ARRESTS MADE. ,3Ienibers of the Medical College Faculty Are Now Under Bond and a Grand Jury IS TO BE ASKED FOR Which It Is Expected Judge Hazen will Grant. The A. 0. U. V. is Backing Up the Prosecution. MITCHELL INVOLVED. Curiously Mixed Up Story About the City Physician Which Needs. Unraveling1 Judge and Jury. Dr. J. E. Minney, Dr. M. R Mitchell, Dr. C. H. McCIintock are all under arrest and under bond to appear in the district court from day to day until they can be tried on a charge of "Knowingly receiv ing stolen bodies." The sme warrant on which these doctors were arrested also called for the arrest of 8. A. Johnson, the janitor of the college, who is already under arrest charged with "grave robbing" which is only a misdemeanor under the law. The warrant for the arrest of these doctors was issued yesterday aftprnoon, as announced in yesterday's Journal, and Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Minney were served with the papers last night. Dr. McCIintock was not in Kansas City, as reported in the morning paper, but was at his home in North Topeka, and he went to the sheriff's office early this morning and gave bond. Janitor Johnson has not yet been ar rested on the warrant from the district court, but Dr. Minney this morning told Deputy Sheriff Dan Jones that Johnson is now in the country, but will come to Topeka tomorrow morning and give bond. As Johnsou is already under bond in Justice Furry's court the officers of the district court have not made any ex traordinary eff ort3 to find him. Judge Hazen placed the bond of the doctors at $300 each and they have given the bonds among themselves as much as possible. Dr. J. E. Kinney's bondsman is his Ben-in law, R M. Fulton. Dr. Clarence AicClintock's bondsman is Dr. J. E. Min ney. Dr. R. M. Mitchell's bondsman is Dr. S. G. Stewart. A new bond was given by Janitor Johnson in Justice Furry's court and it has been sig-hed by Dr. S. G. Stewart and Robert Forbes, a Silver Lake farmer. Grand Master Workman Wallace of Kingman came to Topeka to attend the A. O. U. W. meeting last night and he made the principal address of the even ing. Mr. Wallace said to a State Jour nal reporter today: '1 he members of the order here have done just the right thing in this matter. The outrages should be probed to the bottom, and 1 am satisfied that they have gone at it in a way that will bring about the desired result. At the meeting last night Mr.' Dake was present and I wa3 sorry he had to be there and listen to the talk which amounted to bringing the lascerated body of his wife out of the grave again. This thing must be followed up and the guilty parlies punished." In tho lodge room the master work man said that if a member of the order is found to be implicated in the grave rob bing he must be put out of the order at once. A committee on prosecution was ap pointed to represent the Workmen, and this committee is empowered to use all the funds necessary to carry on the pros ecution. The expense is to be Dro-rated among the members. The members of tiie prosecuting committee are: Lodge No. 3, Joseph Rickard: No, 11, John T. Chaney; No. 20, J. A. Hearick; No. 188, Wm. Butler; No. 244, Calvin Brewer No. 280, J. W. Gibbons; No. 331, H. L. Sherburne; No. 299, H. I,. Fletcher. Deputy County Attorney McCabe last evening prepared a petition for a grand jury, which was circulated for signatures at the meeting of the A. O. L". W. lodcea at the corner of Sixth and Quincy streets last night. When the matter of calling a grand jury was presented to Judge Hazen yes terday he called attention to tne law, which requires a petition of 100 names, to be presented twelve days before the opening of the term of court, before a grand jury can be called. At the A. O. U. W. meeting last night Judge Hazen was criticised because some of the members thought he was in Bisting the grand jury could not be convened until the next term of court. The district court is now in session and the lawyers who are working upon this case are of the opinion that if the peti tion is presented to Judge Hazen Mon day he will issue the call for the grand jury to be convened at the expiration of the required twelve days, which would be before the close of the present term of court. Dr. C. S. McCIintock who was this morning placed under arrest by the offi cers of the district court was seen by a State Journal reporter. Dr. McClintock said: "I have no knowledge of where these bodies came from and I did not know there were three bodies at the college until I read about it in the papers. This year I have not beau demonstrator as I was last year, but have instead been Bimply giving lectures before the class in anatomy. When I learned that one of the bodies found in the college was tak en from the Catholic cemetery I really became frightened. I can't imagine who could have been bo foolish as to have taken a body from a Catholic ceme tery knowing that the members of that charch consider their cemeteries consecrated ground. It is not that it was a much greater crime to steal bodies from there than the other cemeteries but everyone knows what power the Catholic church is and its members always stand together. I will do all in my power to bring the guilty persona to justice." County Attorney Safford says the case against Janitor Johuson, which is now pending in Justice Furry's court, will be dropped as the charge of grave robbing is simply a misdemeanor and will be tried on the same basis as the members of the college faculty who are now un der arrest. Johnson is a Mason, and it is said that at a meeting ofthe Silver Lake lodge, of which he is a member, the lodse voted to assist in Johnson's defensa The Rochester Cemetery association held a meeting today in North Topeka and offered a reward of $100 lor the con viction and punishment of the person or persons who purchased the two bodies which were stolen from Rochester ceme tery. The association also adopted some reso lutions, which are printed in auother part of this paper. The defense which it is said will be made by the Medical college people and the one which the county attorney ex pects is that used by medical schools in the east with success. This is that the school had a contract with an unknown person to furnish it with bodies. That none of the faculty knew him, or wanted to know him. That at certain times the doors of the build ing are left unlocked aud money is left at a prearranged place for the ghoul. No one sees him come or go, and uo one tries to find out who he is. Ann Arbor is said to conduct its busi ness this way, and to have escaped pun ishment on different occasions by this process. BR. MITCHELL'S STORY. Say That Scott Carr Totcl Him Somebody Off-red HI in $5. Dr. M. R Mitchell, when seen by a State Journal reporter today, said: 'This story about my having offered Scott Carr $5 to go to Rochester ceme tery Sunday night is absolutely false. and this morning Carr came to my office himself and said the story was false as far as it referred to me. "Carr told me he was on Kansas avenue in North Topeka Sunday evening about dusk when a man who he thought was I approached him when he was standing on the pavement some place between Arnold's and Lacey'a drug stores and asked him if ho wanted a job. He said he replied ye3, that he gener ally wanted a job when there was money in it. He said this man- said 'Don't you want to go out to Rochester cemetery and make $5?' He says he then said 'Yes, I guess so. I always want to make a dollar when I can.' The man then stepped one side or into some store and came back in a minute or two and said he guessed he would not need him. "Carr said he thought it was I and thought that 1 wanted him to haul a body out to Rochester for burial and had no other thought. In my office this morn ing however, he said positively that he was satisfied that it was some one else, and was not I. "Now, as far as I am concerned in this matter, I want to say that I was not in North Topeka at that time. "Carr says thi3 happened about dusk, which would be about 6 o'clock. 1 was at my office here in the city building from shortly after 4 until almost 7 when I went out on Lane street to the home of Mr. Glasgow the furniture man and made a call. Then I went directly home and as my wife knows, I got home be tween 8 and 9 o'clock and was not out again during the night." What Scott Carr Says. Scott Carr was seen this afternoon and he now says positively that Dr. Mitchell was the man who proposed to give him a job in going to Rochester cemetery last Sunday night. He said to a North To peka business man, whose name can be produced if necessary, "There is no U3e milking any more bones about it, Dr. Mitchell was the man." This morning Mayor Fellows request ed Dr. Mitchell as city physician to bring Scott Carr to his (the mayor's) of fice and clear up the story told on the street by "Big George" Ready about Dr. Mitchell having offered Carr money to go to Rochester cemetery Sunday night. Commissioner of Elections R B. Mc Master, Dr. Mitchell and Mayor Fellows wore all present when Carr appeared in the mayor's office this morning. Before these three gentlemen Carr told almost the same story as told in Dr. Mitchell's interview. This afternoon, however, when a Jour nal reporter saw Dr. Mitchell and R B, McMasters together in the latter's of fice, these two gentlemen agreed that what Carr did say this morning, was: "1 thought at that time that Dr. Mitchell was the man." When asked if he would go into court and swear that Dr. Mitchell was the man he said: "1 will swear that I thought Dr. Mitchell was the man. and I thought I knew Dr. Mitchell when I saw him." Carr would not say positively that Dr. Mitchell was not the man. Carr when seen today, exhibited his hands and they showed plainly that they had not been recently cut with glass and the police are still looking for the man who cut his hands on the broken glass in Mrs. Van Fleet's coffin. UK. MINNEY'S STATEMENT. Never Wm Any "Strike" In tho Dlsieot illS Clas at the College. Dr. J. E. Minney, who arrived in Topeka late yesterday afternoon from Paxico, was seen by a Journal reporter about the alleged confession of one of the students which was printed in yesterday's paper. Dr. Minney said: ''It is as false as sin. There was trouble in the class in chemistry but none in the class in the dissecting room. There was no dissecting going on at that time. This 'strike,' as it ii called, was only among chemical students. They claimed that too much was requested of them." Stomach Pump on Uncle Sam.

Why It Was That Simpson Wanted the Documents Which Chester Long Had Ex pected to Fall Heir To. LAW PROVIDES FOR IT. Other Members, However, Sur render Their Rights. Washington News of General Interest in Kansas. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Dec. 14. It appears now that Jerry SimpBon's order to turn over the documents to his credit to some man in Washington, whose name can not be learned, was in accordance with a reso lution passed by the laBt congress. That resolution was that all the documents is sued up to the day of meeting of this congress should be turned over to the outgoing congressman. Many other congressmen did just as Jerry Simpson did, but he was bo pecul iarly and particularly anxious that Rep resentative Long Bhould not get posses sion of them that he telegraphed to have them turned over to a man here, whom ho designated. The documents are of various kinds, and include books, some of them valuable, and all the pamphlets and papers such as congressmen usually send out. Mr. Long, of course, has had many re quests for public documents, but on ac count of this action of Mr. Simpson he has been unable to furnish any. Mr. Simpson himself can not send the documents out, as his congressional frank of course has expired, and the supposi tion is that, in accordance with his usual thrift, he will sell them to book stores here in the city. This is frequently done. In strong contrast to this was the act ion of Congressman Harris who turned over all documents and books to his credit to Congressman Blue. There was a large list of valuable reports and other public papers yet to the credit of Mr. Harris and he put these at the disposal of Mr. Blue. In the demands or requests made upon congressmen for reports and public doc uments many times the person making tha request appear to be influenced only by a desire to get something for noth ing. Lists are made out for books and pamphlets which could be of no earthly use to the man asking forthenv Many expect to provide themselves with a full fledged library gratis. One congress man received a request not long ago to fill out a list of just 133 books. The applicant had undoubtedly simply gone through the list of books at the dis posal of congressmen and had put them all down. Of course these books do not coat con gressmen anything, but it is an endless bother. The bother is not minded when a constituent really wants a book, but when it is apparent that things are asked for because they cost nothing, it seems a useless worry to put on congressmen. Applications by the hundreds for seeds are also coming in to the different members, and of course these cannot be filled because the appropriation for this purpose was discontinued at the last ses sion. In these communications there is the same reckless prodigality in requests. Some people ask for seeds of eveiy con ceivable and catalogued variety of plant as if they expected to start a greenhouse or botanical garden. MR, LONG PLEASED That He Has a Place on the Important Committee of Claims and Accounts. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Dec 14. The politi cians are pointing out the peculiarity in the make up of the committee on claims and accounts of which Mr. Long, of Kan sas, is made a member. Of all the Re publicans on the committee as announced by Speaker Reed, every one was a Hen derson man except O'Dell of New York. Aldrich, of Illinois, McCall, of Mississip pi, Tracy, of Missouri, and Long, of Kan sas, were all Henderson men in the or ganization of the house. It is hinted that Speaker Reed is trying on his com mittees to repair the ill feeling engend ered against the east and many of his followers by the McDonald combine. Mr. Long was at first not disposed to think his appointment amounted to much but since he was informed that it was an important committee which had supervision of all the accounts of the ser geant at arms and chief clerk he is now well pleased with the place. THE KANSAS CITY POSTOFFICE. Concressman Miller Will Prevent the Proposed Consolidation. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Dec. 14. Representa tive Miller of the First Kansas district says tho attempt of Representative Tars ney to have the postoffices of Kansas City, Ka&, and Kansas City, Mo., united will have no eff ect on his bill for a new postoffice building at Kansas City, Kas., which asks an appropriation of $200,000. The reason it will have no effect is be cause no such consolidation will take place he says. The regulation which would make a consolidation possible is the new civil service rule which was promulgated some few weeks ago, It reads: "And, whenever, by order of the post master general, any postoffice shall be consolidated with and made a part of another postoffice where free delivery is established, all the employees -of the office thus consolidated, whose names ap pear on the rester of said office, approved by the postoffice department and includ ing the postmaster thereof, shall from the date of said order be employees of said free delivery office, and the person holding on the date of said order the po sition of postmaster at the office thus consolidated with said free delivery of fice may be assigned to any position therein and given any appropriate des ignation under the classification act, which the postmaster general may direct." The postmaster general possesses the authority under the law to consolidate local offices whenever in his judgment the service may thereby be improved. By virtue of the" new order the post master or minor employes of such an office, when attached to a free delivery office, are classified under the- civil ser vice rules; their official designation is changed to fit the grade of salary and responsibility superintendent, assistant, or clerk, as the case may be and ap pointments, transfers, removals, etc.. are made under the same regulations that govern generally in the classified postal service. It is the plan virtually to divide the country into districts of each of which one of the principal first-class offices shall be the center, with the minor offices of each of the present classes subject to its jurisdiction. It was under this rule, which was es pecially intended to fit the case of New York and Brooklyn, Representative Tars ney has been seeking to have two Kansas City postoffices combined, This Mr. Miller says he has no fear whatever will be done. He said. "I have been to see the postmaster general about the matter and he assures me that it will not be done and he has not had any intention of doing so. "So unless the postmaster general doesn't know his own business there will nothing come of all this talk. "Furthermore, it would not be a good thing for Kansas City to have it done. The only possible way it could benefit Kansas City, Ma, would be in the matter of a few extra clerks in the postoffice and a larger number of carriers connect ed with the office. "On the other hand, if such a combi nation was made it would result in the loss of thousands of dollars to the mer chants of Kansas City. There has always been a bitter feeling, as we know, of Kansas people toward Kansas City, Ma, because it took so much from Kansas and gave nothing in return. And if the postoffice of Kansas City, Kan,, was taken away and put in Kansas City, Ma, the business men of the former place would be almost sure to retaliate. They would say, 'We can buy our goods in Chicago just as well as in Kansas City, Ma,' and they would do it "No, if such a thing were done, and I have not the least idea it will be, Kan sas City, Mo., would lose a great deal more than it would gain. It couldn't afford to do it." TO PUT THE DUTY BACK. Congressman Brodflrick'l Hill In Relation to Mexican Cattle. From the State Journal's SpeSlal Correspondent. Washington, Dec. 14. Air, Broderick has a bill in the house to put the duty back on Mexican cattle which was taken off by the Wilson bill. The present sched ule is ad valorem and makes the tax about $2 a bead. He proposes to make the duty $10 a head. Mr. Broderick says hd is not convinced harifca necessity of keeping Mexican caul a out of the coun try is past. He says there is always dan ger of their bringing fever in except in the winter and a higher tax will restrict their importation. He answers the declaration that Kan sas feeders want these cattle brought in to help consume the surplus corn crop by saying it is his understanding that the cattle cannot be fed corn until they have been in the country a year or two any how. They have to get acclimated. He believes that keeping these low grade cattle out will incite stock raisers to breed a better class of rattle. Another bill of Mr.Broderick's already in the house is one to punish the shoot ing at railroad trains or throwing of missiles at them in the Indian Territory. It has been found that by an omission in the United States statutes such offenses in the Indian Territory cannot now be be punished. Such laws are on all the state statute books and in the United States laws governing the territories with the exception of the Indian Terri tory. Mr. Broderick's attention was called to this fact by the Santa Fe aud Rock Island attorneys in the Indian Ter rify. At their request he introduced the bill at the last session, but told them there was no chance to get it through, because it was too late in the session. FOKMEKLY OF KANSAS. Air.

