He then looked to the I'nited Stales for support. When Edward V. Morgan, who was American minister to Corea from June :*tj until Nov. -9, 1903, when the legation was abolished, refused the re quest ol the Emperor that he take ref uge at the legation at the time of the Japanese were pressing him to sign a treaty giving Japan control of the for eign affairs of Corea, the Emperor was greatly disappointed and the final re moval of the American legation was a gloat blow and disappointment to him. Almost till foreigners who knew the Emperor considers him its a well mean ing hut weak man and his son, the present crown prince, is not regarded its an improvement on his father. turo. The Emperor’s condition was indescribable. Creatly agitated and perturbed, be signed the document and the seal was allixed amid impressive silence. A suppressed sigh from the Emper or was the only sound which broke the silence that reigned throughout the memorable scene. HAYWOOD TRIAL. Boiso.

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES. Harvey Tl. Lawrence of Calais, the l'-year old boy, who after running away from home stole the $3500 electric launch litre and navigated it a dts X I III'fill, was Friday at liar Harbor sentenced to the Stale Seltool for Boys during his minoritj. At Charleston Friday nothing had been heard further from Elmer E. Lib by, the man who assaulted himself a week ago and when found out ran away. The excitement in Charleston was short lived, and while a small par ty was out looking for the missing man on Thursday, the search was soon giv en up. In Charleston there seems to be a spirit of-indifference as to Libby's whereabouts. The only woman who ever ruled for an Auk re ap colony was Lady Car teret. Lord Carteret married for his second wife a New York widow, Mrs. William Lawrence. She was a woman of strong haraeter, and was appointed regent during his absences from the colony.

They started under favorable weather con ditions, and ns the distance to be trav eled to their first stopping place was but J11 miles, should have made it in quick time. Shortly after they left, however, a bad squall came up along the coast and many other boats that were out were obliged to lower tlails. “Voting Morrison knew nothing about l he handling of a boat and Fee was by no means.a 'dabster* in the handling of craft. The sloop was 31 l'cet and heavy ballasted and should it start to till with water would sink before it could be baled out.

"Every harbor and cove along the coast have been visited but no informa tion of the missing sloop could be learned. "At the present time Prof. Lee is at Boot him y Harbor In an endeavor to learn something of the whereabouts of the missing ones. Although every tan gible clew has been followed it has so far availed nothing. “On the day the sloop left Mere Point a small sloop, the Apache, a red colored boat, passed South Freeport and should have been in company with the missing boat at the time of the squall. It has been learned that it was owned by Dr. H. Lewis Banks, a den tist of Boston, and a communication has been sent his Boston address, ask ing his destination. It is hoped that if the occupants of the Apache can tie lo cated that something of the where abouts of the boat can lie learned. "Prof. Lee has practically given up all hope and is of the opinion that the boys ran Into a squall and not being good seamen met their fate. Had the boats been of a different typo, if the boys have lost their lives, it might have drifted and be seen by passing boats, but as it was so heavy ballasted would quickly sink under uny adverse circumstances."

Boston, July 19.—The third day of the continuous high temperature and oppressive sultriness was marked to day as on each of two preceding days by one death and a dozen prostrations. The victim of the day was the 6 months-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. DufTney of Revere. The temperature was slightly lower than yesterday, reaching but SO degrees, while the humidity was about 80.

MANY TAGS Adorn dotting oi Youth ful Immigrant. Benjamin Meyerson Aged 7 Arrives In Rev York From Minsk, Rnssia-To Join Par ents In Omaha. Xew York, July 1!>.—Adorned with a motley array of tags w hich were pin ned on his coat, shirt and trousers in many cities on the route from far-off Minsk. Russia, to this city, 4-year-oiu Benjamin Meyerson is quartered in the Hebrew Home for Immigrants in this city. He is boa ml for Omaha where his par* nts who left Russia several years ago, now reside. The boy remained with an uncle un til recently, when his parents sent for him and he was started alone on what probably has been the most remark able tourney ever taken by a little fel lcw of his age. Ben's uncle tagged him so that the railroad men might know where to ship the tiny human freight. He also appended to the Isiy's coat a request that wherever the wee journeyer stop js*d he should be bathed. The child has been scrubbed in a socre of cities. At each point where tlie boy changed cars he was re-tagged until when he arrived two days ago on the Etruria, he looked like a misshaped trunk that had gone through the grand tour. Dolls of Ancient Timos. Princess Clementine, of Belgium, youngest daughter of King Leopold, is certainly a girl to be envied. She has the most wonderful collection of dolls in the world. Not to be selfish about them, however, she has permitted them to be placed on exhibition for the benefit of the Calvary Guild for Poor Tuberculous Patients in Brussels. It is a most interesting exhibit, not only to children, but interesting in an historical sense to older people. For here are dolls of every country and of very time—dolls that the little Baby lonian maidens played with centuries before ever Christ was born: strange •lolls from Greenland, carved out ol dull from India. Greek dolls and Roman. Truly the love of dolls is the touch of nature that makes all girl children kin. The Greek dolls in this collection are rare spot linens, for not many of the.-e dolls have survived the lapse of time. Apparently the dolls of ancient Greece were quite as luxurious as the most up-to date Paris doll, for those in Princess Clementine's family have clothes made to put on and take off. beds of their own, even doll houses with furniture and dishes in them. The Roman dolls are even more anti que. They are made of ivory, wax and clay, and their little arms and legs aie pointed, just like a modern doll. The Babylonian dolls are wonderfully carved tiny figures of ivory. Some are of terra cotta. These dolls are the oldest in the collection. It is strange to think of these small puppets, onto the cherished children of some little maidens of Babylon, lying for centuries In the ruins of that city, to he ex humed at last and given to a princess of the tewentieth century. There is a Fin go native doll from the Orange Free State in the collection, which recalls a pretty custom these people have. They are wooden figures, rudely carved, but they mean a good deal, for when a Fin go girl is twelve she receives a doll, and she keeps it and nurses it until she becomes the mother of a real child. The original doll that gave the French their name for doll—“poupee” Is a member of this collection. An Italian from Padua, named Pusollo. brought this doll and a number of others to the French court during the reign of Charles VI. The dolls were all made in imitation of women of ancient Rome, and the image of Poppea—the woman Nero did to death with a kick. In that gentle little way of his—so appealed to the King when he saw it that he bought it.'

