Troops Are Compelled to Shoot tit the Moh. "WAsniSGTOX Coo ht IIottse, Ohio, Oct. 13. William Dolly, colored, who one week ago assaulted Mrs. Mary C Boyd, acred 55, at Parrott's station, near here, and was captured at Dela ware, Oiiio, was brought into court at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. lie pleaded guilty and was sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary. An angry mob gathered a out the jail af ter Dolby had been identified by his victim, and Sheriff Cook called to hi nssistance the local militia company. This ac tion increased the fury against Dolby and Governor McKinley was appealed to for additional .Assistance, and troops from Colurubas were sent here, Colonel Colt in command. The mob surrounded the jail and court house and attempted to take Dolby from the officer whet removed from jail to the court house for trial, but were kept at bay by tie free use of bayonets and clubbed gun. When brought -to the court hcusa Dolby broke down. While bringing him from the jail the mob charged and almost succeeded in getting- him. Henry Kirk, the brother-in-law of Mrs. JSoyd, was knocked down the fctepa and badly braised. Another man was bayoneted through the lin ger, while a bayoa.'t was thrust through the clothes o another. Deputies with revolvers drawn guarded their prisoner ia the court room. Dolby cried like a baby and kept looking around for help. So:diers marched in to keep the crowd quiet. After the sentence t ie prisoner was taken to the grand jury room. A mob gathered about the court house end it was impossible to get the prisoner through to take him to the train. The officers were powerless to get Dolby from the court house to the jailor to the train and bh -riff Cook' wired the governor to send more troops. The mob grew rapidly ia numbers and desperation. Co.oael Colt made a speech, asking th; crowd to dis perse, but it was received with jeers. The prisoner was prostrate from fear, and lay crying and moaning all the time. 9 The mob kept Dolby and his guards prisoners in the court house until 0 p. m., and then made an attack. The inilit'a repelled then without firing at lir&t. but at 6:45 p. m., the south door was forced open. This door opens upon the street which was til led with men women and children. The detachment of tiie truants finally fired on the attacking party. .None c-f the latter were hurt, but a dozen or more persons in the street vere struck, two killed outright and four more were fatally wounded, one having since died.

Eiot Breaks Out at St. Louis .Republican Primaries. Several Negroes Are Knocked LDown and Beaten. A. P. A. OCCASIONED IT. A Boasting; 3Ian With a Shot gun Begins the Trouble. Sr. Louis, Mo., Oct. 13. A riot broke out yesterday afternoon at one cf the polling places in the Seven teenth ward where Republican pri maries were being held for the selec tion of delegates to the Republican city and the Twelfth district congres sional convention. Knives and pis tols were drawn and for a time it looked as if there might be blood shed, but nobody received more than bruises. Fifty or more police officers appeared on the scene and quelled the riot, arresting Tom Maloney, ona of the leaders of the gang which caused the trouble and nine or ten other men. Several other leaders es caped during the confusion. It seems that the riot commenced when A. H. Luster drove up to the pollrng place with a shotgun and an nounced himself an A. P. A., an i said he was afraid of nobody. Another version is that he damned the A. P. A., and said he was ready to fight any member of that organization. His remarks, whatever tbey were, in censed the crowd and a rush was made for him. He drove off and es caped but the trouble continued when the men, who were later arrested, at tacked a number of negroes who had already voted or who were waiting to do so, for the reason, it is said, that they were supporting A. P. A. candi dates. A crowd of several hundred people gathered around the negroes who were knocked down and beaten and the single policeman pres ent, finding that he could not control the mob, telephoned for additional oilicers who quelled the riot. Luster was arrest 'd and taiien to police headquarters. He said that he was talking to a friend at the polls in his buggy, while on his way to go hunt inr. This he said, accounted for the presence of his gun. NO MOilE PASSES. Western and Southwestern Roads to Shut Off Tree Transportation. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. IS.

TUUHSTON AND BUY AN. Opening of he Joint Political Debate at Lincoln, Neb. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. IS. The first of the joint debates on political issues between Honorable W. J. Bryan and Honorable John M. Thurston oc curred h?re yesterday afternoon. It is estimated 7,0)0 people were in Ag ricultural hall during the speaking. The whole state was represented, and many from other states were present. The fact both speakers are avowed candidates for the United States sen ate added to the interest of the occa sion. The reception given to the principal figures of the afternoon was hearty and enthusiastic. C. J. Smith of Omaha, and John P. Maul of Lin coln, took turns in presiding. As Mr. Bryan was to open the debate, Mr. Smith made the introduc tory statement. He stated the condition of the debate, and invoked respectful attention to both speakers. Then he introduced Con gressman Bryan, who was greeted with cheers. The terms of the debate confined the speakers on no particul ar topic. Brj'an touched chierly on sil ver, income tax and the Pacific rail road indebtedness. The income tax was fair, and he was satisfied the future would vindicate his judgment As to i .L e Pacific railroads, if he was eleet-.-C to the senate he proposed to do l':5 best to have the g-overnment mortgage foreclosed. It was on the silver issue that he was most eloquent. He was sure the white metal would be victorious eventually. He pointed to the gains it had made recently in all parts of the country tion of his position. Mr. as vindica Brvan was cheered vociferously at the conclu- tion of his remarks. Mr. Thurston received a trreat ova tion. He is a graceful sp eaktr and in a measure has an advantage of his able .opponent. His speech was more of a general nature than that of Bryan. He confessed to be at a dis advantage in the estimation of some in discussing the Pacific railroads since he was the attorney of the lead ing company. Still he was contidt nt it was not to the advantage of the people of the whole country to have the government to foreclose its sec ond mortg-ag-e since it must then pay the enormous first mortgage indebted ness. Rerdying to Mr. Bryan's income tax views he was brief and deprecated the measure, believing it could not endure. On silver the speaker became brilliant. After declaring to the surprise of some that he favored the free coinatre of the American produc tion, he pictured the enormous loads of foreign metal that would be dump ed into this country in the event of free coinage and in closing declared the idea was perfectly preposterous. In Mr. Bryan's closing reply be be came personal and denounced Thurs ton for his political acts of tjie past. They tpeak at Omaha to-night,. A LAWYER DESTITUTE.

