Later advices from the front, show that the losses of the Italians in the fighting which fol lowed the attack made upon the Ital ians native battalion at Mount Mocran on April 2 were much more severe than at frsi reported. The first advices stated that 5.000 dervishes attacked the Italian forces at the place mentioned and that Col. Stevani's forces from Kassala went to ti-.e assistance of the baiubaon, sur prised t ae enemy and drove them back. The dervishes, however, were rein f i .reed by several detachments from Tucruf and returned to tin- attack, it is a bieii that they were again repulsed in an er ragement which last-.l four hours, during- which tne Italians ic-t hei killed and wounded and. the der vishes suffered, h.-avily in killed and wc-uniled while many of them were ma-ie prisoners.

Laws Are Useless in Germany, as Elsewhere, to Stop the EvaL Washington, April 8, After eleven years of most careful consideration and patient investigation, the German gov ernment has been able to accomplish nothing towards the amelioration of the condition of the miserable victims of the sweating; system in the great German cities. Max Jitilii, Ifnited States consul gen eral at Vienna, in a report to the state department upon the late cloak and clothing strike in that city makes this statement and furnishes a, great deal of information respecting the extent and methods of the sweating system in Germany. Rerlin is the greatest cen ter for the manufacture of cloaks, no less than ;;5.0.h) persons being: employ ed in their production and they are miserably paid. A fair ojwrator earns $1.44 per week subject to loss of time through being laid off during the dull season. That is for expert hands, beginners get no pay and these people receive no sick benefits, being too poor to contribute to the society funds. The government has vainly s-aught to do something to carry out the directions of the reiehstag to better the condition of th?e poor women and it is no wonder, the consul says, that many drift into a life of shame.

Disaster Likely to Attend the Advance on Dongola When the Spiritless Egyptian Fellaheen Uet Into Battlo. XV-w York, April S. A dispatch to the Herald from Cairo, says: "It cannot be denied that there ex ists in Cairo a strong apprehension that disaster will soon overtake the head of the Dongola expedition. Merchants here who have business relations with the Soudanese, report that they have information of a groat rising and ral lying of the dervishes in anel around Dongola. They contirm the report that the green flag- is up and the Holy war declared. Their opinion is that 50,000 me n will soon be ready to Intercerit the march of the Anglo-Egyptian army, if the plan of pushing beyond Akasheh, is persisted in. Gen. Kitchener is known to be yearn ing for fresh military glory. Aggres sive and self willed, it .is feared he will fall into tiie error recently committed by Gen. Barotieri, in Abyssinia. He is carefully fortifying his head advances and in the event of an ordinary reverse he may be able to hold out until Eng lish succor arrives. An American gentleman just down from Wady Haifa says he met several thousand Egypiian re;cruiis ami rail way laborers going forward, hundreds of whom were crying and Slabbing like bereaved children. Xo dependence can be placed on these men. The prelimi nary skirmishing so far has given some confidence to the Egyptian troops. The policy c." die S-it-e-..e:ie -as bu draw tlie invading army as far Ty, to from its base this summer as possihb", so that when the main assault is made it will mean a slaughter. Many well Informed persons here ex press the belief that the fall of Picks Pasha awaits the sirdar's column. The dervishes are better armed and bettor prepared to fieht. than when they check Kni'li of ile d Lord Wols-ley's advance. The -h, as a rule, pooh-pooh the id. -a feat, but they are a!! extremely anxious. It is fear, i-i Matabek-land n .d that the troubl. s lay embarrass the En a Fllpl wllie ish .government and we:-ak.-n the irt of the I).n cola expedition, h must soon ho feu'thc-oraing.

Copyright 1SG by Associated Press Cairo, April S. Each adeiitiona-1 bud get of ncvs from the front increases the anxiety here in imofiicial circles as to the fate of tlie vanguard of the An-gio-Egy pt ban army. The news of tlie movement south ward of the troops has spread with that wonderful rapidity which has frequent ly bee-n noticed as one of the features of campaigning in the Soudan. While tlie Rritisli intelligence department ex periences ".he greatest difficulty Ml ob taining information regarding the movements of tin- dervishes, the latter apparently having sides in all quarters succeed in transmitting important news with lightning like rapidity. Thus in some mysterious manner, the news of the Anglo-Egyptian advance1 has been communicated to the most distant quarters of the Mohammedan world and the departure of palgrlms f.ir Me-cca litis been suspend!-1. wiu.-li means that the Khalita is calling upon his warriors to muster to the standard, and that the holy war which he recently proclaimed against Egypt is to be push'-el with ail desper ate energy for dervish loaders. The Khalifa has decreed that the trib-s immediately collect and forward to omdurman a heavy war tax. that the picket warriors be hurried tei that camp atid that all pr-parations be made for a lo".g campaign. He ex pects to muster an army of 50. 0-0 men. composed of the best fighting men of the Seaman by Semtember, when the Anclo-Egyptian advance will be met by the Khalifa in person. The latter has recalled the dervish armies from Ftishoila and Parfur. It is h-lb-ved that the siege of Kassala will shortly lie raised if it has not already been r;iisai in order that the dervishes now before that place- may be utilized at Khartoum and Dongala. The Khalifa writing to the Sheik of Assouan under date of December last said that lie was always re.ady to sub mit to th.- authority of the kheelive of Etrypt as the representative of the sul tan, out that he would "resist to the death" any expedition coming freim Ea vpt so long as the Riitish occupiy the country." The Khalifa concluded: "I am aware that the British desire to have me as sassinated, but I "have taken precau tions that rone of the Kurorean pris oners shall survive my murder."

On Jellico creek, in Whitley county, this state, there is an interesting' community known to the people in that region as "The Angel Settlement." It derives its title from the names of the families which contstitute its popu lation. The Angels, while thoroughly ideniitietl with their neighbors, have habits and characteristics peculiar to themselves. They are saiel to have des cended from a man of great farce and power, inteile-ctually anel physically, who s-ttl-..! the-re many yens ago. Since then they have multiplied and replenished, and today there are many families of Angels in the valleys along Jebico creek. They are in possession of about L.Oeit acres of land. Tlie Angels are clannish and are a power in politics. Tiie-ir physical piecu liarities ar- red hair, blue eyes and powerful frames. Th-y marry young and have large families. Cue of the leading sub-settlements is clustered about "Old Rail's" place. He lias six or seven sons a.nd son i-in-law, all mnrrieel an-.l with large families, anal ail of them are srui.led by his counsels. Curiously enough, one of the leading spirits in the Ang-1 settlement for many years was called "Arch" Angel. TRUTH ABOUT THE WEST. ""3oston Herald Sends a Veteran Cor respondent to Find It.

A Helpless Woman Beaten Over the Head With a Lamp in a 'lost Atro cious Mumier, AM) XEAIILY KILLED, By a Worthless Ex-Convict aul Scoutulrel Named Sneed, With Whom She was Livhirf. BLOOD ETEHTWllEltE In the IJooin Where the Ten i hle Encounter Occurred. Sneed is in Jail, and it Wiil Ho Hard Willi liim. Henry Sneed made a desperate at tempt to kill May Edwards, with whom he has been living, this morning at (1 o'clock at her home at the corner of Crane and Jefferson streets with a hand lamp. Both are white. About 3 o'clock this morning Sneed went to the house and was admitted. He was drunk and abusive. At this time she succeeded in getting him out of the house, but between r. and 6 o'clock he returneel and she let him in again as he appeared to be so ber. He had hardly entered the house when he struck her four or live times with his fist, knocking her down. She screamed for help and her young daughter, just 14 years of age. a re markably pretty, innocent looking blue eyed, golden haired, child ran to her mother's aid. The girl grasped Speed's sleeve and succeeded in holding back several of his blows. "Run for help." cried the moth-i. and the little girl in ls.-r night gov. a and bare feet ran across the street where Frank Heneiriei.s was sle -pie;; and awakened him and then to the T -peka mills on Adams street and got tn i night watchman. While they were gone Mrs. Eebva. 's ran into one of the bar rooms and Sneed followed her, swearing at u. top of his voice, tin..- woman sereann-.g with terror. As he ran lie caught from a ti. 1 a table or hand lam;, w itli heavy glass bowl and an iron 1 a.se. He struck be-r with this and knock ed her upon the hod. "For Cod's sake Henry, don't K'-l me." cried the woman trying to lube her face in the pillows. "l'h. lix you you.-' yell. -a Sneed, as lie struck h-r again and again about the head am.1 face with tli- heavy- lamp. It was while this bloody business was going on that tie- little siti le turned and gmsped SiM-.-d's am. The lamp was no long, r usebjb It lay on tlie floor batter and brek-i into a thousand pieee-s over tin- wom an's he-aeh Tiie woman lay on tlie bed in a. f!-..v-ir,g stream of her blood, almost ins ---sible. Sneed grabbed a heavy wash hoed ami tried' to hurl it at th" woman. Put the girl caught it ami it fell to th lioor." There would have undoubtedly have been murder done the-re if llcndrhks. and tlie mill watchman had not ar rived just then. Sneed left the house saying to the child as he went: "This isn't the last of this. I'm com ing back some day and then I'll kid that mother of yours. The murderous villain after will 1 went to the police station and gave himself up. "I will plead guilty to assault, ho said. He was not allowed to do that and at the direction of the woman Chief Gard ner this morning swore out a warrant charging him witii assault with intent to kiil. City physician Mitchell was called anel dressed the woman's wounds. Tie top of her head, tlie upper left sab- of her face was chopped and beaten in a frightful manner. This morning after her wounds were dressed tlie woman lay on a bed in a clean night dress rt-oaning. tier nead al most obscured 1 y band ges. "X want him 'prosecuted to tiie extuiit of the law," she paid. The room where the- assault occur red looked as though a battle had be.-n fought in it. Tlie bedding and pulows were .j.. ed with blood, the walls wore sp. bar ed with if. and a laree j,..l of it was on the floor by the see- of t he h d. The batta-red iron ha--.- of the lam;) also lay on the door and p s of blue glass that were one-e th" bowl of tiie lamp were scattered over tiie fior.