Haru-Ivo, the wife of the Mikado, is not only a woman of great intelligence tr.d erudition, but a poetess of talent; she will certainly take her place in the iterary history of her country.

I have suffered with this terrible disease for more than twenty years, until since I have been using Peruna,, which has relieved me of the' trouble. “I have tried many remedies and j spent a great deal of hard-earned money for them, but I found noth-1 ing so effectual in the cure of ca- tarrh as the great remedy Peruna. “X feel sure that Peruna is not j only a triumph of medical science, but it is also a blessing to suffering humanity. “Every individual who suffers I with respiratory diseases will find 1 Peruna a magnificent and sovereign i remedy.”—L.

The epidemic of diphtheria in Ring ham seems to have in a large meas ure abated. It was reported Thursday that there was then but one family quarantined, that of Edward Roberts, and that his two boys were getting along nicely. In the village of Moscow, three miles to the north of Bingham, two families are under quarantine, these being Miles Cates anil Mark Bean. Robbins’ circus exhibited in Bingham Monday, but played fo a small business from the fact that the disease being known few people cared to take any chances of contracting the same. W. H.

Gannett, all of Augusta, accompanied by Frank Sellerir.an of Scranton, Pa., arrived in town Thurs day noon, coming in the Peerless tour ing ear owned by W. H. Gannett. Af ter dining at the Coburn the party, •ecornpanied by Hon. Forrest Goodwin, left in a special car at 1.3rt for Madison over the line of the Somerset Traction Co. A Journal man called on Mr. Good win in his office Friday morning, it having been rumored that the line was to be sold. Mr. Goodwin stated that the gentlemen looked over the line, but that no offer was made for the road. He admitted that it was possible the trip was made by them with the idea of a possible purchase, but that this was a mere matter of guess work. At the last session of the Legislature a charter was granted for the construc tion of a trolley line from this town to Fairfield. Whether or not the contemplated purchase of the line owned by th" Som erset Traction Co. means that the road fr”in here to shawmut will be built another season or not Mr. Goodwin was unable to state. He was of the opinion, however, that the time for the construction of such a line as has been mentioned in the State press from this town tri Pittsfield, via Lake George, Canaan and Hartland. was hardly ripe, owing to th<- fart that the road would run through a not densely populated country. Additional developments will be eagerly awaited by those in tins town and Madison who are interested in the line of railroad between the two towns.

The passenger trathe has also been unusually good. The road is running excursions over its lines every week and these have been well patronized. Now that the roadbed lias been very greatly improved amt the cars put in line dress, the traffic will doubtless continue to increase more rapidly than heretofore. What might be the patronage of this rood could the Kennebec be spanned and a location for a station found on the city’s side, is a thought that comes to one who stands on the abutment for tiie bridge in Winslow and looks across at tiie prosperous city. It is not likely that the traflic over the road will con stantly increase through tiie patronage given it by Waterville merchants, and tiie road’s terminal always remain in Winslow. The day will certainly come when some way will be found to bring tiie road into this citv and Waterville receive the benefit. Already the great est railroad terminal in the State and as a consequence the real “convention center," Waterville is not yet satisfied.

Keeler Wants All Hands to Keep Quiet While He Bats. “It makes me as sore as a butcher to be bawled at when I am ui> there with the pole in my hand.” says Wnlie Keel er. "I'Ve often kicked about it and asked ’em to let that howl stuff run for Hogan when I am trying to push one to a safe spot, and, although they haven't cut it out altogether, they don't stake me to so much of the foolish talk when I am manipulating the wood as they used to. When a hitter goes tip there he has his instructions, and if he is a man of ambition and energy, and not a dub, he is going to do the thing re quired of him if he has it in. him *o do It. All the yipping and yapping in the world from the coaching boxes isn t going to be of any aid to him if he doesn’t happen to hate a hit con cealed somewhere about hir, person. And a fellow who hasn't the gumption and good gravies to try to put a good one away when he gets it up there, anti who needs to be bucked up by a mess of chirky, knock-thc-covcr-ofC conver sation from the coaching lines, doesn't belong in the game at all. “It's all right to have men in the coaching boxes to tip off men on the bases as to what's coming off on the diamond that they, the runners, may not be hep to, but I'm there with one little vote for the suppression of all those yammering noises from the coaching boxes when a man is perform ing with the baton at the plate. “Some of the Detroit players have told me that they hate the kind of coaching that Jennings stakes ttiem to when they arc up to hit. They like Hughey and get along tine with him. but they can't see that ‘Yah! yah!’ stuff with the obligato played upon the penny whistle that their manager uncoils for them when they are trying to slink by with a hit. It sounds to the fans like pretty good grease, that line of connerino stuff that Hughey .ladle--- out to the hitter—‘Ha, you’re the boy that knows how to do it; you’re the hittito that can make any club’s' heaver wish that he’d never left the old farm; you're going to paste one to where the rainbow meets the earth.' and till that sort of thing—but several .587 77 .584 7S .577 78 .47*, S*l .41 77 .377 75 .333 AT CLEVELAND.