Ca Hailed From South Dakot and "Still Keep en Hailing. fSpeciitl Correspondence. New York, Sept. 27. "I hail from Devil's Lake, S. D., and it's a good place to hail from so long as one keeps cn hailiiiK. I should not think of going cn xiaiiiUK- kuouhi nut iiima ui koiujj back there to live. I waa outlawed from two states soon after the close of the war, and I have outlawed myself from Dakota. In truth, I can't answer your question as to my residence, for I am a cosmopolite. I am somewhat like that young lady in the old etory who, being asked what was her native place, re plied: 'I never had any. My father waa an itinerant Methodist preacher. I was born in Hinds county, Miss., but my present residence you will find in the directions on those letters." The speaker was Colonel Peter Do nan, commonly called Pat Donan, and it was in his room at the hotel. His tablo was well covered with letters addressed "Colonel P. Donan, United States," "Colonel Patrick Donan, New York," and i-o on. Colonel Donan is tall, rather spare and nervous in manner and appearance, with very mild bluoeyes, light hair, be ginning to show gray, and a full beard, which is turning from light brown to a lighter shade. From crown to heel ho is the typical thin, wiry southern blond. "This erratic life, of which much is gaid," he remarked, "resulted from series of unforeseen event in fact, was kicked" into it. I was down on knees playing marbles ia Paris, M just like any other big boy, on the of July, lfeOl, and on the 8th I was cler fire in what they then called a b tie. Indeed they had pictures of it the illustrated papers and told of 'show ers of shot. What nonsense I That de stroyed all my faith in war history, and I have never had any since. Ninety-nine per cent of it is a lie. That was the merest skirmish, but we had a fine Fed eral regiment captured and only lost it through the folly of Tom Harris. Our next affair amounted to something, though, for it was the making of Gen eral tirant. "Ah, how was that?" "It was at Hickman's Mill, on Salt river, in Monroe county. Wo were un der General Martin E. (Jreone Mis souri ptate troops, you li'iow, Grant was very doubtful of his raw troops and knew if he was defeated ho was lest, for there was much talk about his hab its. So he advanced with great caution. There was a little very careful .shoot ing, and that night General Greene slipped away and joined Price. So Grant got his start and afterward ac- s. V, COLONEL PKTER MXAV. knowledged that he there learned the important lesson that the other ftdlow was likely to be as shy of him as he was f,f the other fellow. The papers told of a 'terriiic charge" and 'the ground s-trewed with dead and wounded, Vint there was no such tiling. Lord, how the papers did lie in those days! "It was that fall, in the retreat from Missouri, that I made my first big bluff. I wrote to headquarters that I was not made for a private soldier and would not bo one; that I was going to get out of this armed mob and go to Virginia, where they had some real war, and es pecially I was going to get somewhere where everybody would n,c t look on me as a boy and call mo Pete. There was no dis cipline, and every fellow came and went at will and h-'geed, bought or stole his provisions, but I did want to leave in some sort of style. I was sure I could fooii sunburn and rouglieu up to pai-s for 21, though I was not quite 17. I went to north Missouri, rode right through Fremont's army and eastward into West Virginia, slipped through to the Confederates and got a commission. When I was 18, I reckon I was the youngest colonel in either army. Tlx se reminiscences led the. colonel into a lengthy digression on the war as Fe-m from the southern side, the blun ders of reconstruction ana the meat.nes of some western politicians, and this last evidently roused unpleasant memo ries, for his eye lighted with an nnunual tire and his language was singularly forcible as he gave his opinion of tiie Dakota senators from first to last. "We are only fairly into this experiment, and if we admit the riffraff of the world we shall have to give up a republic." As a newspaper writer Colonel Donan has been compared to a mountain tor rent, a tropical hurricane, a rapid rush ing river and a Bpouting welL Opie Read spoke of him as a "freak of letters who crowds literary facts close upon the heels of capering grotesqnencss, a poet without perceptible passion and a liter ary photographer -without the scent of chemicals." Before attaining his ma jority he waa employed by Archbishop Hughes as a writer for Catholic papers, and he has since written for papers of every shade of polities, but always in his own torrid style. In short, Colonel Donan is just what the tumcltuous times of war and reconstruction would naturally make of an ardent, impulsive southern boy who had received a com plete classical education at the age of 16 and was burning to emulate th Icrooa of antiquity.

