Nothing direct from the allies operating beyond Tien Tsin is to hand, but a news agency dispatch from Shanghai today says a battle is ex pected Sunday w ith General Mai's 10,000 Chinese at Yang Tsung. The Russian and French contingents, according to this dispatch are guarding the commun ications of Americans, British and Jap anese who formed the advancing col umn. A dispatch dated at Tien Tsin Friday, July 27, says another dispatch from Pekin, July 21, has been received, duplicating in part one sent by a differ ent route, but adding the military infor mation that the British, American, Rus sian and German legations July 21. had provisions barely sufficient for fourteen days, and that ammuni tion was short. The ministers had again rejected the proposal of the Chi nese government that they leave Pekin under escort of Chinese troops. Another courier from the japan lega tion brings a dispatch dated July 2:1. saying that but five days' provisions were left and twenty-five rounds for each man. The liritish consul, Mr. Frazer, and the foreign community are leaving Chung King, province of Sze Chuen, in consequence of an official warning from Shanghai. There is no trouble In Chung King now or in any part of Sze Chun, but disturbances are expected when the al lies reach Pekin. MESSAGE FROM CONGER. New York, Aug. 4. A message from Minister Conger, dated July 25, has ar rived at Che Foo, says a dispatch to the Herald. 1'nited States Minister Conger Fays that they have provisions and can hold out for six days." Food is growing scarce. It is reported that the cessation of the attacks on the foreigners was by order of an imperial decree. All the Pekin and Sung Chow Ameri cans also the Walkers, Chapins. Smiths, Wycofrs. Hobart. Terry and Alaikay are Fafe in Pekin. All the mission property has been destroyed. T'nder date of July 20. D. E. Robert Coleman. Jr., writes: "I'rder a hag of truce a message was brought yesterday from Chen Yung La asking if Sir Claude MacDonald was willing to conclude a truce. He replied that he was willing, provided the Chi nese came no closer. "Shell, tiring has ceased. We hope this means relief. Having defeated the Chi nese, we are fearing treachery.

Squires, first secretary of the t'nited States legation whose military experi ence and energy are invaluable. Our present danger is treachery." There is every indication that the Chi nese government is awakening to the gravity of the situation. It is endeavor ing to throw the responsibility for th outrages in Pekin and elsewhere on the mob. Through diplomacy :t is seeking to foment international jealousies to pie Vent the advance of troops on Pekin to escape lawful punishment and to patch up a peace.

Humor of the Day. ment that as fighting is going on in Tien Tsin it is inexpedient to send cipher telegrams to the foreign minis ters in Pekin. In this particular the persent telegram agrees with Consul General Goodnow's report received yes terday that Earl Li Hung Chang had told the French consul at Shanghai on the 3rd that, no messages would be de livered to the ministers because the for eigners were advancing on Pekin. The Tsung Li Yamen's cablegram of July 30 is as follows: "Foreign ministers in Pekin are all safe and well. Recently vegetables, fruits and provisions have been repeat edly supplied to them. Relations most friendly. At present consultations are going on for the protection of various ministers going to Tien Tsin for tem porary shelter which will soon be con cluded satisfactorily. But as fighting is going on in Tien Tsin it is inexpedient that cipher telegrams should be sent. Different consuls have been notified so that they may inform their respective governments. Please inform the for eign office. Besides wiring to others ministers I transmit the above to you. "YU LIEN YUEN." RUSSIAN BULLETIN. St. Petersburg, Aug. 4. A dispatch from Shanghai, dated Thursday, Aug. 2, received today, says that after Li Hung Chang left Canton, the imperial trorps joined the boxers. The dispatch adds that the provincial troops along the Yang Tse river remains quiet, owing to the promise of the vice roy of Nankin to the foreign consuls. "Boxers," it is further stated In this dispatch, "are murdering missionaries in south China, but are not disturbing treaty ports. Troops are being secretly brought to treaty ports." Batteries of the Yang Tse river, the dispatch says, are being repaired and new ones are being erected at Wu Sung. Despite the declaration of the viceroy that the work would be stopped, five guns have been mounted. The dispatch accuses the British of a secret understanding with the vice roy in accounting for the indifference of the British fleet to the strengthening of the Chinese forces at Wu Sung. UNEASINESS AT WASHINGTON. Washington, Aug. 4. Taken in con nection with what has preceded them, today's cablegrams from China place the Chinese government in the unique position of denying liability for what the Chinese troops have done at Pekin, while assuming responsibility for what they are now doinr in the neighbor hood of Tien Tsin. That points ought to be made diplomatically is regarded here as of the utmost importance in the Chinese settlement. The Tsung Li Yamen's polite intima tion that it is inexpedient to allow communication between our govern ment and its minister because fighting is going on near Tien Tsin, leaves little doubt as to who is responsible for the resistance being offered to the progress of the international forces. The em peror himself by edict, already has in dicated that, while reparation, might be afforded the powers for injuries sus tained by their citizens before the at tack on the Taku forts, the Chinese government will not assume responsi bility for what has happened or will happen as a result of the military oper ations following that event. Of course this notice from the Tsung Li Y'amen can be construed as an answer to Sec retary Hay's demand upon Li Hung Chang that free communication be opened with the ministers at Pekin and their own governments and in -consequence the negotiations which were about to be instituted had that request been complied with, may be regarded as indefinitely postponed. Meanwhile the Chinese ministers in Europe and Mr. Wu in the United States are still making a last combined effort to make plain to the imperial government the fatuity in the course now being followed by the Tsung Li Yamen, respecting the continued isola tion of the foreign ministers, and it may be that their representations will meet with a favorable response, if not now, then certainly after the first deci sive victory achieved by the interna. tional column.

J. Wr. Breidenthal Will Help Get Town Out of Way. fusionists confer. Democrats More Headquarters to Kansas City. Populists Spend the Night Mak ing Speeches. Mrs. Annie L. Diggs Regrets Political Notoriety. The Populist state central committee has instructed John W. Breidenthal to use his influence to have the name of Charles A. Towne taken from the na tional ticket as a candidate for vice president, the name of Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic nominee, to be substi tuted. This action was taken by the state committee when the matter was pre sented to the meeting by Mr. Breiden thal. The fusion nominee for governor Is the national committeeman for Kansas and as such official was notified by wire last night of the special meeting of the Populist national committee at Chi cago August 9, next Thursday. The notice came from Vice Chairman Edmiston of the national committee and was read to the meeting by Mr. Breid enthal. Immediately the state committee in structed him to go to Chicago and work to get Towne out of the way. The Democratic state central commit tee late Friday afternoon, in a meeting held at the Hotel Throop voted to es tablish the state headquarters at Kan sas City, for the present campaign, dis cussed routine and unimportant matters until the supper hour, then adjourned. The members of the committee then took the Santa Fe fast mail for Kansas City where this morning a meeting will be held to accept the headquarters rooms and campaign donation to be made by Wyandotte county Democrats for the honor of securing the headquar ters. The Populist committee w-orked near ly all night at the favorite pastime of its members, making speeches. Nothing was done towards disposing of the busi ness pending before the committee and at an early hour this morning the com mittee adjourned, meeting again at 8 o'clock to attend to business matters. The Populists believe that the Demo crats did not mean the talk in which they were indulging about taking the headquarters to Kansas City and were much surprised when the committee acted so promptly, the action being taken in a thirty minute session with but one dissenting vote, Frank Thomas of Topeka voting for the capital city. It was then suggested that the Popu list headquarters be taken also to Kan sas City and this proposition received considerable discussion but no action was taken. There was a general discussion of campaign plans by the Populist com mittee last night, the work being done in a sort of a relay system. Some of the committeemen would meet with the others in the hotel par lors; talk a while and then retire, those who might be sitting in the office or hall, enjoying a smoke, taking the vacant places in the committee meeting. In this manner the work was kept go ing until almost breakfast time. The continued discussion of the plan to enlist the women In the campaign with some criticisms attached to the discussions, caused the following signed statement to be made by Mrs. Annie L. Diggs: "if the opposition to Bryan and Breid enthal have nothing weightier to exploit than their funny attempt to create dis cord and division between Kansas Dem ocrats and Populists by charging me with sinister designs upon the Demo cratic party on the line of 'woman suffrage' then our path to certain vic tory is left practically unobstructed. "Fundamental and inevitable as wo man suffrage must be in a purely Dem oratic government, I would be a shallow student of events and an inefficient helper in the ranks did I not know bet ter than to attempt to hamper the po litical situation by any futile attempt to intrude the question of woman's en franchisement. The opposition press is simply furnishing a little amusing by play. The strong and able men of prominence among Kansas Democrats are quite too earnest in their determina tion to present a solid front against im minent imperialism to be diverted by the very apparent attempts to provoke irritation. It must first be determined whether or not we are to have a re public before the allied parties of pa triotism and reform can risk disruption by forced espousal of any save the present all-absorbing Issues of imperial ism and life destroying trusts." The plan to establish the state head quarters of the Democratic campaign commute at Kansas City is for the pur pose of capturing, If possible, the large floating vote in that section of the state. In Wyandotte county alone there is a large number of votes which fluctuate in each campaign and It is the hope of the Democrats to capture it. Incidentally, too, the plan is to help Mason Peters win his campaign against J. D. Bowersock for congress man in the Second district. The vote of Wyandotte county is depended upon to do this and for this reason a spe cial effort will be made to control it. The Populists and Democarta deny, for publication, the statement that they separated the work of the committees owing to the controversy concerning the plan to enlist the women. Private ly some of the Democrats state that it is a foolish move to go to Kansas City, but they did not take kindly to the in fluence which the women seemed to be wielding through Mrs. Diggs. David Overmyer says: "It Is unwise to take the state headquarters of the Democrats away from Topeka. Jerry Simpson said: "These older men act like boys in this matter and the younger fellows act like the old men. WThat's the use of going off down there when Topeka is the most central and most available point?" "This is to be a newspaper cam paign," said Taylor Riddle, "and there will be no local help in Kansas City." Among those attending the confer ence were: John W. Breidenthal of To peka, Judge David Martin of Atchison, ex-Congressman J. D. Botkin of Win fleld, A. M. Harvey of Topeka, George P. Locke of W'ichita, Vernon J. Rose of Newton, Joseph B.

WILL CHANGE HIS NAME Assassin Bresci's Brother's De termination to Do so Causes a Duel. Milan, Aug. 4. Lieutenant Brescl, brother of King Humbert's assassin, has informed the colonel of his regi ment of his intention to leave the army and change his name. He will be pro vided with an appointment in the civil administration. A duel with sabres has been fought between Captain Tani and Captain Bac ciall on the subject of Lieutenant Bresci's course. Captain Tani had ex pressed sympathy with the lieutenant, whereupon Captain Bacciali declared that he could no longer offer his hand to Lieutenant Bresci. Bacciali was wounded in the head during the sixth onslaught. REACH COPPER MINES. Railroads' Project to Connect With Santa Fe in Arizona. Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 4. Several new railroads are projected or in course of construction in this territory. One of the most important projects under con sideration is the extension of the Ari zona Copper company's line, running 72 miles from Clifton to Lordsburg. N. M., to Deming and perhaps to El Paso. An announcement has been made that the construction of a railway from Seligman to Hillside, the seat of mines in northern Arizona, is assured, and that the road may be continued to San Diego, Cal. It is rumored in railway circles here that a new railway is to reach the grand canyon of the Colorado by the extension of the Rio Grande into Utah, thence to Williams, Ariz., and the Grand Canyon. The road would join the Santa Fe at Williams. J. H. Emmert, assistant of the presi dent of the Santa Fe.Prescott Phoenix Railway company, states that a party of surveyors is in the field to survey an extension of the Prescott East ern from Mayer to the Crown King mines in the Bradshaw mountains, a distance of about forty miles.

The thirty-fifth annual report of the secret service divis ion, submitted to Secretary Gage by Chief Wilkie shows 654 arrests during the year, with 218 convictions, 253 pris oners awaiting action of the courts and four fugitives from Justice. Missouri had the largest number of cases, 78. Pennsylvania was second with 63. New York third with 52, Indiana with 51 and Texas with 40.

Ten new counterfeit notes made their appearance during the year, though only five of them were deceptive enough to be considered dangerous, and the makers of all but one of these notes were arrested. Cuba and Porto Rico, which were vis ited by agents of tMe service, were found to be comparatively free from counter feits. SALSON HAS A "PULL."

WOUNDED 41 BRITISH. Lord Lennox and 40 Men Cap tured in a Train. Were Released at Request of American Consul. London, Aug. 4. Lojd Roberts ttle graphs to the war office that General Hunter reports that 3,348 men have sur rendered to him altogether. General Hunter also secured 3,056 horses and three guns. Lord Roberts adds that General Ian Hamilton con tinuing his movement toward Rusten berg, engaged the Boers near theMagali. Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes and Major G. A. Williams were among the 41 Brit ish wounded. The Boers left two dead and several badly wounded. Thursday night a train was derailed and attacked 20 miles south of Kroonstad, four men being killed and three wounded. Lord Algernon Lennox and forty men were made prisoners.but are released at the request of the American consul general, who was in the train. "A Boer force attacked by General Knox near the railway north of Kroon stad Wednesday, August 1, and left five wagons and a lot of cattle. A dispatch from Pretoria, dated Au gust 4, to a news agency here says: "It is reported that General Christian Dewet is dead from a shell wound. The report has not been confirmed." Fouriersberg, Aug. 4. There are 2,500 Boer prisoners at General Hunter's camp and 1,500 prisoners and nine guns at General Ian Hamilton's camp. There were about 5,000 in the Caleden Valley originally, but some refused to acquiesce in Gen. Prinsloo's surrender and slipped away in the night. These have now sent in, asking for terms of surrender. It will take some days to ascertain the exact number. The Boers who excuse themselves for not fighting say they are in a hopeless position. The ravines wrere choked with wagons,which were placed in the most dangerous spots of the roads, which were blocked for twenty miles. SAD DAYS. FOR BOERS. New York, Aug. 4. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: War news from South Africa re mains indecisive, with the general trend in the direction of a speedy close of hos tilities. The muster of General Hunter's prisoners is still incomplete, but it will approach four thousand, without doubt. Lord Kitchener is in charge of the operations against General Dewet's commando, and the Boer diversion at Frederickstad has been easily checked. The seriousness of the investment of General Baden-Powell at Rustenburg is shown by the rapid march of General Hamilton's column for his relief, al though Lord Methuen had previously been reported as having undertaken the same mission. The story of the war is now so badly told in press dispatches that its politi cal sequel excites more interest than the campaign itself. There were two of these episodes in parliament yesterday. One was the spirited reply by the Marquis of Lansdowne to Lord Rose bery's charge that Lord Wolseley had not stood up as an expert to declare that he approved of the plans of the war office, and the other was the reference by Mr. Chamberlain to letters from two members of parliament found among the secret correspondence captured at Bloemfontein. There have been many rumors about this correspondence, and it was expected that there would be a lively scene when Mr. Chamberlain re ferred to it, but the opposition bench was deserted and the Liberals could not be entrapped into any discussion of the matter. W ALES' ASSAILANT. Belgium Explains Why He Was Not Punished. Brussels, Aug. 4. In reply to the note of the British government expressing surprise that the proceedings against Sipido, tne assailant of the Prince of TV'ales, should have had such an utterly inadequate ending, the Belgian government says that, as a strict observer of the laws, it was unable to violate them, however strnog its desire to proceed rigorously against the culprit. According to Belgian law the reply points out Sipido, like any other young man placed at the disposal of the gov ernment and having a legal domicile in Belgium, had three days to appeal to the court of cassation. Living with his parents, he had legal domicile; and, therefore, he could not be arrested for, three days. He profited by the delay to take flight. The Belgian government says it re grets the incident, but can not be held responsible for it. NOBLEMAN MURDERS German Baron Kills an Employe on His Estate. Berlin, Aug. 4. Baron Muench, former ly a member of the reiehstag, has been arrested charged with having murdered an employe on his estate at Muegringen. The prisoner is insane.

Chicago, Aug. 4. The grand Jury to day devoted a true bill against Lloyd J. Smith,' former manager of the Chicago Elevator company and member of the Chicago board of trade, charging him with fraudulent practices in the man agement of the elevators. Six true bills were voted on the specific charge that Smith, while manager of the Chicago Elevator company allowed about 800,000 bushels of grain to be ship ped from the elevators of that company without the proper cancellation of the warehouse receipts,which were hypothe cated. Smith was charged in May of this year of having speculated with the funds of the company for a period of more than two years and of having borrowed funds from a prominent broker on the uncalled warehouse receipts. The net deficit shown on the books of the company was $248,000. The charges against Smith were investigated by a commission appointed by Governor Tanner, which included John J. Mitchell and which has not yet made its report, and by a committee from the board of trade, .which found against Smith. Smith is one of the most prominent members of the Republican state orga nization, besides being of the Lincoln park board. He is a candidate for drain age trustee. FILIPINO TRAP. American Detachment Captured in the Philippines. Washington, Aug. 4. The most serious check which the American troops have met in the Philippines during the past two months is recorded in a dispatch re ceived this morning from General Mac Arthur. It is assumed that the little American command which suffered so se verely was completely trapped, and was obliged to surrender or be exterminated. The message is as follows: Manila, Aug. 4. Adjutant general, Washington: First Lieut. Alstaetter, the corps of engineers U. S. A., with ecort 15 men attacked August 1, road between San Miguel de Mayuma (Luzon and San Istdro) Luzon, by armed band insurgents reported 360 strong. Entire party killed, wounded or captured.

The indications this afternoon are that the deal for the purchase of the Topeka Advocate from T. W. Harrison will fall through. No money has yet been paid and there is not much prospect for the consummation of the deal. One of the interested parties this af ternoon said: "The deal is practically off, because Mr. Harrison, since our first understand ing, has raised the price about $1,000. We will not buy the paper at this advance." The Bayonet will be moved from Wichita next week so the state Populist committee will have an organ, even if the Advocate, deal fails, although the or iginal intention was to consolidate the two papers. The proposition of R. M. Ruggles and E. B. Stotts to start a paper was re ferred by the Populist committee to the sub-committee on printing and literature without action. MAIL FOR CHINA. War Department Tells How Letters Must Be Addressed. Washington, Aug. 4. The war depart ment desires it to be known that mail intended for the United States soldiers in China should be addressed with the full name of the soldier.his company and regiment with the words "China, via San Francisco." In the case of staff of ficers or civilians of the army, the same means "China via San Francisco" should be employed. All the regular China mail routes in that section having been suspended, the government has been obliged to devise a service of its own, using the army transports as far as possible. A postal agent stationed at Nagasaki will make the first distribu tion of these mails and another agent at Taku, will care for the details. These agents have started for China and will be in position to handle any mails writ ten after this date. AFTER THE BRIGHTON CUP. Ethelbert, Sidney Lucas and Imp to Race for It New Tork, Aug. 4. The Brighton cup over the distance of two miles and a quarter will be the feature of the racing at Brighton Beach today.

The date of King Humbert's funeral has been definitely fixed for Thursday next, August 8. "KINGSEVIL." It Apparently Taints All the House of Hanover. Queen Tictoria's Eldest Daugh ter Afflicted With Cancer. HUMBERT IN LONDON. Visited Slums and Anarchist Resorts in 1892. English Metropolis Enjoys De light of Electric Transit. Copyright, 1900, by Associated Press.l London, Aug. 4. The "king's, evil" of George II seemingly taints all the Han over blood. The death of the queen's most accomplished son, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha for he could lead an orchestra, play the violin, catch salmon with a Scotch expert or sail a ship has caused much solemn talk at court about the maladies of other mem bers of the royal house. Notwithstanding the denial issuing from Berlin it is quite certain that Em press Frederick, the queen's eldest and most beloved daughter. Is afflicted with cancer and that great specialists con sider her life a matter of months. Bha is too ill to leave the castle at Frled richshof, near Homburg, for her custo mary summer visit to England. Queen Victoria knowing her desire to possess an English home, gave her the Whita Lodge at Richmond last year. But she will probably never be able to occupy, it. Scotland yard, in averring that Bresci, the assassin of King Humbert was never in England, is understood to allege that the Instigator of the crime is probably a man who made no secret of his inten tions concerning "high Italian person ages" while in London several months ago. He was so closely watched whiia here that he departed and was last heard of in Paterson, N. J. King Humbert during a private visit here in 18a2, took extraordinary inter est in the slums and anarchist haunts where had been planned Orsinl's plot to kill Emperor Napoleon III with a bomb and the czar's assassination.Whila visiting one anarchist resoit his majesty noticed a flaming picture, designed by the proprietor of the place representing an anarchist hurling lawyers, church men, statesmen and capitalists into) hades. The proprietor give the king a copy of -this picture, not knowing who his visitor was. The London editor of an. Italian republican journal, w ho was standing by, suggested to the king's guiae wnai a strong resemoiance nis friend bore to the king of Italy. His majesty also visited at night several of the most wicked resorts in London, in cognito, and accompanied by one com panion. Londoners have been revelling this week in their first experience with mod ern rapid transit as furnished by the new central London electric under ground system "the two-penny tube" as some of the papers call it. Eighty thousand persons have daily learned for the first time that it is no longer neces sary to waste two hours on an omnibus In order to reside five or six miles fromr their place of business. "England never seems to have recover ed from the primitive idea," said an American electrical engineer, "that a railway train is not a stage coach. Theii'., methods in regard to rolling stock con struction have never, till within the past few months, departed one iota from those in voguewhen stages were the only means of transportation. Pullman cars are In use, or at least an English edition of the Pullman, on many roads; but un til last Monday, an electric lighted and electric propelled corridor train, running through porcelain-lined stations, was as great an innovation to the London pub lic as Aladdin's lamp was to the Arab ians." Mr. Albert L. Johnsop. of New Tork, who has built electric railroads all over the United States said o a representa tive of the Associated Pr.ss, before leav ing here for America, a few days ago; "I see no reason why eltotric railways should not be as popular in London as in New York and Chicago. It is evident that many of them must be under ground; .but I see blockades in the streets an hour after the theaters have closed and it seems a shami that these crowds should not be relieve.1. The mod ern electric car can go anywliere in Lon don that a 'bus can. I will guarantee that American constructors could deliv er these great crowds to l'ieir distant homes by electri6 railway hours before they are able to reach them now. Pat rons of the London Centra discovered this week that omnibuses which a week ago 'were packed to their capacity are now running empty. Moreover, house rents at the termini of the linos are in creasing and the public are riding in cars weil lighted and well ventilated for the first time in history." Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt is understood to be in Europe for the purpose of estab lishing a racing stable. He is going to Aix next week. A number of prominent Americans are still in London. American yachts which had been cruising in Norway waters are arriving at Cowes, among them beinir the Norma, with Mrs. Goelet aboard. Eugene Higgins' Varkna and the Al fredo, owned by Joseph E. Widener, will be at Cowes next week. "Sir Thomas Lipton is cruising on board the Erin thereabouts. BRESCI'S ACCOMPLICE. He is Now Believed to Be Shoemaker Niccolini. Monza, Aug. 4. It is now fully believed that the Shoemaker Niccolini of "Bilta" was Bresci's accomplice. Niccolini dis appeared but he telegraphed to Bresci on July 20, announcing his departure "ev erything being ready." Lord Minto Investigates Gold Fields Victoria, B. C. Aug. 4.

