The weather in Chicago was clear and cool, the negligee shirts and straw hats of yesterday being succeeded by overcoats and gloves. Omaha, May 11. Reports from all parts of Nebraska indicate that last uight'a frost did comparatively little damage. Vegetables suffered in many parts of the state. In the northern part of the state grain on low ground was affected and will be put back a couple of weeks. Snow fell last night at Fort iiobinson. Minneapolis, May 11.

Ice formed and there was frost in most of the west ern Kansas counties last night. Owing :o dryness of atmosphere the damage is not great, Siocx City, la., May 11. Dispatches from points in Iowa, South Da kota and Nebraska report frost last night. Garden truck and fruit trees appear to have suffered most. Corn and other grains were but slightly damaged. Water is reported to have frozen at Jefferson, la. Green Bay, Wis., May 11. The most severe hail storm ever known in this vicinity swept the country west of here last night. Market gardens were ruined, windows smashed, and small buildings battered in. There was a tremendous fall of hail larger than grape shot The loss amounts to thousands of dollars. FROSTS TONIGHT. It Will Be Warmer Again Tomorrow, However, Mr. Jennings Says, It is a good deal cooler today, und Mr. Jennings agrees with the Chicago man that it will frost in Kansas tonight. In the northern and western portion of the state the frost may be heavy. It will be warmer by Sunday after noon. The mercury stood at forty above this morning and it is only fourteen de grees warmer than that this afternoon. The barometer has risen decidedly in Kansas and Nebraska, the high being now central between Lander, Wyo and Miles City, Mod., moving eastward and has materially lowered the temperature over the western states. The temperature is now rising in Wyoming, but has fallen in Colorado and Nebraska and the states to the east and south; the greatest fall, twenty degrees and over, has occurred in Oklahoma, eastern Kansas, Missouri and eastern Iowa. Light rains have fallen in eastern Mon tana, South Dakota, Minnesota.Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. Tit A MPS LOOT A T O W N.

An army of tramps descended on the little villaze of wuiuuoi, jaerrien county, yesterday after noon, an! for two hours held the people prisoners in their own houses.

NIGHT EDITION. TOPEKA, KANSAS. SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 11, WINNIE DAVIS TO BE THERE Nearly 75,000 Visitors Expected to Attend Confederate Veterans Kacninpmeat. Houston, Tex., May 11. It is expect ed that 75,000 visitors will attend the meeting of the United Confederate Vet erans and state encampment of the Tex as Volunteers Guard, which will assem ble here on the 20th. An auditorium, capable of seating 10,000 people has been erected at a cost of $20,000. Indications point to a representation from nearly all of the 700 camps. All roads in the southern passenger associa tion have authorized a rate of one cent per mile from points east of the Missis sippi river. The tickets are limited to May 20, but a fifteen days return will be given to any parties desiring to go on any of the excursions to Mexico or any part of Texas, at the rate of one fare for the round trip. General Gordon, commander-in-chief, Gen. George Morman, Generals Long street, Lee, Sable and other noted con federates will attend with their staffs, besides several prominent ex-federal generals. Gen. Schofield and Gen. Wheaton has just written that they will attend. Mrs. Jefferson Davis is unable to be present, but her daughter, Miss Winnie Davis, will be the special guest of the occasion. Every company in the Texa3 volun teer guard with their bands, and several companies of the United States regiments from Fort Sam Houston, at San Antonio, will be camped at Fort Culberson, named in honor of the governor. The audito rium has been christened "Winnie Da vis" and the camp where the veterans will be located will be known as "Albert Sidney Johnston Ci mp." Large delegations from the grand army posts will attend, and the united veterans association, composed of sur vivors of both armies, will hold a camp fire. NOT TO SUCCEED GRESHAM Don M. Dickinson is Not to Take His Placa Because Not Vacant. Washington, May 11. It can be stat ed on the authority of one of the parties directly concerned that reports of a change in the head of the state depart ment by which Secretary Gresham will be succeeded by Don M. Dickinson, are not within the range of probability, pro vided Mr. Gresham's health improves, a3 it is expected it will. Should his health compel his with drawal from the cabinet later, Mr. Dick- nson might doubtless be asked to accept the office. The present reports.however, are based on the fact that on Tuesday ast Mr. Dickinson attended the cabinet meeting in an informal capacity, as his personal relations with the president are such that he frequently joins the cabinet circle. At that time Secretary Gresharn was absent, his place being taken by Assist ant' Secretary of State Uhl, formerly of Michigan, and one of Mr. Dickinson's intimates. In this connection it is recalled that a cabinet portfolio was at the disposition of Mr. Dickinson, when the present cabinet was formed, and had he accepted it would have been as secretary or state. Subsequently he was commissioned by Mr. Cleveland to go to Chicago and in vite Judge Gresham to take the secre taryship of state. Gresham's Condition Unchanged. Washington, May 11. Secretary Gresham's condition remains unchanged. lie passed a comfortable night and to day is resting quietly. Representative llitt is slowly improving, but is very weak. His family feel encouraged. The attending physician is still making three visits a day to Mr. Hitt's house. RACING STILL GOES ON. Hawthorne Track Open Despite the Raid, lint There Is No Betting. Chicago, May 11. Despite the civic federation raid of yesterday racing at Hawthorne was continued today. The betting ring, however, was de serted, the track officials having announced that no pool selling would be permitted. There was no fear of another raid on the track today as the Hawthorne meeting closed tonight aud the place will not be reopened for two weeks. Harlem, however, will begin a two week's meeting next Monday and there was much speculation as to what action would be taken then. It was the general belief that Harlem would receive the same attention as mat accorded Haw thorne. President W. T. Baker of the civic lederation, wno is directing the crusade against the tracks, refused to go into details today regarding the future movement of fed eration. He declared that he would take such measures as would absolutely stop race track gambling in Chicago, but whether or not he would raid Har lem next week he refused to say. The race track, on the other hand, de clared that the crusade was only a spasm of reform, and that after a temporary rest racing would go on as before, Ed Corrigan, the master of Haw thorne, was reported this afternoon to have offered to bet $50,000 that the derbys would be run this year, as advertised, and other members of the sporting fraternity were equally confi dent that pool selling would be resumed at an early date. POLICE AS MARKSMEN. 8everal Members of the Topeka Force Shoot at Bnllseye Today. Several officers in the Topeka police department went into the woods be yond Auburndale this forenoon to practice marksmanship. T he officers none of them pose as crack shots but the re sult was highly satisfactory. The bull's eye was a piece of white card-board Z inches square, and Capt. John Gardiner hit it three times. Patrol Driver Aye hit it once- on the edge, and Sergeant Frank Ellison failed to touch it except once. Chief Wilkerson claims to have hit it once in the same place that Cap tain Gardiner did. There is one hole larger than any of the rest, but whether the chief hit the target or not is a matter of controversy. The executive committee of the Kan sas Republican league is to meet in To peka on Monday, May 20. It is under stood that the meeting is called to take steps toward arranging the fall campaign. TO BE ROBINSON. Fresh Facts to Prove That A. A. Robinson Is Certain to Be the Santa Fe's President BEFORE MANY MOONS. Mr. Robinson Now in Europe on Santa Fe Business. Matters Soon to Be Fixed Up Satisfactorily. Mr. A. A. Robinson, who was formerly general manager of the Santa Fe and is now president of the Mexican Central, is to return to the Santa Fe and will without doubt be president of the road when the reorganization is perfected, according to the latest story which seems to be from a most reliable source. Mr. Robinson, it is said, is already ac tively interested in the reorganization of the Santa Fe, and while he is filling the position of president of the Mexican Central, is helping to put the Santa Fe on its feet again. Mr. Robinson was in Topeka three weeks ago and went from here to Chi cago and then on to Boston. It is now learned that Mr. Robinson will before he returns to Topeka go to Europe on a strictly business trip in the interest of the Santa Fe road. He will visit the bondholders. Mr. Robinson will only remain on the European con tinent one week, but a man of Mr. Rob inson's business ability can accomplish a great deal in that time. This is not the first time Mr. Kobinson has crossed the water in the interest of the reorganization of the Santa Fe as it is now known that he went on busi ness of that kind when he visited Europe last fall. As the financial backers of the Mexi can Central are me men wno nave al ways been interested in the Santa Fe, it appears to be reasonably certain that the story is true. Mr. Robinson is to be re turned to the Santa Fa as its president as soon as the road can be taken from the control of the receivers. THEY'RE WITH US YET. The Traveling Men Like Topeka and Are Staying by Her. The commercial men spread them-. salves over town pretty much this morn ing. The main bodv of them were in session at the hall of the Topeka council at 418 Kansas avenue, while the grand council held a secret session and talked things over. Both sessions were secret. The main business of the morning ol the common councils was the initiation by imposing ceremonies of thirteen can didates into the order. They were George W. Bragunier of Emporia, G. A. Rounsanell oi Chicago, a U. van vaiK- enburg of Topeka, W. H. Foster of Salina, M. Greentree oi .Kansas City, Al. Van Cleave of Kansas City, M. A. Pryor of Topeka, Jasoa L. Clark of Topeka, J. A. Fern of Salina, Harry Brown of Atchison, D. H. Lewis St. Joseph, and George A. Johnson of Salina. This consumed the entire forenoon and the boys spared no pains to see that it was done right. It was said to have been the most in teresting meeting of the session and Grand Councilor Torrance who made a speech before the close of the meeting at one o'clock said that it was the pleas- antest he had ever seen in the United States and. he had attended all of them. The Kansas boys are hustlers, he thinks. During this session of the drummers, the first in Tooeka. they say they have been treated most royally. Many build inga on Kansas avenue were decorated with flags and bunting and all honor has been shown lopena'a welcome guests. The Parhurst-Davis company distrib uted cigars. Mart Wickidal distributed 800 moroc co pocket cases, each containing three of Charley Egle's favorite cigars, and E. W Ray gave away a whole bushel of "aweatine," which is not good to put on pancakes. A lot oi traveling men are just like a lot of boys, anyway, in feelings. Who ever saw an old traveling man? They were all happier even than usual. In spite of the fact that Mr. Troutman says a Democratic drummer's jaw wab bles, and that his nasal appendage is the color of the rose, Pete O'Day admits that he is one, and car. prove it. A mean man says that Macklin, the coal heaver. Whiting, the man who always pays an additional fee to remain in good standing, and Hueston, the suave secretary of 31, can do more bluffing and less work than anybody else in the order. The enrollment has reached nearly three hundred today and before the good feeding comes on tonight it will be swelled to fifty more, it is said. The election of officers will take place at the business meeting this afternoon, and it will then also be decided whether or not Topeka will be the permanent convention place. The Topeka council aided by the Lawrence council has done such a good job of entertaining that it is very likely the resolution will be passed. At 4 o'clock the body of drummers, about 300 in number, headed by Marshall's band' and the newly-elected officers in ciri geawil march from Sixth and Cjuiucv streets tu the state house, and have their picture taken assembled on the steps. Tonight at Hamilton hall will be the banquet, which will be in one respect only a dry one. Nothing but temperance drinks of the most rigid kind will be served, and the Kansas traveling man will maintain his broadcast reputation for sobriety and general Sunday school deportment. Following is the menu. It is headed by the quotation, "Now good digestion, wait on appetite and health on both:" Beuto&niere. Cold Tongue. Cold Ham. Boned Turkey. Olives. Radishes. Tomatoes French Dressing. Chickea Salad. Saratoga Chips. Strawberries. Meringues. Chocolate Cake. White Cake. Macaroons. Cheese! Coffee. Crackers. Salted Almonds. Fruit, Watson's orchestra will play. Grand Councilor W. F. Tuttle wil ba toastmaster. supreme Grand Councilor A. J. Dowd of Chicago will respond to the toast, "Why are We Councilors?" Grand Conductor James A. Kimball to "lhe State of Kansas," O. E. Comstock of Hutchinson to "Our Order;" A. IL Gufler of Lawrence, to Our Customers;" R. S. Crohn of Con cordia, to "The Ladies;" W. J. Kendrick of Wichita, to "The Head of the House:" 8. P. Burnell of Clay Center, to "My First Trip;" J. W. Hall of Independence, to: "The ExDense Account:" C. F. C Kayser of Fort Soott, to "Nothing Today;" W. C. Brady of Oklahoma City, to "Our Adopted, Sis ter;" and E. W. Poindexter of Topeka. to "Our Visitors Good Night and Good sye." "To all. to each, a fair erood night, and pleasing dreams and slumber light" And that's the last you will see of the jolly traveling men until next year at least. A DRUMMEK STORY. The Reason Why He Joined, by One of the Boys. Hare's a story by a drummer in Tope ka today: I am a great fellow on these secret societies and I belong to nearly all of them from the "Grand Knights of the Diamond Garter' down to the 'Sons of Iritemperan ce.' I was sitting on a bath tub talking to my old friend Dick Morehouse the other day and we were getting very much excited over the new and ever conglomerated question of political officials in Kansas, when a man by the name of Jo Kilhoii interrupted us with a request fur two dollars. "He said that his remittance had not yet arrived and he guessed it was be cause the house did not recognize his expense account because of the absence of any bar account or item m it. I told him my $2 to lend was in, but that I never lent it to any but drummers. Ha said he was a drummer. I gave him the grand hailing sign of the Black Ribbon society and he tumbled." Just then Jack Miller and Dick House passed through on their way down stairs to jet shaved. They stopped and Dick gave him the grip of the K F. A., which being answered satisfactorily, Jack wrote a request to Trimble to get sample out of town and grant a general permit to the brother. Then Dick asked him if he was a Pre varicator. "He looked wise and showed a hatchet suspended to his watch chain. Then Dick Morehouse tipped him the hair puliing signal of the "Touch Up Club." He smiled and said "II. O." This is a technical term. Blazer dropped in about this time and asked him if he would attend a social session. He re plied Hironemous. Then Dick More house examined him as follows, to make sure he was a drummer: "From whence earnest thou, pard?" "From the lodge of the holy St. Joe, Mo." "What seek ye here to do?" "To take a few orders and to collect some bills." "Then you are a drummer?" "I am ao taken and accepted by the boys." 'How may I know you to be a drum mer?" "By my cheer, and my fifty-pound sample case. Try me." "How will you be tried?" "Bv the Squire." "Why by the Squire?" "Because the Squire is a magistrate and and emblem of stupidity." "Where were you first prepared for a drummer?" "In a printing office adjoining a regu lar post of drummers." "You then joined the post?" "I did." "How gained you admission?" "By the benefit of my cheek." 'Had you the requisite amount?" "I had not, but my friend Guy Huyett did and lent ma some," "How were you received?" "By the dusting of my natural trousers with a gentleman's boot" "What happened next" "I was set down on a cake of ice and asked if I put my trust in the mercan tile reports." "Your answer?" "Not if I know myself." "How was you next handled?" "I was put straddle of a goat made of a two bv four and carried around the room several times." "What then?" "I beheld a copy of port open at the Upon the open ti. G.

