Dolliver, -who spoke at the Funston banquet In Kansas City Friday night and -who speaks in the Auditorium here next Tuesday night, Is" from Sam Clark of the "Gate City," Keokuk, Iowa, after-.Mr. Clark had'visited the congress man at his home: "Two days passed with Mr. Dolliver at his home, made us know this great young orator in a way we have desired. When we last met Congressman Dolliver he was tall and straight; now he is filled out al most massively, and ho moves and looks every inch a king of the platfrom When he wasyoung his head was smaller, after the fashion of Shelley, Byron and Keats, hut now it is large and proportionate to his body. Ho was born February G, 1S6S, on a "West Virginia farm. Ten years la ter his father moved to Morgantown to educate his children. J. P. entered the public schools at once; at thirteen he passed into the freshman class of the State University there, and four years later he graduated. He read law and taught school, was admitted to the bar in 1S78, came to Iowa in 1SS1 and settled at Fort Dodge. Since then his growing .fame as an orator, and now as a congressman, is part of the pride and present history of the state. As we expected, you cannot put out your hand at his home without putting it on a book. He Is surrounded by them. "We walked out to the grove, overlook ing the river and densely wooded, heavy with foliage and filled with the songs of birds, where he goes loafing with his soul and reads and thinks. And he talked of Lucian's "Dialogues with the Gods." .We knew he was that sort of a man when we read and heard the pictured sentences of his first speeches; beam on beam, stone on stone, drawn Sx om the mines of litera ture and fashioned in his own way Into the structure of eloquent speech; as that first of emperors, who found a city of clay and left in its atead a city of marble. Even when you walk together, giving and taking comrade thought and notions in the fellowship of only you two, Sir. Dol liver is a mannerist as Conkiing or In calls. There is a little vein In the ma jestic Slddons in the amiable and kindly way he tells the coachman to please be at such a place at such an hour! It isn't affectation or weakness; it is the mental integrity of a man who cannot afford to weaken the strength and beauty of thought and speech by letting him run off in the sewer with slops and dish water. We sa'w how it was and were pleased. The failures of individuals to keep up with the promise of their graduation y oftme from Tennyson's law) of associa tion in tLocksley Hall': 'Thou shalt low er to his level day by day, what is fine within thee growing coarse to sympa ihizo, with clay.' We all have our times when qur thoughts. gp as high as nny body'6; we don't keep them there, but -let them come down 'and go commonplace Mays. But the choice souls, great men and women, refuse to be commonplace. They say with Emtrs'dh: 'T am a free man of the whole realm of mind; what Plato has thought Lmriy think.' And thepse fashion themselves Into the rare and thoughtful souls that are monuments and leaders to idle folks. We were glad of the thoughtfulness and dignity with which Mr. Dolliver said everything. It shows that he doe not-hava onb- parade. .day of brilliant dispiwy and then, throw the blade of his wit and speech on the ground r in the gutter to rust there; but that we have in him a man that will not" Heterlor- nt but starting high, will' grow upward ami not downward." IN THE GRIP EPIDEMIC Special Use of Hot Grogs BY Dr. Cyrus Ecfson, of New York Health Department, and DR. LIBERMANN, Surgeon-General of the French Army. H. Xiibermann, M. D., surgeon general of the French army, in an article on "La Grjppo" (Influenza), recommends the fol lowing hot grog: "One-third goblet of Vin Mariani, with two-thirds boiling water, cloves and cinnamon, and with or without sugar, makes a grog of exquisite flavor, which produces immediate 'bene ficial effect in severe cases of cold, at tended by convulsive coughing and de pression. It is best taken at bed time. In the grip epidemics in France it was the tonic absolutely relied upon, and has received frequent deserved mention in the Medical Press. It has been shown that patients recover very slowly, there Is much general weakness and lassitude, In variably calling for something in the na ture of a mild tonic stimulant, and It has been found that Mariani Wine is un equalled for such cases." Dr. Cyrus Edson of the New Tork health department, has made a careful study of the subject in his book on "La Grippe," published by Appleton Co. On page 39 he writes of Vin Mariani and calls special attention to it in the form of a hot grog. In speaking of the complete prostration accompanied by the depression caused by this disease, and also during entire convalescence, ihls preference for a tonic stimulant is a hot grog of Vin Mariani. He says it is excellent for the purpose intended, and recommends its use freely. The remedy is simple and within easy reach of all who suffer from this dreaded disease, A book with further explicit details will be sent by Mariani Co., 52 West Fif teenth street, New Tork, to any one .who will write requesting same. It is" cer tainly well worth writing for. In addition to the able authorities quoted, the book offered contains many more similar and most convincing in dorsements, thus proving It the most re liable of all known products of this character. He grew worse all the time. When his mother called to see him in the afternoon he was found holding tightly to the bars of the jail, fearing that they would fall upon him. He was totally demented. The sheriff was notified and later took him to the county jail, where he will be held until his mental condition can be inquired dnto.

Mr. Steele called to see the postmaster, who is the same man who was postmaster the year he was borp. His father was for years the one prominent promoter of Wichita and her destinies, and young Steele was named after Chas. F. Gilbert, "another early fac tor, a young man who .formerly owned the Douglas avenue bridge and half the lots, more or less, on the north side of Douglas avenue, commencing at the corner of Main and Douglas and running east, as he owned two or three quarter sections now within the limits of the city. Gilbert street, south of Kellogg, was named after him. Young Gilbert Steele was but eight ears old when he left -here. John M. Steele, his father, died at hhfhome in Ta coma, Washington, in 1S9G. Gilbert Steele says that the city and people art all strange to him, have grown from a town of ftye or seven thousand since he left. He, bowever, found the old cottage on South Emporia avenue where he was born. City .Ensineer Pronounces JKailway Jtrldse Safe. At the request of Manager Church, of the street railway, the assistant city en gineer made an examination of the street railway bridge across the Arkansas river yesterday, and pronounced it perfectly safe and sound. It had been reported that some of the city officials thought of causing an Investigation of the bridge, but the report was wholly unfounded. It is thought now that the present company is going to fix the road up in good shape. Some of the cars have been painted, new signal lights have been put on all of the cars and several low joints in the track3 have been repaired, all within the last week. IS CATARRH CURABLE? Letters From Joe Wheeler, Governors, s and Congressmen. CURE OF THE POTATO BRIGADE JtejrLment of People Strang Out on Slain Yesterday. If it is true tht only the Irish like po tatoes, the majority of Wichitans must either be directly imported, or direct de scendants from Ireland's original stock. Yesterday the Boston store placed a car load of Irish potatoes on sale from 3 to 5 p. m., at 25 cents per bushel, and f "only one bushel to a customer." They advertised the fact in yesterday's Eagle. At the appointed time the people flocked to the store with palls, tubs and sacks, and that lot of pototoes dwindled away like an icicle on a red hot stove. CITY IN BRIEF. PE-RU-NA THE STANDARD CATARRH WORLD. Catarrh has already become a national curse. Its ravages extend from ocean to ocean. More than one-half of the people are affected by it. It has become such a serious matter that it has passed the boundaries of the medical profession and become a national question. Sena tors are talking about it; Congressmen are discussing it; Governors are serious ly considering the subject.. In short, our nation is fully aroused to the im portance of the subject. They are not No wonder the American soldier is a friend of Pe-ru-na, when such a re nowned officer as General Wheeler gives Pe-ru-na hi3 hearty endorsement. Every one connected with the army and navy can have no reasonable doubt as to the merits of the remedy. To rem edy over yet devised has received such unstinted eulogy from so many re nowned statesmen and military men as Pe-ru-na. Hon. P. B. S. Pinch back, ex-Governor only considering the extent and chronic of Louisiana, regarding tho merit3 of nature of the disease, but the possibility I Pe-ru-na, writes from Washington, D.C.: NO ISIGHT TO UGLINESS Tho woman who is lovely in face, form nnd tamper "will always have friends, but one who would be attractive must keep her health.

