STATE JOURKAU TTJESPAT EVENING, JUNE 26. 1894. READY TOOUBIAL TheEemain s of PresidentCarnot Taken to Paris. The Funeral Will Take Place There Sunday. LOSE THEIR HEADS. French Wreak Vengeance on Italians In Lyons. Irowa, June 25. The streets of this city were yesterday thronged with crowd of excited people. A large number of stores are closed. Serious rioting' has already occurred and more trouble is anticipated. Were it not for the presence of the over whelming force of troops stationed in and about the city there is little doubt that the mob would attack the palace of justice and wreak vengeance upon the murderer. Mourning' em blems are worn by nearly every man, woman and child in the city, and no dwelling seems too poor to display the emblem of grief from its windows and about its doors. The majority of the inhabitants are wearing small mourning- badg-es of immortelles in their buttonholes, in addition to crepe around their arms. All the flags are drapad with crepe, and a countless number of portraits and engraving-s of the late president surrounded by crepa are to be seen displayed in the windows everywhere. Last evening the remains of the dead president were removed from the apartments in the prefecture and the procession through the streets was reverently witnessed. No sooner had the cortege gone by, however, before a great change appeared in the crowd. The people who had here tofore stood reverently and mute be fore the nation's martyr, now gave vent to their pent-up excitement and rage. Everywhere could be heard ries of "Long- live Carnot and death to his murderer!" The sudden transition in the feel ings of the crowd boded ill for the resident Italians, and when some of the more hot headed men in the crowd proposed that an attack be made upon the Italian quarter, the proposition was received with wild shouts of approval. In almost less time than it takes to tell t an enor mous mob, at the head of which was carried a French flag, was en route to that part of the city given over to the Italians, and before the police could intervene to prevent the trouble the mob had attacked all the shops belonging to the foreigners and sacked them. The proprietors and their families were forced to flee for their lives. In the meantime another larg-e band marched through other streets and by threats compelled every Italian who kept a cafe, to close his place of business. As the night advanced the rioting in the city became more widespread, and at one time it looked as though the mobs would take full possession of the town. In the Guillotierie quar ters the disturbances were particu larly violent. Thousands of men and boys paraded the streets, and attacked and sacked every Italian store they came across. Much of the loot ob tained by the rioters consisted of liquors, part of which was drank by the rioters, while what was not so disposed of was either poured into the streets and set on fire or burned in the casks and barrels which were rolled into the middle of the thor oughfares. Many acts of violence were committed and threats of death to Italians were freely bandied about. A number of arrests were made when the trouble was at its height, but the prisoners were subsequently liberated by the gen d'armes, who were vociferously applauded by the mob. Many of the ringleaders, who had fallen into the hands of the po lice, only later to be set at liberty, were carried in triumph to similar riotous scenes being enacted in other quarters. BAMO'S PAST LIFE, IT Bad Escipid From Frlam, Wher. lie Waa Serving it Sentence. Milan", June 26. An interview was had with the sister of Santo, the as sassin of President Carnot. She said that from the time he was 10 years old her brother had been a frequent attendant at anarchist gatherings. He was especially devoted in his attend ance at meetings presided over by the prominent anarchist advocate, Gori, with whom Santo was infatuated. Unhappily, the sister added, her brother's occupation as a baker had left him ample leisure for this pur pose. The police learned of Santo' s anarchistic tendencies, and on one oc casion searched hia house, securing a number of incendiary pamphlets. His mother and sister, fearful of what might become of him, tried to get him to abandon anarchism and devote himself to his trade and harmless pleasures. The warning of the police and the pleadings of his relatives, however, had no effect. Santo appeared to ba infatuated with the idea of spreading anarchist propaganda and the police kept a watchful eye upon him. Three months later he was detected, in com pany with other anarchists, in dis tributing anarchist literature among the soldiers. For-this offense he was arrested, tried, convicted ana sen tenced to five years imprisonment. He was a youth of resource, however, and after serving part of his sentence, he managed to effect hia escape from the prison In which he was confined and fled to Luganoth Lugano. After this the family heard nothing' of him until six 'months ago, when a letter was received from him an nouncing that he was still seeking work. His sister, said that when she head the name of Santo mentioned in connection with the murder of President Carnot he felt certain that it was that of her brother. The proprietor of the bakery where Santo has been employed four year taid he knew little of Santo outside of the work he did. 