Tlie Kd wards woman is perhaps years of age. At one- time in her ii.'e she must have been a very handsome woman. For some time past she has been living- at the little brick house at the north east corner of Crane a. id Jefferson streets and Sneed has been staying there with her at least a part of the time. Sneed is a large man and if the wo man had not been robust the injuri'-s she received would undoubtedly iiav proved fatal.

POSTAL BILL IS PASSED. After a Weeks Debate the Senate Acts on the Measure. Washington, April 8. The post office appropriation bill, which has engrossed the attention of the Sen a to for almost a week, was passed yester day. The entire day was devoted to debate and voting- upon the amend ments proposed to the bill, the Wol cott amendment for the consolidation of smaller offices with larger ones re ceiving the greater share of attention. Tha discussion on this proposition again took the form of a debate upon the merits of civil service reform, and was participated in by Messrs. Viias, Woicott, Alien and Hill, Hoar, Gor man, Stewart and others. There were some rather spirited dialogues be tween Messrs. Viias and Allen and be tween Messrs. Wo'.cott and Hill. Mr. Woicott criticised Secretary Smith for his participation in the Georgia cam paign, and was replied to by Mr. Hill. The amendment was defeated by a de cisive vote, receiving- only seven votes in its support. Mr. Butler (Populist) of North Car olina introduced a joint resolution providing for an amenainent of the constitution to limit the veto power of the President so as to make it com petent for the two houses to pass bills over a veto by a majority vote. Speaking- of the resolution he said that the idea of requiring- a t wo-thirds vote was clue to the fact that when the constitution was adopted the Amcricin people were not far removed from tngiisn ideas. In his opinion the power vested in the President was too -'reat and should be limited. talk a Dav om YV-iht and Measures. Washington. April 6.

The lit tle town-hip of Curtin, about twelve miles from here, is in a turmoil of ex citement over the burning- and blowing- up by dynamite of the district school house. Bad feeling was aroused about two years ago over the selection of a site for the scoool house, and the courts had to decide the matter. One faction was still dissatisfied and before dawn yesterday morning about twenty men and boys set the building- on fire. The other faction was soon on the scene and tried to quench the flames. The in cendiaries were, however, hiding- in the woods, and w iii'.e some of their enemies were in the burning- buiidinir they threw dynamite on the roof. The building was completely de molished and thwe inside narrowly eseaped with their lives. The two factions then eng-agred in a pitched battle in the darkness and some of the participants were badly cat by the woodsmen's axes. Two Women "Whippa by a Mob. T.-i.x:vro.N, Ky. April S.

The money that our government spends for bat tleships, $j,000,000 or more, would build reservoirs for storing: water to irri gate thousands of acres of land in the arid western country," said ilr. W. O. Yates of Colorado. "I contend that the money used in this way would be of more benefit to humanity the.n the construction of 100 battleships. It would enable poor people to take up homes in sections where now, for lack of water, existence is not practicable. The soil is fertile enough, and with sufficient moisture, will produce equal to any lands in the "United States. "I am inclined to think that the mil lions put into a war ship are wasted. The best ones that can be built today are apt to be obselete in the next lu years.

Ex-Police Commissioner Frank Fos ter is having; trouble to have his bills for "spotters" aliowed. The new board has deferred action on the claims and this means that they will probably be disallowed. When the board met to make up the police pay roll for March they allowed all the other claims but threw out the bill of $177 for "special detective service." Durinsr the closing- days of Commis sioner Foster's term he had four men employed collecting evidence against the joints. They got the evidence but before the police commissioner got an opportunity to use it his official head fell into Governor Morrill's basket. Unless the board thinks better of the matter Scotty Kane and his associates will never be pa.id for the work they did under the regime of Police Com missioner Foster, for he will not pay them out of his own pocket. However, the new commissioners may need the evidence, particularly about the joints, for there are half a dozen hoies running- in open defiance of law at present. Will Police Commis sioner Rodg-ers please take notice? Report of Crop Conditions. Washington, Apr:l 8. The Weather bureau has resumed weekly publication of crop conditions.

The World Declares Me is the Logical Candidate, In a Double-Leaded Editorial of Eulosry. Ksrw York, April S. The World prints a double leaded editorial in which it asks whether the log-ic of the political situation that has led the Republican masses to support McKin ley will not compel the nomination of Cleveland by the Democrats. The paper says: "The World doea not assert that this is so. It raises the question. It invites discussion of it. So far as the World is concerned in this matter, it is entirely impartial, judicial and im personal. It has no special partiality for Mr. Cleveland, personally, as he will probably admit. It has nothing to take back. But the question is not of the past. It is a question of the future. "Upon the issues of the present and future, not of the past, the World is just as free and sincere in suicresting that Mr. Cleveland seems to be the only logical candidate as it has been fearless and faithful in admonition and criticism whenever it has believed him to be wromj. "It is idle and mifrht prove very un wise to ignore the fact that there is a deep-seated and widely prevalent prej udice among- our people ag-ainst any third term for any president. But it is still a question whether any un founded fear and prejudice can weig-h at least against the force of events and the log-ie of circumstances. Colorado Citv Klection. Dkttvkr, Colo., April 8.

POLITICAL MURDERS. Louisiana "Regulators" Shoot Into a Party of Negrroes Two Killed. New Orleans, April 8. Another serious revolt, growing- out of the reg istration troubles, occurred in St. Lan dry parish yesterday, in which two negroes were killed, six or seven others wounded and many others whipped. The supervisor of registra tion of St. Landry, having- established his headquarters in Opeiousas, the ne groes, believing the presence c." troops there would protect them from the regulators of white supremacists, started in larsre bodies for that town. A party of 100 negroes left Grand Prairie for Opeiousas, but were inter cepted about half way by a band of regulators. The negroes were warned back by the regulators and told they would not be allowed to register. They attempted to pass, when they were fired upon and two killed and six or seven wounded. Others were given fifty lashes each and returned home. JAILED FOR PARRICIDE. J. T. LsBibora's Son and Daughter Ac cused of Ilia Murder. Leaves wohih, Ivan., April 8.