Holyoke 4. OBJECTS TO COACHING. Should Be Only for Men on the Bases, Willie Keeler, heady ball player and virtuoso with the wood—you'll have observed how his batting percentage has been bounding along since the pessimistic tines said he was “all in early in the season—has some original views about tilings, and about coach iig in particular. "If I was an overseer and Citizen Fixit in this ball nlay'ng business,” he said to a writer in the course of a morning hotel talk in New York the other nay, "I'd smudge out the coach ing business altogctlur, except for the men on the bases. It's all right to talk about ‘pep’ and ‘ginj,’ but there’s a lot of this coaching of the batsman that is foolish and worse. “I’ve got to be shown how it helps a man’s chance to paste the ball to have his fellow players bawling at him from the coaching boxes. It never got me anything in the way of hits, that kind of yowling. In fact, I am sure that it lias taken a lot of hits away from me. If a man is going to hit that pill, he'll hit it without the aid of a, lot of heateil vapor funneled at him by the talkists oil ttie coaching lines. Their conversation isn’t going to lend any keenness to his wicks or any fiower to his arms. "As a matter of faet, a lot of the coaching of the hitter aetually diseon cerls the man who is up there to swat it. It makes him nervous and fidgety. He falls to thinking more about what the coachcrs are saying than of the job lie has in mind. It is especially injurious in its effect upon young players. A young fellow who is not used to the gaff stands up there, swinging the wood and fully deter mined to lambaste it on the beak if he can, and then the fellows in the coach ing box l>cgin to funnel stuff at him. He tries to give ear to what they re saying at the same time that he s watching out for the kind of groove the (linger is going to make with the ball. The coaching stuff gives him too keen an impression of what is expected of hint and that rattles him. liis heart begins to thump with the responsibility and the nerves in bis arms to dance-. He is all *bet up,’ so to speak, under the incessant tire of so-called encour aging gulf that silts Into his ears from Hie coaching boxes, and his chances of catching the pellet on the nose, or even of laying one down, are vastly decreased through that sort of nervousness. “I know plenty of old-timers, too, who inwardly hate the coaching busi ness when they've got the wood in their mitts, although they dislike to say anything about it, seeing that the kinky idea appears to be deeply grounded that the more a batsman is howled at the more likely he is to get away with something. If you were shaving, how would you like to have vnnr wife for instance, stand by and coach you as to the way you ought to perform the job? Suppose she were to say, ‘All, that was a neat down ward stroke. You sure did push in a lot of those rough spikes of yours with that stroke. Now. over the chin. Careful, careful! You want to get it off with a couple of swift downward sweeps, but don’t take a chance on cut ting yourself. Whoa, there! You came mighty near giving yourself a gouge then. Look out, there, or you’ll cut that ear right off! Oh, you are the shave artist all right—you know how to handle the steel about as well as any of ’em—but be sure and get it good and close—shave yourself about four days under the skin and you’ll have it about right. Look out for that mole there UijiVr your left ear that’s covered up with lather—whoa! you came near cut ting it right off then, and if you did that you’d bleed for a whole day. There you go, now, over on the right side,’ and so on. "How long would a man stand for that kind of coaching from his spouse while he endeavored to remove the hirsute from his countenance? About three and one-eighth seconds, eh? Well, while this may be a somewhat stretched parallel, the principle is about the same. A man who is en gaged In an operation every bit as squinky as the operation of shaving, and the thing that he requires more than anything else is peace of mind, the calmness which will enable him to address himself to the task of analyz ing the tosser’s curves and out-guess ing him if possible—and that's about an a nmer can ao ac any nme, wiumui trying to keen his ears open for a whole parcel of superfluous and un necessary gah from the coachers.” A SPIRITED CONTEST. Jack Twin and Black Fitzsimmons Put Up Good Bout At Bar Harbor. Bar Harbor, Me., July 19.—The box ing exhibition here tonight between Jack (Twin) Sullivan of Boston and Black Fitzsimmons of Hartford, Conn., was a spirited go In which Sullivan showed the most skill, although both men left the ring in good condition. There could be no decision under the Maine law.

Naturally the question arose as to whether it was the dove of peace. Some of the members ear nestly hoped that it was.—Hartford Times.

Little Willie Keeler Says That Nicotine Does Him Lots of Good. Wee Willie Keeler’s analysis of his poor hatting form in the early part of tne season is just as original as his iews on the coaching business. ‘‘I wasn't smoking enough—that's what ailed my hitting in the beginning of the season." was the startling way of putting it. “Nothing else in the world was behind it except the fact that I wasn't using enough tobacco. I cut down my daily ration of cigars last fall, and stuck to the cutdown. and that's why I was hitting about .006 or something like that early in the season. ■'Now, you may consider that I'm getting this statement out of my system for the sake of trying to look peculiar and odd and eccentric and all like that, but that's not the dope on it at all. I am stating what I believe to be the simple fact. During all of the years when I was up near or at the front of the hitters, I was smoking all the way from 15 to 25 strong black cigars every day of my life. I've been a hard smoker ever since I was ankle high to a sand gnat, and I always thrived on nicotine. But. after the close of the season last fall. I sufTffered a bit of an attack of stomach trouble, and the medical sharp in Brooklyn to whom I carried my troubles found out, by pumping me carefully, what a heavy smokist I was. and he sat down hard upon me. Told me that I'd have to chop that big cigar ration down to three fuineros per diem, otherwise he wouldn't be responsible for my life and all like that sad stuff. Well, I was willing to give him a chance on his theory, and I did cut it down to three cigars a day, although I am bound to say that life under those altered con ditions sure lost a lot of its savor for me. But I got well and fattened up on the restricted smoking regimen, and so I decided to stay with the three smokes-a-day system right along. I did stay with it right through till the season this year was well underway. I found it a whole lot more difficult, though, in traveling about in the cars and in sitting around in hotel lobbies, with all hands smoking, to stick to my cutdown cigar ration than 1 had found 't while living at home during the winter. In fact, the deprivation of in cessant smokes began to get a heap on my nerves. I found that I was fighting the desire to smoke pretty much all the time anti that the fight took a lot out of my nervous organization. Then, of a sudden, I made up my mind that 1 was going to smoke all I wanted to smoke like I’d been used to smoking ever since I reached the shaving age, and I got baek to my old-time number of cigars a day. My improvement in hitting began right then. “Mind, I'm not advocating this scheme for all hands. I never advo 1 cate anything for anybody except my 1 seif. But nicotine, and a whole lot of it, seems to bp a poison that my system requires and yells for. It acts as a sedative on me, and keeps me tuned up to convert pitch. I don't drink at all, and never did. hut I sure do seem to require the stimulus of all the tobaccX) I can incinerate between the time I get up iti the morning and the hour I seek the feathers at night. “The reason, no doubt, why what you might call the excessive use of tobacco doesn't affect me in any but an actually improving way is probably that I never by any chance inhale any tobacco smoke. I don't believe that tobacco smoke was ever meant to be Inhaled. There isn’t any doubt in the world that inhaling the smoke does effort llTirl jnrlntlattr •■ffont V. wicks of plenty of players. They themselves admit it, and they ought to know. It doesn't make and difference what kind of smoke is inhaled, it hurts. Plenty of players knock ofr smoking cigarettes during the playing season for the purpose of giving the batting lamps a chance to keen up, and take to smoking a pipe. But they inhale their pipe tobacco, and that hurts just as much as inhaling the cigarette smoke, and maybe more, because of the greater strength of the tobacco smoked in pipes. I believe that smoking is not injurious at all to the batting eye of anybody if the smoke is not Inhaled, but it sure is deadly when the smoke is pulled into the lungs." v* CASH PATTON.

