TWO CENTS. SATURDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, DECEMBER 28, 1895. SATURDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. JOT POPULAR. Gov. Morrill's Proposition for State Dispensaries Seems to Suit Neither Prohibi tionists Xor Anties. BOTH SIDES SPEAK. David Overmyer and Chas. K. Holliday Oppose It. Also Lieut. Gov. Troutman, Rev. Richard Wake, Etc A great deal of discussion has been Started by Governor Morrill's suggestion that the Gothenberg system of coutrol ing the liquor traffic be adopted in Kan sas in place of the prohibitory law. It appears that neither prohibitionists nor resubmissionists take to the idea; some Populists favor it because they believe in state control being extended to the pub lic business as rapidly as possible. Lieutenant Govenxor James A. Trout man does not favor the Gothenberg or South Carolina state dispensary By stem of controlling the liquor traffic. To a Statu Joubnat, reporter today Governor Troutman said: -'Our present prohibitory law is tne best law ever en acted in any state or country for the reg ulation and control of the liquor traffic, 2nd the South Carolina plan is, in my opinion, the very worst "Our prohibitory law is all right and 1 should be sorry to see any change in the law as I helieve at the present time the law is fairly well enforced in a majority of the counties in the state." David Overmyer, the leader of the Democratic resubmission forces in Kan sas, is also not in favor of Governor Morrill's state dispensary plan. In speak ing of the position of the governor, Mr. Overmyor said: "1 have never seen the system in op eration and have only a theoretical view of the subject, it is claimed it works very beneficially in Norway and Sweden and it is claimed by its opponents that it does not work beneficially in Nor way and Sweden. The fact that the law may be a success in the sense that it is successfully carried out does not neces sarily prove it a good law. 'Order,' you will remember, 'reigned in Warsaw' at the point of the bayonet and muzzle of the cannon, to be sure. That rule was a great success, but it wouldn't be very palatable for every day use in the United StateB. "1 think that tbe Gothenberg system, even if regarded as feasible and success ful under the paternal governments of Norway and Sweden, would not be so here. We must not forget that our people demand in their every day lives complete immunity from legal restric tions in matters pertaining to their own persons. "They are willing that anything like the liquor traffic, which is fraught with evil and danger, may be "regulated strictly, but they believe that this can fca done without denying them their just liberties on the one hand r making the government a liquor seller upon the other. Police Commissioner C. K. Holliday, who also represents the antt.prohibition element, said: "1 am an old line Demo crat and as such I am opposed to the state Qisoensarv system or the state con trolling the railroads or anything of the kind. It is true that it might be better than prohibition, but anything would be better than prohibition. The liquor deal ers outside tbe state are satisfied with prohibition and they are not anxious to- see it interfered with." Rev. R. Wake, president of the State lemperance union said: "Governor Mor rill is evidently for resubmission. He says he is for the Gothenberg system and would have us give up our constitu tional amendment which prohibits the sale of liquor as a beverago and place a state saloon in every community where any person can buy as much as he wants to drink. "When our present law was enacted I favored a law giving the state the control of the sale of nil liquors for the specified purposes under the constitution, but Governor Morrill would have us give up our constitutional enactment and sea it as a beverage once more. The bill 1 favored would take the sale of liquor for medical, scientific and mechanical pur poses out of the hands of the druggists and make a state agent in every com munity the salesman. "The temperance people will not fa vor Governor Morrill's scheme, as they would have to repeal the constitutional amendment before they could get tbe Gothenberg system, and it would only be a question of time until we would find ourselves back under the old license sys tem." EX-GOVERNOR ST. JOHN'S SPEECH. The Foremost Prohibitionist Severely le Mnnwi Gsv. Morrill' Idea. Ex-Governor John P. St John for over an hour last night entertained an au dience of about 1500 people at Hamilton hall by criticising Governor Morrill and the governor's new ideas on the liquor question. As soon as the local Prohibition party committee learned that ex-Governor St John was coming to Topeka, they an nounced a meeting to be held at the court house to be addressed by him, but when the ex-governor arrived yesterday and learned of Governor Morrill's inter view on the Gothenberg 6ystem, the plans were immediately remodeled and it was arranged for the meeting at Ham ilton hall. Ex-Governor St John was never any more ready to talk than last night, and the entire audience cheered him as he walked to the front of the stage to open his address. He started out by giving a history of the enactment of the prohibitory law, and said: "From that day to this there has been more or less opposition to the enforcement of that law, but from the day of adoption down to the present hour the law has been growing mora In favor with the decent, law-abiding, loyal citi zens of the state, f Applause. "I do not mean that all who nnnoso'it are neither decent nor loyal. But 1 do desire to say they are either ignorant or ;re prejudiced. I know whereof I speak. I have had 'em both and had 'em bad,too. "1 tnins it will be admitted that ex- Governor John A. Martin was at least an honest man. You who are familiar with Kansas history know that no man was more persistent and in earnest in his opposition to the adoption of the prohibition amendment, nan John A. Martiu. 'He was at last convinced that prohi bition was a good thing and he had the sense, patriotism and common fairness to say so to the people of the state." He then read trom Governor Martin s ;nessage to the legislature in which the prohibitory law was commended as a lessing to the people and to the state. He then read from Gevernor Hum phrey's message in which he, also, told of the good effect th9 prohibitory law had on the commonwealth. When he got to Governor Lewelling's administration he said: "Governor Lew eliing made no attempt to repeal the law and made no recommendation to repeal the law, but declared in favor of the pro hibitory law. low can any man who takes an oath to obey the law turn around and in face of that oath condemn the law. Hut Governor Lewelling in faoe of that allowed the saloons to run wide open and made no attempt to enforce the law. He was con demned by the people of the state as will every man be, who violates his oath of office. Cheers. "I am a friend of Governor Morrill. I am a friend of many men who don t know how to keep hotel. I am a friend of many men who don t :know how to make a watch. 1 am a friend of soma men who don't know how to ride a horse, and 1 am a friend of some who try to ride two." .Laughter.! He then opened up on Governor Mor rill by reading from his message to the legislature, in which he said, referring to tne proniDitorv law: "In 1881, 1885 and 1837 laws were passed for the enforcement of the pro hibitory amendment; three legislatures have since beeu elected and no attempt has been made to repeal or essentially modify these laws. it is therefore, fair to assume that the people desire this to be tne settled policy of the state." He then read from the governor's cel ebrated public sentiment interview in which the governor said: "Experience has fully demonstrated that enforcement of any law in opposition to the pro nounced sentiment of the community can not long be successfully accomplished." Then he continued: "In my judgment these words were the most unfortunote for the state that ever fell from the lips of a governor of Kansas. Thev encour age anarchy, wink at lawlessness and have a tendency to breed a disregard for ail law. "What if Prea'dent Lincoln had said in 1861 'We have got to let the south go: we can't enforce the law down there where public sentiment is against it?' "What if Grant had telegraphed Lin coln, when he got down south, that he found public sentiment in that, 'commun ity' opposed to the laws of the govern ment and, therefore, had given up the struggle? We would today have had a divided country, one-half of it slaves. But Grant was not made of that kind of material. His answer to the local senti ment was 'I'll fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." Then the ex-governor took from the table at his side a copy of last evening's Statu Journal, containing Governor Morrill's interview on the Gothenberg system, and he read it paragraph at a time with comments as he went along. He said "Governor Morrill is a tem perance man. He says he is. When ever a man takes pains to tell me that he is a temperance man I'll watch him. Governor Morrill is doing the best he can. He went into office bucked and gagged. His party behind him, with such leaders as Matt Quay, gave him orders. They said, 'You have got to get Kansas into line. We can't have a whisky Republican party in Missouri and a Prohibition Republi can party ia Kansas "The governor says the prohibition law can't be enforced, therefore we ought to have a state dispenser of liquor. We have a law in this state against murder, yot people keep on committing murder. Perhaps we ought to have a Bt;-.to dispenser of murder. Turn a lot of bullies loose with clubs. 'We havo law ia this state against the spread of infectious diseases. Yet dis eases are spread. Perhaps we ought to have a disease dispenser. Suppose Gov ernor Morrill should commission a state itch dispenser who would be authorized to dispense the seven year itch to all ex cept children and chronic scratchers." (Lrughtei W hen he got to where Governor Mor rill referred to Theodore Roosevelt in hi3 interview, Governor St. John eaid: "If Theodore Roosevelt can close the sa loons in a city like New York for one day, and declare he can keep them closed six days if he is given a law for it, can any person believe Governor Morrill cannot enforce the law in a little village of 10,600 or 20,000 inhabitants. The time will come when they shall be closed." Applause. Just before he closed his speech Gov ernor St John said: "I want to offer a resolution for your consideration. 'Resolved, That this meeting condemn the proposition of Governor Morrill to adopt the Gothenberg or any other sys tem of state control of the liquor traffic." About three fourths of the audience voted in favor of the resolution and there were no "nays." DEATH LIST GROWS. Victim of tha Baltimore Theater Panlo Mujr Reaeh Thirty br Nleht. Baltimore, Dec. 28. The horror at the Front street theater last night is in creased rather than abated by today's developments. The list of identified dead has grown to 27 and two or three more who are lying in the city hospital are so desperately in jured that their names may serve to swell tha death roll ere another night has passed.

THE EAGLE SCREAMS InClearlyDeiined NotesThrough Mr. Kirkpatrick's Letter. Tells tbe Wall Street Fellows to Sail for Europe. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Dec. 28. The cringing, subservient attitude of the bankers and brokers in New York during the late war flurry is already well known but no better sample of it could be found than a printed circular letter which was sent to the members of congress by Diinock Co., bankers and brokers of New York. The letter could hardly have been more British if written on the other side of the water, and it3 whole tone is a slur upon the patriotic sentiment of the Amer ican people. Congressman Kirkpatriek considered the circnlar so insolent and un-American that he replied to it in a vigorous let ter. Here are some of the statements in the letter of Dimock Co.: "It is not clear upon what principle we are entitled to interfere with England's relations with a neighbor on a continent in which she has an interest, and in which we have none," "Before we establish a protectorate over a distant continent possessing an area about twice that of the United States, we should seriously consider the size of the contract. Would our respon sibilities end with the savages of Pata gonia? Oaly forty miles separate us from Asia, and using Washington as a center, the radius vector which takes in South America also includes the most of Siberia, Africa, Greenland, etc. Why not extend our protectorate to the "dark con tinent,'" arrogate to ourselves the right to finally determine the title to the Pyra mids and demand for the American eagle the exclusive right to roost upon the north pole. The spirit of the Monroe doctrine has nothing to do with the Ven ezuelan question, although it might be invoked in aid of the struggling Cubans." "We have alienated our best customer, our largest creditor and our banker; our gold is leaving us, and our securities tumbling about our ears. The govern- meat credit is in peril and unless there is a radical change in the trend of events it can only be maintained through the Immediate sale to our own people of U. S. bonds, in amount sufficient to absorb the floating greenbacks. Then the trouble will fall upon the banks. The other alternative, of course, is suspen sion of specie payments." Congressman Kirkpatriek s reply is addressed to Messrs. Dimock lie Co., Aew lork. and says: "Gentlemen: "1 have tbe honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication, in which you assume to criticise the re cent manly and patriotic message of the 1 resident of the United States to con gress, touching the disputed boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana, as well as congress and the people for their patriotic acceptance of the same, and in reply thereto permit me to say: "A banking firm whose patriotism can not rise above mere stocks and securities in a great national question like this, and whose vision is so blinded by the thought of possible loss tnat it cannot understand why the Lnited states should be con cerned ia this controversy, solely because the territory lu dispute is not claimed by it, is hardly capable of advising, much less criticising the acts of those whose hearts are swelled with tho patriotic blood coursing their veins. "I have never before read a com munication from one enjoying the privi leges and blessings of an American citizen, and protected by our hag, so totally void of patriotism. The British premier himself, in answer to Mr. Olney's note, does not advance the claim for his government that you are so anxicus to concede. "Had the American people possessed no more courage and patriotism than is manifested in your communica tion, our possessions on this continent would be insignificant indeed. And if the American people should be controlled by the advice contained in your letter our possessions would dimin ish until our great government would be a thing of the past- "I note that you also suggest that be fore proceeding we should carefully con sider the size of the contract, eta Allow me to assure you that this matter had due consideration at our hands but in that consideration the matters that seem to be dear to your heart (stocks and se curiuesi uaa out uttie weignt. it was the possible loss of human life that con cerned us most. "We by no means underestimated the fearful consequence that might result from our determination to preserve the honor and dignity of this nation, and with a full knowledge of these terrible consequences, our patriotism and devo tion to our country, gave us courage to stand for tbe rignt "The edict has gone forth, not another foot of territory on this continent shall be acquired by any foreign monarch, either by conquest, purchase or other wise, and the crowned head that at tempts it must fight, notwithstanding the depressing effect this might causo stocks and securities. "I do not anticipate a conflict betwe this country and Great Britain, but if it must come allow me to assure you that 1 have no doubt as to the result nor do I underestimate the magnitude of the struggle. If you are skeptical on this subject as your letter would indicate that you are, I would advise you to pack your holdings and cross over to the other side and join Ambassador Bayard and sing praises to Great Britain the remainder of your days. Yours respectfully. "a. a. h-IRKPATBICK. KANSAS PENSIONS. Washington, D. C. IDec. 23. The following Kansans havej been granted pensions: Original John A. l-asle. Abilene: Patrick Finn, Nat'l.