CAN'T STOMriGTQRY. Bland Believes That Silver Forces Will Triumph. Democratic Party Must Throw Cleveland Overboard. A FREE SILVER MAN. Democrats Must Name One or Disappear from Politics. Gold Men Have Lost Confidence of the People. Denver, May 11. Richard P. Bland, ex-congressman from Missouri, who will open a Colorado lecture tour tonight, 1 peaking on "The Fight of Twenty Years in Congress for the Free Coinage of Sliver and the Fight Yet to Come," said, in a interview today, that in hia opinion nothing can prevent a victory for the silver forces in the presidential elec tion next year, "The time has come," he said, "when no concession, no compromise, no trifling will be permitted. The Democratic party must throw Cleveland overboard or go to destruction. I am a Democrat, and believe that the members of that party will be strong enough to down Cleveland, office-holders and all. If the Democratic party does not put up a free silver man and come out squarely for free silver, it will disappear as a political factor. "I believe that the party that cornea out on this question so that there can ba no misunderstanding will succeed. I do not care what the party is if the others attempt to equivocate. The other side has never been given to concession. It has all the law on its side and has had for many years. It is now time that they should do a little of the concession busi ness. 'If the predictions of the gold men in regard to the repeal of the Sherman aw had come true I have no doubt that silver would have received a blow that would have taken years to have recov ered from. But as it happened the pre dictions of the silver men came true. Times did not improve after the repeal of that law. As a mat ter of fact they trot worse "It was harder to get a day's work after than before and it is my opinion that times cannot get good enough be tween now and a year from this fall to make any difference. The gold men say that if times would only get good then they could talk to the people. Perhaps the salvation of silver may come through two bad things, that is, the repeal of the Sherman law and the hard times 'The gold men have lost the confidence oi the people, luey are trying hard to regain it, but they are in a hopeless endeavor. The people laugh when they begin to talk about international agreements, about American coinage, 'Honest money' a'nd other bugbears that used to work. They do not scare any longer. The time is almost here when the people of this country are ready to say 'between gold monometallism and silver monometaliam we will take the latter.' "Do I believe that the silver sentiment is growing as rapidly in the east as has been report.ed?Mostaisuredly Ido.Among the money changers and the baukers there has beeu no change, but the indus trial classes in all the great east are read ing and investigating and they are be coming daily more pronounced for free silver. "This fact is becoming patent to the gold men. They are trying by every means at command to counteract thid, but the volume of the movement is too great in my judgment Bankers are working among business men now in the east and even iu my own state and are attempting to create what they are pleated to term a business men's party in hope that the growth of the free silver sentiment may be stopped. "1 look upon the situation with a great deal of satisfaction and believe that the next year will see a complete restora tion of silver to its place beside geld, where it will be jnst as good if not a little better than gold." CALL. A SILVER CONFERENCE. Iowa Democrats Issue a. Manifesto to Fight Gold Standard Forces. Des Moines, la.. May 11. A call for a state silver conference in this city June 6, has been issued bv about forty well known Democrats, headed by ex-Lieutenant Gov. Bestow. The call says: "It can no longer be doubted that a concerted effort is being put forth by a minority, but a power ful minority within both the Republican and Democratic parties to foist upon the country the class doctrine of gsld monometallism as distinguished from the genuine bimetallism contem plated by the constitution and advocated by the Democracy since the birth of the party "This movement is backed primarily by the money lenders of Europe and secondarily by the class interests in this country that have grown up under vicious legislation. Their forces, com paratively few in number, but working in perfect harmony for a central purpose, have perfected their plans to control the temporary and permanent organization of the state convention to be held in Marshalltown, August 7. "If the plans of the' gold stand ard forces are not bravely met and defeated, the party in Iowa will certainly be enrolled under the banner of the European financiers and the Wall street bankers. Let us face the issue like true Democrats and acquit ourselves like men giving our adversaries no cause for just com plaint, but let it be a fight to a finish. There is no time for shrinking; no time for silly compromises on vital issues the wellfare of the party for years to come is at stake." Subaeribe for the Journal.

Gives Notice it Will Leave the Passenger Association at Denver. Denver, May 11. The Burlington railroad company has filed notice with Chairman Flynn of the local passenger association, that it will withdraw from that organization May 15. No reason is given for this action. One inference drawn is that the. Burlington takes this step for the purpose of forcing the Union Pacifio into au .ironclad, agree ment on western passenger business. Another interpretation of the move ment is that it is simply in the interests of economy and that the Burlington will still agree to any reduced excursion rates that those remaining in the associa tion may make.

Donald McNulta has been a student at the Illinois VVesleyan univer sity at Bloomington, and for a year has been devoted to the lady. J)U MAURIER TO SAIL.

Though maize is poorer than entire wheat flour in flesh formers, it is be yond comparison better than the almost pure starch wheat flour found in south ern markets. Its large percentage of fat is well balanced by the favorite accom paniment of buttermilk and a great va riety of vegetables and fruits. The sim plest forms of cocking it are in the greatest favor, and a hoecake made from meal ground in the old time wa ter mill is both good and wholesome. To make it mix meal with cold wa ter until it will drop in a soft batter from a epoon. Add salt to taste and let it stand for a few minutes for the meal to swell. Meanwhile rub a hot bake griddle with a piece of fat pork called in the cracker dialect "rneatskin." Pour on yonr batter until about one half inch thick and bake it gently until well browned on both sides. In modern times it is usually set into the oven, but a genuine hoecake is cooked over hot embers on the hearth. Don't mind any scurrilous remarks about "chicken food," but eat it slowly, with care to masticate thoroughly, and its whole- some sweetness will be a grateful sur prise. Exchange.

