MiaalWM 3fe V Sfte WmtkitK gaxltj f&gler ITntrsaaspiimmtjg, IJiau; 25,sr$3 Mrs, Maybrick Utterly Re fuses to be Comforted TEN YEARS' MARTYRDOM Has Left Her Nothing But Her Capacity to Suffer, New Tork, 3Iay 24. The Journal says: The case of Mrs. Maybrick, like the Dreyfus case, has been one of the causes celebres of the nineteenth century. Cur iously, along: with the cable news that Dreyfus is to be released from his Devil's Island prison, comes the report that Mrs. Maybrick may be finally reCeosed from her English ail. It Is authoritively stated that the home secretary of England is review ing her case preparatory to her release at the tenth anniversary of her incarcera tion, next July. During all these ten ears an effort unparalleled, except in the Dreyfus case, has been made to regain her freedom. In one case, however, it was the honor of a great nation at stake; in the other it was only the freedom of a forlorn young woman and mother. Be fore she was the famous "Mrs. Maybrick" fche was the lovely young American girl. Miss Florenco Holbrook, of excellent American family and highly educated, who aterward married a rich Liverpool merchant oil enough to be her father. He died very suddenly. His young wife was arrested on the charge of putting him out of the way with poison. There was abundant evidence that he wos a con firmed eater of arsenic, but her children were torn away from her and the young mother was railroaded to an English prison for life on testimony that would never be permissible in an American court cf justice. Sir James Stephen, who dre Bided at her trial so unmercifully, was afterwarl aeclared incompetent and forced to resign from the bench. Mr. Blaine, three American presidents in succession -and the all-powerful machinery of news rapers, embassies and the women of America were put In motion to open that Btern English prison where Florence May brick was kept in utter Isolation, but without avail. For ton years, to get into Jier jail has been as difficult as it has been to get out At last the home office of England has permitted a Journal com tmisioner to visit Mrs. Maybrick and In terview her. The interview fallows. The importance of the newspaper achievement great as it ls--sinks into Insignificance behind the drama of pity which It has made possible to unfod her for the first lime. The Interview, which Is by Miss Mary II. Krout, foUows: "Through the courtesy of the prison commissioner of the British Homo Office, J was kindiy permitted to accompany the Baroness de Roques when she went up to ray her quarterly visit to her daughter in Aylesbury jail. These visits were ot first limltel to fifteen minute.", but through the influence of Mrs. Robert tLIncoln, the ambassador under President QTirrison. they were extended to one hour. E met the Baroness de Roques on the Aylesbury platform at the Baker street station, from which we started. We reached the prison at 1 o'clock, but as wo could not be admitted until 2 we start ed down the road and sat on a bench un r an elm tree, waiting until the prison clock should strike the hour. From where we sat wo saw the roofs, walls ond barred vMble, a grim contrast to the peaceful, Fastoral landscape, with its rich fields, prazlng herds and flocks, and the rounded Berkshire hills, dim as a cloud along the horizon. We had left an official permit to Ms't the prison tlth the warden at the cate, anl at the proper time returned and rang a second time. A panel in the mas tfiKe iron-barred door was opened, and wo stepped through upon the inner pavo ment. The great door itself is opened only ti -tans with prisoners or to official of 3i'gh rank two very social extremes. "The Baroness de Roques was evidently known and respected, for she was greeted in a kind manner. The prison office, just fwithln the gate, at the right passageway! oornd upon a shaved lawn, with the en trance of the prison beyonl. TVe were ilrst conducted into the office, and there 2fft our handbags and unbrellas, in ac cordance itn llle ruies We wore then ic -rduoted Into the prison itself. There the stillness of death. We were led through the governor's office Into a large mte-room. This was a large, bare place, f intfy furnished. The windows were c ""ear glass but they 'lookel into a dark t urt from which not a vestige of the sky uld bo seen. The liffht which filled the r fv was reflected from the white tiled iV opposite the window. A table four RETURNING YOUTH. I am seventy veara young," said Oliver ciiuel Holmes when they asked Ins age.

There is no need of it. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures these things. It brings back youth to the feeble because it brings back keen appe tite and good digestion. It tones up the Iner, puts oxygen and life into the blood, and solid strength into the flesh and muscles.

There is nothing in the world for constipation like Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