Thi reports cabled over here that the United States commis sion, which will inquire into the bound ary question is expected to include ex- Minister J. Phelps, and ex-il mister Robt. Lincoln, have given satisfaction. 1 he gentlemen spoken of are referred to here as being entitled to tne greatest re spect and as furnishing the assurance that they will deal with the matter in a spirit of most perfect impartiality. The general feeling in connection with this feature of the question is expressed in the utterance of a London newspaper which says: "We might as soon expect to see Lord Kuesell of (Kiilowen or Mr. James Bryce lend himself to jingo in trigue as see man like Mr. Phelps or Mr. Lincoln sit on tne commission witn any intention but that of getting at facts."

State Bank Commissioner Breidenthal today issued a call for a statement of the condition of all the state and private banks in Kansas at the close of business Decembers!. 1ST MADE OUT. Sheriff Kepley Appoints Subordinate Officers. His Albert Lucas Named for the Important Post OF UNDER SHERIFF. Frank Leech is Made Jailer, John 13. Jones Assistant. S. Kuykendall is First Deputy Sheriff. Following ia the list or Sheriff-elect Kepley's appointees as authoritatively announced: Under sheriff, Albert Lucas. First deputy, A Kuykendall. Jailer, Frank Leech. Assistant jailer, John B. Jones. Superintendent of the stone yard, Larry Sheehan. It will be seen from this list that the Republicans are given the big end of the appointments. Lucas, Kuykendall and Jones are Republicans; Leech is a a Populist and Sheehan is a Democrat. The under sheriff will receive $75 a month and the tirst deputy will probably be paid the same amouut. 1 tie jailer and superintendent of the stone yard receive $50 and the assistant jailer $40. Bert Lucas is well known among the crowd of younger politicians, and is a Bon of Policeman Lucas, f ie is a mem ber of, and steward, of the Elks, and was one of Kepley's earnest supporters. He is very popular among his friends, and is obliging and polite. He ought to make a good officer, and there is no reason to think that he will not. Ihe appointment will prove very satisfactory to the law yers, whose business with tue ottice is transacted almost entirelv through the uudersheriff. Some people have persisted in the be lief that Sergeant Frank Ellisun, of the present police force, would be given the appointment, but Mr. Kepley has not thought seriously of appointing him for sometime. The policemen who have been bidding for Ellison's place on the force may as well withdraw their appli cations. Ellison intends to be -a candi date for sheriff himself in two years and Mr. Kepley says he did not care to take a man into his office to groom for his of fice, although he himself does not ex pect to be a candidate for re-election. A. j.uvkendall is a colored man. He was deputy sheriff under Wilkerson and was an excellent officer. His experience in the office will be a valuable aid to Mr. Kepley. J? rank .Leech, who ia to be jailer. lives in Mission towaship. He ia a Methodist and teaches a Sunday school class. Ha is oue of the most prominent of the Populists in the county, and is chairman of the central committee. He is a pleasaut agreeable gentleman. John B. Jones is the colored Third ward politician. John is always after office and by some hook or crook he gen erally gets it. He is a persistent worker at the polls and no doubt did Kepley some good. .Larry Sheehan is the only Democrat on the list. He comes from the Second ward where Democrats are numerons and he is popular with the members of tho party. I a ken as a whole it is fair to say that the appointments are very good ones and they will be disappointing to Mr. Kep ley's enemies. lie says that he has se lected men with whom he is to be sur rounded without any desire to secure his re-election under any circumstances. "I would be blind to the truth," said he, "if I did not realize that I would not have been elected except for Republican votes and they deserve some of the of fices. This has been the most difficult thing I ever undertook. There were so many good men who wanted places that 1 have had tbe hardest time in the world to decide." PUBLIC L1JBRAUY BENEFIT. The Illustrated Story What Is It The event of tho seasen will be the presentation of the pictured romance, Once L pun a time, in Library hail, Saturday Evening, January 4lh. It is recommended to the Topeka pub lic as one ot the most artistic entertain ments ever offered here. The story itself is beautifully written, and abounds in bright and amusing inci dents, and while read by Miss Black- stone, who imitates the different voices of the characters, the stereoptican pro sents each scene, making the effect that of a play, in which the players move and speak. "bo graphic is the illustration that a man stone deaf could follow every detail of the story as it appears upon the huge canvass. Prof. F, W. Rich of Lombard univer sity, presents the views with the fine stereopticau belonging to that institution. The characters being photographed from life, make the pictures wonderfully true to nature and give one the impres sion of having been present with the living actors in this pretty romance. Many of the pictures are exquisitely colored. Souvenir tickets contain a picture of the characters. Admission SO cents. X. Y.Weckly Kaak xntement. New York, Dec. 28.

Railroad Presidents Iladly Startled by 9forrison?s Letter to Harmon. Chicago, Dec. 28. The Times-Herald this morniug says: The action of Chair man Morrison of the interstate commerce commission in sending to the senate yes ter a copy of a letter to the attorney general deolaring the joint traffic agreement in conflict with provision of the interstate commerce law, and calling upon the district attorney fo the southern district of New York to institute proceedings by injunction or otherwise to prevent its being carried into effect, fell like a bomb among in terested Chicago railroad officials. While none of them are directly interested in framing the agreement; all the presi dents of the trunk lines residing in the east have been making provisions lor weeks to carry it into effect, and since the first intimation just after the agree ment was signed that it might be con sidered illegal, no question of its being in accord with law nas arisen. Ibis belief was strengthened by dis patches in which Chairman Morrison was quoted as saying it could not legally be neld in advance ot tne operation or the agreement that it is illegal. Never doubting that it would become operative January 1, officials have been preparing to work under it. The reorganization of the Central Traffic Association practically has been effected. Passenger Commissioner Don ald, it was expected, would be head commissioner of a new passenger as sociation which was in process of for mation. Freight commissioner McKuight was to have been tbe head of a new freight association. Lines never before associated with Central Traffic Associa tion roads were to join these new asso ciations, thereby adding strength to the local situation. Aow all are at sea, and no knowB where to turn. It is an open secret that for the last six weeks rates on eastbound business have been demoralized. With every cut was associated the fact that the presi de a '.'s agreement was to become effect ive the first of the year, and it was hint ed that the reductions were made in or der that percentages might ba evened up and all start on an squat footing under the new agreement. That the old com pact was being violated, railroad men admitted. Now that the new one is de clared inoperative because illegal, the rates situation becomes serious. A COLII HAVE COMING. It Will Reach Kansas by Tomorrow Slight, It is Promised. According to the reports of the weather bureau a cold wave will sweep over Kan sas and the western states tomorrow night, a fall in the temperature of twen ty "degrees being predicted by tomorrow evening. The regular forecast sent out today states that showers will fall in Kansas tonight and tomorrow. This ia in dicated by the partial cloudiness which extends throughout the state, partly cloudy and cool weather being reported along all the lines of the Santa Fe and Rock Island this after noon. In Colorado, Texas and New Mexico, the weather is much the same as it is in Kansas. In Topeka, although the sky is cloudy, the air is warm and the remaining snow is melting fast. BLUE IS ONE.

Christian Armenians Living: Off Refuse Grain, and Thousands Slain. Boston, Dec. 28. A correspon dent writing from Constantinople concerning the recent Turkish atrocities in Asia Minor says that at Arabkir 2,000 Christians were killed and wounded and that out of some 2,000 houses of Christians, fully three quarters were burned. "Into the remaining houses," the writer states "are huddled several thousand survivors who are living on tha refuse grain rescued from their burned houses. The scenes of the worst periods of Saracenic invasion lu the seventh century have been repeated over and over. Thousands of Armenian Christians have been forced to accent Mohammediam at the point of the sword. Christian women without number have been carried off to the harems of Kurds and Turks.

Johnson AS THEIR LEADER For Chairman of Republican State Committee. Gov. Osborn Retires in Favor of Johnson. Judge J. B. Johnson of Topeka has been selected as the man to make the race for national committeeman against Cy Leland by the Republican leaders of Kansas. It has been understood for some time that ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn would be (he man, but the anti-Leland elements could not be united as compact ly as wished for on Governor Osborn, and he has now agreed to step to one side and support Judge JohnBon for national committeeman. This matter was definitely settled yes. terday ic Kansas City, Mo.,when about fifty Kansas Republican leaders repre senting all parts of the state held a meet ing at the Wisconsin club house and thoroughly discussed the situation. At this meeting nothing was said about opposition to Governor Morrill or any member of the present state adminis tration, but the one object discussed was "How to beat Cy Leland," and keep him out of the national convention and off the National Republican committee next year. It was decided to make the fight to put Judge Johnson at the head of tha Kansas delegation to the national con vention as delegate at large and then to make him the Kansas member of the national committee.

2 STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING DECEMBER 28, 1895. BOND BILL TALK. It was Extensively Discussed in the House Yesterday Democrats and Populists United Against the Measure. VIGOROUS OPPOSITION Evening Session Held to Discuss It More Thoroughly. Eadical Concessions Forced from the Bond Issue Men. Washisgios, Deo. 28. The House yesterday entered upon the consider ation of the bond bill. The bill aroused the opposition of the Democrats and Populists, the gold Democrats beinfr arrayed against it because they claimed it did not give the Secretary the au thority to issue gold bonds, with which he desired to replenish the re serve, and the silver Democrats on the ground of their general opposition to bond issues. The latter contended that the raids on the Treasury could be stopped if the Secretary would use his discretion to redeem notes in silver when the reserve was threatened. In the Republican ranks also there developed such bitter opposition to the bill as originally drawn and to the proposition to force the bill to a vote yesterday that the Republican mem bers of the committee on ways and means incorporated it in an amend ment specifically declaring that noth ing in the act should be construed as a modification or repeal of the act of 187o for the reissue of the greenbacks when redeemed, and the committee on rules extended the limit of debate until to-day at- 3 o'clock, but declined to give the members of the House op portunity to offer amendments. The feature of the day was a strong speech from Mr. Johnson of California, appealing to his Republican colleagues to vote against the bilL He scored the Republican leaders for bringing in the bill. He said that he had voted for the revenue measure under pro test, but he refused to follow them on the present bill. Political expediency, which involved a surrender of princi ple, he declared, would never succeed. The debate ran far into the night. The principle speeches were made by Messrs. Dingley of Maine and Grosve iior of Ohio (Republicans) and Messrs. Turner of Ueorgia and Patterson of Tennessee (Democrats). At the evening session, which con tinued until 10 o'clock, the debate was continued, the speakers being Mr. Wheeler, Democrat, of Alabama; Mr. Wilson, Republican, of Idaho; Mr. Gibson, Republican, of Tennessee; Mr. De Armond, of Missouri; Mr. Hender son, of Iowa, and others. Mr. De Armond, in opposing the bill, said that AlcKinleyism was mis nomer. From what he had heard of the construction of the McKinley bill, it should have been named after the man whose genius had controlled the destinies of the Fifty-first congress and would shape those of the Fifty fourth. The purpose of this bill was to issue bonds, to contract the curren cy at the will of the secretary of the treasury, to lower the price of wheat and raise that of bonds, to reduce the wages of those who toil and increase the incomes of the jobbers in money. "Shall we one day," he concluded, "flaunt defiance in the face of Eng land and the next day bow submission to the financial policy of the mistress of the seas? This is a bill to perpetu ate the gold standard." "Did yon entertain your silver views before the last election?" asked Mr. Dovener, Republican, West Virginia. "I did." "You were elected by 2,000 in 1892. What was your majority in 1894?" "Exactly 93," replied Mr. DeAr mond, sharply, "and a gentleman who has no more idea of the propriety of debate than to interrupt a gentleman with a suggestion no weightier than yours, certainly got here by too many, if his majority was only one vote." (Uproarious Democratic applause.) Mr. Tarsney of Missouri, charged the Republicans with shirking their responsibility. The passage of this bill would not relieve, but would ag gravate the present embarrassment of the treasury. The bill was in effect simply a proposition to reduce the interest on bonds, the authorization for which was already provided by law. The root of the evil was the greenback, and the existence of the greenback in our currency sys tem would not be affected by this bill. Personally, he had no horror of a bond issue. Whether in war or in peace be stood here to do his duty. He would vote for bonds whenever the credit, welfare and honor of the country de manded it. Biff Pay for Senators' Relatives. Washington, Dec. 28. A bill was Introduced by Doolittle, of Washing ton, appropriating $8,300 to R. H.

