The Grandest State in the Union the Breeding of Trotters, Runners and Draft Horses, for The First of Every Good Work. The Last to Cry Quit. Columbus In "Western Sportsman. ansas: A state asso ciated in the minds of many with thought of drouths, grasshoppers, priva tions and disppoint ments; a state which has a history peculiarly its own, and whose people have become a part l and portion of her varied misfortunes and changeable re wards; a state born out of fire and blood and baptized with -Tl MiXt. Ul UUIDC9 jifcand martyrs: a state '.possessing a climate Sfc?second to none, and especially auapteu ?to the successful breeding of nil kinds .of domesticated ani- i -Ji3) mels; such a state certainly deserves more than passing no lle e. Such delightful weather as the people of Kansas enjoy during the pleasant days of spring and autumn! And I can assure ou that the inhabitants derive all the pleasure possible therefrom. Talk not to me of the dreamy, poetical seasons of Cali frrnia and eastern Tennessee! "Why western Kansas, eastern Colorado, the northwestern portion of the Indian terri tory, and the Pan Ilandle of Texas, can double discount any portion of America in the number of pleasant days. It was full a century before the religious Pilgrim fathers landed on Plymouth rock, and only about thirty years after the dis covery of America by Columbus, that an Rdventursome Spaniard by the name of Alvar Nunez Cabaza do Vaca, and three comrades, traveled all over the plains of Kansas searching for the seven fabulous cities which were supposed to lie to the northward of the Gulf of Mexico, whoso streets were paved with silver and whose house made of gold; cities more splendid than any that the eye of a Spaniard had e er beheld. In June, 1S42, General Fremont, then a rVim of engineers, started from Inde p ndence on the expedition which brought him so much fame. Kit Carson was his cuidc, and the party followed what has fiiico been known as the "Smoky Hill Tn.il.'' the present route of the Kansas Pan lie railroad. The.e two famous trails 1 hrough Kansas, am-leading to the treasures of the Kocky mountains and the other to the legendary L.rd of the Montezuma's, are long ceme tr nrs. made so by battles with the Indians, lunger and thirst, murder, fire and rapine. I in tliCM.) great highways leading over An ocean of waste, where rolled the waves cf the buffalo grass against the shores of horizon and where the billows were iivi ing hills of sand, the white fleets of j n-urio schooners encountered more cruel dangers than were ever confronted upon the E 1 few miles west of Lnrned is a little set tl Mfut called Pawnee Kock, which stands oil .i sjKit rich in history and Indian tradi ti .i South of the track a few miles can be -i-on a huge pilo of sand stone rising frnm the prairie that makes a conspicuous Jfi'i.imark, and it i5 visible for miles end miles around when the air is just ri-...t. I was surprised last spring us I passed the place on the mil road, to notice that the formation fo ned not more than half as large when 1 isit.nl it during August, lS76,on my way to tl. San Juan country, ant asked the conductor about it. That individual in formed me that the adjacent settlers had h.uilfd away a good portion of it for build in,' purposes, and that unless something wa-. done to prevent them, they would e -nt nail' haul it allaway,thus destroying v hat has undoubtedly been for ages past, tl'o most notable guide-board or land ri.irk between the Missouri river and the It kv mountain. It has been known as Pawnee Kock since auy place in this country had a name, and for centuries has l c i lie rendezvous and camping ground cf the Indians. All over Its weather-le-itt-n front are carved or were at the t'im of my visit the names of hundreds of pci iple who have passed over the Santa Yo t rail during tho iast sixty years, and nm-tng them was discernible that of Ilol-Tt K. l.ee. who went to Mexico with Gi neral Stephen W. Kearney, in lS4Gasa tv.i'tain in the Mounted Hi ties. I'hi' old trail jwsses under the shadow of the rock, and if this mighty sentinel could fwk.it would tell of desperate adventures siul tragic events that have taken place around it. Kansas has been called a desert by count li thousands of school children, who are r iw men and women of mature and inid il'e age. and who have lived to see it re-doi-mod from a great waste and made to s ipply food and raiment for a million anil a half of people. There is something curious in the undis puted fact that the rainfall of a country in creases with its settlement. There are h a ler, more frequent, aud more regular Flnwersiu Kansas and New Mexico thau there were twenty years ago. and the records of the meteorologists show a gradual but consistent advancement of the boundaries of the arable area of the prairies according to its settlements. In IMo, vegetables could not be grown at Topeka, in 1S7P they could not be grown at Newton, in 1S72, they could not be grown t Lamed, and in 1S79 attempts at garden ing at Dodge City were pronounced failures, Irxt at present as fine gardens can be tho-A n at nearly all these places, as grow in the east. The accepted theory ot this n markable climatic change is that the turning of the sod tends to increase the mature of the atmosphere, which in its tarn produces clouds and rain. The soil is porus, and absorbes the rain fall so rapidly that the ttirf docs not retain it long enough to permit of its evapora fction; neither does it ive time for the for if VI V 14 vVa !yl 'xsi'iS 7t,w "jrjj 32? mation of oceans and oceans of mud, such as the states east of the "Mississippi river are cursed with. Ploughing, however, en ables the sun to suck part of the moisture back to the surface, and the older sections of Kansas the more evaporation, conse quently the more rainfall. For -without evaporization we can not expect much rain, as the earth must feed the air with some moisture, else she will get none from the air. "While it is true that Kansas has many things to be proud of as a state, the fact that she presents to the thinking man greater opportunitiesforadvancement than can be found elsewhere, is largely due to the character of her inhabitants. There are more Americans in Kansas than can be found within the bounds of any other state in the union. Hence I claim that here is to be found in the great future which pa bpffirA n5 ttio pontpr nf tlio in. I glo Saxon civilization of America. Having already written more tnan 1 in tended of a general nature regarding Kan sas, we will proceed to the subject matter proper and have something to say of the "horse interests" of the state. A lime stone country whose grasses pos sess enough bonemaking properties to in sure flexibilities of joint, strength of sinew and firmness of limb: whose pure air pro duces greater lung capacity than do the lower elevations east of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, is certainly possessed of some advantages for the breeding of horses. Then, again, the winters are superior to those of the eastern states for the care of all kinds of live stock, inasmuch that there are very few wet or sloppy days during the season. This is especially true after one goes back from the Missouri river a dis tance of fifty miles. Any one conversant with the stock in dustry can appreciate the advantages to be derived from wintering animals in a region where they are free from the filth of open and muddy winters. In Iowa, Mis souri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee, more than half the time from October to May, the season consists of disagreeable weather, rainy, slushy, mirey, muddy, digusting. The fields aro tramped into mush by the herds, while tho lots and paddocks are a sea of mud and slop. And yet, in the face of the present season, when one-half tho time every farm er has been debarred from going to town on account of bad roads, a number of my Illinois friends have insisted upon the fact that nowhere else could one live so luxu riantly, at no other placo could one enjoy themselves so well. Those who have lived in the states just mentioned, need no de scription of mine regarding the unpleas antness of open winters, for the many mud embargoes they have passed through shine vividly in their memories. How truly grateful and happy are those sufferers from lung troubles who are for tunate enough to enjoy the soft, balmy air of that portion of tho plain country above referred to during tho months of April, May, June, September, October and No vember. To be able to pass such a period drink ing the elixir of life the soft, warm sun light of the plains is a pleasure to be de voutly prayed for. Could thousands of weary suflerers from asthmatic or pulmonary affections, who cpch year endure the miseries of damp, cloudy days during the spring and fall, but realize the relief which surely awaits them, and that ever exists in those higher altitudes where the air is as free from miasmatic or other taint, and as buoyant as air ever ran be very many would seek rest in the small towns of the region refer red to, where board can be obtained at rea sonable rates, and where it is a pleasure to live and a luxury to die if one has to. Then again tho people of Kansas are so whole souled, so generous and hospitable, so pleased to make one's stay among them enjoyable, that it is like a visit to dream land for some eastern man to spend a few months within tho borders of tho state. Should tho visitor chanco to hail from stern and chilly New England, it would be dollars to doughnuts that ho imagined he had reached that better land just over

