V I J h TOPEKA, KANSAS, JUNE 18, 1897. FRIDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. TWO CENTS. FRIDAY E1STLNG. NOW F0RCUBA. Spain is to Be Brought to Terms at Once. Minister Woodford's Instruc tions Are to the Toint. TALKS WITH 3PKIXLEY Bis Communication Amounts to an Ultimatum. Spain Must Either Free Cuba or We Will. Chicago, June IS. A special to the Times-Herald from Washington, D. C. savs: Spain is to be brought to terms. Gen eral Stewart L. Woodford, the new minister to Spain, after dining with President McKinley, spent the evening at the White House. He received in structions as to his work in the Span ish capital, for which he will start in a week or two. General Woodford's task is divided into three parts. His first mission will be to present a de mand for reparation and indemnity for the death of Dr. Ruiz. His second task is to prepare the Spanish government for the inevitable, and the inevitable is the loss of Cuba a? a c il'irv. The third phase of his work is the prL'tniiat.uii iji a distinct proposal from the United States as to the disposition of Cuba. It is as to the first and second chap ters that General Woodford is now con ferring with the president. He will re ceive full instructions as to the third, either before he sails or as soon as he shall have had opportunity to report upon the state of mind in which he rinds the Spanish ministry and queen regent. President McKinley also in structed General Woodford to impress upon the public men at Madrid these three vital points: First The United States is not actu ated by an unfriendly feeling toward Spain. Second The United States does not desire to take advantage of Spain's troubles with her colony to bring about the annexation of Cuba to this coun try. Third Eut unless Spain will herself make a move toward meeting the in evitable, toward giving Cuba freedom, the United States will be compelled to interfere, and in the case of interven tion, annexation might naturally fol low. TWENTY GOVERNORS Will be at Chicago July 22 at the Logan Monument Unvsiling. Chicago, June 18. Twenty governors of as many different states in the Un ion have signified their intention to be in Chicago at the unveiling of the Lo gan monument July 22. It is expected that at least two-thirds of the other governors to whom invitations have b-:en seiii will accept and make Logan day the occasion of one of the most no table assemblies of state executives in the history of Chicago. Those who have signified their inten tion of being here on that date are: Al bania, J. F. Johnson; California, J. H. Budd: Connecticut, Lorin A. Cooke; Florida, W, D. Bluxham; Georgia. W. Y.

It will not only be the most represen tative, but by far the mcst picturesque i:' the state executives will come attir ed in all the pomp and circumstance of w r, accompanied by their staffs in fuil vniform. With the 7,000 troops of the Iliinois national guard, the regi in nts of regulars from Fort Sheridan fit-d other army posts in the west, the Cr.nd Army posts from all over the i.itthwest, the militia organizations fr-'in the other states, and the miscel-l::ii'.-ous organizations, the parade on I- g.an day will be a memorable event. Th- question of President McKinley torn ins wps settled yesterdav bv a let-t-r from Washington which unofficially ii tared the president would be in Chi li'. ,g- on Logan day.

In order to concentrate their strength the Hanna forces had placed a legislative slate in the field. This slate was broken by the Foraker men. but the legislative delegation nominated will vote for Mr. Hanna for United States senator if elect ed next November. TO HUN A IMA CAR. Santa Fe Will Have One on the Kan sas City Chicago Line. The Roraback trouble at Kansas City has resulted in the Santa Fe manage ment sending out the pay car to pay off the employes owr the entire Chicago di vision this week. It is impossible to run in "straw men" when the employes are paid off in this manner, and although it is denied that any other official besides Mr. Roraback is implicated in the trouble this precaution is taken as a result of the Kansx ctif "-ouble. Before leaonng for the west on Wednes day of this week. General Manager Frev stated that Mr. Roraback was the only official connected with the trouble at Kansas City, and that the difference be tween the company and Mr. Roraback bad been satisfactorily adjusted. COLLINS STILL LIVES. The Man Accused of Assaulting Him Preparing for Defense. St. Louis, June 18. Charles D. Col lins, the Tennessee horseman who was brutally beaten and robbed at Meramec Highlands, is still in a critical condi tion as the result of the 14 wounds on his head. The physician believes that at present the chances of recovery are not so bright as they were Wednesday. Preparations are being, made for Martin Ensley's defense. His sister, who is the wife of Surgeon J. H. P. Hodgson, U. S. N., has engaged Lee Merriwether, late state labor commis sioner, by wire, and instructed him to spare no expense in the way of hiring detectives and running down clues. The few intimate friends whom Mar tin Ensley has in St. Louis, do not be lieve in his guilt. They say Ensley will plead not guilty. One of these friends said: "Thedefense believes it can be proven that Collins did r.ot have $6,000 in his pockets. He possibly had that much Tuesday morning, but evidence is al ready coming to light that he lost a large sum at the fair grounds that af ternoon. Detectives have been engaged to locate where that hammer was bought, and they may throw some light on the mystery." Ensley is held in jail at Clayton, Mo., no one having volunteered to go on a $5,000 bond for him. THE FLOW OF GOLD. Exports Are Dwindling and Are Expected to Stop Soon. New York, June IS. Kidder, Peabody Co., of Boston will ship $500,000 in gold to Europe next Tuesday. Heidel bach, Iekelheimer Co. of New York, will tomorrow ship $100,000 in gold. This gold will be obtained from, private sources. It looks as though the present out ward movement of gold would be con fined to about $20,000,000. Tills month is likely to see the end of the exports, unless there should be unexpected de velopments at home and abroad. Some times the exports extend into July, but conditions this year are different from most years. There is every prospect that there will be large imports of gold this fall. The exports of silver, which have been quite large this year, represent hss American silver than ordinarily. In the month of May the gross exports of silver were $1,000,000 leRS than in 189G. The imports of silver in that mon'.h were $627,000 more than in 1S96, reducing the net silver exports more th n 50 per cent. For 11 months of the fiscal year the net exports have decreased S60O.OOO. Gross imports have increased $2,400,000. while exports have increased nearly $3,000,000. Fully one third of the- silver now being exported frm the United States is foreign silver sent here for' convenience in transit. INTO CHICAGO IUVER. Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul Train Goes Through an Open Draw. Chicago, June 18. A north bound su burban train on the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul road ran into the Chicago river last night at Kinzie street. Six men were hurt, but it is not expected that any of them will die. Following is a list of the injured: Elmer Goshorn, brakeman.hurt about side a. ;d arms. Frank G. Cleveland, engineer, hole torn in right leg. William. E. Stevens, foreman, hurt in side and arms. George Upchurch, passenger, bruised in side. J. M. Merkly, bruised about chest. Unknown man, hurt in chest and slightly injured. The train, which consisted of the en gine and two cars, the first a combina tion smoker and baggage car, the other a passenger coach left the depot at 9:40 arid rive minutes later the engine and baggage car were in the Chicago river. The train was moving slowly. But f r this fact the entire train must have g ne into the river and the loss of life bes n heavy, as the passenger coaches which dod not go in contained 30 pas sengers. The truins always stop an in stant before going on the bridge and Engineer Clevclc nd came to a stop about 200 feet south of the bridge. The lights were all right, signalling that the draw was closed, and he started up .'ig-.iin. In a minute he saw through the darkness the shape of the bridge stand irg open and made a desperate effort to Siup the train. It was too late, how ever, and the engine plunged into the open draw, dragging with it the first car. The accident, according to James Harrington, the bridge tender was due entirely to the arrangement of thelights on the bridge. A large hexagon light is used, one-half the light being red. one-half white. Harrington said that he had opened the bridge for the pas sage of a tug with a mud scow and was just swinging the bridge shut when the train came on. He claimed that the engineer had caught an oblique glance t the light instead of a look full at its face, and said that in either case the light would, from the tracks on which the engine was coming, show white. He easily proved his case by swinging the bridge into position it occupied when the train ran over the edge and the ac cident seems to have been caused en tirely by the arrangement of the light. About 15 people, including the train men, were carried into the water, but all were rescued without difficulty. A CLOUD OF HEIKS. Another Brother of Barnato Turns Up in the Penitentiary. Buffalo, N. Y.. June 18. Samuel Bar nett, who is serving a sentence in the Erie county penitentiary for assault, declares he is the brother of Barney Barnato. Roland Barnato of Montreal who also claimed that he was a brother of the "diamond king," he says, is his brother, and the Chicago woman calling herself Alice Esther, he believes to be his sister, Alice Esther Barnett, Who went to Africa several years ago to keep house for Barney. Since then he had lost all track of both. Topeka Should Have It F. P. Edson and R. S. Brigham of the Commercial club are working on a plan to secure the manufacture of the Anderson hose coupler in Topeka. Mr. Edson today called at several of the foundries and found that they can be made as well in Topeka as elsewhere. Mr. Anderson, who lives in Ottawa, will be consulted, and the club will try to induce him to open "headquarters here. SANTAJE MEN. A Big Conference of the Office Men Today To Consider Plans for the Sil Ter Anniversary. A QUESTION OF FUNDS The First One to Be Considered Carefully. No Employe to Be Asked to Contribute Heavily. The different departments of the Santa Fe general offices will be repre sented as follows at the conference be tween the delegates from the various departments and Mr. C. W. Kouns, the Santa Fe member of the Committee of Fifteen. General manager's office B. T.Lewis. General superintendent's office A. S. Rankin. General freight department E. F. Hollies. General passenger department F. S. Savage. Law department O. J. Wood. Tax department E. T. Cartlidge. Claim department C. W. Ryus. Engineering department John A. Dailey. Fuel department J. D. Norton. Telegraph department L. M. Jones. Car service department J. M. Tor rence and J. W. Dugan. Auditor of passenger receipts' office J. F. Mitchell. Auditor's office G. B. Gallon and C. F. Cavert. Auditor of freight receipts office W. J. Healy, J. T. Riggs, C. C. Henshaw, R. S. Morrison, Wm. Trautman, E. H. Shepherd and E. H. Shumway. The conference will be held in the office of Mr. I. S. Lauck. auditor of disbursements, immediately after the offices close at 5:30 this evening. The various delegates will advance ideas that have been gathered after talking over the matter of the anniversary cel ebration for several days, and some plan of active work will be decided on. A number of suggestions will be made by the various delegates at the confer ence this evening. Some are in favor of the different department preparing individual floats, while others favor the idea of representing the general offices as a whole with one or more floats. The question of expense in prepar ing a display will also be taken up and discussed. It is probable that the company will not afford any financial assistance other than the $500 donated to the general fund, and if any money is secured for the Santa Fe office dis plays it will have to come from the Committee of Fifteen. If the commit tee is unable to render any financial aid to the office employes the funds will have to be raised exclusively by indi vidual subscriptions, or by some kind of entertainments. It is quite possible the Santa Fe com pany itself will provide a number of displays. If the entire funds to prepare dis plays will have to be raised by indi vidual subscriptions, the plan of hav ing department displays will probably have to be abandoned. The employes of all the offices will then unite in pre paring one or two big displays, which would on the whole be the best way. as each town sending a delegation will probably send a display, and there will be many of them. Mr. A. S. Rankin, chief clerk in the office of the general superintendent, suggests that two float3 be prepared, one tending to show the condition of the road 25 years ago and the other its condition at the present time. Mr. F. J. Mitchell, chief clerk in the office of the auditor of passenger re ceipts, thinks that the display prepar ed by the employes should be made representative of the growth of the road, and that a sufficient number of floats to carry this idea out be arrang ed. He suggests that the display start with an old time stage coach. Mr. W. J. Healy, chief clerk in the auditor of freight receipts' office, would like to have five floats, one from each of the divisions of his department in the parade. "I think we could prepare an interesting display in this way," said Mr. Healy, "showing the work of the different divisions. It is doubtful however, if we could raise sufficient money from individual subscriptions." Mr. L. M. Jones, chief clerk in the telegraph department, suggests a min iature telegraph line, showing at re spective ends the way telegraphing was carried on 25 years ago and the way in which it is carried on today, as a display from his department. Mr. F. S. Savage, in charge of the advertising department in this city, believes that the employes of the of fices as a whole should unite in prepar ing a display. "I think it would be impracticable for every department to g-et up a float," said Mr. Savage, "and besides I think a better showing' could be made by uniting in making a dis play." The employes will probably be able to take the matter up in a svstematic manner after the conference tonight. TOPEKA WOMAN'S FORTUNE Mrs. Frank Merriam Will Probably Receive $150,000 From the Thornton Ranch. San Antonia, June IS. The deal was closed today for the sale of the Thornton ranch, near here, by the heirs of the Thornton estate to John W. Mackay, the New York millionaire. The ranch con sists of over 100,000 acres, and is one of the finest in Texas. It is reported that Mr. Mackay will stock the place with thoroughbred horses and make a breed ing farm. This is the property that belonged to the Thornton heirs. Mrs. Frank Merriam of Topeka is one of them. The sale of the ranch was necessary in a division of the property and Mrs. Merriam, whose share of the estate was in the neighbor, hood of $150,000 will receive a portion of the proceeds of the sale. Turned on the Gas and Died. Chicago, June 18. W. L. Church, a politician, was found dead today in a room at xaa Kauaotpn street. Death had been caused by asphyxiation from gas which was flowing from an open let. Despondency over illness of long standing is believed ta have been the cause. Church was 45 years old. He leaves a. widow and three children. HURRYING THE TARIFF. Tha Bill Now Seems Likely to Pass Sooner Than Expected. Washington, June IS The progress made with the tariff bill during the past few days has encouraged many sena tors to believe that tle bill will be com pleted sooner than generally anticipat ed. I Senators who are. in charge of the opposition to the bill served notice on some Republican senators that if there should be an attempt to pass a bill for a monetary commission, or if the Dem ocrats became convinced that it was the intention to bring forward such a measure, the debate on the tariff bill might be prolonged indefinitely. They were willing to allow the tariff bill to go through with their protests against the increased rates, but they do not want to consider the commission bill at this session. Whether this will have any effect up on the programme of the Republicans has not yet been determined, but the desire of the Republicans to git the tariff bill through and get away from Washington may result in postponing any proposed action until next Decem ber. It has been pointed out that there will be great difficulty in retain ing a quorum here after the tariff bill has passed. Already there is talk of consideration of the tariff bill in con ference. The Republican members of the ways and means committee are noting the changes in the bill from day to day and preparing themselves tocon sider the bill in conference with the least possible delay The committee has not acted as a body, so nothing can be said as to the determination of the house members on any particular schedules. A SHOCKING AFFAIR. Miss Minnie Wolff Dies of In juries Received in a Runaway. Miss Minnie Wolff, the 19-year-old daughter of Mr. Charles Wolff of Tenth and Polk streets, was thrown out of her buggy last evening at 8:30 o'clock at the corner of Sixth and Lane streets and injured in such a manner that death resulted today. Miss Calla Witt, daughter of Mrs. Margaret Witt of 1015 Polk street, who was with her, was also thrown from the buggy and bruised. The two young ladies were driving the family horse hitched to a phaeton and had turned onto Sixth street from Lane street. The animal took fright at a small donkey which was tied in the street parking and wheeled sud denly. The young ladies were violently thrown from the buggy. Miss Witt alighted in the parking and was but slightly injured. But Miss Wolff was thrown with terrific force against a tel egraph pole. She was picked up un conscious and was removed to her home at Tenth and Polk streets in Knight's ambulance where Drs. J. C. McClintock. L. Y. Grubbs and Wm. Wehe attended her. It was found that there was a terrible fracture at the base of the skull. The fracture ex tended around both sides to the ear cavities. The surgeons at once gave up all hope of her recovery. She did not regain consciousness and died this afternoon at 1:45 o'clock. Miss Minnie Wolff was 19 years of age today. A week ago her father told her to select a watch for her birthday. Mr. Wolff purchased for her a fine solid gold watch. The horse which was driven last ev ening is a fine blooded animal and of high spirit. Miss Wolff was a fine horsewoman and no fears were enter tained for her safety when driving the animal. She was a high school student, was bright and popular, and was the old est of four children and the pride of her parents. The accident is one of the most shock ing that has taken place in Topeka for many months. BELLAMY'S "E(JUALIT Y." The New Book Follows the Lines Laid Sown in "Looking Backward" New "Fork June 18. Edward Bella my's new book, "Equality," upon which he has worked five years, is about to be issued. In the 400 and odd pages there are some novel incidental ideas, but the central theme Is the same the author employed in "Looking Backward." As in his former work, Mr. Bellamy creates a model community, wherein everybody is happy, and labor is re garded as a luxury. There is no em ployer or employe; no rich and no poor; no laborer and no capitalist. No drones were permitted in this altruria; every one was obliged to do his or her share of the general work. If anyone refused to perform his part of the genera", labor he was debarred from partaking of the benefits of the community. The capital of the nation was held by all in com mon. The annual credit for an adult citizen for that year was $4,000. Every one started the year with the same bal ance to his credit and his credit was not transferable. Individual deposits were not required before opening accounts: the people collectively, made the deposit once and for all. Women were free to choose whatever trade or profession they preferred. They wore trousers, which, Mr. Bellamv savs were enchanting as to color and fabric. All the clothes were made of paper, whih, when they bicame soiled, were ground up and remade. EDWARDS GOES FREE.