Heart troubles, at least among Amer icans, are certainly increasing- and while this may be largely due to the worry and excitement of American business life. It is more often the re suit of weak stomachs, of poor diges tion. Real, organic heart disease is incura ble: but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble, is organic. j The close relation between heart trou- j ble and poor digestion is because both j organs are controlled by branches of the same great nerves, the Sympathet- ic and Pnetimogastric. I In another way, also, the heart is; affected by that form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food; there is a feel- ing of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the dis- tented stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath. j Poor digestion also poisons the blood, 1 makes it thin and watery, which irri- tates and weakens the heart. j The most sensible treatment for heart troubles is to improve the di gestion and to insure the prompt as similation jf food. This can best be done by the regular use, after meals, of some safe, pleasant nnd effective digestion preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain valuable, harmless digestive elements, in a pleasant, convenient f orm. It is safe to say that the regular, per sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets at meal time, will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the nomaeh. Full size packages of the Tablets sold '-y most druggists at 51 cents or by mail from Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. I H IlSTZ'IBi IDENTITY. CompIicationLitely toAriseOyer the Bones of Columhus. Inhabitants of Both. Havana and Eante Domingo Strenuouely Assert That Tbeir Cathedral Only Contains the Xiegimate Ashes Of tbe Great Discoverer. Havana, April 2. The savants of this city are now agitated over a curious question namely, in case of the ulti mate capture of Havana by the insur gent forces, what shall we do with the bones of Columbus? It is currently reported that the Royal academy of Madrid has already taken the initiative and urged that they be taken at once to Spain before there Bhall be any possibility of desecration of the sacred relics. This, though a small mat ter, shows that the more intelligent of the Spaniards regard their tenure in Cuba as exceedingly tenuous. With that I have nothing to do, but in their im plied assertion that Havana possesses tha "only legitimate remains" of the great Colurnhus all the world is interested. I was in the great cathedral only yes terday and viewed with renewed inter est that famous mortuary tablet affixed to the wail cf the chancel and said to conceal behiiid it the ashes of Coluia- 1 s i HAVANA CATHEDRAL, bus. Its grandiloquent inscription, be ginning, "Gh, likeness of the immortal Columbus!" lias been copied a thousand times by wondering tourists. It is, in truth, a holy spot, and many pilgrims have approached it filled with thoughts of him who first penetrated the mystery of the western seas and gave to Spain possession of the western world. It might seem a sacrilege to destroy this illusion, and only a stern regard for tho verities of history would impel one to even entertain the suggestion thtit this was not in reality the depositary of the ashes of the great discoverer. But let us see. There is one thing cer tain, to begin with that Columbus died. Even his enemies admit that. He departed this life in the year 1506, in the city of Valladolid, in old Spain, whence his body was taken to Seville. But about the year 1540, in accordance with the provisions of his last will and testament, lie was exhumed and taken across the ocean to Santo Domingo, and there interred beneath the pavement of the rjresbytery jn the cathedral of that city. This much has been authenticated, and it might seem an easy matter o as sert that Columbus, having been laid away in the place of his own choosing, would be allowed to remain there for ever. But, no. One hundred years ago, in 1795, and 250 years after the second interment, the island of Santo Domingo was cede-d to France, and Spain, very solicitous for the glory attaching to the name and fame of him who had bestow ed so much upon her, wished the re mains to rest beneath the flag he had made so famous and respected. So a Spanish admiral was sent to Santo Do minjzo to effect the transfer of whatever might still remain pertaining to the con queror of America. But during the centuries that had elapsed all memory of the first event bad been lost, and it was only with vague tradition as a guide that Spain's representatives sought for the vault in which the ashes were supposed to lie. Blindly groping, however, they found a vault beneath the pavement of the pres bytery containing fragments of a lead case and some moldering bones. Noth ing else no inscription nor tablet was discovered, but, accepting the scanty evidence as conclusive, the relics were carefully carried on board the flagship with great ceremony and transf erred to Havana. There a niche was opened in the wall of the cathedral at the right of the altar, and within it were deposited the treasured remains, with a mural tablet in front, having a carved bust and inscription. Here, it was thought, Columbus would remain in perpetuity. But there is a cu rious sequel to the story of the exhuma tion, which has led many to believe that somehow somebody made a mistake and "mixed those ashes up." Eighty years after, or in 1877, while workmen were engaged in making some repairs in the cathedral of Santo Domingo, another vault was found adjacent to that one opened by the Spanish admiral in 1795 and less than a foot distant from it. This vault contained a leaden casket in a state of complete preservation, and, moreover, with inscriptions stating that it held the last remains of Columbus, "admiral of the Indies, discoverer of America." Within the casket were found not only bones, but a silver plate inscribed with the name and dignities C-f the occupant and a bnllet which Co lumbus is supposed to have received dur ing cue of his campaigns in Africa. This discovery cf course created a grea sensation in Santo Domingo, in Havana and old Spain. The Royal acadesi v scut out a commission to investigate, w inch of course reported in favor of Cuba, and a local council sat cii the remains, which declared unhesitatingly in support cf the claims of Santo Domingo. All th island was in a ferment, pilgrimages were made to thecathedral as to a shrina of Holy Land, and devotees fought for fragments of the stone slab that bad covered the casket and treasured them as sacred relics. The conviction finally crystallized into certitude in Santo Do- r J Infests the blood of humanity.

The Dominicans will show today the open vault from which the casket was taken, close beside it the other empty one from which tha fragment were re moved in 1795, the casket (now inclosed within a case of satin -wood) and the veritable bones. They gay that the ahes taken to Havana were those of Don Diego, son of the great Columbus, and to the counter claim o the Havanese they contemptuously reply: "Show ua your bones. We have more bones and in a better state of preservation, and what is more, they are all labeled." The only way out of the difficulty seems to be that suggested by an amia ble old lady of Santo Domingo, who said that "perhaps Colonsbus left two skele tons behind, but neither party will ad mit it. The inhabitants of both Havana and Santo Domingo strenuously assert that their cathedral only contains the "only legitimate bosea" of the great Columbus, and in defense of this asser tion they are willing to fight to the death if need be.

The athletic con tests which are intended by the pro jectors as a revival of the ancient Hellenic contests were opened and the preliminary exercises accompanied by an impressive ceremonial. Great en thusiasm was manifested by the peo ple, and the occasion is observed as a national festival, the city being gayly and brilliantly decorated and thou sands of sight seers being abroad. Many visitors are here, attracted by tlie athletic events. The day opened with a religious cer emony, the singing of a Te lteum in the cathedral. This was attended by the royal family and a great throng of spectators and auditors. The unmber of spectators who looked on at tlie con tests is estimated at .SO, oca a .gathering of truly Homeric proportions. The royal family entered the inclos ure at 3 ocloek, excepit the Crown Prince Constantino, tlie Duke of Spar ata, who has been an .active factor in the malting of the arrangements for til" contests, and who accompanied the organization eommi tt'e.

Thousands Upon Thousands of Brants and Geese Come Along. Philadelphia. April S. It is not often in these times that one can see It acres of ducks as close as the hairs on a brush, but this was really seen on Wednesday last from a blind on the east end of Hog Island, while further out were- thousands of brant, and one could la. ar the coarse "honk" of the cutiado goose. So far all the ducks are buttr-baUs. hen-bill divers, broad bills and sholdiake. Very few mallard or r-'d-heaals. Every man along the shore has 40 reasons for this sudden invasi-n of the birds, each one more absurd than the other, and naturalists are just as much astray: in fact, no one knows why, with tiie same conditions prevailing, ducks will be plenty one season and scarce am e.her. )n Tn -siay last two Philadelpliians got 80 ducks and brant iu live hours and lost at least a third more.. In oid times th.e loading- of the guns would have consume. 1 nearly three hours but eondiiiops are easier' now than one lias a gun that lie can charge lying on his back. AMONG THE HORSES.

It is very evident that people have been living in Topeka who ate horse flesh. About two weeks ago four men, two women and two or three children ap peared at the corner of Twelfth and Lime streets and pre-empted a one story two-room house owned by Jona than Thomas. The house has a cellar. Yesterday they moved away in the direction of Kansas City and an inves tigation showed that tlie cellar con tained a dead horse, parts of which had been removed as with a knife. Tiie neighbors insist tha.t the people were eating horse meat though nobody saw them at it. The people came from the west and appealed to be horse traders, or as a neighbor said, '-gypsys." They were poor and occasionally asked food of the neighbors. There were undoubted evidences that meat had been sliced off the dead car cass and there was a great deal more removed than the two or three dogs with the outfit could need. The police deioarcment was notified this afternoon and tiie horse removed. BRIDGE SINKS. One Over the Maum.ee at Toledo Goes Down, and a Train With It. Toledo. O., April 8.

Furnished by the Associated Press to the State Journal Chicago, April S. Wheat turned very bullish today. It started rather weak on favorable rains reported from wheat growing states and decline in European markets. May opened at 6Gr'ic, or c lower than Monday's closing prices. It soon sold off to 66Vic and then on the belief that Armour was a heavy buyer, it rose to 66a, f 67c. This caused some excitement and in a short time it went to 67eoc then to 6Sc. A second cable from Liverpool reported wheat t4Jtjd lower. This gave May a second set back and it declined to 67 Vic The Ar mour talk continued, however, and re mained a bull feature. May corn opened Vs'y1'c over Mon day's closing and held strong with the advance in wheat. Oats easy at 20'ic for May. Pork, lard and ribs all strong on light hog receipts. Chicago Livestock Market.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER. Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Exchange, 5 23 Kansas Avenue. WHEAT The market opened easy, but there was no pressure to sell and good buying came from outsiders and professions, Is, causing an almost run away mark.. Pardridge was a good buyer early in the session with tile balance of shorts a good second. The news of the day wa.s bullish, receipts in the northwest were light, cash demand heavy with crop damage reports coming in from all quarters. Tiie Coin Trade News of London is out with a bullish statisti cal report and states that Europe's source of supplies which to draw from is S0.O00.O00 bushels short of what it was a year ago. The government report on the condi tion of winter wheat will be out next Friday at 3 p. m., and it is conceded by all well informed people that it will be the most bullish report issued at this season of the year in the history of the department. Mr. Pardridge was a heavy buyer on the open board as well as the regular board throughout the session. Bull news will gradually accumulate as the season advances as receipts fall off and the milling demand wiil in crease, which, of course, will cause a rapid decrease in the visd'le supply and on account of practically exhausted supplies at the coast foreigners have been compelled to come west to buy their wheat for shipmont at the open ing of navigation on the lakes, and have already bought large amounts. This will have a favorable influence on the market when navigation opens and these shipments begin. A year ago the advance in wheat started just a week Inter than today arid advanced 33c a bushel. We feel confident, taking into consideration the general situation, that wheat veil! sell higher this sprint? than it did last. Corn and oats were strong through out the session in sympathy with wheat. Provisions were strong throng- LM I 'LJ m t It li 'i V4 e, a SJ Is tb reeti't cf tie canal tmaioicct of msoraers. lne sv&iem is lmea web atrenr?n i Foni.-m rented :es mere to oo urerieeii u:&nro.

