, and Glazier constituted his chief advisers. Will such men os these leg­ islate the machine out of existence? It may be contended that Mr. Warn­ er as governor will not be led by the machine. But how can he do other­ wise than recognize the men who placed him in power? Can he be so ungrateful as to turn his back upon the men to whom he owes so much? Cer­ tainly, it is not to be expected that he will. Such a supposition is unnatural. There can therefore be no doubt that tbe election of Mr. Warner means the perpetuation of machine government and this is the consideration that must not be lost sight of. It makes no dif­ ference what a nice man Mr. Warner is. It may be conceded that he is a paragon of goodness and sweetness and no one is trying to rob him cf any of his virtues as a private citizen. But the fact still remains that his election means n continuation of machine rule at Lansing. On the other hand Woodbridge N. Ferris is not the creation of a machine. If elected governor he will not bo handicapped by any obligation except to the people of Michigan, for he has made no promises except to serve them. He did not seek the office: the office sought him. Personally, he is every whit as good a man as Mr. Warner and hi* capacity to serve the state well will be infinitely greater because he will be absolutely free from political or per­ sonal obligations. His election with a legislature that will co-operate with him means genuine primary reform, and a strictly economical and business­ like administration. In other words, the point Is simply this: Mr. Warner, in spite of good personal qualities, will not and can not give the people of Michigan any relief from machine domination; Mr. Ferris can and unquestionably will. Can there be any hesitation in deciding which is the man to vote for? NEW FALL GOODS We have the Prettiest line of Dress Goods and Trimmings ever shown in Barry county. Come and see for yourself. It costs nothing to look. The best line of Underwear that you have ever seen. Our new Blankets are all in and we have them from One of the most insidious and danger­ ous foes of good government is the spir­ it of “graft” which pervades our legis­ lative bodies, from boards of supervisors and city councils to coagrees. It is es­ pecially prevalent in state leislatures and in the common councils of large cities where much legislation affecting railroads, street railways and other big corporations has to be passed upon. These big corporations feel called upon to protect their interests by influencing the men who make laws to vote as they wanton those measures that concern them. This influence may be legiti­ mate, but more often it takes some form of bribery, such as political preferment,, patronage, passes or money.I It is a most unfortunate fact that many men find thoir way into legisla­ tive bodies, who while intending to bo honest and who enjoy a reputation for being upright in private life are sus­ ceptible to some of tne more disguised forms of bribery which the professional lobbyists, employed by tbe big corpor­ ations, know so well how to use. One of tbe commonest kinds of such bribery is Involved in the so-called free pass system. It is ostensibly such a kindly, courteous, generous thing on the part of railroads to tender the honorable legislators the courtesy of free trans­ portation over their lines, and such an apparently unimportant matter for the honorable members to accept the cour­ tesy that very few of them are proof against the temptation. And yet a careful analysis of motives and consequences ought to convince any man endowed with common sense that such courtesies are in reality a form of bribery. Men in public office who accept them are not in a position to act impartially and justly in dealing। with legislation which affects the cor­ porations they are considering. They ■urrender their independence, and prejudice their judgment when they accept these favors. As servants of the people, chosen to conserve the rights of all the people and to guard against the encroachments of special, powerful in­ terests, upon tbe welfare of tbe masses, they cannot accept these favors without betraying their trust. It is because the evils of the free pass custom are fully appreciated by Prof. Ferris that he so strongly endorses the plank in the democratic platform that condemns such custom. In striking contrast to Mr. Warner, who acknowl­ edges that he has been in the habit of using railroad passes in the past bu now says he ‘'thinks” he will give it up if elected governor, |Mr. Ferris says, “It is not a question of whether I THINK I'll not ride on a pass if I am elected. I won’t whether I am governor or pathinaster.” And every one that knows the schoolmaster candidate knows that he will do what he says be will. A full line of Banner patterns in stock.

At a speeial meeting pf Hustings Chapter. No. 7, O. E. S. Tuesday night the following officers were installed for the ensuing year: W. M., Mrs. Grace Bauer. W. P., John Payne. A. M. Mrs. Allie Willison. Sec., Mrs. M. J. Timmerman. Treas.. Mrs. L. C. Brosseau. C , Mrs. Effie Thomas. A C., Mrs. Iva Tilman. Adah, Miss Maud Kelley. Ruth, Mrs. Emma Murdock. Esther, Mrs. Mary Fuller. Martha, Mrs Edna Payne. x Electa, Mrs. Sarah Cannom. ' Chaplain, Mrs. Etta Wykom. Marshal. Miss Achsa Blanchard. Organist, Mrs. Supha Wood. Warder, Mrs. Prudence Nobles. Sent., John Mate. . After the Installation, Mrs. Allie Willison, in behalf of the chapter, pre­ sented Mrs. Bauer and Mr. Payne with handsome emblematic pins. These of­ ficers have held their respective posi­ tions for four years and tbe order has greatly prospered under their adminis­ tration. ' After the chapter closed the sisters and brothers were given a rare aud un­ expected musical (?) treat by tbe “band.” The striking appearance of these musicians, tbeir picturesque cos­ tumes and graceful deportment were quite in keeping with the exquisite, dis— harmony which they made and stamped them as artists of a high or­ der— perhaps. At any rate their ap­ pearance created a great sensation and will not soon be forgotten. The hall was beautifully decorated with flowers, autumn leaves and red berries, while over the worthy matron’s station was suspended a large fivepointed star made of flowers and leaves. The evening was pleasantly closed with the serving of icecream and cake. and Sunday while Daly was in Hast­ ings they drove out to Carlton Center, nnd while one of them engaged the young clerk in conversation in front of the store the other broke in at the back door and took possession. They had a wagon ready nnd proceeded to load in a lol of goods. In the meant line the people of the neighborhood got wind of what was going on and gather­ ed nt the store. When they saw what was being done they made the two De­ troiters desist and the latter drove away with their booty to the north­ ward. As Mr. Daly was doing business prin­ cipally on borrowed capital be knew that this course by his Detroit cred­ itors would precipitate matters and that he would be obliged to quit busi­ ness. So he disposed of lhe remainder of the stock to Fred I.. Heath, who held a chattel mortgage on it, nnd the goods have been delivered to Mr. Heath. The Detroit lawyer who look such drastic measures to collect his clients' claim mny be a good lawyer, but it looks rather strange to a layman that the law permits bills to be collected in any such cavalier way. Mr. Daley claims that if they had let him alone he would have paid his obligations and pulled through all right, as he was do­ ing a good business.

Lost Sunday night during the severe wind and electrical storm Edward Lanfe&r. nightwatchman at the Hastings Woodworking Co.’s factory, and James Shay had an experience, lhe conse­ quence of which might have proved fatal. A secondary wire of the electric light company was blowp down upon a primary wire and in so doing caused a flicker in the incandescent light which was turned on in the factory. Lan fear thinking that the bulb was partially un­ screwed, went to tighten it. Instantly his hand was held as firmly as If In a vise. The primary wire in coming in contact with the secondary caused a current of 2200 volts to pass through tbe wire in the factory through which ordina rily passed a current of 120 volts. Of course tbe insulation was not re­ quisite for,such a high voltage and there was a leakage. It was with this leakage that Lan fear came in connec­ tion. Shay at once went to bls assist­ ance and, grasping the wire, was rendered unconscious by the shock. In falling he tore the wire from the cell­ ing, thus breaking the current. He re­ vived In a few minutes. Lanfear’s right ' * hand was quite badly burned. BRIDGE STREET. F. J. Thomas and wife went to Ohio QUIMBY. Sunday for a two weeks* visit. C.

No. 18 ELOQUENT PLEA FOR REFORM A CANDIDATE FERRIS MADE SPLEN­ DID IMPRESSION. Spoke at Reed’s Opera House Satur­ day Night to A Big end Apprecia­ tive Audience. * fiat? p L‘ r • ■ Woodbridge N. Ferris, democratic candidate for governor, closed a stren­ uous week of campaigning by speaking at Reed’s opera house in this city Sat­ urday night. He had begun the day by speaking in the open air at Jackson, following it up by an hour’s talk at Nashville in the afternoon, and yet he made his plea for reform at the third meeting with the fire and energy char­ acteristic of the man. Notwithstanding the threatening weather, the opera house was filled to its limit, there being many ladies in the audience. As in all his speeches Mr. Ferris confined his whole attention to state issues, and used of course the same line of .argument here as elsewhere, and yet no two of his speeches are alike. He sgeaks without notes, except a brief memorandum of a few points he wants to make in answer to objections that have been raised against a primary law. But he is a speaker of experience, thoroughly at home before an audience, and he comes before the people with a message which appeals to them because of its timeliness and its importance. During the hour and more that he spoke be held the closest attention and sympathy of his hearers and when he had finished many stayed to shake hands with him and to assure him of their support, among whom were re­ publicans as well as democrats. In fact his experience in Hastings and Nash­ ville was the same as everywhere else. Thousands of republicans, disgusted with the machine, are rallying to the support of the schoolmaster candidate, and unless the supporters of Mr. War­ ner can quickly turn the'tide It will sweep the state on election day. Mr. Ferris makes no appeal to par­ tisanship, but bases his arguments on the broad principles of good citizenship. He makes no attack upon wealth or cor­ porations as such, but upon the abuse of wealth and the encroachments of cor­ porations upon the rights of others. He casts no aspersions upon his opponents but appeals to republicans and demo­ crats alike to support ths policy of di­ rect nominations because such a policy will do away with the evils that have crept into the convention system. He denounced the use of money in elections and declared that there should be a chance for every man to become a can­ didate if he wished without the expen­ diture of money. He criticised the state tax commission for taxiug railroads on a different basis from other property and said that If this commission is to be continued it ought to be elected by the people. He condemned the custom of giving passes to public officials and said that be had never ridden on a pass in his life and never should. He answered the objection that di­ rect nominations would be expensive by calling attention to the present cor­ rupt method of buying nominations with the check book. It may . be said that this expense doesnot fall upon the people, but it does something worse, it debauches public morals. People say that the proposed primary election wlH make two elections instead of one and the voters will not attend. Mr. Ferris does not believe that the voters will be so lacking in public spirit as to neglect this duty, but thinks that such conting­ ency can be provided for by making the right to vote at a final election con­ ditional upon voting at the primary. Finally he showed the sincerity of his position by declaring it would be better to vote for a republican condidate who favors primary reform than for a democrat who opposed it. Ferris at Nashville. The political meeting at Nashville lost Saturday afternoon in the interest of Woodbridge N. Ferris was one of the most enthusiastic and successful gatherings of the kind held in that vil­ lage in many years. Although after­ noon meetings are not generally very well attended, the opera house was filled, there being about as many re­ publicans as democrats in the audience. Hon. Perry Mayo of Calhoun county, a prominent and lifelong republican who happened io be visiting in Nash­ ville, was the first speaker, and he made a very effective plea for primary re­ form and Ferris. Mr. Ferris spoke for about an hour and dealt some telling blows for good government in state affairs. When the meeting adjourned many in the audi­ ence stayed to shake hands with Mr. Ferris and promise him their support and it was significant that about a* manv republicans as democrats were in the line. HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1904. Hastings Loses to Kalamazoo. The high school football eleven played their first game Saturday after­ noon with the Kalamazoo high school and although they were pitted against a team which had had the ad vantage of several weeks of coaching with more material to pick from, and hud already played several games this season, held the visitors to a score of 16 to 0. Both teams were about evenly matched as to weight but the Kalama­ zoo lads got their plays off faster and hit the lino harder which accounted for their victory. Most of their games were made by line plunges. Kalamazoo made their first touch­ down in the first half after ten minutes of play. They kicked goal. Five min­ utes later the second touchdown. No goal. In the second half they were able to score only once, failing to kick goal. Hastings played a very creditable game considering the fact that it was the first game over half of the men had ever been in. With more experience the team gives promise of developing into quite a strong aggregation. The line up of the teams was as follows: Hastings Kalamazoo McGuiness LE Clark Cook LT Garrison Burroughs LG Oliver Reams Winslow C Wilcox RG Nichols Ironside RT Hargie Crook RE Bennett Hams Watson Q Lambie LH Meyers Michael RH Brumage Fox FB Ford Summary: Tou cbdo w ns—Garrison, Hargie, Ford. Umpire —Crandall. Referee—Davis of Albion, Time of halves—20 minutes. LIGHTNING'S FATAL WORK. A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY BURN­. ED TO DEATH.

Two years ago Mr. Walker was elected prosecuting attorney of Barry county by u majority of 181, running 756 ahead of his ticket and carrying every ward in this city. There is no reason why, with two years of experience in the prosecutor’s office, he should not receive a still larger majority this fall than he did two years ago. He has been a good and faithful servant of Lhe people dur­ ing the past two years, and is entitled to a second term. Fred W. Walker was born in Allegan county and has lived in Barry county since early boyhood. He is a self-made man, teaching school and earning his owp way through college, and his life has been as it were an open book, known of all people of this city and county and his wide popularity is the best testi­ monial of his worth. Mr. Walker is a graduate of the law department of the University of Michi­ gan and has practiced his profession in this city for the past ten years, having been city attorney for four years. He is a man of integrity and ability, faith­ ful in the discharge of his duties, and though still a young man, has reached a maturity of judgment and attained a knowledge of practical affairs that makes his services valuable to the peo­ ple. Surely the voters will recognize that their own interests os well as jus­ tice to a faithful public servant, demand that Mr. Walker be re-elected’ to his present office.

Coming somewhat In the light of a man endorsing his own note, or felici­ tating himself, is a letter published recently in Paris from the pen of former Minister Bunau-Varilla, sus­ taining President Roosevelt’s course in the Panama coup. Inasmuch as Minister Bunau-Varilla was Mr. Roosevelt’s guide and ally in the snap judgment taken upon the Re­ public of Colombia, and Inasmuch also as he was one of the chief beneficiaries under the whole transaction, he could hardly do less than applaud the act.

Among tbe advantages which the di­ rect nomination of candidates will have over the caucus and convention system it is tbe purpose of this article to call attention to two that are well worth considering. First, it will secure better nomina­ tions. On tbe stale ticket, for example, tbe convention system concentrates all efforts and all public interest on 'the head of the ticket. We need go no further back than the late conventions for nominating state officers to illustrate this tendency. All the talk in the pa­ pers and among tbe politicians was about Warner and Stearns and Hor­ ton and Smith and the rest who were anxious to wear Gov. Bliss’s shoes; and on tbe democratic side, the all absorb­ ing question was, who shall be put up against Warner? There was no inter­ est in tbe other places on the tickets, although as a matter of fact tbe other offices in the state government are al­ most equally important, so far as the welfare of the people is concerned. When tbeconventlon is called together the interest in tbe gubernatorial nomi­ nation is intense, but as soon as that Is settled, tbe other places are filled In a careless, indifferent and slipshod sort of a way that makes it possible for very weak men frequently to obtain offices which really demand high qualifica­ tions. It Is easy to see that under the direct .nominating system, which Professor Ferris is fighting for, all candidate* for each office will have to be considered by the voters when they go into the booth on primary election day. They will have to decide on a fit candidate for auditor general and for superin­ tendent of public instruction as well as a fit man for governor. And when it comes to county nominations they will be required to choose suitable men for coroners and circuit court commission­ ers as well as for sheriff and probate judge. These conditions will prompt men who want to run for office to ad­ vertise themselves thoroughly before the day of the primaries, and the vot­ ers, knowing that they will have to ex­ press their choice on aL of them, will be inclined to weigh the qualifications of all aspirants for office before they go into the booth. Secondly, the primary election sys­ tem will create a deeper public interest in civic affairs than obtains under the present system. This benefit grows out of the conditions we have already touched upon. When the people are obliged to select their own candidates without delegating this duty to the professlonal politicians they will naturally take more pains to inform themselves upon political matters and to keep in touch with them. True, they may make mistakes. Their judgment will not be infallible, of course, but it will be tru­ ly representative a~d the people them­ selves will be responsible for the conseouences of their own mistakes. This directness of responsibility will stimu- Warner. Did he not at that lime offer a plank that embodied the principle of genuine primary reform and was not his effort to thus save the honor of his party defeated by the delegates con­ trolled by the machine? How can Mr. Smith reconcile his bold stand for primary reform then with his support of sham reform now? Was he wrong last May or is he wrong now? Was he sincere Chen or is he sincere now? Does he believe that the miser- • able makeshift for reform which his; party adopted at Detroit will absolve ' the party from its promise to give the ' people the genuine article? Or has the genial politician from I Grand Rapids stifled his real con vic-1 tlons on this matter for the sake of ex- j pediency, placing success of machine ■ government above the interests and the demands of the people? Perhaps William Alden Smith will answer these questions when he makes his plea for Fred M. Warner and the machine tomorrow night. Perhaps he will be able to show how it is possible to be a true friend of real primary re­ form and at the same time vote and work to perpeluate machine rule. • NEW FALL GOODS There is some reason for thinking that tbe bloody campaign now drawing to a close in the fur east will be the We have the only one of the war.

Ferri# Is n ripe scholar, yet belongs to that rare class of scholars who acquire useful knowl­ edge to the end of tbelr day#. He may n-t have the "money wit." He mny not be calculated to shine ns a victor In this age of commercialism when men accumulate millions where they only earn thousands, or should be iu the penitentiary. It Is not in him to run a comer, float a worthless enter­ prise.on watered stock, build up a bad trust, or work a graft. Yet no man can see more clearly the results to which these evils tend, tbe grinding Injustice that goes with them: their inevitable tendency to a government by and of centralized wealth, and the ultimate overthrow of our distinguishing insti­ tutions. Just ns a guide for tbe future, what this man of large learning and small pretensions ba# to say should bold a permanent place In tbe political litera­ ture cf Michigan. He lins n distinctive. Individual, characteristic form of thought and expression. He conveys the iuo#t striking truths In the simplest language. Without passion or prejudice he goes to the merits of a tremendous struggle in u few brief paragraphs. He thinks straight to the bull’s eye and mark* the way with Irrefutable logic, after the manner of Franklin, Jeffer­ son and Lincoln. His speech Is like that of the latter, rugged, direct, felicit­ ous. and so Instinct with truth that ttfe veriest cynic cannot suspect an ulterior purpose. The happily chosen leader of th» State Democracy 1# in strong and pleasing contrast to the practical poli­ ticians, tools, sycophants and time­ servers—some of them in a double sense—whom the people of this State have tried In vain to reform, by whom they have been buncoed and robbed year after year, and to whom they have patiently paid millions for which all the expert accountants In the world could not find an adequate return. He I* broad, charitable nnd sympathetic. He loves the right for Itself as well as for the good that its application would bring to hl* fellow citizens; and no man lias a more discriminating knowl­ edge'as to what right is. It would be utterly Impossible for him to surrender hl# Independence to the keeping of a machine or the powers of Incorporated wealth, for he la utterly without the servility requisite to such an allegiance and incapable of doing anything .with­ out the stimulus of an approving con­ science. It is well known of his Inti­ mates that he would not have accepted the nomination lie now bolds had not tbe platform of hi# party stood for those things through which the re­ demption and salvation of the State must be sought His consent place* be­ fore the people a personal embodiment of the principles they would establish that government Integrity may be en­ throned in Michigan. ' THE RAILWAY CONSPIRACY. An article on railway conspiracy was given the press on Jnne 7 by Hon, J. S. Stearns that created a sensation Ji> political circles. In substance Mr. Stearns showed thnt soon after the re­ tirement of Governor Pingree from of­ fice and State politic* the railroads be­ gan scheming to nullify the laws Mr. Pingree had largely succeeded in plac­ ing on the statute hooks. The first step was to And a tool to occupy the Gov­ ernor's chair, and tens of thousands of dollars were contributed by the rail­ way* to aecure Mr. Bliss* election, knowing ho could be relied upon to lend asKlstunce In corporatlonlzlng tbe administrative boards, bureaus and commission*. The Legislature of 1901, responsive to the scheme* of crafty politicians, tool: from township boards their time-honored power of appointing census enumerators and placed the au­ thority in the bands of Secretary of State Warner, who at that early date was a candidate for Governor to suc­ ceed Mr. Bliss. This was subsequently followed by the appointment of form­ er Senator Atwood, who had represent­ ed the railroads at Lansing, as Rail­ road Commissioner. A year afterward Commissioner Atwood advised two State Tax Commissioners to yield to the request of Attorney Butterfield, of the Michigan Central Railway to ex­ ecute affidavits to be used against the State in a suit then and now in court Tbl# is the same Atwood who mar­ shaled the machine forces In support of Fred M. Warner's candidacy for the Republican gubernatorial nomination'. It was doubtless hl# knowledge of At­ wood's activity In behalf of Warner, and. of tbe powerful corporate influ­ ences behind tbe Railroad Commission­ er. that led Robert Oakman, now of the Detroit United Railway Company, to boastfully aasert. nt a meeting iu Oak­ land County, that the supporters of Mr. Warner for Governor would have dol­ lar* while Mr. Stearns woul£ only have cents In his fight to secure the Repub­ lican nomination. HIE BACKING 18 THE GREAT TROUBLE. Apropos to tbe discussion between the Detroit New# and the Detroit Jour­ nal concerning alleged attacks upon the character of Fred M. Warner, the Detroit Free* Press, of ’ September 22, said In a strong editorial: • • * "Has the machine candi­ date been the subject of cruel and venomous attacks? Is It cruel and venomoas to saj* that he holds opinion with Doherty and Atwood and Sayre and Baird? Is It impugning hie hon­ esty to say he I# against direct vot­ ing? !■ it cruel to aver that be appointed census enumerators? I# It [ malicious to assert that he trains with the machine, that he is on the ticket I with Maitland, that he indorse* Bliss, that he travels on a pns*. that ho Is of the clique that loves the corporations? The Free Pros# hns snld these things to the end that the ]>eoplp might be In­ formed of the manner of candidate the machine hn# nominated, to the end that the voters may vote intelligently, to the end that there may be a correction of the political and governmental Ills that have cursed Michigan for four years. The New* hns said them for presumably the same purpose. Careful readings of that paper, denounced for leadership In the work of 'pursing Mr. Warner.' hu# failed to reveal anything but open condemnation of the con­ demnable machine aud justified conelusion thnt the nominee of that cor­ rupt organization Is not entitled to tho Ths Story of a Strenuous, Uceful support of any decent and honest citlLife. * zct. no matter what the nominee's per­ sonal character and qualifications for the office may be. In fnct. tbe News has been unusually circumspect ond HONEST, ABLE, COURAGEOUS self-restrained in tbe face of vlouat provocation aud most tempting oppor­ tunity." . A Thorough Believer In Equality­ FOLK AND FERRIS HAVE MUCH IN Special Favors Never Have .Been COMMON. A SKETCH OF FERRIS (From the Saginaw News.) Folk’s anti-corruption campaign Is progressing with every prospect that he will be elected Governor of Missouri by one of the largest. If not Indeed the largest, plurality ever given In that State. As an Indication of the popu­ larity his candidacy has already at­ tained It may be noted that it has been Indorsed by the St. Louis Good Govern­ ment Club, which Is Republican In Na­ tional politics, and by Chauncey I. Fil­ ley. who was formerly at the head of the Republican party in Missoun. There is every Indication that Wal­ bridge, the Republican nominee, will not begin to hold the normal Repub­ lican vote. Mr. Folk con therefore af­ ford to face without flinching the open or secret hostility of the Democratic ring, which attempted to prevent hl* nomination and which 1* believed to be resorting to underhand methods In tbe hope of reducing his majority or ac­ complishing his defeat. The normal Democratic majority in Missouri Is about 50,009. and with tbe Republican support which is being rapidly and gen­ erally pledged to Mr. Folk there Is not the slightest doubt that be will be elected by an overwhelming plurality. The campaign in Missouri In fact is progressing with little taint of parti­ sanship. The reason Is that it is a fight of the decent, honest and Intelligent ■people against machine methods and corruption, boodle and fraud in Gov­ ernment. Mr. Folk ba# raised himself to the leadership of the majority party by daring to stand for that which ir right and honorable In civic life as against a powerful political gang which has stood for bossism. graft and gov­ ernment by corporation proxies. The machine- has done its best to unseat him, but in vain. He ha* defied it and his victory In the fight for decent gov­ ernment Is assured. Michigan Is making the same fight It happens that a member of tbe min­ ority party, a believer In the doctrine* of tbe Democratic party Jn national af­ fair#, has been elevated to th leader­ ship of that element of citizens which is trying to institute reform Govern­ ment in this State. Party lines are wiped out by the very nature of the is­ sue—which is simply Good Govern­ ment v*. Corrupt Government—admin­ istration of the State's affairs by tbe People v*. Machine rule—nomination of public officials by ballot vs. corpora­ tion tools. Woodbridge N. Ferris, If elected Governor, will be the same Implacible foe to graft, corruption and machine methods In* Michigan that Jo­ seph W. Folk is in Missouri. He seeks the support of tbe same element In this state that the famous reformer has enlisted in Missouri. His elec­ tion will be the mean* of securing many of the blessings of self-govern­ ment and equitable administration of public affair* in Michigan which are already well within the grasp of Missourk THE STATE GRANGE ON PRIMARY ELECTION REFORM. Proceedings of the 31st Annual Ses­ sion, 1903. The Grange as an organization la ab­ solutely democratic in Its recognition of citizen right*. It Is very natural, therefore, that it stands for the. pro­ tection of such rights whenever there is conclusive evidence that they arc being abridged or set aside. The Grange early espoused the cause of primary election reform. Our people rejoiced when the question had attain­ ed such prominence as to receive the endorsement of many public men. prominent newspaper* of the Sate, and furthermore when both of (he lending political (Kirtle# felt In duty Ixnind to tbe people to the extent of giving the question favorable endorsement In tbelr respective pintforms. As tbe rei»ort from our Legislative Committee wjll show, tiie position of the Grange on the question was ably presented aud tenaciously urged before the last legislature. It is a matter of history that, notwithstanding the almost unan­ imous support of the people of the State, no law intended to remedy the evils of caucus manipulation was passed by that body. inasmuch as the Grange is contend­ ing for the principle of citizen author­ ity more than it Is for the wording of the law, it can do no better than to ex­ press itself at thi# session, re-asserting Its position on tbe question, and thus be prepared for the next hearing. Con­ tinued agitation of the needs of leglslation to pot out of business the few men who, through questionable methods, seek to manipulate the rights, and to “deliver" the many, will surely result favorably,. for it is backed by justice and right. The lesson should be plainly taught that an intelligent people are not so much in need of #elfassnmed leader# os they are of good ami dutiful servants. DEMOCRATIC ETATE CONVENTION DECLARED FOR PRIMARY REFORM IN 1902. “We therefore declare tbe supreme Issue In tbe State at this time to he the destruction of 'boss’ rule, the res­ toration of political jiower to the peo­ ple. and its employment for the good of ail, instead of for the advantage of the few.” "To this end we nre In favor of leg­ islation by wuich primary election# of all parties for the direct nomination of candidates shall 1m» held at the same time and places under the supervision of jiublie official# and regulated by law.” • - and Never Will Be Granted by Him. W. N. Ferris was l>orn January li. 1833, at Spencer, New York, a son of John and Stella Ferris. His youth was iMisaed amid circumstance* that served to develop at an eurly age the forces of character that seem equal to facing any emergency with calm, cour­ ageous resolve.

WHY OUR TAXES PILE UP. (From the Saginaw News.) It Im um’Icss for the advocates of iniielilne rule to attempt to evade the arguments now being used by the over­ burdened taxpayer# to oust them from political power for u while, until It din be seen what economical rule will do In Michigan. The figure# cn'inot be disputed. They speajt volumes, nnd The Nows doesn't pr-j|»o#e to go Into long argument in presenting them.

PINGREE SAID THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SHOULD BE LICKED. The late Governor Pingree, In the fall of 19U0, speaking of the Republi­ can railroad combine that bad posses­ sion of Michigan's affair#, said among other things regarding the Republican party: “I think it might be a good thing If Michigan had a Democratic Legislature once more.

PIERSON G SON. g �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1904 BUTE FLEET REftOI TO MIL TAVIS ISSUES LETTER Czar Going to Reval to Bld Elkina, W. Va., Oct. 3.—Henry G. Davis, Democratic nominee for vice iresidanL has forwarded his letter of acceptance to John f-harp Williams, 2i.airman of the notification commit­ tee named by the St. l ouis conven­ tion. The letter begins by stating thnt the time is ripe for n change. It then declares that the expenses of the government are too high, mentioning lhe army and navy as the principal sources of national extravagance. He denounces the part ta’-en by the Unit­ ed Sftes forces in securing the inde­ pendence of Panama. He nevertheless ;Applauds the progress made in get­ ting lhe canal under way. Touching the tariff, he declares that the duty is too high on many articles. He declares that steel rails made in this country are being sold in the United States for $28 a ton nnd in for­ eign countries for 318 a ton. This, he says, is a great injustice to the people—or to the consumers of steel rails. He believes that the consum­ ers of steel rails can be relieved by the Democratic parly if it gets into ower. As to trusts, be says there nre 200 of them, but that all of them are not pernicious and strike breeding. He declares that most of them have grown up since the Democratic party was relieved of power in 1897. In discussing self government, he asserts that the sovereignty of respec­ tive states should not be encroached upon by the national government and that race hatred is manufactured by the Republican party. He strongly indorses The Hague tribunal and says it will work for the world’s peace. The postal frauds are taken up at some length and the candidate de­ clares It his belief that congress ad­ journed so as to shut off further in* qr'-y into the charges affecting the Southwestern land offices. Referring to civil service, he ac­ cuses Republican office-holders gener­ ally of doing campaign work while under pay of the people for doing the people's work. ‘ He winds up his let­ ter with a brief tribute to Judge Parker.

After frothing nt the mouth and run­ ning around, the dog was seized with convulsions. Coming out of this fit, he lay quiet for a few minutes, then attacked his master. Mr. Rowe beat It off with the poker. For half an hour the dog attacked Mr. Rowe and writhed in convulsions by turns. Then Mr. Rowe escaped from the room nnd shot the dog through a window.

Our only regret Is that there is need of some more. We want good farmer girls as well as boys. We must all lack somewhere or there would be more pleasure in look­ ing the woods and fields over. But in­ stead of a pleasure it seems to be a horror to a great many on account of so many poisonous weeds and shrubs. Why can we not get rid of such obnox­ ious rubbish? The farmers like to call at tbe city, and view it over, then boast of “our fine city,” But, farmers, how about tbe city, can they boast of a line day’s outing on our farms? We should all try and make it so from a farmer’s standpoint. BRANCH SCHOOL VICINITY. Fred Greenfield and family of Nash­ ville spent Sunday with Fred Williams.

During the winters of 1357-8-9 he taught in the district scliool, and dur­ ing the rritialiilng portion of these years he studied law nt Watertown.

Wns also president of the village in 1S7L nnd a member of the legislature of 1871 and 1872. In 1874 lie was elected prosecuting attorney of Ottawa County.