Officers and citi zens went to the scene, found Miss Aus tin's body floating and fished up the other bodies with drag hdoks. The bodies showed no marks of violence. At the inquest, Norsworthy testified substantially as follows: He and Mr. King left the bank at 4:20 and drove to Mr. King's ranch, where they met Miss Austin and Miss Schenck. The party drove about the ranch, viewing the cat tle and shooting birds until dark, when they had lunch. After the moon rose they weiit to the pool to bathe. The young ladies put on loose wrappers and the gentlemen donned old trousers and shirts. Mr. King and Miss Austin en tered the pool together and were followed by Norsworthy and Miss Schenck. Mr. King and Miss Austin got into deep wa ter, commenced to strangle and called for Norsworthy. He swam out to them, but could render no assistance, and they went under for the third time. Miss Schenck, in the excitement, followed Norsworthy, and, being unable to swim, drowned also. Norsworthy went under once or twice, but reached the shore and fell on the bank unconscious. The affair has caused the greatest sen sation this city has ever witnessed. Mr. King leaves a wife, a grown daughter and two sons, who were prostrated with grief upon hearing of his tragic ending. Mr. King's body was embalmed and will not be interred until tomorrow. The remains of Miss Austin will be shipped tonight to Kansas City, Mo., her former home.

Cockburn's Tale. "A lunch with a good strong cup of coffee used to answer my needs for noonday, but of late I have been com pelled to leave off the coffee because it made me throw up occasionally. I tried chocolate, but that didn't fit the taste, neither did tea. Finally my wife sug gested that I use her drink, Postum Ce real, the grain beverage. It proved so near like fine Mocha in color and taste that it suited me vastly better than any of the other breakfast drinks and the stomach and bowels made no more complaint, in fact I have recovered entirely from any trouble of this sort, and we couldn't keep house without Postum for our coffee." So says Geo. A. Cockburn, grocer, at Lansing, Mich. Wrrite him. Postum Cereal is a pure grain bev erage that looks and tastes like coffee.

JIMJERRY The Tramp Millionaire Again in St. Louis. He Buys Dollar Cigars for His Friends. BIG SHOWERS OF COO For Waiters and Bellboys at the Hotel. Still Accompanied By His Friend Thomas Manion. St. Louis, June IS. Jim Berry, tha "tramp millionaire," is stopping at the St. Nicholas hotel in grand style. Ac companied by his friend, Thomas Man ion of Mount Vernon, 111., he is enjoy ing the best of everything in the; house and making life a soft snap for all the waiters and bell boys, who hasten to answer his every beck and call with more than ordinary celerity. When seen by a reporter Mr. Berry was lolling in a luxurious corridor and puffing away at a $1 cigar. His legs were crossed in a comfortable fashion and he was evidently enjoying to its fullest extent his new found wealth. "Well, I'm here," said Berry. "Camein with my friend Manion from Mount Pleasant. Manion is a great fellow, and has plenty of coin. Why, his thirst palace over in Mount Pleasant is a dream. It's fixed up in grand style and beats anything you ever saw. Tom's a good fellow and a thoroughbred. "You know I'm in a little trouble;, over there at Mount Pleasant. I'll come out all right. Of course, I've get to see it through, and I'm going back there tomorrow. My race horse, buggy and all other accoutrements are in Mount Pleasant. I just ran down for a day on business and will be gone to morrow. "I like St. Louis. It's a great town, and has got more saloons to the squaru foot than anything east of Denver.Ever been in Denver or New York? No; well you've missed half of your life. Hum ming towns; swift .'is greased lightning, as many people in the streets at night as dur.ng the day. All things consider ed, though I like St. Louia about ad well as any of them. It ain't any hard er to spend your money here than in New York, but that ain't saying much, for it's dead easy to make the coin fly anywhere. Over in Mount Pleasant, for instance, T can spend $1,000 in a night and never own iiny more of the town when I fimsh than when I commenced. This thing of buying up saloons and other things -n the installment plan is mighty got d for the other' fellow. "By the way, I see that some paper published that 1 inherited only about $15,000. Now, that's a rank fake. It's nearer a million. Why, what's $15,000 to a man of my capacity? I'm worth nearer a million and I may invest some here in St. Louis, for I hear the. capi talists say that it is the most substan tial city in the country." Having concluded. Berry sought and obtained an introduction to Manager Cunningham. "I've heard of you over in Illinois." said Berry. "They said you kept about the swellest place in St. Louis, and I decided right away on your hotel. No cheap joints go with m. you know: got to have the very finest in the land." Berry then strolled away with his friend to take a night cap of 20-year-old bourbon ard another dollar cigar. CAME TO SEE LEEDY. Senator Lamb Says He Will Ask the Governor to Call an Extra Session. Senator G. H. Lamb of Woodson county, preacher, lawyer and politician, the man whose speeches on the floor of the senate during the last session brought him intJ prominence and made him one of the most interesting figures of the legislature, is in Topeka today for the first time since the legis lature adjourned. Since that time Sen ator Lamb says that he has been at tending strictly to business as an at torney and giving politics little or no consideration. "I came to Topeka to see Governor Leedy on a little personal matter," said Senator Lamb at the Copeiand this morning. "You know the governor is an old friend of mine; he lived around in my county once, and I am going to ask him for old acquaintance sake to call a special session of the legislature. I made up my mind recently that a special session is what the Republicans want." "How did you happen to change your mind?" questioned the reporter. "Well, it was this way," said the pompadour senator. "I read in the pa pers about the money the Pops madts by the last session, and I think if the governor will call a special session the Republicans will be able to get some of the pie. It isn't fair that the Pops should be the only favored ones, and I think Governor Leedy should call a, special session for the sake of justice. "That investigation was a farce from beginning to end," continued Senatoi Lamb. "There wasn't a particle oif evidence introduced there that woulii have been taken in any court of jus- tice in the land. When you accuse a man of crime you should know some- thing to back up your accusation, but the witnesses at the investigation didn't know anything. They guessed a whole lot, but they didn't know any thing. Well, we all guessed a great deal." "What do you think of the Kansas appointments?" queried the reporter. "I was surprised at Billy Sterne's move, and on the whole made up my mind that Senator Baker had more sense than I had formerly given him credit for having. "I believe Baker made a good move when he sent Out those appointments. The slate was neither a Leland nor an anti-Leland one. Leland and his friends have no room to kick, and nei ther have the majority of the other fel lows. "Some day I will go to Washington myself and fix up a slate," continued Senator Lamb. "I don't mean to forget governor Leedy, either, for as I said, the governor and I are old neighbors. I will give Mr. Leedy the appointment of minister to Vera Cruz. No one waa ever known to come back from Vera Cruz." Band Concert At Garfield park this evening byJJCar-" Rbnll's band.