tllC river Lethe. And why? Simply because he never before knew anything of brotherly love, or never tasted tho milk of human kindness. The genial greeting's, the open doors, the best seat at the hearthstone, teach him that there is something worth for besides mortgages and bonds and stocks. Go where you will, in the section of country referred to and you will receive such a hearty welcome that you will bo glad you came, and will likewise mourn when you are compelled to leave. During t he past fourteen years the writer has visited nearly every portion of tho state, and can gladly say that, with a few exceptions, he has yet to find the neighbor hood where one could not live in peace. And as a f urt her evidence of tho friendly spirit everywhere evinced, I will say that no man ever resided for a period of live years within the bounds of Kansas, and afterwards made his home elsewhere, who did not lament tho fact and sigh for the land of the glorious old sunflower. The aboriginal owners of Kansas were the Pawnee Indians, at one time the most powerful of all the prairie tribes, but now reduced by war and disease to titter in significance. "At one time," it is written, "they could muster twenty-live thousand warriors, but in a single year small pox swept away one-half their number, and then the combined strength of their hered itary enemies, the Creeks, the Cheyennes, Comanches and Kiowas, easily conquered them." Nearly every one is in the habit of refer ring to that section of our country lying west of the Missouri river as a new terri tory, scarcely heard of, or hardly dreamed of, until within the last fifty years, but the supposition is entirely erroneous, as it was explored by the Spaniards long before Xew Encland was thought of, or even before Heinrich Hudson discovered the famous river which now boars his name, and it is moreover true that the section re ferred to is as rich in legendary lore as any part of romantic Europe. From the mouth of the Kaw, or Kansas river, along the "Old Santa Fe Trail," ev ery mile of ground has its history of peace ful commerce and bloody warfare; and when one journeys far enough and reaches the Pueblos, he will find ruins more ven erable than the castles of the Rhine, or England's more ancient abbey, and cus toms which are as old as those of the Pharaoh's. How different though are the winters of Kansas: upon no other section of the terri tory known as the Mississippi valley does the sun shed his genial rays with such lavish prodigality as on the brown, winter acres of Kansas a maximum number of pleasant sunshiny days and a minimum number of cloudy, disagreeable dav; verv little moisture of anv kind from "Novem ber until April, and a drvnes of air and earth which are of neces-itv a blessing to animate creation, certsinlv speak volumes for Kansas as a winter resort for horsemen I and cattle feeders. j I could write a week and ye: not tell all j there is to say of Kansas as a horse breed ing state, but this article should prove a starter, and to succeed it there ought to appear every week local letters to the Sportsman, which can contain lots of merit and furnish information to those who are anxious to learn of the happenings in the great Sunflower state. In concluding this article, (which is only drawn to a close by the fact that there is a hook full of other matter awaiting in sertion in this issue; which is far more valuable than the ex parte testimony of a member of tho Kansas legislature, but then I am not entirely to blame for the length of this article, for that good friend of mine, "the editor," said "go ahead," and I have gone according to directions), let me say too much cannot be written of Kansas as a stock growing state. I have wintered horses in Illinois, Connecticut, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas, and I can truthfully and gladly say, that I will take the latter place in mine every time as a winter resort for the equine family. As a rule, horses of all ages, conditions and sex, are very healthy in the state we refer to, and as for cattle feeding, why I would rather feed a thousand head in Jewell county, than to attempt fattening one hun dred steers in Iowa, Missouri or Illinois. I know just what I am talking about, for I have had the experience and can speak from the card. Bright sunny Kansas, where the grass hopper roareth and the money shark sigh eth for more loans at three per cent, where the resubmissionist maketh a great howl and where the man with a family of nine sore-eyed children, and a mortgage on his farm is looking about for some new parti ta nffpr liim nnncnliiMrm H'tiic k tho stnfrr. I where great men live, men who will help a friend and not expect payment with usury before the week is out, but there are some people who would not bo happy or con tented in heaven and Kansas has her usual quota. Thank fortune they are mostly old men and women and they will die off one of these days. In the meantime Kansas will keep right on progressing. POSTAL CLERKS MEET. CniCAGO, 111., April 17. Fifty members of the executive committee of the National Association of Railway Postal Clerks held a meeting here today to discuss ways of having their salaries fixed by law and that the regulations of the same be placed in the hands of congress.

BRAZIL'S SOLDIERY MUTINOUS. Lisbon, April 17. A letter from Bio de Janerio. dated March 27, says tho discon tent among the military is growing. The government did not dare to enforce the nPlnr 4 l.of irnc ictiArl r tlitvm Imttnlinnc of infantry to embark for southern prov inces. The mutinous batalions resisted the order and during tho nights of March 22 and 23 the barracks were guarded. Finally the authorities yielded.

TIRED OF WAITING. OKLAHOMANS WILL PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS. Marshal Walker Now in Guthrie to Make it Warm for Lot Jumpers. A Meeting of Citizens Called to Action to Enact Their Own Laws. Take The Marshal Will Stand By Just Claim antsThe Eastern Roads Now Interested in the Missouri P.iver Denver Rate War A Out to $6 Rail way Matters. GUTirniE, Ok., April 17. Marshal Dick Walker, of Kansas, is here in Guthrie and tomorrow the lot jumper's lot will be made a very xinhappy one. Three months ago it looked as though congress would take pity on the helpless condition of the people here and give laws for the protection of their life and propertv. At that time At torney General Miller sent an order to Marshal Walker, telling him to maintain the statu quo and not allow any lot jump ing or ejectments by the local courts. Un occupied lots have, however, been grad ually jumped. A meeting of the citizens of East Guth rie has been called bv Mavor Snentrel for f tomorrow night and they will create an or ganization which will protect their prop erty whether congress gives them laws or not. Walker said that all lots to which certificates have been issued will be pro tected. Serious trouble is feared, but the coming of Marshal Walker has probably averted any bloodshed. A ffEW COMBINATION. One Which Will Not Aid the Western Rate Question. Chicago, HI., April 17. The western rate situation seemingly grows worse with each day's developments. A combination, it was learned this afternoon, had been formed for the transportation of through freijrhrt between tho seaboard and the Mis souri river by the wayofDuluththatinall probability will prevent a restoration of rat west of Chicago during the season of lake navigation. By this combination a lake and rail line has been established from Boston to Sioux City composed of the PiUtsburg and tho West Shore roads to Buffalo, the Northern Steamship line to DuJuth and the Sioux City Northern to Sioux Citj By agreement the rates of this line will be reduced whenever they are met by any other line, each of the "four cojjipanies standing its share of tho reduc tion, Tho author of this scheme is Presi dent Hill, of tho Great Northern, who controls the lino from Buffalo to the Mis souri river. AN AGENT'S HTE. How tho Railroads Explain That $6 Rate. Kansas City, Mo., April 17. Tho cut in the Denver passenger rate yesterdy by tho Kock Island and the Missouri Pacific was all on account of a Santa Fe man's joke, lie saw the Kock Island's agent about to visit the Santa Fe ollice and he posted in the window i card reading "Denver $0." The sight of the notice stampeded the Kock Wand man back to his otlice. The notice was then taken down, but the mis chief had been done. Before night the Kock Island had named a SO rate to Den ver and the Missouri Pacific had done the s,ame. Today the Chicago. Burlington Quincy and tho Union Pacific followed, suit. Then the agents here got together, explanations followed and rates were re ntored again to $7.50. ALTON REDUCES LUMBER RATES. Chicago, 111.. April 17. The Chicago Alton railroad yesterday sent Chairman Miugely official notice that on April 22 it would reduce its rates on lumber from Ch icago to Kansas City from 13 to 10 cents and that the rate on packing house pro ducts Irom Kansas City to Chicago from 18 cents to 12 cents. The road will also make a discount of $7.35 per car from reg ular tariff on shipments of cattle in Chi cago Alton cars from Kansas City to Chicago. The latter reduction is made to offset the alleged payments of commissions on leased cars or privitte cars. O. H. G. TRACKLAYING. Anthony, Kan., April 17 Tracklaying was begun here today on the Omaha, Hutchinson A: Gulf railroad. S. A.