SUIT IS JBR0UG11T For Damages Against tha Medical Col lego Students. Lawyers J. G. Waters and F. C. Downey are at work this afternoon on the civ il damage cases against the members of the faculty and tha students of the Kansas- Medical college which they expect to file before tha clerk of the dis tric court closes his office this evening. It has not been definitely decided, but it is possible that the names of a few of the trustees of the college, including Judge A. H. Horton, will be eliminated from the list of defendants in these suits as the prosecutors say they understand these gentlemen have not been actively connected with the management of the institution. This list of the students of the college was furnished at a late hour this afternoon by the college secretary, Dr. W. E. McVey, and each student will be made a party to the damage suits, al though it is possible that the names of some of them will be dropped later. The names of but fifty-one students are included in this list and the prose cuting attorneys think it is strange as the members of the faculty have from the first of this trouble represented that they had between sixty and sixty-five stu dents. The following are the names of the students: George Allen, W. D. Groff, Ulia Pat neaude, Wm. Dio McPhee; Mrs. Anna Delano, Mrs. V. Nichols, Miss Berta Dillon, Miss Ada Harwood, Guy Chidesler, at Christ hospital; Chas. C. Btillman, A. W. Vaniman. Violet E. Metger, F. H. Martin, Sarah E. Mclntyre, John L. Moorhead, Robert E.

ONE MORE BODY FOUND it Is That' of a 3fu and lla Been Ex liunie (1 Many Weeks. 3 p.m. The remains of another body have been found at the Medical college. It was reported ithat a skeleton had been found in one of the closets adjoining the dissecting room, but Officer Frank Parsalls, on making an investiga tion, found that it was a body which had been skinned and worked on. The flesh was black from being exposed so long. The officer says he thinks the body that of a man from its size. It stands against the wall of the closet partly held up by a box. The entrails have been removed, and probably all work was done which could be before the body became too old. WANTS S 5,000. A Wife Ask That or a College For Snatching? Her Husband's Body. St. Joe, Dec, 14. Fannie Tinsley to day brought suit for $25,000 damages against the Central Medical college for having caused the body of her husband, T. J. Tinsley, to be removed from his grave and used as a subject for dissection in the college a year ago. SLOW TO TOUCH IT. The Novels Case to Drag Over Into An other Term. Chief Wilkerson and Sheriff Burdge returned at noon from their week's search for Tony Smith and wife, witnesses in the Nevels case. They followed them from Kansas City to Sl Louis, but did not find them on account of lack of time. County Attorney Safford has notified Judge Hazen that he will ask for a con tinuance for the term when the case i3 called Monday in the district court. This will probably be granted, and the trial will not come up until next term. Lone white women should know enough not to get murdered. It's too much trouble to punish the murderers, especially when murder is made a political issue. A. P. SUESSANTA FE. The A. P. Brings Suit Against New Santa Fe totlie Kxtent ot'$S,750,000. New York, Dec 14. The bondhold ers' committee of the Atlantic Pocific railroad has begun suit in the New York supreme court against the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe railroad, the members of the joint executive and organiza tion committee, the New York Guaranty and Indemnity company, the Uaiou Trust company aud the Mercan tile Trust company, as depositories, and mortgagees of the committee as credi tors of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway company, to the extent of $3,750,000 on the Atchison guarantee on their bonds. The plaintiff claims that the Atchison reorganization is in ef fect a combination between the stock holders and bondholders to reorganize the property in their interests as stock holders as well as bondholders and to re instate existing securities in their order of priority, and that it cannot lawfully be done to the exclusion and rights of" the intermediate creditors. The complainant does not seek to prevent the completion of the reorganization or interfere in any way with tho rights or interests of the Atchison bondholders, but base3 its action on the principle that the stockholders of an insolvent debtor corporation can not be combined with any class of bondholders so arranged as to retain their interest in its property and assets in priority and to the exclu sion of the intermediate bona fide credit- SAVING ROBERT. Hundreds of Letters Begging the Agnostic to Repent Awaiting Him on His Return to New York City Today. HE SIMPLY SMILED. Said He Didn't See How He Could Do It and be Happy. Many of the Letters Are Tender and Some Are Abusive. New York, Dec. 14 Col. Robt G, Ingersoll fonnd a heavy mail from the Christian Endeavorers who have been praying for him in convention when he returned home from his western trip, and he said; "No, I have not been converted by their prayer.-1, I am glad to say, and there is no occasion for taking 'Before and After pictures of me. I want to finish my days without the consolation of a hell." "Did it annoy you to have the En deavorers take such a public interest tn your conversion?" "Dear me, no," said the colonel, "they meant it kindly and for my good. The only difference of opinion that we have is that I believe this world is natural and they believe it Is supernatural, some thing that was constructed by sleight of hand, by some one up in the clouds. That is all." "But what if you should be converted," suggested the reporter. "That would ba a dreadful misfortune and I should be unhappy all the rest of my life." "If you hid absolute faith in the Christian religion, would it make you unhappy." 'It certainly would. How could it ba otherwise. A man, intelligent, who is a Christian and who has an imagination could not help being unhappy. Just think of the hell it holds out. If he is a Christian he must believe that the people whom he knows and loves on earth are to be separated in death, and some are to go to hell, and some to heaven, and they are to stay there for ever. It would make me very unhappy to believe that." "Admitting the truth of the Christian religion. wouid not you wish to be con verted?"

Mr. Bajarci Refers to tiie American "Slllr Season' Etiglisli comments. London, Dec. 14. The long dispatches from New York on the Bayard incident have revived interest in the speeches at Boston, England, and Edinburgh. Mr. Bayard treats the whole matter lightly and said to a friend recently that he regarded it as the result oj a "silly season in America." The Saturday. Review says: "In its whole history the republic has sent us no representative better quaiilisd to chal lenge comparison' with the old world diplomats. "The suggestion that partisan rancor could descend to the level of endanger ing his tenure is painful to contemplate." Tho Saturday Review says: "Such vul gar impertinence as Senator Morgan's would certainly not be allowed in the house of commons. Does the United States wish for war and why? We have a right to demand reciprocity in friendly feelings." The National Observer discusses Sena tor Morgan and the general unfriendli ness of the United States and England, the disposition given in "Yankee bluster" and concludes with "distins". warning" to America that "she stands on tho same footing as other powers. Persistent un friendliness should be met in the same spirit and might have a wholesome in fluence in clearing the air." GOMPEKSELECTED.

Millions of Dollars Must be Raised for the Fund. Risking Death to Aid 350,000 Christian Armenians. Washington-, Deo. 14. The Ameri can Red Cross Society has decided to accept the duty of distributing the re lief funds for the Armenian sufferers, and has issued the following state ment: "Owing to the unanimous and urgent appeals from the friends of humanity, representing nearly all of the people of this country, the Ameri can National Red Cross has decided that it must accept the sacred trust of endeavoring to relieve starving Arme nians in Asia Minor. According to conservative estimates there are 350,000 utterly destitute people in that country who will have to be assisted six or eight months until the next harvest. Fully realizing the difficulties and dangers to be met, the Red Cross will start for Turkey as soon as sufficient funds are placed at its disposal, or g-aaraurtsd, to insure success. Funds roaylbe sent to Miss Clara Barton, president and treasurer of the Ameri can National Red Cross, Washington, D. C. Authorized agents to receive funds and materials will be published in a few days. The Red Cross also suggests that goods, grain and other materials may be sent by chartered steamer." The society has had this plan of re lief under consideration for some time, but it is stated was reluctant to assume the dangers and responsbilities in volved. Miss Barton feels that it will he the most extensive relief work ever undertaken. Letters and telegrams have come from all directions urging that the work be undertaken. The Rev. F. D. Greeni the writer on Turkish questions, the heads of mis sionary and relief bodies, editors of leading Christian papers, as well as public men and private individuals, have asked that the Red Cross assume the duties of distributing the funds. The information reaching the so ciety through missionary boards and other sources in Turkey, places the number of destitute between 350,000 and 00,000, mostly women and chil dren. Such widespread want. Miss Barton says, can be met only by re lief funds running into the millions. It is estimated that the cost of relief per capita will be much heavier than in the case of the Johnstown and Sea Island sufferers, owing to the inac cessibility of the sufferers. The Red Cross party, including Miss Barton, will leave immediately after being assured of a sufficient sum to carry forward the work. The start must be made at an early day, as it will take five weeks to get to the dis tressed district, and the demands of the suffering people are urgent. Worse Than the Most Vivid Reports. Constantinople, Dec 14. At the meeting of the ambassadors on Tues day last the reports received from Armenia at the different embassies were compared and thoroughly dis cussed, with the view of enabling the different representatives to compile full reports on the subject for the use of their governments. It is believed if the result of this conference is pub lished it will show an unparalleled state of affairs. The misery and dis tress in Armenia are said to be more severe than the most vivid reports have made out, and the number of people massacred is said to be greater than anybody here really believed.

Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: It has been a very quiet week, with out any disturbance. Prices of manu factured products slowly recede from the high watea mark of speculation and no material increase in demand is now expected until after the holidays, but there is general confidence that great activity will then appear and that works which have stopped a little earlier than usual will again be called into operation. The government crop report caused scarcely a ripple of interest, though indicating S, 400,000 bales less of cotton, and a larger acreage than had been expected of winter wheat. The great supplies of cotton brought over from previous years render it unimportant whether the yield of 1895 was 7,000,000 or 6,000,000 bales, except as affecting future planting, and the extensive organization of planters to keep back their cotton deprives small receipts of their natural influence. Whether from that cause or not receipts have recently been over 40 per cent smaller than last year, but takings of spinners and exports are also smaller. The price rose three-sixteenths and closed at SS.56. Wool has not advanced with London sales, as was expected, and 5,536,000 pounds have been sold 2,303,700 for eign, against 5,474,300 in the same week of 1892, of which 1.413.500 were foreign. The slow market for goods hinders dealing. failures for the week have been 338 in the United States against 349 last year, and 54 in Canada against 40 last year. Bank Clearings. New York, Dec. 14.