Great actors as a rule are very genial. Whole-souled people, who meet one with the glad hand and make a stranger at once feel at ease. Their manners are en gaging, their conversation instructive. Such a one is FreJerick Warde, who p!ay ol three performances in Wichita this wee. Mr. Warde is an Englishman by birth, ami although much younger apnearing, T l :v M fe j&tT-&D Vi The vision of the stork is one which brightens the eyes and quickens the neart oeat ot every young wife. Yet often the vision is never realized, and as the laughter of infant voices floats from without into the childless home the eyes sadden and the Heart stows nun cry. It often happens that childlessness is due to conditions which may be corrected. Many women have found that the vitality and vigor imparted by Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription "to the womanly organs, has been the one thing ntedful to fulfill the joy of motherhood. This famous medicine is not a cure-all, but n specialist's prescription, having as a Eiugle aim the cure of diseases peculiar to women.

Warde related that his flrst appearance was as the second murderer in Macbeth in the same theatre in England that Sir Henry Irving hade his debut, just ten years be fore. Mr. Warde is a hard worker and the reporter found him in his dressing room underneath the stage between acts in "The Lion's Mouth." He hns lived in America one-half of his life, during which time he has appeared with the greatest stars until he himself now ranks as such a one. Speaking of- Shakespearian plays, Mr. Warde said that there has been a great change in this kind of production. -While there is no increased demand for Shakes pearean production the people do require more than In the days of Booth and his contemporaries. "Many a time," said Mr. Warde, "have I, as Marc- Anthony, ap pealed to the Roman populace lrdma dry goods box, with a durgstore in the rear and a cigar store in, the 'Wings,, but that kind of thing doejsn'-t'go npw. The public demands appropriate settings and an atmosphere consistent with the scenes and time of the play. And it is Jright that they, should. By giving attention to stage settings and details loss, is left to the lmn.s1nn.tion of the auditor and more 0.D- preciation can be bestowed upon the act-" incr." Mr. Warde is evidently 'consistent with his theiry, for in his productions in Wich ita the scenery has been magnificent. Each play has a separate lot of scenery. Tho setting for instance in the "Romeo and Juliet" balcony scene, and "Venice by moonlight in "Tho Lion's Mouth," are gorgeous. The performance of "Romeo and Juliet' although poorly attended, was the finest rendition of that play ever seen in the Crawford theatre here. The work of both Mr. Warde and Mrs. Brune cannot be praised too much. Last night's performance was well at tended and the audience was scsDonslve and generous In well merited applause. In "The Lion's Mouth" is a strong play, teeming with beautiful dialogue and sparkling epigrams which Mr. Warde brought out with clearness and groat force. His acting was splendid. He was ably assisted by Mrs. Brune as Linora, Miss Mary Wnrd as Marcella. Frank Henning as Marco, and Mr. Herman as Fra Angelo, the latter being exceptionally go5d. The onflre company gave excellent support and taken in every way the three performances in Wichita were a decided treat to theatra goers. Last night afte rthe performance the Elks tendered Mr. Warde and the entire company a reception at the Elks' rooms, which proved a brilliant affair, enlivened with music, toasts and good cheer. WICHITA THANKS THE FRISCO For That System Contribution to the IJeniity ofthe Pnrk Mayor Ross announces that the Frisco railroad has delivered the last of Its many carloads of crushed granite for the driveways of Wichita's big park.

The following letters from men of national reputation gives their opinion of the value of Pe-ru-na in cases of ca tarrh: United States Senator Sullivan from Mississippi, writes from Washing ton, D.C.: desire to say that I have been taking Pe-ru-na for some time for catarrh, and have found it an ex cellent medicine, giving me more relief than anything I have ever taken." W. V. Sullivan, United States Senator from Mississippi. Dr. Hartman, President of tho Hart man Sanitarium, devised the remedy, Pe-ru-na, over forty years ago, and the remedy as a catarrh cure has been grow ing in favor steadily all these years. It stands to-day before the nation as a thor oughly tested, accurately scientific in ternal remedy for catarrh. There are practically no medicinal rivals in tho field. Hon. A. T. Goodwyn, Congressman from Alabama, in a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, from "Washington, D. C, says have now useu one bottle of Pe-ru-na and am a well man to day. I could feel the good effects of your medicine before I had used it a week, after suffering with ca tarrh for over a year. A. T. Goodwyn Congressman from Alabama. Pe-ru-na is not a local application or temporary relief i t is a perm anen t cure. Pe-ru-na is a systemic remedy. It eradi cates catarrh from tho system. It cures catarrh wherover located. Its cures are radical and lasting. Therefore, Pe-ru-na is receiving the endorsement of the lead ing statesmen and history-makers of tho day. Major General Joseph Wheeler, com manding tho cavalry forces in front of Santiago and tho author of "Tho San tiago Campaign," in regard to the great catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na, writes from Wheeler, Ala.: "1 join with Senators Sullivan, Roach and McEnery in their good opinion of Pe-ru-na. It is recom mended to me by those who have used it as an excellent tonic and particularly effective as a cure for catarrh.' Gen. Joe W heeler, This grand old fighter U now Brig. Gen. TJ. S. Army in Phillipines. heartily concur with Senator McEnery, of my State, in recom mending Pe-ru-na. It has been commended to me by persons n ho have used it as a fine tonic, and especially good or the too com mon complaint of catarrh." P. B. S. Pinchback, Ex-Governor of Louisiana. Pe-ru-na is a systemic catarrh remedy. It meets tho enemy in its stronghold, within the system. Gentle and persist ently it eradicates the dfscase from the system. Pe-ru-na is tho only systemic catarrh remedy yet devised which cures catarrh. Up to date there has been no other remedy that will, In any degree, take the place of Pe-ru-na. Hon. H. G. Worthington, Congress man from Nevada, and ex-Ministor to Argentlno Republic, says in a letter written to Dr. Hartman from Washing ton, D. C: "Allow me to express my grati tude to you for the benefit derived from your remedies. I ha vc taken one bottle of Pe-ru-na and it has benefited immensely a case of ca tarrh of some months standing." H. G. Worthington, Congressman from Nevada. Whatever form tho catarrh may have assumed; whatever symptoms it may havo produced whatever damago it haa accomplished, Pe-ru-na is tho only hope, tho only cure. Pc-ru-na cures all cases of chronic catarrh promptly and perma nently. Thero need bo no failures. Hon. Judson W. Lyons, Rogister of tho tTnited States Treasury, in n letter from Washington, D. C, says: find Pe-ru-na to be an ex cellent remedy for the catarrhal affections of spring and summer, and those who suffer from de pression from the heat of the sum mer will find no remedy the equal of Pe-ru-na." Judson W. Lyons, Register of TJ. S. Treasury. No man is hotter known in tho financial world than Judson W. Lyons. His name on every pieco of paper money of re cent date makos hL signature one of tho most familiar ones in tho United State. Hon. Lyons address is Augusta, Ga. Ho is a member of tho National Republican Committer, mul is a prominent and In fluentNi Hon. Myron K.MeCord, ex-Governor of New Mexico, In a letter to Dr. Hart man, from Washington, D. C, says: 11 At the suggestion of a friend I was advised to use Pe-ru-na for ca tarrh, and after using one bottle I began to feel better In eery way. It helped me in many respects. 1 was troubled with colds, coughs, sore throat, etc, but as soon as 1 had taken your medicine I began to improve and soon got well. 1 take pleasure in recommending your great remedy to all who are afflicted with catarrh." M. H. AtcCord, Ex-Governor of Now Mexico. It is only a question of time and per sistence that tho euro of nearly every case of cr.tarrh can bo offeeted. Pe-ru-na taken without interruption long enough will remove every wymptom, whon tho euro can bo relied on as bolng perma nent. It Is advisable! for old catarrh cases to correspond with Dr. Hartman during tho courso of their treatment, as ho is often ablo to auggest some detail of great worth to tho patient. AH letters aro answored free of charge, and multi tudes aro finding a euro in this way who havo failed to got relief olsewhero. Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, Doputy Audi tor for tho War Department, In a letUr written from Washington, D.C,saya: Allow me to express my gratl tude to you for the benefit derived from one bottle of Pe-ru-na. One week has brought wonderful changes and I am now as well as ever. Besides being one of the very best spring tonics it is an ex cellent catarrh remedy." Dan. A.