QUEER EXPLANATION Given by a Married Woman of Why She Left Her Husband Her Sister Hypnotized Her. St. Louis, Juno 18. This Is a story of love, hypnotism, marital infelicity and reconciliation. The principals were Mr. and Mra. Gus tav H. Kuhnert of 2314 South Broadway. The Kuhnerts will soon embark on the sea of matrimony for the second time if Mrs. Kuhnert is humble enough in her apologies and retractions.- She must take back all the hard things she said about Qua during- the six weeks they have been separated ana comply with other condi tions set forth in a written agreement. Above all things she must keep herself out of range of the hypnotic influence which both she and her husband believe caused all their troubles. Mrs. Kuhnert is dark-eyed and hand some and prior to her marriage about a year ago. lived with her mother, Mrs. Minnie Stoehnert, at 2210 Hebert street. Kuhnert has a lucrative position as master machinist for the Fink Granite Milling company. Mrs. Kuhnert was very pertinent when she told the story of her matrimonial troubles to a Post-Dis patch reporter. "We were married on April she said, "and went to live in .home at 2314 South Broadway, euch saved up a little money. 2S. 1SS6," a pretty We had We fur- nished our home nicely and were very happy until a change, which I cannot f now understand, came over me. I "My husband was steady and very kind to me and I had cause to be proud of him nd was until three months ago. "About that time my sister Laura be trail visiting us. She is a peculiar girl and always had a strange influence over me, even when I was living at home before my marriage. "She never liked Mr. Kuhnert. I don't know that she ever said or did anything that made me believe this but some way I just felt that it was so. "When she would visit us I would al ways think of my husband's little faults. real or imaginary, and would brood about them after she had left. On the few oc- casions when she made remarks about my husband it seemed to me that I had thought of the same thing just before she spoke. "She had made a good many visits be bore she openly found fault with Mr. Kuhnert. She made remarks that I j would have resented had any one else made them. But I seemed powerless to reply to her. Six weeks ago our house j was robbed. My watch and some ether jewelry were stolen. I reported the mat- ter to the police. j "The next day my sister called at the house. She told me that my husband j must have taken the jewelry. I had j never thought of such a thing, but I be lieved my sister blindly. "Laura told me she would give me $100 and a gold watch if I would leave my husband and go back to mother. "Nearly all the furniture in the house belonged to me. One day, while Mr. Kuhnert was at work, I moved our house- 1 hold effects to mother's house and left my j husband. "Laura's influence over me was still strong, and I pushed the investigation of j the robbery, thinking all along that I j would find my husband guilty. I "I ha'l been at home only a short time when Laura told me she was going to get I married and would like to buy my furni ture. I sold her the furniture very cheap. Now she's married to a man named Schu cat. She has a husband and is using my furniture, and I well, I'm living at home with my mother. I guess they've given me the bag to hold. "I have found out that all of my suspi cions about my husband were unfounded. I know that he did not take my jewelry. and I know I have been very foolish. 1 know my sister hypnotized me. Now that i she is married she has no influence over me "I am going back to live with my hus band. He says he will forgive me if I undo all the injury I did him." Mr. Kuhnert has drawn up the follow ing agreement, which Mrs. Kuhnert has I signed: Mrs. Minnie Kuhnert. in the pres ence or her brother, Fred Stoehnert. desires to give back the good reputa tion of her husband. She is sorry she did wrong and spoke wrong about her husband. She takes back every blame he put on him. She acknowledges that her mtnd was controlled by other persons, especially by her sister Laura, who undermined her peace since she was married. She left him from 1314 fouth Broadway, took everything with her and sold the furniture fo her sis ter Laura. 2210 Hebert street. After all she got sorry. She found that she had wronged her husband. He Is innocent of all the troubles and quarrels she had with him. She says her husband is a respectable and good man, a man to live in peace with any wife. She would like to live with him again, and will replace the furniture and dc her Vest for him and not listen to other people any more. Mrs. Kuhnert says she will keep the agreement to the letter and will buy new furniture and stand all the expenses of a second matrimonial venture. Mrs. Laura Schucat. the sister, who is alleged to have caused all the trouble, lives at 1B23 Montgomery street. She was highly incensed when told what Mrs. Kuhnert had said about her. She paced the floor and wrung her hands for live minutes before she would consent to make a statement of any kind. She was washing clothes when the reporter called. "There's not a word of truth in it," she said. "I never influenced my sister against her husbang. On the contrary when she complained about him I used to tell her she was foolish, that she had a I good husband and ought to appreciate him. "I did not promise to give her $100 and a gold watch if she would leave Gus. 1 couldn't afford to do anything like that. "If I have hypnotic power I don't know It. I have always tried to treat my sis ter right, and if I had any influence over her it was for good not evil. As to the theft of the jewelry she said from the first that her husband took it. I tried to persuade her that he was innocent, but she wouldn't listen to me. I bought her furniture and paid for it. I don't owe her anything, and I want her to let me alone. "I suppose she wants to square herself in the eyes of her husband, and thinks he'll believe everything she tells him. I could tell him a few things myself, but I won't." STRATTON IN FRISCO. The Cripple Creek Millionaire on ft Pleasure Trip. San Francisco. June IS. W. S. Stratton, the millionaire owner of the Independence mine and largely interested in the Port land mine, both of Cripple Creek, is at the Baldwin. He has come west In com pany with his sister, Mrs. J. S. Cobb of San Jose, who has until lately been vis iting him at his home in Colorado Springs. Mr. Stratton has come here very largely for pleasure and the length of his stay is indefinite. He visited this state several months ago for a short time but did not, as he said yesterday, visit any of the mining camps or make any in vestments. "I suppose Colorado suits me better tot mining that any other state," said Mr. Stratton. "I understand the formation there better and the treatment of ores; know the people and know how to go about thinsrs. There is a EOOd deal in that. So I have not contemplated mak ing any investments In any other part of the country. Times are about as good in Colorado as they are anywhere. "Cripple Creek is mining- regularly about a million dollars worth of ore per month. That's a good deal for a little camp like that. It's only between three and four miles square, and a new place, so that, altogether, I think it is doing very well. "Business in the town is rather over done, and it is quiet there on that ac count. During the boom a great many different kinds of business were started, and now since things have settled down to a steady basis business men are not doing as much as formerly." BUREAU OF REQUIREMENTS Woman of the New York 400 Opens an Office. New York, June IS. Another woman of the Four Hundred has turned her atten tion to breadwinning in a striking way. The latest and most original addition to the ranks of trade is Mrs. Ledyard Stev ens, who has opened a business office at 9 West Forty-second street. Mrs. Stev ens, who is cultured and handsome, num bers among her relatives members of the A3tor family. Her mother was Miss Elizabeth Winthrop Chanler, and through her she is a cousin to Winthrop Chanler and to William Astor Chanler, the Afri can explorer. She is also a cousin to Mrs. Henry White, whose husband is the first secretary of tne American embassy in London, and to Mrs. Adolf Ladenburg. Mrs. Stevens has established what she styles a bureau of social requirements. "What do I intend to do?" she said. "I will do every earthly thing that any one else may have to do but do not want to do themselves, provided that they pay my little fee. "My schedule, generally speaking-, is: For personal advice, $1.50: for a personal visit to a house or an unimportant affair, $2.50; for personal supervision of a dinner or small evening entertainment, $25; to superintend a small dinner party or min or entertainments out of town, $25 and my traveling expenses. "I am willing to give assistance to hos tesses and housekeepers, and persons with smart ideas and designs. I'd go to any one's house and dismantle it and put it in its summer clothes, and then rear range it in the fall. In a word, what would be tiresome and irksome to people to do themselves I am willing to under take." TO ERICSSON'S MEMORY. Swedish-Americans Decide to Erect a Statue in Minneapolis. Minneapolis, June 18. At a meeting of representative Swedish-American citizens held at Orpheus hall last evening, prelim inary steps were taken towards the erec tion of a monument to the memory of John Ericsson in this city. Those in attendance at the meeting re viewed the reasons why a statue should be erected to the memory of the illus trious Swede. The historical features, which have made Ericsson famous, were dwelt upon by the different speakers and in particular the "cheesebox," which played such an important part in the re bellion. Following the expression of opinion this resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that a monument should be erect ed to the memory of John Ericsson, and that th Sewedish-Americans take the in itiative in this movement." It was thereupon decided that the presi dent and the secretary of the meeting call the next meeting, which will arrange for a mass meeting, at which time the project will be more thoroughly discussed.

One Victim Inoculated With the Dis ease by Vaccination. San Francisco, June 18. The steamer Australia of the Oceanic line returned from the sugar refinery yesterday, and the Mariposa took her place. Both ves sels bring news of the spread of leprosy in the islands. Whites are being taken down with the disease, and two men were sent to Molokai while the Australia was In port. Another victim was George Breuns, a popular young lineman in the employ of the telephone company. How he became inoculated is thus explained by people who came up on the Australia: Tears ago the young Breuns were vacci nated. There was something wrong with the lymph, and the operation was a fail ure. The children next door had been vaccinated at the same time, and in their case it was a success. Some lymph was taken from their sores and the young Breuns were vaccinated again with it. Nearly all the children have reached ma turity, and nearly all the neighbor's chil. dren are now lepers. The disease has spread to the Breuns' family, and George Is the second one of them that has been consigned to Molokai. A native woman Is a peculiar example of immunity from the disease. She has had four husbands, every one of whom became lepers and were deported, yet she does not show a trace of the disease. These are isolated cases that have come to light, but they serve to show that lep rosy is not dying out in Hawaii. POPULISTS IN CHARGE. Editor Ramsay is Now Carolina Agri culture Commissioner.

In White Oak, this county, live Mrs. Martha Berry, aged 40, and her pretty daughter, Ma tilda, just 18, and their neighbor, John son Whitley, a prosperous young farm er of 30 and a widower. Whitley has been paying attention to Matilda for six months. The mother would not consent to their marriage, but did not object to the young widower's calls. He pleaded with the widow for her daughter's hand to no purpose, and the young people planned an elopement. Widow Berry discovered it and went to her daughter's room shortly after dark, bound the girl hand and foot, tied a gag in her mouth, took her to her own room and tied her to the bed. She then returned to the daughter's room and when Whitley came to steal away his love the widow answered the summons, and without speaking a word joined the young man in the yard and drove with him to Grayson, where he had arranged with Judge Morris to perform the ceremony. Whitley was surprised at the silence of his companion, but as she leaned confidir.gly on his arm and appeared to be sobbing all the time he could do nothing more than caress her now and then and cheer her by telling her that her mother would forgive her. It was not until after the ceremony was per formed on the Judge's front porch and they had gone to a hotel that the bride groom saw he had married the widow. He decided at once to make the best of the situation and took his wedded wife home. It was left for a neighbor to find Matilda bound and the next morning release her. TAX ON EGYPTIAN COTTON.

The Secretary of State's Paper on Hawaiian Annexation. Seems to Corer the Question in AH Its Phases. THE ONLY WAT OPEN. Situation Has Changed Materi ally Since 1893. Any Course But Annexation is Out of the Question He Says. Washington, June 18. The senate in executive session yesterday afternoon made public the Hawaiian annexation treaty and accompanying papers. Accompanying the president's mess age and the treaty was the following report from secretary Sherman: The President: The undersigned, secretary of state, has the honor to lay before the presi dent for submission to the senate, should it be deemed for the public in terest to do so, a treaty signed in the city of "Washington on the lttth instant by the undersigned and by the duly empowered representative of the re public of Hawaii, whereby the islands constituting the said republic of Ha waii and all their dependencies are fully i 3 TTniroH ana absolutely ceucu .u States of America forever. It does not seem necessary to the purpose of the undersigned to review the incident of 183, when a similar treaty ui Beiu. ,-oa cis-ned nn February 14 and submit ted trv th senate, being subsequently withdrawn by the president on tne sin nf March following. The negotiation which has culminated in the treaty now submitted has not been a mere resump tion of the negotiation of 1893. but was initiated and has been conducted upon independent lines. Then an abrupt revolutionary move ment had brought about the dethrone ment of the late queen and set up in stead of the heretofore titulary mon archy a provisional government for the control ari'i management of public af fairs and the protection of the public peace, such government to exist only until terms of union with the United States should have been negotiated and agreed upon. Thus self-constituted, its promoters claimed for it only a de facto existence until the purpose of an nexation in which it took rise should be accomplished. As time passed and the plan of union with the United States became an uncertain contin gency, the organization of the Hawaii an commonwealth underwent necessary changes: the temporary character of its government gave place to a perma nent scheme under a constitution fram ed by the representatives of the elect ors of the island. Administration by an executive council not chosen by suf frage, but by self-appointment, was succeeded by an elective and parlia mentary regime and the ability of the new government to hold as the republic of Hawaii, an independent place in the family of sovereign states, preserving order at home and fulfilling interna tional obligations abroad, has been put to the proof. Recognized by the powers of the earth, sending and receiving envoys, enforcing respect for the law and main taining peace within its island borders. Hawaii sends to the United States, not a commission representing a successful revolution, but the accredited plenipo tentiary of a constituted and firmly es tablished sovereign state. However sufficient may have been the authority of the commissioners with whom the United States government treated in 1893, and however satisfied the pres ident may then have been of their power to offer the dominion of the Ha waiian islands to the United States, the fact remains that what they then tendered was a territory rather than an established government, a country whose administration had been cast down by a bloodless but complete revo lution and a community in a state of political transition. Now, however, the republic of Ha waii approaches the United States as an equal and points for its authority to that provision of article 32 of the constitution, promulgated July 24, 1894: "The president, with the approval of the cabinet, is hereby expressly author ized and empowered to make a treaty of political or commercial union be tween the republic of Hawaii and the United States of America, subject to the ratification of the senate." j The present negotiation is therefore i as has ben said not a mere renewal of the tender of Hawaiian territory made j in 1893, but has responded to the pur pose declared in the Hawaiian consti tution and the conferences of the pleni potentiaries have been directed to weighing the advantages of the political and the commercial union alternative proposed here relatively considering the scope and the extent thereof. It soon I appeared to the negotiators that a -I purely commercial union on the lines I of the German zoliverein could not sat isfy the problems of the administration in Hawaii and of the political assoeia- I tions between the islands and the Uni- t ted States. Such a commercial union would on the one hand deprive the Ha- I waiian government of its chief source of revenue from customs duties by plac- I ir.g its territory in a relation of free ex- 1 rh. nge with the territory of the United States, Its main market of purchase and supply. while on the other hand it would entail upon Hawaii the maintenance of an internal revenue system on a .par with that of the United States, or else I involve the organization of a corres- I pond ng branch of our revenue service within a foreign Jurisdiction. We have had with Hawaii since 1S75, a treaty of commercial union, which practically assimilates the two terri- j tories with regard to many of their j most important productions and ex- i eludes other nations from enjoyment of its privileges, yet although that treaty has outlived other less favored recip rocity schemes, its permanen-cy has at times been gravely imperilled. Under such circumstances to enter upon the radical experiment or a complete com mercial union between Hawaii and the United States as independently sov ereign, without assurance of perman ency end with perpetual subjection to the vicissitudes of public sentiment in the two countries, was not to be thought of. Turning then to the various practical forms of political union the several phases of a protectorate, an offensive and defensive alliance and a national ru-Jrantee, were passed in review.In all of these the independence of the subor dinated state is the distinguishing fea ture and with it the assumption by the paramount state of responsibility, with out domain.