SP ECUXATIN O ON BALL Tells How They Turned Hini Down in Chicago. Never Gets Any More DiTidends on II is Stock. Cincinnati, Aug. 4. Adrian C. An son was In the city today on business, as he said, connected with the enlarg ing of his business quarters by securing part of an adjoining building recently occupied by the Blue Kibbon company. The building he wants to lease as well as the one he already occupies Is owned by Uavid Sinton, the aged millionaire of this city, and it was to aee him An son came here. "No, I have never sold the stock down in the Chicago baseball club," he said. "Those up there don't seem to want me to have any considerable bunch of money In hand. They appear to be afraid that I might t-nter the same nsain as opposition. They refused to pay me fur It although It was once worth $1.50 on the dollar. The stock hasn't paid me a cent of dividend for three years, ever since Hart has been at the helm. I don't suppose that it will as long as he is in charge. "After twenty-two years' service they turned me down, and they don't seem to have profited much by so doing. Yes, I wanted to be president of the club, but Spalding answered me 'That wouldn't be easy.' I suppose he meant there was a higher power that would oppose it. The higher power most likely was John R. Walsh, the capitalist. Walsh rules, especially baseball affairs In Chicago, after a. high and mighty fashion. What the national game wants all over the land Is another league to oppose the old organization. Then there would be renewed interest In the game. You don't hear people talking around town nowadays about an exciting race for the baseball trophy. If there were two big leagues, each would have its friends, and Interest would be intense until finally the successful teams of each league had met and settled a real championship. Now, when people talk about baseball they simply hasaxd opinions on what the policy of the league moguls, is to be. As at present, base ball too much like a trust to attain the popularity that is its due. The Chi cago league club suffers I believe, be cause of an opinion very generally held rightfully or wrongfully that the Ameri can league had to pay the National league to get into Chicago, therefore to patronize the new club is Indirectly to aid the old. Each of the present Na tional league cities would well support another club in an opposition league, and should have the chance to do so. "I think Bill Lange would be the man to succeed to the presidency of the Chi cago club, although I don't know that he would accept it. as I had a letter from him at San Francisco the- other day in which he said he was practically running his father-in-law's real estate business and doing well." SHARKEY PICKS M'COT. Says He ia Mora Clever Than Corbett and Hits Like a Pile, Driver New York, Aug. 4. Tom "Sharkey ought to be competent to judge the re spective merits of Jim Corbett and "Kid" McCoy, who are matched to fight on August 30. He has met both men in the ring and knows their styles. The sailor has written a newspaper article In which he says: "I want to say, first, that I am some what prejudiced against Corbett, but I'm not going to let that interfere with my views. They are honestly what I believe, and they can be taken for what they are worth. I hope that Corbett's head will be knocked off "McCoy ought to win, that fight. He will, too, if he is in anything like the shape he was in when he met me. He'll have to do it quick, though; for he will get tired soon. Eight rounds ought to be enough for him to dispose. Of my old enemy. "My reasons for thinking so are thfse: McCoy is a fighter who has two styles. He is as hard a hitter as any man in the business, perhaps. barring VttzSim- mons. His punches are -like the kick of a horse, and I know whatl'm talk ing about, for I got a couple that. made me view a sky full of stars through a roof. He's twice as clever as Corbett and can feint any man out. Those two styles of his show that he is that much better than Corbett. That game of his of waving his hands In front of his face is enough to drive an opponent to des peration, and when he gets him that far he knows it. Then it is that he brings that other game into play, a straight jab at the head with his long left, fol lowed by a right hook. It's like a thun derbolt, and if Corbett can stand it, then he's better than I ever gave him credit for." FIGHTERS TRAIN HARD. Fitzsimmons and .Ruhlin "Working lake Demons to Get in Shape. New York. Aug. 4. If Bob Fitzsim mons defeats Gus Ruhlin In their battle, which takes place at Madison Square Garden August 10. the ex-champion will go after Champion Jeffries with both feet. It is Lanky Bob's one ambition to get on a return match with hla conquer or, and the Cormshman announced to day that he would gladly accept Brady's challenge if he was successful with the Akron giant. Fitzsimmons is still grind ing along at a steady gait down at his training quarters at Bergen Beach. He realizes that the only thing that lies be tween himself and the championship is a victory over Ruhlin. and he is making the effort of hl3 life to get back into his old-time form. FltKsimmons does not consider Ruhlin a cinch, but, nevertheless he is confident that he can defeat his opponent in less than 15 rounds. "I have met harder game than Ruhlin.," he said today, "andi when I meet Sharkey's conqueror next week I will show him that I am not the dead one that he believes me to be. I will stop Ruhlin before we go half the dis tance, and after I dispose of him I will go after Jeffries for a match for th championship." Fitzsimmons is letting, no grass grow under his feet. He has a perfect gym nasium fitted up where he has every thing that could be of -benefit to him while training, and, as he is taking no chances on getting into condition, he keeps grinding away steadily. Bob Armstrong, Sharkey's old sparring partner, is helping Fitzsimmons in the sparring line, and Lio Pardella, the Ital ian champion wrestler, works out daily With the ex-champion. RUHLIN WORKS HARD. The confidence with which Ruhlin looks forward to his meeting with the Cortiishman shows that he has 110 thought of being beaten. He says he whipped a better man than Fitzsimmons when he knocked out Tom Sharkey. Ruhlin says he will show Fitzsimmons that he belongs among the has-beens. Ruhlin's manner of training shows that he is one of the hardest workers in the fighting game, and that he fully re alizes that to defeat Fitzsimmons he will have to be in the best possible con dition. From early morning until late in the afternoon, Ruhlin keeps plugging away at the various exercises which he has selected to get him into shape, and he never seems quite satisfied that he lias accomplished all that he should have done. Billy Madden, his manager, is, however, more than pleased with the way his man is working, and says that when he meets Fitzsimmons he will show the pugilists how quickly a good man can win a fight. Ruhlin tumbles out of bed at 6 o'clock every morning and takes a run to the beach, where he takes his daily plunge in the ocean. After a swim of nearly an hour he gets back to Madden' home and eats his breakfast. After a rest he takes a five or ten mile run over the good roads which abound around Bath Beach and then gets a rub down and starts at his gymnasium work. Then comes his sparring bouts with Charley Goff, which are as interesting to watch as a genuine fight. Ruhlin and Gort mix things in a very earnest man. ner, and the Akron man has a chance to show all the cleverness which he learned from Corbett". Ruhlin, like Fitzsimmons, is confident of a knockout and victory. BIG JIM JEFFRIES To Try His Hand at the French Style of Fighting. New York. Aug. 4. The astute and re sourceful Mr. Brady sprung a new one today. It is nothing short of his Inten tion to take Jeff to Paris and match him against M. Savatte, the French fighter, who kicks and does everything else held illegal by the findings of the far-famed pugilist jurist, the Marquis of Queens berry. They are to secure a French fighter for Jim's assistance, and when he becomes proficient in the art of maiming a la Fancais he will go over to Paree and make ze many un grande screp. The last time Jim went to I'aree there was talk of a desperate affair between the champion and Mile. Fougere, and there was other talk which was not en tirely to his credit or reassuring as to the conduct of his health, but this has about been forgotten, and maybe Jeema is onto their curves by this time. PUGILIST M'KEEVER Will Not Meet Mysterious Billy Smith Jackson Substituted. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 4. Chas. McKeev er will not meet"Mysterious"BiIly Smith at Ietroit August 10.

Johnnr McGraw does not seem to take much stock In the story that he is to be made manager of the St. Louis team and Tebeau relegated to a back; seat. What bothers McGraw more than this is the poor business the league has been doing all along the line. The situation has now become so critical, he says, that the magnates are believed to have quietly made an arrangement among themselves to cut' salaries. There is something doing in baseball, and within a few months not only will the American association rise to plague the league magnates, but some of the most prominent players in the country will be seen in uniforms not worn by them now. The best evidence that real plans are being made lies in the secrecy with which the movement is hedged. Phil Peterson, president of the local companv that will back the enterprise, with McGraw as manager, recently received a mvsterious letter that elated him. This letter was from one of the big men in the movement and gave proof of the progress of the as sociation, that has bolstered up the hopes of the local backers of the plan. BYRNS RESIGNS AT SARATOGA Horsemen Complain of His Work as Starter Caldwell Appointed. Saratoga, N. Y.. Aug. 4. The sensation of the day was the resignation of Matt Byrns from the position of starter and the appointment of J. F, Caldwell to the responsible office. Byrns is training a stable of horses here and could not start when one of his horses was entered. Yesterday's long delays at the post were unjustly charged against him. Neverthe- There is to-day a crying need of a ref ormation in the treatment of the body. The basis of this reformation is to be found in the thesis of Dr. R. V. Pierce Dis eases which originate in the stomach must be cured through the stomach." In the thirty odd years of Dr. Pierce's experience as cmet Consulting physician tkml Hotel and Surgical Institute in Butfalo, N. Y., he has treated more than half a million people( with a record of ninety- eight cures in every hundred. The theory it'i held by Dr. Pierce -V? h v.i.r K-,U ,M Tiff 4 place of -disease, isLt"- STtinCM abundantly borne v.

Men and women af flicted with shortness of breath, heart dis ease, suffocation. diezineSs. soots before the eyes, "liver pains," and similar ailments have been promptly and perfectly cured by the use of ''Golden Medical Discovery."

"Billy" Keeler, the Brooklyn right fielder, who was out of the game for ten days on account of injuries, is back again. In his first return game he seemed to put ginger in the team, and the way the champions slugged Pow ell's pitching was simply awful. If the new Players' Protective asso ciation gets to be the power its prime movers claim it will there's trouble ahead for the National League mag nates, who heretofore have had things all their own way. New York Mail and Express. Weyhing'a release by St. Louis was caused, it is said, by Gus being a ring leader in several escapades of a disrep utable nature which the younger ele ment of the team were drawn into. Since leaving home July 12 Tebeau's team played eleven games and won but three, giving it the miserably low per centage of .273. This Includes the trio of meetings with the Keda at Cincin nati. The New York team has a last test to stand, and if they go through the pres ent week victoriously the Giants will not have to complain of lack of back ing among the audiences for the rest of the season. The work of the Boston team has im proved both at the bat and in the field since returning home. Hamilton leads the team at bat, while Nicholas and Willis have yet to make an error in the field. The last year that Brooklyn played at Jamaica Bay the Cincinnatis knocked out twelve runs in one inning. Thir teen, however, is likely to remain the high tally mark of 1900. St. Louis, papers say that President Robison is liable to turn down either Tebeau or McGraw, Just the way his fancy strikes. Cleveland players have taken up golf to aid the batting eye. After a year off the map the New England League will be revived in 1901. George Magoon is leading the Ameri can League batters, with an average of .378. Charley Nichols suffered a slight strain the last game he pitched in the mud. Boston has lost only five games to western teams on the home grounds. Notwithstanding the Brooklyn chaps are leaders, they are not drawing the crowds to make the game a paying venture, and it is hinted that there will be a change in the league clubs next year. Twelve thousand fans on Sunday crowded the grounds at Chicago to wit ness the game played between the lead ers in the American league race for the pennant and the sensational Bisons. The Brooklyn have not a player with a batting average of one hit out of three times up, and yet some fine hit ters draw salary from the Brooklyn club. Boston's pitching department ia about as uncertain as any in the league. Wil li.! has been a bitter disappointment. Lewis seems to be lost sight of. Cuppy is doing fairly Well.

Wichita Man Says Wife's Af fections Were Alienated By a Friend Who Called at His Home Too Often. WAKTS $5,000 DAMAGES Case Is Complicated by Seeking to Set Divorce Aside. Peculiar Affair Between G. W. Trout and D. S. Beachy. Wichita, Aug. 4. D. S. Beachy, by his attorneys. Dyer Davis, has brought suit in the district court against G. W. Trout, in which he asks for damages amounting to $5,000 for the alleged alienating of the affections of his wife. The petitioner avers that a happy and pleasant home was broken Up and his property almost entirely confiscated, and his happiness blighted, by reason of the defendant coming between hus band and wife. The case is more complicated and made peculiar owing to the fact that in May a decree of divorce was granted to Mrs. Mary E. Beachy from her hus band, D. S. Beachy, giving her alimony and her former name of Mary E. Dear ing. To set aside this decree, a suit was brought in the court yesterday charging that it had been secured by fraud on the part of the person bring ing the suit. The petitioner, Beachy, in his suit against Trout, states that he and Mary E. Dearlng were married in El Dorado in 18S7, and that they had lived happily until in August, 1899. The petitioner further states that he became acquaint ed with the defendant, Trout, in Jan uary, 1899, and that from that time un til June. 1900. he and the 'defendant were on intimate terms as friends; that a number of times the defendant had called at the Beachy home, and on ac count of the acquaintance of the two men, rrout became acquainted with Mrs. Beachy, and that after becoming acquainted with Mrs. Beachy the visits of Trout became more frequent, he com ing both day and night. The plaintiff also avers that the de fendant wrongfully and unlawfully per suaded the mind of the plaintiff's wife against the plaintiff and alienated her affections, by reason of which, on March 22, she left his home, and on May 2 in stituted divorce proceedings in the dia trlct court, charging him with extreme cruelty and gross neglect of duty. The decree was obtained by Mrs. Beachy and her name changed to that of Dear ing. PROGRESS IS VERY SLOW. Constructing Quartermaster Is Dis pleased With Work at Leavenworth. Leavenworth, Aug. 4. "Progress in the construction of the new buildings at Fort Leavenworth is being made very slowly and the work is at least two months behind expectations," said Captain McCarthy, constructing quar termaster, yesterday. "I have submit ted my monthly report on 'Progress on Public Buildings' to the quartermaster general of the army and am quite sure when it reaches the department the contractors will hear something drop. More than a month has passed since the construction began and the very small showing is indeed trivial when considered in connection with the large amount of building under construction. One of the contractors who has eight buildings under contract had but two stone masons at work yesterday and the other two contractors are not any better off. Captain McCarthy is much displeased. He said that the contractors have been notified that any request for extension of time will have to based on other reasons' than mere inability to procure mechanics or material. Both, he said, can be obtained to fill the demand and there is no need for so much unavoid able and uncalled for delay. The cap tain thinks that the sooner the build ings are completed the earlier they will be occupied by troops, as the depart ment will take no steps looking to re organization of the school until there are sufficient buildings to meet the re quirements.

Say an Unbiased Jury is Not to Be Found. FEDERAL PROTECTION. Transfer of Famous Wichita Damage Cases Asked. Arguments Are Being Made Be fore Judge Hook Today. General Attorney M. A. Low and As sistant General Attorney "W". F. Evans of the Rook Island, went to Leavenworth today to argue before Judge Hook a mo tion for the transfer of the famous Wichita damage cases from the district court of Sedgwick county to the federal court. The cases are the remaining three out of five resulting from the frightful accident at the Douglas street crossing of the Rock Island in Wichita two years ago. In the petition for the transfer the Rock Island attorneys declare that pre judice against the company exists to such an extent that it is impossible to secure an unbiased Jury in Sedgwick county or any other county in the state. The three cases involved in the motion were brought by John C. Marshall, ad ministrator of the estate of his wife, killed in the collision, who sues for 110, 000 damages: George McTaggart, wno ask for $15,000 for alleged personal in juries, and C. G. Durrand. who asks the court to allow him damages for being deprived of the services of his wife, who lost her life in the disastrous collision. Neither of these cases have been tried. The two cases already tried were brought by Mr. Durrand, one for per sonal injuries and one for the death of his wife. In the first case he was given judgment in the Sedgwick county court for $17,500 and in the second JlO.OuO. Both cases were appealed to the supreme court by the Rock Island company and are now pending. D. B. ROBINSON GETTING WELL Will Be Two Weak For Active Work For Some Time However. New York. Aug. 4. After the meeting of the directors of the St. Louis San Francisco railway today, at which the regular dividend on the second prefer red stock was declared. President B. F. Yoakum said, in regard, to the business of the road: "The business of our road continues large. Wheat has been harvested and is a good crop. With, favorable weather conditions the corn crop in our terri tory will probably yield between 75 per cent and SO per cent of an average crop. Other crops axe in good shape. The cotton acreage along our lines is larger than last year, and the condi tion at present is better than at this time a year ago. Our new line from Sapulpa. to Sherman, Texas, will be completed about February 1. We are receiving this month eighteen locomo tives and 300 freight care are being de livered. We propose to purchase fifty ballast caa in the near future." The condition of the former president. D. B. Robinson, la said to be somewhat improved. He is still in Chicago. It will be some time before he will be strong enough to take up active busi ness affairs again. BOCK ISLAND NOT IN CONTROL Has Taken No Steps to Secure El Paso Northeastern Road. El Paso, Tex., Aug. 4. President C. B. Eddy of the EI Paso Northeastern railroad, returned today from the coal fields at Capitan, N. M.. and when ask ed if it were true, as reported from Chi cago, that the Rock Island road two months ago secured control of the El Paso Northeastern road, Mr. Eddy said "No one except the original stock holders, those who aided me in build ing the road, have control of the EI Paso Northeastern. It is very prob able, however, that the Rock Island will build from Liberal, Kan., to a con nection with our line at Clayton, N. M., and if such a connection is made the Rock Island and our line wil lenter into a traffic arrangement, ROCK ISLAND'S ADVANCE. Earnings For the Three Months End ing June 30 Show an Increase.

Railroad Issues a Pamphlet Contain ing Much Electoral Information. The Union Pacific railroad has issued a pamphlet containing in compact form information of immense value to all persons Interested in the coming cam paign. The party platforms are given in full, as is also the constitution of the United States. It furnishes election sta tistics and much Information pertaining directly to the voter, such as voting qualifications, naturalization laws, etc. From beginning to end this publication is most interesting and useful. It may be had free of cost. SAVES LIVES AND LIMBS. Equipment of Cars With Automatic Couplers Greatly Beduces Danger. The equipment of all cars with safety appliances marks a great advance in the manner of conducting railroads in a way to afford the greatest degree of safety to the men who have to do the most dangerous class of work connected with the operation of the railroad sys tems of the country. The fact that automatic couplers do save thousands of men yearly from be ing killed or maimed for life is clearly shown by statistics. While one em ploye was killed in every 349 employed by railroad companies in coupling and uncoupling cars in 1S93. in 1897 the number so killed was one in every 647 emploved, and In 1S98 one killed to every 518 employed. The ratio of the Injured to those employed was one In thirteen in 1SS3, one in twenty-five in 1897 and one in. twenty-one in 1898. In 1899 it was found that 199 were killed and 5.339 were injured upon eighty-nine roads, while in 1898 on the same roads 209 were killed and 5,384 were injured. These were injuries to trainmen other than englnemen and firemen. The whole number of employes killed on the railroads in 1897 was 1,693, while 27,667 were injured. When it is considered that In 1897 there were 1,221,730 freight cars, the great expense to the roads in comply ing with the automatic coupler law will be realized. Secretary Prout's Successor. Argentine.Aug. 4 J. Ingalls of Massa chusetts has been selected to succeed Mr. Prout as secretary of the local Y. M. C. A. Mr. Ingalls is a well known worker in religious circles in the east. He is expected to arrive Monday after noon, when he will assume active charge of the local branch. Mr. Prout, the retiring secretary, who has been promoted to the secretaryship of the Topeka institution, will be tendered a reception by the local members on Aug. 15. Low Rates to Chicago, i The Santa Fe announces that it will make a rate from Kansas City, Leaven worth, Atchison and St. Joseph to Chi cago and return Aug. 8 and 15, of one fare plus $2, final limit on tickets Sep tember 30. This Is done to meet the rates announced for these dates by the Chicago Alton to points in Wisconsin and Michigan. The Chicago Alton will meet the rate, as a matter of course and the other roads may be expected to follow. RAILROAD NOTES. The many friends of E. R. McLaugh lin will be pleased to learn that he has been reinstated to his old position as a conductor on this division. "Mack," as he is familiarly known, was one of the most popular men on the Santa Fe and his friends are legion, all of whom were grieved when they learned of his dis charge. Newton Kansan. The working force of the Santa Fe at Arkansas City is scarcely one-tenth of what it was a year ago. From 125 mechanics the force has been cut down to a mere handful. By twos and threes these employes have been sent from Ar kansas City to other points. Every now and then a piece of machinery has been removed from the shops. The result Is that today the Santa Fe division is of little practical value to Arkansas City. Wellington Exchange. Yesterday afternoon and evening the Middle division grievance committee, of the O. R C. met in the reading room at the Santa Fe depot for the purpose of readjusting the seniority of conductors and brakemen of the Middle division. The men from west of Newton were here in full force and the evening ses sion was long and stormy.

JYliss Bertha Fischer, a popular young woman of Appleton, Wis., writes of Peruna as follows "I have found Peruna a wonderful remedy for catarrh of the respiratory organs which I had for several months, and which nothing else I tried seemed to cure. I have taken a couple of dosec since each week during the winter, and 1 1 find it keeps me from contracting any colds, and my general health has (been unusually good this entire winter, due I firmly believe to the healtb I giving qualities of your wonderful remedy." Yours sincerely, Miss Bertha Fischer. Catching cold in the summer is a more j frequent occurrenc e than is most gren-l-rally supposed. Winter is generally (supposed to be the time for colds. But 'cool nights alternating with hot days, FUdden showers following sultry heat, profuse perspiration and cooling draughts, are all peculiar to summer, which causes a multitude of people to catch cold. Mrs. Mary Lawler, of Appleton, Wis., was cured of an annoying summer cold by Peruna.

Summer colds require prompt treat ment. They are always grave, and sometimes dangerous. The promptness and surety with which Peruna acts in these cases has saved many lives.

They are all caused by catarrh of some part of the system. Peruna renovates, strengthens and restores loat vigor to run-down, tired-out women. There afe no substitutes. There is no remedy in existence whose effects are so speedy and sure. Mrs. Anna E. Pry, St. Morris, Ill writes: "I had weakness of the lungs and pelvic trouble. I also had a bad cough, had to expectorate a great deal, and was troubled with a stitching be tween the shoulders. After taking Peiuna for a short time I was relieved of all my pain, and felt better than I had for two years." Mrs. Lena Wiley, Swallowfield, Ky., writes: "Peruna as a family medicine is the best in the world. I had catarrh of the stomach for two years. Did not get better until I began the use of Peruna. I took one bottle. That did me so much good that I got another bottle and felt like a new person. I can now eat any thing I want." Mrs. O. A. Porter, Chalybeate, Miss., writes: "I was so ill last winter that I thought I was near death's door. In fact, I have been very poorly for years until about the middle of last April when my mother came to my house and brought me a bottle of Peruna. She in sisted that I should set aside all my other medicines and take nothing but Peruna, which I did at once. "I would not take the world for what Peruna has done for me. I walked to my mother's yesterday, which la about three miles." Dr. Hartman has written a book es pecially for this class of women, enti tled "Health and Beauty."

