His Speech Made in the House on That Pate. "We Know We Cannot Have Free Coinage Now," SAYS MR. M'KINLEY, So We Will Take the Next Best Thing. The Inference is and Take the Silver Purchase Act, WIIICIJ, SAYS M'KINLEY Will Coin Every Dollar of Bul lion Produced in U. S., And Add $30,000,000 a Year to the Circulation. Washington, March a The following la from McKinley's speech, published in the Congressional Record Jane 7, 1890. It is his argument with the free coinage men for the silver-purchase act, or Sher man law, which was repealed by the last session of congress: Now, Mr. Speaker, what I rose to say, among other things, is that we can not have ideal legislation. It is not possible. Practical men do not expect it. Practi cal statesmen can only strive for it, and secure the best which is attainable. It is impossible, in any legislation that may come before this or any legislative body, to Have it entirely and in every part meet the views of every individual member. That is entirely out of the ques tion. And so, Mr. Speaker, I shall support this measure, although it does not in all of its provisions meet my entire approval. I would have this bill different if I could, but it represents the purpose and the idea, not fully, it is true, which. I have touching the silver legislation which is required, and 1 shall vote for it because it is in the right direction and embodies much which is good and all in the interest of the peo ple. What does it do? First, it utilizes every dollar of the silver product of the Uuited Stale?, and to that extent it is just to. the silver producers of this country. Beyond, it makes a demand for that silver product, and, if the friends of silver are right, it will so increase the value of that product as to bring Bilver in parity with gold. It provides further that the very instant silver and gold come together or the very instant that the bullion value of Bilver shall be equivalent to the coin value of silver, that very instant you have free and unlimited coinage of sil ver in the United States. So I Bay, Mr. Speaker, this bill is just to the silver-producers of the United States, for it does what the present law, as administered by every administration for ten years, has not done. It takes every dollar of silver bullion that is produced in the United States and places it at the disposal of the people as mon ey. Now, after we have done that and met that side of the question, what is our next care? It is that the money we provide for the peeple shall be absolute ly safe, stable; and unvarying in value, and shall not depreciate in the posses sion of its holders, for it must, be borne in mind that, whatever may be the money we authorize, it will affect the value of all property, of every transaction, every investment, every day's labor. The money must be secure from finan cial wrecks, safe from commercial revul sions, from panics, aad from bankrupt cies, whioh at intervals sweep ever the financial world; absolutely safe and se cure in the hands of the holders, whether in the United States or out of of it; for there are more people In this country in terested in good money, interested in the quality of the money that we authorize to be issued, than there are interested in the quantity. It must be good, founded upon something real and with inherent value. Now, what do we do by way of making the holder safe? First, the bul lion is bought by the bill at its market value; so when the government issues its note, it has behind it bullion equal in value to every note that is put out. What further? We make this treasury note redeemable in gold aud silver coin, our only standard of value, and the best money in the world. Then we go fur ther and make this treasury note a legal tender, not only for the payment of all public debts, but also for the payment of all private debts; making it absolutely Bate, making it absolutely secure; mak ing it circulate side by side with gold coin and silver coin, equal in purchasing and in legal tender quality to either and both. So I say, Mr. Speaker, that whatever may be our views about this point or about that point, touching this whole subject of silver, we get by this bill the use of our entire silver product, and we make that product into noney that is safe in the hands of the people and will be good for all times, wherever and by whom soever held. Mr. Speaker, no man should hesitate between the two millions a month that we have now and the four and a half millions a month that we hall have under the proposed law. We get an increased volume of money, with safety to the government and the citi zens. Pass this bill wnat do we have? An increase of $30,000,000 annually of circulation to be put out among the peo ple and into the avenues of business. Vote against this bill and in my judgment, you vote that there shall be no legislation upon the silver question at this session of congress. That is what I fear it means. We know we cannot have free coinage now, except in the manner as provided in the bilL You know you ould not have it when you were in the majority in this house, You know yea cannot get it now. You do not mean to get it. Therefore, I say that to defeat this bill means to defeat all silver legis lation and to leave us with two millions a month only, when by passing this bill we would have four and a half millions a month of treasury notes as good as gold. For one, Mr. Speaker, I will not vote against this bill and thus deprive my people, and my country, and the labor ers, and the producer;, and the industries of my country of thirty millions annually of additional circulating medium. Great applause on the Republican side. EXTENT OF THE SNOW. It Spreads Over Jinny Western States Severe In Sorthwnl.

Nothing but the terrible defeat of the Italians is talked of in the cafes and other public places. The Shoans are said to have been well armed with modern rifles and cannon, and the entire force opposed to the Ital ians is estimated to have been over 50,- ouo. As the evening wore on and the very worst news of the Italian defeat was confirmed, the feeling of despair which first seized upon the inhabitants, gave way to one of the greatest excitement and rage against the government. Bands of young men began parading the streets shouting "Down with Criapi," but they were promptly dispersed by the police. These demonstrations however attract ed still laager crowds of people to the streets and for a time se rious trouble was anticipated.

Pierce, postmaster at Liverpool, Kan., was jailed here last evening by United States Mar shal Neeley, on the charge of sending obscene matter through the mails. He will be tried in the federal court before Judge Foster. Mr. Pierce took the Liverpool office when it was a paying institution, but the receipts began to decrease until the sales amounted to only eleven 2-cent stamps and three 1-cent stamps in one month, lie then tried to resign, but the government would not let him out. He then thought that if he "cussed" the government a few lines, they would fire him. In accordance with this idea, he sent back their re quests for a monthly report with and in dorsement consigning them to h 1. That did not work. Finally, becoming des perate, he sent the assistant postmaster general a letter in which he used the most obscene language, think ing that it would get him fired. The result was that he was not only fired, but was also jailed, greatly to his astonish ment. Pierce was a cowboy, and never learn ed until he was arrested that it was a crime to send obscene matter through the mails, Potwin's Mayoralty. Ex-County Commissioner J. L.

Little Rock, Ark., March- a The Republican state convention met here to day. There were about the usual num ber of delegates present, 40 per cent of whom were colored men. Chairman Cooper in a brief address said that the country's only hope of sal vation was the election of Wm. McKin ley to the presidency. The assembly was waiting for the cne and when the Ohio man's name was mentioned broke forth in long aud uproarious applause. A reference to the silver question elicited evidence that the party in Ar kansas is undivided on that question. Resolutions were offered endorsing McKinley and expressing sympathy with Cuba. The couvention was proceeding with business and became somewhat cod fused, especially the colored dele gates. At 1 o'clock the delegates were unraveling the parliamentary tangle into which it had plunged. ILLINOIS' "FAVORITE SON" Haw McKlaley ia to ba Shut Oat on Flnt Kallotbr Illinois' Uelp.

A great sensation was created by the speech of Joseph A. Drake, a young col ored rSwyer, who was defeated for rep resentative. He declared the negroes must receive recognition from the Re publicans; that they- were aroused from Cairo to Chicago, and that if they were not accorded proper recognition they would be heard from in November.

Zeden to his application for a marriage license looks worse than the proverbial hen tracks. He began at the right hand side and went to the left. Solomon was one of four Syrians from Harris, Kan., who appeared at the office of the probate judge last evening. Judge Wood couldn't give them the Syrian ceremony, but hie gave them the best he had in the shop and Solomon rushed triumphantly away with his bride, Miss Mizan R Shahdy, aged 21. Miss Shahdy stood demurely by while Zsden and his two gentlemen friends procured the license, but when her name became Zsden she went out looking inexpressibly happy. The Bottle.

Mr. Kirkpatrick Wants a Thor oughgoing Tariff Bill Passed by the Republican House and Senate, AND THEN LET GKOVER Veto It and Take the Respon sibility. Other Washington News of In terest in Kansas. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, March 3. In spite of the fact that the Dingley tariff bill is as dead as Julius Caesar, Representative Kirkpat rick wants the house to try again, but this time to frame a protective measure along Republican lines. He doesn't be lieve in inaction, and wonld like to have the house go right to work reforming the tariff, present a protective, specific duties measure, regardless of its probable fate In the senate and at the hands of the pres ident. He even has some hopes that such a bill will be introduced. Ia discussing the matter to the Journal correspondent he said: "The probability is cengress will not be ready to adjourn until July anyhow, and we might as well go ahead and deal with this question. There are many members in the house who feel the same way about it, and there has been considerable quiet talk about urging such action. "In my opinion the house ought to go to work at once to draft a bill on pro tective lines with specific duties. I am in favor of a bill modeled after the Mc Kinley bill which would give even greater protection to the farmers and the agricultural interests of the west. I want to see a law enacted which will not give all tbe protection to the manufac turers and other eastern interests, but which will protect the west to a like de gree. "If the senate would not pass a bill of that kind passed by the house, and if the president wouldn't sign it, let the respon sibility rest with them. The house should pass a bill of that nature; it would then have done its duty and would have re lieved itself of responsibility." Of course no such bill as Mr. Kirkpat rick wants will be passed by the Reed house, but Mr. Kirkpatrick says there is a disposition among many members to force the question upon the leaders and make them refuse to do it. WHY SUE FRKFER'S WASHINGTON. Baeaasa the Cllmata of Western Kansas Dilagr.i with 11 .r Health. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, March, 3. Mrs. Alikea Briggs Slryker of Great Bend, Kansas, is in Washington doing work for the Populist newspaper union. Mrs. Stryker has been in New York doing work for a reform newspaper called "Humanity" in the capacity of assistant editor but she is now preparing special articles on the different aspects of congressional life and action for the association of Populist papers before named. She still continues to do some work for the New York paper, "Humanity," and has several dates ahead for addresses be fore reform clubs. She expects to occupy the pulpit of the People's church in Washington at some date before she leaves town. Mrs. Stryker says her health will not permit her to remain at her home in Kansas any length of time as the com parative high altitude aggravates a ner vous trouble which is brain paralysis. In New York, she declares, she is per fectly healthy. Mrs. Stryker will remain ia Washing ton some time preparing her articles for the Populist press, some of which will appear over her own signature. She expects to be in Kansas at the time of the Hutchinson convention. CURTIS' SPEECH" OX HOG CHOLERA AmiulDr LtlrRcalrii by Him Cram a Constituent From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, March 3. Many of the constituents of congressmen who receive public documents do not pay enough at-' tention to them to know what they are about. Congressman Curtis tells a funny story concerning the treatises of the ag ricultural department on hog cholera, which are now being sent out in large numbers. The joke may be located on the constituent or on Mr. Curtis, accord ing to one's desire. The constituent had received one of the treatises on hog cholera under Mr. Curtis's frank and he immediately sat down and wrote to Congressman Curtis as follows: "If you ain't got no better speeches than that one you made on hog cholera you needn't send me no more of them." The constituent doubtless supposed that because the document was sent un der Congressman Curtis's frank it was a speech of his and he thought a more in teresting subject might have been chosen.

McEnerny found it necessary to make frequent objection to the evidence that opposing counsel was at tempting to Introduce. The justice, whose first rulo of evidence is "everything goes," looked first annoyed and then indignant. Finally ho could contain himself no longer, and, as a ruling on one of McEnerny'a ob jections, roared: "Mr. McEnerny, what kind of a lawyer are you anyway?"