In 1880 he was appoint­ ed Assistant United States Attorney slightest hint which would permit them to brand ns enemies to the public good, men who are now or have been in any way eonnei.-ted with lhe politi­ cal affaii.. of my party." There i< no possible routn for mis­ taking the identity of either lhe newspapers or the "men <>f my party" to whom Mr. Warner refers in tho above passage. Tho "ghoulish" newspapers are the Detroit Evening News ami the Detroit Tribune. They nre the only i newspapers in Michigan which have | “sent their agents and representatives j to the home communities of men ■ whose names are connected with the ' afi’alrs (machine affairsi of my Ulis' | party" for the purpose of gaining nc- I curate information regarding their character and methods as political I leaders. Now- the names of lite men ■ whose home eommunlties wore visited i with tills perfectly legitimate and highly laudable object in view are Theron W. Atwood. ex-Nlncteener and present railroad commissioner; Al­ fred .1. Doherty, the "Bell Cow" sena­ tor from the Twenty-eighth district; Johnny Baird, tbe Don t-Give-a-Damn statesman from the Twenty-second district: and Thomas .1. Navin, the boss of tlie machine contingent in De­ troit. It is hardly necessary to say that the “agents and representatives" of tbe two Detroit newspapers per­ formed their task with a thorough­ ness and skill that left nothing to be desired from either u Journalistic or n pro hono publico standpoint. They gave particularly faithful and Illumin­ ating accounts of the personal charac­ teristics, the political methods, and tin* public records of these distin­ guished Republican bosses and selfseekers—"the men behind me." Their pen-pictures of Atwood, Doherty, Navin. Baird et al. evoked widespread admiration for their life-like accuracy and artistic finish. Of course they did not seek to depict "only that which was bad and unworthy"—as Candidate Warner charges In his speech,—but a decent regard for the truth conqielled them to portray some things in a light which made them appear "had am! unworthy." As the men whom the "ghouls" wrote up never saw fit to challenge the correctness of what was printed about them in the News and Tribune. It is pretty late In the day for their mnchlne-made candidate for gov­ ernor to try to create a little sympa­ thy for himself by plaintively alleging that he Is being hit over their shoul­ ders. However, we should be very grateful to Mr. Warner for letting us know Just who are bls friends for whose personal character and political fame hr exhibits such a jealous solidtudr. EDWIN R. SMITH.

Warner for Governor CAHLL’S EXPOSURE OF SCHEME The State Census Bureau Was Orjar.- izc-1 Three Years Ahead of Time to Boom Warner. Judge Edward Cahill, tho distin­ guished Republican cx-Justice of the Supreme Court, has aptly described the slick method employed by the ma­ chine managers to place Fred M. War­ ner nt the head of the Republican State ticket. The following is an ex­ tract from lhe speech of the ex-Jus­ tice delivered at a great primary re­ form meeting held in loosing on Se]ttember 15: "Does anyone suppose that Mr. War­ ner was selected as a candidate for Governor because of his distinguished services to the public? Of course everyone knows better than that. I shall not attempt to tell you of all the influences that were operative in his favor, but I will briefly call to your mind facts which will help at least to explain how Fred Warner ever came to be thought of as Gov­ ernor. and how he came to be nomi­ nated. "Mr. Warner was a State senator from January 1, 1895, to January 1, 1899. While he was In the senate In 1897, two very astute politicians, not altogether strangers in this locality, were respectively secretary and assist­ ant secretary of tbe senate. One of these gentlemen, whose name is Bert Chilson, was supervisor of the United States census for this congressional district in 1900, and It is not impos­ sible that he may have absorbed some Ideas about the advantages of the cen­ sus business to a political machine. Ar qny rate, let us put two and two together. Sum. Smith had the ap­ pointment ot the census man for this district. Fred Warner lived In Sam. Smith's county and was a candidate for Secretary of State. Sam. Smith appointed Chilson to take charge of tho census in this district. Chilson and the enumerators appointed by him were all for Warner, and Warner ^d» nominated. On January 1, 1901, Warner became Secretary of State. His old friend Pierce, the secretary uf the senate, turned that job over to his assistant. Bert Chilson, and took a position with Mr. Warner os his deputy. “On tbe 20th of February, 1901, there was Introduced into the senate a bill to provide for taking the State census in 1904. three years from that time. Who do you suppose introduced that bill? Why, none other than An­ drew J. Doherty, since so well known as the ‘bell cow.’ or the ‘cow bell’—1 never can remember which— of the senate. "The bill was referred to a commit­ tee, of which Doherty was a member, and on May 1 was favorably reported out by A. J. Doherty, acting chair­ man. "The bill became a law June 7. Tills law, enacted three years in advance of the time when It would be needed, made a radical change in the manner of taking the State census. Thereto­ fore lhe census enumerators had al­ ways been appointed by tbe local au­ thorities. This Doherty law put the whole machine In The hands of the Secretary of State. He was authorized to create in his oflhx* a new division to he known as "the census division. He had power to appoint a chief of such division and as many clerks as he thought necessary. He was to di­ vide the State Into as many districts as ho thought best nnd appoint one or more enumerators for each district. “Under thlc law, Mr. Warner did appoint a chief and numerous clerks, together with between two and three thousand enumerators. “As soon as this bill had passed, Fred Warner's name began to lie men­ tioned as a candidate for Governor. And you will all remember that it was generally urged that he would be f strong candidate because he would liavc tbe census patronage to dis­ burse." H. KIRKE WHITE.

"THE TIE THAT BINDS " In the "pitiful plea*-’ (that’s wlm; the conservative Detroit Free Press •nils It) which Candidate Warner is mat­ ing in this campaign he says: "I realize, my friends, that you# judgment is now being tested, through day-by-dny attacks on my character, nnd on iny purposes as a citizen, ami as a candidate for olliee, tbe most cruel and unjust, I believe that any cit­ izen or candidate has ever been «-nlle<X upon to endure." This is a deliberate misrepresenta­ tion. It is made for the purpose of obflouring the real Issues Involved ift this campaign aud arousing a sentli ment of personal sympathy to wliich he knows he is not entitled on hltL merits ns the machine candidate foff governor. There have been no attacks on Mr. Warner’s character. No Dem­ ocrat has said anything wliich could, pceslbly be tortured into a reflection, upou him as a private citizen. 11 haa been charged, however—ami tho charge l« absolutely uncontradicted—* that Mr. Warner is the friend, the boon associate, and the political creation of the men who have made machine gov* eminent a stench In the nostrils of the.people of Michigan—men like T. WAtwood, "Bell Cow” Doherty, Tom Navin, and Don't-Glve-a-Damn Johnny; Baird, each and all of them high otilee-holders nnd mugnates of the Ilepuhficau party. It was these men and their machine following that farced tho Republican party to stultify Itself at> the Grand Rapids convention by pack­ ing it with n majority which voted down tlie primary reform resolution of­ fered by Congressman Wm. Alden: Smith, and adopted In Its stem! a reso­ lution pledging the party to contlnuethe present corrupt state convention­ system of nominating al! state offi­ cers. It is these men to whom Mr»i Warner refers in his repented expres­ sion of "my friends.” it was thelff slick work which placed him at th» head of the Republican state ticket. Naturally he feels under great obliga­ tions to them, and when their oc.s of. defiant opposition to tlie popular will' are assailed be instinctively realizesthat he himself is being attacked;. There Is absolutely no other ground fog his "pitiful” claim that he is being made the target for "cruel and unjust’’ charges.

OnL, Oct. 10.—An accident occurred at 4:30 Sunday morning in the St. Clair tunnel of the Grand Trunk railway, unue- tho St. Clair nver, between Sarnia and Port Huron, Mich., by which six men lost their lives by suffocation, and four others are still in a dangerous condition.

Simpson, Sarnia, Ont, conductor. D. T. Tinsley, Sarnia, Ont., conductor. Train Breaks in Two. The accident was due to the break­ ing In two in the tunnel of an east bound freight train hauled by one of the tunnel engine® nnd in charge of Conductor Simpson and Engineer Cole­ man. The train was comnosed of seventeen cars and the break happen­ ed three cars back from tlie engine. The engine hauled three cars out and drew them up the incline to grade and went back for the rest of the train. Conductor Simpson meanwhile re­ mained in the caboose at the rear end of the train. The train on the re­ turn found .the drawhqad broken and made a chain conection. which took much time and would only bring out three cars. Tunnel Full of Gas. The night was foggy and thick, so that there was no draft through the tunnel, and the gas from the anthra­ cite burned In tbe tunnel engines ac­ cumulated in the tunnel. Going back the third time for the last eleven cars, the trainmen were affected by the gas and a fresh crew was sent for. They took the engine into the tunnel to bring out the rest of the train, but had difficulty in mak­ ing steam. When an hour had passed and the engine did not reappear Yardmaster McKee formed a party to investigate. The rescue party entered the tunnel on foot and first found the pumpman of the tunnel. Alex Forbes, uncon­ scious and brought him out. Returning, they walked a quarter of a mile into the tunnel and found the engine, and also found Gillis lifeless. In the cab was the engineer, dead, wltn his face burned to a crisp by falling against the engine, and beside him was the fireman, unconscious. Relief Party Overcome. By this time all the party were deathly sick from the gas and McKee called to the party to hurry out They -started for the outlet, but one after another succumbed to the gas and fell, excepting John Blake, the switchman, who, by heroic efforts, picked up one after another of his senseless com­ rades. loaded them on the engine and brought the whole party out to fresh air and safety. • The only person conscious on the lo­ comotive when it came out was Blake himself. Another rescue party was formed and a handcar taken into the tunnel and the bodies of Gillis and McGrath brought out. FIVE BULLET HOLES IN BODY OF STRANGER W50NICGEPT5 Man Suspected of Being a Bank Rob­ ber is Found Murdered in Lake County', Indiana. Crown Point. Ind.. Oct. 10.—Beside Wabash railway tracks between Scbart and Lake Hie body of a mau ’»> found at 5:30 o’clock Sunday af’unmon with five bullet holes in it. Sheriff Baraboo ut Lake county and a large ixiase are out scouring the surrounding country in search of the murderers. Il has been suggested that the mur­ dered man may have been one of the •wo men who blew open the safe of the bank at Freeland Park early Satur­ day morning and escaped with $4,000 of the bank's funds. The theory Is advanced that one of the robbers, after they hnd made good their escape, killed hi. companion in order to keep all the money or to pre­ vent his telling of the crime. Tiie body is that of a stranger. Nothing wns found In the pockets, and this fact gives color to the suppo­ sition that be may have been one of lhe Freeland Park robbers. The body was found by Alvan Wells of Hujart when he was on his way to I^ke. He at once hastened to the town and told Sheriff Baraboo of his find. The sheriff and a number of others went t3 the place with Wells and brought the hody to Imke. The blood on the man's clothing was coagulated, showlug he had .tied some time before lhe body was found.

UNDERWEAR Our comments on the Barry county republican machine seem to have hud a curious effect on our esteemed con­ temporary, the Banner. It is but natural of course that the organ of the machine should Uy to its defense, hut the wav in which it makes its defense is quite peculiar. It takes more than a column of Its valuuole space to say ‘•you’re another," but it says it in such a personal way that the Herald editor has been blushing ever since.

But. seriously, does the Banner ex­ pect to cover up the fact that a machine of the most perfect type is running the republican party by any such personal dissertation as it published hist week upon the HeraLd editor? Did it refute a single change that the Herald made? Can it say that no republican can run for office in this county without the O. K. mark of the Ketcham-Cook ring? Will it deny that there is a feel­ ing abroad among the machine's fol­ lower’s that Judge Smith must bo "turned down’* at the next judicial election? It Is true that Judge Smith says in his "Curd” in last week's Ban­ ner, that ho takes no stock in this re­ port. Will the Banner confirm the judge's impression?

"Cart,” he said, "do you thluk Ma­ mie ’ll like you for doing this?’’ Carter shook off the bund. "Don’t she want to walk?” lie de­ manded. "There's nobody but her aud me, and suppose something *d happen to me nnd she’d be left by herself? Could she go on sitting up there alone and nobody to do anything for her? Ain’t we alone in the world—father nnd mother both dead?’ Thus they went into the store, nnd in a few minutes more they were on their way to Mamie. To see her white face light up when she spied them from her window, to hear her exclamation when Carter showed her whnt he hnd for her! "Oh, Tom!" she snld. "And you’ve snved for 11 year to get it!" She pulled his face down to hers. “1 never told you, but I’ve wanted to walk so much. And now I’ll learn all over ngnln. Aud maybe 1 can go and find better paying work, for if you’d get sick or be laid off at the factory what should we do with the little I earn? Oh, Tom, what a dear fellow you ifre!” But Carter was gloomier than ever. "Now," he said, "1’11 go and get Mrs. Willett to help you put tbe apparatus on. It’s perfectly simple. You see, this bandage Is on toji at the back, and this stay comes down behind." Briggsy left them and went to bls own room, though be did not get bls supper, as lie should have done. He sat down and thought Soon he heard Mnmle laughing with glee and could bear her making her first attempt at walk­ ing, clumsily, heavily, but taking a step nevertheless. • "Yes," said Briggsy, pounding his hand on tho table; “1’11 do It” It was a firm resolution, and yet It did not en­ able liim to make preparations for his supper. Instead for some time be ant there In tbe dark and never once raised bis head. Then all at once he beard a strange clamping sound outside bis door. ?*nd there was Mamie, Cart’s arm around her, positively standing upright. "I thought I’d pay you a call," she said. "It’s Just grand! I’ll learn to walk In no time. And then what holi­ days we'll have! We’ll go to the coun­ try and see tbe trees and the birds or downtown to look at tbe parades. I’ll soon learn, only I’m a bit nervous just now. And, Mr. George Briggs, I’ve cctne to invite yon to take supper with us. We’ll celebrate the day.” Of course Briggsy went ‘TH get some cakes," said Carter and disappeared. She was lively all the evening, so lively that It was a wonder her brother remained gloomy and nt last said be bod forgotten something and must go out Briggsy also left tbe room. "Going with me?’ Carter asked. "I’m not feeling very well, nnd a walk ’ll help me.” Briggsy said he believed he’d go to bls own room. "Go if yon want to," growled Carter and went down the stairs. Briggsy bad a hard night of it He scarcely slept at all. Once he said: "Anybody ’ll believe it was me. I’m only a charity child. 1’11 do it” In the morning be hnd no desire for breakfast. He did not wait for Carter, but went off nloue an hour too early to go to work. He walked tbe streets til) the factory whistle sounded and then went to the room where lie and Carter nnd ten other men worked together. Briggsy was the lost to arrive, and tlie door bad scarcely closed upon him when it opened to admit tbe "old man.” His name was Hallett, nnd he was a fine old fellow, very well liked by tho employees. He was of stout build, with a round, smooth, boyish face, and be hnd scanty gray bale which stood up in little tufts. It was said that these tufts stiffened like the hair on n cat’s back when he was angry. On this par­ ticular morning they were in n strange tangle, as if he hnd been rubbing them in some dire strait of perplexity, and bls manner was characterized by em­ barrassment. "Er—gentlemen,” be began, "there’s a matter I want to speak to you about this morning." lie paused and stretch­ ed bis collar with his fingers as if it choked him.

"And then what’ll I do?’ If It was anybody but Cart! It would kill his sister. I couldn’t give away Mamie’s brother. Not me!" The thought of Mamie suggested aa interesting possibility, and as the min­ utes passed and the "old man” did not come back Briggsy bad time to consid­ er the matter. The gist of it was that Carter had not taken this monej for himself, but for his Ulster. Mamie was lame. She couldn’t walk a step alone. But tbe doctor who had looked out for her case more or less since she was hurt bad said that with the aid of a certain complicated ma­ chine to support her back she could walk pretty well. The machine cost $50. and tbat was a good deal of money to earn.

For Carter a year before, thinking to have some fun with Briggsy, whose room adjoined the liny flat inhabited by Cart and his sister, tied a string across the stairs for tripping purposes. Mamie tripped instead of Briggsy and afterward spent months in bed, only supplementing tbat inactivity by sit­ ting at her window later on, her limbs powerless. Briggsy wondered If she were not sometimes as gloomy as Cart when no­ body was by and she sewing there alone nnd seeing no end to her help­ lessness. And now there might be n chance for her to walk. And yet— He bent over his work and filed and polished with feverish energy. When the day’s duties were over be waited for Carter, for they usually went home together.

Briggsy eyed tho atrnnger with alarm, suspecting his pro­ fession. "Well." said Hallett, "what Is it? Speak np!" Briggsy took his courage in both hands. "It’s about the money.” said he.

"HAVE YOU BB0UQHT THE MONEY V The old time battlcnx fighters will tell you that training for ring con­ tests. even when the championship is Involved, Is merely a joke nowadays, and but little interest Is taken In it either by the fighters or tbe public. In years gone by, when men took off twen­ ty or thirty pounds to get to weight. It was a far different job nnd meant lota of hard work. Arthur Chambers said some time ago that for one ot bls fights In England bo took off forty-four pounds. In those days the fighters pickled their hands and faces, so that they could stand the punishment of a long contest, making them as hard and tough almost as leather. They used to lake long walks, sometimes currying n small cannon ball, which they tossed from one hand to flie other to strengthen tbe Imnds. This was one of Joe Coburn’s favorite tricks. Fighters used to take a big bulldog or a Great Daue with them on tbeir walks and have the dog pulling against them on a strong strap for the same purpose ot making the hands nnd wrists strong. .When Walker wns training for his fight with Weeden, in which context he met his death, Snm Collyer was >‘L’ W'lwr. uml be luede Walker carry to temper tho bitterness of his reflection* he felt conscious of a drowsiness which was exceedingly merciful, and so he fell asleep, fully dressed, upon his bed. ... awoke re.r.,™ He refreshed and with u a ....... better courage in the early morning, nnd after a /va pair of ten pound dumlilMdls as ne bite of breakfast he walked toward the walked - - along . - and • — - •-*tbe street, tbe big factory with a strong and Increasing bruiser used to be a source of wonder­ resolution.

The Herald has been requested I several times of late to explain the ex­ pression, ’’Primary Reform." and as it is a very timely que.-t.ion. we will do the best we can to comply with the re­ quest. In general it may be stated that the movement for primary reform has for it-* object the abolition of caucuses and nominating conventions, and the sub­ stitution in their place of a direct choosing of candidates by all the voters instead of by delegates. The word “primary'’ as applied to elections, means a meeting of voters for the purpose of nominating candidates. Caucuses and nominating conventions are therefore properly called “pri­ maries," but they are not satisfactory primaries, because they are invariably managed by a few men, instead of by all the voters of a party. What it is proposed'to do is to adopt a plan that gives all the voters a voice in selecting candidates, not a few delegates. It would be impossible, of course, to predict the details of a primary law, such as Prof. Ferris and those who are supporting him advocate. These de­ tails will have to be worked out by the lawmakers when the bill comes before them for discussion, but there are cer­ T.

But what of those early days? Young Parker was greatly In earn­ est to become a lawyer. His father did not possess tbe means to educate him thoroughly for the profession; not­ withstanding. Alton persevered In his purpose. He was graduated at the Cortland Academy when sixteen years of age, nnd ou that very day be start­ ed out to obtain a school to teach and he obtained one lu Virgil, thirteen miles from his home. Hfs flrat experi­ ence as a teacher was extremely try­ ing. Some of his pupils were nearly as old aud as large as he. More than one conflict of authority was neces­ sary before he could .subdue and con­ trol his scholars, but this is the end he accomplished. The year following the youug teacher obtained a license or degree from the normal school of his town, and through this cret’ntii'l secured a position lu the con which he now resides, Ulster Co. . N.

His salary was three uolhira per day, and the position was as principal of the school, which gave him some leisure in which to study Jaw. nnd. iu fact, so industrious nnd ener­ getic was he that he held this posi­ tion but a year, when be became twen­ ty-one years of age nnd was ready to be admitted to the bar. having now supported himself for the five years Just past.

It Is here mini It ten iv far from perfect, but I have in my possession letters from Gov. Van Na tit. Congressman John Lind. District Attorney Boardman nnd other public men us well ns private citizens, all of whom unite in saying that It is an improvement over the old system, that It is immensely popular with the people-, and that objections to It come for the most part from professional (Killtieians nnd disgruntled office seckcts. Oregon adopted the direct nomin­ ations plan last June by a majority of nearly 20,000 in excess of that of the successful Republican candidates jit the same election. “The opposition to the movement for direct nominations has been such as to drive pood citizens to the support of the movement.

Its appeals nnd threats are alike unheeded. The people are thor­ oughly aroused, and they are deter­ mined to have their own way this year In Michigan. They are convinced tliat the machine has never Intended to give them a genuine primary reform law or any other remedial measures, ue "«w machine spokesmen like Sam Smith and Grant Fellows have thrown off the mask nnd are hrildly advocating the perpetuation of rue corrupt caucus and convention system, there will be a renewed stain­ Pixie of primary reform Republicans >' I- miilenlubh, that Nam Smith nnd Fellows voice the real feeling of the machine managers. Hie latter have fooled the people so long that they thought they could do so through one more campaign. Rut the brilliant canvass of Mr. Ferris hns stirred up Ko much enthusiasm, and the revelations of machine usurpa­ tions and treacheries have been so convincing, that the Ijosmcs have be­ come thoroughly alarmed and In their desperation they have cast aside all of their virtuous pretensions and now stand forth the s<*lf-confess<Ml enemies of any and every form of nrlmary re­ form. Nam Smith's declaration that “the people do not want primary re­ form any more than a cat wants two tails." proclaims anew the Insincerity which has marked the machine’s atti­ tude on direct nominations ever since the agitation against the rotten and outgrown caucus system was begun by the friends of electoral and adminis­ trative reform. It is easy to understand Sam Smith’s ardent attachment to machine methods. He Is Indebted to those methods for every nomination he bus received from tho Republican t>arty. He is the perfected flower of the ’system.’ He knows tlmt his friend, Fred Warner, is also a product of inn­ chine methods, lie naturally feels that ho must be loyal to his ]»olltlcal maker and to his political friend. It wus the fine work of the federal census enumerators that won a renomlnution for Sam Smith lu tho Sixth District four years ago. and It was tho ex­ ample thus furnished of the political usefulnelK of a well-organized census bureau Ihnt suggested the campaign that was conducted In liehalf of Fred Warner’s candidacy for the gulwrnatorlal nomination. The State census enumerators did for him what tlie federal census ennmerntors had done fcr Sam Smith. In l>oth cases, the power and indlspensableness of a ma­ chine were demonstrated to the com­ plete satisfaction of the distinguished patriots for whom it ’put up’ the cau­ cuses and ■‘stacked* the delegations. The most Infatuated Republican par­ tisan will not contend anv longer tlmt the bosses intend to make the slight­ est concession 1o the element of the party which Is Gcumnding primary re­ form. If successful at the coming election the machine will undoubtedly take steps to tighten the cinch which It has on the party management. 11 will never willingly surrender any of its power to the people. It knows that If R should do so, Finis wonld be writ­ ten ou its career. This Is the real se­ cret of Its uncompromising hostility to primary reform? Else why shouldn't It be willing to grant the de­ mand of the people for a trial of the plan of direct nominations? What Is there wrong or vicious about such a demand? The fart that In resisting It the machine npolwlsts are driven to employ the flimsiest arguments— arguiner.ts that frequently knock each other In the head—proves the dbdiouesty of their course. It is urged by Snm ■Smith that a minority of the peo­ ple might nominate- a candidate under a primary reform system. Of course he Isn’t sincere In urging this objec­ tion. Faithful defender of the machine that he Is. he will hardly contend that It has nlwavs nominated candidates who have tieen the choice of a major­ ity of the Republican voters. It Is not even pretended that the candidate for Governor whom he Is supporting with so muck more zenl than discretionwas such n choice. From whatever standpoint It I" viewed, the snectncle of a thoroughgoing machine Republi­ can turning down primary reform be­ cause It might give a minority of the people a chance to nominate the can­ didates. is a convincing testimony Io the hypocrisy of tho opponents of the reform. ...

Its officers were working for It zealously through the application of the methods that are usual for the dis­ semination of information and argu­ ments In behalf of a new plan de­ signed to better general conditions, remedy old Ills and correct old abuses. In May. the league sent out a circular whose title page contained the follow­ ing: “Forty thousand voters will receive this pamphlet.

"\Ve want the names of 150.000 vot­ ers who desire the enactment of such a lawl Will you help us to get them?" Some of tlte questions tlie receiver* of this circular were asked to answer were as follows: “Do you believe hi ‘government by tho people’?

He is heart and soul with tlie masses on the overshadowing issue of primary reform and on tho vexed question of equitable taxation. Judged -.n to these things as the chief factors *.n the pending campaign, he Is not only a good Democrat but a better Re publican than Warner could be even were he a free agent instead of n po­ ll! leal servitor.

Mr. Barber was bom in Murray, Or­ leans county, New York, Aug. 23, 1833, In which place bls early life was spent. He married Miss Eliza J. Vickery, Dec. 21, 1855. In 1806 he came to Hastings and engaged in the mercan­ tile business. He remained in busi­ ness until 1875, during the latter part of this period being associated with the late A. W. Bailey, to whom be sold bis intereston the date above mentioned. In 1878 be bought the farm two miles north of this city, where he has ever since resided. He leaves a wife and an adopted daughter. He was a member in good standing of Hastings Masonic lodge and Chapter. The funeral was held Sunday after­ noon and was largely attended? The services at the house were conducted by Bev. Mr. Otten, and at the grave by the Masons, J. L. Crawley pronouncing the impressive and beautiful ritual of the order.

BANNER ON SHERIFF'S BILL SOME COMMENTS IN ANSWER TO REPUBLICAN ORGAN. An Evident Attempt to Make Politi­ cal Capital By Charging Extravagance. Our contemporary, the Banner, has kindly furnished us with a copy of an article which it will use in its issue this week commenting upon Sheriff Cortrlgbt's bill. This action appears od its face to be very fair, as it gives us an opportunity to reply if we desire. But it seems to us that if fairness were the real motive of the Banner's course, it would have waited before making its comments until the board of supervis­ ors had taken action or at least made a report on Sheriff Cortright’s bill. It Is not a question of whether his bill is larger or smaller than usual, but only of whether it is just, and the Banner has presented no data which throws any light upon this question. If it has any evidence to show that Sheriff Cortright bos presented a claim for a single dollar that he is not entitled to, let us have this evidence. If it has none its insinuations are not fair. The manner and time in which the Banner makes its criticisms justify the statement that its real motive is to make political capital by its course. Fancy­ ing that it has found a Saw in the ad­ ministration of a democratic sheriff, It artfully tries to influence the voters of the county ags'nst the democratic tick­ et. Mr. Cortright is not a candidate for re-election and bls record as a mat­ ter of fact, is not ah issue, and it b manifestly unfair to try to drag him into the contest. This effort therefore of our contemporary to prejudice the voters against the democratic candi­ dates is an unworthy kind of political warfare which ought to react against the party that resorts to it. But, aside from this aspect of the Banner’s course in this article, there ought, in justice to the sheriff, some­ thing to be said. After calling atten­ tion to the fact that Sheriff Cortright’s bill for boarding prisoners at the county jail for the nine months ending Oct. 1st was over 11700, the Banner con­ trast* these figures with Sheriff Ritchie’s bill for feeding prisoners, which it says was less than 11700 for the whole four years of his term. Then it goes back to Sheriff McKevitt’s term and finds that he was paid but 11,521.50 for boarding prisoners for bis four year*. Surely, our contemporary must know, that such comparisons are utterly uselea* a* evidence against the fairness of Sheriff Cortright’s bills. If tbe com­ parison shows anything it shows that either the business of the sheriff's office was slackly performed under former officials—and this we do not assert—or that conditions have so changed as to bring more business to this office. It is our impression, after inspecting the sheriff’s books and talking with him about the matter, that the business of the office has greatly increased since I Sheriff Cortright went into office. And right here we wish to say that the rec­ ords in tbe sheriff's office are open to inspection. They are complete and clear and tbe sheriff has the commit­ ment papers ou file to vouch for tbe correctness of his claims. Surely, the board of supervisors will have no diffi­ culty in determining tbe correctness of this bill. They will find his account correct, we sincerely believe, and if they do, bow absurd it will be to blame the sheriff for doing his duty because chat duty has brought an expense up­ on the county for which he has been in no way responsible. Since Jan. 1st, 1904, there have been 168 committed to serve sentence and the whole number com mi Vied includ­ ing tramps, insane persons, and those sent here from other counties for safe keeping, ba* been 522. During Sheriff Cortright’s term there has been not a single case of jail breaking, something which none of tbe surrounding counties can say. Sheriff Cortright has taken no long trips as some of hi* predecess­ ors have, involving heavy expense to the county, but he has done the police work that properly comes to him promptly and efficiently. Certainly it Is not his fault if the justices courts have committed many prisoners to the county jail, nor was it his fault, that the long and cold winter of 1903 4 in­ creased the number of tramps that sought shelter and made an unusual expense for keeping them over night. Finally, we wish to correct an error which the Banner has m^de. “Figur­ ing it out on the basis of the 50 cents a day allowed by the county for feeding prisoners, it would indicate that there must have been an average of 13 pris­ oners, not including tramps, in the jail ' every day for the nke months.” Then it adds with a knowing air, “Yet the! criminal records for the circuit court show a business no heavier than usual! ” Well, are there no other courts? Does not the Banner know that by far the larger part of the commitments are made by the justices courts? If it does not know this fad, we advise it to look up the matter, before making another such exhibition of ignorance. If our contemporary had no other ob­ ject In view in its comments on the sheriff’s bill than to be just and to pro­ mote the best welfare of the county it would have gone ou in its investiga­ tions and ascertained whether Lho dem­ ocratic administration of the sheriff’s and prosecutor’s offices has not in re­ ality been a saving to the taxpayers. There has been very little criminal business in the circuit court during the past four years, most of the few criminal cases having been settled without a trial, the prisoners generally pleading guilty. And it is fair to assume that the vigorous way in which the crimi-. □al .and vicious classes have been dealt with, has kept the county clear of them and prevented the criminal business of the circuit court from becoming heavy and expensive. ' When these facts are taken into con­ sideration much credit will be given both to Sheriff Cortright and to Prose­ cuting Attorney Walker for the effici­ ency with which they have maintain­ ed the peace and good order of the county, at a minimum cost to the tax­ payers. . The Banner’s attempt to make polit­ ical capital out of the sheriff's bill, ought therefore to be looked upon as a political trick. It is simply an anteelection production of the county ma­ chine. That the republican county machine is badly scared is evident from the frantic efforts with which it is trying to hold the voters in line. Bushels of circulars and thousands of letters are going out from the county chairman's office in the court house and a big corps of typewriters and clerks are kept busy. Perhaps the voters of Bar­ ry county can be whipped into line by this lavish expenditure of money and effort, perhaps not. We shall see next Tuesday.’ । Mrs. Carrie Spence, who left a couple of weeks ago for Los Angeles, Cal., to spend the winter with her sister, Mrs. Loren Rich, met with a mishap on the way.

PATENTS I i land and Olney are as closely associat­ ed with the trusts as any member of the republican party, and that in per­ mitting them to appear for him and in allowing their voices to be heard in democratic councils Mr. Parker is be­ traying the “real democrats” in the party. Mr Hearst, although now a democratic member of congress and renominated by a democratic conven­ tion, has also shown insubordination by accepting the endorsement of the populist convention, in direct disobedi­ ence to Leader Mumhy of Tammany Hall. It is generally believed that such methods must result in the disci­ plining of Hearst after election, al­ though It may be inexpedient to under­ take it in advance, of November 8. There is being mode an attempt on the part of the republican campaign managers tn create the impression that Alton B. Parker is the candidate of the Standard Oil Company. Such a charge is utterly without foundation. It is based on the fact that state Sena­ tor Pat McCarren and Delaucey Nicoll, both ardent supporters nf Mr. Parker, are closely affiliated with the Standard Oil Company. Bat, contrary to the a’« legations of the republican press, neither of these men was responsible for Mr. Parker’s nomination, which wrs the result of the unanimous choice of the democratic national convention and not brought about by any two or three admirers of the Esopus jurist. Judge Parker has decided to make three speeches before election, one in New York, one In New Jersey and one in Connecticut, while it is barely pos­ sible that he mav be Induced to extend his trip further west. At one time Chairman Taggart thought he had pre­ vailed upon Mr. Parker to go as far west as Chicago but later the presiden­ tial candidate changed his mind, and he now believes he wi'.l be unable tu go west at all, much us he appreciated the cordiality with which he would be received.