I have been taking the same for some time, and am enjoying bet ter health than I have for some years. J attribute the change to Pe-ru-na, and recommend Pe-ru-na to every woman, believing it to be especially beneficial to them." Mrs. Col.

10 Sf&e Wixthiiu Jpailtj fgagle: Mnn&m$ ISfommrg, ovzmbyz 12, 1899 IB Hi lWh at England Has Bitten Off May Prove to Be. MANY BRITONS CONFESS IT Anglo-German Embracings Libaria's Status. (Copyright, 1S09, by the Associated Press.) London, Nov. 11. The intense Interest in the war has not abated and the enormous Sfnount of -the Mansion House fund Is but one instance of the practical form such Reeling assumes throughout Great Britain, hundreds o all classes spending their time and money to provide comforts for those fighting in South Africa. The losses suffered by General White's force ha3 only continued to swell the con tinuous procession of regular, volunteer and ex-army officers who have importun ed the war office to send them out. Such enthusiasm, however, does not eeem to ttiave spread to Ireland, for it is said that the families of some of the soldiers of the Irish regiments recently engaged have re cused them permission to return to their liomes. Such bitterness beems almost in credible, but it is vouched for by the Irish high sheriff. Although the general feeling of sympa thy is undoubted, it does not prevent fre quent criticism of the methods followed ly the British. The couatry around a-adyfiinith is eminently suited for caval ry, yet, with one brilliant exception, that of General Brocklehurst's sortie, this arm has been apparently of little service ni eithe rattacking or in preserving the lines of communication, while the capture of the Eighteenth Hussars must have had a anost serious moral effect. The advance to the relief of General "White can hardly start for a fortnight and, in the meantime, whatever happens sit (Ladysmith, little news L likely to i each London. The lull gives the oppor tunity for a discussion of Great Britain's political and military position. It is be ginning to be asked whether, lookng at the present experience, the British army is equal to the national needs. Llutenant Colonel Sir Wolfe Berry, of the engineer and railroad volunteer staff corps, says: "In military matters, Great Britain Is trading with insufficient capital. She ought to add 100,000 men to her army." Gobrge Bernard Shaw, the author, in an ironic mood, asks "how Tommy Aakins an be expected to shoot as well as the Boors when the nation begrudges the nion vi to enable him to practice." The public is beginning, with some anx iety, to wonder what would happen hhould any great power take- the oppor tunity to attack Great Britain. The tfrankness'of the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Salisbury and General Wolsoley regarding ahe unpreparedness to meet the Boers, 3romisS some lively times for the gov ernment when parliament re-a.ssembles. Altogether, nothing could be more wel come under the present circumstances to the British public than the evidences that the "United States, Great Britain and Ger artny are working amicably together in the interests of peace. Money is pouring in for the opening performance at the new theatre of Charles Wyndham, November 10. or. which occasion, Mr. Wjndham has :motnced, the receipts will be devoted for the benellt of the war victims. Pne enthusiastic Canadian has cabled 100 'for "standing rcom. in the pit." Europe is now agog with rumors of dip Somatic activity and alliances that may be effected. As a result, the relations 0f the European powers seem to be rapidly assuming a new phase. This, doubtless, J- not a litt'e due to the fac that in near ly a.l the recent International nog) ia tions tne T nlted States 'ins been a fac tor Judging from Lord Salisburj's lnfr- -ice. thif can be partly attributed to the evident detci initiation of the governments of thj power, to work harmoniously with Cieat Britain, a policy which, judging from the continental press, I? obnoxious to the majority of the peoples. The forth omlng visit of Emperor William to Queen Victoria is regarded as capping the (Umax of British diplomatic success, and tho feeling of satisfaction at this stato of affairs "is not in the slightest degree marred by any feeling of jealousy over The omperor'6 recent meeting at Potsdam. The statement that Count on Buelow will accompany Emperor William to Eng land is taken to 'be an indication that his ui&jesty does not mean to give the anti British press any opportunin of belittling b!s visit on the score that It is merely an obligatory one to his grandmother. But -while the emperor undoubtedly intends to filclallj emphasize the friendship of Ger many for Great Britain, it i scarcely like Jv. ss some of the optimLstics declare, that Important treaties looking toward a closer alliance will be the immediate conse quence of the imperial jaunt. It is pointed out that al which could be done in this direction seems already accomplished, and s-everal diplomats have expressed the op inion to representatives of the Associated Press that this was far more than was expected, and that International feeling was not yat ripe for any more than a formal bend between the two nations, w hleh three j ears ago were on the verge of hostilities. The announcement of the Samoan agreemnt throws a pleasant shadow over this meeting of Queen Vic toria and Emperor William and azures the visitor a hearty reception on the part of the British public. An elaborate pro gram has been drawn up. pon the ar rival at Portsmouth. November 30, of the Imperial yacht Hohensollerjt, with the em peror, empress, their two ,ons and others on board, H will toe met by the British special service squadron and. It is said, tne. emperor, wearing the uniorm of a British admiral, will he received by the IMaee of Wales, similarity attired, and the Duke of York. After the salutes and review, the party win go direct to Windsor, staying there five days. Thence the emperor will so to Sandrinyham or two days, and will meet there Lord Salis bury, Mr. Balfour, Lord Roceberry, Mr. Chamberlain. Lord Woteeley and other notables. The remainder of his majesty's -visit will probably be spent at the Duke of Devonshire's seat at Chata worth and in shooting m Scotland, the Imperial party returning to Germany via. LeJth, on the Hohenaollern. British feeling on the sub ject of the German emperor's visit is well voiced toy Punch's cartoon presenting the "emperor, who, challenged by a British sentry, replies: "Friend." and the aentry responds: "Pa, friend," and; yCajiell," emphasising the word "friend." After twenty-five years of bonkrnotcj America's first eoteay, Liberia, is" now rehabilitated, the interest on her public debt being paid. In 1871 Liberia floated a loan of $500,000, chiefly In. England, 'but three years later the- little republic failed to meet the interest, and this condition of affairs has prevailed ever since, until now Liberia's fiscal agents in London havo announced that the government is once more able to meet its obligations. This step was rendered feasible by a new source of revenue derived from rub ber and the Interest which the bond holders despaired of getting is now being paid on the royalties turned into the gov ernment of the republic, by tho Liberian Rubber Syndicate, an essentially English concern. The Associated Press learns that the arrears of interest are nracti cally swept away, as the bondholders agree to accept the comparatively small sum of $75,000 in settlement of the full amount of arrears .though this appropria tion will not be applied until the extinc tion of the debt In the meanwhile, the current interest has been reduced from 7 to 3 percent, rising 1-2 per cent every three years until it reaches 5 per cent, which rate will be maintained until the extinction of the loan. The development of the rubber industry in Liberia has at tracted considerable attention, which has not confined itself to tho commercial as pect, for the Associated Press under stands there Is likely to be in the near future diplomatic activity in relataion to the status of Liberia. The encroachments of the French upon its territory have caused no little disquietude at the for eign office, while ,lt is the general belief thata the United States would gladly se cure a coaling station on the Liberian. coast. In thee and other respects the renewed prosperity has brought the ter ritory to the notice of the European powers and, though the press here has failed to observe this particular sirn of the times, it can be said authoritatively that the future status of Liberia -was re cently much deliberated upon by several cabinets. Having thus become the object of unsolicited attention It is quite prob able that the American negroes who still retain the reins of government in this slice of the west coast of Africa may soon be threatened with the possibility of exercising their privileges tinder the tutelage of one of the great powexs though in such an arrangement the United States, by virtue of the original settlement, would doubtless have a share. In connection with the reported Anglo American understanding regarding the open door in China, apan's attitude in far eastern affairs is much canvassed. Sev eral correspondents in China talk of a CGming conflict beteen Japan and Russia oer Corea. A letter from Seoul which arpears in the Times today says: "The Japanese are convinced that to permit Russia to acquire Corea or establish Rus sian ascendancy in northern China would be strategically, politically and commer cially a deadly menace to Japan's rapidly developing strength. Japan believes her navy is strong enough to attack Russia, and the general opinion is that the -interests of the two nations are so confllpting that it is Impossible to avoid a rupture in the near future." The Spectator dis cusses the matter and thinks such a con flict extremely probable, but does not see any cause for Great Britain to interfere, adding: "Lot tho bear and 'shark fight their quarrel for themselves, while we, with America, Insist upon the open door." The moment Is was known that Mrs. Brown Potter had succeeded in securing the patronage of the Prince of Wales for the Cafe Chantant, which American per formers are to give November IS, for tho benefit of the hospital ship Maine, which American women are equipping for ser vice in South African waters, the success of that entertainment was assured, and the ruh for tickets is now so frantic that absent-minded applicants even for get to send their addresses with postal orders. The whole ground floor of Claridge's has been placed at tho dis posal of the committee and the question is now how the program can be crowded into a brief three hours. The curious spectacle of a royal duchess spending every day from 11 to 5 in un packing and sorting garments for the poor was provided this veek, when fthe Duchess of York, attended by two titled ladies-in-waiting, was spending the whole timo in helping to arrange the exhibits of needlework of the guild of which she is the head. Lord Abordeen, speaking at Scarbor ough, referred to Canada as tho "bright est jewel in the British crown, destined to take a still higher part In the imperial government," and prophesied an increase in tho brotherhood not only between Can ada and Great Britain, but between Can ada and the United States. jMail advices announce the safe arrival of tho American explorer, Donaldson Smith, at Nargeisa, SomaHland. Mr. Smith intends to push on to Lake Ru dolph and thence explore the unknown country westward. BUTCHER BECKER IS HANGED In Chicago Tor tho jlurder of Ills Wife Done in Luetjjert Stj Ie. Chicago, Nov. 10. Albert August Beck er, tho German butcher who on January 27 last murdered his wife, Rachael, and afterwards chopped up asd boiled the re mains in order to dispose of them, was hanged in the county jail at 12:95 o'clock thfe. afternoon. Becker's neck was bro ken by the fall and it was sixteen min utes before he was pronounced dead. On the scaffold Becker protested bis lnso cence and declared George Sutterlin, the father of his second wife, was the real murderer. The case of Becker in many ways bore a remarkable similarity to that of Adolph Luetgert. Both of the condemned men were butchers and the motive for the crime was the same in both instances, J the desire to get rid of the wife in order j to marry a younger womas. The manner j of commit tins the crimes was also much J the same, both men, according to toe tes timony, being extremely brutal In the killing and both using the same meant, to dispose of the body, by boiling and burning. It was proven at Becker's trial that after killing his wife, he bad chopped her body to pieces, then boiled the re mains on his kitchen stove, afterwards burying the remains la various places. As la the case of Luetgert, the rings of the murdered wife played no small part la the testimony leading to the conviction. Like Luetgert, also, Becker endeavored to explain Ms wife s disappearance by saytsg she had eloped with another wan. Becker made several confessions. In his first atatement he said he had drowned his wife in Lake Mi-hir,n UnrJi.. deavored to implicate in the crime the father of the woman whom he married after murdering bis am wife, and to the last be stuck to this version.

