Tillman Again Slops Over and Again Insults the Senate. Disclaims Intention cf Doing Offensive but Gees on Record. Washington, Fob. 28.—Senators 11c I.: iirin aial Tillman if South Carolina were severely fciisurcd by the United States Senate, today, f ir the sensa tional pci:nbal ent ounter botw on them a 1 h1 lioov of the Senate, last Satur day. during the consideration of the Philippine tariff bill. The adoption of the resolution of ensure probably closes the incident so far as Mr. Me I.aurin is concerned. Mr. But rows, hail man of the com mittee on privileges and elections, to which tlie MeBaurin-Till man contro versy liad been referred, reported the ie:- lution of censure framed by a ma jority of tlie committee. Accompany ing tin- resolution was a report setting forth the conclusions of the majority. A brief statement was presented by Democratic members of the committee dissenting from some of the conclusions of tie majority They agreed, however, to i he majority resolution. The minority report was presented by Senators Mcforaas, Beveridge and Pritchard, Republicans, who maintained that tin- adoption of a resolution of ensure was n it a sufficient punish ment. There was practically no debate on the resolution, although Mr. Ballinger and Mr. Platt, Conn., made it evident by brief statements tiiat the resolution wa; not quite satisfactory to them. The; resolution was adopted by a vote of .74 to 12. When Mr. Tillman’s name was called he add,Ml a new sensation to tlie pro ceedings by rising and saying with ill concealed emotion: “Among gentlemen an apology for an ofience committed under heat of blood is usually considered sufficient.” The auditors caught their breath as Mr. Tillman thus entered his protest against the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Till man's words induced Mr. Kean (X. J.) to rise at the conclusion of the roll and say: “Having heard the senator from Smith Carolina again insult the Senate, I change my vote from aye to no.’’ At the request of Mr. Burrows, the statement of Mr. Tillman was read. Instantly the South Carolina senator disclaimed any intention of being offen sive to the Senate and said that if hia words were so considered he would with draw them. Tlie Chair (FYyej said that by unani mous consent they might be withdrawn, but Mr. ldetrieh (Neb.) objected. The incident was closed without further com ment. Tlie Senate adopted the conference re port on the permanent census bill and then lagan consideration of the irriga tion measure. Clark fWyo.) delivered a speech in its support. For some time af terwards the Senate considered tlie omni bus claims bill but did not dispose of it. When the Senate was called to or der a notably large attendance of sen ators was on the floor and the galleries were thronged. Both Senators Mc l.aurin and Tillman of South Carolina, were in their seats. Burrows. Mich., chairman of ^the committee on privileges and elections, immediately after the journal was ap proved, addressing the Chair, said that by direction of the committee he was instructed to make a report upon the controversy arising out of tin* t»cr sonal altercation on the floor of the Senate lie tween Senator Tillman and Senator Mclt,d Ivcnlng March I.

BURIED IN SNOW. Mountain Slides Bury Miners Near Telluride, Col. Etti mates of the Dead Range from Ten to Seventy Men. tcfcond Slid* Overwhelm* Party of 40 or More Rescuers. Telluride, Col., Feb. 28.—Between 60 and 7u men sire reported dead beneath a enow slide which wrecked the Liberty Belt mine shaft house. The slide came down at 7.20 this morning. It is re ported there were between Cu and 70 men in tl,e bunker house at the time it was carried down into the gulch below. Communication witn the mine is shut oft and the names of the victims cannot be ascertained. Fred Clemmon, boss of the boarding house, and Charles Hall, a well-known miner, were killed. The present storm is the worst since 3895 and slides are expected at any min ute at Ophlr and other places. The mine buildings and bunk house of the Liberty Bell were completely buried under an avalanch of snow and swept into the gulches hundreds of feet below. It is not yet possible to ascer tain the number of lives lost but the es timate is placed at anywhere fiom 10 to 70. The bunk house which was crushed like, an eggshell by the avalanch as it slid down the steep mountain side, was crowded with miners. A few of these, by superhuman efforts managed to ex tricate themselvc-s from among the broken timbers and dig their way out of the snow. Many, however, who were ncit killed outright, were maimed Into a utate of helplessness and carried down into the debt Is. At 12 o’clock, a currier arrived from the scene of the accident with the news that many bodies hud already been re covered and were being carried down the mountain side, to the morgue at Telluride. Of the dead only two have Deeii lueiiuneu. Unless the messengers were hastily sent to the mine U|x>n receipt of the first news of the accident return, the full details of the catastrophe will not be known. At 1 o'clock, this afternoon, a powerful glass was directed toward the trail lead ing up to the Liberty Bell. Squads of miners carrying bodies of their unfortu nate laborers could be seen coming down. It required from two to four men to carry each body and the descent was necessarily slow. Several Finns who were not caught In the avalanche reached the city, at noon, but they were too excited and fright ened to give any details. The first news of the snowslide reached Tellurlde shortly after 1 o'clock, and was brought down by a messenger. He did not wait to learn the full extent of th daniage, but he knew that help must b summoned. THE SECOND SLIDE. About 40 of the Rescuing Party Said to Be Buried. Tellurlde. Co!.. Feb. 28.—2 30 P.

57th CONGRESS. (Continued from pace 1.) question. The offenses committed by the two senators were not. in the opinion of a majority of the committee, of equal gravity. The charge made by Mr. Till man had been once before in the Senate specifically denied in parliamentary lan gaage by Mr.' Mclaiurin. The offense charged against Mr. McEaurin was among the most reprehensible a senator could commit. He could not ignore or fall to refute it and hope to be longer re spected as a man or as a senator. "Mr. Mcl^aurin did not commence the encounter, but only stood in his place at his desk where he was speaking and re sisted the attack that was made upon him. In other words, his offense was confined to the use of unparliamentary* language, for which he had unusual prov ocation. Nevertheless, his offense was a violation of the rules of the Senate of so serious a character that in the opin ion of the committee it should be con demned. ••On the case of Mr. Tillman the record shows that the altercation was com menced by the charge he made against Mr. McLaurin. Such a charge is inex cusable except in connection with a res olution to investigate. Mr. Tillman ha I not made the charge without any avowal of a purpose to investigate, but also dis claiming knowledge of evidence to estao lish the offense, and this he said after the charge had been specifically and un qualifiedly denied by Mr. McEaurin. “Such a charge under, any circum stances would be resented by any man worthv to be a setiator: but. as it was in this instance, its offensiveness was greatly intensified and the result must have been foreseen by Mr. Tillman, if be took any thought, as he should, of the consequences of his statement. *1 hi feature of his offense, coupled with th. tact that he also commenced the encoun ter by quitting his .seat some distant-" away from All. MoEaurin and rushing violently upon, struck him in the face, makes ilie case one of suc h exceptional misbehavior that a majority of the com mittee are of opinion that this offense was of much greater gravity than that of Mr. McLaurin. "The penalty of a censure by the Sen ate in the nature of things must vary in actual severity in proportion to the pub lic sense of the gravity of offence .if which the offender has been adjudged guilty. "Therefore, notwithstanding that fact in the opinion of the majority of the com mittee there is a difference in the grav ity of the offenses under consideration vour committee are ot the opinion that public good and the dignity of the Sen ate will be alike best promoted and pro tected. so far as this particular case is concerned, by imposing upon each sena tor by formal vote the censure of the Senate tor the offense by him committed, and therefore recommends the adoption of tho resolution.” At the conclusion of the reading of the majority report. Bailey (Texasl offered the following statement as representing the views of himselt and four other sen ators: ••We dissent from so much of thp re port of the committee as asserts the pow er of the Senate to suspend a senator an i thus deprive a state of its vote, and so much as describes the offenses of the senators as to different gravity; but we approve the resolution reported. (Signed) J. BAII.EY. E. BETTI'S. J. BEACKBt’RN. FRED W. Di'BOrS. MFRPHY J. FOSTER. Members of the Committee on Privi leges and Klectiuns.” The report of the minority of the com mittee was then presented by -MeComas on behalf of himself and Beveridge, In which Pritchard concurreil in part. In this Statement the senators signing it say that while thev accept the statement of the case as made in the principal report they do not agree with the majority ol the committee as to the punishment pro posed by the majority. Then they say: “The Junior senator from South Caro lina is guilty of unparliamentary lan guage. The senior senator from South Carolina is guilty of physical violence. Neither in the statutes in any state not in the common opinion of mankind ar» these two offenses the same. If the Sen ate is to retain the respect of the country it must retain its own self-respect. This cannot be done by lightly passing over the grave offenses It has suffered. Th lightest form of punishment is a repri mand or censure. It 4s the latter which the majority proposes to inflict for tw offenses differing in character and grav ity The minority of the committee nr: of the opinion that this punishment t“ inadequate and to ignore the difference between the offenses is unjust. The mi tuirity of the committee is of the opinion that suspension of the two offenders from senatorial privileges, heretofore indicted should now be formally adjudged and continued for different periods of time.” The minority report then enters upon an extended argument in support of this proposition. The argument is based upon the second clause, fifth section of the constitution, conferring upon each House of Congress power to punish its members for disorderly behavior. The report con cludes by recommending that Senator MoL-aurlti be suspended from his func tions as a senator for five days, and tha-. Senator Tillman be suspended for 2T. days It adds: ••The objection that no punishment should deprive u sovereign state of its votes In the Senate falls when we con sider the rights of all the states, and. above all. the rights and duty of the Sen ate of the Cnited States to punish an un usually grave offense. Mr. Pritchard's addition to the above statement is in the following language: “I concur in all.the foregoing views ex cept as to the punishment of the junior senator from South Carolina. It is nr opinion that the punishment he lias al ready suffered is adequate to his off.-use. I make no recommendation as tu th puntslunent to be ltni>osed on the senior senator from South Carolina.” Bacon Called attention to what he con sidered an Important omission in tin- nar rative o( the majority relative to the currence oi i.ts> oammaj. no official record of the proceedings in the scrte* executive session, he said, hill some of the salient facts ought to lie brought out. He said that the senior sen ator from South Carolina. Tillman, na I expressed a desire through the si*nator from Kentucky. Blackburn, to make pub lic acknowledgment of his error and to apologize to the Senate. The junior sen ator from South Carolina. Mcl-mrln ha 1 HXprt ss^d til** sain*- d**siro throu^ht him. Bacon. He deemed it important that these facts' should be made a part of the record. _ Gallinger said that, under the Senate rules, it was not competent to move to substitute a minority for a majority re port, otherwise he would move to substi tute the minority report for that of the majority, because he believed the minor ity report reei.mmemlod the prerise kind of punishment which ought to be inflict.‘,1 on tlie two senators. The minority re port lie thought properly differentiated tietween the degrees of offense commit ted by the senators. I'nder the circum stances. he felt constrained to vote for the resolution. When the name of Mcl.nurin of Mis sissippi was reached In the roll call, h said: "Being related by kinship to one of the senators involved. T ask to be ex cused from voting. The request was granted. When the name of Mel.aurin of Soma Carolina. one of the offending senators, which had been restored to the roll, was called, lie said: "I refrain from voting for obvious reasons." When Tillman s name was called he rose deliberately, his face stern and pale Evidently he was laboring under great emotion. “Among gentlemen." he said stowlv and distinetly. "an apology for an offense committed under tile heat of blood is usually considered sufficient.' Then be resumed his seat amid gasps of astonishment front senators. Burrows hastened to the desks of the official stenographers and directed that Tillman's words be written out at one At the conclusion of the roll call hut before the announcement of the vot Kean (N. J.t. who had voted for the tei nlutlon. addressed the .Chair, saving: ("Having heard the senator from South Carolina. Tillman, again Insult the Sen ate. I change my vote from aye to no." The resolution was adopted S4 to II. a« i iTeas-r Aldrich. Aft I son.. Bacon. Bailey. Bard. Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Barrows.

Dear Mrs. Pixkham Your Vegetable Compound has done myself and sister so much good that if I can possibly help some sufferer by sending you a testimonial for publication I feel as though I ought to do so. For several years 1 suffered with painful menstruation. The paiu would sometimes begin ten to twelve hours before menses appeared, and sometimes in t until that length of time after, and for a day' or two I would be weak am! exhausted. I tried many doctors and other remedies and had about given up hopes of being any l>etter. but thought I would give Lytliu E. JE>ink.iiutsi's Vege table Compound a trial. I have taken six bottles and am so much better I can hardly believe I am the same person. My sister is also much pleased with your medicine.’ Mabel E. Wilson, Attica, lnd. (Oct. ISt, liHJO.)

London, Feb. 28.—In response to an inquiry hy the government as to the fate of an escort of a convoy of empty wagons (which Lord Kitchener cabled was attacked and captured by the Boers southwest of Klocksdorf, the Transvaal colony, on Feb. 24), Lord Kitchener has cabled the following mes sage: ‘‘A report has just been received that 16 officers and 451 men w-ere taken prisoners. Of these one officer and 105 men have been released. Col. Ander son of the Imperial Yeomanry, who commanded, is still a prisoner. Major Enderby, who commanded the infanrty, was wounded. Hence the delay in ob taining definite information.” Lord Kitchener says nothing in his response about the two gt^ns that the Boers captured with the convoy, and Mr. Brodrick, secretary of war, an nounced in the House, today, that the government hail no further information beyond that contained in Lord Kitch ener’s dispatch. The censorship in South Africa has been excessively strict for some time past and consequently dispatches have suffered serious delay. A dispatch re ceived. tonight, from Harrismith shows that Gen. DeWet and Mr. Steyn were both within the net described by Lord Kitchener (in his dispatch from Harri smith concerning the killing or captur ing of (i Boers during the last two days) but escaped before the line was completed. Tonight's dispatch from Harrismoth says also that Col. Rawlinson scored the biggest success of the drive. He succeeded in completely surrounding a laager of 400 Boers and gave them one hour in which to decide whether they would surrender or fight. The Boers finding escape impossible, surrendered at discretion and not a shot was fired. NARROW ESCAPE Of the Princess of Wales from Injury by Runaway Horse. New York.

He made a dash for an exit through which the prince and princess, with otnor members of the royal party, were just about to pass. They appeared totally unaware of the danger until the shouts of warning from all parts of the building attarcted their attention. Then the princess, who was nearest the animal, realized her danger and stopped short. The stallion rushed by her royal highness, missing her by a foot or two only. It was only by the skill of the groom, who managed to pull the animal to one side as It dashed past the royal party, that a very serious and deplorable ac cident was averted. Arouse Your Liver.