The Bur lington, Santa Fe and Union Pacific have given the usual three days' notice of a re duction to $G of tho passenger rate from this city to Denver to meet the cut made yesterday by the Rock Island and the Mis souri Pacific. NORTHWESTERN FLOUR OUTPUT. Minneapolis, Minn., April 17. The Northwestern Miller today says: Eleven mills ran hist week and the aggregate Hoar output was 144.000 barrels, against 111,840 barrels the week before, and 100,000 bar rels for the correspondinc time in 1SS9. Two more mills are running this week. This makes thirteen mills m operation, producing at the rate of 20,200 barrels daily. The heavy fluctuations in wheat have left the Hour" market rather unsettled thoutrh strong. Considerable sales of pat ent were made at an advance of IOcj; 15 cents less, but with prices &H450 cents higher, as now held, the demand was largely checked. Middlemen seem to be incredu lous about present prices being permanent and so far thev have shown an indifference about taking hold. The export trade is very light. NOT SERIOUS AFTER ALL. Chicago. III.. April 17. The men at the north station of the Chicsco Gas Lightaud Coke company, to the nnmber o? forrr. went oat on a "strike last night. It is said that an effort wa- beinc made to organize all employe of gas works in the city. Two of the employes of the north station who wore mot prominent in the movement wiere discharged and the other men imme diate! v struck. The men have beta dist- isried for some time. It requires skilled workmen to operaw the mucninecy as the gas wdrks and unless a setUeroeiK is speed ily made the city may be let in darkness so" far as the gas supply is concerned. The strike among "Uie employes of the gas company if not as formidable as a. jLrst reported. Only seventeen men are oat and thieir places have been filled. FOR LEWIS HANBACH. Of-BORNE. Kan..

The com mittee is waiting a replv to its message sent yesterday to Mr. Paraell respecting the holding of a national convention in this country next autumn and will do no importance business until it is received. "When that question is decided the com mittee will take up the affairs of the league and transact such business as its condition seems to demand. At the evening session of the committee resolutions were adopted endorsing the ac tion of the officers of the leacue and reaf firming confidence in the policy pursued to secure home rule; congratulating mem bers of the league on recent electorial victories and favoring a continuance of the good work until home rule is secured. No reply having been received to the cable gram sent Mr. Paraell yesterday about a convention, adjournment was taken until tomorrow when an answer is expected. EASTERN LINES PARTICIPATING. CniCAGO, 111., April 17. The lines east of the Missouri river will participate in the latest cut in the western passenger rates, which is to take effect April 19. The Missouri Pacific road inaugurated the last fight by reducing rates from Kansas City to Denver from $7.50 to 50. The Rock Isl and at once retaliated by making the rate apply between Kansas City ana uenver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo in both direc tions. These rates have now been met by the Burlington and the Santa Fe roads west of the Missouri river, while the lines east of the Missouri river have decided to base their through rates on the latest fig ures, which apply to first class traffic. GNAWED BY RATS. St. Louis, Mo., April 17. Mrs. E. L. Carter was awakened Tuesday bv the cry ing of her baby. She found the little one's head had been unaccountably hurt, blood llowing from a wound on the scalp. She applied salve and bandages and returned to bed. Later she was awakened by an older child crying. The little one com plained of a pain in one hand and a wound was found from which blood was flowing. This wound was bandaged and the lady went to sleen. She was a third time awak ened by a pain in one of the fingers of her right hand. A large rat was nibbling at the finger. The wounds received by the children had been inflicted by the same rodent. A physician was hastily &uin nioned and the wounds cauterized. THE BRITISH BUDGET. England Growing Bich Off of Increased Liquor Traffic LONDON, April 17. Mr. Goschen, chan cellor of the exchequer, presented tho budget in the house of commons today. It show that the expenses exceeded the esti mates by 11,000 and that the receipts ex ceeded tho estimates by over 3,000.000. The duty on alcoholic beverages realized over 5,b00,000. The beer dutv exceeded the estimates by 270,000. The duty on foreign spirits exceeded tho estimates by 421,000 on home spirits by 1,000,000 aud on wine 12,000. The total receipts from alcoholic beverages, both foreign and domestic exceeded the estimates uy 1, 800,000. Tho duties ou coffee, cocoa and chicory showed a decrease of 17,500, while the duties on teas showed an increase of 40,000. Commenting on the gross revenue from alcoholic beverages, 29.305,000, Mr. Goschen says that the figures showed a universal rush to the beer barrel, the spirits bottle and the wine cask. Every body seemed bent on toasting the national prosperity and increasing the revenue. It was a circumstance that must bo deplored. A closer examination would not diminish the surpriso, for the largest increase had come from the worstof all the spirits in the world, from rum. Laughter. lie had taken pains to discover who drank the rum. It was drunk mainly at seaports. The in crease from rum had been 12 per cent; from British spirits, 7 per cent; from wine, 10 per cent; from beer, 4 per cent; from brandy, 0 per cent. In 1S8 the number of drams taken reached 245,000,000; in 19 275,000,000. It was an extraordinary his torical fact that in the years 1855 and 1S70, the greatest drinking years recorded, there was precisely tho same rush and precisely the samo proportion of revenue from dif ferent spirits. Increased prosperity, there fore, meant a great increase in the con sumption of alcoholic drinks. The exact surplus reached 3,221,000. He said he was glad to give a good account of the continued reduction of tho national debt. The total surplus for 1SS9 reached the sum of 8,295,000. This amount added to the reductions of the previous two vears made a grand total of 23,323,000. "This amount wa the largest ever paid in re duction of the debt during the same length of time. Proceeding to tho estimates for the coming year, he said he estimated that there would be an expenditure of bS,b70t 000 and a revenue of 90,400,000. As to Mie disposal of tho surplus of 3,500,000, he said he proposed to allow 3,000,000 to military barracks and to devote 100,000 to the "equipments of volunteers, and tho Indian and colonial postage rate. The tipplers who had largely produced the surplus would have a chance to redeem themselves owing to the reduction of the tea duty by 2 pence per pound cheersj. He said he was opposed to the total abolition of tho tea duty because it was the only vehicle whereby non-smoker and non-drinker could contri bute to the revenue. The increased beer duty temporilv imnoed in lbSO would be taken oil. The inhabited house duty would be reduced and all working classes tenements under 20 rental would bo ex empt from the house tax Cheers. Turning from imperial to local finance, ho proposed to raise revenue for county council purposes! by an increased duty of 0 per cent per gallon on spirits and 3 per cent per bcrrel on beer. "Hear:" "hear!" "hear!" and "Oh!" "ohr This would yield 1,000.000. He hoped friends of temperance would be satisfied ami thai the publicans vould take a broad view of the question. In concluding, Mr. Gochen said he trusted that the budget would lie recognized as an endeavor to afford relief in various directions without reporting to violent measures. ANOTHER LONDON SCANDAL. London. April 17. An action for breach of promise and seduction has been broagbt against Sir George Elliott, baronet, mem ber of the bouse of commons for the Mon mouth district, by Miss Alice Hai.-w. The plaintiff alleges that she ho& twice been enciente by the defendant aod that he had promised to marry her after he had se duced her. Mi-d Hairs is 30 years old and Sir George is 76. The defendant alleges that the case is one of blackmail. The matter has created somewhat of a sensa tion here. CARNOT'S ITALIAN TOUR. PAKIS, April 17. President Caraot has arrived at Marseilles.