Paul Jones' 1'amous Answer. Miss Molly Elliot Seawell in a sketch of "Paul Jones," iu The Century, quotes a portion of. Jones' own account of the battle between the Bon Eomme Richard and the Sera pis: "I directed the fire of one of the three Cannon against the mainmast With double headed Shot Whi'a the other two Were ex ceedingly well served with grape and Can nister shot to Silence the Enmie's mus quetry and clear her Decks which was at last effected, the Enemy Were, as I have Binee understood, on the instant of Calling (or quarter, "When the cowardise or treach ery of three of my undor officers induced them to call to the Enen.y, the English Commodore asked me if I demanded quar ter, and I having answered him in the most determined negative, they renewed the battle with redoubled fury." What Paul Jones evils a "most deter mined negative" was the celebrated an swer that will ever mark him as one of the bravest of the brave. The two ships lying head and stern enveloped in smoke as "they repeatedly caught fire from each other, and neither one in position to fire an effective shot, a sudden and awful silence ensued. Presently a call came from the Serapis, "Have you struck?" to which Paul Jones answered, "I have not yet begun to fight!"

Inmates Jumped from Windows to the Ground. Chicago, May 11. A fire in which one man is known to have lost his life and ten others were injured, four of them probably in a fatal manner, oc curred in a rooming house at 10 Sher man street at 1:15 this morning. The building is a three-story brick concern, standing directly across Sherman street from the north end of the board of trade building. The first floor was oc cupied as a saloon by H. Happel and floors above were used as a cheap hotel and rooming house by August Michael. The fire was started by n explosion in Happel's saloon and inside of a minute the whole lower front por tion of the building- was a mass of flames. The inmates never had the slightest chance of escape, for the only door by which entrance was had to the hotel was in front and close to the saloon door. The flames blocked that means of escape at once. Michael and h?s wife occupied the upper portion of the third floor and they were at the windows calling1 for help in a frantic manner when the first firemen arrived. Unfortunately this was not a truck, and thinking his chance of life would be gone in an other minute if he lingered in the building, Michael sprang from the third story to the pavement below. His left arm was broken and he sustained internal injuries. A sec ond after Michael hit the sidewalk and before the firemen had lifted him, another form sprang from the third story and came down on the pavement with a crash. It was a man and he was alive, but unconscious, when carried to the hospital. Mrs, Michael stuck to her window and was carried down by the firemen, as was her little girl, who remained with her. She was badly cut about the limbs by broken glass, but was not badly hurt. The fire was quickly extinguished and the firemen plunged into the house in search of more victims. One dead man was found in a front room and two others badly burned, and nearly suffo cated. In another room was found an other daughter of Michael, and in the other rooms and in the hallways five other men. One of them was said to be dying when placed in the ambu lance. LOSS OF LIFE BY AN EXPLOSION. Trinidad, Col., May 11. A terrible gas explosion occured early yesterday morning at 4 o'clock in the mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co., at Sopris, which resulted in the instant death of four persons and the injury of two others. The positions of all the bodies when found showed that the men were at work when the explosion occurred. They were lying across the track near the car which they had been using, and evidently met their fate while unwarned of any danger. They were all badly burned and blackened from the explosion. It is thought that the fire originated in the accumula tion of coal gas, and ignited from a miner's lamp, as none of the mines in this region has ever been troubled with gas, and the ventilation of the mine is good. Had the explosion oc curred during the daytime when the men were all at work, the results would have been frightful, as ordi narily there are from 200 to 300 men employed in the mines. Prof. Geo. F. Barker, of the University of Pennsylvania, declares: "I have found Dr. Price's Baking Powder superior to every other." An Infant's 'Terrible Death. Kansas City, Mo., May 11. Eddie, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Edmond W. Peck, of 1523 East Eleventh street, succeeded in getting a bottle of car bolic acid last night while toddling about the family room. The child swallowed a portion of the poison and died in great agony an hour later. It is not known how the baby secured the bottle. He was not quite 2 years old. Tinsley Won iu tour Hounds.

The Missouri Senator Writes a letter on the Subject of the White Metal. Washington, May lL Almost the last thing Senator Cockrell did before leaving this city for his home was to write a letter to ex-Senator McLaurin, of Mississippi, on the silver question, a letter that is looked upon by the silver people as a reply to some of the senti ments recently expressed by the presi dent in his letter to Gov. Stone. Sen ator Cockrell commends Mr. Bland's recent interview, and among other things says: "I have never ceased to wonder why the people of the south and west, fur nishing so largely as they do products whichare exported for gold, should be willing to submit to all the disadvan tage and loss of gold monometal lism and to content themselves with an appreciating and fluctuating currency, constantly appreciating more and more in its purchasing power and constantly depreciating the market or selling price and the debt-paying power of their products, while permit ting others to reap a profit from the transmutation of the prices of their productions from gold to silver." Senator Cockrell speaks of an "ava ricious guardianship and selfish dicta tion of Great Britain," condemns the recent issue of bonds to the Morgan-Belmont-Rothschilds syndicate "as a burden on this and other genera tions" yielding an enormous profit, argues against the single gold stand ard, and adds: "If there are dem ocrats who suppose that our party can stand on a platform embodying such doctrine as the single gold stand ard either through its affirmative strength or through the perplexity of our opponents on the same proposition, they should no longer deceive them selves nor longer refuse to look in the face the results that will follow the defeat, if not the disintegration of the democratic party upon the issue that tempts them from their allegiance and allies them with the foreign and plu tocratic classes against our own Amer ican masses. PROCLAIMED PRESIDENT. Senor Pal ma. Recently Elected President of Cnba by the Insurgents, Director of a New York Seminary. New York, May 11. Tomas Estrada Palma, recently proclaimed president of the Cuban republic by the insur gents, lives in Central Valley, N. Y. There he directs a large seminary for the education of wealthy Cubans. Senor Palma was born in Bayamo, TOMAS ESTRADA PALMA Cuba, in 1835. During the last revolu tion he was constantly in the field. His valor and natural ability to handle soldiers attracted the attention of his countrymen and he was named for one office after another until finally he was proclaimed president of the republic. In 1877 he was captured and im prisoned. When the war ended he was freed and came to this country. Senor Palma is married and has five bright children.

Noa-conipliance With Law Governing Subsidized Roads Alleged. Chicago, May 11. General John C Black, United States district attorney. has hied a suit in the United States dis trict court for the recovery of $5,000 from the Chicago, Rock Island and Paci fic railroad. The declaration accompanying the suit sets forth that the road is one of those subsidized by the United States with land grants, and that the officers of the road have neglected and refuse to make the report required by the laws regulat ing land grant roads. The report of the ro;id for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894 has been demanded by tho land commissioner of the United States and refused. The declaration sets out that failure to make such a report subjects the road to an imposition of $5,000 fine, and the court is asked to render a judgment for that amount. For thirty years the Royal has been th6 standard for purity and strength in baking powders, and has been placed at the head by every board of official ex aminers, whether State or National. HOGG'S MISSION. lie Wants to Build Mor Railroad in the Lone Star State. New York, May 11. The mission of the ponderous ex-Governor James Hogg of Texas in this city has at last been dis covered. For six weeks the governor has been stopping at the Fifth Avenue hotel. He wants to build a road to Temple, connecting with the main line to the west of Trinity. Up to date the road is merely a paper affair, without a name. Down in Texas they call it Hogg's road. The trnmp-card argument Governor Hogg keeps for his last play is that when the road is built and ready for operation George Gould, the present head of the Missouri, Kansas Texas, will be asked to buy it. The Stats Journal's Want and Mis cellaneous columns reach each working day in the week more than twice as many Topeka people as can be reached through any other paper.

