Official con firmation continued to pour in today that the allied armies had taken Pekin and that the legationers. were safe. The first dispatch came from Brigadier Gen eral Barry who had just arrived at Che Foo to become chief of staff of General Chaffee. About the same time the state depart ment received a cipher cable message from Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai, stating substantially the same thing as to the arrivaJ of the allied forces at Pekjn and the safe deliverance of the legationers. These dispatches to gether with those of last night from Ad miral Reraey and Consul Fowler dis sipated the slightest vestige of doubt as to the arrival at Pekin and the safety of the legations, but there is still an eagerness among officials for the details of the momenteous event. The Barry dispatch spoke of Pekin as being "taken" which to a man of military training clearly meant that it was not without a struggle. This tallied with the Japanese statement of fierce resist ance and a considerable number of cas ualties among the Japanese attacking party. Admiral Remey uses the expres sion that Pekin was "captured." It is therefore accepted among officials that an engagement occurred in the shadow of the great walls of Pekin. The war department as well as the navy depart ment is expecting almost momentarily from Admiral Remey, the details of this engagement. General Chaffee being at the front and in the midst of the trials at Pekin is hardly expected to be able to get thorough information with that facility which Admiral Remey can command. The admiral has stated that he had sent Lieutenant Lattimar, one of his staff officers, to the front for the express purpose of furnishing accurate information. His dispatch last night came from Tien Tsin, only eighty miles from Pekin and gave promise that wire communication with the front was open, at least in part. The Chinese minister, feeling that the crisis was relieved, took a day's rest, leaving at 10 o'clock for Chesapeake Beach, a nearby resort. Before leaving he provided himself with a bathing suit, intending to take a plunge in the salt water. He was accompanied by two of the members of his staff, and by one of the ever present detectives. Up to the time of his departure, Mr. Wu had re ceived nothing confirmatory or other wise, concerning the situation at Pekin, but he accepted the announcement from other sources as complete. He will re turn later today. With the allied armies at Pekin, and the legationers rescued, it can be stated that the Amer ican administration considers one of its most essential purposes has been achieved, and that it now remains only to carry out, with unreserving fidelity the purposes already clearly defined by this government. Although these pur poses were made known sume weeks ago in Secretary Hay's note of July 3, they now assume special importance in the light of the work to be taken up. Four distinct purposes were laid down in this declaration, viz: Thepurposecf the president is,asit has been therefore, to act concurrently with the powers. First In opening up communication with Pekin and rescuing the American officials, missionaries and other Ameri cans who are in danger. Secondly In affording all possible protection everywhere in China to Amer ican life and property. Thirdly In guarding and protecting all legitimate American interests, and. Fourth In aiding to prevent a spread of the disorders to other provinces of the empire and a recurrence of such disas ters. It can be stated authoritatively that the foregoing declarations standstoday as they did on the day they were enuncia ted. The government considers that the purpose enumerated, namely, "opening up communication with Pekin, and res cuing the American officials, missionar ies and other Americans, who are in dan ger," is now achieved. There may be details of this rescue still to be carried out, but doubt it entertained that the rescue will be accomplished. That leaves the three remaining purposes set forth, still to be carried out, and these are chiefly In the line of restoring order, quiet and security to the disturbed coun try. The intention of this.government as to the withdrawl of troops from China can not be stated at this time, and any state ment bearing on this point is conjectur al. The fact is, that the military situa tion at Pekin is yet to be closely devel oped by the advices from those on ground. What course is to be adopted concerning the troops will depend large ly upon these advices, and upon the ex igencies of the situation. It is stated that there can be no immediate withdrawal of the troops and those now on the way probably will relieve the troops that have been operating in China, at least to the extent of giving them opportunity to rest and recuperate. The fresh forces w-ill guard the line of communication between Pekin and the seacoast. Until information is received from Minister Conger and Gen. Chaffee, no definite steps can be taken in the nego tiations forcarrying out the purposes of this government in China. It will de pend upon advices from these officials as to where and when such negotiations will take place. RELIEF NEWS IN BERLIN. Berlin, Aug. 18. Thenews regarding the entrance into Pekin was further confirmed Friday by two telegrams re ceived by the Japanese legation in Ber lin, one dated August 14, saying that the allied forces were only ten li from the capital and the other briefily an nouncing that they had entered. This evening the German press ac cepts the fall of Pekin as a fact. While expressing joy at the happy discharge of one part of the China prdgramme, the papers point out that there is much left to be done. The Berliner Post says: "A great thing has been done, but a greater must be done before the allied powers will be satisfied. It remains to obtain redress for the attacks upon legations and other wrongs, particularly the assassination of the German minis ter and to install a government which will punish the guilty and give ample guarantees against the recurrence of similar crimes." The National Zeitung, the Freisen nige Zeitung and the Vossische Zeitung express themselves in a similar strain. Referring to a numeber of special dis patches appearing in German papers, which claim that the United States government, now that the members of the foreign legations are relieved, is about to withdraw from the interna tional undertaking, a high official of the German foreign office said this evening: "The Washington government has as sured the other powers of its willing ness to co-operate in carrying out a joint programme. This assurance has sufficed so far and will continue to suffice, in spite of newspaper stories to the contrary." John B. Jackson, United States charge d'affaires, whose attention has again been called to these specials, said: "The United States government has acted with the greatest harmony re garding China with Germany from the outset. In fact, up to Pekin the powers are all agreed, but beyond that no agreement has even been attempted. The future must be left to new diplo matic negotiations." Germany, beyond any doubt, is pre paring everything for an autumn and winter campaign in China. One strik ing evidence of this is the fact that a slow steamer has been chartered for December to carry to China material for a sixty mile field railroad. The correspondent of the Associated Press is informed by high autority that the Reichstag will not be summoned before October, unless extraordinary developments ensue in the far east. WHAT WILL BE DONE IN CHINA. Washington, Aug. IS. A cabinet offi cial said today that unquestionably the native Christians in China, said to num ber several thousand, will be included in any arrangement made between this government and China incident to the sessation of hostilities. At the present stage of the Chinese situation this subject has not yet been seriously discussed by the cabinet, but there is no doubt, according to this member, that the United States is in honor bound to protect them, and will sacredly look out for their security. "What will be done with them?" he was asked. "That has not been decided, but rest assured that in their disposition the hon or of the United States will be fully pre served. It may be arranged for them to go to the Philippines, or one of the many plates that are available may be ade quate. It was also stated that, while the matter has not been formally con sidered, the indemnity to be collected bv the United States will be not only for the families of the victims, but also proba bly to compensate this government for the expense it has been pat to in prose cuting the campaign. "It has not been a heavy expense, com pared to the Spanish war," he said, "but it will be sufficient, together with the in demnity to the families of missionaries and other victims and for all loss to pro perty of the United States government or of American citizens to make it a very serious, financially, in China." AMERICANS ARE ACTIVE. London, Aug. 18. While awaiting de tails of the taking of Pekin, the papers here again comment on the superior of ficial intelligence of the officials at Washington. The St. James Gazette says: "The relief of the legations may now be accepted without reservation. The Westminster Gazette attribuited the celerity of the American representa tives to the fact that the Americans are erecting field wires and have a staff of ficer assigned for the express purpose to sending news. RUSSIANS CAPTURE HAI CHENG. The following dispatch has been re ceived at the Russian war office in St. Petersburg from Gen. Alexieff "Port Arthur. August 13. General Fleischer, with a force of all arms, cap tured Hai Cheng, August 12. after three days fighting. The Chinese loss was 400 men and four guns Five hundred Chi nese retreated with eight guns." TEN MISSIONARIES DEAD. New York, Aug. IS. The Presbyter ian board of foreign missions in this city received the following cablegram today: Che Foo. Definite news via Tien Tsin missionaries Pao Ting Fu all kill ed. W. O. ELETERICH." Mr. Eleterlch is the Presbyterian board's member .at Che Foo. It was thought that the Presbyterian mission aries at Pao Ting Fu numbered three and that altogether there were ten foreign missionaries at that place. INDIANA AT TAKTJ. American Transport With Fifteenth. Infantry in Chinese Waters. Washington, Aug. IS. The following cablegram was received at the war de partment this morning from Brigadier General Barry of General Chaffee's staff: "Che Foo Adjutant General, Wash ington "Taku, Aug. IS. Indiana transport arrived on the 16th. All are well. Will go to front. Pekin taken lf.th. Lega tions safe. BARRY." The Indiana carried a battalion of the Fifteenth infantry which has trans shipped from the Sumner at "Nagasaki, gasaki. FIENDSJCAUGHT. Commissioned to Kill President McKinley. Italians Mareea and "VYeida Came on Kaiser Wilhelm. AN x ORGANIZED GANG. T Eleven Italians and Three Aus tralians Were Selected. All Have Been Detained By Emi gration Authorities. KNIFE AND PISTOL. Weapons to Use by Assassins Agreed Upon. Wrere to Surround President and Strike the Blow. PLOT WAS DISCOVERED Hatched at Anarchists Sleeting in Naples. Secret Service Agents Shadowed the Murderous Men. New York, Aug. 18. The Evening World today prints the following rela tive to the news received from Wash ington yesterday of the detention at the barge office in this city by secret service agents of Notabe Maresca and Michil Weida, supposed anarchists,who arrived yesterday on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. These two men are understood to have come to this country as conspira tors whose object is alleged was the as sassination of President McKInley. The Evening World says: "Instead of two, a high government official informed the Evening World to day that there are fourteen anarchists under arrest at the detention prison of the bureau of immigration. They are all charged with being in a conspiracy to assassinate President McKinley, and have been taken single and in pairs from incoming ocean lines within the last ten days. "United States sec-ret service agents learned that an anarchist circle in Naples had cast lots to determine who should be the assassin. Eleven Italians and three Austrians were selected. Closely followed, they sailed for differ ent ports. Their object was to strike individual blows at the uresident at the same time. That would make suc cess sure. "As fast as the men arrived secret service agents disguised as emigrants, went among them and they were ar rested. Maresca and Weida, caught yesterday, were the two of fourteen. "The conspiracy was made on a night early in August. By working with the Italian police the secret service agents got wind of a great meeting of the circle in Naples. The men selected for the work in this country were quickly notified what they were to do.separated, going singly or in pairs to different ports in Europe. Some went to France, others to Germany, while still others crossed the channel to England. Step by step they were followed to the gang plank of steamers. "The fourteen are now detained by the emigration authorities and are either at the barge office at the battery or the detention quarters at quarantine. "One report is to the effect that some are in Ludlow street jail, having been taken there from Ellis island in order to thwart any attempt to rescue them by Paterson anarchists." So far as known, according to the Evening World, the plan was for each man to proceed to Washington at once on a certain day. They were to sur round the president and await an op portunity to strike. The blow was to be by a pistol and knife. One of the number it was certain would be suc cessful. The question of escape was not considered, the men being willing to sacrifice their lives for their principles. The two men who did not meet their fellow anarchists were Maresca and WTeida. Chief Wilkie of the secret service di vision of the treasury department had his agents at the pier when the steam er docked. The two men did not come in the steerage as did the others. Maresca came as a steward in the steer age and Weida as a coal passer. They could have landed without going through the formality of the barge of fice. When Maresca boarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II at Naples. August 7. a secret service agent was close on his heels. Maresca professed to have no money when he boarded the steamer and made application to be taken as cook. Failing in that he asked for a stewardship. There was a vacancy in the steerage cabin and he secured that. It was not known that he had a companion. He and Weida did not come aboard together. As far as is known no one saw Weida come aboard and he was not discovered until six hours after the vessel sailed. When found he was secreted as a stowaway. He was put to work in the hold with the coal passers and kept busy until the boat reached quarantine. The Kaiser Wilhelm touched Gibarltar August 6 and then sailed for New York. It is not known that either of the men saw the other during the eleven days of the run. On Wednesday morning last the steamer was boarded at quarantine by secret service men who asked to see the steerage and cabin lists and the ship's roster. First Officer Lanz took the de tective forward where they could see the crew. Purser Meyer remembered record ing the name of Maresca at Naples and Maresca was identified by Meyer when the former was brought out for identifi cation. Maresca professed to be unable to understand English. After looking Maresca over W. P. Hazen, in charge of the secret service bureau of this city, said: "I think that is the man." Maresca was sent below when the ship was docked. When the liner tied up at her pier, 'Maresca was informed and he was under detention. He was asked where his baggage was and replied in Italian: "Weida has it." This was a new lead and Weida was summoned from his work at the furnace and questioned. He professed not to un derstand English, but admitted that he had trunks on board. The baggage will be carefully searched today. So quietly were both men taken from the liner that none of the crew or passagers knew that an arrest had been made. Chief Hazen admitted today that the two men were supposed to be anarchists and confirmed the story of the plot hatched in Naples in August, to kill President McKinley. Further than this Chief Hazen declined to talk, on the ground that he was in communication with Chief Wilkie, in Washington, who had asked that all news concerning the suspects come from him (Wilkie). Chief Wilkie is quoted as saying: "The two men are not arrested. They are simply detained at quarantine. They will be de ported when the Kaiser Wilhelm goes back to Europe. It is true that on Aug ust the 1st, this government was advised from Naples, that Maresca had left Italy for the United States with the purpose of attacking the president. It was said that the man was a most undesired im migrant. I may have a more interesting story to tell later." Chief Hazen was interviewed at his office in the federal building today. He refused to give the technical charge on which Maresca and Weida are detain ed. He further said that Maresca is a typical anarchist. A number of papers in Italian were found on the two men and have been turned over to Commis sioner Fitchie. No weapons were found on either of the men. Captain Howard, supervising inspector of the contract labor bureau, has charge of the suspects during the absence of Im migration Commissioner Fitchie and Deputy Commissioner McSweeney. Captain Howard refused to allow any one to see the prisoners and said that no Italians had called to inquire about them. Maresca and WTeida spent Thursday and Friday nights on the Narragansett, which is moored off El lis Island. Yesterday they were kept in the detention pen of the barge office. About 10 o'clock Antonio Weida, who says he is a brother of the detained Weida, and who lives in this city, call ed at the barge office accompanied by a lawyer and asked to see his brother, but permission was refused until the wife. 'Sm t v. Ex-Secretary of State Calab two detained men had been before the board of special inquiry, which will meet today. Antonio made the follow ing statement: "My brother, father, mother, sister and myself all lived at Sorrento, near Naples, until four months ago. My brother and I had been soldiers in the Italian navy. When I came to America four months ago he was in the navy. I did not expect him on this boat, al though I knew he intended following me to America. I did not believe he ever belonged to any anarchist, social ist, political or secret society. He was never imprisoned nor arrested to my knowledge. We have no relatives in this country, except an uncle in this city. I am positive my brother knows no anarchist in paterson or New York." A SIMPLE FUNERAL Ingalls Family Declined to Have Body Lie in State. When Senator Plumb died the body was held in state at representative hall. Attorney General Godard wired the In galls family for permission to place the remains of the late senator in state at the capitol, but the request was de clined. Senator Plumb died in Washington and the body was taken from the train in Topeka. A similar plan was con templated in honor of Senator In galls, but the family demurred. Rev. John Henry Hopkins, a friend of the family, now an Episcopal minister in Chicaeo, will conduct the funeral which will be simple. The casket will not be opened for the public gaze. The remains of ex-Senator John J. Ingalls passsd through Topeka Friday en route from Las Vegas, New Mexico, to Atchison in private Pullman car "Chemnitz." The remains weer accompanied from Las Vegas by Mrs. J. J. Ingalls and her two sons, Sheffield and Ellsworth. They were joined in Topeka by Dr. E. G. Blair, a son-in-law.