Dun Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The failures of the fourth quarter and the year 1895, not yet finished, cannot be definitely stated, but the aggregate of deferred liabilities for the year, while much smaller than in 1893, will vary but little from that of 189i. The years' aggregate of com mercial liabilities will probably be about $170,000,000 in manufacturing, or 10 per cent more than last year, but in trading about $8o, 000,030, or 9 per cent less than last year. The foreign and financial messages of the President were followed Dy vio lent reaction in the stock market last Saturday, with grave fears of mon etary trouble. The sudden panic checked business in many depart ments, and the industries cannot be expected to show signs of improve ment until the new year begins. Or ders have for months been so much smaller than they were in the sum mer, when production was expanding and prices mounting rapidly, that new causes of uncertainty have the more influence. Wheat and cotton were depressed by last week's panic and have had little time to recover. Wheat receipts continue enormous for the week 3,794,072 bushels, against 1,712,908 last year and Atlantic exports, flour in cluded, have been 7,526,960 bushels in four weeks of December, against 7,763,690 last year. Failures for the week have been 322 in the United States, against 350 last year, and forty in Canada, against forty-one last year. Hank Clearings. New York, Dec 28.

Bill's Resolution Precipitates a Debate in the Upper House. Washington, Dec. 28. The Senate was enlivened yesterday by a spirited and somewhat personal debate, in which Mr. Hill of New York and Mr. Teller of Colorado were the principal figures. The New York Senator pre cipitated consideration of the bond question by offering a resolution di recting that future bond issues to re new the gold reserve should bear a pro vision that they would be payable in gold or silver at the option of the holder. In support of this bill Mr. Hill read a speech setting forth the difficulties of negotiating bonds under the uncertainties of the present law. Mr. Teller's reply to Mr. Hill was cutting, sarcastic and personal. He repudiated and protested against the efforts of the President and his "tide waiters" to defame the credit of the United States. He spoke of the recent visit to Washington of a (Treat New York banker as one of those who had participated in the "dishonorable or imbecile" bond transaction of last year. The galleries were crowded during the debate, and the Senators as well as spectators keenly enjoyed the caustic tilt. Mr. Allen of Nebraska added his protest to that of Mr. Teller against the defamation of our national credit. No final action on the Hill resolution was taken. Havana Still In Suspense. Havana, Dec 23. The excitement which has prevailed here since the in surgent army under Gomez and Maceo entered the province of Matanzas con tinues to-day, and is heightened by the meagerness of the news from the front.

Panic Caused by Flaring Gas and a Cry of Fire. TEN FATALLY HURT. Attendance at Jewish Opera Ends Disastrously. Men, Women and Children Suf focated in the Rusk. Baltimore, Dec 28. In a senseless panic caused by a defective gas burner and a foolish cry of fire, at the old Front Street theater last night, twenty-four people were killed, two fatally Injured, and ten more seriously hurt. Up to 1 o'clock this morning, but four of the dead had been identified. Almost all of the victims are of Polish nativity and Hebraic extrac tion, and many of the injured were taken to their homes by friends, ren dering it almost impossible to get a complete list at this time. The theater, which is probably the oldest in the city, was filled from pit to dome with people who had assem bled to listen to Hebrew opera, which has been given in the old house twice a week for the past month. The ticket office receipts show that over 2,700 tickets had been sold when, at S o'clock, the sale of seats was stopped because there were no more left. General admission tickets were sold, however, after this, and it was sup posed that there were at least 3,000 people within the walls when the cur tain went ur on the first act. As the capacity of the house is less than 2,500, the density of the crowd may be imagined. Ten minutes after the curtain rose, one of the attendants went up to the second tier to light a gas jet which ap peared to have been extinguished. As he turned the cock and applied a match it was seen that there was no tip to the burner. The jet was well down toward the stage on the left side of the house, in plain view of the greater part of the audience, but as the glare from it showed against the wall, some one in the gallery shouted "Fire! Fire! Fire"' In an instant there was a mad scramble for the door, in which the whole audience took part. The van guard of the terror-stricken multitude reached the entrance on Front street, pushed on by the howling, shrieking mob behind them. There, those in the foremost rank were compelled to turn to the right and to the left to reach the double entrance way, built in the form of a storm door. Passing through these doors, they reached a flight of steps, leading from each door, downward to a landing, from whence a broad stairway of moderate height would have carried them into the street and to safety. As the crowds from the two doors, one on the right, the other on the left, reached the landing they met. There was a brief struggle, and then some one lost his or her footing and fell. In a moment the crowd, pushed with irresistable force from the rear, crowded over the prostrate form, and began, in turn, to stumble, reel, and presently to fall prone upon the floor under the myriads of feet coming like a herd of frightened buttalo Ham be hind. In less time than it takes to tell it, the landing was packed twenty or thirty deep with the panic-stricken multitude, and the hundreds behind them were struggling over them to reach the street. When the mass on the landing had been cleared, the frightened mob in side were quitted down sufficiently to enable the police to clear the theater. Then it was found that there had been no danger and that not a soul would have been injured had the audience but remained seated. Nine bodies -were taken to the morgue, all of them dead from suffoca tion. Of those taken to the city hos pital, fifteen are dead. Two more will probably die and ten are desper ately hurt. The confusion at both places is indescribable, and up to mid night only four of the dead had been identified. The dead are of all ages, from mere infants to grayhaired men and wo men. All were killed or injured in the terrific crush on the fatal landing, not a casualty having happened inside the house, although the crush there was tremendous. Justice Brewer Called to Washington. San Antonio, Tex., Dec 23. Asso ciate Justice Brewer, who has been spending several weeks here for the benefit of his daughter's health, left for Washington last night. The sud denness of his departure, coupled with the fact that a few days ago it was his intention to remain here sev eral weeks longer, strengthened the belief that he has bean offered a place on the Venezuelan boundary com mission and that he has left for Wash ington in response to a telegram from the President.

REPORTS ABOUT CORBETT Bis Retirement Said to Have Been Cansed by Physical and Mental Collapse. New York, Dec. 28. Among sport ing men here the report is current that James J. Corbett, the erstwhile champion pugilist, has good reason for quitting the prize ring. It is said that he is physically unable to stand a severe course of training, and that, should he re-enter the ring, he would be a mark for any class heavyweight. According to a friend of Corbett, the gib fellow is going the same road traveled by p oor Jack Dempsey. Ihe nrst to recognize the trouble is said to have been "Billy" Brady, who is now on his way to Australia. Brady, it is said, knew that Corbett s method of life was the cause of his trouble, and at least a year ago warned him that a phvsical, as well as a mental collapse, would be inevitable if he did not face squarely about. Let ters in which Corbett acknowledged his mistakes are said to be in exist ence. In them he promised to reform, but if the reports of his present condi tion are true, he certainly has failed to make good his promise. LATIN-AMERICAN LEAGUE.

The committee decided to report the Mc Call resolution in a modified form. As agreed on, it calls upon the President for information as to the alleged ut terances of Mr. Bayard, and the cor respondence on the subject. The res olution is very much tamed down and made mild in comparison to what it was when introduced. It was thought that in view of present circumstances it would be much better to make the resolution simply one of inquiry. Where Russia Stands. Berlin, Dec. 28.

Hahlo, of Butte, Mont., who are making a bridal tour of the Pacific coast, are stepping at the Port land. They were married at Spokane recently, where the bride, well-known in society circles of that city as Miss Fisher, has lived for several years. Her father is a prominent furrier of that plaee. Mr. Hahlo is a prosperous mer chant of Butte and has a large circle of friends in the northwest. The next morning Mr. and Mrs. Hahlo met with a curious mishap at the Union depot in Spokane, where they were to take the Great Northern sleeping car for this city over the Oregon Railway and Navi gation company's line. The Oregon Railway and Navigation company's train and the Great Northern train leave the depot within three minutes of each other, one bound for the east, the other for thi3 city. Mrs. Hahlo, ac companied by some friends, went to the depot without Mr. Hahlo, who was to join her before the train left. He had been delayed up town by some business arrangement. Mrs. Hahlo, by mistake, got aboard the Great North ern train, east-bound. Mr. Hahio ar rived at the depot and, supposing that his bride was safely aboard the Great Northern sleeper, on the Oregon Rail way and Navigation company's train, stepped aboard just as the train was pulling out of the station. Going into the sleeper Mr. Hahlo soon discovered that his wife was not on the train. Im mediately, to draw it mild, he got con siderably excited. The train had gone several miles before he had made up his mind the best thing he could do would be to get off and walk back to Spokane. Meantime Mrs. Hahlo was having aa interesting time. When the Great Northern train pulled out of f depot for the east and her husban had not joined her in the sleeper, she sent for the conductor, who soon discovered she was on the wrong train. A few miles east of Spokane the Great Northern track crosses the Northern Pacific track. There Mrs. Hahlo was handt-il off the train and fortunately caught a Northern Pacific train back to Spokane within a few minutes. Ar riving at Spokane she met her husband. Explanations were exchanged and everybody was happy again in a very shdrt time. Subsequently Mr. and Mrs. Hahlo got on the right train together and arrived in this city. Managing a Danchter. 1.

Her dressmaker will sue if you don't, 4. If she takes a fancy to any man you don't want her to marry, tell her your heart is set on her marrying him and swear she shall never marry any other. You can then give her a free hand and she wouldn't have him if he was the only man left. 6. If there is any man you want her to marry kick him out of your house, forbid the servants to admit him, dis tribute man-traps and spring-guns and bull-dogs all around your grounds, lock her in her room and vow if she marries him you won't leave her a penny. You will not have to wait long after that for the elopement, 6. If she has no voice encourage her to sing whenever you give a party. It wi!l attract attention to her and give your guests an excuse for compliment ing her. Never mind the neighbors. 7. If you are a poor man teach your daughter how to dance and play the piano.

Few women realize that the skin must be fed as well as the body; for if not it will become dry and wrinkled and look like old cracked leather. To omit washing the face at night is a great mistake; on retiring this is really of more importance than it is in the morning. It should be bathed in warm water and dried, gently but thor oughly. Then take some good emolli ent, such as English cold cream or fra grant creme Beatrice, and rub it faith fully with the fingers until all of it is quite absorbed: the hands, neck and arms should be treated in the same manner. If these directions are care fully followed the skin will retain its youthful softness and the face its plumpness of contour long after middle age is passed. Godey's Magazine.

STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 28, 1895. 3 WICHITATHIEVES. Seven Houses Burglarized There in One Nirht. A Gang of CounterfeitersCaugh t at Pittsburg. A KANSAS INTENTION. Three Bad Boys Arrested for Burglary at Abilene. Lawrence Man Wants the"Home Guard" Pensioned. Wichita, Dec. 2a Wichita is filled -ith bnrglars, and as a consequence even houses were entered by, men fol lowing this profession on Christmas night. Only one burglar has been captured bo far. and that was .William Burke, who entered the residence of T. J. Rogers. Other houses that were entered were those of E. W. Walker, 31rs. Nelson Mc Clees, a Sirs. Hendricks, and H. Gettings. The burglaries were evidently commit ted by professionals, but none were very successful in the matter of rich hauls, for only small change and jewelry were taken. GAS FARM MACHINERY. J. A. Bockett of Sterling Ha Invented a Gas Motor for Threshing Machine. Eteri.ino, Dec. 28. James A. Hockett of this city has an invention to apply the motor principle to threshing machines and other large machines formerly pro pelled by horses or steam. For many years he has been at work on an improved gasoline engine, which is claimed to possess several advantages over any other gasoline engine yet in vented. His aim was to make the en gine light in construction, economical in fuel and reasonable in price, and he has been entirely successful. About two years ago he applied this improved engine to a carriage, and it worked to perfection, but not satisfied with this he constructed and operated a lG-horse power engine in connection with a threshing machine. This machine is built upon much the same plan as an or dinary steam threshing machine. The motor is under and between the largo drive wheels, and motion is transmitted from a cog wheel to the outside machin ery by a chaia resembling those on a bicycle, but much larger and stronger. It does not require as many hands to operate this machine successfully as a Steam thresher does, and the great sav ing of fuel is another strong point in its favor. It has been thoroughly tested in practical operations this last fall, and has proven everything that has been claimed lor ir. A company, composed partly of Kan sas capitalists, has been organized, aud r.ext year will place the "liockett gaso line traction, engine" upon the market. AMATEUR BURGLARS.