Victor Emmanuel Will Imitate His Father ingr Humbert. Monza, Aug. 4. King Victor Emmanuel III has addressed the following proclama tion to the Italian people: "The second king of Italy is dead. Kacaping, thanks to his valor as a sol dier, the danger of battle, and depart ing unharmed, thanks to Providence, from the risks he confronted so cour ageously to end public calaities, the good and virtuous king fell a victim to atrocious crime, while with easy con science and without fear of danger he was participating in the joys of his peo ple in their fetes. "It was not permitted to me to be pres ent at the last breath of my father, but I understand my first duty to to) tol low the counsels he left me and to imi tate the virtues of the king and first citi zen of Italy. "In this moment of profound sadness I have to aid me the strength which comes from the examples of my august father and of the great king who deserves to be called the 'father of his country.' I have also as a support the strength which comes from the love and devotion of the Italian people for the king whom they weep for. "There remain to us the institutions which he loyally preserved and which he attempted to render permanent during the twenty-two years of his reign. These institutions are given to me as the sacred traditions of my house, and the warm love which Italians have for them, pro tected with a firm and energetic hand from assault or any violence, from whatever source it comes, assures me. I am certain of the prosperity and grandeur of the country. It was the glory of my grandfather to have given Italy its unity and independence; it was the glory of my father to have Jealously guarded this unity and this independence to the end. "My reitrn shall be outlined by these imperishable remembrances. May God aid me and may the love of mv ueoDle for tify me, so that I may consecrate all mv cares as a king to the guardianship of liberty and the defense of the monarchy, united by indissoluble bonds for the su preme interest of the country. "Italians! render you tribute of tears and honors to the sacred memorv of Humbert of Savoy! You, in the bitter sorrow wmen nas struck my house, have shown that you consider this sorrow as though it were that of each individual among you. "This solidity of thought and affection will always be the most certain bulwark of my reign and the best guarantee of the unity of the country. Such are mv hopes, such is my ambition as citizen and as king." BRYAS'S SPEECH. It Is Composed of 8,000 Words and Imperialism Is First Discussed Lincoln Neb.. Aug. 4. Mr. Bryan has concluded the writing of his speech to be made at Indianapolis next Wednesday in accepting the democratic nomination for the presidency. The speech is about 8,000 words in length. He has adhered to his original intention of devoting the document al most entirely to the question of impe rialism. In following this course he pur sues the general plan adopted in of giving especial attention in his notifica tion speech to the subject made para mount by the Democratic platform. For this reason the policy of the government with reference to the acquisition of for eign territory will be given the place of prominence which was alloted to the financial question in 1SS"?, the other sub ject being left to be dealt with in the letter of acceptance, to be given out later. The remarks upon this subject are based upon the administration's conduct of af fairs in the Philippine archipelago. It is now Mr. Bryan's intention to re main in Chicafro for several days, pos sibly a week, after the Indianapolis meet ing, the entire time to be given to con ferences with leaders of ail the forces supporting him. Vice Chairman Edmiston. of the na tional Populist committee, today issued a call to the executive committee of that party to meet in Chicago on the dav fol lowing the Indianapolis meeting. Mr. Ed miston declined to state the purpose of this matter, but there is little doubt that its principal object is to confer with Mr. Bryan and other leaders, possibiy with a View of deciding what course shall be pursued with reference to Mr. Towns's candidacy for the vice presidency. c5 4 IN HOTEL C0KR1D0BS. "So many stories have been told con cerning Arkansas and the peculiarities of the inhabitants that it is seldom a new one is beard," remarked a gen tleman who had recently returned from that state while discussing" his trip with a friend at the National. "However, a man occasionally meets with a new one even it he is well posted on stones. A friend of mine. Pink Rice, of Fort Scott, who traveled through that coun try, told me an experience he had on one of his trips. Rice and another man left the railroad at a point east of Fort Smith and started to drive to an in land town which they were told was about fifty miles distant. Neither of the men was acquainted with, the country and, as is usually the case, they lost their way. The country was scarcely settled and it was almost noon before they saw a farm house to which they immediately drove for the purpose or inquiring- the way. To their great disappointment they found th'j house deserted, the occupants evidently hav ing all gone to town, at least that was the conclusion the travelers came to. The only thing they could do was, to keep to the road until they should find another house or meet some one who could direct them to their destination. They soon came to another dwelling, but found no one at home. This was the case with all the places they saw, and they decided that there must be a fair or circus in some of the towns that was attracting al the farmers. They were getting very much discouraged when, on driving over a hill, their hopes were raised by the sight of another house. As they approached they saw that the yard was filled with people and that a great many horses were hitched to the fence and treeB in front of the house. It was evidently the funeral of some prominent citizen and the entire population had gathered to pay their last tribute of respect. As they drove up to the house they saw that their surmises were incorrect. Their curi osity was aroused, so Mr. Rice alighted and mixing with the crowd attempted to see for himself what was the cause of the meeting. He could discover nothing" that seemed to him to be un usual and. after looking around for a while, asked one of the men what was the cause of the gathering. The man grinned at him and said in the peculiar drawl the natives all have: "Don't you know, mister?' Rice assured him that he knew nothing about it, but was anx ious to learn. 'Well, mister,' the cracker said, 'Higgins' boy is eighteen years old today an' Higgins ast us neighbors to come over and help kitch him an' put clothes on him." "We hear a great deal about the large amount of money that has been given to charitable institutions of all kinds during the past few years," said a gen tleman at the Copeland who has had some experience in charity work in St. Louis, "but I believe that the most of it is handled in a wasteful manner or at least is not expended in the way in which it will do most good. I believe that all charitable institutions should be under the direction of the city, coun ty or state. If this was done the people who are anxious to contribute to char ity could put their money in the hands of the proper omcers and a great deal more good would come of it than does by building a lot of small hospitals. Under our present system the destitute sick are frequently sent from one town to another, each town simply trying to shift the burden on to the next with out any thought of the discomfort or danger of the sick man. If the money annually given to charity was properly handled this would not occur. True we have county poor farms, but with that all effort to care for the sick stops in so far as the city, county or state is con cerned. There should be three or four state hospitals for there is not a county poor farm in Kansas In which the sick can be or are properly taken care of. Not only are the conditions bad but the capacity of the farm is limited. In larger towns, cities of the first class, the city should maintain a hospital; not a two roomed affair, but one large enough to care for fifty or a hundred patients. It would pay as an investment because many people would go there who are able to pay for their treatment, provid ing it was a good place and, without question, it should and would be. A system could be established whereby the destitute sick could be properly cared for without being shipped around the country until they are taken in at some free hospital under no one's par ticular care, and where they will be turned out before they are half cured in order to make room for a new patient. We have become accustomed to look to the churches to establish hospitals for the poor. Why not look to the churches to build insane asylums and peniten tiaries and maintain them? It would be just as reasonable. There is not in Kansas today good free accommodation in hospitals and poor fawns for one hundred peoph? I mean places where they could get even fair treatment and attention. Our humane officers and so cieties do all they can but they are given small means and no authority. There are more deaths in the state, ten to one, caused by neglect, than are caused by whisky, directly or indirectly. I will venture the statement, without fear of contradiction, that there are more than fifty cases of sickness in this city today that are not receiving proper care because the patients can not pay for it. Sudden bursts of charity do little good; there should be a permanent establishment for their care because there will always be many deserving poor who will need it." "I saw a pathetic case in Memphis last week that is in point with what I have been saying." he continued. "An aged negro, destitute, decrepit, half naked and helpless from disease was found lying by the side of a road by a policeman who reported the case to the station. The police captain notified the hospital authorities who sent the am bulance out for the man. Upon exam ination the doctor pronounced the man in the last stages of consumption, and the rules of the hospital forbade his being taken In, so- the ambulance drove away and left him. For five or six hours the old negro remained there alone and neglected. The police captain. learning that he had been left, sent out and had him taken to the station. They did not have proper accommodations, but it was better than leaving the poor old fellow lying on the ground and they did the best they could to make him comfortable. No hospital in the city would receive him and I do not know how he was finally cared for. The police can tell you of many such in stances in any city because they are applied to almost daily for aid. How ever, it is not this class, strange pau pers, who would receive the most bene fit from the municipal or state hospital, it is the people who live in your own city whom you meet every day; men who live by the day's labor and when sickness comes have no money to buy necessaries or to pay for proper medical aid." Good Medicine For Children. "Through the months of June and July our baby was teething and took a run ning off of the bowels and sickness of the stomach," says O. P. M. Holliday, of Deming, Ind. "His bowels would move from five to eight times a day. I had a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic.

Insane Woman Who Thinks She is Mr. Stanley's SIster-in-Law. A woman who is evidently demented was found by Officer Parcels Friday evening about 8 o'clock picking sun flowers in a patch near the Standard Oil company tanks. She was taken to the station and kept over night and this mornina was removed to the county Jail. She is a good looking woman, well dressed, except for the large num ber of beads she wears, and is intelli gent. She gave her name as Jennie Wright and said that her father lived near Wichita, and that she is a sister-in-law of Governor Stanley. This morning she told Mrs. Thorpe that she had been adjudged insane in Denver, but could not give any rational account of herself since then. She came here from McFarland, she said, because peo ple there considered her odd, and she noticed that the people here seemed to have the same impression. "All I want is to be left alone; I don't enjoy talk ing to people," was about the burden of her talk. The authorities are doing all they can to learn who she is and where she came from. She had money and Judg ing from her appearance and language, belongs to the better class of people. Mrs. Stanley has no sisters, bo it Is evident that the woman is under an hallucination.

Formed Today. Today was the date set for the second meeting of the Association of Kansas Dailies In this city, but only four members were present at the appointed hour of the meeting this afternoon. It was proposed to perfect a permanent organization and carry out a prearranged programme, but the small attendance and the fact that only one of the members having papers to read was present made this Impossible. Secretary Mack, of Newton, said that the meeting would be postponed and called at a later date. He said the membership was gradually increasing. The objects of the association are well stated in the call for the meeting, as fol lows; "The success of the Kansas Associated Dallies is up to you. If you can not taka enough interest in this organization to attend its meetings, you can not expect others to work for you. This organiza tion is to advance our interests; its suc cess means dollars in the pockets of every newspaper man in Kansas, big and little. Kansas is today practically without news paper legislation, and never will have any if we do not work together for it." COME BY THOUSANDS. Startling Increase in Immigra tion to United States.

Pokes Fan at the Proposed Anti-Fusion Bill. IS LIKE IltONQUILL. May Flee the State For Fear of Obnoxious Laws. Suggests Some Pointers to the Senatorial Candidate. Jerry Simpson I3 much interested in the proposal of J. R. Burton to have a law making fusion a penal offense and is seriously thinking of selling his ranch and moving. "If Kansas wasn't the best state In the Union, I would get out of the state, pro vided the deal for the sale of my place goes through," said Mr. Simpson to a Journal reporter at the National hotel last night. "But if I sell I can't leave Kansas and I will simply go out about Lakin, or in the western part of the state, where I can get more land. "Seriously speaking," said Simpson, "this plan of Burton's Interests me. I have been guilty of advocating some fu sion tactics to lick the common enemy of mankind in Kansas and 1 would be ilable to imprisonment under the pro visions of the law which he proposes. "I would of course be willing to un dergo a sacrifice for my opinions but I would regret being compelled to wear a striped uniform and associate constantly with men of the Burton stripe during; my confinement in prison. "I am in favor of the Burton prison law against fusion that is if the present order of things does not please Burton. "I favor the plan and would suggest that the law contain the following pro visions: "P'irst Prohibiting candidates for United States senator from riding on railroad passes. "Second Prohibiting candidates for senator from riding on Pullman passes. "Third Requiring candidates for sen ator to pay regular prices at railroad eating houses and to prevent such can didates from having free eating house permits or even reduced rate permits. "I would also favor the enactment of a. general law prohibiting candidates for senator or for any other office in any and all parties, from borrowing money at banks on personal notes. I would sug gest that the candidates for office in all parties be required by law to pay their own campaign expense and not be de pendent upon their friends. "If Mr. Burton proposes to stop fusion why does he not interest his party in an effort to stop the fusion of forces In the Chinese insurrection. The forces in China are fusing at an astonishing rate and I presume Mr. Burton would not ad mit for a moment that his balm for po litical wounds would not be a first rate policy for the nations to adopt."

Suit was filed in the United States ch' cuit c,ourt Friday by the Continental National bank of St. Louis against the Alma National bank for the recovery of t3.0S4.50. The plaintiff states in the petition that K. J. Buckingham gave three notes to F. G. Willard on April 27, 1S99. two for $20, 000 each and one for J17.6S0, all the notes being payable in the Merchants National bank of Topeka. Mr. Willard sold the notes, which were secured by a first mortgage on 4,406 head of cattle, to the Continental National bank of St. Louis. Buckingham, who had charge of the cat tle, sold 250 head for J9.054.50, took checks for the payment and placed them in the Alma National bank for collection; ex plaining that the cattle were mortgaged and that as soon as the money was col lected he wished it turned over to the Continental National bank in part pay ment of the mortgage. The plaintiff says that although re peated efforts have been made to secure the collection, the Alma bank still holds the money making the excuse that it did not know the cattle were mortgaged. The plaintiff claims that the officers of the Alma bank were notified of the fact and asks that they be compelled to pav the amount of the claim with interest from November 11. 1S99.

Sugar importa tions at the port of New York for the first month of the fiscal year ending July 31 were 16,500,000. Assistant Appraiser Nathan, of the sugar division at the ap praiser's stores said last night: 'This shows an increase tn the neighborhood of S2, 000.000 over the previous year. It is probably on account of the prices of the.refined product in this country. The importations of refined sugars from Hol land and Russia have increased greatly, the reason being, I think, the suspension by the government of the bonification tax paid by the Russian government. Foreign refined sugars can now be sold in this market below the cost of the present price of the domestic refined su gar." WAS NOT B0GARDUS. Had Nothing to Do With Kick Chiles' Arrest. C H.

A Pioneer Resident of Rawlins County Given Special Preferment. Atwood, Kan., Aug. 4. An incident in Masonic history took place in this city Wednesday evening that seems worthy of special mention. "W. J. Mikesell, one of the pioneer settlers of Rawlins county, who lacks only a few months of being 7 years of age, was raised to the degree of Master Mason, by Atwood Lodge No. 164, of this city. The raising was done upon the re quest of Fairvlew lodge No. 194, of Monroe, Iowa, which lodge conferred the Entered Apprentice and Fellow craft degrees upon Mr. Mikesell in 1870, nearly thirty years ago. On account of a paralytic stroke after the conferring of the second degree, he had until re cent years felt unable to finish the work. Mr. Mikesell is numbered among the pioneer home-builders of the west, having settled In Iowa in 1842, and in 1852 crossed the plains to Cali fornia by ox team with the many thousands who went west to seek their fortunes in the land of the setting sun. In 1856 he removed from California and In 1879 settled in Rawlins county, where he has spent the last twenty-one years in carving out a home. There may have been similar instances in the Masonic history, but none here, have heard of one like this. ENGLISH ANARCHISTS. Scotland Yard Detectives Are Plan ning a Move Against Them.

GIRL ANARCHIST. She Loses Her Place in the Paragon Mills. New York, Aug. 4. Word was re ceived from Paterson last night that Miss Ernestina Cravello, the girl an archist, had lost her place in the Para gon mills. When she failed to appear for work on Thursday it was seen that she had left a piece of eilk on the loom unfinished. To do this is a violation of a rule which is followed by dismissal. Miss Cravello called at the mills Fri day to go back to her loom but she was told she had lost her place. She said that she had been kept busy for two days with her mail. The letters came from all parts of the country. Some praise her, but more denounce her in strong terms. TWO MEN KILLED, Election in Tennessee is a Bloody One. Sneedvllle, Tenn., Aug. 4.

Rob erts, director of the mint, speaking to day of the probable modification of the present estimate of the stock of gold in the country, said: "Some modification of the present estimate doubtless was made as the re sult of an extended inquiry that is be ing made by this bureau and by Mr. Muhleman of the New York sub-treasury. The original basis of the treasury estimate is a computation made by Dr. Linderman, director of the mint, in 1873. Gold was then at a premium and not In general circulation. He took the amount in the treasury and in national banks and added $20,000,000 for circula tion on the Pacific coast and $10,000,000 for the holdings other banks and boards, in all J135.000.000. "To this has been added each year the .coinage and the imports of domestic coiri and subtracted the recoinage, the exports and an estimated sum for con sumption In the arts. "The gold In the treasury and in the national banks comprise the only part of the stock that can be actually count ed. At the date of the last reported statement by the national banks, April 20, 1900, their holdings were $195,7611,872. The treasury holdings May 1 were $426, 989,371, the two Items aggregating $522, 759,243. The estimate for May 1 was $1,043,525,117, which left $420,000,000 to be accounted for as held by state and private banks, trust companies and in safes, pockets and boards. This is the sum subject to modification. "Reductions do not alter the figures for the great increase in our stock in recent years, but rather emphasizes it, for the additions are made larger in proportion to the total stock. The esti mate of the stock on August 1 was $1, 053,158,892, and if the entire $100,000,000 was deducted the stock would remain 60 per cent above what it was four years ago. Casualties in China.

FALL OF A JUDGE. Frisco Attorney Charged "With At tempted Burglary. San Francisco. Aug. 4. Conrad Mose'r, a lawyer of this city who was at one time judge of the Eighth district circuit court of Wisconsin, was arrested early this morning in the residence of A Ber nard on the charge of attempting to commit burglary. Moser claimed that he was looking for a friend and had enter ed the wrong house. As there was no evidence of an attempt at burglary the charge was dismissed and a complaint was sworn out charging him with dis turbing the peace. Moser formerly lived In Alma, Wis. He was for four years judge of the cir cuit court for the Eighth district of Wisconsin from 1865 to 1869; afterward judge of the probate court and later member of the Wisconsin legislature.

Marshall's band concert at Garfield park tomorrow afternoon, 3 p. m. i STRIKE IS IMMINENT. Motormen and Conductors on Brook lyn Car System Grow Restless. New York, Aug. 4. It is announced that the motormen and conductors of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system are restive and have submitted a complaint to President Rossiter. The gist of the complaint is put in the following words by one of the leaders: "The company pays less for 'trippers' or 'swing runs' than it does for straight runs and the tables are now arranged Rd that instead of working a day through, it is made in two parts. We are not allowed to go home In the mean time, but must wait around the station in case we are wanted. "The tables prove that men are wait ing for sixteen and sometimes more hours in order to get In seven or eight hours work. I was not in the last strike. I worked through it and there are a. lot more like me, but there will not be a single man who will stay next time if we are forced to make that kind of a fight for our lives." The demands are in brief: All straight runs of ten hours' work to pay $2. More straight runs and not so many swings. Thirty cents per hour for overtime. Men on extra crews to get $1.50 per day for any day he goes to work and loses his place on the working list. That men shall not be compelled to work 12 and 16 hours on Sunday and holidays except in rare cases. MEET AUGUST 16. Kansas Exposition Association To Make Pians. F. D. Cobum, chairman of the board of directors for the Kansas Exposition association today issued a call for a meeting of the directors in Topeka at 9:30 a. m., Thursday, August 16. Accompanying these notices was a re quest for a meeting of the committee on bylaws Thursday forenoon, the day pre ceding the general meeting of the direc tors. This committee will at that meet ing prepare a report to be made to the directors. i t The association has received a. copy of the bylaws of the Omaha exposition and it is probable these regulations will be adopted for the government of the Kansas association. Mr. Coburn was elected president hut declined to serve. He is now acting chairman and the board will select a president for the association at the com ing meeting. John E. Frost of Topeka will probably be elected. He is the only man mentioned for the place at this time. OYER 2000 HEARD. Large Audience at Garfield Park Last Night There were over 2,000 paid admissions to Garfield park last night. The casino was filled and several hundred people heard the concert from buggies ranged along the sides. The crowd was the largest present at a Garfield park at traction since the Passion Play pictures two years ago. The programme of the concert was well arranged. After the opening march by the band, Signora Stetzler, an Amer ican girl who has made a study of Ital ian opera for several years, was heard in the waltz song, "The Glee Maiden" from the "Red Hussax." Miss Stetzler has a sweet soprano voice, much more pleasing than that of Mme. Barduccl, who followed her with a solo in Italian. As an encore Mme. Barducci made the mistake of attempting "Because" In English, with the result that the audience did not extend her a second encore. Signor Badaracco was heard in the second part of the programme in a solo from Verdi's "Rigoletto." His powerful tenor voice, which was appreciated by the small audience that heard "II Trov atore" last season, won for him a double encore. He responded with the "Drink ing Song" from "Cavalleria Rusticana." A portion of "Cavalleria Rusticana" was put on as the concluding number of the programme. It served to display the voices of Signor Badaracco and Sig nora Stetzler to good advantage and emphasize the fact that Mme. Barducci should stick to Italian opera. The programme as arranged was as follows: March "Olympia" Marshall "The Glee Maiden" (waltz from "Red Hussar" Signora Stetzler Selection from II Trovatore Verdi "Tra la la" Tostl Signora Barducci. Waltz "Italian Nights" Tobanl March "Miss Jollity" Chilvers "LaDonnaeMobile," from "Rigoletto" Verdi Signor Badaracco. Scene from Cavalleria Rusticana Mascagni CAST.