The Crop Prospects Have Very Much Improved. New York, May 11. R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The event of the week is the demor alization of foreign exchange caused by enormous sales of bonds abroad. Besides a sale of $10,000,000, Manhattan and other railroad bonds through the syndicate, large purchases on foreign account have been covered for some weeks, so that the aggregate probably exceeds 550,000,000 since the sale of governments. Safety for the summer means much for all business, and the syndicate deems it so fully assured that it distributes 40 per cent, of the money advanced by its associates which relieves a large amount to stim ulate operations in security and prod ucts. Crop prospects also have greatly improved and this is of still higher im portance, as it will do much to deter mine the character and volume of all business after summer uncertainties are over. In addition, business is re viving, although the gain in great in dustries is retarded by many strikes. Sales of wheat for the week have been 34,000,000 bushels against 95.000, 000 the previous week, and 81,000,000 the week before, and sales of cotton 542,000 bales against 1,046,000 the pre vious week, 1,192,000 the week before. But Thursday brought new activity. Wheat had fallen 2)4 cents, but rose 2 cents that day. Western receipts are 1, 467,100bushels against 1,264,764 last year and Atlantic exports of flour included 1,615,C51 bushels against 2,214,041 last year. In three weeks since the rise in wheat these exports have been 5,160, 121 bushels against 7,849,971 last year. Pork has fallen 25 cents per barrel, lard 20 cents and hogs 30 cents per 100 pounds. Cotton is lower and receipts in spite of a bad prediction of great decline, still exceed those of 1892. The industries were distinctly gaining when strikes began, which have spread quite widely. Garment workers in several cities and Pocahontas coke workers are still out, with several thousand woolen workers, near Providence. Other woolen mills and the furnaces in the Shenango and Mahoning valleys, which were making 25,000 tons per week, have stopped, as has the Illinois steel works, -the largest western con cern, so stocks are directed affected, which produced 23 per cent, of the en tire output April 1. The Amalgamated association also proposes a over the new wage scale. struggle The output of iron still exceeds the consumption, but has fallen 1,573 tons weekly in April to 150,554 May 1. Bes semer pi? has been raised to S10.90 at Pittsburgh and the general demand for finished products does not equal the recent output, but is distinctly in creasing, bars and sheets selling more largely, though structural specifica tions are disappointingly slow. The more noteworthy gain is in orders for steel rails, 30,000 for the Pennsylvania and 50,000 for a western road. Coke production still lessens, 6,722 tons for the week, and 36.356, or 23 per cent., in the past three weeks. Tin has been raised 14.4 cents, and copper to 10 by increasing demand. Sales of wool for the week are less than in 1S92, but larger than in the past two years, though prices do not rise. Rather more demand appears for men's woolens, but cancellations are also more numerous, and imports of woolen goods with withdrawals from warehouses were about $19,000,000 in the first quarter of the year, against about $5,000,000 last year. Cotton goods continue strong, mills being well employed, and they hold heavy stocks of raw cotton bought at low prices. The failures this week have been 227 in the United States, against 206 last year, and 34 in Canada, against 42 last year. The grocer sends the new brand of baking powder simply because it costs him so much less and he can make more profit by selling it than he can on the Royal. The Royal is made from the vpry finest materials and costs much more than any other brand, which ac counts for its superiority, although it is sold to consumers at the same price. FORJl A TRADE BOYCOTT. Germans and Spaniards to Work Against England and America. New York, May 11. A special from Tegucigulpa, Honduras, says: The German and Spanish merchants through out Central America are forming a league to work against the English and Americans in trade matters. They wish to monopolize the trade of these countries and believe their oppor tunity has arrived. So far care ml in quiry shows that only two South Ameri can countries are willing to join in a boycott against England. Perfection through all the varied pro cesses gives Dr. Price's Baking Powder its supremacy. CATS GROWING POPULAR. The Feline Show at New Tors: Will Find Many Imitators. New York, May 11. The cat show seems not only to have taken the city but the country at large. Dispatches and letffers have been received by Sec retary Hyde from Boston, Minneapolis and Providence, asking his assistance and advice on the organization of eat shows, which it is said, will be held in those cities in the near future. Steps are already being taken toward the formation of a national association along the same lines as the dog clubs, and cats will be registered as dogs are now. A CRAZY DEED. An Infatuated Man Murders a Girl and Then Suicides. Philadelphia, May 11. A terrible tragedy was enacted on the sidewalk in front of S6 North Seventh street, at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, in the presence of a throng of passers-by, by August Tepper, manufacturer of nov elties, aged 36 years. He shot Clara Herhold, alias Schmidt, aged 26 years, twice in the right side, and then sent a ballet into his right temple, killing him almost instantly. The girl was re moved to a hospital, where she died half an hour later without having re gained consciousness. The murder and suicide was due to love. Tepper is a married man and lives at 313 Noble 6treet with his wife and family. He was desperately in love with, the Her hold girl, but his advances were coldly received. The girl came from Germany about a year ago and went to live with the Tepper family as a servant. POOR LO HAS TOO MANY WIVES. Washington, May 11. --Special Agent Dickson, at Pine Ridge, S. D., has re ported to the Indian office that Amer ican Horse, the well-known Sioux chief, has been arrested on a charge of bigamy and released on bail pend ing trial. The agent recommends that steps be taken to stop the proceed ings, which he regards as the first in a series of like arrests. All the older Indian chiefs have had several wives for forty years and more, and no one has ever dreamed of interfering be fore. The impression prevails in the Indian office that the arrest of Ameri can Horse is a part of a general plan, of which the recent Turtle mountain disturbances were a part, to trump up cases against Indians and secure fees for the United States deputy marshals who make the arrests. a saloonkeeper robbed. Kansas City, Mo., May 11. Just as S. H. Bruner, a saloonkeeper at 417 Southwest boulevard, was on the point of closing his place of business last night, at 11:45, two men entered the saloon, and, drawing revolvers, forced him to open his safe and allow them to secure the contents. When the men first made their de mand Bruner thought they were perpe trating a joke, but when he started to parley with them, he found them fear fully in earnest. The robbers carried away $40 in money and two gold watches and chains. The men were dressed in gray suits and wore cloth hats. As a matter of useful information it may be stated that whenever a cooking receipt calls for a baking powder the "Royal" should be used. The receipt will be found to work better and surer, and the bread, biscuit, rolls, cakes, dump lings, crusts, puddings, crullers or what ever made, will be sweeter, lighter, finer-flavored, more dainty, palatable and wholesome. SOUTHERN BAPTISTS MEET. Twenty-five Hundred Delegates Present Officers for the Ensuing Year Fleeted. Washington, May 11. The semi centennial convention of the Southern Baptist church began in this city yes terday with almost 2,500 delegates and visitors present, including all the most eminent divines and laymen of the Southern Baptist church. The open ing session was devoted to organiza tion. Jonathan Haralson, of Alabama, was unanimously re-elected president. R. J. Willingham, secretary of the Foreign Missions society, presented some very interesting facts in connec tion with the work in foreign fields. Over 130,000 was expended, and 92 per cent, of this was directly used for the work of converting heathen. Rev. I. T. Tichenor's report on home missions showed steady increases in all respects. The Education society of the church met and discussed at great length the plans for the extension of the Colum bian university, a Baptist institution of this city. It was estimated that $1,000,000 would be required to carry out the ideas for the extension of the university. The whole mat ter was finally referred to the executive committee, which alone has the power to act. The society elected the following officers and adjourned: President, Prof. Andrew McLeish, of Illinois; vice president, Rev. Dr." J. P. Greene, of Missouri, and Senator J. N. Dolph, of Oregon; recording secretary, Rev. F. M. Poteat, of Connecticut; cor responding secretary, H. L. Moor house, of New York; treasurer, Joshua Levering, of Maryland; auditor, Wil liam M.

Programme Regarding Confederate Mon ument Will Be Carried Out. Chicago, May 11. As if in rebuke of the criticisms made by Department Com mander Thayer, of the Grand Army of the Republic of Massachusetts, the First infantry is preparing to make the dedica tion of the confederate suldiers' monu ment at Oakwood cemetery one of the most notable events in the history of the reaimeut. Instead of a firing party of one hundred men participating in the ceremonies on Decoration Day, there will be at least five hundred acting in that capacity. Every officer in the First is enthusiastically in favor of a patriotic demonstration in connection with the unveiling of the monument, and their enthusiasm ia shared equally by the enlisted men. Among those who have already signi fied their intention to be present are Lieutenant General Schofield, General Flagler of the regular army, General O. O. Howard, General Daniel Sickles, General John M. Palmer and General A. B. Middleton and several of the most distinguished confederate generals. Clearing house returns 'for the prin cipal cities in the United States for the week ended May 10 showed an average increase as compared with the corre sponding week last year of 256; in New York the increase was 36.5; out side New York, 10.6.

Kesidents of Pratt County Say the Present System Is Bankrupting TheO. Pbatt, May 11. Farmers in thi3 county have been talking about the ad visability of building a poor house on the county farm and most of those who have been considering the subject are strongly advocating such a move. They claim that at the present rate the pauper bills will soon bankrupt the county, and it is a fact which is becoming more and more apparent at each session of the board of county commissioners that the funds of the county treasury will be exhausted before next spring un less a halt is called and that speedily. Taxes are already so hign that they are becoming burdensome, and if county warrants should get back to the point where they would have to be discounted we would again be left to the mercy of the sharks. Reports would indicate great extrava gance. Persons receiving aid from the county are furnished with clothing and underwear which the family of the mer chant who sells the goods cannot afford to wear. The matter of a poor house will be brought to the attention of the people to be acted on. There is no baking powder which pro duces such sweet and tasteful food as the Royal Baking Powder.

Its nothing new for they have been selling on breaks and buying on bulges ever since the advance begun a month ago. It is a little singular that any one should see anything bearish on a government report that does not indicate more than 265 million bushels of wheat allowing for plowed-up and abandoned crops. This is 61,000,000 less than was estimated last year. The talent sold a great deal of wheat this .morning, and if the predicted frost materializes tonight in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois, there will probably be a wild scramble Monday to cover shorts. Primary receipts continue to fall off, being but 160,000 today while exports were over 400,000. The export trade is picking up and the de mand from millers is getting more active.

Chicago, May .11. For Kansas, Fair tonight, heavy frost toniarht; Sun day fair and warmer; light north winds. Conditions The cool wave which de veloped yesterday in the Rocky Moun tain regions has pushed rapidly eastward by an extensive high pressure area which now covers the region from tha Pacific ocean lo the Mississippi river. The tem perature this morning shows a decline varying from 15 to 3 J degrees through out the .Mississippi valley, upper lake region, northern Texas, Oklaho ma, Kansas and eastern Nebraska. Heavy frost is reported from Montana, AVyoming, Colorado, the Da kotas, Nebraska, north and west parts of Minnesota and light fro3t in Iowa, and the frost line will probably extend east ward by Sunday morniug to lower Michi gan and southward to southern Illinois and Missouri. The Baltimore board of trade is evi dently a Democratic institution, since it views "with alarm" the danger which threatens the credit of the nation. Dem ocrats have always had a monopoly in "viewing with alarm." Wheat is dead. Long live King Corn. Capital. If King Corn is deposed by King Hot Wind have you anybody next in succes sion? Abilene Reflector, lhe Frincesa Alfalfa is suggested. Thb New York legislature has passed a bill which has been signed by Gover nor Morton prohibiting gambling in all forma under heavy penalties. It doesn't even provide for a suspension of the law for a period of ten days during the year. Kansas can teach the New Yorkers a thing or two yet Thi gold monometaliist Democrats of Texas have coined a new phrase in con nection with the money question. They want the largest coinage of silver con sistent with good flnanca The amount of silver coined under this provision according to the 'sound money" idea would probably reach about $,000. Judge Hallet of Denver has decided to read the two "Trilbys" and the dra matization before rendering his decision iu the injunction suit which is pending in his court. If the decision ia to de pend on the judge's personal opinion, argument and submission of evidence seem to have been a useless part of the proceedings. Brazil appears to be experimenting a little on the establishment of a financial "iystera." "Financiers" are always dis covering some new way "not to do it" There can be but one sensible system after all which is fair to the whole peo ple, and that is to make money of some thing of which there is a sufficient quan tity available to do the business of the country on a cash basis. If this is im possible, then it is impossible to prevent the rich from taking undue advantage of the less fortunate. But is it impossible? A lono loud wail is ascending from the goldbug ring of the Democratic party over the disruption of the organi zation which they say is going on in con-: sequence of the silver question. That's nothing to make an outcry about. What does it matter if the old thing does break up. Of what use has it ever been to the country or to auj body, except a few of- flceholders. Come to think of it, these same officeholders are the fellows who are making the most fuss. It will not wurk this time. The old wreck is doomed. Texas, a wealthy commonwealth, like many an individual, has been living be yopd her means and finds herself with an empty treasury and $314,000 of obli gations due and unpaid. The recent leg islature went right on appropriating money just the same as though it were in the treasury. It should be a source of some pride to Kansana that our state has the money in the treasury today to pay every cent she owes. Not only that, but she would be little poorer after it was done, as most of the state's indebtedness is held by the state school fund. Calvin 3, Brick of Ohio and New York has heard that there is a free sil ver movement among Ohio Democrats and he hastens to enter a protest His principal reason for opposing any agi tation of the subject is that Mr. Cleve land is opposed to it. He adds that those who believe in and uphold the doctrines of the president on the money question should not be driven out of the Democratic party. Protests from men like Senator Brice no longer avail. The time has come when either the friends of the pres ident and the gold standard or the friends of the people and the silver standard must be driven out of the party. A test of strength is inevitable. The same party can no longer hold elements of views diametrically opposed.