The na tional colored men's conferenze was late in convening yesterday morning. An address to the country was adopted. The objects of the move ment is defined to be the assertion of opposition to every species of injustice perpetrated upon the race; to render more enective the moral, educational and social forces which freemen ought to exercise; to form a com pact national organization; to assume a new attitude among the citizens of the nations, not unduly arrogant, but one which shall resent the assumption of inferiority. Ihis, the address de clares, it is necessary to do after a generation of selfish indifference and un-American and non-Christian con tempt. A Dlan of permanent organization was presented and finally adopted. The name selected is the JSation- al Federation of Colorad Men. Representation shall be by sec tions, rather than by states, the whole country to be divided into four sections in each of which there shall be one vice president and one secretary, who shall be charged with organizing their respective districts. T.he committee which prepared the plan of organization recommended the Rev. J. M. Townsend, of Chicago, for president, but upon consideration of that part of the report, D. A. Straker, of Detroit was found to have the stronger following for president. The discus sion over the selection of president was not and bitter. The vote resulted Straker, 34; Townsend, 12. TARIFF POINTERS. Pennsylvania Grange Submits Qneries to Protectionists and Free Traders. Williamsport, Pa., Dec. 14. The Pennsylvania state grange passed a resolution requesting the American Protective Tariff League, of New York, and the Home Market Club, of Boston, to answer the following ques tions: 1. Can a tariff on imports direetly or indirectly protect the home market prices of agricultural staples as long as toe surplus is sold tor export, and the export and home price of these are the same? 2, If it cannot, must not this unpro tected industry pay for the cost of protection or the protected industries? 3. Is not such a system of protection injuriously unjust and inequitable to the producers of agricultural staples? 4. Will not a bounty on the exports of agricultural staples tor the protec tion of their prices in the home mar ket be just and equitable so long as protection by a tariff on imports is in operation?

On Trial for the Murder of Mil lionaire Still well. Son of the Murdered Man On the Witness Stand. LETTER AND MESSAGE Denying Belief in Hearne's Guilt Produce Sensation. Trying to Prove That Mrs. Still well Was the Prize. Bowling Green, Mo., Dec 14. Richard H. Stillwell, son of the mur dered man bv his first wife, was the first witness on the stand yesterday when the case of Dr. Hearne was re sumed. His was the principal evi dence of the day. The first part of his testimony related to the position of his father's body after the murder, and corroborated that of previous witnesses. As to the search for clues, the wit ness said the searching party found all the doors open to the alley,' matches scattered along, the silver, the bills, the wallet and the ax. Dr. Hearne was ahead, and found several of the clues. He did not pick up what he found, but kicked it over with his foot, calling other people's attention to it. He could not remember who found the ax. All the windows and doors were examined, and no traces were found of any attempt to get into the house from without. Witness said his father and his wife got along reasonably well together. but that he knew she was not in love with him. Mrs. Stillwell had tcld him this. She had said his father was too old a man for her, and that she wished she had married a younger man. The witness testihea that he nad heard Dr. Hearne deelare that he was looking for a rich woman and a wife. Hearne had also asked him repeatedly, after the murder, how much he thought the estate would pan out. After the murder Dr. Hearne spent most of his time at the Stillwell resi dence. The relations between Dr. Hearne and the widow were very close, he being very attentive to her, and very offieious about the house. The defense sprang a sensation dur ing the examination of Richard Still well in the shape of a letter written by him to Mrs. Hearne, while she was the widow of Amos J. Stillwell, and stopping at a sanitarium in Battle Creek, Mich, fine letter, which was written in answer to a telegram from Mrs. Hearne, read as though Mr. Still well could never believe either Dr. Hearne or his wife could be guilty of the murder of his father. In explain ing his reason for writing the letter, Mr. Stillwell said: "It was only nat ural for me, slong a member of my lather b tamurc to.-telieve ana main tain that my father's wife was inno cent of this crimo. He then related m detail his reasons for changing his mind in that respect. Toward the close of Mr. Stillwell's examination late in the afternoon, the defense sprung another surprise by producing a copy of the telegram Richard Stiiwelt sent Mrs. Amos bull well assuring her of his confidence in Dr. Hearne's innocence. The witness turned the tables bv remarking: "The preservation of that letter and that telegram is proof positive of guilt." As he finished the remark Mrs. Hearne fairly gasped for breath and moistened her parched lips with her tongue. Unusual Suit at Nevada, Mo. Nevada, Mo., Dec. 14. An unusual case is on trial in the Vernon county Circuit court here, in which E. W. Clark sues Mrs. Caroline Simmons for breach of promise, asking $3,000 dam ages for lacerated feelings.

Plaintitt gained her eon sent to marry him on March 21 last, but when he went after his license it was refused by County Recorder John B. Harvey, who produced a letter from Mrs. Simmons instructing him not to issue the license. Mrs. Sim mons was at that time Mrs. Harrison. She married Simmons two weeks after the date set for her marriage with Clark. Ing-ersoll Kot Yet Invited. Columbia, Mo., Dee. 14. No invita tion has yet been sent to Colonel Robert G.

Springfield, 111., Dec 14. C. E. Felton of Chicago and Valentine Jobst of Peoria, the committee on construction of buildings at the state reformatory at Poniiac, arrived here this morning in company with Architect A. M. Bell of Chicago, and met the governor at hia office. Mr. Bell had been employed to draft plans for the new building at the reformatory, for which 100,000 had been appropriated by the last general assem bly. The plans were submitted to the governor, who said they are nearer his ideas than any that have been made for any public building during his term of office. The governor's ambition seems to be to have all state buildings erected nnder hia administration represent the German style of architecture, and this one will be built in that style.

During the summer of 1802 Fox Jour neyed to Paris, where he was pre sented to Bonaparte early in Septem ber. The English statesman was fas cinated, and although "the first consul said nothing definite or precise, his visitor departed convinced that his host desired nothing but peace with a liber al policy both domestic and foreign, as far as was consistent with safety. But the attacks of the English press became none the less virulent in con sequence of Fox's favorable report, or of his brilliant defense of France from his place in parliament, Toward the close of January Talleyrand remon strated with Whitworth, this time giv ing point to his remonstrance by a plump demand as to what England In tended to do about Malta. Whitworth replied that he was without Instruc tions, and made an evasive answer, hinting that the king's opinion of the changes that had taken place In Eu rope since the treaty might be im portance in determining him as to the disposal of the Island. This was the first official Intimation that England did not Intend to keep her promise. A few days later Sebastiani returned from the East, and on January 30, 1803, the "Moniteur" published hia thorough and careful report. It was a long docu ment, fully explaining every source of English weakness in the Orient, and setting forth the possibilities of re-establishing French colonies in Egypt and the Levant. There was only one menacing phrase, but it expressed an unpalatable truth, that "6,000 French troops could now conquer Egypt." The publication In England of this paper raised a tremendous popular storm, and it has pleased many historians to re gard Bonaparte's course as a virtual declaration of war. In reality it was merely a French Roland for the Eng lish Oliver. If England intended to keep Malta, let her beware of her prestige in the East. Had Bonaparte intended to act on Sebastiani's report, he certainly would not have published It Of course, the English, populace utterly failed to grasp so nice a point, and the incident so strained the rela tions of France and England that all Europe saw the impending crisis one or the other, or both, must consent to a modification of the treaty in respect to Malta, or there would be war. "Life of Napoleon." READING TRE TELEGRAM. It Was Very Badly Written, but tha Drug Store Cleric Made It Out. From the Evansville News: They were standing on the corner of Seventh and Vine streets not many nights ago. One of them had just received a tele gram and he was making a great ef fort to read it. He tried it for several minutes and then handed it to his friend with an air of disgust. The second individual gave It up aft er struggling with it a quarter of an hour. "I never saw anything to beat that," he remarked, as he handed the message back, "and I've seen some pretty bad writing in my time, too." "Well, I can't read it and I'd like to know what it says, badly." "Let me see? Ah, I have It. Drug clerks can read most any kind of writ ing. Let us go and see." They went to the nearest pharmacy and handed the message to the pre scription clerk. Before an explanation could be made he darted to the rear of the shop and disappeared behind the screen. After an absence of fifteen minutes, during which time both men had grown very restless, the clerk appeared and, as he handed a bottle to one of the men, he said: "Sixty cents, please." Rather stunned for a while the man opened the package and read on the label: "One tespoonful to be taken three times every hour." When an explanation was made the clerk set up the soda water. Tramp Slang. Tramp slang is another apparent necessity in a jail. A general conversa tion of prisoners would in many in stances be quite unintelligible to the f uninitiated listener. But it may be de pended upon that the boy is only too alert In gathering in a new phraseolo j gy, and it is not long after his en j trance into the jail until he is fluent in his newly acquired lingo as any pro fessional. He learns all about "bum ming on the roads," "battering for chewing," "hitting the Galway for punk," "rushing the growler for his jigger," "chewing the rag," and other eccentricities of language too numer ous to mention. After becoming pro ficient in this, it is but a step to learn the racks of the trade. His tutors tell him about "playing the light-fingered act," how to work the "jimmy" when prying open a window or door, how to escape from the reform school if he should ever be sent there, how to steal clothes from clothes-lines, how to play the "three-card trick," etc. Very often he will attempt deceptions before he re gains his freedom. "How Men Become Tramps," by Josiah Flynt, in the Cen tury. Real Excitement. "Yes," said the meek-looking man, "I've no doubt you've had some great hunting experiences in the west" "I have indeed."

Topeka is about to enjoy the experi ence of a fight for franchises in the city council. Last Monday evening a Kan sas City man appeared with a franchise which he asked the council to adopt, giving him the right to erect a gas plant. Next Monday evening A, K. Rodgers, ex county treasurer, will appear before the council aad ask for a similar franchise. Mr. Rodgers has been working on the scheme to organize a gas company com posed entirely of Topeka people for some time, and he now has the matter in such shape that he is justified in asking the council for a franchise. The company which Mr. Rodgers rep resents will prebably have a capital stock of (200,000, though the amount has not yet been fully determined. .Mr. Rodgers says that it will be made up en tirely of Topeka people and Topeka cap ital will be used. "There is no reason," said he, "why all these things should not be done at home. If we can keep the mosey here it is the thing to do, and that is why the company is being organized. We went into the telephone business aad the plant was built just as we promised, and the com pany was composed entirely of Topeka people, too. "If the council will give us the fran chise we will pledge ourselves to furnish all the gas the people want for a dollar a thousand cubic feet. Our plant will have twice the capacity of the present plant and of course we will expect to increase the consumption of gas in Topeka. We are in earnest about this and we will build a plant if the council will give us the franchise because when Topeka peo ple can do a thing of this kind they should be allowed to do it. "Of course it is not reasonable to sup pose that two new plants will be built, for that is out of the question. I under stand that this man from Kansas City is only a promoter. W e do not ask'for a franchise for tbe purpose of selling out. We will build the plant surselves, and there ia no promoting about it. We wiil have soma of the best and wealthiest man in Topeka in our company, and we will do just what we promise." The franchise which is now being drawn is similar in many respects to that now being asked for by J. R Mc Iivried of Kansas City. It provides for dollar gas; for a bond that the work will be completed within a specified time; for a deposit to protect the city from damages for tearing up the Btreet; for the commencing of work as soon as the weather will permit thas the plant shall be situated in the city limits so that it may be liable for taxa tion iu the city. It is known that several of the council men will favor granting this company a franchise in preference to the Kansas City concern and the committee's report on the Mcllvried contract will probably meet with more opposition than was an ticipated. It will be a fight between the two new companies for a franchise, and as both plants can not be built, there is a proba bility that it will be interesting. Coun cilman Stephenson says that he is in favor of granting both companies fran chises, and if this is done it would be a race to see which could soonest get to work. WAS IMPRESSIVE. Jmlgei Tharmans Burial Attended by Distinguished Citizens Today. Columbus, O., Dec. 14. With simple, yet solemn and impressive ceremonies, all that is mortal of Allen G. Thurman, jurist, statesman and beloved citizen was consigned to mother earth today. The funeral was held at the Thurman residence at 10 o'clock this morning, and even before tbe appointed hour the house was surrounded with sorrowing friends. There, mingled together, were the etate official and the private citizen, the substantial business man and the me chanic from the humbler walks of life.

The postmaster had closed the post office and all the employes, as well as the other government officials iu the city, at tended. Rev.