WHAT CITIZENS WANT Is Preservation of Peace, Pro tection of Property. Don't Want Police Force to Re ward Political Services. The chief topic of conversation on th9 streets today is who is to be named as chief of police. Both the leading candidates are at sea and very little is now being done. Cap tain Gardiner's friends feel confident that he will secure the appointment but Sergeant Ellison is just as confident. If the friends ol sergeant Vinson nave been to the governor that official has shown no disposition lo take a hand ia the matter and no orders have been re ceived. Dr. McCabs of the police board insists that no effort has been made to influence him by preffsring support to his son Ar thur, who is a candidate for county at torney. It was, however, rumorecr that the Ellison supporters had made tfoxt kind of a move, and one of them was on the streets last night offering bats that Ellison would be elected at tne meeting last night. very few believe that ur. Aicuaoe would have been influenced in his action, by such motives, however, and it is stated that it was without Dr. McCabe h knowledge and consent that such a Qe. l was hatched: nevertneless, it was hatched and it is neither a "calnmny" uor a "reflection" to puoiisn it. it was simply news that there was such a pro gramme on foot, and news that the pub lic ought to know. No ripping of linen or shrieks from shocked respectability should prevent the people who are moat interested from knowing wnat lonueuces are being brought to bear in this matier.

He thinks that Sergeant Donovan should be made cap taiu if Gardiner is promoted. Ex-Commissioner Bonebralie s opinion in regard to Gardiner is shared by alnt.ji; all the other business men in the city and citizens generally who want thir peace and property protected. Uusiuesj men don t care anything aooui rewaru ing this or that politician; what they want is a police force that will prevent thieves from breaking into their stores and houses, or if they are broken int.. will promptly capture the thieves and terrorize all evil doers.

As chief of police ne made it a study to know what the 300 permanent crimi nals and vagrants of Topeka wore doing 11 the time, so that when a crime was committed he could almost unerringly Jay his fingers on the guilty man. Gar diner is a terror to tne criminal classes. He knows them and they know that ta does. Some years ago the force of patrolmen under Gardiner was skilled and well- drilled; it is somewhat deteriorated and demoralized now, because oldexperi enced policemen who were acquainted with the faces ana customs oi me law breakers were dismissed and their places filled with green men for political reasons. This was first done by tbe Populists. They ruined the police force, but they left a few old standby; wheu the Republicans came in the pressure for office vas so terrific that stand a3 they could against it, the commissioners were forced into the same mistake. The force was entirely "cleaned out" and none but new men put in. The re sult every citizen knows. It wasn't long before one policeman was caught drunk in an alley, an other was dismissed for bribery and drinking, twe fled fearing indictment by the grand jury for stealing, two more wete dismissed for robbing a man's cel lar of beer and drinking it in a graud drtnking bout at the police station, in. which one of the present candidates for chief of police took a part; another of this police force is in jail for man slaughter. This is not a nice record.. It is all due to the fact that politics secures a man a position on tbe police ferce, instead of merit or the recommen dation of a number ot reputable citizens, irrespective of party, as it ought to be. Hank Lindsay's Populist political po lice force was a cryinir disgrace to this city, and its Ropublican successor, thongh not as bad, is discreditable. No one would think of draggine the fire department into politics and subject ing the force to change for political rea sons. The business men would hold art indignation meeting were such a thin? attempted. For the same reason th- po lice force should be lifted clear out of politics. If any man wants a job on it for political reasons, that is a very jrood reason why he should not have it. The fight for the place of chief may result in a compromise, and in that cose a new man will be selected. It is likely that if the commissioners go outside tbe present force, that Lieutenant H. M. Phillips will be named, but the fact thai he has no experience, will be apt to pre vent him from doing the work necessary to secure safety to the city.

STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING MARCH 3, 1896 BRAZIL'S CRISIS. Pomes tie and Foreign Clouds Darken Her Sky. Jacobins Threaten the Over throw of the President. OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY. France Lands Troops at Amapa to Settle a Dispute. Bands of Filibusters Seizing Government Property. Rio dk Jajteibo, March 3. Since the revolution of 1893-94, the political sit uation in Brazil has not been so criti cal as at present. Nothing- but storm clouds are to be seen coursing' across the sky of this, the youngest of Amer ican republics. There are two powerful reasons for this disturbing- state of affairs. In the first place, the Jacobinos, or nativistis, as the party of the late Marshal-President Floriano Peixoto is termed, be come more powerful day by day, and threaten to overthrow the Moderate government of President Prudente de Moraes. In the second place, the relations between France and Brazil grow more strained as each day passes, and it is anticipated the Bra zilian government will shortly be called upon to face the landing' of French troops iu the Amapa country, the territory which has bo long1 been in dispute between this country and France. Taking up the first question which disturbs the country, it Bhould be explained that the Jacobinos, with Francisco Glycerio and Quintino Bo cayuva at their head, are held re sponsible for the troubles at Sao Paulo a few weeks ago, during which a great number of important stores, etc., be longing to foreigners were destroyed. They are also said to have instigated the disturbances at Santos, where the editorial and printing offices of two"! newspapers were demolished, and they were also held responsible for the troubles at Ouro Preto, where two men were killed and many wounded as a result of the rioting which broke out there. Briefly, the Jacobinos are opposed to all foreigners in Brazil, and its mem bers take every opportunity of show ing their dislike of the foreign popu lation. But they are already very powerful in congress and throughout the country, and there is great danger that they will be able to overthrow the president and his government Then, again; further trouble is an ticipated in the state of Rio Grande do SuL After the vote of congress by which general amnesty was declared, for every person who had directly 01 in directly participated in the revolutioa in that state, people anticipated that quiet and prosperity would reign there for some time to come. The government of President Moraes sent General Innocerio Galvoa de Quciroz as commander-in-chief of the forces in Eio Grande do Sul, and the revolu tionary troops surrendered their arms to him. But the president did not take into consideration that the gov ernor of that state, Julio de Castilho, had not been conciliated, and as soon as the ex-insurgents, acting upon the vote of amnesty, returned to their homes, Castilho began to persecute them in every manner possible, and this has caused the rebellious spirit to burst into fresh flame. The latest news received here from Eio Grande de Sul announced that Castilho had purchased 3,000 Mauser rifles and that he was arming three regiments of infantry with the inten tion of actively opposing the federal government if any attempt is made to restrain him from persecuting the in surgents who have returned to their homes. In the meanwhile, bands of filibus ters, directed by Cabral, the repre sentative of the state of Para in the Amapa territory, have been seizing property here and there and squatting on it regardless of the protests of the French. Numbers of Frenchmen have been killed and other outrages innu merable have been recorded. Now, it is stated here in official cir cles, France has become tired of this state of affairs and has sent an intima tion to Brazil that unless her citizens are promptly protected and their wrongs redressed, a French squadron will be sent to Amapa and French troops will be disembarked to protect Jrrencn. interests. In is news has caused a great sensation at Para, as well as here, and there are many man ifestations against the r rench govern ment, while the government of Brazil was requested to send warships to patrol the coast and prevent the land ing of the French troops. This the government could not re fuse to do, and a few days ago the Brazilian cruiser Guiranay was or dered north to cruise in the waters of Amapa, and a conflict between that vessel and the Bengali or some other French craft may be anticipated un less both sides use more tact than they have hitherto displayed. Brazil Wants to Arbitrate. Paris, March 3. M. Berthelot, the Minister of Foreign Affair, gave an audience to the Brazilian Minister, who is armed with power to arrange for arbitration of the matters in dis pute regarding the possession of the Amapa territory. The Brazilian Min ister submitted a project for a mixed commission to control tbe disputed territory pending a definite settlement of the dispute. Four Prisoners Summarily shot. Tepic, Mex., March 3. Five prison ers, among them two Americans, charged with minor offenses, attempted to escape irom jau nere recently.

He Will Demand Bl(j Concessions in tarn for a Cltlsnder Franchise. JOHASKSBrBa. March 3. When President Kruger visits England it is said he will stipulate as his conditions for granting a franchise to the U it- landers, first, the abrogation of the convention of 1884 and the substitu tion of a treaty of commerce and amity, recognizine Great Britain the paramount power in South Africa: second, the inclusion of Switzerland in the Transvaal; third, the guarantee oi tne independence of tbe Transvaal: fourth, that a pre-emptive right to Kosi bay and Delagoa bay be accorded to the Transvaal. These extravagant demands are m excess of what the government really expects to obtain, but they will be made in order to ap pease tne burghers who oppose Presi- aent jLruger's visit to England.

Tbe Estimates for This Tear Amount to 11, 822,000 Pounds. London, March 3. Mr. Goschen, first lord of the admiralty, presented the naval program in the House of Commons yesterday. Mr. Goschen said that between 1889 and 1896 105 ships and sixty-two torpedo destroy ers had been built or were building. He admitted that this was a formid able list, but the admiralty proposed to spend an additional 1,000,000. The admiralty bad judged it advisable to undertake the construction of five ad ditional battleships, four first-class cruisers, three second-class cruisers and twenty-eight torpedo destroyers. Besides the vessels mentioned, Mr. Goschen also said the admiralty pro posed to provide for six third-class cruisers and all would be commenced in 1896. The total estimates for this year would be 21,822,000, of which sum for new construction there was 7,885, 000, as compared with 5,393,000. Irom 1889 to 1896 the expenditure for new construction and armament to taled up 55,000,000. 600 ARABS DROWNED. Caught by the Overflow of the Tigris River 30,000 Cattle Perish.

Intense Feeling Aroused Over the Cuban Question- Germany, and Austria Particu larly Surprised at America. SPAIN TO HATE ALLIES All Agree That the Spanish Treatment of Cuba Is Brutal, But Say the Interna tional Law Permits It. Berlin, March 8. The intentions of the' American government toward the rebellion in Cuba, as indicated by the action of the United States Congress, awakens profound interest and wide spread discussion here, not only in the press and official circles, but in all classes of society. The questions in volved are not regarded by any means as being confined in their effects to Spain and the United States. The Cuban resolution is coupled with1 President Cleveland's Venezuelan message in the public mind, and there seems to be a deep- seated conviction in the European mind that these incidents mark a de termination on the part of the United States government to depart from its time-honored course of non-interven tion in European affairs. The Ameri can action on the Cuban question is, therefore, regarded as an event of the first importance to the European world. As to the opinion held of it here, it must be said that Germany and Aus tria stand amazed, and neither states men nor the public know how to regard what they consider as recent freauent evidences that the United States has formed a new aetermina tion to take an active part in the world's polities. More or less specula tion is given, also, to the manner in which the United States expects to reap profit by intervention in Cuba, and much of the argument on the question proceeds on the presumption that it is sought to take Cuba from Spain for the purpose of adding it to the United States. It is generally admitted that as a belligerent force Spain would be no match for the United States in the event of hostilities arising out of the dispute. When it comes to the merits of the case upon which the United States bases its action, the opinion holds that Spain's treatment of Cuba has been and is brutal, and such as awakens a sense of reprobation. Bui looking further to the legal aspects of the case, it is considered that Spain is still within her rights which are se cured to her by international law in quelling the rebellion in any possible way. It is not believed in Berlin that Spain will brook any interference with her course in1 Cuba, such as is contem plated by the concurrent resolution of the Senate, and the opinion is gener ally held by well informed politicians in the reichstag and in government circles that the Spanish government will find an ally against the United States in Europe should she find her self compelled to fight against the United States. SPANISH INDIGNATION IS AFLAME. Tbe Senate's Action Is Everywhere Re garded as an Impertinence. Madrid, March 3. The cable dis patches which are being received here from the United States are increasing the feeling of indignation. The news papers here confirm the report that a Spanish naval squadron, consisting of four cruisers and a dispatch boat. is to be sent to Cuba without delay. In addition, the Spanish naval officers and marines are to be attached to the Spanish mail boats, which are to be armed and equipped as auxiliary cruisers. The greatest activity is be ing displayed in the government navy yards and every preparation possible is being made by the naval and mili tary forces for the most serious event ualities. Are France and Spain Allied? Berlin, March 3. A dispatch to the Frankfurter Zeitung from New York says great distrust has been created there by the report that secret nego tiations are in progress between France and Spain, which, it is stated, refer to the diplomatie attitude of France against intervention by the United States in Cuba. The dispatch adds: "The contingency has been reckoned with in New York of Spain's securing the support of France by the cession of islands such as the Canaries or at the expense of Morocco. Many French holders of the Spanish and Spanish-Cuban loans are urging the French government to protect them." General Weyle Has Defenders. HiVAlfi, March 3. Considerable indignation is expressed here in official circlesat statements attributed to Senator Sherman in the United States Senate, charging General Wev ler with "unlimited crimes during the last revolution," as the matter is quoted here, and when acting as com mander of a Spanish column. The friends of General Weyler claim it is not true that he committed the acts attributed to him, as, if he had be haved in the manner described, he would have been punished by the gen- eraMn-chief.