Atchison Globe: The Ottawa, Kan., authorities have a novel p-.lan of making people behave themselves. A sick tramp was picked up on the streets ami taken to jail. His disease developed into smallpox, and now Ottawa police haven't a thing to do; the town bad men behave like leading citizens for fear of being sent to jail. Cy Le'and has again assured the re porters that nothing but his withdrawal can prevent the rouominatiori Gov ernor Morrill. It will be noticed that he ha? never said the governor will not Withdraw. Emporia Republican. Cy Leland having picked out Kan pas" governor for her, Kansas should acquiesce. Of course there are many people who want Troutman, but if Le land says Troutman is not best for us cf course he knows. Otto Eckstein in his skit at the Grand last night betrayed the fact as might have been expected, that Wichita is greatly worried about what Topeka thinks about her. Topeka thinks noth ing about Wichita. His references to political and prohibition matters were scarcely understood. Xot one person in fifty knew what he meant when he spoke of "Marsh Murdock's rebellion." Marsh is not near as famous outside of SVichita as he is In Wichita.

So long: as he was passive, wanting- a renomina tion but unwilling to authorize his friends to make a canvass in his behalf, other aspirants found encouragement to oppose him. But now that he has announced that he will contest for an indorsement before the primaries, the party, to be consistent, can do nothing else than renominate him. In lv'.'4 the Republicans went before the people with a platform pledging the party to a business administration of the state's affairs. With that understanding- the people turned down the Popuiist administration and elected Mr. Morrill and the rest of the Republican candidates. That these men have re deemed the party's pledge even Mr. Morrill's opponents and their few fol lowers do not deny. The affairs of the state never before have been so eco nomically or so successfully adminis tered. Business methods have been em ployed and practical rules of economy applied, something unheard of before in Kansas politics. To do this it has been necessary to relegate to private life a lot of political mendicants who, in times past, have regularly had places In the public service regardless of their fitness or of the needs of the state. This unexpected policy was a cruel disap pointment to the old camp followers. They became malcontents and are now e-oimr tm and d jwn the state d -manning the crucifixion of the administration. But the party cannot consistently turn this administration down. The is sue has be-on marie on the o.uestion of economy and good government, and to refuse a renommotion would amount to a rebuke to faithfulness. The people understand this, and since the governor authorized his private sec retary last week to say to the newspa per Correspondents that he had made un his mind to "figrht." it cleared the ntmosohere at once. There sM'd is op position ptrusrsfliir fwb'.y. but it will disappear in time to restore party har ntonv b-fa"0 the nominating convention m- ets. and Governor Morrill and Ids associates will be renominated by ac clamation. Kansas City "Star." The more the Kansas Ci! y Star says about Kansas politics the sillier it sounds. It doesn't know a thing- about what it is talking-, and it never does when on Kansas politics. It always sounds as if some editor had been tric ing; orders "Now write a piece about Kansas" and the tired editor goes wearily to work filling space. The "people of Kansas" don't want Mor rill and they are not going to have him. Tittre isn't a newspaper in the state sum on ing him. The sl--epy "Star" miyht git a 'pointer from that.

Firey went to California during the gold excitement and returned to his borne with $15,000 as the result of his labor. Some say that the Fireys were very close persons to deai with. They never wore good clothes. It is said, however, that just before he became sick Dr. Firey found some Xorth Topeka ten ants of his in want when he called to collect the rent, and gave them money and prescribed for them as a physi cian. It is also stated that John Firey has given over $4,0u0 to one church in the last six years. However that may be Dr. Firey's body was yesterday put in a fine and costly casket to be taken hack to Hag-ersto-.on. His brother John accompa nied the remains. The Fireys in Hag erstown are said to stand at the very head of the first families. TIMIiEit LA CIS. If There Ever v.'as a Man Who Raised Ten Acres This Will Interest Kim. A ruling by Commissioner Lamor eaux has been received at Mr. Hitl's Fniu-d States land othce which will i:t tet est what few Kansas timber claim ants there are. About le".eio timber culture claims were taken in Kansas from l7.- to ISMl. and probably two d ;--n. were successes. The trees would't grow. In rare cases they have hotvevcr. Heretofore it has been obligatory upon claimants of timber lands that proof of possession and pre-emption sheuid be recorded in the local land of fice. Tltis necessitated a great deal of traveling, for persons who lived out of the land office district in which their land was located. If a man in New York had a claim in Kansas he had to come to Kansas every six months and "prove up" until his claim was paid for and became his. The new law and rule obviates all this and gives the New York man with a Kansas claim the right to stay at home and send his sworn statement of proof. The new section reads: "That timber culture cliamants shall not be required in maki"ir final proof to appear at the land office in which proof is to be presented or before iti ":il"'-T designated by the net of May l'.-iO. within the county in whi -h the land is situated: but such 1 1; may have his rc- be r por-onal e taker, by a FcUed S-,at--s court missior.cr or a i-lrk of ar.y eo record un-Pr st; --h rules and 1 1 t :ce gula- i tiorr, 8s the secretary of the interior may proscribe." THE HOOT OF WEALTH. Canaigre the Coming- Plant That Will Make a Great Industry. i Denver. April S. A distinguished party of capitalists from Xew York and elsewhere, headed by ex-Postmaster General Thomas L. James, arrived in the city yesterday in two special cars. Achilles and Conceit. The par ty consists chie:iy of members of the Anglo-American Carta igre company who have ben traveling through the west to determine upon the location of farms for the cultivation of canaigre root, or upon means for the extension of the cultivation of canaigre by far mers and ranch owners. Much importance attaches to the vi'it of the party to Colorado because of the fact that no canaigre is raised in the state, notwithstanding the im portance of the plant in tanning. The company which the party represents is immensely wealthy. THE ABYSSINIAN WAR. Tho Moautainocia Region Wbere Karati ri' .Force. Came to Grief. Tigre, the scone of the campaign which bag proved so disastrous to the Italian farces under the command cf General Baratieri, is the most northerly province of Abyssinia. Tire is bounded on the north by the Italian colony cf Erythrea, and it -was under cover cf an aliened dispute about the boundary lino that the Italian forces over a year ago began their invasion. Asmara, a little, town cf great strategical importance, has been hold by the Italians for eight years, bat the Abyssinians have always claimed that it was in Tigre. To pre vent this place being taken the ItaLans ADOWAH, THE CAPITAL OF TIGRE. pn.hed into Tiyre and established mili tary posts. At first their movements across the province were a succession cf victories, and it looked as if they were about to gobble np all of Abyssinia. When Kin Menelek became thoroughly aroused, however, he got together a big force and drove them back, but not no til they had marched clear across Tigre. The most recent and most disastrous batri of all occurred in the mountains north of Adowah, the capital cf Tigro. All of the province is higher above the sea than ilouut Washington, in New Hampshire, and several cf tiio peaks rise many thousand feet hiehc-r. It was in the rocky pushes and denies of theso mountains that ilouelek trapped tho Italians and kiiled them like rats. Adowah is a town of from 3,000 to 6,000 inhabitants, its population varying at different times of the year, like other African towns. The streets ara crooked and hilly, and the buildings are of stone, will.; clay roofs. There is only cne building of importance in the town, and this is the cathedral, which was bnilt several years ago by an Italian architect. The inhabitants are Chris tians. The weavmg of cotton cloth is about t'ao euiy industry worth speaking cf. It does not look much like a gay capita!, according to Kuropean or Amer ican standards, but in Africa it is con sidered a placa cf considerable impor tance. EOOKS FOFt FARMERS. Traveling Libraries to Fill a tone Felt Want In Wisconsin Humes. "Here comes tho Horary. This will become a familiar announcement in the rural districts of northern Wisconsin if the scheme of State Senator Stout of Menominee is extended tooth6r counties besides his own. Senator Stout's novel project is to establish a system of trav eling libraries in the country districts in order to give people to whom public libraries are practically inaccessible the benefit cf useful books and the best lit erature. The details of the plan havo not yet been announced, but it is prob able thatwusous loaded with books w ill make their regular weekly calls at the farmers' homes, just as the visits of the butcher and notiou peddler aro made now. The practical philanthropy cf this ech?me is at once apparent. Senator Stout is to give it a trial in his county JAMES H. STOUT. st his own expense. This is not the first time he lias displayed his liberality in aiding tho cause c.f education. When ho j removed to Menominee from St. Louis j in 1SS9, one of his first acts was to estab- lish a manual training school. From a i small beaiti.'iing the school has grown j until now it occupies buildings and uses s machinery that cost $-75,000, all of which the senator paid for out of his own pocket. j His great bobby has always ber-n to help people to heip themselves, and the I manual training school accon-p! vh s j this object in a direct and satiafactory j manner. Schatur S'ont sees to it that the very best instructors f.ra employed, and he takes a pcr--' -nal intt res; in th" progress ot the pupiis. He is prw. cf thq Menominee board cf etl'tcatii.u. and for several years has been one of the trustees of the Dunn County Insane asylum. He is a life member cf the I'r. bnqtie Library society and a life trustee c.f the Fiwdluy hospital at Dubuque. He was elected to the Wisconsin state sen ate in Its 04. By his several philanthropic projects he has given mauy a boy the chance to throw off the handicap cf poverty find start from the scratch it: the race for fame and fortune. A Chinese University.