Arthur Capper's "Mail" says editorially today: The city of Topeka has been consid erably excited this week over the discov ery of grave robberies. The law never has been effective in protecting the graves of the dead and probably never will be. If the work is carefully done it is not probable that the crime will be detected. Ia fact, it was more an acci dent thaa anything else that led to the discovery of -this case. So far as we are personally concerned we be lieve the remedy for this sort of crime is cremation. To our mind there is noth ing in cremation half so repulsive as the slow, horrible decay of the grave. The burying grounds of the world are breed ers of disease and pestilence, a constant menace to the living. There is another feature of our present burial system more horrible than the idea of loath some decay. Nobody knows how many people are buried alive every year and left to wake to brief but hopeless horror. Cremation -would make any accident of that kind impossible. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Weather Indications. Chicago. Dec. 14. For Kansas Partly cloudy; colder tonight; northerly wiadi. Matters being brought to light by the Philadelphia Lexow committee indicate that the old city, hitherto regarded as bo eminently proper, is no better than its neighbors. Chief Justice David Martin calls the tariS a bounty in referring to the duty on sugar before the passage of the McKinley act. Such a remark made in some of the high protection districts of the east would make him liable to ex communication. Conor Ees seems inclined to issue a search warrant in an effort to unearth the annual report of the business of Secre tary Carlisle's department. Since his ex planation of the "condition of the treas ury, which he has made in his speeches has not met with great favor, it is not surprising that he should feel loth to submit ths facta in cold type. It seems the Democrats intend holdinc a convention just as taouzh nothing had happened, and Chairman Harrity has called the committee together for Janu ary 16 to make arrangements for the funeral. They have been doing this so long that It has become a habit. A cat is not in it with the Democratic party in the number of its lives. If Cleveland an't kill it, it is indeed immortal. Nearly a column is used in the mora log fake factory this morning apologiz ing to the A. O. t. W. and the Catholics. The fussy old sheet is quite ashamed of its venture into sensationalism and will try to keep in the paths of sober virtue and dull dreariness hereafter where it naturally belongs. It takes occasion to apply a number of epithets to the work ing force of the Journal. The an archist editor extends his compliments to tho "wheels" editor and begs to inform him that he has a choice supply of dyna mite bombs on hand which he will ap ply to the morning fake factory from time to time as occasion requires. Secretary Carlisle in his New York speech, President Cleveland in his mes sage and the gold bug press on every oc casion have harped on the fact as they allege, that the government has paid in gold nine-tenths of the greenbacks and still owes them all "redeeming without redemption and payment with out acquittance," as Mr. Cleveland puts It. The president desires to impress the Idea upon the people that when the greenbacks are redeemed the debt which (hey represent la not paid' because the law requires that they shall be reissued. The fallacy of such a position must.be apparent to any one not blinded by preju dice or self-interest. When a govern ment note is redeemed in gold and covered into the treasury the debt of the government is canceled to that extent, just as much as if that greenback .waa destroyed, When an individual pays a promissory note and has it in his pos session it cannot be collected again as long as he keeps possession of it, though he may not even mutilate if. But if he should contract another debt and use the same note for meeting his obligations, it would ef coarse again become an evi dence of his obligation. It is just so with the government, While the re deemed greenbacks are in its vaults it does not owe them: when it reissues them to meet its obligations, as has been done very promptly during Mr. Cleve land's administration they become evi dence of a new debt. The president cannot be so obtuse as not to see this and the only explanation of this part of his message possible is that he was presum ing upon the ignorance of the people. In relation to the probable course of the Republicans in congress, the Phila delphia American says: "The people ex pect mere than fault finding of the Re publicans in congress. They look to hem for leadership, for a definite policy, for positive action. They demand that every effort be made to enact such legis lation as will lighten the burdens of our people, protect our producers from de structive competition with degraded Asi atic and European labor, give employ ment to our wage earners at remunera tive wages, check the disastrous fall in prices and secure to our farmers and manufacturers a market for their pro duce at fair prices. With nothing less will the American people be content. If the Republican party is to be guided by politicians, whose first aim is their own political preferment, if the interests of the country are to be ignored and the energies, the actions, the work of Re publicans in congress done primarily with a view to promote the candidature of presidential aspirants, then neither will the ReDublican party merit the con fidence, or receive the support, of tho American peopie. The American people will not condone trifling with the pros perity of the country in the interests of any politician with presidential aspira tions." The American Federation ol Labor is discussing the question of postal savings banks. A system of such banks might go a long way toward preventing the difficulties which are besetting the treas ury at present. If a few hundred millions of the people's money had been on de posit with the government which it could have appropriated to its own use as other savings institutions do there would have been no occasion for an is sue of bonds. If at any time the people should desire to withdraw their deposits to an extent beyond the ability of the government to pay, tho bonds could be issued to them instead of being issued to the Rothschilds and their partners. The ceoDle would be glad to set them. But of course this would never happen. Withdrawals would be continually re placed by other deposits, the same as in any bank whose soundness is unques tioned. The president in his last mes sage asserted wita empnasis mat me bonds were not issued to obtain money for expenses but to maintain the gold reserve; but everybody knows this to be notoriously untrue. If this were true why is not the proceels of the bond sale in the treasury in some form. There was realized from the bonds about $182,- 000,000, and yet there is not as much money in the treasury today as there was at the time of the first bond issue. It is not expected that the gold for which they were sold should be there but the greenbacks and treasury notes redeem ed with the gold should be on hand. The law does not require that they Bhould be reissued except in answer to the requirements of the government's business. Wichita papers are always harping on the malevolence that prevails against Wichita at Topeka. One would suppose that the people of Topeka stand on the street corners all day long and deride and abuse the people of Wichita. The fact is the people of Topeka scarcely ever think or talk about Wichita. The average man in Topeka doesn't mention the town ones a month. His feelings to ward Wichita are amiable. lie hasu't "got it in" for the town; he is perfectly willing that Wichita should get along and prosper, but he really doeBn't bother himself with Wichita's affairs. Wichita is away off there sulking by herself and Topeka people don't even know it. They have their own matters to think about. Judge J. S. West Resigns. Judge J. West of Fort Scott has for warded to Governor Morrill his resigna tion as judge of the Sixth judicial dis trict, and the governor has appointed Walter L. Simons to fill the unexpired term.

Bona parte of Baltimore. GRA8DHEPHEW0F THE FIRST COHSUL Is a Candidate For Senator Cbarles II. Gibson's Place Bom antle History of the Maryland Bonapartes. The Napoleonic revival would indeed be complete should a Bonaparte be cont to the United States senate. There is a prospect that this very thing may hap pen, for Charles Joseph Bonaparte of Baltimore, a grandnephew of the first consul, is an aspirant for the honor. Mr. Bonaparte is a wealthy lawyer and has been for several years prominent in Republican circles in his state. Eis political ambition and the possibility that he may figure extensively in the political affairs of this country recall the romantic story of the life of his grand mother, Betsy Patterson. It was in 1S03, when Napoleon waa in the fnll flush of his greatness, that a French frigate dropped anchor in Now York harbor. The commander was Captain Jerome Bonaparte, the young brother of the great Napoleon. He had been cruising with his ship in the vicin ity of the West Indies. Young Bona parte was received with great courtesy by the New Yorkers and then went on a tour through some of the principal cities. In Baltimore he found society at his feet. Receptions and balls were given in his honor, and at one of these ha met Elizabeth Patterson, the daughter of a wealthy shipowner. She was then 19 CHARLES J. BOKAPAKTK. years old, but was the belle of the city. The young French captain immediately fell in love with the beautiful girl and proposed. Ke was promptly accepted. Then came the storm. Miss Patterson's parents objected. Eut Betsy was stubborn, and finally her family gave in. The wedding was a gorgeous affair, for Baltimore was then the social center of the country. The young couple spent a few delightful (months traveling in this country. Their 'honeymoon trip waa a series of social triumphs for the Baltimore belle. Then came a stern message from the emperor of the French. He commanded his younger brother to return at once to Paris and to "leave behind the young person whom he had attached to him self. Napoleon wanted Jerome to mar- ry some one else for political reasons. The young captain had to obey, for i his income had been cut off. But Betsy 'would not be left behind. She sailed in one of her father's ships for Lisbon. On (her arrival she found every port in Europe closed against her by a French .frigate. Her husband was taken a pris oner to Paris, and an embassador from ;-Napoleon gave her this message j "The emperor asks what he can do for Miss Patterson." "Tell the emperor," was her reply, "that Mme. Bonaparte demands her rights as a member of the imperial fam ily." But Napoleon was inexorable. He had the French senate declare the marriage annulled, after which the weak Jerome obediently married Princess Catherine of Wurttemberg and was created king of Westphalia. 3 For 50 years after this Betsy Patter Bon fought for recognition as the wife of Jerome Bonaparte. She went to Eng land, where a son was born to her. She named him Jerome. An annual pension of $12,000 was graciously allowed to her by Napoleon. She spent her time in various European courts, where she waa well received on account of her extraor dinary beauty and fascinating manners. She spent the winter of 1823 in Vienna, where she reigned as a social queen. N Her former husband wrote her many letters and offered her a beautiful resi dence in his kingdom with the title of princess. She spurned this offer with scorn and replied "There is room in Westphalia for but one queen. Mme. Bonaparte did not return to Baltimore until her beauty had faded and her disposition had become soured by her disappointed ambition. For the rest of her long life she devoted herself to hoarding money. When she died, at the age of 96, she was worth over $1,000, 000. Her last years were spent in mi serly penuriousnesa. In Baltimore she was known as Mme. Betsy Bonaparte and was a conspicuous character. She was 6een everywhere and was fond of wearing the treasured finery of the years when she posed as a royal personage. She left her fortune to Jerome Bona parte, in spite of the fact that he refused to contract an alliance with the daugh ter of some foreign noble, as she wished, but insisted on marrying a plain Amer ican girl. His wife was Miss Williams of Roxbury, Mass. He had two sons, Jerome and Charles Joseph. Jerome served with distinction in the French army and returned to thia country a colonel. His widow lives today in fine style in Washington. Charles Bonaparte, like his grandfa ther, married a Baltimore girl. Hs moves in the exclusive upper circles of Baltimore society and practices law only when he feels like it.

For 250 years we were taught to depend on some one else for food, clothing, shelter and for every move in life, and you cannot expect what was 250 years getting into a race to be gotten out in twenty-five or thirty years, unless we at best put into their midst Christian leaders, "We went into slavery a piece of property; we came out American citi zens. We went into slavery pagans; wo came out Christians. We went into slavery without a language; we came out speaking the proud Anglo-Saxon tongue.

The good work being accomplished by Dr. Keeley's Western Institute located at Kansas City, Kansas, is attracting notice everywhere. In the Iola Register we find the following account of a recent "graduates" return home: Mr. iu. C. Esse returned Tuesday from Kansas City, Kansas, where for the past month he has been taking the Keeley cure for alcoholism and his friends are rejoicing with him in the fact that he is physically, morally and mentally a new man. Mr. Esse is not ashamed now to confess that when he went to Kansas City he was very nearly a wreck. The appetite for drink had so completely mastered him that he found it impossible to throw it off, although no man ever tried more heroically. He had no faith in Keeley, but it seemed to be the last chance and bo he went to the in stitute. In twenty-eight days he gained eighteen pounds and for the first time in years he is in perfect health and Is as absolutely free from the desire to drink as he was before he ever tasted the ac cursed stuff. These facts are given with Mr. Esbb's full knowledge and consent for ho wants everybody to know that "whereat he waa dead, now he is alive again," and he wants the knowledge of his cure made known so that others who are victims of the sama disease may take courage.

As Herr Ahlwardt speaks only German, his lectures are not apt to cause a very widespread 6en- DR. AHLWARDT. Bation, though the impudence of his propaganda has excited the public cu riosity as well as general condemnation. "I came here," said Dr. Ahlwardt, "for the purpose of uniting the working classes of this country against the Jews. The Jews produce nothing by their own labor, and their sole desire is to reap the benefit of the work of others through trickery and fraud. I maintain that the Jewish spirit is corrupting the gentiles; that labor is oppressed by the Jews, and its fruits are absorbed by them. I hope I shall be able to arouse the slumbering anti-Semitic feeling in this country. I do not expect any hostile demonstration while I am here, although I intend to stir things up a good deal. I hope that those who do not agree with me will fight me openly and face to face. "The anti-Semitic crusade in Ger many began in 1870 with During, who was a professor at the University of Berlin. It was through reading bis pamphlets that I became interested in the movement You must remember that this fight, begun by During and carried on by me, is a race fight. There is another movement against the Jews, which is of a religious nature. The leader of it is Dr. Stoecker, formerly court chaplain. Dr. Ahlwardt is of medium height and stout, with a jolly face. He is 50 years old and was born in Pomerania, sear the Baltic eea. He was a public school rector in Berlin when he began his war on the Jews. Then he went into politics and was twice elected to the reichstag, where there are now 1 7 anti-Semitio members.

STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14, 1895. NIGHT AMONGTBE TOMBS. "Becky Sharp" Spends the nidnight Hours in the Cemetery. ACCOMPANIES THE BIGHT WATCHMAS In Ills Rounds MaUes a ItonnU AmouK the Graves All Alone How Tope k a Cemetery Loots After Mid nifrht. I've been out in the Topoka cemetery 11 night until daybreak. I went out on purpose to se6 bow the tombs there are guarded against grave robbers. I think I hear some one say, '-It's high time some body was locking the stable door after the horse is stolen." I've promised mysSlf in behalf of the Journal readers that the terms "eerie," "weird," "uncanny." "ghouls." "ghostly," "city of the dead," "this mortal coil" "si lent majority," et al, shall not creep or crawl, or even stalk ghoBt like (into this account of my experience, so if at any time I bring up short in the middle of a sentence, it will be because I have been tempted to try to tell just how I felt and acted ad a cemetery guard last nlzht out on the hill where so many of Topeka people's dear ones have "laid them down in their last sleep." Ever since the tirst grave was robbed, I've been wondering why grave robbers have such easy work. How is it that they can ply their awful business with out interruption. The first thing necessary to my invest igation was to find how the cemeteries are guarded at night. Late yesterday afternoon I rode out on the Sixth street line to the east entrance of the Topeka cemetery. I was the only pas3enger out and the conductor, whom I did not know, called me Mias Sharp and said: "Yon cer tainly did not like being a street railway employe; you didn't stay with us long. But," he added, "you did a pretty good day's work." I told him I thought I certainly earn ed the money I got that day. Leaving the car, I walked up the main avenue of the cemetery with the intou tion of going to Mr. D. O. Crane for per mission to patrol the burying ground with the cemetery guard, for though I did not know that such a person existed, I felt quite certain he ought to. Just as 1 arrived at the tool house near the center of the grounds, I saw a man come out and lock the door. I walked up to him and said: "Are you employed about this place?" "Ye3 ma'am, can I do anything for you':" Well, y03 he could, or let me do some thing I wished to, so I said: "Is there a gUHrd or night watchman of the grave3 here at the cemetery?" "Yes, ma'am." "May I come out toniefit and help him with his worii?" handiDg him my card. "I want to see just exactly how he patrols the grounds in order to keen the body suatchers away." "Oh, so you are Becky Sharp, are you? Well, my name is D. B. Jones, and I know about all the other affairs you have described in the Journal, and I'll see Mr, Crane if you wish, and 'ask him about it. I'm Bure it will be all right, though, and you can come out whenever you like. I'll meet you down there at the streetcar, but though I have tried it and know that it takes some nerve to ride on an engine as you did, I guess you couldn't have used your courage all up, for I believe it will take even better nerve to make one who 1b not used to it walk around this yard at night. "I afraid; oh, no, and I was never bo: but it comes a little eaBier to me now to do things that require bravery than it did at first. C'Put on warm wraps, Miss Sharp; it gets pretty chilly up here about mid night," called Mr. Jones, as I hurried back to the car. Back down town, I ata supper, and as I couldn't whistle to keep my courage up, 1 chewed gum instead, which device I kept up all evening and night for fear my teeth might chatter. Several times during that trying vigil I came near for getting my chewing gum and letting my teeth get started, and you know if your teeth once begin to chatter, vou can't stop. Having accepted the profered escort of one of the young men at the Journal office who agreed to scare away tho Bpooks in case Mr. Jones did not meet me promptly I started for the cemetery about ten o'clock at night. The street car conductor regarded us a little curiously, I thought, and when we arrived at the end of the line several colored men and women itepDed up to the car, talking grave robbers, as every one is these daya As the young man with me brushed against her, one of the women half shrieked hysterically, "Good Lawd, is that one of them studionts?" "Nevermind, auntie, they don't want colored people," called out the younir man. s Mr. Jones was waiting for me, accord ing to promise, and my escort took the Bame car back to town. Ko Booner had all acquaintances dis appeared than I began to think what a lot of people it would take to seem like a crowd, and that I would rather do a cemetery in that fashion than alone. Of course I wasn't afraid of the dead people, oh, no! Besides there was Mr. Jones, who must be well acquainted with the ghosts by thi3 time; it mast be the grave robbers I was afraid of, but no, of course there wouldn't be anv after all the excitement; after all I wasn't afraid anyway. Why should I be? Mr. Jones was walking along explaining to me that new graves were always his especial charge, and that in addition to privately marking all graves which he filled in, he visited new ones two or three times every night As we walked over south (I think it was) to look at a grave which was made abont eight weeks ago and which Mr. Jones has been specially re quested by the friends to watch during the last week, I smiled hvsteric&lly a"t the sound of my own awed tone in asking Mr. Jones the most commonplace ques tions. If Mr. Jones was laughing at me I oonld not tell it; it was too dark to Bee, but I was careful to keep within five or six feet of him, though I was in deathly terror of stepping on a grave After seeing that all was well on the extreme south, we visited yesterdav's new made graves. Mr. Jones look Ing at each one carefully. As we atood by one of these Mr. Jones said, "I've been in this yard four years when I first came, it used to break me' op a nine to De a witness to people's I grief, but now Tve becom accustomed J to it so that it's been a long time since my feelings were stirred till today. A man was being buried here. Only a few people were present. The mourners were two sons and a 12-year-old daugh ter. She did not weep, but she so plainly showed her suffering in her face, and sank half fainting so often that I just couldn't get over it and I Beam to see her now, poor girl." As Mr. Jones steps carefully about to avoid stepping on the graves he seems to Bee everything in the darkness, and stoops to replace a wreath of immor telles which the wind has blown off. He says, "I never carry a lantern or build a fire, and in the four years I've been here, there has been neither in the yard." "What no lights, never! "Well what is that over there beyond the tool house, it looks like a light to me and it does not stand still either!" "Well," said Mr. Jones, "so it does, but that's nothing, just stand still a min ute and you'll see a lot of them, and what will seem worse still to you, something will seem to move between yon and them. "Those are reflections of the city's elec tric lights on the polished surface of the granite monuments. "What makes them seem to move? Oh, they do flicker and glimmer, and some times almost disappear, just as the lights themselves do, and though they some times seem to be guilty of strange antics, nothing has evar come of any of it, and I don't try to investigate or explain. "I've never seen anything that seemed unexplainabld to me, though their was a a motorneer on this line wbe resigned his situation last winter, because as he said a white robed lady walked back and forth every night just as he made the last trip out here. No; I never saw her, and if I ever saw anything walking about here I would believe it to be flesh and blood and tjy to find out what was wanting" As we talked we walked about all the time and Mr. Jones told me whose each monument and lot was. He lighted a match and showed me the photogragh of a man just under a lit tle marble slide on his monument. I was well wrapped up, but as midnight drew near, my feet would get cold and I was glad to walk brisky about. I had meant to patrol a section ithe yard is divided into sections) of the cemetery alone, but I kept on finding something of interest to ask Mr. Jones. Had he ever seen any grove robbers? No. Did hehave trouble with loafers? A little in ihe summer time, but they always moved on when he epoke to thom. Were there any open graves? Yes, he would Bhow me one. It was not quite finished, but we went and stood beside ir, and looked down into it. It was unfinished, and was in the east row of old soldiers' graves. Just to our right the beautiful monu ment erected by Mr. Gage last spring stood, and the soldier on top Beemed to be keeping watch over and guarding his old comrades Who are so fast joining him. The pines and other evergreens, like so many dark specters, were outlined very still against the dim sky with its stars twinkling through a half haze. The tall elms and eottonwoods waved their interlocking branches and I fancied whispered softly half indig nantly there Is an intruder here; why should the living move about among the tombs when this our abode is given np to darkness and the dead. As I stood by that old soldier's open grave, I iSuddenly forgot that I had trembled at being in a graveyard. What other place so peaceful. The tall white marble forms Beemed to stretch inviting arms to mortals, and speak of rest. The granite reflected the myriad lights, which ssemei to say, "We keep watch here when even the stars, which can see the buBy world beyond, wink and blink at the wickedness they must look on." Off to the right lay the city, where society smiled in its devotee's face, where the wornout mourner turned rest lessly in sleep and dreamed of the loved ones and perhaps, alas, of grave robbers, where the "solemn brood of care" was plodding on and each one as before chasing his favorite phantom; and the dead there seemed to say to me, "we pity you." An unexpected sound made me give a sudden start, it was I nearly said weird but long drawn out and half mournful. As I turned in its direction, off to the northeast, a long streak of fire seemed moving swiftly along the edge of the trees, and Mr. Jones finished bringing me back to a realization of the fact that 1 was assistant cemetery guard by say ing, 'That is a lata train, pretty sight ain't it?" All at once I felt sort of nervous again, and the tombstones resumed their former mocking attitudes, and B6emed nodding among themselves. Could I get up the courage to make a trip around by myself? Well, I could try, so just as we reached section 60,- where the splendid Allen Sella monument is, Mr. Jones said, "I'll stand here while you walk around this section. If yon get frightened just stand still and call to me. Don't attempt to run or you'll fall over the iron railings or small Btones," I started. For the first few steps I felt as if I must turn back, lout by the time I was half way around, a distance of two city block, I was quite brave, and much ashamed of a predisposition to be afraid when there was nothing to fear. By the time I got back to where Watchman Jones was, I was walking leisurely and somewhat enjoying the novel stroll in spite of the fact that I was trespassing on the "witching hour" when only "ghosts do walk" and "spirits stalk abroad." After that I got on well, not requiring Mr. Jones' chaperonage except to show me where the potter's field used to be. "That was filled up some time ago," Baid Mr. Jones, "and now no paupers are buried here." The last one buried in this plot was the mobbed murderer Oliphant, and his body was taken, the only one ever taken out of this cemetery to our knowledge. It seems a little odd about his grave. It was the same which had been used for a Chinaman who com mitted suicide in this cemetery by hang ing himself with a blue silk sash. Tne Chinaman's friends took him up, cre mated him and sent the ashes back to China. When Oliphant was buried in the same grave some one carried away the body. Gaes3 that spot wasn't meant for a grave," concluded Watchman Jones. We walked toward the top of the hill WHAT IT WILL ALL COST. Only $250,000 for the Receivership Instead of $750,000.

The deed of the Santa Fe railroad, a copy of which ha3 just been filed in the clerk's office of the United States circuit court, discloses tha fact that the allow ance for the expense incident to the sale and receivership of the road is $250,000. Out of this the receivers must be paid; two trust companies will get a per cent and the attorneys for the two trust com panies, the attorney for the receivers, the solicitor for the company and the master in chancery will all come in for a share. The two trust companies will probably get the lion's share, and their attorneys will also be taken care of. But Judge Caldwell will have somethtng to say, and he will see that no injustice is done. The amount set aside for the expenses is not so large us some people anticipa ted and the interested parties seem un able to agree upon a division of the spoils. Several meetings were held in Topeka at which efforts were made to adjust the division but they were un successful and another meeting- is to be held in Kew York on December 23, when the question will probably be finally dis posed of.

Twenty-six Convicts to Receive Their For mal Pardons in a lrew Days. A list of twenty-six prisoners who will complete their sentences in the state penitentiary within the next thirty days has been forwarded to Governor Morrill and he will issue the regulation ten day pardons, giving the prisoners their citi zenship. In this list of prisoners are two Topeka men. One of these is R J. Stewart, who embezzled funds from the A. O. U. VV. lodges and Select Knights, and the other is Con Ryan, who was con victed of grand larceny. and I said "there comes somebody," half fearfully. Just then the approaching figure call ed out, "Jones, I'll relieve you now." It was Mr. Crane's eon, Frank. A boy of seventeen, and yet he did not seem to mind the prospect of watch ing a cemetery. Then Mr. Jones and I went down to look at the vaults. As I looked back over the hill the first streaks of dawn were shooting along the horizon. I've had few opportunities of seeing day dawn, but each of these has made ms wonder why the song says "the grey dawn was breaking." For the sake of rythm, perhaps. Dawn is not grey, but blue and green, crimson and gold. This particular dawn seemed to me typical of the resurrection to come to the quiet sleepers back on the hill. As my long night's watch drew to a close I realized that I was tired, hungry and sleepy, as well as cold, and I almost fancied that the cab rapidly approaching for me in the distance was indeed a gold en chariot and that I was to be trans ported quickly to a place where flash and blood in need of steam heat, modern conveniences and other creature comforts could get them. And they were indeed most welcome to Becky Sharp. P. S. I would not care for Watchman Jones' position no matter now much the salary. B. S. Kid Dolls, Kitchell Marburg. 112 calls np the Peerless.