The' doctor came Sunday night when Mr. Welch was known to be very low. He proceeded to make a diagnosis'of the case and asked the patient to show his tongue. "Why your stomach is very bad isn't it, Mr. Welch?" said Dr. Powell. Oh I don't know," responded the dy ing man, "I never saw it."

One of the noblest figures in Intfian history, and one of tbe greatest war riors, is the Nez Perce Chief Joseph, says MeClure's Magazine. In this same year, 1877, he had resisted attempts to put him and his band on the Lapwai reservation, in Western Idaho, and had sought to carry all his people hun dreds of miles to Canada. He outran the force that Gen. Howard had on his trail, escaped from Big Hole, where Gen. Gibbon fought him, and again from Gen. Sturgis, who engaged him in the Yellowstone Valley. Sturgis had been sent out by Miles; and when the latter, on the evening of September 19, heard what had occurred, he started the same night, with all the available force of the Tongue river cantonment, to head off Chief Joseph before he should reach the border. Hard marching brought the com mand, on the last day of the month, to Joseph's village, in the Bear Paw moun tains. The heroic attack was resisted With a valor as heroic and in a short time Capt. Hale, Lieut, Blddle and twenty-two soldiers were killed and four officers and thirty-eight soldiers wounded, among them being Lieut Baird of the general's staff. One gal lant charge by Capt. Carter, with a small body of Fifth infantry, had cost over third of his command. Prompt ly varying his plans, therefore, and adapting them to the situation, the gen eral moved up his artillery, and dis posed the troops so as to hold the In dians under siege, with escape impos sible. On the sixth day Chief Joseph ad vanced to surrender. It was a scene for a painter, a typical scene in Ameri can history, when this noble-looking warrior, facing Gen. Miles, a worthy counterpart in mien and bearing, hand ed his rifle to his white conqueror, and with impressive dignity pointed to the sun in the neavens, saying: "tTom where the sun now stands, I fight no more." Gen. Miles, in announcing the vic tory, used the terse, significant phrase: We have had our usual success." His full report describes his brave adver saries as "the boldest men and best marksmen of any Indians I have ever encountered," and Chief Joseph as "a man of more sagacity and intelligence than any Indian I have ever met" He Could Not Take Palas.

He Uvea in the weat end. and I shouldn't lie to be thought to say anything against him when I say that the com forts and delights of home do not al ways fill the full requirements of his genial nature; which is a niee way to put it, don't you think? A few days ago his wife desired some chrysanthemums for a luncheon to which she had. invited several friends. The husband volunteered to order the flowers. He selected some very pretty specimens, together with a dainty white basket and a couple of yards of ribbon. There were other Sowers much handsomer, and he or dered another basket of gilt and double the quantity of broad yellow satjj). rib bon, to which he affixed his card for the lady's address. He failed to caution the florist sufficiently. The same messen ger was dispatched with both baskets! It so happened that the wife was in the hallway. She, was delighted. But the other basket attracted her attention also her husband's familiar handwrit ing on the card. She seized this also. The messenger could do nothing. She removed the card. When the man (hor rid man!) returned, she said nothing. Luncheon passed off charmingly. She accompanied him into the library. There he recognized the other basket. The wife said nothing. That night she carried the flowers up to brer chamber. In the morning it figured on the break fast table. No matter where the hus band goes the basket follows. The wife maintains a heavy, oppressive silence, looks at him with a calm, far-off sort of way that is nearly driving him to drink, and says not a word. He is a model of righteousness.'

Although a sailor can "Jockey" a yardarm gracefully, he is anything but impressive in that sense on horseback. Yet one of the first things that a man-o'-war Jack steers for when he gets on shore with liberty-money in his pocket is a livery stable, where he can mount the hurricane deck of an animal. During the time that one of our ves sels was at anchor off Newport liberty was given, and two of the seamen agreed to spend their limited amount of money on horseflesh. One of them ne gotiated with the liveryman, and soon appeared on the street perched in the saddle. When out of sight of the stable keeper. Jack's companion hove along side and mounted behind his mate. In this fashion they sailed down Main street until the square was reached where Commodore Perry's statue is placed. "I say, Bill," cried tht sailor in the saddle, "put your helm aport, and let's go up and have a look at the stattoo." "All right, my boy," answered Bill. Then he reached back of him, caught the horse's tail, pulled it hard around on his left and awaited developments. After a minute he sung out: "Something's the matter with the steering-gear, Jack; she won't mind the helm!" From Harper's Round Table. How and Why It Rains. Rain, says the St. Louis Republic, is an accumulation of the tiny particles of the vapor of the atmosphere into 2rops. These drops, first small sized, attract others of their kind and become drops of such magnitude that they fall to the earth because of their weight. There is a limit to the quantity of water which the air is capable of ab sorbing and retaining as invisible va por. Warm air is able to hold more than cold air. Hence, when the air which is saturated with moisture be comes cold for any reason whatever it can no longer retain its moisture. A portion must, under such condition, ac cumulate into drops. These fall to the earth in the shape of rain. Progressive Ideas In Australia. An agitation in favor of increased political rights is in progress on the western Australian gold fields. An as sociation, termed the Gold Fields' Na tional league, has been formed, and a platform adopted demanding facilities for political registration; parliamentary representation on the basis of popula tion, a reduction of railway rates and of customs duties, especially on the neces saries of life, improved railway com munication and full consideration for the interests of the gold fields as against seaboard and agricultural dis tricts.

Dennis Sul livan of Albany, Mo., postoffiee inspector, who ha been trailing two burglars over I TO- miles through the country missing all towDB and losing their tracks near Osborne; came on to this place, j He had sent notices to all postofEces around here that two such men were wanted for robbing the postoffiee at Kan opolis, Kansas, on the night of February 23, and to -apprehend and hold them if possible. The man were discov ered near Alton in Osborne county Saturday last and a constable and the citizens went out to capture them, when a battle ensued lasting about an hour; over fifty shots were fired but no one hurt. The men were taken and a messenger sent to this place for Mr. Sullivan, who "But over and got his men. t While there he went out and searched the grounds where the battle was fought and found a gpieadid set of burglars' tools on, the ground where the burglars fired their first shots. They answer to the names of Frank B. Howard and Frank Kadle, and hail from Hiawatha, Kansas. They carried two guns. They are supposed to be guilty of many crimes. At Kanopolis they entered the post office about 2 o'clock a. m. and when the boy came from the depot wish, the mail they tied him while they blew the safe tpen.

The Stat Building- n Sapplsmsntnrr Sta tion at Olatlie. Ol&the, March 3. Work has begun on the construction of a supplementary water station to supply water for the Kansas deaf and dumb institution located in this city. At the last session of the legislature $15,000 was appropriated for its erection. The plant is being built on Cedar creek, three miles west of Olathe, where a large reservoir will be made and the water piped into the reservoir of the Olathe 1 waterworks: By this arrangement the city is bound. under contract, to furnish the state with a certain amount of water forever. J he state will baud and maintain the plant, while the city is only required to pay ita running expenses. for tee past two vears the city experienced a water famine on account of extreme dry seasons and the maaeqaate capacity of its water works to supply both city and state with water. The present plan solves the problem of moving the deaf school from this city, which was so long discussed. During the water famine tils state was compell ed to ship water from Blue river by train daily in order to maintain the school. This was necessary for many months, and incurred a great expense. Kugiish B:oa. of Kansas City were awarded the contract to furnish the boiler-works and stand-pipe. Colonel Tweeddale of To peka has the contract to furnish the jumping machinery and lay the pipe. -vhiie McCarthy Carpenter of Olathe were given the contract to excavate for the pipe, build the reservoir, tunnel aud power house.

CHINCH BUi REPORT. Chancellor Saow Says tbe Infection Sur vives the Winter. Lawbbnce. March 3. Chancellor P. H. Snow has his fifth annual chinch bug report made up. He says in part, the rainfall from January 1st to June 1st, five months, was smaller than in any corre sponding five months during tne past years. During the last two months of this (period the chinch bug and all his relatives were more man multiplying. Added to this was the fact that the early spring and corresponding early harvest of the wheat caused the young Bugs to, go earlier into tbe corn fields than ever be fore. In June, July and AuguBt very heavy rains came, ana it was noticed mat con trary to the idea prevalent to a great ex tent, that heavy rains drown the bugs, the rains do not destroy the bugs, but they do give the fungus a growing power and strength mat renders it mere aeauiy. Chancellor Snow tor the fifth time warns the farmers of the need of watch fulness in the early spring and during the late fall. The destruction of the old brood means a smaller brood the next Beason. He advises as--he has advised before, that county organizations be formed, having for their soie purpose the destruction of the chinch bug. KCK1Z IS FINED.

Fashion's Edict From Paris Re tires the Bifurcations. The Legged Garments to Be Worn Only Under Skirts. A RADICAL CHANGE. The Absence of the Jersey Leg gin is Also Noted. Little Change in Hats The Fe dora in Good Taste. New York, March 3. Advance fashion plates of the leading designers and manufacturers of America aud Europe show some startling facts of in terest to wheelmen and wheelwomen, not the least of which is that this year' costumes show the stamp of eastern fashion authorities has been set in dis approval upon bloomers and knicker bockers for female riders as an outside garment. All costumes of this descrip tion shown in the designs are accom panied by a short skirt, to be worn upon the wheel. That is the edict of the bicycle cos turners. Word comes from Paris, where the knickerbocker was almost univer sally worn last season, that the dealers are manufacturing nothing but the short skirted costume. The .plain five-gored skirt trimmed in a bewildering variety of ways is the accepted style. Another noticeable thing in connection with the fashions of tbe coming spring is the ab sence of the jersey leggin. It has been superseded by the bicycle shoes of the leggm made of cloth to match the cos tume. In fact, the keynote of the new costumes is harmony of coloring. Everything mast match; cap or hat, shoe or leggin, bloomer or knickerbocker, must be of the same cloth as the skirt and jacket, and even the new shirt waists are of a neutral tint and spotted thickly with tiny polka dots in imitation of the pepper and salt effects of the new bicycle novelty cloth. .Madame will not feel that she is thoroughly in the mode, how ever, until the butterfly bow of silk which ties her collar shows the same colors. And the belt must not be forgot ten, for it is to play an important part in the wardrobe of a wheelwoman. It mult be of leather, and the correct width is one and one-half inches. In hats and capes there is no great change. The only novelties are a Fedo ra, made of the same cloth as the cos tume, with higher crown and narrower rolled riai and a cape with' a Tarn O'Shanter crown shaped like a Napoleon hat of a few seasons ago; that is, with the three cornered continental effect.