Appointment of Pension Bureau Examiners Begardless of Civil Service Con sidered by the Senate, An Amendment Adopted for Their Ap pointment Under Presidential Eegu lations Protests Against Tariff on Salt, Lumber, Sugar and Mexican Lead Ores Pre sentedCapital Items. WASinxGTOX, April 17. The house and senate Republican caucus committees are hopelessly apart on the silver question. After the last ineffectual meeting of the joint sub-committee the hons-e contingent reported to their full committee the failure to agree. Thereupon Representative Walker, of Massachusetts, addressed the committee, holding that the concessions to tho extreme silver men had been made tvit h the understanding that some thing positive would be achieved but that as they had failed to reach an agreement the house committee should revert to the modiOed TYindom bill reported by the coinage committee. This was put as n motion which prevailed by a vote of 10 to 5. The next step will be to report to the house Republican caucus probably about Monday night. The indications are that the caucus will accept the houe commit tee bill and that it will pass the houe. Meanwhile the senate will probably pass its bill and the matter will bu turned over to a conference committee to adjust tho differences between the houses. M0EE PEEE ARTICLES. Petitions for Free Sugar, Lumber, Salt, Binding Twine, Mexican Ores, Eta "Washington, April 17. Messrs. San ders and Power, the new Montana wnin tors, were in theirsentd this morning, their desks having been placed on the Republi can side since adjournment yesterday. In accordance with the terms of the resolu tion proposed bvMr. Hoar, the clerk placed in n box two papers of equal size bearing the numbers 1 and 'J. Senator Sanders drew No. 1 and Senator Power Xo. 2. Vice President Morton thereupon announced that Senator Sanders would be placed in the class of senators whose terms expire March 3, 1893, aud Senator Power in the class whose terms expire March 8. lb0T. Tho bill appropriating $200,000 for a pul lic building at Knnsas City, Kan., was taken from the calendar and passed. Senator Cullom presented a petition signed by citizens of Missouri, Kansas and other states praying that sugar, lumber, snlt and binding twine be admitted free of tanll uuu tout a oUpur cent cut be made on all woolen, cotton and linen fabrics.

Mr. Sherman opposed the bill and at 2 o'clock it was laid aside and the senate proceeded to consider the houso joint reso lution for tue appointment of tlnrtv medical examiners for the bureau of pensions without reference to the civil ser vice law. Mr. Faulkner spokeagainst the provision taking these appointments from the con trol of the civil service. He moved to strike out that provision. Mr. Cockrell said that he had hoped that some member of the Republican party the party of civil service reform would have raised his head in the senate in de fense of that child of tho party. Mr. Frye It was Pendleton's child, was it not? Mr. Cockrell Xo; it is tho product of the Republican party. That party hueeB the handwriting on the wall: "Mene, meae, tekel upharsin. Mr. Hoar What does that mean? Laughter. Mr. Cockrell It means that you are weighed in the balance and found wanting, as the same scene will indicate in 1302. He went on to -tv that tbre was a horde of oflicc seekers infesting the capital and that the object of the bill wan to reward spoilsmen of the commissioners' political complexion. If the Republican intended to trample the civil service law under foot it should be done in a bold, manly way. They should not skulk behind 'the pending meas ure joint resolution. He chanced that the object of the ponding meaeure was to destroy and break down the oril service law and system and to do it in directlv and not in a bokl and manly way. Mr. Cockrell called for the yea and naya on Mr. Faulkner's motion. The vote win taken and it resulted Yea l. and nays 2 not a quorum. Three Republican sen ator. Aid rich.

Mr. Hoar moved to amend the amend ment by insert ins the words "under regu lations to be prescribed by the president of the United States." He aid if the bill pa.ssed, amended ma he (Mr Hoar) pro-po-ed, it would bring distinctly to toe no tice of the preidect thews particular ap pointment, and would require from him a new exTCwe of discretion. It w per fectly clear to him that the record ot no party, of no president, and. he suspected, of no senator or repre&eaialivs would be in accordance with the strict letter of their declarations is regard to aril serrlco re form.

You have to drink it to propeily enjoy it "Ahl" said the reporter. "What are the habits of this peculiar fruit?" "Well," said tho custodian of the caju, "that one in the window is wha.t they call a garden caju because it is a cultivated one, but it grows wild, very wild They m ike a claret wine of the wild caju dawn in Brad that the natives dote on It will stand you on your head m le3 than ten rninntes The cultivated fruit eometimes turns out red, like that-one, but it is also apt to be yellow, and pornaps pink Tho ways of tne c?ju are in 110 way influenced by its color, thouh.

That is the seeas of the fruit.

The best eample of this kind of color mix ture tnat I can think of is a fifteen hundred dollar Indian shawl that I saw yesterday and Millet'; 'Angelus,' which I saw a few weeks ago The prismatic red, 3 ellow or blue are to these rich combinations as ono note struck on tho piano is to a-full orchestra A mix ture of color like this brings out by con e-fc-pondcra.o the wan colors that are in the skin. Rich colors, ho-vever, must not be worn by a too delicate skin its delicate tones would be killed by contrast witn the rich colors, and tho result would bo a white or gray complexion. Tno samonenness of color can be found in the 'fade' tints of some In dian or art fabrics, nono of tho color being strong enough to injure the delicate tones Ladles who ha"ve-n beautiful but not a strong color m their eomphsaons would do wed to choose the colors of their gown from a bou quet of faded roes of various celors. "The thiru way to mako harmony is by gradation. J31ue eyes will be bluer if tho blue dress worn is a grayer blue than the eyes; fed cheeksm ill be l edder, if the red dress worn 1 a duller red than tae cheeks Brown bairwill have moregoklen highlights, if thoro is gold m the di ess, but gold of a lower tone than tho high lights of the hair. "Choose then jour aiess with reference to contrast, lightness or gradation, according to your tyjo. If there aro aiy yellow tones in jour complexion, wear brown or tawny shades of yellow flee from gray as from a pestileace,"4' low York Commercial Adver tiser. Soldiers TVho "Were "Women.

The Most Celebrated Physicians of the Homoepathlc School on the Staff. The Hospital's Successful Career. Managed by a Board of Twenty-Four Ladies Pointed to with Pride. Wichita is already famous for the num ber of its charitable inetitutaons, while many of them rarely seek to advertise themselves and little is known about them outside of the subjects of their good offices. Nothing attracts a stranger sooner on his arrival in the city than to find so many charitable institutions, and when his at tention is drawn to several and breams that there are still others all in different stages of prosperity, the impression formed in his mind must be of the most favorable kind. The subject of this sketch, which is the City Hospital, is one that probably covers more territory in its good work than any of the others, while by clever management it has succeeded not only in keeping out of debt but in keeping a neat tM0 yjr'i SI '82, ji.ra xpr lr-res -c li wgyg nt n M,'&tW" s'ifi mn CITY HOSPITAL, balance at the bank. It receives $75 per month from the city and -33 from the county which is its entire sup port outside of itself. During the winter season nineteen charity patients were car ried and quite a list of them still remain. The managers think that this institution does its part of the charity work and yet it is willing to do more. The building is situated on the corner of Fourtli avenue and Tenth street, standing in a large lot which is fenced and shows the work of the landscape engineer. In a few months more the front and south will be a beautiful velvety lawn and shadetrees will ornament the grounds on the north .and west. The building is well adapted for the purposes of a hospital, the rooms being of convient size, light and any. There are three floors besides the basement, with hot and cold water and every modern convenience. The house is also furnished with elevator, electric bells find every con venience and comfort that can be devised for the sick. The main entrance is from the east which admits one to a largo hall connect ing with all parts of the rooms on the lower floor. The reception room is the first door on the left on enteriug and is furnished with every comfort, having a air of ellegance and yet homo like. Adjoining this are tho depart ments of the resident physician and his family. On the north side of the hall is a suite of rooms prettily furnished, with every comfort and convenience, at the disposal of the patients should any wish to occupy them. The second floor is sec aside exclusively for pay wards, and the rooms are all kept most inviting. Tho furnishings are neat and substantial, ev ery convenience is at hand, a softened light steals in through the tastefully curtained windows, while the downy beds and luxu rious rockers encourage the sick back to health and strength again. The third floor is exclusively the charity wards, and although the furnish ings are not quite as pretentious as in tho pay wards an observer will miss nothing else. Every necessity and comfort is to be found, while an air of convalescence seems to pervade each apartment. Probably a dozen patients were to be found in the charity wards yesterday, all in different stages of improvement, and there were none but what seemed to have rallied be yond a critical state of health. The visi tor is at once struck with the perfect ven tilation of the entire building, and would not mind being just a little sick provided such comfortable quarters were assured them. In tho basement are the kitchen, dining room for convalescents, store rooms, laundry aud a number of closets DR. O. J. TAYLOR, for stores, winter clothing, etc. A profes sional hospital cook is employed and pro vided the attendant physician will permit it the patients fare on the fat of the land. The charity patients are furnished with the same fare as the par patients except little dairies which they pay patients may order through their physician at their own expense. The hospital accepts all who come and any physician in good standing of any school of medicine may send patients to the hospital and continue to care for them. The regular staff of physicians is of the homeopathic school and is composed of the brightest lights in the profession. One of the pleasantest rooms in the in stitution is furnished by the Woman's Relief corpse and is set apart for the use of grand army invalid. The ladies of the board of management, made up as follows, are very proud of their institution and its success. They do not owe a dollar and feel that with the little help received from the city and county they are on a paying basis. OFFICERS. Mrs. A. Kramer president, Mrs. L, H. Sherwood first vice, Mrs. N. F. Nieder lander second vice, Mrs. G. W. Clement third vice, Mrs. W. H. Livingston finan cial secrefciry, Mrs. E. Zartruan recording secretary anp Mrs. O. D. Kirk treasurer, DIRECTORS.