A reader feels an eagerness to recom mend Will White's stories to other read ers, because he feel3 In 'recommending them that his judgment will not be im peached and that the man who reads them will leave them mentally freshened and rejuvenated. Doubleday McClure have Issued a very handsome volume of these stories under the title of "The Court of Boy ville." These stories follow White's first boy story, "The King of BoyvUle These boys are Kansas boys. They are El Do rado boys. They are Wichita boys, Win field, Wellington, Arkansas City boys. You pass them every day. You recog nize them as similar to .yourself when you was their age. But you are busy, andV there is merely in your mind this broad, non-particular generalization of them. Now the virtue, and it is a golden vir tue, of White's stories, is that it dwarfs you instantly to the boy's size and en larges your soul to the boundless dimen sions of a boy's soul. You become aware distinctly, for the first time, perhaps, in your life, that you have drifted away from an old country into a new one, that you have not only forsaken but forgotten certain fast beliefs of another time and clime, that certain gossamer mental shad ings have gone black In your life. Think of the ineffable terror, the self-Inflicted sweet terror you felt across the room from the girl of your fancy, whom you desired to be near and did not desire to be near. Think of what substantial faith you gave the belief that horsehairs in water turned to snakes in nine days. Re member that spitting on the bait to en tice the fish was not a laughable fancy with you once, but a conviction; that drawing a circle around the marble charmed It from being hit; that a snake's tail did not die until sun-down; that let ting the old' cat die caused death in the family; that killing a toad made the cow give bloody milk, that these were not boyish fancies, but boyish certitudes. It is with these youthful beliefs that Will White begins to conjure the mind back to boyhood. It is one stage in three stages of his work. It is the least diffi cult, for most of us, if we take time, could think up these oddities of our youth and remember others that the author has not thought of. But there is a second stage of his -work which is much finer and much more diffi cult and no one but White, so far as we know, has ever attempted it. And that consists in detailing a boy's Inexplicable actions to tell how he loves, how ho thinks, how he reasons. Here is a boy's love taken from one of the stories in this book the King of Boy ville being the third person, singular: He dared not seek her eyes but he mingled .noisily in the crowd for awhile and then, on, a desperate venture, carelessly snap ped a peanut shell and hit his Heart's Desire on the chin. He seemed to be looking a thousand miles away in another direction than that jn which the missle took. Ho waited nearly a minute a long, uncertain minute for a response. Then the shell came back; it did not hit him but it might have done so that was all he could ask. He snapped shells slyly for a quarter of an hour and was happy. Once he looked not exactly looked; per haps peeked is the better word; took just the tiniest light ning peek out of the tail of his eye and found a smile waiting for him. At supper if anyone save Piggy (the King) had tried to take a chair by his Heart's Desire when the plates came round there would have been a fight. Mealy Jones (rival) knew this and he knew, what Piggy did not know, that it would have been, a light of two against one. So Piggy sat bolt upright in his chair beside the black-and-red checked dress, and talked to tho room at large; but he sppke no word to the maiden at his side. She noticed that Piggy kept dropping his knife and the solicitude of her sex prompted her to ask: "Are your hands cold, Winfield?" And the instinct of his sex to Tiide a fault with a falsehood mado Piggy nod his head. Then she an swered: "Cold hands, a warm heart!" At this important bit of repartee the King of Boyville so forgot his royal dignity that be let an orange peel drive at Jimmy Scars and pretended not to hear her. His only reply was to joggle her arm when she reached for the cake. Piggy was so exuberant and in such high, spirits that he put his plate on his chair and made Bd Perkins walk turkey fashion three times around the room. He forgot the dis grace which his note (intercepted by the teacher) had brought him in the school; he forgot the pretensions of Mealy Jones. After that nothing mattered very much. It didn't matter that Piggy's shoe-bruised feet began to sting like Are, It didn't matter much if Mealy Jones mother did come for him with a lintern and break up the party., It didn't matter much if Jimmy Sears did -call out "Hello Roses Red" when the boys reached the bedroom where their hats were; for a voice that Riggy knew cried back from the adjoin ing room: "You think vou're cute, don't you. old smarty'" Nothing in the world could matter then, for had not Piggy Pennington five minutes before handed a card to His Heart's Desire which read. "If I may not C U home, may I not sit on the fence and C U go by?" And had she not taken it and said merrily: "I'm going tp keep this"" What could matter after that open avowal? And so it came to pass in a little while that the courtly company headed by the King of Boyviile. filed gayly down the path. They walked two by two and they started on a long, uneven way. But the King of Boyville was full of Joy a kind of joy so strange that wise men may not measure it; a joy so rare that even kings are proud of it. The third stare of White's work we have, caught only in one place. It is the delicate work of photographing, not boy's manner, bis words or his mind, but his souL It occurs in the good-night to the whole book In a sketch called. "The Herb Called Heart's Ease." No mother can read It without slipping to the bed side of her son and giving the sleeping, dirty boy the tribute of a Quickened love A master of another century who wrote Childhood's Intimations of Immortality" would have glowed at the reading of it.