Mail advices from Yokohama, Japan, contain the fol lowing story in connection with the stranding of the battleship Oregon on the Chinese coast recently. The Chinese cruiser Hai Chi, com- Powers, Convicted of Murder. manded by Captsdn Sah, a thoroughly westernized officer, on her way from Taku to Che Foo described the Oregon in her perilous plight and offered hr valuable assistance which was most gratefully received by Captain Wilde. The Hai Chi anchored close by to be of further use if needed. The next day a Russian cruiser came along. Her com mander coming aboard the Oregon eyed the Chinese vessel with suspicion and asked what she was doing there. On be ing told he shook his head and sad it would nevertheless be his duty to take possession of her. Captain Wilde nodded and answered: "Well, I'm a bit embar rassed just now but there is ammunition aboard and my guns are in excellent condition." The next day after the departure of the Rusisan, Captain Wilde visited the Hai Chi and suggested to Captain Sah that as he was protecting some refugees on board it might be well for him to run up the American flag to the fore. This was done and no questions were asked by passing cruisers afterwards. OUT OF POLITICS. Typographical Union Kills Re cent Action Measure. Milwaukee, Aug.19. The International Typographical union today reconsidered the proposition of Delegate Bandlow, of Cleveland, bearing on politics and which was adopted yesterday. The measure as reconsidered was killed, the vote being two-thirds against its adoption. The proposition called for unit action of the I. T. U. upon the political field and the severingof all membersof their affiliation with all political parties of the exploit ing class. The case of photo-engravers union No. 1 of New York city, which was sus pended for non-payment of dues was finally disposed of. The photo-engravers must pay all arrearages amounting to about $2,000 to bring it in good standing after which the case will come before the executive council for final adjust ment. The photo-engravers claimed about $5,000 in sick benefits which was not paid because the union was not in good standing. The convention will close this evening. A resolution of interest to publishers throughout the country was introduced by Delegate Hays of Minneapolis, and adopted as follows: Resolved. That it is the sense of the International Typographical union that subordinate unions should adopt concili atory measures at all times when chang ing their scale of prices and that before any change in scale of prices is adopted it should be submitted to all publishers who are interested. Also that the Inter national Typographical union when re quested shall allow a representative of the American Newspaper Publishers as sociation to be heard on important changes in the laws affecting their interests. LONDONLETTER. United States Senator Chauncey Depew Sails For Home. Be Has Discovered Some Things About Finance. NEW YORK THE CENTER Says American Metropolis Will Soon Rival London. European Cabinets Now Reckon With United States. Copyright, 1900, by Associated Press. London, Aug. 18. The tide of Ameri can travel is still strong towards Lon don. Many residents of the other side of the Atlantic, having exhausted the Paris exposition, are recuperating in England and the hotels frequented by Americans are filled this week as they have not been since the opening of the season. Coaching Is the delight of most of the Americans. Since Albert L. Johnson of Brooklyn, N. Y., drove his six horse coach through London there have been candidates for similar honors. Among the energetic young coachmen is Chas. DeYoung, a son of Michael DeYoung, proprietor of the San Francisco Chron icle. Incidentally, San Francisco is abundantly represented in London. Aside from Mr. DeYoung's party at a West End table were Mayor Phelan, Walter Martin and Peter Don ahue of the papal household. E. H. Butler, proprietor of the Buffalo News, another enthusiastic driver, has bought a coach as a birthday present for his son. There have been enough American electric railroad promoters at the Carl ton this week to carry through any scheme for rapid transit in London, which can be devised. T. L. Johnson of Brooklyn came from Paris Thursday and under the same roof were W. L. Elkins and P. A. B. Widner of Phil adelphia, who have since gone to the continent, and Edward Johnson, rep resenting the Edison company. Those gentlemen have been studying the cen tral underground railroad. Mr. Elkins informed a representative of the As sociated Press that he and his associ ates really had no definite plans for work in London, in spite of the fact that they have been in consultation with several of the city railroad owners. The outgoing Transatlantic steamers today are crowded. Senator Chauncey M. Depew sails on the American line Steamer New York. He ppent the last days of his stay here in examining tha new electric underground railroad. He has also been in consultation with Brit ish financiers, -who are specially in terested in the ability of he United States to make loans to Europe. The senator said: "The sudden development of our in dustries and the immense accumulation of money growing out of the fact that Europe is paying $600,000,000 annually for American products has not only brought the bank rate and call loans up one and two per cent respectively, but the western banks are now buying paper in the east, because there is no demand for money. The fact that half the British war loan (all if it had been permitted; was taken in the United States demonstrate these conditions which has already made New York one of the financial centers of the world. If these conditions continue and I have no doubt they will, New York will soon be a dangerous rival of London in financing the government enterprises of the world. "The rapid information we are ac quiring regarding the industrial condi tions of the world, the necessity of find ing a market for our increasing surplus products and also our active participa tion in the solution of the Chinese prob lem tend to make New York an active competitor in the schemes for the de velopment of the far east. It is a near possibility that the New York stock ex change will actively deal in many for eign stocks and bonds. The United States, with 3,000 miles of ocean from European governmental complications, will never take a militant part in the rivalaries. jealousies and wars of Eu rope. These very miseries, the wars, make the United States every year stranger as a financial factor and will, I believe, make New York the financial center of the world. "Up to two years ago the European cabinets took no interest in American diplomacy and finance. America was regarded as a granary in times of poor harvest on this side and as a dumping ground for surplus population. Now, no cabinet in Europe makes a move with out considering what is the position of the United States in the matter." GOLD AND FURS. Steamships Arrive "With Valuable Cargoes of Both, Port Townsend, Wn., Aug. 18. Two steamships arriving from Nome today brought nearly 600 passengers.