Decision of Court Is Against Boston Teamsters Strikers. Boston, Feb. 28.—Judge Braley of the superior court rendered his decision, this afternoon, upon the petition of the R. S. Brine Transportation C’o. for an injunction restraining Team Drivers International Union, No. 25, its officers and Oscar F. Cox, president of the In ternational Allied Freight and Trans portation Council, from interfering in any manner with its business. Several week ago Judge Braley granted a tem porary injunction apd the decision, to day, continues in force the restraining order against the local union, but dis solves it so far as Mr. Cox is concerned. Judge Braley finds that the "patrol ing” of the Brine Co’s, teams, the mak ing or inciting of attacks upon its driv ers. the cutting of harness and blocking of teams is unlawful intimidation, and, besides interfering with the plaintiff’s business, becomes a private nuisance which the court enjoins. The right of combinations of men to regulate their own conduct is recog nized. as well as the right to solicit cus tomers of the plaintiff not under con tract to transfer their business to oth ers: but the defendants are found to have gone beyond their rights and to have injured the plaintiff by illegal means. In making his decision Judge Braley savs: "It was claimed by the union, that while it conceded that acts of vio lence of the nature and description herein set forth had taken place, that none of Its members had participated therein, and that they were caused solely by third paroles, but the evidence shows that upon such occasions there were In the crowd of people gathered In streets where said drivers were as saulted and said teams ‘blocked’ and said harnessea cut, persons wearing a certain badge, which badge bore the In scription, ‘Team Drivers International Union Label, A. These cast, toget&gr with the solicit ing of certain customers of plaintiff by President Hartnett and Agent Miller of the Teamsters Uhfon, the Judge says “were Intended to cause and did cause damage to the plaintiff and appreciably affected his business. No evidence was introduced tending to show that the re spondent t’ox participated in any way in said combination." WILL MAKE ENEMIES. Japanese Editor Sunisto Is Opposed to Anglo-Japanese Treaty. Victoria. B. C\, Feb. 28.—K. Sunisto, managing editor of the Japanese Times of Tokio, was a passenger on the steam ship Shinano, which arrived, Tuursday night. In an interview he said that the Anglo-Japanese treaty would certainly make enemies for Japan, as Great Brit ain was none too popular in the Far Fast, but the treaty would be worth the price. Mr. Sunisto says he thinks England made a mistake in giving up Wei Hal Wei, for it leaves them with out a port at the entrance to the north ern sea, such as both Germany and Rus sia possesses. All tall: of Russia seizing a port in Korea has ceased. Japan is taking quiet possession of the peninsula, building railways and telegraph lines and colo nizing the country, while Russia is los ing prestige with the Koreans. As to China, Mr. Sunisto said there was no danger of another outbreak like that of the Boxers, Viceroy Yuan Shikha being a stronger man than the late Li Hung Chang. Missionaries will he attacked, pirates and brigands will ply their trades, and there will be riots, but there will not be another organized outbreak Mr. Sunisto said that the Japanese government was doing its best to dis cour-age immigration to Canada and America. He said trade between the countries whs increasing rapidly as shown by the improved steamship ser vice. CLOSE TO THE ROCKS. Unknown Steamer in Danger Last Night, at Thatcher’s Island.

Ottawa Feb. 28.—A vwy important announcement is made which is calcu lated to revolutionize the paper trade in Canada. The organization of the Atlantic Pulp anil Paper Co., which has been going on for some months, has been completed. The capital is $3,000, 000. The board of directors has been completed and consists of the follow ing: W. C. Kdwards, M. P„ president; Chas. H. Waterous, Bradford, president of the Waterous Engine Works; J. W. Ellis, Toronto; A. J. Erkhardt, Toronto; K. H. Thompson, Buffalo; Mr. Lyman, of the wholesale drug firm of Lyman A Co., Montreal, and Mr. Wardrope of Montreal, lumberman, directors. The purposes of the company are to acquire the limits, water power, saw in the county of Bonaventure, Que., and to erect mills for the manufacture of mills, etc., of the new New Richmond, on the north side of the Bay of Chalew, pulp and paper. The property contains more than 10 square miles of almost virgin forest, principally spruce, but containing considerable quantities of other woods. It is estimated that the supply of plup wod on the hunts Is suf flcent to give the mills raw material for a period of more than 60 years. There Is an enormous water power and there are good shipping facilities both by rail and water. The company proposes to furnish a plant with a ca pacity of turning out more than 20,000 tons of newspaper print a year which they will be able to sell at the rate of a little more than $1.80 per 100 pounds. The present price of newspapers print is about $2.f.O per 100 pounds which would mean a saving to the newspaper establishments of Canada of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. The company believe they can not only do this but do It at a profit. One reason Is that raw material, which costs some of the present mills from $6 a cord up wards, can be laid down at the mill of the new company at $2.2G a cord and this, with the low price of labor and oth*»r favorable circumstances, will make It profitable to manufacture pa per at this price. In addition, the company will manufacture mechanical plup and sulphite plup. DID GALLANT SERVICE. 22d U. S. Infantry Officers and Men Safely at Home. San Francisco, Feb. 2R.—Among the troops which arrived on the transport Hancock from Manila, were Capts. Qeo. Detchemendy, Lieut. Parker Hitt and 34 enlisted men of Co. H, 22d Infantry, from Halo, Luzon, the most remote sta tion in the Philippines. It was this company of soldiers who after many hardships, ran down the Filipinos carrying messages from Agul naldo. Together with Lieut. James D. Taylor. 24th Infantry, they discovered Agninaldo's hiding place, at Palanan, furnishing the necessary information which was used by Oen. Funston in the capture of Agulnaldo. After the capture of Agulnaldo these officers and privates captured all of the Filipino troops who were with Agulnaldo. Capt. Detchemendy and his company were also recently highly praised by flee.

The latest episode which has caused much com ment in the press was In a New York hotel. The hinese minister nail neen intro duced to ex-Mayor l'lielan of San Francisco as gentlemen are Introduced to gentlemen. when he drew back his hand and shouted: "You are the enemy of our country. You are hostile to the Chinese. You are trying to keep the Chinaman out of the I'nited Slates." Contempt for the ordi nary rules of courtesy was then fol lowed by a most amazing disregard ol diplomatic etiquette. Replying to Mr Chian's mild protest that Chines* coolies must be kept out to protect American labor, the excited Wu lost control of himself completely and ex claimed: "Then we ll keep the Ameri cans out of China. Yes, we’ll keep you out of China. We can get along with out you. What have you got that w« must have?” For emphasis the minis ter shook his fist in the ex-mayor's face ami later he boasted of the exhibition which in any other land would bring his diplomatic career to a sudden termination.

A Hugo revival is now in order in Franco, arid, in a lesAer 'degree, all over the world. The 100th anniversary of the birth of the great writer has been celebrated -is Paris this week, on a most elaborate scale. The whole affair was a remarkable tribute to literary eminence and exceedingly creditable to France. It is very seldom that posthumous literary honors of a na tional character are paid to literary celebrities. Usually only the great sol-, dier or statesman gains and keeps an exalted place as a national hero. The remarkable hold of Victor Hugo upon France has been well exemplified, and the demonstration has revealed an in teresting phase of the French charac ter which other nationalities should emulate. Hugo's fame is secure. Whatever the future of France or the future of civilization, his name will not be lost. All the world has some thing in common with France in the «erie9 of festivities which have filled the week. All France united in the unique cele bration though, of course, the chief features were at Paris. There was an oration and an address at the Pan theon, where the poet's remains are buried; great choirs sang selections from his poetry, and actors and ac fresses of the Comedie Francaise re oite.1 line* from his plays. Thou sands of school children carried palm branches and bouquets to place at the right and left of the poet's bust, at the house where he died, in the street since named for him. Then the great bronze monument erected to his memory in the Place Vittor Hugo—the work of M. Barrias. who has spent seven years upon it—was unveiled in the presence of all the chief dignitaries of the na tioo, and delegates from foreign coun tries. It shows the great writer, a fig ure of heroic size, in a characteristic attitude of contemplation; and bronze plates set into the pedestal display in bas-relief some of the chief scenes created by his dramatic imagination. In the evening there was a revival at the Theatre Francaise of Hugo’s play “Lea Burgraves," which was rather a gloomy failure when first presented 59 yeats ago. Also there was a great ban quet. processions, receptions, illumina tions and every form of popular demonstration and festivity; and tens of thousands of commemorative med als. struck by the French mint for the occasion, will serve as permanent souvenirs. We spoke, the other day, of Moses Owen's immortal poem “The Maine Battle Flags" which appeared in the Hartford t'ourant a year or so ago, over the name of Francis Gallagher. Since then the verses have appeared in various publications, credited to this unknown and nervy plagiarist. In re ga>d to the matter the Courant says editorially: "As soon as the imposition was detected, it was exposed in this journal and the man Gallagher was written to for an explanation. His re ply, if sent, was lost in the mail.' The t’ourant was informed at the time that he had a habit of working off these V“rses on the press. Apparently ex posure does not trouble him.” It would seem that a liana is no lon ger in control of the New York Sun. The name of William M. Laffan now' appears at the head of the editorial page. Mr. Laffan as long been con nected with this great newspaper, and the appearance of his name is taken as an indication that the control of the paper has passed to him from Paul liana, son of the late Charles A Dana.

A Belfast lady has a dog that ac companies her on her shopping trips, and one damp day recently picked up her dress as she was on a muddy crossing and held it up until she was again on a dry walk. Anyway, this is the story solemnly vouched for by the truthful Belfast Journal. A short time ago there was pub lished in the Boston Transcript an ar ticle dealing very breezily with life in a certain Maine city which although paraded under the name of Cumnor was very obviously Rockland. The Journal published it in full, last Satur day. The Rre-kland Star announced the other day that it should also re print the article but later announced that it should drop the matter without further reference as some persons felt aggrieved by statements in the story. It is possible that the aggrieved party may have been the lady referred to as the local Mrs. Malaprop, of whom it was said that she went to much pains in equipping her guest chamber with a gold mounted tooth brush, and refused an invitation to a collation on the ground that she had already "collided'' with her husband at home.

Basket making at Pleasant Point, the Indian village near Eastport, is a rushing business, this winter. All the tribe, of both sexes and all ages, are busy making baskets to ship away or to retail at the resorts, next summer. Many car loads of ash wood are being received at the village. The industry is a growing one and of great value to the village, inasmuch as it provides labor for those willing to work; and there are few indeed of the numerous inhabitants who do not engage in it. “Do you know that this -idea that a large proportion of the cases of insani ty that occur are brought about by business troubles, is an entirely er roneous one?” remarked one of the trustees of the state insane hospital to a reporter. “Of course there are some cases and probably quite a few that are occasioned by the uncertainty of a livelihood and worry over the mat ter of providing for a family but real ly a very small proportion of business men is to be found among the unfor tunates in our insane asylums. As a matter of fact, by far the larger num ber committed are laborers and farm ers. Another thing that might be noted Is that the number of male in mates-always far exceeds the number of female.

Frank Burton of Wert Seboii, will not kill any more cow moose for three months to come, as, according to the sentence in flicted upon him in the Bangor municipal court. Thursday afternoon, he will pass that peiiod of time in durance vile in the county jail.. The charge against Burton was that, shortly prior to Oct. 5 last, he killed a I cow moose near West Sebois. The case was conducted on the part of the State by Chairman Carleton of the fish and game commission, while the defendant was represented by John F. Kobinson, Ksq The hearing was a short one, the prose cution putting on four witnesses who gave some damaging evidence against the accused, the most incriminating being remarks which witnesses claimed were made to them by the respondent. Bur ton was in a very talkative mood and wished to hold the floor about all the time even during the argument of the counsel. At the conclusion of the hear ing each attorney addressed the court briefly on the matter of sentence and Judge Bailey finally made it three months although he had at first contemplated a little more severe sentence. The lirst witness for the States was Warden Pollard of Foxcroft. who mad-, the arrest. The witness stated that early ■in October he had received information that a cow moose had been killed near West Sebois. He went there and after an extended search he found the remains of a moose. These consisted of a portion of the ribs and the head. The witness was certain from the head that the ani mal was a female. He had had a wide experience in hunting and thought he was qualified to judge. Pollard heard that Burton, the respondent, had made the talk that he had killed a cow moose and so he took him into custody and brought him to Bangor. Witness stated that on the way to this city in the train the respondent had threatened to kill anyone who testified against him. Fred Ingalls, the next witness, made a most excellent appearance on the stand. He stated that during the latter part of September he took dinner with Burton at the house of Jimmy O'Neil, where Bur ton lived. The chief article of food tast ed like moose meat to the witness, who so remarked to the respondent, who told him that it was moose meat and that he had killed a cow moose by error. Witness stated that the respondent thgn tided to sell him the skin and he told ©urton that perhaps Arthur Knowles would purchase it. Ora Ross, who was present at the din ner above mentioned, testified to eating the moose meat. Arthur Knowles, the next witness, said that he is the proprie tor of a sporting camp and acflualqled with the respondent, laitter came to his place and endeavored to sell him a hide, mentioning to the witness that it would tie just as well If he did not show the hide up very prominently, or words to inai eneci. There were no witnesses for the de fence save the respondent, who made a wholesale denial of the charges against him. He denied the truth of the testi mony of Ingalls, of Pollard and of Knowles. He stated that never In his life had he killed a moose and that he did not try to sell Ingalls or Knowles a moose hide. Witness, while denying that he had threatened to kill anyone wh«> might testify against him. said that he had remarked that they had better look out. Commissioner Carleton asked him to explain what he nSoant by such a state ment. and the witness then stated that he meant that he should follow them and when he found them killing game Illegal ly he should take care that they had to pay the penalty, which sentiment Mr. Carleton endorsed as a very laudable one. —Bangor Commercial.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE. One Very Common Cause, Generally Over-Looked. Ileadeache I* ft symptom, an indica tion of derangement or disease In some oigan, and the cause of the headache is difficult to locate because so many diseases have headache as a prominent symptom; derangement of the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease, lung trouble, eye strain or ill fitting glasses, all produce headaches, and if \re could always locate the organ which is at fault the cure of obstinate headaches would be a much simpler matter. However, for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of 3he eyes and in forehead, the cause is now knpwn ip foe catturli of the 'head and throat: when tin* headache is lo cated in back of head and neck 5t 1s often caused from catarrh of the stom ach or liver. At any rate catarrh is the most com mon cause of such headaches and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt disappearance of the headaches. There is at present no treatment for catarrh so convenient and effective as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new inter nal remedy in tablet form, composed of antiseptics like eucalyptol, guaiacol and blood root which act upon the blood and cause the elimination of the atarrhal poison from the system through the (natural channels. Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school teacher i* one of our normal schools, speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She says: "I suffered daily from severe frrfntal headache and pain in and back of fl»e eyes, at times so intensely as to incapacitate me in my daily duties. I had suffered from catarrh, more or leijs for years, but never thought it was the cause of my headaches, but finally became con vinced that such 'life* the case because the headaches were always worse •u henever I had a cold- or fresh attack of catarrh. "Htuart's Catarrh Tablets were high* ly recommended to me as a safe^and pleasant catarrh cure, and after using a few lifty-eent boxes which I pro cured from my druggist 1 was sur prised and delighted to find that both the catarrh and headaches had gone for good." Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at fifty cents per package, under the guarantee of the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine (found in so many catarrh cures), no opium (so common in cheap cough cures), nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antisep tics necessary to destroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal disease.