For Karna: Tonight aad Friday fair; warmer; Hnu:heast wind. So PArnit in Kaasai ha4 said during this campaiga: "The political pot is be ginning to boil;" it has teea boiling for two years. Each Bide claims the state by 25,000 plurality both Republicans and Popu lists; it isn't as easy to tell which is right in this particular as it is in their political principles. If we could tell how many vote3 the Prohibitionists and Dsmocrats were go ing: to cast, we could (,'ive some very re liable pointers to the betters. Our advice is, don't bet. Vert little news ctcies up from the political battletield. Both parties are holding larpa meeting!, and one appears to have no particular "age" over the other. It looks like a close fight There are men putting up money on the election wbo don't know the majority in ISVi of any party in aay county in the etate. The more ignorant a man is on this point, the more he generally bets. The woman suffrage amendment ought to carry by a good con fortable majority. If it doesn't those wio vote agaiust it will be a mighty uncoiafortable majority before the women -et through with them. Real estate sales are becoming so numerous that there is danger of another boom. A great many people are buying handsome homes in Topeka. These are well to do citizens who are not "ashamed of Kansas" and don't intend to be, no matter what happens. The Civic Federation idea 13 catching on in Topeka. It will to a success if not at first, then later on. The time is com ing when the best men will serve the municipality and nobody will care what politics they hold any more than they care now what their religion is. Thb colonization Btory told about Breidenthal reminds one of the big fake perpetrated in when it was said lU.OJO colored men were imported by the Banta Fe railroad to vote the Republican ticket. This story was repeated for weeks, yet it took the election returns to convinca many Populir.a that there was no truth in it. Prettt bad chargeii have teen made on both aides in thil campaign, but it was no worse, than t le campaign two years ago. Then, one congressional can didate waa accused of "burying hia wife In a hog lot" This charming campaign argument didn't prevent the candidate from being elected br a fine majority. We often wonder why that kind of vili fication is employed. It was never known to wla WHAT FEDERATION 3EJJTS. Those who are going to join the Civic Federation should understand thorough ly that they must give up their partisan ship, entirely, so far as city aifiirs are concerned. They must, like the newly converted Christian, ugive up their whole heart" and not be influenced by their po litical prejudices. They must njt secret ly strive to reward a Republican cr Pop uliot ward worker with the responsible position of cuspidor cleaner in the city halL It id for the very purpose iA get ting rid of rewards for political work that the Civic Federation is fortie i. The city ia to be run, as we understand it, just like the fctreet railway company or the Edison Electric Light company are. The street railway company doesn't hire a motorman cr a conductor because he is a good Democrat or a good Repub lican, but because he knows his business. It doesn't care what hia politics is. The Civic Federation proposes to see that the street commissioner, the city en gineer, the city scavenger, and so a, are the beat men that can be had for the place and the money, and they don't care a snap of the finger whether they are for free silver, or free trade, or understand the tariff, or theosophy, or know th price of beans in Montinegra Those things haven't any connection with city govern ment If the Civic Federation comes up to the high standard it has set for itself, it will reform our whole municipal system in a way it has long needed. The Topeka Capital publishers Sidney G. Cooke as a Republican speaker. teid ney has never been charged with being more than an assistant Republican and to take him into full fellowship is un necessary hasto. lie should bo allowed time to purify himself. Lawrence World. Sid Cooke and other Democrats of his leaning will eventually be Republicans. They are now only in a state cf proba tion; the political fight is destined with in the next two years to centraiizo itself between the people who want to change the constitution aad those who want to preserve it All good Democrat will find themselves compelled to join hands and vote with the Republicans to pre serve the constitution as it is.

New York, Oct 18. The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott in his sermon in Plymouth church on religious intolerance, said: "The American Protective association declares that the Roman Catholic church is opposed to our public schools. That is not true. Some Roman Catlioiic-t, some powerful members of the church, are op posed to the schools, but the church it selfno!" Dr. Abbott said that it was the duty cf all Christians to command the gocd done by all denominations. Dr. Abbott declared that the Protes tant spirit of intolerance was shown in. the American Protectee association. "I would rather," he continued, "com bat the intolerance of the nineteenth cen tury than combat the intolerance of the dead popes of the Sfteenta cent iry. Com bat intolerance wherever you lind it; combat intolerance in your own hearts; combat the intolerance that sneers at the blck-robed women who hava devoted their lives to the care of the sick and poor, who have cared for the wounded on tho battlefields; combat the intolerance which manifests itself in yourbreast at the sight of a man who wears a cross on his breast W.