But Does Sot Encourage Friends In the Belief. His That It Will Be an Easier Fight Than Last One, New York, Augr. 13, Bob Fitzsimmons is built of durable stuff. A few nights ago hed emerged from on? of the most punishing fights of his career, Today at Bergen Beach he mixed it with Arm strong and Thome as -if -there were neither bruise nor blemish-about him. It was called "Children Day.'' There were a couple of thousand visitors In the pavilion where Bob sets to with his part ners. The boxers were on thejr mettle The ladies clapped their .hands at every deft movement. Armstrong lld better than Thome, He caught Bob one right handed cuff on the jaw, and Fitzsimmons was still feeling of the tender spot when the shades of nljfht were falling. Thome gave a, showy exhibition of ducking. Once he dui ked Into, that big, mottled left and became slightly dis couraged. In the wind-up pound Bob fondled Geoff's tar rather roughly with the right and Geoff claimed that some of the other fellows put Bob up to It. He sulked far the balance of the after noon. FIRST DAY OF SERIOUS WORK. It was Fitzsimmons' lii'st day of ser ious work since he began training for the contest with Sharkey. It showed that Robert's breathing apparatus is attuned to fast exercise. The knuckles of hia left hand are swol len and the flesh around his eyes Is puffed and discolored. By Monday he expects to be able to lay on again in the style that is dear to his heart. Last night Fitzsimmons did road work by the light of the moon. He intends to pursue this course as long as the warm weather continues. The early morninx hours he will devote to splashing in the tide. Among some of Fitzimmons' ardent admirers there is a disposition to be lieve that Sharkey will prove an easier mark than liuhlin. Fitzsimmons does not encourage their view of the situa tion. The sailor is a strong fellow and will require careful handling,' said Bob. "I may not tight him the way I fought Kuhlin. I'll defeat him just the same." Fitzsimmons has made his plans for the future. After his match with Shar key he intends to go into business In, Chicago. His pet scheme is to secure a lease of a piece of suitable property a few miles from the city and establish a condition farm. 'The idea is not a new one with me." explained Bob. "T have had this thins in view for a couple of years. I v iil make a specialty of buildine uo the con stitutions of gentlemen who have allow ed themselves to get into poor shape tnrougn lack 01 exercise or high liv- 'I may go in for developing athletes. too, but that will be something to attend to later. 1 have lots of good friends among the better classes in Chicago, and x oeueve mat when 1 have my place fixed up to my satisfaction and in good running order I will get plenty of pat ronase." Fitzsimmons Is Incensed at the resi dents of Bensonhurst. He thinks the re marks called forth by the purchase of a house for the Fitzsimmons family in the section mentioned unkind and uncalled for. The truth of the business is that it was Mrs. Fitzsimmons' affair and, not mine," said Bob. "She made uo her mind to buy a home for the children and ourselves and she wanted to keep the mius a. secret rrom me until all her ar rangements were completed. Then she was going to give me a uleasant sur prise. Of course, the newspaper talk let ma 10 on xne scneme ahead of time." PEOF. FITZ NOW. Lanky Bob to Make Boxers Out of Philadelphia Millionaires. Philadelphia, Aug. IS. Bob Fitzsim mons is to teach the Quaker youth to shoot, not with bows and arrows, nor yet with pistols and rifles, but with upper cuts, hooks, pivot swings and solar plexus shots. Young Philadelphia is to go into pugilisitc training; pugilism is to be the popular fad of the swell set and Pugilist Bob is to be the mentor. The pugilist will be the beau idni r,r tv, debutante next season, and a dislocated nose or a closed optic will be a blood red badge of courage, declared ontira: au fait. All this is the outcome of the dinner given on Monday evening last Mr. A J Drexel Biddle to Mr. Robert Fitzsim mons at the Bellevue. When itr.ir -a,imx brought Mr.Drexel Biddle offered a toast 10 ine great blacksmith boxer. It was Fitz's reply that gave the first inkling of mini was in store ror Philadelphia. Mr. Drexel Biddle in speaking of the scheme, said today: "Mr. Robert Fitz simmons is to establish and conduct a training establishment for gentlemen ex clusively business men fond or in need of exercise. An establishment situated in a rural district adjacent to Philadel phia to which gentlemen could walk or ride in the afternoon or evening. In the main, Mr. Fitzsimmons would propose to conduct a training establishment on such lines as the establishment of Mr Muldoon's near Xew York." ON AUGUST 25. Date of Fitz-Sharkey Battle Changed to Saturday Night New York, Aug. 18. The big battle between Fitz and Sharkey at Coney Is land will be decided on Saturday night, August 2a, instead of Friday, August 24, as was originally intended, Saturday being the date of the great futurity event at the Sheepshead Bay race track, which usually attracts thousands of vis itors from out of town as well as an influx of bookmakers and turf men from the Saratoga race meeting. The club managers after consultation with Shar key and Fltz decided to pull off the fight on Futurity night. AFTER PITCHER MILLER. Ted Sullivan is Dickering With. Jim Burns in Chicago's Behalf. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 18. Ted Sullivan is in this city, acting in the interest of President Hart of the Chicago club.with a view to securing Pitcher Miller for the National league team. Sullivan has been negotiating with Magnate Burns and Manager Stallings since early in the week, but without definite result. Miller is the best twirler on the Tigers' staff of slab artists, and Detroit is making a strong bid for the American league pennant. It would be suicidal, therefore, for Burns to sell Miller to Chicago at any price just at present, Dut some arrangement may be perfected whereby President Hart will have first claim on the pitcher s ser vices at the conclusion of the season. BIG BETTING On the Coming Big Fight Fltz is Pronounced Favorite. New York. Aug. IS. Betting has open ed on the Fitz-Sharkey fight, and on the neaa or wagers made ao far Fltm is 2 to 1 favorite. John Consldlne, who lost a wad on Ruhlin, is evidently hoping to get even on bnarkey. The bet was l,00O against 2,000 with a big steel man today, checks having; been previously posted to bind the bet. The money is now up, and Conaidine told a correspondent that he was willing to make two more bets of the same kind Jim Corbett was on Broadway for a few moments, having come up from Bath Beach to make some purchases.

HOW THEY FOUGHT. Official Reports of Details of Battle of Tien Tsin. Washington, Aug. 18. The navy de partment today made public the reports of Colonel Robert L. Meade and Major L. w. T. AValler of the United States marine corps, on the battle of Tien Tsin. Colonel Meade's report Is dated at Tien Tsin, July 16. After telling of the situation around Tien Tsin ami of trie uecision on July 12, at a conference held at the English ereneral's head quarters, to attack the city about, day break the next dav. the reoort. is de scribing the early fighting, in which the marines ana JNinth nfa.ntry tooH part. says: We reached the advanced nosition about 8 a. m. I took 180 rounds per man with me 100 rounds in the belts and eiphty in the haversacks- This is not sufficient for an all dav fieht. and as it grew toward night 'I began to be apprenensive or being left in the ad vance position in a fight where no oris oners were taken on either side, with only the bayonet to fight with. On the firing line the action was especially hot and the enemy's fire especially rapid ana accurate, and at about 8:30 a. m the enemy appeared In large numbers upon our left, among the grave mounds of the field in which we were, with the evident intention of flanking us, I made a turning movement to the left and rear and we drove them away. Later in the day, about 2 p. m., they agaun made a flanking effort, but at this time the infantry support of the artillery company was on the mud wall of the city and aided us by a cross fire. The effort of the enemy proved a failure and we drove them in. We remained in the trenches until about 8 p. m., when we received an or der from the brigadier general com manding to withdarw which 'was prob ably the most difficult action of the day. since the enemy had so well covered our position that their shots struck the crests of the trenches and threw dirt in our faces many being hit. "General Dorward ordered that the troops should sleep upon their arms that night and on the following morn ing to enter the city. The south gate had to be blown In by guncotton. 'The troops had had nothing what ever to eat on the 13th save the small luncheon which each man carried In his haversack. It was not expected when we started that the action would prove so long, but Geenral Dorwaxd, know- ins: the situation, kindly sent to the reservation for food and other neoes sarles and the bivouac proved a success and the men, although very fatigued, were ready for duty. On the 14th instant the south gate having been blown in, we moved into the walled city at about 6 a, m. "We found the city filled with dead Chinnmen and animals. No resistance was made to our occupation in the walled city itself, but an infantry fire was kept up by the Japanese lnrantry upon tna enemy who responded from the suburbs. Since then we have had undisturbed pos session of Tien Tsin city. "The American troops formed part of the front line of the British attack and so had more than their share of the fight ing that took place. The ready and will ing spirit of the officers and men will al ways make their command easy and pleas ant, and when one adds to that the steady gallantry and power of holding on to ex posed positions which they displayed on the 13th instant, the result is soldiers of the highest class. "We all deeply sympathize with you In the heavy losses you have suffered, es pecially with the Ninth regiment in the loss of their gallant colonel. E. H. Lis cum, while at the head of his men, and with the First regiment of marines in the death of Captain Davis, who met a soldiers- death in the very front of the fight. "I blame myself for the mistake made In the taking up of their position by the Ninth regiment, not remembering that troops wholly fresh to the scene of ac tion and hurried forward In the excite ment were likely to lose their way. Still, the position they took and gallantly stuck to all dav undoubtedly prevented a large bodv of the enemy from turning the right of the attacking party and Inflicting se rious loss on the French and Japanese. "Among many instances of personal bravery in the action 1 propose especially to bring to notice in dispatches the con duct of First Lieut. Smedley D. Butler, United States marine corps, in bringing a wounded man from the front under heavy and accurate fire. Lieut. Butler was wounded while so doing, but I am glad to learn not serlouslv. The regimental ad lutant. First Lieut. Henry Leonard, as Lieut. Butler was suffering severely, vol unteered to carry him out of the firing line. This gallant feat he successfully accomplished, but I regret to say was verv dangerously wounded In so doing. "The Ninth regiment was fighting some what outside of my sphere of action, so I am able to bring forward only one instance of personal gallantry in that reg iment, although, circumstanced as they were, fighting for about twelve hours al most alone and unsupported, and never giving back a foot of ground until di rected to retire under cover of the night and the fire of the naval guns, such in stances must have been very numerous. The one I would refer to is the bringing back to me bv the acting regimental ad jutant. Captain Lawton. of the account of the position of the regiment, across a wide and fire-swept space, and returning with reinforcements to guide them to his regiment when he was severely wounded. "The withdrawal of the regiment was a delicate military operation finely carried out. on which I congratulate Lieut. Col. Coolldge and the officers and men under his command."