We were seated on one side of this table when another door opened and another female attendant enterel, who wore her bonnet and was dressed in black. She was accompanied by a pale, slender wo mon, perhaps thirty years of age. She was dressed in a plain gown of soft gray material. A little dark blue shawl was crossed over her shoulders. A tiny white cap with a fluted frill the usuar covering of an English nur.e hid her head. I knew that Irs. C.faybrlck was ill anl had been in the infirmary for -a long time, but I supposed this to be the nurse the Baroness de If.oq.ues with a wan smile and said sadly, 'Mamma, It was Mrs. Maybrick herself. "I have never witnesed any more pitia ble scene. Sti'l separated, mother and daughter approached the borrier between them and stretched out their hanls toward each other with a gesture of de spairing affection. No caress was per mitted, not even a kiss or a crasn 'of hands, and no words of endearment, ex cept those uttered in the hearing of a keener. "The mother never comes Into the prison other than with an assumed air of cheer fulness and hopefulness, and that day, as at al hoter times, she greetel her child with an assumption of confidence and tranquility that was heartrending. Itl did not deceive Mrs. Maybrick. A slight, fra gile woman, she still retained traces of beauty; her features were regular and fine but tho large, me'-oncholy eyes that looked you straight In the face were dimmed and faded her dark hair, prettily waved un der the little cap, was threaded with gray; tho complexion had the waxen pallor o? the prison, and the ears were tronsparent and waxen like those of a corpse. Her expression was fixed and staring. Her manner, however, throughout the inter view was that of a refined, well-bred wo man. Her voice was finely modulated, the enunciation clear and distinct, and she talked fluently and well. "Flossie, dear," the mother exclaimed, "you are to imagine, dear, that I have kissed you," and Mrs. Maybrick smiled falntlv "Presenting me, she added, 'I bave brought this friend of Miss Dodge (Gail Hamilton) to see you a country woman who is very much interested lit you.' 'I am glad to see any friend of Miss Dodge,' Mrs. Maybrick replied, her voice faltering n little, 'and I am always glad to see an American woman. My country and my people havedealt very kindly with mc' 'How is your health, Mrs. Maybrick.' I asked simply. 'I am not up to much today,' she re plied. -I Ido not sleep, and suffor con tinually from headache.' "I suggested several remedies that I thought might aid her. 'Ah, nothing helps me,' she moaned. 'I have tried everything opiates and spirits; all such things only aggravate the trouble. I am much better when I He awake; am I not. Miss Russell?' "Miss Russell was the attendant who had accomanied her to the office, and who was seated beside her throughout the interview. This attendant, with great de'leocy, made an effort to appear as if she had not heard the conversation be tween Mrs. Maybrick and myself. 'Miss Russell.' Mrs Maybrick went on, "has been very- devoted to me, I am her charge, and she is required to keep me under the strictest surveillance Even in mv deepest depression and sorrow I mav never be alone.' "It was hard to say onything cheering under the circumstances. I ventured the happiest tWnjr I could think of. T hav the best of news for you. Mrs. M& brick. President MoKinle.vl-t.hat is i our president now, you know, is your good friend. He has written a beautiful letter to the main office for you. with his own hand a most touching and forcible appeal. It! has not yet accomplished any thing, but we are certain that it will. TThereis some reason for delay, but all your many friends hope to hear from it in rood time. "A smite flitted across (Mrs. Maybrick's sad face again Just as she had smiled when she greeted her mother but it faled instantlv and her features settled back into their fixed expression of profound melancholy. "For a moment she sat silent gazing out of the window as if she had forgotten our presence. Presently she re covered hersoif and said, after a brief aause: The president is very kind. My friends are ail most kind. Do tell them how J thank them and appreciate what they have done. But It is of no use. I Kg VV have ceasel to hope. I no longer hope for anything. If this were an American prison there might be some hope for me, but there is none here. I was once fond of the English, but I -like them no longer. They are hard hard as stone. Tou must keep up your courage,' I Interrupted. 'You have friends thou sands of friends who will not cease to work for you your countrywomen.' 'Oh, my countrywomen I' she exclaim ed. am proud of them; I admire them; but I am beyond all human help! As a patient In the infirmary I hove been ex cused from hard labor anl from many of the duties required of ordinary prisoners, and have been allowed better fool than the usual prison fare. But there is noth ing I want nothing. I have no appe tite, so it does not matter. I suffered fearfully, acutely, from toothache, ond at Cast they allowed me to have my teeth taken out. But it was too late. Chronic indigestion had set in. Now that I have proper food I canot eat' it. It is too late too late! "Do you read?' Iaskel. 'No,' she said, 'I suffer too much with these terrible headaches. After reading fifteen minutes the pain becomes Intoler able. I can neither read nor knit. I can do nothing but sit in my chair and think, and think and think.' "TThen I asked her if she could not be granted a little more privacy. If she could not at least have the privilege of seeing her own mother without an at tendant present. "TThat coull not be. Tou must remem ber, my dear, that I am only one of many; thot rules are necessary, and obe dience to these rules In such a place as this is Imperative The governor, all the officials, every one of them have done for me all that it is posible for them to do and I should only pain and embarrass them by asking them to do any more than they have already done for me, and get them into serious trouble if I temted them to disobey orlers.' 'But I do not see what harm could come of it,' I persisted. 'Oil, you do not know this place; you do not know what sort f people are sent t such a place as this. Prisns are not mare fr respectable people; they are made for criminals, and when respectable peo ple, through any mischance, find them selves here they can only suffer with the others; they must submit. TThe people here could not be trusted with privileges, could they, Mis Russell?' "The ottendant glanced at Mrs. May brick, but dil not reply. 'Shall you be removed from here, do you think?' I inquired. 'That I do not know. This Is a very large place, and there are now very few people here.' Then she said thoughtfully: 'Of course I do not know what is being done on the outside world, but there must be some good Influence at work; some good is being accomplished that fewer and fewer women are being sent to such places as this. "She then turned to her mother: 'I have seen the children's pictures. Henry (the oldest son) has grown so tall. Think,' she said, addressing me with a burst of maternal pride, 'my boy is five feet six inches tall, ond he is ouly seven teen. Isn't that a grea.t size for a lad of his age? My daughter has .been adopted by a London physician and is growing up a lovely and accomplished girl. The son is with his father's relatives ond being educated in a private school. Their pho tographs are taken once a year and sent to the governor of the prison, who, as the rules prescribe, lets me have them for a few weeks to look at. But only fr a few weeks. That is all. just as I am so fond of them they must be returned. It is not the part of English prison discipline to make prisoners happy or comfortable. I am kept Informed, indirectly, of their progress and welfare. My Henry here passed his examinations admirably, and he has taken a medail for Latin and an other for photography. I think he has talent for natural science. He has been with his cousin in ,the Isle of "Wight, where was sent because he was rather delicate from having grown too rapidly. 'Oh, how I hunger and thirst for him,' she burst out 'More than for food or drink!' Great tears fell from her eyes. "There was a clock ticking upon the wall behind us. 'Your time is nearly up, mamman,' said Mrs. Maybrick. 'Oh, I have an hour again today,' her mother replied. This extension of time was due In the first instance to Mr. 01 noy, with the co-operation of SSir Julian Paunceforte. The visits at first and for some years were limited to twenty-five minutes. "Intimate questions, were then asked and answered concerning friends and re latives in America, and arrangements were made as to the letter which Mrs. Maybrick Is permitted to receive and an swer once in six weeks on paper of pre scribed form and dimensions. There are so many people, Mrs. Maybrick continued, turning to me again, 'who have thought of me. and who have tried to be good to me, but you know I cannot write and thank them. I am al lowed but one letter In six weeks. That must be to you, mamma. Your letters and your visits are all I have to live for, and "Her sentence was cut In two by a sharp rap on the door, and we were Informed that the hour was up The fwo poor crea tures, mother and child, again kissed their hands to each other, but not their lips--that could not be repeating their good byes in faltering tones many, many times. Then Mrs. Maybrick was led from the room and the door behind her was closed and bared. The mother turned away with a look of anguish and despair. It was no Conger necessary to keep up the pretence of cheerfulness. Her daughter's broken health, her abandonment of hope, her profound melancholy, had been too much. I left her alone with her grief." The PnivrrofStorm. The Cayman Islands in the West Indies were nearly overwhelmed by the recent storm. Even apparently secure things aro not safe.