S if T O m Th TTPI THE PALMER RECITAL. First Public Appearance of the "ew Teaolier of 1-loeu.tion. An audience of students and towns people that completely filled the college chapel greeted Prof. Almond E. Palmer, Washburn's new teacher of elocution, on his first public appearance in Topeka last evening. Before the close of the first part of the programme Prof. Palmer had captured his audience, and he easily kept the at tention of every one until the end. Familiar things, well read, gain a new interest, and Prof. Palmer last evening did not hesitate to invite criticism by ren dering some old favorites. The programme was as follows: PART I. "European Guides" Twain "The Man Who Felt Sad" Detroit Free Press Music, "As the Dawn" Miss Denison TART IL "Vision of Sir Lauufal" Lowell "The Did Man" Eugene Field "The Raveu" Edgar A. Poe Music, "If I But Knew," and Or pheus With Uis Lute" Miss Denison PART III. "Sam's Letter" Taylor "1 he Ghosts" Anonymous "Wakia' the 1'oung Uns" Anonymous Iu the first and third parts of the pro gram he delighted his audience by his ability as a mimic, and was especially mirth provoking in "The Man Who Felt Sad," and "Waif in' the Y'oung Una." The serious work of the evening came in the second part. "The Vision of Siir Lauufal" was read with fine feeling, and a tender regard for the delicate beauties of the poem. -Eugene Field's sketch of "The Old Man" was given in so simple and touching a way as to bring moisture to many eyes. It was in "The Raven," however, that Prof. Palmer made the deepest impression. Ilia rendering showed a clear appreciation of the weird and dramatic elements in the poem, and was ample to produce in the audience a deeper 'understanding of the poem and the inner life of the author. Prof. Palmer has a strong, clear voice, under firm control, a mobile countenance and an easy and natural manner. He showed force and dramatic power, while throughout, hia work was marked by moderation and good taste. It is safe to say that he will always have a pleasant greeting from Topeka audiences. 1'rof. Palmer was assisted by Miss Emma K. Denison, the vocal teacher at the college, who added much to the pleasure of the audience by the sympa thetic and artistic way in which she ren dered the three songs on the programme. A BOLD ROBBERY. Thieves Enter by the Front Door a Store Within a, lilot k of the City Prison. The milk depot and general store of R. II Jones, at 121 west Sixth street was boldly entered last night by tuilars.

An Old Soldier's Inrial Stirs l'p Consider able Trouble. Mandamus proceedings are about to be commenced to compel the county au ditor to audit the claim for the burial ex penses of Carl II. Peterson, an old sol dier who died in destitute circumstances. The law provides that old soldiers shall ba buried at the expense of the county where the family is unwilling or unable to pay the funeral expenses, the cost not to exceed 00. The law also provides that they shall not be buried in ground set aside for the burial of pau pers. The county comniBsioners let the con tract for the funerals of the old soldiers to the lowest bidder and a committee gives orders on only the one undertaker. In the case of Carl Peterson, who was a Catholic, his family desired a atholic burial and secured a Catholic undertak er. The auditor refused to audit the bill and tho county commissioners refused to allow it Capt. P. II. Coney then filed a peti tion for the pavment of the bill before the county commissioners, in which he scores tliem for the manner of burying the soldiers. Auditor Pagan said today in reference to the matter: "I did not audit the bill because from my interpretation of the law, an order must be secured from the proper authorities. It would have made no difference to me what undertaker the bill was from, if the proper order had been secured I would have audited the bill." THEIR ANCIENT SIRES.

SWING'S CHURCH ENDS. It Dissolves Its Organization at a Formal fleeting;. Chicago, Oct. 18. "When we buried Professor Swing we also buried the "Cen tral church as an organization. So said Chairman A. Pence, presid ing over a handful of representatives of Professor Swing's old flock, gathered in Apollo music hall. "Our action," commented a leading participant in tho discussion, "means only one thing Central church is no more. We, attendants for nineteen years, will gravitate back, most of us, to our old alliliations, but in our hearts will bear ever the image of Professor Swing, whose work in its organic side ended with his life. I shall again occu py my old pew in Grace Episcopal churcn, whic h as a matter of fact I have never surrendered." THREE FIRES. The Fire Utnartment Called Out Three Times Yesterday Afternoon. Chief Wihnarth's belief that tires come in triplets was verified again yesterday by three alarms in a period of six hours. The first and only serious fire was that at 2:15. The alarm was turned in from box 14 for a blaze discovered in the barn at 1322 Logan street, owned by 1. Mer ritt and occupied by Wood Fliecher. It was a large two-story building, and the damage to the barn alone was about ?o0. There were stored in the barn thirty live tons of baled hay, and the damage is fixed at $-50 on this ecore. The fire suread to two barns owned by Mrs. C. S. Irwin, at 1319 and 1323 Kansas avsnue. The loss was about $50 apiece, making the total loss by the fire $500, with no in surance. At 5:25 an alarm was turned in from box 27 for a small fire in a house at 722 Chestnut street, owned by A. II. Root and occupied by George Stitt The fire started by a stove pipe coming in contact with woodwork. Loss $10. The last fire was a still alarm to fire station No. t A STREET RALLY.

Democrats Going- to thu :epulli'uu 1'nily in swarms. Chic ago, Oct 18. John W. Garvev, a life-long Democrat, has deserted that party and joined the Republican. M Garvey was appointed a West Parlvcoi;. missioner by Governor AltgeM a year ago, and has also served on the city boar 1 of education as a Democrat. His brother, William Garvey, has a!- left Democracy and cast hi lot with the Republicans. The Republican leaders claim many such conversions, and have iu i i a-- 1 their estimates of the majority they ex pect to roll up in Cook county Ibis fH, and even the most conservative place it at 2U.000.