AND COUNCIL. Ralph A. Douglass Pardoned from Auburn Jail. State to Investigate Affairs at Malago Island, Casco Bay, Others Matters of Interest at the State Capitol. The regular monthly meeting of the Governor and Council was held, yester day. Considerable routine business was transacted and adjournment was had until this morning at 8.30 o'clock, when M->.i. Albert M. Spear will be confirmed as associate justice of the supreme court. Mr. Spear was present during the afternoon, having come up from Gardiner to look after the pardon case of Edward A. Chase, for whom he is counsel, which has been hanging for some time. The matter has again been put over, on account of the absence of Councillor Prescott of the First district. The question of pardoning ltalph A. Douglass of Hiram, who is serving a lb months’ sentence in Auburn jail for assault, was taken up. The applicant an-J his family alleged that they were too poor to appear by counsel and re nt* ested lion. Byron Boyd, secretary of State, to read the papers in the case to the Governor and Council. Mr. Boyd did so. These papers consisted of a pe tition signed by !»3 citizens of the com munity, letters from the party upon whom the assault was committed, the selectmen and otherofficers of the town, the prisoner himself and his wife. I* seems that on the 17th day of Au gust. 1901, Douglass, while intoxicated, got into a dispute with Charles B. Da vis of Hiram, over 5 cents, which Davis claimed Douglass owed him. During tl.e controversy, Davis called Douglass a liar and the latter hit him once in the face; with his fist. Douglass was in dicted at the October term of court, pleaded guilty and Judge Savage sen tenced him to 10 months in Auburn jail. He had no counsel. He has served a little more than four months. His friends claim that the sentence was ex cessive and that, therefore, he should be pardoned. County Attorney E. C. Park of Bethel, appeared in opposition to the granting of the pardon, contending that the pun ishment was not given him for the Davis assault, small in itself, but be- cause of his bad record in the past. It was black, said the attorney. "The people who now petition for his pardon," said Mr. Park, “were the very ones who insisted, last fall, that he should lie severely punished." Tn executive session the Council vot ed in favor of a pardon. Councillor Mayo addressed the Coun n the island for some time, but that none of the towns in that section would assume the support of the in habitants of Malago. Dr. Doughty thought the State should take some steps to assist the people there who wore suffering with disease and from a lack of food. Harpswell. Yarmouth and Phippsburg deny liability for their support, the former claiming that the courts have decided that the island is i part of Cumberland county. The story as related by Dr. Doughty was a pitiful one, and it was supple mented by an abstract from the Port land Press, which Councillor Mayo read. The article from the Portland pa per was published, yesterday morning, and is as follows: "The crew of the steamer Percy V. which arrived, Thursday, from Cundy's Harbor, reports that the half-breeds on Malaga island, in the eastern portion of the bay. are all sick with the measles and that some of them were starving. The measles have been epidemic on the island for more than three weeks, ,1 hough no news of the matter was had "n the other islands until the first of this week, when the captain of a lobster smack reported the sickness at Cundy’s Harbor. The captain of the smack said that nearly every man, woman and child on I he island was sick and help h-ss. Being unable to do any fishing many of them were starving. "The captain of the smack asked that a physician be sent to the islands, as the 60 half-breeds had been without medicine or attendance since the dis ease drst made its appearance. He thought'at tlrst that there was small l«>x on the island, hut as the island is in the town of Phippsburg and measles is raging there he thought that it was probably nothing more serious. 'die found no food in any of the huts he entered though few of the inmates were able to eat even if there had been an abundance. He calls at the island about once a month to buy the few lob sters caught. When he anchored oft the island the first of the week he saw mo signs of life and he wontiered at it for it was customary for the natives to •row off to his smack with their lobsters. He was about to raise his anchor and proceed, but changed his mind anil went ashore in his dory. lie met no one until opening the door of the first house near the beach. In a corner of the room huddled together on a pile of old clothes and straw he saw two wo men. a man and four children. All «cre very sick and delirious. They called for water, and as there was r.one in the house the eoptain of the smack went to the spring for it. The room was filthy and squalid and there was no fire. The only furniture was a table, a chair and three kegs evidently used for chairs. There was no stove only a fire place in the middle of the dirty floor and by the appearance of the charred emln-rs the- had been no fire for sev eral days. There was not a scrap of food in the house. One of the women toM him that they had not eaten for three days and that every one on the Island was sick and starving. He visit ed several huts and found about the same conditions. Returning to the smack he sent all of his small stock of provisions ashore and then sailed to Oundy's Harbor where he notified the fishermen there of the conditions on Malago. “Wednesday two fishermen from Sunday’s harbor carried over a wash boiler of soup which had been made by Colds You first take cold, then you cough. Then you have a doctor. He says it’s bron chitis, and he orders Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. It is h$s favorite prescription forcoltjjs and coughs. If he knows qf anything better, tell him do give it to you. I had a very severe cough for many weeks. Nothing relieved me until I tried Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. This rapidly and entirely cured me.” J. J. Hargrave, New York City., Hc.Mc-.tlM. J. C. AYER CO.. Lowell. MaU. the kind hearted fishermen. On theii return one of the fishermen, a youns inan named Lemuel Davis, said that i he conditions wrce even worse then deplicted by the captain of the lobstei smack. They carried the soup fron hut to hut until all who were able hue eaten. They found one old man wht said that he had not eaten in five days and another who had been madt speechless by the mumps. In anothei but were found four women huddled to :gether In a corner for warmth. All ha<] the measles and were powerless to hell themselves. They had received little or no care since being sick. The flrsi thing asked for by one woman was to bacco. She said that she had been dy ing for a smoke. "But little sympathy Is felt for the Malago half breeds by the other fisher men in the bay. They have boats and could could make a good living by fish ing. but they do nothing but loaf aroun-l the island and allow the women to dig a few clams. In the summer they bask in the sun and feed on the berries that grow so thickly over the island. They catch a few lobsters which they sell to the smacks and with the money thus obtained buy a little flout and whiskey. Nearly every winter the town is obliged to help them and will undoubtedly do so this winter when they iearn of the conditions. Their houses are but huts many of them shacks, with dirty floors and pnly one room. All of the inhabitants are half breeds.” After Mr. May hail finished reading the above he stated that something should be done toward fixing the re sponsibility fot supporting these poor people. A general discussion was had. It was found that there are some 75 people on the island, that they are part white and negro, and that they were suffering fu.m an epidemic of measles. Governor Hill suggested that Mr. Mayo, as chair man of the committee on the support of State paupers, should visit the island and ascertain the real condition of af fairs there. Councillor Mayo and Councillor Cook will attend to the matter at once. Hon. Geo. H. Hunt of Old Town, agent of the Penobscot tribe of Indians, was authorized to sell the shore rights at public auction on April 7, and he was alio authorized to lease the east shores of Islands 134 and 135 in the Penobscot river to the Penobscot Lumbering Co. of Winn, for a term of five years at $23 a year. Warrants were ordered drawn in favor of the following towns from the appropriation for improvement of State roads: Appleton, $100; Dexter, $100: Etna, $100: Rangeley, $100; New' Vine yard, $100; Strong, $100; Wellington. $100. Northport. Councillor Mayo and Councillor Cook, to whom the matters had been referred, are of the opinion that the law for the improvement of State roads is applicable to repairs made in 1901, and that such repairs mude in 1902 cannot be paid for until after the first of January, 1903. The ap propriation of $15,000 made for 1902 must therefore lapse into the treasury, with the exception of the above amount of $775. The towns making repairs, this year, under this interpretation of the law, must take the chances of the Leg islature of 1903 making an appropria tion for the purpose. An order introduced by Councillor Haines was passed, instructing the land agent to give a quit claim deed of a small parcel of land in Millinoeket, said to belong to the State, to Right Rev. William H. O'Connell, bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of Portland, the same having been used as a bury ing ground. The support of William C. Haskell of Brunswick, and Wm. Arnold, alias Airhu of Gardiner. inmates of the In sane hospital, was assumed by the State. Hon. Oramandal Smith, State treas urer. by a resolution was advised to de posit all State funds In such banking institutions as would pay Interest on monthly balances. Councillor Powers presented an order, which wras passed, authorizing the Gov ernor to draw his warrant In favor of the town of Boothbay, for a balance due on the Free High school stipend due) the town, which had been withheld by! a ruling of the State superintendent of 1 schools. A letter was read from J. A. I Tuttle, superintendent of schools in the town, stating that only the sum of $23(1 j had been received for two half-yearly allowances? whereas the full sum of j $250 should have been allowed. The Governor thought there was no, reason why payment should be with- i held from the town, if it had complied with the law as to the amount of money raised for the purpose. I It was shown that Mr. Tuttle had njirte semi-annual returns of money appropriated and, expended: that dur ing one part of the year not so much would be expended as in the other, al- though the whole year's expenditures would entitle the town to the full amount of $250. The State superintend ent thought that the amounts should be separated, but the Council thought otherwise. The Council will meet at 8.30 o’clock this morning. Chairman Carleton was over to Ban- gor. Thursday, to prosecute Frank Burton of West Sebnis before the Bangor municipal court, who was charged with having Killed a cow moose sometime In October last. Bur ton was convicted and sentenced to three months in jail. Hon. F. O. Beal of Bangor, a member (Continued on page S.) WARD CAUCUSES. Remaining Nomination* Made by the Republican*. Friday.

Like a terrible cyclone grip bacillus has passed over our coun try, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, leaving behind it a dark cloud of an guish and despair. Catarrh follows grip as effect follows cause. A multitude of catarrh victims will ■pring up In the trail of the awful epi demic of grip that has just passed over our fair country. The hope to these people is Peruna. Most people know this already. Everyone who has had the least touch •f grip, should not fail to take a course of treatment with Peruna. Peruna eradicates every vestige of the disease and leaves the system in a nor mal condition. Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman from Illinois, writes from the National Hotel, Washington, D. C., as follows: After giving Peruna a fair trial I can cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone suffering with coughs, colds, la gTippe and all catarrhal complaints.”— J. B. Crowley. Hon. George H. White, Congressman from North Carolina, writes: I am more than satisfied with Pern na, and find it to be an excellent remedy for the grip and catarrh. I have used it In my family, and they all join me in recommending it as an excellent rem edy.”—George H. White. Hon. J. P. Megrew, Superintendent U. 8. Capital Police Force, of Washington,<{ D. C., says: Having suffered from the grip,.I was advised by a friend to use your Peruna. I also used it for ray catarrh, and I can now cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone who is suffering from the grip and catarrh.”—J. P. Megrew. Miss Anna Russell, Past Worthy Coun selor, Loyd Mystic Legion, 29.1 Kndicott Building, St. Paul, Minn., writes: For years I have unfortunately found my system in a peculiarly receptive con dition for catarrh when I was exposed in any way to inclement weather. At those times I would be severely afflicted with la grippe and its unpleasant con sequences. Now for the past year and a half I have used Peruna in such cases and have found that it not only cures me quickly, but it also cleanses my blood and ren ders me less liable to catch cold. It is the finest preventative of colds that I know of and a very superior tonic.”— Anna Russell. Miss Emily Milburne, President of the Westside Young 'Woman’s Club, No. Ij2 West Congress street, Chicago, 111., writes of several members of the club of which she is president, who have had the Grip and have been quickly restored to health by Peruna. Mr. Nicolas F. Rossiter, of 4G3 Nor wood avenue, Cleveland, O., had a severt attack of the Grip, was very sick and under the physician’s care. He, like many others, passed the acute stage but did not receive strength. Peruna not only qdickly restored him to his former health, but to much better health than he has had for years. He gives Peruna all the praise. Hon. Max?. Porges, Alderman of the j Eighth District, residing at 16 Riving ton i street, New York,suffered with the Grip, two bottles of Peruna eured him. Eft also writes that he knows a large num ber of people who have been cured of the Grip by Peruna. Hon. Charles YV. Culkin, Alderman of tho Seventh Assembly District of the Borough of Manhattan, residing at 45 Eighth avenue, New York, writes that he was laid up several days with the Grip. On the fifth day he was advised to try Peruna. He did so and found him self better within twenty-four hours. This remedy soon restored him to his usual vigorous health. Mr. Martin Edwards, President of the County Claro Men’s Benefit Society, 538 Y\rest Forty-Ninth street, New York, writes that he was cured of the Grip by a short course of treatment with Peruna. Miss Blanche Dumont, President of the Athenia Club, 4110 Aldrich avenue North, Camden Place, Minneapolis, Minn., says she was enred of tho Grip. Nothing helped her until she tried Pe runa. Felt better next day after begin ning'its use. Was able to bo out of bed tho third day. She also tella of others who wore cured by Peruna. La Orippe is epidemic catarrh. Pe runa cures catarrh, hence Peruna is a specific for la grippe. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give yon his valuable ad vice gratis.

He gave Uiem to one brood hen to care for and when live Weeks old had lost but one. which was drowned In a pall. During the season I have hatched 751 chicks and ducks. My confidence In tho Cyphers ability to hatch every good egg Is so great that I have ceased to keep a record of averages. I get the best eggs X can and the machines do. the rest. It Is very little work to run them. Yours truly, FRANK A. BISHOP. FOR SALE BY BROOKS HARDWARE CO., Augusta. feb21,—.2672S,m arl&3 l

GOV. AND COUNCIL. (Continued from page i.) «>f the present legislature, was at the Capitol, yesterday. As a member and House chairman of the finance commit tee at the last session he advocated and auported the resolve appropriating $15, 000 for preserving the records In the of fice of the secretary of State, and while here expressed .himself as pleased with the improvements which have been made. "From the appearance of the office,” said Mr. Beal, ?I should Judge that the money was well and wisely expended. Every arrangement seems to be com plete. The filing cases are the best I have et'er seen. I am very glad the Legislature appropriated the money to pay fee the alterations. Before they were made the department was wholly inadequate to preserve and properly file the valuable documents which are by law placed in the custody of the secre tary of State.” An interesting discussion was started at the Capitol, yesterday, over the re spective ages of Hon. Thomas B. Reed and Hon. Horace H. Burbank of Saco. F. M. Bickford of Boston, contended that Judge Burbank was more than a yea.- older than Mr. Heed. Charles E. Atwood thought differently. After look ing up the record it was found that Judge Burbank was born, October 27, 3837, and Mr. Feed first saw the iighOof day on October 18, 1839. Therefor* the Judge will be 6a years old in October while the ex-Speaker will be 63 during the same month. George K. Campbell of Machias. sec «>nd lieutenant Co. M, 2d Regiment, N S. Q. M., has resigned his position, on account of leaving the State. Th for the agreed wages per day. When a laborer hires to work as one of the crew of a pulp mill which to his knowledge i; run through the 24 hours, with one day crew and one night crew, alternating ach week, and lie works in such crew more Ilian In hours each day, and receives weekly his tier diem pay as agreed without claiming more, it can be reasonably inferred that he agreed to work more than 10 hours a day, and he cannot afterward re cover pay for the extra hours. Judgment for the defendant. Clerk Sweet also received on Friday a rescript drawn liy justice Emery in a Knox county case, that of Edmund Thomas, executor, vs. Mary E. Thomas. The rescript is its follows: When the defendant is a non-resi dent, and only eomniorant In some town in this State, and so described in the writ, a return l>y the officer that he "attached a chip as tne property of the defendant, and summoned the said defendant by leaving at her last and usual place of abode a summons for her appearance at court,” does not show sufficient legal service. Exceptions overruled. Owing to a strike of gas workers at Turin the pnncip.il streets of the town are now illuminated by oil lamps. The supply of gas to private houses has be n suspended. But little notice was taken in Holland of the anniversary of tjueen W ilhelmlna s wedding, and no reference to it whatever appeared in the leading Dutch papers. MARRIED. KENNEBEC.