'but he scouted the idea that Santo was the author of Anarchist pamphlets. He was too ignorant and uneducated to write anything. The man admitted that he knew Santo was infatuated with the Anarchists i KOT AK IT1LIAK." Santo Cornea From the 8outhrniit Canton of Switzerland.' Pakis, June 2G. Santo, the mur derer, has boldly asserted that he is an anarchist, and therefore upon the the anarchists are "the people pouring their wrath. Further than asserting that he is an anarchist the prisoner has not apparently made any state ment, but it is. reported that the po lice are convinced that the assassina tion of President Carnot is the result of a plan, in which some other of the people are concerned. Indeed, there no longer seems to be much doubt that the president's assassination was the result of an anarchistic conspiracy to aveng-e .the deaths of Vaillant and Emil Henri, the two recently executed anarchists. A dispatch' from Rome says that the investigation which the Italian au thorities Jiave made into the identity of Santo the assassin, shows that he is not an Italian, but that he comes from Ticino, the southernmost canton of Switzerland, where the large ma jority of the inhabitants speak Italian. Another dispatch from Rome says Santo is the son of Marie Broglio and Antoine Caesavio. He joined the An archists at an early ag-e. In Janu ary, 1892, he tried, with two fellow Anarchists, to start a newspaper, but was unable to raise the funds neces sary to float it. The police watched him until the end of 1S93, when he went to Switzerland. As a result of police inquiry the fol lowing facts in regard to the assas sin's movements previous to the crime have been learned: Santo missed the train running direct to Lyons from Cette on Saturday and had to g-o to MontPellier and thence to Vienna. From there he was unable to pay his fare on the train to Lyons, having only sixty centimes in his pocket, and was obiig-ed to walk thirty miles. He arrived at Lyons the same afternoon. Examining Magistrate Benoist yes terday ordered the assassin- to ba brought before him, and questioned him regarding' the crime. The pris oner, however, obstinately refused to make any statement further than announcing- that he would explain his moiive to the jury when the proper time arrived. TAKEN" TO PAKIS. Remains of the Murdered President Re moved to tiie Nation' Capital. Lyons, June 26. The body of M. Carnot was taken from the prefecture last evening- and placed on the train that will convey it to Paris. After prayers for the dead had been offered the casket containing the remains was carried out and placed on a gun carriage. While this was being done, salutes of artilery were fired, trumpets were sounded and drums were beaten. All civil and military honor was shown the dead. The square in front of the prefecture was densly thronged, as were all the streets leading to the railway station. Troops and gen d'armes kept the route clear. The procession that followed the body was a very lengthy one. It in cluded all the civil and military authorities of Lyons and a large number of delegates from different cities and towns. As the sad cortege passed slowly along1 the streets were remarkably quiet. Almost the only sound that could be heard were the tramping1 of the horses and of the gun carriages. Every man along the line of march removed his hat as the body passed him and there were silent prayers offered for the repose of M. Carnot's soul. Upon the arrival of the cortege at the railway station the casket was tenderly lifted from the gun carriage and conveyed into a saloon carriage. The remains were attended by the officers of M. Carnot's military house hold, who had accompanied him to Lyons. In another carriage were Mme. Carnot and her three sons. A large crowd was assembled about the station, and as the train started on its journey for Paris many signs of the deepest emotion were displayed. IN THE CHAMBER. Formal Announcement of the PresI- dent'a Assassination Made. Paris, June 26. The chamber of deputies was thronged to the utmost and there was great excitement when Prime Minister Casimer-Perier en tered. Every person present arose and remained standing while the pres ident of the chamber of deputies read M. Dupuy's letter making the formal announcement of the death of Presi dent Carnot and adding that the whole of France was stupefied by the abominable crime. M. Dupuy also said: "From all parts expressions of emotion and sorrow are arriving1. France weeps at the loss of the loyal servant and upright citizen who carried, with honor and fidelity, the national flag-. and who awakened in ings which show how Europe feel- great is the we are now will ever re- ordeal through which passing. The republic member President Carnot. All our sympathies are with the family, which mourn his loss and which, like