If the proposition which shall be submitted to the people for their approval, be plain, easily understood, fair and square on its face, with no place for dodging, there is every reason to believe it will carry. But if there should be any appearance of extravagance or crookedness about it the people will vote it down as they have done on previous occasions. Then there will be two or three more years of delay and a big bill of expense for repairs on the old bridge with the ever present possibility of its collapse. A new bridure is needed too badly to take any cuauces of failure. I have recently obtained samples of the chief baking powders i:i tha market, and have subjected them to careful chemical examination to determine their purity, wholesomeness and leavening power. As the result of my tests I find the Royal Baking Powder superior to the others in every respect It is en tirely free from all adulteration and un wholesome impurity, and in baking it gives off a greater volume of leavening gas than any other powder. It i3, there fore, not only the purest, but also the strongest powder with which I am ac quainted. Walter S. Haines, M. D., Consulting Chemist, Chicago Board of Health. KANSAS PARAGRAPHS.

Men Who Have the Genius That Commands All the Faculties. A HUNDRED GOOD JUDGES OF HUMAfi X at are Selected to Pick Oat the Fore mast 51 en ia Sew ITerk-Chaneey 31. lepcw, C. Piatt, Henry Clews and Cel. lieCall. NewYohk, May 9. Who is the most brainy aruoug the well known men in New York? I have heard that query frequently propounded, and I have never heard a satisfactory answer given. In almost any state outside of the imperial one, not to speak of a municipality, the problem would be easy of solution. But the great metropolis of the new world is the Mecca toward which the eyes of the adventar- T. C. PLATT. C. M. DEPEW. ous and the ambitious are constantly set. The bold, the brainy and the brave men from every section of the state, the na tion and even of the globe come here in search of fame and fortune. And of all the great men of Gotham who now fill the public eye not one is a born New Yorker. I have interviewed 100 people duriDg the past fortnight with a view of ascer taining if possible who is New York's brainiest man. I selected the best judges of human nature, men who should be able to gauge pretty accurately the abil ities of their fellow men. They were newspaper men, lawyers, politicians, bankers, brokers and bonifaces. There was a great diversity of opinion, and the hundred talesmen selected something like 25 candidates. Senator David B. Hill was not balloted for, as he is an tip country man and not a resident New Yorker. Here are the nominations: Chauncey M. Depew, John A. McCail, Thomas C. Piatt, Joseph H. Choate, William C. Whitney, Henry Clews, Rob ert Q. Ingertioll, James C. Carter, Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, Charles A. Dana, Joseph Pulitzer, Whitelaw Reid, James Gordon Bennett, Frederic R. Coudert, William R. Grace, Pierpont Morgan, Leslie W. Russell, William M. Evarts, ex-Governor George H. Hoadley, Dr. Edward McGlyun, Russell Sage, Bonrke Cockran and Richard Croker, ex-king of Tammany HalL A Brilliant Quartet. Four candidates led all the rest by a decisive majority. Strange to say, each had 12 votes 4S out of a possible 100. This brilliant quartet were Chauncey M. Dopew, statesman, orator, wit, law yer and railroad magnate John A. Mc Cail, president of the New York Life Insurance company, litterateur, finan cier and great corporate organizer; Thomas C. Piatt, greatest of living pol iticians and most successful of business men, and Henry Clews, keenest and most farsighted of Wall street bankers, au thor, politician (in the best sense of the word) and public spirited citizen. These four men came the nearest, in that they possessed the "genius which commands all the faculties." All of them, oddly enough, possess strong points in com mon wit, wisdom, unflagging indus try, executive ability and political sa gacity. Chauncey M. Depew 's name is a household word in every home in the land. His history is too well known to require review here. Dr. Depew is now president of the New York Central rail road and accounted one of the. best law yers in the land. But for his connection with the Vanderbilts and other corpo rate interests he certainly would have been elected United States senator twice and perhaps president of this great coun try. John A. McCall, president of the New York Life Insurance company, albeit a dozen years younger, resembles "our Chauncey" in many respects. He has the same sunny temperament, an equal flow of wit and the same political tact and habits of industry. Withal he is a profound thinker, a man of the widest possible reading and a graceful writer as well as an earnest, eloquent speaker. His rugged honesty and unyielding will pass for a proverb among the politicians of the state. Mr. McCall was born in Albany 48 years ago, is practically self educated and strictly the architect of his own for- HEJTRY CLEWS. J. A. M'CALL. tunes. He has always been a Democrat in polities and with consummate tact manages to keep on the best of t terms both with Cleveland, Hill and their re spective friends. Every one knows of Henry Clews, the famous banker of Wall street. Every one, however, does not know that he is an author, litterateur, newspaper writer and politician as welL Mr. Clews was born in England 59 years ago. He was educated for the min istry, but preferred commercial life. He first entered the dry goods trade, then banking. He came to New York 3 5 years ago and has been a central figure in the metropolis ever since. He would never consent to hold public office, although frequently solicited to do so. A Great Politician. Who tloes not know Thomas C. Piatt, Republican leader of New York? Little CI frowzy can be added to what is not aVenrlv I known. To wonderful political acumen Mr. Piatt unites a power of commercial organization and a capacity for work which are positively astounding. He is successful in everything he touches, and, unlike other political bosses, he is as honest as the sun. As a politician he has no equal now living. Almost every one remembers how he and Roscoe Conkling returned from the United States senate in 1881 annihilated and brokenhearted. Conkling never recovered. Piatt did. He lived to get on top again in a few short years and crush or conciliate his ene mies, as his fancy dictated. With Piatt courage never dies. He has a fight for his political life now on hand, but the knowing ones predict he will win in the end. Besides being a great politician and a Buccessful business man Mr. Piatt wields a trenchant pen and supplies many of the newspapers in the interior of the state with snappy editorials in reply to the criticisms of his enemies in New York city. This is a pretty fair photograph of New York's "big four. I would like to know where yon can match them. William Standish Hates. The authorities of Canada have been making an elaborate study of the baking powders sold there. The official analyst of Ontario says as the result of his in vestigation that he "fiuds the Royal Bak ing Powder far superior to the others," and goes so far as to recommend its use in preference to any other. Likewise a series of over five hundred tests made by public analysts and chemists of promi nence throughout the country show it to be twenty-five per cent greater in leav ening strength than any of its competi tors. COMMISSION ER GRANT. Interesting Career of the Eldest Son of the Great Soldier and President. Colonel Frederick Dent Grant, who was recently appointed a police commis sioner in New York city, is the eldest son of Ulysses S. Grant and is said to grow more and more like his famous father in personal appearance as the years pass. He was born in St. Louis on May 80, 1800, and his earliest recol lections are of soldiers and army life. During the war he was a mere lad, but accompanied his father on many cam paigns and was repeatedly under fire. During a charge with Lawler's brigade at the battle of Champion Hill he re ceived a slight wound in the leg. Ex posure aggravated the wound and near ly cost the boy his life. In 1866 he entered West Point, prov ed his pluck by thrashing an upper classman and excelled in mathematics. During a furlough after graduation he was an engineer on the Union Pacific railroad, and in 1871 accompanied Gen- COLONEL FREDERICK DE5TT GRANT. eral Sherman as aid-de-camp during his tour of Europe. He was with Custer's expedition to the Black Hills and served in the Bannock war, spending in all about four years in fighting the Indians. He accompanied General Grant on his tour of the world, and in 1881 resigned from the army. He assisted his father in.the preparation of the memoirs, and in 1887 ran for secretary of state of New York, but was beaten. President Harrison appointed him en voy extraordinary and minister pleni potentiary to Austria-Hungary, and he served four years in that capacity. When President Cleveland was elected, Colo nel Grant received assurances that he could remain in the office if he desired, but preferred to resign. Colonel Grant returned to New York in 1893 and has since led a very quiet life. He was married in 1874 to Miss Ida Marie Honore, and the couple have two children Miss Julia Dent Grant, a beautiful daughter of 18, and U. S. Grant IH, a very promising boy of 14. Prof R, S. T. Patton, late chemist of the Chicago Health Department, reports: "Dr. Price's Baking Powders is a scien tifically prepared pure mixture." RECEPTION TO BLAND. lTomi n'.

EXPECTS TO GO CLEAR. Warden Chase Sure That He Will Ba Exonerated, wvma m rrrt Tin I IT TT TTTJTllrTt The Investigators Wave Failed te Slake a Case Say the Defense. Frank Herald, attorney for Warden Chase says that there ia no trath in the report that they anticipate a report from the committee recommending the dis missal of Warden Chase. "Why," said he, "we iuveatigated everything at the penitentiary from a head of cabbage to the coal mine. "Tne very closest scrutiny of all offic ial acta of the warden ws invited and demanded on his behalf. After taking testimony for thirty days, and after seven detectives had donated taeir entire time for a year to looking up and manufac turing testimony had dumped the result of their work before the committee, they wholly failed to make a case on a single charge. "We are confident of a full and com pie exoneration. I never felt more con fident of winning a case in my life."

An interesting voucher was exhibited before the asylum investigating comm't tee yesterday wnen some of the records of the state auditor's office were being examined. This particular voucher was made by Mary E. Lease, and it was sworn to be fore a notary public. In this voucher Mrs. Lease put in a claim against the state for $34.70 mileage and flo per diem for attending meetings of the state board of charities during the month of October, 184. The voucher was not endorsed by any other member of the board of charities yet it was ordered paid by ex-Auditor of State Van B. Prather and Mrs. Lease got the money. The records of the board of charities for the month of October, 1894, do not show that Sirs. Lease was pres ent at a single meeting, and the other members of the board say she was not there, but was out in the campaign mak ing speeches. "Will Insure for Anything. An insurance company has bean ad mitted by State Superintendent of In surance Geo. T. Anthony to do business in Kansas that will insure almost any thing on earth.