To any one for whom machinery has ft fascination there is nothing stranger than the i.r.-t glirapse of elephants at work about it. Amid the hissing swish of belting, the huzz of saws, the multi tudinous separate rattles mingled into a universal roar and vibracir g through a big sawmill, the ponderous figures of these slow paced helpers present a cari ous sight. One elephant places the log upon a movable platform to be squared, while another waits with restless eyes and flapping ears until the saw has: done its work, and then, taking a twist in an attached rope, slips the loop of it deftly over a big tusk and leads the log away. Another piles timber, lifting tho long piece between tuKs anu truiiK, ana pushing it into place with tho lutter if tho pile is low, or with a broad fore head if the height demands it. Fetching and carrying, lifting and stacking, push ing and pulling, these docile and pa tient giants do their work without com plaint, week in and week out. Some times tho mahout (oozee it is in Bur mese) walks beside tiie beast, sometimes he sits on its big neck or broad back. But his indolent figure never seems to bo necessary, for one cannot watch an elephant at work very long without ac quiring the conviction, however mis taken, that the intelligent direction of his labor is all his own. Century. C lollies Made of Teat. Underwear is now made in Paris of peat. This sounds lika a joke, but there is nothing of the Munchausen order about it. It has been known for some time that peat has certain antiseptic qualities. A dead body which was bur ied in peat for over a century was found in a state of perfect preservation. Peat is used in the northern countries of Eu rope for surgical bandages, and the fa vorable results obtained by the Russian surgeons with peat bandages have in duced the French army department to use it in the French hospitals. It has also been found that peat fibers in com bination with other matcri.il possess wonderful absorbing properties. This has led Dr. Itasurfll to use peat fibers j for the making of underwear in the place of flannel. Tho new material has proved very elective, absorbing perspi ration and rapidly drying. Dr. Rusurel calls his fabric a "real hydraulio pump" and pronounces it an excellent preventive of colds. The new textile is already largely used in France. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Mrs. Peary's Opinion. Mrs. Peary says of her husband's Greenland expedition: "It is a mistake to allude to my husband as a seeker for the north pole. His object has been and still is to delineate the northern coast of Greenland. No one can tell how fur Greenland extends northward, and Lieutenant Peary sjys that if it goes to the pole he will go there, too; that, no matter how high it ruus, he- is deter mined to follow it." -Sirs. Peary c-an't tell whether she will go north again next year. Her husband and herself have, spent about 4o0, 000 already on arctic research, and she now feels that her future explorations in those regions must depend upon publio favor. She wants to go back, however, next sum- j ruer if she can. A Lively Piece of Rope. One of the European residents in the upper Kulu valley iiad a narrow escape. He was walking in the veranda of his bungalow at Katran in the dusk, and seeing what seemed to be a piece of rope lyng on the ground picked it up to throw it outside. To his horror, the supposed rope, which was really a Rus eell's viper, seized the back of his hand, and held on to it, having to be dragged off by main force. He sucked the bite for half an hour before applying other remedies and for three davs was com pletely paralyzed. Even a fortnight aft er being bitten he was still suffering from great sickness and drowsiness and was hardly able to stand upright. Lon don News. Meat by Sample. Lively agitation is proceeding in the Central meat market of Loudon, which also supplies the provinces lai gely, over the proposal to sell American meat by tample. The majority of the salesmen refuse to have anything to do with such a new fangled system on the ground that it is impossible to apply it to a jht ishable article like meat, and the mar kets committee of the corporation have been requested to prohibit it. The com mittee will probably accede to the sales men's wishes, at any rate until the com pletion of the vast cold storage build ing about to be erected in the adjacent market by ono of tlie great doek compa nies. Speaking of Kisses. There is a better market for kisses in Rochester than in Brooklyn. A young woman has just recovered a verdict of 5400 against a ma a in tho former city who hud kissed her against her will, while the Brooklyn woman who sued a man for a similar offense secured the conviction of the guilty man and his sentence to pay a tine of 100. The Rochester girl got the kiss and ?400, while the Brooklyn woman simply got the kiss. Brooklyn Eagle. The Duty on Store Teeth. The treasury department has decided that the same duty shall be paid on ar tificial teeth as on other manufactures containing similar materials. For in stance, if made of porcelain, the teeth are dutiable at the same rare as cups, saucers and plates made of that mate rial. If of ivory, the duty is tho same as that imposed on ivory billiard balls. Atlanta Constitution. Senator yui'sUonmot. Senator Hill has perpetrated a bon mot.