Alter resting about 20 minutes he went out again for the one third mile unpaced and cut the distance in 0:33 3-5. The former record was 0:38 1-5. Tavlor and ierrill went out for the half mile tandem record and made the distance in u:52 4-5. The former rec ord was 0-53 4-5. '1 he trials were timed, judged aud started by L A. W. officials.

McCoy followed thirty seconds afterwards, accompanied by Steve O'Donnell, Maurice Hagerstrom and "Brooklyn" Jimmy Carroll. The bet ting was all in Ryan's favor. The men shook hands at 1U:05 o'clock. There was lively fighting from the start, with Kid McCoy having a little the best of it. In the fifteenth and last round McCoy jabbed his left three times on the wind and- swung his right on head and after this it was all over. He landed a loft on the jaw and Ryan went down at the ropes. He got up as the referee counted ten but it was his last attempt as mcuoy sent right and left on face and jaw, putting Ryan down and out. He tried to get up, but he was done for, and the referee counted him out Kyan was carried back ts his cor ner in a badly battered condition and had to be helped out of the ring. Referee liurat declared McCo-r the winner amid the cheers and yells of the spectators, who lionized the "Kid." ATCHISON GIN SHOOT. Wanda.' "Arkmw "Roll! O." Will Ho Travolsr" and Pi-ssant. Atchisoit.

The annual meeting of the Metropolitan Association of Cycling dobs was held at the Colum bia last night, and most of the bicycle clubs in the metropolitan district were represented One of the stirring features of the ses sion was a proposition made by a local advertising concern to advance to the association the $12,000 necessary to build a cycle path from New York to Phila delphia. The proposed route will be by way of New Brunswick, which would make the distance about 120 miles. Of course, the concern making the offer had other than a philanthropic motive. DROP FRAME BIKE.

Tall silver candela bra stood at each end, and countless hors d'oeuvres in silver dishes, carrying out as nearly as possible the color scheme of the flowers, were scattered at their base. SQUELCHED BY SCIENCE. How a Lovar Xxmt tbe Hand of s Great w Heiress. CHAPTER I. J. Ponpon Mortgage, r. the renowned financier, sat in his sumptuously furnished office. In Wail street, thinking bitter, hard thoughts. Deep lines furrowed his brow, and his fingers twitched nervously as he turned a letter over and over in his hands and road again the lines therein. "jSever have I tried to thwart my daughter's slightest wish," he said at last, "but this thing is too serious. Upon it depends her whole f uturs happiness. This letter from Roggy Van Ordinaire tolls nio that he loves her, and that she returns his affection. Ka, is it so? Then I must and shaU cure her of this absurd passion 1 Boy!" A yocth entered the private office and bowed to the great financier. "Go to this address and tell the professor to call at my house tonight at 8 o'clock, and to bring a Rumkorff coil and a Crookes tube wlth'him." The youth bowed again and left the office. "Onco mora will I save my fortunes by the use of the cathode rays," muttered the banker. "Ha, Keggy Van Ordinaire, I doubt me if yon can stand that test!" CHAPTER II. Eeggy Van Ordinaire and Mildred Mort gage sat in the yellow drawing room of Banker J. Ponpon Mortgage's palatial mansion, on Murray hill. Reggy was in faultless1 evening dress, and Mildred wore a charming gown. The skirt was of plain black satin, wall made and perfectly hang ing. The bodice was of pale blue soft silk, with tho genuine 1830 sleove, begin ning to puff low on the shoulder. It elided in a deop cuff of olive green velvet. Tho bodice proper was of silk under chiffon, with three simulated box plaits of olivo green velvet beginning at the short, square yoke.' The high stock collar fastened in an olive green rosette. Suddenly the lights went out, and the subtle cathode rays from a Crookos tube were directed full on Roggy. Neither he nor Mildred noticed it, because they were too deeply submerged in the sweet dream3 of perfect love. CHAPTER III. "Mildred, darling, hear me! I swear to yon that" "Stop!" The beautiful girl raised her genuine 1830- sleeve -beginning -to puff-low-on-the-shoulder arm witn an Imperi ous gesture. "Stop, Reginald Tabbeldote Van Ordi naire! It is useless for you to attempt to deny the evidence of a Roentgen process cathode photograph. Seo for yourself!" and the proud girl held out a large photo graph. Roggy looked at it, and then turned as white as he conveniently could. There, in the horrible cathode picture, was his face and form in evening dress; but)" standing out with startling clearness, were the pic tures of three of his other girls, which lie had in an inside pocket, five love letters written by Mildred's rival, 15 cents in coin in his vest pocket, nine pawn tickets, a half used commutation ticket for a Bow ory eating house and a dunning letter for his room rent. He also noticed, with hor ror, that the outlines of his dickey, or false shirt front, were standing out with cruel distinctness in the photograph. "I could have perhaps forgiven the rest," cried Mildred, with a proud toss of her shapuly head, "but the dickey never!" And Reginald Tabbeldote Van Ordi naire swanklod out into the cheerless night, a broken man. Now York World. Smooth as silk is the way onr collars feel now. Peerless Steam Laundry, 112 and 114 W. 8th.

Views on Politics for the Com ing: Summer. United States Senator W. A. Peffer is at home, Senator Peffer arrived this forenoon from Washington to be present at the annual meeting of the Advocate Publish ing company tomorrow. Senator Peffer owns a majority of the stock' in the Ad vocate company and he wants to per sonally superintend the business of the concern. The present trouble in Cuba and the action taken by congress will result in home rule for Cuba, according to Sena tor Peffer's views. He says the concur rent resolution passed by the senate and house will have only a moral effect on Spain, while a joint reso lution, which would have been signed by the president, would have placed the United States in an en tirely different attitude. He says Gen. Weyler is regarded as a Sixteenth cen tury man and that the Spanish -government will be forced to remove him and the final result will be that Cuba will be placed in about the same relation to Spain that Canada now holds to Kngland. Senator Peffer thinks congress will ad journ for its summer vacation some time in June and that there will be no general legislation except possibly a bankruptcy act. He says the members of congress in .all three parties see the necessity of some such legislation and that a bill to allow a man te go into voluntary bankruptcy is a possibility. He thinks any legislation changing -the revenue laws is out of the question and the sen ate will Hold out for free silver as a con dition for the passage of a revenue bill or for any bond legislation. According to the senator's views there will be a Bplit in both the Republican and Democratic parties this year on the silver question. He Bays the Democrats may stand by a gold stand ard candidate for the presidency if nomi nated by the national convention, but that the Democrats will stand no show of carrying any Btatea north or south. If tbe gold staudard Republicans capture the Republican national convention and the silver Republicans remain passive it is possible that the Republican candidate may be elected. But if the silver Republicans who are dissatisfied with the work of the national convention go into the silver conference at St. Louis in July a new party will be organized under a new name satisfactory to all and it will carry the country. If the silver men of the old parties go into the silver conference in large num bers the Populists will be willing to sur render some of their so-called "isms" of tbe Omaha platform and go into the new organization; but if otherwise the Popu lists will make their lis tit along the present line and will carry a few addi tional states and prepare to go into the fight to elect a president in 10 JO.

A member told a railroad man that the order now numbers 158,000 men and is growing fast. The dues are only a dol far a yaar. It is the intention to go into politics.

Postmaster Homer Reed is of the opinion that the postoffiee department will not try the horseless mail wagons in this city on ac count of the many hills that are to be en countered. He is, however, of the opin ion that in many cities like Chicago, Washington, Topeka and other places where there are easy grades on the streets, the horseless vehicle will be test ed and prove equal to the emergency and be adopted A CHICAGO "RULER." An Alderman Rnns Amnck Is Rolled in tbe Hnd and Arrested. Chicago. March 3. Alderman Wil liam J. Doerr ran amuck last night, and within and hour after he began to run he was dragged into the cen tral police station covered with mud, his nose bleeding, his face scratch ed, and deranged fragments of what had been his coat, were dangling from his shoulders. The city father made a fight and it took half a dozen officers to get him to the police station. He was only quieted when he was thrown flat on the floor and a corpulent copper was seated on his chest. Doerr began his rampage by running into a trolley car with a baggy. Then he clinched the car and tried to thrasn the motorman. The conductor came to his rescue and Doerr tried to shoot him. They fought all over tbe car, and final ly a policeman dragged the alderman into the street. This suited the alderman, and he fonght the policeman on the side walk, on the car track and in the gutters. When more policemen came he tried to thrash them as well. He was thumped, battered and rolled in the mud, but he could not be pacified, noth ing suited him. Finally he was dragged to the station, and when the fat officer roos'ed on his respiratory apparatus, the alderman gave it up. He was bailed out by friends. TO SUSTAIN THE TETO.

Wheat There was an easier feeling from start to finish today, and every time it bulged up a little, was met with heavy selling orders. Receipts in the north west were considerably lighter than last year, and were only fair at primary points. The main bearish feature was on account of generally favorable weather over the winter wheat belt, small ex ports, aod indifferent cables. On the other hand, however, cash demand from millers was very good, and this de cline is e.xpeced to bring in good export orders. Receipts in the north west are about exhausted, and no fear is now entertained regarding large receipts from that quarter. The situation .remains unchanged and it is only a question of a short time until a good advance will be scored. Corn aud oats quiet and featureless, sharing the weakness in wheat to some extent. Receipts of corn are increasing slightly but cribbers are busily engaged storing it away to await higher prices. Provisions stroqg and higher on ac count of the light run of hogs and short covering of pork. It is figured that tile heavy run of hogs is now over and that a good advance is due ia May pork. upttu.