JAP COOLIES IN HAWAII Their Orerwhelniitis Influx Caases Alarm in IVashinston "Washington. D. C, ilay 24. The rapid increase of Japanese immigration into Ha wai has attracted the serious attention of the authorities here of late and several official inquiries have been set on foot to learn the extent of the invasion and how it can be checked. The reports received by the immigration authorities are in line with press dispatches stating that the In flux is steadily increasing. One official re port from a United States inspector sta tioned at Honolulu states that 12,000 Jap anese have arrived since the islands were annexed to the United States. He also reports that in his opinion the total popu lation of Asiatics by the end of the pres ent year will exceed the total population of all other nationalities. Another official report comes from an Inspector stationed on the acific Pcoast who was sent on a special mission to investigate the causes of this influx. He visited Japan as well as Hawaii and the facts he obtained are expected to shed much light on the causes leading up to the recent heavy arrivals of Asiatics. Thus far only his preliminary report has been received, and this, it is understood, bears out the previous re ports as to the extent of this immigration and the menacing results which may arise from it. The inspector at Honolulu states that one of the effects of the heavy in crease of Japanese is to bring on race con flicts between the Chinese and Japanese, the former being gradually outnumbered as the dominant Asiatic force in Hawaii. In a recent clash, it Is stated by the re port, several Chinese were killed and a number wounded. At the Japanese legation It is said that the coming of Japanese to Hawaii pre sents no new or serious question. An of ficial of the legation said today: "Jap anese labor is almost essential in operat ing the large plantations In Hawaii, and it is naturally In much demand. But this is a condition inherent to Hawaii, and the Japanese government and the Japanese people canot control t. Our governmet in o way assists or encourages it. Tljere are immigration brokers and companies which carry on a flourishing business, but these have no government status. The only ac tion of the government in the matter is to license the brokers, In order to Insure the protection of the immigrants against im position. Some of the Japanese have urged that the population of Japan was so dense that there ought to be some outlet. But the government has never taken up that Idea and there is no official system of deporting Japanese. Since the Islands were annexed to the United States, Ha waiian affairs affecting Japan come under the legation here. But we have had no recent reports showing an alarming in crease In the Immigration. On the con trary, we are Inclined to believe it will fall off by the expiration of the three-year term which the Immigrants spend abroad. At any rate an influx of Japanese can have no political significance at all, and it would amount to nothing if tho re ports were true that they would outnum ber other nationalities. They have no vote, so that their influence Is not exerted in shaping the affairs of the island. From the information reaching us, we feel that nothing is to be apprehended by the ar rival of the Japanese In Hawaii and that their presence is of positive benefit, if not essential, to the development of the islands."

S. iL Felton and S. W. Fordyca came to report to President Harriman the results of a re cent inspection by them of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad and ks affairs. President Harriman is a member of this road's reorganization committee and it is said to be his desie to obtain the control of the road asd make It an outlet for the Akon to tho gulf.