According to a friend of Corbett, the big fellow is going the same road traveled by poor Jack Dempsey. The first to recognize the trouble is said to have been "Billy" Brady, who is now on his way to Aus tralia. Brady, It is said, knew that Corbett's method of life was the cause of his trouble and at least a year ago warned him that a physical as well as a mental collapse would be inevitable if he did not face squarely about. Letters in which Corbett acknowledged his mis take are said to be in existence. In them he promised to reform bnt if the reports of his condition are true he certainly has failed to make good his promise. HARRY C. CLARK'S RECORDS.

Wheat There was a better feeling when the bell tapped for the opening this morning, and although the market was not active by any means, yet there was an excellent demand for long wheat and prices gradually worked upward and show symptoms of developing into a strong advancing market. From present situation we can see nothing but a higher range of prices af ter the dull holidays are gone, and the trade will then take a sensible view of the situation. There is undoubtedly a heavy short interest in both wheat and corn that will be forced to cover in case of the market develop ing strength. The coveriug will probably commence immediately after the holidays and will influence the mar ket 5 or 10 cents per bushel and will probably b- the starting of a big ad vance ca. duplicate the one last spring, situation is much stronger :ib a year ago. Liver pool w'ifia: is 16 cents higher than a year ago while our market is lower. Export demand is very good and gradually improving as each day goes by. We have not a bushel of wheat to spare for export, yet nearly 4 million bu shels went out this week ana over 3 million exported last week. Northwest ern receipts are rapidiy dwindling away and only 458 cars at Minneapolis and Duluth today compared with between 1,600 and two thousand cars a day less than a month ago. The price of cash wheat in the northwest is gradually ad vancing and one-half a cent (per bushel was added to the price at .Minneapolis yeBterday. Reports from Argentine say thht harvest is in full blast and heavy rains are doing untold damage to wheat fields. The wheat crop of the Austra lian Islands is a total failure, and they are drawing heavily on our Pacific coast supplies, and no doubt will exhaust those supplies before March 1st. Ex porters engaged 40 boat loads at New York today. The foreign holiday mark ets were quiet but very firm. Corn, oats and provisions all show signs of gradual improvement. Corn and oats will follow wheat, while the light run of hog3 is strengthening the pork market and a higher level in values of hog pro ducts is a foregone conclusion. Chlc.170 Market Gossip.

Another glove much worn by Frenchwoman who are obliged to wear long sleeves in the evening is the eight buttoned suedo without any opening. Still another style for evening wear, reported in the New York Snn, and one very becoming to plump white arms, is finished at the top with a plaited frill of fine lace set on with pearl trim ming. It is much used hy chronic opera goers. Suede is the thing for evening wear, though a few economically dis posed women buy glace. This is an Eng lish fashion. Now in France the wom en wear gloves to cover their hands, while in England and America they usually wear them to shape the hand. No well dressed Frenchwomen would ever be caught anywhere in glace kids. They always wear suede on all occa sions. At present there is a great de mand for glace gloves in America, but the various shades of red that have been so stylish for two years past are quite out of date. Soft neutral tones are used for the street. They go with everything, don't show soil and are easily cleansed. The street gloves have two buttons, which clamp instead cf buttoning, just as the fastenings on men's gloves do. They hold very securely, never come oS and rarely get out of order.

Vf. Smith in 1S92. The Republi cans tried stealing Populist thunder that year and gal their Sogers badly scorehed. It is reported that ban Francises !m porters are withdrawing their gauds from bond in anticipation ef the passage ef the Dingley tariff bill. There Is no seeasiea for sueh haste. That the senate will pass the bill Is extremely doubtful and that the president will sign it la wholly improbable. Ue refused te sign a tariff measure passed by his own party, and tnere is na reason to suppose he would approve a Republican bill. Blub and Caldsrhead, being in faver of the gold standard, aro naturally ex pected to vote fur an Issne ef bends. Ia fact they are reported as saying that they will do so. Bonds and the gold standard go together. Curtis, Broderiok, Miller and even Rirkpatrlck have announced their intention of voting for tha interests of their constituents. The people will remember the way each member of the delegation voted on the pending bond bill, next year. Senator H ill has Introduced reso lution making future issues of bonds pay able in either gold or silver at the op tion of the holder, instead of at the op' tion of the government, as the law now stands. Does the senator from New York think the people and tha members of congress are fools and oannot sea that this is an underhanded way of issuing gold bonds. David B. BUI is too big a man to indulge in petty fogging. Whv didn't he make his resolution say gold Donas at onoe, for that Is what it meana Nobody will be deceived by his wording BI lb CLE V ELAND'S FRIENDS DESERT. The New York Pos which ha3 been one of tha most devoted worshipers at the Cleveland shrine, has joined the band of wolves which is now ready to devour him because in an effort to square himself with the people and at the same time save the Democratic party from utter annihilation he sent a mas sage to congress which temporarily in terrupted the nicely adjusted arrange ment between the "financiers" of this country and of Europe for robbing the American people. From editorials of fawning praise the Post has turned to such expressions as the following: The puzzle of this is that in so doing be has ruined the cause to which he hag for the past three years rendered such noble service, and to which he- sacrificed nearly everything else, including civil service reform. In fact, he bids fair to go out of office with the reputation of a great financial wrecker. This previous cause referred to ia of aurse the cause of the gold standard, and here lies the secret of the Post's hange of heart. It says further: Whv. any blackguard can rise up and with perfect impunity make hia own ravings about foreign affairs the only true expression of patriotism, and the best men in the community will not dare to tell him that he is a repuUive donkey. The apprehended danger to the cansa of gold is again reverted to in the follow- og: To send in a fresh message calling at tention to the debris of his own explo- ion is now most pitiable. It ia pitiable not for the author, or authors, of it, but for the thousands of innocent men who have already been ruined by it and whose families will take their Christmas meal ia anguish instead of joy. The very word Christmas becomes a travesty in contemplation of it. ''Financiers" are like whisky dealers, they know no political principles except uch as put money in their pockets at whatever cost to the remainder of the community. They are Democrats one day and Republicans the next according to which pays better. The Post but voices their sentiments. They have got about all that is to be obtained from Cleveland and are abandoning him on the first excuse. A. L Green, private secretary to Congressman Blue is reported as saying that he believes Allison will be nomina ted for president, because he is in accord with western ideas. It would be worth knowing, what reason Jlr. Green has for supposing that a man in accord with western ideas can secure the nomination. At any rate Mr. Allison is not that man. If he should bo nominated it will rather be because he is a western man who is in accord with eastern ideas. The observation car which has just been completed at the Santa Fe shops suggests the possibility even the proba bility of more work of like character. If one such car can be constructed satis factorily and profitably, why cannot many more? The time when the groat Santa Fe system would manufacture all Its own cars here in Topeka has been looked forward to by many, and confi dently expected. Such an addition to the shops already here would mean much for Topeka. If McKinley had only kept as still last winter as he is doing now he might have been much nearer the presidential nomination than he is. There is noth- he can so well afford to do now as to pre pare his next summer's wood. Public at tention is riveted on his rival and nothing can divert it. Mr. Reed's attempt to rob him of his hobby, by securing an advance of tariff rates, is not likely to succeed. There is no Reed in command in the senate. This talk of Allison being a good man for the Republicans to nominate for president because he is "western," is tiresome. Allison may be western, but he ia the pupil of eastern financiers and the tool of gold conspirators. He out- Herods Herod in his financial beliefs. The fact that a man lives in the west doesn't make him immaculate. Handicapped. ICS- Dashaway Well, uncle, I suppose you will havo roast chicken for your Kow Year's dinner, eh Unle Ebony No, sah.

CIRUS HAKLIN ESTABLISHED Robert Collet;. t Constantinople In the Face of Great Opposition. i The fact does not seem to be generally recognized that the deplorable condition of affairs in the land of the sultan is of more than casual interest to Americana. That we have missionaries in that blood soaked laud and that these missionaries have been in mortal danger is generally recognized, but that these men and women who are threatened with death at the hands of the cruel Kurds and Turks who have already made the blood of the nations run cold with horror have done more to spread enlightened ideas through that dark empire than the rep resentatives of any other Christian na tion does not seem to have been fully realized. It is a fact, however. It was the American board of foreign missions that established the first mis sion in western Asia and from the same source have sprung the most important of the evangelical enterprises that are filowly but surely lifting the gloom from the country of the star and cres cent. The obstacles which the pioneerg of this movement met seemed almost insurmountable. The great majority of mm DR. CTRt'S HAMLIN. the millions of people under the rule of the sultan they found were Mohamme dans, who looked upon all others as infi dels and best converted to the true faith by the sword. They found that while legally any person was entitled to change his religions belief, practically be could do no such thing; that tho Turk who renounced tho faith of tho prophet at once became u social outcast and a subject for the most fanatical and cruel persecution. This was bad enough. Under these conditions it is not to bo wondered that so few Turks havo been converted, but that any should have been. Besides the Mohammedan there are 6evon other creeds recognized Greek, Armenian, Syrian, Maronite, Protestant, Jewish and Roman Catholic. The harmony between these is not great. Thus it was not a very promising field that the Rov. Dr. Cyrus Hamlin looked tipon when ho went there early in the fifties. To attempt to teach those people a new religion was purely out of the question. The way for that must first be prepared by educating them. Like bar barians, they must firEt bo civilized and Christianized afterward. With money furnished by Christopher Robert, a wealthy New York merchant, and with $30, 000 of his own, Dr. Hamlin endeav ored to establish a college, bnt such was the strength of the prejudice of the Turkish government that for eight years ho labored in vain. At last Admiral Farragnt sailed into the Bosporus with three big men-of-war and went ashore to pay his respects to the porte. Dr. Hamlin told Farragnt of the obstacles that had been thrown in his way, and the admiral said that he would see what he could do for him. The sultan looked at the big ships which floated the stars and stripes un der his palace windows, and he was much impressed. Ho invited the Ameri can admiral to a grand banquet in tha palace of the grand vizier. During the course of the entertainment Farragnt asked the sultan "Why has Dr. Hamlin been prevent ed from building a college in your coun try?" The answer made was an evasive one, but soon after a charter was granted by the terms of which a most beautifully Bituated plot of ground, overlooking Constantinople and the Bosporus was given to Dr. Hamlin. Afterward, when tho grand vizier was asked why the per mission had been granted to the Ameri cans, he replied in two words "Farragnt, warships." It was in 1863 that Robert college was built. Additions have been made since then and now three imposing buildings are occupied by Professor Washburn and his ablo corps of profess ors. As an illustration of the vast influ ence which this institution is exerting in all parts of the Turkish empire it is noted that in the national assembly of Bulgaria are no less than 40 graduates of Robert college. This institution now offers the advantages of a full college course to 225 students. Dr. Hamlin, who was the president of Robert college for nearly 20 years, finally retired from missionary work and returned to this country. In 1880 he be came president of Middlebury college at Middlebury, Vt. He is now 84 years old and lives at Lexington, Mass. He began his missionary work in 1838 and for nearly half a century labored in foreign lands. Another remarkable example of sno cess in the face of great opposition was the establishing of the American schools at Beirut. These were begun in 1830 by the Presbyterian board. At first there were only a handful of children, bnt to day tha schools, boarding schools and colleges founded there by Americana have no less than 15,000 scholars, and Beirut is recognized as the educational nmtroDolia of western Asia, WWf"V PLUCKY KADY BROWNELL. Ehe Is a Veteran of the War and a Mem ber of tUe Grand Army. Kady C. Brownell is a woman, bnt despite her sex ehe is a veteran of tho late war and a member of the Q. A. R. Her story came out very re cently when she applied for tho position of ma tron ia the New York park de partment. Mrs. Brownell was born in Africa and was the daughter of Colo nel Southwell of kady c. browneix. the British army. Relatives brought her to America when she was a child, and about the time the war began she was married to Robert S. Brownell. He enlisted for three months in the First Rhode Island volunteers, and she insisted npon accompanying him. Her hair was cut short, and she wore a bine blouse, a red skirt to the fenoes and gray trousers. She looked like a boy and marched by her .husband's eide, carrying the flag. "When wo were mustered in," he said recently, "her name was called off, and no one in authority noticed that sho was a woman. The men about hsr, however, were well aware of it end called her the "Daughter of the Regi ment." Ono day sho marched 36 miles, carrying the colors, and never lagged a step. At Bull Run, when the rout occur red, a soldier took her band to aid ber in oscaping, and a shell nearly severed his head. Another shell slightly wounded her in the leg, bnt she procured a horse and joined her husband the next day in Washington. At the end of three months she and her husband were mustered out in regular form through the influence of Governor Spragne, and a short time thereafter her husband became recruiting officer of the Fifth Rhode Island. Kady showed her honorable discharge and persuaded Colo nel Blanding, the regiment's command er, to allow her to enlist. She again went to the front, tearing the colors in numerous engagements and nursing the wounded. At Newbern, N. C, her company, while charging a battery, was mistaken for the enemy by the Fourth Rhode Island. Just as this regiment was preparing to pour a withering fire into the ranks of its own friends Kady ran forward with Old Glory and prevent ed an awful mistake. Sho was honorably discharged and pro cured a pension in 18S4 by special act of congress. Shs also holds mombership papers in tho Elias Howe post, G. A. R., department of Connecticut. Sho joined this post in 186? and is said to be the only woman who ever obtained full membership in the G. A. R. WISCONSIN'S DAIRY SCHOOL. I; Was the First One of tbe Kind In America and Is Tory Successful. Wisconsin has a very successful school where hundreds of young men have learned to make butter. It is called Hi ram Smith hall and is a part of the Uni versity of Wisconsin at Madison. It was named in honor of Hiram Smith, the veteran dairyman, who labored for years that it might be established. The school is a three story structure arranged for practical work and instruction in dairy ing. On the first floor in the large creamery room cheese is made and milk pasteurized. On the second floor is a farm dairy room and bathrooms, offices and lockers for the working clothes of the students. The third floor is occupied by labora tories and a lecture room. The exterior of the building reminds one of the rural structures along the Rhine. Beginning at the foundation a white brick wall ex tends upward for some distance and then gives way to artistio pebble and beam work. The building is well suited for the important work it carries on and represents an outlay of about $40,000. There are accommodations for 100 pa- DAIRY SCHOOL BUILDING, UNIVERSITY OP WISCONSIN. pils, and each year since the completion of the school more than that number havo applied for admission. Throughout tho year the creamery receives milk from 60 farms, but the school proper is in opera tion from January to March each year, the time when the young farmers may best be spared from the cheese factoriea and creameries where they find employ ment. The scheme of education is a practical one from the gronnd up. A young man most have had four months' experienco in a factory before he is allowed to en ter the school, and before he secures a dairy certificate from the state he must spend two years in factories. The school ha3 already educated over 400 pupils who are now directing creameries and cheese factories all over the United States. There are 2,500 creameries and cheese factories in Wisconsin, with an output of about $30,000,000 worth of butter and cheese annually. Wisconsin has patterned after Denmark in her sci entific dairying. Denmark is the leader of the world in this specialty and sells England alone $2,000,000 worth of but ter each month. Wisconsin is very proud of her dairy school and mortgages do not trouble her dairy farmers. Cashmere Shawls.