him, is worthy of France. The whole country joins in fhe indignation felt at the crime." M. Casimer-Perier, after he had finished reading the premier's letter, said: "The chamber of deputies and France associate themselves with these words. Let us bow respect fully before the tomb which closes over a life of devotion to the father land and to the republic." The president of the chamber of dep uties then expressed condolence with the family, concluding with: "France remains brave and strong1 even in the day of national mourning." The chamber of deputies .then ad- journed. THE PrNEKAL. It Will Take Pine Sunday Will Be I -aid In the Pantheon. Paris, June 26. The funeral of President Carnot has been fixed for Sunday. The remains" will be laid in the Pantheon, where Victor Hugo is buried, beside those of Lazare Carnot, the president's grandfather. It is said that M. Carnot shrank from going to Lyons. He was long in deciding to make the journey on ac count of his recent ill-health. When, however, his friends began to talk of the Lyons anarchists avenging; Vail lant's'death the president thought he was in honor bound to g-o. CLEVELAND ON FINANCE. The President Talks on tbe Goverst .BMnt's Monetary Situation. Washington, June 28. The presi dent speaking- of the financial situa tion, said yesterday: "The offer of certain of the New York banks to replace from their vaults the g-old withdrawn from the g-overnment treasury for shipment abroad is certainly thoughtful and patriotic It not only tends to main tain the treasury's g-old reserve in good condition, but adds to the stock of popular confidence, which is at all times important. "The elements which make up our actual situation do not justify any apprehension and the administration still adheres to its pledge and deter mination to protect -our national credit at all hazards and to keep the quality of our money equal to the best, so far as the limits of executive power permits. Of coursa, croaking1 and the spread of disquieting tales are calculated to alarm in the.string' ent" financial condition. I assume, however, that there is too much parti otism among our people and too much familiarity with out resources and capabilities to p'ermit our re served force and financial vig'or to be discredited. "When the last government bonds were issued to replenish our stock of gold it was nearly as low as now. While outside of our gold we had as available money to pay ordinary ex penses of the government only about $519,000,000, we have now besides our g-old, and in money applicable to gov ernment expenses more than $53,000, 000. I understand it is charged in certain quarters that the payment of matured obligations is oostponed to the amount of 60,000,000 or 375,000, 000. This is not true. We are paying as we g'o in the usual way. "Last year, up to June, the balance against us arising- from tbe exports and imports of merchandise, exclud ing gold and silver, was S64, 552,040. The balance in our favor for the same period this year was 62,960,562, representing- a change in our favor of 8127,512,608. These conditions, taken in consideration with the willingness of our banks to help the treasury dur ing any temporary or unusual drain cf gold, ourht to satisfy the most con servative of our safety. It must not be forgotten as another favorable feature in tbe situation, that we are no longer purchasing silver or issuing g'old obligations therefor." THE TAYLORS CAUGHT. Tbe Fiendish Murderers of the Sleeks Family Captured in Arkansas. Little Eock, Ark., June 26. Wil liam H. Taylor, a banker from Browning-, Mo., and his brother, George Taylor, a farmer, who was charged with having1 murdered the Meeks family near Browning, Mo., and for whose arrests rewards aggreg-ating1 SS.000 have been offered, are regis tered at Gleason's hotel in this city. They are nominally under arrest, be ing in charge of Hon. Jerry South, ex member of the state legislature, who arrested the men at Buffalo City, Sat urday and brought them to this city. The men admit their identity, but claim to be innocent of the atrocious crime with which they are charged. They are willing to return to Brown ing and stand trial, and say they fled to avoid violence. An unusual feature in the case is that their captor, Mr. South, heincr a delegate to the Democratic state con vention, which convenes here next Wednesday, proposes to remain in this city with the Taylor boys until the convention adjourns. DEATH FOR ANARCHISTS. Such a Kill Introduced in Congress by Representative Stone. Washixgtojt, June 26. The follow ing bill was yesterday introduced in the house by Representative Stone of Pennsylvania, and referred to the judiciary committee: "Be it enacted, etc., that any person or per sons who shiU belong: to. or who shall be ap pointed, desi -n-ite-1 or employed by any so ciety or or anization existing- in this country or in any forei.n country, which provide in writin t or by verbal agreement, understand ing or countenance, for the takin-r of human life unlawfully, or for tho unlawful destruc tion of buildings or other property where tbe loss of human life is the prob.ib e result of sui-b. destruction of property, shall be deemed an anarchist. 