There remained therefore the annexa tion of the islands and their complete absorption into the political system of the United States as the solution satis fying all the given conditions and prom ising permanency and mutual benefit. The present treaty has been framed on this baeis, thus substantially everting to the original proposal of 1893 and nec essarily adopting many of the features of that arrangement. As to the most of these the negotia tors have been constrained and limited by the constitutional powers of the gov ernment of the United States.as in pre vious instances when the United States has acquired territory by treaty, it has been necessary to reserve all the organ ic provisions for the action of congress. If there was requisite in the ue of the transfer to the United States of tinrt of the domain of titular eovereignty as in tne cession oi louisiana to rFance, of Florida by Spain, or of Alaska bv Rus sia, it is the more requisite when the act is not cession but union, involving' tne complete incorporation of an alien sovereignty into the body politic of the united states, for this the onlv nre- cedent of our political history is found in tne uncompietea treaty concluded during President Orant's administra tion November 19. 1869, for the annexa tion of the Dominican reDublif tn the United States. Following that example the treaty now signed by the plenipotentiaries of the United States and the republic of Hawaii reserves to the coneress of the United States the determination of all questions affecting the form of govern ment of the annexed territory, the citi- zensnip ana elective franchise of its inhabitants and the manner In which laws of the United States are to- be ex tended to the islands. In order that this independence of the congress shall be complete and unques- iioraoie, ana pursuant to the recogniz ed doctrine of public law, that treaties expire with the independent life of the contracting state, there has been intro duced out of abundant caution an ex press proviso for the determination of all treaties heretofore concluded by Mawau witn roreign nations and the extension to the islands of the treaties of the United States. This leaves congress to deal with such especial regulation of the contract labor system of the islands as circum stances may require. There being no general provision of existing statutes to prescribe th,e form of government for newly incorporated territory, it was necessary to stipulate as in the Domin ican precedent for continuing the ex isting machinery of the government and laws in the Hawaii islands until provis ions shall be made by law for the gov ernment, as a territory of the United States of the domain thus incorporated into the union; but having in view the peculiar status created in Hawaii by laws enacted in execution of the treat ies heretofore concluded between Haw aii and other countries, only such Haw aiian laws are thus provisionally con tinued as shall not be incompatible with the constitution, or the laws of the Uni ted States or with provisions of this treaty. It will be noticed that express stipu lation is made prohibiting the coming of Chinese laborers from Hawaiian Is lands to any other part of our national territory. This provision was proper and necessary in view of the Chinese exclusion acts, and It behooved the ne gotiators to see to it that this treaty, which in turn is to become ii due con stitutional course, a supreme law of the lard, shall not alter or amnd ex isting law in this most Important re gard.

The Post's Wash ington special says: Opposition to the Hawaiian annex ation project has broken out much more violently than was anticipated by the administration and tl a treaty will be roughly handled when it comes up in the senate for ratification. Whether this opposition will be able to muster sufficient strength in that body to defeat ratification is a specu lative problem. It looks now as though the annexation party might not be able to command the necessary two-thirds vote. In any event it Is now taken for LE CASTORI A," AND AS OUR TRADE MARK. granted that favorable action at this special session either in the form or treaty ratification or legislation sus taining the administration plans, will be impossible. The strongest and most dangerous opposition will come from two sources, those who are against the acquisition of remote territory by the United States and opposed on principle to the em barkation by this government upon colonization schemes and second, those who will fight annexation on the plea that the cheap labor of the Hawaiian islands will seriously injure our agri cultural interests, probably checking the development or the beet sugar in dustry of the middle west which gives promise of being an Important addition to the production of the soil through out large sections of the country. There are many other reasons which will be urged, including, of course, the argument by taking on these remote I islands, the United States will no longer find it possible to sustain its hitherto impregnable position along the lines of the Monroe doctrine.

Township Trustees to Be the Custodian of Donations. And Suffering Farmers "Will Be Aided by Applying. Wichita, June IS. Many of the farm ers in the western portion of the county have been left in destitute circum stances, the terrific hail storm having destroved all of their crops. The farmtrs of other portions of the r.,,ntv- v-avo hfpn discussing the mat ter and have decided to adopt a social- j istic plan of a-ssisting the sufferers. The plan will be that of having the trustees of each township receive dona- tions of wheat, corn and oats and al- low the farmers who have lose men crops bv hail to come and get it on an order from someone designated to issue the orders. The farmers of Sedgwick county have been blessed with abundance, and some of them say there is no reason why the few farmers who have lost their all by no fault of their own should suffer when a donation that will never be missed would relieve them. County Commissioner Wilson is fathering the scheme and will donate luO bushels. CONGRESSIONAL WIND MILLS Scored, by Rev. S. E. Busser at Em poria Subject, "Frauds," Emroria, Jvne IS. Rev. S. E.

He gave utttrr.nee to the following on the Cuban question, which ought to have circulation: "It is a fraud for a great political par'v to put in their platform a Cuban resolution in favor of bringing to bear en influence to stop the indiscriminate xv.urdtr of the patriots of a neighboring i;land. and Then after victory crowns tlu ir benn'-rs. to sit down in congress pul start a go.'ng wind mi'ls of apology fur Spanish cruelty, by which to operate the pumps of legislation to water sugar eto k and enhance the fortunes of sugar kngs.

Ol it BUTTER IX ENGLAND. The First Shipment Commands No Better Price Than it Does at Home. Washington. June 18. The results of the first shipment of butter ever made by this government to foreign markets, this time to England, have been com municated to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in an official report from those who managed the experimental expor tation. The report says it is evident that unless the retailers can be reached without much extra expense on trans portation so that the relative prices can be realized, eastern creameries cannot afford to consider the question of ex porting their products. Two lots of but ter were sent, made at Ames, la., and Cornish, N. H. All was made last April "between hay and grass," the most dif ficult season for making butter of high flavor and good keeping quality. The lots were respectively 14 and ten days from the creameries. Cubical boxes were much preferred by the wholesalers. Small packages were not in favor with them, and, al though scoring high as to quality, the 30 pound tubs sold as "quarters" of 28 pounds, brought only 17Vi cents per pound, and five pound boxes and prints less than 1G cents. The wholesalers paid 18 1-5 cents for the Iowa butter in cubical boxes and for the identical boxes in Welch, or 60 pound creamery tubs, they paid only 17i cents, besides the gain of at least four pounds per tub in taking these tubs at 56 pounds net weight. One merchant, who was an exception, took two tubs at actual net weights, and paid only 16M. cents, paying 18 and IS 1-5 cents at the same time for two cubical boxes of the same butter.

QUOTES CLEVELAND To Prove That She is Right and Others Are Wrong. Pathetically Pleads for What She Calls Justice. Washington, June IS. Ex-Queen Lili uokalani has filed a protest in the office of the secretary of state. It was de livered into the hands of Secretary John Sherman by Mr. Joe Helaluhe, represent ing the native Hawaiians, duly commis sioned by two of their patriotic leagues. Mr. Helaluhe was accompanied by Capt. Julius A. Palmer, the American secretary of Liliuokalani. The protest is as fol lows: I, Liliuokalani, by the will of God named heir apparent on the 10th day of April, A. D. 177 and by the grace of God, Queen of the Hawaiian Islands on the 17th day of January, A. D. lst3, do hereby protest against the ratification of a certain treaty which, so I am informed, has been signed at Washington by Messrs. Hatch, Thurs ton and Kinney, purporting to cede those islands to the territory and dominion of the United States. I declare such treaty to be an act of wrong towards the na tive and part native people of Hawaii, an invasion of the rights of the ruling chiefs, in violation of international rights, both toward my people and toward friendly nations with whom they have made treat ies, the perpetuation of the fraud where by the constitutional government was overthrown and finally, an act of gros3 injustice to me. Because, the official protests made by i me on the 17th day of January, 1893, to j the so-called provisional government was 1 signed by me and received by said gov ernment by the assurance that the case was referred to the United States of America for arbitration, because that protest and my communications to the United States government immediately thereafter expressly declare that I yield ed my authority to the forces of the Uni ted States, in order to avoid bloodshed and because I recognized the futility of a conflict with so formidable a power. Because the president of the United States, the secretary of state and an en voy commissioned by them reported in official documents that my government was unlawfully coerced by the forces, diplo matic and naval, of the United States, that I was at the date of their investi gations, the constitutional ruler of my people. Because, such decision of the recognized magistrates of the United States was officially communicated to me and to Sanford B. Dole and Dole's resignation requested by Albert S. Willis, the recog nized agent and minister of the govern ment of the United States. Because, neither the above named commission nor the government which sends it has ever received such authority from the registered voters of Hawaii, but derives its assumed powers from the so called committee of public safety, organ ized on or about said 17th day of January, lb'J3, said committee being composed largely of persons claiming American citizenship, and not one single Hawaiian was a member thereof or in any way par ticipated in the demonstration leading to its existence. Because my people, about 40,000 in num ber, have in no way been consulted by those, 3,000 in number, who claim the right to destroy the independence of Hawaii. My people constitute four-fifths of the legally qualified voters of Hawaii, and excluding those imported for the de mands of labor, about the same propor tion of the inhabitants. Because, said treaty ignores not only the civic rights of my people, but further, the hereditary property of their chiefs 6f the four millions of people composing the territory the treaty offers to annex, 1,000,000, or 915.000 acres, has in no way been heretofore reco?;nized as other than the private property of the constitutional monarch, subject to a control in no way differing from other items of a private estate. Because, it Is proposed by said treaty to confiscate said property, technically called the crown lands, those legally en titled thereto either now or in succession receiving no consideration whatever for estates, their titles to which has been al ways undisputed and which is legitimate ly in my name at this date. Because, said treaty ignores not only all professions of perpetual amity and good faith made by the United States in former treaties with the sovereigns rep resenting the Hawaiian people, but all treaties made by those sovereigns with other and friendly powers, and it is there by in violation of international law. Because, by treating with the parties claiming at this time the right to cede said territory of Hawaii, the government of the United States reserves such terri tory from the hands of those whom its own magistrates, legally elected by the people of the United States and In office in 1S93. pronounced fraudulently in power and unconstitutionally ruling Hawaii. Therefore, I, Liliuokalani, of Hawaii, do hereby call upon the president of that nation to whom alone I yielded my prop erty and my authority to withdraw said treaty, (ceding said islands), from fur ther consideration. I ask the honorable senate of the United States to decline to ratify said treaty, and I implore the peo ple of this great and good nation, from whom my ancestors learned the Christian religion, to sustain their representatives in such acts of justice and equality as may be in accord with the principles of their fathers, and to the Almighty ruler of the universe, to him who judgeth righteously, I commit my cause.