You don't know what it is to be waked np out of a gentle nap in the middle of the night and asked what time it is, what time such and such a train leaves; if you know where Mr. Jones-Smith's grocery is and if he keeps open all night; what the hours of postal collection are and a thousand other things that nobody but a walking encyclopaedia of general and useful information could be supposed to know. That's the sort of thing the overwork ed telephone girl has to meet every hour, and yet you are thoughtless enough to wonder why on earth it is she gets out of patience occasionally. It's a wonder she justdones't get a chair and smash things some times. In one of the Topeka central offices works a girl. She is pretty and jolly and refined and good natured and keeps her finger nails clean, and is otherwise a very nice sort of girl. This description is so general and true that the girl will easily be recognized, and she tells this story: "I think in my career as a telephone girl I have answered at least one third of the questions invented since Adam, gue3sed at answers for another third, and said 'I don't know' to tne rest, but last night I struck something that was so new to me that I was surprised. "For the 813th time 1 had dropped into a gentle doze in my chair and for the 814th time I was made aware by tha us ual sign that my attention was wanted. 'Hello,' I said. "There was utter and complete silence for a second and then it was broken by a suppressed .'hie.' "I imagined I could smell whisky, 'Hello,' I said again with a little im patienca 'Hello, shentral,' said an unsteady voice, 'zhat you? Glad ye come.' 'Well,' I said, 'what do you want?' "I could hear his vest buttons scrape against the transmitter as he steadied himself. "'Wan' mah hat,' he said after a mo ment. 'I haven't got your hat,' I answered, 'did you lose it?' 'Ahuh; los' mah hat an' los' my key an' don't know where I live. Shay, Shentral.' ''Well?' 'Whash time?' 'Two thirty-five,' 'Great Schot. Zhat late? Shay, Shen tral.' 'All right.' '"Sposa you know where I live? "I don't know. What's your name?,' "There was a moment's pause. "'Wash mah name?' I heard him ask someone; (mumble) 'Jim knows mah name but he's gone.' "I was about to shut him off when he spoke again. 'Shay, Shentral.' 'Well? "'Havin' mighty good time.' 'I don't doubt it,' I said. "'Ziiink ye c'ld come down have lem onade 'th me? No? Treat ye like lady. Can't come? Aw right'! j "I rang him off.' What a funny thing a "10, 20 and 33 cent" audience is. A notion seems to have spread itself that there is no pleasure in attending what is known as a "popular price at traction," and that there is no knowledge to be gleaned from its benches, but all that is a fallacy. There is fun there, and whenever you get fun you get some profit out of it. Generally it is the identical audience every night after the first one. It doesn't seem able to change itself. It seems to have fallen into the habit of go ing and goes every time. It is composed largely of the girl who works like a slave in the kitchen with an old calico dress on all day and then spends the money she made, at the "show" wearing smart looking clothes that she bought with money she made oil the shows that didn't come; for if there were shows all the time goodness only knows what she would wear. She sits well down in front proudly what did she get her clothes for? and back under the balcony sits the young man who is going to take her home. He might sit down boside her, but he hardly has the nerve to do so without paying for her seat. There is a little decency in him at all events. And there is the young couple. They don't go because they care anything about the play. They go for the reason that largely impels their attendence at church and Sunday school. He knows she is going to be there and she knows he is going to be there and that is reason enough if you could call it reason. Dis appointed bachelors and the new woman Bay it is not. And she imagines she is the wronged heroine and he imagines he is the wronged hero and each suffers un told anguish with gum drop and chewing gum between the acts knowing it will come out all right and that they will be united for evermore under the direction of a merciful playwright that healeth all wounds before the curtain goes down. And what would the people on the stage do without the gallery? Nothing. They wouldn't get encouragement enough. The gallery, where the shocky headed people sit next the railing in the front row in blue shirts, duck coats and with caps on and stare down on you be tween acts and work their jawB. A young man sat up fn the gallery one night with his hair combed. But that was the only time. He don't feel like risking it again. And how they do applaud, these people. And when the wronged husband finds his wife in the arms of his faithless friend, and after telling her how it has cut him to the heart and Bent all the sunshine out of his life, goes out to take a drink with the property man, though he has told her he is going to pack up his few things, after which he will "1-1-1-e-ave yen for-ev-er," and she, not brave enough to face him again, poor girl, hastily writes him a note, and taking her child, skips bareheaded out into the snow storm and winter wind, even leaving her bottle of cough syrup behind, de claring that she will never, no never re turn until she can "pr-o-o-ve" her "inn-no-cence," then, then the gallery comes down with a thunder of applause that would seem adequate to jarring the mortgage off the opera house. What a godsend the galleryman is to the "people." He is seldom impatient. He can't buy whole lifetimes in ten min utes for 10 cents, and he is willing that it shall string out to three hours if the scenery isn't working well or Bomebody holds the show between the acts for a settlement. All he wants is a plug of to bacco and the drop raised and it is all right He doesn't care if the leading woman's French is a little defective and if the leading man does mispronounce a word occasionally, and if ,it does drag some times while the dress suit is chang ing men behind a flat, or if the coats are "dinkey" and -short before and behind. His loye of dramatio art and the assurance gained from experi ence that it will come out all right keeps him contented. And if you haven't already had enough for your money, or lithograph pass, there is the man who appears just before the last act, and "on behalf of the manage ment thanks yon one and all for your patronage here this evening, and begs leave to announce that on tomorrow night we will take pleasure in present ing for your consideration that beautiful society drama in four acts entitled 'Cigarette Sal, or the Heroine of Poker Alley.' in which Miss Topsy Featherweight will appear in the great character of Percival, the boot black, assisted by a strong cast compris ing the entire strength of the company, and to the grand family matinee (there is no other kind) on Saturday afternoon on which occasion, etc., and now thank ing you once again, one and all, etc., etc.; after the third and last act of 'The Broken Dishrag' we will bid you all a kind good night." You couldn't get along without him any more than you can't help joining in the applause that bows him out. What wouid life be without the reper toire show? A Topeka man was in Galveston re cently. Brass bands were not out to meat him when he got off the train and there was no speech making and banqueting. But then, perhaps they didn't know he was from Topeka. When he went to a hotel he took his little grip along and did not get it checked. Instead he simply set it down behind the counter and said he would come and get it in a short time. So did another man with the same sort of a grip. When the Topeka man went to go he reached around the counter for his grip. Of couree he got the wrong- one. If he had got the right ona it would have spoiled this story. Picking it up he slammed it down on the counter and demanded the amount of his bill with that beautiful sang froid for which all Kansans are noted. He had the money to pay the bill with and he paid it. Before he got to the door he dropped the grip on the floor once. There was nothing startling about such a small mat ter as that; not then. There is now. He was particularly careless about that grip. As he looks back over the journey home he can see now where he went out of hi3 way on several different occasions for the delight of throwing it against posts on the street and seats in the car, and how, instead of setting it down as a sane man would, he used to throw it with all his might against the car floor. It was his grip, anyway, and he bad a right to throw it around if he wanted to. He had no occasion to open the grip on hia homeward journey, and it was not until be marched into his room in Tope ka and dropped it wearily on the floor in his room that its contents were thought "What you got?" said his room mate, "anything good in that grip?" "Oh, a little," said the traveler, "help yourself." The roommate 'opened the grip, and there in the bottom of it, instead of the lemonade and milkshake he had hoped to find, were six innocent sticks of dyna mite at least as big as cord wood. With one wild sbriek of remembrance and fear the traveller keeled over on the bed and buried his head under the pil lows. It's a case of nervous prostration, the doctors say, and he may not be out for more than a week. Too Much For Him. "Forty-seven dollars, please, he said to one of the baggage checkers at the Grand Central depot. "What for who what?" "Forty-seven dollars for me. This road busted my trunk and ruined every thing in it!" "Oh t I see. Well, you'll have to go about it in the regular way." "How's that;" "File your claim and a list of con tents and swear to everything. "How long before I get ruy money?" "Maybe six months and maybe nev er. That depends on what sort of a case yon have." "Any writing to be done?" "Of course. j "Got to spell ont every article?" "Certainly." "Got to write in ink?" "Yes." "Then I withdraw my claim. I've been out in Montana, and it took me Bis months to write a letter home ask ing for $60, and six more for 'em to make out what I wanted and send ca the money. Just hunt up an old box for me to put my socks and collars in, and I won't file no claim. Detroit Free Press. A Break In the Chain. At a certain school not very far from Halifax it used to be the daily custom for the scholars to repeat the Apostles' Creed, one beginning, "I believe in God, the Father Almighty," the next going on, "Maker of heaven and earth," and bo on, turn and turn about, until the creed was concluded. It was also usual for the scholars to occupy the same place day af ter- day, so that a boy al ways repeated exactly the same bit of creed. This arrangement led to a rather amusing scene one day, when one of the pupils happened to be absent. The creed was said as usual until they came to the passage, "I believe in the Holy Ghost, when the boy whose turn it was to go on hesitated for a minute and then said, "Please, sir, him 'at believes in the Holy Ghost isn't here today.

The shabby treatment which Topeka theater goers have been receiving is re sponsible in part for the small audiences at the Grand yesterday afternoon and evening to hear Ellie Elisler, In the af ternoon there were perhaps 75 people on the floor when Miss Eilsler and her com pany gave the late Alexandre Dumas' masterpiece, ''Camille." It was not only a small but a dead, cold, nnappreciative audience which was difficult to play to. It never applauded unless members of the Crow company, who occupied boxeB, first started it. The ushers seemed to forget their habit. The audience seemed to be composed of those people who have been going to the socalled farce comedies, and they found nothing funny in "Camille." For all that Slisa Eilsler and her ex cellent company played the matinee bill with earnestness and spirit. The work of Miss Eilsler was delicate, natural and yet powerful. Holbrook Bllnn played the lead excellently and in the ball room scene in the fourth act the acting of Miss Elisler and Mr. Blinn was really enjoyable. In the evening "As Yon Like It" was given to a slightly larger audieuce. Miss Ellsler's "Rosalind" was good, but the play entire is not calculated to arouse the interest that Miss Eilsler does in more modern and home -like plays. She is not suited to the character of "Rosalind." SUNDAY AT THE CHURCHES. fNotices in this column are inserted free.

Colonel William McLean commanded Drake's brigade in Arkansas before theV bloody Mark's Mill expedition. McLean is now a Democratic state senator from the Terre Hante district He is not a newspaper man, but on the occasion cf the wrecking of a barge on tho Wabash he was employed by the editor of a Terre Haute paper to go at once to the Scene and "write it np. He did so, and gave a graphic account of the ship wreck in verse. One of his verses has since been widely quoted She heaved and sot, and sot and heaved. And high her rudder flung, And every time she heaved and sot A worser leak she sprung. On another occasion Colonel McLean was discussing down in Arkansas the want of the poetic spirit in that state, and some one said that General Pika was not a poet and that no poet conld ever be produced in Arkansas, because the name of the state would not rhyme with anything. Several amateurs tried their hands making rhymes on the name of the state, bnt failed.

Another Biblical expression, which would hard ly be recognized as such at first sight, is "the skin of my teeth" (Job xix., 20). We are indebted to Cervantes for the proverb "Honesty is the best policy," while the familiar phrase "diamond cut diamond" is due to Ford, the author of "The Lover's Melancholy." I Although Sheridan's well-konwn char acter Mrs. Malaprop did "own the soft Impeachment," we must credit Shakes peare with the origin of the saying that "comparisons are odorous" (so frequently attributed to that estimable lady), as he puts these -words in the mouth of Dogberry. Ben Jonson ("The Tale of a Tub," act iv., scene iii.) and Butler ("Hudibras," part 1, canto 1, line $21) both "smell a rat," and to Tusser, the author of "Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry," the truism, "Better late than never," is due. The great Na poleon may sneeringly have called us a "nation of shopkeepers" ("une nation boutiquerie"). and have expressed the opinion that Providence is on the side of the big battalions; but the first Is borrowed from Adam Smith ("Wealth of Nations," Vol. 2, published in 1775, when Napoleon was a child), and the eecond is a plagiarism from Voltaire's Setter to M. le Riche, lated Feb. 6, 1770, ("Dieu est toujours pours les gros batil lons." "Though I say is as shouldn't," Is used in slightly altered form by Beaumont and Fletcher and afterward quoted by Colley Cibber and Fielding. King Charles II. was ofopinion that a parliamentary debate in his time was "as good as a play." For "murder will cut" we must turn to Geoffrey Chaucer, 't who, in hia quaint spelling, tells us "Mordre wol out" ("The Nonnes Preestes Tale," line 15,058). When we eay we will "leave no stone unturned," .we-are quoting the answer of the Del phic oracle to the inquiry of Polycrates as to the best means of discovering the treasure buried on the field of Plataea by Mardonius. To "make a virtue of necessity" is from Chaucer ("Knight's Tale"), but the phrase is used also in Rabelais, Shakespeare and Dryden. Romping dames at the Tnilnries. The emperor and empress were ex ceedingly hospitable and kind hosts, but for this nately, romping chosen, which, undignified and i Ibeyend school purpose, unfortu games were often though certainly ill-suited to those years, had not the character attributed to them by public report, nor the licen- i tious freedom believed in by the Fau bourg St. Germain, and contemptuous ly sneered at by its aristocratic inhab Hants. The mistake lay in doing on a large scale what ought to be tolerated only among intimate friends and very i- young people. But the mean ingratl- tude of those who enjoyed all the gen erous kindness lavished on their guests by the imperial hosts, and then disfig-.r-ured the truth to sneer at them with their enemies, was too contemptible to ("be even mentioned with patience. t-"Life in the Tuileries Under the Sec- i ond Empire.' s Outwitting the Cashier.