A small, beardless and inoffensive little man came into one of our stores the other day in company with a wom an of 5 feet 11, whose look and manner indicated that she had eagerly signed the petition to strike the disgusting word "male" out of that part of the constitution of New York referring to the voting privileges of its residents. "We want to get anecktie, she said to the clerk. "A red one," put in the little old man pleadingly. "A black one, sir," said the woman, with scorn and decision in her voice, and then she said under her breath, "Let met catch you with a red necktie on, James Higgins!" A black tie? was bought, and the woman said, with a jerk of her elbow I in the direction of her husband: I "A handkerchief for him, please. "I'd like! them kind that has bosses heads in the border," he said. "James Higgins, snapped out his i wife, "you losin the little sense you j ever did have? Hosses heads fer a man of your years an a deacon in the Bap- tist church at that! You'll have a plain red liggered bandaner, same as you've I alius had." Wrhen this was bought, the old man asked to look at some "galluses," but before tho clerk could fathom the mean ing of the word the old lady said: "No, you don't, James! You ain't wore home knit s'penders all your life to come out in store bought ones in your old age. You need-n't take any down, Mr. Clerk. Next thing you know he'll be wantin a store shirt 'stid o' the good onbleached mnslin ones I've made 'iru for 40 years back. You needn't loek so lougin at them blazer coats, James Hig gins.

I On one of the warmest days of last summer a nervous youni' man entered j the dining room of a down town htirel j and called for salad. j The waiter, a rawboned, inexperienc- 1 i ed Irishman, shambled off with the or i der and after an annoyingly long time shambled back again. The nervous young man fidgeted while the waiter proceeded with awk ward but dignified ease. The salad dish was properly placed at last. The nervous young man grasped the spoon, thrust it through the oily surface and unearthed a fly. There was plenty of salad, bui the only thing the nervous young man saw was that poor little de funct fly. j He touched the waiter on the sleeve, i "Excuse me, but er there's an insect in my salad.

WASRBl RN'S NEW MOVE. Boyi a ail iirl Not Allowed to o About Together. It seems that the employment of a for mer Washburn atuceat as preceptress of the colleges has made quite a difference in affairs at the college. Dast year it was "a regular thing'' to see a couple strol lit'g around the campus in early evening and the boys always accompanied the young ladies to entertainments. But the precept ress has now decided that the young iitl.es cannot receive gentlemen company except on special oc casions. This week the ooys "got left" when they tried to arrange for the Palmer re cital last night. At the recital for the first time in a year or more the girls came alone and the boys likewise. The boys were collecting yesterday to see what thev should do. NORTH TOPEKA. Items of Interest f rm the North Side of the River. Sirs. J. W. Clock is visiting friends in Wamego this week. Mrs. A.

Improvements Have 1 :e-u Jladeaml Now 130 feople Cau Be Cured tor. Accommodations have been made at the county poor farm for keeping 150 destitute people all winter. This is the largest capacity of any similar institu tion ia the state, so far aa known. Dur ing the summer extensive improvements have been made on the property, chief of which is the erection of a "superintend ent's house," as it is designated. This is a story and a half frame structure with nine roooms down stairs and a long cor ridor under the roof, well ventilated, and made especially for a line of cuts. The old original farm house has been renovated, and the two cottages, one of which is used for a hospital, are the re mainder of the public poor-house. The "por farm" iaciudes 12 acres of land about six miles north of the river. Kansas avenue extended passes through a corner of the farm. The place is open to the public and visitors are always wel come, although there are very few of them. John Taylor ia the superintend ent of the farm and his superiors vouch for hia statement that the unfortunate people who live with him are civen twod food and plenty of it. The groceries are and cows kept on the farm abundance of milk. None the best furnish, an of the iu- mates leave tho table valids get better care hungry. The in in the little hos- pital than the average laborer can pro vide. Poor Commissioner Hale expects it will be necessary to take care of more destitute people than any previous win ter during the next six months. He basea his calculation largely on the fact that during the quarter just ended he took eighteen recruits to the farm, more than any previous quarter since he has been in otliee, which is over six years. "There are a great many people," he says, "old people, especially, who can take care of themselves fairly well dur ing hot weather, but the first frost drives them to the. poor farm. Tiiere are a number of cases we have been keeping winter after winter, who can keep up tolerably well in the summer. The only case I had last week was one of this kind. Old James Barrett is nearly 70 years old and has no occupation excapi odd jobs at common labor, lie has no friends and we have had him a number of times before. I expect we will have to keep him all win'.er." The otlice of poor commissioner will be conducted differently this season from heretofore. Up to tiiis time people able to prove themselves worthy of charity, were given flour, potatoes and other pro visions as well as fuel, by the poor com missioner. Now the applicants must go without this small assistance and go tj the poor farm, or take care of themselves, leaving no middle course. There is no doubt but under the old system the conu ty was in many cases imposed upon, and the change was made largely to remedy this feature. "PRIZE PACKAGES." Some of the Funny Things iJoiigli People ut the Kxpreis Sale. The sale of unclaimed express pack ages is still furnishing interesting inci dents. The small packages find the most ready sale, and an elderly woman who paid 00 cents for suc h a package found that she had secured a gold watch and sixteen gold pins. A little colored boy stood near the auctioneer's stand last night. His coat was ragged and his face dirty. His hund was tightly closed on five nickels as he waited anxiously for a chance to bid. Finally the chance came. A pmckage which looked like it might be a box of jewelry was oilered. lie quicisly bid 25 cents and how anxiously he watched the crowd as if afraid that some one would raise his bid. No one did and when the auctioneer said "going, gone," his eyes fairly danced with joy. He handed over his five nickels and got the package and at once opened it. It was a large book and the title was "Poors Guide to Investments and Se curity." On the covr was an advertise ment which said: "Make your deponits in the First National bank of New York." The boy read it audibly and let the book drop to the tloor. Several reports of tne Kansas state board of agriculture found ready sale at 25 and 50 cents, though they can be had for the asking at the state house A young lady paid 75 cents for a small package which contained a piece of type metal, and a man who secured a small but very heavy package found he had a piece of red building- stone. WANTS THEM TO VACATE. Iteceiver of the Booge lropi-ty Seeks to JKviet L'jidesi rahle Tenant. The case of the National Life Insur ance Company against Jane Iiooge took an odd turn today. J. L. Durham, the receiver of the Booge property on East Crane street tiled a petition today asking the court to order the sheriff to remove the undesirable tenants of his property. The tenants in question are Anna Walker, Mary Davis. Gare Davis, Ida Fleming and W. Fleming. Receiver Durham says these tenant? do not pay any rent, saying they are not able to, and refuse to ttate any time when they will pay. He says they are people of bad name and that the best interests of the property require they should be made to vacate. Durham says also tiiat Anna Walker rented a room for $2.50 and re fuses to give him the change. The property ia controversy is sup posed to be the Booge tlats. SILENT ON SUFFRAGE. Mrs. X.