PALMER, Witnesses to Signature. ITS FRIENDS IN DOUBX. Annexationists are Not Sure That Action Can be Had at This Session. Washington, June 18. The impression is now prevalent in the senate even by the friends of Hawaiian annexation, that the treaty can not be ratified at the pres ent session if there is any such opposi tion as is promised. The programme now is that the treaty will be reported from the committee and that after the tariff bill has passed it will be called up. The Senate will be asked if a time for a vote can be fixed and upon the objections by the opponents of the treaty, its friends will say they are content to allow it to lie over until the next session. One reason for pressing the treaty in the face of opposition is that the senti ment which may be only partially op posed to the treaty will be crystallized, which is not desirable. It is also believed that senators who are now undecided may become influenced favorably after mature consideration and after finding out what the drift of sentiment is in their states. It is well known that sena tors can not be held here after the tariff bill is passed in the hot weather. FEAR FOR SAMOA. A German Newspaper Thinks We May Want That Next. -Berlin, June 18. The Vossiche Zei tung thinks that the action of the Uni ted States imposes upon Germany and England the necessity of devising meas ures to prevent the adoption of a simi lar policy as to Samoa. The Post, however, expresses the authoritative view held here when it says: "Germany has long regarded Hawaii os within the st here of American inter ests and can scarcely find any pretext either to question the right of the Uni ted States to annex or to interfere by protest or obstruction." London, June 18. The Times corres pondent in Paris, says: "I met a member of the American senate, in high standing, who said to me: 'In one way or another we are bound to take Hawaii. It has, first of ell, the advantage that it can be annex ed without serious difficulty arisingfrom any European power. Therefore, we can satisfy our desire for some sort of annexation without running the risk of serious complications. Moreover, Ha waii is so near America that it is quite out of the question that it should be long to any other power, and its gov ernment is so weak that it could not seriously resist if any other power real ly trid to take it. 'Although not worth much, Hawaii will make an excellent coaling station, and it might prove otherwise useful in our hands. Unless we annex it now, we should expose ourselves to complica tions with the Japanese, who would soon outnumber the Americans in the islands, while now we have to fight no body.' Will Make Us Want More. Paris.. June IS. The Temps, referring to the annexation of Hawaii by the Uni ted States says: "We regard the annex ation of Hawaii less as the result of a careful plan than as an attempt to rele gate to obscurity the dangerous thorny affairs of Cuba. President McKinley evidently Imagines that in throwing to the Chauvinists this bone to pick he will procure a momentary respite. This salcu- lation, too, is probably erroneous because nothing will so contribute to strengthen aggressive Pan-Americanism and whet the appetite for Cuba as the first taste at the expense of little Hawaii." BOMBS FOB GERMANS. The German Ambassador was Near Strasburg When the Explosion Occured. Paris, June 18. The police of this city connect the explosion of a bomb in front of the Strasburg statue with the al leged attempt to assassinate President Faure by the explosion of a bomb in the Bois de Eolougne on Saturday last. An eye witness of the explosion says that he saw a man on a bicycle stop at the foot of Strasburg statue and then ride rapidly away. A reporter of the Soleil declares that at the moment of the explosion he saw Count Von Munstcr-Ledenburg, the German ambassador to France, and Lieutenant Colonel Von Schwartzhop pen, the military attache of the German ambassy, near the Strasbourg statue. MAKES HEKll MOST LAUGH. Bomb Burst Near President Faure He Calls Giant Firecracker. New Tork, June 18. "This is too fun ny for anything," said Herr Most, when asked what he thought of the attempt to take the life of President Faure. "Attempt to assassinate the president of France? Ridiculous. There is abso lutely nothing in that. I understand the situation just as fully as though I had been on the spot myself. "It is just this way: In the first place, let me tell you that there fs noth ing to the story. Absolutely nothing. Don't you understand that it was all a put up job? The anarchists had no more to do with it than you had. I think the president himself was respon sible. Maybe I am mistaken, but I don't think I am far out of the way. President Faure has not had much printed about himself for some time. He saw a great chance to get up a sen sation. He either had that so-called bomb placed there himself, or, if he did not know anything about it, then his friends, the members of his cabinet, were in the plot. They wanted to make the president more popular. They thought it was high time that he should be made a martyr of, and here was the chance. They hired some poor fellow to place this innocent giant firecracker and explode it just as the president drove by in his carriage. Tiiis, of course would arouse the people, and today the president is laughing in his sleeve, no doubt, on account of the big advertis ing scheme he worked for himself.

I The question that was raised through the French ambassador as to the power of the federal government to deny ad mission to the cable will be referred to the attorney general for an opinion, but meantime the executive branch of the government holds to the doctrine that such landing can be only by ex press authorization of congress. MRS. J3ULLER TO STAY. She Expects to Stay in America After Securing a Divorce. Oakland, Cal., June IS. Mrs. Yarde Buller's visit to California was not solely to secure an American divorce from her English husband. "My mother will not return to Eng land," said the oldest son, Lieut. Kirk ham Blair. "Of course she expects to se cure an absolute separation from her hus band. That will give her control of Yarde-Buller's marriage settlement of $49,0CK which the judicial settlement given in England, does not." He added that there were certain amounts due from her father's estate, which it might be necessary to resort to litigation to secure.

Get Strength, Vigor, Clear Complexion and Good Digestion, Not by Pat ent Medicines, But in Na ture's Own Way. Any honest physician will tell you that there is but one way to get increased flesh; all the patent medicines and cod liver oils to the contrary notwithstand ing. Nature has but one way to increase flesh, strength and vigor of mind and body, and that is through the stomach by wholesome food well digested. There is no reason or common sense in any other method whatever. People are thin, run down, nervous, pale and shaky in their nerves, simply be cause their stomachs are weak. They may not think they have dispep sia, but the fact remains that they do not eat enough food or what they eat is not quickly and properly digested as it should be. Dr. Harlamlson says the reason is be cause the stomach lacks certain digestive acids and peptones, and deiicient secre tion of gastric juice. Nature's remedy in such cases is to supply what the weak stomach lacks. There are several good preparations which will do this, but none so readily as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which are designed especially for all stomach trou bles, and which cire all digestive weak ness on the comraon sense plan of fur nishing principles which the stomach lacks. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest tonic known ana will 'cure any for of appetite and increase vigor, added flesh, pure blood, and strength of nerve and muscle is the perfect natural result. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safes ttonic known and will cure any form or stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.

Debs' colonization scheme Which he is just now engaged in putting in motion at Chicago will doubtless be watched with much interest by the rest of the world if it shall once be fairly started. It must appear incredible to be public that the organizer of the "Social Democracy of America" can seriously believe in the success of the enterprise to the extent which his words indicate. Debs has generally been regarded as a level headed man. He has never been considered a dreamer. What he pro poses seems so impossible of fulfillment; bo many movements along similar lines have failed, that it would rot be sur prising if his sincerity should be called in question. He is accustomed to point to the sue- 1 cess of the Mormons in Utah as a prece dent and suggests that what they did can be done again. But, arJparent'y. he overlooks the incentive which im- -!-I the Mormons to their cm so In centive of religious fervor. In all ages people have done dt 's, made sacrifices in the name of relig ion which no other consideration would have prompted. The Mormon laymen were actuated by no motives of a larger liberty or desire to better their mater- lal condition. They simply followed the 1 lead of a priesthood in which they had Implicit faith, unquestioningly and nvith blind obedience. Never, perhaps, was there greater ty- fanny than that practiced by the heads I of the Church of the Latter Day Saints. The followers of the Mormon leaders did not even possess the kind of relig ious enthusiasm which prompted the Pilgrim Fathers to seek the forbidding chores orf Massachusetts. Their minds and hearts were in no swse in what hey did. The leaders were actuated by a desire to perpetuate their power over their followers and the followers were moved by a feeling that they were obeying the will of God and no sacri fice could be too great in such a serv ice. The Debs movement will lack this important clement of success. When members of the organization become dissatisfied, which they are reasonably certain to do, they can leave, and the danger of a break-up will therefore be ever present and an element of weak ness. But the experiment will be no loss to the country and a valuable les son may be learned from it after'all. WHAT "WE" IS SAYING.

Min neapolis Messenger. We overheard a young girl tell an other last Friday evening that she weuld catch on to one of the Topeka tase ball players thac night.

A good man is one who does what is right from principle and from impulse, a. id in a sense he often does more than what is right; he is benevolent and kind beyond what the law requires. While I am cogitating: about this ser mon a man comes in and pays a small debt. It was a debt that I could hard ly have collected by law. especially as I had forgottei. the man's name and lost his address. He knew very well that I would never ask him for it, but he hunted me up and paid it, and un less he should come to borrow a larger sum within a few weeks I shall always think of him as an honest man and say that he did right on principle it didn't seem to be an impulsive act; paying1 debts. I think, seldom is; it seemed to go rather hard with him. Looking out from my window, I see a little girl playing alone in the street. She has marked out her hop-scotch fig ures on the rain-packed clay and is about ready to try her skill, now on one foot, now on two. when a laundry wagon drives up. The driver sees h.?r figure and its design just in time and turns his horse and drives arour 1 it, for he knows that his wheel tracks and horse tracks will spoil her plans. That was an act from impulse, a little wave of kindness that swept across his con sciousness and impelled him to do more than any law would have required of him. I feit like patronizing that laundry. LITTLE CHURCH AROUND THE CORNER. Dr. Houghton, Pastor of the Church. "Contrary to the popular idea, I know very few actors or actresses. I was never in a theater but once in my life. Of course, a great many of these peo ple do visit me, here in the rectory, on various errands, but there is no spe cial record of this sort, and I do not charge rny mind with the details. We are glad to welcome the actors and actresses here, the same as we welcome people of ail classes, but the church is simply a plain Episcopal church. "I was intimately acquainted with Mr. Edwin Booth. He used to come to the church a good deal, and Lester Wallack was also a frequent visitor. I counted these two men as friends and Mr. Jefferson also. I remember many a visit from Mr. Backus, the San Fran cisco minstrel, years agi. He said his wife was going to die, and he asked me if I would attend the funeral. I said I would do better than that. I would see his wife while she yet lived. I called several times and did all that I could for the dying woman. After ward, Mr. Backus came to me to thank me, and he said he wanted to ask me a question: "Doctor, you quoted a passage from the Scriptures one day that made u-p impression on my wife. After you .oft we both hunted for the passay- ii. the Blbie, but could not find it. it was something abut 'Simply to thy cross I cling' I ex plained to him that that was not Scrip ture, but a line from the hymn, 'Rock of Ages.' I had quoted the verse be ginning 'Nothing in my hand I br.ng.' "EX KAYa." Some men are like sponges. They absorb the ideas of others, but never have any of their own. Atchison Champion.