Although the Cuban statesman is- grow ing old, hl3 intellect is just as clear and bright as over. eH has no wish to enter politics, but he is keenly alive to all that is transpiring in the Island to which he has devoted so many years of his life. There is probably no one in the United States today who has so profound an insigbt Into Cuba's affairs and Cuba's possibilities. He Is by nature an optimist and in Cuba's future he has unswerving faith. Senor Palma has consistently declned to make public utterance of bis private and personal views on the subject, but to a Mail and Express reportor yesterday he spoke entertainingly of the matter that will always be next his heart. "Cuba will some day be one of the Unit ed States," he said; "but not now not un til the Cuban peop'e themselves wish it. They should be permitted to learn the lessons of self-government first to loam the reverence for law and order that pre vails In the United States. I entered a car the other day. Presently another man en tered and he was smoking a cigar. But as soon as he saw the sign that smoking ia not permitted in the car he stopped smoking. That Is what I mean. It was the law and it was respected and obeyed. "The Cuban people by many persons re greatly misunderstood. At heart thiy axe gentle and courteous. Gain their con fidence and no better people exist. Treat them right and let them know that it is for their good that you strive and a truer, kindlier race cannot be found anywhere. "Of course, the Cuban army should dis band and yield up their arms." Senor Palma continued, "for why should w& have an army? Tin disarmament does not mean that tho people may not have arms In their homes. They may do that even as we do here In the United States. But the army should cease to exist, for now its duties are over. Nor Is nn army of occu pation needed.

If La-nrence Is the historic city of Kansas, the Eldridge House is that city's tradition. The Eldridge House and the Eldridges had not onQy to prominently do Tvith the legends of Lawrence, but -with the traditions of the state. The present edifice is the third In succession, the first being de molished by the minions of Missouri in their efforts to fasten labor of the slave upon the soil of Freedom- The second Eldridge House, upon the same site, and of the same proprietorship, "was destroyed in the flames lighted by the guerrillas of Quantrell's murdering marauders. The pro prietor of the present and third House, a Kansan born, cele brated the Forty-third, anniversary of its destruction on Monday last by banqueting all the survivors of Lawrence's "Fifty-sixers" that he could find. The notable Eldridge fam ily, CoL Scaler TV., Major Tom, and Capt Ed., including their sister, Mrs. Arms, the -wife of the United States mar shal killed by Col Ritchie, at Topeka, have all passed to the beyond, we believe, but the Eldridge House, the third of Its name, historically survives, a landmark to the "old settler" who has lived to be a stranger, a monument to a momentous struggle, and a witness of the days of daring deeds and of signal triumphs. Mr. Malcolm Conn, the new proprietor, celebrated his acquisition of the property in the most commendable and significant manner possible. Why Fred Funston Was Snubbed. It will be recalled that Funston was summoned to Tampa, Florida, just previous to the embarkation of the United States troops for Santiago. It was known that he had been sent for by the commanding officers for consulta tion, which fact was based upon the knowledge of the of ficers named that Funston had had several months experi ence in fighting Spaniards in Cuba The supposition was that Funston was to go on the staff of the major general who should be sent in command, which proved to be Shat ter. Until quite recently, not, in fact, until Funston won substantial fame, did it transpire what the trouble at Tampa was like and why the services and experience of Funston were not utilized. It is known now. He was im mediately rounded up by feather-bed regulars and put through a standard military examination. Of course Fun ston knew nothing about scientific gunnery and they laughed at the answers he gave as to what he had done as the commander of a Cuban battery. Being rejected with scorn, Bie returned to take the place given him by Leedy as colonel of the Kansas volunteers. The truth is, and it is now recognized by not only the regular officers who served under Shafiter, but by everybody, that Funston's ideas were right, so far as a campaign in the "West Indies was con cerned. Hoosevelt and his Bough Hiders adopted the tactics of Funston and were victorious from the start. Shafter tried to dodge such a campaign and would have fallen back but for the orders of President McKlnley. Hod the old war tactics bean adhered to, Spain would have been in posses sion of the better part of Cuba today in all probability. It was fhe dash that did the business, and compelled the surrender of more than a hundred thousand Spanish sol diers, the most of them, and especially 'those under the command of the governor general at Havana, being anxious to fight. Troublous Signs of More Rebellion. The Emporia Republican protests against the recom mendation of the congressional currency committee which commends the gold standard and recommends greenbacks which shall be Issued only upon the deposit of gold, and a nationaS bank currency. The Republican in declaring 'that it is in favor of both (territorial and financial expansion, goes on 'to suy that the way to beat trusts, the only way, is to remove the cause, which it holds to be the European policy of a gold standard, for the reason that that standard concentrates wealth, that it is, in short, "commercial canni balism; the serfdom of the masses; the head-wind against all transportation lines; the undermining rat of republican institutions." Brother Bryan's "crown of thorns and cross of gold" fall to show up alongside of such spectacular utterances as our friend. Governor Eskridge, indulges in la the editorial alluded to. An Extraordinary Prosperous Year. If the remaining months of the present year should maintain their business gait, the year of 1S99 will prove a record breaker so far as general success is concerned. That is, the proportion of failures is less than in years, which is probably as correct a standard for the measurement of prosperityas any and as reliable. The year of 1S9S was a favorable year, the faiiure of business firms being fewer In number per week than at any time since 1S92. But the difference in favor of 1S09 so far is much more marked. Last week Dun Co.'s report showed only 137, as against 230 for the corresponding week of 1S9S, a decrease of 113, or a 45.2 per cent better condition. It is now estimated that the proportion of failures for 1S09 will be far less than any year since the panic of 1S73, which means, of course, a prosperous year. Will Continue to Buy Spanish Olives. Vice Consul Johnston, the British representative in Seville, Spain, sent In a report recently which has more or less interest for Americans. He says that the olive crop of Andalusia is considerably less than that of last year and tfliat the fruit is generally of a poorer quality, but, as it was purchased on the trees, the growers will not suffer loss. This is the olive that is exported in large quantities to the United States. It is said that the cargoes sent here have been steadily increasing nearly 15 per cent per annum over the previous year for the last decade. Lst year, not withstanding the war, 3.7S9 tons of the fruit were shipped here, valued at $56S,S50. Mr. Johnston believes that, as far as the interests of the Andalusia, province are concerned, Spain is well off wtmout the colonies she has lost. Besides, the cost of maintaining these colonies hod become very burdensome during the tost few years, ov, ing to the internal taxes and the increase in d colonial tariff. By the loss of the colonies, says the vice consul, the waste of ives and money ceases, and, as the exports from Andalusia consist almost entirely of such articles of food as olive oil. olives, garlic, chickpeas, etc, it will be many years before the ex port of these products to tte former colonies entirely dies out. The ex-ooJonials will not change their diet for some time, even though it may cost more to preserve it.