Bow to Make One at a Comparatively Small Expense. A 'very tasteful hanging wall cabinet can be made from three small boxes. Two of them must be oblong and of the same size, -while the third is to be square, or nearly bo, and sot quite so deep as the other two. The square box is for the middle. One of the oblong boxes is to be placed on the left side of A WALL CABINET. the square box, level at the bottom, but standing above it at the top. The second oblong box is placed on the right side, just a little bit higher than the square box at the top, but lower at the bottom. This gives rather a change from the or dinary hanging cabinets, the irregular ity of the placing of the boxes being a novelty, and, as the cabinet is fastened to the wall, not inconvenient, as it would be were the cabinet a standing one. The boxes are to be screwed together, and a little cornice molding added to the end boxes, and then the shelves ar ranged as before. Any holes must be puttied up and the wood made smooth by sandpapering too. After this several coats of paint will make the little case quite pretty and ornamental, and brass rods and some gold colored silk or serge curtains will serve to keep the dust from books. China can be arranged on the top. A few hooks can be screwed fast under the cabinet, on which any china cups look well suspended. Another use to which medium sized boxes can be put is to join a number of these together and so form pigeonholes large enough to hold bonnets or hats. A firm sheif, fixed rather high on a bed room wall, is a very good place for such a receptacle, and wooden boxes such as hats are sent home in do capitally for our purpose. Nor need the lids be taken off. If these are left on and the boxes inverted, the lids can be made to answer the purpose of little doors and so keep away dust better than anything else. A little arrangement of this sort made from six boxes takes comparatively lit tle wall space and accommodates the headgear which it is often rather a difficult matter to dispose of nowadays. Mince Meat For Pies. Here is one of Mrs. Rorer's recipes for mince meat Cover 2 pounds of beef with boiling water, simmer until tender and stand aside overnight to cooL In the morn ing chop it. Shred and chop 2 pounds of beef suet. Pare, core and chop 4 pounds of apples. Chop a pound of cit ron, a half pound of candied lemon peel and a half pound of candied orange peel. Stone 2 pounds of layer raisins. Pick, wash and dry 2 pounds of currants and 6tem 2 pounds of seedless raisins. Mix all these together and add the juice and rind of 2 oranges and 2 lemons, 2 nut megs grated, a quarter of an ounce of cloves, a half ounce of cinnamon, a quarter ounce of mace and a teaspoon- fnl of salt. Mix again and pack in a stone jar. Pour 2 quarts of cider over the mince meat, cover closely and keep in a cool place. This will keep nicely all winter. When a quantity is needed for use, dip it ont and thin with cider. Change Tour Shoes, The same pair of boots ought not to be worn all day. It is better to have two if not three pairs on hand at one time, both for the relief of the feet and for economical reasons, shoes and boots Wearing much longer if frequently changed, and naturally they do not so quickly get out of shape. They relieve the feet, inasmuch as by the change the same amount of pressure is not always in one part, so that if one pair of boots hurt you in one place another pair may have quite a different effect and imme diate relief is felt.

A useful holder for newspapers, de picted by The Young Ladies' Journal, and designed to be suspended from the hall by a loop of cord, is made as fol lows: For the foundation cut a piece of canvas snch as is used to stiffen the foot of dresses it should be 13 inches wide and 31 inches long cover this with a RECEPTACLE FOR NEWSPAPERS. piece of grayish blue satin, Roman satin, or fine felt, which may be embroidered in the center with a spray of flowers, or may be ornamented with a strip of Ber lin work. On each side is a stripe of tan colored fine cloth, pinked at the edge. On this is laid a strip of gold tinsel braid, round which are twined two lengths of blue ribbon. These must be neatly sewed to the cloth with invisible stitches. Line the inside with tan col ored pongee silk. Turn up the two ends and sew them together. Then sew to a brass or bamboo bar 16 inches long. At tach the cord to the top of holder at each side under two rosettes of ribbon. THE YELLOW AND GREEN. I Olive Harper Says This is the Worst Combination of Color JET 13 A HANDSOME TRIMMIHG. A Sweet Tea Jacket An Odd Plaid Snlt-SIfw Trimmings PlaiaWalsts New York, Dec. 12 Of all the com binations of color offered in any year eince my recollection I think the yellow and green of this season is the very worst. Browns and yellows harmonize beautifully, and other colors find their opposites, but green and yellow "And yet we see this union of colors but too often lately. I have seen things made of them ia every possible variety. There TEA JACKET. are bonnets with feathers and rosettes bearing the bilious combination, green dresses with yellow ribbons or gold col ored trummings and tea gowns and jack ets until I feel half disposed to go to bed with a sick headache. I think green and yellow in combination the most hideous invention of this decade, but there they are, and we must make the best of it. I was thinking about this, when a friend came in to show me the "sweet est tea jacket" that she had just bought. The jacket was of deep, rich hunter's green, with little detached arabesques of gold embroidery down each side. In the middle there was a double cascade of black lace, and a collar made of a doubled plaiting of the green silk, with lace on the outer edge. Directly on the bust there was a flaring bow of bright yellow ribbon, with long ends. "What are you going to wear this with?" I asked. "Oh, every thing! Green and yel low, you know, go witli everything this winter. I groaned inwardly, but got a picture of the wonderful jacket, for perhaps I am prejudiced, and others might like to follow the "greenery yal lery" fad. I think that new fancy must have de veloped from the plaids, for there are few plaids that have no yellow in them somewhere, and as green is the fashion able color of ths season the transition was easy. I saw an odd conceit in the way of a plaid suit today. The skirt was of a very large but very pleasing plaid made bias. The colors were browns and reds, over a mottled ashen gray ground. Thrown over them all were lemon col ored lines defining the pattern. The waist was snug and in basque shape, of seal brown cheviot. The bottom was bound with Alaska sable. The basque was belted in. The sleeves were bishop shape, with deep cuffs, and short Louis XVI gauntlet cuffs bordered with the fur. Across the bust in form of a yoke was a tucked portion of tan colored broadcloth. The sleeves were of this also, and they were tucked at the top. This made a most effective gown. Plaid waists and sleeves are often em ployed to brighten up a dull gown, for women now are not afraid to wear bril liant colors. A dull greenish brown camel's hair gown of no particular color had a row of fancy bronze colored gal loon set all around the skirt, with two cet ornaments on the front breadth. The waist was of clan plaid surah, with a good deal of pink in it beneath the mixed lines. There was a quaint plas tron front ornamented with the galloon. This front, I should have said, was of the camel's hair. It was cut out in front, and a veston of pale pink china crape was folded diagonally across it. Tho stock was of the crape and folded in the same way. There was a folded belt of pink ribbon. This dress Was con sidered very swell, and it was pretty. Some of the short and deniilong capes arocompletely covered with finesoutache braiding, with bordering of black vel vet applique embroidery. These capes are lined vith handsome stuff and have for or feather collars and borderings. The cloth capes only have the soutache. There are seal plush capes with a border of heavy black silk. This border is Bcal- HOCSE GOWN AND WALKING COSTTJMK. loped and the edge sewed in wkh'Xrow of fine jet beads. All over the silk bor der is then sewed an applique of black velvet, this edged in turn with fine beads. Some of the black velvet capes and mantles are almost covered with jet embroidery. Jet is seen everywhere, but it is used with discrimination and fine taste. Olive Harper. True Economy. Economy no more means saving mon ey than it means spending money.

SOME OF THE CONTRACTS OBNOXIOUS But It is Said That This Does STot In clude Those 1'ertainins to the Santa I c's Coal Business. The resident officers of the Santa Fe are wondering about the meaning of a document which wag filed in the clerk's office of the United States circuit ceurt yesterday. It is a statement of the contracts made by the railroad company before it west into the hands of the receivers which the new management refuses to recog nize. There are forty -fonr of them but just what the contracts are is not shown and cannot now be ascertained. One of these contracts is with C. J. Devlin and another with the C. J. Devlin Coal company. This gives rise to the suspicion that there is to be a change in the coal department of the company. though it probably does not mean that Mr. Devlin is to be entirely disposed of. The ceal department is now operated from the general offices and Mr.Devlin is in charge. The railroad owns several mines, but Mr. Devlin also owns several mines and it is said he hag some agree ment with the Santa Fe about the output. Whether the abrogation of these con tracts by the new management means that the arrangements with Mr. Devlin are to be modified or be cut off entirely, is still an open question. Mr. Wilder, the treasurer, who knows as much about the company contracts as any one, does not think that the refusal to recognize the Devlin contracts will affect the posi tion of that gentleman. The greater number of the rejected contracts are those made with other companies and they relate to traffic, to the guarantee of bonds, and to numerous other things connected with the roads. Among them ia a contract made with S. B. Elkins, who is now United States senator from West Virginia. Some of the obnoxious contracts were made just before the system went into the hands of the receivers and they helped to throw suspicion on President Hem hart which resulted in his over throw. It is said that Keinhart as president took occasion to make the most unjust and unsatisfactory con tracts in the name of the company and that in almost all of them the company was a loser.J It is for this reason that the new man acement is getting rid of them. The fuurty-four contracts included in the statement filed doea not represent all that will be abrogated and a reservatipu is made for permission to reject others. The Pullman contract is included in the list. The statement is Bigned by Edward King, Edward C. Beaman and Victor Morawelz. CHARTERS FILED.

Peerless Steam Laundry, 112 and 114 W. 8th. Banquet Lamps, Kitchell Marburg, COY JAPANESE Sweet and Graceful Maidens Above AU Appeal to the Stranger. Nothing in Japan appeals more charmingly to the stranger man or woman than the sweet and graceful maidens in their beautiful and pic turesque costumes of bright colored silks. We laugh at Japanese women dressing in foreign clothes. Certainly they are not as graceful as in their ewn costumes, for they do not know how to wear the occidental dresses. The wear ing of unfamiliar garments cannot be learned in a day. Let the American girls try on the Japanese dresses with out the help of a competent costumer and see what they will look like to Japanese eyes. It is generally be lieved in Europe and America that the morals over there are very low. It Is undoubtedly due to the ridiculous and most unreliable stories which globe trotters delight in telling their friends. There is not in the world a more moral people than the Japanese. These globe trotters know absolutely nothing of the Japanese women of the middle or upper classes, and during the few weeks they spend in Japan they only meet the geisha girls, whose business it is to sing and dance and sell their smiles. Japanese women do not care much for love passionate love as it exists in our country. In fact, it seems unknown to them. Strange as it may appear, a kiss is an unknown thing to the Japanese in general. A lover never kisses his sweetheart a mother never kisses her child. You can kis3 any Japanese girl. She will not object, for she cannot possibly understand what you mean. She will only think "what queer people those foreigners are." Japanese women have three recreations smoking, singing and dancing. They smoke most gracefully, as they do everything. This habit was introduced into Japan by the Spaniards some 150 years ago. Japanese girls, however, do not smoke cigarettes like the belles of Andalusia, but pipes, the daintest little pipes, beautifully ornamented, and holding just enough tobacco for one or two puffs. As to that reputation for beauty which the Japanese women are enjoying, the fact is that there are fewer pretty girls there than in Amer ica. The most one can say of a Japanese betaity is, "How pretty she is!" or "How cute!" One could never think of saying: "What a beautiful woman!" And yet the Japanese girl charms everyone. She does not charm by her so-called beauty, but by her originality, her gracefulness, her gentleness, her kindness, her sweetness. She is the best natured woman in the world, the most affable, the most polite and the most amiable. LOCAL MENTION.

Tbe Healthiness of Yawning. A celebrated Belgian physician says that yawning is an exceedingly healthy function generally, besides having a very salutary effect in complaints of the pharynx and eustachian tubes. Ac cording to the results of late investiga tions, yawning is the most natural form of respiratory exercise, bringing inta action all the respiratory muscles of the chest and neck. It is recommended that every person should have a good yawn with stretching of the limbs, morning and evening, for the purpose of ventilating the lungs and tonifying the muscles of respiration. An emi nent authority claims that this form of gymnastics has a remarkable effect in relieving throat and ear troubles, and says that patients suffering from dis orders of the throat have derived great benefit from it. He makes his patients yawn either by suggestion, imitation, or by a series of full breaths with the lips partly closed. The yawning is re peated six or eight times, and should be followed by swallowing. By this means the air and mucus in the eusta chian tubes are aspirated. A Many-Sided Man. The Rev. Dr. George Thomas Dowl ing of Brookline, Mass., is a polyglot man. He has been at times lecturer, litterateur. Baptist, Reformed and Episcopalian.