Several from this city are intending to go to Bangor, on the evening of Anri I 3 or t to take in the performance of Barnett and Hamlin's opera. "Nicolette,” in which David Owen, resident, manager of the Augusta Opera House will appear. James J. Maher returned, Friday, from Boston, where he has been, during the past week, in attendance upon the convention of the American Benefit Society. Mr. Maher, who re ports the organization to be in a thriv ing condition, was elected chairman of the board of direc tors for a term of three years. A fir* in a chimney in the residence of Ami Cassavant on Sand Hill, caused considerable excitement in that vicin ity, last evening. Officer Chase, who was passing: with his. team, drove to the Cushnoe Hose house and secured two fire extinguishers with which the blage was put out. But little damage was done. And now another dog of almost hu man intellect appears. W. S. Ladd of this city claims to own one that car ries off the palm. The canine Is a fox terrier named "Duke" and has now ar rived at ihe respectable age of 12 years. During this time he has learned much—In fact a* much as some mem bers of the human family. Mr. Ladd was formerly a carpenter and this dog of bis used to climb around over buildings In a manner that would make some of the dizzy-headed quake with fear. A 4-story building had great barms for him and he especially en joyed climbing the ladder and sitting around o.i the staging where he could watch the workmen. Now at his age he nas abandoned this but has taken hi. coasting as if he had entered nnon hM second childhood. He will hop upon a sled and coast down the steepest of hills, sometimes keeping his footing, often ^tting thrown into the ditch but always ready to get up and try it over again. Another pastime he has is carrying proof from his master’s print ing office to his residence at ?3 Court street for Mrg. Ladd to lead. Lung Kuro never fails to relievo Asthma.

The number of tramps sentenced to ji4.il in the Stilt-* daring the year 11*01, was not -ii large an in former years. Tne* u; time, it number of years a -i. at t>111 k of the prison er n the .iails in the larger Maine counties weie weary wanderers. Hut of late, tli>‘ number lias decreased to a very large extent, fifteen years ago Kenheber fail lias been known to domicile more than 1**0 tramps at one time; lint during the past year there Were only -pi in all contined at the jail. While. according In the official tig ures, tills statement appears to lie au thentic it is not tin llint the tramps a e wholly disappeai itlg. There are slill tramps left, but they are often committed under a different classitiea tion. Many are sent to i dl for drunk enness. nowadays, instead of for ordi nary tramping. According to the figures as published I’ tile inspectors of prisons and jails tae county jails took care of 11*0 r imps dinin',■ the year ending Nov i nber "n, I'.ml. York county had the largest number, tail. Androscoggin coming next with a 1 Cumberland li d r. t and Li is ol n 52. Kennebec had -li> and Penobscot came next with IS.

During the year 17 prisoners made their escape of whom 15 were re captured. Waldo and Penobscot had four escapes apiece, while York and Cumberland had two each. Hancock and Washington had one escape eacli and up to the closing of the year's re port neither was re-taken. The whole number of prisoners con fined in the county jails for the year was 5,271). of whom 5.012 w ere men and 258 women. Only 157 of this total are returned as of foreign birth. Singu larly enough, Androscoggin, with all its foreign population, does not return me of its 1,008 convicts as of foreign >irth, while Cumberland so classes noo if its 1.634 convicts. Oxford returns 133 of its 145 convicts us of foreign birth. Knox had IS Piscataquis four ind Hancock two.

Seventy-three were sentenced to State prison, four were pardoned and one ilied. In I'ranklin. Lincoln and Somerset, the prisoners do not wear distinctive regulation prison soils. In Androscog gin, Cumberland, Penobscot, and York the prisoners are leased. In Andro scoggin, Cumberland. Penobscot, Waldo and York, the prisoners are made to labor. Chase £r Sanborns TEA A KNOTTY PROBLEM. Propounded by a Member of Augusta Board of Education. A member of the school committee was visiting one of our suburban schools the other (lay ami hail a class in arithmetic in the floor. He wrote upon tlie blackboard tor the(|ilss niis ques tion? "How much great* r than three fourths is four-fourths?" The class was uncertain about it and we jqibmit the question to «,ur readers. Simple enough of course, and you can answer it instantly. Hut before we state what tin* committee member said wus the correct answer, we will say that this little question has puzzled others before. ColOnb] Gilmore, a learned ofttcer of the United States Army, decided that IVAw-fourths was one fourth greater than three-fourths. Hut Superintendent iVebb of the Philadelphia (hearing House answered at once—"Why, tour-fourths is one thiid greater*than three-fourths.” And this is the way he proves it. Four-fourths is url hs plus one-fourth equals four fourths: a plus a quals 4 a; a divid ed hy 3 a equals on.•-third. Hut now M. S. Ryan of San Antonio, T vis, says that is all wrong for: “Three-fourths of foursfourths is one and one-third,, therefore if three fourths of four-fourths is one »aud one-third, then one-fourth of three fourths is one-third of three-fourths whlrh is one-fourth.” “Figuring on I this basis.” says Mr. Ryan, “I would say four-fourths is one-fourth greater than three-fourths.”' What do you say?

MAHERS OF LOCAL INTEREST j THE CANVASSER

nteresting Confessions by One Who Has Reformed. low Students are Inveigled Into This Kind of Work. ’’rickc cf the Trade Exposed for _tne fit of the Public. When a man taken pains to tell you hat he conducts a perfectly legitimate jusiness, feel for your watch. You nay l»c sure at least that he wants to nveiglo you into something dlshonor ilde, something that U would take you talf a lifetime to live down. Such a nan is most usually a general agent, i hirer of canvassers, who'fattens him self upon their gains. Fear hint, there fore, who having got your soul into his dutches is able to take your pocket book also, writes Bartlett Brooks in the Boston Transcript. Iii the a "line of influence.” A line of influence consists in a list uf people to whom you have sold or who have given you letters of introduc tion. personal cards, recommendations, and names of easy victims. The local clergy are the first persons to approach and the surest way into their hearts is either a plea of honest poverty or a proposal to give them the desired ar ticle at half-price, being of course, the j regular discount to the cloth. By working up a good line of influence you i can know the name of the person on whom you are about to call and can al so find out a good deal about his ir- 1 cumsianees, disposition, business and gullibility. Hut suppose you are stopped at the door with a gentle y t firm rebuff and fail, after trying three or four timer, to ge* the interview d desire the salvation of your children. You cannot see them drifting away and leave a sirfgle stone unturned in your fforts to save them.

It set ms to me that when a man is selling supposedly religious books. a| exorbitant priees. to some poor old woman for th salvation of t.» r rhiblren. that man has takt a the ultimate, the iinal, plunge of The canvasser, ordinarily, is an eco nomic parasite. lie has no va'i l exeus* for existence. 11 is not conducting l»ii: •■in css that is, in an economic sen:*, legitimate; and h** knows it.

If he is not devoid of humanity a ad conscience he will let the poor customers off. many a time, and thus save his soul from th" devil, at the cost of playing the deuce with his business. Tie* delivery *o' the article, after it in stoli 1. is indeed the test of success in th* canvassing business. The enthusia on which the age lit aroused grows cold. Hi* victim sees that in* was over-urged and wishes that Hie canvasser might be railed back-la-fore delivery lime. And when th-* time comes he may try to beg off |»r to get more time or to escape the whole tiling by simple obstinacy. The agent, to 1 sure, lias a good legal claim, and as a last resort he may threaten to take le gal measures, but the victim is apt to s* that there is small danger, of that. New Knglan h rs being conscientious, though they may bluster a good d* at. w ill usu illy come up to their obligation and pay the bill. But if they refuse’ to t ike and pay, the agent is practically helpless. Rathe;* than bother with the law he will try to compromise by reducing the juice, and. rather than have a crateful of cheap, but costly, merchandise left on his hands, h will often sell at a figure that cuts off entirely his forty per cent. The ifgent. especially the young agent, is thus pretty completely at the custom er’s mercy although, luckily for him, the customer seldom realizes his power. Moreover, he finds out. early in his ca reer. that he is thoroughly at the mercy of his employers. They’ assign him at first to territory that lias already been canvassed once or twice. Or else they put him in some little country town to squeeze a 1 unwilling orders out of a hand-to-mouth population. Then, out of tin* many failures among their men the\ pick out those who have done well, in spite of hard conditions, and they semi them into fields where it will pay the company to have them work. Some com panies are fairer and more -liberal than others but the best of them will tell lies about territory and do divers other sur prising things. They are not nice in their For ail the suffering's of too patient vic tims, for all tlie squanderings of poor peo ples hard money, tin* big subscription publishing houses are primarily to blame. They induce young fellows to go into the business; they train their, in tricky meth ods: they instruct them how to plead poverty as an appeal to their customer's sympathy: they teach them to live on the public and then they squeeze them drv and throw them away. The canvassing business is usually an extravagant way o» selling the veriest trash at exorbitant prices to the people who can least afford to buy. It ought to be stopped. Rut as to stopping the can vasser. or his employer—It Is axiomatic that nothing can do it. nothing short of a great military power. I should have liked to see anyone try to stop me, when i was a canvasser. You can discourage him. however, and the only way to attack fhe company is through the canvasser. A high license fee, demanded of every man who goes into the business, would be a help, but a great deal can he accom plished towards abating the nuisance L>\ instructing the public now to turn the agent down. Tills lias been one of the purposes of this article. There is one defence that when steadily maintained will discourage any agent, no matter how frantic he may be. and that is the defence of non-resist inec. Simply say: "It is of course all very line, but don't want it. Not today." Don't argue, don't depreciate. Show no interest *hat ever. Tell him that you are not Intmesl *'d and above all that you don't want on(> today. You will be invincible. The agent, after a day or two, will either leave town or have nervous prostration.

BARBAROUS SURGICAL OPERA TION For the Cure of Piles Is not only intensely painful, danger ous to life and very expensive, but in the light of modern medical research, and since the discovery of the Pyra mid Pile Cure, wholly unnecessary. If you have any doubt on this point kindly read the following letter from one who knows that the claims regard ing the merits of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out l>y facts. Mr. Henry A. Brown, 853 Saratoga St.. Hast Boston, Mass., writes as fol lows: “I have been for a long time going to write to you about your Py ramid Pile Cure. Some years ago my wife had piles, and always had them more or less at times, although much worse after beng married; they were so troublesome that she tried everything every acquaintance told her of. One fine day I got disgusted at seeing such a collection of pile reme dies on her dressing case, and she was complaining more than usual that day too. I took her to a doctor, and after listening to her he looked very wise and saiu she would hnve to have them cut out. That night I went to a lodge meeting and saw a young doctor there, and he told me of the Pyramid Pile Cure. I got a box and my wife used them, but in the mean time she consulted a lady physician and she pooh-poohed the cure round ly. The Pile Cure aid its work better than the knife: she used two boxes and they cured her; we had part of another box but she had no use for it otherwise than to give a suppository to some friend now and then. I have employed the young doctor ever since in my house nnd have thanked him many times for his good words on the Pyramid Pile Cure. I am assistant engineer at Trinity Court, Dartmouth Bt.. Boston, and you can bank on this being genuine and from the bottom of t grateful Yankee heart, both myself ind wife, whom your medicine has laved a g-reat amount of suffering to." 25-27-1 i Sup'visor Herne.

The preservation of female beauty and its enchantments by the use of harmless cosmetics, are duties the la dies owe to themselves, and to those who value their personal charms as they appreciate their moral qualities. Unfortunately unprincipled parties too frequently take advantage of the natu ral desire to be ever young and ever fair, and palm upon the market deleterious acid and mineral poisons which impart a momentary lustre at the risk of future sallowness and ruined health. In the Oriental Cream pre j pared by Dr. T. Felix Gouraud of New York city, the ladies have a harmless preparation for preserving the delicacy of the complexion, and obliterating blemishes, which has become the fa vorite toilet article of the leading pro fessional artists, who owe so much of their popularity to their personal charms. Scarcely a star dressing room in opera or theatre throughout our I land is without the Oriental Cream.

Criminal Negligence HE DID NOT HEED THE SICNAL—A TERRIBLE, THRILLING STORY. Tieb-tick-tick-tiek-tiek-tick-tiek-tick and so the telegraph instrument clicked out its important message unheeded, An extra excursion train, bearing hundreds of happy people, flew by the faithless station agent's post, nor did he realize that this train, running out of the regular time, was near him, un w il I'* til it thundered past the door. Over come by the warmth of the day he had fallen asleep, and had entirely failed to hear the click of the keyboard, which'; ordered him to signal for the excursion train to stop. Roused to his senses and hearing the metallic sounder talking to him. he realized all too well the grave nature of his offence. All he could do was to nervously click back the words. Train has passed,” and mutely sit, staring at the instrument. The worst happened. The special, on that terrible down grade, crashed into a freight which was making all possible time, expecting to pass the extra at his siding. Around us everywhere are occurring coutinually similar tragedies. The hu man body is a more marvellous system than that of any great railway corpora tion. It is provided with its telegraph wires that are used to give signals of danger. The danger signals have been telegraphed to you again and again, but yon, like the operator, are asieep. You do not heed the danger signals* the weakness, nervousness, debility, sleeplessness, the tired feeling morn ings, the stomach, liver, or kidney troubles, until you wake with a start to the fact that already there has been too much delay. Creeping paralysis, nervous prostration, serious liver and kidney complaint, wrecked constitution or approaching1 insanity, stares you in the face, because the danger signal has been ignored, and another victim is being hastened toward an early grave.

HINTS FOR WOMEN. How to Secure a Perfect Complexion by Natural Mean*—An Easy Way to Beautify the Skin and Obtain a Good Color. It is every woman's wish to be pos sessed of a clear and beautiful skin, but how few are thus fortunate. A pale and sallow complexion is far too common and a fresh, healthy color is so uncommon as to be the cause of fa vorable remark when seen anywhere. It is a matter of fact that the condi tion of the skin is an index to the health of the body. Therefore, to im prove a bad complexion, the right way. and the only sure way, is to go back'to the cause. In almost every case it will be found that the blood is out of order and needs building up. This was the rase with Miss Grade B. King, of No. 35 Russell street, Lewiston, Me. "My color had left my face," she says, "and my health failed. I suf fered from nervousness, dizziness and loss of appetite: not enough to confine me to the bed but troublesome enough so as to interfere with my work. Of tentimes I experienced a faintness at the stomach which made me feel mis erable. During tne summer or urou a incnu who hail been troubled as I was, anil who hail bi“en helped by these iiills. recommended them to me, I began to take them at once and had not used up a box before I felt a decided change for the better In my condition. Now I do not like to be without them." The disease from which Miss King suffered was anaemia. It is charac terized by a palld complexion, pale lips, dull eyes, tongue and gums bloodless; shortness of breath on slight exertion—especially upon going upstairs; palpitation of the heart, feel ing of impending death; weakness, loss of appetite and ambition; irregularity and pain in the natural functions of women. The one remedy that has proved it self a specific for anaemia is IJr. Wil liams’ Fink Fills for Pale People. These pills, taken in increasing doses, will never fail to effect a cure if used persistently for a reasonable length of time. They are sold in boxes (never in bulk) at fifty cents a box or six boxes for two dollars anil fifty rents, and may be had of all druggists or di rect by mall from Dr. Williams Medi cine Company, Schenectady, N.