That sterling comedian, W. H. Crane, will shortly produco at the Fifth Avenue theater, Now York city, an American play from the pen of Franklin Fyles, one of tiie most conscientious and scholarly of the present lot of American dramatists. This fact, if no other, would rve to lend hirarest to the production. Mr. Fylos is a very retiring man, and although he has been tha dramatio critio of the Now York Sun for many years he has never caused his name to be printed in that paper and has never sought to have it appear in any other. In consequence very little is known of him by the genoral public. Mr. Fyles was taken to New York city from his birthplace, in the interior of New York, when he was 22, by Charles A. Da na, whose attention had been attracted to him by published matter from his pen. That was soon after Mr. Dana took pos session of Tho Sun and was casting about for fresh and original talent. Mr. Fyles began under Mr. Dana with the writing of a column of brief paragraphs for the edi torial page under tho caption of "Sun beams," and for several years he made of that a quite distinctive feature of the jour nal. Later he filled several of the assist ant editorial chairs in succession. Mr. Fylea was a desultory writer about the drama almost from tho beginning of his connection with The Sun, and ho was made its regular dramatio critio about 13 years ago, taking the plnce of William M. Laffan, who became its publisher. As far baok as 17 years ago Mr. Fyles wrote a play entitled "Threo Days," and it was acted sevoral weeks in Philadelphia in tho thno when a remarkably good stock company was maintained there, but tbe piece had radical faults and made no per- FRANKLIN FYLES. manont success. Mr. Fyles was restrain ed by The Sun's rigid ideas of the proprie ties and by his own feeling in tho matter from figuring simultaneously as a dramat ic critio and as an offerer of his plays to managers. Therefore the fiction which in the intervals of busy journalism his pen turned off took tho form of stories, and some of these, Id magazines and books, commanded considerablo attention. It was through one of Lis novelettes that he was led several years ago to try his fortune again with a play. The story was a short ono, called "Tho Only Girl at Overlook. A theatrical manager thought ho saw th.o possibilities of a strong molo drama in the story and induced Mr. Fyles to dramatize it, with a view to tbe exploi tation of a star actress. Tbb play was not a very great success, but it led directly to the temporary partnership of Belasco and Fyles as a firm of playinakors. Mr. Be lasco attended several of tho rehearsals. So by chance did Charles Frohman. Mr. Belasco had already separated from the lato Henry C. De Mill with whom ho had jointly written several famous plays. Mr. Frohman proposed that Mr. Belasco and Mr. Fyles join hands in the writing of a play for his stock company with which to open tho new Empire theater in New York. The terms were quickly agreed upon, and "The Girl I Left Behind Me" was tho result. The remarkable success of Mr. Fyles as a writer of dramatio fiction is proof of the value of journalism as a school of litera ture. Dickens was a newspaper reporter. So was Thackeray. So wero Bret Harte, Mark Twain and William Dean Howells. Writing for newspapers begots keen dis cernment, a graphic style of expression and an appreciative sense of both pathos and humor. All of which Mr. Fylos pos sesses in a marked degree. "Who Is Mabel Love?" Asks Cissy. It is not likely that Cissy Fitzgerald and Mabel Love, the Gaiety dancers, the first of whom is with "The Foundling" and the second of whom is with "His Excel lency," will ever make a team of thom 6elves, as performers frequently do on the vaudeville stage. Miss Love, in fact, ex presses herself as being lost in her endeav or to find out very much about Cissy and soys that Cissy was never hoard of in Eng land, where Miss Love considers that she herself was a great success. Cissy, in turn, says that not only has she never heard anything in particular about Miss Love in England, but that she is scarcely Tare that Miss Love is in this country. "Still," adds Cissy, "I fancy that I do re member that there was a Mabel Love in London, whose name got into the public prints because she attempted to jump into the Thames. I believe that Mr. Steve Broil io, the American bridge jumper, is making money on tbe stage in this coun try, so why not Miss Lovef" Mansfield's Latest Role. Richard Mansfield played Charles Hen ry Meltzer's "Tbe Story of Rodion, the Student," in Pittsburg recently and met With a distinguished success. The Dis patch of that city said: "The audience fairly went wild. Tbe play is exceeding ly interesting, and the audienco was held virtually spellbound, as much by actor as by author." The Pittsburg Post stated that "Rodion" is one of tho best stage productions of recent times a powerful, interesting story. Tho Times of the same city doolared that tho success of "Rodion, the Student," was so pronounced that Richard Mansfield has few predecessors ia his repertory and a successor is problemat ical and also demanded a repetition of the play during Mr. Mansfield's engage ment. Parisian Kovelty Imported. Canary Lederer are arranging their Casino chambers, New York, for tha "Ca baret de Neant," a divertisement that for 13 months has suoceeded in interesting even the blase Parisians. "Cabaret de Neant" is spoken of as a startlingly original entertainment, embracing in its arrange ment some illusions heretofore unknown. It quickly became a fad in the gay capital of Europe. The Parisian presentation will be exactly reproduced, with the exception of some suggestive features that wiU be eliminated. r if it 6 is -me lareesi piece hi u f l I I MPU tiooD Tobacco f i eTer sold "for THE WESTERN".

Three of the County Move In Officers to 03 THE FIRST OF JASUARY. Thirty Men Still at Wort on the BnildinE. The linoleum is being laid on the floora of the second atory of the new court bouse. The floors are cement and will all receive a covering of that mater ial. There are now thirty men at work in the building. Cold weather no longer interferes aa the boilers are in use and the building ia being heated. The work men are now concentrating their efforts to complete the offices of the clerk, reg ister and treasurer by January 1. The counters have been placed in po sition and the work of painting them was commenced yesterday. The coun ters are all of solid oak and are being finished as well as skilled workmen can do the work. The vanlt furniture ia being put in place in the various offices. It ia the most complete and convenient of any in Topeka. All this part of the furni ture is of the b.est metal and the arrange ment is supposed to be the best possible. The vaults are good sized rooms. The county clerk and treasurer have offices adjoining on the west side of the corridor on the first floor. The counter In the treasurer's office runs zig zag across the long room so as to provide room for the large number of people who use the cSce at tax paying time.- The ceilings of the two court rooms bave not been completed and the seats have not been moved in though the jury rooms and judge's apartments are ready for occupancy. The office of the probate jndge at the ioutheast corner of the first ficor has been disfigured by a little crib built in one corner, which will be used by the probate judge as a private office. It is built of oak but resembles a store box and the only opening ia the door leAaing to the outer olhce. The workmen say they will have the three olEcea ready for occupancy Jan nary 1, but the others will be completed later. The reason the commissioners are especially anxious to move the three offices is because the county pays $50 rent for eaoa room now used in the Office block, CTF.R THE BRIDGE' ITI'EltY PAKll HE VU1XU MA.V.

In the Men Who Practice Medicine, Yet Re ("uses to Provide Any Mean for Physicians to Acquire Knowl edge. The following article from Dr. H. W. Roby'a pen appears in "The Family Doc tor department which he conducts in the Kansas Farmer: The public demands of all medical men an ample and intimate knowledge of all the physical sciencos, including anatomy and physiology, which can con tribute to their skilL and efficiency as physicians, and boycotts them if they attempt to practice without such knowl edge; and secondly, it shuts and bars the doors to such knowledge and makes It a crime to obtain it surreptitiously. The public says to the physician: "You shall not practice in our midst without full knowledge of the human frame and its functions, and we shall make you a criminal under the law if you attempt it," and then it says to him: "Have a care! If you rob our graves for bodies to dissect, wa will send you to prison aa a malefactor. IIand3 oil!" And so, between command and male diction, the doctor whose bread and but ter depends very much on fulfilling the requirements, mast go like a wolf ia the night and steal that weich an enlighten ed public both commands and forbids. Half-way informed men say: "Why the law already provides dead bodies for dissection, bee the statutes in corrobo ration!" And when we turn to the sacred sta tutes we find that we may have for ana tomical study the bodies of criminals who die in hospitals and the penitentiary under sentence of crime. But jusfthere the statute builds a Chinese wail of al most total exclusion by providing so many exceptions und contingencies that probably not one such body in the hun dred can ever reach the medical class le gally, and while it is permissible under the law, yet the state makes no d v.d criminals by public or private execution, for the colleges to use. lhe governors sign no death warrants. Then we are gravely told. "Why, you must go outside for bodies to dissect," and when we look over our boundary fences we find that all our sister states have about as rigid statutes a3 we have, and that it is a criuiri to ship dead men or women from one state to another lor dissection, and it is a crime to ship them from one locality to another with'n the state for such purpose. Aud again we are told: "You must close your doors and send vour students to St. Louis, Chicago or New York." Suppose we did that, aod thon suppose we followed up the logic of that demand, and sent all our law students and normal stu dents and agricultural students and mu sic students out of the state to be edu cated, how long would it be until the greatest wail of the centuries would go up from the sacred soil of Kan sas over the "giant outrage of all ages?" Alt I but you most not aisiect our dead, anyway!" Then whose dead shall we dissect? Are they not all "our dead?" Y'ou sav, "well, go and dissect Missouri's dead," and when we get there. Missouri says, "they are are our dead." Illinois says, "they are our dead. Then what shall be done? I answer, enlarge the acope of our statutes, and make our sabred dead sacred to science as well as 1 affection. Not by stealth, not by mid night plundering of graveyards, but bv the state taking up the matter aud en gaging to provide all medical colleges within her borders all necessary subjects for legitimate study. Let a commission issue, and let suitable bounties be paid for willing subjects. There are enough people in any community willing and waiting to sell their bodies to science as they sell their old clothes to the ragman. I venture the assertion that, in further ance of the common good of humanity, there are enough old soldiers today in the state who would, under proper con ditions, "without money and without price, offer their cast-off bodies aa wil lingly and loyally to the service of science as they offered their living bodies to the service of the same com munity of public interests during the war. I am of that number myself. When I am done with my body and my old clothes, science and the ragman are both welcome to what I shall have no further use for. I am quite as willing to be dissected by the votaries of science as by worms. The only escape from the one or the other is by fire by cremation. If our bodies bould be preserved from all the inroads of decay and resolution, then we might with some justification, struggle to preserve them against the laws of retrogression back to the primal elements, but that we cannot do. Aod the inalienable right of all the living is that knowledge shall be obtained for the benefit of the living, and a portion of that necessary knowledge can only be had from the dead. So we must be reasonable and sensible in the matter and provide legal means of obtaining knowledge so there shall be no incentive to steal it for the public good. As I am not even remotely connected with any medical college, I can speak plainly and without prejudice. We must give science its due, or cease to make de mands of it. Report on City Funds. The report of the condition of city funds in the county treasury has been filed with the waya and means commit tee of the city council. The examina tion made covered but one year, 18S9, and it shows that the city received all the money from taxes to which it was entitled. Alany ot the penalties were charged up during other years, and this caused the apparent discrepancy in the accounts. It ia now thought that the ac counts of the county with the city are practically correct. From a Findlay Mother.