The salary ordinance, which made a eat in the salaries of the heads of nearly every department in the city, has not yet become a law, and the officials who would suffer from its operation may catch their breath. The ordinance has not been signed by the mayor and in its present shape will not be, though it is understood tht he does not object to the reductions. He has not signed it because he has discovered an error which he thinks would make it of no effect, tie says that the ordinance makes the salary of the city treasurer more than the limit allowed by the statute. It pro vides that the treasurer shall receive not more than $6JJ per annum and the ordinance allows him $72Ji The mayor will call the attention of the council to this conflict with the state law and ask them to imend the ordinance accord ingly. Before the office of city treasurer was made elective he was allowed $4X) per year, but Treasurer Rowley was also given $600 for clerk hire. Treas urer Elliott did away with the assistant and expected to be allowed $1,000. Then the council fixed his salary at $720 and cut off the allowance for clerk hire. While the ordinance must be amended and the treasurer's salary reduced he may be given an allowance for clerk hire, but that is hardly likely, and Trea surer Elliott will probably have to work for $5'J a month. This ia a kind of "ax po3t facto law" which is particularly aggravating. For many years the Government has given its orders for Royal Baking Pow der in preference to all others, it being found by the official examination, super ior to the others in strength and purity and the only Baking Powder that wiil keep and retain its strength in the cli mates of the various countries to which it is sent by the Departments. "ALL SISTERS" RECEIVE In Their New Boomi in Honor of the Glee Club. The literary society which the young ladies of Washburn organized not long ago is becoming quite a ceater of attrac tion in the college life. For some time tb.3y have been work ing to furnish their new rooms over the library. At their recent entertainment enough money was taken in to fit the new quarters up beautifully, and so last evening the opening of the rooms wa3 commemorated by a reception to the whole school, given in honor of the glee club, which furnished the advertising for the young ladies' entertainment. Miss Bertha Love well and Miss Cynthia Frank and Prof. Robert S wood worth and Mr. F. P. Strong received. The rooms were brightly decorated with red carnations, the flower of the V. C. L. S., and white daisies, the flower of the G. 8. Upon one wall. hung the banner presented by the glee club. The glee club was the first to gather about the festive board. Then followed refreshments for the remainder of lhe guests. In response to the repeated calls the glee club sang "Rowing Song" and "In Our Old Kentucky Home." The pleasantest little event of the evening was the singing of the "Golden Sword" and ecno by the young ladies. The Panthygaterians can well feel proud of their new room. It is the finest of any at the college, occupying more than one half of tha upper floor of the library building, and especially adapta ble for a gathering such as last nighty Price's Cream Baking Powder sup plies the world of women with leaven ing force.

It has been a mystery to many people as to how some of the young men about "town can afford to ride the latest pattern bicycle when many men on larger sal aries find it inconvenient to ride a wheel. Au examination of the chattel mort gage record in the office of the register of deeds wipes away this mystery. The chattel mortgage record shows that some of the largest bicycle dealers in the city sell their best wheels on the installment plan and take a chattel mort gage on the wheel to secure the pay ments. Of course this is not the only line of business where the sales are frequently entered on the record kept by the regis ter of deeds, as piano, oriran and sewing machine dealers do a considerable busi ness aloag this line, but it has not been generally known that soma r-f the finest bicycles in town are not oM-ed by their riders. DR. JAENECKE DEAD. Cams to tha United States and Founded a Big Ink Factory. Newark, N. J., May 11. Dr. Paul Jaenecke, doctor of philosophy of Ueidel burg university, Germany, who had been in this country eight years, was found dead in his bed in this city last night. Dr. Jaenecke was thirty-seven years of age, single and had come to Newark about four years ago to start the Jaenecke Ullman Ink factory. His father is the editor and proprietor of the Hanoverischen Courier of Han over, one of the greatest papers in Ger many, and he also owns the largest ink factory in Europe.

GAIETY AT THE BALL. The Traveling Men Hare a Joyful Time AT HASILTOH HALL LAST SIGHT. The Waltsea and Schottiiehee Wen On Until 2 O'clock. This Morning. There was a crash of music and a glare of light and a stately tread of feet at Hamilton hall last night about half past 9 o'clock and the grand march of the Kansas commercial travelers' ball began the dance. For an hour before, the traveliu g men and the ladies who accompanied thein and their friends to the number of at least 800 had been getting acquainted during the reception time, and it was a handsome, enlivening scene. It was not a full dress affair, though there were many party costumes and it was alto gether a fashionable gathering. Supreme Counsellor A. J. Dowd of Chicago with Mrs. R L. Chamberlain led the grand march. Watson's orchestra played. When the commercial travelers start to do a thing, they do it with their might. That is about the only instruction in the Bible with which the traveling men have anything in particular to da, perhaps, but they obey that literallv. The hall was handsomely decorated. Above the stage hung the beautiful flo ral emblem of the order, the crescent and sample cage. The orchestra occu pied a platform at the east end of the auditorium. Very properly indeed there were no cards of the dance and the announcements were made from the easel on the stage. Will Seiler, who had been expecting a "warm time," was fully prepared for it with eight revolving fans and before evening the weather had changed so that an overcoat was comfortable. Charley Burnham, who weighs some thing less than 400 pounds, had lots of fun with Mr. Seiler about it, but after he had shaken himself up to the music of the first quadrille he was mighty glad to have the fan turned on. Among the Topeka people present were Lieutenant Governor Troutman, Norman Wear, Mrs. Wiggin, D. J. Hard ing, J. R Hiinkla, S. Eultnger, S. Hey man, George Eagle, C. Eagle, Irving Doolittle, J. K. Jones, E. Lauge, A. W. Lacey, Dr. Ashton, W. C. Garvey, W. W. Webb, R S. Johnson, J. F. Mvers, F. E. Wear, T. G. Wear, G. Seward", Dr. L. II. Munn, E. C. Fitch and diughter Helen.

It des not make any d.iference to a drummsr how much flesh he happens to have along if he wants to dauca, and there Is a good looking girl to dince with, and wherever you find the drum mer you always find the good looking girl, or perhaps it is vice versa. At least there were several waltzing hurricanes of flesh that when they once got started were equal to the task of mowing with a reckless, if not wreck less, hand all little people who were un fortunate enough to be in the way. The aspect of a mountain like Mr. Huyett of Salina or Mr. Shin of Kansas City bearing down ahead of a fair wind from an eletric fan upon a little fellow like Mr. Brunson of Salina or Mr. Wick idal of Topeka was enough to alarm the stoutest hearts. There was further cause for alarm oc casionally when Mr. Wickidal's rising spirits would get the better of his judg ment aud he would insist on doing the Mobile buck right where the floor was the weakest. But of course this is a joke. It was also thought at one time that a minister had strayed into the room to ex patiate upon the wickedness of dancing in general and its demoralizing effects on traveling men in particular, but it turned out to be only Alphabet Da Wolfe of Hutchinson. However, he did not stop the dance. It was nearly 2 o'clock before the dance terminated, aud even then the peo ple hadn't had enough. The floor committee consisted of Messrs. D. J. Harding, Seymour Hey mon, E. McBride, P. E Cary, Walter Clark, R K. Jamison, Mart Wikidal, Wallace Rynerson, W. Seiler and Chas. Guild. Points of excellence of Dr. Price's Baking Powder should appeal to every one who desires the best cooking. PERISH OF STARVATION, One Hundred and sixty Indiana Near Hudson Hay Iie of Hunger. Montreal, Que., May 11. Official reports from the vicinity of Fort Chimo, a Hudsou Bay company's trading post on Ungava Bay, show that two thirds of the entire tribe of MontagnaU Indians trad ing at the post have perished of starva tion in one season, over 160 in number. As usual among the Indians, the men die first, so that a number of unfortunate women and orphans were left helpless. The few white people at Fort Chimo and the officers and crew of the Hudson Bay steamer Eric, wintering there, took up a collection to clothe the survivors who were as destitute of clothing as they were of food. The Canadian govern ment has now taken action which it is hoped will prevent the repetition of such a catastrophe, by placing a sum of money at the disposal of the Hudson Bay company for the relief of the Indians and the Esquimaux in the event of an other severe winter for nearly thirty Esquimaux are reported to have per ished in addition to the wholesale Indian fatality. The cause of the destitution this win ter was the scarcity of reindeer and other game. The Royal Baking Powder, as every cook knows, is always to be relied upon. It ia one of the greatest aids she has. She is always able with the least trouble to make the very finest biscuits, cakes, muf fins and crusts. Many a cook's reputa tion has been made by the delicious things she has been able to make with it. SAM JONES' LECTURE. It Will Be on "Character and Characters." Arrangements for Rev. Sam P.