I was present nnd so A were others and plenty of proof to substantiate my statement can be produced if necessary.” •S J J The history of the state tax commission shows how that body has been manipulated in the interests of the railroads. In 1891) this board was created, consisting of three members. In 1900, after the adoption of the constitutional amendment providing for the assess­ ment of railroads and like corporations on the same basis as other property, it is plain that the railroads became deeply interested in the tax commission. Notice what happened. In spite of Governor Pingree’s earnest objection, a bill was put through the legislature adding two members to the board, Sen­ ator Atwood’, now railroad commissionioner, taxing an active part in the movement to increase the membership to five. Does any one doubt that the railroads saw to it that a majority of this commission was made up in their interests? Let us see if the following state­ ment made by Homer Warren does not throw some light on the manner in which things were fixed so as to favor the railroads. Mr. Warren is now treasurer of the republican state committee, but last spring he was a candidate for the nomination for governor. At a iheeting in Detroit May 13 last, under the auspices of the Municipal League, speaking about railroads and the machine, he said: Convention Call.

S1.35 EOWEE lies ou the railway. The mall trains, bringing peo­ ple—drummers nnd such like wandering folk—and news from tbe outside world, pass It twice each day, and* once In it great while Some citizen gets a telegram, so Keowee is of Its own right a postoffice and a voting precinct mid accounts itself enlightened. North of the village the Saludn river flows, and to the west Is Belleville, but ten miles to the south­ east, straight ns the crow Illes, over the blue outlines of tbe opalescent hills, are the marshy low grounds of Half­ way swamp, nnd beyond the swamp Iles Sodom. No land of wickedness, however, is this Sodom of tbe ragged clay shale ridges, nor are there any slime pits there. Instead its gullied and stony fields are belted by .green bill pines, and its people spend much of their time in strenuous high keyed praise, for Sodom is a neighborhood of negroes and might have beeu named just us nplly Gomorrah or Caesarea Philippi. The church at Sodom is old—the weathered stones of the burying ground mutely bear witness to that— and long ago Its rough walls were stained a neutral gray nnd green mosses came to bnrbor on tbe shingles ot the roof. Very proud are the people of Sodom of this their church, and very proud they nre of Amnziah Wilkins, who preaches here. A lean, spare man Is Atnazlnh WII-* kins, but sinewy withal aud black. Little enough does lie seem like a preacher, least of all like the negro preachers who, growing fat aud gran­ diose In mnuner, cling to the well pay­ ing towns and come uot to Sodom to tarry there’. But. although his church Is poor aud cannot pay him much. Amazlali Is u prosperous man. Indeed, ■neb is his industry that the white folk "over the swamp*’ have learned his value as a harvest hand and the mer­ chants of Keowee know him us one who Is good for his debts nnd au a shipper of clean, unmortgaged cotton. And at the times when he speaks Id tbe church there sits ou tbe choir seats a handsome woman lithe of body, erect and black. Tnli^by her name is, and she is the preacher's wife. To him she has brought her strength, and. like him, she has honor in Sodom os she bends to tbe Master's work. But woven Into all this there Is a story, a story which began many years ago on the river farms that are north of Keowee. It was winter then—a hard winter on tbe black folk—and there were some who were hungry. In one little cabin there were a woman and a halt grown boy. Day by day their email store grew smaller, aud tbe time came when there was nothing. Then the woman wept, but the boy. seeing that food must bn hud, went out to consider. He could uot reason very well, but he knew that through the long hot days of summer they bad wrought, lie and bls mother, until tbelr backs were bent with toll and tbelr bands calloused with labor, and be K knew that, though tbe white men had plenty and to spare, their hands, were soft.

FERRIS IS A WINNER The most remarkable political contest that has ever been waged in Michigan is nearing its close. It is a contest that has been marked by frank, vigorous and enlightening discussion on one side and by evasion, suppression and silence on the other. Under the inspiring leadership of that brilliant champion of reform, Woodbridge N. Ferris, the friends of honest government have forced the supporters of machine rule to aluuidon one position after another. No defense vvorthv of the name has been made by the machine. Its only reply to*the direct charges of faithlessness and misrule has been a cowardly chaHeuguig of motives and a demagogic appeal to party spirit. It has declined to discuss its own record.

R. VAN SANT. E FERRIS’ PLATFORM A Pointed Statement of the Principles He Stands For. [From his speech at Grand Rapids.) My platform is for human rights. I st d squarely upon the Democratic State platform and It is good enough for any one. 1 ask you to read it at night after vou have read your testa­ ment, and the two will go well to­ gether. I believe in home rule. I be­ lieve that the election of United States senators and n bank-book should not go hand in hand. I believe In the state regulation of freight and passenger rates. I would make It a crime for a public official to ride upon railroad passes. I have never ridden upon n pass tn my life. That does not make me a saint, but I thank God that it helps me to respect myself. They say that political platforms don’t mean anything anyway, but 1 want to say that If L thought a per­ sonal or party pledge was not made to be lived up to I should go back to Big Rapids and turn my back upon all kinds of politics and remain a school­ master forever. The fact is that It Is time for political parties nnd politic­ ians to stop lying and to tell the truth, occasionally at least. They ssy that I am an Idealist and I am glad thnt I am. I have no regard for a man without an Ideal, and who does not look np to higher things nnd try to better himself and the world. I have no use for the mnn Who says that he was born a Democrat and In­ tends to die n Democrat, nor for the Republican who says the same thing. A mnn who cannot Change his mind has no mind to change.

Burt of Saginaw. RAILROADS NOMINATED BLISS "They Put Up the Money That 'Got the Delegates,” and Hava Owned Him Ever Since. At the great Ferris meeting in Gaginaw Tuesday night Hon. i Wel­ lington R. Burt, the former president of the Toledo &. Ann Arbor railroad and one of the best known and most Influential men in the state, told some plain truths concerning the part played by certain great corporations in Republican politics. He made these sensational declarations: “I know whereof i speak when I say that four years ago the powers that control railroad corporations in Michigan debated which of the three candidates for the Republican nomin­ ation for Governor they should sup- “i was one of those powers myself. They finally agreed on one of the three, and put up the money that got tho delegates that nominated him. I leave it to you if they did not pick the one who would serve their pur* “He was elected Governor. No, I’ll taka that back. He has not been Gov­ ernor. He has simply sat in tho chair at Lansing that la provided for the Governor, "HE SOLD HIMSELF BODY AND SOUL TO THESE RAILROAD COR­ PORATIONS—YES, SOLD HI8 SOUL TO THE DEVIL FOR AN OFFICE, AND HE HAS BEEN THE WILLING TOOL OF THE GANG THAT IS BANDED TO ROB MICHIGAN.” The real significance of these start­ ling statements lies in the fact that tbe same machine bosses who, with the aid of the money furnished by the railroad corporations, made Aaron T. Bliss the Republican candidate for governor in 1900. were the chief back­ ers of Fred M. Warner in his canvass far the gubernatorial nomination. The names of these bosses are Theron W. Atwood, Thomas J. Navin, Alfred J.Dougherty and John Baird. We have it on the authority of the Republican Detroit Journal that these men “ted the Warner forces'’ both in the Grand Rapids convention whlen repudiated tbe party’s primary reform promises and In the Detroit convention which placed the Farmington man at the head of the Republican state ticket They are the men to whom Fred MWarner refers in hte repeated ex. preukra of "my friends.” It Is tbe political machine operated by them that be referred to at Durand when be admitted thnt he was "to a way the creature of a machine—the ma­ chine of my personal friends,* We leave it to tho honest voters of Michigan to say if the machine bosons who inflicted Aaron T.

When you remember that gas is itself fine fuel, being used in all the large cities for cooking, heating and lighting, you realize how much is saved if the gas dosen’t escape, but is held in the stove and burned. Notice in this picture of Cole’s Hot Blast how the draft burns the gas. It discharges a bliftt of highly heated air over and through the body, of fuel, thus distilling the gas from the fuel, oxydizing and burning it before its escape up the chimney.

Sonnino. the leader of the constitu­ tional op)K>sition. has lost some ot his lollowers owing to the fact that Milan, which formerly was entirely repre­ sented by extremists, has elected two Conservatives, on clerical, and two Socialist Reformists, one of whom, Turati. was supported even by nonSoclalists.

When Premier Glolitti came into power, a year ago.-ho found toe rela­ tions between Italy and Austria iu a very disturbed condition in conse­ quence of the fact that ant (-Austrian demonst rations had been tolerated by Signor ZanardeHI. ills predecessor, who. it Is alleged, winked at the propa­ ganda for the union with Italy of the liallnn provinces that are still subject to Austria. Signor Glolitti changed all this, and assured Austria she had nothing to fear from Italy. This was publicly emphasized by the meeting at Abazzia in April last of Signor TiUoni. the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Count Goluchowshy. the Austrian Chancellor. However. Austria's dental of the request of her Italian subjects for a national university at Trieste led up to the troubles nl Innsbruck which have endangered good relations ijctween the two governments. A Racial Hatred. . Behind all other explanations of the Innsbruck affair there Is the racial hatred between Italians and AustroGermans In Italian provinces subject to Austria, the hitter element having vainly tried fur five centuries to Ger­ manize the provinces. Austria’s re­ fusal to establish an Italian faculty In the University ot Trieste has been at­ tributed to the fear that It would re­ sult in the university becoming the center of an nntl-Austrian propaganda, but recently it was decided lo Insti­ tute nn Italian facility at the Inns­ bruck University. This went Into ef­ fect on Nov. 3. when the rioting be­ gan. The disturbances, it is a’.Ieged here, were provoked by aggressions on the part of the Germans. The Cabinets ot Vienna and Rome arc doing what they can to smooth over the difficulty. TEACHER FEEDS PUPILS SOAP Tries New Method to Prevent Swear­ ing and Nearly Kills a Boy. Dea Moines. Iowa.

"After four years of dear experience I never would accept public office again under the fee system" declares Sheriff Chapman In an interview in the Grand Rapids Press, aud he goes on to give his reasons for the statement. "The very vagueness of the fee system li It­ self a cause of suspicion. Because no •ne, except the few who have had ex­ perience, knows what the profits really are, tbe public gets tbe idea that there •re ‘millions in it’ and Immediately brands the office holder as a grafter •nd a robber, however unfair such ac•usations may be, and however baseless la the public view of the profits. ” There is good reason to believe that this officer is right. The fee system is aid satisfactory not only for the sheriff’s fcut for tbe majority of elective postions. The uncertainty as to tbe proceeds of •n office under the fee system, the luctuations in the Income thus derived, the temptation to pile up larger and 1 more fees then necessary, and the suspiclous feeling engendered in the pub­ mind that tbe office bolder is a "graft­ er,” are features of the system that argue for Its abolishment. It would be better for political mor­ als. more business like, juster to pub­ lic officials as well as more satisfactory to them, if fair and reasonable salaries could be paid to them; and al) fees that may be exacted turned into tbe public treasury. The Campaign in Michigan. Not since Michigan became a state has there been such a unique and in­ teresting state campaign as tbe one which came to a close Tuesday. Not­ withstanding tbe fact that a national campaign was in progress state issues took the lead and absorbed all the In­ terest. This was just the reverse of the ordinary conditions in a president­ ial year. For where the election of a president and a house of representa­ tives is before the people, ordinarily it .is impossible to direct their attention to the state ticket. Good men or unfit; men men may be nominated on the ' Kate tickets and the result will be the same. The interest Iln national poli­ tics carries the state ticket of the dom­ inant party through in spite of any in­ herent weakness it may have. But two ooffditions this year con­ ' tributed to the reversal of the usual order. One was tbe certainty that ' Roosevelt would carry Michigan. This ( made it entirely unnecessary for the republicans to get excited or deeply en­ ’ grossed iu national politics. The other was the popular revolt against ' tbe machine which had been defying \ . the wishes of the people for tbe past’ four years until popular indignation had reached the boiling point. When the candidate of tbe democrat­ ' ic party turned out to be a man of un­ usual energy, possessed of the qual­ ities of leadership in a marked degree, a man who was entirely in sympathy with the popular demand for reform, ' and whose career as an educator and Orator had placed him on a broad non­ ' partisan plane that made him obnox­ ious to nn one, the causes of the whirl­ । wind state campaign in a presidential year are accounted for. Thus the popular mind was so willing to listen U> tbe discussion of state issues1 and so indifferent to national politics. Thus it was easy for Mr. Ferris and his1 oo-ad jutors to draw big audiences and bold their deepest attention without ' once referring to national issues. This1 has never been done before in a presi­ dential campaign. , “The Greatest of Moral Questions.’' Tbe striking manner in which Judge। Parker brought bls campaign to a,close। —by arraigning the administration for■ accepting money from the trusts will no doubt be regarded by the partisansi of the president with disfavor. It wasi a bolder and more aggressive coursei than the popular conception of Judgei Parker would have suggested. Thei quiet, self-contained, judicial temper­. ament of the man, gave his somewhat, sensational course at the close a sur­. prising turn. But the very fact that, Judge Parker thought it to be his duty to emphasize the unholy alliance be­. tween the republican leaders and the: trusts is indicative that he fully appre­. <orj tin Fr< bui:' Het froi D hot tent sick weel dauj Lod|. newl prob? Her? ciates tbe need of arousing the country to a knowledge of the situat’on. Certainly Judge Parker would not. have made the strong charges against, the campaign methods of the president si political manager which the president, him»elf felt i.npelled to answer and, deny, unless he had been urged by a, very high sense of duty to do so. Judge। Parker is not the man to resort to। political trickery. Actuated no doubt, by the same impelling sense of duty to। his country as that which prompted the। famous "gold standard” telegram to। the St. Lcuis convention, he denounced an evil which he found to be existing in high places, even though in so doing he offended the chief executive of the nation and injected into his own cam­ paign an element which was quite as likely to jeopardize us to help bis cause. . And who, that is not blinded by par- II tisan zeal, cun doubt that Judge Park- ' er’s denouncement was true aud just? The president vehemently denies that there was any agreement or under­ standing with the trusts by which their interests are to be looked after by the government in payment for their campaign conlributions, but as Judge Parker pointed out in hh speech at New York Saturday night, the presi­ dent does not and can uot deny that ihe trusts made heavy contributions to the republican campaign funds. Nor can It be successfully denied that the trusts are receiving and expoct to con­ tinue to receive under a republican ad­ ministration special privileges. It is manifestly to the interests of the steel trust, tbe Standard Oil trust, the lum­ ber trust, and the rest, to have the Dingley tariff retained. It was therefore a commendable thing for the democratic candidate for the presidency to stand up io tbe lime light of conspicuous position and de­ nounce an evil that threatens the wel­ fare of the people. The American peo­ ple surely do not want their govern­ ment placed under obligations to the great monopolies and corporations that have grown inordinately rich and pow­ erful through tbe favoritism of tbe tar­ iff laws. The republican parly itself can not afford to make such an abject surrender to tbe Morgans and Rocke­ fellers and Vanderbilts. The question which Judge Parker so courageously raised is not one of pass­ ing moment. Though the election is now over, its vitality is not lost on lhat a cor nt. The words of warning which be uttered at tbe close of his speech are well worth quoting and taking to heart. He urged that it should be made a crime for tbo officers of a trust or cor­ poration to contribute money for the control of an election of any kind, and then said: “Great as are tbe problems before us in the near future, political, industrial and social, In my judgment none is so pressing as this, the greatest of moral questions. It includes all other issues, it lies at the foundation of all other problems, and its settlement by the ab­ solute and final exclusion of bribery, or the threat of bribery, or of the raising of money for this foul purpose is, to my mind, tbe most important question that can came befrre a free and moral people.” • Some of the Reasons For It. Now that tbe sweeping victory of the republican party has been recorded it will be in order to discuss the causes which accomplished it. No doubt the opinions will differ quite materially bat a careful analysis of tbe elements that enter into the problem will, we believe, point to three or four underlying eon­ ditions upon which the rest depend. To consider briefly three of them; First the general prosperity of toe country. It is dob necessary to assume that this prosperity is due to the repub­ lican party., nor does the herald believe so. The wonderful natural re­ sources of the country, the intelligence and energy of the American people and tbe beneficence of a favoring Provideuce are responsible for ibis prosper* ity. But the party in power always reaps the benefits of such a condition. So long as tbe American people are ab­ sorbed in business, they are inclined to be conservative in polities. The argu­ ment, "let well enough alone,” though it may oe the rankest sophistry when carefully analyzed, appeals to tbousands of men who have neither time nor inclination lo look beneath thesurface of things political. Such persons and there are hundreds and thousands of them, are not concerned whether the government is violating the princiPl- of the constitution or not, in its I treatment of tbe Filipinos. In fact they are Dot particularly interested in any of the issues on which tbe late cam­ paign was fought. Everything is ap­ parently prosperous and so they voted to retain the present administration in power. Second, the disparity in organization between tbe two parties. The republican party has the enormous advantage which tbe dispensation of patronage gives them. Ad army of office holders depending for their positions upon tbe continuance of the republican party in power hM been turned into a most ef­ fective machine to do campaign work. Then unlimited funds have been at tbe disposal of tbe republican national and state committees. All these instrumentulities have been looking to the demo­ cratic managers. The consequence is that tbe one partj* has been sadly hand­ Icappe4 in this important respect. Third, the lack of harmony in the democratic party. The campaigns of 1896 and 1900 brought discord into tbe ranks of tbe old democratic party and though that discord has been partially healed, owing to the noble efforts of tbe leaders who brought about the recon­ dilation at the St. Louis convention, it was too late for the reunited factions to become fully unified and enthused before the campaign against a powerful and thoroughly organized enemy had to begin. These are three of ihe forces that worked to bring about the remarkable victory for Theodore Roosevelt last Tuesday. None of them argues that the republican party is right in its prin­ ciples aud the democratic party wrong. The struggle was not a test of princi­ pled, nor particularly a campaign of education. The republican party won simply because the conditions were all I in their favor, nut because they stood ‘ for the best things iu politics, nor the right things in national ethics. Tbe American people will some day wake up to a realization of the worth of the doctrines which the now discredited parly of Jefferson, and Tilden and Parker stands for. and then there will be n day of judgment for the republican party. Until then the country will continue to be ruled by the forces that are now flushed with a great victory and reckless because of the triumph which they have won. The democratic national committee can make tbe proud declaration that it “hus not accepted for use in tbe cam­ paign a single dollar from tbe tariffbred trusts.” It is infinitely better u> be able to say this in defeat than to have to acknowledge lhat ihe trusts contributed t5,000,000 to their cam­ paign fund, as the republican national committee has virtually done. -SPECIAL WHILE THEY LAST. A 54x74 Blanket AT Wouldn’t it be cheaper next time just to announce that the whole repub­ lican ticket is elected aud thus save a whole lot of bother and worry? 60c. the Pair Now we eball have a chance to see whether Mr. Warner’s eleventh hour conversion to genuine primary reform was sincere or not. There isone issue before the country that will not down, whichever way elec­ tions go. That issue is tbe tariff ques­ tion. Professor Ferris will have one thing to console him. No horde of hungry office seekers will be after him. W. N. Ferris and W. L. Douglas got a lot of free’advertising out of their gubernatorial campaigns, anyhow. It really looks as though the peo­ ple wanted four more years of Teddy. tHt MALLE^fiifb The next great contest is the Michlgan-Chicago game at Ann Arbor.

Wortbley, a farmer about sixty yean old living about three aud one-half miles north-east of this city, was found dead in the cellar of his home (this morqing, under circum­ stances that require a thorough invest­ igation. It seems lhat Wortbley and his wife (who have no children) agreed to sepa­ rate and yesterday they divided up their possessions. Mrs. Wortbley went away and left her husband alone. This morning she returned to the house to finish tbe work of division of property and found him dead in tbe cellar. Report was sent to Sheriff Cortrigbt (about ten o’clock and as* soon as possible be land Coroner La­ throp went out to the place. The sher­ iff informs ihe Herald that be went into the cellar, which ia very small, and found Wortbley hanging by the neck, almost sitting on tbe bottom stair. There was a sharp cut over the left eye that appeared to have been made by a knife. From the wound blood had streamed profusely, cover­ ing his hands, and clothing and drip­ ping down on to the ground. There was no blood found about the house and no knife or weapon by which the wound could have been caused and the rope about his neck waa free from blood. A woman’s sunbonnet stained with blood was found io tbe house. Tbe rone waa fastened over a piece of board or scantling which waa fast­ ened up between two posts and served os a sort of shelf. It was very close to the floor and held a bottle and one or two other articles. After tbe viewing of tbe body by the jury which had been impanelled by Coroner Lathrop, the inquest waa adjourned until Satur­ day forenoon when it will meet at tbe court bouse. A post mortem exami­ nation will be made and the sheriff will make a thorough examination, as be is under tbe impression Lhat the man has met with foul play. Card of Thanks.

The Best Liniment. “Chamberlain’s Pain Balm Is con­ sidered the best liniment on tbe mar­ ket,” write Post & Bliss, of Georgia, Vt. No other liniment will heal a cut or bruise so promptly. No other af­ fords such quick relief from rheumatic pains. No other is so valuable for deep seated pains like lame back and pain in the CJest.

Do You Enjoy the Luxuty of Getting Up in Warm Rooms without having to Kindle Fires? If so, Buy Cole’s Original Hot Blast Stove Investigate To-day. Even Heat Day and Night Fire Never Out. It is the most economical stove made for hard coal, soft coal, slack or lignite coal, because it bums the gas half of the fuel wasted up the chimney with ail other stoves. Cuts the fuel bill In half. It has twice the positive radiating power of other stoves and the patented air-tight and gas-tight con­ struction saves all the gases and that large portion of the heat lost up the chimney with your old stove. AVOID IMITATIONS. We have told you much about Cole's Original Hot Blast. what others think of iu Please read ihe following letters telling FOR SOFT COAL Colf. MaxI'Facti’IHNG Co., Ckirago, JU. Agency, Iowa, November 24, 1908. GtiillaHtit,—Your stove is very satisfactory. I -.ised a Round Oak for a numlter of years and noted the quantity of coal used. 1 find your Hot Blast will do the same servMMi with al least one-h;.lf the coal. Otte year ago I used an imitation Hot Blast which was not satisfactory, as it was not air-tight and could m.t lx made so, hence would not bold fire over night or keep a steady fire by day. Cole's Hot Blast is tight, and ha- kept fire for us for two nighta and a day without attention, and blared up on opening up the drafts without a fresh supply of fuel. The heat ia given off regularly as you want it, and it is possible to maintain the temperature desired in the room. . • Very truly yours, C. F. Goltry. Cole Mani’facti ring Co.. Chietw, JU. Montrose, Colo. I think so highly of Cole's Hot Blast Stove lhat if I were without a heater T would not accept any other kind xs a gift if a Cole's Heater could be purchaser!. The good points in favor of Cole’s Hot Blast ate first, the great economy of fuel, and second, the ease and perfection with which the heat can be regulated. J. Holman. State School of Mines. Rapid Citv, S. D. Gnitlemeii.—After thoroughly testing your Hot Blast Stove for soft coal. I-would first say that more than half of suzft coal is volatile or gaseous, and a blight heating of the coal drives this gas up the chimney’, thus wasting it for available heat. Your method of prior heating of the air to over 500 degrees and your Top Hot Blast Draft, together with the air-tight base, distills the gases from the surface of the fuel, gives surface combustion, saves the waste ot other stoves, and gives a steady, controllable heat. It is tbe must economical and best healing stove I have ever tested. y t McGiutddy, President FOR HARD COAL Cr»Z*w™.—1 am using faur Cole's Hot fllust stove, homing bald . m all ot ihcni.and thy, are cheaper, give Is iie. sa.l-fa. lion, less trouble-, more heat and ate easier controlled than am .love 1 ever MW.

Nov. 14.—There are indica­ tions that If Kouropatkln decides tn attack Oyama before winter sets in in earnest he will strike his heaviest blow on tbe westward In (he hope of smashing the left wing of lhe Japa­ nese army near the railroad. All the news from the front shows this. Almost dally lhe Russian guns shell tbe Japanese positions, and Cos­ sack scouting parlies are constantly testing the Japanese lines in efforts to find places here and there weak enough for Infantry (o work through. The latest attempt was on last Fri­ day. when a force of SDO^Russians at­ tacked tbe Japanese line near Slaozalton. It was in no sense an attack intended to bring on a general engage­ ment. but it was much more formidable than any effort made by the Ruf-, elans In many days. Russian Shells Are Fawar. Pusan, Nov. 14.—The Russian forces are still encamped north of the Shakhe river. The Russian bombardment of the Japanese lines has lessened late­ ly. From the beginning it has accom­ plished surprisingly little damage, al­ though on many days a hundred big shells were fired. No Japanese were killed by the bombardment and only a few were wounded.

We saw. their modes of agriculture, how they make hemp, weave their fam­ ous Panama hats end hundreds of other things we never dreamed as coming from the Philippines. We went through their Woman’s building and several others. In che Woman’s building there was the finest and best of all that makes the work of Filipino women famous—such laces and silks, husi and pins cloth, shawls and bas­ kets, drawn work und weaving were never brought together in such quan­ tities before. All the buildings and bridges ure reproduced from Manila originals among them being the bridge of the famour Luneta drive across the Pasig river, the old fortress and ca­ thedral and typical homes of well-to-do Spaniards. We ended up as Mr. Fel­ der told us at the Igvrrote village which is the most interesting feature of all because of the strange modes of living of the natives in the village. One of their weird tribal dances was in progress; they were formed in a single column in a circle, their bodies bent forward and accompanying their mo­ tions with a jerky accompaniment of music made by gongs and cymbals chanting strange sounds meanwhile. When they gut tired and dropped out fresh dancers took their places making it a kind of continuous performance. With few exceptions they are finely formed, their rich brown skins oiled until they shone, reminded one of i smooth bronze.

No. 25 HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1904. TENDAYSATTHEEXPQSITION WONDERFUL PROGRESS SINCE WORLD S FAIR AT CHICAGO. Interesting Paper Read By Mrs. W. R. Cook Before the Hastings Women’s Club. (Concluded from last week.) The large amount of territory St. Louis had to offer worked to great ad. v antage with the foreign governments who desired to make elaborate exhib­ its. Instead of being hedged in with a little grassplot around their adminis­ tration building as at many expositions, here nearly every country supports a typical garden, and these are such an Interesting feature. The amount of gronnd allotted to the French govern­ ment alota was fifteen acres and is en­ closed with a beautiful iron fenoe. The French building is an exact copy of the Grand Trianon, which Louis XIV. built for Madam Maintenon, and tbe ground about it is a reproduction of the French gardens of Versailles. You almost feel yourself transplanted to foreign soil the moment you step in­ side the big. gate. Beautiful statuary, tiny lakes, stately trees, masses of shrubbery, a fountain playing in the centre of pink gravelled walks, the same color of the building gives us an idea of what a French garden is at its best and if we never get over to see it in real life we at least know’ exactly bow it looks. T wish I bad time to speak of the interior of the French building, but can only say the central room or grand salon, seemed to me to t>e in tbe most exquisite taste and harmony of anything I ever saw—none cun excel the French people in this line. Great Britian with a reservation al­ most as large has given us a reproduc­ tion of the Orangery, which Is the greenhouse at Kensington palace and which was designed by the famous architect, Sir Christopher Wren. It is surrounded by a typical English country seat garden of 200 years ago. Here are hedges, juniper and yews so trimmed as to resemble birds, peacocks, lions and other animals, and placed, in etone receptacles along a stately ter­ race. It only needs some quaint gowned girl and long haired gallant to bring tbe times “when knighthood was in flower” vividly before you. Tbe Japanese pavilion stands on a bill and their native gardeners in copy­ ing tbe gardens of the Mikado’s palace have given as picturesque an effect as can be seen anywhere on the ground. Quaint summer houses, grottos, fount­ ains and cascades with tall white storks strutting majestically around make a typical Japanese scene just such a one as we see on the painted wall banners we boy at the Japanese bazars. Brazil. Belgium and Germany's na­ tional pavilion’a are among the other notable ones, tbe architecture of the Belgium building being very striking. is painted a deep buff and without a window in, being lighted and venti­ lated from the roof. All this empty space on tbe outside is covered with mural paintings in the most exquisite colors representing typical scenes in their country* history. A current writer says most aptly: “When tbe nations of tbe globe come to line up alongside of one another at a world's fair some of the results are sur­ prising. It Is tbe place of all others where national brag is punctured.” I know with me one of the greatest sur­ prises the fldr afforded was to see the wonderful things in the mechanical, scientific and educational line from foreign countries standing alongside our own. I had always known that we most expect to see tbe great things in Mt and bric-a-brac, in marbles and bronzes, In tapestries, gowns and laces as bearing a foreign mark, but when it came to practical things I was ignorant enough to think we had a "cinch” on about everything of the kind. In the transportation and educational build­ ings these splendid foreign exhibits were particularly noticeable. I read the other day that the New York Cen­ tal had boug lit one of the fine French engines to put on their road, a greater speed being claimed for it than any now in their possession. Models of German school houses show they are equal in design and construction to tbe most modern ones in our own great American cities. In one section of the German educational < xhiblt we noticed a case filled with almost everything un­ der the sun, Howers, books, vases, stuffed birds, balls, etc., which are used in their schools for the little girls and boys to draw from. They do not have a copy drawn on the board or in a book for them to copy from, but they draw from tbe “real thing.” Think what an improvement in tbe general meth­ ods followed Id our school—how much originality this calls for and develops. Japan’s educational exhibit was one of the best. One of the most interesting features to me was their kindergarten corner where exactly the same work Is done by the tiny lingers of little Jap girls and boys ns in our own up-to-date schools. Noticing Dorothy’s interest the pleasant faced young man in charge explained many things to us, the great­ er share of which I couldn’t understand because be talked such broken English but 1 did understand enougli to know that he said that kindergarten methods were first introduced into their country, comparatively a few short years ago by missionaries from the United States. Nothing shows better than their edu­ cational exhibit the progress of this wonderful little nation, and we realize why they are giving the big and pow­ erful Russians a race for their life In the war now on. The examples of household furnish­ ings in tueGerman section of the Varied Industries building was also another tblog that made quite an impression on me. Their living rooms as shown here are marked with perfect taste and sim­ plicity, combined with elegance, and furnish an object lesson to Americans and tbelr cluttered up homes as to what real art is iu furnishing a house. The Japanese rooms were equally as oeautiful and restful to look on and one can understand why Japanese women are said to be the most even tempered women on earth, and why German women and children can always accom­ pany their husband and father to the beer garden—because they don't have to spend oo much time dusting. When the St. Louis fair is over a greater pan of tbe site will be occupied by a great university—The Washing­ ton University of St. Louis, a lew of the buildings being erected at the time the ground was leased by tbe exposition officials. The largest and finest of these buildings, fireproof and of stone is used as administration building and from its steps is one of the finest views on the grounds. Here was housed that superb exhibit which England sent to the fair, Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee gifts, and King Edward de­ serves tbe thanks of all good Americans for giving us the chance to see what otherwise we would have to go across the water to see. After looking long at case after case filled with all that was rarest in ivory and ebony, in gold and silver, and preclons stones, 1 asked one of tbe big English guards who kept keen eyes on the constant stream of visitors, tbe value placed on this mag­ nificent exhibit. He replied gravely, “No attempt has ever been made to do this. It is priceless for it represents the love and veneration in which Queen Victoria was held by her subjects, and a money value cannot be placed on such.” In this building was the an­ thropological exhibit where a good ehare of tbe Smithsonian Institution at Washington was to be seen. I remem­ ber particularly the mummies. Tbe first one I saw bad lived 500years B. C. I thought be seemed old enough to make a note of so I jotted down in my note book, “Mummy 500 B. C.,” but just a little way down was another one wheae age made tbe first one seem like a sprightly infant aa it were, "2500 B. C.” was the legend on the placard in front of bis sarcophagus. But ths ven­ erable cage of the whole collection was a mummy of the fourth dynasty from Gixeh who bad lived 4,000 years B. C. Here also waa tbe statue of tbe Egyptian king who had built the second pyra­ mid. I would never dream to gaze into his expressionless countenance that be could ever conceive, much less carry out such a stupendous undertaking— but his likeness may not have done him justice. After a loug day spent with Interest­ ing and instructive exhibits we found it a genuine relaxation to go down the Pike as the evening shadows were fall­ ing, rest and take our time over a good dinner end then start out to enjoy tbe fascinations along ibis mile and a half of famous roadway. The Pike may not be as elevating as the fair proper but I think all will agree tbe fair would not be half so delightful a» it is without the Pike There is nothing more interest­ ing than the study of our fellow beings, and here there is more of tbe human than elsewhere. One wants to be look­ ing in every direction going down or coming up. All creeds und costumes are here—the dapper little Filipino soldier in his neat uni form and inevit­ able cigarette. whole tribes apparently of Indians wrapped iu gorgeous blank­ ets, dark skinned people from the orient in loo^e white tunics with quest headdresses. Mexicans in wide som­ breros. Spaniards, Japanese, China­ men, Frenchmen, passing und rapassing. The decorative lighting along the Pike turns night into day and makes the sceue twice us alluring ns in the forenoon or afternoon, some concessibnarieu using as high as 12,000 lights on their attractions we are told. I cannot take the time to tell of all the attractions we visited but they were really fine and had the charm of nov­ elty. I will mention only one, the most pretentious. The Tyrolean Alps which is the grandest structure devoted to amusements ever erected at an expo­ sition. Il cost 8750,(Mio and is realistic enough to satisfy the most critical. It represents a Tyrolean village lying at the foot of beautiful snow-capped mountains, towering perhaps 280 feet above you. real rocks and rivulets of water, and real gra-s and Howers begin where the painted ranvnss leaves off and makes the illusion complete. In a grotto at the base of the mountains a company of Tyrolean singers in native costumes, with sweet bird-like voices, unspoiled by training, sang nt frequent intervals. We are rented at tables In the square or market place of the vill­ age, glancing around one sees an an­ cient church, where ecenes from Ober Ammergau are being given: pictur­ esque shops, litLie cottages are all around centering on this square. 1 felt as though 1 was really in Switzerland. An electrical fountain in tbe central gives a beautiful effect. Modest Swiss flower girls pass through the crowd of spectators silently offering nosegays for sale; over head was the moon und stars adding a touch of realism to the whole scene. Time purses all too quickly here, one could linger fascinated for hours. I cannot bear to dismiss tbe Pike without mentioning another attraction —Tht Scenic RailWuy. Two reasons are paramount for my mentioning such a comparatively trival attraction and skipping Hagen beck's and Creation without a word. First, to put a scenic railway iu its true light before all who may be 03 ignorant as was I as to the real nature of the thing. And second­ ly, that for once I can have the privi­ lege of giving my own version of my experience as I am never permitted to do if Mr. Cook or my daughter are around. I had never been to Coney Island or I might have known more about v.hat I was getting into. Com­ ing up to its entrance from the bead of the Pike one fulls to see that undulat­ ing toboggan slide which winds up and down a high fenced enclosure. We had just comes from the Palais du Cos­ tume and the name of the attraction somehow suggested to me that we would seat ourselves in the innocent looking little cars that stood in plain sight of tbe'entrance on a little slope surrounded by artificial trees and mir­ rors and glide gently around gazing into grottoes and other picturesque spots where instructive and historical scenes would await our gaze. There was never a greater slaughter of the innocent. Mr. Cook took his seat in tbe rear car with Dorothy, Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn took tbe next and 1 sat alone for a few seconds in tbe third. Just as we were about to start three young men came up, one taking the va­ cant seat beside me tbe other two the only car left in front. You can imagine my horror when starting off with the speed of a cannon bull we shot like lightning up what seemed a wooden mountain and on reaching the top took what seemed to my frightened senses a sheer drop of 500 feet, then up and down, up and down, shooting appar­ ently from the crest of one to tbe crest of the other, right through the air. When we took that first awful plunge I grasped wildly at tbe arm of the young man beside me and seized the collar of the young man io front with iron grasp. Now this is the true and autbentic version—I did not throw my arms around either of their necks as has been erroneously aud maliciously stated, but 1 will acknowl­ edge I held a firm grip where I did grub on. I have always a horror of quick dropping elevators and t-imular sensa­ tions but it’s like comparing a veloci­ pede with the Empire State Express to put the scenic railway and an elevator in tbe same class.