E, Harmon, Captain Wm. Mathewson, Mr. R- M. Piatt, Mr. George Strong and Mr. X. F. Xiederlander. Dr. O. J. Taylor is the resident physician K'r facl m m fill ilLflSiil If sB rfl n&ffifLB f Atr I I i.atj. j SW Jit and his wife will act as matron. Dr. and Mrs. Taylor have lately taken charge of the institution and their ability and ex perience has already convinced the direct ory that the most difficult and important positions in the management of the hos pital are ably filled. Dr. Taylor is a graduate of the Hahne mann Medical college of Chicago and his experience in hospital work emtnently qualifies him .for the important post of resident physician. The visits of the staff are so arranged that some physician is always present, while as a matter of course Dr. Taylor is always within call. One of the most important features in the work is a free dispensary. An elegant medicine and book case is one of the orna ments of the reception from which reme dies are dispensed under the direction of Dr. Taylor to all who apply for them. The hospital only takes the necessary pre cautions to protect itself against imposition. Already a great deal of medicine has been given away and although this branch of the work entails considerable expense the ladies hope to be able to continue it. They feel the necessity of this department and everything in their power will be done to continue this charitable feature. Visitors are welcome at all times and the doors are wide open to the sick and the afflicted. The rich and poor alike may find comfort and medical care within the walls of the City Hospital. There are several vacan cies on the staff at present which will be filled as soon as practicable. THE STAFF. The members of the staff visit the hospi tal at regular intervals and these visits are so arranged that a physician arrives about the time another takes his departure, thus keeping two physicians in the hospital at all times. The house surgeon or resident physician keeps a record of each case, which enables the visiting physician to know exactly what has taken place since his last visit. His directions are then given to the nurse in the presence of the resident physician, who sees to it that they are faithfully carried out. Obstetrics J. J. Stoner and W. A. Min nick.

Her tronble was a peculiar one, it is said, over which a, number of physi cians were called in consultation. She died leaving four childran and a husband to mourn her loss. The funeral services will be held at the Episcopal church on Law rence avenue at 3 o'clock tomorrow. In the development of another life her own went out. But all earthly life ends in death. The celebration of a birthday is but tho funeral of a year that's ended dead. It is said that in the death of Mra. Zimmerly-Jerome another life than her own went out. We do not doubt it. An air heavy with tragedy seems to have borne down on all of that little woman's life. The death of her first husband was itself a tragedy, his demise being ill-timed, un expected unnecessary; and her subse quent bridal tour was madewith an infant in her arms and ere yettno habuiamei.ts of mourning for another had been laid aside, made with an anxious heart that was galled by the unnatural ties of a pre marital bond. In her utter loneliness, and being suddenly crowded with grave respon sibilities of which she never dreamed, that which was purely human in the little woman reached out for human stay and support; reached out not as one who 'could, but as one who must reach and quickly. With many friends ready to serve her, and commanding the respect of all who knew her, she yet appeared to, at least some of those friends, as far bejond their sympathy, counsel or aid, as would be a beautiful vessel with all sails set without a crew and anchorles that went lightly bounding through sunlit billows whose white crowns formed the verge of a far away horizon. It has been scarce a week since, accompanied by her eldest daughter, she was shopping, both being in the best of health and spirits. Upon the youthful heart and shoulders of that daughter must now rest the present and much of tho future of the bereft household with its three little ones beside herself, the youngest but a babe; but the mother with her sweet face and courage ous heart will be seen no more, neither by the sorrowing husband, by her bereaved and desolate little ones, nor by admiring friends. A CHICAGO CAPITALIST. Mr. Georgo W. Henry, treasurer of the Henry Coatsworth Lumber company of Chicago, and treasurer of the Benjamin Machine company, of Chicago, tho owner of the Rosslaud Park Hereford stock farm of Illinois, and the proprietor of the Warder Grand opera house of Kansas City, is in Wichita, looking properties over in a very intelligent way. He don't acknowl edge that tho city is any better located than he supposed or that it has any great er prospects for the future than he had figured on, but admits that it is a bigger, a better and a greater city than he expect ed to find and that the particular proper ties that have caught his eye can't be bought for a song or even a song and a half. Mr. Henry is too bright and wide awake man not to see the advantages in Wichita's location and also the advan tages that she boasts of in prestige, in size, in wealth and in business over any other city in Kansas. THE HISTORIC 11 ATTLE-FIELD. The Exposition of the Battle of Gettys burg was exhibited to two large audiences at the Academy of Music yesterday after noon and evening, who listened with rapt attention to Geueral Mulholland's recital of the story of the struggle. The paiut inqs are large size, accurate in detail and graphically realistic in effect. They are ten in number, representing the salient episode of the battle, from the first re pulse of Reynold's command and the death of the gallant Pennsylvania soldier, on the morning of July 1, to the desperate and sanguinary but unsuccessful final charge of the rebels on Cemetery Hill on the after noon of July 8. General Mulholland gave a coherent and exceedingly lucid narrative of all the various movements culminating in the incidents represented in the pictures, imparting a very adequate com prehension of the great battle. Pottsville Daily Re publican. A' CXPJLEASANT MISTAKE. The invitation committee for the Wich ita Light Infantry dance were very much surprised to learn yesterday that many of the invitations sent out by mail failed to be delivered. This placed the members of the committee and company in a moei un pleasant position, and owing to the short time they are at a loss to know bow to do justice to their friends. They wish it to be understood that all who have friends in company are on the list of invited, and they sincerely hope that because of the mistake in the mails no one will tsk um brage. The occasion being the inaugnral ball of the armory, many of the leading men o the state will be present, inclnding, is all probability, Governor Humphrey. A FAK REACniNG BUSINESS. F. A. Cooper Co. have not made much ot stir over the fact that they are doing a clever manufacturing and jobbing busi nass, but they can establish the fact that they are doing business all the same. Yes terday big orders were filled for druggists in Salt Lake City, Denver, Cheyenne, Og den, Rock Springs, Mt. Rose and Rock Creek, Colorado. As is well known in Wichita and surrounding towns they are manufacturing Calla Lily balm for com plexion; Calla Lily powder for the face; Calla Lily cream for chapped hands, sore lips and roughness of the skin and is la beled the Peerless Princess of all creams; Calla Lily tooth powder of flesh and white colors; Calla Lily soap; and to be sure to get a big trade have the Calla Lily chew ing gum; and for the Missouri trade in general and the hollow tooth trade in Kan sas make Calla Lily cachoes. "Cooper's Family Drops" have been one of the latest additions and were called for loudly by the crying babies. They have recently completed" ar rangements with a number of the leading wholesale drug houses to handle goods of their own manufacture. Mr. Cooper holds the secret formula, and has labels copy righted. He has been at work in the mat ter for five years and has introduced rather thoroughly tho line of goods to the public, which calls for an ever increasing demand. Xumbered among the wholesale houses handling the goods are Meyer Bros., with houses at St. Louis, Kansas City. Dalla3, Tex., and Fort Wayne, lnd.; Woodard, Foxon Co., Kansas City: McPike Fox, Atchison; J. M. Allen Co., Atchison; Vanatalynds Co., St. Joseph; C. D. Smith Drug company, St. Joseph; Peter Vanshaack Son, Chicago; Sommerlynds Co., Quincy, 111.: W. A. Hoover Co., Denver; J. J. Rr'iman Co., of Denver; A. C. Smith Co., Salt Lake City. Mr. C. L. Adams, who is associated with Mr. Cooper in the business, reports it is no longer so much a question about securing orders but more attention must be given to supply the demand. The proposition is being considered to secure more room and give more attention to their specialty. WAYS Or "WOK KING FOIt WICHITA. A day or two ago a gentlemen of this city was down in the territory on business, when a merchant of the place in whicli hu was stopping at the time took occasion to mention in a complimentary way the line of business policy pursued by Wichita's wholesale dealers in attracting trade to this city, and in proof of lib conclusion and statement, produced the following let ter he had received from one of Wichita's leading jobbing houses. The letter is so unique, yet unpretentious, that he begged it and brought it home with him. It is so very clever and generous in its subject matter, at the same time exhibiting one of Wichita's ways of winning, that we give thesubslance of the letter herewith: Wichita, Kan., April 14. 1S00. Dear Sir Are you in themarket for any thing in our line-' We would be pleased to have you spend a day on the Wichita mar ket, feeling confident that you can do bet ter here, in a great many lines, than you can do elsewhere.