All grocers 15c and S5C feATTLE SUNDAY. (Continued from First Page.) Tsin and the outer world are still sur rounded with mystery the progress of the international column toward Pekin. The state department officials have nothing from their own agencies bear ing on the movements of the columns and while the war department has heard recently from General Chaffee, the officials will not make public his dispatch and refuse to say whether or not they themselves know that the movement has begun. It is known that the Chinese government is in the way to quickly take advantage of any In formation that may be published re specting the international column, and it is deemed bad strategy to afford the Chinese any assistance of this kind. There are signs that al lis not well with General Chaffee and that he Is meeting with greater difficulties than had been expected in getting his troops debarked and ready for the start to ward Pekin. But the war department has given him unlimited power in the matter of financial resources and also is doing all it can to help him from this end. There is a renewal of the rumor that something is occurring at Shanghai Kwan at the eastern end of the great wall which will surprise the Chinese. There is a fine military road from this point to Pekin over high and dry ground and although the distance is nearly twice that from Tien Tsin to Pekin, its physical advantage make this route practically much shorter in point of time. It is believed here that a strong Russian column, either has been or will be landed at that point to converge on Pekin simultaneously with the international column and thus di vide the Chinese opposing force. PREPARING FOR WAR. Uncle Sam Will Rush Six Months Provisions to Taku Before Winter. New Tork, Aug. 4. Preparations be ing made by the war and navy depart ments to facilitate the operations of the American forces in China, not only in the advance against Pekin but also for a winter campaign, indicate that the administration while hoping that a condition of avowed war may be avoid ed, intends to be prepared for it, says a Washington special to the Herald. In anticipation of the northern part of the Gulf of Chi Li freezing in No vember, Quartermaster General Lud ington is making a strenuous effort to land at least six months' supplies at Taku. At this moment Nagasaki is the base of operations but this base must be transferred to Taku, which can be reached by land. General Ludington Is arranging for the transportation of 27,000 tons of fuel to Taku. Thousands of small campaign stoves have been sent to that point. Heavy winter cloth ing has also gone. The transports will be withdrawn before the gulf freezes and additional supplies sent to the troops must go via Che Foo. Brigadier General Weston, commis sary general of subsistence, is also pre paring to dispatch six months' supplies to Taku. The Hancock, which recently sailed for China, carrying 973 men and twenty-six officers, conveyed sixty days' rations for these troops and this supply will be greatly augmented. Gen eral Weston has in contemplation the simplification of the commissary sup plies sent to Taku. He has called at tention to the inadvisability of send ing canned oysters, lobsters, mush rooms, peaches, pears, sardines, etc., to China, and If his wishes are carried out the supplies will be limited to whole some rations of the army, with- a few extras for sale to the officers and men desiring to purchase them. This is a list of the articles selected at random from that detailing the supplies car ried by the Hancock: Bacon, 21,9i5 pounds; corned beef, canned, 2,700 pounds; flour, 118,900 pounds; hard bread. 28,7000 pounds; beans, 5,400 pounds; rice, 600 pounds; hominy, 500 pounds: potatoes, fresh, 7,700 pounds; potatoes, desiccated, 1,700 pounds; pota toes, sliced, 1,700 pounds; onions, 2,000 pounds; milk, canned, 7,800 pounds: macaroni. 1,700 pounds; sugar, 5,200 pounds; butter. 1,000 pounds; corn in cans, 4,000 pounds; tomatoes, canned, 12.000 pounds. In addition to these articles were ap ples, apricots, cheese, chocolate, crabs, prunes, preserves, jellies, olives, pick les, etc. General Weston holds that in view of the difficulties in the way of prompt transportation, it is inadvisable to send so many articles w-hieh are sold to offi cers and men and he favors limiting the number of articles as much as pos sible. PIGG MUST PAY. Can No Longer Avoid Fine for Fast Driving. Ranson Pigg was taken to Jail on a commitment and was released upon a new bond being given. Some time ago Pigg was arrested for fast driving and was fined $3 in the police court, but the decision did not suit him so he appealed the case to the district court where he was fined $10 and costs, making the en tire amount about $25. He was taken to the jail on a commitment but was re leased with the understanding that the fine was to be paid by August 1. The fine was not paid and yesterday he was again taken in charge and again re leased with the understanding that the fine is to be paid within five days. Bond fof $50 was furnished. THREE CASES YELLOW JACK Health Officer Reports on Situation at Tampa. j Washington, Aug. 4.

Last night as Officer Miller was going over his beat he saw a negro carrying a bundle and called to him to stop. The negro started to run and proved to be a sprinter. Miller fired his pistol and the negro dropped the bundle and disap peared in the darkness. The bundle proved to be a blanket in which were wrapped a dozen spring chickens Just at the frying age.

Chicago, Aug. 4. WHEAT Large ex port engagements yesterday still made their influence felt at the opening In wheat today. September started c higher, at 75c. Besides the export engagements buyers were encwuraged by an extremely bullish crop report. But the weather continued favorable, and liberal country acceptances were reported and soon after the opening the market be gan to sag on selling principally bv yes terday's buyers. There was little outside interest and the moderate local liquida tion after September had. declined to 76(fE14c, trading apparently was almost entirely in the hands of scalpers who were satisfied with a small turn, and a small amount of buying later sent the September price back to 75c. North west receipts were 22? cars, against 217 last week and 240 a year ago. Chicago re ceipts were 176 cars, 29 of contract grade. For the remainder of the short session the market did not change materially. Primary receipts were large again today, and this with the weakness in provisions discouraged bull activity. September sold down to 74 and closed at 75. CORN Corn was fairly active and Arm. Receipts were small, and local traders were inclined to favor the buying side. Receipts were 285 cars. September opened He lower at 36'3c, and advanced to 37e. Kansas reported too much hot, dry weather, and sent some complaints of damage. Offerings were scare and the cash busi ness was restricted. September eased off to 37c and closed at that price. OATS Oat were quiet but firm, partly. In sympathy-v-ith corn. Receipts were liberal, 478 caiV, but spring houses were good buyers. September opened un changed at 21c and advanced to 21e. PROVISIONS Provisions were weak and lower. Yellow fever was still upper most in the minds of traders, and little support was given. September pork opened unchanged at $12.06 and declined to $11.87; September ribs opened a shade lower at $7.10 and declined to $7.00. BARLEY Cash, 34Q44e. TIMOTHY October, $3.30(S3.37i.

WHEAT The absence of Liverpool cables and lack of speculation resulted in extreme dullness in the wheat pit. Northwest receipts were light, only 227 cars. Kansas City reported 554 cars, but it has all been spoken for. There were 96 boat loads worked yesterday and a good line today, but the total amount at this time has not been confirmed. The talent have been waiting for wheat to get down to a working basis and now that It has we believe it is a safe purchase, espe cially on soft spots. We do not see any material decline in sight and believe the chances are all In favor of the buyer. Weare and Armour sold a. little Septem ber wheat, and Gifford was reported as a fair seller. Mitchell was a good buyer for pool account. Bradstreet's weekly exports wheat and flour, as wheat, were over three and a quarter millions, and on passage showed a decrease of 1,350,000. Cash demand is improving. We look for better markets Monday. CORN Corn was strong and advanced half a cent for September, closing with part of the advance lost- Receipts are light and shipments liberal. Cash mar kets are strong at all market centers, and a good many inquiries for prompt shipments. Corn has many strong friends who are buying on this break. There are some indications of rain between now and Monday, but if it does not come and hot weather continues prices will no doubt work to a higher range. OAT'S Oats were quiet and featureless, hardly enough trade to make a market. PROVISIONS There were.17.0OJ hogs at the yards and market steady. The yel low fever scare in Florida, however, caused heavy selling of September Prk by local longs and the trade- in general. A big short Interest is said to exist in, September pork, and if this is a fact tne yellow fever scare will Mot affect prices adversely. The best ppsted provision traders are buying pork on jjgg New Tork Money Market NewVork, Aug. 4.

New Tork Uptown Gossip. New York, Aug. 4. Possibly the 'most Important news of the day did not coma out yeaterday until very near the close of business. It consisted of the anounce ment eminent bankers in this country would co-operate with the Bank of Eng land in receiving subscriptions for the new issue of ten million British excheque three vear 3- per cent bonds. The loan is made by 'the British- government to cover war expenses in South-Africa and China. It is put out In a form and at a rate which bankers here consider very at. tractive. In fact it will probably be found that if there is not a heavy oversubscrip tion both here and in London, the under writers of this issue will take up very gladly the British investment. The pub lic is relieved to a considerable extent because the government borrowings are in temporary forms instead of more per manent form of consols. That to an ex tent should be of benefit to the market abroad while the fact that American bankers are readily willing to lend money to Great Britain is a demonstration of our financial strength and of the confi dence of our leading financiers in tha world's future lying beyond the next few months of possible disturbance and doubt. The managers of the railroads of the United States have long been pursuing a policy of conservatism which strengthens the security of all present interest and dividend payments. The effect of this is seen in the tenacity with which stocks are held in the face of adverse news and in the ability which local pools possess in running up prices on the short inter est.

Chicago: Wheat on passage, decrease 1,350.000 bu.; corn, decrease 440.000 bu. Chicago: Commission houses are all bullish on wheat for a long pull. They are advising purchases on declines of half a cent or so from present quotations. Chicago: There is a good short interest In September pork. Packers are good buy ers at the decline. Yellow fever scare will not affect the market adversely, but on the other hand if the crowd gets short a good line the market will not break, but advance on short covering.

Chicago Board of Trade Takes a New Tack. Chicago. Aur. 4. The board of trade will vote today on a resolution which members of the board will force out of existence all bucket shops. The resolu tion provides for the posting of grain quotations at set intervals, probably of not less than five minutes, instead of giving continuous quotations. It is ex plained that quotations not oftener than five minutes would b absolutely valueless to the bucket shop3. While this would work hardship on legitimate brokers, the board takes the position that it would hurt the bucket shops far more. It is believed, too, that the cus tomers of the bucket shops would be forced to throw their business to legiti mate brokers. President Warren addressed the board at a meeting at which more than 300 prominent members were pres ent. He touched upon the crusade against bucket shops and then explain ed the object of the resolution which he presented asking the members of the board to support the administration in its undertakings.. ASTOR IS DISGUSTED. Offers His Paper for Sale and May Leave England. New York, Aug. 4. Concerning the present social status of William Waldorf Astor in England, the London corre spondent of the World cables that it is frankly admitted at Clyveden, Mr. Astors yilla on the Thames, that he will tenant it this autumn, as has been his custom, but will go over to the con tinent for a year at least. His magazine property, the Pall Mall Gazette, is on the market, too, and the brokers say it can be had at a very reasonable figure much less than the outlay already made upon it. If Mr. Astor quits England for good, as many say he must, he will be in a queer position. Though an American by birth he has foresworn his allegiance and is now a naturalized British sub ject. If he leaves England he will prac tically be a man without a country. though with many millions. ANTI-IMPERIALISTS. Prospects for the Indianapolis Con vention Are Good. New York, Aug. 4.

Many school teachers, at the end of their year's work, feel thoroughly ex hausted and worn out, physically and mentally. The demand upon the nerves end brain of a teacher is unusual and unless they are well fed and fed upon properly selected food, it is natural that they should run down. A little woman teacher at Gobleville, Mich., who has been teaching regularly for a number of years, has always found herself thoroughly exhausted at the end of the session, until within the last year, she has made use of Grape Nuts Food with the result that she closed the year as a robust, Itealthy, strong, vigorous woman, having gained in weight from 90 pounds to 126; her nerves strong, face bright and cheery, and really a wonder to all her friends, who constantly comment on her color and strength. She knows exactly to what the change is attributed, for in the years past, living on ordinary food, she has almost broken down before the school year closed, whereas since using Grape-Nuts, this change has been brought about: evidence prima facie of the value of Grape-Nuts Food for re building the brain and nerve centers.

His Name is Arch Davenport, Second-Hand Dealer. HAS MANY VISITORS. Topeka Humorists Found Him More Than a Match. Some of the Stories He Tells Curiosity Lovers. There lives in the city of Fort Scott a man who should be given a place in Kansas' Hall of Fame when one is erected. He is known as "Arch" Daven port but whether his name is Archibald or something else no one has ever in quired. Arch Davenport has a second-hand and curio store in. the business portion of Fort Seott. He Is slightly above the average in height, wears a No. 8 hat ami his hands might easily be mistaken for hams, llis place is a pilgrimage for visitors, for aside from the rurius to be Been the man himself is a natural curi osity excelling his rarest blunderbuss or his most prized coin. Davenport is a Republican and served in the city council where he was the a? of that body but was defeated f-ir imominaliun by the Republicans. He however, had the satisfaction of seeing his next friend, Tim Noonin, win the place from the man who turned him down at the primary. He is an excellent story teller and a ready wit and a visitor seldom leaves his place without being made the victim of some of his J. ikes. He never smiles when telling- a story and his manner is so earnest that the most unreasonable stories are some times taken seriously. Here is a story Davenport told to Capt. J. Waters during the recent Fort Scott convention. Capt. Waters visited Davenport s place with a friend and his eye was attracted by a very large ritle with a barrel about six feet long and weighing about 20 pounds. The weapon is so heavy that it is with diffi culty that a man can hold it in a posi tion to fire. "That gun." said Davenport hv way of explanation, belonged to Little Bessie Stivers who was the champion wing ehot of this state. She killed more prairie chickens on the wing with that rifle than any of the men around here could with shotguns. She shot from the hip entirely and she was only 12 years old and weighed about 70 pounds. "One day she was hunting chickens upon Mill Creek on Mr. Johnson s farm Mr. Johnson had a very fine bull, im ported, for which he paid from J00 to Jl.oOO (I have heard it both wavs and can not say positively.) At anv rate the bull saw Bessie and started after her She could have killed him easilv but did not want to do that for her father was a poor man and could not afford to pav for the animal. g,j she ran to the bank of the creek and jumped upon a log and seeing that the burl did not intend to stop she raised this rifle to her shoul der and pointed it toward the ground and hied and the gun kicked her across the creek and that is how she escaped. Davenport's manner was so serious that Capt. Water inquired: "Did that really happen or are you joking'" Two minutes afterward Capt. Waters pokes' V'ctlm cf one of Davenport's Ions snake skin in one of the show 639 yds Plain Colors In lawns bought to sell at 10c the price now is 64 s 6 Pieces Wash Silk.

DavenDort has many stories about Noonin which he used to tell before Xoonin left Fort Scott and occasional ly he will still tell one. In front of his place of business hangs a large alligator skin. If any one asks any questions about it Davenport tells this story: "After Xoonin decided to be a can didate for councilman in the Third ward he bought a sick alligator from a show. He put the reptile in Buck Run and then hired some little negro girls to go into the water ta hunt shells. Well, this alligator got hold of one of the children and started off and Xoo nin rushed into a barn near there and got a shotgun, which was loaded with buckshot, and he killed the alligator and rescued the child. Noonin was at once christened "The Hero of Buck Run.' He captured the colored vote and was elected, but he never was able to explain how he happened to have that gun loaded with buckshot where he could put his hand on it." Xoonin eloped with a young woman named Baker and when the Burton Baker controversy came up in the con test for legislative nominees in Bour bon county, Davenport allied himself with the Burton forces. Some of his friends inquired why he was not on the other side. "Well," said Davenport, in his most serious manner, "I don't know Burton and I know very little about Baker, but the Baker faction is re sponsible for the exile of my friend Tim Xoonin, and I am against him." An old fashioned high-wheel bicycle hangs in front of Davenport's place and he says that It is the wheel upon which Colonel John H. Rice, formerly owner of the Fort Scott Monitor, came to Kansas. In one of the show windows Is a per fect specimen of petrification in the form of a woman. "The reason I know this is the body of a woman petrified," said Davenport, "is because when two or three mice got into the window I distinctly noticed the boly move as if it were trying to get away from the mice." Tom MoNeal and Joe Waters both visited Davenport and while they are BOXERS' LATEST VICTIMS!

"Is there a delegate to this conven tion from Greeley county," asked Dav enport of one of the Populist delegates. Upon being told that Greeley county was represented he explained that he had gone to Greeley county to get rich many years ago. "Please bring the Greeley county del egate around here," said he. "I want to see what kind of a man can live in that God forsaken country." Arch Davenport sometimes writes poetry. There seems to be something in the air of Fort Scott that inspires the muse, but he frankly acknowledges that he is not a poet. His rhymes are all musical and interesting, but they lack the dash and vigor that charac terizes his story telling. He introduced his successor, Tim Noonin, to the city council in rhyme, but It Is his boast that none of his poetical effusions were ever published. Davenport's curio collected is really creditable. He probably owns the finest collection of ancient and modern pistols in the state and also has an ex cellent collection of guns. None of these are for sale. He would rather cut off one of his monstrous hands than part with any of his curios. RIVER AND HARBOR TOUR. House Committeemen to Inspect the Lakes and the Mississippi. Washington, Aug. 4.

ARRESTED FOR LOITERING. Charles Specht, Socialist Candidate For Congress, in Trouble. Dayton, O., Aug. 4. Charles Specht, the Socialistic congressional nominee from the Twelfth district of Missouri, who was selected at the Socialistic Democratic convention held at St. Louis, was arrested in this city, charged with loitering. Specht is a representative of the International Union of Cigarmakers, and has been in this city for several weeks assisting the local cigarmakers' union, which has been striking. For some time great crowds have been congregating in the vicinity of the non union factories. On Monday evening quite a number were taken into custody by the police, and last night another raid was made on Herman street. Ten men and nine women were arrested and all taken to the station house on a charge of loitering. Among those ar rested last night were Specht and a man named Theis. All gave bond and will be tried Monday. Eleven others were arrested at night. Specht made good his escape, but four of his associates were arrested the second time. NO POLITICAL MACHINES. Chanler Says Day of Great Influence of Individual Is Fast. New York, Aug. 4. "The man who condemns the machine as such in American politics really insults the in telligence of our people. This is the conclusion of Representa tive William Astor Chanler, writing in the Saturday Evening Post on "The Young Man and the State." Mr. Chanler sees in the coming gen eration of young men "a real democ racy; a state in which all the people will govern, where the intelligent will of all the people will be supreme." Mr. Chanler believes that the day or the great influence of the individual has passed. He further says: "The strong man, dominating nis party with the hand of iron, is a fig ment of the excited imaginations or those who cry out against machine methods. In reality, he is not the tyrant leader that he is depicted; in fact, he is the man who is in closest touch with the will of the people. It is onlv when he arrogates to himself a -wisdom greater than that of the people and starts upon an independent course of action that this fact is brought out." Pointing out the differing interests or widely separated sections, Mr. Chanler makes a plea for that compromise which he declares to be necessary, "not compromise with principles, but com promise with issues."

The United States commission to the Five Civilized Tribes has at last reached the land of the real full bloods in the Cherokee Na tion. The commission is now located" at Bunch, I. T., a small flag station on the Kansas City Southern railroad be tween Stilwell and Sallisaw. I. T. The commission will move on to Salli saw today, where it will begin the her culean task of making a roll of Freed men citizens of the Cherokee Nation along with the other rolls now in pre paration. When the commission left Stilwell, I. T., a great number of half blooil Cherokees, who were unable to gain ad mittance at Stilwell on account of the pressing crowd, followed to Hunch and presented themselves for enrollment.' It took two days to enroll these people, and as soon as they were enrolled the commission was ready to enroll full bloods who reside near Bunch, but few responded to the notices. In fact. It was given out from full blood head quarters that this class of citizens in that vicinity did not care to enroll. The commission is now engaged in en rolling a few scattering full bloods who come in and make application. NO LOVE FOR YEARS. Pastor Startled His Flock by Confes sing Conjugal XJnhappines.

THE GO VERNE tENTAL SYSTEM OF CHINA "H't WHO exercises government by means of his virtue," says the Chinese proverb, "may be .compared to the north polar star w hich keeps its place, and all the stars turn toward it." "There are three things of which the superior inan stands in awe. He stands in awe of the ordinances of heaven, he .stands in awe of great men, he stands in ave of the words of sages." These" Confucian maxims, like many other excellent precepts of the great Chinese teacher, are, it is feared, more honored In the breach than in the ob servant "It Is' assumed, for instance, -that "he who exercises government by means of his virtue" is personified in the emperor, whomsoever he maybe that for the moment sits- upon, the .'Mtagoni straight from heaven inspired by the gods. He is the "unequaled being," the "isolated, solitary man," set apart from the beginning of time for the pe culiar mission he is to perform. None must approach him but with self abase ment and none speak of him but with reverence. His person is sacred, he never appears in public unless accom panied by a large bodyguard, and his retinue of a thousand courtiers. consists mainly of eunuchs pledged to defend him with their lives. The emperor is the apex of the gov ernmental pyramid, a structure strong ly based, not withstanding some have insinuated that it is something like a pyramid reversed unstable and inse cure. Like many a monarch, however, be is more a figurehead than- a real to carry out a routine that has existed for centuries, there is a cabinet consist ing of. the four chief chancellors or man darins of the empire, two of them Mantchoos and two Chinese. As the dominant dynasty is Mantchoo, how ever, having ruled the Chinese for two centuries and a half, the former have a veto on the latter. It may be noticed in passing, though, that while nominal ly the conquerors of China, the ilant- of history; the sequence of govern mental authority is carried from the emperor, as nominal head, through the high mandarins who form his intimate cabinet. Under this cabinet and con trolled by it i3 the department of the six boards the board of civil service, "li-pu:" of revenue, "hu-pu;" board of rites, which has charge of the imperial household and court affairs, 'li-pu;" war, "ping-pu;" justice, "hing-pu," and AftAfcblASt:! N f? .it,' iw j pis in far'-' VCif-;.-.i5 mm Thg gpgaa Kg7ogwiws misSwas9s. ment was created and called the tsung-li-yamen, or foreign office, which holds a similar position to the American department of state and the Eritish foreign office in Downing street. This department has dealings directly with other nations and has been used as a kind of intermediary between them and the emperor, relieving him of the responsibility for disagreeable performances and acting as an interna tional arbiter in affairs of importance. It is composed of the heads of the high er boards and has been presided over by such distinguished men as Prince Ching and Prince Tuan, who have come into prominence of late as leaders of rival armies. These are the bureaucratic officials of high class who have their headquarters in Peking and who are dependent mainly upon the emperor or who ever acts in the imperial capacity for favor. There are rumors of late that the imperial authority has been usurped by the empress dowager Tsi An, the ambitious relict of Emperor Kwang Hsu's immediate predecessor. But whoever reigns the bureaucracy will remain the same. It has outlasted the rebellions and plottings of more than two centuries, and wiil probably continue till the end of the chapter. The Sometimes there Is but one viceroy to two or three provinces, but each prov ince has its governor, under whom is an assistant staff of mandarins, besides a chief justice, literary chancellor, pro vincial treasurer and military comman dant. Under all these, again, there is a host of "intendants" or magistrates, 1,800 in number, with swarms of para sites and hangers on in general. The governmental system -of China has well been called the most stupen dous bureaucracy in existence, which without doubt it is. It can be seen by the above that while the system is only loosely held together by dependence up on the central authority, yet there is the strongest kind of control exercised over the officials by a system of espion age and counterchecks of opposing in terests. To recapitulate: First, there are the gods above who manifest their desires to the emperor, through whom they are promulgated to his cabinet, thence to the various boards and de partments, to the viceroys, governors, mandarins, intendants, local justices, tax ollectors, police, constables and the riffraff of officialdom. Thus Is the whole empire honeycombed by corrup tion, and the mandarins, of whom there are many thousands, have been declar ed the very worst curse ever inflicted rc i. r" 1, I -cini It I h I UMiMW Hi v- M MM MM f "Mi""'"'fTw v-n n x yi.p J 1 1 power, but is probably as much a fac- I 1"'- v x x 'Kffi, tor in government as any imperial au- I rt4Myvv x i vv ."0 v V 'n'xS-O vs :5s3fiVy "jC-"9ss-. 1 "T jj -U f 1 'L.