The expedition will start from Paris. from there to Algiers, thence via Ghar- daia and Arawan to Timbuctoo and from there to Senegambia and back to Paris. As this country la a portion of the world that has not yet been invaded by the white man and his seductive fire water, it has been thought best to take a strong escort to protect the train from the Touregland other little known tribes of the desert; accordingly I have been selected to command the same. The convoy will be about three hun dred strong and will be officered like the American army. In other words there will be a battalion of three com panies of one hundred men each offi cered as our companies are. If you would care to take a captain s commission under me, I would be pleased to consider your application In a favorable light Indeed. My Idea was to get only military men In the expedi tion who had seen service, as it would pay to get only the best of men on such a trip. Or, if you have any ex perience in an artillery way, I would like to put you in charge of the quick fire rifle that will be taken along. Regards to your family.

The Denver-Pueblo Lines Will Be Pnt in First Class Shape. Denver-, Aug. 18. President Ripley of the Santa Fe railroad will affix his sis nature to the agreement providing for a joint use of the Santa Fe tracks between Denver and Pueblo by the Santa Fe and the Colorado Southern railroads. He was closeted all day with officials of the Colorado Southern railroad. 'The situation is peculiar," said Pres ident Ripley at the Brown Palace hotel last night. "I doubt whether there is one similar to it in any other part of the world. Here is the Colorado Southern, with tracks of its own upon which it must pay taxes, and which it must op erate.yet it makes a trackage agreement with another road over its line between the same points. The situation is furth er complicated by the fact that the Santa Fe uses the Colorado Southern terminals in Denver and the Colorado Rrmthprn uses the Santa Fe terminals in Pueblo. The Colorado Southern has its own terminals in Pueblo, which the two roads use jointly as a sort of freight storage yard. You can see that there is an immense amount of detail that is puzzling, and many things to take Into sonsideration. "The basis of the agreement will be the amount of use the track receives. The Colorado Southern will pay in proportion to the number and weight of trains it sends over the track. The year of experiment has helped us on such matters." Flans for the improvement of the line are maturing rapidly in Mr. Ripley's head. especially in view of the extra traf fic the road will have to carry perma nently because of the new agreement. We shall start immediately to put the block system into operation on the road." said he. "We shall have nearly 30 trains a day over the line and intend to handle the traffic in the safest man ner possible. The block system certain ly reduc es immensely the chances of ac cident. It makes it necessary for several persons to make a mistake before an ac cident can occur, though it relieves no one of responsibility. "Our blocks will be placed usually a station's length apart, though where stations are usually far apart, we may have to erect auxiliary towers. The semaphores will have three positions.full up for danger, half way down for cau tion, and full down for 'open tracks.' Three colors will be used, white, green and red. We have the block system in use on about 1,500 miles of track now and find it of great value." Mr. Ripley says also that it is the in tention of the railroads to make the line between Denver and Pueblo in every re spect as fine as possible. Stone culverta are now being put in wherever possible and all avooden bridges will be replaced eventually with steel structures. Ballast ing with slag will be begun soon. VETERANS WANT TOCOME WEST But Railroads Negative Proposition to Give Them Reduced Rates. Chicago, Aug. 18. Action taken yesterday by railroads directly Interest ed in traffic between Chicago and Colo rado points may serve to keep down the attendance of easterners and southern ers in this city at the time of the Grand Army of the Republic encampment. The roads negatived the proposition to grant reduced rates from Chicago to Denver, Colorado Springs and other common points of Colorado for the benefit of those persons who would make the western trip at the conclusion of the encampment. The proposition called for a rate of one fare plus Z for the round trip and a time limit of thirty days. Kastern railroad men say that a great many New Englanders and residents of the westernmost eastern states had been figuring on taking advantage of the low encampment rates to Chicago if they could continue their trip on to Colorado at reduced rates. The "turned down" proposition provided for the sell ing of the reduced rate tickets to the popular points in the western states on any of the five days of the Grand Army of the Republic' encampment. The east ern lines have authorized a limit of thirty days on their Grand Army of the Republic tickets, a condition which would make it possible for visitors to go from Chicago to Colorado for a week or two without losing the benefit of the low rate back to their homes. It is probable that some of the lines will take independent action and put the low rates from Chicago to Colorado points into effect for the benefit of those persons who have not had oppor tunities to go on the former home seekers' excursions. MAKING ENGINEMEN. Heavy Freight Business Responsible for Many Santa Fe Promotions. The Santa Fe has been calling into use all the power possible to get to move the heavy freight trains which are necessary by reason of unusually heavy business. During the spring and summer a number of engines were rebuilt or re paired and stored in the Sixth street round house for use on Just such oc casions as the one now confronting the road. To get crews enough to handle the engines it has become necessary toput on additional enginemen. This has been brought about by promotion. Jerome Navarre, George Brentnall. Lute Fur man, Irving Botkins, Howard Larkins, and Harry Zane have been promoted from positions in the round house to firemen. A corresponding number of firemen have been promoted to take charge of engines. ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR CARS. Santa Fe is Preparing to Test the New System. The machinery for electrically light ing passenger cars which are being built in the Santa Fe shops in Topeka, is being placed in order. The machinery, "which is known as the "Columbian system," has been placed in five cars up to date. It is being put to a test, and seven more cars will have the new appliances at tached. Of the twelve cars which are to be fitted with this machinery, two are din ing cars and the other ten chair cars which are being built In the Topeka shops. The chair cars are being de livered as fast as possible, but it will perhaps be six weeks before the order is completed. They are being wired as last as delivered. When the dozen cars are equipped the test will begin. The cars will be kept In continuous service for six months and if after the end of that time they are shown to be in good shape the system will be adopted and placed on all passenger cars on the system. The cost of the equipment is about $750 per car. CROOKEDEST ROAD ON EARTH. Great Difficulties Overcome in Build ing of an Arizona lane. Tucson, Ariz., Aug. 18. The Detroit company, a corporation controlled by the great Scotch copper factors, Phelps, Dodge Co.. is completing a narrow gauge road that will soon connect Morenci with Guthrie and the line of the Arizona and New Mexico railway, The new road, twenty miles in lefigth, is called the crookedest road on earth. It abounds in engineering problems. In an air line the distance from start to finsih Is only about ten miles. There will be four loops. Of the twenty-eight bridges, one is 104 feet high and twelve win average 62 reet. The grades are no less phenomenal. necessitating the purchase of specially equipped locomotives with drivers less than 2 feet in diameter. The engines are of sixty tons weight and are enor mously powerful, though slow. Hereto fore egress for the bullion product of the Detroit company's smelters has been Dy way of a 20-mch "baby-gauge rail way. The cars are whisked by minia ture locomotives through several long tunnels to the edge of the precipitous Chase Creek Valley. Then the cars are lowered down a half-mile incline by wire cable, later to be again picked up by a toy locomotive and hauled to the dumping bins of the Arizona company above Clifton. ADOPT TONNAGE SYSTEM. Missouri Pacific Freight Trains Will Hereafter Be Considerably Longer. Leavenworth. Auer. 18. The Missouri Pacific has increased Its engine tonnage about 600 tons. This only applies to the freight trains running between here and Kansas City and Atchison and means SO additional tons to each engine. B. W. Waynant, local Missouri Pacific freight agent, said yesterday: "I have received no official notification of the matter, but understand it has gone Into effect. At present the maximum ton nage is 1,700 tons. It only applies along the river where the road Is level and big loads are possible. Back in the hills the loads wil not be increased. 'At present a train of frelerht cars la reckoned by number, and 50 cars is con sidered a good average, isy tins system there is more or less lost energy and time. For instance there may be 50 cars in a train and not over half loaded to their full capacity, consequently as much time ana power is usea ior cars as would have carried 50. "With the new system so many tons will be given to each engine and no more nor less. This precludes tne possiDiuty of any such loss as is described in the foreeroine All the roads in this vicinity. that is, the Maple Leaf, Rock Island, Bur lington and Leavenworth, Kansas and Western acknowledge the tonnage system as the best and most of them use it." BONDS FOR STILWELL ROAD. Sedgwick County Taking Steps to Capture New Road. Wichita. Kas.. Auer. 18 Wichita is pre paring to submit a $30,000 bond proposi tion, while Sedgwick county will follow with one for SSO.OUO to be voted on at an early day. These bonds, when voted, are to be given to the Topolobampo Railway company when $200,000 is expended in Wichita lor snops ana, aivision neaa- quarters. Citizens of Murdock township say they will vote $2,000 per mile to have the line built through that township, while Lin coln township people say they will vote the same amount per mile.

While Charley Patrick was abroad he visited Monte Carlo. He wanted to say that he had placed his money on the green cloth at the famous gambling re sort. So he stepped up to a table and threw down a dollar. He didn't know exactly what he was doing, but a man with a rake raked it in. "Good by dol lar, thought Patrick. There was a slight commotion and the man with the rake shoved him back a $10 note. Pat rick won. What he played or how he won he doesn t know. He stopped right there. Another good story on the oily trav eler. He was crossing the water and fell In with a good natured German who invited him to refresh himself with a few beers. The German and Patrick went to the bar and had a few cool ones. On several occasions the Ger man invited Pa.trick to have a few beers and Patrick took them at the in vitation of the German. As Patrick was leaving the ship on the other side a steward stepped up to him and touched him on the arm. "A little bill for you to settle," he said. "What?" said the surprised Patrick, who always pays cash. "A bill of $4.60." "For what?" "For beer." "Why, I paid for all the beer I drank." "Not when you drank with the Ger man." -Well, he paid for that, didn't he?" "He paid for what he drank, but not for what was served to you." "But he treated." "It was a Dutch treat," explained the steward. Patrick paid the bill.