'Any person or persons bein anarchists, as clHned by th j first section of this act, who sh-ill attempt the life of any person holding nice, elective or appointive, under the con stitution and laws of the United States, or who shuil attempt the destruction of buildings or other property where the loss of life of uny such. United States official would oo the prob able result of such destruction of buildin rs or other property shall, upon trial and convic tion of such offense in any circuit or district court of the district where such offense was attempted, be sentsnced to death by hanging, which sentence shall be executed by the mar shal in the district in accordance with the sentence of the Judje before whom the case was tried." Is I)r. Fraker Alive? Excelsior Sprixgs, Mo., June 26. There is considerable speculation here again over the now famous Dr. Fraker drowning- case. A represen tative of the insurance companies has been here interviewing certain im portant witnesses and has stated that two persons are now here who will swear that they saw the missing- man at the world's fair and elsewhere after he was supposed to have been drowned. CONDENSED TELEGKAMS. United States District Judg-e Bell inger of Portland, Ore., granted an application, for the appointment of a separate receiver for tbe Oregon Rail way and Navigation company. E. 'R. McNeil was appointed receiver. In Clinton, Iowa, Police Captain Cole stepped into a saloon to stop a fight, and the entire company in the saloon jumped on him. In the melee he shot William Rener, who died from the effects. Captain Cole was so bad 1 io-iurad ha bad to be carried away TOWN BLOWN AWAY. KeigUley, Batler County, Kan., Swept by Wind. One Man Known to Have Been Killed. BUILDINGS WRECKED, A Freight Train is Turned Upside Down. Wichita, Kan., June 26. At 7:30 last evening a terrible tornado from the southwest struck the village of Keighley, Butler county, and nearly wiped the little town out of existence. All the telegraph wires are down and the information was broug-ht to Leon by a courier, who rode over on a syift horse. The details are meagre, but it is known that Ed Thurman was crushed to death in a stable and many were pinned under falling1 bouses, receiv ing serious injuries. It is thought that many were killed, as the tornado swept on its course as far east as tHe people could see it. Two g-eneral stores, the largest buildings in the village, were crushed like eggshells. A freight train was standing on the 'Frisco track at the time and six cars were lifted up and turned up side down. The wreck is standing on the track, piled up thirty feet high, and trains cannot pass. HAIL, LIGHTNING AND KAIS. Terrific Storm at Hardin, Mo., and Vicin ity Mach Damage Done. IIahdin, Mo., June 26. Severe rain and wind storms have occurred in this vicinity since Sunday afteroon, the most severe, however, occurring yesterday afternoon when the rain poured down in torrents for three or four hours, accompanied by hail and wind. Much damage has been done to the wheat, many fields being- laid fiat with with the ground. Some corn fields were infected with chinch bugs and the rain will drown them out. While the storm was on a young son of Dr. McGrew, about 9, stepped out on the porch and reached his arm out for a hailstone, when a falling- stone struck it, breaking-the arm just above the elbow. The Wabash passenger train had all of the north panes of the coaches knocked out by the hail be tween here and Norborne. The hail! was the largest ever known to have fallen here. Some stones weighed af ter the storm had ceased balanced one-half and three-quarter pounds. House Wrecked by X-lghtnlng-. No'btojtviixe, Kan., June 26. Light ning1 played havoc here yesterday. Two horses belonging to Jesse Maris ivere killed, and the house of C. O. Janssen was badly wrecked. Miss Jolivet of St- Louis, who was visiting1 at Mr. Janssen's, had a very narrow escape from instant death. About three and a half inches of rain has fallen here in the last twenty-four hours. SONS OF VETERANS. Tenth Annual Eacamnnunt of Missouri Divisiou Held at Sedalia. Sedalia, Mo., June 26. Upwards of 150 delegates, representing seventy nine encampments are in attendance upon the tenth annual encampment of the Missouri division Sons of Veterans which commenced in this city yester day. Among the many prominent persons attending1 the encampment are Department Commander Louis Grund and staff. Commander-in-Chief Maccabe of Boston and Miss Belle Grey, national president of the Ladies' Aifl society. Commander Ernst's report showed that there had been a marked in crease in the number of camps and membership during theiyear, the in crease being more than fifteen per cent over that of last year. Other reports showed that there are seventy-nine camps in the division, having- a total membership of 1,898, and that during the year the indebt edness of the division had been paid off, $1,600 paid out for benefits, and there was in the treasury 253.