NAVAL RESERVE RECOMMENDED Admiral Sampson Outlines a Plan for an Emergency. New Yory, Nov. 10. Admiral William T. Sampson writes in the World as fol lows: The value of the naval militia in this country was amply demonstrated dur ing the late war. With very few excep tions, the naval officers have gratefully ac knowledge the work, done by the state siilors. Not alone have they manned four auxiliary cruisers, which did excellent work in the blockade of Cuba, but they fusnished a second line of defense about our coast. Prom Florida to Maine the naval militia were used for manning harbor-defense vessels, patrol boats, and sig nal stations, while their officers in a num ber of cases, took the place of regular officers of the navy In various shore de tails, thereby releasing the forces of the regular navy for deep-water service. There were no scandals, no complaints, no fault-finding by the men of the naval militia about the work or treatment ac corded to them. They did their work in a business-like way, took their share of all hardships of the war, smelled gun powder burned in earnest In various en gagements off the coast of Cuba, and re turned to their vocations without com plaint or murmer about the hardships of a sailor's life or discipline they had gone through. The war demonstrated one thing, how ever. For a second line of defense the naval militia are Invaluable, but in the estimation of naval authorities a more mobile body is the need of the future. With this object in view a movement for a National Naval Reserve.from which the naval militia is but an outgrowth, has been inaugurated. This organization is to consist of a reserve of seafaring men, engineers, pilots and seamen, avail able upon a sudden demand. They are to be drilled once every year, and to re ceive compensation for the time occupied. They are to be directly under the orders of tho Naval Department and subject to any demands that may arise for crews and officers to augments the personnel of our fleet The trained seaman, the man behind the gun, demonstrated his value in the Spanish war, and if theGovernment is wise it will seek to keep an auxiliary force of men so trained under its control. Seamen who have served in tho navy, and officers as well, will be only too glad to maintain their connection with tho 6ervlco of such an organization. At a small cost a strong Naval Reserve could be maintained to man the ships laid up in ordinary, as well as the aux iliary cruslers which may be called into existence in case of another war. Money spent on such an organization would not be wasted, and the men who fought at Santiago and Manila could bo retained ready for call, even though they quit tho navy for a more congenial life ashore. The Naval Reserve need not necessarily be seafaring men; there are many posi tions on board ship which can convenient ly be filled with men without such ex perience, provided they have a natural aptitude for the sea and are willing. It is believed that Naval Reserves should be drilled and exercised as ships' com panies. They would be equally efficient on shore when needed, and would great ly augment the naval force when re quired for that purpose. A greatly in creased force should be available in time of war, otherwise we can never man our ships. The military service of all men In the seacoast States should be in the navy. NINETY HOURS WITH NO FOOD Or "Water, Two Sailors Chew the Leather of Their Boots Philadelphia, Pa,, Nov. 11. News has been receHed here that the Philadelphia schooner William M. Byrd, from Charles ton, S. C to New London, Conn., was wrecked in the October hurricane off Frying Pan shoals,, North Carolina, and ten of the crew, including Captain Bar rett, perished. Two survivors, George W. Loud, the mate, and George Robin son, seaman, have been landed at Salis bury, Md., by the schooner-Samuel T. Beachem, from Jacksonville, Fla., which vessel rescued them on the afternoon of November 3, twenty-nine mile3 southwest of the Frying Pan lightship.

When the eye of a Kansan falls upon the word "Kansas" on a book cover his Interest and his prejudice are at once aroused. For all Kansas has long been on the hunt for a Kansas romance, which would reflect the sky, the prairie, the creek, the dusty road and the personality which is set in among them, the person-ahtj- which makes them and is made by them. William R. Llghton has written a book called "Sons of Strength," being "A Ro mance of the Kansas Border War." Others have .essayed that border war as a field of romance. No one has ever attempted it before who has equalled Mr. Lighton's grace of diction. On that score his work is perhaps faultless. The story is a good, strong, morally helpful one. The author has been a little timid of drama, but the story does what it is Intended it should do, teach the lesson of the expediency and brilliancy of true worth in men. But one hesitates to recognize our Kan sas in Its pages, except in one instance the description of the home-seekers' first night In the sunflower state. Mr. John Speer, the oldest of notable Kansans, biographer of Lane, publisher of the Lawrence Tribune in the Pro-Slavery and Free State days, was, with a view of being fair to this romance, asked by this reviewer several questions. Mr. Speer has not himself read the book. One of these: "is the Kansas character the same now as in 1S55?" To which he answered: "Yep." t "Did the Kansas emigrant anticipate physical danger on setting out for Kan sas from Pro-Slavery men?" "He expected a lively political cam paign. He no more expected to be hit in the back with a bullet than jou expect to be hit in the back with a. bullet in the campaign here now." Did the conservative, or better element, or the intelligent element of Lawrence approve of the compromise between Shannon, Robinson and Lane which ward ed off from Lawrence an attack of the Pro-Slavery forces then camped at Franklin?" "They did approve of it If the Mls sourians had carried back forty or fifty dead men wih them, there would have been no Lawrence immediately there after." "Was John Brown, a man who, face to face, impressed you with tremendous will power." "That is very true. He did that." "Did he and Jim Lane have a dramatic. encounter on the streets of Lawrence?" "I think not. They woum have had it out in private, moat likely." The reason for these questions will come out in the narrative which Mr. Lighton has written and which is as follows: "An emigrant's vrazon leaves behind It in Il linois a boy, who becomes a foundling) This portion of the story is masterfully written. Tha foundling finds a playmate in Blmkle Mead. The foundling. Pokey Upjack by name, is early taught honesty and truthfulness. He Is later adopted Into the family of a Quaker. The Quaker, when Pierce signed the Kansas-Nebraska act, permitting the people of the terri tories to decide by ballot whether they should be "slave" or "free state," prayed that his adopted son move on to Kansas to make the battle for the free. He set out with others in wagons. Thoy were joined by other wagons from Ohio .and among them one containing Elizabeth Archibald, a teacher with whom Pokey Upjack falls in love, warily, tentatively. In passing through Missouri Pokey Up jack beholds a young man holding a bleeding negro baby which an older man has just lashed. Pokey becomes a spec tator and helps the younger nan. These two proved to be father and son, one an abolitionist, the other a rank, cruel clave master. The old man is bound snd gagged and the boy, Arch McCulloch, joins tho Kansas emigrants. Archie meets his mother on the road and says fare well to her, concealing the plight of her husband, because of all mortals she alone cares for him. The party, fired with en thusiasm for their mission, and fearful of attack from Missourlans, at last crosses the river, moves on to Lawrence where Pokey recognizes his old friend, Bllnkle Mead, now a preacher under a new name and a thorough hypocrite. Westward from Lawrence they locate a claim and build a strongly fortified house. One day Archie, who by this time has also fallen In love with Elizabeth (and Elizabeth is nearer a Kansas type than any other character in the book), goes to Lawrence. He is back speedily with the announce ment that there Is war. A sheriff from Missouri arrested a Free State man. A party of Free State men (Sam Wood was one of them) took the man from the sher iff. Governor Shannon called out the militia, which meant Missourlans. The Missourians camped in a body at Frank lin, near by Lawrence. Archie and Pokey and the rest of the Free State set tlers poured into Lawrence to protect it against the threatened attack. Shannon, governor representing the Missouri crowd, came to Lawrence to effect a oompxomise with a Council of Safety, scored roundly by this author. Jim Lane, although the author does not name him, got Shannon drunk. -Previous to the comgromlse John Brown arrived and lined up the Free State men for action. He wanted no compro mise, he wanted a fight, which is histo rically corroot. Lane ordered him to make no attack. A dramatic scene on the street of Lawrence is described. Mr. Speer said Lane probably went to John Brown and said: "You must not attack." After the compromise was signed, Brown quieted down. The author calls the Council of Safety (Charles Robinson and Jim Laae) the Council of Fear and has John Brown reply to Lane: "I deny all military authority over me unless jou give me an order to fight. My Matter ie the Lord. I shall obey none hoi Hint and His orders I have already re ceived." Brown's company dissipates, much to the narrator's dtegost, and Joan Brown doe, not attack as stated above. The char acter of Ae story. Poijay U&faek, was nlth Brown on the matter of attack. The drama of the story hinges on a VfaUt made by Pokey and Archie to Fmafcliat, la the course of wrnei they 4taeevier they are brothers; and that "Bttahte Mead." the preacher, hi a' tracer. There is historic! toandatioa for the author's creation of a treacherous mfahv te: which is laughable. Xr.