L. T. Yount used to be a farmer. He isn't any more. He is an election com missioner and a Royal Prophet in a lodge. This is how he lost his right to be called a first-class farmer. There was a sale at a farm in the country a few days ago and Yount thought he would attend. Some cows were to be sold. Now if there is one thing above another that Yount is "hefty" on its cows. He used to make and sell the finest butter that was ever bartered in the country, so he used to say. He went to the sale. A stock cow was put up for sale. No body bid. "How much am I offered? shouted the auctioneer. There was no response. "Huw much am I offered?" again shouted the auctioneer. Now Yount hated to see things going along so slow. He thought he would liven them up a bit. "I bid $35." he said. "I'm bid $35," shouted the auctioneer. "Do I hear $40?" No. He didn't hear $40 for he shouted again. "Going at $35." No response. "Once." Yount wished some one would bid. BRIGHT'S HON. JOHN T. SHEAHAN. Hon. John T.

G., writes the following letter from 3753 Indiana avenue, Flat Six, Chicago, 111.: Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Gentlemen-" "Last summer I caught a cold which seemed to settle in my kidneys and affected them badly. I tried a couple of kidney remedies largely advertised, but they did not help me any. One of my foremen told me of the great help he had received in using Peruna in a similar case, and 1 at once procured some. "It was indeed a blessing to me, as I am on my feet a large part of the day, trouble such as I had affected me seriously, but four bottles of Peruna cured me entirely, and 1 would not be without it for three months' salary." Yours truly, John T. Sheahan. Mr. Jacob Fleig writes from 44 Sum ner avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. "I had been suffering with catarrh for many years after my discharge from the United States service in 1865. I could get no relief from the many different proprietary medicines and doctors. I spent a large amount of money trying to be cured, but of no avail. One day I was advised by a comrade of my-G. A. R. Post to try Peruna. I did, and after using it for eight weeks I found myself wholly cured. 1 am now a new man at the age of seventy-five years, thanks to your wonderful remedy. "I can frankly recommend it to all suf fering with catarrh." "Twice." Yount felt like Ruhlin when he was counted out in his last fight. "Three." Yount was pale. "Sold for $35." Yount nearly fainted. He examined the cow. A bystander kindly explained to him that the animal was worth about $18 on the market for beef. Yount had paid a fancy price. He didn't want the cow anyway. He only hoped to help along the bidding. He hunted up the man who owned tne cow before he bought him. "I haven't the money with me," he ex plained, "and I'll just give you a chattel mortgage on the cow for $35." The man took it. Yount left the cow with him. The man has the cow and the mortgage. Yount is wondering how he will get out of it. A man walked Into a telegraph office and stood looking at the operator taking a long message oft the wire. He stood and watched. The operator wrote off a couple of sheets of type written stuff that was coming off the wire. The man who was watching him said nothing. He just watched. Finally he said: "Are you a telegrapher by trade?" The operator nodded and said. "Where are you from?" 'From New Jersey," was the reply. Chicago and Return $14.00 via the Santa Fe. Account G. A.

McQuillan writes from Spring Hill, Mo.: "Four years ago last fall my stomach, without any pre vious warning, refused to perform its functions, and I soon lost strength; food was forced through my stomach by using cathartics. Large blind piles bid fair to block all evacuation. My kidneys soon became involved, so that the scant and often painful void ings resembled beef's gall. With flesh wasted away, strength exhausted so that it took all my energy to even get into a bath tub, hopes all gone, I saw Peruna advertised. I wrote to Dr. Hart man, who told me that catarrh had possession of my head, throat, stomach and kidneys. "I began to take Peruna. In a short CARNEGIE AFTER PIG IRON Reported That His Company is Secur ing Control of Product Pittsburg, Aug. 18. The Post says: Control of the production of pig metal in this country is being secured by the Car negie company. It is seeking to buy all the big blast furnace plants In the United States. Its representatives now have negotiations pending for the pur chase of the plants of Haverly Co., at Buffalo; the Newburg furnaces, at Cleve land a plant at Carondelet, near St. Louis, and two others In the Mahoning valley. The fact that the Carnegie company has contracted for 16,000,000 tons of iron ore annually, when six millions will amply supply its present plants, Is taken as an indication that it expects to acquire other plants of sufficient capacity to use the re maining tonnage. With its facilities for getting ore, and the possession of blast furnaces of enough capactiy to turn all its ore into pig metal, it will be in a po sition to dictate prices and limit materials for all its competitors.

Power, of Emporia, Kas. My neierh mor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medi cine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for seme days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix; that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take an other dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured."

KIDNEYS time 1 ate nourishing food, and the piles, kidney trouble and constipation all disappeared. Flesh, strength and a splendid appetite returned, and I went to work." Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous lining of the kidneys, also called "Bright's disease," may be either acuta or chronic. The acute form produces symptoms of such prominence that the serious nature of the disease is at once suspected, but the chronic variety may come on so gradually and insidiously that its presence is not suspected until after it has fastened itself thoroughly upon it3 victim. The symptoms may make themselves felt so gradually as to escape notice for a long time.or manifest themselves sud denly and produce at once alarm. There is pain in the back and loins, at first slight, and occasional afterwards, be coming a steady, dull, heavy pain. There is more or less fever and restless ness, according to the severity of the attack. Also, among the early symp toms there is some disturbances of the organs of the abdomen, especially the stomach. At the appearance of the first symp tom Peruna should be taken in table spoonful doses six times each day; or. If more convenient, two tablespoonfuls three times each day before each meal.

Some cigars have a temporary large sale and then no one smokes them again. The Sportsman differs from these.

MUST STAND THIS How Overworked Governor's Secretary is Imposed Upon. People Take Advantage of His Renowned Good Nature. LATEST EXPERIENCE, Permitted Himself to Be Fondled by Drunken Man. Kansas Executive Office Re quires Police Protection. The office of private secretary to the governor la one which throws the occu pant thereof into close communication with a great many people, some of which are desirable visitors; others are undesirable, but there cornea between the two a class which is distasteful in the extreme and would not be tolerated at any place except In a public office where people may coma and go at their will. Henry Allen had an experience yes terday afternoon which illustrates the example of the nuisance which should not be tolerated. Members of the Kan sas commission, preparing to organize for the work of obtaining suitable repre sentation for the state at the ian American exposition at Buffalo, were engasim? the attention or Air. Allen. In the midst of a private conversation with some or the members there wad died Into the office a young man who indicated by his demeanor that ne was drunk or crazy. "1 want to sea the governor," lie bawled. "The governor is. out of town," said a gentleman standing near the visitor, Mr. Allen having been called into the private office of the governor. "Well, I want to see somebody here," said the visitor with a leer. Mr. Allen returned to the room at this juncture and he was detained by a rough hand on his shoulder, ana at tracted by a rasping voice which said: "I want to see the governor." "The governor," said Mr. Allen, "is out of town. I am hia secretary and will do all I can for you in a moment. I am busy now: take a seat. Mr. Allen proceeded with the trans action of business which he had in hand. The visitor went out into the other room, the third in the governor's apart ments and roused the stenographer. "I want to see the guv-ner." This he bawled out in Bowery slang, loud enough to be heard in the next room. Mr. Burns, the stenographer, repeated the information that the governor was not in the city. "Who is." grunted the visitor. "The private secretary is here and perhaps he can attend to your wants," said Mr. Burns. "Want to see him Quick," was the re- snonse. Mr. Burns, who was not aware of the previous incidents in this visit, called Mr. Allen's attention to hia visitor. "It's important," said Burn "The man says he must get away on a train." "What train do you go on?" paid Burns turning to the visitor who had pushed his hat over one eye and swag gered up to the private secretary's desk. In 10 minutes" le said. "What time does your train go?" ald Allen. "Santa Fe, 4:40." "It's 3 now," said Allen. "You've got nearly two hours. I'll be through in a moment." "You'll have to hurry, coz' I want to ketch a train." This he muttered as he fell, panting and perspiring into a chair. Air. Allen called the exposition com mittee to order and returned hoping the visitor had gone. He had, to sleep. Allen aroused him and announced iis willingness to be seen. "Shay," said the caller, "you hurried, didn't you." "Fast as I could," said Allen, edging away. "Shay, kid," said the visitor, attempt ing to put both arms around Allen's neck, "You're a nice boy." "Thanks," said Allen. "Shake, pard," said the man extend ing his hand. Allen took hold of the grimy hand as though it was a red hot poker and said: "(Jood by; glad you called." "Shay, kid," said the visitor giving Allen a Jolt on the shoulder "he's younger than me" said the visitor fondly, putting an arm around Allen's waist, turning the remark to visitors who were watching the proceedings. "Shay, kid," continued the visitor, "I want to see the guv-ner." Allen came near fainting because he got a whiff of the visitor's breath, tainted with whisky and beer, but he rallied and assured his whilom friend that the governor was out of the city. Then the visitor made a short circuit and grabbed Allen in his arms. "Oh, kid," he roared. Allen showed fight but he mastered the temptation and sought to get rid of the nuisance by diplomacy. Then a new thought struck the vis itor. "Shake, kid; shake hands iwith your podner." Mr. Allen shook. "(31ad you called," said Allen. "Come and see the governor." Allen started from the door to Which he had maneuvered Mr. Allen thinking how easy it was to dispose of an ob jectionable character. He had not well started until, in a voice that could be heard a block, the visitor said: "Shay, kid, d'ye see that button. I'm all right." The visitor had pointed to a button picture of McKinley attached to his necktie. "I'm all right," he yelled like a Co manche. "Uuess you are," said Allen softly. "Glad to see you're that Way." "What cho mean." "I mean I'm glad to see you are a Re publican." said Allen softly. "Shake kid; shake." This time the man got hold of each of Allen's hands. H did a sort of chasse to "the partners," then falling in a lim ber mass upon Allen's bosom, yelled: "I'm a Republican from the ground up." "Yes, yes." said Allen pushing his friend behind a door so as to have him out of sight of some visitors. "I'm all right." he said feebly slipping into a pile of helplessness on the floor. "Oood bye," said Alien returning once more in the direction of his desk. The effect was magical. The drunk came to immediately; sat up and said: "Shay, kid." "Yes," said Allen who wanted to laugh. "I want to shee you privetly." "All right." said Allen and he joined his friend behind the door which had screened them several times before. "Have you got a quarter?" "Yes." said Allen turning to one of his friends and borrowed 25 cents. "Here it is," said the private secre tary with a great show of philan thropy. "I want to see "He's out of town," said Allen who called a messenger and gave the visitor an escort to the Republican state com mittee headquarters. A friend of the committee officers telephoned them of what to expect so when tfaa man ar rived the place was vacant. NORTH TOPEKA.