The Ladies' Aid society, auxilliary to the Sons of Veterans, met in annual session in Knights of Pythias hall, I Miss Maude Crosson of Kansas City, president of the society, presiding. BAD FOR PRENDERGAST. The Assassination of Carnot May Influ ence the Little Assassin's Case. Chicago, June 25. The assassina tion of President Carnot, of France, has added fresh interest to the case of Carter Harrison's murderer, Pren- dergast, whose insanity case g-ot fair- j ly underway yesterday. It was free I ly predicted in the court room that i this latest slaying of a public char acter would have its effect on the Prenderg-ast jury, the members of which are not denied newspapers, and the material would ba fouod in the person of Prenderg-ast for an example to would-be assassins. The sixteenth annual Turnbesiek of the Upper Mississippi Turners is in progress in Clinton, Iowa. Des Moines won the classjuinping- and Daven port the vaulting horse and iron bar class exercise. About 500 Turners are present. The worst blood diseases are cured with Ayer's Fariaparilla. Its effects are felt at once. HE TOOK PRECAUTIONS. tow m Supposed; Case of Scarlatina Waa Guarded try a Parent. "Well, dear, what did the doctor sayr" "He thinks it is scarlatina, James. "Ah, I foared something of the-sort!" "But he could not be certain until to morrow. I have just given the child a hot bath and put him to bed." ''Now, listen, my dear. We must take time by the forelock and prevent the fever spreading. It is a very serious thing In the case of adults, and, as you know, I have never had it. Perfect isolation is the great thing and unlimited disinfectants. Take up the carpet in Tommy's bedroom at once, take down the curtains and pic tures and reutove everything that you can to the back yard; also take up the stair carpets. As he has been sitting in the breakfast room all the morning, we will lock the door until I can fumigate it 'But, James, dear" 'Don't stop arguing, Lucy.- We shall be losing valuable time. I'll run round to the chemist's for a few things. In- the meantime just see that there is plenty of hot water for disinfecting baths And fas ten sheets over all the door. And what ever' you do, Lucy, keep cool. Don't be frightened or nervous. I shan't bo long. By Jove, I've got a nasty sore throat my self 1 I hope it's nothing." e "Disinfectants, sir?" "Yes. There's a serious outbreak of fe ver at our house. What have you got?" 'Hosking's patent purifier" "Send a dozen bottles to go on with." "Dabb's fluid" "Same quantity." "Wobdter's ozone disseminator" "Six will be enough." "Jasper's disinfectant, an excellent arti cle." "I'll have a dozen of that." "Carbolic acid, sir?" "Well, yes. Say a gallon, and a pound of permanganate of potash crystals." "Anything else, sir?" "A quarter of a hundredweight of chlo ride of lime, three or four pounds of rock sulphur, and put in anything else you can think of that I have forgtten. How soon can you send those?" 'Immediately, sir. I see my boy has just como back with the cart. ''Now, my dear, the disinfectants are here. Is everything ready?" "I think so, James. The master of the house then took off his coat, turned up his shirt sleeves and set about his task. First of all he sent hia wife to Tommy's room and peremptorily ordered her to remain there for six weeks. He then emptied a bottle of Jasper's dis infectant into a bucketful of water, and with a garden syringe proceeded to play upon tha sheets fastened over the doors until the landing was converted into a running brook and the stairs into a small cascade. The drawing room underneath resembled the dropping well at Knares bor ough, and the ceiling of the hall was cov ert' il with liquid brown beads. He next powdered every room with Wobster's ozone disseminator until it look ed like the interior of a flourmill. It was almost impossible to move without put ting your foot in a bowl of Dabb's fluid or knocking over a dish of Hosking's patent purifier. Then he transferred the contents of the kitchen fire to a large metal dish, which he deposited on an iron support in the lit tle breakfast room and covered with four pounds of crushed rock sulphur, carefully sealing windows and doors and closing the register of the fireplace. After that he poured half a gallon of carbolic acid down the sink and covered the scullery floor an inch deep with chlo ride of lime. By this time the atmosphere of the place had become a little oppressive, and it is perhaps not surprising that both