The results of the elections last Tuesday seemingly set tled two things for the next national campaign, and both of leading Importance. It settled who the candidates are to be, as also the principal Issue. The Republican party, with (McKinley as Its candidate, will affirm, and the Democracy, with Bryan, will deny. The Republican platform will stand Toy protecton, progression and expansion. The Democratic platform will simply be "anti," as it has always been. Mc Kinley will be renominated and re-elected; Bryan rjamed again and left again. The Republican party under McKin ley has redeemed every promise in its platform and every pledge made by its president. Better times and a full treas ury were promised and among other things the pledge given that the Stars and Stripes should float over the Hawaiian Islands as a signal to the world of permanent possession. How these promises and pledges have been fulfilled We leave dt to Democrats themselves to say. The sinking of the Maine and the war with Spain were unexpected things, but dn the avenging of the Maine by whipping Spain more of the unexpected happened. Tet in it all no failure has marked any effort of the administration and no pledge has been vio lated. In standing 'before the world very much greater, we are unquestionably much richer. More and greater events "have' come to pass during the two and a half years of Mc 2Cinley's administration than ever marked the history of any other single administration, that of Abraham Lincoln alone excepted. So there is little question left as to the issues, the men or the results of the coming national cam paign. Had Bryan lost his own state and thereby his right to a renomlnation, the Democratic party might have named la candidate who would have been harder to beat. But with every pledge redeemed by the Republican administration rnd not a single blunder or mistake to lay at the door of President McKinley, this country Is good for at least four more years of prosperity. Another Kansas War Threatened. There is one variety of war in which only the leaders are killed off, the privates in the ranks remaining un touched, a kind of battle in which generals and captains and even corporals go down to their death, the rank and file the while remaining in line unmoved and unbroken. A battle of this sort seems Impending in Kansas. "Whether it will prove a revolution or mere rebellion remains to be seen later on. The trouble is among Republican party leaders, and would Jje leaders, and the revolting side seemingly lacks only or ganization in order for the fur to fly. They have such a light on down in Ohio, and have had one lately In Michigan. The Republican party in these states does not seem to have suffered, but party leaders on one side and aspirants to be such on the other have been shelved, and will be shelved. IBossism is obnoxious, especially to those who In not being Fuch would be bosses themselves. "Stop thief" Is the rally ing cry of the would-be's, and "You're another" the defiant challenge 6f those who are successfully straddling the sad dle. The contention is one of men rather than of method. It may prove a case in which the hungry pig on the outside of the pen Is doing the squealing only because the one on the inside has his snoot up to his eyes in the swill of the official trough. There Is much of trust and combine charges on both sides. The threatened fight might prove deplorable. But there is little danger in that so long as there remains In the sea as good fish as were ever caught. If the threatened rebellion should prove a revolution it would be far reaching ns to the personnel of the Kansas official roster, but that it would seriously or otherwise affect the Republican party of the state we do not believe. A Whack at Woman's Perojratives. The Presbyterian Synod of Virginia, in that state of which and to whose people President McKinley said so many pleasant things two weeks ago, a synod whieh has been in1 fcession, among other things seriously considered the recom mendation that women be relegated to the position occupied by them in Biblical times, or at least to the church sphere assigned them by Paul. The resolution forbids that women shall hold office or bear rule In the church. What do west trn club women think of that? How would these Calvlnistic divines fare at the hands of the Colorado women who vote and hold office? What do the members of that Tacoma "W. C. T. U. convcntios, which resolved against the flag in the Philippines, propose in an ecclesiastical emergency such ns this? The recommendation holds that women must not speak In the house of worship. "Where can our Mollie Lease be? The paper under consideration goes on to say that'll Is proper for women to teach, but not in church or chapel, ex cept in Sun'day school; that she may sing in church. In pri vate prayer meetings of her own sex, and In missionary and aid societies. That kind of talk may be listened to down in Virginia, but It would not be tolerated In the west, in a Presbyterian synod or elsewhere, where the women come so near being the whole thing, and where she is in the .habit of having the last word. In secular, social and church life things out this way would fail to pieces if women were de nied a voice. She does not only the principal part of the praying and singing in the churches, but her full share of the preaching outside. Those good Virginia elders little dream of what a wreck the newer and higher civilization of the west would be should the women conclude to dissolve their clubs and refuse to longer head the procession. They not only speak and talk, but write, and even orate. One thing te evident, however, and that is that that Virginia synod Is too far behind the times or otherwise we are too far ahead of them. A National University at Washington. The city of "Washington is declined to become the art center and the educational center of the country in the fame eense that it is the political center, that is, in a kiwi oTper- I functory or interpretory sense. General Washington am bition was to found in Washington a university for which he intended to contribute 550,000, but was prevailed upon to dl lert his gift to the Lee University of Virginia. Bishop Hurst, of the Methodist church, is the champion of the American university plan as fulfilling the Idea and wish' of Washington. What the exact contention between the advo cates of the National university and the American untYer- sitv nlan to anvbodv but mi educator amounts w."- quibble. However, there is quite a spirited aght on between the friends of the National university and the friends of the American university. On one sMe is lined up the entire fol. lowing of the strong and influential -Methodist Episcopal church organizations, and on the other a large number of I distinguished college presidents who claim to be trying to follow out the original Ideas of George Washington. The latter group claims to feel confident of winning the sympa thy and support of the people and congress, but claim to be a little uneasy because the president as a Methodist might naturally be expected to lean favorably toward the unques tionably admirable plans of his friends and his church. There was a meeting in Washington last week of the committee of fifteen college presidents and educators ap pointed by the National "Educational association to urge upon the president that he recommend to congress the mo tion of the National university. The moving spirit in the meeting vas Dr. "W. R. Harper, president of the Chicago University. Other prominent educators present were: Presi dent Schurman, Cornell, President Angell, University of Michigan; President Eliot of Harvard, and President Wilson of Washington and Lee University. The plan for a national university in Washington origin ated with the Father of the Country, and the movement to realize that object has survived him through every admin istration that has followed and has been recommended to congress by nine different presidents, the last reepmmenda -non navmg been made by Garfield. George Washington's' idea was that the universjty should be post-graduate, non partisan, non-sectarian and non-denominational. When he laid oui the District cf Columbia he made a number of ies ervations for public uses, before the city was platted. Fourth in the list of reservations was a site for a national university, which is commonly known as the "old naval ob servatory site." An effort will be made this congress to pass the bill for the new .national university, and hence the president is being Implored to make specific recommendations to that end in his message to congress,. The movers of the enter prise expect to be opposed by the friends of the American university, and while the president is known to be a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal church and his sympa thies entirely with that denomination, they still hope to prevail upon him to give his official sanction to' the national university, an enterprise which they believe more nearly reali-zes the idea of George Washington. The Husband-Hunter, -v- Why in Such a Hurry. Physiologists maintain that the average life Is too short, and that while longevity has been greatly increased during the last century, nevertheless with the proper hygienic rules and sanitary observations centenarians would be common to every community. Instances "of amazing longevity are by no means uncommon in Russia, but the case of the brothers Kovalenko, aged respectively 112, 118 and 120 years, is cer tainly very remarkable even for that country. The three brothers have lived In the same place all' their lives, and are still strong and healthy. The eldest, Michael, is of the same age as was Moses at his "passing," and of him, as of that old world worthy, it can be truly said that "his eye is not dimmed nor his natural force abated." The ages are per fectly authentic, for the Russians always have their papers, in which the date of their birth is officially entered, and without which they cannot reside in any part of the empire. The Gold in Circulation. The annual report of United States Treasurer Roberts is a very isteresting and sugestive document It shows that the gold coin in circulation on September 30, 1899, amounted to $646,561,185. The report pertinently adds: "While dis bursements of gold have been so heavy, the holdings of the treasury in coin and bullion have surpassed all previous records both in gross amount and innet excess over out standing certificates. The estimated amount of gold in cir culation was 33.18 per cent of all the currency, and the gold in the treasury was 60.44 per cent of the United States notes and treasury "notes outstanding."