BRYAN AT 10:30. Fusion Candidate For President to Come in Morning. W. J. Bryan will arrive In Topeka, August 23 at 10:30 a. m. This has been settled. A telegram was received by E. R. Ridgely, chairman of the Pouhst state committee, this morning from Mr. Bryan at Falls City, Neb., stating that he would speak in Falls City the even ing of the 22d and would leave there on the Missouri Pacific that night for To peka. The message stated that he would come by way of AtchiBon or Kansas City, Just as the committee decided. Mr. Ridgely answered telling him that the committee thought it best to come di rect from Atchison via the Santa Fe. This will put Mr. Bryan in Topeka at 10:30 Thursday morning. A reception will be given Mr. Bryan at the National hotel upon his arrival but that will be in the hands of the Populists and will be more of a political affair. The bands and the Topeka City Troop will escort the party to the Na tional hotel. Mr. Ridgely said this morning that the programme had not been fully arranged as the committee can not decide until later but the following arrangement has been suggested and it is likely that it will be carried out without change. The programme will open with music, after which Chairman Rldgley will introduce Justice Doster who will speak for 40 minutes. Following him, T. M. Patter son, chairman of the Populist national committee and of the notification com mittee will make the notification speech. Following this will come Mr. Bryan's address. The committee to select a site for the notification meeting have decided on the northwest corner of the state house grounds where a large platform will be erected. The platform will be 20 by 50 feet and will be 14 feet high. The exer cises will begin about 4 o'clock and may be a little earlier, the exact hour not having been decided upon. The commit tee decided upon the location because It is the shadiest and coolest part of the state house grounds at the hour men tioned. Mr. Bryan will leave Topeka for Manhattan the evening of the 23d at 8 o'clock. He speaks in Manhattan the morning of the 24th, at Marysville that afternoon and in Beatrice, Neb., in the evening. The finance committee Is meeting with splendid success as the people are wil ling to aid not for Bryan's benefit, but for the benefit of Topeka. The business men are taking a non-partisan view of the matter, the sensible view, and are going to do all they can to help the town make a good showing. The idea of dec orating has met with universal approval and the committee on decorations say that the town will be decorated in a manner befitting the occasion. At the Populist headquarters they are confident that the crowd will be larger than they first estimated and now put it at 30.000. They come to this conclu sion from the enormous number of let ters received from over the state asking for particulars regarding the meeting which letters generally state the num ber that expect to attend from that community. Mr. Ridgely Is anxious to contradict the report of the Kansas City morning paper which states that the meeting has been captured by the Democrats. As a matter of fact the Democrats have noth ing to do with it as It is the Populist no tification. He invited Mack Love to ap point 100 Democrats from over the state as a reception committee, who will act with the Populist and Silver Republican committees. This was done as an act of courtesy. The matter is entirely in the hands of the Populist state committee and they are being assisted by every body in Topeka who desire to have the city benefited. DEWETSpES.

Members of Board Will Their Share. Do Buffalo Show Attracting Atten tlon in the East. The Kansas commission appointed by Governor Stanley to represent the state at the Pan-American exposition at Bur falo, N. Y., has assumed the responsi' bilities of the work and has started out In an earnest effort to see that KanBas is creditably represented. The members of the commission be long to that class of Individuals known as "hustlers" and the determination to have a Kansas exhibit worthy of the prosperous times and the good name of the atate, was manifested yesterday af ternoon in the governor's office, when the commission, in response to a call from Governor Stanley, met to perfect a permanent organization and to plan for the work ahead. A majority of the commissioners were present. The meeting was called to or der by H. J. Allen representing the gov ernor. He said: "The governor called this commission together so that an organization and plans for work may be perfected. The meeting is in your hands." Mr. Allen Invited A. R. Taylor of Em poria, president of the state normal school, who with Mrs. A. H. Thompson of Topeka and Mrs. S. R. Peters of New ton represent the state as vice presi- h 'Safest m u YM? t -i IT- LESLIE T. RANDOLPH. dents appointed by the director general of the exposition, to preside. Air. Taylor presented some encourag ing letters and information from the authorities in charge of the exposition which, after being read, caused a unan imous expression of the hope that Kan sas will be able to secure a creditable representation. A Dermanent organization of the as sociation was effected by the election of Leslie F. Randolph, editor of the rJor- tonville News, president. Senator H. F. Sheldon of Ottawa, was chosen vice president and J. K. Junkin, editor of the Sterling Bulletin, secretary. C A Mitchell of Cherryvale was chosen treasurer. The above officers, with Mrs. A. H. Thompson of Topeka comprise the ex ecutive committee. W. H. Barnes, secretary of the Horti cultural society, was a candidate tor secretary. There was no opposition to Mr. Randolph for president. Mr. Jun kin received a majority of the votes on the informal and formal ballots for the secretaryship. The commissioners discussing the election of orncers expressed the opinion that the Kansas end of the exposition may be made a success by active and energetic work on the part of the offi cers. Randolph Is one of the recognized hustlers of the state and is enthusiastic on the matter of an exhibit from Kan sas. This may also be raid of Mr. Jun kin. Senator Sheldon is one of the recognized leaders in the Populist party of the state; he is conservative and in tensely loyal to the state and expresses the opinion that Kansas will be fitting ly represented. Mr. Mitchell said: "Kansas will be properly represented if we do the work which we have map ped out." President Taylor said: "It Is my earnest wish that this commission pros ecute to a successful termination the work which we have outlined so that Kansas will be, as she always is, among the gold medal exhibits. Kansas is a natural prize winner and with push and energy we can duplicate the feats of the past." Mrs. A. H. Thompson spent the win ter in Philadelphia. She said: "The Buffalo exposition is a subject constantly before the people in the eaat. In interest there It overshadows the Paris exposition and I have been in formed by people who are in close touch with the interests of the exposition that it will be one of the greatest events of the kind in our history. "Kansas should be well represented and I believe there is no doubt about a successful culmination of our labors if we are constantly at work." Mrs. S. R. Pters expressed a similar opinion. All the members present yes terday are enthusiastic in the work and planned to secure appropriations to carry on the work. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Chas. K.

Mr. Peltret was the mover of the resolution adopted by the Sedgwick county Populist con vention requesting I. P. Campbell and Claude Duval to resign their nomina tions for congress so that new conven tions might be convened for the pur pose of uniting on one candidate for congress in the Seventh district. It was stated in several newspapers that Jerry Simpson was responsible for this action, and that it was for the purpose of securing his nomination by the con ventions when reconvened. Referring to this Mr. Peltret said this morning to a State Journal reporter: 'Jerry Simpson has been accused or a good many things by his political op ponents, but this is tne is the nrst time he has been accused of Idiocy. Mr. Simpson had nothing to do with the resolution, although after its passage he expressed the opinion that It was a wise act. Mr. Simpson wouia, under no circumstances, acept a nomination for congress in the Seventh district. If he had desired such nomination he would have been a candidate before the Great Bend conventions." Mr. Peltret says that the populist congressional committee of the Seventh district has been called to meet in Hutchinson on August 21. He is of the opinion that it will take decisive action looking to a settlement of the congres sional muddle, and that the result will be that there will be but one candidate in the field against Mr. Long.