Through half shut eyes 1 saw we were at last back to our start­ ing place, but instead of stopping im­ agine my despair tvhen it went right on—we were to go twice around. I shut my eyes, hung on, and never opened them again until we stopped — then I stepped out, breathed a good, deep breath of air.

It Is said that our civilization und advance in mechanical and liberal arts was moved forward a quarter of a century aa a result of the Columbian Expo­ sition at Chicago, and thoughtful men who have studied the effect of expo­ sitions, hold that the national govern- mem should itself bear all the expense of a world’s exposition as often as every eight years—that no expenditure could bring more general or lasting results, so great is the impetus given to every industry. If this is true wo can ex­ pect to hear of wonderful in .'entions and wonderful advances in every line of industry as a result of this great ex­ position at St. Louis.

The secretary’s report showed that the association has 400members in good standing, Twenty-one comrades died during the year and twenty-five were added to the membership. The total amount paid in death benefits was 81,­ 050.00 aud tbe miscellaneous expenses were 8160.10. There were twelve assess­ ments and the collections amounted to 81,434.90. The excess of receipts over expenditures was8215.80, which, added to the previous balance makes a total reserve fund of 8570.03. A motion was made and carried that the wives of the old soldiers of Barry county be admitted on the same basis as other members. The associaliun has paid in benefits since its organization three years ago, 82,533.75. It will bo seen by these figures and facts that the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Death Benefit.

Government officials have pretty gen­ erally settled down to work again after । tho hurly-burly of the campaign. The president is writing his message. Or, to stale it more accurately, he is get­ ting his subordinates to write it. Not since the studious and meditative days of John Quincy Adams has any presi­ dent written bis annual message. In fact our national affairs are now socomErehensive and complicated that no uman brain could master all the de­ tails and u statement of them can only be approximated even with tire assist­ ance of all the members of the Cabinet. The secretary of the interior, for in­ stance, has more than two hundred bureaus, institutions, co amissions and agencies to superintend, und the new: secretary of commerce und labor is ex-1 peeled to try to cover about ns many. ' That part of Mr. Roosevelt's annual I proclamation which refers to tariffs, banks, and finances will be contributed by Secretary Shaw: tliut part which refers to Panama nnd onr foreign allairs. by Mr. Hay, X*c. They are all now busy dictating nnd "boiling down.” The president, having preserved the dignity of his office by keeping off the stump during the campaign, is now ready to "swing round tne circle” to u certain extent as soon a* he can get away from Washington. This will not be till spring, of course, but then be moans to make a large sweep including Georgia and other portions of the Sooth. He thinks be may have been misunder­ stood there to some extent and Georgia newspapers seem very much in need of conciliating and hope be will retract some of tho things he has said and not make a social call on Booker Washing­ ton. In thia same line may be mentioned the two remarkable gtand concerts given this week In our largest hall be­ fore an nudlenco of three or four thou­ sand. including members of the cabi­ net and at least a thousand of our most prominent whfte citizens. Tho com­ poser of the production is a negro, Samuel Colerldge-Toylor of London and he held tbe baton at the perform­ ances with great animation and earnest­ ness. The solois'.s were negroes, the chorus of two hundred were negroes, the solo violinist and pianist, negroes, and tbe orchestra consisted of fifty-two pieces of the U. S. Marine Band. It must be admitted that the affair was a success unique in America, as being ihe highest type of negro concert ever giv­ en In this country, and therefore in the world, and it was vastly creditable to the entertainers. It was altlrmed by tbe soi-disant anti* imperialists that the suppression of newspapers in Manila for constructive treason would be followed by limita­ tions of free speech in America. Now comes the Dews that W. A. Sutherland, of the war department, bus "vigorous­ ly censured" one Miguel Nied so, a young Filipino student at tbe Illinois state normal school, for speaking and writing disapprovingly of tbe friars contract and "the methodsuf the Cath­ olic church in tne Philippines.” Who is Mr. Sutherland, that be should use the muzzle?—Since writing the above question, I have called up the war de­ partment by telephone and connected with Mr. Sutherland. I asked him about reprimanding young Miguel. He replied, “I did not reprimand him, but only warned him not to publicly discuss politics or religion while weare sending him to our schools*” .“Whose schools do you refer to?” I asked. "Any school In this country,” be said. “Who is sending him to our schools?’' “Wc are—the United States govern­ ment.” "Who pays for his schooling, if you please?" “Why, the Filipinos। pay for it.” “As I unders and it, then, a Filipino boy wbtae board and tuition are paid for by tbe Filipinos themselves, cannot be permitted to discuM tbe politlcal or i eliglous affairs of the PhilipSine islands white he is within our bor­ ers?” "I did not censure him al all— not tbe least.” “Ab. you only warned him in the name of this government?” "Who are you? 1 don't like to talk over tbe telephone." Your corres­ pondent revealed himself to the war department and added that he i>resumed he was talking with Mr. Suther­ land, of the insular bureau and super­ intendent of Filipino pupils in the United Stales. He assented and add­ ed that he bad only done bls duty. Primary Money for Barry County.

On one occasion during tbe war Ma­ jor Seely said be was Instructed to get some volunteers and try to cap­ ture a commandant at a farmhouse some twenty miles away. He got the men read}* and they set out. It was a rather desperate enterprise, but they got to tbe farmhouse all right, only to find, however, that tbe elusive Boer bad cleared out in an unknown direc­ tion. It was vitally important that the British force should get some informa­ tion, for it became a question perhaps of tbe Boers catching them and not they catching tbe Boer commandant. At tbe farmhouse they saw a good looking Boer boy and some yeomen. Major Seely asked tbe boy If tbe com­ mandant bad been there, and be said in Dutch, taken by surprise, "Yes.” "Where lias lie gone?’’ was tbe next question, and tbe boy became sus­ picious and answered, “1 do not know.” "I decided then.” continued Major Seely, "to do a thing for which 1 hope I may be forgiven, because my men’s lives were in danger. 1 threatened the boy with death if be would not dis­ close tbe whereabouts of the general. He still refused, and I put him against a wall and said I would hare him shot. At the same time I whispered to my men, ’For heaven’s sake, don’t shoot' "The boy still refused, although 1 could see he believed 1 was going to have him shot. 1 ordered the men to present. Every rifle was leveled at the boy. ’Now,’ I said, ’before I give tbe word, which way bus tbe general gone?* . ”1 remember tbe look Id the boy’s face—a lock such as 1 have never seen before but once. He was transfigured before me. Something greater almost than anything human shone from his eyes. He threw back lib* bcud and said in Dutch.

None of them has the absolutely air-tight and gas-tight construction throughout which Cole’s Hot Blast has by reason of its numerous Kents. A patented steel collar connects the elbow draft to the stove !y and can not open by action of the fiercest heat. The patented compound hinge on the lower draft can not warp, and the draft door closes air-tight by its own weight. The patented smoke-proof feed door prevents smoke, dust or gas escaping when fuel is put in the stove. Perfect results, therefore, from any fuel. The heavy fire box protects the points where other stoves burn out first, and insures great durability. Read the following letter: I /**_ f i4irhrs AlJ imitations soon open up seams and cracks which VUUUUH make them fuel eaters rather than fuel savers.

Of -the members of the next house 134 only will be democrats, and blessed are they who expect nothing, for verily they -shall not be disappointed. Fifty or sixty senators and members have called on the president during the past week. They were met with the cordial salutation “Now, then, look a-here, boys! we’ve got ’em just where we want ’em. We must show ’e n that we know enough to manage the trusts and keep ’em from robbing the Ameri­ can people.

There Is Little Chance That Any General Legislation Will Be Enacted. RIVER AND HARBOR MEASURE Only One Bill Outside cf the Annual Appropriations That Is Likely to Go Through—No Chance for Pure Food Washington. Nov. 2,3.—Congress re­ assembles Dec. 5. Senators and mem­ bers are beginning to come to town. Perhaps one-fifth of the combined membership of the two houses has ar­ rived. Some of these came early to place their children in school and the others are here to look after depart­ mental business and to prepare for the busy short session. "The approaching session will expire at noon on March 4, just ninety days from its beginning. That gives It thirteen weeks in which to prepare the appropriation bills and to enact such other legislation as it deems necessary. But out of that time is to be taken two weeks for the Christmas holidays. Sixty-tlx Working Days. Ellminatihg Washington's birthday and Sundays there are but sixty-six working days. With such a short period in which to prepare and enact the great government supply bills congress will have as much as it can do to get them finished. For this rea­ son it is practically impossible that there can be any general legislation. Several bills already passed by the house and on the senate’s calendar may,, it serious opposition does not de­ velop, become laws before tho repre­ sentatives are ready to begin sending appropriation items to the upper body. Philippine Measure. Among these is the one authorizing tbe Philippine government to guar­ antee 5 per cent return on actual in­ vestment for railroad construction, provided, however, that the total charge on the insular treasury shall not aggregate more than >1,500,000 annually. This guaranty is regarded as absolutely necessary if the developmeasure will be so strong as to serimensuiate with its possibilities. In view of the overwhelming decis­ ion of the people to retain the Philip­ pines, it is thought wholly unlikely that Democratic opposition to the meassue will be so strong as to seri­ ously menace its passage. This may be the only new legislation enacted. 1 No Pure Food Legislation. The pure food bill will develop too much debate to have any chance. In its general principles the senate seems to believe it is right, but some of its provisions are regarded as so drastic os to seriously interfere with legiti­ mate business. It would take too much time to whip it into proper shape. One appropriation bill will be pass­ ed that is not one of the annual sup­ ply. This is the river and harbor measure, which it is now customary to pass every alternate year. It will lie ready to report at an early date. The committee held many hearings at the last session and has all the data necessary for framing the bill. The chief difficulty will be in keeping the measure within reasonable limits. This is particularly necessary, as govern­ ment expenditures are already suffi­ ciently heavy to exceed the revenues. Tarrytown, N. Y„ Nov. 28.—For .. ice years John D. Rockefeller has •rdenvored to buy John .1. Molln's :-r>'perty in Briggsville without cuec?rs. Melin keeps a small tavern on she road to the Standard OH king's .'tome, it Is obnoxious to him and ho .las time and time again tried to get possession of the land. He even tried to get Molln's license revoked. So far Melin has beaten Im. When Mr. Rockefeller realized r.e could not oust Melin he made a new move, that of taking Molln's busi­ ness away from him. That is what •r.nny believe is his principal reason for buying up Briggsville. If Mr. Rockefeller buys the lend and there are no people to patronize Melin, why there Is nothing for Melin to do 1-i't rinse out at Rockefeller’s price. Mr. Rockefeller's recent purchases have had their effect on Melin al­ ready. his business dwindling away and those who frequent bis place say , that he is losing money. । Melin was asked what he thought •if Mr. Rockefeller’s plan of buying up , Briggsville. •■Oh,” said lie, "I don’t know. Mr. Rockefeller is too deep for me." "Has he made you an offer yet" "No. ’ He will leave me to the last. and after he has surrounded my land he will bring me to terms.” "Will you sell?” “Yes.

Russia's Crisis. fluently than any other nation-mak­ ers In history, and it is because the American people have always ad­ hered to this democratic prin­ ciple that this nation has not gone the way of tbeancient republics, Equality before the law, special privileges for (none, no class legislation, equal oppor­ tunity for every man to make the most ' 1that is in him—these] are cardidal 'doctrine* in the creed of this republic. But when tbe president gives utter­ 1ance to auch principles, he is putting forth an argument that does not har­ monize with the radical protectionist wing of his own party. There is a certain class of inordinately rich peo­ ple In this country who have been made so by the discrimination of tbe tariff laws. Whatever of class.feeling exists among our people ha* been gen­ erated for the most part by the work­ ings of a law which enables a few beneficiaries to make tremendous fortunes at tbe expense of the rest of the people. Class legislation inevitably tends to array das* against class, a thing which threaten* to bring about that very thing which Mr. Roosevelt says is fatal to our ideal—a republic of classes. If he wants to do his country a lasting benefit he will [strive to remedy the favoritism of laws which are more truly respcnrible for class feeling than any­ thing else—the present tariff laws. No one can read history without being impressed with the fact that nation* have made progress towards liborty only by strife, frequently only by bloodshed and revolution. All the natlon* of Europe except Russia have reached some measure of civil liberty through such means, and some of them today are nearly as far advanced in representative seif government a* our own great republic. Notably is this true of England and France. Even Spain is making progress towards popular government, while the German people would not brook interference with their traditional rights even by their imperial “War Lord,” the kaiser. But Russia has lain (formant, as it were during all the struggles of tbe peo­ ples of western Europe to wrest their righto from the governing classes. Lethargy and ignorance and supersti­ tion seem to have made the masses of Russia incapable of asserting their natural rights. Between themselves and the governing power there is a great gulf fixed. The autocrat who wears the crown is the government and the people have no part in it except to pay their heavy taxes, obey Impltalty the will of the czar and fight his battles for him whenever he makes war. The poor peasants must suffer whatever in­ justice their master's officials may in­ flict upon them without complaining. The czar is away above them and they can not reach him with their sorrows and troubles and he can not understand their needs, nor sympathize with their sorrows because he is so completely re­ moved from them. But there are evidences of an awaken­ ing in Russia. The long continued op­ pression of tbe people, the Bufferings which they have so long endured, the evils of a pitiless form of government seem to have awakened them at last from their stolidity, and there is dan­ ger of revolution in tbe czar’s domin­ ions, tbe Japanese war lending courage to the spirit of discontent. The strong­ est manifestation of tbe new spirit that ia cropping out in European Russia, however, and one that is most promis­ ing of reform without the horrors of revolution, is the recent movement of the Zemstvoista The Zemstvo is a provincial a-sembly composed of the landed proprietor* and representatives of the artisan classes. These provlndal bodies recently held a congress and drew up a memorial to tbe exar asking for a constitutional government, and netting forth the need of political reforms if the empire is to be aaved from revolution. The very fact that this congress was held with the emper­ or's knowledge and consent waa in itself a marked ^concession for the auto­ crat to make, but he haa gone much farther than that. Net only did Nicholas permit this congress and accept the memorial bat he was so deeply impressed with the V 4 1 violence to tbe person of the president. But tbe hard, cold fact is not to be gainsaid that there are malicious per­ sons, and cranks and degenerates, even in this free land—and that their “gen­ eral cussedness ” is something that has to be reckoned with and guarded against, when the chief servant of this republic mingles with his fellow citi­ zens.

The letter he had just finished reading obvlou*iy did not please him. He re­ turned tbe delicately scented missive to Its envelope and leaned back in bls chair. “Hang the new minister!” he com­ mented mentally. “Hang Lent too’’’ be added aloud. * “ ‘Faithfully yours, Georgiana.” ’ he repented. “And she signs herself that way because the new minister always uses that form, does she? ‘Isn’t It fas­ cinating? she asks in her Inevitable postscript No, I cannot agree with Georgiana. It has no fascination to me. Inasmuch as she lias always signed herself, ‘Lovingly, Georgie.’ ” Eaton began to pace the room, and *s he thought over Georgiana’s letter be grew more disturbed in mind. It waa all about Lent and sewing bee* and flower guilds and parish aid soci­ eties and the new minister. The pas­ tor said purple was tbe proper Lenten color, and she had a new gown of that shade in which she looked “perfectly stunning." Aside from purple being the penitential color, the new minister adored it, of course, after bls college colors, orange and black. He was a Princeton man. “A Princeton cad, probably!" thought Eaton as be continued to make a cir­ cuit of his room every half minute. “Girls are Billy over the cloth and brass buttons. One Is as bad as tbe other.** AU the prejudice* Eaton ever had against minister* and girls and humanity In general came trooping In­ to his ruffled thoughts. He and Georgiana, although they were not definitely engaged, had more or teas of an understanding as to their future, and ■Ince-he had been in Bos­ ton Georgiana’s letters had been a continual source of comfort to him. And now, because It was Lent, she ■aid—because, of the new minister, Eaton believed—she would have to de­ prive herself of the pleasure of writing to him so often. She would save the ■tamp pennies for her contribution box. Tbe new minister was so en­ thusiastic about having a large Easter offering, and she was going to help ■ ■aa <UM&ns r mid late when he reached the Cnreltox. home that night, and. to his surprise, he was told that Miss Georgiana was in the study. “With the ‘new minister,' be thought, as he waited for her. His heart dropped deeper and deeper into ' ' the despair that hud been drawing it down for weeks. Could she not save one evening for him when she had not •een him for months? All smiling and radiant and. If Eaton could only have detected IL with a wicked little twinkle in her eyes, Georgiana appeared In the doorway. “Gordon!” she cried and lield out both her hands. Eaton took them In his own, but be was formal in his man­ ner. “Georgiana,” was all lie said. “We’re just rehearsing tho sermon," she said wickedly. “Come on In.” And •he drugged him unwillingly from the room. This was more than he had expected, but Georgiana left him no alternative but to follow her. She even held on to his hand. Was she going to enter tho presence of the new minister In this fashion? “He’s so anxious to see you, Gor­ don,” wild Georgiana as they crossed the hall. Eaton wished he had not come. Georgiana opened the study door. “Jack," she said to the young man un­ der tbe green lamp, “Gordon’s come." And then she stood in the middle of the floor and watched the two men grasp hands. “Jack Carelton,” said Eaton after a minute. “What the—that is—Georgi­ ana, why didn’t you tell me?" Georgiana laughed and sat down in the big leather chair under the light. “I wanted to get some fun out of Lent when Jack made me work so bard to help him In his new parish. And tills was such fun! Your letters—oh, I did laugh so!” “Yes,” added Carelton, “Georgiana’s a (rump of a sister for a rising young curate.” He was not ministerial In bls manner of talking to his sister. “Well, I say, Carelton, suppose you go now and study up on the marriage service," said Eaton hlntfully. And when Carelton looked back ns be left the study he decided to take Eaton's advice. The Ftikrrai*i’i Bewret. They had a fishing clnb in one of the middle states; the keeper and factotum of the club was “Old Sammy." Despite his healthful occupation, age grew on him, and unable longer to “watch” the river, there was only one place for the. lone old man—the county house. Here, as the end was surely coining, tbe pas­ tor of tbe- cburch was asked to see him. To meet the Great Proprietor with a vast accumulation of debt Is an ordeal that every wise man may well dread and seek to prepare for. Tbe man with the gospel, trying to In­ duce Sum to see the prime necessity of climbing the cliff to touch the place of blood, was leading him to admit bls bankrupt condition, that he might claim mercy of him whose “property is to have mercy and to forgive.” “Sammy, I expect you’ve done many things you wish you hadn't done; haven't you. Dow?” But Sumuiy was noncommittal. “Well, now," pursued his visitor, “if you had your life to live over again, wouldn’t you do differently in some respects?" “Maybe I would," was the cautious rejoinder. “Well, now. sup­ pose you bad the chance of living all the*e years over again, in what par­ ticular would you do differently?" Af­ ter a minute’s silence, tbe old man. true to tbe ruling spirit, strong even In death, replied: “Well, if I had my life to live over again. I'd fish more ■with bait than with fly.”—Outlook. uros xm* him. It was only right that one should dray oneself tbe greatest pleasures one had Id life during Lent “It must be a great pleasure “ mused The Duke cf Holstein, in his ’Travels In Muscovy and*Persia" (1G34J). give* a foil account of a wonderful vegetable growing in the neighborhood of th* city of Samara, Russia, and known a* the “lamb er aheap gourd.” Tbe duke aays: “It most resemble* a iamb in all it* member* and on that account la called *tb* lamb gourd.’ It change* place in growing a* far a* the vine or ■talk will reach, and wherever it turns the gras* withers.

Eaton wanted to use some im­ polite adjective* before writing con­ tribution box, but, ID deference to Georgiana, be refrained. The stamp* failed in their purpose, for Georgiana did not write often, and her letters were brief and devoted to a recital of her Lenten duties. Once she condescended to become personal and tell him how lovely she looked in that royal purple gown and to express a wish that he might see her in IL Eaton echoed a.portion of her wish only.

There never was a better opportunity for persons suffering from diseases of the heart, nerves, liver, stomach and k:dneys to test, free, a remarkably suc­ cessful treatment for these disorders. Dr. Miles Is known to be a leading spe­ cialist in these diseases and his liberal offer is certainly worthy of serious con­ sideration by every afflicted reader. This opportunity may never occur again. His system of personal treatment Is thoroughly scientific and immensely superior to other methods. It includes several new remedies carefully selected to suit each individual cose and is the final result of twenty-five years of very extensive research and great success in treating these diseases. Each treatment consists of a curative elixir, tonic tablets, eliminating pills and usually a plaster. Extensive sta­ tistics clearly demonstrate that Dr. Miles’ personal treatment is at least ' three times as successful as the usual treatment of physiolans or general rem­ edies sold at the stores.

ESSIE stood over the kitchen sink busily washing the breakfast dishes and sighing as she did ho. ■ for It was monotonous work. “Oh, dear,” she grumbled, “I just; wish I had all my time to myself dur­ ing vacation the way the otiy girls . do. Dishes nre fearfully tiresome.” ■ Just then a scissors grinder coming along the street culled, “Scissors to grind; scissors to grind,” in a very pleasant voice. Jessie went to the door ns he knocked and said very po­ litely, “No, thank you, we haven’t any dull scissors today.” The grinder was a young Italian boy, giul he looked so tired nnd forlorn that Jessie stood by the door a moment nnd looked at him pityingly. “Are you thirsty?” she asked pleas­ antly. “It’s such a,hot day, perhaps you would like a glass of Ice water.” “Tanka,” sold the boy, showing his white teeth as Jessie handed It to him. “Vera sorra you got no scissor to grind.” continued he, “not one pnlr dis week. Vera discouraged.” And be picked up his machine and started down the steps. _ "Poor thing,” thought the little girl to herself, “I’m awfully sorry for him. J "Nicer to see show,” said the boy. “Better come. I join a month ago. Have good luck ever since. Scissor business no good." “That’s nlee," said Jessie. “I wish I could come, but we c-cun’t afford it,” ■lie ended, turning red. The boy smiled broadly. “I give back your kindness, lady," he said; “you and little boy come to circus, ask for Tony, and J come let you In free." Just then, with an extra blast of trum­ pets, the parade shirted, and Jessie had only time to gasp out “thank you" be­ fore he was gone. It seemed Just too good to bo true. "Do think, mother, I am really going to tiie circus after all, and Horry too! Oh, I can’t believe It—I can’t believe i Messrs. I Stevenson and Christie of lown. in an extensive study of drainage conditions । In the state, mention, as a point II brought out by their Investigations. | ! that a large number of farmers hold ' that their land would not be benefited by undcrdnilnlng, owing to the fact thnt It Is rolling and therefore ade­ quately drained by tbe means nature provided. The number of those who bold this view regarding the drainage of rolling land Is so large and the sub­ ject Is one of such far reaching economic importance that It is con­ sidered as follows In bulletin 78 of tbe state experiment station:' Is it true thnt rolling land and hill­ sides are not bcnetlted by drainage? On many hillsides there are soft, spon­ gy places which nre frequently too wet for cultivation nnd which render the lower land partially or wholly unpro­ ductive by reason of water which seeps from these springy places nnd finds Its way, usually underground, toward the draws. During the past two seasons thousands nnd thousands of acres of undralncd hillside hind have been a source of untold loss to their owners. This loss will not be abso­ lute If the experience gained during these years of light crops enables land­ owners to renlly grasp the fact that drainage will dry up these wet places on hillsides and reclaim the lower land for profitable crop production. Again, ninny farmers do not appre­ ciate the value of draining rolling land. They do not understand the results which follow tiling land of this char­ acter. On hillsides having n clay sub­ soil the water which falls upon the surface will sink Into the soil and be carried off underground instead of over the surface If an underdrain has been located In the subsoil at the depth of three or four feet When these hill­ sides are drained this surplus water will be readily carried off, with tbe result that the soil will not become so thor­ oughly saturated and surface washing will, in a large measure, be prevented. In a few years this well drained land will be greatly improved bj- the ac­ cumulation of humus within tbe sur­ face soil, by the circulation of the air among the soil particles and by the action of the soil bacteria, which now. for the first time, find within Its depths a suitable nnd congenial home. On hillsides not fully drained the sur­ face soil permeable by water is very thin and frequently underlaid by a still and almost Impervious clay. Tbe re­ sult is that when beating rains fall they carry more or less of this surface soil Into the valleys below. This action annually removes a considerable por­ tion of the most fertile soil and Is one of the most potent factors In keeping these rolling lands less productive than ; thej* would lx? under more rational • management. Crimson clover Is an annual grown usually for two special purposes. either as a winter cover crop or for soiling. The plant possesstw considerable econo in I c value ns a forage crop for dairy­ men, nnd wlten its habits of growth ■re better understood It will be more highly esteemed as an early soiling Crimson clover will flourish on a va­ riety of soils, but seems to prefer a sandy loam. It Is a vigorous grower nnd owing to Its strong root develop­ ment Is capable of securing nourish­ ment from soils which will scarcely support red clover. The principal cause of failure with this crop Is perhaps late seeding in tbe fall. The seed should be sown In Au­ gust, if practicable, on land thnt has been cultivated during the summer. A very good plan Is to sow on corn land Immediately before the last cultivation, which, of course, should not be too deep. In some agricultural sections It But It was true, and that afternoon Jessie and Harry presented themselves fcj sown on grain stubble after a thor­ at tbe wonderful circus tent and folough disking, but this method Is rarely terlngly asked for Tony. In about successful without timely fall rains. two minutes he came out and escorted When sown on ground that has pro­ the two happiest children in town to duced a cultivated crop there is usually their seats right in front of the middle sufficient moisture to germinate the ring. I never could pretend to tell you seed promptly. This gives the plant an al! the tilings they saw, for It would opportunity to attain a considerable be impossible, but, oh, they bad such growth before winter. Tbe success of ■ good time! the crop depends largely upon proper development of the plants In the fall. Fifteen to twenty pounds of seed should be sown to the aero. When crimson clover is sown early it Is usually ready to cut for soiling at this station from the 1st to the 10th of May. It not only furnishes an early supply of green feed, but Is also’ exceed­ ingly palatable. The plant, under fa­ vorable conditions, stools freely, and the stems, while large, are not woody. Stock will consume every vestige of the plnut with relish. Crimson clover is rich In protein; hence Is valuable for draft horses as well ns for dairy stock. It is better fed green than in the form of hay, al­ though It makes good bay when cut at the proper stage of development. For the purpose of liny It should be cut just ns soon as it Is in full bloom. If cutting is deferred later tbe hay becomes dangerous, owing to the hard­ ness of the hairs upon the seed hull. Animals fed on overripe hay made from this clover have been troubled with "hair balls" in tbe digestive track, sometimes producing death. In addition to its value for soiling it also makes good ensilage. For this purpose It should lie put into the silo when In full bloom.