Interesting: Bemisisceoces Recalled by the Approacblng: Centennial of Tennessee's Admission to the Union The Bome ol Presidents Jackson, Folic and Johnson. June 1, 1796, Tennessee was formally declared a state, and already prepara tions are in rapid progress for a vast centennial display and exposition at Nashville, to last from Sept. 1 to Nov. 15, 1896. She was the third state ad mitted after the federal constitution was adopted, and familiar as we are with the details of rapid ffrowths in the new world it is hard to realize that there is a commonwealth of some 1,900,000 peo ple in an area dominated by the fiercest Indians 120 years ago and a magnificent city of 100, 000 people on the spot, where, according to Felix Grundy, the pioneers did not stand face to face when they met, but back to back, in never ceasing vigilance against the lurking foe. "If I am asked," said Grundy in a speech in the United States senate, "to name my first indelible impression, it would be the sight of my oldest brother bleeding and dying under the tomahawk and scalping knife. Another and still another brother went in the same way. A widowed mother, robbed of her all in a night, reduced from affluence to pov erty in a moment, toiled to rear and educate her last son him who now ad- o j i THE liEKMITAGE, NEAR TA SHVILLK. dresses yon." Between 1780 and 1794 the Indian killed in the area now in cluded in Nashville and its suburbs one per.-on every ten days on an average. In 17S7 '5-3 were killed. The nest year An drew Jackson and party arrived. He was soon a leader iu Indian warfare, then a leading lawyer and judge. In January, 1796, he represented his pra cinct in the state constitutional conven tion at Kuosville, and in the following December he entered congress as the first representative from Tennessee. The state has given three presidents to the nation all natives of North Car olina, however, though Jackson always thought he was a native of South Caro lina. Other heroes of whom the state is proud were David Crockett, hero of the Alamo; Thomas II. Benton, Sam Hous ton, Bell, Coffee and many more, not td mention those of our own time. Now the state purposes to celebrate all these as well as her wonderful achievement in material things. An organization has been completed similar to that for the Chicago World's fair, and the capital of 750,000 already secured will be de voted to the erection of buildings and preparation of the grounds, but this is only a small part of what will be ex pen ded. The president of the commission is Nathaniel Baxter, Jr., a native of the state and noted as president of the Ten nessee Coal, Railroad and Iron compa ny. The first, vice president is General W. H. Jackson, known to the country as owner of the famous Belle Meade stock farm. The director general is' Ma jor A. W. Willis, a native of Pennsylva nia who came to Nashville as a Federal officer during the war, married a Nash ville lady, was postmaster of the city during the Harrison administration and made a record in the ofliee of which all Nashville is proud. Ex-Congressman H. Clay Evans of Chattanooga, also a Pennsylvania!! by birth, and all the othr officials are men of like standing, ex perience and energy. The women also have an organization, and the ladies who have The Hermitage in charge ex pect to take an important part. The Hermitage, known to all Ameri cans as the home of Andrew Jackson, is 1 2 miles ea of Nashville and is pre served as he left it, save that it is wel" filled with mementos of the old hero and other historic relics. The house is a square red brick standing some distance from the road and reached by a broad avenue so densely shaded by heavy ce dars and other trees that it seems dark even at midday. This leads to a broad and beautiful lawn in front of the house. Wxthin plain sight and not far away is the tomb holding the mortal remains of Jackson and his Rachel, above whose grave is a slab, bearing tho affecting tribute written by her husband and con taining this reference to attacks made on her in partisan campaigns: "A being so gentle and so virtuous slander might wound, but could not dis honor. Belle Meade, the most noted stock farm in America, if not in the world, is a few miles northwest of Nashville. It consists of 5,200 acres of splendid land and is the property of General W. H. Jackson and his brother, the ex-senator and present United States circuit judge. There is Iroquois, who won the Epsom Derby, Prince of Wales' stakes and Doucaster over everything in Eng land. Also Luke Blackburn, who as a 3-year-old won 22 out of 24 races. The first pprmanent settlement was made at Nashville in the winter of 1779-80, and it received a city charter in 1806, but had no more than 20,000 inhabitants at the beginning of the war. Even in 1870 the federal census credited it with but 25,859. Soon after the great development began, and now its 100,000 people can compare with any equal number in the world aa to extent and variety of manufactures, active capital, and especially in splendid buildings &a.d great institutions of learning. A SAD ROMANCE. Marriage With His Sweetheart Delayed I. lit il Death Came to the Injured Man. There was an interesting romance en acted at Lakeside hospital, and it end ed with the death