Burton Men Force Nomination of Objectionable Candidate. Run Band Wagon Over Anderson County Republicans. TAKE ANY ONE ELSE. That Was the Supplication of Anderson Men. Entitled to Name Candidate But Did Not Insist. The senatorial convention in the dis trict composed of Linn and Anderson counties' resulted in another row which seems to have, been precipitated by the Burton forces. It was Anderson coun ty's turn to name the senator, but the Burton delegation from Linn county selected the candidate, nominated him and then instructed him for Burton. The nominee of the convention is Samuel Crum. He is unpopular in Gar nett, his home, and the RepuDliean leaders in the convention made speeches against his nomination, asking the Linn county forces, which were managed personally by J. R. Burton to take some other man. Linn county's delegation was instruct ed for Burton. The delegation had 23 votes; the Anderson county delegation had 20 votes and was instructed for Baker. The Burton people had the convention in their own hands by this majority of three, but they made no concessions and forced upon the Anderson county Re publicans the nomination of Crum. Re ports from the convention which wa: held at Kincaid. state that the Linn county delegates were willing to make some concessions to Anderson, but Mr. Burton who was said to be master of ceremonies refused anything of that character. The Anderson county Republicans made no attempt to "evade or prevent the nomination of the convention by the majority which Linn county had. but the Anderson county forces wanted to select a man who was strong enough to carry the county at the election. They realized that the wagon from the Bur ton camp would run over them with instructions for the perpetual candi date for senator, but an effort was made to prevent the nomination of Crum, and the Anderson forces suggested and voted for J. B. Rhodes of Colony who is an acknowledged Burton man. This the Burton people would not accept but selected Crum of Garnett and nom inated him. J. H. Barnes, a Linn county postmas ter refused, as chairman of the dele gation, to permit the nomination of a man who had the endorsement of the Anderson county delegates. He sue ceeded in carrying his point and a man who was generally condemned by the A.nderson county delegates was selected. M. A. Carmichael nominated Rhodes and said: "If Linn county is earnest in its desire to nominate a Burton man why not accept Mr. Rhodes who is an acknowledged supporter of Mr. Burton and a strong candidate on account of his personal popularity. W. O. Knight called attention to the precedent long ago established and claimed that the Linn county folks were about to steal from Anderson the acknowledged right to name the can diuate for senator. "We are entitled to this privilege long ago established in this district and if we name a Burton man in a Baker county what more can you ask. J. G. Johnson of Anderson county made a speech in behalf of fair play. He said, among other things: "If Linn county insists on selecting the candi date why not take a Linn county man? Linn county knows more abou tthe pol itics of its own county than it knows about Anderson county, Anderson county, by the same law, knows more about her local affairs than Linn county does. If Linn county is not satisfied with the Burton candidate which we offer then let the county name one of its own men, but do not come over into our county and select a candidate for us to support, especially one who does not suit the rank and file of the party." Dr. E. S. Metcalf pleaded with Linn county not to nominate Crum. "If the man Anderson county presents is not acceptable then name a Linn county candidate but take from Anderson county the responsibility for the fight which is to follow." "It is a serious mistake," said Frank L. Brown, "for the Republicans of Linn county who profess to be in accord with the principles of Republicanism and fair play; who claim to be work ing for party success, to come into this convention and insist upon the nomin ation of a man who is not supported by his own delegation. "A factional fight always disturbs party harmony yet you insist on forcing one on the Republicans of Anderson county. What Linn county proposes at this time is disastrous. It should not be done. I pledge you the loyal support of every Republican in Anderson county to a Linn county man and respectfully urge upon this conven tion the contemplation of the evil which you are about to do by forcing a man on Anderson county, even though it be his own home, who is unpopular." The Garnett Eagle says of the con vention: "The protest from Anderson had some effect on the older members of the Linn county delegation who under stood the political situation and desired the election of the candidate. Ed R. Smith and H. H. Woy sought a confer ence with the rest of the delegation, but Burton injected himself into the conference and with the support of Johnny Barnes held the delegation in line, and the assassination of the party, in the interest of Burton was carried out." GOMER DAVIES NEW HOLE. Populist Editor Flops to Democracy A Political Novelty. Gamer Davies, editor of the Concordia Kansan, which has been a Populist pa per, has joined the Democracy, a feat which is accomplished by the following editorial: "We have been so mixed up politically during the last few years that it seems now to be in order to take invoice of stock and discover where we are. Few men can say with certainty what they are as did the New Yorker quoted above. "We realize the force of bigotry; we understand the mastery of prejudice. It is no trifling effort to break away from one's mother's religion, or to burn the badges (our sole decoration) of a foster ing party for whom we yelled a quarter of a century. It is as easy for a leopard to change spots as for a man to uproot a bias. "Taught bimeltallism and the double standard ever since we switched our lips from one teat to another, we cannot overcome the bias, nor shall we try to. "Who stand for bimetallism? "The People's party. "The silver Republican party. "The Democratic party. "The first two can never be national. Coalition is authorisedi their complete union is desired. "And why not? "Let us all be Democrats. "The language has not better word to generalize a government by the people. "Republicanism means government by representatives, such as Philadelphia exhibited the other week when senators dominated an aggregation of place hunters. "Democracy is the word to conjure by; a word that echoes all that is best in man from its grand chorus in Athens down to the thundering of the word in Kansas City on Freedom's day. "We are a Democrat. "A man who is not a Democrat sur renders self-rule to another. We are in favor of every principle of government enunciated at Kansas City by the Dem ocratic national convention. "Firt of all, self-government to all peo ples Americans,Cubans,Filipinos, Boers or Tagals. "We are against the empire. "Expansion is a fool-toad's bursted experiment to acquire the dimensions of an ox. "Elect senators by direct vote. "Tax incomes. "Give us the initiative and referen dum. "Give us 16 to 1. "Classify trusts as crimes. "No combine except in politics. "Down with the tariff. "Down with the flag unless It wavea over the constitution. "We are for Bryan. "For Stevenson. "For the Declaration of Independence, "For a government "For the people. "We are for free trade, "Free silver, "Freedom! "We are for the Monroe doctrine. "Chinese exclusion. "A department of labor, "The Nicaragua canal, "Statehood for the territories, "Improvement of arid lands by Irri gation.

Republicans One Man Ahead in This Contest The Republicans gained a Democrat yesterday. Today the Democrats cap tured a Republican. According to the official reports the record of flops indi cates that the Republicans are in the lead by one, today. The Populists hope to "catch up" by tomorrow morning. J. 5.

"It's cold, sweet and nice. Mother squeezed the lemons and I chopped the ice." "My, ain't it hot Big palm leaves are only five cents." "You'll have to hurry to get tickets for the concert. Society cake walk and performing mokeys. Who else wants one?" Several thousand Topeka people heard the above in solo and concerted form yesterday afternoon and last night. Just how many thousand it is impossible to say without knowing the full seating ca pacity of the big tent of the Wallace show and striking an average on the line of men and boys who reclined on the ground outside of the tiers of seats. There was a big crowd at the afternoon performance, but a much bigger one at the night exhibition, and hundreds of hard earned Topeka nickels and dimes, quarters and half dollars, and big round dollars went to help in keeping the Wal lace circus on the road. And by the way, which wagon did you buy your tickets of last night. If you rushed hurriedly to the first wagon as you neared the big show tent you were "worked." There is no other word for it. The first wagon was a "graft." A quar ter of a dollar was not good for a ticket there. Hundreds who read the signs on the big elephants sides during the morn ing parade, announcing that a special price of 25 cents had been made for the Topeka performances, wondered at the heavy mustached individual's demand for 35 cents. But invariably they re- 1 sponded with the ten cents extra. And then as they pushed along toward the main entrance they saw a second ticket wagon. And that wasn't all. They saw people buying tickets by the score for 25 cents. They were those who in some way were fortunate enough to get lost in the shuffle for the first wagon. It was a simple arrangement. The management presumably cut the regular cii'cus price of 50 cents, but provided for a loss of 25 cents to a limited extent on ly. One ticket wagon was placed near the entrance to the show grounds. The ticket seller there sold tickets for 3o cents and no less. The second wagon, far in the rear, carried out the reduced rate promise. Tickets were purchased there for 25 cents. But compartively few bought tickets at the' second wagon. The management would not have taken much more money out of Topeka by al iow ing the usual circus rate to stand. Those who paid 35 cents for seats and realize today that it was 10 cents more than necessary will feel "sore." But it will not be because they did not enjoy the performance to the extent of the ex penditure. It will be simply because of having been "worked." The perform ance was worth the money. It would still be worth it had 50 cents been charged. No one expects anything startlingly new in a circus performance, but there were some surprises. There were the same mechanically lopeing horses, the same daring bareback riders, the same acro batic feats and trapese performances.the same chariot races and of course, the same circus band and the same circus clowns.But the horses were no more me chanical in their movements, the riders r.o less daring, the performers as good, the chariot races as exciting, and the band and the clowns as easily tolerated as similar features with any of the other shows that have visited Topeka in the past. And then there was something out of the ordinary when one comes to review the performance carefully. There were three performing pigs. Think of it. Wonderful demonstration of man's in genuity and perseverance. Intelligence developed in hogs to the extent of caus ing them to crawl over ladders, sit on chairs and jump through cylinders at the crack of the whip. Nothing start lingly new? Well yes, the statement will have to be retracted in this partic ular. The performing pigs form a fea ture both new and startling. Once a circus visited Topeka with a band of performing seals. The exhibi tion was looked upon as marvelous. And another time another circus came to To peka carrying a performing steer, and the intelligence of the big animal was looked upon as remarkable. But seals and steer were put in the shade last night by the man with the performing pigs. Besides the pigs, the Wallace show has a special animal feature in an elephant that rides a bicycle. The clumsy looking little brute little as compared with the majority of his kind mounted his spec ially constructed wheel with ease and with two Shetland ponies in tow, rode rapidly around the elevated stage sev eral times, while children screamed with delight and older people applauded. The Wallace show features, the work of the Nelson family of acrobates par ticularly, and the work done by the uni ted membership Is excellent of its kind. The Stirk family of cyclists also demon strated unusual ability in their turn. The human ball was also a perplexing and novel feature. MISS N ELLIS IN PARIS.

Miss Nellis spent two years studying in Berlin but for the past year has been studying in Paris and will remain there until September, when she expects to return to Topeka with her mother and sister who are with her. Miss Nellis has achieved remarkable success wherever she has played, and Topeka may be justly proud of her. Quarantine Raised. New Orleans, Aug. 18.

ANDERSON BACK. Returns From a Visit at Frankfortt Marshall County. Major Anderson has returned from a visit to the old soldiers' reunion which was held at Frankfort, Marshall county, this week. Major Anderson was surprised as well as pleased to note the encouraging con ditions which exist in that part of the state. He said: "Frankfort is a pros perous town. One day while I was there I saw more than an acre of buggies set before and in the rear of one livery barn. I think that this shows that the farmers are enjoying their share of the general prosperity when they discard the wagons for carriages to do their driving to town." On his return home Major Anderson stopped at the Jackson county old set tlers' picnic at Holton. He resided there 43 years ago. He located in that county in 1857 and lived there for eight years. During his stop at the old settlers' re union there yesterday he met a great many of his old time friends whom he had not seen before for from twenty to thirty years. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, Aug. 18. WHEAT Wheat was again dull and heavy todav. Liverpool was weak, d lower, making the crowd more bearish than it would otherwise have been over the heavy movement and the slack cash demand. September opened e lower at 7272c, slid off to 72c, rallied to 72c, and then languished till a sale had been made at 71e. Following this a recovery to 72c took place. There was practically no outside buying and the principal local support came from scalp ing shorts, who took profits under 72c. Receipts here were 477 cars, 55 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 289 cars against 281 last week and 232 a year ago. One commission firm bought 200,000 bu. during the forenoon, and this had a steadying effect on the market. Septem ber closed ffl'c down at 72e. CORN The wheat weakness had an in fluence on corn but holders were indis posed to make any great concessions in price in order to get rid of a cereal which may, in the opinion of many traders be very valuable delivery day. September opened He to (&-c lower at 38c to 3S5c, touched 38c. declined to 38c, and then railed to 38-c Receipts were 120 cars. The close was steady. September c lower, at 38c. OATS Oats were dull and featureless and a trifle easier. September opened a shade down at 21c and sold to 21c Re ceipts were 264 cars. PROVISIONS Hogs were lower, but de spite this the provisions market opened with a display of firmness. There was not much outside trade, but local in terests at the start were buvers of pro duct, especially of ribs. Later the mar ket eased off on selling by a packing con cern. September pork opened unchanged to 7c higher at $11.HkU11.07H, and de clined to $10.95: September lard opened a shade up at $6.57. and September ribs 2c lower at $6.82, advancing to $6.92.