Many receipts as published still call for creain-of-tartar and soda, the old fashioned way of raising. Modern cook ing and expert cooks do not sanction this old way. In all such receipts the Royal Baking Powder should be substituted without fail. "DIG JIM'S" RECORD. His Standing in Topjka is a Matter of Controversy in Oklahoma. Robart A Lowrey, an attorney at Stillwater, Ok., has written to Chief nilkerson for a statement of the stand ing of "Big Jim" Mcllenry in Topeka. Mcllenry is an important witness in the murder case in which his wife was the victim, and her step-mother is the mur derer. Mr. Lowrey states that he was in- informed that "Big Jim" is under indict ment in Topeka for selling liquor, and it is assumed here that the object of the letter is to secure evidence to impeach JUctienry's testimony. Chief Wilkerson answered that "Big Jim" is not under in dictment in Topeka, and that the last time he was tried for selling liquor he was acquitted and the prosecution was proven to have been malicious. The Royal Baking Powder maintains its vigorous hold on the public, and is ac tive aud aggressive against the impure and injurious baking powders palmed off on the people. In this task it is perform ing a good work for honest and unadul terated food products. TOPEKA WINNERS. MesHra. Hinckley and Shirer Reach the Barring JPolut Notes From Hutchinson. The honors brought home from the Hutchinson jubilee were as follows: Tenor prize H. L. Shirer. Bass prize Vincent Graham. Lidies quartette The Wyatt sisters. Piano duet Miss Camobell and Mrs. Going. in addition to these prizes, Miss Lucia Wyatt brings an honorable mention for excellent soprano work, and Miss Anna Campbell has a years' free tuition with Professor Seebeck in Chicago. The chorus work at the jubilee was especially fine work, Emporia's "By Babylon s Wave being the gem of the whole jubilee. Eighty-three voices. The pianists made the closest contests. Ten of them had to play a second time to enable the judges to render a fair de cision. H. V. Hinckley was a looker on, but not a contestant, having been barred un der the jubilee rules from entering this year as he has taken the prize two years in succession. He was the only one ruled out this year. II. L. Shirer will be the only one ruled out next year, having won last year and thu year. It is proposed to organize a state as sociation of musicians next fall, which association will advise with the Hutchin son local management in regard to ele vating the musical standard of the jubi lee. A complete oratorio on the Cincinnati plan, with imported artists, has beea mentioned as one of the possibilities for 1893. Mr. Hinckley was heard to say that he would have given $25 for the privilege of contesting this year. He evidently doesn't like the idea of being barred, just because he has won every bass prize up to date. Superb in quality, efficient in strength, perfect in purity, is Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. Mrs. WoolTfrton Hurt. Mrs. Dr. A. B. Woolverton was hurt at her home at 1109 Van Buren street last evening. She was standing near the wall of an addition that is being built when a ladder fell striking her on the head.

THE 3fUaO U v i J By our first Aubreybeardslist. BASE BALL IN TOPEKA. The League Team Defeated the V. Jtl. C. A. Narrowly Another Game Today. Manager Mote's base ball team made its first appearance on the diamond in a match game yesterday. It was a bad day for ball, and while the Moteneers de feated the Y. M. C. A. by the score of 10 to 9, the debut did not create any great enthusiasm. The Topeka team has had tima to practice but very little, while the Y. M. C. A. ha3 been playing ball for a month. It would be unjust to criticise the team on the strength of yesterday's game. There are some good players among Mote's men and some bad ones. The bad ones will be sifted out as rapidly as pos sible. At the end of the fifth inning the score was 9 to 3 in favor of the Y. M. C. A. Only seven innings were played, but in the last two the Topeka team made seven runs. The teams lined up this way: Topeka Brant lb, Dunn 2b, Bsaq. champ p and If, True c and cl, Cogiizar cf, Connor p, Gilday 3b, Boylan ss, Con. lin rt and c, Mayer p, Bryant p. Y. M. C A Sullivan cf, Close 3b, Barnes 2b, McKibbeu ss, Gugel rf and p, Crockett c, Ely If, Van HoolTlb, Dawaoa rf, Switzer p. Today'it Game. This afternoon the Topeka league team is playing a match game with a nine from the Topeka Athletic association. The athletic boys are ex pected to put up a superior game, and the leaguers are expected to do better than they did yesterday. The climatic conditions are more favorable, and alto gether a good gama is likely. The ath letic club will arrange itself in this wise: Hindmarsh, pitcher and fielder; Pound, catcher and fielder; Scott, first base; McCabe, second base; Doncyaon, third base; Black, short stop; Alden, fielder aud pitcher; Bronson, fielder and pitcher; Broderson, fielder and catcher. Next Monday the "Topeka Locals," colored, will play the league team, and the season opens the following Thurs day with a series of games with Leaven worth. Luscious cake, palatable biscuit and toothsome cookies are insured by using Dr. Price's Baking Powder. SELLING OLD CLOTHES. The Santa Fe Disposing of the Accumu lated Unclaimed Baggage.

No one has yet made a valuable ourchase. When they are opened it is found that they contain a collection of old clothes. A great many people came in from the country to attend the sale and there were not a few women among the bidders. RUSSIA MEANS BUSINESS. Japan Forced to Yield by Orders of Mob ilization of Troops. Loxdox, May 11. A dispatch from St. Petersburg states that up to Sun day it was believed that Japan would refuse to give up Port Arthur. Orders were given to mobilize 110,000 troops in the Irkutsk and Tomsk districts and a credit of 20,000,000 roubles was opened.

The occa sion was the presence of the commercial travelers in Topeka, and the hotel was full of them. No pains were spared to mike the occasion a happy one, and commercial men who know more about hotels than anybody elae, pronounced the effect superb. Watson's orchestra played with out intermission during the diuner hour. Two little girls, Gertrude Hankla and Mary Dallas Gage, gave roses to each guest as he entered, the lady guests be ing specially favored with two La France roses. The dining room was decorated with palms in the center of each table and a large vase of roses. The chandeliers were decorated in pink and pale blue. The effect was charming.

Surprising; Combinations of Color New Collars, CnfTe and. Xoekties Tit Infinite Variety or New Hat and JBonnets. New York, May 9. Sleeves continue to cut a Tery large figure, literally and metaphorically, in the fashionable world, and while a few modistes really try to reduce their size others again inflate them to the utmost. Some of them are actually stuffed with horsehair or some Other stiff materiaL There are some with drooping puffs, with caps at the top made very stiff and calculated to hold down the gathers. One pretty sleeve was made with three shirred puffs, the npper one being quite deep, and over this a scalloped cap, jnst the size of the arm. The fore part of the 6leeve had a double puffing and a little NEW SLEEVES AND VEST. fancy braiding in silver, like that on the caps. The lighter the material the fuller the sleeve is made. One fancy sleeve to a light taffeta gown was made in one wide balloon puff, and this was raised in three festoons under narrow velvet ribbon, with three flat rosettes at the junction of the silk with the perfo rated crepon sleeve. On the top was a full bow with bat wingj ends. 1 think I never saw snch surprising combinations of color as there are now. Salmon and old rose are put with the most briliant purple, and purple and old gold, maize and green are seen every where. Bine and prune, blue and pink, scarlet, and green are all seen this sea son. Yon can put green and scarlet to gether, too, if you like, and it goes. Pale blue and palo rose pink are pretty to gether, and scarlet and dark blue. So are crimson and French gray. I saw some small fancy capes in one place. The foundation was silk, and upon that were three or four narrow ruf fles of black lace. The yoke and plastron in front were one mass of garish gilt tinsel, with rows of silver and copper spangles set along the center of the pat terns. Some small velvet capes had col lars made of white lace cut in deep van dyke points, the pattern in the lace be ing outlined with silver and gilt span gles. The effect was not fine, but many persons appeared to admire it. I noticed one very neat and genteel cape. It was of fine black broadcloth and had a sec ond cape over it which fastened under the collar and could be removed if nec essary. The collar turned down and was bound with silk braid. The adjustable collar was slashed in the middle of the back, and that and the lower part had three rows of black silk braid each, sew ed on by hand. The rest was tailor fin ished. Some of these little capes are so wide and lined so stiffly that they stand out far wider than the sleeves. One that was made in this manner was short and extremely wide. In the godet hollows were set fussy little rosettes. The collar Was made of a series of loops of ribbon, and there were two loops with piquets of heavy jet. This cape was of leather col ored cloth, and the ribbon was of the same shade. The new collars and cuffs for summer wear are made of white linen and are deep and have square corners. Some of the collars have one ruffle of lace or em broidery around the edge, and others have a ruffle in the middle. Many are of striped gingham percale or pique, in bright stripes. I have seen none simply figured. These collars and cuffs are for NEW BONNETS. mountain, seaside and morning summer wear. A friend of mine bought today a duck suit of dark blue with pinhead points of white. With this she will wear blue and white striped collars and cuffs, and a white embroidered muslin neck tie, and a white sailor hat with blue and white striped ribbon and a blue wing. Hats and bonnets fill my waking hours with anxious thought. They are simply indescribable. High, wide flya way effects are seen. Viking, swallow and bat wing fancies, Dutch bonnets, alsatian bows, with flat tops, bushels of flowers of every conceivable kind, but terflies of spangled gauze and enormous picture hats of every period are worn with sublime indifference. Still the hat each one wears appears to be exactly the kind of hat that one ought to wear. Olive Harper. French Names. French boys are often called after their godmothers. The late M.

He Will Dispose of Four Horses at Auc tion Next Weok. in a few days Chief Wilkerson will have a difficult feat to perform even for a police officer. Almost anyone can sell an article that's in demand,but it takes a genius to dispose of something that is a drug on the market. Chief WilKerson bus not fully determined whether he is a genius or not He will uudertake to sell four horses that are "eating j tneir neads on in tne city pound, iney are just common horses of the plug va riety, and if the chief sells them he will consider himself as great a horseman as his predecessor, Hank Lindsey. The horses were picked up in a bunch in the western part ol town a week ago and no body has claimed them yet. Under the city ordinances the horses must be sold at the expiration of ten days. The ani mals are described as one gray mare, one small black pony, one iron gray colt and a brown yearling. The cook should examine carefully the label of the baking powder and see that she is not imposed upon. If the grocer sends anything but the Royal, send it back, as one cook did five times until she got the Royal. The only safe way is for the cook to have the finest things to work with, and the Royal is not only the finest but the most economical to use because it goes so much further. HAS A BAD TEMPER.