Lady Churchill has a son who is by several years the senior of Lieutenant West. She was formerly Miss Jerome of New York. Her first husband was the brilliant but somewhat erratic Lord Randolph Churchill, brother of. the late and uncle of the present Duke of Marlborough. Lieutenant West is a member of one of the proudest families in Kngland, whose women have for generations been noted for their beauty. NOTABLE SCENES IN THE FLOWERY KINGDOM. choos have themselves been conquered in a sense, for the language of the Tar tars is only by a state fiction that of the sovereign and his court, the written and colloquial Chinese being universal throughout the country. The Ming dynasty, which was finally overthrown by the Tartars in 1644, is still preserved in glorious memory, its traditions, and particularly its tombs, revered, the latter being held so sa cred that it was recently proposed by the consuls of the powers to threaten them with destruction unless the Chi nese government should suppress the rebellion, as a measure of protection. The great highway, lined with stone tatues of camels, elephants, etc., lead ing to the magnificent tombs of the de parted Mings is one of the wonders of the world, and would probably be left intact even should the sepulchers them selves be destroyed. Relics of the former dynasty also are to be seen all over China, and a not able monument to the scientific attain ments of the ancient people is that wonderful astronomical obseravtory close to the city walls of Peking. It was founded long before the first Tar tar conquest by Kubla Khan in 1279 and possessed quaint instruments, which are still preserved, but received a great impulse in or about 1670, at the be ginning of the present dynasty, when the zodiacal globe, astrolabes and other antiquated paraphernalia were set up by a Jesuit missionary, one of them be ing a gift from the then reigning king of France. No longer valuable as sci entific accessories, these objects are yet considered the most beautiful bronzes in the world, after their centuries of "weathering" on the crumbling walls of the observatory. Returning to the theme of this article after this brief digression in the field public works, "kung-pu." Each de partment has two presidents and four vice presidents., equally divided be tween Chinese and Mantchoos, and with control over a host of subordinates.. In addition to these boards there are two other high departments of this wheel within a wheel system; each ex tremely important in its own sphere and wielding vast influence. The first is that called the ''tu-cha-yuen" all examining court a sort of smelling committee or secret service corps of detectives appointed to spy out all that is going on in the country. It is partic ularly commissioned to find out all in trigues aarainst the lawful aothorityi and its members and their subordinates have full power to arrest any and all who incur suspicion of plotting the overthrow of the existing government. This "board of censors," so long as it continues loyal to th emperor, is tn binding chain or cohesiv force that keeps this loose aggregate of fflcial doru together and holds it attached to the throne. It Is very powerful, and in one sense cart act aa protector of the people if its members- so ehooe, being the only approach to a popular repre sentatwm of the governed in China. Through it any subject wha has a grievance against the government may present his claim forredress; but it is not often that this privilege is availed of. on account of the universal injus tice practiced in China toward the un. inftuential claimant. The people have a proverb that expresses the situation exactly, which is, "If you hit a tiger and do not kill him, you become his prey." To be more explicit, another: "When the moneyless speak, the bear er hastens away!" Forty-two years ago, after the trea ties with the powers another depart- Pekins coterie, then, forms the ruling power of China, and yet it could not exist without its subordinate officials, devoted to the emperor and under their guidance. The empire is territorially divided into 18 provinces, each province, If large enough, the seat of a viceroy with nearly unlimited powers. and al most as independent of the central au thority as the governor of an American state is of the federal president. These viceroys or governors general are ap pointed by the emperor, and are, as their title" indicates, fhe' royal repre sentatives through whom he maintains his hold upon the various provinces !ey control. Im order to avoid as much aa possible the possibility of their ris ing against the throne they are never appointed to govern provinces of which they are atives, nor allowed to con tract marriages within those provinces, thus absolutely precluding the vast lo cal and family influences which are so strong as factors of official influence in China. Kach viceroy is appointed for three years only, at the end of which period he is removed to a distant province. The fortunes and vicissitudes of a high official may be found illustrated in the life of that most eminent of Chinamen, Li Hung Chang, who, although at times very near the throne, has passed a good portion of his life in governing prov inces distant from his home. During the allotted period of three years, how ever, the viceroy has probably improv ed his opportunities so well that he has accumulated a fortune and is not at all averse to a change to "fresh fields and pastures new," where he will proceed to squeeze out another fortune from the merchants and taxpayers, ff not already exhausted by the exactions of his predecessor. i upon an industrious and long suffering people. Each clam, however, has troubles of its own, and there is no official so high in standing that he may not without warning lose hs office or his head. Even the viceroys are not exempt, and few of them dare make a showing of affluence through fear that they will be called to account and forced to disgorge their ill gotten plunder. It may throw light upon this year's events in China to mention that while each viceroy is responsible for his province to the em peror or ruling power at Peking, he in turn is held accountable for the actual conditions there. This allows the cen tral authorities a loophole fox escape from retribution for the deeds of their soldiery, as this very month was shown, in the plea they have advanced that it was the uncontrollable mob of another province that committed the horrible massacres in Peking, Tien-tsin. etc.; that orders had been issued to the gov ernors general to combat the Boxers and aid the foreigners. But instead of that they turned against their own gov ernment and hence, being wholly irre sponsible, of course nobody was to blame and nobody should be punished! It remains to be seen whether the out raged sense of justice in the foreign al lies will tolerate such a plea and wheth er the Chinese will not receive a lesson of lasting import. Not only upon the breaking out of a serious revolt in his province is the viceroy or the governor held personally responsible, but he is also brought to book for the disasters that occur through floods or famines There Is not an official in China who covets the viceroyship of the Tellow river prov ince, owing to the bad reputation that river has for periodic overflows. In other countries the bursting of a river's 1 banks might be set down to an "act of tiod" or natural -causes, but not in Chi na. The mandarms are in terror every time the great Yellow changes its course and overflows vast territory, with enormous loss of life, and many a one has lost his head because he did not somehow avert the disaster. The evils of the Chinese provincial system came out strongly In the war with Japan, showing that, -while It might have been convenient to use the viceroys as scapegoats at times, it would have been better had they all been bound together under direction of the central government. Local jeal ousies prevented other viceroys from sending aid to Li Hung Chang at the beginning of that war, and the conse quence was that his armies were easily beaten by the Japanese, taking them singly,, when if combined the result might have been different. The re nowned Prince Ching once remarked to Lord Charles Bereaford that he did not think it would be possible or at least advisable to alter the old established custom of having provincial armies to maintain order in China. The English man replied that the Chinese govern ment had, he thought, an excellent il lustration of that same provincial sys tem when carried out with regard to its fleet. If, he said. The two fleets the Peyang and the Nanyang had been a national fleet under one commander and organization, it 'would have been impossible for the Japanese to have ob tained the easy and brilliant victories which they achieved In the late war. "The lack, of patriotism," says the editor of a Peking paper, "that inspir ing sentiment of every true soldier, is notable in China not only among the rank and file, but among the high offi cials of both military and civil life. The man who does not filch and steal from his country's treasury when he has a chance Is looked upon as a fool, and the names of the viceroys and gov ernors who have grown Immensely rich from their official positions would make a long list, including nearly all." Estimates of the total revenues of the imperial government vary from $200, 000.000 to $400,000,000, but It is acknowl edged by all that It does not receive one-third the aggregate sums collected. In an address of the Chinese merchants of Hongkong they say: "Suppose it Is possible to furnish China tomorrow w ith a well equipped army and perfect ly organized police, we are quite cer tain, that neither force would be main tained in an efficient state for a yeaf and a day. China's corrupt govern ment and her peculating officials would starve out either or both the forces. A high mandarin of cabinet rank in the capital of China does not get more than $1,000 a year: a viceroy, with emolu ments, not more than $5,000: while In point of fact the former requires from 10 to 20 times his salary to live upon, and the latter expends not less than 50.000 or $60,000 per annum! "A general in the army or an admiral in the navy gets less than $2,000 a year as salary, and from these high mag nates down the Chinese officials are all underpaid in the same proportion, until one gets to the lowest grade, the petty mandarin and the soldiers and sailors, who receive from $1 to $3 a month. How do they supply the deficiency in their salaries? By the 'squeeze,' which is exacted from the lowest to the high est. Every sort of traffic and transac tion has to pay Its tributes. Officers in the army draw pay for hundreds of soldiers not in the ranks, they buy am munition for the government and sell it for their own profit, "In short." the board summarizes, "ask any Independent Chinaman you meet, and he will tell you the same story namely, that when a sum of money passes from the imperial board of revenue successively through the va rious channels to its destination, like a well known musical scale, it gradually diminishes and becomes beautifully less." There Is at least one commendable feature of Chinese officialdom, and that is that all the offices are open to the people, without any distinction of birth, nationality or creed only of sex. Th so called literary examinations are free to all for competition, but are so se vere that sometimes men pass their lives in vain attempts to gain an office and die of old age without having ac complished the object of their desires. The life history of "the most distin guished foreigner in China." Sir Robert Hart, is a case in point Illustrating both the liberality of the Chinese and the corruption of their officials. Ap pointed inspector general of customs 40 years ago. he, though a Scotchman born, acquired the confidence of the government by saving it many millions, previously lost through the corruption of its officials, and was made a man darin of the highest class. He has been the mainspring of this great ad ministration for twoscore years, and while standing in relation to the Chi nese government as its servant, though a foreigner, yet in relation to the for eigners he was one of themselves, though a Chinese official. This citation shows that while, ac cording to Lord Beresford. "the tradi tional official system is corrupt, the Chinese people are honest. The integ rity of their merchants Is known to ev ery banker and trader In the east, and their word is as good as their bond. They have, too, a traditional and idol atrous respect for authority, and a 18 they need is an honest and good au thority." CHANNINO A. BARTOW. FLOATING BIRDS' NESTS, There is a variety of grebe (Colymbua minor) which hatches Its young on a regular raft. Its nest Is a mass of strong stems of aquatic plants closely fastened together. These plants con tain a considerable quantity of air in their cells and set free gases in the process of decaying. The air and the gases Imprisoned in the plant make the nest lighter than water. The bird usu ally sits quietly on its eggs, but if any intruder approaches or any danger Is feared the mother plunges one foot In the water and. using it as a paddle, transpprts her floating nest to a dis tance, often dragging along with it a sheet of water plants. A naturalist who frequently watched this remark able removal says: "The whole struc ture looks like a little floating island, carried along by the labor of the grebe, which moves In the center of a mass of verdure. The navy of Japan consists of S battleships, 13 armored cruisers and 44 torpedo boats a total of 60 ships. Rus sia has 15 battleships, 13 cruisers and 174 torpedo boats, bringing the total to 202.

His D'Artagnan" Was a De lightful Piece of Work. Topekals Included in His Tour Xext Season. Adaptability has as much to do 'with success in the various classes of stage work as it has with the various profes sions of life. Early last season a young actor practically unheard of, came to Topeka and proved that he had adapta bility for romantic drama. His produc tion was a cheap arrangement of Dumas' "Three Musketeers" and his company was as cheap as the production. His "D'Artagr.an" was not that of the late younger Salvini, of Sothern or James O'Neill, but it was one that possessed all the rustic mannerisms and enervescent nature that Dumas put into the hero of his famous novel. The audience ihat saw it forgot the cheapness of the pro duction and company in appreciating the actor's work. The young' man is Paul Gilmore. Next season he w ill be featured in "Under the Mr. Paul Gilmore, the Young Romantic Season in "Under Red Robe." a romantic drama which through an existence of several years has grown familiar to theatergoers, but one that possesses sufficient strength to still be attractive. Topeka-is included in the booking of his tour. Gilmore possesses ability and ambi tion, and his forte seems to lie in the di rection of romantic drama, as shown by his work in "The Musketeers." In the character of "Gil de Berault" he should have one well fitting his capabilities. If he makes it equal to his "D'Artagnan" recognition of his worth as a romantic star is certain. In contrast to Gilmore's "D'Artagr.an" the Dumas hero of veter an James O'Neill, seen here later in the season, was sadly lacking in naturalness. It proved, possibly.that it requires youth to portray romantic characters faithful ly, and this Mr. Gilmore has in addition to his ability and ambition. Mr. Gilmore was unfortunate in his tour last season. A few weeks after he left Topeka he was accidentally wound ed by a pistol discharge in New Mexico, and had to give up the stage for several months. When he recovered sufficiently to again take up the woik he appeared for a short season at the vaudeville houses in New York and other eastern cities, presenting a scene from "The Musketeers." This experience was en tirely satisfactory. Mr. Gilmore off the stage is a young man of engaging personality, the kind of a man that has many friends to note with pleasure any strides he may make on the stage. SOXJSA'S MATCHLESS STYLE. German Critics Carried Away by the Grace of the American Bandmaster. This is what one Berlin critic had to say of John Philip Sousa's manner of conducting his band while the famous American bandmaster was in the Ger man capital: It pays to go to Kroll's to see Mr. Sousa conducting his men. His direct ing is unlike taht of any other concJuc t r. He does not make this or that mo tion to draw from the orchestra this or that shade of tone. Moreover, in spired by what he hears, he indulges in an. ever-changing lively pantomime. Now he appears to be holding in his left hand the reins of a four-in-hand, then one imagines he has a whip in his riht hand, while the next moment he appears to be driving according to the tempo of the music. Again he stands, his iiead inclined to one side. as though taking aim with a gun. by way of portraying as a shot the fortissimo stroke on the bass drum. He floats, he dances, he assumes fencing positions always in time with the music. It is well worth seeing Mr. Sousa conduct ing his orchestra." BRADY BUYS PLAYS. Also Arranges for Tours of Anna Held, Loie Fuller and Sandow. In the great European race for plays it appears that William A. Brady has not been distanced, says a Chicago writer. Although Mr. Brady arrived some days later than the real bona-fide syndicate, he brought, as he succinctly expresses it, "a trunk full of the greatest ever." It further transpires that Mrs. Brady (Grace George) "knocked the dressmak ers silly with her orders for new dress es." and that the Bradys Mr. Brady is again quoted "got double sixes every throw" while in Europe. Indeed, Mr. Vt IA v-hih KAtA "At?: rVX V.,' .V j(-.;',Cfe-:,-.,-iw frf',' b-.fM'vt.KVh jjffil i I I Brady is the most exuberant of all the late airivuls. Mr. Brady tells the press that he pur chased two plays in Vienna, one of which is called "The Spell of the Stage," and he has options on some comedies that have been successes in Berlin. He also has a collaborated melodrama by Sutton Vane and Arthur Shirley. In connection with hi3 partner, Mr. Ziegfeld, he will next season manage the tour of Anna Held in 'The Education of the Prince." and also Sandow and Loie Fuller. The most important of the Brady possibili ties is that he may secure Robert Taber to appear with Miss George in "Her Ma jesty." He has bought "Nathan Hale" from Nat Goodwin and will put the play "on the road" with a special company, and Clyde Fitch has sold him a play called "The Parson." This suggests that Mr. Fitch will be as largely in evdence this year as he was last, for in addition to the Brady play he has contracted to furnish one for Ada Rehan and another for Charles Frohman's stock company. Mr. Fitch is still in Carlsbad. DOEOTHY MORTON'S VOICE. She Regains it After Eating Poisoned Lobster and Losing Flesh. From England comes the surprising news that Miss Dorothy Morton, the heavyweight prima donna, who has been seen in Topeka several times, has lost all her excess avoirdupois by an ingenious system which puts Amelia Summerville's flesh-reducing secret to the blush. Miss Morton's banting sys tem is within the reach of everyone. On board ship she partook of some canned lobster, which poisoned her to such an extent that when finally she recovered from its effects weeks later she was merely a wreck of her former self. With slenderness, according to the London reports. Miss Morton has regained com plete control of her voice one of the most beautiful natural voices on the comic opera stage, by the way. Since her "Greek Slave" experience Miss Morton has tired of New York and Actor Who Will Be Featured Next the Red Robe." has elected to make London her head quarters for next season at any rate, says the New York Sun. She has been engaged to play the second role in "Floradora." and after its run is finished Manager George Ed wards, of the Gaiety, has promised to give her an important engagement. As far as her singing is concerned. Miss Morton ought to prove a bonanza to Edwards. There is no woman singer at the Gaiety who can touch her. "THE TALE OF A COAT." Sol Smith Russell Failed "With it in New York and Boucicault Died a Pauper. In discussing Sol Smith Russell and his career on the stage a writer in the New York Sun says: Mr. Russell began young as a mimic with the Berger company of bellringers and singers. His impersonations were like those that Valentine Vox had pop ularized throughout the country. At about the same time that Russell set out in that line a rival named Whiston SLEZAK AS SIEGFRIED Soon Will Leave the British Capltars Operatic Stage For an Extensive Tour of the United States. t a r it i x A. -'AAA'. Herr Slezak, the brilliant new tenor over whom half London i swild, here is shown in his favorite role, Siegfried. This is his latest photograph taken especially for us. He shortly will forsake the London stage for an ex tensive tour of the United States. Though only twenty-seven years of age Herr Slezak already has made his mark in the ranks of the world's great singers. began to give similar diversion. Both were clever caricaturists with mobile faces and a. fluency in dialects. They impersonated especially types of Yan kees. Russell's prim old maid and awk ward bumpkins were famous in their way and a feature of "ye olde folke" concerts given during a dozen annual tours. Whiston was a ventriloquist, too, and he traveled with a panorama, a magician or some other thing, each providing about half of the show. But he became a drunkard and so dropped out of sight. He is here mentioned as a contrast to Russell, who behaved him self Tdrcumspectly, married a daughter of "Oliver Optic" Adams, author of boys' story books, and was highly re garded among Boston people of literary bent. After the disbandment of the Berger family he gave his performances awhile in vaudeville theaters. He lack ed the self-satisfaction commonly bred on the stage and was slow to venture as the actor of a part in a legitimate play, but at length Fred G. Berger in duced him to do it and was his man ager continuously until his breakdown in Chicago last season. His professional experience was sing ular through his great popularity in many cities and his lack of it in a few. In Chicago he played profitable en gagements always and in New York never. His last term at the Garden the ater with "A Bachelor's Romance" was the tirst in the metropolis that had drawn remunerative audiences, and he was much pleased thereby. In the mean time he had accumulated a fortune, and so it was the tardy professional success in New York rather than the pecuniary that delighted him. "It would require several such engagements," he said, "to balance my cash account in this city. My heaviest losses were at Daly's. We hired the theater and brought out "A Tale of a Coat." Dion Boucicault wrote it for me. The skilled old dramatist had waned in fortunes, and this was his final effort to retrieve them. He believed firmly that he had provided just the piece for me to capture Broadway with, and I was about as hopeful as I ever am. But the people wouldn't come to us. Whether the fault lay with the au thor or the actor or with both neither is worth discussing. Anyway, the fail ure was complete. I am no more un selfish than the average man, but I do declare that I was sorrier for Bouci cault than for any one else concerned. He lost no money out of pocket, of course. Indeed, he got the usual ad vance payment on prospective royalties demanded by expert playwrights. But he counted on that comedy format least a year's good income and a recoup in fame. I shall never forget his pitiful effort at pleasantry when I had to tell him that the case was hopeless and that the play was to be abandoned. That was his last composition. The once prosperous and prodigal genius died soon afterward in poverty." CLARA MORRIS TOOK A CHANCE And as a Result Became Augustin Daly's Greatest Graduate. Taking a chance Is one way to get along in the world of the play, says the New York Press. One day at rehearsal in Daly's, Fanny Davenport indignant ly threw down the manuscript of her part and flounced out of the theater, declaring that the play was foolish and the character unworthy her genius. Fanny could do so with impunity, for she was the hope and star of the stage at that time, and she was as great to Daly as Daly afterward was to his ac tors. Augustin was in woe. The play was announced, and everybody looked forward to a new triumph of Fanny Davenport in "Manand Wife." The over throw of his plans cast the manager in to melancholy, from which he was aroused by one of his walking ladies. "Please, Mr. Daly," said she timidly, "if you'll let me, I'll try the part." She had a wicked western accent, and with her emaciated form and dowdy clothes she seemed the antithesis of the opulent and gorgeous Miss Davenport. "You," groaned Daly; "you play Ann Sylvester! Go away! Go away! I am in no humor for joking." "I am serious," said she. "Just try me at one rehearsal," and in his despair Mr. Daly consented. "What is your name?" said he. "Clara. Morris." said she. "It promises to be a good name some day," said he. "I'll do my best to make it so," said she, and Fanny was hoist with her own petard, for the western woman with the villainous ac cent became leading lady of the com pany, and, during her time, the greatest actress that Daly ever produced. Barrymore's Repartee. One story, while famous through all theaterdom, I think has never been printed, recalls a writer in Everybody's Magazine.. Six years ago Maurice Barrymore wrote for Stuart Robson the scenario of a play, which that comedian thought very fine, and asked Barrymore to tinish ajs soon as possible. This was the last that Robson ever heard of the matter. "Gus" Thomas, who was a great admirer of Barrymore's talent, has sorrowed over this, and frequently re proves his friend over his waste of time. One night, before a number of actors, he said: "Barrj', you are too frivolous for a man of your ability. What you want in order to bring you down to earth and make you serious and ambitious is to have a great personal sorrow In your life." "Well." said Barry, "why don't you w-rite me a play?" Theatrical Notes. A new pastoral play is called "A Home spun Heart." It is said that Greece and Spain intend to establish national theaters. A burlesque on "Quo Vadis" will be the opening attraction at Weber Fields'. DeWolf Hopper is said to be happily cast. When E. S. Willard visits this country next season he will have a dramatic ver sion of "A Tale of Two Cities." "Quo Vadis" has smitten Mascagni, the composer, and he announces that he will make it into an opera with an Italian libretto. John C. Slavin will this season play the role formerly taken by Richard Golden, of Fresco, the Polish dancing teacher, in Alice Nielsen's production of "The For tune Teller." The musical farce, "Hodge, Podge Co.," in which Peter F. Dailey will star, begins rehearsals August 2. Christie Mc Donald will have an important part in this piece. Otis Skinner will combine with Mrs. Le Moyne. assisted by Miss Eleanor Robson, in a special production of Browning's "In a Balcony." at Wallace's theater. New York, next October. Jessie Mackaye. who made such a hit with De Wolf Hopper in London, was quietly married on Friday to Robert F. Hobbs, a wealthy New York merchant. George V. Hobart is writing the book for a musical comedy to be called "Com modore Cupid." for which Reginald De Koven will- furnish the music. Miss Ada Rehan has a new play written by Clyde Fitch, in which she will prob ably appear the coming season. David Belasco will also write a play for her, to be produced season after next. Robert Downing is said to have in con templation a season as an old-line legiti mate tragedy star. He believes that the tendency of the times is to a revival of this style of drama. Billie Norton, the wife of Joseph W. Herbert. Alice Nielsen's principal come dian, who has been engaged for the Alice Nielsen Opera company, was a couple of seasons ago noted as one of the great beauties of the New York stage. Terry McGovern. the prize tighter, has an elastic contract to cover his theatrical work the coming season. No matter how prosperous his season may be. he is to be allowed to drop out at any time should a prominent fighter desire to face him in the ring. A piece of theatrical news all the way from London is to the effect that "A Par lor Match" will be put on the stage of a prominent theater in that city the first of next October. Many Englishmen who have seen the farce predict great success for it. Robert Hilliard will appear in the lead ing role of Bob Blessing in "Lost River" during the New York run of that play. In this connection it may be recalled that one .of Mr. Hilliard's earliest successes was as the hero in "Blue Jeans." Mr. Ar thur's other popular play of life in south ern Indiana. Innes and his band have scored a big hit at the Innes music hall at Atlantic City. The programmes are selected with rare artistic judgment and the selections rendered by a band that is orchestral in all but name. Miss Frances Boyden. who made her debut last week, is a valuable addition to the organization. Mons. Quesnel is a tenor of fine voice, and Miss Helene Noldi is also a pronounced fa vorite. Edith Bradford has been engaged by Francis Wilson to originate the leading contralto role in his new opera, "Booloo Boolboom," next season. Miss Bradford finished her musical education only three years ago. and since that time she has ap peared with the Aborn opera company and the Bostonlans. rising rapidly from the chorus to the most important roles. She also attracted wide attention not long ago as contralto solist in the Maine musical festival. In Mr. Robson's second paper of remi niscences in the August Everybody's Mag azine there is a foot-note stating that Mr. Robson has appeared in a larger number of plays than any other leading Ameri can actor. It gives a list of nearly 2X) different plays in which he has acted, and as in many of them he took two or three different parts at different times, the num ber of characters in which he has acted runs up to something more than 500. Mrs. Annie Yeamans. who so success fully created the "cook lady" in George H. Broadhurst's "Why Smith Left Home." has been engaged for the same author's "The House that Jack Built." In it she will appear in a character written es pecially for her. that of Mrs. Dooley, a widow with money and with mixed emo tions so far as her deceased husband is concerned. The part differs from any thing Mrs. Yeamans has yet done, but the author thinks he has evolved a char acter which will suit her to a nicety. Miss Florence Rockwell, seen in Topeka in "Oliver Goldsmith." appeared as "Ca mille" at the Tremont theateg. Boston, last week, winning popular aiTlause and critical approval by her impersonation of Dumas' heroine. Miss Rockwell will be Mrs. Ie Movne's leading lady next season. Mr. Clyde Fitch has delivered to Mr. Charles Frohman the manuscript of a new society play called "The Climbers." which is to be played in New York and London. He has also completed the first act of a piece which he is writing for Miss Ethel Barrymore. Since it was decided that James K. Hackett should not appear in the drama tization of "Richard Carvel" next season, many rumors have been set afloat as to who the oripinator of the role would be. The latest report is that the play will be presented in the autumn by the Empire theater company, with William Faver sham as Richard Carvel. Among the important engagements for "In the Palace of the King." supporting Miss Viola Allen next season, is Miss Marcia Van Dresser for the role of Prin cess of Eboli. During her three seasons on the professional stage Miss Van Dresser has alternated between opera and drama, but expresses a decided preference for the latter. The Sultan of Turkey appreciates the European drama. Some German actors recently gave a performance in his pal ace, according to a foreign paper. The sultan was to take his bath at the time appointed for the performance to begin. But rather than miss it he had the tub rolled into the room in which the actors were to appear and so enjoyed the bath and the play together. The Surrender of Alexandria. Prof.Stanley Lane-Poole in Longman's! The surrender of Alexandria, the last foothold of the demoralized Romans, was not attended by acts of violence. We possess a graphic narrative handed down from a soldier in the Saracen army. He tells how, when the troops approached Alexandria, their general re ceived a letter from the governor,(mean ing perhaps the Patriarch Cyrus) pro posing peace: how the letter was read aloud to the army, and then sent to the Caliph, all the way to Medina, for hi3 instructions; how the troops waited in camp while the messenger went and re turned the long desert route; and how, when the Caliph's acceptance was an nounced, "the whole army shouted 'Al lahu Akbar,' ('God is most great,') the loudest Te Deum they had shouted since they entered the land." In spite of numerous stories, there was no siege of Alexandria merely a tame capitulation. John of Nikiu, a nearly contemporary Christian chron icler, states that there was no pillage or violence. Amr levied the tribute, took nothing from the churches, and pro tected the inhabitants. The well-known legend of the burning of the (already burned) Alexandrian Library is found in no author earlier than six centuries after the supposed event. It Is not men tioned by the contemporary John of Nikiu, nor is it found in the early Arab chroniclers, who had no motive for sup pressing it, or in the Greek historians, who would have been glad to record it. It was reserved for a. Syrian monk and a Bagdad physician in the thirteenth century to reveal the secret that had lain hidden for 600 years.