Expensive But Valuable Toy. The models of the ships of the navy of the United States are exact reproductions of the various vessels. They are costly little toys, for Uncle Sara pays from $3,000 ito 16,000 for each model. They are reproduced on the scale of half an Inch to a foot, and every detail is exact. The models are all made at the navy yard In Philadelphia, and the most expert workmen have been employed for'years in making them. Only jewelers' tools are used, and every part of the model has to be made by hand. Even the tiny chains, gratings, hatches, guns, com passes and other brass and metal work have to be made by artisans at the navy yard, while a certain class of pinheads, which are used to represent bolts and rivets, are bought from a maker in Baltimore. The models are built after drawings, just as the vessels themselves are constructed, and. these are all prepared ait the bureau of construction, under the personal supervision of Rear Admiral Hichborn. The models are one of the delights and pleasures of Admiral Hichborn, and he has done much in training the experts now employed on them at the navy yard. The first model made was that of the Charleston, constructed under ex Secretary "Whitney's administration. It is very crude, com pared with the work now being done under Admiral Hich born. Hold Fast to What You Have. The settlement of the northwest boundary line between the United States and Brkish Columbia still hangs fire. Canada does not seem to care for possible cordial relations and it is certain that this country cares less for Canada's moods. The joint high commission, however, will be re organized. As the ice-clad wilderness of Alaska shall be come populated with white men all athirst for yellow gold line difficulties and drawbacks of climate and environment will ba measurably reduced. Only let the precious metal be scattered thickly enough in the frozen valleys, and a vast army of prospectors and miners would bid continual defiance to the most furious blasts of an Arctic winter. Under the impulse of the recent gold discoveries on Ameri can soil near St. Michael the normal rate of accession to the population in a new territory will be greatly enhanced this year, with a practical assurance tlhat this is but the beginning of a new form of exploitation of Alaska's hidden mineral resources. Every fresh discovery will add to the difficulty of settling the boundary line dispute, and, inci dentally, to the intensity of the American determination to hold fast to what we have. A New Building Material. That glass and paper will largely take the place of lumber in buildings of the future is about as certain as that steel and iron are now taking the places of stone and brick. A new fireproof material has recently been invented by a Swiss engineer which is called "papyrisite," on ac count of paper pulp being one of its leading constituents. It will make a solid, impenetrable and jointless floor or ceiling, and is claimed to be absolutely fireproof. It is also a non-conductor of heat, and while hard as stone has a soft feeling to the foot and is quite noiseless. Two hun dred and twenty pounds of the material will cover an area of ninety-one and a half square feet with a layer four tenths of an inch in thickness. It is mixed wherever it is to be applied, and hardens and dries In twenty-four hours. The substance is transported in bags or barrels like cement and is always ready for use. The Picturesque Bill Mason. Some speakers can only think except when standing on their feet Such are said to have the "gift of gab." The man so gifted is liable to be able to tell more than he knows. It is not certain that Senator Mason in his speech to the graduating class at Horton didn't tell more than he knew. Tuis man "Bill" Mason, who so delights in disturb ing the dignity of 'the United States senate, has not always been as fearless as when making a speech in congress as his latest performances would seem to indicate, says the New York Herald. His first speech as a national legislator was delivered as a mamber of the house in connection with a tariff bill. "When I got on my feet," he said afterward, "it suddenly dawned on me that I didn't know anything more about the tariff than the youngest child. Then my eye caught sigvit of a picture of "Washington on horseback, and. I assure you the thought came 'to me that I would cut a better figure dashing down the CapStol steps on a horse than in trying to tell what I did not know about the tariff." Capt. Coghlan's Expensive Tongue. Captain Coghlan of the Raleigh has had a habit for many years of speaking his mind rafher freely, and it has seriously interfered with his promotion. The "Washington correspondent of the Detroit Journal says: The first lime Coghlan got dnto trouble for speaking his mind was for telling a chief clerk in the navy office what he th -light of him. He lost thirteen numbers. Coghlan remarked to a friend about this time that1 the only person a nival officer could speak his mind to was his cook or washwvnan, and then he must carefully shut the front door. The next time when he was about to be promoted he wrote a friendly letter to a brother officer, in which ne quoted an entertaining witticism, a remark of Dan Voorhes about Grover Clei e land. The brilliant Hoosier had said: "Grover Cleveland must be a great man, because he wears a No. 18 collar." The letter was read at a dinner. -Cleveland (heard about it and refused to promote him. A Honument to General Lee. An organization composed of southern ladies has been formed In Washington for tflie purpose of erecting an eques trian statue of General Robert E. Lee on the "Virginia bank of th Potomac river, near Arlington, the former hoi: e of General Lee. A section of land 100 feet square on one of the highest points in the vicinity of Fort Myer and overlooking the Potomac river and the city of "Washington has btlen donated for the site. The New Orleans Times-Democrat is scolding the people of the south because, while General Grant's narrative of the Civil war is still having a lively sale, the book on the rise and fall of the Confederacy by Jefferson Davis hes unsold on the shelves of the publishers and booksellers. Tiie Maine tramp law is driving Dusty Rhoades and "Weary Waggles out of the Pine Tree state. Judge Bose recently sentenced several tramps to jail for ten months aft hard labor, and their associates are tumbling over each other in "their anxiety to get across the state line. The greetings extended to President McKinley in the Shenandoah valley on Saturday last seem to indicate that he has won the hearts of the people of the south, regardless of what the Democratic politicians may say or do. a Jofm Bull inquires about the sending of troops by Uncle Sam to the Alaskan boundary. This country's soldiers and their movements are watched much more closely nowadays than they were a year or two ago. j, The German emperor has a new strut. He has recently produced a play, and it was enthusiastically clieered. But it has yet to undergo the ordeal of a tour of the provinces of the Fatherland. Bryan is now in doubt as to whether silver should be mode the paramount issue next year.