(From the Atchison Globe.) In telling a story, don't label it as funny before you begin to spin it. A law ought to be passed governing the length of amateur theatrical per formances. No man has the right to complain of his environments at this season if there is ice water in it. The parents of an Atchison girl have refused to let her young man come to the house. That settles it: they will get married. We are so young out here in the west that we refer to a servant girl we have kept as long as a year as "an old fam ily servant." If you hear anything good about a man, tell it; be that sort of a gossip. But if you hear anything mean about him, keep it quiet. t We have concluded that the happ:est time in life is when one is of the age that he listers and looks at everything with his mouth as wide open as his eyes. After a girl has spent her second year at a boarding school, she only shakes hands upon her return, remem bering that if she once commences to kiss, she has to go through it 15,000 times. The proof reader at this office has standing orders not to mark any cor rections in Fritz Hafklnkaempers name: to let it go as the compositor sets it for nobody knows how to spell the name correctly. In order to jrive the people a good impression of her husband, an Atchison bride put a way two of her hardsomosl dress patterns to be made after mar riage, when her husband will be given the credit of buying them. Farmers' wives do not work as hard as the women used to work 20 years ago, when the wife of a farmer led such a life of slavery that every far mer wore out at least two women. They now have their wai hing done, employ help when needed, ard take thinjrs in comfort. The women who have died on farms from hard work would turn over in their graves in surprise at learning of the easy time their successors have, if the poor creatures have rested suffi ciently by this time to be able to turn. Whenever a strange girl comes to town and r'des a bicycle, we can tell by the length of her skirt where she came from. Eastern girls dom't mind showing an inch or two of their hosiery, but the Central Branch girls wear their skirts long, and shriek 11 a man looks at their feet. EARLY MAN III AMERICA From May Lippincott's Magazine.! The climate which covered this world was of course, somewhat different from the present. It was colder, and the I precipitation was greater, but the ex istence of certain plants shows that a comparatively temperate ciimate pre i vailed to the south of the ice; yet it I was anomalous. Animals which loved I the cold and those of a torrid land were i curiously mingled. Troops of masto dons wandeid over the land and gorg ed themselves on tne soft twigs of j spruce and fir. The slow, lumbering, wuol'.y rhinoceros wallowed in the muddy streams and lakes. Moose and reindeer ranged the woods; perhaps the In-in story ci the Great White Moose i is a survival transmitted from palaeo- lithic d.iys. when this animal was act ually larger than now.Droves of horses i and oxen roamed the plains; but they i were slain for food, for not yet had man learned the value of beasts of burden. Early man could have set at naught the Ch nese legend that the mammoth belonging to the nether world and died if he breathed the outer air, for only too often he must have met these giants of old, protected from the cold by a I covering of long black hair and thick j red wool. j All th.s time, while the great floods were pouring seaward and gigantic an imals were stalking up and down the land, it is likely that men were living on the banks of our rivers and lakes. Judging from skeletons found in Eur- ope, palaeolithic man was short of stat ure and had a low retreating forehead; it is supp. sed that he had a yellowish sk n. which was covered with coarse hair much like the Ainu of Yezo. He I was strong in body, but he had the diminutive mind of a child. Wild and fierce, he knew little of pity or of love: he was lower in savagery than any we know, but he bore the germs of a better race: he wad only a hunter, living on the animals he had slain and the roots and nuts he ccuid gather. At war with h's ne'g.ibor and at war with himself, his life was racked with fears and tor ments, and his mind filled with debas ing sup rst'tt ns, which civilization has haidiy yet wholly eliminated. j HEROIC NAMES FOR COLLARS. From the New York Sun. When there were few factories, and all of them were in Troy, it seldom oc curred th.it there was a cl?sh as to the use of a trr-d mark. But as the busi ness b ere s d, as factories sprang up at other points, and as the public be came educated to buyirg collars and cv.ffs ty the n me bestow ng upon them in the factor es, it was important that there should be some system. Five or six yea.s sgo, after great minds h"d rn in the same channel in nurne aM' t mes, each time with the re suit that coliars or cuffs of widely dif feicnt d sign and make had the same cr a very similar name, the manufac turers decided to employ a regisrar of trademarks. At that time It was esti m"red thr.te had been 250,000 styles of c l'ar a: cuffs. v.' .-.n cm n'- '-'Sh'o-i V1-' taf? rcreed Ft- i'. i 1' nd i, ti;f list swille.i. Ai: t..est new styles for women could not go unnamed, for o: f'Son woul 1 sur. ly result. The ad Si ion of women's collars and cuffs, therefore, caused an ircrrase of nearly 100,000 in the number of styl s. The registrar's lists fill three bulky volumes and a fourth is nearly half i full. Twenty years ago the names of race horses wer. p pular. The names of ac-to-s were tisd up fast for men's styles. When the ludicrously high collar, which met with h'gii favor during a short life i was in vrgue, the names of mountain pe.- ks were rather pressed into service. The Shasta was one of the loftii st col lars made, and its sale was phenomen al. One manufacturer brought the histo ry of New England into use and his col i l?rs are called Paul Revere, Ethan Al j len, John Alden, etc. For another big concern Cooper's novels provided In dian names until the source was ex hausted. Now the firm not only makes collars, but rnakts names which sound like Indian names to fit them. THE EVIL OF THE GRADED SCHOOL. William J. Shearer in the June Atlan tic Another serious weakness in the pres ent system, is that even the br ghtest cannot gain time, and if any except the brightest are absent but a short period, they are unable to pass to acvanced work, and therefore lose a whole year when they may be only a month or two behin J.Less than one per cent of the pupils of the public schools can successfully skip the work of a whole year. About 35 per cent fail to be promoted. Some claim, that those who fail do better work the fol'owing year, but statistics that I have collected show that the large majority of the pu pils do not return, and few of those who do return do good work. In a vague way everybody knows that there is an amazing loss of pupils' time, yet none but these who have studied the matter carefully o?n show how great the loss is. Statistics, gathered with much la bor and care, show that SO per cent lose from one to four years. For every one hundred pupils in the schools that I myself examined, there had been from 125 to 370 years lost during their course of study. Such loss is Inevitable when ever the tra. her is for ed to forget that the ciass is composed of 50 individuals, and to think only of the fact that all must reach a certain place by a given time. It is not too much to say that on all sides interested parents and thoughtful Fd'icators are dissatisfied wi h the usual system, which cuts short the school period of the majority, and menaces the intellectual life of every boy and girl in the graded schools. HIT AT THE TRAMPS. Men Cannot Sit on the Grass in a Chi cago Park. Chicago, June IS. Ien are being grossly discriminated against by the new West park board. They may not sit or lie upon the green grass In Union, Garfield and other parks on the west side, unless accompanied by mem bers of the other sex or children of their families. The lone young men and weary old bachelors must sit on the hard benches or else hie themselves over the South or North side. The order to this effect was issued by the b-ard th-ee weeks asro.and the pa-k police have been instructed to see that it is rigidly enforced. The original idea was to put a ban on the army of tramps that has been in the habit of using the sod in the parks in lieu of a lodging houso, and to give the women and children the benefit of the grass. In doing this, however.men who are not tramps axa discriminated PEOPLE YOU HEAR OF. The. czar of Russia is said to be very superstitious and has great confidence in relics. The German empress is said to have reduced her weight decidedly by a rig orous course of dieting, but looks pale and much older. Her beautiful fair hair h2s become quite white, and her expression careworn. Chief Justice Fuller said in his ad dress at the centennial celebration in Augusta, Me., Wednesday: "The past terches us that our fathers knew not only how to command but how to obey, and that true freedom flourishes best when self-restrained." Mrs. McKinley, it is said, looks for ward with genuine pleasure to summer in. Washington, preferring hot weather to cold and liking it the better the hot ter it is. The shah is brusque of speech; he is also a magnificent shot and can shoot a hole through a copper coin tossed in the air. He goes off on rough hunting trips and bags big game.

WISCONSIN INSTITUTIONS Being Investigated Serious Charge Aga.nst State Officers. Milwaukee, June 18. A movement is be ing formulated to investigate the manage ment of nine of the principal state insti tutions of Wisconsin on serious charges. Proceedings are already pending against Supt. J. G. Hart of the industrial school for boya at Waukesha, on charges of drunkenness and cruelty and Richard Petherick of the state board of control has been placed in temporary charge -of the institution. Since these proceeding-- began. Lynn S. Pease, one of the attor neys for the prosecution, has received letters demanding an inquiry into other state institutions and it is expected that formal charges will soon be placed in the hands of the board of control. The chief institutions against the management of which complaint is made are the asylum for the insane at Mendota, with about 500 inmates, northern hospital for the in sane at Oshkosh with nearly 6 inmates; state prison at Waupun with about 635 inmates. The number of boys confined in the state school now being investigated is about 300. Undue cruelty, it is under stood, is the principal complaint in each instance'. NOT SPliECK ELS' PLANT. American Coffee Company's Plant in Brooklyn. New York, June 18. The report that Claus Spreckels was to erect a plant for the refining of coffee in Brooklyn in con nection with the American Sugar Refin ing company, which is fighting Arbuckle Bros., is denied. One of the old refineries is being fitted with a coffee-roasting and packing plant by the American Coffee company, which was incorporated some months ago by interests allied to the American Sugar Refining company. Herman Sielcken, the manager of the coffee business of the trust, says: "Our coffee-roasting plant will be ready for operation within three months. The Woolson Spice company of Toledo has doubled its output of pre pared coffee since the Havemeyers began to operate it. Not being able to supply the demand for coffee, the Havemeyers are equipping a plant in Brooklyn."

All Begalar Spring and Summer Weight The weather, like that of the after noon, was sweltering. Hamilton hall seemed like an oven. Not a dozen men retained their coats and the large number of ladies present worked in dustriously with their fans. There were 200 people in the hall when Mar shall's band completed its contribution of music. The fact that all withstood the heat to hear Mr. Berry through was as unusual as it was unexpected, but he made only a 20-minute speech. Senator Berry surprised his hearers last night by calling their attention to the fact that the meeting of the league had celebrated the forty-first anniver sary of the birth of the Republican I arty. "Forty-one years ago today," he said, "the first national Republican platform was framed and John C. Fre mont was nominated for president." Mr. Berry then took up, very briefly, the history of the development of the party; its progress, work and ambitions, saying: "During all the history through which our party has passed it has never made a promise to the people which stands unredeemed." Referring to later incidents in politics, he said: "Illinois has a governor which we would trade for any governor in the United States except the governor of Kansas. We had four years of Alt geld and his foolishness, and we beat him by 140.000. We turned him down, and that's what you ought to do here." "We will!" exclaimed Tom Jackson of Newton. "I'll make a note of that," said Mr. Berry. "Name your figures as to majorities you want," said W. A. Reeder of Lo gan. Continuing, Mr. Berry said: "As I came out through Kansas to day I realized that all of the ravings of these reformers have not stopped and can not stop the growing of corn. Despite all their talk about free silver, the wheat fields are turning golden. It is high time this infernal tomfoolery of Populism should cease in Kansas, if you care to save your reputation. You don't realize the impression this foolishness is creating in the east. It is a shame, a disgrace, that the fair name of Kansas should be bandied about as the home of irresponsible and idiotic reformers. You people the Re publican party of Kansas should rise up in your might and overthrow this power; free yourselves from the con trol of these demagogues; relegate them to some far away spot on earth where they themselves will be com pelled to exist upon the fruits of ruin for which they have-been responsible.

Suits at Vary Low Prices. 3C If the Populists should get down on their knees and pray until Gabriel blows his horn, they could not repair the damage they have done. "I know men who say thev like the people of Kansas and desire to do busi ness with them. They will not invest a dollar in this state, however, until the Republicans are again in the sad dle. "Let the Republicans stand on any platform they ever adopted and they can t lect any man now before the pub lic, without altering a plank. If the Democrats should stand on the plat form four years old they could not elect a constable." The speaker then complimented the state on the magnificent evidences of prosperity on every hand and closed his address. URT WAS SAT WON. His Club Had Failed to Fay its Duej aud Lost a Vote. When it was reported that President Madison would likely attack Leland in his annual address before the Republi can State league convention, the Le land men telegraphed out for their lieu tenants. Colonel Knute Ury of Fart. Scott was the first to arrive, but if a' fight had taken place he would have been unable to offer much assistance, as he was refused a vote in the conven tion. Mr. Ury got up yesterday afternoon and was about to cast two vot?s for the delegates to which the Republican club ,of which he is a members is en titled. "But one certificate has been paid for and you are entitled to but one vote," said Secretary Swayze. "Well, can't I pay and take out an other certificate now?" yelled Ury. "No!" exclaimed President Madison. "I can take my seat then," said Ury. "Hold on," he said. "I have forgotten to vote the one to which I am entitled, and I will cast it for Caldwell." Name Their Own Alternates. The district delegates as well as the delegates at large to the Republican league's national convention have been authorized to name their own alter nates.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 18. 1897. 5 WANTED, A&1USEMEHT. Topefca Swelters Every Night Without a Single Park Or Place of Amusement Within ller Borders. supply of water Is ample. This whole 1 subject reeds agitation and prompt ac tion. When thousands of people are tramping the streets or moping on their- i hot porches In hammocks every night, longing f.ir amusement, some enterpris ing amusement provider ought to jump I at the chance and provide the amuse I ment. It is a chance to make money. CONTRACTS AWARDED. YOUNG MEN, ORGANIZE! Fretty State of Affairs for a City of S5,0;0 People Something Should Be Dons at Once. Topeka Is a city of 35,000 people with out a solitary place of amusement dur ing the summer months. It is.doubtful if there is a town of like size in like condition in the country. On hot summer evenings thousands of suffering people long for a park, a summer garden, a lake or a "cooling off place" of some kind, and long in vain. In the entire area of Topeka and Its environs there is no place for a stranger to sit down except the chairs in front of a hotel. He can't even ride on the street cars, because only three cr four of them are open cars and they cr.iy run short distances. Ten years t.so Topeka had more means of sum-m-r evening enjoyment than she lias r.'AV, poor as they were; t.ien open trol ley cars used to run to Oakland park, which was lighted by electricity and contained places where light refresh ments were served. The present condition of Topeka in regard to summer eening amusements Is little short of a disgrace to a town of the size and pretensions of this one. Kansas City has five parks open every evening, with music and other entertainments for the people of the city. Topeka has not a single one. There is nothing here for anyone to do who may not have a social engage ment which are rare enough in the h t Bummer months but walk about the stivets or sit at his own home, which is perhaps well enough If it were not so monotonous for night after night. Every man likes to take his family and go on an excursion of an hour or two to some pleasant resort where there are oth-.T people, lights, music and cool breezes. Thousands of Topeka people are un fortunate enough to have homes so sit uated that their dooryards are small or their porticoes built on the side of the house which fails to get the pre vailing breezes. These can do noth ing but swelter because no place is provided for them to seek coolness and recreation. A citv owes its Inhabitants a chance for recreation as much as a chance to make a living. It is the duty of the municipality to provide parKS as much as it is to provide electric lights and sowers. Kventually Topeka may have a park of sufficient size and character to meet the needs of Topeka people: but the cryirg demand is for something now next week; not next year or the year after. The Topeka public needs a breathing spot right off; and not for one night in the week, but for every night. The matter ought to be taken up by a company organized for the purpose, and it ought to be run on business principles, not on a philanthropic basis Above all. the resort should be made high to:,ed. In other cities where these parks are conducted they are managed by street car companies, and the parks are made free to the public, the company getting its profit from the fares of those who vtsit the parks. Heretofore when any entertainment is given at Garfield park an ad mission has been charged. This ef fectually keeps down the size of the crowd. It costs a man and his wife 40 cents in car fare and admission tick ets to patronize an entertainment, and if he wishes to take the children it is out of the question. If the street car company had a park to which admission was free and would have an orchestra there every evening or a small band of 10 or 12 pieces and from time to time a magic lantern ex hibition or fireworks or banjo playing, clog dancing or any cheap entertain ment that would cost but a few dol lars, the chances are the attendance nightly would run into the thousands and would pay well. It pays every Etreet car company at Kansas City, St. Joe, Omaha and Denver, and it would pay in Topeka. Residents of Topeka will remember thiit even Dr. Brownfield's "medicine show" on West Sixth street attracted large crowds on the street cars. When people will patronize such trivial af fair as this it shows how hungry they are f. r summer evening entertainment. They would turn out in large numbers to amusements in a respectable place with respectable surroundings. If it is in-, possible to obtain Garfield park this summer for the purposes mention ed, some other grove might be secured and readily converted into a park. The grove at the northwest corner of Au burndale is composed of splendid trees and the ground is covered with fine biut grass. The street car line runs within a few blocks of it and a spur might be run from the main track with out much trouble. There are several other sites for a park which might be better. Such a park should have as many new features as the patronage would Justify. At Garfield park "shooting of the chutes" might be inaugurated. The High Time for the Carnival Revelers to Begin.