JI.OO’a Yeak Mrs. James A. Hewes. A VERY PLEASANT EVENT. Harriet Amanda Fancher was born near Mohawk, Herkimer Ainty, N. ¥., Mar. If), 18.31, and died from cancer of stomach at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. W. Meyers, in Grand Rapids, Dec. 4, 1904, aged 73 years. In 1850, on her nineteenth birthday she was united in marriage with Jas.’ M. Hewes and shortly afteaward they moved to Ohio, where they remained for about two years. Not satisfied with their location they removed to Hast­ ings, then a young and thriving village. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hewes, George, Mottle and Mary, only the latter living to reach the age of maturity. Mrs. Hewes was identified with the early history of Hastings and watched the development of the place from the .time when there were but a few strag­ gling houses. For over fifty years her home wag on the same corner; the latch-string was Reception to the School Board and Teachers. Monday evening the beautiful home of Mr. und Mrs. J. T. Lombard, corner of Green street and Broadway, was the scene of a very delightful reception, given by them to the membere of the board of education and their wives and to the teachers of the city schools. Roses, earnations and chrysanthe­ mums enhanced the natural charm of the Lombard mansion, the tables being decorated with the school colors, yellow and white. Hand painted place cards were at each plate. A six course dinner engrossed the attention of the guests for a couple of hours, and when tbe delicacies of the repast had been thus thoroughly dis­ cussed, Mr. Lombard announced to bis guests that tbe occasion was the tenth anniversary of the first occupancy »f his present home. Miss Allison acted as toastmistress and called upon W. D. Hayes to toast tbe teachers which he did to a turn. Superintendent Cham­ berlin replied in behalf of the teachers. Commissioner Ketcham then discussed the new normal department. Solos were sung by Mr. Wallace and Miss Osborn and an instrumental duet was rendered by Edith and Anzoletta Lom­ bard. The remainder of the evening was spent In games and amusements such as schoolma’ams are wont to en­ gage in when relaxing from their usual dignity.

A Pretty Wedding. A very pretty wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Strausbaugh in Carlton Wednesday evening, Nov. 30, when their daughter, Pheba Maude, was united in marriage to Claude R. Fighter of Irving. Promptly at 7:30 o'clock, to the sweet strains of tbe wedding march played by Miss Freda Billingsley, the bridal party descended the stairs and entered tbe parlor. First came Rev. W. D.

Thaeka»ay*a Mi Way*. Superintendent Chamberlin has fin­ isbed his course of lectures on primary methods, delivered before tbe normal class. This week the class begins the •tody of elementary agriculture. On Thnrsdaf last, the dan enjoyed a most delightful talk by Miss Allison on “The Land of Evangeline” which she visited daring the past summer. Tbe address was peculiarly appropriate as Che class baa just completed a study of the poem. C. A. Snow A Co., patent lawyers of Washington, D. C., have sent us p handy vest pocket diary, memorandum and account book for 1905. It contain' calendars for 1905 and 1906, a census of cities and states, common business laws, court decisions in patent eases and Other valuable information. It is such a book m every man needs all the time. C. A. Snow A Co. will send it to any address ou receipt of actual post­ age, two cents. This pocket diary would . cost elsewhere from 10 to 25 cents and is indispensable to those who know bow to use it. The inauguration of the free delivery service during the past week haa made life a burden to tbe post office official* abd especially to the carriers. One of the latter, Charles Gaskill, after one day’s experience, made up his mind that his new occupation was toostrtnuous for him and banded to hi* resigna­ tion. This broughvit up to the substi­ tute, G. 8. Crook, and he at once tackled tbe job and to still holding to “He wrote a very small, neat hand and used slips of note paper,” said the late John Hollingshead of London con­ cerning Thackeray. “These he would often gather up and put in his coat roekdt, leaving his secretary at work, and stroll down to the Athenaeum club. Here, if be could get a comfortable ta­ ble and was not waylaid by any gos­ sip, to whom he was always ready to give an attentive ear, he would pull out his slips and carry his story a few step* farther. In an hour or two he would again collect the scattered pa­ pers and go on to the Garrick club, where, if not Interrupted, he would re­ sume his writing. This habit of com­ posing in public frightened many of the old club fogies, who thought they were being caricatured for posterity, and no doubt helped to get him black­ balled at the Travelers'.” The unlvena to under the reign of tow, which to everywhere—in things mean and minute as well u in things noble and great So far as we have come into an understanding of these laws wj have found none defective.

It is very important that horses lnr tended for the city markets bo well fattened. This can usually be done by feeding a mixture of coarse fodder, corn, oats and bran.

Tbe trunk Is thirty feet in circumference. A wall of masonry surrounds it and supports the two main branches. It Is believed to be more than 2,000 yean old. The Board of Trade’s Efforts. Though the board of trade which was organized last spring has not made a great deal of stir, it must not be In­ ferred on that account that it is either defunct or sleeping. The fact is 'its board of directors has been keenly alive to the duties that it has undertaken to perform, but it has found tbe task of advancing the industrial welfare of the city beset with many difficulties. There are plenty of incipient manufacturing concerns that are ready to locate in Hastings, but they are for the moat part of a character that wants a great deal and promises little in return. Secretary Brown has had much corres­ pondence with ibis class of manufact­ urers, and in a few instances that seemed to warrant investigation, parties have oome here with a view to further investigation and personal in­ terview. But nothing tangible has thus far developed. It does not follow however that no good will ultimately grow out of these efforts. On the contrary tbe directors are working out a plan that promises to be business like, safe and practical. At a meeting of directors and some, of the other members of tbe board Mon­ day night a committee of three was ap­ pointed to formulate this plan so that it can be put into effect. Il is felt by tbe board that the only'feasible way to se­ cure desirable factories is to have at the command of the organization either a fund available for a building or to have a building actually constracted that can bo offered rent free for a short term of years. With this as an induce­ ment small manufacturing institutions To-day, Tomorrow & Every Day We offer the best goods for the money. Some things look good —but aren’t good. We don’t offer such goods.

C. McClure.] In May. 1807, when tbe Indians were raiding Kansas in half n dozen differ­ ent directions, they attacked, among scores of others, the frontier cabin of Charles Thompson mid killed him and bis wife and carried off little Jlnnnle, their ten-year-old son. Into captivity. There was a daughter, Mary, eight­ een years old, who was fortunately away from home, but two weeks later she donned man's attire and set out on horseback in the boi>o of rescuing her brother single banded. She lind not been riding two hours when she found that twelve mounted warriors had taken her trail. The girt was riding straight into the enemy's country, and nt sundown she decided to go no farther. As she reached the creek flowing around the east base of Thompson's fort, which 1e a hill standing by Itself, she threw her­ self off her tired horse and took a long drink and then led tbe animal to the crest of the LIU. Fortunately for her, there was a sink or basin at the top, with many loose rocks lying about, and In a short time she bad done all that a soldier could have accomplished under the circumstances. As the In­ dians came up they spread out to en­ circle the hill, but kept back out of rifle range. They had run their quar­ ry to earth and knew that she could not escape them. From dark to dawn the heroine was not disturbed, and she afterward re­ lated that sbe slept fairly well. She had a soldier's canteen full of water, plenty of provisions and ammunition and was not greatly dismayed over tbe situation. When morning came the In­ dians demanded her surrender, giving her much praise and promising to es­ cort her to one of their villages in safe­ ty. This they would likely have done, as it was in keeping with their orders, but she did not propose to become a captive while able to fire a shot from rifle or revolver. At a given signal the twelve, who were under the command of a sub­ chief named Little Horse, rushed for tbe crest of tho hill, being on foot They gained it to find the girl strongly Intrenched nnd after a fight of two minutes were driven off with the loss of two warriors killed and one wound­ ed. This last was the chief himself. So well was the girl lutrenchdl on tbe crest of the hill that It was deemed unwise to attack her again, and the band sat down to starve her out. For two nights and three days sbe held the fort, wounding two other Indians and escaping their bullets, and then the redskins withdrew, and sbe went her way in peace. From Maj' until November Mary Thompson scoured the plains and dodg­ ed among the hills, with her life and liberty in peril every hour of the twen­ ty-four. The village in which her broth­ er was held captive moved many times, but she always located it anew, and watched for her opportunity. It came one night with tbe setting in of winter. In the midst ot a raging blizzard and after sbe had been hiding In the bills for three days, sbe entered the village and crept from lodge to lodge nnd finally found her brother fast asleep between two Indian boys. It took her an hour to do It, but she managed to wake him up and get him out of the lodge without disturbing the others. Her horse had to carry double, and they were sixty miles from tbe nearest fort. So severe was the storm, however, that after riding ten miles they went into hiding in a ravine to wait for a change. It wm thirty knurs before tbe storm ceased, and the Indians at once began to scout around to pick up the trail. The snow lay two feet deep on tbe ground, and with the horse carrying double there seemed no show of es­ cape. A start was made as soon ss the weather cleared, and tbe pair had made a distance of five mites when they looked back to see the Indians on their trail. Tbe same blizzard bad caught two companies of the Seventh cavalry out on a scout, and they had been com­ pelled to camp in one of tbe ravines and wait for tbe break. Tbe pursuing Indians were within half a mile of the girl and her brother and would have overhauled them In ten minutes more, when the cavalry suddenly ap- fl 10 I .60 436 60 Cock 12 36 14 84 36 84 Doster 86 10 180 Furniss 12 36 24 1.44 87.44 Freeland 36 36 216 8816 Hinkley 30 30 180 37 80 Hines 12 36 28 168 37 68 Johnson 12 :-6 14 .84 36 84 Kurtz 86 8 48 8648 Lawrence 12 86 252 88 52 Maus .12 3612 12 88 2 Nevins 12 36 40 240 88.40 Osborn 86 12 36)2 Reams 12 42 2.62 88 52 Ritchie 12 36 22 87.82 Spencer 12 10 .60 86.00 Williams 12 88 10 60 36 00 Miller 12 88 82 8792 O.

B Fruit ciety Will Also Take PWrt tertaining the State Horticultural so­ ciety Hi its thirty-fourth annual ses­ sion on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, Dec. 6 to 8. Some of tbe best speakers of the state have been secured tor this annual gathering und every topic of interest to fruit growers and general farmers will be discussed. Secretary Bassett |p his announcement of this meeting says: "Michigan’s reputation as a fruit­ growing state had its origin in«the orchards planted arc and Benton Har­ bor, and so in holding its UUrty-fourtM annual session in Benton Harbor this year the society is but making a pleas­ ant pilgrimage to the cradle of the in­ dustry. From this gathering it is ex­ pected that we may know each other ’ better, learn new ideas sad the latest 1 methods, so as to improve our prodj ucts and market them In better shape, | receive helpful legislation, foster a i love for fruits and fruit-growing j among the people, and generally pro­ mote the horticultural interests ot our I great state.” Officern and Promoters. | The officers of the county associa• tion who are giving their time to this coming meeting are: President, Pau! Thayer; vice-president, Robert A. Smythe; secretary, C. H. Hilton; treasurer. W, M. Pratt; executive com­ mittee, Mr. Goodell, Fred L. West and Milo Jenning*. The state officers are all zealous workers for the improve­ ment of the fruit-growing Industry of Michigan and all have expressed their Intention ot being present. They are: President. C. F. Hale, Shelby! vtoepreeldent, C. E. Hadnell, Troy; secre­ tary, C. E. Bassett, Fennville; treas­ urer, A. W. Slayton, Grand Rapids; librarian, O. C. Howe, Lansing. Mr. . Bassett 13 also secretary or the NaI clonal Horticultural society, organised 1 sL the world’s fair al St. Louis five I week* .tgo, and he will address the state convention on matters that will be bandied by this national associa­ tion. Par*mount of these Issues is that of shipping advantages and how proper recognition can be secured from the roads when a combined ef­ fort of all tbe growers is made. It Is believed that a national effort, when rightly directed, will open up markets in new fields never yet opened to the fruit grower*. The national organisation will meet with the American Pomological soci­ ety In its biennial conventions, and the results to the fruit grower and ship­ per will be of great value. Mr. Bas­ sett has been connected with the state society many years and is stocked with information relative to the grow­ ing of fruit* of all kinds. The conven­ tion will be held in the Ben opera house. The eltlseus have united with the county society In raising a purse to defray all the expenses of the an­ nual meeting.

Agriculture Is the backbone of our prosperity and It ought to have as effective means of communication and Intelligence as other great lines of in­ dustry. Id this age when farming has come to require tbe same enterprise, and intelligent management as tbe mercantile or manufacturing lines of business, the remoteness and isolation of tbe farmer from the trade centers act as serious handicaps unless over­ come by effective means of communica­ tion and prompt knowledge of condi­ tions that effect prices, supply and de­ mand, etc. It is to afford these means that telephones, electric lines, good roads and daily mails, aae being ex­ tended to the farmer’s door.

Other expositions are being planned, it is true, but none on such a world-embraolag Scale m those of 1876,1893 and 1904.

The uplift, thesUmalation the cultivation that they have created have been of incalculable value to tbe world. Not all tbe millions that vra have spent upon our navy this year will be worth m much to the people m In his annual report Secretary ot War Taft has made some recommenda­ tions concerning the Philippines that will be very offensive to tbe ’Viandpatters.’’ Having been at the head of the insular government tbe secretary is thoroughly conversant with the con­ dition of affairs in the Philippines and there is no doubt that be is actuated by a desire to see oar Filipino subjects treated fairly. He therefore urges congress to give all products of the islands, except tobacco and sugar free admission to tbe United States. Upon tho two excepted products be would have tbe duty reduced to 25 per cent of the Dingley rates. Of course such a proposition as this is rank heresy and ought to subject tbe reckless secretary to the severe con­ demnation ot all high protectionists. It is true that these islands being now United States territory are entitled to the comparatively staaller sum which be treated as having some commercial rights.

This means on approximate Increase In earnings of >10,000,000.

Reaching the outer breastworks by means of a subterranean gallery, ou which the sappers and miners had labored for weeks, the storming columns sprang up the steep slope on whkb rested the powerful Fort Noraakoyama, about 650 feet high. The sides of the fort were bomb proof and loopholea. and tbe roof was covered by a double layer of steel plates, upon which a thick layer of earth was superposed. In front of the fort ran sandbagged trenches, the corners of which were strengthened by rails. Approach to tbe outer trench was obstructed by barbed wire fences. The assault bad been preceded by a terrific bombardment from fluwn and was accompanied by a similar advance on Forts Rlhleunsban and Keekwan to tbe northeast so as to prevent Russian concentration. In the twenty-four hours during which tbe movement occurred 1B.OOO Japanese were said to have fallen.

PRESIDENTSMESSAGE President Roogcvelt’a message has been delivered to congress. Its main features are ns follows: Tbe enlargement of scope of tbe functions of tlie national government required by our development as a na­ tion Involves, of course, increase of ex­ pense, and the period of prosperity through which the country Is passing Justifies expenditures for permanent Improvements far greater than would be wise In bard times, but abundant revenues and a large surplus always invite extravagance, and constant care should be taken to guard against un­ necessary Increase of the ordinary ex­ penses of government Capital and Ubw. The relations of capital and labor, and especially of organized capital and organized labor, to each other and to the public at large come second in Im­ portance only to tbe Intimate questions of family life. Our peculiar form of government wltli its sharp division of authority between tbe nation and tbe several states, has been on tbe whole far more advantageous to our develop­ ment than a more strongly centralised government. But It is undoabtsdly re■ponslble for much of the difficulty of meeting with adequate legislation tbe Dew problems presented by tbe total change in industrial conditions on this continent during the last half century. In actual practice It bos proved ex­ ceedingly difficult, and in many cases Impossible, to get unanimity of wise action among the various states on these subjects. From the very nature of the case this Is especially true of tbe laws affecting the employment of capital in huge masses. With regard to labor, the problem is do less important, but It Is simpler. As long as the states retain tbe primary control ot the police power tbe circum­ stances mast be altogether extreme .which require Interference by tbe fed­ eral authorities, whether In the way of safeguarding tbe rights of labor or in tbe way of seeing that wrong Is not done by unruly persons who shield themselves behind the name of labor. If there is resistance to the federal courts. Interference with the mails or interstate commerce or molestation of federal property, or if the state authori­ ties In some crisis which they are un­ able to face call for help, then tbe fed­ eral government may interfere; but, though such Interference may be caus­ ed by a condition of things arising out of trouble connected with some ques­ tion of labor, the Interference itself simply takes the form of restoring or­ der without regard to tbe questions which have caused tbe breach of or­ der. In the District of Columbia and in tbe territories tbe federal law cov­ ers the entire field of government But tbe labor question Is only acute in populous centers of commerce, manu­ factures or mining. Nevertheless both In tbe enactment and In tbe enforce­ ment of law the federal government within its restricted sphere should set a* example to the state governments, aspsdaUy in a matter so vital as this affecting labor. Lsbsr Dated*. I beUeve that under modern Indus­ trial conditions it Is often necessary and •von where not necessary It la yet of­ ten wtee that there should bo organisa­ tion of labor In order better to secure tbe rights of tbe individual wagework­ er. All eDi iHiiaifiniiiiit should be given to any such organisation oo long as it is conducted with a due and decent re­ gard for the rights of other*. There are in thio country some labor unions which have habitually and other labor unions which have often been among ths most effective agents tn working for good citizenship and for uplifting tbe ceodition of those whose welfare should be closest to our hearts. But when any labor union seeks Improper •nds or seeks to achieve proper ends by Improper means all good cttlseua, and more especially aU honorable pub3te servants, mart opp ess tbe wrongdo­ ing aa resolutely as they would oppore the wrongdoing of any great corporattou. Violence, brutality or corruption should not for one moment be tolerat­ ed. » ■uctes *te*< *• Ovwsstas. Wageworkers have an entire right te organise aud by all peaceful and honorable means to endeavor to per­ suade their fellows to Join with them in organizations. They have a legal right which, according to circum­ stances, may or may not be a moral right, to refuse to work in company with men who decline to Join their or­ ganisations. They have under no cir­ cumstances the right to commit vio­ lence upon those, whether capitalists or wageworkers, wbo refuse to support their organizations or wbo side with tboae with whom they are at odds, for mob rule is intolerable In any form. The wageworkers nre peculiarly enti­ tled to tbe protection nnd the encour­ agement of the law. Wherever the na­ tional government has power there should be a stringent employer’s liabil­ ity law, which should apply to tbe gov­ ernment Itself where tbe government is an employer of labor. Prara-ttea nd Waflrred Aeeldeat-. The ever Increasing casualty list up­ on our railroads is a matter of grave public concern and urgently calls for action by tbe congress. Tbe passage of a law requiring tbe adoption of a block •tenal system has been proposed to the congress. I earnestly concur In that recommendation aud would also point <mt to tbe congress the urgsut need of teglslation In the Interest of tbe public safety limiting the hours of labor for railroad employees lu train service up­ on railroads engaged lu Interstate com­ merce nnd providing that only trained and experienced persons be employed tn positions of responsibility connected with the operation of tmins. The safety appliance law, us amend­ ed by tlie act of March 2, 1903, has proved beneficial to railway employees, and Id order that its provisions may be properly carried out the force of in­ spectors provided for by appropriation should be largely increased. This serv­ ice has (Missed the experimental stage nnd should receive generous recogni­ tion by the congress. Valoslma la Gaveram eat oaice*. There is no objection to employees of the government forming or Ik longing to unions, but the government can nei­ ther discriminate for nor discriminate against nonunion men who nre in Its employment or who seek to be em­ ployed under It Moreover, It is a very grave impropriety for government em­ ployees to band themselves together for tlie purpose of extorting improperly high salaries from the government. Especially Is this true of those within the classified service. The letter car­ riers, both municipal nnd rural, are as a whole an excellent body of public servants. They should be amply paid. But their payment must be obtained by arguing their claims fairly and hon­ orably before tbe congress and not by bonding together for the defeat of those congressmen who refuse to give promises which they cannot In con­ science give. Tbe administration has taken step*: to prevent and punish ■buses of this nature, but it will be wise for the congress to supplement this action by legislation. Much can be done by tbe government in labor matters merely by giving pub­ licity to certain conditions. The bureau of lalx>r has done excellent work ot this kind In many different directions. I shall shortly lay before you In a spe­ cial message the full report of the In­ vestigation of the bureau of labor Into the Colorado mining strike, as this 1s a strike In which certain very evil forces, which are more or less at work every­ where under the conditions of modern Industrialism, became startlingly prom­ inent It is greatly to be wished that tbe department of commerce and la­ bor, through the labor bureau, should compile and arrange for the congress a list of the labor laws of the various states and should be given the means to Investigate and report to the con­ gress upon tbe labor conditions In tbe manufacturing and mining regions throughout the country, both as to wages, as to hours of labor, as to the labor of women and children and as to the effect In the various labor centers of Immigration from abroad. In this investigation especial attention should be paid to the conditions .of child labor and child labor legislation in tlie several states. Carvoralloas. When we come to deal with great corporations the need tor the govern­ ment to act directly Is far greater than in the case of labor, because great cor­ porations can become such only by en­ gaging in interstate commerce, and In­ terstate commerce is peculiarly the field of the general government. It la an absurdity to expect to eliminate tbe abuses in great corporations by state action. It Is difficult to be patient with an argument that such matters should be left to the states, because more than one state pursues the policy of creat­ ing on easy terms corporations which are never operated within that state at all, but In other states whose laws they Ignore. Tbe national government alone can deal adequately with these great corporations. To try to deal with them in an Intemperate, destruc­ tive or demagogle spirit would in all probability mean that nothing what­ ever would bo accomplished, and with absolute certainty that tf anything were accomplished it wonk] be of a harmful nature. The American peo­ ple need to continue to show tbe very qualities that they have shown—that la, moderation, good sense, the earnest desire to avoid doing any damage nnd yet tho quiet determination to proceed, step by step, without halt and without hurry. In eliminating or at least in minimising whatever of mischief of evil there Is to Interstate commerce In the conduct of great corporations. They are acting in no spirit of liostlllty to wealth, either individual or cor­ porate. They are not against the rich man any more than against the poor man. On the contrary, they are friend­ ly alike toward rich man and toward poor man, provided only that each acts In a spirit of Justice and decency to­ ward his fellows. Great corporations ■re necessary, and only men of great and singular mental power can man­ age such corporations successfully, and such men must have great re­ wards. But these corporations should be managed with doe regard to tbe interest of tbe public as a whole. Where this can he done under the pres­ ent laws It must l>e done. Where these laws come short others should be enacted to supplement them. Biif of Corporat lows. The bureau of corporations has made careful preliminary Investigation of many Important corporations. It will make a special report on the beef In­ dustry. Tbe policy of the bureau Is to ac­ complish the purposes of its creation by co-operation, not antagonism; by making constructive legislation, not destructive prosecution, the Immediate object of its Inquiries; by conservative Investigation of Inw nnd fact and by refusal to Issue Incomplete and hence necessarily Inaccurate reports. Its pol­ icy being thus one of open Inquiry Into nnd not attack upon business, the bu­ reau has been able to gain not only the , confidence, but, lietter still, the co-op­ eration. of men engaged In legitimate , j business.

The strong arm of tbe government In enforcing respect for Its Just rights in International matters Is the navy of tire United States.

Unless our attitude In those and nil similar mat­ ters Is to be a mere boastful sliain we cannot afford to abandon our naval programme. Our voice Is now |>otent for pence and is so potent because we are not afraid of war. But our prot­ estations upon lx?balf of pence would neither receive nor deserve the slight­ est attention If we were Impotent to make them good. The Army. Within the Inst three years tlie Unit­ ed States hns set an example In dis­ armament where disarmament was proper. By law our nrmy is fixed at a maximum of 100.000 nnd a minimum of 00,000 men. When there was Insur­ rection in the Philippines we kept tlie army at the maximum. Peace came in the Philippines, nnd now our army has been reduced to the minimum at which It is possible to keep it with due regard to its efficiency. We should be able, in tbe event of some sudden emergency, to pnt Into the field one first class army corps, which should be. aa a whole, at least the equal of any body of troops of like number belong­ ing to any other nation. Great progress has been made In pro­ tecting onr coasts by adequate fortifi­ cations with sufficient guns. We should, however, pay much more heed than at present to the development of an extensive system of floating mines for use In all our more Important har­ bors. These mines have been proved to be a most formidable safeguard against hostile fleets. The Phlli»lMs. In the Philippine Islands there has been during tbe past year a continua­ tion of tlie steady progress which has obtained ever since onr troops definite­ ly got the upper hand of the Insur­ gents. The Philippine people, or, to speak more accurately, the many tribes and even races sundered from one another more or less sharply wbo go to make up the people of the Philip­ pine Islands, contain many elements of good, and some elements which we have a. right to hope stand for prog­ ress. At present they nre utterly In­ capable of existing <n Independence at all or of building up a civilization of their own. I firmly believe that we can help them to rise higher and high­ er In tbe scale of civilization and of capacity for self government, and I most earnestly hope that In tlie end they will be able to stand. If not en­ tirely alone, yet in some such relation to the United States as Cuba now stands. This end Is not yet In sight, ■nd It may be indefinitely postponed if our people are foolish enough to turn the attention of the Filipinos away from the problems of achieving moral and material prosperity, of working foe ■ stable, orderly and Just govern­ ment. and toward foolish and danger­ ous intrigues for a complete independ­ ence for which they are as yet totally unfit. On the other hand, our people must keep steadily before their minds tho fact that the Justification for our stay In the Philippines must ultimately rest ehlefly upon the good we are able to do In- the islands. I do not overlook the fact that in tbe development of our Interests in the Pacific ocean and along Its coasts the Philippines have played and will play an important part ■nd that our interests have been serv­ ed in more than one way by tbe pos­ session of tbe Islands. But our chief reason for continuing to hold them must be that we ought in good faith to try to do our share of the world’s work, and this particular piece of work has been imposed upon us by tbe re­ sults of the war with Spain. We are endeavoring to develop tbe natives themselves so that they shall take an ever increasing share In their own gov­ ernment and, aa far as Is prudent wo ■re already admitting their representa­ tives to a governmental equality with our own. There are commissioners, judges nnd governors in the islands who nre Filipinos and who have exact­ ly the snme share in the government of the Islands as have their colleagues who nre Americans, while in the lower ranks, of course, the great majority of the public servants nre Filipinos. Within two years we shall be trying the experiment of an elective lower house In the Philippine legislature. If tbe Filipinos act with wisdom nnd self restraint, if they show that they are rapsble of electing a legislature which th its turn is capable of taking a sane ind efficient part In the actual work of government, they can rest assured that a full nnd increasing measure of rec­ ognition will be given them. Every measure taken concerning tbe Islands should be taken primarily with a view to their advantage. We should certainly give them tower tariff rates on their exports to the United States. If this is not done it will be a wrong to extend our shipping laws to them. I earnestly hope for the Immediate enactment Into law of the legislation now pending to encourage American capita) to seek investment In the is­ lands In railroads, in factories, in plan­ tations and In lumbering and mining. �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1904.

Williams was sentenced to Jackson for a term not less than 6 months and not more than 2 years, and Tidd to Ionia for not less than 6 months nor more than 1 year. During their stay with him, Sheriff Cortright has been obliged to be es­ pecially vigilant, for they ware known to be experienced crooks, who would take advantage of any opportunity to make their escape.

They bad been allowed the freedom of the corridor through which the ventilator leading into the cellar runs. They tore this out and in a short time would probably have broken jail if one of tbe prisoners bad not notified the sheiff by passing in a note with bls plate through a small window opening into tbe kitchen.

An exceptionally fine entertainment was the vocal- recital given at tbe Bap­ tist church on Friday evening of last week by Mrs. J. B. Scott, sister of Rev. S. B. Crandall, pastor of tbe church. Mrs. Scott certainly has a voice of rare merit. Her audience was charmed with her execution and captivated by her pleasing personality. This was sb own in the vigorous encores which followed every number. Her select ions covered a wide range, but were uniformly of the choicest character. Should she visit Hostings again the Baptist church would not be large enough to accommodate all who would want to bear her sing. Mrs. McCoy accompanied her with her usual accep­ tability, while Miss Ream was at her best in tbe recitations which she gave. Hostings Bowling Club. When St. Rose’s ball was built provi­ sion was made for supplying tbe de­ mand for a sane and healthful form of amusement for the young people of the city free from tbe objectionable aaoociar tloos that are apt to be connected with these things. The drinking saloon, the pool room and tbe bowling alley as us­ ually conducted are not the places to which young men can be commended to go for amusement. And yet in themselves such forms of amusement as billiards and bowling are not only Innocent but healthful. So it was wise and praiseworthy in Rev. Father Connor that be planned tbe hall io sueb way as to furnish an excellent place for athletic and manly games. Two regulation bowling alleys have been built In tbe basement and the Hastings Bowling Club Is now be­ ing formed. This club, which will ad­ mit ladies to ita'membership a* well as gentlemen, will open the season Tues­ day, Jan. 3, at 7:30 p. m. Charter membership tickets can be obtained at Fred L. Heath's store for 50 cents. It is the intention to keep the base­ ment of the hall open every evening from 7r00 until 10:00 o’clock and to charge a small sum to players In order to meet the running expenses. We un­ derstand that some of our business men who are expert bowlers are interesting themselves In tbe project and it is hoped that many of our yoUng men will join the club and make it a success.

They are your friends and neighbor*, they have invested tbelr business here and their enterprise is what makes Hastings a trade center for all the surrounding country. Why go to Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo to buy what you can get at home? Why leave your money with strangers instead of with your fellow citizens? Why build up other cities at the expense of your own? Let us be loyal to Hastings in this matter of holi­ day shopping. And before starting out on your purchasing trip read over tbe advertisements io the Herald. Tbe next meeting of the State Teach­ ers’ Association (Lansing, Dec. 27-29) will be notable in several ways.

But of late years immigra­ tion has been Increasing. For this rea­ son our system of immigration laws has been instituted and made an important bureau of the national government. That this bureau is accomplishing a most valuable service is shown by tbe annual report of the commissioner of immigration, Frank P. Sargent, pub­ lished u few days ago. The report con­ tains the gratifying intelligence that the moral, intellectual and physical qualifications of tbe immigrants admit­ ted to this country during the pastyear are higher than have ever before been recorded.

About ISO people gathered in Park­ er’s bail last night to witness several glove contests that had been adver* tlsed to come off at that time and place. The crowd was first edified with a four-round set-to between local talent, in the persons of Girsh Severance and Billy Slattery or, aa be was called on the bills, “Kid Slaughter.” It was a draw though the Kid retired with a bloody nose. Then came an four-round bout be­ tween Ernie Hoffmaster and Cornelius Sliver of Grand Rapids, and this ended in a draw. Finally the chief lights of the even­ ing, John Wirth of Battle Creek and Eddie Preston of Grand Rapids, put on the gloves aod gave the spectators an exhibition of what men of their great talents could do in an eight-round con­ test. The referee decided it to bo a draw, and the great moral show tu ended. Several officers were present to maintain order. । One hundred cents worth of value for every dollar. f Rosa B. Allen, wife of Alonzo R. Allen, who lives in Yankee Springs township, was brought here Saturday night by deputy Sheriff Lichty in a de­ mented condition, and placed in custo­ dy of tbe sheriff, pending the neceusry legal steps to have her judged insane and committed to the asylum. These steps were taken Monday and she was taken to Kalamazoo Tuesday morning. The circumstances leading up to her apprehension were rather peculiar. It seems that on Saturday morning, while her husband had gone to the store Mrs. Allen took her two little children and started on foot towards Middleville. When Mr. Allen arrived home and found bis wife and children gone he started out to find them and overtook them on the road. Not being able to persuade his wife to return home he tried to take charge of tbe children, but just at that time a neighbor ap­ peared on the scene and not under­ standing tbe situation he pitched In to Allen and prevented him from carry­ ing out his purpose. He then went on to Middleville and had Allen arrested. Not being able to obtain bail on such short notice Allen was locked up. In the meantime Mrs. Allen procured a rig and drove to Wayland. When finally the officials in Middleville got it through their heads that Allen was tbe victim of a misapprehension be was re­ leased and word was sent to Wayland to have tbe woman taken In charge. But jhe was permitted to take tbe train for Grand Rapids and tbe officers in that city were notified of the facts. The latter took the insane mother In charge when the train arrived there and she was delivered over to tbe Barry county ofllcers. Tbe woman’s mania seemed to be a desiie to travel from place to place. She fiercely resisted when her children were taken away from her. PREYER’S PREDICAMENT. A ijadUerewB IweMewt la UT* et tbw Faaawaa Palatev. John W. Preyer, the famous painter of still life, was a remarkably small spediQen of tbe genus homo, differing, however, from ordinary dwarfs in the symmetry and exact proportion of all the parts of his diminutive frame. When between twenty and thirty years of age ( his fresh, ruddy and beardless face and tbe shrill and boy­ ish tone of his voice caused people to take him for a child of about eight ut the most. This Illusion was still fur­ ther heightened by his dress, a short black velvet jacket with a large turn- down collar, over which his smoothly parted hair huug In thick clusters. When about this age Troyer paid a visit to Munich hi order to Inspect the nrt treasures in that city nnd also to visit his old patron. Master Cornelius, a former president of the Dusseldorf academy. When Preyer called at the house of the hitter he had gone out. and the servant who hud answered the door ran to tell her mistress that a lit­ tle boy wus waiting outside to see the master. The Jaily went to speak to the visitor. ‘ “What Is It you want, my child?” she naked the painter, who nt the approach of the lady took off his velvet cap and made u deep bow, saying in a shrill voice: “I wish to speak to Mr. Cornelius.” “He Is not nt home at present, but if you will step inside you can wait for him. He will not be long.” So saying, she took the little fellow into the parlor and, offered him a stool to sit on. In a short time the fair hostess became quite charmed with her youthful visitor, and at last she lifted him on her lap and listened with Intense delight to the innocent prattle of the clever “child.” Suddenly the door opened, and Cornelius himself ap­ peared. Taking In the situation at a glance, be cried: “Ab, good morning, Mr. Preyer. How on earth did you get here?” “Mr. Preycrr’ And with a shriek Mrs. Cornelius jumped up, tumbled Preyer on the floor and fled into the next room, while Cornelius and Preyer, after the latter had picked himself up again, laughed till the tears streamed down their cheeks. The former had some difficulty In getting his wife to come back again. At last she master­ ed sufficient courage to allow herself to be formally Introduced to the strange visitor, who was retained as a guest to dinner, over which the amia­ ble hostess presently regained her for­ mer self possession.