Emporia Republican: Mr. Trontman has formally announced his candidacy for governor. There seems to be no danger of Governor Morrill having a second term forced upon him. The nomination of Congressman Brod erick, which is now assured, clearly in dicates the sentiment of the people in the First district on the silver question. Broderick voted for free and unlimited coinage at 16 to 1. If the favorite son idea ia to apply in the selection of a Democratic candidate for the presidency, B?ice should be able to go into the convention backed by the delegations of Ohio, New York and Rhode Island. Thi Republicans in the United States senate will need a Populist vote in order to seat Dupont as senator from Dela ware. They cau probably get it by at taching a free Bilver rider to the resolu tion giving him the office. If by any possibility the country is to elect a Democratic president, and the choice lies between Carlisle and Brice, give us Brice by all meaDS. He makes do pretensions to honesty or decency. Any body is preferable to a hypocrite like Carlisle. In the Kentucky legislature, nothing bow stands in the way of the election of Blackburn to the United States senate but the influence of the national admin istration which ia holding five Demo cratic votes away from the party candi date because he favors silver. Perhaps the reason that John W. Breidenthal and I. O. Pickering declined to serve on Mr. deed's committee of five was that they considered a law for the suppression of the saloon and an ad ministration pledged to its enforcement should be all that ia required. Senator Tillman is getting large au diences. His speeches and writings are eagerly sought and printed by the lead ing newspapers of the country. A good newspaper always knows what the peo ple want to read. They evidently are interested in whatever Tillman has to ay. Thi present outlook indicates that this will be a year effusions. Democrats and Populists will fuse in Republican states and Republicans and Populists in Demo cratic states. If the same set of presi dential electors are voted for ia all these it may cause the result to be very doubt ful. Congressman Bowers in a recent speech on the Paciflo railroad fundi ng bill made use of a bit of private history which furnished an apt illustration of the difference between corporations and pri vate citizens. He said: '-Let them pay their debts as I have to pay mine. I once owned a piece of property on the Pacific coast, which ia today worth $100, 000. I had given a mortgage on it for f 48,000, which I could not meet when it came due and they sold me out, and I lost; but no ona proposed a funding bill for me. I am a common citizen. The funding bills only apply to corpor ations." In its effort to recover $15,000,000 from the estate of the late Leland Stanford the government has again Buffered defeat at the hands of its own courts. How the government would rob the people if it did not establish courts to keep it from doing so. The government seems to have established the supreme court for the express purpose of protecting it (the government) against itself. What kind of people have we at Washington who not content with trying to hold up the Goulds and Vanderbilts for a portion of their hard earned cash are now trying to deprive a lone widow of a portion of the property left her by her dead husband because he happened to swindle the government out of a few millions during his life time. Ei-Presideut Har rison waa Mrs. Stanford's attorney and his fee ia the case will doubtless prove a Dice little plam on which to go to house keeping next month. IRRTOATION IK KANSAS. Century for March: In-Finney county, near the western border of Kansas, thousands of aerea were planted to wheat, and it seemed the sanest of projects to build a grist mill to grind the crop. This was undertaken near the Arkanaas river by enterprising merchants in the neighboring community of Garden City; but the new institution began and ended with a mill-race. Before the building and machinery were required, the wheat crop had surrendered to dry air and hot winds. The semi-arid character of the great plains west of the 100th meridian, long known to- stockmen and Indiana, but denied by greedy land agents, and discredited by eager and hopeful settlers had again asserted itself with unmistak able emphasis. Not an acre of the crop was harvested. The prairie schooners set sail and steered for other parts. Towns dwindled to mere hamlets. All the nebulous industrial, educational, and railroad projects suddenly descend ed from the sublime to the ridiculous. And yet the blighted seed waa destined to bear another and far more fatal crop, and the forgotten mill-race on the banks of the Arkansas to grind a grist that would prove historic. A few settlers remained to rake amid the ashes of their rained hopes. Among them was a man who had learned the methods of irrigation while living in California and Colorado. It happened that his land adjoined the abandoned mill-race, and he readily obtained the right to turn the water upon a part of his farm. The result, though not sur prising to the practical irrigator, was a revelation to his thoroughly disheartened neighbors. The soil which had produced nothing in the previous summer responded to the new method of cultivation with enor mous crops of all varieties of products. In quality they surpassed anything pre viously grown in that legion. As these facts became known a new hope arose, like a star in the night, against the dark background of past discouragements. The Garden City "experiment" bs came the Mecca of students of irrigation throughout the wide region devastated by the drouth. The ruined crop of the previous year, and the ussless mill race gave birth to an influence which in fifteen year3 has assumed far reaching proportions. This influence, by revealing the need of irrigation in a ter ritory which had hitherto depended en tirely upon the rainfall, extended the known limits of arid America hundreds of miles to the eastward, and more than 1,000 miles north and south, thus adding to the empire of irrigation all the west era portion of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, together with eastern Colorado. Iu this vast district it has begun to revolutionize both the industrial and social life of the people. It has- com pelled the atteution of legislatures, cre ated new laws and administrative sys tems in Beveral states, wrung a few mea ger appropriations from congress, and set on foot various industrial and educational undertakings. The problems of the semi arid region are peculiarly its own, dif fering materially from those of the desert states west of the continental divide. The movement which has wrought these momentous changes alike in public sen timent and in methods of industry, has found its warmeet championship in Kan sas, where it has been reduced to perfect organization through the instrumentality of press and platform. Throughout the semi-arid region, but particularly in Kan sas, there are effective state, coun y and township associations urging the adop tion of irrigation as the price of prosper ity, and extending, by means of conven tions and popular literature, the common knowledge of its practical aspects. Following is the opinion of Count von Mirbach, a member of the German reich stag, of what will happen if there is no international action taken toward the rehabilitation of silver: "If the system of bimetalio currency ia not achieved, the United States will ultimately be obliged to resort to exclusive free coin age of silver. This will make imports into America from gold currency coun tries in Europe impossible, and also se cure for American exports premiums of nearly GO per cent, secure the parity of American currency and thus obtain for the United States a monopoly of the deal ings with those countries." As the State Journal supported Mr. Elue in 1894, knowing him to be a gold bug, we suppose it will not desert him in '9S should he be nominated. Kansas Commoner. The Journal did not support Mr. Blue in 1894, or at any time.- Mr. Blue in 1894 was a waverer. At one place he was for silver, and at another for gold. Col. Blue ia neither a goldbug nor a sil ver advocate. He is simply a plain, com mon blatherskite, looking after his own personal interests. He is not a credit to Kansas, even intellectually. A gold standard organ suggests that the Fourth district congressional con vention frame a gold standard platform for Congressman Curtis to run on. This would be no serious embarrassmentto Mr. Curtis aa he seems to be one of the few members of congress who regard it aa their duty to reflect the views of their constituents. It would be very foolish, however, to endanger the return of so faithful a servant of the people by hampering him in the race with a plat form so at variance with the evident sentiments of the people. It should -be remembered that this district failed to elect a Republican in 1890. Boils and sores indicate impurities in the blood. Ayer'e Sarsaparilla eradicates humors. .Subscribe for the Journal. ASTORCflURCHILL. It Is Said Their Engagement Will Soon Be Announced. LIDI BJBDOLPH A YERY CLEYER Woman To Brilliant to Be Popn. lar. An English paper says that the engage ment of William Waldorf As tor to Lady Randolph Churchill will soon be an nounced. Lady Randolph Churchill was Miss Jen nie Jerome, daughter of Leonard Joronia of New York. Lord Randolph Churchill married her in January, 1874. William Waldorf Astor is the head of his family. He was the only son of John Jacob Astor the third. He Inherited as such the bulk of the Astor estate. He is said to be worth from flOO.000,000 ta 5150,000,000, most of 16 In real estate In New York. If Mr. William Waldorf Aetor has any political aspirations In England, he can hardly do better than secure Lady Ran dolph Churchill for a helpmate. She is a woman of remarkable sagacity and ahxewd- LADY RANDOLPH CHURCHILL. ness and justly deserves the credit of hav ing been the principal factor in attaining the celebrity and eminence achieved by her late husband. To such an extent was this the case that Lord Randolph Church ill, who was of a very jealous and sus ceptible turn of mind, would frequently display irritation at the notion of his wifo being regarded as responsible for his suc cess. She is not widely popular in London so ciety. She is too brilliant for that, for women of her intellectual caliber are re garded with ill will when they have the misfortune of being foreigners. Nor is she persona grata at court. At neither Windsor nor Marlborough House is she liked, and if she wears attached to her left shoulder the insignia of the order of the Crown of India the latter does not imply a token of royal favor, since it was conferred in accordance with the invariable custom that prescribes the grant of this particular order to the wives of statesmen who have held the office of secretary of state fcr India. The queen has never forgotten the slight placed upon herself by Lord Randolph Churchill when, during a visit to her maj esty, he coolly notified the newspapers by letters written upon note paper bearing tho royal cipher that he had resigned his office of chancellor of the exchequer without having previously informed his sovereign or the prime minister of his determination. Lady Randolph is not a woman to hide her light under a bushel or to be content with mediocrity. As long as her husband was well off she prided herself on having the most perfectly appointed house in Lon don. Everything in the Randolph Church ill establishment in Connau-jht place waa of the superlative order. All things were arranged on a princely scale, and the house was one of the first In London to be fitted with electrio light. Lady Randolph's salon was as celebrat ed as her table, and it was a terrible blow to her when, owing to Lord Randolph's financial reverses, she was compelled to give up housekeeping and to reside with her mothcr-in-law, tho old Duchess of Marlborough. There is no one that better understands how to spend money to tho best advantage than Lady Randolph, and, moreover, she may yet require a great deal of it for the sake of her son, Winston. By marrying Mr. Astor Lady Randolph will become plain Mrs. Astor, for her first husband was not a peer of the realm, nor had he even a title of nobility In the eyes of the law, his predicato -of "lord" being purely a matter of social courtesy such as is always accorded to the younger sons of dukes and marquises. With the American Duohess of Marlborough the case was dif- WILLIAM WALDORF ASTOR. ferent, but even there the practice of re taining in a second marriage the title of the first husband is discouraged, the queen having insisted that the relict of Mr. Hamersley should be presented at court on the ocoasion of her third marriage not as the Duchess of Marlborough, but as Lady William Beresford. The attitude of the Prince of Wales to ward Lady Randolph Churchill is to a cer tain extent influenced by the part which she took in siding with )-r husband in his very bitter quarrel with the heir apparent. It was on the subject of the late Duke of Marlborough's intimacy with the dowager Countess of Aylesford, who was the core spondent in the divorce obtained by his wife. The prince, who was the most intimate friend and chum of the late Lord Ayles ford, popularly known as Joey, insisted that the duke should adopt a certain course with regard to the scandal, especially in 111 J&Sm connection with some compromising corre spondence, and when the duke declined brought pressure upon Lord Randolph Churchill v obtain his end. Lord Ran dolph resetted this, and it Is probable that no heir to a great throne has been called upon to listen to suoh a tongue lash ing as that to which he waa subjected by Lord Randolph. Mr. Astor Is not yet popular In Eng land, nor has he obtained any serious foot hold in London society. The Conntess of Cork, Lady Coventry and a few similar hostesses have opened their doors to him, Lady Cork even acting as his social spon sor. But the really great houses such as those of the Duchesses of Buccleugh, Port land and Westminster, of the Countesa Cowper, etc., are closed to him, not be cause there ia any objection to his person al character, but merely because the great English nobles strongly resent the advent upon the scene of American multimillion aires who are possessed of incomes as big as or bigger than their own with no corre sponding obligations. An English nobleman who derives an Income of $1,000,000 from his estates prob ably has but a twentieth part of that sum if indeed so much which be can really call bis own, or which he Is at liberty to spend at will, the balance being taken up in ohargoa of one kind and another npon his estates. This resentment was voiced by the Duke of Devonshire and many other wealthy peers, as well as by territo rial magnates in the house of commons during the debates last year on the subject of the death and succession duties. Then, too, Mr. Astor has antagonized a Dumber of prominent people by impolitic quarrels and oddities of manner, the ef fects of which, in event the marriage now being discussed becomes a reality. Lady Randolph will probably now attempt to obliterate, jnst in the same way that sho smoothed away many of the angry pas sions aroused by the brusqueries and even downright rudeness of her first husband. New York Journal. SILENCED BY A J0EE. Wly Congressman Craln Never Delivered Another Speech In the House. The death of Congressman William H. Crain of Texas removes from political life one of the brightest minds in the south, t Mr. Crain used to be one of tho leaders of the house. He never spoke without tho greatest attention, for he always spoke well. For five years past, however, Mr. Crain had practically taken no part in the proceedings of the house. His usefulness was destroyed by a joke, a joke from which he never recovered. Mr. Craln was first elected to t"he Forty ninth congress. He was handsome in ap pearance, well posted on all subjects, an orator and a man of great personal mag netism. These qualities immediately brought him to the front. His first speech in congress made him a name. The news paper correspondents took a great fancy to him and often wrotw flattering articles about him. It was Curing the Fifty-first congress that he was sitting in the Press club one afternoon discussing politics with a party of newspaper men. To one of them he re marked upon the fact that when some men spoko all tho correspondents left tho gallery and retired to the lobby, while when others addressed the .house they crowded into the house to hear. He addod that he noted they always came in to hear him, and he, otpected ail of them to bo present on tfae-next day, when he expected to make the speech of his life on the Mo Kinley tariff bill. y The next morning the press gallery was crowded to hear the debate. There wero several speakers to precede Mr. Crain. During their speeches tho gallery remained full, but the moment Mr. Crain took the floor every correspondent in the gallery arose and filed out into the lobby. It was arranged on the part of the correspondents as a little joke on the Texan. The concerted action of the correspond ents naturally had its effect npon Mr. Crain. It annoyed him so that he cut his speech short and quickly resumed his seat. The momont he did all the correspondents filed back into the gallery and listened to the other speeches. Though given to joking himself, Mr. Crain could never realize the joke of it. From that day to the day of his death he never delivered another set speech in the bouse and rarely ever said anything on the floor. It was a shock from which he never recovered.