Philadelphia, July 19 —If Bob Fitz simmons and Jack JohDSon ever get their money lor tttWr fight at the Washington Sporting- Club Wednes day night they must go to court for it. After consulting counsel the officials of the club have come to the conclu sion that the two fighters are not en titled to any money, the contention lieitig that the men did not put up a real fight. The club will file a bond to cover the attachments on the boxers' end of the receipts and then they will go into court for the purpose of pre venting tli** payment of the two fight ers. In reference to this matter Mr. Creenlec, one of the officers of the club, says: "My legal advisers are of the opin ion that the men did not earn their money and we are justified in not pay ing. We do not want to keep the mon ey, hut if the courts decide in our favor we will return it to all patrons who present c^ipons. We only desire to prove to the public that we were not a party to any prearranged fight.” This view of the situation is laugh ed at hero and ft is recalled that the same club, not long ago, tried to with a purse ot ynwj irom Greenfield, an English boxer, on the ground that he was not the fighter lie pretended to be. In the ease of Johnson and Fitz simmons it is pointed out that Man ager M''Carney forfeited all right to such action when he jumped into the ring in the first round and ordered the men to fight, even after he had been informed of the condition of Fitzsim mons' arm. It is felt here that both fighters will get the money. TAKING A VACATION. Rouse O'Brien Resting After a Strenu ous Campaign In Gotham. Boston, July 1!».—Rouse O'Brien, the South Boston featherweight, who has been in New York several w'eeta.- je turned home yesterday. Rouse stated that he came back to rest tip. “I have been constantly employed since visiting Gotham,” said Rouse, “and I met the toughest men' they could produce over there. I bested the entire bunch with the exception of Murphy, and hut for the punch which he sneaked in on a breakaway just tie fore the gong rang for the end of the bout I think I would have had a shade on him, too. "It Is my intention to lay oft for at least six weeks, until the hot spell Is over, when I shall be ready to engage in fights again. 1 am not averse to meeting Dave Deshler, Matty Baldwin or Jimmy Briggs, hut I prefer Briggs at present, for I believe I can beat him and win the title of New England 1 i o ll t o*oi rr t ,»liI,, I•« ioB Ka, 1, 1 al "However, It will be first come first served after my vacation is over."

Cruse, who died at 11 o’clock after a heroic fight of four days for his life, in the Chelsea Naval hospital. Major J. T. Cruse, U. S. A., of Omaha, Neb., was with his son when he die.l, as was the midshipman’s mother, brother and uncle. Col. Hodgdon, C. S. A. Major Cruse and party went to Washington, P. C., tonight and the body of the midshipman will be sent at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning for in terment with naval honors in the ceme tery at Arlington. Midshipman Alfred W. Brown, Jr., of the'battleship Georgia will act as honorary guard over the body on the way to Washington. Brown was a roommate of Cruse aboard the battle ship. By request of Major Cruse three classmates of Cruse will be honorary pall bearers with seven midshipmen. At the 1’nited States naval hospital it Chelsea tonight it’was stated that the condition of Seamen Louis O. Mm which to gather the nectar and pollen which furnish them food. The most attractive flow ers are not the ones from which the bees gather most of their honey. In the Hast, white clover, sweet clover, linden, buckwheat, Spanish needle, lo custs, golden rod and asters are among the best honey plants; while. In the West, the vast fields of alfalfa and the countless square miles of sage on the hills afford forage that is unsur passed. It is not necessary that bees have close access to vast areas of forage; they may even be kept In the middle of a city. In Washington, there are many small apiaries In back yards, on housetops and in vacant lots, where the surplus honey obtained compares favorably in quantity and quality with that from apiaries more favorably lo cated. The same is true of all our cities. Bee keepers are a kindly lot of men and usually are glad to render any possible assistance to. the tyro. If possible, then, go to.some man of ex perience and watch him at work—it will well repay the beginner. When bees are purchased, they should be in a simple hive of standard size. There are many different hives on the market, but the beginner can not be supposed to go into the pros and cons of the various kinds, and it is best in every way to get a ten-frame standard hive, simple in construction and easily manipulated. When the bees arrive, put the colony in as se cluded a place as possible, so that the bees will not interfere with the peace of mind of passersby—not to mention their physical comfort. The hive must be so placed that it can be manipulat ed freely. After dusk, remove the wire morning comes the bees will come out, orient themselves in their new loca tion an rapidly.