Six years ago all Topeka flocked to the Grand to see the first presentation on any stage of "The Twelve Tempta tions." The oomDany came here from Philadelphia and started their tour with the first production in Topeka. The piece was a success from the start The brilliant scenic effects, the gorgeous bal lets with the four pretty and accomplish ed premieres of the original production MODS 1 ,1 WHAT MUST THE ANIMALS BE?" quite captured Topeka and the pieco played a return engagement the same season. This ia one thing that makes "The Twelve Temptations" interesting to To pekans. Aside from this the merit of the play as now being produced by Chas. H.

Years of Slavery and How He Escaped. Talks Abont His Deliverer Daily In t.rati tulle Gains Fifteen Pounds in Weight Mince His Rescue. TJhbana. Ohio, Dec. 27. Special. This town ia greatly exercised over the remarkable rescue of Sheriff R. P. Wilkins from one of the worst forms of slavery known to man. He has now fully recovered from the results of his experience, and talks freely and grate fully of his deliverer. In an interview today he said: "I have been a perfect slave to tobacco for over twenty five years; I smoked from twelve- to fifteen cigars a day. November 4th. last, I bought my first box of No-lo-iiac from Anderson Cramer. I had little faith, and to my great surprise, after using part of the third box, I was completely cured and did not have the least desire for tobacco. Today I feel better, I sleep better, think better and I have gained fifteen pounds in weight, and there it not a day passes that I do not recommend No-To-Bac to many of the tobacco users who I know are destroying their lives and vitality by the use of the weed." Further investigation revealed the facts that there are 500 people living in this town and the surrounding country who have been cured by No-To-Bac. Anderson is Cramer stated thay thev were the first to start the good work here, as Mr. Anderson termed it. "Yes, we introcdued No-To-Bac into this town about three yeaas ago. The demand ut the start was very light. the folks bad no faith in it, but we sold to a few people, and to our great astonishment every one re ported a cure, toince that time we have sold hundreds of boxes, and everyone under a guarantee to cure or refund the money, and strange as it may seem, we have never had a call to refund money." No-To-Bac not only relieves the ner vous irritation and makes the use of to bacco entirely unnecessary, but at the same time builds up and fortifies the general physicial condition. As a nat ural invigorator and stimulant we be lieve there is no preparation in America to equal it "lhe public should be warned, how ever, against tho purchase of any of the many imitations on the market, as the success of No-To-bac has brought forth a host of counterfeiters and imitators. The genuine No-To-Bac is made by the Ster ling Remedy Co., Chicago, Montreal and New Y'ork, and is sold under a guaran tee to cure by all druggists, and every tablet has the word No-To-Bac plainly stamped thereon."

Quiches! and Cheapest Way of Get ting Rid of a Horse Sfjwadays. The low price of horses was forcibly illustrated a few days ago. W. W. Mills, one of Topeka's well-known merchants, concluded last summer that horseback riding would do him good, and in June he bonght a fine animal and paid $150 for him. When Mr. Mills came to ride the horse he found that while he looked well, his gait was 'something terrible" and after he had ridden him once cr twice he con cluded that he preferred some other kind of exercise. The horse was left at a livery stable, and a few days ago the stable keeper ap proached Mr. Mills and asked pay for the feed bill. The merchant eaid that he wanted to sell the horse and asked the horseman what he would give for him. "I will take the boraa for the feed bill," said the stable man. 'He is yours," said Mr. Mills, and he received a receipted feed bill, satisfied that he had escaped so easily. Similar instances bave occurred a number of times at the livery atablea this fall. 5THES TflR GROCERY Popular kiv Priee Grocery.

6 STATE JOURNAL., SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 28, 1895. IN THE SOCIETY WORLD. Handsome Reception Given at the Topeka Club. FIRST IFFAIR OF THE SEASON. Personal Items of Interest About iu;ieka PeozIe and Visitors in Town p'ersons sending social items to this depart ment will iiease i;ive their name and address in order to secure publication. 1 The cioit notable event of the social eeason th-13 far in this city, was the To peka club reception, last evening at the club's beautiful home on Sixth and Har rison streets. So much that is novel und beautiful in the decorative idea, has been exemplified by former efforts of this hospitable organization 1 Siut it is well-nigh impossible to intro duce a new feature in that line, but the club can always be depended on for Bornething especially appropriate and pretty. Last evening was no exception in that respect, and every room, under the care ful direction and pood taste of the ladies and the touch of skilled lingers, had taken on a most appropriate and thor oughly holiday air, in keeping with the season of good cheer. The vestibule was converted into a screened room for the musicians. All the rooms were decorated in palms, cut Cowers, plants and evergreen and holly. The parlors, which were canvased for d.incing, were festooned with evergreens. From the middle of the archway be tween this room and the hall a large bunch of mistletoe was suspended. Entirely around the snowy white cloth of the table in the dining room was a border of holly. Hed candles burned on the sideboard, which v-a9 wound with cotton, frosted with diamond dust, and then decorated with holly. The handsome picture frames hnd also been covered with the Bame snowy-like material, with hare and there a spray of holly. Oyster patties, sandwiches, olives, cof fee, ices, cake and bonbons were served. Por the beautiful decorative effect the ladies on the decorative committee were directly responsible.

Robert Mclntyre's lecture on "But toned Up People," and everybody was pleased. After the lecture a business session was held, and it was late when the final adjournment was taken. The flag for the largest delegation of teachers was given to Geary county, and the library of fifty volumes went to Lyon county. The teachers adopted resolutions thanking every one who had anything to do with the management of the annual meeting, and they thanked the G. A. K, officers, endorsed the Western School Journal and the Agora and asked for a state law to exclude all children under six years of age from the public schools. A resolution to endorse a vertical writ ing system was voted down, along with a resolution to commend President Cleve land for his position on the Monroe doc trine, and a resolution asking a law to compel all teachers to attend a training school for at least one year before being granted a teacher's certificate.

Now Year's customs in the United States are evidently the result of social evolution of that law the scientists call "natural selection and survival of the fit test." In other words, each set of the early immigrants brought or devised its own customs, and those best suited to the nature of the country and genius of the people have become general, while all oth ers have been quietly dropped. It is not easy to trace the origin of the Knicker bocker custom of gentlemen calling on their lady friends and taking refreshments, but it is evidently one of the "fittest," for it is becoming national.. Its progress westward and southward can be traced as certainly as any other so cial or any political development, and it seems subject to a curious law of action and reaction. A western village or small city takes up the fashion, and its observ ance becomes more general every year for some time then it falls into disuse for a year or two, only to revive again with mors style and more general observances.

Bow to Make a Pretty Dresser Cushion Some Novelties in Pin Trays and Burnt Match Receivers A Handsome Sofa Pillow. The very latest fad in bureau ar rangement is to have everything1 slight and dainty as possible. The handsome, square, cumbrous pin-cushion so long in vog;ue. is now placed on the toilet table in company with the pretty hand kerchief case and glove-box. But the np-to-date cushion for the bureau is al most small enough to be placed within my lady's work basket. It is long and narrow, with a frill of silk all around it, over which is gathered anotier frill of delicate lace, and the tiny bows, with, which it is adorned, are made of the narrowest of baby ribbon. A pretty sample of one of these cushions was BUREAU CUSHION. made of pink satin, nnd stuffed with, bran or sawdust until it was tight and firm as if carved out of wood or ivory. Over th is was a cover of thin white lawn or bolting-cloth, with a few small rose buds embroidered in pink and light green. The cushion part, when stuffed, measured 7i inches in length, and not quite three inches in width. The silk frill, which was sewed around the edge, was pinked in sharp points, and was about 2 14 inches wide. The lace frill was the same width, and the small bows made of long, fiat loops of daisy ribbon were placed about the edges, as shown in the drawing;. Another of these cushions was made of blue satin, with forget-me-nots on the white cover; and still another, which was made of yellow silk, had but tercups eSnbroidered across the top. Some are made eight-sided, like an elongated octagon, and we give an il lustration of one made in this style. j The pin tray to accompany these cushions should be Dresden china or, delicate celluloid, and long and narrow in shape. There is always something new in burnt match receivers, but few are so satisfactory as the diminutive glass tumblers so long in use. Another way of "fixing up" this use ful small receptacle is to moke a net- TVS TRAY. work of daisy ribbon by sewing it to fit the glass and carrying the ends to meet six inches above the top, where they are tied in a bow. Out of stiff, white cardboard cut a small circle, four inches in diameter, and notch the. edge. Cut an opening in the center to fit the small glass, and slip over, letting it rest upon the edges of ribbon which form the holder. Now gather a frill of silk and lace, similar to the one described, about the pin cushion, and fasten it above the circle of cardboard, where it will flare out pret tily,, quite like a flower. The fad for denim seems to outlast all others, chiefly because it has proved so useful and durable. Whole rooms are furnished in denim cushions, table covers, portieres are made of this ma terial, rind it is even used on the floor in place of carpet. Now that it can be pro cured in various colors, all sorts of pretty things are made of it. A handsome new sofa pillow is of gen erous dimensions, and made out of two SOFA PILLOW. square pieces of blue denim. The larger piece is 28 inches square; the other is 18 inches square. The smaller piece is placed on the center of the larger, leav ing, of course, a margin of five inches all around. It is stit-elied on securely along three sides, and n few inches at each end of the fourth, side, leaving an opening large enough to force an 18-inch-square pillow within. The maxgin is buttonhole-edged with long, coarse stitches in heavy white silk, and forms an effective border for the pillow, falling loosely, and with its ir regular scallops, somewhat like a frill. The small square has a design stamped first, and then followed with fancy white braid, buttonhole-edged., on with heavy white silk. It is finished about the edge with white cotton cord, tied at each corner in bow aDd tassels. The long dotted line in the illustra tion shows the length of slit left open for the pillow to slip into its pretty czse. Gretchen Trievie, in Home Queen. Art of Dreuiog a Salad. Every woman should learn the art of dressing a green salad at the table. For a salad dressed before it is to be served loses delicacy in flavor. Mix half a tea spoonful of salt with a quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper. Slowly stir in three tablespoonfuls of oil and then beat in a tablespoonful of vinegar very slowly and evenly until the mixture is thickened like an emulsion. IBBON DECORATIONS. Inexpensive Accessories For Gowns Other wise Unadorned Neck Decorations. Ribbon possesses manifold decorative possibilities. Clever hands can manipu late it into charming and dainty acces sories for gowns otherwise unadorned. High stocks with fluffiness at the sides or back are for the most part made of ribbon. Braces to suit youthful figures are formed of it, and a great variety of belts with bows are shown in ribbon. Lace and feathers lend their aid, too, in enhancing the attractiveness of ribbon EISBOIT ACCESSORIES. decorations and usually succeed when skillfully associated. Simplicity is the chief element in those adjuncts, which even an unpracticed hand may attempt without fear of failure. The same bodice may be made to serve for many occasions by changing its appearance with ribbon decorations. With a view to assisting amateurs in this work are here reproduced from The Delineator descriptions of styles illus trated iu its pages. A bodice intended for half ceremonious wear may be im proved with a fluUy collar formed of al ternate bunches of violets and rosettes of ecru Valenciennes l?ce. From the collar radiate sections of wide Valen ciennes lace edging that are gathered at the top and are caught with little bunches of flowers far enough from the bottom to form frills. At the center a band of pale heliotrope satin ribbon is CHILD'S COAT. EVENING joined to the collar and is caught at the waist to droop prettily. A row of silver spangles applied at each edge of the band increases the dressiness of the dec oration. A youthful decoration is that afford ed by a brace made of ribbon. From a three looped bow formed on each shoul der a band of ribbon extends brace fash ion to a ribbon belt, and from the belt two pointed ends of ribbon depend in line with the braces. Numbered with popular neck decora tions is one made with black satin rib bon in two widths. The wide ribbon forms the collar, being disposad in a series of short loops round a collar band to produce the effect of a ruche. A strip of the narrow ribbon starts from the col lar at each side and extends over the shoulder, and from the end droop three loops which suggest caps. Such a decora tion would improve the appearance of a waist with sleeves a trifle less bouffant than the present style. A pretty stock collar is made of blue ribbon wrinkled about a standing high collar, with three loops projecting at either side. A double buckle of. silver is effectively fastened over the collar. Turkey Haricot. Cut all the dark meat from a large, fat turkey stew for a few minutes in a little brown gravy soup. Have ready some carrots, turnips, celery and onions. Fry them in butter for some time; then add them to the turkey stew, and then thicken it with butter and flour. Season to taste add a little catchup and stew the whole until the turkey is thoroughly done. Worth Knowing. An easy way to prepare croutons or crusts for tomato or bean soup is to but ter one or two slices of bread on both sides, cnt in small squares and brown in the oven. When washing glassware, do not put it in hot water bottom first, as it will be liable to crack from sudden expan sion. Even delicate glass can be safely washed in very hot water if slipped in edgewise. To sweeten old lard or butter jars and meat crocks fill them with very hot lime water and leave them until it is cold. The discomfort from sore and tender feet may be lessened if not entirely cured by applying slices of lemon on the feet. THE PRESENT FASHIONS. A Climax of Rich Materials and Ele gant Trimmings. FANCY WAISTS CONTINUE TO PLEASE. Overelaborate Gowns a Conspicuous Feature-Old Slylea Kevived. The wheel of fashion is at a stand still for the moment. With each revolu tion, the modes have become more and more accentuated until the climax ap pears to have been reached. The season started with rich fabrics, but simply and quietly made now these same beautiful fabrics are overloaded with trimming, and overelaborate gowns are the result. Despite the attempt to relegate the fan cy waist to the background of fashion, it has blossomed afresh in more elegant and expensive materials than ever, and chiffon, spangled, embroidered and plain, is quite as much employed, being used in some of the dark shades for waists to cloth gowns. Willful extrava gance must have furnished the inspira tion for the fashion of combining real lace and furs. Trimmings of fur of all kinds are very much used, but only the finest furs are in good taste for trim ming evening gowns. One of the most fashionable furs this year, abroad, is ermine, but it is being used with admirable reticence. -Imported garments make it appear that ermine ia merely allowed to suggest its exist ence that is to say, it is permitted to form a yoke, a waistcoat, or linings and facings. It is rarely allowed to make a whole garment. In this decree larks wis dom, for ermine is not a fur suited to wearing in masses, bnt when employed with discretion, it certainly has charms. As a lining for en opera cloak it is ad mirable; an ermine waistcoat is also ideal, with a dark cloth coat and skirt. A recently imported gown gives a pleas ing illustration of fur, cloth and silk. This costume has a skirt of brown vicuna and a short coat of sealskin trimmed GOWN. WALKING COSTUME. wfth ermine, showing a vest of bright green silk and a cravat of cream colored lace laid over cream colored satin. Remarkably pretty toques are made with ermine brims, shaded ospreys and colored velvet crowns, and ermine forms a very good lining to seal -an muffs. Having said this, its ues aro about exhausted so far as a iults are concern ed, but children with yellow locks, red cheeks and blue eyes may be most be comingly dressed in a pale blue cloth loose coat, with a short, round cape, edged with ermine, and a close fitting bonnet to match. Had the coat, by tho way, been of green cloth, then beaver would have been the fur to choose. Fur trimmings are not confined to ermine. Indeed the most popular furs for this purpose are mink, sable, astrakhan and Persian lamb. Numbered with revivals is the prin cess dress for middle aged ladies with stout figures. When constructed of black brocade satin and trimmed with Persian lamb and white lace, the acme of ele gance is attained. The Louis Seize coat is another revival. A charming evening gown is made of black satin, with a cream spotted net underbodice and trimmings of jet. The skirts of evening dresses are usually plain, but variety is given by plaiting the skirt on either side of the front from the waist down a little below the hip3 and trimming these plaits with bands of lace, jet or embroidery. Some of the newest skirts have three flat plaits arranged on either side of tho front, which widen out in flutes at the bottom. Alice Varnuil The Welcome Bacbe. To the economical woman tfca high stock collar must always be a trial. It soils so easily and is so expensive to re place now that immense bows are the order of the day. But relief is at hand, for the Paris gowns shotv a frilling of ribbon or net inside the collars. They are soft to the face and quite sufficient protection for velvet or light colors of the stock, which is still in favor. Chicken a la Creole. Take a can of tomatoes, strain, add ing salt, pepper, small piece of butter, curry powder and onion juice if desired. Put into the chafing dish and boil with a cupful of rice about five minutes. Add about a pint of cold chicken cut into square inch pieces. Heat thoroughly and serve at once. Almost Distracted .ID TOTJ EVER suffer from real ner vousness?