We carry a full and complete line of our own manufactured goods comprised of roasted and ground coffees, spices, baking powders, extracts, bluing and the cele brated sprav yeast and are importers aud jobbers of teas and cigars. While you are in the city it will afford us a great deal of pleasure to introduce you to our wholesale merchants and manufacturers, among them being the two large packing houses f Te !snn nnil W'mttnknr Son. wholesale grocery houses, candy and cracKer lactones, prouuee nouses, sai.i mm door companies, agricultural implement houses, drv goods houses, clothing houses, hardware 'houses, extract and chemical u-nil-i; -iTirl liviiiv nt.lifr ton numerous to mention, all o"f which will show to you why we think Wichita is in a position to control the wholesale trade m your section. Come and see us and niuke the Royal spices mills your headquarters and we will guarantee to make your visit a profitable one and one that "will sink deep into the marrow of your recollection. Yours very truly. (Dictated.) Corner Farnum. THE HALSTEADBELTXiINE. Snator O. H. Bentley was at Halstead on Wednesday evening, where he went upon invitation of the Halstead Belt Line com pany. Mr. Bentley addressed a large gathering of the business men at the Hal stead opera house on the Halstead Belt Line project. The citizens are wide awake on the proposition and the aid will be voted at the election called for May Cth, is predicted. Bond propositions are pending in Halstead and Lakin townships in Har vey county, and also in Eagle township in Sedgwick county. Petitions for calling other elections in Harvey and McPherson counties, north of Halstead, have been prepared and will be circulated this week. Xotwithstanding tho fact that at present an opposition to the voting of railway bonds, the country tributary to the pro posed line needs a railway, and prominent farmers have assured Mr. Eisenmeyer that they will aid the enterprise with the bonds and right of way. At Halstead the prop osition is purely a business one, on the question of rates as well as a desire for di rect communication with Wichita. The country north of Halstead also desires di rect connection with this city tor their grain aud live stock, and a line of this kind built as now proposed will drain a territory as far north as Salina. Mr. Bentley has agreed to address meetings in Alta and Lakin townships next week. SECRET SOCIETY WORK. At the meeting of the Wichita lodge 190 Knights of Pythias lastevening C. A.

BEAUTIFUL HOJIES IX "WICHITA. The time for beautifying lawns and residence property finds the Wichita peo ple, as a rule, giving the attention de manded. A number of gentlemen in some way seized the topic yesterday for an all round talk, and it was generally admitted that the appearance of residence property was observed closely by visitors from east ern cities especially, and it was quite im portant that Wichita should ever lead western towns in this mark of attention and the day had come when to lead west ern towns was not all of ic It was be lieved the city in this particular should even lead the old eastern towns, which would not only give the visitor a favorable impression of Wichita as a rustling com mercial city, but also establish the fact that it is a city of pleasant and beautiful homes. One of the gentlemen gave his opinion as follows: "When we represent themany advantages of the west to an eastern brother, we are accustomed to furnish evidence of such a character as appeals to the male members of the family, and in their character of bread winners, the importance we attach to that phase I will not underestimate. Since there can be no stronger reason given than the independence we are striv ing for is so much easier secured in the new energetic west than in the older and slower east, and our advantages of educa tion, morals and society are such as will quite satisfy the average easterner, but in some things we are behind the east, and in things that women highly appreciate. In this line I wish to point out that in find ing new homes in strange lands, there is an important point gained, when the women of the family are satisfied or attracted by the new locality, which brings me down to the immediate home surroundings, house, grounds,! awns, or yards of Wichita. They are largely as they ought not to be, that is they are not as a rule well kept, although there is an improvement in that direction and a few are very good indeed. If it were difficult or impossible to have well kept lawns, flower beds and other effects of the landscape gardner's art, there would be an excuse, but tho fact is that there is no spot in this country, with more or greater natural ad vantages in that direction than ichita, and it would seem that all that is required is. to have our people awakened to the great good they can so cheaply bring about." Continuing he added: "We lack emu lation in that matter and if we only had one moderately large piece of ground de corated in the best, style of the art and maintained in that condition, the desire for beautiful grounds would grow.and it would soon result in our having the most beautiful homes in the west. Our new court house grounds are large enough, and if those grounds were graded, laid out in walks, lawns, flower beds and maintained to the high standard that our climate and soil would justify, we would at once prove to all strangers as well as many of our own people, that we could easily be as beautiful as wo are great as a city. To do this would not be expensive, as tho additional cost above ordinary efforts would not be great, and that cost would be borne by tho county including Wichita, and we would have an example that would inspire our people to make our homes so beautiful that it would attract the ladies as greatly as our material advantages attract their husbands aud brothers."