Mr. Henry Ridgely Evans, the erudite and ingenious author of “The Old and the New Magic.” tells of one Tehateha-etn ankii. who gave a show by command of King Khufti (3766 Ft. C.), and who seems to have performed with success the decapitation trick, and. further, to have been something of a beast-tamer as well as an illusionist. Probably, however, the art in more or less primitive form flourished in yet re moter ages, and the question of how much more remote seems to open a vista to the curious Inquirer. Perhaps Mr. Andrew I-ang can tell. Of modern conjurers. Robert-Houdin is generally taken to be the ancestor; but he himself would hardly have claimed the title. He derived. In fact, from Pinetti, to go no further back, who invented, or it-may be, rediscov ered, the second-sight mystery where with the namft:' of Robert-Houdin (originally Robert without the Houdin) is connected. This mystery is, in other words, “thought-reading," and the methods by which, for conjurers’ purposes, it is worked are not very recondite. A "code” is naturally the basis, as it may have been the basis of the oracles; and the mastery of such a code makes the greatest demands on the readiness, quickness, and memory of those who undertake to practise it. The mere list of common objects to be kept in the mind and ended as used by Heller, who followed in the steps of Houdin, is bewildering. To what per fection the curious art of using such a code can be brought is well shown by the record of one of Houdin’s tri umphs. An old lady, bent on discom fiting the wizard, formed one of his audience, and had brought with her a brown-paper parcel, very carefully tied and sealod. At a given moment she defied Houilin and his son, who was playing the part of the “seer,1' to describe its contents. Houdin held her in conversation for a few min utes. and then, speaking for the first time to the blindfolded “seer,” asked what was in the still tied and sealed parcel. Young Houdin declared with equal promptness and accuracy that the parcel contained a handkerchief and a packet of snuff. Tlie most famous of Houdin’s achievements in seeming "magic”—not his only one, for he did wondrous things when he was sent into Algeria to overcome the magic of the native sorcerers, and completely succeeded in his mission—was the orange-tree trick, performed at a “command’’ exhibition before the King. Louis-Philippe. The trick is intricate, but the problem lay In this—that the King, having chosen one from many handkerchiefs, was asked to determine its temporary abiding-place. He chose the last orange tree on the right of the St. Cloud avenue; he sent one of his household to watch the avenue and the tree-box, wherein another atten dant presently found the handkerchief. Houdin added to his performance of the trick a flourish of reference to Cagliostro. This, however, was what Houdin himself would have called a mystifica tinr»_ His flnost morit as a nnhlir* n»»r former lay in lifs mastery of “sleight of-hand,” a seienee which, of course, played some part in the orange-tree adventure. Sleight-of-hand pure and simple has always possessed and always will pos sess a peculiar charm. The only thing to he deplored about it is that it lends itself to exploitation by per sons of the baser sort, whose bewilder ing varieties of method have been well described by Hubert Iloudin in “L'Art tie On gin r a Tons les Jeux,” and by Mr. Maskelyne in "Sharps and Flats.” The real experts in these methods, the high-tot y men. to borrow a metaphor from another branch of their trade, might, one would think, have found tlielr account in taking to honest con juring ns Vidncq did to “deteeting"; but that is part of a very big question. —St. James's Gazette. WOMEN AS FARMERS. Success of Some Who Have Taken Claims in the Northwest. In the great Candian Northwest, where the erstwhile wilderness Is wav ing with golden grain nnd towns tire springing up overnigJrt,1 not a few wo men have gone to seek their fortunes alone. A homestead grant of lGil acres is free, and any “head of a family,” man or woman, may secure it upon application to the Canadian govern ment. rsually, of course, the appli cant is a man, but occasionally a wo man essays to make her fortune on the prairies without masculine aid. Miss Marie Gilroy of Saskatchewan, is one of the most famous woman set tlers of the West. She put her last shilling into a prairie farm and spent seven years in a hand-to-hand tusle with fortune, sitting on her own hin der, cutting her own grain, handling the plow in the furrow and doing sta ble duty. In 1908 her holding excited ttie admiration of a young Englishman, and Miss Gilroy was induced to hand over lock, stock and barrel to him for tin* round sum of $1.r>,000. Today Miss Gilroy is touring Europe on the pro ceeds of her original $2,000 Mrs. MeGilvray, who came to the Canadian west twenty years ago wun six small children, is another prom inent woman farmer of Saskatchewan. Beginning almost penniless, her lfiO acres of homestead have now grown to an S00-acre estate, anil her children are settled round her in comfort and affluence. Salome Wert man came with her hus band anti Utile family from Russia and soon she, too, was a widow. She still kept on “trying to earn bread,” as she says, and sixteen years later after her absolute penniless start she stands as one of the successful land owners of Saskatchewan. Mrs. Ferris is known ns the "woman farmer” of the Portage Plains. I>“ft wiih a family of young children, she has managed her farm most success fully sinre the death of her husband. She comes from Relfast, Ireland, and when she arrived In Western Canada with her husband thirty-two years ago they had no capital at all. She now has an estate of "fib acres, and her two son= are settled near at hand, each the owner of a half section of land—about r/Mi acres. Mrs. Grant has n beautiful farm on the banks of the Canadian Killarnev, in Southern Manitoba. Three years ago she went there from Scotland with her son. a young man just out of col lege nnd tier daughter. A year ago. Just as they were preparing for spring seeding, the son was stricken down with appendicitis, and in twenty-four hours was dead. Filled with hatred for the place, she decided to leave it. but the morning after her son’s fu neral. when she was packing up. her daughter called to her, "Mother, com« here, quirk!” She Inked and saw that men. teams and plows, quietly and without a word of explanation, were beginning work on the farm. The neighbors had decided to put in the season’s crop for the two bereaved wo men. They actually plowed, harrowed, seeded and reaped the entire crop. Af ter that Mrs. Grant talked no more of going "hoine.” Her farm by the shores of the Canadian Killarnev was home to her. Many women teachers, too, are THE DAILY MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Featuraa of th« Day’s Dealing in All ths Leading Stocks. New York. July 19.—The operations for a rise In prices of slocks were continued today. The movement encountered less active resistance than for several days In the form of positive weakness tn any prominent stocks. There were apparent difficulties in overcoming the inertia of the general list and this drag on the ad vance offered a passive resistance which had a dscouraging effect on the efforts of the bulls at times. The prineipal ammunition of the hulls consisted of vague intimations of some fortheoming favorable development re garding the Hill railroad stocks. Great Northern preferred stock took the pre cedence in the movement from Northern Pacitie. witch was the favorite in yester day's dealings. Other Northwestern rail road stocks shored in tlje strength of the Hill group. Tile rise in the llarrimans was more moderate, although t’nion Paeilic touched it tie highest price on the present movement. Substantial help for the rise In prices was found in the l*tler feeling regarding the market for copper metal, which pre vailed hot It here and abroad. Foreign stock markets had a report oi an agree ment between the Amalgamated copper and the Rio Tinto interests on the price •to be demanded. The price of copper in I-endon advanced. The continuance of call loans and the prospects for a favorable bank statement tomorrow were elements n strength. Sterling exchange rose higher today. The activity of the market fell to small proportions in the latter half of the day and advances were only partly retained.