Fight on a Texas Ranch, About as exciting a battie as was ever witnessed occurred on the oJe Spangler ranch in Texts some time ago, says a writer in the Philadelphia Times. The cowboys of Spangler ranch had three full grown bears, captured at one time or another In the Santiago Mountains. The bears wandered about the ranch and sta bles, eternally in some mischief, but no body feared them, as they were always good-humored and playful. Over at Tom Ray ranch, near Los Chlsos, the boys owned a two-year-old Mexican lion, or panther. That sort of pet will always be come dangerous by the time It is two years old, and this particular one was about the meanest lion ever caught in that section, and the boys of Tom Ray concluded to fight nim, If a battle could be arranged, -with the bears of Spang ler. Before arrangements could be made Mexican Pepe, a hunter for Spangler ranch, discovered a den of peccaries, or wild hogs, as the Texans call them. The band discovered by Pepe had for Its headquarters a cave in a foothill of the mountain. The mouth of the cave was less than two feet In diameter, but the cave itself was fully forty feet wide and sixty feet long. Pepe was hunting at the time, and the musky odor of the peccaries betrayed them. Luckily for Pepe, the band must have just returned from some excursion, as they were asleep at the time, and before they" woke up Pepe had corked up the entrance to the cave with rocks which were thickly strewn about. "When Pepe returned to the ranch and told his story, the cowboys proposed a battle royal. They sent word to Tom Ray ranch, and the cowboys of that ranch brought over their Mexican lion. Meanwhile the boys had built a heavy rail fence about one hundred feet square and ten feet high above the cave. The next morning there were fifty cowboys of Tom Ray Ranch, as many or more from the Rockett ranch, and nearly one hundred of the Spangler ranch boys gath ered together. The ground within the rail ed enclosure was cleared of every obstacle except four good-sized stumps, to each of which a bear or panther was chained with a twenty-foot chain. Each of the stumps had been squared off three feet above the ground. At 1 o'clock everything was ready for the battle except the peccaries. This part of the work was delegated to Red Jim, an Indian cowboy of Spangler, with the betting at two to one that Jim would get pinned before he could get out of reach of the infuriated peccaries. But Jim knew his business. He first rolled stones and placed them several feet from the mouth of the cave to impede the brutes should they get out too quick for him. Then he slipped a lariat around the big stone which covered up the mouth of the cave. Retreating fifteen or twenty feet, he gave the lariat a strong pull, and but came a stream of raging wild hogs. They didn't catch Jim, but they came close enough to spring at his heels as he scaled the fence. Then fully a hundred mad and snapping peccaries stood a min ute and looked around. In frpnt, forty or fifty feet away, were three big bears and a Mexican lion. Most people would think that such a sight would have scared the peccaries, but it did nothing of the sort. On the contrary, the bears and the lion began to displaye signs of uneasi ness. The bears quickly climbed to tho tqp of the tree stump to which they were chained, and the Hon squatted and showed its teeth. Betting was about even. Broncos, sad dles, Winchesters and cowboy possession of all sorts went up on the result, until the ground was covered- with piles of traps. The peccaries didn't wait, but with a general squeak of rage charged their adversaries. Squads of something like equal number attacked each bear and lion, and then followed a fight to the death. The bears stood with all four feet on the stump, and as the peccaries sprang at them they struck right and left, knock ing the pugnacious brutes yard away. Half a dozen peccaries had received se vere injuries from the claws and blows, and it began to look like a win-out for the bears, when suddenly two of the wild hogs sprang up behind one of the bears while his attention was attracted in front, and In a second they had severely nipped him in the rear. Turning too quickly the bear slipped and fell from his pedestal. In a second there was a mass of reddish brown bristles and bear fur mixed Inex tricably at the foot of the stump, rolling, tumbling, grunting, and squeaking with rage and pain. Bruin managed to regain his feet once and endeavored to get back on the stump, bub the peccaries would have none of it. They charged him In front, ripped him in the sides and rear, and he fell back into the writhing mass-. A minute more and one bear was a life less, shapeless mass, with the yellow brown fiends ripping his hide into rib bons and cracking his bones like pieces of glass. While this was going on the remain ing bears and the lion had their paws rand jaws full of business. The bears still safely perched on their respective stumps, but were kept busy knocking off the peccaries, which were doing their level best to dislodge them. Half a dozen were ljing on their backs dead, while others were jumping about wounded, yet mad and unconquerable as ever, while the bnrs themselves had not escaped scot free. A number $f scarlet spots on their black hair showed where the peccaries had left imprints of their scimeter-like tusks. One of the peccaries caught a grip on the hind-quarters of one of the bears, and hunt: on like grim death. The bear's foot-hold was lost, and he fell rquarely 'into the jaws of the snapping mob below. Then followed another battle on the ground, with the bear underneath and the wild hogs, in a yellow bank above snapping and struggling to get at their enemy. The bear began to work his hind feet and bodies of wild hogs began to fly upward and outward, ripped from end to end by the claws of the bear. The bear at last got on his feet and backed up against the stump. He sat there and beat the peccaries away, knocking fully a dozen into kingdom come before the hosrs succeeded in overcoming him. Meanwhile thirty or more of the pec caries not mixed up in the fight with the bears were either strung oub over the field trying to get at the cowbovs on the fence or attacking the Mexican Hon. The lonjr, lithe body of the Hon had thus far escaped serious injury, having received only a few gashes from the tusks of hi? enemies, while four or five of the wild hogs were lying at the foot of the stump ton which the panther very early In the fight found U necessary to take refuge. But as the ratrfns: peccaries drew off from -the dead bears they turned dieir atten tion to the Hon. swarming about the stump four or five deep. The lion son saw that with enemies jumping at him from a'l sides he could not much longer retain hif position. Suddenly, with an ear-plereing scream, he sprang out and Into the midst of the swarm of hoy, where, clashing right and lefa, b cut a swath, rippin? open and killinc a number before thv recovered from their surprise I a second the Hon was out of the mass ana back n the tumo. Twtce was the same feat performed. Ech time the lion flashed downward, knocking and pfe;hlng the life out of a number and then Jump ing ovr their backs out of reach, and It began to look as though? It would ead In his whipping the lot and sretHng away without Kreat damac?: but wbes h sprang down th third time bis chsln became entangled In t&e body of a id peccary, and when he sprang up to rotate the stump the walcht of the peccary checked his leap and he fan la the wry center of the yellow mass.