Ho was already ia Jack Trevelyn'a ccnfiVkace, and thus, to a certain extent, enjoyed the unusual opportu nity of seeing both sides cf the question. "Look here, sir I" sail t bo; "did yon ever hear of the doctrino of Ffmilia rimilibus cu ranturr5 "Eh?" said Mr. Mingden. "Why doat yen set up a colony of bee hive3 yourself? If her bees rifia your flowers let yours go foraging i"to her garden. Let her see, as you suggest, how sho would like it herself. Put a row of hives as close to your tide of the fence as you can get it. If they fight, let 'em fight. Bees are an uncommonly warlike race, I'm told. If they agree, what's to prevent 'em bringing half tho honey into your hives?" "By Jove!" said Mr. Mingden, starting- to his feet, "I never thought of that. I'll do it I I wonder where tho deuce they cell beesl There isnt a moment to be lost." "I think I know of a place whero I could buy half a dozen hives," eaid Harry. "The gentleman wants to buy some bees," said Fleda. "Dear mamma, do sell yours; we can easily get all the honey we want" "But I've kept be&i all my life," said Mrs. Fenwick, piteously. "Yes, but they're cuch a care, mamma, now that you are no longer young, and you are hardly able to look after them in swarm ing time, and" (she dared not allude to the trouble they were making in neighborly re lations, but glided swiftly on to tho next vantage point) "rt will be just exactly the money I want to finish the sum for my wed ding dress." Mrs. Fen wick's face softened; sho kissed Fleda's earmino cheek, with a deep sigh. "For your sake, tnen, darlmg," said she. "But I wouldn't for the world have Mr. Mingden think that I would concede a single inch to" "I don't know that it is any of Mr. Ming den's business," said Fleda, quietly. Tne next day Mr. Mingden trotted down to look at his new possessions. "Too bad that Harry had to go back to town batoro he had a chance to we how the bee hives looked in their place," souloquized he. "A capital idea, that of his. 'Similia Bimilibus curantur,' ha, ha, ha! "Well, I guess it'll bo pretty much that! I wonder what the old l.idy will say when she soes tho oppo sition apiary I "Won't she be furious! Ha, ha, hal" Ho adjusted his spectacles as he hastened down towards tho sunny south walk which hail heretofore been the battle ground. There was tho row of square, white hives on his side of tho fence but lo! and beholdJ tho beach that had extended on the other side was vacant and deserted! "Why!" ho exclaimed, coming to an abrupt standstill. ""What has she done with her bees"!" "Sold 'em all to yon, sir," Eaid Jacob, the gardener. "Aud a fine lot they be! And not an unreasonable price neither. Mr. Harry looked ar:er u .1 k.sseif." "I hope you 11 be very kind to them, sirf uttered a soft, pie&ding littlo voice, and Elflo da Fen wick's golden head appeared just above the plckete of the fence, "And I never knew until just now that it was you who bough them." "Huninh!" said Mr. Mingden. "But, I hope, after this," kindly added Flo da, "that wo shall never have any moro trou ble as neighbors, I mean. It has made mo very unhappy, and" Tho bluo eyes, the faltering voice, melted tho old gentleman at last. "Then don't let it make you unhappy any longer, my dear," said be, reaching over the pickets to shake hands with the pretty special ploader. "Ilaag tho Ijeca! After all, vrhat differenea do?s it mako which side of tho fence they're on? So you're the littlo school teecher, are you? Tm blessed if I don't wish I was young enough to go to school to you myself 1" Flsda ran back to tho house in sacret gleo. "I do behove," she thought, "the Montagus and Capulet feud is healed at hist! And I do believe (knitting her blondo brows) that Jack told young Mingden all aboat tho boes and that that is the solution of this mystery." But that evening there came a preicnt of white grapes from tha Mingden greenhouses to Mrs. Fenwick, with the old gentleman's card. "Ha must have been very much pleased to get the bees," thought tho old lady. "If I had orly known ho liked baas, I should havo thought very diiferently of una. All thi3 shows 1kw tlow we should be to believe serv ants' gossip and neighborhood tattle I If I had known ho was tho purchaser I should have declined to negotiate; but perhaps every thing has happened for the best!" Jack Trevelyn thought so when hs stood up in the village church a fortnight from that time, beside a fair vision in glittering white siik and a veil that wa like crystallised frost work. Ami the strangest part of ail was that Jd Mr. Mingden was there to give the bride away! "I taKf all tie credit to myself," mischiev ously waispered Harry Mingden, the "best niaa."

A3 aa Odd Fellow hi3 history begins Jan. 7, 18S4, that being the date of hi3 initiation into South Trenton lodge, No. 36, of Trenton. April 7, 18C4, he began fill ing the chair of H. S. to the N. G. Oct. 6, of the same year, that of L G. April 4, 1887, he was installed into the office of Y. G., and Oct. 3 into the highly responsible office of noble grand. He was initiated into Trenton Encampment No. 2 in IS6S, but took his withdrawal card In 1869 and became one of the charter mem bers of South Trenton Encampment No. 40, which was instituted Nov. 1G, 1860. Here again his career was no less rapid than hon orable, for by the preference of liis associates ho filled all the requisite positions, and in 1870 entered the grand encampment. He was elected to and served in the position of representative from No. 40 to the grand en campment several times, and has there served on many important committees, tho last of which was the judiciary committee, which all Odd Fellows know is second in importance to none. He was admitted to the grand-lodge in the year 1SCS, and at tho same session was select ed as district 'dep uty grand master of District No. 10, which at the time included the whole of Mercer county. In 1870 he served on the finance com mittee of tha grand lodge, and since then has many! times represented No. C6 in that body and done valuable G- hajijiel, ra. committee worlc In 18S2 Grand Master Samuel N. Rockhill appointed him to the office of gTand marshal, which position he filled in such a creditable manner that the grand master, in making hi3 official report to the grand lodge, could not refrain from say ing: "To the grand marshal I am especially Indebted for his faithfulness in accompanying me in my visits to lodges." At the annual session of 1SS3, with six op ponents, lie was elected and installed grand warden. In 18S4 he was elected deputy grand maste.jy.and at the session of 18S5 ha was pro moted to the office of grand master, the high est office within the gift of his brethren of the state. He is a strong believer in woman's co-operation in good works, and hence naturally is a warm advocate of Ttebekah degree lodges. MASONIO. A. Man "Who for Soventy-Ono Tears Was a 31 ember oT tlio Order Notes. There recently died in Belleville, Ont., the oldest Mason in Canada, if not in America. Joseph P. Huyck was 97 years old at the time of his death, and had been a Mason for sov-enty-ono years. For many years he held the office of chaplain of his lodge, and on theso occasions carried an open Bible, which always attracted attention. For fifty years his ven erable face appeared in every Masonio pro cession in Belleville. He was bora in Albany, N. Y., on the 14th of March, 1793, and before ho took up his residence in Canada did honor able service in the war between the United States and England in 1812. The grand lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in Nebraska has a fireproof library room. Bro. Arthur Morris Grant is now grand master of Masons In Utah, and Bro. C. Diehl is again grand secretary. In his case, in all probability, it is for life. A Masonic family reunion of grandfather, sou and grandson was witnessed at the recent annual grand lodge of New aersey, Jan. 29, 1890. Bro. Powell Fithian, grand organist of the grand lodge, was there, a woro also his father and grandfather. Tho Knights Templar in the United States number 80,000, and in the world 6,000. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Juttns Itathbono on the Founding of the Order Various Jfotcs. "It was a freak of fortune," said Justus Rathbone, tho founder of the order of Knights of Pythias. ""When I wrote the work it was intended for only ona ledge or society cf clerks at "Washington, who desired to use it for mutual benefit. I had no idea it would become so popular; indeed no one dreamed that it wovdd spread beyond our lit tle circle of fourteen. The wonderful growth of Pythianism, with its 36,000 lodges, is a constant wonder to mo as much as to any one else." In "West Virginia the order ha3 gained twelve lodges and 554 members the past year. Tbo Knights of Pythias of Cincinnati, O., have a very successful working general re lief committee which has done much good to unfortunate Knights who needed tempora ry relief. Cept.