he and the servant felt sick. This he interpreted, as another bad symptom, but he was sat isfied that he had done all he could. He then proceeded to take a hot bath, in which he had dissolved half an ounce of the potash crystals, and went to bed, having thoroughly drilled the servant in the precautions she should take and or dered her to take a similar bath herself. He hardly slept at all that night. First he had a very sore throat, then pains in the back. He was feverish, too decided ly feverish; felt sick and had a quick pulse. When he crept .down stairs in the early morning, his legs shook beneath him, and he looked no, he did not look pale. He would have done so, though, had not the strong solution of potash crys tals dyed him a rich brown. When the maid, a perfect "nut brown maid, saw that her master was the same color as her self, she grinned from ear to ear. "What are you laughing at, you"-booby?" he exclaimed in anger. "Isn't it better to be copper colored than fever stricken? There's the doctor at the door. Let him go up stairs." When the modical man came down and met the anxious father at the foot of the stairs, he could hardly keep a serious coun tenance. "Well, doctor, how is the patient?" "Quite well, I'm glad to say." "Quite well!" "Yes. It was only a bilious attack, aft er all just a little overeating or some thing of that sort." Tommy's father was for the moment speechless. He could not make up hia mind whether he ought to thrash his off spring or the doctor. It wasn't exactly that he was sorry it was not scarlatina, after all, but he wanted to kick somebody. He didn't care particularly who it was and would have kicked himself if he had been able. "Doctor, he at length gasped out, "I've been fooled! I don't say you've done it, but I feel I've been fooled. Five hundred dollars won't cover the damage and ex pense of this business. But I should like you to distinctly understand one thing I'm not at all a nervous man. Don't get that idea into your head. But I believe in taking proper precaution in always being on the safe side." "I quite understand," said the doctor, "and it is very laudable, but don't you think that it is sometimes possible to have just a little too much of a good thing?" Tit-Bits. Too Much Dissipation.

Behanzin, king of the Daliomans, who has given the French forces in western Africa bo much trouble during the past four or five years, and who recently sur rendered to General Dodda after being defeated by the French, and deserted by UNO BEHANZIN. almost all his followers; Behanzin the barbarian, for whom hia army of ama zons once fought with the fury of de mons incarnate, and whose only civilized trait seems to have been an almost Euro pean disregard for the solemn obliga tions of treaties when they no longer suited, him; Behanzin the cruel, who made slaves of his captives, and whose career was one long tragedy of bloodshed and pillage, is now a prisoner on the French island of Martinique, where he is coiiueiuiieu to pass wie remainoer oi his life in exile far from, the land that once groaned beneath hia absolute and merciless sway. When Behanzin sent hia expedition into Porto Novo in 1892, his fierce ama eoxis pillaged and devastated a number of villages, carrying hundreds of prison ers to Abomey. The French immediate ly eent messengers to the king demand ing the instant release of tho prisoners. The reply was conveyed to Porto Novo by a Dahoman warrior ajid consisted of a large basket containing the heads of the French messengers. Then the French marched on Abomey. King Behanzin was outmanuvered, and he retreated, burning and destroying as he went. He issued an order for all hia subjects to follow him. The French en tered Abomey without opposition. Be hanzin was abandoned by almost all of his people, and his brother was made king by General Dodds. Behanzin then sent a message to the French general, offering to surrender on condition that he should not be delivered into tho hands of the new king, saying that he would prefer death to humiliation. The French man assured him of personal safety and told him he wou 1.be exiled and provided with the means of living. With Benhazin at Martinique are four of his wives, one of hia children and four servants. The French government al lows him a stipend of 12,000 francs a year. Martinique is one of the West In dia islands and a French colony. Fort de France, the chief town, with a popula tion of about 1 8, 000, stands on a bay on the west coast.