What is Grant Hornaday going to do with those deeds to the Parsons asylum Bite? The August exodus isron and the man with a vacation is hunting- a place to spend it. It would require a careful statistician to keep track of all the political flops now in progress. The Doniphan county war shows some sign of abating. This Is gratifying to a. long suffering public. Since William Waldorf Astor came in contact with the buzz-saw of the Prince Of Wales, he has been discreetly silent. Women are showing a disposition to wear comfortable clothing. The fashion makers should put a stop to this at once. Frank Elliott's latest effusion is an effort at ancient history in which he as usual lampoons a man supposed to be Cyrus Leland. It la only four years until there will fee another Republican national con vention. Has Tom need's presidential bee had its wins pulled out? There is a man in Topeka who de serves a chromo he spent three months in Europe and makes no effort to bore his friends with stories of what he saw. Ex-Speaker Tom Reed has a wonder ful law practice in New York just now. He is so busy he can not get out and make a few speeches for his old friend I i anna. It might not be out of place to suggest to President McKinley that Gen. Fred erick Funston isnot particularly busy in the Philippines and there is room for him in China. A Gotham lawyer caught a shark while fishing the other day. On the ground of common fellowship the attor ney immediately released the shark with a hearty God speed. The Clyde Watermelon carnival will be held on August 29 and 30 and the management has promised to send a car load to Topeka for free distribution through the State Journal. The assassination of the Italian- ruler is used as an excuse for Johann Most and Lucy Parsons to Issue forth from their hiding places much to the dis gust of the American public. Gold Democratic birds who were so wary four years ago are now so tame that they readily mingle with the silver Wyandottes in Farmer Bryan's barn yard and almost eat out of his hand. Chairman Albaugh declares the Re publicans will carry Kansas by about 25,000 and the fusion prophets see a victory of no less than 15,000. Why not wait until after election and then we will all know. Lieutenant Governor Harry Richter and his opponent. Major A. M. Harvey, are warm personal friends. Their re spective central committees, would do well to inquire whether they havepooled in this campaign. WILL OHIO GO DEMOCRATIC? It Is announced from various Demo cratic sources that Ohio is doubtful this year and Mr. Bryan's chance for secur ing the electoral vote of the home state of President McKinley is good. There one quality to be admired in the average Democrat and this is the cheerful and roseate. hopefulness of his political views regardless of the condi tions against him. Take a look at the figures of the elections in the Buckeye state for sev eral years past. This indicates, better than in any thing else, why President McKinley' should not pass restless nights over the fear of losing his own tate. Grant carried Ohio in 1S68 and 1S72; Hayes In 1S76; Garfield in 1880; .Blaine in 18S4; Harrison in 1SS8 and again in 1S92. The vote in 1S92 was: Harrison, 405. 187; Cleveland. 404,115; Weaver, 14,850, and Bidwell, 28.012. This gave Mr. Harrison 1,072 votes more than Cleveland, but not nearly a majority of the votes polled. In 189 William McKinley received 625.P91 and W. J. Bryan, 477,494 votes, Mr. McKinley's majority being about 43,497. In 1S97 Asa Bushnell, the Republican candidate for governor, received 429,915 votes; Chapman, Democratic candidate, 401.750; with several other candidates receiving about 22,000 votes. This gave the Republican candidate a majority of about 5.000 votes. In 1S9 Nash. Republican candidate for governor, received 417,199; McLean, Democrat, 368,176, and Jones, Independ ent, 106,721 votes. This gave Nash a plurality of 49,013, but not a majority by nearly 58,000. Golden Rule Jones, who received over 100,000 votes, will run this year as a candidate for congress inv-the Toledo district as an Independent, and the Democrats will probably indorse him Xor the place. The question of where the votes Mh. Jones received in 1S99 will go is what is worrying the Ohio politicians. There are more anti-Republican votes in Ohio than Republican, but so far they refuse to unite solidly upon one man and there is little, reason for the Democrats to think they will do so this year. But if ex-Mayor Jones runs as an In dependent candidate for congress there will be a spectacular campaign in the Toledo district that will astonish the oldest inhabitant. NO DOCTORS; NO SICKNESS. St. Louis Post Dispatch: Morton county, Kansas, has neither sickness nor any use for doctors within its borders. With a population of over 400, there has not been a case of sickness for twelve months, and the county authori ties now warn doctors to keep away. This seems to be a case for scientific investigation. Either the 400 people of Morton county have been living in the Edenic state of obedience to the laws of hygiene, which many books and pamphlets have described and advocat ed. Or there is something about the soil, vegetation, and natural endow ments of the county that marvellously preserves- human beings from sickness. It would be well to inquire whether or not other animal life has been as healthy as the human inhabitants of this county, and in general what is the secret of the unusual salubrity of a whole county. Perhaps the absence of doctors is the true explanation. Not the least important part of the investigation should be as to whether the majority of Morton county folks drink and smoke, and to what extent. It will probably be found that they are quite "addicted." Still, it might turn out the other way. for Kansas people are generally noted for extreme tem perance. Whichever rule of life has been followed, the result of the investi gation would afford a new subject for discussion and argument that would enliven the dull days Qf summer emptiness. THE CASE OF MR. RATHBONE. The arrest of Mr. E. G. Rathbone is the result of the report of Mr. Bristow of the postefflce department at Wash ington on the result of the Cuban postal service frauds. Rathbone and those con nected with him in the steals will be tried by a Cuban court and, if convicted, will serve sentence in a Cuban prison. Rathbone's case differs from that of Neely, who robbed the service of be tween $130,000 and $150,000, says the Philadelphia Times. His frauds were not as flagrant, but as he held the posi tion of "director general of, posts," ar.d had full charge of the postal service on the island, his responsibility was much greater. A month after Rathbone was appoint ed, in 1S9S, he petitioned for an increase of salary. He was getting $4,000 a year, and he was allowed $3 per day for ex penses. In June last year his salary was raised to $6,500 and the expense al lowance was cut off. Notwithstanding that, he kept on drawing it. Then he in duced the postmaster general at Wash ington to give him a pretentious resi dence in Havana free, and in furnishing it he had many articles charged to the government, which had to pay for ex pensive livery for his coachman and footman. Two illegal drafts for $500 were drawn by Rathbone, who used the money without accounting for it. These facts were all brought out; in the Bris tow report to the government on the Cuban postal service frauds. The pecuniary less by the operations of Rathbone, Neely, et al, is of trifling consequence compared with the injury these vulgar and ostentatious thieves have done the American government and the American name, and the damage to American official credit in Cuba. Placed in important positions to make a good object lesson for the Cuban people, they grossly betrayed their trusts, compro mised the government and dishonor-d their country. No penalty under the law can be too severe for such men. KEEP OFF THE STREET. The habit of young girls being on the street seems to be growing in Topeka. The habit is not confined to; any class. There are many girls who may be seen parading Kansas avenue nearly every day in the week, morning and afternoon, rain or shine and this can scarcely fail to have a cheapening effect in the eyes of the world. There are many girls who work down town and are compelled to be on the street a great deal, but there Is apt to be a difference between the business gill and the girl who walks the streets mere ly for the sake of seeing and being seen, while even a casual observer may dis tinguish readily. This is a habit which should be broken in its infancy. It is apt to cause the loafers about the street to speak lightly, and destroys the respect of the men all right minded girls wish to please. There is little real enjoyment to be found on the street and there are many ways in which every girl might be pleas antly and profitably occupied. THE CAMPAIGN ORATOR. John J. Ingalls, Thomas B. Reed or any other of the bright men of the times are not known to have declared the po litical system of the United States to be as regular in its workings as the solar system of the universe, but it's so. Just the same. The usual quadrennial proof is at hand. Within a month the campaign orator will be In evidence, to remain in evi dence until the struggle is over. He is one well known to history, the necessary evil for arousing the enthusiasm of the American people. His work is in a beaten path. It will be simply as it has been. The campaign orator will heap abuse ar.d ridicule on the principles of the party he is opposed to, while lauding the principles of that which he repre sents. That's what he is paid for. The partisan newspaper will back up the campaign orator. The public will be told of lack of enthusiasm and small at tendance, bursts of applause and crowd ed, houses according only to political complexion. That's the field the par tisan newspaper fills. It's a horrible monotony when one comes to think about it. The only break is the change in issues. The working sys tem remains the same. The old ground is replowed every four years. It's some thing of a blessing that the presidential terra is no shorter. FARMER NEEDS NO TRUST. A meeting called in Topeka next Tues day is for the ostensible purpose of organizing some sort of an association of farmers for mutual improvement of a financial nature. The promoters of this enterprise are very anxious to make the public believe that the meeting is not for the avowed purpose of forming a trust among the farmers with a view of raising the prices on the commodities which the farmers have to sell. Were the promoters of this organiza tion able to corner the agricultural products now in the hands of the far mers of the United States, a trust which would make theconsumers squirm would be the result. But the purpose will fail, because of several reasons, and because of one particularly im portant fact which at this time appeals to the average farmer. The average farmer Is now pretty well satisfied. The wars in the east have forced the demand for hay into the west and the new hay now going on the market is worth $5 per ton in To peka. Corn is worth 35 cents; wheat is buzzing around 75 cents and other pro ducts of the field are correspondingly high in the markets. The farmer is not the kind of a man who desires to dis turb a condition which is encouraging. He is permitting the office seekers to run the politics of the state: he is neglecting the opportunity to go away from business to resolute on various topics, but stays at home looking after the bunch of bills and dollars which he has recently acquired. An increase of three million dollars In the bank de posits in three months, from reports by country banks, shows what the Kansas farmer is doing. And. the man who is expected to come to Topeka next week to form a trust will be noted absent when the meeting assembles. That meeting will be dominated, officered and managed by men whose knowledge of farms is confined to a garden in town, which ten to one, is growing up with weeds, while the grass in the front yard needs cutting, all because the man of the house is out working for the organization of this trust. WEDDING HOODLUMS. Some people are wondering If civil ized society is about to go back to the barbaric customs of the charivari. This week a wedding occurred in which the bride and groom are well known in Topeka. The wedding took place at a residence. Before the ceremony com menced a crowd gathered around the house. The crowd was a mixture of neighbors and hoodlums. They crowded and jostled to get close to the house and see through the windows. Those enter ing or leaving the house had to jostle their way through the crowd of inquisi tive persons. The occupants of car riages arriving had to submit to the scrutiny of the crowd before they could enter. Will it soon be necessary for the po lice to be called upon to preserve order and a passage way at social functions and weddings? In this particular case it was finally necessary to close the windows of the house and pull down the curtadns, the crowd became so for ward ana bold. DISFRANCHISING NEGROES. The returns from the election in North Carolina state that the amend ment to the constitution which disfran chises the negroes was carYied by a ma jority of 30,000 or more. It is evident that the report which was sent out that many negroes remained away from the polls and that others voted for the amendment was correct. Several south ern states, four in all, have adopted this same amendment and they seem perfect ly satisfied with it. Of course the object is to disfranchise the negroes those who cannot read nor write and own no pro perty. It has been said by some eastern poli ticians that while they did not object to the disfranchisement of the Ignorant ne gro, it would be no more than right that the representation of the states adopt ing the amendment should be reduced. However, to do this would require an amendment to the national constitution and it is not likely that any one will have nerve enough to champion such a move. Each state is entitled to repre sentation according to the number of in habitants and not the number of voters. The adoption of the amendment makes the state of North Carolina Democratic beyond question, and shelves the Populist-Republican United States senator, Marion Butler. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. All of us "put on" more or less. All some women get out of their church work, is to be "talked about." Some women do nothing but walk the streets, and make the busy men take off their hats to them. Young people inform us that canta loupes are as good as they ever were, but they are mighty tasteless to old people. Every man should have a telephone in his house, so that when he gets home at night, kickers can still reach him by calling him up. When a girl knows a man no more intimately than an ice cream ac quaintance will justify, she talks a good deal about her "faith" in him. Five minutes after a boy has turned away from the wash basin and towel, he begins to answer the question, "When did you wash your hands last?" The society reporter of the Globe has observed that when she approaches a woman, and asks, "Any guests com ing?" the woman replies, "No, thank goodness!" The last thing the women worry about in tne -putting up" season, is citron. I Just now they are trying to decide J whether it is cheaper to "put up" toma toes, or buy them put up. Tell a girl that you have a compli ment to repeat to her, and she is bound to be disappointed. She wonders what prince has admired her, and when told it was a carpenter next door, her heart sinks. We have remarked during our long experience as a reporter that there is always complaint of boys. Arthur Kin ney, who is now a sober business man, registered a complaint this morning about boys who go swimming inacity park lake, who steal apples on the way, climb fences, tramp over lawns, and make noise. Mr. Kinney was very in dignant about the action of the boys, and thinks something should be done. Still, we remember, when Mr. Kinney was a boy, that there was complaint about him. There was a peach orchard on the Ingalls place, and, in company with a lot of other South Atchison boys, now worthy citizens, the boysgathered most of the Ingalls peaches, and Mr. Kinney was probably one of the crowd. One South Atchison woman had her vineyard cut down, because the boys bothered her so much. We presume Arthur Kinney was in that crowd, too. Boys are never as bad as they the represented, anyway, and they are bet ter. We remember when boys were whipped two or three times a day: the writer used to get a whipping about that often. But we have not seen a boy whipped in years. We do not intend this as encouragement of bad boys, for boys should be as polite and considerate as possible, but we do contend that the offenses of boys are, as a rule, greatly exaggerated. POINTED PARAGRAPHS From the Chicago News. Neptune's coat of arms must be the crest of a wave. Civility Is a priceless possession, yet it costs nothing. If you would tire your friends blow your own trumpet continuously. The more the average man studies love the less he knows about it. The mule Is the most stubborn of all animals but man is a close second. The man who goes where duty calls, usually goes home after business hours. Girls should set good examples for the young men who are always following them. If the wages of sin is death no man can possibly manage to live on the wages. Some lawyers receive a larger fee for keeping quiet than others do for talk ing. In accord with the eternal fitness of things the scales of a fish should weigh the most. Many o woman who can speak seven languages hasn't a husband to growl be cause she can't sew on a button. Flowers that are open to every bee and lips that are free to be kissed by any one soon lose their desirability. During the courtship many a man thinks he has discovered an earthly an gel, but after marriage his thoughts many not be suitable for publication. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The oyster has only another month of vacation. Thp riiisv fftimrfrvman is alwava cast ing lots. There are fish ln'the sea as good as ever were lied about. The average boarding house joke is just about as stale as the butter. The home industry of some women is expended in chasing moth flies. When a pugilist is knocked out his face usually assumes a rapt expression. The green apple now has the inside track where small boys are concerned. The blind man has the satisfaction of knowing that he can never see his finish. Gertnantown has a grass widow named Green. She is not as verdant as she sounds. The girl who paints her cheeks is not usually the one who Is referred to as being as pretty as a picture. Sillicus "If love Is a disease, as some philosophers claim, what is the cure?" Cynicus "Marriage, I suppose." Blobbs "I proposed to her while we were out camping." Slobbs "What sort of an answer did she give you?" Blobbs "Tentative." Nell "Do you know the language of flowers?" Belle "I know that when he sends me a $25 bunch of American beau ties it doesn't mean 'I hate you." Wigwag "I think I should be fond of playing golf. What should I learn first?" Lofter (with fire scorn) "Learn to say 'golfing' instead of 'playing golf.' "And this poor man in the padded cell," said the visitor to the insane asy lum; "what brought him here?" "That is a sad case," remarked the keeper; "he has been reading all the newspapers, and trying to figure out the exact status of the Chinese situation." His vacation he spent at the shore; He received his two weeks, as re quested. At the end of the fortnight he swore He would go back to work to get rested. Books That People Talking About.

CO., 633 Kansas Avenue. The pranks of a party of young peo ple have brought about a "match" and the announcement will be out soon. A few days ago a young lady was to return from Kansas City over the Rock Island. A certain young man went to the depot to meet her and there met several other friends of hers al wait ing to greet her. This certain young man went over to the union Pacific de pot to catch the train there and ride with the young lady across the river. While the crowd at the Rock Island depot was waiting it was decided to play a joke on the couple. A bag' of rice was gotten at a grocery store and several old shoes collected. When, the? r train pulled Into the Rock Island depot the certain young man assisted the young lady from the train and the Jok ers with the rice and old shoes shower ed the couple as though they were bride and groom. The strangers on the platform took them to be newly mar ried. It was rather embarrassing and the young lady begged her tormentors to stop. But they kept on showering the rice. The young man threatened to whip the whole crowd, but an old shoe hit him as he talked. The couple es caped when the rice and shoes gave out. They were awfully plagued, but it is now rumored that on account of the joke that they are engaged. The fire department has several friends among the youngest of To peka's inhabitants. Each station has a favorite. A little fellow about four years old who lives near Station No. 4, is a regu lar visitor there. About once a week his father takes him over to see the "Aire deplartment." The young one is always- shown everything and the fire men carry him in their arms and slide down the poles with him. He thinks it great fun and the climax is when he is allowed to sit on the back of one of the horses. A few nights ago he finish ed his -prayer by saying, "Bless papa and mamma, and the fliremens and the Aire horses." There is a sweet little girl who lives not far from the department headquar ters and she makes her regular visit there. She has become greatly at tached to the driver of one of the wag ons and calls him "my fireman." She liven on West Seventh street. When ever she hears the fire bell ring she runs to the porch to see if the firemen Not long ago an alarm came in from a house. The companies seldom go bo her home that she is not on the porch. She waves her hand at "my fireman," and he waves back at her as he dashes by. Not long ago an alarm came in fro a fire at Seventh street and Western ave nue. A barn was on fire and the fire men could Bee the blaze as they left headquarters. They made a quick run. The drivers were Intent on reaching the flre as quickly as possible and when they went by the little girl's home her fireman forgot to look for her. She was on the porch. She ran to her mother crying. "My fireman wouldn't look at me." she sobbed, "because my face was dirty." That very day she made her father take her to headquarters so she could apologize. "Why is it that people talking about horses and children look them over in about the same way?" asked a man of a crowd on the street corner. "Now a few days ago I saw a man looking at a horse. This was the conversation he had with the owner: "How old is he?" "A two year old." "Good teeth?" "Yes." "Does he eat all his feed?" "iTes." "Got any splints?" "Not a blemish." "City broke?"