Henry M. Stanley, M. P., is making as much noise as Mr. Labouchere an absurdity of folly and fatuousness. Mr. Stanley has a friend on the Figaro in Paris who "interviews" him constantly, and he makes many speeches in parliament and in other places when he is asked. He makes al most as many speeches as Mr. Bayard, who never missed an opportunity. At first he stuck to manuscript alto gether. But he saw the futility of that when the liberal benches began asking him rpuestions. So he branched out into the impromptu the other day and havoc reigned around him. His first downward g..sture st nick the high hat of Lord Cecil (son of Lord Salisbury) and sent it down over his lordship's ears. The next nearly dislocated the jaw of a member on the other side. The liberal benches roared with de light. Stanley became more determined than ever. He was bound that they should not make him sit down. His colleagues got out of his way and gave him all the room he wanted. He struck out with all his might. Words might fail him. but he kept bis fists moving until he had done with what he had to say. But Stanley is cordially liked and res pected by his unionist colleagues. His advice is sought on all African ques tions. WANTED ANDY FULLER Tor Chief of Police. But Andy Fuller Didn't Want It. When A. K. Rodgers was appointed pole, e commissioner he was the second choice of Governor Morrill. The place cn the board was first tendered to Capt. -V. M. Fuller and fleciined by him after he found that the? conditions prescribed would not be granted by the governor. When the jtosition was tendered to Cantain Fuller he said that he would accept if the governor would consent to a complete reorganittat ion of the po lice force "I cannot take the position with things in their prfftnt condition" said he. "I third; that about half the members of the pctce force should be discharged and their places filled with men who would make good patrolmen." The terms laid down by Captain Fuller were not agreed to and he de clined the appointment. Best and quickest shirt, collar and ruff work in the state.

When I passed Into the Standard theater last week, a tail, slender man, with a restless gray eye, took my ticket at tho door. No one who did not know would have taken him to ho one of the best horsemen who ever strode a horse and tho most match less shot with a navy revolver which the great Missouri valley country has produced. Tho man was Frank James of the famous James brothers, Missouri outlaws, whom 20 years ago and less mothers used to mention when they wished to terrify their children into good behavior and whom ail men feared. But Frank James has settled down now. There is nothing formidable about him, although I cannot look at him without imagining he would be a veritable tiger if once aroused. For the past few years ho has mado St. Louis his home, and nothing has occurred to mar the sereuity cf his life. Formerly he was much in terested in racing and was a well known figure on the blue grass tracks. Before that ho was a clerk in the shoe depart ment cf a general store in Dallas. There is only one state of the Union where Frank James doesn't venture even at this late day that is, Minnesota. They haven't forgotten the .ortbfield raid up there. After this diversion Frank and Jesse James rode out of the town and barely halted their horses until they readied Waco, Tex. I asked James about Jcs.-e's family. Mrs. Zerelua James, his widow, who was formerly a schoolteach er in K;. usa.s City and a very beautiful woman, i.ves on Wocdlawn avenue, m that city, and her son, Jesse James, Jr., is a trusted employee cf the Armour Packing company there. He is about 20 years eld. The James boys' uncle was long cno of the most respected residents cf Kansas City, founder cf an extensive crockery business and a pillar cf Cal vary Baptist church. Others who figured in the ftieat James drama are now wide ly scattered. Ex-Governor Crittenden of Missouri is consul to Mexico for Uncle Sam. Ad. Vaxce. Tle Only Two Left.

The scene at the show today was one of bustling activity. Dogs of all sizes, shapes.kinds and breeds were being- led in and put in their places. Here some dotr of exclusive canine society was making his toilet, while his bench com panion dozed the hours away. Owners and handlers were here and there brushing- the kinks out of the long- hair of the St. Benards, and Great Danes walked heavily along- as they were led from one stall to another. The scene was one of interest. Here some of the most aristocratic canines of the west are gathered. As one enters the room at HI East Sixth street and walks along- on the east side of the building he is greeted by the in telligent loks of the massive St. Ber nards. Women patted the hug-e heads of the Alpine life savers. Col. Ajax, a 2-year old smooth coated St. Bernard, lies on his bench midu ay of the build ing with his head, between his paws. He is the largest dog at the show", and weighs 200 pounds.

"Dude, the rat kill er," hides his ugly bull dog- mug- be hind a muzzle. Then there is a tiny Mexican dog of the Chihuahua breed, and near him the hairless Mexican "doctor dog" is encased in his petite blanket. He cures neuralgia. More dogs were being: brought in all through the day, and by tonight every bench will be occupied. Tonight at S o'clock Judge Cole Vn begin his work, and he will be at it until 10 ty ing ribbons on the winners. He will begin with the St. '-t-rnards and judire the big- dogs first.

"I had $700 when I got into your hack last night." he said, "and this morning I had only $S00." "That's too bad." said Travis. The stranger (Travis swears he was a stranger) continued: "I believe the lady whom I had the honor of accom-panyirig- last night borrowed it without letting- me know about it." "Well?" said Travis. "Well," said the stranger, "you see it's this way: I don't want to be mix ed upi in it. and if you can get it back without letting my name appear, I'll give you SCO." "Get into the hack." said Travis, after he had drawn a long breath. The stranger got in and Travis drove him to his (Travis') house. "Wait here a minute." said Travis, as he disappeared into his house. In a few moments he returned with three $lo0 bills. "I found 'em on the floor of my hack this morning." said Trai is, "and in tended to save them for you." The "good thing" paid Travis the SCO he had promised and took the first train out of town.

Them is one fiarure which will command Worldwide attention in the events of the Itext few months, unless, indeed, Italy Fhouid abandon Iht Abyssinian interests. It is that of General Uaidissera, the bow commander in chief of the Italian forces, wlio lias undertaken the tusk of retrieving the fortunes of his countrymen in Africa. General Baldissera lias had a most ro mantic career. When a little rnmufiin of 7, lie was picked tip in tho street, at Eilino by the bishop of the diocese, who, admiring his childish beauty and Intelli penoo, recom:neudd bin) to t he Empress -Mariunnj of Austria. This w;ts in lbi6, wiien Uriine, with the whole cf the Vene tian provinces, belonged to Austria. Tho einprofis educated tho lad at tiio military academy at Weiner-Neutitmit. Younjr lialdisttera first won military distinction in 185'!), whan lie fouphi with great valor aralnsf. his own countrymen. Through out the Ion;? war in which Italy was fight ing for her Independence Baltiissera faith fuily served his Austrian protectors, refus ing to desert, as most of his brother officers from the same provinces did, be cause of his gratitude to tho royal family of Austria for their generosity during his child hood. Finally when, in lSbf), the Venetian provinces parsed into the hands of Victor Knianuel and Bakiissera"s birthplace be came part of the new kingdom of Italy, tho young olitcer considered himself ah solved from further duty to Austria, which was no longer his fatherland. He became a major in the Italian army, but so lardy had been his resolution to servo his mother country that lie was fiercely criticised and attacked by many among his new cham pions in arms. He vindicated his per sonal courage and his patriotism in the accepted manner of his countrymen and fouKbt mere than 20 duels in loss than two months. He was successful in almost ail these encounters, but ho still carries several scars as souvenirs of them. His African experience begun la 18S", after the mafisacre at Beoii. Ho made a brilliant record in the itan Mnrzaro expe dition, and ac its close was made the gov ernor of the Kriirea colony. He was a most successful administrator. Ho always opposed what was called tho Shoan poiicy. which consisted in helping Meneick aaainst his rivals. Ho never trusted Men eiek, and always said it was a great; mis take to co-operata in the king's plans for making a united and powerful Ethiopia witli a supremo ruler. His policy was to maintain and augment the quarrels ba twecn the diffoennt Has, so that no ono of them would even ho alr-lc to defy tho Ital ians with the whole force of Abyssinia. Tho Shoan policy triumphed, however, and Goneral Raidissera returned to Italy In liSO. Ho hot goes back, having sceu all hl prophecies with regard to King Menalek fulfilled. In appearance and in bearing and meth ods General Baidisscra is an ideal soldier. He is as silent as Grant, and, like Von lloltio, is surnamed the Tsciturn.