JUNE 26. 1894 e Tried True may well be said of the Superior Medicine, the standard blood-purifier, ifUv SARSAPARILLA Its long record assures you that what has cured others will cure you PERSONAL GOSSIP. Governor Tillman has been blind ol an eye since he waa 15 years old Christopher Grove, a 93-year-old resi dent of Bethany, Ind., ia cutting a new set of teeth. The Marquis of Salisbury goes so lit tle into society that it is said he was actually unacquainted with some of the subordinate members of his late cabinet. Tom Reed has taken to the weed again. Until the beginning of the pres ent congress he had not touched a cigar for four years, but he has gone back to his old habits.

Deafness Cannot be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining' of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition,hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous tufaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Bend for circulars, free. F. J.

Easily Made If Care Is Taken tn the MeaJ- Turccaent and folding-. How to keep useful articles in a small compass and within easy reach of a berth often perplexes people who travel. For this purpose a steamer bag is very useful. It is easily made if care is taken in the measurement and folding. Take a Bquare of drab linen, or any material that is alike on both sides, and bind it all around neatly with braid. Cut the square diagonally, and place one part exactly over the other. Crease these down the center from point to base, calling this line number one. On each side of the center line crease or draw six ,dlnes, numbering from the center, dividing the base line into fourteen equal parts, as in Fig. 1. Stitch the two pieces together on each side down lines 3, then down lines 4, then stitch together the lines 5 of tho FIG. 2. upper piece. Next stitch the pieces to gether on each side down lines 6, stitch ing lines 7 of the upper piece together as was done at lines 5. Now fold so that lines 5 and 7 of the upper piece will be over the center line and lines 5 and 7 of the under piece will be at the outer edges of the bag. Turn the two email pieces of each side so that'they will meet at the base line ever line 6. Bind with braid from A across the bottom to B, and sew loops of the braid at the two upper points and at A and B, and you will have a most convenient bag with fifteen pockets of various Bizes, as seen in Fig. 2. Youth's Com panion. Bead ud Pearl Ornament. Sashes of soft, black gauze and of moire, with long floating ends, are much liked, and bead ornaments of every de scription, especially those in fine jet with festoons and fringes of beads, aro lavishly used. Pearls and gold beads form charming ornaments for evening dresses; a bodice for instance, in shot straw color and salmon pink silk, has a large puffed sleeve finished off above the elbow with Louis XIII. revers of silk, pearls, and gold beads above a flounce of guipure. The bodice, open In a V point, is embroidered in the same wayand epaulets to correspond fall from the shoulders. Bow to KUk Chmie Straws, To make cheese -straws, work to a smooth paste three ounces of grated Parmesan cheese, two ounces of flour, a little salt and cayenne pepper, and the yolk of one egg. Roll this mixture upon a pie board until about an eighth of an inch thick and five or six inches each way across; cut in very narrow strips, place upon buttered tins and bake quickly to a light brown tint. Small rings are sometimes cut and baked in addition to the straws, and before placing on the table the straws are thrust through the rings, forming1 fagots. Ladies' Home Journal- l. 1 I -J 6 j jt r j s 6 r FIS. 1. MARSHALL FIELD. Known as the greatest merchant in the world and founder of the Field Columbian Moseum at Chicago. Ho was born In Massachusetts fifty-nine years ago. When twenty-one he came to Chicago and engaged In the dry goods business. His success was phenomenal, the business of his house now amounting to 40,000,000 every year. At the close of the World's Fair he contrib uted (1,000,000 toward the establishment of the museum which now bears his name. The Shoe IdLtchet. A clever woman laces her low shoes with narrow, flat, black elastic, sewing the ends securely. This method enables the wearer to slip the shoe on and off with ease, and a bow of black satin rib bon tied at the top covers the place of joining. The difficulty of keeping the ordinary shoestring tied is generally ad mitted, and of late the fisherman's "salmon knot" has been adopted with much comfort. This is easily tied and consists in putting the second loop of the bow twice through the knot instead of once, as in the usual way. It may be untied "without trouble, but will not slip or come undone, no matter what the strain. XI ie Massachusetts Senate. The bill to allow women to act a9 notaries public has been defeated in the Massachusetts senate 12 to 10.

Tho capability of Miss Wilkinson-, who is tho successful landscape garden er of the Metropolitan Public Garden as sociation of London, has suggested to American women a new vocation that may in time be opened to them, a voca tion both healthful and delightful.