NO plaster, knife or Book HOTTEST ADEN England’s Stronghold at End of the Red Sea. A Good Place for Those Weary of Civilization. A Place Where Perspiring Whites Pant in Pajamas. All the world has agreed that Aden, situated at the eastern end of the Red sea. Is the hottest hole on the face of the earth. That is one point upon which all travelers and veracious sea faring men agree, and it may be said in passing that it is not often there is agreement among these people upon anything. What, then, would you think of the quality of nerve possessed by the able Aden editor who devotes the.leading article of his newspaper to expressions of pity for the people of America because of the climate of their country! That was the first thing to greet us as we steamed into this port, last sum mer, just one month after we left New Yolk, writes Joseph Ohl in the New York Press. The first person aboard was a turbanned youth, black, with copies of The Aden Weekly Gazette for sale. It is an Knglish paper and as we were hungry for home news—news of any kind, in fact—he did a land office business. The Gazette is, as its name indicates, a weekly publication, has twelve pages, each 12 inches by 6, and is doubtless a godsend to the Britishers who are condemned for their sins to serve the empire out here among the sands. The first article to catch my eye car ried the title, "A City of Dreadful Heat.” Naturally I expected that to carry some statistics about Aden, but the opening sentences were: “We for tunate people in Aden perhaps do not quite realize what an appalling time our poor American cousins have been having in New York. It seems an odd reversal of all that is natural for us In Aden to be contemplating the suffer ings of our fellow men under an afflic tion which should properly belong to us and not to them, but the facts fully warrant it.” Then followed a reprint from The London Daily Telegraph describing the extreme summer heat in New York and throughout the country. Since that little experience I have spent two days in Aden and in justice to my editorial brother of The Weekly Gazette X want to acknowledge that I have been much hotter in New York and Washington than I have been here. I had expected to find things unbear able, but did not. When I started for these tropical parts kind friends sounded notes of warning. "Aren’t you taking big chances with the heat?” they asked in terms of genuine solici tude. I thought not, for, as I ex plained, a man who has spent a sum mer in Washington can stand any brand of weather In the tropics. My convictions on that score stand. I have found no place where the heat is as oppressive as in the city on the Po tomac where the affairs of government are administered. Not even in the Red sea. We had exacted to find things unbearable there. Tales of breathless arid stifling experiences had been poured into our ears. W'e had been told of P. and O. steamers that in order to give pas sengers the benefit of such air as might be made by the motion of the vessel had turned around, going through stern ahead, the passengers arrayed each in a single garment, panting breathlessly for hours; of sands from the desert that made things positively unbearable; of lives that had been cut off for lack of real air to breath. Naturally we expected, as we were going early in August, to get it as hard as anybody had, but we were most agreeably disappointed. It was very hot for tw'o days. Most of the passengers slept in cots on deck for several nights, but I found it com fortable enough below with some air; coming through my port hole and an electric fan playing on me. A few of the ladies who had illness to give as an excuse came on deck during the day time in their kimonos, and I being the only workingman aboard ship, had the temerity to go about garbed in my pa jamas. None of the other men did that, hut it happened that none had suits that looked quite so well as mine. But even with two days of pretty ex treme heat, we had the easiest kind of a trip through this strip of water which passengers dread so much. We had not been uncomfortably hot any where on land, but Aden was expected to be a scorcher. As I have said, it has not proved so. The fellows who have to live here are not inclined to give ear to comments on this line, how ever. When I attempted to pour words of consolation into the ears of some Englishmen at the club, telling them I had known hoter places, they looked at me suspiciously as if expect ing to see horns and hoofs and a tail a la Mephisto. Surely a man who could say these things must have come from the place which Henry Norman describes as “the ultimate destination of the incorrigible unrignieous. You see, they have no rain here and the nights are as hot as the days. Hour after hour there are the same in cessant heat waves pounding against the outer covering of the brain, and men have to grip themselves hard to resist a temptation to feed their bodies to the sharks that abound in the har bor. No rain: no green things to look upon; no vegetables to eat. All around the sands of the desert. People do not drop dead from sunstroke as they do sometimes in New York, but I imagine after being here a while they wish they did. The first sight of Aden Is interesting mainly because of the striking resem blance to Gibraltar. It is reaUy re markable that here at the eastern end of the Red sea, practically standing guard over this entrance to the narrow strip of water which separates Europe and Asia from Africa and connects the Atlantic with the Indian ocean, there should be a natural fortress much like the Great Rock which stands at the western entrance. Yet that is the case. It Is not remarkable that Great Britain should have found a way to get hold of Aden Just as she did upon Gibraltar, for that is a little way she has, but that I there should be ah Aden as well as a I Gibraltar is something of a coincidence, lit Mg the leant of It A great mountain of rock has been thrown up from the sea at this point. There is more of it in quantity than there is of Gibraltar; here, instead of a single rook, there is a series of them. Just how long this has been regarded as of value from a strategical stand point I was unable to learn, for the lit erature about Aden is very scarce; but there are some old fortiflcations and the British have built and are building a lot of new ones. They are very reti cent about the extent of these. I was told that there were eighteen old forti flcations nnd twenty-flve modern new ones, but could get no further details. Whether they have twenty-flve guns here or several hundred I do not pre tend to know. Aden proper, the city, is inland about 5 miles. Out here in the harbor and adjoining the fortiflcations there is quite a thriving town, which is known as Steamer Point, to distinguish it from the old town. It is all of it Aden for all practical purposes, however. Within one month I have set foot up on the four of the great continents which go to the making up of this earth we inhabit. After North Ameri ca come Europe at Gibraltar, -in Spain and at Malta, which I presume is put down as belonging to Europe, though it is an island in the Mediterranean; then Africa, first in Morocco, after that in Egypt, and now Asia. For Aden is in Arabia, and Arabia is Asia. Arabia is a part of the Turkish eiYi pire. There are a few small sultanates in the southern part of the country, over which Clreat Britain exercises a quasi protectorate of some kind, but the great majority of the people are Mohammedans and the governmental allegiance is toward the sultan at Con stantinople, just as is their religious allegiance, with him as the head of the church. (}reat Britain owns ana ex ercises absolute control over this par ticular small piece which is so valuable from the standpoint of sea strategy. About G.OOO troops are kept here, the usual term of service for the troops from England being but one year. The present lot has been kept here longer because of the necessities incident to the South African war, which have prevented changes, but tropical service is not very desirable for Europeans un der the most favorable circumstances, and the circumstances here are far from favorable. There are detach ments of the -Royal Artillery and the Royal Engineers here, of course; and then there is both Indian infantry and the Royal West Kent regiment, the ••Queen's Own.” There is very little to interest one here except the people. Yesterday, our first day, I gave over to a ride to Aden proper, or “Crater,” as it is also called, taking the name from the fact that its location Is evidently the crater of an extinct volcano. The drive approxi mates 5 miles. Part of the distance is along the sea shore, all of it is through a country whose only product is sand. The road must have been built by the British, it is so very excellent. Past the stores and the two hotels, which give dignity to Steamer Point, outpost coal barges being loaded by half-naked Arabs, past several small houses built in a row and numbered, and after these a large Arabic cemetery on the right, we came to two high mountains with the road running between them at an elevation of perhaps a hundred feet. There is a big, arched stone gateway up there with sentries to guard it. Coming in around the base of the mountains from a direction opposite to uur own there is the road which leads from the heart of Arabia, and here l beheld a novel sight. It was a caravan of 400 camels which I was told had come 90 miles. These camels are con siderably smaller than those I saw in Egypt, at least they so impress me. They are a scurvy lot in looks and are, I am told, quite savage at times. When I made inquiry concerning the possi bility of a camel ride. I was advised against it both for reasons sanitary and from the standpoint of personal safety. “Camels very bad," said one of my Arab informants. Then he told me a pleasant little tale of a camel which, only a few days before, coming upon a man sleeping, gently cracked the neck of the sleeper with his great teeth and drank the blood of his victim. I lis tened and decided that the camel ride I had at the Pyramids would be enough for this trip. The brown-skinned, half naked Arabs who rode the camels of this caravan seemed contented and happy with their lot. however, and if they were afraid of their animals, they did not show it. Through the gates on tneir way iu the old town they passed. Our car riage followed for awhile, then the jehu. being paid for the trip and not by the hour, whipped up and we left the camels behind. Below us lay a city which we were told contains about 90, 000 people. As we drove through the narrow streets our carriage was sur rounded by a horde of black boys beg ging backshish. We had been accom panied most of the way from our starting place by four or five curly headed, black youths, all but two of whom we had been able to outrun. These two stayed with us. The spe cialty of the crew of them was to sing •'Daisy Bell" in very bad. broken Eng lish—or perhaps the title is "A Bicycle [Built for Two.” You will doubtless re call this touching ditty in which Daisy is begged to “give me your answer true,” because the youth was most crazy for her and she'd “look so sweet on a bicycle built for two.” 1 don’t know who is responsible for having taught this to these black Imps, but they made a pretty good stab at sing ing it. A few coppers satisfied most of these boys, but two of them stayed with us. They were little fellows, but the speed of the carriage worried them but little. After they had shaken the rest of the crowd they began a new line of attack. With tears streaming down their faces they begged for help. "Me no fadder, me no mudder, each cried. “Me very bad stomach ache!" In reply to Judge De Armond s touch ing-taduiries they acknowledged they never had either father or mother, and that stomach ache was the normal con dition of each. They may not have ex actly understood the judge, but they were very positive in their declarations. Finally we took pity on one and gave him a two-anna silver piece. That was four cents American. He was satisfied, for that bit of silver will keep him go ing for weeks The other boy we kept with us for a while longer, because we liked his looks, but finally we showed munificence In the same degree upon him.

Edgar was especially sorry over the stomachs of tl^ese boys and over their orphaned condition; but his faith was somewhat shaken later when we accumulated a supply of about a dozen boys, every one of whom cried that he hail "no fadder, no mudder," and had never possessed either; and that he had a very acute and dangerous case of stomach ache. Mast of these boys were either blacks direct from Somaliland or of Somali stock. The Somali blacks do not have the Ethiopian features of the central African negroes at all. There is, I un derstand. a good deal of Arab blood in their Somali stock. All of them are Mohammedans. The real Arabs—even the children—have a certain superior dignity: and, strange to say, do not join in this begging for bakshish. EIGHTY OIL WELLS. The Unique Position of the Eastern Consolidated Oil Co. The Eastern Consolidated Oil Com pany occupies a unique position, and for this reason: Although it is a young company, and its oil holdings are not one hundredth part developed, it is paying rich dividends and all op erating expenses from the actual sales of oil each month. This is a remarkably healthy con dition of affairs that cannot fail to appeal to investors. Very briefly out lined the facts are these: The Eastern Consolidated Oil Company, with Hon. Ernest Cady, former lieutenant gov ernor of Connecticut, president, con trols* in fee simple or perpetual lease, over 21,000 acres of the richest oil lands of Ohio and California. On the Pacific coast. In Santa Barbara and the Kern river fields, the development only awaits the solution of the local transportation problem. These hold- I ings are rich beyond peradventure. In Wood, Mercer and Van Wert counties in Ohio the company holds 16 farms, comprising over 1500 acres and having SO oil wells in actual operation and a large number more being bored. These wells flow high-grade illu minating oil, sold for cash to the Standard Oil Co., whose pipe lines are connected with the- different local oil fields, with a settlement every month. This sale of oil pays all operating ex penses, pays all dividends at the rate of 2 per cent, monthly, 6 per cent, quarterly and 24 per cent, yearly on the investment, and leaves a handsome balance each month for the reserve fund. Eastern Consolidated Oil stock sells now for 25c. a share, but the In creased oil production will soon force the price to double with a jump. When it does go up every dollar put in now will have double dividend paying power then. L. E. Pike Co., bankers and brokers, in Hartford, Conn., are the fiscal agents. About Trees. About now, as any well-regulated almanac would advise, begin to “haul down’’ from the trees those few stray leaves that have been dangling there all winter. They are not the Innocent things they look to be, as anyone with common sense would infer, for no tree product could fasten a leaf so securely within about two inches of a twig, that it would wave there without a fall through all the wintry blasts. That strong bond between the leaf and the branch was woven by a malevolent insect who has deposited some thou sands of eggs in the leaf, rolled it up and departed this life diabolically con tent in the assurance that when spring comes and other things wake up those eggs will liven up and make sad havoc with all leafage in reach. While most of us sit and wonder what part. If any, the legislature is going to take in nipping this wicked business in the egg, others are up and doing—up In the trees, and is, and pulling down the menacing things as material for a bonfire. It is a time. In the suburbs and In the country, when every person may co-operate to some extent in the ex tinction. One up-to-date school teach er in a suburban city has offered prizes to the boy who brings to school the largest number of these mischievous nests within a certain length of time. There they are counted and consigned to the furnace, and the prize-win ning boy stalks ofT with his prize, just a quarter, to be exact, tucked in his inside pocket. Probably other teach ers have undertaken a similar aid to the warfare, though only this one instance has yet been recorded. But there Is time for a good many more to enlist If they will in the service. Also there Is time for any individual to en ter into a similar arrangement with the small boys in his neighborhood and help bring results that will shade him from the sun through the hottest of next summer’s days.—Boston Tran script. _ In consequence of the severe weather In France droves of wild boars have be gun ravaging the fields around Tarbes. and the Inhabitants are organizing boar bunts In self-defence.

Allen French, the author of The j Colonials,” a successful new novel of the beginnings of the Revolution, is a man who has given himself wholly to literary pursuits. He has set out to write fiction as a life work. He is a well-trained and widely read student, who takes the greatest care in secur ing accuracy of background; and in the use of material. He holds the creed that not only the careful use of his material is essential, but that no j permanent literary success can be won without the g/eatest possible excel lence of style. Mr. French is a resi dent of Concord, Mass.; he is a gradu ate both of the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology and of Harvard College. H. C. Chatford-Taylor is about to j publish a new novel, upon which he j has been at work for nearly two years, j It is to be called The Crimson Wing.” and will be issued by Messrs. Herbert a. stone Co. The subject is a more serious one than this writer has un dertaken in other novels, as the Fran- j co-Prussian War forms the back ground. The two heroines are French, but the hero is a German, and this gives an opportunity for effective con trasts and exciting situations. The title of the new novel was de cided Upon at a dinner given by this wiiter to a small company of artists of different kinds. A list of possible titles was submitted to the guests, each of whom was asked to cast a vote for two, and the result was so over whelmingly In favor of "The Crimson Wing" that the author, with a docility foreign to his kind, decided to prefer that name himself. The action of tills small public perhaps merely empha sized his own preference. The phrase Is taken from Thomas Gray, who, in a poem called "The Bard, writes of ■‘Conquest’s crimson wing.” Doubleday. Pag** Co. are about to i publish Clyde Fitch's well-known com edy. "Captain Jinks of the Horse Mu- j rlnes," in a dainty volume, with t'hoto graphs of scenes of the play in which Miss Ethel Barrymore has scored such a popular success.