TOPEKA STATE JOTTKNAIi, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1900. 13 FOR 1HEW0MEN. Ice Color Is the Tery Latest Shade. Has Suddenly Become Fashion" able In Summer Fabrics. PESK CREPE DE CHINE. Some Pleasing Effects in This Season's Gowns. Hints of Value For Use in the Kitchen. One of the sweetest gowns which this season has "come down the pike," as some summer girls say. is of pink crepe de Chine, cream-colored Renais sance lace and large quantity of black baby velvet ribbon, knotted sometimes, run through openings in the lace at others, and sewed on in a design In the third place. The pink crepe de Chine is accordion plaited, and sewed onto a foundation skirt of pink taffeta. The plaitingr is so long in front that the wearer of the gown must step carefully, indeed, not to trip in the folds. Whatever are the shortening tendencies in street gowns, those for dressier use are as long as it is possible to walk in. The apron of Renaissance lace which adorns the pink crepe frock is pointed in front, lined with thin pink silk, and made no more than twelve inches deep at the back. A wide girdle lacing at the back on the clustered ends of nar row black velvet hangs to make a novel sash. The chemisette is of plaited crepe de Chine, made with high stock, finished In the straight line which is now liked better than anything fan tastic in the way of collar "ears." Fleck Pink Gloves. Gloves of undressed kid in the softest shade of fleck pink reach so far as the elbows, where the lace sleeves end in ruches of pink crepe. A hat, one of those exquisitely simple creationswhic h make of millinery a joy, and of a pretty woman a bewitching picture. was modeled to accompany this exceptional piwa. The body of the hat is white horsehair, the trimming great pink single roses with their pinkish green foliage. There is some skill required In put ting on a hat of this shape to make it fit the outline of the head nicely. The back of the brim probably pokes out when it should lie flat. A pearl hatpin with long pear-shaped hat, put into the crown where it meets the brim, the head tipped forward, will keep the brim close against the head with little trouble. The Hip Shawls. Carmen in her gayest days wore nothing more noticeable than the hip shawls of which New York has seen several of late. They are worn in the public thoroughfares by women of darkly sunburned complexions, towsled hair and strange hats. One meets these unfamiliar figures most frequently at the bargain counters where jewelry and lace are sold. The most natural ex planation seems to be: Cuban school teachers studying at the summer ses sion in Cambridge playing hookey in New Tork. Xevr York Press. Somebody has been clever enough to name the new silver white tone with rainbow tints In it, which one sees in siik, ice color. The term has found im mediate favor, with the probability that we shall have other materials dyed and woven to represent the idea. The white duck and pique overskirts which are a summer fad. worn with blouses and skirts of red. pink or blue colored wash materials, remind you of nursemaids' aprons. They are not liked on first, second or third sight. After about the fourth appearance, every woman with the instinct of fashionable Imitation strong in her being feels that her wardrobe is incomplete, her sum mer unsuccessful, until she owns at least one long white overskirt, pointed back and front. Instruction For Mothers. To care for the little children during the heated term is a good work, in which the sympathies and dollars of many persons are enlisted, but it does little good unless the mothers can be taken into account, too. One of the things to which more attention is being paid is the instruction of mothers. They are urged not to stop the child's cries by feeding it, but to feed it at regular hours, and if it is fretful to look for other causes than hunger. The necessi ty for baths and the proper way to give them are impressed upon them. Xot to let the child lie in the hot sun with no protection on its head is an other point that has to be emphasized. On the Floating Hospital trips, in the social settlements and wherever an ef fort is being made to help the poor, mothers are being roused to take heed for the little things that may save the baby's life. New York Press. Care of the Nails. A girl whose nails are noticeably well kept explained to a group of companions the other day that she was her. own manicure, and that her implements were few and not at all the expensive or showy outfit that most persons par ticularly dealers and manicures consid er necessary. "To begin with," she said. "I never use nail-scissors, not even cuticle-scissors or knives, but nail-clippers. These never produce hangnails, while scissors or knives may. My mani curing box holds some emery boards, a stick of orange wood sharpened to a thin broad point, a piece of pumice stone, half of a fresh- lemon, a jar of amandine, a tiny jar of rose paste, al though a box of powder with a polisher or a bit of chamois unmounted will do as well. Once a week I 'do my hands thoroughly, and with a trifling daily care they are well kept. The pumice stone removes ink and other stains;the lemon is the only bleach needed, and is better than any other, as it will not thicken the nails as most of the pre pared bleaches, made from mineral acids, will. For the weekly care of my nails I soak my fingers a few minutes in tepid, soapy water, trim the nails with the clippers, using the emery board to shape them. I clean them only with the orange wood stick.' never with a steel cleuner or anything rough, keep the cuticle pushed down and finally smear with the least bit of rose paste and polish with the powder and a polisher or piece of chamois. The aman dine is to nourish and heal the nails, and I use that occasionally at night." New York Post. The Art of Beauty. A WORD TO THE BUSINESS WOMAN By Mme. Michaud. Now that the shop wintfrvwss are lined with bargains in shirt waists it may not be out of place to give a word of warn ing to the business women. The mopt attractive and alluring "sacrifices," with lace or embroidery set into the mater ial, are offered. Lawns and dimities that show the outlines of the arm allure pur chasers who go shopping on a warm day. The fact that these bargains have suc cessfully tempted many buyers is seen by the costume of the girls who go down town early in the morning to office and shop. Of course, the girls who wear these thin waists have never thought about whether they are appropriate for business. The waists looked cool and they- were likely to be becoming and that is as far as most women can think when the thermometer is up to the '90a. It is the duty of every business woman to think a great deal about her dress and appearance. She should be always well groomed and she should be so sim ply gowned as to escape any special at tention. It is manifestly bad form to wear what has been aptly called a "frivolous" shirt waist down town. Any man who would go to his desk attired in a low-necked swimming shirt would be judged insane, even though his cos tume might be cool. The absurdity of a dotted muslin shirt waist in connection with a day of real toil need not be pointed out to any sensible girl, yet I have seen a dozen such ridiculous "out fits' 'in the last week. Of course, the Smart A smart parasol of white satin with black and gTay stripes, having a han dle of black ebony which is ornamented with a bow of black and white ribbon. The inside of this Parisian adjunct to the summer toilette is a soft and filmy mass of chiffon folds, whic h are shirred at the edge of the cover, and show in a fluffy heading. The second is a chic coasting parasol with a cover of green and white moire which shows a stylish black satin stripe bordering the stripe of green and white plaid. poor, helpless men who employed the girls thus airily attired do not know what to say, because men think that fashion can decree any absurdity and that women will not hesitate to follow wherever they are led by the latest styles. I have frequently mentioned this phase of the shirt-waist question, but it is something that will bear repetition if by that means a reform may be brought about. The business woman should choose waists of some good material that is warranted to wash well. The waists should fit perfectly and they should be provided with a tape in the back through which a belt can be passed to prevent all danger of the slipping-up process that is common to the garment of summer. A waist should not be worn more than two days. Men complain that women are economical about tneir laun dry bills, A collar will not do service more than one day. Even though it may be necessary to absolutely cut off all in dulgence in soda water and ice cream, this habit of absolute neatness should be cultivated. The linen skirts are cool, but they are a costly luxury. The un lined black skirt will be found quite as comfortable as the wash fabrics, and much cheaper in the end. The woman who is always dainty need not worry much about her complexion, for blemishes are not noticed if the gen eral impression of neatness and whole someness is given. In this connection, it is not out of place to mention the hair. Nowadays there are more sloven ly coiffures to be seen than at any time sin cethe Langtry bang and the Psyche knot disappeared. What does a woman think when she fixes her hair in a sort of an "all-around pompadour," from which strands escape in every direction? Surely she does not think at all. When she crimps her locks before she tortures them into this becushioned horror, she adds to her general frowsiness. About To per cent of the women complain that they must have waves or curls to relieve their faces, and they add that only a pretty woman can wear her hair plain. If a woman is ugly, it is hard to under stand by what process of reasoning she arrives at the conclusion that she will improve her face by making her head hideous and untidy. The part is becom ing to almost every woman and the modified pompadour is always pretty. Braided hair is worn by the woman who has a crown of glory of which to be proud, and the smooth coils are always stylish. If any girl, will try the plain coiffure long enough to find out, what the men who are her friends think of it she will give up the curling iron. Menus For Tomorrow. BREAKFAST. Blackberries.

Just to mix thoroughly but not make light; season with half a teaspoonful of salt; place an omelet pan or medium-sized frying pan over the fire with one tablespoonf ul of butter; when hot pour in the eggs; shake the pan violently for a few seconds, and give an extra stir or two with a fork. As the omelet begins to set around the edges, carefully lift with a spatula or flexible knife, allowing the liquid part to run under the other.

Princess Victoria of "VVles, who is 32 years old, is one of the tew royai old maids in existence. She has had oppor tunities of marriage, but her devotion to her parents and tendency to follow artistic fads have kept her single at an age when most princesses have long been wives. The Countess of Pembroke wore at the recent drawing room some rare Flanders point that had enhanced the beauty of a gown worn by Queen Eliz abeth. The pattern is a peculiar design of a terrace walk, with birds on pedes tals and with deep flowers trailing across it in beautiful confusion. Alis-s Helen Gould was honored with a general's salute of 13 guns at Ft. Sheridan, near Chicago, last week. Af ter a review of the troops she visited the hospital and spoke kindly to each invalid. She is interested in all ar rangements for the care of sick sol diers. Mme. Sara Bernhardt has a unique idea of a holiday. She reclines on a couch in a quiet room, reading and doz ing during the day and appears at din ner in the evening in negligee and re tires to her couch immediately after ward. An American girl has been astonish ing the natives of the Island of Capri by her daring swimming. She is Miss Schroeder, from Augusta, Ga., and her parents have a fine villa on the island. She frequently swims boldly into the famous Blue Grotto, and is as much at home in water as on land. New Field for Women. Among the newer gainful occupations opened for women is in the capacity of a directress for hotel guests. On every floor in some of the large new hotels a woman is now required whose busi ness it is to sit in her parlor and re ceive those among the gu,s of the hotel who, as strangers, net., "to be di rected about their purchases about the best milliners, dress and boot makers, manicures, etc. For this she receives a liberal allowance few working wo men ever clear half as much). All her living expenses are paid, she has every other evening to herself, and her meals are served in her room, so that all un necessary publicity is spared her. For the Shirt Waist Girl. As many of the fancy shirt waists are arranged in surplice style a demand is naturally created for every variety of chemisettes, fancy plastrons or shirt 1 fronts of mousseline, pique, chiffon, em- broldered fabrics or tuckings, with stock collars of various forms attached. These fronts being changed according to the fancy of the wearer, many varied effects may be permitted to the costume. The shops are showing complete lines of pique revers, sailor collars and detach able fronts, to be worn with these sur plice waists. Superstitious Customers. A clerk In one of Topeka's dry goods f tores says that a characteristic of many of the women customers is their superstition. There are certain days on which they will not buy even a penny's worth, but tb.3 inconsistent part of it is that they do not all have the same un lucky day. S ima will not buy on Mon day, others on Tuesday and so on through the week, but they never give any reason, except that it is unlucky. It would seem, however, that their un lucky day does not keep them from "shopping." for the other day a woman was examining dress goods and found a pattern which exactly suited her; she had the money in her pocket book, but Saturday was her unlucky ('ay, and she would not buy it nor even have it put away for her. Bright and early Mon day morning she was again at the store and as luck was with her that day the material was still there, and after pay for it she went away with it under her arm, perfectly contented. ATT N'T TRUDY'S LETTER. She Discusses the Organization of a a Colony. Button Rose Cottage, Aug. 4, 1900. Dear State Journal: I usto think, before I fell so deep in love with Topeka, that by-n-by I would gether up all the onesy an diskentented folks I could find, some day, an' or geniz a kolony. I've bin a nursin' that idee fur nigh onto 25 yeers, an' I bin al ius intendin' to make the start when there seemed to be nothin' goin' on of Intrest in Kansas, but now this yere's put it off agin. I hev my plans an' bilaws well made, In my min', an' seeln' es there mite be a spel o' monotony after Bryn's de feet, I thot prudent to speek of the kolony now, so's all the folks whats hopes is wilted kin make up ther minds to jine. The way I cum to git a noledge of the lokashun an' the idee of a kolony was jes' this way; You remeber when the grate yers for grashoprs jes' after Horis Greely's defeet, In the last century? Well our folks hed a farm sevrel hundred mles north o' here, where they was the thickest, an' for three odd yers we hed to dint considerable more than we en joyed, an' there was nuthin' goin' on to reliev the monottonny, but a smart, slik looken' agent, from somee'ers. He kep' teasin' at our folks to trade farms. lie sed his farm wus shelterd on the othur side of the Ozarks. an' that the gras hoprs were never nown to fly over them Ozarks. He would trade akre for akre. He spoke of timber an' springs, an' sil ver mines, an' froot. an' games, like wild dear an' wild bare, till our bare hills looked more wild an' bare, till we giv up, an' went an' traded akre fur akre! I hav no idee of tellin' the harrowin' de tales of the movin' fur the sake of my kolonists. It is wiser to pass over some interestin" things. Suffus it to say, the cars set us off one day in Januoary In a spicy, woodsv place, in the mntft extreme pint of Mizoory tord Kuby. They sed it wus the conty seat, but-if that was so I think the conty mostly stood up. We didn't no exactly which way our lan' lay. se we went a lookin' around. There was a river half as wide as the Kaw. a run nin' around here an' there. Which ever wav we druv, it seemed to be there, without a bridge. It was named Crooked crlk, an' it was so cler the very bottom seemed to com to the top. They druv right thru, an' the peeple walked on stones. They sed ther wa'n't a bridge in the conty, as they couldn't afford It, but thev alius was a'fordin it, tho'. After a fu days with the help of some secshun han's, a sirvalng over them Crooked criks. an' among them Ozark spurs, we found our farm the one we traded fur. akre fur akre! The "promis land" it had seemd. but we found it more roks than lan'. an' more "promis" than "com to pas." and' some of us sed they gest we was the "come to pas" part of the bargain. You see our ideel "farm" was jes a tangled mass o' roks an' trees, an' brires, ate miles from a wagen path. But O, the sines of money there was there! I never see the like! But some of our folks rekond the money was two deep in fer farmers. I venture there was iron ore enuff to bild a rale rode- An' on the hilsides. steeks o' green rust from copper: an' ther was brik cla. an' kaolin cla. white as chok, what they make plates of in Fillydelfy, an' car lodes an' car lodes of it! An' ther was sines o' led an' silver, so the secshun han's sed. An' ther was game two. an' the secshun nans seemd to think game was some thin', but we, kind o' felt we was "game" oursels, an didn't lissen much to them stories of 50 lbs. fishes in the lagunes. but we did pay atenshen to them stories of the snakes an' tarrentulies, an' we ac shullv got to see a fu. We went bak to the hotel, an' 'most tired to deth. an' nothin' seemd good but the rale rode! But we remembered ther was no home to go bak to we hed traded akre fur akre, an' must now make the best of It. So we found th-re was a froot farm for rent in the Flat woods. 6 mile west of the contv seet. an' at last we rented that, an' moved in the log cabin with parches all around It. The Flat woods was a high, level ten mile strch o' land between Crooked crik an' Castor river. There was little paehes o' clearin' here an' there, enld "farms." Some other prary man. who had probublv traded akre r"!r akre. muft have once had that farm, for there was on it a big orcherd, an' peech trees tall as tellvgraf poles, an' big around as I am. But the wells were funny! Thev ivas jest holes like big jugs dug in the ground, an' when it raned an' they filled up with water it jes stade there, till you took it out. or it got plum full of mos ketos. Troffs were dug in the fields an' woods fur the cattle. The naber3 jes sooted the contry. It jes seemd like the great streem o' sivili zashun hed flode right on west, an' left that corner to itself, like them eddys by the river side where the water has got out of the current an' whirls roun of itself forever! Evry farmer was his own blaksmith an' shumaker. an' everythin els. His wife made all the cloes they wore right from the sheep's bak. or from the flaxfeld. His dotters plowed an' split rales, an chopt wood. His sons fished an hunted an' smoked. When meat was needed, thev went to the woods an' shot the first hog or the first wild turkv they found. An' they made all there own suger an' sirup. One of our famly thot he would tech skule in a log skule house, an' the first week was the end o' the turra. The bord sed he mus begin at sun up an' tech to sundown. He thot he would Interdooce some new sivilizashun. so he pot some blak blldin' paper an' made a blak-bord. an' sum kaolin cla fur chock, an' was a-techen 'em blak-bord liirnln". when in cum the skule bord an' rored about it. an' sed he hed got to stop it an' go to makin' red marks on them chlldern's baks. Instid o' white marks on the blak bords! Our childern never went to skule there after that. Wido Mouser. an' her son Bill an' dotter Barb lived nere. They wer the aristoc racy of the Flat woods. They askt us to a wool piken. onct. The hul crowd set silent as dum-bells all day. I askt ques tions, an' trid to convent till I got tired. But thev workt fast, an' lookt clost tn there bizness. They past tobacco around on a plate, same's we would apples! They make tobacco there. At 5 o'clock the two oldest dotters went out to the corn pach and gethered there apurns full of corn, an' com in an' grated it an' made pone for supper, an' cooked bacon tn a long legged skllit on coles on the ege of the fire place. While we were ther, a wed din' proseshen went by, an' we al went out on the porch to see It. The brid-en-groom were walkin' to there home, three miles a wav. The groom was ledin" his horse. It was shady there, an' the bride was a-fannin' herself hard with her yello sunbonnet. She had on a yellow calico dress an' a white apurn. She was purty. to with her rosy cheeks so roun'. an her red Hps. an' dark curls -bobbin' aroun'. Her eyes were shy an' dark, under cur lin' lashes, an' I wondered what that yung feller had to hold his hed down fur! Well. I think we taut them somethings around there, fur they would slip In every one tn a while to see how we made lite bred an' how we peeled apples with ma sheens, an' dried bushels every day in the dry house, an' how we put up crates of froot for St. Louis, an' how our stoves "worked." an' other things. Then we hunted up an old preecher In town, an started a meetin' in our house, an' a post 0ffls an' the name of It is on the map vet Then out In the hurrycane trak it was a mile wide, an' all the trees a-lyn flat a pinten to the south east we started to bild our own kind of a skule house. We could get all the lan' there we wanted at a dollar an akre. with all the wood an' huckleberries an' mounten laurel an wood ticks throwed in! There was no end of cherry lumber an walnut lumber an' yello pine an' ceder. an' hlckrv, an' white oke fur bucket an barrel staves. If It was once sawed. We hed a good meny plans fur gettin rich before we went back to the states, but when the froot money com in we thot we best make It a shure thing an, go while we could, but after we got away once we hav alius had a noshun of goin' back an' takln" frends enough to civilise that contry our own way. an' by-n-'-by, when there comes a dull an' disinterestin" time I haJl trv to agitate the matter, as I nometime ttreem I here them moken birds an' whipoerwills yet.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1900. PARIS FASHION LETTER. 5 3 PARIS, July 21. Parisian women do not take to the new Ladysmith hat. A few English women who are here appear in them, but for the French type of face they are utterly impossible. A fresh faced young girl or a handsome woman of the most un deniable chic may dare one without dis advantage to her appearance, but then these tvnes could wear anything. The utilitv of the hat is not to be gainsaid no hat put upon' the market In recent years is so serviceable for outdoor wear, for it may be turned down in the front to shade the face and in the back to shade the neck, if so desired. The hats are made of coarse straw, which allows the air to circulate freely over the head. They are so inexpensive, with their simple trimming, consisting of a scarf of silk or muslin, that th& Ladysmith hats, if they were more or namental, might hope to supplant the sailor hats, which have seen such long and hard service that most women are a little tired of them. The draped neckbands worn so much this season are often lightened by a foundation of wire, which makes them cooler to the wearer than they appear to the uninitiated looker on. The lined neckbands trimmed with lace or net and having a sailor tie in front are very much worn, but on warm days they are far from comfortable. The ac cepted cut for high stocks is with points under the ears. They may be worn with a bow in front, in the back or at the sides. Never have summer gowns of washa ble materials been daintier and prettier than "this season. Gowns of dimity made with lace trimmed frills are crea tions considered worthy the closest at tention of the kings of the dressmaking craft. Little sprays of flowers are sprinkled over the surfaces of. corded or dotted dimities, some of the cords being of the delicate shades of the flowers and charmingly decorative. Many new wov en white materials are being prepared, and there is a quite apparent effort on the part of manufacturers to hit upon something which will succeed to the popularity of duck. Butchers' linen in various colors and degrees of fineness Is being made into gowns, while piques, sateens, Bengal silks and surah poplins afford admirable effects. It Is so difficult to obtain anything really new and picturesque for the lit tle folks that I cannot refrain from mentioning a little white pique pelisse now being sent home from one of the shops on the Rue de la Faix for one of the little continental royalties. The garment is made with box plaits on a loose sack shaped foundation of the pique, which is divided by bands of muslin embroidered insertion. With this is to be worn a very large collar of pique and insertion. Older children wear very pretty frocks of book mus lin, with a deep frill of Valenciennes lace at the hem. insertions above and a yoke of muslin and insertion to match. A white muslin overall for a little girl, with front and back yokes decorat ed with rows of narrow frilled ribbon, makes a useful garment to wear over a tinted muslin slip or a woolen or silk frock on cold days when muslin robes are out of the question. About the round yokes a frill of soft lace should be sewed, and the. sleeves gathered in by cuffs trimmed with ribbon and lace. The bottom of the overall may be fin ished with a simple hem or with a nar row flounce of lace. The popularity of foulard remains un abated even into the "middle of the sea son. It is not only light and graceful, but it combines with other fabrics and trimmings to achieve notably fine ef fects. One very handsome model of foulard was made with a circular in stead of a box plaited skirt, a some what newer and more graceful effect. Three narrow flounces trimmed the lower part of the skirt. The bloused waist was furnished with a yoke, com posed of narrow tucks and bands of insertion, a collar of white cloth and lace framing the yoke. A silk bertha and a broad belt of foulard gave the finishing touches to the bodice. A very handsome summer dress for a young girl can be made of white silk batiste, one of the softest and prettiest of the summer fabrics. One of this sort I noticed the other afternoon at the entrance to the Palais de Luxembourg on a very smart damsel -who, while garbed in the accepted mode, did not strike me as Parisian and who, I after ward learned, was a famous American heiress. Her costume was of white silk batiste, made very simply', yet elegant ly, with lace and ribbon insertions. The use of striped fabrics continues unabated. At the races one notices many of the most striking gowns made of barred goods. Red and white striped silk, with a rich trimming of cluny lace. was one of the smartest of such effects recently worn by the Countess de Trevl dern, the great arbiter of fashion. The effect of the stripes was heightened by the novel use of black ribbons drawn through the lace. The high belt was of red silk and the white silk skirt was thickly trimmed with .fine gold braid trimming. The belts worn this season -are the extremes in width, either very wide or very narrow. The very wide ones are of the corselet shape and fit to the fig ure beautifully. Crepe de chine drawn through jeweled slldeaand having long sash ends behind is a favorite waist trimming. The latest fashion Is to have collar and belt to match. Even the tailor made gowns are showing the double sleeve. The jacket is made with a loose short sleeve of the cloth, through which the full puff ed sleeve of thfr blouse beneath shows with striking effect. Simplicity and beauty were combined in the dainty red and white foulard frock lately displayed on the shapely form of one of Redfern's models. The skirt was laid in narrow tucks, de scending on each side of the skirt from the hips, the bottom of the skirt being bordered with bands of lace, with nar row rows of black velvet ribbon above and below. The yoke and sleeves were entirely of tucks, the former partially hidden by a deep lace collar of a qual ity similar to that upon the skirt A shaped girdle at the waist was made of silk and bands of narrow ribbon velvet. No more do the modish dressmaking houses revel m striking contrasts; ev the coming winter evening and after noon reception frocks. One of the beau ties in silk was a handsome, embroider ed piece in mauve and green on a ground of white satin, The design was a curved spray that encircled a single five petaled flower. A second, suitable for evening cloaks, was of black satin brocaded with tiny flowers,' asters and marguerites alternating. A foulard silk exhibited quite a novel pattern in the shape of squares carelessly scattered all over the silk. This silk would be ex cellent in effect on the tucked skirts now worn. A superb brocade was of oyster white, with clusters of roses in mauve and green scattered loosely over the material. A very magnificent fab ric was the one of white panne satin, with embossed velvet and hand painted sprays upon its 'surface. An exquisite material for a matronly evening gown was the silk of black background with small white embroidered spots and slender, graceful sprays of spreading erything is restf ully harmonized. Even roses, with plenty of foliage. Outline NOVELTIES IN SHIRT WAISTS. Nevec before have there been so many and such attractive styles in shirt waists as are evolved this season to please and clothe the feminine world. The old monotony in shirt waists has entirely disappeared, arid there is sim ply no limit to the variations In design and decoration. There is every con ceivable kind and condition, from a simple cotton shirt to the most elegant model in real lace. The list ineludea tailor made styles for golf, yachting, beach or mountain wear en suite with simply made skirts of shepherd's check, squadron serge cheviot, Scotch tweedj etc. Smarter models for afternoon uses are of dimity, India silk, peau de sole, tucked India mull with wide revers and sailor collar formed by finer lingerie tucks and insertions of swiss embroid ery. Demidress waists to wear with skirts of white costume cloth, veiling, gray and beige mohair, eolienne or drap de chine are made variously ot plaited taffeta, peau de soie, liberty sat in and foulard silk. Lastly are the lovely creations for dress uses which are called shirt waists, but which are the most charm ing things that appear among the Im ported accessories of summer. Some oC them cost as much as complete cos tumes. Lustrous satins and silks are used In their composition, with lace bo lero fronts, silk embroideries, lace and ribbon insertions, crepe de chine or In dia silk scarfs and draperies, to say nothing of expensive buckles and but tons which complete some of the smart est French models. STUNNING FROCKS FOR SUMMER AFTERNOON WEAR. blouses and skirts are no longer cor rectly combined to form striking con trasts. String colored skirts are worn a great deal with blouses trimmed with lace harmonizing with this shade. Some of the new silks intended for winter gowns are being shown in a few exclusive shops. A peep at these gives excellent ideas of the charms of flowers in foulards and adaptations of geometrical designs seem to be most favored patterns for silks. Foulard is now one of the most popular materials in Paris, blue and red being the favored colors. The gowns are usually very simply made, generally princess style, with guipure trimmings and applica tions. CATHERINE TALBOT. Pretty Simmer Collar. The popularity of the silk waists as well as the regular shirt waists has brought out a vast array of neckwear. There were never so many pretty oddi ties and bewitching novelties for neck adornment as this summer.- There are shaped collars of thin crinoline, over which lace ties can be worn and which keep their shape for quite a time. Then there are the net and lace collars that are held in position by invisible wires. These are" shaped to be lower in rront than at the back, where they are gen erally finished in round or sharp points. Stock collars with a bow to match ara useful articles ot neckwear, for they) are so easily adjusted. .The chiffon, crepe de chine' or Taea stock collars that have the. necktie in the shape of a sailor knot can also ba bought ready to wear and finished so there is no need of tying a knot every time the collar is put on. The lace Ja bots are also very pretty, and there 13 a wide selection of lace barbs. The lat ter come in both cream and white laca and are long enough to go around the neck twice, with the ends crossing at the back and tied in front in a bowknot. Tie of All Sorts. Crepe de chine and chiffon scarfs wltli fringed ends are worn as "twice around ties." They may be used without a separate stock by having a wired collar of firm white net, unlined. This sup ports the tie and prevents it from wrin kling. Handsome fastenings are used for these long scarfs in many cases, and really good lacepins of the old fashioned kind have emerged trium phantly from their long seclusion in the Jewel box. In simpler ties the but terfly bow of tulle or mousseline, edged with narrow lace or velvet ribbon, is popular. The "bat wing bow of silk is also liked. There are, too, stocks of tucked silk, the ends finished with tassels, Which are one of the newest offerings in the department of fashion able neckwear. I SUWieR FLOW6K J 1 SHOWS. F LOWERS have never been so pop ular in this country as now. Al most every owner of a small sub urban residence has a predilection for the raising of some particular plant, In the cultivation of which he fancies he excels. Every housewife has her fa vorite window or porch plants, to the promotion of whose growth she is de voted in hours of leisure. One cannot take a summer population anywhere and not find a majority of people de voted to amateur flower raising. It is our English cousins that have shown us how much pleasure may be derived from this pursuit. The English have a pleasant way of stimulating in terest in floriculture in rural neighbor hoods by a plan which at the same time yields a great deal of social amusement, and is very often a means of raising money for some charitable object. This is done by means of the flower show, and in America, where al most every method likely to lure the reluctant dollar from the public pocket has been tried, the flower show is well worth an experiment. In England the flower show is gen erally held In a public hall or in the schoolhouse, not far from the grounds of some country gentleman who is, as a rule, one of the officers of the local floriculture society, to which aU the gentry of the neighborhood belong The grounds of the aforementioned officer are, between the hours of 3 and 7 o'clock, thrown open to the public The host and hostess and several of the great ladies of the county are stationed near the house to receive their guests and about 4 o'clock refreshments are served in the house to a select and in vited few. For the villagers more sim ple viands are provided under the trees A band of music plays, and about 6 o'clock the prizes are distributed to those who have won the awards at the flower show. In America the form of the English flower show would need to be consid erably modified.. If for the purpose of raising money for a church or hospital or school fund or for the benefit of Uncle Sam's soldiers or sailors, it might be held altogether on a lawn, long ta bles under an open tent being used for the accommodation of the flowers. A fee is charged for admission, this being the source from which most of the profit is derived. When the show is for the benefit of a church or public institution, it is quite easy to induce prominent merchants to donate prizes to be distributed to the owners of fine plants or flowers. As interest in the show, will depend upon the beauty of the display of flow ers, all the leading florists and flower growers of the neighborhood should be asked to send specimens in competi tion for prizes. The enterprising florist who is always on the lookout for a means of advertising the excellence of his goods will be glad to send plants and specimens under the care of one of his employees, who will be responsible for their condition while they are ab sent from the shop or greenhouse. The assistance of the florists and nursery men in advising how the prize 'list ought to be arranged should be sought. Separate prizes should be given to pro fessionals and amateurs. Prizes should be offered for the best home grown flowers of different kinds, and an ex- round man, if the grounds are large, might have a portion of the lawn for his machine. Flower sellers, with small boutonnieres, will be able to profitably sell their wares at such an affair. As many people will be modest about competing for a prize, they should be urged to send their flowers in order to the trees. Part songs, serenades and mandolin and guitar music sound well on such occasions. If the flower show has been planned some time in advance, the chances of Its success are always better. The con ditions under which the prizes are giv en should be that the flower has been In some localities, where many per sons are interested in the growth of a particular flower, a chrysanthemum, orchid, rose or peony show may be held at the season when these flowers are at their best. Of course, other flowers may also be exhibited. In the summer it is so hard to find hibit grown especially by children would be interesting. Many of these who have sent flowers will donate them to the charitable object for which the show is given, and they may be then sold to visitors. Music should be fur nished by a band or a string orchestra, and in the evening the grounds and the tent where the flowers are exhibited are lighted by Japanese lanterns. Lemon ade and refreshments may be served lor a nominal sum, and the merry go PRETTY ARRANGEMENT AT A FLOWER FETE, add to the beauty of the exhibit. If the show Is given for a good cause, not many will refuse this plea. In the even ing a programme of vocal and instru mental music may be presented under planted by the exhibitor or has been in his or her possession a long enough time to show the effect of good care; The show may be given indoors, but it is thus scarcely ever so attractive. any way of raising money for charita ble enterprises, save by the old fash ioned lawn or garden party, that the flower show presents itself as a novel and interesting form of entertainment for this season. AMY SCHUYLER, When a skirt is old and limp, a simple expedient will give it a new lease of life. Brush the material well and remove any spots. Sponge the, lining with hot water, starch and iron it. The result will prove most satisfactory. HINTS FOR THE TOILET, Try the effect of adding sea salt to your warm bath at night. It will re fresh you wonderfully and help you to sleep well. Let the hair be loose at night, for pin ning or plaiting it up tightly, by re tarding the circulation of the blood, is apt to injuriously affect the growth of the hair. Perfumed gloves -are liked by some women. Mix together four drops of ex tract of ambergris and two ounces of spirits of wine. Apply to the inside of the gloves with a linen rag or piece of sponge. A harmless rouge is found in the juice of the beet root. The practice of arti ficially coloring the cheeks is not to be recommended, but if people will rouge beet root has the advantage of being simple and safe. After taking medicines brush the teeth. After taking quinine or iron in any form it is well to use a little car bonate of soda as a dentifrice. This precaution will prevent the teeth being stained or their enamel injured by the acid used to dissolve the drug. A useful lotion for the complexion when the face flushes uncomfortably is made of simple tincture of benzoin, one dram; tincture of hamamells, four drams; rosewater, one and a half ounces. Apply to the face night and morning and before going out. Wind and sun burned faces are often very painful. Ease is best secured by protecting the skin from the air. This may be done by an application of white of egg, lard or of Carron oil. The last remedy should be found in every house, it being invaluable for burns and scalds. It is made of equal parts of linseed oil and limewater, shaken to gether so as to form a cream. Braised lies; of Lamb. Put a small leg of lamb into a sauce pan containing two ounces of melted dripping and let it cook over a quick fire for eight minutes; turn the meat and brown it evenly on the other side. Then pour in sufficient weak stock or water to partly cover it and aad two onions, sliced, a turnip and a carrot cut up, a sprig of fresh mint, a bunch of parsley and a little muslin bag con taining a dozen peppercorns, a blade of mace and two cloves. Cover the pan and let the meat sim mer for three hours, if possible, in a moderately hot oven. It should be basted frequently and turned after jthe first hour and a half. When done, re move the meat from the pan and keep it hot; pour oft as much of the fat as possible from the liquor in which it was cooked, then thicken it with corn flour which has been smoothly mixed with a small quantity of cold water, and, after coloring the sauce a rich brown and seasoning it with salt, strain it over the meat and garnish the dish with green peas which have been cooked separately. BREAKFAST. Fruit. Egg Toast. Curried Kidneys, Saratoga Potatoes. Parker House Rolls. Preserves. Coffee. CURRIED KIDNEYS. Make a good curry sauce. Cut the kidneys into dice and stew then) in the sauce for two hours. Serve with- nice rice boiled in fast boiling water for 14 minutes. LUNCHEON OR TEA. Fruit. Crescent Rolls. Creamed Lobster. Creamed Potatoes. Egg and Lettuce Salad. Whipped Syllabubs. Tea or Cocoa, WHIPPED SYLLABUBS. Take half pint ol thick cream, juice and rind of quarter of a lemon, three whites of eggs, powdered sugar -to taste and, if liked, one tablespoonful of brandy. Mix the brandy, lemon juice and rind together with; the cream. Sweeten to taste. Whisk the white of the eggs; add lightly to the cream. Whisk well (probably half an hour), taking off the froth as it rises and laying it on a hair sieve to drain. When all the froth has risen, have ready soma custard glasses or cups filled about quarter iull with any wine or well Savored custard. Fill U0 the glass with (roth and serve. DINNER. Fruit. Lobster Soup. j Escaloped Tomatoes. Celery. Stewed Corn. Crab Salad. Boast Mutton. Baked Potatoes, Lemon Pudding and Sauce. -Coffee. LEMON PUDDING AND SAUCE. Take lem on, six ounces of bread crumbs, two ounces ol flour, four of beef suet, a teaspoonful of baking; powder, two of citron peel, three eggs, two ta blespoonfuls of castor sugar. Chop the suet fine ly; mix it with the flour, bread crumbs, baking powder and sugar; add the chopped citron peel, the grated rind and the juice of a lemon. Beat up the eggs with a gill of milk and moisten the pudding with them. Boil for three houra in ft well buttered pudding mold. For the sauce grate the rind of a lemon; put it with the juice and two tablespoonfuls of fine sugar in a Bmall enam eled saucepan. Mix half a teaspoonful of corn flour with a gill of water, add to the lemon, boil up and serve with the pudding. Washing Decanters, To prevent wine stains from marking the inside of decanters fill the bottled directly they are drained of wine withi warm water and shake them briskly. If the dregs are allowed to remain any length of time, it will be more difficult to clear the glass. Obstinate stains in glass bottles, whether due to wine or anything else, need something mora than water to remove them. Shot ia sometimes used, but this is too heavsi for very fine glass, which is better treated with crushed eggshell or pellets of brown paper. Whatever is used must be shaken up and down inside the bottle of water, and the friction will emove the stains.