Theso vagaries aro mostly confined to fncy capes, how ever, the cloth ones usually retaining tho plain, round form, with one pelerine and a high, turned over collar. The siik lin ing may bo of tho samo or a different color and is usually of satin merveilloux or surah. Tile trimming is of braid, plain or mixed with metal or silk, which is laid on in straight lines or farms a pattern. Moro fanciful capes are made of satin, siik or moiru trimmed ail around with large picked ruches. Theao ruches aro of changesible silk for colored capes, while for black ones they are of alternate bands of black and white siik. Capes should al ways be stiffened a little if the material of Which they aro made is not sf iU in itself.

Tho now capes will bo short, falling lit tle below tho waist, while mantles and pelisses will extend to the foot of tho skirt and bo cut in a similar heli shape. As the width of skirts is visibly decreasing, these long mantles will also diminish in ampli tude. For ordinary service they are made most frequently of thin mixed goods, which wear well and show neither dust nor the effects of dampness. These long, full gar ments are most frequently mounted on a yoke to avoid the clumsiness of gathers around tho neck, but tho yoke is concealed by a capuchin with revers. The band it self may ho full and round or pointed and titit, and it is lined with silk. Tho body of tho mantle is usually unlined. There aro two openings in front for tho arms, which are marked by folds, bows of ribbon or bands of passementerie. Tho back is held in to tho figure at tho waist lino. The proportions of slcoves arc decidedly diminishing. The sleeves of both gown bodices and outside garments show the fullness confined to tho upper part of tha TAILOR COSTI'ME. arm and composed of less material. The rest of the sleeve is quite flat and close. It is often elongated at tho wrist to extend over tho hand in the mediaeval style. The sleeve may be trimmed with rovers or with jabots of lace or p'.aitad mousseline or tulle and with jeweled buttons. Some bodices show the fdeeve entirely close from shoulder to wrist, this severity being softened by a bow or slight drapery et the top, a cascade of lace or a small em pire balloon. Tho pown illustrated is of bcifze cloth. The skirt lias godets at tho back, while tho tablicr is embroidered with a pattern in beige silk. The sides button over on tho tablicr with large ornamental buttons. Tiie close bodice forms a slight point at the back and has a scnaro plaited gnimpe of beige satin framed by large embroidered revers of cloth. An embroidered corselet piece buttons on in front below the guimpe. Cm oral d green velvet ribbons are carried down each side of the guimpe and termi nate at tho front corners in bows. The draped collar is alt.o of emerald velvet. The gigot sleeves have medieval culls. Juuic Chollet. SUMMER WRAPS. Capes to lie TiiTerent This Summer XJght Fiibrics It-ale. It is said that there is to bo a great change in capes for summer use. They will s iil be worn a great deal, but Instead of being uniformly round In shape, as hitherto, they aro to bo cut up in one place, lengthened in another, elongated into two ends in front, opened with revers of silk over plaited mousseline do sole and fringed with loops of ribbon, which will take the place of the fur tails wn during tho winter. They will bo trimmed in a point at tho back and held in to the waist by bows. The portion falling over tho arms will consist of full laco to avoid crushing the light sleeves of the gown be neath. A great deal of light fabric will be employed, plaited mousselino do soie or gauze, gathered, embroidered, beaded and othorwUo elaborated. Enormous ruches around tho neck will 1 o the rule, rising to the ears and extending almost to the shoul ders. Great knots of ribbon choux of mousselino and jeweled ornaments will compose tho trimmings. Very pretty models aro shown made of siik gronadina in black or colors, embroid- XEW CAPE. ered in diffcr-mt tones. The.ro are also capes of plain grenadine over colored siik, usually taffeta or glace moire. Black laco with cream applications forms one of the most effective combinations in these fanci ful capes. Sometimes tho applications are also of lace, sometimes of cream or white nainsook or muslin. Short coats are replacing jackets. They open in front to show a jabot of mousselino or Pace or a vest cf satin or brocade. Tho basque is not of equal length all around, the front being cut short. The ripples are less accentuated than rhey wore during the winter and the basque a little longer. An illustration is iven of a cape of old red cloth lined with blr.ck satin. It is laid id plaits over tiie shoulders and is open in front and adorned with a stole of black velvet. Tiie capuchin, of cloth, lined with red and black plaid siik, forms revers in front. The hat accompanying this cape is of black English straw and is trimmed with plaid ribbon in black, red and yellow. J CMC Chollet. f e 1 T i 1 f-: v y v I

The buckles of other belts are of Russian and Swedish enamels, though floral designs, a garland of forget memois, a miniature surrounded by rhino stones and a wreath of holly leaves aro pretty and ornamental, while for cycling wear there are belts of doeskin, alligator, lizard, suede and calfskin. Small bags to hang from the belt are again worn and are mostly entirely of leal her or kid, without metal mountings. The new gloves aro largely of a pale lemon tono, very delicate.

Six drops of olive oil carefully massaged about the face and throat, left on over night and washed off with tepid water and no soap in the morning, will, it is said, do wonders in the way of holding at bay those first telltale wrinkles that all women dread. Tho treatment should be repeated every third night, unless it is found that this makes the skin too oily, when a little longer interval may be ob served.

WONDERFUL GARDEN, THI3. t Leut Sue Story About It la TYon derrol "Enough. Most people, says the Portland Ore contan, have heard of the hanging gar iens of Babylon, the modern roof gar dens and the gardens or floating isl ands ia which vegetables used to he grown for the citizens of ancient Mex ico, but probably few have heard of a earrlen on board a ship, with farmyard attachment. The splendid ship Mow ban, now in port, and the largest ves sel which ha3 ever been here, had sucb an arrangement on board during her trip to Oregon. On leaving Belfast for Portland she took on board as ballast j 2.000 tons of Trish soil, which, when leveled off, made quite a stretch of I ground, and as the soil of Ireland is proverbially fertile the ship's company proceeded to pot it to good use by planting a stock of garden truck in it cabbages, leeks, turnips, radishes, lettuce, peas, beans, etc. The seeds came up all right and the plants flour ished finely, ar.d when the ship was 5n toe tropics, grew with great rapidity. As they progressed toward the Horn and the weather grew colder things came to perfection rapidly. The crew amused themselves by weeding and cul tivating the plants and the captain and officers took regular walks in the gar den daily and all had greeti vegetables to their heart's content. As they came around the Horn the garden was replanted and by th time they reached the ecjuntor everything was abloom and all bands fensted on &eah vegeta tics daily. The only draw backs to the' garden Were the weeds, which grew so rapidly that thev could hardly ne kept down, and the drove cf pigs, which were kept in the farm yard attachment, and which on sever al occasions when the ship was buck ing into a nor'easter and rolling heav iry broke out of the bounds and made serious inroads in the garden. It ia a serious matter to call on hand3 on board ship, and is only done in emer gency, but when the pigs got into the garden there -was more pounding on the forecastle scuttles and handsnikes and blowing of boatswain's whistles than if the ship had been laid aback by a typhoon or all the masts had been carried away, and every sleeper was aroused to help get the pigs out of the garden. The last pig was killed and served up with green vegetables just before the Kowhan entered the Columbia. On the arrival of the Mowhan here the Irish soli was discharged on the elevator company's dock and piled no neatly, so that any exiled patriot who desires a bit of the "ould sod" can be accom modated. The pile will doubtless be covered with shamrocks in the spring and will furnish boutonnieres for a whole St. Patrick's d..y procession. Doubtless many a sack of it will be carried off to fill flower pots, etc. Al though it comes from the "black north" it is still the real "ould sod." THE VISITING BARBER. II Malfea Knonfrfi Money to Seep a Carriage. A character on the upper west side is a six-foot barber who hasn't any shop of his own, but io makes enough at his trade to keep a turnout. He used to keep a ehop down-town, but this ven ture was not what he desired it to be, so he gave it up to the sheriff. Then he hit upon the idea of becoming a visiting barber. A visiting barber is different from the ordinary, every-day barber in that he calls at the homes of fairly well-to-do business men at fixed hours of the day and for an extra com pensation shows his ability as a ton sorial artisL The class of customers that this visiting barber has is the envy of all the shop barbers for miles around his territory. How he does it is best explained in his own language, as fol lows: "I figure among nay customers," he said, "two bankers who have offices on New street, a lawyer who won a $100,- 000 case the day before yesterday, the agent of a steamship line that runs to the West Indies, the manager of several metropolitan theaters and half a dozen physicians. My greatest difficulty has been to get my customers to set aside hotirs for my visit that would suit them as well as myself. This often interferes w-ith. my assuming other business. I have but two hands, as you must ob serve, and although I have never sug gested sending an assistant to my cus tomers, I am sure they would not like a substitute. The business of a visiting barber resembles that of a fortune teller in that it mngt be personal. "My charges per week for each cus tomer range from S2 up. I begin work each morning on the steamship man. He is an early riser and breakfasts at 8 o'clock, after I have visited his house and attended to his wants. The bank ers I visit between 8 and 9, and then, unless on special occasions, I call on the lawyer. All my physicians have office hours up to 11 o'clock, and I prepare them before they go visiting. I have five young men of leisure who generally lie in bed until I come. "In ail I shave and otherwise attend to twenty-five customers each day, three of them before dinner in the evening. 1 do not know if there are any other visiting barbers in the city, nor do I care. AH that I know is that I make money enough out of it to keep a horse and rig to take my wife driving on Sun day. While I was a s!rve of the shop I never did that, for the reason that I seldom had a full Sunday to myself, and also because I hadn't any rig. The man who patronizes the visiting barber is sensible. It may be a little more ex pensive, but it is cleaner, more conveni ent and satisfactory all around." New York Mail and Express. Ml.s Pallman'a Employimnt- If lepcrt be true Jilts Florence Pull man is one of the most richly-paid in the country for her labors. She ia the daughter of George M. Pullman, and ia said to draw a salary of $10,000 a year from the Pullman company for naming cars. Miss Pullman evidences a prefer ment for euphonious names. The se lections do credit to ber education and taste. Many of the names of the cars are of Spanish origin. They are the names of countries, rivers, historic towns, baitlelielda anti flowefa. iS-uch names as Brazil, Peru, Chili, Mexico, Guatemala, and other Central American state, are frequently seen. There is a fine discrimination displayed in the naming cf cars for special service. For example, dining cars are in most in stances named after celebrated cooks, as Savarin, and the cooks of famous men and women. Smoking cars are given names which suggtsc of luxury, as Sultan, Khedive and Mussulman. Observation cars are called Yellow stone, Yoaomite, Appalachian, Watkina Glen and Niagara.