Every cock-eyed man is now figuring •n the yellow journals as a “Japanese E'py."___ The humorist of the Watervilie Sen tinel still continues to add to the gay ety of nations. In enumerating the summer heroes of 1907 it would not be right to over took tiie umpires. The Fairbanks presidential boom does not appear to be expanding during this warm weather. We have as yot noticed no wave of enthusiasm tor Jlenrv Watterson’s “dark horse” rolling up from the sunny South. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says she does her best work on a diet of prunes and milk.—Exchange. We had suspected as much from her writings. We should pause and reflect a mo no tit these sultry summer days tin the deplorable plight of the millions of our fellow citizens who live outside of Maine. Mayor Schmitz of San Prand.ini iwvs In- will tun again; l>ut It Is only .1 dream. When he gets out of prison he will find that he has become a reminisce nee. Now that the 1’resiilent has taken a little strenuous recreation in a hayfleld. the Killed humorist of the Waterville Sentinel is furnished with a theme worthy of his powers. Tin- Washington Star declares that tile present summer the Japanese spy has taken the (dace of the sea serpent. There will be one or two sighted during the season at most every popular resort. Now the man who invented the Teddy hear is under arrest. No, it is not for that.—Chicago News. We had always understood that it was really a woman who invented the Teddy bear. Hereafter baseball In Augusta will probably remain in local hands. Any outsider who butts in from this time forth will strike an atmosphere that will frery.e his fingers stiff and hard before they have a chance to close on any .if our coin. Henry Watterson declares that no Democrat can win next year without Mr. Itryan's hacking. Tin* only candi date who will get that is a certain well known Democratic leader from Neb raska and the chances are that he will not be nominated. The fact that not a single cadet has died from disease at West Point In 12 years also testifies to the salu hriotisncss of that beautiful plateau.— Boston Herald. And also the health giving qualities of tin* methodical life. It is well to re member that cadets at West Point are obliged to pass a very thorough and Very critical physical examination tie fore they are admit toil there. When the million mark in immigra tion was passed last year for the first time in nur national history, it was considered a remarkable thing, as in deed it was, and l>y many it was con sidered an ominous thing, seriously menacing our national welfare and calling for much more stringent re strictions governing immigration. Dur ing the t|peal year which ended with the beginning of the present month, a much higher mark has been reached in immigration, over a million and a quarter aliens arriving, or 1.28.1,349 to be exact. With the beginning of the present fiscal year, however, new and more stringent immigration laws go into effect and it will lie interesting to note liow materially they effect the tide of newcomers. Iceland, it appears, has developed an ambition to sot Itself up in business as an Independent nation, being inspired very likely by the success of Norway in breaking away from its alliance with Sweden. Iceland has long been a de|tendency of Denmark and it does not appear that It has any special grievances. The announcement of an early visit of King Christian to Iceland is doubtless designed to quiet the se cession spirit. Tlie subject of Iceland as an independent republic is an inter esting one to consider in such broiling times as we have been enduring of late; and, by the way, on the very probable Idea that there is more or less of a relation between political science and the temperature, it would lie in teresting to see how Iceland could com- j pare with the little republics in the tropics in an attempt to manage its own affairs. Total Prohibition in Georgia. The friends of the licensed saloon got a severe blow in the action of Georgia which is soon to become a prohibition state, with a prohibitory law applying to the whole state as rigid as that in force in Maine. Southern sentiment in favor of temperance and the more rigorous regulation of the liquor traffic has made remarkable progress in recent years and in .many of those states where county option has been the law a large majority of the counties have voted no license. This has been true of Georgia, of whose 145 counties only 13 have regularly voted license, those being the counties where the large cities are located. In Kentucky, which is not commonly thought of as a temperance state, fully four-fifths of the counties are now without a saloon as a result of this county option sys tem, and the same is true of Tennessee and Texas. But now Georgia does not propose to allow the sale of liquor, with the sanction of the law, in even 15 of Its 145 counties. After January 1, 1908, the whole state will be under a prohim tory law. This new law passed the Georgia senate by a vote of 33 to 7 although the liquor interest maintained a powerful lobby anil exhausted their resources in fighting the measure. We have not at hand the vote by which it passed the House but it was by a margin almost as overwhelming. The friends of license and of the saloon will be dishartened by this latest triumph ,unr iruusc*. ii mueeu a notable victory and Its influence throughout the country Is likely to be far reaching. The Manufacturing States. The Massachusetts labor bureau has just issued a bulletin which contains an interesting account of the growth of manufacturing in the states of the Union that during the past year have produced more than two per cent of the total manufacturing output of the country.

It is interesting to note from the above table that 13 of the 45 states in the Union, none of the 13 being in the South, manufacture nearly SO per cent of everything that is manu factured in tlie whole country. Though New England was in the old times the seat of nearly all the manufacturing industries in the country, and is com monly spoken of as the great manu facturing section, only two New Eng ■l oiYWkiicr tlwiCA 19 Vf ehusetts, which for many years ranked higher, is now fourth anil Connecticut ranks 11th. Of course, the cheaper fuel of tile West anil the groat and glowing buying population of that section have been factors in ttie swerv ing of tlie center of production from New Kngland to the westward. The Silly Season. Each year there comes a period in midsummer which is usually referred to as the silly season. This designa tion is mainly the result of the at tempts of newspaper writers, usually writers of the sensational and un scrupulous sort, to furnish reading matter at a time legitimate news is scarce. It is the vacation season when there is a perceptible lull in the world's activities and this condition of things, coupled with effect of the hot weather upon the already overheated imagina tions of the kind of newspaper writers mentioned above, results in the ap pearance of the sea serpent off the coast, the mohilia/.tion of a Japanese army in Mexico preparing to devastate California, the launching of impossible lirpttillldlli'll li.wooe in the Sunday editions of symposiums on such vital questions as the proper length of bathing suits and whether osculation or whiskey causes the great er amount of trouble in the world. These things ami dozens of others along the same lines can be found In the newspapers each year when the silly season comes along. Everybody knows what to expect at this time and makes due allowance for the startling stories and absurd rumors which make their appearance. One newspaper writer comes to the defense of the silly season with the declaration that the name implies a measure of derogation which does not properly belong to it. He urges that the season derives its name front the Anglo-Saxon word "saelig" which means •'happy,'’ “blessed.” It is related to the Italian “dolce far niente.” It is the midsum mer period of pleasant relaxation, when all the unpleasant clamors of life dwindle. From the news standpoint the time may be one of comparative emptiness, but yet it is not a silly sea son in the sense of mental imbecility. However much truth there may be In this pretty theory of the origin of the name, the unhappy fact remains that many enterprising space writers con tinue to look upon it as the silly season in the sense In which the word silly 1.“ usually employed. Maine Gossip Joys of Summer. \Voodiand passes, Moss and glasses. Buttercups that vie with gold; Bed the rose. Its fragrance sweet, Good’s in all things I behold.