Instil letrey The ex-Kansas staifsmas, at present as edltonal writer for the New York Journal, says that "when the American people give way to their emotions. thy are apt to slop over.

His laconic dis patch announcing the result of the battle of May has not been surpassed In com pact, thrilling brevity since the "Veni. VIdi, VIci" of Caesar. He is sensitive and retiring, of nervous temperament. In delicate health, worn down with Im mense strain and responsibility in a trop ical climate, and needs the medicine of rest and quiet- He does not pose be fore the camera in his new uniform. He regards the photographer as a foe. He shrinks from publicity. Receptions, ova tions, addresses, handshakings, dinners, yells, mob-worship, rear platform speech es, brass bands, fireworks, processions would be a torture to him. The only man in the world who really enjoys such Pemonstrations is Bryan. They Intoxi cate him. They would kill Dewey, and we want to keep him awhile longer. "The proper thing to do would be when he lands In New York or elsewhere, to give him one hair-raising, blood-curdling reception that will make the Queen's ju bilee or a Roman triumph trivial; a dem onstration that will stagger the credulity of nations, and let him go. "The latest phase of our delirium of af fection and admiration for Dewey is a popular subscription to purchase him a home in Washington. He is a widower with no family, except one son, who has domestic relations of his own. By habit and Instinct he is a club man. He neds a house built as much as he needs Buffalo Bill's circus chariot for his daily drives about the citv. It would be a burden to him.

They wi 1 be at home to their friends in Dallas ifter August 1. Proof of Mr. Harris' high popular standing in Dallas is found in Vie fact that yesterday afternoon he re ten ed ten or fifteen telegrams of congrat ulation. But these messages of good wishes did not come alone from Dallas. His friends in other cities, ami among traeling men, sent him and his bride ele nt presents and good word. The Misses Redfield have an unusually liTge circ'e of admiring friends in Wich ita. Refined and gentle, their fast friends are as numerous as their acquaintances. Captain George Downing is well known in Wichita, being for several years con nected with the national guard. His father. Mr. Ben Downing, is prominent in 1 al politics.

As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fig Sykup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guarantj' of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the uaoe of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN FIJANCISOO, Cal. lOUISTILT,E. Ky. 3fKW YOIJK, X.' and that these amounts be taxed against the cstae as costs in this suit. This dec e":on of Judge Dale, it is under stood, takes out all of the property o.f tho late Peter Weirick, witfti the exception of a tract of about ten acres, in which the insane son is to share. The decision hand ed down by Judge Dale states that the plaintiff has failed to show, and he has not found, wherein the late Peter Weirick had been unduly influenced to make a deed to his son Gregory, and that both transactions were made by his own Ireo will and accord and while he was In his right mind. The costs of tho suit will eventually eat up all of the property in volved.