At a New York suffrage meeting, held at Mrs. Frank Leslie's, that lady said: "If I am an indifferent agitator, it is because of my absolute and serene conviction that universal women's suf frage is near at hand.

Boston has a woman who owns and conducts a printing establishment which sends work all over the country. This is Miss Anna Florence Grant, a young woman about 25 years old, who came from Portland, Me., and who, by her enterprise, has built up a large job print ing establishment. She i3 now at work compiling a Boston woman's directory. A Hint to Heiresses. The French courts have recently de cided that a woman's dot, or marriage portion, is the property of her husband. American heiresses about to marry a French title will do well to make a note of this. It is said that a strong agi tation is to be begun in France in favor of a married woman's property act. Indian Service Matrons. The secretary of the interior has ap proved the plan of increasing the force of field matrons of the Indian service, recently recommended by Commissioner Browning. There are only five matrons now on the rolls, and the appointment of 20 more will probably be asked for. Washington Capital. Nearly Forty Thousand of Them. There are nearly 40,000 women cy clers in the United States. New Eng land and New York claim half of this number, but with good roads the sport is fast spreading in the west, and it is only a question of time before the "east will hold second place in numbers.

The Negro Met the Lawyer on His Own Ground. A Kentucky lawyer was standing on the steps of the Covington postoffice the other day, when an old colored man came up and touching his hat asked: "Kin you tell me is dis de place where dey sells postage stamps?" "Yes, sir. This is the place," replied tho lawyer, peeing a chance of a little quiet fun, "but what do you want with postage stamps, uncle?" "To mail a letter, sab, of course." "Well then, you needn't bother about stamps. You don't have to put any on this week. "I don't?" "No, sir." "Why for not?" "Well, you see, the conglomeration of the hypothenuse has differentiated the parallelogram so much that the con sanguinity don't emulate the ordinary effervescence, and so the government has decided to send letters free. The old man took off his hat dubious ly, shook hi: head and then, with a long breath, remarked: "Well, boss, all dat may be true, an I don't say it ain't, but just s'posen dat de eckcentri'iity of the aggregation tran substintuatcs de ijjnominiousness of de puppindiceler and sublimites de pus picuity of de consequences don't you qualificate dat de government would confiscate dat dare letter? I guess I'd jest better put some stamps on anyhow, fer luck!" And the old man passed solemnly down the street. Exchange. He Explained It. James Wilson cf New Hampshire used to tilt with Jeremiah Smith occasional ly. Once, while they were journeying together on horseback, Wilson rode on ahead, and meeting a stranger passed himself off to him as Smith, then a member of congress. When the two at torneys stopped for the night, Wilson related, in the prcsenco of some friends, what a great dignitary he had been mis taken for. "Oh, no," said Smith, "the man knew better. He said: 'You Jerry Smith? Why, he's a respectable man. A man of the name of Smith being ar raigned in court for a criminal offense, Wilson asked Smith how it was. that so many offenders happened to have his name. "Easily explained," replied Smith. "They want an honest name to be tried by, and so give the name of Smith, but on inquiry it will generally turn out that their true name is Wil son Green Bag. Hood's Famous Hoax. There is a very pretty story to the effect that the word "queer" came into our language through a hoax. I forgot who the alleged perpetrators were Thomas Hood perhaps but the story goes that a wager was made to the ef fect that the maker of it could set all London to talking within 24 hours. He accordingly had painted on fences, houses, sidewalks and all vacant spaces the letters, "Q-TJ-E-E-R. "Why, what is that?" everybody asked. And the response was that it was "queer;" hence everything that seemed strange after that was called 'queer. It is a good story, and perhaps it is not fair to explode it by saying that our word "queer" comes directly from the Ger man. Boston Home Journal. Pay Dirt. The man who had gone west to grow up with the country returned to the scenes of his childhood in less than three years wearing good clothes and in many other ways giving competent tes timony of prosperity. "Hello!" exclaimed an old friend, meeting him. "You must have done well in the west. "Well, .rather," was the confident reply. "I struck pay dirt before I had been there a year. "Pay dirt? I didn't know you were at the mines. "I wasn't. I bought a farm for $30 an acre and sold it in town lots at $o0 the lot. That's the kind of poy dirt to strike. Detroit Free Press.