Maine never before had such a sum mer for drowning accidents. Biddeford is no longer worried about its ball team being too fast for the other Maine teams. Six excursions to Old Orchard to morrow, and hogsheads of sand will be carried away in pockets and shoes. ITp goes the price of those famous shore dinners at New Meadows, but it is not anticipated that the place will be wholly deserted on that account. t li A rfioctruiL* T .do criiii tliLiv /.I ii 11 be having as fast baseball as in the Maine League, anil they are having no trouble with the financial end of the proposition. It is a little difficult just now to get interested in the fall fairs, but the managers are beginning to confide to the newspapers the great attractions that will be offered. Things are humming along the new lines that will close the links in the electric road system from Lewiston to Waterville by way of Gardiner and Augusta. Stamped envelopes are higher, but the price of stamps remains the same and allows the same margin of profit to the druggist who carries them as a side line.* That $700 robbery of a prosperous farmer in Charleston proves to have been a fake and the man who went out to the barn at 2 A. M. and pound ed his own head with a baseball bat has now taken to the woods to escape his creditors. Tourists are talking about the de lightful climate of the Maine coast, and the letters which go back to the sweltering cities are full of praise for our situation and the comfortable weather conditions of our summers. If you hear anybody finding fault with the weather you may be sure it is a native, who lias not had opportunity to compare conditions here with those existing elsewhere. There promises to be all kinds of overcrowding in the Portland schools when tliey open in September. In the High school there will be nearly ion more pupils than last year and also large increases in many of the lower grades. That Skowhegan man who, thought he had aught a lobster in a stream in Moscow has been showing his prize to the scientists and they tell him that it is some variety of crawfish. Thus fadeth a vision of Somerset county re inforcements for the vanishing supply of the great coast luxury. The great grandchildren of the late Major William Cunningham, eighty in number and many of whom live In Maine, have after more than 100 years at last recovered damages for the good ship Poily, which was confiscated about 1S00 by the French. The Polly was built in Ueifast and was engaged in carrying freight between the United States and Kngland. She was cap tured by a French privateer, with other I nited States vessels. for which claims were made by this government and allowed when the Uouisiana pur chase was made of France in 1801. Penalise the wiremen for the Atlan tic Shore electric road wore to cut the limb off a tree on her property, Mrs. George Uragdon of Wells rapped ine tree in the United States colors and draped a lias from the limb to be sacrificed and Ihen stood under the tree and for several hours hold at bay the force of wiremon. de lving them to “pull down the flag.” Mrs. Bragdon had no objeetion to the rails of the Atlantic Shore Bine railway passing in front of her house, but when the wiremen started to trim a small elm tree on her prop, erty that spread over the tracks of the road she made a protest. A little money consideration gave things a different aspect and the flag was re moved from the tree. The Camden Herald tells a story of a smart man who attended the recent races in that town. He was James Dilloway of Stockton Springs, who dp July 4th was »2 years old and he was as bright and smart appearing as any i0 year old on the grounds. He drove through from Stockton Springs the 20 mile ride not tiring him at all Tie is a native of Belfast, but for the past five years has lived in Stockton Springs He was a cooper by trade but followed the sea some years and wns part of the time on a farm. He takes care of a fine garden. having planted a bushel of potatoes this spring, besides corn, beans, cucumbers, etc. His eye is bright and his com plexion clear. He can read without glasses. He has taken excellent care of himself all his life and has always been entirely temperate. He loves to bacco and has used it all his life. Mrs. Thomas Baker of Hath has just received two letters which are of the utmost interest‘to her, as they were mailed 32 years ago to her husband, who never reeelved them, and 1 ave just been returned by the Mexican government. Her husband. Capt, Bu ker, was traveling along the Mexican coast in a Bath sailing vessel, and Mrs. Buker kept in constant cor respondence \v ith him. Two of the let ters written by her were never re ceived by him, however, and the mat ter always remained a mystery. She was greatly surprised when the let ter carrier delivered at her door two old-fashioned envelopes which bore the Impiints of many cancellings and which also had the official command of Mexican postal officials to return to the sender. The envelopes had grown yellow with age anil looked as if they had been tucked away in some pigeon hole for many years. Kt Is said that the finest summer es tate on all the Maine coasts will be that of William A. Rogers of Buffalo, at Kennebunk. He purchased 155 acres of land at Kennebunk and expects to have his elegant summer mansion ready for occupancy by next* season. Landscape gardeners are now busily engaged laying out the grounds which will consist of lawns, parks and gar dens of beautiful design. The house and other buildings comprising the estate will lie of the Knglish Kliza bethan style and it is said the finish ings are to be very elaborate both in side and out. One building of the property has figured in American his tory tind Mr. Rogers has instructed that it he preserved for the present. me House reterred to was a garrison during one of the early Indian wars and was built in 1730. Formerly the Rogers estate was owned by John C. Mitchell of Roston, and until Mr. Rogers made the purchase it had been the property of the Mitchell family. Mr. Rogers is a man of middle life. He has accuinmulated wealth in the opera tion of numerous blast furnaces manu facturing the pig iron. His bttsint ss has spread throughout this country, and is represented in many cities. For many years Mr. Rogers and h>s family have spent their summers in the Kasr, and the Maine resorts have been most attractive to them. It is not Mr. Rogers’ intention to spend any time at his estate outside of the summer months. VOICES OF THE PRESS. The Presidents Luck. (Washington Star.) President Roosevelt’s luck continues unbroken. A French paper criticises him and London Punch cartoons him. His home popularity is not likely to wane in such circumstances. Avoid Crowded Steamers. (Spokane Spokesman-Re view.) The overcrowding of passenger steamers, especially on excursions, is recognized as a serious evil, and yet everywhere the tendency in this dan gerous direction seems to be increas ing.

Philadelphia. July 19.—Of the thou sands of persona overcome by the heat while watching the Klks’ parade yes ti rday, about 100 spent the night In the hospitals. Many of them were dis charged today. The number of deaths due more or less directly to the heat and humidity numbered four anti there are about a dozen cases considered dangerous. The dead are residents of this city and those still in a serious condition are also Philadelphians. The Philadelphia police, hospital authorities and emergency corps are receiving con gratulations today for the efficiency displayed in yesterday’s crisis. The big feature of Klks’ week being over, thousands of visitors left town today. There is still a great number here, however. Many devoted the day to a pilgrimage to historic Valley Forge, where United States Senator Knox, whose residence adjoins Wash ington's campgrounds, delivered an ad ('ivss of a historic nature to the Klks. Another feature arranged was a trip on the Delaware river with stops at the shipbuilding plants, the League Is land navy yard anil other places. Lo ginning at 11 o’clock tonight, the Pen and Pencil Club entertained visiting Klks at “A Night in Bohemia.” The official records show that 79,000 persons registered at the registration bureaus.