"Which means," returned his wife sharply, "that yon have some fling to take at. woman. Not at all," be replied. "I am merely giving yon the result of my re flections. I do not think that even yon will try to maintain that society and business are the same thing, or even near allied." "Well, what is the lesson that you wish to draw from that?" she asked. "I know that you are driving at some thing. "It has occurred to me," he eaid, "that fashion pertains to social life and should not be allowed to gain a foothold in the business world. Women should he compelled to lay it aside when they attempt to compete with men. "Something has happened to disturb yon today, John," she said, with con viction. "I admit it," he replied. "And in your usual underhanded, roundabout way yon are endeavoring to console yourself by saying unkind things about women." "I am merely voicing the reflections that were forced npon me by my expe rience. "What have yon been doing?" she demanded. "I have been standing behind two women in big sleeved coats at a lunch counter," he answered. Chicago Post. A Colored Revlvallat.

USE FOB TUE SCORCHER. Might lis Pot to Generating Electricity When Encaged In Indoor Exercise. Among recent developments to which the widespread use of the bicycle has led Is a maohine for enabling the cyclist to train or take hia exercise indoors in bad weather. The rider sits on the saddle and works the pedals in the usual way, and while the wheels revolve, their force is ex pended on the turning of an endless belt, and the bicycle never moves from the spot. It has occurred to a French elec trician that some useful work can be done at the same time. He has accordingly de signed an apparatus, in which the driving wheel of a safety bicycle of the usual typo is raised from the floor, and, by means of a strap and speed gearing, made to drive a small dynamo, which ia used to charge accumulators. This idea of turning exercise into a use ful product outside of its own special pur pose is capable of wide application. One instance of it will readily be remembered. Nansen, in fitting out the Fram for bis rash arctic expedition, bad a capstan placed on deck, the shaft of which waa connected by gearing with the ship's dynamo. The object of this was that in the long dark winter of the polar regions the crew should daily take the exereise needed for health, by doing their shift at the capstan, and at the same time generate the elec tricity needed for lighting the ship. In some English prisons, where the energy derived from the working of the treadmill by the convicts has hitherto been insuffi ciently utilized, it is now proposed to turn it to the generation of electricity for light ing the buildings, making tho prison in dustries more remunerative and giving the prisoners a training which will enable them to live honestly when they are dis charged. CHAMPION HERBERT EVANS. The Clever Bostonian Demonstrates Ei Superiority as a Figure Skater. Herbert S. Evans of Boston now stands at the head of the list of fancy skaters in this country, having won the amateur fig ure skating championship of- America at the recent tournament in New York by defeating the former champion, G. D. Phillips, and a host of other aspirants for the honor. Mr. Evans is a prominent young Bos tonian and is engaged in the real estate business at the Hub. He is of rather slight build and is a little less than medium height. He has always been fond of skat ing as a sport, but it was not until about six years ago that he realized the artistic possibilities of the sport. Having decided to master the art of skating, he set about to accomplish the task in his own way, totally disregarding the methods employed by other crack skaters. Mr. Evans has brought out a whole lot of new things, and his originality forms one of the chief characteristics of his work. j Mr. Evans made his first appearanco as i a nguro skater in 1S89, when he made a try for the Massachusetts championship HERBERT 8. EVANS. against J. F. Bacon. It was at this time that Mr. Evans began to study figure skat ing and its artistic possibilities in the way of working out original designs. He first drew his figures on paper and afterward produced them on the ice. With romark ablo perseverance, he was finally satisfied that he would some day master the art. In those days it was considered quite a feat to write one's name on the ice by us ing both skates. Sometimes it was.acoom plished by striking the toe of one skate in to the ice and cutting out the letters with the other skate. This kind of work was child's play for Mr. Evans, and he proceed ed to write his name in an entirely new manner, by using only one skate. His progress at the start was rather slow, but sure, and in 1890 he captured third prize in the New England skating cham pionship. Since then he has gradually worked his way to the top rung of the championship ladder. In 1894 Mr. Evans was a champion for the first time, securing first honors in the Canadian tournament held at Ottawa, but he lost this titlo the following year. Mr. Evans had by this time acquired quite a reputation as a fancy skater, but when ho entered the New York tourney for the championship of America it was nob thought that he could successfully cope with Champion Phillips. The Boston skater, nothing daunted, entered the lists and at once went to the front, although Phillips was quite dangerous until it came to the intricate figures. At this kind of work Evans had it all to himself, and In the end he won by seven points. CYCLING NOTES. Baltimore wants the 1897 meet. The election of Sterling Elliott as presi dent of the L. A. W. gives general satis faction to wheelmen. During the cycle show held at New York $18,000 worth of souvenirs were given away by the exhibitors. Edward J. Reid, aged 15, was the win-. Der of a ten mile road race at Long Branch, N. J., recently. It has been suggested that boys out of employment could make a comfortable liv ing by establishing stands in prominent places for cleaning bicycles. A. E. McCrea broke the world's mile record in California recently from a stand ing start. He was paced by two quads. Time, 1 minute 49 3-5 seconds. It is tbe intention of the New York di vision officers to push the bicycle baggage question to the limit of their power. They desire to have the test decided in that state and will spare neither pains nor expense to obtain a favorable verdict. The Chicago show cleared C90, 000, one half of which goes to the board of trade and one-half to tbe Cycle Exhibition com pany, the New York show, after all ex penses are paid, will net at least $60,000, of which the board of trade will get half.

The Topeka Saving Bank Closes Cp Its Business aud Pays Iepnllors. In another column of this paper will be seen the notice of the Topeka Savings bank, which calls in all books and ad vises depositors that hereafter no deposits will be received nor interest paid upon accounts. The bank wa3 opened in 1837. The capital invested was not large, and as the past few years have been extremely bad for all financial business, and as the bank paid interest upon all money deposited, it has not been a source of profit to the incorporators. The directory have concluded that it would be wise to discontinue at this time and pay off the depositors, and while they regret the move, as the institution has undoubtedly beeu of great service to quite a number of the citizens of Topeka, and of considerable profit to them as well, (the bank having paid abont $20,000 in interest on accounts) circumstances are such that the directory do not think they would be justified in a longer con tinuance of the business. F0BTY CENTS YOU THE HEIRS. Entat Worth S2 0,000 Eten Up Ia Zrftgal Expenses. A striking illustration of the manner in which a large estate may be literally eaten up in the process of probate was given re cently in the probate department of the superior court of Los An gules county, Cal. In December, 1870, Incarnacion Bucina died in Los Angeles, leaving an estate valued at $20,000, which has been in the courts on litigation growing out of the settlement ever since, dragging along un til it was almost forgotten by (hose who had originally instituted the proceedings. When the public administrator caine into court, n few days ago, to file his ac counts end settle the business of the estate, it was found that, after all claims and costs of administration had been allowed, there was bat 40 oents left to divide among the heirs. During the time that had elapsed since the death of Bucina all of the heirs had either died or left the coun try, and, there being no claimant for the remnant of the competency, the judge, a ter mature deliberation, ordered the full amount turned into the county treasury, thereby closing the account. There have been numerous cases where large estates have dwindled into insignifi cance after they had passed through the hands of administrators, but this is be lieved to be the first on record where the entire property has been consumed in the mere matter of paying routine legal ex penses where there has been no particular contest and no charge of dishonesty on the part of those who had the matter in charge.

Richard Wake Will Retire Some Interesting; Bfe Abont the State Temperance Union. The annual meeting of the state tem perance union ia now being held in To peka. The first seasion, a preliminary busi ness meeting, is being held this after' noon at the First Presbyterian ohurch, where all the sessions of the convention will be held. At this afternoon session President Wake will appoint his committees and some short speeches will be made by the delegates. This evening President Wake will make his annual report and will in con clusion announce to the union hia deter mination to decline to further serve the union as its pres ident, Mr. J. W. Gieed aud Mr, A. H. Vance of Topeka are the two men most talked of in connection with the presidency of the union for nextyear and it is most likely that Mr. Vance will be made president, unless some man out- aide of Topeka is selected for that place. Following the president's report this evening there will be a temperance ad dress by Editor E. W. Hoch of the Ma rion Record. Tomorrow morning the business ses sion will be held, and the report of the committee on resolutions will come up far consideration, which will give an op portunity for a contest for the endorse ment of Governor Morrill's adminstration if his friends are there to look after hi interests. The programme for Wednesday night's meeting has not yet been, definitely ar ranged. HOKRILL WOBIDS'I CONTRIBTTE Xolthar Would Stato Superintendent of Insurance Anthonv. Two distinguished officials in the state capitol building who have declined to contribute to the support of the fe;a(e Temperance union are no other than Governor E. N. Morrill and ex-Governor George T. Anthony who is now at the head of the state department of insur ance; and these are the only two, strange to say. When the financial agent of the State Temperance union went through the state house not long ago and solicited contributions toward the support of the work in which he is interested, he met with a cordial reception everywhere, but in the governor's office and in the insur ance department. Governor Morrill is the first chief executive Kansas has had in late years who has npt contributed liberally towards the temperance anion, but he has posi tively declined to either put up one cent or one dollar, and furthermore has de clined to allow the use of his name on the subscription paper for the influence it might exert. When the temperance union agent visited the insurance department Ex Governor Anthony received him with a smile, but when the wants of the repre sentative of the cause of law enforce ment were made known the atmosphere began to grow cold and with his cusrom ary dignity theex-goernor informed the visitor that the Temperance union was not doing what it ought to do. He said, "You are going at this work at the wrong end. There is too much talk about law enforcement and not enough real temperance work done in the way of educating the children. Let the law alone and educate the children ia tem perance habits." After listening for about five minutes the agent of the temperance union with drew. A few days later he went back to try his powers of persuasion once more on the superintendent of insurauce. Gov ernor Anthony began again to scold the temperance union. "Mr. Anthony I will soon begin to think you are not a very good friend of temperance," suggested the financial agent of the anion in as mild a manner as he could command. It is related that Mr. Anthony lost his temper and stormed. He stormed so loud and so strong that the temperance union agent could not remember much that was said, except that the head of the department showed him the door and ordered him out of hia office. SECOND DISTRICT CANDIDATES. Oev. X P. St. JUa and Edwin Taylor ?ropeetive JPupallet Candidates. Ex-Governor John P. St. John and State Senator Edwin Taylor, of Wyan dotte county, are the two men now being considered by the Populists as suitable congressional timber in the Second dis trict. Senator Taylor will only be seriously considered as a congressional candidate in the event of the nomination of Billy Buchan by the Republicans. Senator Tayior, although affiliating with the Populists, was elected four years ago as en anti-BuchanRepublican and he defeat ed Buchan in Wyandotte county by 1,500 votes. The Populists think Senator Tay lor could beat Buchan as badly for con gress as he did for the state senate. The Pleasanton Herald, one of the leading Populist papers in the Second district, is out in a double-leaded editor ial, declaring that ex-Governor John P. St. John should be made the Populist candidate for congress in that district. St. John has never affiliated with the Populists, bnt he is for free silver, and could no doubt have the Populist nomi nation if he would accept it. They Left Wills. It is said that neither T. J. Kellam nor E. P. Kellam left wills to provide for the distribution of their fortunes. The men were worth in the neighborhood of $100,000 each when they died and their fortunes will go to their families as the law provides. T. J. Kellam left a wife and three children. But one child and a wife survive E. P. Kellam. It follows that the fortunes will be kept intact. Th Hottest Boom la Tows. Yon can have it, if yon want it. We will tell you the way to get it.