Ealoy, cf Galveston, trading anoa tho "West ladies, was becalmed near the Gulf stream. The second day tile-captain's cariosity was aroused by a strange floating mass, and ha ordered the mate to tako a boat and examine it. The mato returned towing a log, from which the men. had cut away the marine growth which had mado it seem at a distance like a sea raonsto. The captain ordered it to be hoist ed to the deck, declaring that in fct4y year3 spent at sea he had never fmd anything like it. "When laid on tha deck it was seen to be about twenty fest long and two feet m diam eter. It was of some very hard, dark colored wood, lika palm, charred hi places, aud worn and broken, cut and torn, as if it had been whirled through torrent3 and maelstroms for hundreds of years. The ezds were pointed, and five bands of dark metal, like bronze, were sunk in the wood, and the whole bore evidence of having passed through intense heat. On closer examination tho log wa3 seen to consist of two parts, and these bands were to bind it together. The captain had the bands cut, and in the exact center, fitted into a cavitj-, was a round stone eighteen inches in diameter. The rest of the wood was solid. The captain, more disappointed at this re sult than he cared to confess, picked up the stone and was greatly astonished at its light ness. Examining it more closely, he remem bered that when a boy on the old New Hamp shire farm he used to find hollow stones with crystals in them geodes, as he afterwards heard thorn called. This was probably a geode, placed in this strange receptacle for some unknown purpose. Ho earned it to his cabin and put it into li chest. Two months later the old captain returned to his cottage on Galveston bay and placed among his curiosities tho goode he had so ttrangely fouud in the Gulf stream. One day he studied it again, and the sunlight chanced to fall upon a narrow, irregular line. "I declare," said the old man, "it looks lika as if this stone had been patched together He struck it with a hammer and it fell apart aud proved to bo filled with small pieces of yellowish brown wood. The shell of the stone was about an inch thick, studded over inside with thousands of garnet crys tals. It had been broken into three parts and fastened together again with some sort of cement which showed plainly on the inside. Tho old captain poured the pieces of wood on the table. They were perfectly dry and hard. They seemed almost like strips of bamboo and wero numbered and covered with writing, made by pricking marks with some sharp instrument like an awL He found the first pieco of wood and began to read, for it was in English. Tho workof de ciphering tho tiny dents on tho bits of wood f oon became tho captain's chief occupation. He copied each sentence off in his old log book as fast as it was made out Five or six sentences wero about all his eyes would stand without a rest, so that It was a long time be fore the narrativo was at all complete. The narrative runs as follows: Heaets of the Rockies, About Sept. 17, 1SSG. I am an American, Timothy Parsons, of Machias, Ma. I havo no living relatives. I write this in a yast vaulted chamber, .hewn from the solid granita by soma prehistoric race. I havo been for months a wanderer m theso subterranean spaces, and now I havo contrived a way to send my message out to the world that I shall probably never seo again. If some miner, tunneling in the Rockies. Games upon a vaulted chamber, with heap3 of ancient weapons of bronze, bars of gold and precious stones that no man may number, lot him give Christian burial to the poor human bones that lio in thi3 horrible treasure honsa. H will find all that is left of my mortal frame near tho great over burn ing lamp, under tho domo of tho central halL That lamp is fed from come reservoir of nat ural gas. It was lighted when I came, months ego. For all I know otherwise, it has burned there for thousands of years. Tho entrance to this eub-montano river-is in tho Assinnaboine mountains, north of the United States line. I was a prospector there for several years, and I heard stories among tha older Indians that a river greater than tha Columbus had once flowed whero tho Rocky mountains now are; that the Great Spirit hai piled the mountains over it and buried it deep underground. At last a medi cine man, wheso lifo I had enco saved, told mo that ho know bow to get to tho river, and ho took mo into a cavern ia a deep gorg Here wo lived for a week, exploring by means of pine torches, aad at last found a passage which ran steadily downward. This, tho In dian told mo, was tbo path by which hia an cestors, who onco lived in tho middle of tha earth, had found their way to the light of day. I think we wero about thrco thousand feet below the entrance of tho cave, when wo began to hear the sound of roaring wa ters. Tho sound increased until wo stood by an underground river, of who?o width end depth wo could form no idea. The light of our torches did not oven reveal tho heigh of the roof overhead. My galdo told me thaO tmswasthe mother of all tho rivers of the world. No other person except himself know of its existanca. It flowed from tho end cf tho north to tho extreme south. It grew even warmer aad warmer. There was a time when the people lived aloag its cfcannsl, acd there were honics and cities of the dead thero and many Btrane things. It was full of fish without eyes and they were good to eat Lf I could help him bnfkl a raft ha would float with n:e down ths river. Th old, old stories eaid tbat cae caald go upon- it fr many nnle. It ran down a boSow un der the msuctains. "We built aad equipped our raft and launched it on tae most foolhardy adventure, I do believe, thut ever occupied tha attention of men. "We lit torches and eet them in sock ets on the raft, aad we were veil armed. Fcr two weeks we moved down the high archway at a steady rate of only about tare miles an hour. The average width of tha stream was about 500 feet, but at times it wulecfcd out to almost twic that. It jrwcraitd with maay kinds of fish, tad thrr were Tery easy to se cure.

That brought me at last to the piac of tha light, a domed hall overlooking the river, hewn out of the rock, and having-In its czntre a metal basin with a jec of natHral gas. I have had to cut off a part of this metal basin since, but I have not banned tbo insenptioas. There are many gas jets, but In tho other chambers I have had to light Grcm- I have lived ereifEr months, cad I have explored all the chambers of tha place. There is no escape, so far as I can sea. The river, twenty milss "below, plunges -down vaster de scents, and the water gets so hot that I should bo boiled alive if I tried tho voyage. I have discovered a 10-; of tropic wood like palm and a geode in which I run send a message to the world of sunlight Perhaps this will get through the fires aad fl-oat to the eurfaca somewhere. I cm cosvinced that tho river which brought me here flews on into the Gulf of Mexico, and thai sooner or later my log will be picked up. Perhaps this river is really the source of the Gulf stream. I will now write dowa my discoveries, not in their order, but as a whole. Mystery must be brief, cr this scant means of record will fail ma. This place seems t have been approached only by the river It consists of six large, domed halls, connected with a seventh, In which the light burns. There are swords. of bronze, spearheads and other weapons stored in one chamber. There have been costly fab rics also,, but they have perished, and only a few fragments are left. Ia another hall axe many treasures accumulated. One hail is especially the hall of pictures and of writing. I spend many hours there. I see the history of this race their wars, their heroes, their mythology. The most-woaderf nl chamber of all is th3 hall to the north. That L the chamber .of detth and silence. "When first Lnteredthis hall I lighted all tLe gas jets. Around tho walls wero high cases of drawers and on tha front of each was a portrait I examined them for hours before I felt aay desire to do more. Among them I observed a very "beau tiful face that of 'a young girl just eaterins' womanhood. This wonderful raca possessed tho highest artistic skill and delicacy cf ex pression. The face of this girl, except that the colors had faded, might harve been tho ad mired masterpiece ef tha Paris Salon. I felt a suddea interest in the face and caught tho drawer bandies and pullod it out In tha wide, deep space into which I looked lay, robed in whito, her bauds folded, tho form of the girl whoso picture was outside. How beautiful she was! She lay as if only asleep. Then slowly, as I lookod, tho whole figure melted dowa and faded away to a pile of dust I closed tha shrine aud touched no more of them, but I rften go aad lock at tho faded painting and think how lovely the girl was. The paintings on the walls of this mural chamber show that tha people ha4 two sys tems of disposing of their dead. Tho great mass were consigned to tho river, but tho bod ies of all those who wero famous for beauty, wisdom or cay good quality were preserved by a process of embalming, which they evi dently thought would mako them endure for ages. Thero are probably 13,000 separate bodies here, aad they represent more than twenty succe&ive generations, if I riglrJy understand tk3 system of family grouping. If people lived as long as they do now, thero was an average of about fifteen additions each year to this creat "Westminster Abbey of the past From a sort of a map painted on one of the walls I obtain tke idea of many and thickly populated ooaimunuies which used thi" placo as tbo sepulchcr of their chosen few. Evidently that was before volcanic fiut bursts mado tho channel of the river like a caldron bciiing over endless fires. All along the course are towns uiarked, groups of rock hewn rooms ca tho cliT, pop jiated lands on the river, prernemtoriesfrom whose sides foun tains of liut Bwai to spring. Did thousands of peoplo onco live and find happiness in thesa vast vaults of death! Things must have been very different then from now. They must hava had many reservoirs of natural gas. The animal lifo in the riv6r must havo been much mora varied. Indeed, there are pict ures in tho Hall of War, as I have named it, thatkhow two things plainly that fchero were thousands of caverns, extending over hun dreds of aides, and peopled by animals with which the heroes fought, and that tao rivr was swarming with existence. Moreover, I find ovarywhere, chief of the symbols of life, m tho most sacred piacea, a food-root liko a water nut, from which grew whito leaves and seeds. There muss havo been some -electric principle evolved here, by the vast warm lakes of tho river, lit -with soft light everywhere at certrrn seasons. For now I camo to the strangest fact of ell that I gather from tho records od tha raca; thesa people had two kinds of Bgfat;cae.tby found and lit that they knew as tho Lseer God of life; the otaer, camfcig from north to ronfe, twice- wh year, filled for niaay- weeks the whola channel of rile river,, from depth to dome, making1 the very watr translucent The water root and it graia npoaed and were harvesttd in tra last days of u light.