SNAKE WORSHIP IN CUBA. Vegroc Venerate the Mja, m Mage Reptile A boat Suer Mills. The negroes of Cuba are a peculiar people, says the New York Journal. Kept in slavery until a few years ago, and living isolated lives, the majority sf them on the great sugar plantations have retained much of the barbarity of their African ancestors. They are Ignorant, uncouth, superstitious to an amazing degree. Although most of them are nominally Christian that is, eo far as any one has bothered with missionary effort they are many of them still practically African devil worshipers. The snake is the great object of their veneration. In the island snakes are numerous. The principal snake is the maja. a vari ety of the boa-constrictor. It is several feet long and as large around as an arm. Ia color it is a silvery erray, and it has a well-shaped head. Its bite is not poisonous, and unrrolsted it will not attack any one. The maja is a frequenter of the sugar rafHs ami there it feeds on the rata that eften infest those places. It often, too. makes ex cursions on the planter's poultry yard, and in Cuba it is never safe, without substantial evidence, to decide whether the absence of any of the plump bens from the flock can be laid at the door of the maja or one of the plantation negroes. Feeding on the sugar, as the darkies believe the snake does, and on chickens and birds, the flesh of the maja has. by some of tho neorneg. come to be considered well worth eating. It is a practice frowned upon by the planters. Therefore, these srDeTt feasts form part of the worship of the powers of darkness carried on surreptitiously. The cjast negroes rwrticinate little In this practice, but in the interior of the country It from time to time breaks out with the certaintv of an epidemic. Utt1"1 is known rf this to the outside world, as the negroes, fenrinsr the dis pleasure of their masters ort overseers, keep their doings as ntjfot as possible. THE ORGAN BIRD. Tne Mm) ReranrttaMe Songster of e Amazonian Forest. Thj banks of the streams in tle vi cinity of St, Paul's, in the Upper Ama zons, in South America, are dotted with palm-thatched dwellings of the Indi ans, all half buried in the leafy wilder ness, the scattered families having chosen the coolest and shadiest nooks for their abodes. The traveler frequent ly hears in the neighborhood of these huts the organ bird, the most remarka ble songster by far of the Amazonian forests. When its singular notes strike the ear for the first time, tne impres sion cannot be resisted that they are produced by a human voice. Some musical boy must be gathering fruit in the thickets, and i3 singing a few notes to cheer himself. The tone;; be come morn and more fluty and plaintive. Sorretimes they resemble the notes of a flageolet, and the traveler is almost persuaded, in spite of the absurdity of the thing, that some person is playing that instrument in the primeval forests. However closely he may scan the neigh boring thicket, no bird appears, al though the voice seems to be that of some one near at hand. The bird is rarely if ever heard in the Lower Amazons. It is the only song bird that makes an impression on the natives, who sometimes rest their pad dles while voyaging in their small canoes along by the shady upstreams as if struck by the mysterious sounds a high compliment, indeed, for the usual ly impassive natives to pay to the feathered songster. Cheap but So Rarg-ain When tne average "cabby" comes to the conclusion that bis horss is too old and infirm to draw his vehicle, it may be assumed that the animal's market value is very small. In the east end there are several establishments where such horses and mules to match are sold to the highest bidder. The prices brought are ridiculously small and dwindle to almost nothing after the auctioneer has deducted his percentage for making the sale: but, then, the "cabby" is rid of his horse, which is something during the winter, especially if the animal is not able to earn its oats. Last week a well-known hackdriver de cided to sell a horse that he had driven tight years and which was reputed to be nearly 25 years old. He sent the beast to an eaet end auctioneer with in structions to sell him for what he would bring. The horse sold for 50 cents. The auctioneer reserved half of th4 sum as his commission. The hackman and the boy had a drink of 10-cent whisky and the net saving from the sale was exactly 5 cents. Louisville Courier-Journal. A 6ood Recipe for Boarhound Candy.

Bleeming- plants in hanging; basket,? are eoraetimes difficult to secure. They cannot be made to trail t'-.eir delicat growth down, about the basket in a short time after staxting-. Besides, decorations of this sort often prove short-lived when taken to the home from the greenhouse. Try a pineapple air plant for the hansrinir decoration this year. This is one of the most unique hanging plants, as well as Ub most ornamental. Unlike other pT&nu' TuK riNT-Ar-PLK Alft PLAKT. it requires neither soil nor fertiliser; its roots serving only to fasten itself; to the bra-r.ches of tre.es (in its native, growth), while it derives its nourish ment from the air. The plants nifty be seeuxecl to a forked stick, piece of bark, avire frame, bunch of mms, or anything of the sort, and suspended in a window, or for special occasions f roni any part of the room, and they make one of the ciofit attractive objects im aginable in tho way of floral decora tion and have the advant&ce of keeping indefinitely. Tho foliage droops grace fully, each leaf being curved and pointed, and of a beautiful grayish green. It is easily grown and will thrive in any window, requiring simply a good sprinkling of water once or twice a week and tho plant is odd and attractive even when it docs rrot send out its large forked panaole of bloom.

The sait will prevent the bamboo from, turning yellow. To remove stains from marble mix equal quantities of lemon juice, and vitriol. Wet the stains with the mixture and aftr a few minutes rub them with, a soft, dry cloth. Some ink stains may be removed by smearing hot tallow on them. The tal low should be left on a day or two, and the linen should be put ia the wash with it still on. To renovate leather chairs wipe the cushions with a slightly damp cloth and then rub dry. Next apply the wl.ito of an egg' beaten to a a tiff froth and rub" with a soft cloth. To clean, varnished paint take a small quantity of tea leaves, pour hot water over them, let them stef-p for half an hour, then drain through a sieve and uso the liquor for cleaning the paint. Tiie best cure for earache or faceache is a potato poultice-. Boil tenxr or fiv potatoes ia their skins. When coohe-d as for eating drain them from the w&ter and stand on a stove to dry. Put the. hot potatoes into a flannel bag and sew the end up. Crush the potatoes in your hand and apply to the affected part. It will relieve the pain almost instaxtiy. How to Rave a Soft Skin- i A velvety softness and wiiiteness may "be given to the skin by using pure cas tile soap and oatmeal during the proc ess of bathing. In order to accomplish thia very desirable result, small bags, composed of thia cheese cloth, about five inches square, should be made by machine, and each one filled loosely with the following mixture: Fiv? pounds of oatmeal ground fine, half a pound of pure castiie soap reduced to powder and a pound of finely-powdered Italian orris root. These, ingredients should be thoroughly mixed together. The oatmeal baps should be uned as a sponge, being dipped in warm va'cr, when they will make a thick, rich lather.