AFTER FORTY YEARS Brother and Sister Have Joyous Re union at Ocean City. Ocean City, July 19.—Jospeh Robin son if this city, who is known to tlie residents as the “Governor of the Is land,” was made happy recently by a visit from his sister, whom he had not seen in 10 years. The sister’s name is Mrs. Mary Hittmar, and site lives at Minntola. X. J., hut until a short time ago site did not know when- her broth er was or whether lie was living or dead. Mrs. F.

Dunns the past few years great In terest has been taken in the develop ment of dry fanning in the,semi-arid West. The Campbell system Is best known in this connection, and Mr. Campbell, who has taken great inter est in tlie work, has induced one or two Western railroads to carry along experiments along their lines. Two years ago the government, through the state experiment stations of Montana, Wyoming and some other Western states has also made Inves tigations and conducted some interest ing experiments. The rainfall in the semi-arid regions during the past three years, has been above normal and the government lias therefore not tested dry farming un der abnormal conditions and the re sults are yet very much in doubt. Lands in the semi-arid regions is abundant and cheap and settlers are tempted to try their fortunes,1 upon them. Water is the one element that is needed to make these lands very productive. Tlie rains in these regions come in the form of sudden and heavy show ers and the problem is to conserve this moisture and prevent it from running off the surface. Prof. George II. Failyer, of tlie Government Department I(f Soils, says that to enable tlie water to run down quickly into tlie lower soil, n deep bed of porous soil must prepared. It should be a mellow, el ise-grained mass, without any tendency to be come solid or stick together. In or der to preserve this condition, con stant and careful cultivation must lie practiced. Mr. Campbell’s method is to culti vate tlie soil immediately after every rain and in order to make this work effective, it should lie carried on day and night until the growing crops are all cultivated. In preparing the soil for tlie crops, the plowed ground is parked with an Implement especially devised for tlie purpose. A good plan is to disc the part plowed during tin* forenoon before go ing in at noon time and again to disc that part plowed in tlie afternoon be fore quitting work for the day. Cultivation is then kept up almost constantly until tlie growth of tlie crops is assured. Where wheat, oats, or any crop that is harvested in tile summer, is grown, the ground should lie stirred as soon after tlie removal of the crop as pos sible. Any rains that come previous to plowing will he taken up by the disced land belter than lie tin. drv stubble ground. f On ground covered with crops liar vested in the fall, double discing may be done before freezing weather comes. The principle is to keep the ground in such condition that it will absorb all rain that falls and then maintain a light mulch on top to prevent Its evap oration. In planting corn in the semi-arid regions the lister has been successfully used. This plow throws the soil out on either side and the corn is drilled in the bottom of the furrow, either by a drill attachment or by a separate drill. By frequent cultivation of sallow laijn uoove iicsomicii. moisture mat fulls this year may be stored for next year's crops. In this way crops have sometimes been prawn once in two years when the crops every year on the same land have failed. Plants that have been grown many years in dry climates should be se lected for dry farming and only about one-half the seed should be sown that is used in humid regions. Farmers who contemplate moving to the semi-arid regions should investi gate carefully the possibilities of the particular region in which they expect to -settle. They should be provided with sufficient means to carry them at CHOLERA MORBUS Craig Pate SANFORD’S GINGER Quickly Cured by SANFORDS GINGER Cholera morbus, cramps, pains, and stomach and bowel troubles caused by hot weather, iced or impure water, unripe fruit, change of water, food, and climate instantly relieved by SAN FORD’S GINGER, purest of warming stomachics.

It is a portion of the department labeled offl einllj "Creek and Homan Antiques,” hut these particular antiquities are of inure than ordinary interest. Here, in a modest showcase in the Terra Cotta Room—almost unnoticed by the se rious-minded people who spent a por tion of their Whitsun holiday in the great museum— is a wonderful revela tion of the child mind of two thousand years ago. What were the thought# arid desires of the children of ancient .Athens or Rome? Very similar to those of the children of modern London, to judge front tno contents of this showcase. The most striking obiget in the exhibi tion is si rag doll—a, fragile, dilapi dated little figure, \iffiich looks as though a strong gust of wind would reduce it to ashes. It was fondled and worshipped 1600 yars ago by some little Homan maidens who prot»ably re garded it as lieu most precious posses sion. lJolls there are of many kinds— wood and bone apd earthenware—in the showcase, but none quite so fas cinating ns this ofle." Vet the carved and beaten figures have an interest i'll' t llfdl' Itll'tl (kfltlin I if tlmm nun oloifoe bits of workmanship, though their youthful owners would weep to see them now. 'For scarcely one of them has been handed down the long ages with its anatomy complete. Many are without arms and legs; some have lost an ear, or a nose, or a port-ton of the head: a few are battered and bruised almost beyond recognition. Most heart rending of all, there is quite a con siderable collection of disjointed limbs for which no bodies have been found it is interesting to notice that many of tlie little images are jointed: and that the legs and arms may be moved up and down. lint apparently the doll maker of those far off days had n»t conceived the.idea of a toy baby that could ejaculate "Mamma.” Near the rag doll is a baby’s shell-^ like rattle which beasts an antiquity of 2700 years.

On another, tablet, a wooden one, are engraved six lines of Homer. The curved liairtdlo •suggests that this once hung on vail of some ancient seminary. Pon.T of reed and bronze, ink wells, and Ir.igments of written exercises, tell ot scholastic efforts that were prob ably tlie results of much travail.

Antique Watches. Considerable deception has been practiced on the unwary by the scale of so-called antique watches. It is a common tiling for the expert horolo dist to find ordinary modern watches sflt in manufactured antique cases. Some of those counterfeits are so In geniously made as to deceive even the watch connoisseur. There arc certain marks, however, which serve as a fair guide to the au thenticity of an antique watch, and the following hints will be useful in deter mining the age and value of old watches: According to the authorities, the lirst watch was invented about the year 1.01. The original pocket timepiece was cylindrical in shape and made en tirely ,,f iron. including the plates, Pinions, wheels and pillars. Watches ol oval form did not appear earlier than about ir,50. Most of them date back to the period around 1600.