The Story of Pemaquhl, by James Otis, author of "The Story of Old Fal mouth." The last named book, which is vol ume H of "Pioneer Towns of America," will be of marked interest and value to Maine readers. The writer, James Otis Kaler, Is a citizen of this State, and is well known as the author of many Inspiring books for young read ers. "The Story of Pemaquid” gives the inner history of a very important early settlement of Maine. The details have been accurately collected from many obscure sources. The story is Interesting, and Invaluable as a his torical commentary. "Kate Bonnet.” the new novel by Frank R. Stockton, published by D. Appleton and Company, is said to be founded upon some of the most inter esting historical events of the seven teenth century; in a period when love, romance, and piracy flourished on our coasts, nnd on the Spanish Main. Its hero is a gentleman of Barbadoes, edu cated. rich, of r.n adventurous spirit, who determined to become a pirate, al though he knows nothing about the business; but who, eventually, turns out to be one of the most bloodthirsty of the "Brethren of the Coast.” His daughter Kate establishes herself in the position of tits good angel, in which high office she Is assisted by two lovers. Among the other characters who perform in this most lively story will be found a pious and humorous S put your Anger upon an article of wear ing apparel that isn't either murderously menacing or insistently detrimental to health. In fact, you might arraign all clothing with a good deal of common sense and consistency. "In the first place, we breathe through our bodies just as truly as we breathe through our nostrils. You may prove this by varnishing a man's body; not ail the work his lungs can do will keep him from smothering to death. Then, just to the extent that clothing interferes with the functions of the skin, to that extent it is theoretically,detrimental. .among an me murderous lorms of dress underclothing takes the lead, and of this cotton and linen garments are the chief offenders. The cotton shirt espe cially is a vicious thing. When it has be come damp from inspiration it is vir tually airtight, and a draft striking it converts it into a cold storage lining, which could not he better designed for pneumonia. A garment of genuine wool takes up this perspiration ami the warmth of the body under it evaporates the moisture. “Flannelette in this category of under wear is especially vicious. There may be no thread of wool in it, and the careful combing out of the inner cotton fibers of the garment makes only a still further receptacle for clammy moisture from the body. Chronic colds, sore throats and even consumption may result from the continuance of this kind of undergar ment. “The ordinary vest, worn by all male kind, is one of the most insidious of mur derous garments. The vest of a winter suit is especially heavy in front and is made of wool; at the back it is cotton, ‘farmer's satin,’ or perhaps thin satin. Such :l combination could not better fur ther all lung troubles. Under the should* i blades a man’s lungs are much nearer to the surface than they are in front and much more likely to be attacked by con gestions that follow cold. If men had a proper regard for health they would insist tiiat their tailors make their vests of the same material all the way around. “The ordinary silk muffler is a particu larly vicious thing. It may keep one’s collar clean, but likewise it may send one to a place where collars are not needed. Muffling the throat at best is certain to advance the possibility of throat and lung affections. The muffler is something that is easily forgotten, and for a man who is used to it to go out without It be tween November 1 and April 1 is to invite an almost certain intlummatory attack in the throat or lungs. Indeed, no matter how carefully one may seek to drop the thing in the spring, it nearly always gives him at least a parting cold. “The mackintosh is another horror. In this climate a comparatively warm rain may follow a period of freezing weather in almost any winter month. As I say, it is only comparatively warmer; the ther mometer may register only 50 degrees, but if the rain is heavy enough the man who has been wearing an ulster that is half an inch thick puts on a mackintosh and goes out to freeze to death. lie is a likely subject for pneumonia always. The fact that the rubber rain coat is wa ter tight is only another of its evil as pects. as preventing action of tin* pores. “Footwear always has been detrimental to the general health. No portion of the body is more exacting in the matter of free pores than are the feet, yet they are covered often in cheap stoc kings, colored with poisonous (lyes, ami then crowded into tight, pointed-toed shoes that squeeze them out of all semblance to a natural foot. The Inside line of the feet, which should lie perfectly straight, be comes crooked around an enlarged joint, the big toe is turned In and half of the natural functions of the feet arc strangled. Then when a rubber sandal— or, worse, an arctic overshoe—is drawn on the foot the work is complete. "The high heel in women's shoes is especially vicious, it throws the toes into the tips of the shoes, cramping and crooking them and making the natural springiness of the foot wholly impossible. Recently the rubber heel has done much to mitigate the evils of heels on hard pavements. "Kven the stiff hat has a hard reputa tion; l>y compressing the blood vessels supplying nutriment to the hair this blood supply is cut off and baldness Is one of the results. "To a man working at a desk a high collar may affect the eyesight or bring about stooped shoulders. If the man in sists upon sitting op straight at his work he has to look down at the pen or book at such an angle as to strain his eyes; if he stoops over his spinal column may be bent permanently out of shape. In any case, too, the collar interferes with tile supply of blood to the brain. "The ordinary shirt cuff is one of, the most murderous things of all man's ap parel. Our grandmothers knew some thing when they knitted the yarn •wrist ers' of titty years ago. A pair of them was worth more than an overcoat pulled on over starched cuffs. The wrist is the most susceptible part of the body to cold, and the Haring cuff invites every blast of winter, chilling all the blood in the body in a few minutes. The cufT is a good thing In hot weather, but a menace to health in winter. "The glove in cold weather, too, is a •vicious Interferer in the circulatory sys tem A man's fingers will freeze in a glove twice as quick as they will uncov ered, all because the pressure prevents circulation. For warmth a kid mitten, fleece lined, is the only sensible hand cov ering." For the Children. A cute tracing book, and one which all the little folks will want, has been gotten out recently by F. J.

Statesmen, Generals, and Leading Men of Affairs, All Interested. Tho Trotter and the Thoroughbred and Their Owners. The trotting-horse is thoroughly democratic; thoroughbred racing has be on called the sport of kings; and it is equally true that harness-racing is the sport of the sovereign people. But. out side of his ability to race, the trotter, on account of his intrinsic qualities as the greatest road-horse in the world, has always been a popular favorite, and his breeding has long been a prominent recreation of our leading men of af fairs. From a purely sentimental point of view, the late Robert Bonner was probably the greatest friend the trotter ever had. He never raced a horse, as he was a strict Presbyterian, but he loved a good horse, and price never stopped him. He was a buyer of cham pions, and in the course of his life his purchases footed up to over $500,000. As Mr. Bonner never sold his favorites, and was not a professional breeder, his great influence and example cannot be overestimated. He bought Pocahontas for $40,000, Maud S., 2.08%, for the same sum. He paid $41,000 for Sunol, 2.08%, End $3f>,000 for Dexter, 2.17%. Rarus, 2.13%, cost him $36,000. Of the twelve champions of the trotting turf since the lays of Dexter, Mr. Bonner owned the above four, and they all died at his Tarrytown farm, with exception of Sunol. who was sold after his death to John H. Shults. Mr. Bonner, more than any other man, created the fash ion among the leading men of New York of buying the best horses on the trotting turf for road purposes, thus showing that the bred has a grand sphere of usefulness, and is not merely a racing-machine. Robert Bonner’s long career as a roadite extended through two genera tions, and he, therefore, often met both Commodore Vanderbilt and his son William H., who were both great ad mirers of the trotter and devoted roadites. Their principal recreation was an afternoon drive up Harlem Lane to Jerome avenue or to Fleetwood Park, and, like Mr. Bonner, they had no limit on the price, provided the horses had the speed and quality. Com modore Vanderbilt had such famous horses in his stables as Rcckingham, Small Hopes, Lochinvar, and others as speedy. William H. Vanderbilt owned Maud S. and sold her to Mr. Bonner, as he did not wish the queen of the trot ting-turf to be hippodromed. Mr. Van derbilt was probably the greatest amateur reinsman of his day. He drove Maud S. and Aldine from his stable to Fleetwood Park on June 14, 1883, tq an ordinary road-wagon. After a. slight rest he drove the team a mile in 2.15%. When it is remembered that Mr. Vanderbilt weighed 200 pounds, that the mares were not in training, and that the professional record to a skeleton-wagon is 2.12%, this wonderful mile w.ill rank as one of the greatest achievements of the trotting-turf. General Grant was very fond of a fast Irive, and often accompanied Mr Bon ner and Commodore Vanderbilt on iheir afternoon trips, when ttye famous sealskin brigade" was in all its glory. Probably no man ever studied the American trotter more closely or loved im better than the late Senator Leland ?tarrTord, who was also California’s most famous governor. He poured out his money lavishly on his Palo Alto farm, and made it the greatest breed ing establishment of the continent, ind also one of the show places of the world. He bought from the late Charles Backman of Stony Ford, N. Y., (he stallion Electioneer, then unknown to fame, and placed him at the head of liis stud, where he became the greatest sire of the age, his offspring at various times having all the principal cham pionships to their credit, including the two-year-old championship of Arion, 2.10%, in 1891, which, after the lapse of eleven years, still remains untouched, though the world's championship dur ing that period of time has dropped from 2.08% to 2.02%. At his own expense he commissioned J. B. D. Stillman, A. M„ to write a hook on the “Horse in Motion.” illus trated by hundreds of Instantaneous photographs, which was a revelation to the oldest horsemen, and produced a revolution In pictures of horses In ac tion. It conclusively demonstrated that all pictures up to that date were untrue to nature and contrary to the facts. It has been stated that each volume in that edition cost the senator $100. Senator Stanford was fortunate in one respect; many wealthy men fas cinated by the breeding problem have spent fortunes in striving for ideals which they never lived to realize. He lived to see the full fruition of his high est hopes, and the name of Palo Alto coupled with the great university which now owns It will live forever. In the Senate of the United States with Leland Stanford was the late Sen ator Stockbridge of Michigan, who. with his partner, S. Brown, founded the Kalamazoo Stock Farm. Mr. Stockbridge was one of the most gener ous and genial of men, and a most de voted admirer and friend of the trotter. At his great Michigan farm he had such sires as Bell Boy, Ambassador, Grand Sentinel, and Warlock, and a superb brood-mare band to match. Senator Bailey of Texas, is another statesman whose principal recreation is breeding the trotter. In Montana the late Marcus Daly had one of the greatest breeding-estab lishments on the continent, and died just too soon to see the magnificent realization of his great judgment and highest hopes. Congressman Joseph Sibley made his Prospect Hill Stock Farm famous, and his catalogues, il lustrated in Schreber’s best half-tones, were veritable gems of art. Ex-Gov. Mirriam of Minnesota, has always been a prominent horseman and was the nrst president ot tne amenran Trotting association. Ex-Secretary of the Navy, Gen. Ben jamin F. Tracy, has long been a breeder of trotters, and at his old Marshland Farm, and later at his farm near Gosh en. has bred many winners, and when he wishes a day's rest: from his law Ladies Fur Coats MARKED DOWN—SEE THESE AND GET PRICES BEFORE BUYING.

In New England belongs the honor of having the highest-priced trotter in the world, and J. Malcolm Forbes is the owner, he having paid $12f>,000 for Arion when he was a two-year-old, which is also the highest price paid for a two-year-old of any breed. Mr. Forbes breeds for recreation, and has many notable horses besides his peer less Arion. These are only a few not able names in the hundreds of promi nent men of affairs with national repu tations in their respective professions who are known for their love of the American trotter, and who have not hesitated to spend their millions in his development and perfection. The breeding and racing of the thorough-bred horse have always been looked upon as important items in all countries of the world. In America, England, and France, especially, they have poured forth money like water to advance and improve ttye breed for it has always been the one industry in which the wealthy man was prepared to, and certainly did, invest his money, with no hope or expectation of a profit. The breeding farms of England are household words in the circles domi-! nated by the horse, and here in America much, very much, has been done in this respect and along these lines. xi is sucn a migiuy suujeci max omy a bare reference is possible to eaeli indi vidual. Dating from the Revolution, tt was Henry Astor of New York who im ported the famous Messenger, the fath er of the American trotter, and when lie died, near Oyster Bay, L. I., it was the funeral of a deceased statesman rather than a horse, for people came for miles around to pay honor to him. a military organization tiring volleys over his grave. The pioneers after that date were the families of Moultrie, Pinckney, Alston, Wigfall, Sumter, Rutledge. Hampton, Singleton, McPherson', Fenwick. etc.; these gentlemen imported famous horses. Vanity, l.ottery, daughters of Timoleon, Reel; the stallions Phoenix. Bussorah, Roman, Barefoot, Autocrat, Trustee, Diomed, Sovereign (from the stud of King William IV.), and scores of others. The great Commoner. Henry Clay, was a prominent breeder at his famous Ken tucky home, Ashlands, importing the his toric mare Yorkshire. Boston, the sire of Lexington, is buried on the farm where Senator Blackburn was born, and the greut Eclipse also lies there; the Sena tor’s father being a prominent horseman of his day. Gen. Andrew Jackson also was a breeder; his principal horse was the noted Truxton, bv Diomed, who wo:: everything from a quarter to four-mile heats. Another horse enthusiast was Gen. Lucius J. Polk, whose family later gave a President to the United States. Then followed Col. John Holmes, who has been termed "The Father of the Ameri can Turf,” and who. with Col. John Tay lor, imisjrted Diomed. George Washing ton himself acted as judge in 17SH) at a track near Alexandria, and his own horse, Magnolia, was beaten, while Thomas Jefferson entered and ran a "roan colt,” which proved the winner to beat Washington's entry. From then to the present day, presidents, governors, soldiers, even clergymen (witness the Rev. Hardy M. Cryder of Tennessee), have stood in the front ranks of those who loved and labored for the thorough bred horse. A good story is told of Mr. Cryder, who owned a half Interest in a colt by Leviathan, and, being brought to book by his parishioners lor owning a half interest in a racer, left it to them to define a way by which Col. Elliott s half could run on the track and his half stay in the stable, which humorous re ply touched his hearers, who undoubted ly loved a horse themselves, and noth ing more was heard of the matter. In the South, Gen. W. S. Hancock founded the famous Belle Meade stud. Charles Heed of Fairview paid $100,000 for St. Blaise, which speaks volumes for the type of the establishment, while ;n the North, at a later date, D. D. Withers came broadly into prominence with his wonderful Monmouth Park race track, one of the finest in the world Of its kino, and by the horses which carried the "all black with black cap" to victory. The late Pierre Lorlllard. at Rancoca-J, poured money by the armful into its financial coffers with never a return financially, but good horses by the barn ful. What need to speak of his Irouqois winning th*e great English Derby? Ev ery boy knows of it, and in the early eighties there were eighty-seven high class brood-mares there witn ten iamous stallions, the most celebrated animals lr. this country since the war, Parole At tilla, Duke of Magenta. Plzzarro, Mortc mer, Simon Magnus, sire of the undefeat ed Wheel of Fortune (barring her final breakdown). Sailor Prince, etc., while Pierre I-orillard. Jr., had a notable breed ing farm in Westchester at the old Hun ter homestead, itself a nursery of thor oughbreds for generations. The stud of the late William U Scott at Erie earned, through Kayon d'Or stuck, $408,er cent, and an increase of the market price of the fish of from to To per cent. In the urgent deficiency bill passed by Congress it year ago last February, pro vision was made for a special Investiga tion of the decline in the lobster fisheries and the fish experts have been studying the problem ever since, bat with no very striking results. The catching of lobsters on a large scale is comparatively a sim ple matter, but the rearing of the young to the point where they can take care of themselves is a difficult undertaking In volving iiuestions which have not yet been solved. The report of the fish commis sion says: "Owing to the continued decrease of the lobster fishery strenuous efforts have been made during the past two years to increase the output of lobster fry. but the scarcity of lobsters and the difficul ties encountered in getting the egg lob sters from the fishermen, notwithstanding the cordial co-operation of the state com missioners throughout New England, has made this impossible. "Arrangements were made during the winter months to collect all the egg bearing lobsters captured from Eastpor' to New York. Th. Grampus, assisted by a steam smack, plied along the coast of Maine and visited all the Important fish ing centers from early In April to July. Besides this local agents were stationed from lottery to New Ixrndon. Ct„ who purohased egg lobsters, not only from the fishermen but also from the dealers In the large towns. These were then trans ferred to Wood's Hole and Gloucester by sail and steamboats provided for this purpose. Notwnnsianaing me en'Tis «443 egg lobsters were secured north of Cape Cod. These yielded 03.635.00u eggs, from which were hatched 58,560,000 fry, which were deposited on suitable grounds along the coast. At Wood's Hole only 28,140.000 eggs were secured and 22,643,000 hatched." The trustees of the National Portrait Gallery have, through the generosity of the Countess of Cavan, secured the fa mous portrait of John Bunyan. the Im mortal author of "The Pilgrim's." painted by Thomas Sadler in 1685.