of one, a young wo man's broken heart and a mother's sat isfaction in preventing a marriage which was the last wish of her dying son. Willis Hizer, the fireman of No. 1 hook and ladder, who was thrown from the top of the truck, was taken to the hospitaL The rear wheels of the truck, that weighs five tons, passed over his breast and caused fatal injuries. Five years ago Hizer's wife died and left him to care for a little boy who was then 5 years old- During the past one or two years Hizer had kept company with a pleasing young woman of tha name of Annio McGintric, who makes her home with a family on Hoyt ave nue. The couple were engaged to be married, and the date for the ceremony was fixed for three weeks hence. When the wounded and dying man was placed on a bed in a hospital, he asked for Annie. She was sent for, and so was his mother. They both arrived at about the same time, and when they ap proached the deathbed the dying man asked Annie if she would marry him under such circumstances. He said: "I kuow I wll never get up. I am going to die right here, and then my little lad will be left alone. The heartbroken young woman prom ised to do all and vowed to be a mother to the boy, wdio was then standing by the bedside. Both parties being of one mind, they called a Catholic priest. Fa ther Vahey of St. John's cathedral re sponded, and upon his appearance the dying man's mother created a scene iu tlie ward and became so loud in pro testing against tho marriage that she was taken from the ward. The knot would have been tied, but there was no license, and the priest would not pro nounce the ceremony without it. Giv ing the dying man words of comfort, he departed from the hospital. The couple then asked one of the firemen who stood by to telephone Captain Grant Gairns of truck No. 1 and have him come to the hospital. He got to the hospital as quickly as possible and met Annie standing by his injured comrade's bed. Hizer looked up at him and said: "Grant, can you get us a marriage license?" "I can," said the big captain, and off he went in search of Clerk Schwab cf the court, and at about 8:30 o'clock the document was secured and Gairns hur ried with it to the hospital. When the fireman's mother saw the pajier in Captain Gairns' hands, she be came frantic and attempted to take it from the captain's grasp, but failed. Then Father Vahey was sent for again, but he did not arrive until about 9:30. At that time the injured man was grow ing weak. His pulse was feeble, his limbs and arms were cold as in death, and at times he was delirious. When the priest arrived, he talked with Miss McGintric and advised her to obey the wishes of the dying man's mother and not marry Hizer, but she begged of him to pronounce the ceremony. He then said he would do it if two physicians would testify that the dying man was capable of a legal act. But Dr. Herrick, the hospital house physician, and the other physicians present were not will ing to testify to Hizer's rational condi tion, and the priest departed. Miss McGintric was broken hearted. With tears running from her eyes she returned to the bedside of the man near death's door. At 10:45 o'clock, after more than six hours of intense agony, Hizer died. Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Bullet rr oof Shield. The bullet proof cuirass has had a very brief career, but the invention by Captain Boynton of a bullet proof shield for infantry seems destined to a better fate. This contrivance can be attached to a ride, while giving that weapon full play and protecting the soldier's vital parts. The shields can be locked together so as to form a rampart, a device which recalls the tactics of the ancient Greeks, who massed their shields in a similar way. It is calculated that, skillfully used, the new shield would enable in fantry to withstand the fire of the ma chine gun and even to make the work ing of that deadly implement impossible. It would supersede rifle pits and give to troops in the square formation a pe culiar advantage. The inventors of guns will now be put on their mettle, for their ascendancy is seriously threatened. Pall Mall Budget. Ouajnt Seashore Cottages. Scattered everywhere within a radius of GO miles of Philadelphia one runs across the hideous voting booths which formerly disfigured the streets of the city at election time, and which were sold for a mere song. On the mountains about Reading and along trout streams in different parts of the state they are used as camping huts, while along the New Jersey coast, from Cape May to Long Branch, they are found fitted up as summer residences by the sea. Origi nally there were 678 of these booths, costing the city $225 each. Over COO of them were sold at prices ranging from $3.10 to $15. HO each, at a great loss to the city. Philadelphia Record. Made Two Bites of a Goat. A few daya since a full grown goat was quietly browsing on the shore of Star lake, at Palmetto beach, when a large alligator, fully 10 feet long, was seen by several persons to suddenly emerge from the reeds, and with one stroke of his ponderous jaws bite the goat in half. He disappeared for a few minutes and was then seen to rise again and take the other half of the animal that had been left on the shore. Palat ka Advertiser.