Desire?" "Tha. is so, mademoiselle. It is my Invariable role honored by time never to take pupils." "At least you will let me sit to youf" "Howl I do not paint portraits." "But you put figures Into your pic tures." "True, but I do not employ models not living models. Ah, you iusk surprised 1 But it is so, I assure yon. X Regret, made moiselle, that I cannot acquiesce in your suggestion; but, oui, it is impossible! "Listen, mademoiselle. I could not paint one stroke with a second person in the room. It is true. I am nervous as a mouse. That is why I employ that big Englishman to stand in the anteroom and see that I remain undisturbed. "But you are still incredulous. Prove my assertion, mademoiselle. Attempt to enter my studio during working hours." M. Desire, an eccentrio artist of great originality and widespread renown, never painted to order. His studio was thrown open to likely buyers once in every quar ter, when, as a matter of fact, he sold all ho had painted. It was in the early halt of a fair spring day that Mile. St. Creux went forth to storm the artist's studio and defeat his burly English sentinel. Mademoiselle laughed heartily as she passed a group of her friends and struck a cord upon the an cient guitar she carried. Her friends stared curiously. "What an impudent looking fellow I" said one. Evidently her disguise adapted from ono of a group of roving troubadours then parading Paris was complete. faho passed the old porters and knocked fit the artist's anteroom. Hugh, the Eng lishman, opened the door. "Well, young man," he exclaimed, ey ing mademoiselle scrutlnously, "what is your business?" "To play to sing. See, lam a trouba dour. Monsieur, the artist, bado us come nod sing; but, aias, my companions are ill with fever, so I come alone." "H'm," responded the porter, "I know something of my master's vagaries, and I hoard a rumor of this freak. I will go and inquire if this is a convenient hour for your caterwauling. Monsieur is now at work. No, no, my youngster," as made moiselle attempted to follow "stay you there." He returned almost immediately, closing the studio door carefully behind him. "Pray be seated, M. le Troubadour," he said, "and do your best. Monsieur says ho can both work and listen." Mademoiselle sang a song, then paused In expectancy. But the studio door re mained fixed, and Hugh only grunted: "Go along I Surely you are not tired yet." For five minutes more mademoiselle trilled her loudest, then stopped again. "Come, don't waste time!" said Hugh Imperatively. A third song, a fourth, fifth, sixth, fol lowed, with no encouragement not even a bravo only the Englishman's steadily repeated reminder of the value of fleeting moments. But joy 1 The artist's gong was sounded, and Hugh disappeared within. Would monsieur sond for her, and could she pir suade him to let hor sing while he worked? Hugh returned. "Monsieur says that you may go Inside end sing while he works." Mademoiselle slipped joyfully into the studio. Where was M. Desire? For a mo ment she looked In vain, then espied him half hidden between two large canvases, npon one of which he worked. "Stand therel" commanded Hugh, who had followed, "and sing." Mademoiselle obeyed, aud for lack of an extensive repertory of such songs repeated those she had sung in the anteroom, her eyes turned toward the painter. "My throat is dry," murmured made moiselle. "May I have a little water?" "Sing your last song again," said Hugh airily; "then monsieur will recompense you, and you can go. You will then find water in the anteroom." "Ah, so you command me, do you?" she cried. "Though my throat is as dry as an old bean, you command mo to sing. Fel low, If you had any idea to whom you wore speaking" "To Mile. St. Creux of the Comedie Francaise, I believe," interrupted the por ter with a hearty guffaw. "You have found me out," she gasped. "Ah, well, it is of no consequence. I came to watch M. Desire at his work and" "You have failed in your attempt." The porter's voice and manner had un dergono an astonishing metamorphosis. Ho drew off his beard and his ungainly wig and reassumed the appearance of M. Desire. "Mademoiselle," he said, "you have had the felicity of watching Hugh, my English servant, in an excellont disguise, drawing a paintless brush over a dry canvas. Made moiselle, my rule is invariable. I do not take pupils, but I love to hear sweet sing ing." Good Company. The Burial of Sir John Moore. Phcenix Park, 22d April. 1841. I think it was about the summer of 1811 or 1815, I cannot at the moment say for a certainty which, I was sitting in my col lego room. I then occupied the ground floor of xSo. 26 and was reading The Edinburgh Annual Kogister, in which a very striking and beautiful account is given of the bur ial of Sir John Moore. Wolfe came in, and, as you know my custom was, I made him listen to me as I read the passage, which he heard with deep and sensible emotion. We were both loud and ardent in our commendations of it, and after some little time I proposed to our friend to take a walk into the country. He con f on ted, and we bent our way to Simpson's Nursery, a place about half way between Dublin and the Rock. Dnring our stroll Wolfe was unusually meditative and silent, and I remember having been provoked a little by meeting with no response or sympathy to my fre quent bursts of admiration about the country and the scenery, in which, on oth er occasions, he used so cordially to join. But ho atoned for his apparent dullness and insensibility on his return, when he repeated for me the first and last verses of his beautiful ode, in the composition of which he had been absorbed during our little perambulation. I expressed a rap turous approbation, with which he seemed greatly pleased. My brother, the Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan, was present when this took place and was also greatly de lighted. These were the only verses which our dear friend at first contemplated; but, moved, as he said, by my approbation, his mind worked on the subject after he left me, and in the morning he came over to me with the other verse, by which it was completed.

8 STATE JOURNAIV SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 28, 1895. IT IS MADE LUDICROUS. "Col." Jeltz Permitted to Write a Set of Resolutions CONDEMNING EEY. MR. OLDER Because lie Spnc Plainly to His t'ODgresation on Assaults on White Women and on I.yncliings in tUe South. There h been considerable excite ment and contention among the colored church people of Topeka thia week over reinarka made by Rev. J. C. C. Owens, of the African M. E. church, last Sun day night, condemning the sermon preached the previous week by Rav. G. D. Olden, of the First African Baptist church. This is the one on "The Lynch ing and Burning of Negroes a Blot on the Nation," extracts from which were published in the State Journal the next day. and which were republished in last Sunday's Chattanooga Timei iiumors have been rife on the street that Kev. Mr. Oidea had been served with resolutions by a "committee ot forcible ejectment," givine him a stated time to get out of town. Nothing of the kind has been done, however, although bitter resolutions have been adopted by a committee of live appointed at the meeting last Sunday night. Col. Fred Jeltz, of State Ledger fame, was chair man of the committee, and wrote the resolutions. They are as follows: Resolved That we as a body, no poli tic, do hereby denounce and disapprove of th9 sentiments and sermons being preached by G. D. Olden, of the First African Baptist church, of which he is pastor, and especially the one preached of December 16, in which he styles our race as devoid of morals and other socials pertaining to good citizens. We, therefore, condemn and denounce each and every sentiment expressed as false and look te the good people of this community, if there be any, to support us in our petition, as the sentiments expressed by Rev. Olden in our and many others' opinions are abso lutely false. Resolved, That his ex-slaveship, in which he says he was for 20 years and owes no ill wiil to his owners we deem it as falsehoods and of not the remotest consideration and devoid of any and all truths. We also denounce Mr. Olden for bitter ly denoucing the colored man and pa rading him as an assailant to white wo men. We earnestly invoke the senti ment go often expressed that colored men are forcibly dealt with without prob able cause. As for the negroes' constancy for of fice we claim he, as an American citizen has a right and the course Rev. Olden takes against him in his recent sermon proves him. to be a coward and one who is attemptiug to gain favor with some political gang by the expressions of this sermon of the sixteenth, and we also deem it fair for a colored man to seek office, as an American citizen, whenever it is tendered in or within hiB grasp. We also condemn the statement made by Sir. Olden when he says, "When shall the white people cease to lynch colored men because colored men are charged as the women's assailants. We deem this untrue and also affirm without fear of contradiction that southern negroes are too servile to make such ferocious attacks on white women as is often head lined in the Kansas newspapers. Resolved, That we are in favor of a more perfect union, also of no mora such stuff as recently fell from the pulpit of Mr. Olden, and do hereby consider him a sufficient subject for any and all pur poses, namely, to create strife between she races, or to take the stump for the Democrats of the' south or the state of lisery (Missouri). Signed. Rev. J. G C. Owens, Pastor. R. A. Cabsom, T. M. Weddington, Rav. J. T. Leonard, Secretary. Fred L. Jeltz, Chairman. Rev. Mr. Owens was a slave for twenty years and five months, five months longer than Rev. Mr. Olden. It was reported that he styled Rev. Mr. Olden's state ment, that he owed no ill will to his for mer masters, a monstrous lie" in his ser mon Sunday night. "What I did say was that if I should nay such a thing it would be a rank false hood." said Rev. Mr. Owens today. "I do feel hard against those who used to own me, and I blame them for my ignor ance, and the ignorance of my people. "I condemned such expressions as 'fool niggers,' used by Rev. Mr. Olden in his furinon. That shows his lukewarmness lor the race by using such expressions when others could better be employed to mean the same thing. Take for instance bis statement, that white men, rich and poor, are lynched just as quietly for the same crimes as negroes, lie knows that is not so. "Everthing was amicable and in the way of friendly criticism at our church last night. There were no resolutions to order Rev. Mr. Olden to leave town, but a resolution was adopted to have a com mittee draw up articles of condemna tion. One thing was done that I did not expect, and that waj after I had finished my references to Mr. Olden's sermon it was moved and seconded to endorse my remarks, and this was done. "Yes, there has been considerable talk Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, DR; rmmik "MOST PERFECT MADE A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder. Free ftom Ammonia, Alum or any other adulterant. 40 YEARS THE STANDARD. CEsEAM I 'J on the street by our people. You see this man Olden, who has been here for spme time, and has soma natural and ac quired ability, has been doing this sort of thing right along, but no one has ever taken exceptions to it, and when I con demned him it naturally set everyone talking." Rev. G. D. Olden is taking the matter very calmly. He has heard that he was to be ordered to leave town, but did not exhibit any uneasiness concerning the ru mor. "Soma of my people heard that Rev. Mr. Owens was to touch on my sermon last Sunday night," said he. "They at tended, expecting to hear pleasant com mendation and were greatly surprised when Mr. Owens read my sermon from the Journal and condemned it "I have always had the highest regard for Mr. Owens, and I don't think he did this of his own will, but I think he was coerced into it by others. I did not tnink he would allow people to get up in his church who did and take the lead in such matters. "I shall continue to tell the truth, even though I were turned out, for truth will bring its own reward. There iB no use in trying to deceive our people or the white people either, or in humoring them in fallacies whih they have al ready accepted. I believe in telling the truth whether it hurts or not. We have rascals and criminals in the negro race, and we mustn't try to make the white people think we haven't,and try to shield them. The way to do is to acknowledge the fact and let the white people know that we know it. You only fool yourself by trying to make people believe that all the negroes are angels. "I shall not make any reference Sun day to this occurrence unless there is some special reason. The best way is to treat it with contempt." SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS. N.