By a simple error in the printing of a set ot stamps tbe value is enormously increased to collectors. A short time ago a Dutch stamp was printed yellow instead of blue. A week later these stamp* were sold at a great premium. A New Zealand stamp some years ago was printed upside down, and it is now worth a large sum. Among English stamps the old red penny, with the plate No. 233. is valued by collectors, and the small pink halfpenny, with plate No. 9, is not worth less than <20. It is said that the plate of the latter was broken soon after it came into uae and was never replaced; hence' the value of the few stamps printed from it It Is always a question with ama­ teurs whether to buy their stamps used or unused. But it la safe on a great occasion, such as a jubilee or exposi­ tion year, to buy them with the post­ mark.

For a number of years indoor base­ ball has been one of tbe leading winter sports in the cities, but not until this year has It appealed to tbe athletically inclined in this city. At last, however, it has struck town and it seems to have come to stay from tbe enthusiasm which is being shown. Tbe upper story of tbe city ball has been fitted up and the windows screen­ ed in which to play the game, tbe city fathers having given tbe necessary permission. So far two teams have been organ­ ized, one being known as the Wizards, and the other tbe Clerks. Several other teams are in process of organ­ ization, and it is probable tbat in tbe course of several weeks a city league will be formed, as in the larger cities. The first game was played Monday evening between tbe Wizards and tbe Clerks, the former winning by tbe score of 28 to 24.

Close behind her, his teeth set, the scarlet robe hugged to his breast, was Harold. Mildred, had reached tbe edge of tbe artificial lake, where she hesitated for a moment. In that moment Harold, with one last, great effort, sprang to her side. Throwing the gypsy cloak about her, he gathered the girl In his arms •nd sprang Into tbe water.

Th, grounds and house hud been lent to them, and the ladles had planned n supper on the lawn, with- a lottery and dance In the evening. Young girls were to be dress­ ed as paper dolls and wait upon the tables. In the evening the young men must buy their partners for tbe dunce In tbe lottery. The girls made paper dresses, with paper hats to match, and practiced a stiff, doll-like walk “Mildred Little? Oh, she Is In lav­ ender with violets,” said Henrietta Summers In answer to a question. Tbe woman who was interested In Mildred thanked Henrietta and walked away. She was a tall woman, with White hair and large, dark eyes — a motherly woman who wanted to help her son in his troubles, but did not know what to do. Seating herself at one of the tables, she began to watch the people. Twice was the girl standing by her •Ide compelled to repeat her question before Mrs. Delcoe was aware ot her presence. “May 1 serve you?” • Mrs. Delcoe turned hastily toward the small, demure maiden, gowned from bead to foot In pale lavender pa­ per, adorned with bunches of violets. Tbe face was expressionless. Tbe blue eyes stared wide open, while no doll need have been ashamed of those pink cheeks nnd that smooth brown hair. Mrs. Delcoe recognized Harold’s ruling tyrant, Mildred Little. The mother un­ derstood in a moment her son’s wor­ ship. This girl's charm had already stolen , upon her. “Poor boy! I wish I could smooth out tbe wrinkles for him,” she thought to herself. Aloud she Mid: “I was waiting for my son. I see him coming, so you may take our order." The paper doll did not turn to look at the young man who came up and seated himself at her table. She waited in silence for her order. "What would you like, Harold?” “Your choice, mother." At the sound of tliat voice the lav­ ender^ doll suddenly came to life and looked directly at the speaker. When their eyes met Harold Delcoe smiled. Bnt Mildred had regained control of herself. She was again the lavender doll. The young man’s face became scarlet, and be looked in an opposite direction. Mildred served her table faithfully, yet her hand would tremble. Twice she tore her ruffled skirt and was com­ pelled to hunt for glue, but whenever abe passed Harold she was only a pa­ per doll. Tbe young man would have left the fete at once, but his mother detained him. Why she did so she could not tell, yet she felt tbat Harold would be needed.

In appearance the man was typical of bls kind, and Mr. Reming­ ton made several studies of him, both In -repose and when In his favorite pastime of-“hollering.” Later, when back In his studio, tbe artist embodied a rather close portrait of the exuber­ ant Smith in several drawings for a magazine, most of them showing him in a state of eruption. A year after Mr. Remington again visited Smith's neighborhood and on the afternoon of his arrival was approached by that worthy himself bearing one of the pic­ tures torn from the magazine. Point­ ing to tbe central figure, he Mid: “Say, Is that me?” "Well" replied Mr. Remington guard­ edly, “I got tbe Idea from you, of course, but”— “Oh, It’s an right," broke In the man. "No offense.

I was telling Dean Stanley that Muslcian Halle's cook bad lately won a good round sum In a lottery with the number 23. Halle was Interested and asked her how she came to fix on so lucky a num­ ber. “Oh, sir," said she. "I had a dream. I dreamed of number 7. I dreamed of It three times, nnd as three times seven makes twenty-three I chose that number, sir.” When I had concluded my story I observed a wistful expression on Ar­ thur’s countenance, as If he were ready —nay. anxious—to be amused, but could not for the life of him quite man­ age It. Then suddenly bls face bright­ ened. and he said, but not without a tinge of dejection: "Ah, yes, I see. Yes, I suppose'three times seven is not twenty-three."

The figures told her a great many things, bnt the girl was very vain of her beauty, and the boy was taken up with what he knew about tbe world, of which tbe doll knew nothing at all, so she didn’t listen long, but fell asleep while they were talking. Suddenly she awoke with a start. What was that noise In tbe chimney? She hnd scarcely time to think about it when out on the hearth popped a lit­ tle figure in fnr. He unstrapped a pack he earrhul nnd filled nil the stockings with toys. Then he jumped back Into the chimney and was gone In n twin­ kling. This set the doll to wondering more than ever. Everything was again silent except the clock, which ticked very loud. There were the children asleep in bed, What a day it was! The children were racing about, playing with their toys, and people were coming tn con­ tinually to see tbe presents, and the sun shone brightly on tbe snow out­ side, and the fire shone brightly with­ in on tbe brass andirons and fender, and after dinner stories were told the children till they were all astonished by the number of wonderful things that happen. The boy with the light hair and blue eyes lay in his mother’s arms, bugging the doll with her breast pressed against his, so that she could hear bls heart beat, and she wondered why there was no such beating in her own heart. This wns the happiest mo­ ment she had ever known. She was only n day old, but something told her that nothing in the world could ever make her happier.

George Schmidt was in October, 1902, a member ot Journeymen Brewers’ union, No. 1, and employed by the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing company. It Is claimed by Schmidt that in October, 1202, a com­ mittee ot three members of the union held an investigation concerning cer­ tain matters that Schmidt was al­ leged to have gossiped about. He charges that the committee called one man at a time, putting questions to him and receiving answers. Schmidt alleged that he did not know there were any charges against him, but in November. 1902, he received a letter from the officers of the union that be hart been found guilty and fined >10. He was afterward expelled without a hearing. Employment was refused to Shmidt at all the breweries, as none of them could retain him without causing a strike. Justice Scott declared Schmidt's sus­ pension unlawful, granted Judgment reinstating him from June. 1902, and directed the union to pay the costa of the action. - For hard colds, bronchitis, asthma, and coughs of all kinds, you cannot take any­ thing better than Ayer’s That Amoont, LEAVES LITTLE FOR CREDITORS Pectoral Cherry Pectoral.

Chadwick consist of a note for $1,800, now in posversion of Iri Reynolds, the Cleveland banker, who was the guardian of taa worthless securities on which Chadwick system loans were negotiated. All, therefore, is no. lost to lhe cred­ itors. As a whole they may receive about one and one-fifth mills pn the dollar in settlement of claims. Iri Reynolds, however, has an advantage over the other dupes. He holds the note for $1,800, made payable to Mrs. Chadwick and secured by a mortgage, and the visible assets, in their entire­ ty, may go to him. Jewel* Dl*app«ar. It is Impossible to say how much Mrs. Chadwick^ may owe to tradesmen here, and In New York and elsewhere, some of whom acted promptly to pro­ tect their interest* when the bubble showed signs of bursting. Ab a gen­ eral rule the wizard of finance paid cash for what she got from the local merchant*, but in New York her cred­ it was good, and she seems to have us$d It practically to the limit. What ha* become of the fortune in Jewels that Mrs. Chadwick was known '.0 possess at one time, and what has become of the $1,000,000 and more In ctsh which *he succeeded in raining during the short period of two or three vears ? These questions are the latest to arlae in the mind* of thoie most directly Interested in a settlement on enme basis, however small. Roses as Carnegie'* Child. Iri Reynold*, the man whom Mrs, Chadwick used with such profit in the furtherance at her schemes, said: “I have believed that Mrs. Chad­ wick was the Illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie. She told me so. She exacted a promise from me on my honor that I would keep her seerrt. In keeping silent I imagined that I was protecting the name of Andrew Ca.nsgte. "Dr. Chadwick was with her when the brought the package of securities to me. Her husband asked for a copy of the draft of the contents, saying he wanted It in case anything happened to Mr*. Chadwick while she waa away in Europe. I gave him a copy. Dr. Chadwick was not surprised when the Carnegie note for $500,000 was hand­ ed to me. He saw it I cannot say that he knew of his wife’s history. I never discussed it with him. Hueband le Fsnnllse*. ‘Dr. Chadwick I* penniless. Ho !• a wanderer and must be the rest of his life. The fine home he owned on Euclid avenue, his good name, all, all are gone since he married this woman. He would not dare set his foot on American soil. Some months ago I cashed a check for him. It came back with the mark ‘No fond*.' That transaction was contrary to law. Mrs. Chadwick, however, paid the checks later. ‘To show the methods of Mrs. Chad­ wick, she offered me $100,000 about one year ago out of gratitude for what I had done for her, proffering mo four note* of $25,000 each. The notes were drawn by her. Of course, a* an officer of the bank. I could not accept such a present" i The Pittaburg operation^ of Mr*. Chadwick form a now mystery that has been injected Into the case. TTer creditor there le said to be a multi­ millionaire manufacturer. According to Mrs. Chadwick, the loan secured there amounts to $500,000. brt the creditor puts hl* claim at $800,000, a portion of which sum may be the bonus that was promised.. In the opinion of leading attorneys of Cleveland a charge of forgery can­ not be made to hold tn connec Jou with these notes, as there is, so far, no evi­ dence that Mr*. Chadwick has at­ tempted to sell the notes for cash or obtain money tn exchange for them. lAXFUUTU, BL Joioph, Mich. Coughs, Colds a •M will hasten recovery by takn. am of Ayer’, PHI, at bedtime.

Mr. Roosevelt would add to tbe existing list the control of railroads, banks, trust companies, insurance* companies, fac­ tory conditions, hours of labor on rail­ ways, &c. He would have federal commlwieneni to inspect all rolling stock; to decide on all through rates of freight; to bold inquest on railroad accidents; to enforce the block signal system and regulate airbrakes; to enforce sanitary conditions wherever laboring men are assembled. As there are over a mil­ lion and a half of cars and engines, (1,573,000) and several times tbat num­ ber of wheels to be hammered on and brakes to be tested, it would obviously require a good many men and a good deal of money for their adequate in■pectlou. And how much more com­ plete would it bo than tbe General Slo­ cum inspection. The 11,000 accidents which occur in tbe United States year­ ly involving 8,000 deaths and 60,000 persons injured, would require a large army of coroners and a vast multitude of inquests. This would be building up a boauraoraoy of tremendous propor­ tions which might end in nominal so­ cialism and actual imperialism. The introduction of bills to reduce the number of southern congressmen because of alleged disfranchisement of negroes will be followed by a most nnhealthy excitement during tbe remain­ der of this session. Messrs. Platt and Crampacker may attempt in vain to reimpriaoo tbe Afrite which they have released. John Sharp Williams has out tbe proposition with defiance and Carmack with a joint resolution to In­ vestigate and expose the amount of money collected from trusts and others to effect presidential elections. Piatt's bills would reduce ‘he total number of southern oongreesmen nineteen, but the senator with an exhibition of pretended generosity alleges tha> if tbe constitu­ tion were strictly and rigidly enforced tbe reduction would be not less than thirty. In the cut-down proposed by Platt’s bill Georgia would lose more than any other state, being reduced from eleven to eight. It is safe to an­ ticipate that the controversy thus stupidly begun will sad in a tumult surpassing tbe Force Bill disputation as a hurricane surpasses a zephyr. Heated conferences were held yester­ day on both sides showing a lack of unanimity on tbe part of both the friends of the measure and its oppou ent*.

BEST PERSONALLY CONDUCTED TOURIST EXCURSIONS Leave CHICAGO St. Petersburg, Dec. 12.—Sunday •■•.•18 a riotous day and night in Rus•'i's capital. A great crowd of stucuts and workmen gathered In the Nc-vski Prospect at noon for an anti­ government demonstration was charged by hundreds of police and mounted gendarmes. More than 100 persons were injured, none fatally, and a hundred arrests were made. The ferment continued until late at night, but only one or two weak at­ tempts at demonstrations were made. Not since the riots of 1901, when Cos­ sacks reached across the Nevski Pros­ pect, from building to building, charged down the boulevard from the Moscow station to the Neva, has St. Petersburg lived through such a day cf excitement When the riot was at its height members of the mob waved red flags and shouted: “Down with autocracy," "Down wltlr the war," '‘Long live the Social Democracy." At night the students of the Poll­ technique and other institutes held meetings, at which fiery speeches were made in favor of reform and the convocation of a national assembly. The greatest distress Is expressed by conservative Liberals over the day's, events, all declaring that just when the fate of the zemstvo pro­ gram was in the balance such a fruit­ less outbreak will be sure to prejudice every observer and put the strongest weapon in the hand of the bureau­ cratic reactionaries. All fears of further disturbances ended after the riot. A high court of­ ficial said: “This is nothing. The state of the provinces, which censorship prevents die public from knowing, is much worse. At Vitebsk lately the Ninety­ fifth, Ninety-sixth and Ninety-ninth regiments, belonging to the Sixteenth corps, which were mobilized for the far East, rebelled and plundered the town for several days.

Christmas day games for the chil­ dren are as necessary as a plum pud­ ding, and the following will please them and are welcome to many grownupe. says the Chicago Tribune: Santa Claus Pack.—All form in line and march to a lively strain on the piano to the next room, where a table bolds the contents of Santa Claus’ pack. They look at every object on the table and then marcu back. The company now divides in half, one-half leaving the room, the table and its contents having been covered. Those remaining choose some object which they remember seeing; the piano begin* to piny again aud lhe others return. The leader gives to the returning party7 a word which rhymes with the object chosen. Thus, it it was a ball, he might mention the word “hall.” The returning party now proceed to guess What object bos been chosen, nnd they express their guess by acting in panto­ mime. They do not all suggest the object In the same way, but each ac­ cording to his Individual fancy, but they must all agree upon tbe object they will guess. It wrong they go out for another trial and so on until guessed, when tlie other half of the company goes out, and they remain and! select tbe object for the others to guess. Hiding the Mistletoe.—All form in line, single file, and march about the room or several rooms until the music stops. They then proceed to hunt the _ stletoe. which the leader carried In his hand and concealed somewhere I during the march. The finder must effect return to the starting point with­ out being touched by the leader. Santa Claus' Sleigh.—Six girls are harnessed to a little sleigh or sled, and the white ribbon reins are held by a seventh. The sled is filled with small parcels In colored papers con­ taining Christmas crackers or any trifles ns favors. The party goes round the room several times, dispensing the favors to the young men. who proceed to select partners and dance until a signt.1 from the leader calls all to march around the room and back to their places. Snowball.—A large white hall of tis­ sue paper Is suspended well out of the way of brlc-a-brnc. The young girls take turns nt shooting at this ball with a small rubber ball. When hit with sufficient force it breaks and out falls a shower of smaller white balls, per­ haps popcorn balls, which are gathered nnd presented as favors for tbe next march or dance. As there should be only about linlf as many balls as there are couples dancing, tills will cause n scramble among the small boys who gather them up and who, for fair deal­ ing. should lie kept behind a certain line until the ball receives tbe shot that bursts it. ink and gums the slips Into a pad. which can then be mounted on a deco­ rated board or put Into a leather cose to stand on the table. How to Heaot a Small Pt*. If you are going to have a small pig for your Christmas dinner here la a splendid way to roast It. Of course your butclier will prepare the pig, so far as cleaning Is concerned. When tbe pig reaches you wipe him inside and out with a damp cloth. Make a stuffing of a cupful of breadcrumbs, a half chopped onion, two heaping ta­ blespoonfuls of melted butter, a scant tablespoonfnl of sage, a little grated nutmeg, a saitspoonful of salt nnd two well beaten eggs. Stuff tbe pig with this, sewing him up. then bend his front legs backward under him and bls bind legs forward, also under him, and tie them with stout twine close to the body. Dredge with flour, put Into the dripping pan, pour a cupful of water over und around the pig. rub with but­ ter and roast, basting frequently for about two hours or longer If tbe pig be a good sized one.

One of the most popular of Ger­ man engravings represents him sitting In the bosom of bis family, with a lighted Christmas tree on tbe table before him. Luther was trsreling alone one Christmas eve. The snow covered country nnd the trees gleaming at every point with the reflected light of the winter moon made upon the great reformer the deepest impression. Going home, he went Into the garden and, cutting a little fir tree, brought It into the nursery, put some candles on its broaches and lighted them to re­ produce the effect of the beautiful moonlit trees In the forest. Antiquarians connect the Christmas tree with _ _ __________ tbe great___ tree _________ Yggdraall where of Noroe mythology or with the pine trees of tbe Roman saturnalia, tbo pagan , forerunner of our Chrtotmas.

FOR THE CHILDREN Robert, a four-year-old American dtMeu, recently want *-vlsltlng in a big fort, where be waa entertained nobly gown; two clowns on bicycles bearing aloft a red lettered advertise1 ment, and, lastly, a little tall of such unemployed youngsters as had been ; able to escape from the hard handed । wrath of incensed mothers. I As the last stragglers disappeared | round the corner we were aware of a little cart drawn by a lazy, learned [ looking donkey and containing a dark i haired young woman, who held on her • knee a little child, whitened, painted and pantalooned like a clown. By her •ide was a boy of about fifteen, who divided his attention between driving the donkey, which seemed loftily un­ conscious of him, and admonished tbe young woman, who appeared hardly more heedful, for her head waa turned away, and every now and then she sang a snatch of song to tbe baby down in her arms. Every word they said was blown by the south wind straight to our ears. “You’d better drop IL Minna." ob­ served the boy. “I tell you the old man’s on to you, and he’s been watebm* you closer ’n a cat for Fdanno bow long.

What’s the matter with you?" “I didn’t know Jim then,” returned the young woman shortly. “Ob, that’s IL to it?” raid ths boy in high dlsdnln “Yes, that’s it,” doggedly. The Jittie cart moved on. At the corner of tbe road the young woman and the boy got out, tbe boy walking by tbe doukey’s head and the young woman keeping near the child, who stood up bravely in his dazzling white and red spotted apparel, bolding the reins aud brandishing tbe whip. "I am going to the circus, Aunt Paul­ ine,” announced Dolly with tbe assur­ ance of one whose wishes have only to be made known to be gratified. We bought red, shiny tickets from an unseen Iverson In a covered wagon and, following the crowd through the narrow, roped way to tbe opening of tbe large tent, gave them up to a huge, erippled man who sat there on a wood­ en stool, with his, crutches leaning against the canvas wall behind him. I felt at once that I was In tbe pres­ ence of the "old man,” the "boss of tbe whole bloomin’ show” —Joshua B. Crane himself. His face was pale, square and determined, bls thick eye­ brows nnd hair were very black, and his shaved chin was of a deep blue. His shoulders mid nrms were muscular and powerful, but his right leg dragged ■tiff nnd distorted from the bip socket, and I thought I saw in his Wrinkled forehead and tbe lines about his mouth the signs of irritability bora of long qaln aud impatiently endured dlscomJtorL We passed by him into the tent and by Dolly's orders scrambled to the highest pinnacle of this paradise, whose gnyly carpeled gateway was presided over by the pretty, furtive eyed, discontented looking Minna, und from that vantage point we compla­ cently surveyed our surroundings. A blast of melody announced tlie grand entry, and In a minute the six horses which hnd formed part of the procession earlier in the day were can­ tering heavily round and round tlie ring, nose to tail, while their riders smiled the fixed, hackneyed smile of fatigue and long habit As there was no room in the ring for further evolution, tbe equestrians trot­ ted out, and during the slight pause Which followed 1 reeognizW the boy who sold peanuts and popcorn ns the very same who bad driven the donkey tart and admonished Minna. He seemed to be somewhat undressed about the throat and to be wearing something light and spangly under his coat, from which I gathered that he was to appear later in a more glorious capacity. Nor was I mistaken, for aft­ er a muscular lady in purple tights bad twisted herself in and out among the rings and swung head downward hooked by her white kid boots, after the ringmaster bad held a most spirit­ ed conversation with a red headed coun­ tryman (who wanted to buy a giraffe Of almost human intelligence aud ex­ traordinarily human legs), I beheld the young gentleman being tossed like a bag from the feet of one prone pink acrobat to another, apparently as com­ posed as when he had been offering advice to unreasoning womanhood In the morning. i After this the band played gnllopiug music to nn empty ring. Then the cur­ tains parted, aud tbe baby clown came running in, followed by a man also in down’s dress. Their costumes were identical except that while the man wore only the usual white skullcap tbe baby had a tiny black chimney pot perched on the side of his head. He came trotting straight to the edge of the ring nearest us, and there he blew a shrill blast on a tin trumpet which he held In his hand. This the eider clown took away, with a mock warn­ ing'to make no more noise. Another was promptly produced from the volu­ minous pocket, and this also was re­ moved. After tbe child had been de­ prived of six in succession the man threatened to thrash him and then, pretending to ’Isten, cried in surprise: “What! You want to fight me?” “Yes," piped tbe baby, down, strad­ dling to the right “Come over here.” But the ground did not suit and again the little, shrill voice could be heard, inviting his tall opponent to “come over here." But the left it ap­ peared, was no better. “Hello!” says the man. “This won't do. You're ranking a fool of me. 1 want to fight I tell you.” “Then you must run like tbe dick­ ens!" cries the child and scampers out of the ring. 4 This produced such a burst of ap­ plause that Master Snow had to be brought back, and there, held on the shoulder of the big down, while the band played a soft wheezy accompani­ ment be sang tbe song I bad beard Minna teaching him on the road: “Oh, the badger end the bear and the monkey and the hare And the bonny birds a-ainsin* in tbe green* ood tree. And the charmin* little rabbits, so «n*a*tnc in their habits— And they all have a mate but me. but the prim ceremoniousness of the block and white seemed ns oddly incongru­ ous with tlie time nnd place us with bls hnrah, rugged face, straining shoul­ ders and dragging leg. He was to per­ form some juggling tricks, and us lie swung himself slotvly forward toward the stool which had been • laced for him In tbe middle ot the ring he made an Juipnticnt motion with his head, Signing that the table containing bis implements should be set nearer. What­ ever else lie had been before he met with the accident which lamed him, he was nt least a good Juggler. His power over Inanimate objects was amazing. He twirled a flaming hoop round and round on n paper parasol; he surround­ ed himself with a halo of glancing knives; he piayed with cannon balls as If they were marbles and broke chains by expanding bls chest; be kept a bag. an open umbrella and a bit of paper circling in tlie air before him. It was pathetic in a way to see this broken giant sitting alone in tbe squal­ id little ring amusing his audience with sleight of hand tricks. When we clapped be picked bis crutches up from the ground beside him, fitted them under bls arms, rose, bowed and sat down again. The ringmaster now announced that one of the most remarkable feats of marksmanship in the world, “shoot­ ing the eye out of the ace of spades,” was about to be performed by Mr. Joshua B. Crane, assisted by that celebrated aeronaut. Mr, James Snow. The figure by Minna dropped its long coat and shot out into tbe ring, all scarlet and gold, beautiful, supple, graceful—altogether a startling con­ trast to the big juggler in his III fitting evening dress. In a minute the ringmaster and tbe one attendant bad run Jim up to the trapeze, and there he sat at ease, rub­ bing his hands and looking ont over our heads through th? space between the roof and tbe sides of the tent to the strip of afternoon sky. It had grown dark, and I beard the growling of distant founder. 1 Others heard it. too. nnd some of the people began to straggle out “It seems so rode, to go, doesn’t IL Aunt Pauline?” said Dolly. “We’re going to stay, aren’t we?” “If yon like, dear.” “But are they going to make a noise with pistols—an- they?" “Only for a minute.” “I think perhaps we might go, Aunt Pauline, nnd come back when they have finished. I hate firing.” We began to descend, Dolly bolding her ears with both hands and pausing now and then to stamp with her fset, like a horse In high action. The air seemed full of electricity, the sky grew darker and the thunder sounded nearer. The people appeared to be In several minds about leaving. Borne of them rat still, some of them stood up In their places and some mov­ ed In groups toward the entrance. In the ring tbe black figure raised its pistol, nnd above on the trapeze the red and gold one stood erect, holding a card In its outstretched band. Crack! Tbe card fluttered to the ground, and tho ring­ master. picking It up. showed that a clean hole hn^ teen made through tbe center Against tlie brown dimness of the tent shadows tbe white figures stood out with tbe boldness of a chalk draw­ ing. Tbe expression of tbe man’s face was Infinitely amused, but sad and tender, as he listened to the clear little voice quavering on the last notes. When the song was finished aod tbe clapping hnd ceased be let tlie little creature slip down into tbe hollow of his arm, bade him bow to tbe audience, bowed twice himself gravely from right to left and then walked out of the ring and disappeared between tbe curtains.

PRESENT RATE PROHIBITIVE Country Merchants Could Have Orders Delivered to Customers and Retain Trade That Now Goes to the City Houses. Washington, Dec. 12.—In tho annual report of Postmaster General Robert J. Wynne, for tbe fiscal year endetl June 30, he urgently recommends lhe establishment of a new rate of post­ age in connection with the rural serv­ ice for the delivery of small parcels. It Is showa that there has grown up a demand by patrons of the rural free delivery service for tbe handling of light packages of merchandise, and the present rate of 1 cent per ounce Is declared practically prohibitive. For instance, a grocer who gets an order over the telephone for a pound of coffee would have to pay 16 cents to send it by rural delivery. The postmaster general suggests to con­ gress that a rate of 3 cents'per pound or any fraction thereof be authorized for packages of this class, no parcel to exceed five pounds. This rate is Intended to apply, however, only to packages deposited at tbe local post­ office for delivery to patrons on routes from that office. A special stamp is recommended for this class of matter. Would Combine Classes. It Is also recommended tbat third and fourth class mail matter be con­ solidated at the rate of postage now paid on third-class matter—1 cent for each two ounces. This change, tbe official argues, will have little effect upon the revenues, ow‘ t to the fact that fourth-class matter is estimated to be only about 4 per cent of all the mall handled and the reduction in rate is expected to Increase the amount of fourth-class matter handled without appreciable additional expense to the service. Attention Is called in the report to the pneumatic tube mall service inFtnlled in Chicago and St. Louis dur‘”g the year. The service in opera­ tion, which Intrudes four eastern cities, at the time of making the re­ port. covered 15,125 miles at a cost of STIF.470.21 per year. The electric and cable car rentes were Increased 462 miles during the year, the total length now being 4.945 mil'*'. Railway Service. In connection with tbe report on railway mail service, the interesting fact Is noted that th* record of errors by clerks shows an average of but one error to every 11,181 pieces of mall distributed. In the railway mall service there were 1,448 lines of trav­ eling postoffices, covering 192,309 miles, and the number ot employes was 11,821. Casualties to mall ears during tho year numbered 878. These accidents resulted 'tn twenty-one deaths, ninety clerks seriously nnd 848 silriitly injured. The report recommends th«t con­ gress consider the propriety of grant­ ing an annuity to railway postoffiee clerks who are permanently disabled In the line of duty. Under the last three appropriation acts provisions were made for the payment of 81,000 to the heirs ot postal clerks killed while on duty or who die within one year as the result of injury received In the service. Decrease in Frauds. . In regard to the use of the malls for fraudulent purposes and the pro­ motion of questionable schemes, it Is shown that in consequence of the vig­ orous application and enforcement of the statutes, there has been a marked decrease in the number of such enter­ prises, unm^takabty shown by the falling off in the voiutre of complaints from the public. Th* department Is­ sued 167 "fraud ord ere," as compared with 103 during tbe fiscal year preced­ ing. The total receipts of tbe depart­ ment from all sources during the year were 8143.562,024.34, and tbe total expenditur*| 8152,362.116.70. leaving a deficit of 88,779,492.36. This is an in­ crease over the deficit of the pre­ vious year of 14,219,447.63. In ex­ planation of this great increase, at­ tention is called to expenditure authcrized for the extension and main­ tenance of the rural free delivery service during the year, which waa 84,902,237 greater than during the pre­ vious fiscal year. Revenues Increase. The year is summed up as having been one of most successful adminis­ tration. Postal revenues have In­ creased, the service has been vastly benefited by several Important changes in the classification of mails, the postal facilities have been great­ ly extended at home and abroad, the exchange of money orders with forfeign countries has been simplified and cheapened, nnd the parcels-post has been installed in Japan, Hongkong and Norway.

POSTAL CARD CAMPAIGN. Farmers Expected to Have Hand In Fight for Railroad Legislation. Washington, Dec. 12.—All signs in­ dicate that in the near future a deluge of postal cards will begin pouring In upon congress from farmers all over the land, together with other small shippers, urging some measure along the line of the president's recom­ mendation for increasing the powers of the Interstate commerce commis­ sion.