DRY GOODS Is not giving1 goods away nor are vre selling be low cost. Neither does any other house in town do that. Is it not so? But we can afford to sell cheaper than any other house. First, we went to the market when the market was very low, and bought goods for spot cash; and again, we are under very little expense compared with other houses. Our goods are all new, fresh from the mar ket, and as our expenses are light we are giving the purchasers the benefit of it. It has been asked by a great many how it was possible for us to sell goods so cheap. The above explains why. Our motto has been never to buy old goods. The styles change every season, and we wish to travel along that path. Remember the place, Sf

Pier p(.,nt Mi'i'Kiin, have oITei'ed to lease tlie Manhattan Elevated railroad for a term of 100 years at 7 per cent per an rum on the capital stock of $3U,X0, C"0. Mr. Georjre J. Gould said that such an offer had been made, but not by Mr. Morgan. As a matter of fact the ttory of the proposed lease is three months old. Tiie offer emanated from the Metropolitan Traction company, and was made by ex-Secretary Whit ney of that corporation. Mr. Russell taire said: Negotiations have been going on since January 1. but no definite understanding- hits yet been reached. There is little likelihood of the elevated sys tem beinp leased, as Miss Helen Gould and her sister are opposed to parting with the control of the three princi pal Gould properties out of the respect for their father's wishes." Just bef .ie Jay Gould died the Van dvrbiHs orYeied to buy his stock in the Manhattan KSevated railway at 160, which was considerably aoove the mar ket price for the shares.

Thomas H. Bain lias returned from Houston where he has bi en helping to defend Dr. A. M. Eidson. treasurer of the American Coupon Investment company, of which Bain is president. Eidson was arrested at Houston at the same time Bain was arrested in To peka for running a lottery. 1 he trial was the preliminary hear ing before the United States commis sioner at Houston. The commissioner refused to bind Kelson over, saying that there was no evidence that' the company was doing a lottery business, and that its operations were sanc tioned by the postoftiee department.

"Good day, madam," I said in greet ing. "Is this tiie Widow Bunlcy's place?" Yes, it. is," she snapped in a way that was scarcely warranted by my pleasing politeness. "I'm sorry to have disturbod you, but I came to inquire it Sam West is here. They told mu at the mill below that I Would find him at the Widow Bunley's." "Waal, I'm the Widder Hunley," she eaid most aggressively. 'T am very glad to ment you, madam," I bowed, "but it is Mr. West I'm after." "Whut do you want uv him?" in a tono which would indicate that Samuel had been guilty of some offense and the widow was shielding him from justice. "I want to see him about somo logs ha brought down the river this morning." Sam had been gone a mouth on my busi ness, and when tie came back he had not reported to me. "Well," she said, "he brung the logs." "I know it, but I must sec him." "Can't you sec mo Ier him?" 'Hardly, uniess lie has told you what he should have told mo." She smiled faintly, and her eyes twin kled. 'He hain't had time to tell me not bin, she chuckled, but why I was at a loss to discover. "Then I must see him, if he is here," I said, stepping forward. She met me before I reached the porch. "Louky here, mister," she said very earnestly, "you hain't got nothin agin mo, have you?" "Certainly not." I replied in surprise. "Xor agin Sam "Of course not." "That bcin the case, you give lis a chance.

GEORGE GOULD INJURED. Tries to Leap His Horse Over a "Stiff" Pence and Keceives a Fall. New Y'ork, April 8. George J. Gould is not improving- as fast as was expect ed from the fall received Saturday at his morning run with the Ocean Hunt club on his vicious horse Turk. The run was to be from Greenville through Allenwod to llerbertsville. on to the Manasquan river, and to Point Pleasant, finishing at Allaire, after rid ing over one of the stillest bits of country in Xew Jersey. Mr. Gould and Dr. Lindley were first after the hounds, the whole field being close behind in a bunch. As the two sportsmen, riding neck and neck, were half way to Allaire a fence loomed up before them. Dr. Lindley took it first. His horse, Shamrock, stumbled on tho rail, and, turning a complete somer sault, came down in a heap on his back and lay there. Mr. Gould, who was four lengths be hind, steadied Turk and tried what is known as the double jump, but even as Turk gallantly rose at the obstacle the horse's feet slipped. Mr. Gould fell out of the saddle head foremost over the horse's head. He saw the body of the horse falling on him and struggled blindly out of reach as Turk struck the ground half a foot clear of him. Dr. Lindley, although injured, strug gled to his feet and ran to Mr. Gould, who lay where he had fallen, stunned and motionless. Then one by one the rest of the strag glers came up. At a glance one of tiie riders saw that Dr. Lindley 's shoulder was out of joint. Under Dr. Lindley's direction the huntsman seized the shoulder and wrenched it into place. Meantime the party had circled around Mr. Gould, who was slowly struggling back to consciousness. After a few minutes he sat up and looked about him. They helped him to his feet. He groaned as he tried to stand upon his legs. The party turned back to Point Pleasant, some supporting Dr. Lindley while Mr. Gould. limping with pain, was insisting he could walk without assist ance. A telegram message to Herbertsville brought a carriage, and Dr. Lindley and Mr. Gould were taken to Lakewood. LIGHT SUNDAY PAPERS. Evangelical Ministers of Ottawa "Want Then to Suspend.

Trial of Unusual Interest in the United States Court. The case of Miss Maude Crowthers of Fort Riley will Vie the first one call ed before the United States district court Tuesday morning. She is charged with embezzling $1, 200 from the I'nited States. Miss Crowthers is a Junction City young woman of not more than 21. She was a favorite at Junction City and particularly at Fort Riley. There had never been the slightest breath or. sus picion against her character. She had been assistant postmaster at Fort Riley and when the postmaster resigned about a year and a half ago by common consent and universal rec ommendation she ascended to the post. For more than a year she was tiie postmisstress there till suddenly last summer she resigned and left town. In checking up the affairs of the office after she had gone it was found that there was a shortage of $1,200. Miss Crowthers was traced to Kan sas City and arrested there. She has since been out on bond. She announced that she will fight the case. Nobody seems to know where the money went to. Miss Crowthers was not a girl of expensive taste or habits and has bought no pro perty and her most intimate friends are at a loss to account for the strange shortage. NEUS AND MEWS. Edith. Sessions Tupper on the Fads and Fancies of New York. rCew York, April 8. Thievery is In vogue among fashionables. This statement may be somewhat startling, but a word of explanation will satisfy. Among the haut ton it is merely a fad, j a caprice. The thieves display their booty with as much pride as a collector of bric-a-brac, laces, fans or teapots may feel. I was calling cu a smart girl the other day and noticed in one corner of her boudoir a glass case lined with pale bluo plush, on which ia glittering array lay row after row of silver spoons. "You have the souvenir spoon craze," I remarked. "Yes," she said; "those aro j Kpouns a nave swiijeu iruru me various cafes and restaurants where I have dined and lunched. Isn't it a dear col lection?" Naturally I nearly fainted, not only et the thieving itself, but at ".swiped" coming from those rosy patrician lips. But since "Cliinimie Fadden" arrived we all model our conversation after tho syntax, etymology and parts of speech of tho east side. It is no uncommon thing nowadays to hear "wot fell" from the mouth of very swagger dames. And whilo on this topic let mo speak of a very clever reproof given hy a woman at a supper of new wr.-.ieu when ciga rettes were passed. "ISo, thank you," she said, "I cau't smoke, but I can swear. The crest is now brandished on the back of gloves. For some time fashion able men and women have tacked it on everywhere there was room for it sta tionery, carriages, whips, underwear, table and toilet silver, napery, sofa cushions, bed linen, garter buckles. Now ultra swells have it embroidered on their gloves. In view of no other field being suggested for the display of the coat of arms, I would ask what ia the matter with the liver pad? "Did yoti have soullle potatoes?" I heard one man ask another when ho mentioned the fact that ho had been din ing at a certain famous French restau rant. "What in blazes are Eouffle pota toes?" asked tlie 0110 who had dined well and was proud of it. Tho other looked at him pityingly. "IVly dear fellow, where have you been not to have iicard of soufllo potatoes? It is positively the latest aud smartest way to serve tho vegetable." And here is the fashion of it The potatoes have been artificially distended in some occult manner so that they resemble tiny pillowslips blown out by the wind on a clothesline. They are served in a nest made of potatoes, cot iu round strips like macaroni and deliciously browned. A daintier way of serving potatoes cannot be imagined, ap.d the secret as yet belongs to the chef ci this particular restaurant. Y'ou may as well be out of the world, madam or miss, if you do not wear a white ribbon choker this spring. The white choker gives tho last smart touch to a smart costume and freshens up n shabby gown. I was told by a fashion able dressmaker the other day that the; style originated at President Carnot'a funeral, when several grandes dames wore a band of white satin ribbon about their elegant throats as a badge of mourning for the murdered president. We are so accustomed to think of our "best circles" as being the embodiment and epitome cf courtesy and good breed ing that an example of the above remiss ness comes with a sheck akin to the crack of doom.