The Testimony Relating to the As sault' is Aired Again in the District Court. District Judge Hazen thia morning fined Dick Hodgins, steward of the To peka club, for his assault on Attorney S. B. Isenhart He also gave the defend ants in the Topeka club damage suits a chance to settle the cases without com ing to trial, but it was not accepted. There was a lively exchange of courte sies by the lawyers interested, in both the Hodgins sentence and the club tri als, but it was confined to heated talk. At 9 o'clock Steward Hodgins was in court Capt. J. G. Watera stepped forward for Hodgins and said: "This assault oc curred at the time of the trial of the To peka club cases last spring. Mr. Isen hart introduced a woman of loose pepu tation to testify against these gentlemen and said on the street that he had been told by a respectable man that fallen women frequented tiie club house. Mr. Hodgins reseuted this. After he had committed the offense he was manly enough to apologize to Mr. Izanhart and came and asked me to go Mr. Isenhart and offer an apology lor him, which I did." "Tell in detail about this occurrence said Harry Safford, when Mr. Isenhart had been sworn. "Well, the detail is simply this. He came up behind me and struck me in the back of the head, and without my seeing him or knowing he was there. He did not say a word or give any warning." "Where had you been just before thia?" "I had been down to the abstract of fice, and had come up to the corner of Fifth and Kansas avenue. I stood there talking with some friends for nearly an hour, probably three-quarters of an hour. I saw this fellow Hodgins go by south towards my office, but 1 did not think anything of it. I went on then to my office about three-quarters of an hour after I saw him pass. "Did you see him before he struck you?" "No, not at all, until I saw him run ning back through the door of Thomp son's store, like a dirty coward," "What did you "do when you were struck?" "I fell to the walk and never saw him until I was getting up." "Did he strike you after he knocked you down?" "I'm not sure about that, but I think he kicked me." "Were you dazed by the blow? "Yes. He struck me as hard as he could hit me." "Did you get up?" "Yes." "Where was he?" "Going through the door of W. A. I Thompson's store." 'Where wore you bruised?" 'In the back of the head where he hit me and around my eye where I fell to the sidewalk. I was walking south and he struck from the side and behind, so I fell forward on the side of my face." "Was there any personal account Bor his assaulting you?" "None, whatever." "What have you to say to the state ment made by Mr. Waters?" "1 will withdraw that" interrupted the captain. "I'm going to put a witness on the stand, and I'll withdraw it." "Well, I might as well annwer it now that I'm up here," replied Mr. Isenhart "It is absolutely false. There is another thing I want to say before I leave the stand and that is about the crowd of these club men who were standing about at the time." "Tell about that" said Mr. Safford. "There was Mr. Eugene Hagan; well there were seven or eieht of the men who belong to that club sitting or standing about there to Bee the thing done. There were Ed Bennett, who with Eugene Ha gan was in constant attendance at the trial of the club case3, Tom Kellain, Frank Willard, Henry Strong, W. A. L. Thompson and Jake Smith." "Was this their place of business?" "Not for any of them except Thomp son and Smith. In the two years I have had my offi e there I have never seen them therec at any except this time." "How long were you laid up from thia assault?" "Only two or three days. I'll say again that the statement which Mr. Watera made about what I said on the street ia a falsehood." Mr. Isenhart here left the stand and Judge Hazen stated his decision. "Our statutes on this subject seem to be peculiarly constructed," he said. "One cannot impose both a fine and imprison ment for simple assault and battery. It must be one or the other, either a fine or imprisonment, but not both. I did not find this out until a few days ago. The sentence of this court is that R E. Hodgins be fined the sum of $200 and stand committed to the county jail until paid." Mr. Hodgins smiled at this, and it was evident that this was agreeable. "Now f want to settle up these Topeka club damage suits and have all this wound up," continued the judge. "What have you to say? The plaintiffs in these cases have made a proposition to you. What have you to say?" Thia was followed by a deathlike si lence. "Case of W. A. L. Thompson against L. T. Yount," called the judge deter minedly as he turned the pagea of hia trial docket "I want to say right here that the pro position that these people made was they tried to barter away this fine of their steward by dismissing the cases against our clients," spoke up Mr. Isen hart. "They can't stop a criminal prose cution by any such means as that. Ev erybody knows that there is nothing in these cases, anyway, and that they are just a great big bluff." "I will say, gentlemen, that under the recent decision of the supreme court (the Joe Kellam ca3e) that I shall have to instruct the jury to give judgement to these plaintiffs. They are entitled to judgment for unwarranted arrest and the only question would be how much they are entitled to. The proposition which these plaintiffs have mads is that they will dism:6S the damage suits if the defendanis will withdraw their amended answer. What have you to say? If you don't dispose of them, I have to do my duty anyway and will set them down for trial." Ex -Chief Lindsey who is one of those sued for damages by the clnb members, was in the room and after conferring a moment with M. T. Campbell, hia attor ney, Mr. Campbell said that as far as Mr. Lindsey was concerned he was willing to settle that way. "I represent Mr. Lindsey more partic ularly, but if you will wait a half hour or an hour I will see Mr. Vance and make an answer to their proposition for the other defendants," said the attorney. "Can't wait," said Judge Hazen. Gentlemen, these cases go over for trial at the next term. If you don't care to protect your clients' interests when given a chance, why I can't help it" "I'll protect mine all right," said Mr. Isenhart defiantly. He is counsel for one of the police commissioners, Oscar Krauss. This stopped the tilt, and the judge called a case for trial, while the at torneys and Hodgins left the court room. ISE3TBAKT STILL, ANGRY. The Lawyer Not Willing; to List ltygones ba llygones. To the Editor of the State Journal: The sentence of Dick Hodgins is simp ly a failure of justice, and everybody in this community, including the judge of the district court, knows that the mem bers of the Topeka club will pay any money fine, and it has been simply a question whether or not Judge Hazen would do his duty and sentence Hodgins to jail. Judge Foster and the Topeka club members have run after him until he has simply surrendered and failed to do his duty in thia matter. The ruse of calling up the Topeka club damage cases for trial this morning, after having fined Hodgins, when there was no jury to try them, Bhowa perfectly plain that the whole thing was the result of a proposition on the part of the Topeka club to have a money line imposed on Hodgins instead of sentencing him to jail and for that they then propose to dismiss the Topeka club cases. That is the situation, nothing more nor less. This man Hodgins has, through his represent atives, time and again proposed to me to be lined the extreme limit of the law, to wit, $500, and also to dism83 these cases and to make any apology which I might see fit to require, all of which I have absolutely at all times refused. There is not the slightest question but that this matter has beer: entirely understood be tween the judge and the Topeka club members, as to what the fine was go ing to be for weeks, and he has simply been ashamed to announce this decision, and for this reason has been putting the matter off. This all goes to show that it is pretty hard to obtain jus tice against the Topeka club, and that it is an extremely dangerous element in this community. It is able to run a liquor joint, and stay out of jail, when no other organization in Topeka can do so. It is also able to procure its steward, Hodgins, to assault Deopleon the streets, and only receive a light money fine. It is about time Jor the people of Shawnee county to know and understand that they have a club here in the city of To peka that can throttle and stifle justice, and it is about time that the public officers ware required to do their duty, in reference to this club, the same as they do it in reference toother liquor joints." The sentence of Dick Hodgins simply shows-that the court ia afraid of the Topeka club, and simply failed to sentence Hodgins to jail as he has known all the time he ought to do. S. B. Isbnhart.

News and Gossip Among the Em ployes at Topeka and Along the Lines. The resignation of Aldace F. Walker and John J. McCook as receivers of the Atlantic Pacific railroad, will probably in no way affect the traffic and operating agreements now existing between that road and the Santa Fe. Although an incorporate part of the Santa Fe system, the A. P. has been managod and operated as an independent road, simply under contract with the Santa Fe, and hence but little change is possible, unless the new receiver should desire to withdraw entirely from the Santa Fe system. This is improbable from the fact that the road is locally of but little worth, running through a country whose natural resources are poorly de veloped, and ita eastern outlet at Albuquerque being in practical control of the Santa Fe. Should this be how ever, the operation of the Santa Fe line to California would not be affected, as the route used prior to the opening of the A. P. by way of Detning, connect ing there with the Southern Pacific, and running direct to Los Angeles and San Francisco, could again be placed in op eration. Some time ago a minority of the bond holders of the A. P. filed charges in the circuit court at Albuquerque to the effect that an equal proportion in the distribution of the funds derived from the traffic and operating departments was not being observed by the receivers of the Santa Fe, and asked that a separate receiver be appointed. This case has had two hearings before Judge Collier in Albuquerque, the laat one occuring in October, at which it was proven that the charges of undue pro portion could not be substantiated. The court, however, held that certain changes and revisions should be made to the traf fic and operating contracts, making them more favorable to the A. P., and ordered same to be done within sixty days. These changes have been made by the San ta Fe, but owing to the abolition of all contracts by the sale of the road since that time, the new company is in a posi tion to abrogate, rearrange or renew any or all of the contracts now in existence.- As it is probable that the dissatisfied bondholders, who occasioned the suit for a separate receiver, will have the selec tion of the new receiver of tho A. P., the future movements of the reorgan ized Santa Fe company will be deter mined by their actions. MKCHANICAL AND OPERATING. Items of Interest from tli Shop, Round house and Yards. Fireman W. F.

A Picture of "Kiity" Herself on tlie M. K. Se T. Poetry is an element which is essen tially foreign to railroad work, the atmos phere of a railroad office being of a nature that ia not conducive to such literary ef forts. An exception, however, is made to this rule in the matter of Christmas cards which it is customary for the dif ferent departments of a railroad to pre pare and send out to the various depart ments of other lines during the holiday season. Many of these cards are works of art, handsomely arranged and pre pared at much expense, and the Christ mas and Hew Year greeting contained in the majority aia tendered in the form of verse. One of the best of this class received at the Santa Fe general offices this season is from the SI. K. T. road, uni versally known as the "Katy." It is ar ranged in the form of a four page folder, on the front page appearing a photo graph of a very sweet looking young lady, supposed to be "Katy," and bear ing' the following verse on the inside page: Who wishes friends both far and near This Christmas tide most plenteous cheer And prosperous times the oumiag year Vour "Katy." The card gotten out by the Interna tional Great Northern railway ia simi lar to the Katy's in form, and bears the following original lines on the front page: In token of good will to men Ihese greetings are sent by the L G. N. The greeting is tendered in the verse: We take this method of sending: Best wislios to every line; May your Christmas time he merry. And your New Years business hue. Only one department in the Santa Fe general offices, the stationery, has pre pared a holiday card thia year. The card gotten out ia made of elegantly finished paper, and bears a photograph of the eight employes taken in a group.