LET CONTRACT THURSDAY. The Furnishing of New Electric Lights for the City. MATTER EOT SETTLED LST HIGHT. Other Matters Disponed of by the City Connell Minor Mention. The city council seemed afraid to grap ple with the electric light contract last night. The representatives of the bid ders were present and fortified, but noth ing was said by any one. City Engineer Barnes had been sent to Lawrence to consult Professor Blake about the respective merits of the two dynamos being considered and he was present at the meeting, bat he was 'not allowed to make his report. City Engineer Barnes waa not able to secure a positive opiaion from Professor Blake. He answered technical ques tions, but positively refused to say which he considered the best machine. He said that he did not consider it a fatal mistake to run a dynamo at a greater rate of speed than 600 revolutions. He also said that the weight of the dynamo did not cut a great figure. The council adjourned to next Thurs day evening-, when the contract for the electric light plant improvements will be finally settled. Councilman Drew says that the contract will be let this week. It appears that the council is about evenly divided on the question of letting the contract between the Western Elec tric company, of Chicago, and the Ft. Wayne Electrical corporation. The bids are only a few dollars apart, but one of the companies provided for hoods for the lamps as called for In the specifi cations while the other did not. One of the companies claim that hoods are not necessary, and to offset that they offer a patent hanging device. CITY FUNDS. The Conditio of tha City Treasury Show' Little Change.

STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1896. GRATIFYING RESULTS. INTERESTING EXPERIHENTS WITH THE NEW STOMACH REflEDY. Sot s Patent Metlicloe, Bnt at Sire Care for All Fornu or Indiseillon. The results of a recent investigation, have established, beyond a question, the groat value of the new preparation for indigestion and stomach troubles; it is composed of the digestive acid, pepsin, bismuth, Golden Seal and similar stom achics, prepared in the form of 20 grain lozenges, pleasant to the taste, conven ient to carry when traveling, harmless to the most delicate stomach, and probably the safest, most effectual cure yet dis covered for indigestion, sour atamacb, loss of appetite and flesh, nausea sick headaches, palpitation of the heart, and the many symptoms arising from imper fect digestion of food. They cure be cause they cause the food to be promptly and thoroughly digested before it has time to sour, ferment acd poison the blood and nervous system. Judge Frank Ives, of District Court of Crookslon, Minn., says: For some time 1 have used Stuart's Dispepsia Tablets with seeming great benefit, with few ex ceptions, I have not been so free from in digestion In twenty-five years. Geo. W. Roosevelt, U. S. Consul to Brussels, Belgium: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, safe, pleasant to. take, conven ient to carry, give keen appetite, perfect digestion. Mr. W. D. Tomlin, Mechanical engi neer, Dulutb, Minn.: One box of Smart's Dyspepsia Tablets has done its work, and I am again gaining flesh and strength. O. E Ransom, Hustonville, Ky., I was distressed and annoyed for two years with throwing up food, often two or three times a day; had no certainty of retaining a meal if I ate one. Four boxes of the tablets from druggist, have fully cured me. I find them pleasant to lake, convenient to carry. Rev. G. D. Browc, Moudovi, Wia,: The effect of Smart's Dyspepsia Tablets is simply marvelous; a quiet hearty din ner of broiled steak causes no distress since I began their use. Over six thousand people in the state of Mich, alone in 1894 were cured of stomach trouoles by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Full sized packages may be found at all druggists at 5Uc, or sent by mail on receipt of price from Stuart Co., Mar- shall, Mich. JEERS FOIt MANSFIELD. St. Looia Audience Takes Revenge for an Alleged Insult ol a Year Ago. St. Louis, March 3. Richard Mans field a year ago lent himself to unpopti larity in St. Louis by Bcoringan audience at the iiagan opera-bouse and at bis per formance here of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" on bis present appearance at the same tneator, he was hooted, hissea and jeered at. It was between the third and fourth acts of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" that last evenings demonstration started. The spectators applauded enthusiastic ally and .UauBheld responded to the en core with a low obeisance. Immediately a storm of hisses, hoots. jeers and cat calls arose. The torrent of ur.t'er continued for some time and the orchestra endeavored to hush the tu mult by playing. The occupants of the tMrd balcony became enraged. They endeavored to drown the music of the orchestra. A Midway plaisance Bong was started by a number of lusty voices and discord ran riot. las musicians were indig nant. Some of them started to remon strate with those in the gallery aa-l to ncore them for their conduct, but cooler judgment prevailed and the players were instructed to hold their peace. The tumult finally ceased and the play went on,, but hoots, hisses and snatches from the Midway plaisance air at inter val culminated in a terrific chorus of disapproving manifestations.

Attention to tbe Idttle Details Is Essential to Successful Results. In ?order to become an adept in the art of making pastry one must have con siderable practice and experience and must be 'willing to exercise the greatest care. As attention to the small items of detail is 'essential, the following hints in the matter from The Household are here reproduced The flonr that is used shonld be of the best quality and not in the least damp, or the pastry is liable to be heavy. If fresh butter is not used, all the salt Ehonld be washed from it, after which it 6hould be well squeezed in a cloth, for if all the water and buttermilk are not entirely removed, the pastry is liable to be heavy. Lard, if used, should be perfectly sweet and free from odor. Clarified beef dripping could be employ ed advantageously in making pastry; it is used with butter. The beard and rolling pin, which should always be most scrupulously clean, tsbould be kept exclusively for this purpose, and when not in use, be put away from the dust and dirt All the other utensils should also receive care, such as the paste cutter, paste pincher and any other implements used for orna menting the pastry. In warm weather pastry should be made in the coolest spot one can find, as a cool place and cool hands are very necessary for its suc cess. It should be touched as lightly and as little as possible, a light, even pres sure being best, and shonld be cooked very shortly after it is made, to prevent its becoming flat and heavy. Great attention should be paid to the heat of the oven; pun" paste requiring a brisk heat; otherwise it would not rise properly, but would become heavy and devoid of color. All pie dishes, tart tins, etc., should be thoroughly buttered be fore used. A good proportion for puff paste is for every pound of flour to al low one pound of butter and half a pint of water. The water should be added to the flour very gradually, and they should be worked into a smooth paste with the aid of a knife blade. This should be rolled out until it has become cf equal thickness about one inch. The butter Ehonld be added in small quantities, about four ounces at a time, broken into small bits 'and placed upon the paste. After flour has been sifted over these bits of butter, the paste should be folded up and rolled out again, and the same proc ess should be repeated four times. Flour should always be sprinkled freely upon the rolling pin to prevent its sticking. Hanging Drapery. The chief beauty of hanging drapery should be looked for in the folds in which it naturally falls. In choosing material for curtains this should never be forgotten, provided you have the col or which harmonizes with the other col oring in the room, and provided you have also a material which falls into natural and soft artistro folds your cur tains, though simple nnd inexpensive, are sure to be successful. On the other hand, no number of other good quali ties, such as beauty of design and pat tern, will compensate for the loss of these qualities. For bedroom hangings nothing is better than some kind of ma terial like chintz or cretonne, which can be washed or cleaned frequently, or re placed at a comparatively small cost when it becomes thoroughly saturated with Einoke and dust:. Convenient Aprons. There are aprons and aprons; aprons of lace, ribbon and embroidery, very pretty to look at; aprons of gingham with plain hems, very useful, and aprons both nseful and decorative. To protect the dress properly the apron ought not HIGHLY COMMENDED APRONS. only to be of good length in the skirt, but cover, also, the front of the dress waist. When provided with a pocket or two, the value of the apron is consider ably enhanced to the wearer. The aprons here commended are furnished with bibs that come np well over the shoulder, and also with pockets. These aprons may be made quite plain or with needle work decoration, as suits the convenience of the wearer. Fashion Echoes. Grenadines are to be much worn. Linen duck comes in all colors arid will be used again for tbe coat and skirt style of dress. Taffata silks remain fashionable. The) perforated lawns in delicate col ors will be much worn this Bummer, es pecially for waists. Ribbons will be much -used on sum mer gowns. Velvet ribbons will trim the heavier fabrics and Dresden and ganze ribbons the others. Conspicuous colors and striking effects seem to be the tendency of fashion just at present. For the present jackets are cut short and in godet shape. Little boys of 2 and 8 years wear dresses made with a long box plaited waist, with a short kilted skirt sewed on,, find a wide sailor collar, cuffs and belt cf heavy embroidery make up the finish. The tailor made girl delights in a jhatelaine bag of tan pigskin with enameled' silver mounts. SPUING M1LLINEKY. New Ideas in Bats and Bonnets Are Al ready Appearing. Spring millinery is always a topic of absorbing- interest, and the first ad vanced models arc to be seen. These indicate no lessening in the frills, fuss and frivolity which have been charac teristics of the stylish headgear lately, though it is possible that as the season grows older this tendency may be modified. Vast quantities of flowers, particularly wild flowers, will be used, and the omn ipresent aigrette will lose nothing of its present charm. The models now shown are all elaborate, more or less, and large, coming well over the face. This importation has a high crown of butter-colored cloth and a brim of white tulle ruflles, standing erect and edged with black lace. At the base of the crown is a band of black velvet, and one side is finished with a black ostrich. -ip, a large aigrette of black and white, ana a white tulle rosette. Under the brim is a perfect wilder ness of flowers violets, pink roses, holly and gardenia. A sailor hat of heliotrope straw has a medium hig-h crown, with a wreath of pink roses about the brim, covered with heliotrope tulle. On each side, but more toward the back than tne front, is a bunch of violets and leaves, while across the back is a big Alsatian bow of heliotrope taffeta ribbon, caught with brilliant buckles. Under the brim are a couple of bundbes of pink roses. The combination is rather daring, but shows the tendency of the hour to what might be called exceed ing liberality in color. Another bit of similar d.iring is a little toque of vio lets with dark red and yellow roses sunk in the violets, and pink and red roses on one side, a high violet aigrette finishing the effect with a crowning touch of impudent defiance of color conventionalities. Exquisite little dress bon:aets are of velvet, lined with delicate colored silks and fairly binz7 ing with gold, jewels and fancy pins. X. Y. bun. PRETTY RIBBON WORK. Slush Easier Than EmUroiderj But QoJte as Pleasln;; in Effect. Ribbons woven in and out in basket work fashion furnish a resource for those who are tired of embrridery and want quicker and easier employment for idle fingers They ire thus used for pincushions, handkerchiefs and night robe sachets, and for sofa-cu? hions. Ia the latter case the ribbons must be se curely tacked down or they will be quickly rumpled and drawn out of place. "After cutting a lining of silk," says an adept, "the shape and size you de sire, you must- tack alternate rows of different colored satin ribbons as close together as possible, beginning at the top of the lining, and cutting the rib bon off into lengths as you finish each row. Then bcg;n to weave the two colored ribbons in and out. over the dark and under the light one way, re versing the xrder in the next row, so that squares are formed." The hand kerchief sachet illustrated here is made, of pole blue satin ribbon and silver braid of the same width. The corners must be bound with ribbon, nnd a frill of lace and some bows couplete the pretty trifle. X. Y. Tribune. The Lay of a Bachelor. A bachelor old and cranky was sit ting alone in his room. His toes with, the gout were aching, and hi face was o'erspread with gloom. No little one's shouts to disturb him from noises the house was free. In fact, from cellar to attic 'twas as still as still could be. Xo medical aid was lacking. His serv ants answered his ring, respectully heard his orders and supplied him with everything-. But still there, was some thing wanting which he could not com mand the kindly words of compassion, the touch of a gentle hand. And he said, as his brew g-rew darker and he rang for a hireling nurse: "Well, marriage may be a failure, but this is a jolly sight worse." London Standard. Pretty Cover for Washing List. Cases for washing lists are among the new novelties. They make an ex tremely pretty little gift as well as a useful one.