He saw evidence of her tem per as displayed upon her father. But he loved her, and that was enough. He mar ried her. I know this is not a pleasant story, and readers need go no further unless they are interested in a curious psychological fact. I myself am a believer in heredity. I am sure that somewhere in the past this wom an had an ancestor with a sharp tongue, which she had never tried to bridle. If there is sympathy for the man who in herits a consuming thirst for drink, why not for the woman who has had bequeath ed to her a bad temper, which she took With her hair and eyes? Luella had everything to make her hap py, from the standpoint of any reasonable being, but she never ceased complaining, and at last the good nature and fortitude of her husband deserted him and he turn ed, not as the worm turns, but rather like a raging lion, and Luella held her peace in sheer astonishment. "I wish you were dumb, he said in a voice of concentrated wrath and scorn. "I wish I might never hear the sound of your voioe again." Like all evenly balanced natures, when he overstepped boundaries, he went too far, but there was this in extenuation, his words came from the lips and not from tho heart, they sounded far worse than they intentioned, and they recoiled on himself, even before he had seized his hat to leave the house. He turned to see their effect on Luella and found, to his horror, that she had fainted. Then he called himself a brute, sent for friends and a doctor and hung over his wifo, prostrate with grief and remorse, un til she opened hor eyes and recognized him. Ho begged her forgiveness, but to all her entreaties she only shook her head fee bly, until at last, when he pleaded for one word, she made a motion which indicated a wish to write, and, with a horrible fear taking possession of him, he gave her pa per and pencil, and this is what sho wrote: "You have your wish. You will never hear my voice again. I am stricken dumb." It was noised about in the community, and people talked old people especially of what they callod "a visitation of God." Tho doctors had another name for it. They cnlled it acute paralysis, and said it was reflex, and would pass off presently, but they were wrong in their prognostica tions. Luella went about her work again the light household duties which devolved upon her but no word came from her mute lips. Allan, who was beside himself with grief and disappointment, urged her to learn tho labial language, indeed off ered to forego speech for her sake and learn the lessons of silence with her, but she would not listen to the suggestion. And then be gan the martyrdom of Allan Davis. Luella could hear perfectly, so that her husband and friends were not constrained in their speech, but any word she had to say, any message or answer in their con versation coming from her, must be writ ten. She was always provided with the means of communication, and writing tablets of the daintiest sort were scattered around the house like some new bric-a-brao of speech. The devotion of Allan Davis to his af flicted wife was something marvelous. He never wearied of loverlike attentions, and he never demanded the slightest recogni tion of them. He spent every hour of his existence not employed in his business in devising pleasures for Luella, and on those unfortunate days when a dumb devil of ill nature asserted itself he met her mute reproaches with a self abasement that was neither unmanly nor servile, but Christ like. His bonny brown locks turned gray, his laughing, boyish face took on the shad ows of early age, but his spirit remained sereue and patient, and the love he held in his heart for this woman grew brighter and more fervent toward the end. And the end came before the fire of youth had quite turned to ashes the end for Allan Davis. It was a simple case of influenza at first, with no suggestion of danger, until one day the doctor looked grave, and the next he said to Luella, Your husband wiil die!" He watched her sharply, but no quiver of an eyelid told him what he wanted to know. She wrote a question on her tablet: "How soon?" "At any time tonight perhaps," an swered the doctor, and again he watched her narrowly. Did he surprise a flash of joy in her cold eyes, a strange tense draw ing of the lines around her severe mouth? It might have been his imagination, but at any rate he was glad for Allan Davis. The end came at night, when Luella watched with her husband alone. He had been sleeping and dreamed something that awakened him with a wild start and made all things look unreal all except his wife, who bent over him with a new solicitude in her face. He saw it and was grateful. "I am going to leave you, dear," he said in the slow, precise tones of those who are nearly done with human speech. "Will you not let mo take with me as my last glad heritage a word of forgiveness for the great wrong I did?" Luella looked at him, and an unmistak able gleam of triumph shone in her eyes and expressed itself in her movements as Bhe seized her tablet and wrote something upon it in plain, distinct letters. Allan saw the look, and tho hope that had sus tained him so many years seemed now about to be realized, and he lifted his head eagerly to read for the last time that be loved handwriting. But God, more merciful than his crea ture, had anointed his eyes with a film, and with the written words he so longed to see held before him by an unfaltering hand he loosed his hold on earthly love and hate and despoiled the last sting of a terriblo revenge. For this was what Luella had written for her dying husband to read: "Since you are about to die I will tell you that I have never for one moment been incapable of speech. I assumed a mis fortune to punish you as yoti deserved. I have succeeded. Detroit Free Press. A Taloable Dog. 1 j.rriend Magnificent dog that. Mr. Suburb Yes, he's an imported thoroughbred.

And a fellow can't make much money at it, either.

At IS Powell stood 7 feet 7J inches, In his stocking feet, and is do taller now, he says, although when in the show business his height is advertised as 8 feet.

When the Republican politicians of Kansas read the news in the Stats Jour kal that Bt. Louis had been selected as the place of holding the national con vention, every mother's son of them took down his map. There was a question of railroad geog raphy to be solved at once in connection with that announcement. It is no treuble for a KanBas Republi can politician to get to Chicago, at least it never has been but they have not been accustomed to going to St Louis and they don't know the way, or better they don't know the "road" as well. A big majority of the examiners have not yet. solved the problem, but some of them have. There is one crowd which ia talking seriously of going to Fort Madison and hen taking passage on a St. Paul or St. Louis steamer for the convention city. This will be cheap and if they do have to start early it will be a sociable way to travel as the board goes with the passage on a river steamer. If they can't get a steamer ticket they can float down on a raft. Some of the Third and Seventh district fellows discovered that the 'Frisco runs into St. Louis and that they can perhaps get to the convention that way. There were two factions however, who gave themselves little uneasiness about this matter. Those who have already at tached themselves to the United States senatorial boom of Judge Albert H. Hor ton did not worry, they remembered that the Missouri Pacific runs direct from Kansas City to St. Louis and they have a friend at court in the person of Balis Waggener. The Burton men worried a little at first but it finally came to them that their uneasiness was a waste of worry when they remembered that the Union Pacific and the Chicago Alton always have had and probably always will have a traffic agreement and they guessed that Go!. A. L. Williams would find a way to carry them through. The fellows who have not yet solved this problem in geography are talking of asking Governor Morrill to call a spe cial session of the legislature to pass an act authorizing the Santa Fe to build a direct line from Kansas City to St. Louis. They figure that if this is done that they may perhaps be able to get a pass over the survey even if they have to walk. JOE LOWE'S HOME BURNED. ills Handsome Home at WuhlnrtoD, Valued at SS.OOO, Destroyed. State Railroad Commissioner Joseph G. Lowe shortly before noon today re ceived a telegram informing him that his residence at Washington, Kansas.was destroyed by fire this morning, but that most of the furniture was saved. Mr, Lowe had a fine residence which cost him ovor $5,000. and he told a Journal reporter that it was partly insured. He said he thought he had $4,500 insurance on the house and furniture. About 16 years ago he had a house burned off the same foundation. That house was just com pleted and had not yet been occupied when it was burned. APPEALED TO KEELY.

Perhaps half a hundred of those interested in the dis coveries of Inventor Keely to the extent of carrying stock in the Keely Motor company, and thereby becoming stock holders in the concern, attended the an nual meeting of the company. An appeal was made to Keely to take out patents on his discoveries and pro tect the stockholders. WON'T TOUCH CUBA. The Cabinet Crisis in Spain Simply a Little Local Matter. Washington, Dec. 13.

This is the busiest time of the year in the county treasurer's office. The two elevators at the Santa Fa hos pital are now in running order. A Topeka hackman passes the time away by whistling sacred songs. A gigantic foot ball scheme is under headway for next season in Topeka. People will burn gas instead of gaso line when they can get it for a dollar. Dr. Magee says dissecting generally does not begin until after the holidays. This wpuld be a good time for some enterprising citizen to start a crematory. Little Miss Gertrude Mulvane is re covering from a serious attack of scarlet fever.

It is thought that the property will be turned over next week. Policeman Parcell is on guard duty all day long at the Medical college and sees every person who enters and leaves that institution. At half past ten last night the high school students made the eight hideous. Their entertainment waa over and they felt like shouting. Some of the A. O. U. W. members were very much displeased that the examination of Janitor Johnson was con tinued for so long a time. A man who would like to be sergeant inclines to the Anna Eva Fay theory that the contest for Ellison's place lies be tween McElroy and "Doc." Fowkes. There has been so much to do since the discovery of the grave robberies that the police have not had time to talk about who will be the next sergeant. The medical students snicker and laugh as though they considered all this trouble a good joke. Some of them may laugh on the wrong side of their mouths. The funeral of Joseph Wright, a mem ber of the A. O. U. W., who died yester day, will take place at 2 p. m. Sunday from bis residence, three miles north of the city. Philanthropic citizens ought to will their remains to the Medical college. If the students would not indulge in levity over the dissecting table perhaps they would. Anna Eva Fake is now over in St Joseph "receiving 500 letters a day," which she hires a man to address to her every day as part of an advertising scheme.

As Major Tom Anderson led his Modocs to the front of the platform at Hamilton hall last evening there was a disappoint ed look on his usually placid counten ance. The hall was not half full of peo ple but those who were there cheered the Modocs and when Marshall's band opened up with a medley of battle day airs there were enthuiastic shouts. -The meeting was held for the purpose of starting a fund by which the Topeka members of the G. A. K. hope to secure the next annual reunion for Topeka and enough tickets were sold to have filled the big hall to overflowing, "Dere was jist one ting aginst dis meeting," Baid an old colored man in the audience, an' dat was dese here people had dis meetin' on Friday an' the thir teenth, loo. People was 'fraid to come." Major Anderson called the meeting to order and introduced a little gray haired pleasant faced man who he said was De partment Commander Harris. Command er Harris had evidently been coached for he talked about Major Anderson and his baby with an ease that comes only from practice. Major Anderson's baby occupied a front seat and it took occasion to show that it is commander in the Anderson household, for when the Modocs were waiting for the band to finish their num ber it got up on a seat and waving its little arms called out, "Stand up, stand up," and the tall figure of the major rose up without a word. Capt, Lewis 1 1 an back, the orator of the occasion seemed a trifle diffident at firBt, but that soon wore away and he stood forth in his power as one of the best soldier orators in Kansas. His ad dress was frequently brilliant, his de scription of battles vivid and interesting and it was one of the best efforts heard in Topeka for a long time. After the meeting Capt. Dan Wyatt led many of the crowd to Ft. Pillow Post hall where a dozen fat 'possums were simmering on the fire. G. G. Gage, Commander Harris, Capt. Wyatt and half a dozen other of the old veterans sat down to a table aud they ate 'possum with a relish until the management was inclined to refuse to serve more. NORTH TOPEKA.

About 8 o clock a young man who boards at the home of Dr. A. A. Raub, on the corner of Gordon and Jackson streets, waa returning hum a when he overheard a conversation be tween three boys who were standing near the alley between Jackson street and Central avenue. One of them was directed to go to the third barn and pour coal oil around it, and the other two would soon be along and touch it off. The barn indicated belongs to J. L. Col lissi, of 1010 North Jackson street. Mr. Collisei's family was away from home, but some of his neighbors were notified of the plot of the incendiaries and the police were immediately called. A crowd then paraded up the alley headed by Officer Owen with a lantern. When the barn was reached it was discovered that the boy with the coal oil had done his work, the hay and building having been thoroughly saturated with the inflamma ble fluid. Of course the crowd with a lan tern had freighteued the boys who were to apply the match, away. It is surpris ing that the patrol wagon was not sum moned. It would have given the barn burners more time to depart than the crowd with the lantern did. After the excitement had subsided and the guilty parties were probably safely in bed the barn was quietly watched by the police. Buy your coal where you can get the best and the cheapest.

"All the problems of this new woman business have not been solved yet," said the club philosopher as he tilted back in his chair and reflectively puffed a cigar. "What new one have you to spring on us now?" asked his companion. "None," replied the philosopher. "The latest I have heard has been al ready solved, but it leads me to think that there will be new ones springing up right along." "What was the latest?" inquired the other. "It happened in a little town up in Wisconsin where there were two doc tors," explained the philosopher. "One was a man and one was a woman, and they fell in love with each other. Wa will call the man Jones for the pur poses of this story and the woman Smith. Each had a good practice, en tirely separate and distinct from the other, but they wanted to marry, and that's where the problem came in." "I don't see much of a problem in that." "Yon don't!" exclaimed the philoso pher. "What's the matter with the problem of names? Here was a Dr. Jones with a good practice and a Dr. Smith, also with a good practice. If Dr. Smith became Dr. Jones, think of the confusion She would lose her iden tity as a physician, and that was the one thing necessary to keep her busi ness. In course of time people would get tired of calling for one Dr. Jones and getting another. "That is something of a problem, sure. I never thought of it before. "Of course not, and neither did they until the time came when they had to solve it. How would you do it?" "I give it up. It would hardly do for each to retain his or her name, would it?" "I should say not." "And a hyphenated name wonldn't do them much good either." "Not a single hyphenated name, but the secret lies in the hyphen neverthe less.. If both doctors were known as Dr. Smith-Jones, it wouldn't be any better than if both were known as Dr. Jones but you can't fool Cupid, and he fixed it by a little juggling." "How?" "Well, they were married, and one of them is now known as Dr. Smith-Jones and the other one as Dr. Jones-Smith. It sounds a bit odd, but it settles that problem, and now I'm looking around for another to bob up." Chicago Post. Very Short. "I am very short this morning, my dear. Thus spoke the Chicago man, and a tear glistened in the eye of his pretty wife, as she thought of the new bonnet that was to come during the day, mark ed (J. O. D. "Dorrt you think," she began in tones of mingled advice aud reproach. But the words seemed to choke her. "What were you about to say, an swer me:" and the irate man seized her wrist threateningly. "Don't you think you had better stop dabbling in lard if it makes yon so short?" The door banged, and all was still again, save the squealing of pigs in the slaughter house over the way. New York Recorder. It Suited Him. It was a sloppy, disagreeable day, but the man looking out of the window seemed to be satisfied. "Splendid weather!" he exclaimed.