Couldn't Fool a Kansas Boy. An Iola soldier relates that one day General Otis came out on the firing line and ordered the shooting to cease. A Kansas boy who thought he was doing all sorts of damage to the Insurgents kept on shooting. "Didn't you hear my command to cease firing?" thundered the general. "Who are you?" asked the soldier. "I'm General Otis." "Otis, hell," responded the soldier; "I know that isn't so. Otis never comes out here." And bang went the gun. It is the purpose of this government to stand by its pledge regarding Cuba. We will give Cuba freedom, free dom to commit suicide, freedom from mutual participation in the best government on earth. A quarter of a century will show the result. Cuba will be laggard and inert still. The West Indies will be dominated commercially by Porto Rico. 3, The Democrats are not wholly without consolation. They can rellect that there are times when Mark Hanna remem bers that he lost his own county and retires to the privacy of his ow n chamber to test the limitations of forceful words in the English language. Goebel claims that he is elected by 4,000, and Taylor claims that he is elected by 4,000. But Goebel belongs to the waning party in Kentucky and his contest, If it comes, will make Kentucky Republican beyond a doubt General Sir Redvers Buller will not be able to get him self in motion against the Boers before Christmas. Buller is like a long freight train. The engine Is going twenty miles an hour before the caboosu starts to move. Lord Salisbury expects Great Britain to muddle through the Boer war. This will not reassure the Boers. The Anglo Saxon has a blundering force of character which la danger ous to un enemy. General Funston says: "I am not a hero. I do not feel like one." After this nation's experience wUh Hobson, it can assure Funston that he certainly does not kiss like one.

3rs. Dowey does not share her husband's Utta, but whae not admiral she is at least admirable "If you please, ma'am, could I speak to you for one minute?" asked Mrs. Locks ley. Theodora Dale started from the deep reverie in which ehe was burled, and looked up with large, startled eyes. "Certainly", Mrs. Locksley," said she. "What Is it?" "It's about the rent for the rooms, Mrs. Dale." said the landlady, drawing her self up with a little Jerk. "Two good months you've occupied 'em, and it stands to reason, ma'am, as a hard-working widow woman, as has only herself to look to, wants to see the color of her money. Not as I would have hurried you, ma'am," with a half-relenting gfctnee to ward Theodora's deep mourning gar ments, "while the poor major lay ill, nor yet while he was being buried. But Theodora looked pained. The deep scar let dyed her cheeks. "I am sorry to have inconvenienced you, Mrs. Locksley," she said, "but I was of course, obliged to settle the underta ker's bill at once, and that has taken, all the ready money which I had at com mand. I have written to my husband's relatives, however, and I exDect remlt- tance3 very shortly, which Mrs. Locksley compressed her lips. "I've heard that same thing from my jlodgers before, ma'am," said ,she. "All I can say is that I would very much like to have the bill paid as soon as possi ble." "It shall be paid tonight, Mrs. Locks ley, without fall," said Theodora, her cheeks becoming even hotter than before. And the instant the door closed upon the sh6rt, stout figure of the landlady she let her head fall upon her clasped hands and burst into tears, tears that were al most like distilled fire, so scalding and bitter were they. Theodora Dale had been married only three months. She had been a schoolgirl of 15 at Mme. Bonmercl's establishment, just out of Saratoga, when Major Lionel Dale saw and admired her at the Springs. SHe made some careless Inquiries about the young beauty with the gazelle-like eyes, scarlet lips and blue-black hair that clustered so low upon her forehead, and learned, in an incidental sort of way, that she was an orphan, training at the expense of Mme. Bonmerci herself for a governess. "Hang it!" said Major Dale, "she's too pretty for that! I'll marry her!" Little Theodora Mayder. who had scarcely left off playing with her dolls, and was heartily sick of Mme. Bonmercl's exactions on the one side and the uncon scious tyranny of the children on the other, was half frightened, half pleased, when the handsome, middle-aged major proposed matrimony to her. "But I am so young," she pleaded, the carnations and lilies succeeding each mother on her cheeks. "You are the prettiest little half bloom rosebud in the world," the major made answer, gallantly. Mme. Bonmerci spoke a word or so of warning to her. "My child," said she, "boware what you are about. He is three times your age he gambles It is true that your life now is a hard one. but "I shall marry him," retorted Theodora And she did. At the end of three months Major Dale's favorite horso, Meg Merrllies, ran awav with him and killed him and The odora, not yet 16, was left a widow. Naturally enough she wrote to her hus band's relatives, whom she had never seen, and now, upon this October even ing, she was expecting an answer to the letter. The color mounted to her face as the postman paused under her window she caught the letter from his hands and tore It eagerly open. It contained nothing but her own let ter, returned to her with these words penciled across the envelope: "Mr. Chandos Dale's compliments to the young lady who beguiled his brother Into a secret marriage, and he Is confidently of the opinion that her talents in the husband-hunting line need no assistance." And this cutting taunt, this gratuitous Insult, was all. Theodora sat pale and silent. She knew that her husband did not care to refer to his relatives much, generally avoiding the subject when she broached It but she had never dreamed that he had allowed them to think her a mere adventuress who had contrived to entrap him Into a disadvantageous marriage. She had long ere this discovered that Lionel Dale was a thoroughly selfish man, but she had never dreamed how selfish. But the blow, sharp and sudden as it was, nerved her to further exertions. She put on her hat, went out to the nearest Jeweler and sold her watch and chain Lionel's wedding present for probably about one-third of its worth. With this she paid her bill at Mrs. Locksley's. "Begging your pardon, ma'am," said the lodging-house keeper, "but what be' you going to do now?" "I am going to give music lessons," said Theodora. She had a full, fresh voice, like a lark's, and she knew that she could make this one ift of God a bread-winner. And the years crept by and the 16-year-old widow who stormed the citadel of for tune so bravely won the day. "Signora Theodora Dallil No; I have not heard her yet," said Chandos Dale, indifferently. "But they say she is the best Marguerite we have yet haff; and I have sent to secure a box for tomorrow night." Signora Dalli was in her best voice that night when Chandos Dale,, her brother-in-law, sat with folded arms in the prosce nium box. And the half-blown bud nf five years ago had ripened by this time into the full-blown rose of loveliness. Her blue-black hair floated like a jetty, glim mering veil of brightness. vAnd Chandos Dale, sitting there with intent eyes and an artist's soul, all alive to the flute-like richness of her voice, thought she was simply the most beauti ful cteature he had ever seen. The mayor of the city where the sig nora was sinning had a little private re ception in her honor after the opera wa over Chandos Dale, of course, was among the Invited guests; and then Sig nora Dalli knew who he was. "I have the advantage of him," said Theodora lo herself, smiling a curious smile "And I shall take care to retain It!" Just a month afterward Mr. Dale pro- j?osed to make the beautiful signora his wife "Axe you really In love with m'" said the signora, opening wide her almond shaped eyes, where the jetty fires seemed to burn with sleepy luster "with me an opera singer?"