Complaints of the Lawyers About District Court Room. HOT EYEH ROOM FOR THE BAR. Tbe Only Pleasing Featnre la That 'There is Very Little Room for the Great towaibed, and. Part ol What There Is, Should Be Gives to the Lawyers. District Judge Eazen ia not at all pleased with his new quarters in the court house. This is a magnificent building for show," said he today. "There are gome fine hails, indeed, but what does a man want with halls? What we want is some room to do business in. "It seems to me that if the commis sioners, or the architect, had consulted people who have had experience in court houses, who have done work there, the result would have been more satis tory. If they had aaked tbe sheriff, or an ex-sheriff, about that office, ha. would have undoubtedly had a consultation room. Lawyers and judges, people who go through the mill ever day, know what the needs of a court room are better than any architect, I don't care who he iB or where he comes from. "The district court room should have run from the west to the east wall of the building, taking in the space now occupied by my chambers, which are very elegant, indeed. The room is much too email now, and we shall probably have to use it 50 years. If the popula tion increases to only 100,000 in that time it will be absolutely impossible for all me lawyers to get in the room. Judge liobert B. Spillmau, Manhat tan, judge of the Fifth judicial district: 'This building is given over to halls, and Judge Uazen's room is not at all adapted to transacting court business. The Marysville court room is better." Joseph G. Waters: "If God Almighty had been as wasteful of space as these builders have been, he would not have room to turn his planets." W. A. S. Bird: "It's the greatest traves ty on architecture man ever designed." Judge John Guthrie: "No court room at all. No conveniences for holding court." W. A DeFord of Ottawa: "This is a rank court room for a town of this size. Our court house cost only $45 000, but the bar includes more space than this whole room." Thos.il. Bain: "This is a shame. There isn't room enough for half the attorneys." Stenographer Ralph Gaw: "i'hia room is away too small." Not a lawyer who expressed an opin ion gave one favorable to the room. The condemnation is universal. Nearly every one remarks about the lack of con veniences, such aa cloak room, consulting room aud so on. There is absolutely no place where a lawyer can consult with his client while the trial is in progress, or just before going into it. It will have to be done in the halls. But the court room and court house are there to stay for many long years. The attorneys' rail might be moved' back so as to include the whole lower floor, allowing spectators in the balcony-only. There is no crush of lawyers except on motion day or during some important trial. The new room will do very nicely for the court trials and unimportant ac tions. The presence of any number of spec tators iB out of the question. This is, perhaps, a good thing, and all those that do come should be required to show a certificate that they nave taken a bath within twelve months. OLD HIT OR MISS STORY. Sometimes the Courts Kir, Sometimes They Alls, and the People Lose Respect. Mike Thompson, the billard parlor man, is winner by the sheriff's destruc tion of jointist property at the court house Saturday, to the extent of three lnrge "crap" tables. The sheriff did not destroy these, which formerly belonged to Thompson, and the. man' convicted of running gambling games with the tables, loaded them into a wagon and hauled them away. Thompson got the tables rightfully enough, for the sheriff holds District Judge Hazen's order to turn them over to him. When asked about the matter today Judge Ilazen said: "Ilia my recollection that the case was an appealed city case. I think the property was seizad by the police fur violation or city ordinances, though, of course, I may be mistaken, I know of no city law which would justify the destruction of such property, so I ordered it to be returned tu him. If, as you say, the record shows that after the conviction I ordered it destroyed, then Mr. Burdge should have obeyed the order, that is all." But Judge Hazen's memory is not cor rect. It was not an appealed city case that Mike Thompson was convicted on, but under the original information riled on December 19, 18a4, by County Attor ney Safford, and sworn to by Mr. Mere dith. It was a state case from the start. On January 3, 1895, Thompson pleaded guilty to running a gambling house aud was lined $100 and cosis, $42.95. He paid it the same day, and the lollowing order accompanied the entry in criminal appearance docket G in the district clerk's olBce. "Ordered that gambling devices seized by the sheriff be forthwith des. roved." But Sheriff Burdge never received that order. It was never transmitted from the clerk'a office to him. If it had been the record would show it. At that time Mr. A. D. Hubbard ..was in charge of this work. In the two years that Dave Burdge was eheriff he never received an order to destroy a single thing. So by this happy combination of cir cumstances Mike Thompson, who con fessed his crime, gets back his three tables covered with green baize, good for nothing but gambling. Many of the jointista who were not convicted, never got their liquor back. S3 A WIN EE'S VALUATION IS LESS. The Board of CoontT Asseseora Put u Low er Basis of Taxation on Some ThTnss. The basis of valuation placed upon property by the board of assessors o: Shawnee county at its meeting at the court house yesterday afternoon, is a deal lower in some r'eapecta than for 1895. The value of horses and grain shows great depreciation. Work horses of the second class were reduced from $20 to $15; mules, same class, from $25 to $20.

Wheat is pushed up from 20 tc 25 cents a bushel. Bicyclists will have to pay 50per ceat of valuation. Telephone companies will be taxed on $25 for every mile of single wire instead of $15. They will also be taxed for $5 on every telephone. WERE THIRSTY IS FEBRUARY. Topeka, Druggist Recorded More Liquor 6le Lait Month than the Month fre Tlous.

The Jnrr inlhe District Conrl Bel ng Shown How William X.ytle Shot Thomas MeUrats). There ia seldom seen the amount of illustration in the courts that is being nsdd in the McGrath-Lytle damage suit in the district court. It is doubly inter esting from the fact that it takes specta tors to the scene of the Bhooting and shows them the event almost as it occur red. Yesterday the prosecution illustrated with a cigar box the circus ticket wagon through the side of which in September. 189J, William Lytle shot and killed Thomas McGrath in Concordia, Mo. But today the defense went them one better by springing a complete representation of the back: end of the wncon, ticket window and table, the exact dimensions of the wagon. It took up considerable space in front of the bench of pro tern Judge Slonecker, who is trying the case. The show was owned by A K. Fulford, William Lytle and Jesse Elliott. Mc Grath was an employe.

Bow litacola Was Saved trees Drew C us Boy. f However poor the Lincoln home may fcave been, it affected the new child but little, says McClure's Magazine. He was robust and active and life is uU of Interest to the child happy enough to be born in the country. He had several companions. There was his dear sis ter Nancy, or Sarah both names are given to her two years his senior; there was a cousin of his mother's; ten years older; Dennis Hanks, an active nd ingenious leader is sports and mis chief, and there were the eighbora' boys. One of the latter, Austin GoU aher, still tells with pleasure of how he hunted coons and ran the woods with young Lincoln and once even saved bis life. "Yes," said Mr. Gollaher, "the story that I once saved Abraham Lincoln's life is true but it is not correct as gen erally related. "Abraham Lincoln and I bad been going to school together for a year or more and had become greatly attached to each other. Then school disbanded on account of there being so few schol ars and we did not see each other much for a long while. One Sunday my mother visited the Lincolns and I was taken along. Abe and I played around all day. Finally we concluded to cross the creek to hunt for some partridges young Lincoln had seen the day before. The creek was swollen by a recent rain and in crossing on the narrow footing Abe fell in. Neither of us could swim. I got a long pole and held it out to Abe, who grabbed it. Then -I pulled 1 him ashore. He was almost dead and I was badly scared. I rolled and pounded him in good earnest. Then I got him by the arms and shook him, the water meanwhile pouring out ef his mouth. By this means I succeeded in bringing him to and he was soon all right. "Then a new difficulty confronted us. If our mothers discovered our wet clothes they would whip us. This we dreaded from experience and deter mined to avoid. It was June; the sun was very warm and we soon dried our clothinz by spreading it on the rocks about us. We promised nejsBr to tell the story and I never mentioned the incident to any one until after Lincoln's tragic end. "Abraham Lincoln had a sister. Her name was Sallie, and she was a very pretty girl. She went to school when shfa could, which was not often. "Yes, if you must know, Sallie Lin coln was my sweetheart. She was about my age. I loved her and claimed her as boys do. I suppose that was one reason for my warm regard for Abe. When the Lincoln family moved to Indiana I was prevented by circum stances from bidding good-by to either of the children. And I never saw them again." Ges. Lee's Covtcsr, A hitherto unpublished incident in the early life of General Robert E. Lee is told by a lady now living at Warm Springs, who knew General Lee well. The incident occurred shortly after the war, when sectional feeling was run ning very high. At this resort were quartered while General Lee was there a northern general and his daughters, who, by reason of theunorthern affini ties, managed to have a very dull time of it. The lady narrator, noticing this, mentioned it in the next conversation she had with General Lee. Looking up in surprise, the latter said: "I am glad you told me of it. I shall see to it at once that they find it more pleasant." With the courteous dignity which was essentially his he kept his promise. The northern general and his daughters were charmed by the attention he be stowed upon them. As General Lee had set the fashion the young ladies -were soon among the most popular at the hotel, and before the season closed the two old soldiers were warm frieads. A New Adrertlalae Schaaaa.

The currency of the United States was changed from the English system to dollars and cents by act of congress in 1792, by which act the names and values of the different coins were es tablished. The plan of national coin age was adopted in 1785, but no definite action was taken until 1792. Silver was made the standard and served as such up to 1873. At present the double standard is the law, but it is a discre tionary one. Gold is actually the stand ard. Effects of Sadden Religion.