Author of “Tbs Hcavonly Twin*" OMEN are supposed to be addicted to vanity of apparel. I have met MEN who give as much time and thought to self adornment as a pretty girl. But, while. a woman’s vanity is oftentimes an adorable weakness, A VAIN MAN IS INTOLERABLE. And, it might be added, since a woman wears this defect with more grace than a man, why not deduce that it is more properly her own BY RIGHT OF FITNESS ? Giving an opinion, however, from a broader point of view, I should say that a woman is more vain of her BELONGINGS, a man of his ACHIEVEMENTS. The* life of one is restricted to the home; that of the other is as boundless as the world. ■ In the narrow groove allotted to woman SMALL things become of PARAMOUNT importance. Her standard of comparison is set by her IMMEDIATE group of friends—her calling list Occasion­ ally there arises an individuality sufficiently aggressive to break through the restrictions of this ironbound circle; but, as a matter of fact, the horizon seen through the windows of tho home is bounded BY ONE’S HUSBAND AND ONE’S NEIGHBORS. A yain man, on the other hand, through force of cShtact with his fellows, SHEDS HIS SMALL SELF and becomes ambitious. THROUGH DINT OF FIGHTING AND ACHIEVING HE TAKES ON MORAL AND PHYSICAL MUSCLE AND SEEKS FOR BETTER ADVER­ SARIES TO OVERCOME THAN THE LATEST FASHION IN FROCK COATS OR THE CORRECT LENGTH OF A FOUR-IN-HAND. ■0 3 Kites and Flying Machines Men are often glad of a pincushion to bang up In their rooms, provided only that is it not too feminine in appear-' ance.

Make u cushion exactly to fit tlie IioII-tw which held the pipe or a little larger, os it must be well pushed Into the case, tho hollow being covered beforehand with glue. The cushion should be stuffed with sawdust or anything soft and cov­ ered with some pretty velveteen or silk, the color being carefully chosen to match or contrast with tbe case. A pale brown or fawn color looks well, as a nile. Of course the pipe case will lie double, being open, nnd one side can. if desired, be left ns it is or util­ ized as a cushion for needles. A rib­ bon bow of color to match must be added at tbe top to hang it up by.

Make tho cranberry Jelly and mold in a ring. Turn out very carefully just before serving and till the center with tlie snlnd. Turkey salad, by tbe way, Is as good ns. if not better, than chicken salnd when mixed with plenty of cel­ ery and a few wnlnut meats. A Christinas tree decoration that is easily and inexpensively made at home is snowballs. A coll of fine picture wire, n box of diamond powder and n bundle of cotton batting (not sheet wadding) are tlie materials needed. The wire is cut In various short lengths, a wad of tlie cotton thrust upon It. patted into shape to look like a ball, nnd the powder dusted over It from a perforated toilet powder box. The other cud of tbe wire Is bent over to form a fastening, and tbe ball is ready for the tree. It is effective to have tbe balls vary in size from that of a small apple to a large orange. Season tbe meat with s&'.x and pepper and roast. Dish on a hot plate, gar­ nish with parsley, pimolns nnd French chestnuts boiled until tender. Shell ind bhiuch tbe nuts nnd brown m the gravy from the lamb. This is a very decorative dish for one so plain as roast lamb. FRANK HORTON PHONE 10. have you Christmas SEEN THEM?

HAVE been lately experimenting with a great kite supporting a simple 'platform of boards on which a man lay face downward. , The kite was attached to a captive Maxim flying machine. While the ordinary boats attached to this machine were going in an ever increasing circuit at twenty miles an hour tbe kite swept round in a circle twice as large until, when at its height, it sped round AT THE AMAZING SPEED OF EIGHTY MILES AN HOUR. The experiments demonstrate more closely that well made aeroplanes placed at a slight angle above the horizontal and traveling at a high 04 velocity have much greater lifting effect than was ever supposed.

The adoption of such a policy will no doubt be followed by a general amel­ ioration of the peasantry, enabling them to move from place to place at will and acquire and dispose of proper­ ty tbe same as other citizens. Such liberty of action will put new life and hope into this great undercurrent of tbe empire's population and tend to change it from an inert and terribly heavy burden upon the nation into an energetic, hope-impelled body of citi­ zens. uue One ui of inu the itusmun Russian papers papers in commenting on M. Witte’s report thus expresses the result of the policy pro­ posed. “Like a golden thread through it all runs consideration for the peas­ ant as a citizen of the empire and no longer as a pariah." Truly there is reason for hope in all this uiu r-nis that me the great, lemargic. lethargic, conserv*>tlve nation that covers half of Europe •' antj t(jat -nag stO0(j sv long as an ob­ stacle to the progress of freedom, is at last waking up to the duties and re­ sponsibilities that belong to a modern government. Wltfa'tbe masses of hum­ ble toilers of the soil emancipated from tutelage and inspired with the ambi­ tion to improve their condition, the day is sure to come when the agricul­ tural condition of the vast empire will be as prosperous and satisfactory as that of the farmers in other lends where agriculture is in the hands of enlightened and self-respecting citisens. In all the festivities of the Christmas season It Is doubtful whether one per­ son in ten stops to think of tbe true significance of the day. There is no meaning nor in in me tbe gilt gift ---—— —» in Christmas nur giving which characterizes it unless it commemorates the one great Gift which was given to tbe world at Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago. It has been this gift that has made possible our modern civilization, with its churches and schools and hospitals. When uvu that gracious boon noon was given to men, heralded by the angelic chorus „„ „__.u ----j of peace on earth, good will -----------to men, -a new spirit gained entrance to the heart of mankind, the spirit of love and un­ selfishness. For if there is anything in Christianity at all that differentiates it from other religions it is this al­ truistic spirit that finds expression in making our fellow beings better and happier—the spirit that subordinates self to other's welfare. This principle of unselfish love, per­ fectly exemplified as It was by the Founder of Christianity, is far from dominating the hearts of men at all times, even after it has existed In the world for so many centuries, but it forms the foundation of modern philan­ thropy, animates every movement for the uplift of humanity, and beautifully manifests itself at Christinas time in the custom of gift making and in prac­ tical works of charity. And it must surely follow that a cus­ tom based upon ho noble a principle, even when thoughtlessly followed, leaves its blessing upon the world. The very effort and self denial which gift giving so often requires, the turn­ ing of thoughts from self to others, has its softening aud ennobling influence upon our characters, too apt to become hardened by the sordid pursuits of this strenuous age. Gift giving at tbe Christmas tide is then a beautiful cus­ tom, the outgrowth of the Christian -doctrine of love, and if in the midst of -our giving we can find time to think of ■the great Gift it commemorates we shall he the better and the happier for It- • Ir - K • »r £ i The Tariff On Wheat.

A Bad Beginning, The announcement that Railroad Commissioner T. W. Atwood is to be re-appointed to bis present fat position by Governor Warner does not promise well for tbe cause of a reform adminis­ tration. Atwood is one of the man­ agers of the machine and can hardly be expected to sympathize with any policy looking to the overthrow of bossism. If Mr. Warner has any serious inten­ tion of giving the people the remedial legislation wbioh they want be surely Is beginning wrong by appointing a typical anti-reform politician to one of the most important offices within his disposal. The friends of good government will no doubt be disappointed by Mr. Warners’s .early surrender to tbe machine, but what else can*be expected of him? He was the machine candidate aud will hardly be able to escape from machine control. Even though he is sincere in wishing tp give the state a pure admin­ istration, free from extravagance and i graft bow can he escape the dictation of I the men who made him governor? It ’ would have been tbe rankest ingrati­ tude for him to have ignored the claims 1 of 1 Atwood and bis friends. The truth is the governor elect is not In a position to assert his independence ot the machine, and it is extremely un­ likely that he will try very hard to do so. His nomination was secured and his campaign conducted by anti-reform­ ers and the same forces will naturally dominate at Lansing during the War­ ner administration. No change in methods, no adequate reform of tbe election laws need be expected under the coming administration. The only way for the people to obtain the reforms they want is by electing an anti-ma­ chine- governor on an anti-machine platform. Until this is done it Is idle to expect any decided improvement In state political conditions. In any direction one may look the need of tariff revision Is apparent. The duty on wheat is at present a forceful illustration. Because of tbe absurd tax upon imported wheat the American milling Industry Is threatened with serious loss and the millers of the north west are*k nock Ing nt the doors of congross for relief. It is a well known fact that the mixing of Canadian wheat with the product of our own farms * makes a more satisfactory grade of flour than that made entirely of American wheat, and the big mills of St. Paul, Minneapolis and other centers of the industry import considerable Canadian wheat even when the crop In this country is abundant. But at the present time, when the wheat crop of the United States is be­ low the normal the need of imported Canadian wheat is greater than usual. But the tariff restrictions are in the way aud our export flour trade is fall­ ing off alarmingly. In October, 1903, it was 1,800,000 barrels; in the same month this year only 800,000 barrels. Thus our exportation of flour is be­ ing destroyed by the foolish tariff upon wheat—a tariff that helps no one. The •removal of thia imposition would not hurt a single American farmer. The only effect it could have at the present ■time would be to enable an important American industry in which millions •of dollars are invested to retain a val­ uable foreign trade which it is now rapidly losing. The present shortage of wheat will keep up prices so that the wheat raisers of the United States have nothing to fear from the impork tation of Canadian wheat. Asa matter of fact the price of wheat just now cuts little figure with them as they have no wheat to sell. On the other hand, when the United States wheat crop is up to the average in amount the demand for it is great enough and the cost of production small enough to enable it to compete with foreign wheat. In other words the duty on wheat does not help our farm­ ers under any circumstances. And so there is no possible excuse for retaining a tariff that is a positive in­ jury to the great milling interests of the country. The Pardoning Board. SANTA has been in town! Good Spirits.

The establish­ ment of a normal training department is another valuable feature, adding as it is destined to do a powerful influence for good upon tbe rural schools of this country. It was a pleasure for tbe wrl^gr to step into the superintendent's office and note the transformation which has been wrought in the appearance of the room since be was last there. A lux­ urious carpet under foot, handsomely decorated walls, heavy chenille cur­ tains draped over the windows, a fine section".! bookcase were among tbe im­ provements that greeted bis eye. Then be was pleased to note that a con­ siderable addition of new books has just been made to the library and to learn from Superintendent Chamber­ lin that plans are being formed for adding to tbe efficiency and conven­ ience of the library. Our schools are fairly well supplied with reference books, but there are still further addi­ tions that might well be made, and which we understand are in contem­ plation as soon as is practicable. Though we spent but a little time in the high school department, our ac­ quaintance with its condition is suffi­ cient warrant for saying that tbe Hast­ ings High School will compare favor­ ably, with the best secondary schools In tbe state. Its courses of study are broad and well adapted to the demands of the day and its teachers are compe­ tent, enthusiartic and conscientious. Taking our schools, all in all, there is good reason for feeling proud of them and we only wish that more of our citizens would take time to visit them.

In the busy lives which most of us lead it is seldom that our thoughts are directed to our schools and still more seldom that we take the time aud trouble to visit them. And yet there is no more important work being done in this city than that which our schools ure doing, none that involves such mo­ mentous consequence^*, none which more intimately concerns the welfare of the community. A Herald representative took time to spend a half-day in the central build­ ing and tbe adjoining grade building last Friday and was highly pleased to find every grudo prospering and doing good work. We imagine it would be a pleasant surprise to some of our citi­ zens to see what the teachers and chil­ dren are doing. They would find that a modern school room is a wonderfully different place from the old-fashioned dingy prison where the schoolmaster ruled with a strap and the children learned us little as they could. Bright, cheerfui rooms, well furnished, bright­ ened with pictures, the drudgery of study relieved with frequent songs, pleasant-faced teachers and cheerful and obedient children are the normal conditions In our modern school rooms. Of course school life is not all sunshine, but the whole spirit of modern educa­ tion is one of hearty trustfulness and helpfulness between teacher and pupils. ' Discipline is employed, penalties are ; sometimes found necessary, but these means to un end are subordinated as far as possible to tbe modern and far more satisfactory spirit to which wo have alluded. The introduction of music, drawing and manual training is, we believe, in no small degree instrumental in devel­ oping the splendid spirit which pre­ �HASTINGS HHRALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1904.

The chairman of the committee on the reading room, reported tbe advis­ ability ol keeping the room open Sun­ day afternoons and evenings. A-motion to that effect, was made and car­ ried. Mrs. Keate gave a piano solo. Mrs. VanAuken read a paper upon the ‘ 'Religion of Japan—Outlook for Christianity,” describing briefly Shintolsm, Buddhism and Confucian isn, though the latter can scarcely be called a religion as It does not inculcate the worship of any god—and the effect of Christianity already manifested in the hitherto devoted heathen.

I.U9% Police and Cossacks Break Up Revolutionary Demon­ -«5% Young Men and Women Fail to Heed Pleadings of Officers, Who Charge With Lances and Disperse the Crowd. ■ ■■ ■ K £ Moscow, Dec. 19.—The great revolu­ tionary demonstration at St. Peters­ burg Dec. 11 in which mounted gen­ darmes • put to flight students and workmen of the Social Democratic party was repeated here Sunday, when Cossacks with drawn steel swooped down on a hostile demonstra­ tion of 3,000 students in front of the governor's palace. Three hundred of the students were arrested and six­ ty were injured. The students had given notice of their purpose and the streets In the official quarter of the city were black with people, in spite of the warning of the authorities. At the appointed time the students gathered in great numbers in front of the governor’s palace. The police, mingled with the crowd and begged the demonstrators to disperse. Cossacks Uss Lances. When the actions of the crowd grew hostile the word was given and mounted Cossacks were ordered to dear the street With lances low­ ered they charged tbe students, wbo made fight. After many sharp skirmishes with groups of students tbe Cossacks suc­ ceeded in routing the demonstrators. The ringleaders are in custody. The demonstration has had a power­ ful effect on the city and the streets were full of people, but the police had the situation In hand. The students and workmen threaten an armed up­ rising to take reprisal for the arrest of their comrades. Employers Aid Police. The students had counted on the cooperation of the workingmen, but employers, by a threat to withhold the customary New Year’s gifts, in­ duced the men to abstain. Probably 5,00.0 persons actually nartldpated. The police had nr .ers to exclude demonstrators from the precinct of the palace of the Grand Duke Sergius, but the demonstrators ignored all warnings and pished along Taverekaia street shouting “Down with the war!" and singing the “Marseillaise" and other revolutionary songs. They stopped in front of tho palace and re­ fused to disperse. Students Are Scattered. After a few blank cartridges had been fired from the revolvers of the police the latter drew their swords with the assistance of the gendarmes and Cossacks drove the demonstra­ tors, students of both sexes. Into the neighboring streets, including the Boulevard Pushkin, i*bere the struggle was continued around Pushkin's statue. . None of the rioters were killed. One policeman has been fatally in­ jured. Many on both sides were roughly handled.

Dec. 19.—Il is now the hierarchy of the Mormon church against the United States senate, and there is bitter feeling In congress. It seemed probable when the investigat­ ing committee adje-’rned Saturday that matters were m pleaching a crisis and that the Morman apostles and elders, if they took one step farther In defiance of the senate, would find themselves Incarcerated in the jail of the District of Columbia as contumacious witnesses in con­ tempt of the power and dignity of the senate, and that Senator Smoot would lose his seat Immediately. Refute to Reveal Oaths. Joseph !•’. Smith and the apostles of the Mormon church were requested last spring to give testimony In re­ gard to the oaths administered In the endowment house ceremony. All of them refused. Senator Burrows, chairman of the committee, at the time said he did not care to press this matter, inasmuch as they considered themselves religiously bound not to make known these church secrets. The situation has now changed be­ cause three witnesses already have made revelations about the endow­ ment house. Senator Dubois and the other opponents of the Mormon church in congress insist that a com­ plete case has been made out against Senatqr Smoot Testimony has been introduced, they say, establishing: Effect of Testimony. "1. That every Mormon in good standing must take an oath denounc­ ing the allegiance to the United States. "2. That the doctrine of polygamy still Is maintained in the church and practiced, in spite of the Woodruff manifesto of 1890. "3. That in view of these facts, Senator Smoot should not be allowed to retain bls srat In the United States senate, because his allegiance is first to the church and second to the state, and because he is a member of a hier­ archy that still practices polygamy contrary to the laws of the United States." ’ WEEK’S FORECAST. co trade. A systematic campaign has been conducted to arouse the trade and an alliance has been formed to fight the bill. The grounds of opposition are that with cheap labor, cheap land and a low tariff, the tobacco industry of the Philippines will be stimulated to a degree which would demoralize the Industry here and ruin IL Foreign Commerce Sets Record. Washington, Dec. 19.—During the present calendar year the total for­ eign commerce of the United States seems likely to exceed that of the pre­ ceding year. The total exports prob­ ably will fall slightly below those of last year, but the grand total of im­ ports and exports combined probably will be the largest in the history of the nation’s commerce. The Imports for the eleven months ended wttti November amount to $I!39.000,000, against $918,000,000 In the corresponding months of 1903. and for the first time In history will ex­ ceed $1,009,000,000 in value for the year. The total of exports for the eleven months ended with November Is about $5,000,000 below lhe corresponding months of 1903. This slight reduction In exports Is due to the falling off in exports of breadstuffs. Mi lei Favored. Washington, D. C., Dec. 19—Gen­ eral Nelson A.

Princeton, N. J., Dec. 19.—A strange attempt at murder was made here. William Lutz, a commercial man of this town, received a small package through the mail. On opening It he found it contained a plug of tobacco with the following note, unsigned: "Friend Will: Accept this little token -.8«a Christmas present Hoping you will enjoy It, with greetings.” As he was about to use the plug Lutz happened to notice a carefully concealed silt In the side. Thinking this strange, he pried the tobacco open and found It filled with powder, whose analysis showed that the plug con­ tained thirty-two grains of arsenic and Paris green.

Yerty on “The Teacher the Vital Fac­ tor in the school.” He spolceof the re­ sponsibility of the teacher and of the careful life he should lead. Mrs. Robert Burch next rendered a very beautiful solo, and was heartily encored, after which Rev. VanAuken gave a short address on “Wherein Do Our Schools Fall; from a Patron’s Standpoint.” He said: “The schools are too rigid. Boya and girls are all sawed off at the same length. They are started into school together, and forced to remain together, regardless of aptitude. Many a boy who at twelve is very dull, often develops* into the bright young man.” He said many of tbe teachers were not particular enough about their appearance, and many fail­ ures in teaching could be triced to a slovenly character. Prof. Ernest Burnham of the West­ ern Normal School gave the conclud­ ing address on the subject, “Tbe Rural School Outlook.” He said the earliest school laws provided for the mainten­ ance of district schools. Seven things to be Inquired into are: 1. What is the popular value set on education? 2. Character of annual meeting. Do the best patrons attend? 8. Character of district officers. Are best men placed In office? 4. Best equipment of school, that is, are the best books used? 6. Is best available teacher secured. 6. What is the character of super­ vision? 7. Are children attending school? The session closed at 3:30 o’clock, aud all declared it a very instructive meet­ ing. The officers for tbe ensuing year are; President, Supt. A. W.

After the secretary’s report wm read and approved, Mr. Wallace gave hla address, “Training for Resourceful Living.” Tbe manner in which he treats the subject, showed that it wm one with which he wm familiar. Principal Don Putnam of Prairieville read a paper on “Uniformity of Rela­ tion* Between High Schools and Dis­ trict Schools. ’’ He gave m one of hla bast thought* that the text books should be uniform throughout the state. The audience wm then favored with ■ a solo by Frank Horton, which wm ■ung in his usual pleaelng manner.

I have resolutely put the hope of happiness aside. It is not for roe. Tou see, I have reasoned the whole thing out elaborately, carefully, laboriously. It Is not as if I were a young girt, rushing blindly into a future apparently couleur de roje, but in reality full of pitfalls. deep, dark and treacherous. I am a wid­ ow. I have been married once.

The fates have willed that we shall be happy. You Are determined to see roe again. Tou "WHAT WOULD BB YOUB FIB8T THOUGHT?” used to do me homage; oven those of the her! She Is mine.

Half hearted attempts are seldom crowned with success. This la good logic, either in childhood er manhood. ' No two men will exactly agree ns to wbat constitutes a perfect bog. Dif­ ferent men (men of equal ability) will pick out different hogs ns the win­ ners, snys a correspondent of Western Swine Breeder. This Is due to their different ideas as to type^and perfec­ tion. Let us see what nretiic require­ ments of a perfect hog. They are size, bone, quality, color, markings, hair. Lend, ear. symmetry, style, beauty, evenness and a dozen smaller require­ ments. These are all but minor re­ quirements in an ideal hog. The cru­ cial test, and tbe oue requirement in an ideal hog, Is, Will he make the most pork out of the least amount of feed? Ail the former go to please the eye; the latter Is to fill the pocketlraok. If need be we could dispense with all tbe former, but the latter Is the life of the business. What I wish to impress upon tho breeder is, do not forget the para­ mount object of tbe breed. It should be your duty to do all you can in select­ tag sack stock as will make the most gain from the feed fed. Feed is high and will go higher as the years pass on. It will only be with the utmost care and closest selection that we will be able to raise the excellence of efficien­ cy that has been attained In tbe last twenty-five years. We can scarcely hope to accomplish as much in the next twenty-five years. Still there Is plen­ ty of room left. Tou may wonder wliat type I con­ sider ns tbe nearest perfect. It cer­ tainly can be no other than the me­ dium hog. Extremes are always bad, be they in character, climate, weather or in stock. Extremes are bound to be unpopular. Tbe short and shuffy bog may not waste much feed, but lie is sluggish, weighs little and, would ex­ terminate the breed If continuously used for breeding purposes. Tlie long, lean and gaunt hog. in my opinion. Is a poor and wasteful feeder, requiring too long a time to market Of nil breeds introduced to this coun­ try the Tumworth most nearly resem­ bles the primitive type of hog in length and narrowness of nose and head. A Lo-Ve Game Three general classes ot these by­ products are used successful!? as feed­ ing stuffs—viz, blood meal or dried blood, tankage and meat scrap aud meat meal, says Rural New Yorker. Dried blood or blood meal Is made from tbe blood of cattle, sheep and hogs. The blood is conveyed in pans from the killing room to the drying room, where it is cooked in small tanks until the clot separates from the water. It is next pressed to remove the water, and the pressed cake is dried In a steam drier until It contains only about 5 per cent of moisture. Then It Is ground to a fine meal and sold In hun­ dred pound sucks. Dried blood bus been successfully fed to lambs in place of inllk by German experimenters. They fed about hulf n pound daily for a hundred pounds live weight of animal. It has nlso l»een used with goal results for curing and preventing scours in calves. The vnlue of this feed and of those made from • tankage and meat scrap lies In their' muscle and bone building properties.: When properly fed they have a stimu-' luting effect on the hair, making the coat silky and glossy. They are valued according to their content of protelu and should be bought only on a guar-|I antee of specified protein content । Tankage consists ot meat scraps, trimmings, bone, blood and various' — __ — I. _________ _ ---. other waste nitrogenous matter from the packing house. It Is cooked in large tanks under a steam pressure ot about forty pounds for seven or eight hours, which cooks out the tallow and grease. It Is then allowed to settle, and the grease Is drawn off. Tbe solid resi­ due is then pressed further to remove the fat and moisture. It Is next dried and ground. When dried It contains only G to 7 per cent moisture and from 40 to GO per cent protelu. Since it is made up of several different sub­ stances it Is quite variable in quality. It usually contains n considerable­ amount of phosphoric nckl, depending on the proportion of bone present. I Tankage is fed principally to pigs, ami One part tankage to from two to five of corn is the proportion fed. t What Is known as degreasing wool by the "dry method” is drawing atten­ tion In Germany. This is performed by the use of Infusoria) earth, used as an absorbent, which is applied to the wool with great force by a current of air by specially constructed but inex­ pensive machinery.

It is economy to provide prop­ er shelter, us feed is money. lengtli, depth and narrowness of body and lightness of hams, says Breeder's Gazette. Farmers of the corn belt look with no little degree of curiosity on these reminders of the primitive hog, of these suggestions of tbe "elm peelers” of the pioneer woods. But they find their place in tbe economy of porcine production. Widely at va­ riance with improved type of the lard bog and with the modern form of tbe Berkshire, tbe Tamworths have suc­ ceeded In winning the high favor of the curcra of bacon, aa their length and depth of sides, their light waste, their large proportion of lean red meat to fat, make them very attractive to pack ers who make a speciality of bacon curing. Sixty years ago there were only two breeds of sheep sufficiently well estab­ lished and recognized to have separate classes at the royal show of England. They 'were ths Leicestera and South­ downs. Not over fifty breeding ewes should be kept in one flock, and these should be of equal size and strength. POINTS ON FEEDING The bear feed we have ever used for calves, considering the money value, Is bright, sweet corn fodder stored in tbs early fall under shelter, —ya a Ken­ tucky farmer In American Agriculturist Twenty calves have been wintered almost exclusively on such roughness, with only enough good mixed bay to keep up their appetites. They con­ sumed about ISO shocks, worth 12% cents each, and one ton of hay, esti­ mated at *12, making a total of *80.75 worth of feed. This Is equivalent to *1.50 per head for the entire winter, which 1 consider very cheap.

Bill, the Back Number HOWARD FIELDING HE mau who handles the money." That Is the way tlie more aggressive newspapers spoke of James Murdock, known to his friends aa “Big Jim." Hie statement was substantially true. Murdock conducted the private negoti­ ations with tbe men of political promi­ nence whose favor was necessary to the consummation of the General Transportation deal, and Lucius Stagg, the financier, was his principal Everything was going well, except that Murdock was obliged to avoid the Injunctions and other legal missiles aimed at him by certain men whom the deal would ruin. He was supposed to have fled out of the state. In fact, •e was hidden In his own residence, which was besieged both day and night by an army of process servers, who were there upon orders, though most of them believed that the bouse was as empty as it seemed to be. Neither Stagg nor any other man prominent in the deal dared to go to Murdock’s house openly, and this peril became presently a serious annoyance because Murdock did not have the money which be was supposed to be “handling.” Tbe cash was lu the hands . of Lucius Stagg, who was extremely anxious to transfer it to his agent Upon a certain day, when the ewerlency had become extremely pressing, Btagg had n consultation with his law­ yers, Harding, Leroy A Stevens, and as t result the firm’s chief clerk was dis­ patched upon a very remarkable er­ rand. In the disguise of a tramp and with the sum of $400,000 in a money belt he went to Murdock’s house about 10 o'clock in the evening and succeed­ ed In getting into the yard without at­ tracting the attention of the process servers. A key of the side door was hidden un­ der the mat in the vestibule, and Wil­ mot was groping for it in tbe darkness when a strong hand was suddenly laid upon bls throat, and bls head was drawn back until it rested upon the shoulder of some one wbo stood behind Mm. “Who—who’s that?’ gasped Wilmot In a choked whisper. “Jes’ me; only jes’ Bill,” was the reply. “An’ this thing that Fm dig­ gin’ into your left kidney is only my re­ volver. See? So don't be frightened. What you doin’ here?” Wilmot remembered his disguise. “1 was thinking that I might get Something to eat,” he stammered. Bill stopped to reflect upon this state­ ment. “I guess tliat's right,” sold be. “I guess you’re only a hobo. I took you for a fly cop. But it seems that I done you nn Injustice. Open that door.” “Isn’t it locked?” faltered Wilmot “It was before I called,” responded Bill "Open it an* be blamed spry.” Wilmot obeyed and was pushed for­ ward Into tlie dark interior of the bouse. As the instrument of propul­ sion was the barrel of Bill’s revolver there was no disposition on the clerk’s part to delay tbe proceedings.

A recent delightful book on Scotland hns an Interesting aud apparently authentic story of a ease where the wo­ man not only took tlie initiative, but took it In a high handed fashion. The young Countess of Carrick was left a widow by tlie death of her hus­ band while on one of the crusades. The king became her guardian, and she had good reason to fear that be would force upon her u marriage of policy. She was a famous horsewoman nnd often rode for a day through her own forest, attended only by a small mount­ ed guard. One day she encountered a young man to whom she was at once much attracted. She asked him to re­ turn with her to her castle, but be had some gallant adventure already in hand nnd ungraciously declined the in­ vitation. At a word from her her men-at-arms made him a prisoner and bore him off to Turnberry castle. „ weeks r Two ’ imprisonment brought him to n proper sense of the charms of his fair hostess, and knight and lady were wedded with the reluctant consent of tbe king. The son of this romantic marriage was Robert Bruce, whose splendid patriotism and brave deeds are well fitted to Justify his mother's coura­ geous audacity. ^••acaoscoadcaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa G e BREAD MAKING: Made EASY With the Universal Bread Maker and Raiser You can mix and knead bread thoroughly in three minutes.

N NARRAGAN8ETT TURKEYS. From a recent bulletin issued by the United States department of agricul­ ture tlie following information regard­ ing the Narrnguusett turkey Is glean­ ed: The turkeys of this variety are next In size to the Bronze. They nre of black ground color, each feather end­ ing with a band of steel gray edg«| with black. This Imparts a grayish cast to the entire surface plumage. Mixed with this to the finish of metal­ lic black and bronze luster. They are beautiful in form and feather and breed true to shape and color. The fe­ male has a lighter shade of gray in her markings than tbe male. Her en­ tire color throughout is of lighter shad­ ing. The standard weights of this va­ riety are for males from twenty to thirty pounds, according to age; for Blankets, Blankets I have the largest stock and best line I have ever been able tc show.

Some old males of both this nnd the Bronze variety weigh over forty pounds. These weights are excessive nnd of but little advantage in breeding. Medium sized males nnd females are more valuable for producing stock. None of tho several varieties of tur­ keys ot this breed are so fine In form of brenst nnd body nor so long In tbe leg as the Bronze, and they are of a rattier more contented nature. They do not average so large In size os the Bronze, but where grown they- are highly valued. Some declare that the Narragnnsetts will reach market size and condition in less time than the Bronze turkeyi, but the writer has not been able to ascertain tbe truth of this statement.

As a balanced ration good, well cured clover hny will come ns near balancing an exclusive grain ra­ tion as anything I knoyj- of. If eastern poultrymen could only see onr prepar­ ed alfalfa clover hny as we raise it in the west and see how greedily our fowls eat it up and relish it they would put out a good acreage of al­ falfa. Alfalfa is much ahead of all other clovers, and fowls like it much better than tbe common red clover. When well prepared, with tbe leaves on, which In easily done If tlie clover Is cut before it comes into bloom, this hay in connection with green cut bone and tlie ordinary grain ration will give results In winter egg production. A fine quality of hay may be used without cutting to good advantage, but a clover Why cutter is certainly to be recommended. gg-j HERE is no royal road to fortune. LjyZ The most profit is made in the keep­ ing of poultry in small flocks. We know personally of a number who are handling from 300 to 500 laying hens •nd making from $1 to 11.50 each as a return for tbeir labor during the year. The thrifty, careful individual, either man or woman, who thoroughly under­ stands the care of laying hens can manage as many as 600 profitably and be able to do this throughout the year. But whenever one attempts to handle " larger flocks than these tbe care nnd expense of handling creep disadvantage or drawback to large profits.—Country Gentleman.