Sunday A HEPOKTER'S STORY In my early days I was a reporter on The Clarion CalL Only a "dislike to own my self beaten and the occasional fascination which compensated for the more frequent discomfort kept me in the office. But all this was before the day I was sent to inter view the wife and daughter of the man who had just disturbed Bociety by disap pearing from it. Mr. Grey, so it had been learned from the notices concerning his disappearance, had one evening after dinner gone out foi a stroll around the block. He had nevet come back. His family was of courst prostrated after the manner of families on such sad occasions. After giving him time to come back, sending to his clubs; his office and the houses of his friends his wife had finally told his lawyers, and sys tematic search was begun. The family had retired from public life and denied themselves to every one. Consequently my chances for an interview with Mrs. Grey did not seem hopeful, but the city editor's air of granting me the opportuni ty I had been longing for made me loath to admit my fears. I took the train for the Greys' they lived a little way out of town and prepar ed myself to meet the servants' acorn and the other attendant evils of such an as signment. The coach was an ordinary one, and there were several laboring men in it, evidently traveling to some suburb where they were to work upon the roads, for they carried pickaxes and shovels. There sat opposite me and slightly for- ward a peculiar type of man to whom 1 found my gaze wandering every few min- utes. His iron gray hair was thick and very unevenly cut. His face was covered with a subtle growth of gray beard. He looked unwashed, unkempt and generally unpleasant. His blue overalls were stained with red clay, and his red flannel shirt opened at the front in a way that revealed anything but a beautiful neck, burned and blistered. But the man's twitching lips and convulsive movements of the jaws at tracted my attention, and his deep set, steely blue eyes that burned in cavernous sockets fascinated me. He did not talk to the other men, but sat with his head sunk upon his breast, only occasionally raising it to cast a look about him. He, with the other laborers, left the train at Forestville, where the Greys lived, and I soon saw them, under the direction of a foreman, assigned to make various road repairs. Of course Mrs. Grey would not see me. I sat in the library while the servant took my card to her, for there were other callers in the drawing room. Over the mantel hung a picture, presumably Mrs. Grey, done in oil. She was as beautiful as a cameo and as hard. Opposite her was the portrait of a clean shaven man, with fins iron gray hair brushed off his forehead a more plebeian cast of countenance, but strong and interesting. The face seemed familiar. I stared at it until the servant returned. "Mrs. .Grey is sorry, miss, but she can see no one, and has nothing to say for pub lication." "Very well," said I. Then I rose to go. "Is that Mr. Grey?" 1 asked, nodding toward the picture. "Yes, miss," was the reply, and sudden ly it flashed upon me where I had seen those deep set, curiously shaped, keen blue eyes. My heart leaped almost into my mouth. I took one long look at the por trait and left the house. The men were repairing the road, and I noticed one of the workmen whose face startled me. The resemblance to the por trait I had seen of Mr. Grey was remarka ble. He worked with a fierce delight in the severe labor. His face seemed more mad than ever, with the exultation of mo tion and strength deepening the gleam in his eyes. There was a telegraph office at the end of the street. I sent a message to the city editor. "Send a man to Forestville at once," was my command. Then while I paced the street and walked about the square I reflected upon the welcome I would receive if I had made a mistake. Every minute I became more and more convinced that I had made the most colos sal blunder on record. By the time Mr. Ellington Ellsworth, the only man who happened to be available when my tele gram was received, had arrived I was near ly hystericaL I told Mr. Ellsworth my theory, and he was properly skeptical. He discouraged me thoroughly in about two minutes, but I suddenly rallied. "Well," I remarked, taking command, "I want you to keep that man in sight. I shall go to town and get his lawyer.' Find out what train they go in on, and I'll meet you. Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to act tipon that suggestion, but he finally consented to do so. I went in, summoned Mr. Grey's lawyer and with him met the working men's train. Mr. Ellsworth, looking bored and unhappy, got out and pointed out our suspected "disappearance" to his lawyer. My heart stood in my mouth. Was I to be forever disgraced or made famous forever? "Mr. Grey," said the lawyer, stepping forward, "what docs this mean?" And when I saw the man start wildly I knew that I was not forever disgraced. "Well," said the city editor jovially, "what did they say?" "They didn't say anything. They didn't see me." "So you didn't get the interview?" said the city editor shortly. "No," I replied meekly, "but I found' the missing man." And now, such is the irony of fate, the city editor, instead of letting me rest on my laurels, is always exhorting me to live up to the reputation I made in the Grey case, when I found the missing man, learned how overwork had worn out his brain, and how in his half crazed condi tion he wandered away and returned to his original occupation in life, to the hor ror of his wife with the cameolike face. If only I had never been so brilliant! Ex change. John Paul Jones Name. The son of John Paul, a poor Scotch gardener, John Paul Jones was born at Arbigland, in Kirkcudbrightshire, on July 6, 1747. The reasons for his adoption of the name of Jones have never been ex plained. That he did sot wish to sink his. identity is shown by his retention of his- original name. In his earlier career he signed himself John Paul Jones. After-, ward he signed himself "J. Paul Jones," but when ha became the hero of Paris and Versailles and Europe resounded with his fame his cards read simply, "Paul Jones." This gradual emancipation from the self made man's fondness for titles and digni ties ia strikingly shown in his will, where, after- a lifelong struggle for honors and precedence, during which he contended for them in a manner at once fierce and childish, on the day of his death he describ ed himself only as "John Paul Jones, a I citizen of the United States."

The men all think a great He is very strict in his band deal of him. with them but they recognize hia acknowledged ability, and one of them who had been with Gilmore for four years and joined Sousa after Gilmore died, said last night that Sousa is the greater band leader. Sousa is perfectly composed and the same under all circumstances. He can even make a very graceful speech and never hesitates. After the performance last evening the members of Marshall's baud invited the Sousa band to their rooms where they had a little feast and a few friends to meet them. County Attorney Harry Safford made a few well chosen remarks of welcome to Mr. Sousa and he re sponded. He told a little anecdote about a law yer who was sorry for his client and hoped no one would make the mistake of thinking ha meant Mr. Safford. It was simply a well worded little speech of thanks, but it left Mr. Safford in a rather uncertain light "And, boys," he said, addressing the members of his own band, "I want you to remember this, and when Marshall's band comes to New York they must have the best we can give them." And the "boys" said they would. It was long Mr. Sousa's ambition when he was the director of the United States Marine band to have a thorougly nation al band. 'I tried for twelve years," he said, "to get congress to make an ap propriation to support one that America might be proud of, but it seemed impossible. I had a large acquaintance with congress and with the president but I was never able to do any thing with the idea. They did not like the notion of the entire country support ing a big band for Washington alone. The question of national pride did not enter their heads. The government does not pay enough for good musicians. 1 was glad of the opportunity to leave and have a band that I could do with as I pleased." Mr, Sousa spends weeks and months on his marches, and never hears one of them even hummed until he has it en tirely thought out. After he has it all complete in his mind he writes it, plays it and then arranges it. In a few weeks the entire country is playing it. He is working on a new one now, but nothing could get him to divulge the air or even the name of it until it will be ready for the public some time during the sum mer. Sousa's band has never been in Europe. We have had an offer for a European tour," he stid, "but the price offered is 300 per week less than we want, and we wiil not go. Of course we will be at Paris in 1900." Sousa's marches have captured the world. "I received a letter the other day from a bandmaster in lions Kong," he said, telling me that the 'Cadets' and the 'Washington Post' were very popular there, and saying that if I would send him the 'Directorate' he would pay me well I sent it to him, with my compli ments." There is another thing about Sousa that wiil commend him to the ladies, and that is his evident affection for his wife. Just before the concert vesterday afternoon he walked into his dressing room and picked up several letters. A particularly bulky one was from his wife. It was time for the curtain to go up, but he sat down on a trunk and held the concert nearly fifteen minutes while he went through twenty pages or more with evident delight. A man that bouaa was particularly glad to meet in Topeka was Fred Scott of the Santa Fe treasurer's office. Nine teen years ago Mr. Scott was a part own er and manager of the Chestnut Street theater in Phildelphia. It has already been stated that McKee Rankin, who played here this winter, was his leading man. Sousa played a violin in the or chestra, for which he received a salary of $20 a week. Sousa is now headed for Canada and his tour will end June 15, when his sum mer engagement at Manhattan Beach begins. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the chivalrous Knight of modern women. Without stain of adulteration, the purest and best. ALL LIKED SOUSA. His First Concert Here Was Popular In Every Senas. It has been said of Sousa that in addi tion to being the greatest march com poser and band master in the world he is also the most graceful, and the large audience that saw him wield his pearl inlaid and gold tipped baton over his splendid band last night, realized it. When he swung his arms at full length to the enlivening strains of his Wash ington Post march it added much to the general grace of the band. It was an enraptured audience. The overture from "Tannhauser" was superb, but most people think WTagner horrid. There was a demand for another and then another one and when the band started on the opening chords of "The Washington Post March" the audience was delighted and began cheering again before it was hardly started. It was so with every piece that the band played and the pastoral fantasie, "A Shepherd's Life in the Alps" was particularly fetching. Sousa also played his latest march "The Directorate" and responded with "The High School Cadets." Sousa has for his marches that have been made so famous on the 6treet a concert arrangement which is different and makes them almost new again and thoroughly ex pressive. The finest thing Sousa played yesterday was Siegfried's death from "The Gotterdamerung." It was the second number in the afterneon. There is none of the brass band crash and bang about Sousa's concerts. They are perfect music. Jeau Moeremans, who holds the world's medal, played a saxophone solo in the afternoon that was heartily received. Miss Marie Barnard, the soprano, pos sesses a good, strong, musical, well-cultivated voice, and the audience liked her. In the afternoon she responded with "Ben Bolt." Miss Currie Duke, the violinist, is certainly one of the best ever heard in Topeka. She is the daughter of Basil Duke, the Confederate general. Two very original ideas of Sousa's are "Good Bye," which he played in the after noon, and "The Band Came Back," which he gave in the evening. In both of them the band appears and disappears on the stage and both are full of popular airs. A good many Topeka people know Arthur Pryor, the world's best trombon ist, and he received a hearty welcome in his original solo last night. Mr. Pryor lives in St. Joseph and was formerly with Gilmore. The concert as a whole was pro nounced better than Gilmore's. Perseverance is the gattling gun of success. By its aid Dr. Price's Baking Powder sweeps aside competition and retains its 40-year standard of supre macy. SUNDAY AT THE CHURCHES.

A Girl In the Patrol Wagon Who Wanted to Save Her Reputation. Alice Henderson is the pretty name of a' colored girl who isn't quite so pretty who was in the police court today. Alice is idot a familiar face in court, but unfortu nately she is interested in a garden. Some neighbors have, or claim to have, some interest in the garden, but Alice says that their liens are subsequent and in ferior to her s. The possession of the earden became a matter of such compli cation that only the trial will reveal just exactly what was done, for the case was continued today. When the Henderson woman was com ing over from North Topeka in the patrol wagon, she passed a friend on the bridge. "What's yo doin sitlin' up dere, chile: she asked. "Does yo want to ruin yo reputation? Git down out of sight, gall' Alice thought this was a good idea and she lay down flat in the bottom of the patrol wagon so that people couldn't see her. The only trouble was that her feet extended out beyond the end of the wagon. But they looked as much like men's feet as a woman's, and folks thought it was just a case of drunk.