Wilson, has been named bv the nresldent as minister to Chile, instead of Dr. W. I Godfrey Hunter, whom most Kentucki- I ans believed was slated for this post, I there has been a deal of speculation j as to what is to become of the doctor. j A correspondent has it from the best possible source that ex-Congressman John Henry Wilson of Barbourville, who was at Frankfort as one of Hun- ter's managers, and who was indicted I with Hunter, Gains and Franks, has induced the doctor to stay in Kentucky and run for governor next election. TEXT DAYS Without Coffee Makes Some Wonder ful Changes. If the new x rays were used to photo Sraph our own individual liver and stom ach, we might be astonished and likely fr.ghtened. If we had been suffering from tha use of coffee or tobacco. Coffee has the same poisonous alkaloids as strych nine, morphine, tobacco and whisky, and Its daily use, even in small quantities. Is the direct cause of that weak dragging feeiing and many troubles of stomach, heart, liver and bowels. Tonics may patch one up for a little time or make one feel a little better. But what man, with even a little plain common sense, but sees that the only way to keep well is to throw over the habit that causes the trouble. Ten days' freedom from coffee and ten Says' use of Posturn Cereal coffee will produce so radical a change towards health and strength, that the facts be come plain to any one. Don't believe it, but try it and Judge for yourself and then wonder why you would daily sub mit to the old physical discomforts week in and week out. leading a most unpleas ant existence, when by a very little at tention to the breakfast beverage, one could be transported back to the bound ing health of boyhood. Postum grain coffee looks like old Mo cha but everyone, children and all, can drink old Postum and digest it without trouble. A Bathing Party Drowns. Greenville, Tex., June 18. Last night while bathing in a pool six miles from this city, Cashier King of the First Na tional bank and Miss Austin of this place, and Ida Soheuek of Sherman, Tex,, were drowned. Mr. King and Miss Austin were together, and, suddenly getting beyond their depth, Mr. King called for help, and Mr. Fred Norswor i tny, with Miss Schenck, went to the j rescue, but both were drowned before j help reached them. Miss Schenck, be coming frightened, followed Mr. Nors worthy, and. jumping on his back.near ly drowned him also. On Bunker HilL. Boston, June 18.

I HALF PRSGE I From now until the Fourth of July every thing in our Millinery Department will go at HALF PRSGE -THE New Modal Supply Store, SIXTH AND t)tl Vl T. The young men who made the carni val feature of last year a success, should hold a meeting at once. The Festival programme has already put their part of the show over until Sat urday, which will greatly cripple it. Friday night is the proper night for the carnival revel. "Queen Lorina's Royal Revelers" should meet without any further delay and get their date set properly. Their part of the festival should be conducted more or less inde pendently of the rest of the week. Like the Karnival Krewe organization at Kansas City, it should be separate and distinct from the main Festival organ ization. Its idea should be comic throughout. This year it should have amusing floats burlesqueing many thirgs in civic and public life. Some able burlesque artist like Will Haskell should be asked to submit a plan for the carnival feature. The young men who so capably man aged the carnival last year should act Ht once. The State Journal will guar antee them the assistance of from 3,000 to 5,000 Topeka young men. Roll High! SPLENDID DESIGNS For the Fall Festival Posters This Year Fall Festival N ws A young lady of beautiful figure, wearing epaulettes, a cai.ieen a- d sol dier coat, with poppies strung about her shoulders and holding in her hand the cap and bells of the court jester, is the design for the Fall Festival window hanger which will soon be printed. The design was submitted by Ad ams Bros, and adopted last night. The designer is Denzler, who has made a reputation for artistic poster work in Chicago, and the hanger will attract attention. A larger and more expensive design was submitted by the Hall Lithograph ing company, in which there was much more detail work. It shows in effective coloring the principal features of the Festival. An effort will be made to se cure this design for a three sheet post er to place on bill boards in the towns over Kansas. Another effective design for a three sheet poster is the work of Paul Tor-1, rington of the city engineer's office. It shows a young woman wearing a hat of monster proportions and with her loose gown being whipped by the wind. In the poster submitted by Mr. Torrington the colors or the Fall Festival red, yellow and white are used. At the next meeting of the Commit tee a design for a bill board poster will probably be adopted. The committee on printing has had the poster matter before it for two months, but the design adopted did not come from that com mittee. It is but three months until Festival week, and the advertising has been sadly neglected. The float question was discussed last night in executive session. The com mittee on finance reported that the Committee is paying more that the floats are worth and the matter was referred back to the committee on finance for adjustment with the float makers, Dudley Josiyn. The firm has a contract with the Committee of Fifteen for five floats and they are already almost done with the second float. There is no disposition to not ac cept the floats, but the Committee does not want to pay more than they are worth. The contract price is $300 each for five floats. Major Anderson offered the following arrangement for the programme of Fes tival week: Monday Labor Day Tuesday.. .State Firemen's Turnament Wednesday Santa Fe Silver Anniversary Thursday Floral Day Friday Soldiers' Day Saturday Carnival Day Capt. C. H. Titus thought that there might be some conflict ketwfen Labor day and Santa Fe day. "The greater part of our Labor day demonstration lat year," said he, "was made by em ployes in the Santa Fe shops and divid ing the two days in this manner may interftre with their plans and make the day a failure." "I am satisfied," said Major Ander son, "that this Santa Fe celebration will be a much bigger thing than any of us anticipate. There will be a rivalry- between the men at the division points that will result in one of the big gest demonstrations ever seen. What ever is done by the Santa Fe shop men in Topeka on Labor day will in no way conflict with the Santa Fe celebration. Thy can turn out In both parades." "Last year." said C. W. Kouns, "an effort was made to run the shops dur ing Festivpl week. I had a talk today with one of the foremen and he said that every time the men heard a band play thev would quit work and run and they had to shut down after trying to run for two days. This year I think that some formal petition will be pre sented requesting permission to close the shops for a week. So I am satis fied that there will be no trouble about the men turning out whenever they care to do so." Major Anderson's arrangement was adocted. The proposition of J. H. Pope to erect gas pipe arches over Kansas avenue was referred to the committee on fin ance. E. J. Dallas, J. W. Bell and George M. Eagle were elected to take charge .of the equestrian feature of Festival week. The question of music was brought up by Cant. Titus. He asked that a vote be taken that all music should be furnished by the committee and all bands be employed by the committee. His motion was adopted. It is proposed this year to employ bands. The com mittee on music has made no report and a request was made that the com mittee submit some plan for furnishing bands during Festival week. Mrs. Sutton's appointment of H. L. Robinson to take charge of the Floral parade as marshal was ratified. FLORAL PARADE FUND.

The club last yeir sffnrd"d matsrial assistance In the Floral parade by preparing the Floral Queen's float, but at a meeting- of the board of dlrec t. rs it was decided this year to render assislf-.nce In the form of a cash sub scription, to which every member of the club will individually contribute. With the subscription of the Topeka club added to the present amount, the fund will sgsregate at least $900. It is believed that several hundred dollars can be raked by house to house solicita tion, and a cons derable amount will re sult from the series of subscription par tie? at the woolen mill. That the plan of house to house solic ltatim is an excellent way of raising money for the Floral parade was dem onstrated by the reports of Mrs. H. L. Fobinson and Mrs. C. F. Cavert, two of the ladies who have been soliciting dur ing the last week, made yesterday aft ernoon. Faikdale constituted Mrs. Robinson's territory, and the territory taken by Mrs. Cavert was that from Tenth street to Sixth street and from Topeka avenue to Folk street. Mrs. Robinson'9 report showed $19 collected and $3.50 subscribed to be collected about July 1. Mrs. Cavert turned over $17 col lected, and subscriptions amounting to $14. 50 which will be p.nid by July 1. Neither of the ladies have completed canvassing tlr territory assigned thorn. Besides Mrs. Robinon snd Mrs.Cavert, five other ladies have been soliciting during the past week who did not re port yesterday afternoon. They are Mrs. 1. S. Woolverton. Mrs. L. D. Reel, Mrs. Carrie Hanley, Mrs. C. E. Puryi ance and Mrs. M. E. Carter. A good report financially Is expected from each of the remaining five ladies, and It is believed that the first week's solicita tion will amount to over $100. When all of the ladies who were ap pointed on the soliciting committee a week ago complete their respective ter ritory and r port to Mrs. Sutton, only a small portion of Topeka will have been canvassed. It is the intention of the ladies who have taken up this work that every lady In Topeka shall be call ed upon and given a chance to contri bute something to the Floral parade fund, and the solicitation will be con tinu d through the summer. Mrs. C. S. Sutton and Mrs. C. S. Ba k'r will also take up the work of solic iting subscriptions next week, and this will increase the number of the solicit ing committee to nine. No forth, r weekly meetin-srs will be held during the warm weather. A call will be issued for special meetings. No Hex can Monte Carlo. Mexico, June 18.

Bud Jackson, another brother, intercepted him and shot him in the back. After Bud Jackson had emptied his revolver. Miss Jackson walked up and fired three more shots into Kilgore, exclaiming: "You coward, you have slandered me long enough."

Pittsburg, June 18. Robert Cook of Boston is in Pittsburg arranging to walk from Pittsburg to Cincinnati on water, a distance of 400 miles. Cook is the inventor of a pair of shoes by which he can walk on water. He claims that with the use of them he can make as good time as a man walking along an asphalt street. While in Chi cago a few days ago this was ques tioned. Cook offered to wager $1,000 that he could walk a distance of 400 miles in 14 days, and do it easily.

Fred Holturn who lives in Berkely denies the story by the sister of Barney Barnato that her brother never played in a circus. Holturn says that he and Barney Bar nato performed together in the same ring in London many years ago. "I first met Isaacs, or Barnato, as he afterwards called himself, while work ing in John Holturn's Royal London circus many years ago. Isaacs and his brother Jake joined the circus at Leeds. My brother John, the "cannon ball king," did an act where he was shot at by a cannon, which I fired. Barnato held the ropes that bound my brother. John would give the order to fire at his head. At the word 'fire,' Barnato was supposed to let loose the ropes so that my brother could catch the cannon ball. "On one occasion young Isaacs, or Barnato, became 'rattled,' and at the signal 'fire,' he did not loosen his hold on the ropes, but tightened instead. The big ball plowed along the top of John's head and left him with an ugly scalp wound. From that moment to this I have never laid eyes upon Barnato and his two brothers. The two Isaacs, as we called them, did not even wait to draw the salary due them, and we nev er neard of Barney again until his Af rican success made him world-famous." REPORTERS NEEDN'T TELL. John S. Shriver of the Kail and Ex press is Acquitted. Washington, June 18 Judge Bradley this morning instructed the jury in the case of John S. Shriver, the correspond ent of the Mail and Express, under trial for alleged contempt of the senate cmrflr trnr in vest iera t ion committee to bring in a verdict of acquittal.