A. f INKE LN BURG ot St. Loui» •HE modem tendency is to confine war to PUBLIC warfare—i. e., warfare between armies and armies, between navies and navies, leaving noncoinbatants as much as pos­ sible free from injury to persons and property. It is doubtful whether the losses inflicted upon belligerents have any appreciable influence on the final result In the Napoleonic wars •the French commercial marine was destroyed at an early day, but the empire flourished until its armies were defeated at Leipsic and Waterloo. After the late Spanish war President McKinley in a mes­ sage to congress spoke of this practice as the “WASTE OF WAR.” We are considering the forcible appropriation of private property dearly not contraband in character—as, for instance, the ordinary goods, wares and merchandise of peaceable merchants engaged in their regular mercantile pursuits. •I' The United States on this subject has been dear and CON­ SISTENT. In 1823 President Monroe submitted a proposition to abolish war upon private property at sea to the ruling powers of Europe.. President Pierce declared himself in favor of the principle. An important epoch in the development of international law was the declaration of Paris of 1856. By an agreement among nearly all the maritime nations of Europe a number of troublesome questions were settled in tlie interests of peace and commerce. The signatory powers declared that privateering should be abolished. In the Austro-Prussian war of 18G6 the principle of inviolability •was adopted by both parties, and Germany proclaimed tlie same prin­ ciple in the Franco-Prussian war WITHOUT RECIPROCAL ACTION on the part of France. In 1871 a treaty was entered into between the United States and Italy which embodies the principle of immunity between the subjects and citizens of these two countries. This treaty is now in force. The principle of immunity as a genera! amendment to international law was urged upon The Hague peace conference of 1899 by Ambassador White on behalf of the United States and cordially supported by Count Nigra on behalf of Italy, but the subject not being within the scope of the call under which the conference assembled, and most of the delegates being without instruction on the subject, it was recommended for consideration to a future conference TO BE ESPECIALLY CALLED FOR THAT PURPOSE. President Roosevelt in his last message strongly recom­ mends this change in maritime warfare. LET UB HOPE THAT AFTER THE PRESENT WAR IS OVER SUCH A CONFERENCE MAY BE CALLED TOGETHER AND THAT ONE OF THE FIRST ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE CENTURY WILL BE THE ABOLITION OF THIS HERITAGE OF A RUDER PERIOD WHEN THE SUSPENSION OF ALL PROPERTY RIGHTS WAS CONSIDERED A NECESSARY INCIDENT TO INTERNATIONAL WARFARE. .

No. 80 PAPER OF MRS. A. McGOY READ BEFORE WOMEN’S CLUB FRIDAY, DEC. 15. On ths Subject of the Correlation of Music With Other Branches . of Education. (Continued from last week.) It has been said that the chief pur­ pose of teaching American history Is to foster patriotism, and in carrying out this purpose, music is unquestionably its handmaid. In time of war it spurs on the almost exhausted soldier in the forced march, the song around the -campfire inspires the d isooaraged heart with new seal; and, in the public school as well, tbe singing of patriotic word* set to suitable stirring music will do more to awaken a fervent patriotism in tbe heart* of the boys end girl* of our country than all the facta of history and the power* of eloquence. It is to be hoped that the systematic teaching of music will do much to fa­ miliarize children with our national songs, that our great nation may not be lacking in musical patriotism, and that as children of foreign land* come to our shores, they may be taught cosing their love for the land of tbe ’"Star* and Stripes.” A course of nature or elementary science has been introduced into many of our school systems; and as the great­ est poets have been nature lovers and poetry and music have been so long wedded', it is easy to see how music may be made to correlate with this portion of school work. Physiology and physical culture have for their object the training of both mind and body, so that each shall help the other to its highest usefulness. Vocal music properly taught 1* itself one form of physical culture, for it re­ quires an erect, easy position, and an increased amount of breath, which strengthens the lungs and improves the circulation of the blood. Its effect on the respiratory organs is most bene­ ficial, and professional singers are sel­ dom attacked by consumption. That there is so little of this dread disease in Germany Is thought by many to be due not altogether to more favorable cli­ matic conditions, but also to tbe fact that the Germans are especially a sing­ ing people. The daily study of music gives the will more control over tbe body; and this concentration of muscles and nerves to one act has been well said to develop and strengthen the body in It* great function a* an instrument of attention. Again, ail forms of physical culture are more or lee* rhythmical; and the better a child’s sense of time, tbe more easily and precisely will be execute the movement*, and with correspondingly belter results. Many text book* in physiology aim especially to tench the evil effects of alcohol upon the system, and song* like "Tbe Carol of Spring Water” teach Che same truth,— -V “YtaM not when wine doth rliiten; It win an yotir Uh with wrrow, Rob of an it* joy tomorrow.” Dr^Mjug i* made to correlate with other breaches by furnishing means of illustratiouf^d one of tbe best known systems of drawh^so plainly recognixes the value of muith^further to inter­ est and instruct puplls'lbat it refers in its own manual* to song* which may well be sung iu connection with study of form and color. When the pupils are taught to form for themselves the different symbols used in the expression of musical thought; such work corre­ lates with drawing by teaching the same care in observation, accuracy of expression, and neatness of execution. There can be do better example of correlation of music with form and col­ or study than l* seen in the kinder­ garten, where it I* recognized as an es­ sential part of the method. The wis­ dom of the kindergarten is beyond ques­ tion, its method* are too well known to require discussion; and the abundant use of music in a system which for so long has bad the most careful study put upon It is proof positive that music has a definite place in education and a definite work to do. The singing of the beautiful little nature songs adds greatly to the pleas­ ure of such study, and the buttercups, for example, will look all the brighter after children learn to sing— -•There's not a yellow buttercup Returning with tbe spring But It can boast o< a gulden crown As bright as any king." Again in the cultivation of an ability to distinguish both pitch »od quality of oound, and the reUnemeot of taste which meat come from good teaching makes the child quick to obeer.e the Munds of nature, and to beer mu.lo io the brook, the breeae, tbe soog of the ■bird, Obd all the world about him. The study of time will lead the child a t tx HtKALD. r-S/ant HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1904. to feel the rhythm of hie own move­ meats, and to observe the many forms of rhythm io nature. Such observa­ tions will be a constant source of pleas­ ure, and as he' grows to man’s estate, he will be the better able to grasp for himself the Idea of the harmony in all creation and of the unity of all life. It seems a long step between music and the different forms of manual train­ ing; but the work of the hands will be done all the better because the mind and will have been trained by other branches, among which music should be Included, and because the power of music to cultivate habits of careful ob­ servation and accurate expression is recognized. , It should be the fervent desire of those most deeply interested in the public school that its influence shall be as uplifting as possible morally. The question of the order of the school room is one of morals as well ns behavior, and whatever makes for the better or­ der of a class should improve its moral tone. Music is recognized as a great aid to discipline, because for its proper execution there must be uniformity of action, because the influence of song on the human heart is softening and refin­ ing, and because it is natural for chil­ dren losing, whether at home, in school or at play, and the music lesson makes them happier and better contented with their other work. An educator has said—“The essence of moral behavior is self-control:” and if music aids In developing self-control, it may justly claim a place in our edu­ cation. Next we will take up the class work. It has already been stated that the study of music require! constant exer­ cise of the will to keep the body in cor­ rect position, the vocal organs respon­ sive, and the mind active and attentive. For a few moments let us watch a class attempting a new exercise and he will see further evidences of self-control in their movements and expressions. Here is a child who readily grasps the musical idea and could; sing the work in much quicker time, but he must and does curb his impatient ability, that he may not mar the work of the class as a whole; beside him may be the slow but patient, earnest pupil whose every ef­ fort Is taxed to keep him from lagging; and another child whose mind seems careless, or perhaps whose hope train­ ing is at fault. To his child-nature the self-control be must exercise to bold one note two beats, when it is so much easier to sing them all alike, or keep still on a rest when he wants to sing straight on, is as valuable In the form­ ation of his mental and moral habits as la the solution of a more serious prob­ lem to us in adult life. He comes to feel in the music lesson that he must make his work a helpful part of the whole, and that the success of all the others depends in a way, on himself. This, after all, is the central truth in all discipline; and more than that, he who learns it beat and carries It out in his life is best prepared for citizenship in a republic like our own. Music ele­ vate* the morals of our schools, and a "song will outlive all the sermons in the memory.” is a passport to the better ranks of so­ ciety, enables him to give pleasure to | others, and is an unfailing source of pleasure to himself even in solitude. Music has ever been “the handmaid of religion!” and to-day its presence in the public school sensibly Improves the singing of the Sunday school, and will more and more make itself felt in church worship. The ability to join intelligently iu the service of song lifts the soul up and away from the sordid earth life and nearer its God and Cre­ ator. Of the effect of song upon man it has been said, "Unconsciously he is gentler, be is less earthly, and, in be­ ing nearer to heaven, he is stronger for earth.” It is reasonable to hope that the wide spread interest in the subject of corre­ lation will have a marked effect on edu­ cation, making teachers broader-mind­ ed and better able to cope with the many problems presented, to grasp the idea of unity of all knowledge, and to feel more and more the spell of tbe "one increasing purpose” which "through the ages” runs. Let music be taught with intelligence and a realizing sense that it is an in­ herent part of the great harmony of nature and life, and the boys and girls of our public schools as they grow to become men and women will gratefully echo the words of Martin Luther: "Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. 1 would not for the world forego my humble share of It.” 11.00 A Farmer*’ Institute*.

Although tbe weather was rather moist Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Heath started out with a nice turnout to give some out-of-town guests of his a little ride about town. Just as they had got nicely started on their drive and the genial mayor was about to expatiate upon tbe attractive features of the city, one of tbe horses decided to lie down ■and rest. Whether the brute waatired, or only overcome with tbe thought of being driven by the mayor, we cannot say, but for about two hours things re­ mained in statu quo, while the obsti­ nate "critter” refused to proceed. This peculiar conduct of the hone made the ride Interesting, anyway, and wf’ll bet that neither Fred nor his guasto will soon forget it. A Kindly DNd. A certain young lady in this city thought she would play a good joke on her best fellow Christmas. So she got a five-cent pair of cloth mittens, did them up in a neat package and sent them to him for a Christmas present. Sunday evening the young lady waa surprised and mortified to see her young man come Into church, ostentatiously wearing the great, clumsy affairs on bis hands, and showing his present to everybody. Then she was sorry she bad given him tbe mitten and hasten­ ed to make things right by presenting him with a real nice pair of glove*. He Got Even With Her. It was a happy thought on the pert of Miss Anna Johnson and her Sunday school class to remember the humble people at the county farm. They sent a bountiful supply of candies, fruits and nick-knacks of all kinds out to the farm Saturday night and Over­ seer John LI ch ty dressed up as Santa Claus and presented his twenty wards with these nice things in truly Christ­ mas fashion.

Roosevelt's majority over all his rivals reached the record­ breaking figures of 1,746,708, and over Mr. Parker the president's plurality was 2,547.578. In 1900 William Mc­ Kinley had 4G7.04G more votes than ail other candidates end 859,984 more than William Jennings Bryan. The vote for Mr. Roosevelt was therefore 409,822 more than for Mr. McKinley, while Mr. Parker was supported by 1.­ 277,772 fawer electors than gave their ballots to Mr. Bryan. The total vote this presidential year was 13,508,496, against 13.968,547 In 1900, a decrease of 460,078 votes. McKinley polled more votes than Roosevelt In Alabama, Georgia, Ken­ tucky, Louisiana. Maine, Maryland. Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Roosevelt got more than McKinley in the other thir­ ty-two states. Parker received more votes than Bryan in Delaware. Georgia, Missis­ sippi. New Jersey, New York, Rhode •’land, South Carolina and Wat Vir­ ginia. while Bryan got more than Parker in the remaining thirty-seven states. Roosevelt carried thirty-two states, against twenty-eight by McKinley, and has 336 electoral votes under the ap­ portionment of 1900. McKinley had 292 under the apportionment of 1880. there having been an addition of 29 by the last apportionment.

Take some reliable remeky for it to-day—and let that remedy be Dr. Bosebee’s German syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continueduse for u few days will cure you com­ pletely. No matter how deep-seated your cough, even if bread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—as It has done before In thousands of apparently hope­ less eases of lung trouble.

F. PULD, Bailor and Proprietor. Democracy’s Future. The first pronounced effort since Lhe election to get prominent democrats together and formulate a policy for tbe future of the party is to be made by the democrats of Tippecanoe county, Ind. They are to have a banquet on the tenth of January to which they have Invited William J. Bryan, Thomas Taggart, Governors Douglas, Folk, Johnson and Adams, as well as several other leaders, and it is expected that at least Mr. Bryan will attend and speak. It is no doubt well enough for such a meeting to be held, but it is hardly to be expected that the policy of tbe next campaign can be determined upon at this early date. The issues on which the party will appeal to the country in 1906, when a new congress will be elected, will depend largely upon com­ ing events, the doings of the present administration and tbe congress which meets next December and upon politi­ cal conditions yet unknown. Hence it is not possible at tbe present time to put forth a declaration of policy with any assurance that it can be made to apply to the next great struggle be­ tween the parties. If this fact is kept in mind meetings such as is proposed by tbe Indiana democrats ought to be productive of much good. The grqnd old party of the constitution is at the present time in a dazed condition. Its defeat in the late election, was monumental and it has hardly had time as yet to catch its breath and pull itself together. But there is no need for the old party to despair and die. It is founded on prin­ ciples vital to tbe prosperity and even ezistence of this republic and all it needs to do in its present affliction is to stick to its time-honored creed and re­ iterate its firm belief in tbe eternal verities which it has always fought for. It is no time for the democratic party to weaken in ita traditional faith cr to run after new and strange doctrines. It is sometimes sneeringly called a con­ servative party, but its conservatism is its glory and ita strength. If the prin­ ciples of the declaration of independ­ ence and of the constitution are true, then they should be conserved, empha­ sized, Insisted upon. If this country is to give equal rights to all and special privileges to none, if every man is to have an equal chance, if America is to continue to “spell opportunity,” as one of our philosophers has happily ex­ pressed it, then there is need, urgent need, of the democratic party, and there will continueito be a mission for it to perform. But if the organization is to be turned over to populism, socialism aud all the other visionary and impracticable isms of the day, then its glory, its useful­ ness, its right to continue .as a demo­ cratic party, will depart forever, and some other party will have to take up Ita mantle and carry out ita policies or this republic will fail. Hence it follows that the leaders of democracy can accomplish much at tbe present time by taking careful counsel, bv insistently teaching the principles of the party and entering upon a con­ servative policy of education and re­ alignment of tbe force, which, though temporarily defeated, must reawaken •nd become powerful, under a wise and far seeing leadership. Nor should tbe tact be lost sight of for one . moment that tbe tremendous success of the republican party is likely to prove its undoing. Tbe excess of its j triumph is likely to make it arrogant, reckless and extravagant, and In this age of independent thinking, the peo; pie are not to be trifled with very long. They will not hesitate to change their public servants when they are con­ vinced that such a change is for their Interests. The democratic party baa only to watch and wait, keeping close to ita glorious principles, and its hour of vindication will come. But it must be true to itself to win such a triumph. Tho Czar's Answer to Reformers. Emperor Nicholas has dashed tbe hopes of tbe Russian reformers who had ventured to think that he would grant constitutional government to the empire. Tbe agitation for this reform which has recently been carried out by the Zemstvos, appears to have reached a point where this autocratic ruler has felt Impelled to express himself, and though he has shown considerable sym­ pathy with the movement,, be has at last disillusioned those who fondly dreamed that he could be so magnani­ mous as to abrogate any of his autocrat­ ic power. When one of tbe assemblies called Zemnro rent him a petition uklng blm, “Io • moot loyal monnor” -« •« told, to convoke le«ally elected mem­ ber. of the Zemstvo. to prerent a pro-mm of reform, for fata ooo.lder.tloo, be -rote oo tbe dlwateb: "I coo.lder tbe notion of tbe president to be preeomptloo. .nd tretlees Queetloo. of etale administration are of no concern to the Zomttvo.. -bore function, and rlebt. are elearl, deOned by tbe law. Tbl. la plain’? »•’>■* “oUM “tl” Bowlan middle and lower clu.es that they bare °° bn.I new to Interfere *» affairs of government. The bign and mlgthy monarch who by the acci­ dent of birth, is called czar, has in his keeping all power to govern as he pleases the millions of his fellow mor­ tals who happen to have been born within the borders of Russia. It is presumptions for these slaves of his to have any mind of their own, to aspire to any rights which he in his inscrut­ able wisdom has not vouchsafed to grant them. It Is almost impossible for Americans to understand how a mighty nation can tolerate such arbitrary treatment at the bands of a fellow mortal. But the autocratic principle of government under which the Slavic people have lived for so many centuries could have no other loglcalin terpretation than that which Emperor Nicholas has placed upon it. According to that principle ho rules by divine right and can do no wrong. It is presumptuous, according to his way of looking at It for the peo­ ple to ask him to share any part of that divine right with ordinary, unconse­ crated mortals. He would like to see bls people happy, no doubt, but they must nut imagine that they are to have any voice in governing themselves. Questions of state administration are not for them to consider. It must be acknowledged that the emperor Is consistent with the princi­ ple of autocracy, and Is doing just what might be expected of an autocrat. It would be dangerous to his position of absolutism to admit the least opening wedge to the doctrine of civil liberty. But his position, in this age of the world is a monstrous one and it is doubt­ ful whether even the phlegmatic Rus­ sians will endure it much longer. Un­ less concessions are made to the just demands of the masses very soon it is likely that revolution will sweep over the tyrant-cursed empire, and tbe rights of men to govern themselves be triumphantly asserted, even in tbe land of the czar. . Some Educational Problems. The pedagogues of Michigan are assembled at Lansing this week, giving and receiving new ideas, and incident­ ally having a good social time renew­ ing old acquaintances and forming new ones; or should we reverse it aud say having a good time and incidentally imbibin j new ideas. There is no doubt that, however little interest annual gatherings of the teachers invoke on tbe part of other professions and organ­ izations, they are in reality yery fruit­ ful in good co tbe people of the state. The problems which tbe teachers of Michigan have to solve involve very momentous consequences to this com­ monwealth of ours. If Michigan is to 'stand at the front in the coming years her children must be wisely and judic­ iously trained to good citizenship and this is the problem that confronts our educators. That it has not been satis­ factorily solved will be admitted by every one who has made tbe least study of existing conditions. True, much has been doue of late years to improve the efficiency of our common school system, but much remains yet to be accom­ plished. It may be said in general that while gradation and syitemization have done much for our city and village schools, they have also been productive of serious evil. The machinery which it has been thought necessary to employ In forming the graded system, has been too rigid. Too little account is taken of Individual temperament and capacity. All children are started in at the first grade and are expected to come out at tbe twelfth with the same attainments, and to rise by equal steps and iu uni­ form rate of progression. Of course this is illogical and un­ natural and our more advanced educa­ tor* realize It. But bow to overcome the defect without producing disastrous confusion is a question that does not seem very near solution. But that it will be measurably solved does not ad­ mit of much doubt. Then there is the pressing problem of reforming our rural schools. A great deal of money and effort are at present being wasted in the attempt to carry on our rural schools with some degree of tbe efficiency which obtains in our graded schools. It is a pity that thia maximum of expense and effort should result in a minimum of benefit and it fa tho duty of our educational leaders to find a remedy. There is no class of our population to whom good schools are so needful os to our verely taxed in making this capture | and the sacrifice of human lives which ' 'it entailed was deplorable. But to ! Japan it is likely to be worth ull it I cost. For when this commanding posi­ tion was once in tbe hands of the j Mikado’s gunners, tbe destruction of the enemy’s fleet lying at anchor in ihe harbor was soon accomplished. As soon os heavy naval guns>* could be dragged into position nnd the range found, the splendid battleshhips nnd cruisers of the Russian navy that were lying within reach of those awful mis­ siles were doomed. It took but a few hours for tbe skilled gunners on that commanding hill to sink and batter into scrap heaps war ships worth more than $30,0000,000, thereby relieving Japan’s naval power from all present danger, and making it possible for Ad­ miral Togo to put hisships in readiness to meet the Baltic fleet now on its way to the scene of conflict. That tbe next decisive event In the great struggle will be the naval en­ counter between the fleets of Togo and Rcdjesvensky can not be doubted and when it comes a great tragedy will L-e enacted destined to be historical and spectacular to a high degree. So far as conditions can be depended on to base a prediction as to the outcome of the impending light it is safe to say that the chances are greatly in favor of another Japanese victory and the complete undoing of Russia’s naval power. TUB republican leaders will have to discipline the president in some way. He is acting scandalously independent in his appointments, having actually offered the postmastership of Baltimore to a man who was not recommended by the politicians, but endorsed only by Charles J. Bonaparte, a democrat! -saTHAT^ UNDERWEAR TYou know our reputation for keeping the best in this line has never disappointed you, IWe have the same good values, although some lines are broken, / . .

A sure cure 'for the ague, according to an old time specific, was to rub a live spider in butter and then eat it. Tbe late Vincent Stuckey Lane, who died in England after spending much of bis life in the collection of folk lore, gives ninny other instances of tlue med­ icines of former generations. To rub a dried mole to powder and to swallow os much of it as would lie on a shilling for nine days in succession was anoth­ er cure for ague. A liarc’s foot carried on tbe person prevented colic, eels ap­ plied to the ears were a siieciflc against deafness, and epilepsy yielded to a gentle treatment of toadstools gathered just ns they were forcing their way through the ground and swallowed in claret at midnight There were many ways of curing fits, but tbe simplest plan was to go into a church at mid­ night and walk three times round tbe communion table. A snake’s akin worn round the temples was good for tbe headache, but if that failed tbe sufferer might try moss grown on a human ■kull, then powdered and taken ns snuff. Whooping cough could never be caught by a child who had ridden a bear, but if no bear was handy the child might be soundly thrashed or drawn backward through a bramble bush. The subject of signs and bmens tills a number of pages of Mr. Lane’s five volumes. Under tbe heading "Good and III Luck In Marriage” he shows on how trifling n matter the marital happiness or unhappiness of our ances­ tors could turn. It was unlucky, for example, to receive'a present of doves, to marry on the annlve-sary of birth, to tread on the tall of a cat, to put on one's stockings wrong aide out or to try the wedding ring on before mar­ riage. On the wedding day the happy cou­ ple had to redouble their vigilance, as a horse looking at them through a gateway, a pig running across their path on tbe way to church, n dog runnlng between them or tbe clock striking during the ceremony might wreck tbelr happiness.

The human eye in perfect condition la able to see objects separately that are only one minute of arc apart Put two objects—as, for instance, two black circles on a white ground—just one inch apart and then place them at a distance of about 28Gj£ feet As seen with the naked eye the apparent space between tbe circles will be a minute of arc. This space is plainly tbe limit of ’detail visible to the unassisted human aye. Now. it might be supposed that an Insect, having a compound eye, would be able to see more detail than we can do—in other words, could separate ■mall objects closer together. As a matter of -fact owing to the small aperture of the lenses composing tbe facets of the eye and tbe spacing be­ tween tbe facets, Insects see less detail than we do. Dr. G. Johnstone Stoney calculated that a dragon fle^annot see separately two objects which are plac­ ed less than one degree apart In oth­ er words, to such an Insect two silver coins lying on a table three inches apart and viewed from a distance ex­ ceeding fourteen and one-third feet would appear ns a single object Bees and flies, according to the same au­ thority. are still more limited In their ability to see the details of objects pre­ sented to their eyes. A fly could only see the two silver coins above describ­ ed separately at a distance not exceed­ ing about seven feet The stinging tree of faraway Queens­ land is a luxurious shrub, pleasing to the eye. but dangerous to the touch. It grows from two or three Inches to ten or fifteen feet in height and emits! a disagreeable odor. A traveler says: “Sometimes while shooting turkeys In the shrubs I entirely forgot the sting­ ing tree till I was warned of Its clow proximity by its smell and hove often found myself In n little forest of them. I was only once stung, and that very lightly. Its effects are curious. It leaves no marks, but tbe pain is mad­ dening., and for months afterward the part when touched is tender in rainy weather or when it gets wet in wash­ ing, etc. I hare seen a man who treats ordinary pain lightly roll on the ground in agony after being stung, and I bare known a horse so complete­ ly mad after getting into a grore of the trees that he rushed open mouthed at every one who approached him and had to be shot. Dogs when stung will rush about. whining piteously, biting pieces from the affected part," Clara—Are you engaged to Douglas for good? Gertrude—It looks so.

Chadwick Into Custody When He Reaches New York. Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 23.—When Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick lands in New York from Purls he will be greeted at the Ftoamer by Sheriff Barry of this coun­ ty. The sheriff will have extradition papers to secure Dr. Chad wick’s re­ turn for trial under an indictment voted jointly against the physician and his Wife on the charge of having forged and uttered a $5,006,000 note signed Andrew Carnegie. The grand jury’s action was unex­ pected. Prosecutor Keeler counted on a delay in securing the necessary papers for Dr. Cbadwlck’s return and feared that tbe steamship on which he Is a passenger might arrive before they were secured. Sheriff Barry ar­ ranged to obtain the requisition from Gov. Herrick of Ohio and he will leave Sunday night for Albany, N. Y., to obmln extradition papers from Gov. Odell, Dr. Chadwick, It is expected, will reach New York on Wednesday and will not resist returning to Cleve­ land. It was mainly on the testimony of Preside” t Beckwith of the Citizens' National bank of Oberlin, Ohio, that the jurors voted to indict Dr. Chad­ wick. A number of persons whose names have frequently appeared In connection with the case went before the jury at various times. Mrs. Chadwick appeared not the leastr concerned and asked only if there had been anyone else indicted, mentioning the name of a person who has figured in the case to some ex­ tent. She declined to make any com­ ment, saying: “It will do me no good to discuss my affairs In the newspapers.” CAN A JEW BE A POLYGAMIST?

Some think it absolutely necessary to have a place for the hog to wallow in. I do not Even in the hottest weather ■hade and dry surroundings will keep him healthy and much more presenta­ ble. If the wallow is fed by a good live stream that flows In and out of the wallow all right, but if fed by only enough water to make a mudbole or mortar bed I look on It as a very dan­ gerous place to allow hogs to go. A hog will often start a wallow, espe dally In our tough limestone day. He roots out a place In the earth to fit his । body nnd probably get cool earth to He I in.

The Maine station made both feedIng and digestion experiments wlth soy beans and corn silage, says Ameri­ can Cultivator. The silage —ept well, was readily eaten and was preferred by sheep to plain coni silage. It was found impossible to use one pound less of grain per cow per day when soy beau nnd corn silage were' fed against coni silage. In the feeding experiment with un­ ion grains it was found that they gave i rather better results than tbe same weight of a mixture made up by weight one part cottonseed meal, one, part linseed meal nnd two parts of wheat bran. Feed Roaikm First. I In feeding the horse do not flrst give the grain and then let the horse fill up on hny. Feed the hay or roughage first, then the grain. In this way more use is obtained of tbe grain, and it pleases the horse's appetite much bet ter.—Cor. National Stockman. It Is snld that fully 85 per cent of our common weeds are readily eaten by sheep; consequently a sheep farm is generally a clean farm. «>------------------------------- ■--- <1 VALUE OF HEIFER BEEF ii----------------------------------------------------- The British market does not discrim­ inate against heifers as the American market does. In fact it pays a slight premium for them, claiming that they have more flesh in proportion to bone and finer flesh than steers have, soys National Stockman. That a part of the discrimination against heifers Is unwarranted the Iowa experiment station has proved by finishing steers and heifers, selling them on tbe market and following them through the slaughter house. It was found that while the steers killed ■lightly better there was not enough difference to justify tbe premium of a dollar per hundredweight alive, at which they sold. Based on tbe returns made by tbe dressed carcass and tbe byproducts, the relative prices were: Steers, 35.75 per hundredweight; spray­ ed heifers, $5.37 per hundredweight, and open heifers, 35.32 per hundred­ weight No material difference was found In tbe quality of steer and'beifer beef. The station found also what Is gen­ erally known—that In feeding heifers will ripen nt an earlier age than steers. The man with pedigreed cattle needs the quality of patience, says Breeder’s Gazette. While he la waiting for the game—his market—let him have pa­ tience and put in his time In bettering' his herd, getting ready to land bls cus­ tomers when the proper time comes. The tenderfoot iu the stock industry frets nnd fumes, sells out if prices de­ cline, tries another bre?d, buying when prices are high, neglects the breeding; problem and the development of the young stock and nt the close declares I that “there is uo game in the hills.’’ HUSS AN SHIPS Lffi HARBOR Torpedo Boat Destroyers Escape From Port Arthur During Snowstorm. JAP FLEET SEEKS SQUADRON Vice Admiral Kamimura Goes Forth Locate Czar’s Baltic Ships and Prevent Vessels From Making Port. London, Dec. 23.—The Dally Tele­ graph’s Cheefoo co-respondent reports that eight torpedo boat destroyers have escaped from Port Arthur, where, for twenty-four hours, he says, a severe snowstorm has been raging. Kamimura Commands. Singapore, Dec. 23.—Vice Admiral Kamimura who practically smashed tbe Russian Vladivostok squadron, is in command of the Japanese squadron that Is seeking to intercept the Baltic fleet. It is understood that one of his objects is to prevent the Russians from entering the ports of French Cochin-China to refit and recoal after their voyage across the Indian ocean. Patrol ships will be posted on all routes that are most likely to be fol­ lowed by Admiral Rojestvensky among the islands and especially in the strait of Malacca and the strait of Sunda to warn the Japanese ot the approach of the Russian fleet. Make-Up of Squadron. Two vessels of Vice Admiral Kamimura’s fleet put into this port They wore the converted cruisers Nippon and Hongkong, both formerly Pacific liners with great coal capacity. An officer of one of the cruisers stated that Vice Admiral Kamimnra’s squadron was made up of two battle­ ships, two flrst class cruisers, two sec­ ond class cruisers, and twelve torpedo boots. They were sighted late in the day steaming westward. WILL ARREST HUSBAND OF WOMAN FINANCIER < '.'0 Sheriff Will Be Ready to Take Cr. Chadwick Into Custody When He Reaches New York. Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 23.—When Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick lands In New York from Paris he will be greeted at the Ft earner by Sheriff Barry of this coun­ ty. The sheriff will have extradition papers to secure Dr. Chadwick’s re­ turn for trial under an indictment voted jointly against the physician end his wife on the charge of having forged and uttered a 35,000,000 note signed Andrew Carnegie. The grand Jury’s action was unex­ pected. Prosecutor Keeier counted on a delay in securing the necessary papers for Dr. Chadwick's return and feared that the steamship on which he is a passenger might arrive before they were secured. Sheriff Barry ar­ ranged to obtain the requisition from Gov. Herrick of Ohio and he will leave Sunday night for Albany, N. Y„ to ob­ tain extradition papers from Gov. Odell. Dr. Chadwick, It is expected, will reach New York on Wednesday and will not resist returning to Cleve­ land. It was mainly on the testimony of President Beckwith of the Citizens' National bank of Oberlin, Ohio, that the jurors voted to indict Dr. Chad­ wick. A number of persons whose names have frequently appeared In connection with the case went before the jury at various times. Mrs. Chadwick appeared not the least 'concerned and asked only if there had been anyone else indicted, mentioning the name of a person who has figured in the case to some ex­ tent She declined to make any com­ ment. saying: “It will do me no good to discuss my affairs In the newspapers." CAN A JEW BE A POLYGAMIST? Whether or Not Religion Allows Plural Marriages Raised in Court. Odessa. Dec. 23.—The question whether Jews are prohibited by their religion from contracting plural mar­ riages has been raised in the case of a man named Cronsteln, convicted of polygamy, owing to his taking ad­ vantage of the Russian law which recognizes the legality of plural'mar­ riages where the faith of the con­ tracting parties recognizes it. Cron­ steln appealed, claiming although the practice was discontinued in western countries the Jews were following tbe teaching of Gershon as authorized by the Talmud and Qie patriarchs David, Solomon, etc., and that the pracuce was now followed by the Israelites In the mountains of the Caucasus. The court allowed the ap­ peal ard summoned a rabbi to give ex­ pert testimony. RUSSIA IS INTERESTED. St. Petersburg, Dec. 23.—The an­ nouncement that two Japanese battle­ ships, four cruisers, and twelve tor­ pedo boats are proceeding west from Singapore is received here with much Interest. It is not believed, however, that such a small suuedron can have been sent out by Japan with any idea of engaging in offensive operations. It Is generally believed that Vice Admiral Rosjestve’'*Ky Intends . to establish a naval coabng base on some small island between Madagascar and the Philippines, and that the Japanese cruising squadron hopes to mark down the rendezvous for Vice Admiral Togo’s information. The hope is expressed that Admiral COTTON MILL TIE-UP MAY _..D Rosiestvensky will be able to catch up with the Japaneen scouts, which, It Operators Are Said to Be R -fy to Restore Wages. e is believed, he could easily destroy, thereby weakening the Japanese in Fall River, Mass..