MAOEE, Topeka, Kas. The Last of the White Wine From the Chicago News. The clock struck 7 and the farm of old Father Boileux seemed to wake from out the misty sleep of an autumn night as the sun with its first warm ray pierced the heavy shadows. Long be fore daylight the men had left for the vineyards, moving and talking with the softness enforced by early morning darkness. Now two women clattered out from the house in their heavy sabota ana Degan feeding the chickens in the yard. A peacock, the pet of the place, stepped about on the outskirts of the noisy crowd of poultry. The sudden apparition of the sun seemed to put heart in everything. The cocks crowed, the cattle in the long sheds lowed, the dogs barked and the two women toesed their grain wider and sung a peasant's song. It was as though autumn had borrowed a day out of summer and a fete day at that, the air was so soft and mild and the sun so bright. Before the door, his pipe in his mouth, sat old Father Boileux. He was wrinkled and gray and bent and looked older than ever in the- searching light of the sun. Any one who had seen Boileux the spring before would have been shocked at the suddenness with which old age had come to stay with him. To be sure, he was 70 years old, and had borne his age well until a few months ago. It was the death of his wife, people said, that had changed him. She had been a splendid manager and since he had had to manage everything without her ad vice several misfortunes had come to him. He had twice sold pieces of land which he said he was forced to do to make up for the extravagances which went on within the house. Of the profit in ine sales he said nothing. In his heart he knew it was not the death of Mother Boileux that was harassing him day and night, that was seaming his face with deep lines and turning his hair from gray to white. Father Boileux rose from his seat and shambled toward the barnyard, where he inspected everything with the sharp eyes of an owner. Returning he stood a moment in the door and gazed over the fertile fields of his farm, sloping gently down to the river and dotted with fruit trees, while away to the south lay the small vineyard which he prized above all his possessions. But today, as he looked over his land from his slightly elevated position, his eyes re mained unlighted over what for years and years had brought a sparkle to them and his heart failed to glow with its old sense of proud possession. With a sigh he turned and entered the house. A woman came from an inner room and stood looking at him a little cur iously. It was Martha, who had kept house for him since his wife's death. He was a little afraid of her eyes, it would seem, by the way he avoided meeting them. "Well," he said, "how is she this morning?" The woman shrugged her shoulders. "As weak as ever. The night has been very bad. Tossing and turning and wakeful," she answered, watching the effect of her words. "You overdo everything. Tou make it worse than it' is," answered the old man. "Come and judge for yourself," Mar tha said. He followed her into the adjoining room. Here the light had not yet pene trated and Boileux stopped, arrested by the sound of heavy, labored breathing. Martha parted the window curtain and the old man's anxious eyes rested on a pale little face surrounded by soft brown hair which lay on the pillow in the big four-post bed. The eyes were closed and the lids were tinged with a shade of violet as though the color beneath shone through. As they stood there the figure outlined beneath the white spread was shaken by a cough. "You see." murmured Martha, drop ping the curtain. "Send Jacque for the doctor," replied the old man, returning to the kitchen. "Always the doctor!" said the wo man. "You know well enough there is only one doctor who can cure Marie." "I forbid you to talk of that! It is your old woman s nonsense. The child is siok. She needs medicine," but the old man's voice quavered and hi hands shook as he spoke. "I will have it on my conscience if I keep silent," said the woman fiercely. "She is not my child and yet I cannot see her life slipping away without doing all I can to prevent it. You hold the power to restore her health and you will not use it, because you love your money and your land and your own will more than you love your daughter!" "Send for the doctor!" cried the old man, "and get out of my sight!" Left alone he sunk in a chair and buried his face in his hands. For the thousandth time the situation resolved itself before his mental gaze. The preceding summer Bolieux had had a quarrel over the possession of a part of his vineyard which encroached on his neighbor's territory, and when the case was taken to law he lost it. This was a terrible blow to this old man, who had worked all his life to enlarge his farm and who had no am bition beyond holding his land and growing rich from it. To lose a piece of it was like losing part of himself. Immediately after this Claude Michel, one of the richest men in the province, proposed for the hand of his 18-year-old daughter, Marie. The father was delighted, as he saw a means of regain ing his loss, biit Maiie, when consulted, refused absolutely to marry any one but her old comrade and playmate of childhood, Robert Leroy, who had left his father's farm and gone to work in the bank at the village. The old man was furious at this un expected resistance. His daughter's de sire seemed to him of no importance compared to his own greed of gain. He argued and coaxed and then com manded, all in vain. Marie, who had come to bless the latter part of his life, suddenly turned in his eyes into an in strument sent to work him evil, to thwart his plans and impoverish his old age. AH remembrances of youth had long ago left him, driven out by the years of hard toil, and he had no sym pathy for the romance of a young girl's life. As Marie had sworn to marry no one but her lover, so had he vowed that she should marry no one but Michel, and tie left no stone unturned irs his effort to oppress her and force her Into obedience. Then Marie, who had a nervous, im pressionable temperament, fell a prey to. a slow sickness which defied the medicine of the village doctor. She grew pale and thin and listless and finally became so weak that she took to her bed. Consumption began to be whispered by the doctor before the old man thought of the possibility of giving in. He was torn by his inward strug gles. First he refused to believe that he had anything to do with the sick ness, then he railed against fate for bringing him to such a pass. In the meantime Marie grew weaker and now the doctor had once more been sent for. The last words spoken by Martha were still rineing in his ears when the doctor arrived. M. Rouvier said "Good morning" to the old man and without waiting for permission entered the room where the sick girl lay. The minutes passed and at the end of half an hour he returned and pulled a chair up beside the old man. "Marie Is very sick," he said. "Thereis something more than bodily illness the matter. You must tell what it is or I cannot be responsible for her life." Martha had entered and before the old man could answer she launched into a recital of the story. "Was it not my duty as a father to prevent her throwing herself away?" asked Boileux, when Martha had finish ed. "If you wish to perform your duty as a father send for Robert Leroy at once. That will be the first step. Then when she is stronger let them marry and send them to the south of France for the win ter," said the doctor. "You are crazy!" gasped the old man. "Do you think I am rich enough to send them away?" "You daughter's life depends on it." "But where am I to get the money?; whined the old man. "I am poor." Martha interposed. "Cadaux offered to buy the rest of the vineyard ,and for a good price, too." "But that means the end of my white wine," groaned the old man. "I can't give up my white wine. It's the best in the province." "You are a father as well as a vint ner," said the doctir. "Choose between your daughter's life and your vine yard." Boileux had become livid. A terrible struggle was going on within him. There was a long silence in the room and at last the old man rose and said in a thick voice: "Send Jacque for this Leroy and tell him to stop and say to Cadaux that I accept his offer!" and he stumbled from the room. Out in the sunshine the old man looked ten years older than when he entered the house.He walked with dizzy senses down across his fields to the vineyard by the river. The men were there at work, singing in the beautiful autumn sun light. He tried to realize that it no longer belonged to him- and the pain of the thought blinded him to the fact that he had gained his daughter's life instead. He sunk to the ground and remained there for hours. When he at last rose he was Stiff and bent and could scarcely walk back to the house. No delight at what he would find there pierced his heart. He had lost the last of his vineyard that was all his thought. In the house he found Robert Leroy and shook his proffered hand mechani cally. A strange numbness was stealing over him. A table had been pushed to Marie's bedside and a luncheon spread upon it. Marie's cheeks were slightly tinged with a reflection of their old col or and she seemed to have already gain ed strength. But the father did not see the change. He saw a bottle of white wine on the table. Leroy placed a chair for him and he sat down. Martha filled his glass, and Leroy, rising to his feet and lifting his glass, said: "To your health! And thank you for your kindness to Marie and myself!" The old man tried to rise, but failed. He raised his glass, then suddenly fell forward upon the table. When they raised him he was dead. He had given up his life direr his last glass of white wine. STICKING TO THEIIt GUN. From "The Siege of Ladvsmith," by R. J. McHugh. I watched from the crest of the hill above the battery, and again and again I saw our guns fired right out of the cloud of smoke from the enemy's burst ing shell. One gun I noticed in particu lar. A shell exploded, as I judged, right on the gun, and gunners and all disappeared from view. I gazed, fasci nated, through my glasses, expecting to see a dismounted gun and mangled men when the smoke had cleared away. But almost before the first shock of the ex plosion was over, (flash went the crim son lance of flame from the muzzle of the gun I had thought wrecked, and the shrapnel, aimed as true as if at peace practice, went smash into a group of the enemy, killing or wounding 15 out of 17 of them. It was a splendid exhibition of the coolness of nerve of our gunners, and was worth risking something to see. But it was not only one instance. Again and again did T notice shells bursting not a dozen yards from the battery, and the men went on with their work without even turning their heads to look at them. Surely it is an act of blind folly, or worse, for the officials at Pall Mall to insist of keeping such men armed with what is admittedly the worst field gun in Kurope, and one that is inferior in every point to the field guns used by the Boers.