The miners of South Afrloa tell many stories about Cecil Rhodes, whom they term the uncrowned King of Southern Af rica. Many of them are. of course, mere fabrications, but everything concerning Rhodes Is listened to with Interest in Af rica. The two following anecdotes will give the reader some idea of the charac ter of this great diamond king, whose life Is threatened by the Boer forces, which surround KImberley: In October, 1SH, Cecil Rhodes, accompa nied by one of bis brothers: John Hays Hammond, the American mining engineer, and Dr. Jameson, had returned from a tour of Matabeleland and Mashonaland. The party left the east coast at "Beira and landed at Delagoa Bay. At that time the railroad connecting Delagoa Bay with Pretoria was not completed, but to acr commodate Rhodes aad his party the Transvaal government had some tempora ry switches laid, so that the distinguish ed coterie couid reach Johannesburg via Pretoria The private car of Rhodes wa3 sent from Cape Town to Delagoa Bay. The party went from their steamer to the in the Hands of the Boers, One of the special corespondents of the London Standard, who was captured by the Boers, gives the following account of his experiences, whieh he forwards from Ladysmlth: The victory -of Gen.

We got through safely as far as Slands 2aagte. but at this point the si&aal was dead agalnbt us, and the driver pulled up. The bignal had been cleverly maa'a- ulated by a party of Boers, numbering special train, consisting of an engine1", a J about fifty, who has been lying In wait repair car and Mr. Rhodes private car. j for us.

It would be impossible for her to reach Pretoria until the next day. When sh'e heard that the great Cecil Rhodes would arrive at Bronkhorst Spruit at 4:30 p. m., she got herself ready and hurried to the station, with the hope that Mr. Rhodes would let her go on his train to her dying husband. When Rhodes' -special arrived, one of the Boer railroad JfcYicials laid the matter before Rhodes, and asked If he would take the unfortu nate wife on his train to Pretoria. "I can do nothing of the kind," was the reply of Rhodes. The decision of the diamond king was communicated to the woman, and on her kJ&ees she begged him to let her go on his train so that she might see her husband before he died. After she jftad pleaded with him for several minutes he finally turned around and in a gruff way said: "Well, if you must get to Pretoria you may ride on that tool car; I have business to attend to and I cannot accommodate j-ou in the private car." The poor woman was only too glad to ride to her husband In that way. She arrived at Pretoria covered with dirt and cinders." When the story of Rhodes chiv ulric conduct became known there was great indignation at Pretoria, and many Englishmen" At Johannesburg considered that he had been most brutal. The Boers, of course, felt that he had illy repaid the courtesies that they had extended to him. Many said that he had simply acted In that manner to show his hatred for the isoers, Dut oiners saia tnat nis natrea oi an women is so strong mat ne couta not bear to have one, especially a Boer- .ess, ride in his private car. During the early KImberley days, when Rhodes and Barney Barnato were laying the foundation of their great fortunes, the two were competitors In a large dia mond trade. Barnato was as slick and as sly as a fox, and no one was known, to have got the better of him in a trade. Rhodes was aware of this, and was more than anxious to get the b'est of Barney, who had over $1C0 000 worth of diamonds In the rough sorted ready for the deal. Rhodes went to him and said: "My! what a fino layout you have, Barney. I would like to see those diamonds all In one Jieapl" Before the astonished Barney could object Rhodes had swept the whole pile of diamonds Into a large wooden bucket. It took Barney Barnato three days to re-eort his gems, and In the meantime RhodeB had a corner on the market, and sold his diamonds before Barney got through resorting his lot. Rhodes made about $50,000 by that trans action. After that Incident Barnato took care that the wily Rhodes had no oppor tunity to play the same" trick on him. Outside of Paul Kruger, the Rt Hon. Cecil J. Rhodes Is the greatest charac ter In Africa. His achievements have teen wonderful. When a young man the physicians told his father, who was an Episcopal clergyman, that Cecil had bet ter gro to Madeira, as he was dying of consumption, one lung being entirely gone. It was at this stage that the boy asserted himself, saying that if he had to die he would sooner go 'i his brother in Natal Before young Rhodes had reach ed Cape Town his consumption was bet ter, and two years with his brother en tirely cured him. He returned to Erfgland and entered college at Oxford, but did not graduate, as his old consumptive com plaint began to return. He again return ed to South Africa, landing at Cape Town and went with the diamond, seekers to the KImberley fields When he arrived there Jie had only $30 in his possession, but this sum proved the foundation of his great 'fortune and great power. He un dertook to keep the various claims of the miners clear of water for a ?!ven sum monthly. He soon had 2,000 Kaffirs work ing for him. When th miners were un able to pay him he got them to ded him thpir claims Within two years Rhodes found that he possessed the majority of the diamond claims, with no capital to work them; but he was equal to the oc casion, and he managed to Interest En- sllsh capltallats. and formed th great De Bers company, with himself as the president.

Such Is the man that I bitterly hated by the Boers, and who hates them in return with equal fervor.

Our driver ran right into the trap, and we found ourselves prisoners before we twell knew what had occurred. Directly they had secured the train, the Boers cut the telegraph line and tore up the track. We ourselves were treated well, though the Field Cornet In com mand warned up that any one attempt ing to escape would. If discovered, be shot down. At the same time he as sured us that the Boers were not sav ages. Those under his charge consisted of Transvaalers, Free Staters, and DutcB men from Cape Colony who were Brit ish subjects. My enforced stay with the enemy was not without Its amusing fea tures. I found them a great deal less truculent In manner than In appearance At first sight, thanks to the Infinite va riety of their costumes, they might havo been mistaken for a picturesque band of brigands. The majority of them were attired in shirts and trousers, with red and blue fancy-patterned scarfs, and for midable slouch hats. Some of them, the day aftor the cap ture of the train, when Its contents had been looted and shared, came out in the most fantastic garb. Several appeared. In military greatcoats, and one young fellow Strutted about proudly wearing a staff officer's cap, while another was consider ably Inconvenienced by a huge sabre clanking iat his heels. But, uno!dler!y as they might seem to an eye accustomed to the neatness of Aldershot there was no mistaking th'ir physical fitness Near- all of them were strong, powerfully built men. while a few were veritable giants. They were all in the highest spirits. For Instance, on the night of our cap ture, the Field Cornet was Induced to preside over an Impromptu smoking con cert. The Boers are extremely fond of music, and It was amusing to see a Po hannesburger playing the piano, with his gun still slung over his shoulder, while his more rustic comrades stood" around him spellbound. They sang the Transvaal "Volkslled" with immense fervor and (volume of sound. The one subject of their talk was their resolute determina tion to fight to the last for the independ ence of their country. Gen. dc Koch, with a few guns and 1,600 men. Including a Gorman contingent, arrived In camp the same night It was evident to us, from the conversation of the leaders, that a battle was Impending.