f ROMAN RELICS. fh Their Manufacture is Legiti mate and Lucrative. ri’t t The Crafty Italian and the Gullible American Tourist. Act Imitation* Which I Export*. of-bogus antiquities imate and lucrative occupa tu,ti In Rome, and other parts of Italy, v. rites William E. Curtis from Rome to th«i Chicago Record-Herald. A lady totfriet from America found a marble haftismal font in an old curiosity shop thd other day. It was exquisitely ca lived, but was somewhat defaced and sbujived' slsns of great age. She thought it would do for llow'ers and ferns in I hefl drawing-room, and so she bought it Snd made careful notes of its his toi|-, which the seller gave in great de tail. He said it had been discovered aufting the ruins of an old church dur ing some recent excavations in a little village near Orvieto; that the designs of the decorations showed it to be fifteenth century work, and as the ruined cljurch had been erected about tin# same period, it was undoubtedly ca lived for the baptistry. The price was paid, the marble was carefully packed and sent to the United States. A few days later the lady drifted hack to the same shop to see If there was anything else to suit her fat^cy, awl, to her astonishment, she found another baptismal font exactly like throne she had purchased. The pjqprlefoiv With whom she had been dealing, was absent, but the man in charge gave her the same story that had been told about the duplicate she bad purchased a few days before. Sus pecting that the dealer had packed and shipped gomething else in the box, she decided to make an investigation, and when she confronted him lie blandly Informed her that there had been two baptismal fonts in the old church ex actly alike, ’and as she had bought the other, he wopld sell her "this for a slight reduction. Her husband warned her that the man was a swindler, aqd that lmttft fonts were undoubtedly’^ogus, but her faith wag strong arid ah* purchased the seeond one and Serrt i| after the first. A few days later aft acquaintance told of a similar baptismal font which she had seen in another shop, and a short •walk led the mortified tourist to an old dealer who had a triplicate of her fif teenth ceniury font,'which she could have purchased for about tw'o-thirds of the price she had paid for the others, and the identical story was told her. This Is a single illustration of what happens here every day, and the same sort of swindling is carried on at Florence, Naples anjfjpther cities of stained with oil to make them yellow, nnd exposed to heat to produce cracks; I1re in the lower part of a cabinet until he could have it mounted. When lie took it out three or four weeks after, the wrappings wete saturated with dampness and rirop(i (ff nf^»tuifA were apparent upon the lining of the mosaic. which, of course, was absolute evidence that the cement work was new. The manu facturer was too impatient to sell it to allow it to dry. The purchaser sent him a note saying that If sny other mosaics were found o( the same kind he would like to see them, and within a very short time the dealer appeared with another piece equally beautiful. The purchaser ex amined closely, then taking a chisel pierced the lining and scraped off a large chunk of damp cement. Then he broke the mosaic in two and showed the dealer that it was not half dried. Before this Exposure took place the purchaser had induced the dealer to sign an affidavit covering the main points of his statement about the age Italy.

Cacn nc ti l l a custom among the Nau.ti., t enturies old—-a custom which we found later is universal among the great Indian tribe all over its reservation. All Navajos have a hi lief that it is a blight upon a hus band's life to have any communication wim or association with his wife’s mother. The greater part of the Na vajos believe that a husband who looks upon his mother-in-law is tempting all the evil spirits upon himself, and many are so intense in the belief as to say that a husband who gazes at his mother-in-law will surely have his ey 'balls wither and drop out of tnelr sockets. Navajo lore is full of legends about great warriors in the past who have had visitations of hideous physi cal ailments and helplessness upon thi m for defiance of the law of the tr! >c. But while no Navajo can cite a modern instance of blindness or ba 1 lin k or paralysis or decrepitude bet ause of a husband's accidentally looking upon his mother-in-law, the superstition is just as potent. The Na vajo who accidentally comes In con tai t with his mother-in-law is the sub jei t of commiseration by all his rela tives and is very much pitied by the mother-in-law herself. No one knows how old the tribal be lief is, or concerning its origin. De argas, a Spanish Jesuit missionary, who was the first to labor for Christ ianity among the Navajos, wrote in his diary in 1593 that the custom dated from remote antiquity. In L>e Vargas' day mothers-in-law were frequently buined to death by angry Navajos be cause they had not been sufficiently careful to warn their unsuspecting sons-in-law of their approach, and they (the mothers-in-law) had thereby brought dreadful suffering upon the unfortunate husbands of their daugh ters. Some twenty years ago a Na vajo squaw, who had a dispute with her married daughter, and had av nged herself by walking deliberate ly in upon her son-in-law as he lay in the family liogan (hut) so that he in voluntarily spoke to her and looked her full in the face, was beaten to death by her own husband and children for her fearful act. The fact that this victim of a mother-in-law's anger sickened and died a year later is ample proof in the Navajo logic that he had been mysteriously cursed by his wife's mother. Marriage among the Nava jog is a matter of purchase, and the mother of the prospective bride is particularly consulted to know whether the son-in law is agreeable to her, and, if he is agreeable, whether she will make his life happy and prosperous by beeping out of his sight and giving him full warning whenever she comes near to his presence. Many a Navajo sends constant gifts to his mother-in-law for her kindly consideration by her avoid ance of his sight. The purchase price or a Navajo bride is almost universally a home. Any sort of a horse goes. The more attractive the Navajo gill the better the horse. Here and there is a girl whose proud parents demand several horses for her hand in mar riage.'and the pledge of the gill's mother to forever love and help her son-in-law by keeping away from him. Here and there are also some Navajos inaidi ns whose marriage price is fixed at any jawbones of a superannuated nag that may be had in the reservation. Naturally one would think from the universality of this custom among the Navajos that woman’s place In the tribe is degraded, but the contrary is the case. The Navajos are not strictly n agricultural people. Their farming operations are limited and of recent origin, and the young women very sel Idom work in the fields, except at har vest time. Most of the wealth of the tribe Is in sheep and horses, principally the former, anl the sheep belong ex clusively to the women; they are her personal property. Moreover, descent and inheritance are in the female line, the children helong to the mother and are members of her clan, the father having no rights In the matter. The purchase money, or rather pur 'chase horses, are of no direct benefit to jthe parents. Payment Is made to the uncles and brothers of the bride in cer tain proportions. Should domestic troubles arise which are due to some fault of the women, the horses are re turned, but should the failure lie with the man, the woman can and does leave him and return to her people. In that case the horses are retained in her family. f The mother, therefore, has no direct -fnterest In her daughter's welfare, but the interest arising from maternal love might often complicate or even make impossible the usual procedure, and as people in primitive society always seekJ 'and use the most directmeanstoanend, I V' I Ithe possible ill-effect*0fmaternalaffec tio:i upon established wavs and cus .loins were reduced to a niinimum by jthe establishment of the mother-in-law taboo, which gradually grew to fixed custom or law. What harm coutd an irate mother-in-law do if she were ab solutely prohibited from speaking to her daughter’s husband? And. on the other hand, what show would 'a man have if left unprotected to the mercy of three or four mothers-in-law, for poly gamy is commonly practiced in the tribe? -Some such.law is.an actualjia*. cessity in primitive societies. The .pniplioatioiii ^ught’ abouL by this 1 atUc’Ular condfiio^t are many ajtd vartomjF An accidOatrt meeting?*?Jpr .xan.jfbgjs very*f«twafd f„r both, fat other Indians are present, frantic warnings to hide himself are shouted to Hwrwtn, and- if he is on horseback he will sti ike out as if for his life,. The woman is warned and threatened, and, if possible, hurried oft and concealed behind a lock or bush, if no way of escape is iKissible, the man drops down upon the ground, huddled up into as small a space as possible, and, draw ing his blanket over ...s head, remains thus hidden until the danger is past. Should a woman who is a mother-in law catch a glimpse at a distance of her daughter's husbandc she will dart off to one side like a frightened rabbit and i roueh down behind some bush or grovel on the ground while the man passes by with his face turned away. Even in those cases where for good cause a separation between man and wife has taken place the taboo still re mains in full effect. The position of I II" III.I II II. in ficiciai l V f S ill MI has, perhaps. discarded two or three— not an unusual case-^and has, per hai>s, half a dozen •'lhojhers-ln-law, who might crop out in the most un expected places, is certaiidy not an enviable one. The boasted freedom of the savage is to him a cruel myth, for be it remembered he most firmly be lieves that should he so much as look upon the mother of one of his women the results will be most disastrous to him. The sympathies of the people are with the man, and every effort is made to protect him from the baleful influences arising front the proximity of his mother-in-law. Should he visit a house where she is, although it is her own. the woman must retire when he is seen approaching, and must remain outside and hidden un til he leaves. No matter1 if the weather be bitterly cold, no matter if the near est neighbor be miles away, such is the law, and such is the practice. Some of the side effects, as it were, of this custom are peculiar. The sil versmith of the tribe, a man of high intelligence and a leader among his fellows, wealthy and 'wishing several wives, apparently devoted much thought to the problem. His business brought him into contact with many thousands of Indians, iind he was un willing to place himself in a position where he might be compelled at any moment to drop everything and run for shelter. He solved the problem in ii way very satisfactory to him by mar rying three sisters. Another method, even more peculiar, is shocking to us, but to the Indian ap peals not only proper but an easy so utlon of a perplexing problem. It Is lot at all uncommon for a Navajo to Iiltlllj il tlt-Mllilll llllM ’ll' I UdUglllClt course, he takes the mother, usually an elderly woman, first, and the daughter next, although negotiations are car ried on at the same time. I'.y this ex pedient he obtains the woman he wants with no mother-in-law appendage. In his eyes all women are to be cherished, not only from any chivalrous regard or the sex, but because the old women assume largely the care of the children, and because all women, young and old, are weavers, nnd the well known Navajo blankets, the manufac ture of which is now a considerable in dustry, are made by the women. When a woman dies her man does not speak of what she has done for him or the children she has borne him, but only hat Khe was a good blanket weaver, tie mourns the loss of a valuable and productive machine. The Navajo women mature early and ilso fade early, fjirls are usually sold n marriage at 14 or 15 years of age, >ut they are often “reserved” when but t or 10 years old by a part payment, eventually as i ivilization progresses, 10 doubt, the'sewing machine plan will >e introduced, and a man will be able o pay for his wife in monthly install nents. On the Navajo reservation there are •omparatively few squaw men—white nen who marry Indian women and hereby attain certain rights in the ribe. In such cases the usuul price Is |50 paid in cash to the brothers and moles of the woman, and not in torses, which constitutes the sole and ■jcclusive legal tender when the tran saction is between Indians. Very much tigher prices than this are sometimes realized. In one instance a white tiader offered $300 in cash and goods [or a young woman—and a grass .wid ow at that! The offer was declined. Her people wanted $350. and had the man not died at this point in the nego tiations, the sale would have been made. To the. squaw men the mother-in-law taboo is not a matter of firm belief, as it is to the Indians—at least not at (list, but they are ready subscribers to the doctrine. Trifling With Mrs. Nation's Zeal. f Indianapolis Press.) W. I.. Higgins perpetrated a practical joRe on Carrie Nation while the smasher was here. A well-known local dentist, who dresses well and is rather adipose, was standing at the corner of Pennsylvania and Washington streets when ?)lrs. Nation Rot through haranguing the crowd there. “Look at that man.” said Mr. Hig gins. pointing to hi? friend, the doctor. “He ip well off. and he makes his money out of the tears of orphans, the wails of widows and the groans of strong men." “He keeps a rum shop, does he?” said the smasher, darting a pen ing glance in his direction. “No.” said Mr. Higgins, "he is a den tist." In consequence of two years' over production of wine the situation in France has reached such a point that the government is considering rel ef measures. The life of a Londoner is worth 10 to 15 years' less purchase than that of the average provincial. This fact is due to many causes, but the chief among them is the quality of the water. Indisposed is the polite way of saying that one feels "all out of sorts.’1 It is an ailment that we are all subject to much oftener than our general well-being welcomes. Physicians disagree as to its cause for coming and are just as unsatisfactory in directing a cause for its going. It don’t always go; sometimes it lingers and develops into something more menacing than indisposition. Perfect health demands that careful scrutiny be made of every new change in these "out of sort” periods. Regular personal habits are not the rule with indisposed persons; the healthv, active, vigorous and very-much-alive person is regular in his personal habits. We have, then, the prescription for indisposition: Regulate your personal habits. Do this naturally and logically, being careful not to disturb any other functions of the body. TONIKO-TEA establishes regularity in personal habits; does this in the right way —natural way. This is just as certain as that two and two equal four.