Duggan, Manager, Wichita, Kan. Dear Sir: I have ordered the poles for building a line from Emporia to Newton. It is the intention to put on a six-pin cross-arm and to string six wires. When this line is finished it will give Wichita and all of our towns that are now connected by telephone with Wichita, ser vice to Kansas City and eastern points. We will put two construction gangs on this work and I hope to have the link fin ished by the last of July. Yours truly, CHARLES W. M'DANIDL, Supt. This line is already in operation from Kansas City to Emporia and from Wichita to Newton, leaving only the distance from Newton to Emporia remaining to com plete the connection east to the Atlantic seaboard. This gives Wichita connection also with Salina. Manhattan, Lawrence, Leavenworth and all the principal cities of Kansas. In addition to this, it is expected that the line, from Wichita to Augusta, El Dorado and Towanda will be built and in operation by that time. Mr. Duggan will go to El Dorado today or tomorrow, to complete arrangements, and there is little doubt now that the line will be built at once. Work was commenced on this scheme nearly a year ago, but the people of these towns were a little slow in tak ing hold of the matter, but owing to the efforts of Mr. Butts, at Augusta, and Mr. Cline, at El Dorado and Towanda, the matter has about taken shape. Th,(5 wil" add four more important places to Wichita's exchange, anl by Thanksgiv ing this city will be in communication with all towns within a hundred miles.

The weather cleared at about 11 o'clock and a serenade by the Windsor and Eton amateur choral societies was given in the grand quadrangle of "Wind sor Castle. The sun then shone brilliantly. The serenade was listened to by the royal family, Including the children of the Duke, of Saxe-Coburg and oGtha, Prince and Princ2ss Christiana and Pr'nce&s Heriry of Battenburg. iSr Walter Parratt, the master of the queen's music, and private organist to the queen, wearing his ofil cial robes, conducted the serenade from the steps of the queens private entrance to the palace, just below the oak room, where the queen was breakfasting. The Eton college volunteer cadets marched into the castle grounds, (headed by a band of music, and took up a po.r -1 in the rear of the choir. Behind l.... cadets were drawn up the rent of the Eton boys and the military knights of Windsor. The mayor and corporation of Windsor, in their full robes of office, and the borough mag istrates, were also present. The scene 'was picturesque. They all sang the na tional anthem and then the cnoir gave the program, composing the late Bishop of "Wakefield's jubilee hymn, a four-part song, and two specially written madrigals "To the Queen." Finally, the Eton boys gave three lusty cheers in honor of Her Majesty, and the Duke of Connaught came to one of the windows and thanked those present in behalf of the queen, who, herself, looking to be in excellent health, came forward and bowed repeatedly. Durng the afternoon the queenplantcd an oak sapling on the east lawn of Wind sor Castle. She drove along Kenneth Drive to the spot and was assisted in the planting by the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. All the members of the royal fam ily witnessed the ceremony. Her Majesty then continued her drive in the direction of Frogmore. The military knights of Windsor pre sented an address to the queen at noon in the coridor of the castle and received the warm thanks of Her Majesty. A pretty incident was the presentation to the queen this morning by each of her grand and great-grandchildren now at the castle, of a tiny bouquet of flowers. These descendants of Her Majesty, who was deeply touched, also kissed her. Joseph II. Choate, the "United States ambassador, telegraphed his congratula tions to the queen, and Her Majesty sent a graciously worded reply. The ambas sador also attended the birthday service held at the Chapel Royal, St. James Pal ace. The day's session at the stock exchange was preceded by hearty singing of the national anthem, accompanied by two cor nets, one played by a veteran member. The demonstration was Jn honor of the queen's -birthday. Sir Edmund J. Monson and Lady Mon son this evening gave a grand reception at the British embassy. There were 1,500 guests present, including the Infanta Eulalie, aunt of ths king of Spafin; Grand Duke Michael, brother of the czar of Rus sia; the cabinet ministers, the diplomatic corps and most of the menVhers of the Bourbon and Bonaparte family. It was a brilliant reception of the highest soe'ety of France. The music for iha oct..asion was furnished by the band of the Repub lican Guards, sent by General ZurlinJcn, military governor of Paris, with his com pliments to Queen Victoria on tun anni versary of her birthday.

JUBILEE IN WASHINGTON Civic Parade I'asses .Before tho Pres ident, an Hour liOii. Washington, D. C, May 24. The feature of the second day of the national jubilee cdebration in this city was the civic pa rade this afternoon. It consisted of all the fraternal, civil and trade organizations of the city, together with a long proces sion of floats. The parade passed through the court of honor, where President Mc Kinley, his cabinet and a distinguished company reviewed it from a stand in front of the White House grounds. The parade was over an hour passing the reviewing stand. After the civic parade there was a floral procession of flower-decorated car riages, but these were few in number, and this feature was consequently a disap ment to the crowd. A Follower of Measles.

Governor Stevens today signed the bill which re quires foreign corporations to be licensed by the secretary of state before they can do business in the state. The fee Is $10. This in addition to the corporation fees bill, allows the secretary of state to re fuse a license to such companies If they could not incorporate under the laws of the state. This is to prevent companies tinging to a trust from coming Into the state to do business.

An exciting street in cident was witnessed by Emperor William In the Thiergarten today. A cab horse bolted and itsdriver was thrown from the box. His majesty superintended the work of picking up the cab driver and re storing him to consciousness. The em- i peror also took the name of and address of the man, with a view of assisting him. The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Anyone who has had an attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has ne-ffr bten claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One "ppli cation relieves the pain, and this quck relief which it affords is alone vorth many times its cost. For sale by drug gists. C.STOK.SA.