One of the young men pulled off his coat for a pillow, and when he left forgot it, and that article of cloth ing was found there by the neighbors this morning. Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock Will Griffith's horse concluded it was too hot to work, so he ran from the Adams House to the stable at 1221 Van Buren street. When at the Union Pacific park the wagon was upset and the horse continued his journey alone. Fortun ately when the runaway occurred Mr. McKee, the driver, was at the back of the wagon loading it up, and thus es caped the ride as well as the conse quences. The horse was uninjured, but the wagon and harness were badly broken. The Highland home of Mr. and Mrs. H. B.

Al Hayslip, 710 Kansas avenue. j Harry Croft, 410 Kansas avenue. I Gus Kuyler, 525 Kansas avenue. Mike Thompson, 810 Kansas avenue. Al Bates, 401 Kansas avenue. Nick Chiles, 116 East Seventh street. Will Sullivan, south of Chesterfield. Jas. Brown, bartender at 116 East Sixth street. Adam Oelbrech, bartender at 525 Kan sas avenue. Chas. Simmons, bartender at 810 Kansas avenue. This is the record of the police depart ment for last night. All these places were raided,- seven proprietors and three bartenders were arrested. It was a red letter night for the police department. Over thirty kegs of beer, some nearly full, others having little more than a billygoat smell were seized as were numerous pumps, faucets, glasses, etc. All of this was placed in the cold storage room under the city jail. The raids occurred during the time between 7:30 and 10:30 p. m. Sergeant Owen and his officers were kept busy and the wholesale raids caused much excitement and consternation among the sporting fraternity. One man on lower Kansas avenue, who has been doing a small beer business hurriedly moved all his beer out of the back door on hearing of the raids. In all eight places were raided. At 116 East Sixth street, the proprietor, "Conk" Jones, could not be found, but the fix tures were seized and his bartender, Jas. Brown, arrested. The charge against the proprietors was "maintaining a nuisance" in violation of the new city ordinance recently enacted. Against the bartenders, Simmons, Oel brech and Brown, the charge was made of selling intoxicating liquors. Al Hayslip, Harry Croft and Al Bates put up each $100 cash bond and were released. Bonds were signed for Mike Thompson, Nick Chiles and Chas. Simmons. The other four men remained in the city jail all night in default of bonds. In all of the places fully equipped bars were found. Hayslip's place is in the room recently vacated by Geo. Hanley. Hanley still owns the building. Mike Thompson's place was the rooms formerly occupied by Jackson's band. These two places had become notorious and were little else than open saloons. Al Bates, who used to be associated with Hayslip, had recently opened a bar in the basement of the Metropolitan building and was doing a good business. Harry Croft recently moved his billiard tables from the second floor to the first and was run ning a place in the rear which was rather more quiet than the rest. The smell of stale beer which arose from the basement under the Pacific Express office told that a lively business was being done there, and Gus Kuyler, who has been ar rested before, is in jail charged with maintaining a nuisance. Will Sullivan, just south of the Chesterfield hotel was supplying stuff to people on Smoky Row, but his career was short. Nick Chiles, who used to control colored politics in Topeka, runs a colored hotel at 113 East Seventh street. At 116 East Seventh he has a billiard hall and lunch stand, and in the basement a commodious bar has been operated. Chiles used to say that this place was an O. M. B. lodge. These raids, together with the arrest yesterday of John O'Brien, agent for the Ferd Helm Brewing company, and L. Hoffman, agent for the Lemps Brewing company, makes a pretty thorough clean ing up of the city's drinking places. There are about six good big places which were not pulled. The raids were made on warrants issued by Police Judge Atchison based on com plaints signed by different members of the police department. It is understood that the state law which makes the property owner responsible for the pay ment of the jointist's fine, will be tested by the temperance committee. Last year at Lawrence a test case was made of this by County Attorney Mitchell. Judge Ben son sustained the motion of the prosecu tion and it was appealed to the state su preme court. As yet no decision has been handed down by the higher court. The temperance committee has been at work collecting evidence against prohibi tory law violators lately and they say they will see to it that there are some convictions from among the list of last night's raids. They will also try to make the property owners responsible for the sale of the liquor. There are said to be 121 United States government licenses issued for Topeka alone. This includes liquor licenses for Topeka's 33 drug stores, and a few for places where oleomargarine is sold. The rest show the number of people engaged in handling liquors. CURRENCY WILL REST. The President Has Abandoned the Appointment of a Commission. Chicago. June 18. A special to the Times-Herald from Washington, D. C, says: It appears to be well settled that no effort will be made by the president to secure authority for the appointment of a currency commission at this ses sion of congress. Until within a week or so the presi dent had believed that such a measure might be passed in the closing days of congress, while the two houses were in conference on the tariff bill. But he is now advised by the Republican leaders in the senate that it would be useless to present this question. The silver senators, it is said, have decided to oppose any such measure and they could easily bring about considerable delay. Unless some change comes in the situation, the president will be compelled to permit this important matter to go over to next winter. Bathing Near the Bridge. Patrolman Whittaker, who is on duty at the bridge, is making an attempt at stopping the practice of men and boys swimming in the Kansas river near the Kansas avenue bridge. Nearly every day, and especially on Sundays, crowds of men and boys swim in the river near the bridge and within the city limits. They do not wear any bathing suits and complaints have been made on ac count of the practice. Yesterday Pa trolman Whittaker arrested Daniel Lo gan, 21 years of age; Paul Dudley, 16 years, colored, and Ed Johnson, 16 years, colored. This morning in po lice court they were fined $3 each by Judge Atchison. Marshall's Band. Go to Garfield park this evening and hear the open air concert iven by Marshall's band, MANIAC AT THE FEAST. A White Tramp Nearly Breaks Up a Colored Social Function. Last night as the colored church so cial at the corner of Twelfth and Bu chanan streets was at its height, a strange young man with glaring eyes walked into the yard and sat down on a bench near one of the tables. He was a white man about 24 years of age, was dressed in clothes which were somewhat shabby. He carried an old worn overcoat and a bundle wrapped in a newspaper. His hair was long and curly. The people looked inquiringly at the newcomer and one or two talked with him. His eyes had a peculiar light in them and his talk indicated a disor dered brain. The hospitable people thought he looked hungry and they in vited him to have something to eat. The strange visitor ate ravenously what was set before him. His bony hands and sunken cheeks told a story of privation and his eyes and his tongue gave evidence of something wrong. The people questioned him and he broke forth in a wild, incoherent strain, while his eyes bulged from his head and frightened the women. A call was sent to police headquar ters. Sergeant Owen responded. The young man was sitting on the bench among the trees with his arms folded, his head elevated and a look of defiance on his face. When told that he would have to accompany the officer he said: "I am no tramp. See these clothes. I won't run away, for I can meet jus tice. I talked a little religion and sci ence and philosophy to these people and they thought I was crazy. I am pretty well up on those things." He was taken to police headquarters, where he spent the night in jail. This morn ing he was released. He said his name was Frank Logan and that his home was in Buffalo, N. Y. He is harmless. He is going to Colorado. FEARS FOR RIVERA. The Spanish Prosecutor Has Asked for His Death Sentence. New York, June 18. A dispatch to the World from Washington says: A telegram from Senor Palma of the Cuban junta at New York received to night by Secretary Quesada of the pro visional legation reads: "Prosecuting attorney has asked for death sentence on Ruis Rivera and Bacallao." Steps were taken immediately to pre vent, if possible, the summary execu tion of such a sentence. Senator Morgan and other were seen and their services were enlisted. Arrangements were made to have influential senators call upon Secretary Sherman to urge him to r&OUPSt intprfprn.o hir mc .uaui lu government and a direct appeal will be uio-uc LU me prescient. it is expected that Minister Taylor will be instructed to obtain from the Madrid government assurance that the lives of the two in surgent leaders will be spared. The fact that SnanJcH -r;tc.t Lome has authoritatively denied with in a wee tnat it was the intention to execute Rivera and Bacallao increases the indignation felt bv those friendly to Cuba's cause.

The meeting of the Methodist and Presbyterian Minis terial association (colored) here, almost ended in a riot, owing to the Urbana lynching incident. Fully a dozen colored divines of note took part in the argument which was started by Rev. J. W. Gazeway read ing a hot paper on "Lynching." In the discussion one mijiister refer red to crimes committed against color ed women in the south during the war and gloatingly said the white people were now getting paid in their own coin, their sins coming back to them like chickens which always come home to roost. This hot declaration seemed to strike a popular chord in the audience. Rev. W. S. Lowry indorsed the remarks. Bishop C. C. Petty made a short ad dress, in which he said it was high time for the colored man to rise and defend himself. Rev. W. H. Draper got the floor and made an address, saying plain ly that the colored people had the white man to thank for the high position they hold today. This remark caused bedlam to break loose. Dozens of angry divines were on their feet clamoring for recognition. Rev. Mr. Draper held the floor until Presiding Elder W H. Brown walked up to him and shook his fist under his nose. Then the champion of the down trod den white man subsided. LOCAL MENTION. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Winn of 1125 North Topeka avenue are the parents of a girl, born yesterday.

Bishop Che ney, who has just returned from New York, where he has been attending the general council of the Reformed Epis copal church, was asked for his version of the one exciting controversy of the council, which has come to be known as the vestment contest. Bishop Cheney said: "1 wish it to be understood that I favor no particular garment or church vestment, but I am opposed to any particular garment or robe being prescribed. If we are re stricted in what we shall wear, we shall be told what we must sing, or eat for instance. "I was opposed to any restriction be ing put upon our Christian church li brary. A layman of Philadelphia pre cipitated the difficulty by offering a resolution prescribing a black robe, and that only as the clerical dress for church services. "The white surplice and black scarf were decried as Roman Catholic, and the bishops' robes, which I only wear in the discharge of some Episcopal of fice, were denounced. "My resignation of certain chairman ships of committees and trusteeships, the gifts of the general council, does not mean separation from the church. There is no question of secession involved. The svnod of Chicago, which backed me in the position I took of fullest liberty, will not separate from the church, but the result may oe tnat ine sjnuu may feel indifferent about representation in the general council in the future or when it meets three years hence." Hotel Montezuma Opened. Las Vegas, June 18. The Montezuma iotel, which has been closed for a long time, was opened this week.

A Crank Gives a War Dance Among White House Flowers, Washington, June IS. Chas. Hardes ty. 64 years old, of Harrisburg, Pa., went to the White House today to get a permit from the president to kill a few of the Indians who have recently been making trouble in Montana. Ow ing to the absence of the president and Secretary Porter, no one at the White House felt warranted in Issuing a per mit to hunt Indians to Mr. Hardesty, and he left the house, uttering ear splitting war whoops as he went down the walk no doubt as an evidence that his request was made in good faith. As further evidence of his warlike propensities, Hardesty rushed to a flow er bed in the grounds and began to ex ecute a violent war dance on the pretti ly arranged blooming plants. This caused a quick sortie on him by the garrison, and he was hustled off to the nearest police station, where a charge of destroying public property was preferred against him. 5,000 at a Funeral.

Chicago, June 18. Lincoln park was filled with color and movement last night. From near the Grant monument rays of converging light shot into the air. Columns of varicolored water mount ed slowly to the apex of light, then spread and fell, gracefully fading into dim mistiness. It was the first night of the Terke3 fountain, which has for a number of years been one of the chief summer at tractions of the park. For a first night performance it was voted a great suc cess. The crowd was not so large as customary, but it was appreciative.The people came to see It last night on the street cars, on bicycles, in carriages and on foot. From the summit where stands the Grant monument, the broad driveways and the broad lawns they watched it. Never before had the fountain showed to such advantage. This was due to Paul Just, the genius of the fountain. He has spent months in preparation for the season. Through him the foun tain has been fitted with patent shafts which make the lines of illuminating rays almost perfect. The ventilation has been so improved that the men working the fountain are not confined in an oven. Fromptly at 8 o'clock Just shouted to his men: "Ready! All green!" Four men tugged at levers, others turned on 15 calcium lights, a long drawn "ah" came from the waiting crowd, and a dozen columns of green water shot into the air. The feature of the display was what Just calls "the golden rain." It elicited much admiration, and is named from the Swedish flower. It consists of many sprays of golden water thrown into the air in a solid column from the center of the fountain. When the column reach es a height of 50 feet it separates into thin spray and falls to the basin about the fountain in the form of an umbrel la. Several features of great beauty are In contemplation. The chief of these will be pictures thrown upon a sheet of water. Near the fountain a small house has been built and from this the pic tures will be thrown upon the water canvas. Last night Just threw his watery canvas by way of experiment, and the crowd wondered what it meant. A column of water is thrown from the south side of the fountain and toward the lake. From this falls thin sprays which form the canvas. M'KINLEY HAS PROMISED. He Will Attend the Unveiling of the Logan Statue at Chicago. Chicago, June IS.