FOREIGN CHAT A Few Sensational English Law The Kohinoor and Other Coronation Jewels. Germany’s New Code of Civil and Criminal Law. Among the cause celebres which will occupy the London courts of justice during the present term, and which are likely to have a certain amount of in terest for American readers, is the breach of promise suit of Miss Knight, of footiight celebrity, against the Duke o* Manchester, which is to be tiied by special jury. There is no truth in the report that the affair has been compromised. He w... likewise appear in two bankruptcy motions brought against him attributable, it would appear, to his efforts to add a number of new debts to those for the settlement of which the official receiver and his friends were in negotiation with his creditors. Sir Robert Peel, the precious author of that species of autobiography, "A Bit of a Fool," add those financial short-comings have repeatedly brought him into the bankniptcy court, and likewise into the prisoner's dock, is likewise the defendant in a new bank suptcy suit. He Is apparently de termined to maintain undiminished the uneviable notoriety with which he has embellished the honored name of his illustrious grandfather. Sir Robert Peel, the most famous of all the pre miers of Queen Victoria's reign. There is a suit in the King's Bench Division, brought by Miss Corelli, the authoress, against De Beck, in which the plaintiff Is represented by Sir (leorge Lewis, and there are a number of civil suits against the Earl of Lons dale, against the Earls of Carnarvon and Langford, against the Earl of Harrowby, and last, hut not least, against the Duke of Newcastle, the plaintiff being Charles Pelham Clin ton, married to Miss Zerega. of New York, and who was formerly employed as a reporter on some of the New York evening papers. The legal pro ceedings which he has brought against the duke have been pending for some time, and relate to the disposition of some property which Charles Pelham Clinton believes should have come to him. but which, instead thereof, went to the duke. l nese Mr** omy a iew ui m** iiumr-i ous cause celebres which figure on the list of oases to be tried by the various divisions of the English high court of justice during the present legal term. The cabled announcement that the King had given orders that the Kohi noor diamond should be used for the adornment of the crown with which Queen Alexandra will be crowned by the Archbishop of York immediately after the coronation of her husband by the Archbishop of Canterbury in West minster Abbey, next June, does not. as some people seem to imagine, involve the omission of any jiortion of the historic gems, forming part of the regalia of the Kings of England. The Kohinoor is a Jewel which has come into the possession of the English monarch since the accession of Queen Victoria, and consequently it has never before figured at any of the coronations in Westminster Abbey. Indeed, there is no place for it in the existing crowns of the King, and it is, consequently, only just and right that it should go to adorn the crown of the Queen Consort, which compared with those of the King, is lamentably defi cient in celebrated stones. There are many reasons why the Kohinoor should find a place at the coronation, and to those princes of Htndoostan and vassal rulers of semi independent states, comprised in the «irlental empire of King Edward, who attend the coronation, the presence of the stone among the regalia will mean much. For according to an ancient superstition, the |>ossession of this stone carries with it the supreme con trol of the whole of India, and so great is the importance attached by ail Orientals to the stone that its acquisi tion by Oreat Britain at the time of the annexation of the Punjaub was the subject of a special treaty with Eng land. The crown with which Queen Alex andra will be crowned is known as that of St. Kdith. so named in remembrance of Rdward the Confessor's* wife, but was in reality made for Queen Mary of Modena, the consort of King James Subsequently it was altered for his daughter and successor. Queen Mary II. wife of William III, sur named "of Orange," and the last Queen to be crowned therewith was Queen Adelaide, the consort of King William IV.. who was the uncle of Queen Victo ria and her immediate predecessor on the throne. The St. Edith's crown is of much the same form as the King's crown, being of two archer on a cap of purple velvet, turned up with ermine’ and ornamented with diamonds. Queen Alexandra will likewise be invested at her coronation with a seet>ter. about three feet long. It is of gold set with diamonds, and is sur mounted by a cross issuing from a fleur de lis. This she will carry in her right hand, while in her left she will bear what is known as the rod or "Virge of the Queen." which is about the same length as the scepter, but made of ivory, and tipped with a dove of white eniymel. It must thoroughly be understood that alt the regalia, with the exception igjtw.i articles, dates from the reign of King Charles II.. the original regalia having beer, broken up. melted, and sold by Oliver Cromwell’s Roundheads during the great revolution. The two exceptions are the ampulla, in which the holy oil for the anointment of the King and Queen Consort is contained, and the spoon which is used for the anointment. The spoon dates back to the eleventh century, while the anipula. which is in the form of an eagle with expanded wings, is on record as hav ing figured for the first time at the coronation of King Henry IV. in 1399. The head of the eagle unscrews so that the consecrated oil can be poured in, and it is then poured out through an orifice In the beak. The use of the sacred oil of Chrism is In the eyes of the devout the most Important feature >f the coronation. The head, hands, ind shoulders of both King and Queen ire touched therewith, this anointment being regarded as signifying and con veying an “unction from on high, through which the recipient receives spiritual strength to do valiantly and to bear burdens patiently.” It is from this that comes the description of the monarchs as the "anointed of the Lord,” and the practice of anointing kings amt er cent of the entire body, that their voices are practically of no account. On these landed estates their owners, moreover, exercise a despotism of the most extra ordinary character, which, however, has become considerably tempered by tiie in troduction of the new code. Indeed, the condition of the masses in Mecklenburg, especially the condition of lhe Industrial and manufacturing classes, simply baffles description. Every attempt to change this state of things in times past has been opposed by the territorial nobility and by the rulers who since 1810 hold the title of grand duke. In fact, anyone who made an at tempt to secure popular rights was sub jected to the most intolerable persecution, neither the territorial magnates nor yet the reigning family being anxious to sur render their mediaeval prerogatives. Of course, the main burden of taxation fell upon the masses, which have no voice In the expenditure of the revenues, these being regarded as entirely at the disposal of the reigning house, the territorial mag nates finding their advantage in the mat ter by their relative exemption from tax ation. To give an idea of the conditions in Meeklenlnirg 1 will merely cite here a single phrase from the proclamation by means of which Duke John Albert an nounced his assumption of the regency of the grand duchy on the suicide of his elder brother, the late grand duke, a few years ago. He says: “We look for abso lute loyalty and blind obedience In every possible particular, as is only right and fitting on the part of subjects, vassals, and servants towards »he master of their land and of their person.A previous sentence goes to show that It Is the ter ritorial aristocracy who are meant by the terms “vassals" and “subjects.” whil’ the qualification of "servants" is reserved for the merchants, the manufacturers, the professional men. the peasantry, and in one word all the middle and lower classes, exactly as in the Middle Aires, when the middle and lower classes Were looked upon as mere serfs and catt'e, and treated as such. This anomaly is about to be brought a close, thanks to the new imperial code, I and the young Grand Duke. who shows j evidence of being more enlightened and up-to-date than any of his predecessors, and who, unlike his father, is a warm friend of the Kaiser, has intimated ids intention of granting a constitution to his people identical with that enjoyed by the people of the other states of the im perial confederation. The origin of every national constitution in Europe is the concession of rights to the people by t!v? sovereign. Sometimes this grant has been voluntary, and in other instants compulsory. But it always originate.-; with the monarch, as it will do in lie present case with the reigning Grand Duke of Meeklenburg-Schwerin. Of course, the territorial aristocracy ary* opposing tiie Grand Duke tooth and nail in the matter, declaring that he is vio lating the feudal charter between the reigning house and the aristocracy, which was made in 1523, and by virtue of which the nobles have retained their feudal rights ever since. They even denounce the young Grand Duke as being about to render himself guilty of a revolutionary coup d’etat. But he in reply j oints t the new code, of the empire, and, basing himself thereon, declares that federal rights are siinerloi to state rights; that th« interests of the empire must be con sidered before those of any unit of tic confederation. and that imperial right de mands that every German citizen should have a voice in the government of his own state. The Two Bridges. Sir Edwin Arnold contributes an article entitled "The Two Bridges” to Tne School Bulletin and New York State Eu uoational Journal. It reads like a ra- I mance and is well worth the attention of parents and teachers who have "stupid' children to train. On** aft* rnoon there tain** to the gate of my school in Kgbaston the boy 1 consid ered tie most stupid in all my classes, j lie was tall and ungainly, though good looking; very shy and silent; docile and respectful enough, but always behind with some of his tasks, and, conse quently, forever at tne bottom of his form; tne sort of lad no master troubles himself about. 1 must confess I hau given up all idea of making anything cu» of him, at any rate as regarded certain important lessons- a helpless, dull, un willing. profitless dunce—so l imagined, and so 1 had reluctantly come to treat him. With him came into my garden one day a pr* tty girl, a year younger, win* explained that Trotter wanted badly to see me, but did not dare venture alone; and so. being his friend and living wit i his mother, she had accompanied him. Possibly that made me more indulgent ti the hulking, stupid, silent youth; for there were great, bright tears in tne girl s blue eyes, and she held the big nervous fellow' by the edge of the coat as if sh feared he w'ould run away from sham and fright. And when she softly relate*-• liuw good a boy he was to his mother and how hard lie worked to learn h*s school tasks, and how miserable lie be came at his repeated failures and his perpetual ignominy at the bottom of tie form, and how all important it was that he should pass a forthcoming examina tion on which his future bread and meat would depend, and that she had accord ingly persuaded him to come to me, and now desired very ardently to make me understand that Trotter was burning with a desire to win my good opinions, and that she and her mother thought h* could not be really stupid, because then* were other lessons outside of geometry and what not, which he always did well, arid he had, moreover, invented two or three remarkable improvements for a steel rolling factory. So 1 made the poor lad speak for him self; and then he ruefully explained how he had never for one fleeting moment un derstood any atom of Euclid, or why it was written or taught at all. with other special difficulties in his course—certain subjects being all the time, as 1 myself well knew, easy enough to him. The truth was he was no more sttfpid than the average "Brummagen” boys. He was a proud, silent, well-meaning lad who had been vilely taught at the begin ning; for teaching is a line art, and ver> few really understand it. His humility and earnestness melted me, as well as the tears in the blue eyes of his little friend. 1 sent h*.r home and made him stop to tea. and that afternoon we tore up Euclid by the roots; we di verted ourselves of all false terrors in spired in young minds by that ancient name; we went behind the old Alexan drian geometry, and found him out in his plans, his purposes, his beginnings, his fallacies, and his merits. I told Trotter not to be ashamed of any little personal difficulties, since King Ptolemy had boggled like himself at the foot of the "Asses’ Bridge" and hail asked Euclid one day, in Alexandria, if he could not make it all a bit easier, to which the ancient mathematican replied that "there is no royal road to learning.” "Bat there is, Trotter,” 1 said, "a ver> broad and good King’s highway, bv means of which nothing is difficult, noth ing abstruse. It was just as easy to learn the binomial theorem, or Persian, »r Sanskrit, or Euclid or navigation, o chemistry, as It is to mow grass or to shear sheep. The secret is to be rightly taught, or to teach yourself rightly from the beginning making sure of every step taken, and bearing in mind that mo t learning is very simple, and that most school books do their very best to ren der it obscure and senseless.” Well, with that vve built up Euclid for ourselves. Trotter came to me privately every day, and we attacked that fatal proposition on the first book as Napoleon lid his enemies at the bridge of Areola We surveyed it, we made colored sections of it so that he ended by knowing all its intricate triangles. We mapped out and marked its angles and lines, so that wv came to be a hie to prove the theorem b> colors or numbers jast as well as by let ters. We worked out deductions and cor ollaries from it. until like a kind of geo metrical Clapham Junction or the big railroad bridges, one over the other a* Birmingham, we had all sorts «»f supple mentary propositions built over it an 1 under it. And, as he grasped the raison de’etre of Euclid, his terrors changed to pleasure. The lad became the finest demonstrator in the class, always at the top for geom- etry. Well, that was one bridge. As I was crossing Canada, many and many a year afterward in the new and wonderful re gion which extend* between Vancouver and Winnipeg, we came upon a “junc tion" and right upon a very important ceremony, the opening of a very remark able bridge, built over a most impetuous unrestrainable river, and connecting in a most momentous manner for commerce and Intercourse the sister states of a great province. We had to stay over I night at the station, and decided to be present at the inauguration of the new bridge. Having received a polite invitation to attend, I repaired to the superintending engineer of the district. In order to ob tain some particulars of time and place. Inquiring at the door 1 was told that the superintending engineer was for th-* I moment out, but his wife, whose name l 1 did not catch, would sec me. Looking around the walls of matchboard in a casual manner I saw to my astonishment i among pictures of various kinds, a [th. tographlc view of King Edward’s school at tiirnungnam. ana close beside it tbo fifth proposition of the first ls>.>k of Eu cli«l with tlie angles ami triangles done la divers colors, and underneath it written.

STREETCARWAYS OF SMALL CITY. ft New York Young Woman Who Didn’t Understands Them is Enlightened. (New York Sun.) The “Step lively, please,” of the New York street car conductor is usually resented iiy the visitor from a small town, lieeiuse it is so unexpected. On the other hand, a New York visitor to a modest interior city resents the "take it easy” methods of the street car men there. A young woman who recently re turned from a visit to Oswego, the home of her parents, but a town with whose customs she was uot well ac quainted, is telling her friends of an noying experience she had during the trip. The town boasts of one trolley line, which runs from east to west, crossing the Oswego river, which di vides the city. She was visiting on the cast side, and having a dinner engage ment on the west side one evening hoarded a car to get thare. She had allowed herself only about the time it would take n New York car to cover the distance. Everything went well until the car got on the bridge ind met the other car going east. The motormen brought their cars to a stop within easy speaking distance and opened a conversation. “Have you heard the news’" asked one. “No, what’s that?” “Mike’s discharged.” “You don’t tell me.” “I do. Drink did it.” “True or you. What’d his wife say?” What his wife said the young woman who tells the story doesn't remember, because about this time she was pro testing to the conductor. “Sure don’t be uneasy, miss.*' he re plied, “there's plinty of time.” So there was apparently, for though the conversation continued, none of the other passengers seemed surprised or annoyed. The young woman was 10 minutes late at dinner. She excused herself and amused the company by telling her story. Don't mind, dear," her hostess re- plied, “and really we cannot complain about those little things because the men are so obliging in other ways. I have no doubt that- the very conductor wno ignored your protest is the one j who brings up our meat every morn ing.” “Why. is he a butcher also?" “No. but the car runs past the butcher’s and also past the house, as you know, so I just Rive him the order. Ji>- leaves it with the butcher on the down trip, gets the meat when he conn s back and stops here long enough to 'iiing it in to me.” ‘Don't the passengers ever object?" “Never, unless in a ease like yours, they are accustomed to the hurry of a big ciiy. It only takes a minute, and we have many minutes to spare here." ■Hut that isn't all,” she went on. "When .John has a rush at the store and doesn't com# home at noon, I send a little lunch to him by street car." "And I.” volunteered another woman in the party, “never worry when Will goes away in the morning without his umbrella and overshoes, for if it rains I just hail a passing car and ask the conductor to drop into the office and give them to him." "Now.” concluded the young woman who tells the story, “just imagine ask- ing a Broadway conductor to do that.” MILLIONS OF RAILROAD TIES. How to Make Them Last Longer a 1 Problem Railroad Men Can’t Solve. (New York Sun.) It is impossible to estimate, except 1 vaguely, the number of railroad ties in i use in the United States, but a single road, the New York Central, replaced 1,800,000 old ties with new ones, last year. the ICrie Hm.cuo In New York state and on its whole line, the Delawaro Uickawanna 1 fin.imn. and other New York roads in like proportion. _on r|ll th** roads of the country fully i«#,<*00,uo,t new ti*-s are required for renew als. extensions ami additions each year and this entails a vast use of railroad materials, is a steady drain upon the val uable lur.dter supplies and costs. more over. a large sum for labor and hauling. Much ingenuity has been expanded on projects r<*r retaining wooden ties longer in use than is possible at present. The standard American railroad tie is 9 feet long by 8 inches deep and 8 inches wide, and n fairly bard wood is required to prevent the rails from sinking and from becoming displaced. Oak. chestnut, iocust and cedar are the usual cross Ues. Many attempts have been made to treat as to prevent decay of the wood. Some years ig* th» cross-ties used on the Heading KaHrnad were notched wh^re the pulls crossed them and their ends dipped In real tar.