W H EAT Cables came lower than ex pected this morning and wheat had an- -other hard break again today, but closed witn part or tne decline recovered. Re ceipts were liberal everywhere. Kansas City leading the list with 305 cars. We can expect southwest receipts to fall off materially from now on, commencing about the first of the week, and we can also expect to see clearances increase. When the northwest crop damage was verified Secretary Wilson is reported as saying that dollar wheat before the next rroo was a certainty and as there has been no change in the situation up there this prediciton of course holds good. We have been advising the sale of this wheat right along, and our clients have made good money out of It. We believe the market is in position now to score a good long advance, as all the plungers and. scalpers have been frozen out, and no-, body remains-but the investor, who 1. buying it as an investment, and will pro. tect his trades. There has been some good Investment buying today on the break, and this some, class will be in the market from now on.. -It looks like good sense to buy wheat on. a break like this, and it la certainly a. better purchase on a break of this kind than to wait until the market has ad vanced 4 or 5 cents a bushel. CORN Corn eased oft half a cent a bushel in sympathy with wheat. There is no change in the situation. Cash markets are strong and corn is wanted in all posl--tions. Acceptances are liberal, shipments large and receipts small. It is almost im possible to buy any corn on cara mas. OATS Nothing doing in oats. PROVISIONS Pork closed 15c a barrel higher than yesterday. Packers were in the market again today, buying both Oc tober and September pork. They have been buying it from $12 down, and we ex pect that pork has touched the low rec ord for some time. J. C GOINGS. New York Uptown Gossip. New York, Aug. 18. Business at the stock exchange again dropped off sharply yesterday and- this with minor and irreg ular' exchanges in prices at the close clearly indicates the existence of special stagnation. It was not very surprising that good news of the relief of the en voys in Pekin had little effect on values. There are some satisfactory features to be made in the usual weekly trade re ports. The condition of business is sum marized by the country bank clearances, and they show smaller declines from the two previous years than might be ex pected. Wall street dullness is only a reflection of general business hesitation, yet Wall street seems to find explanation of this lack of ne.w enterprise in the un certainty of the pending political situa tion, at least one would Judge this from the optimistic talk heard in stock ex change trade circles as to the certainty of McKinley's re-election. This is a season when Wall street does not go deeply into politics. This will come later on and is obvious that many points will be presented by party leaders to satisfy persons who have Important business interests that hard work will have to be done to clinch the situation.

LONDON WANTS GOLD. The Statist Explains "Why More is Needed. London, Aug. 18. The Statist, in an article reviewing the money market savs: Besides the 3,000,000 in gold attracted to the Bank of England from America and 300,000 from India It has bf ought a further 2,500,000, which will shortly arrive and an inflow of 800,000 from the United Kingdom is expected. Thus the bank w ill secure over 4.000,000 and may succeed in raising the reserve at the end of the week to 23,000.000. The outflow of cash from London to the country us ually reached 4.000,000. During the last four months of the year we may be called on to find several millions of gold for Egypt and Argentine and there is little prospect of more gold, from New York. With a reserve of 23,000,000 we may have to meet a demand of six or seven million pounds. Hence, later, it may be necessary to take further measures for attracting gold, or for diverting Egyp tian and South American demands for gold to Paris or New York. Under these circumstances it will be evident that any ease of th London market must ba of a temporary nature. It should be clearly understood, that both New York and Paris -at e in a position to withdraw a very large amount, of money from Lon don if it does not pay to leave their balances here." OPENS MONDAY EVENING. Theatrical Season to Be Inaugurated by Stock Company. The theatrical season in Topeka will open with the Falk Veronee comany at the Crawford theater Monday night. The house has been put in first-class shape, and a number of electric fans will be used in making the temperature endurable. The Falk "Veronee company is' the one formed by Manager Hopkins of Chi cago to open a theater which he was ne gotiating for in St. Louis. About the time the organization was formed the negotiations fell through, and a rival manager secured the St. Louis house. The, visit of the company is due to this fact. It is not a 10. 20 and 30 cents rep ertoire company as 10, 20 and 30 cents repertoire companies go. The cast In cludes Miss Lillian Mortimer, who has played leads at the Hopkins theater in Chicago for several years, and as a spec ial vaudeville feature Baby Lund, the remarkable child performer, is with th? company. The time between acts will be taken up with vaudeville work. The company comes to Topeka direct from Springlield, lil., where it closes a week's engagement tonight. The prices here will be 10, 20 and 30 cents. "Lost Paradise" will be the bill Monday night. MISS IIILLIS HONORED. Topeka Girl Secures Scholarship in Oread Institute. Miss Mabel Hillis, a Topeka girl, has beer, given a scholarship t"' the-Oread Institute at Worcester, Mass., and will leave for there August 30. Mr. Perkins, president of the institu tion gave one scholarship to each state for a year's tuition, the choice to be left to the superintendent of public instruc tion. As Superintendent Nelson was to be away at the time the choice was to be made. President Perkins wrote to a Mr. Black of Kansas City to select a well known Kansan to make the choice. Mrs. V". A. Johnston, who has more than a state reputation as a prominent club wo man, was then chosen by Mr. Black to make the choice. Mrs. Johnston had to suggest Bix Kan sas young women, and of the six Miss Hillis was the fortunate one and is in every way fitted to represent Kansas at the institution. Miss Hillis is an active club worker and has given Mrs. John ston much assistance with the traveling library work, and it was partly due to this that the choice fell upon Miss Hil lis. She was required to take an exam ination which she passed in a creditable manner. Mis Hillis graduated from the Kmporia high school about four years ago with high honors. Orvad Institute is known as a school of domestic science but it also has a fine literary and musical department, and the scholarship gives Miss Hillis full ad vantages in every department. The so cial life among the students is also one of the special features of the school. Miss Hiilis is a charming young wo man and a popular society girl. Story of a Slave.

At sixteen I was pale and weak. By the time I was nineteen years old I was so weak I could not walk across the floor. I was terribly ema ciated and my skin had lost all color. The doctor pronounced the disease Anaemia. Being advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I bought a box, and before I had taken all of the pills found that they were doing me good. Appetite in creased and the healthy color began to show in my cheeks and Hps. I con tinued to use the pills until I found myself per manently cured. Since then I have had no return of my old trouble.

Buyers of Nearly- All Lines Eager to Stock Up. New York, Aug. 18. R. G. Dun Co's "Weekly Review of Trade today says: After a great wave of advancing prices optimism as to business is generally dangerous. But the top was reached the middle of March, since which time reac tion has come in every great industry, so that consumers are asking whether in some directions the decline may not have been reasonably large, as was the ad vance, and whether buying on the pres ent basis of prices is not fairly sure. There are fresh evidences of weakness in raw materials, notably the break in structural iron, but each one is availed to place heavy contracts. New York is welcoming buyers from all over the country in larger numbers than for many years at this season, in dry goods, in groceries, in jewelry and in hardware; and if contracts are not placed to as large a volume as expected by them, it is because of conservatism of those who think they may compel some further shading of prices. Reports this week from other important points of distribu tion show the same eagerness to buy when the time seems right. It is becoming more apparent that the bottom has been reached in prices of iron and steel. The decline was severe and recovery must be slow, but gradual ad vances and moderately increasing activ ity are more healthy than violent changes. In no single division is the im provement more striking than in any other. Except steel rails, all forms of iron, from the ore to the finished product are being sought more eagerly and with less effort to secure further concessions in prices. The first effect of the official report of wheat conditions, indicating a total crop of only 513,997,000 bushels, was to strengthen prices, but when the secre tary of agriculture was reported as pre dicting 'dollar wheat" before the end of the year, the market showed an inclina tion to disagree, and the September op tion fell below 80 cents at New York for the first time in two months. "For the year thus far shipments of boots and shoes from Boston are 2,735. 443 eases, against 2,914,885 in 1899, but the volume of business to date has been exceeded in only three years. The trade is suffering from accumulation of stocks that cannot be sold without a loss as compared with the price at which shoes could now be made. Hides are in a bet ter position than the leather market seems to warrant. Failures for the week were 161, in the United States, against 156 last year, and 4 in Canada, against 24 last year. Bradstreet's today says: "Among the favorable features report ed this week are advices of further ex pansion in fall trade distribuation at leading wetsern centers, with relatively best buying proceiing from those sec tions of the southwest which have pro fited by good crops, a rather better dis- I tribution by dry goods jobbers at the east, a firmer tone and a perceptible growth in confidence, accompanied by heavy buying in some classes of steel and iron, and a disposition to believe that an average wheat crop and much more than average corn and oats crops are assured. Steady increases in current gross railway earnings over a year ago and an exceptionally favorable net earn ings report for the first half of the year are additional encouraging features. The list of unfavorable elements in the trade situation is at best a negative one, the approach of a presidential campaign, though less effective than usual in this respect. thebackward demand for spring woolens, and the slow demand for the raw material, the restriction in produc tion of some makes of cotton goods, the dullness in building materials, notably lumber, and the backward inquiry for boots and shoes at the east, being among these. Speculation in nearly all lines and especially food products, is at a low ebb, and what changes are noted are mainly because of this, though weather and crop conditions have played some part in wheat, corn and cotton respec ISM VIA (The Short Line) tively. The money market, as a whole, is still easy, the only increase in demand being noted at the west, where trade is expanding, but where moving crops are still in the future. The prices of staples are, perhaps, slightly irregular, but changes are small and the larger num ber of staples are unchanged." KLONDIKERS ARRIVE. They Brought Only $2,500, in Gold With Them. Seattle, Wn., Aug. IS. The steamer Humboldt arrived in port from Lynn Canal with 96 passengers, 60 of them Kiondikers and upwards of 1250,000 in treasure from the Klondike. By far the largest treasure holder was Clarence Berry, who had four boxes containing upwards or JloO.000. There were several other people with large sums and any number with a few thousand. Nearly all of the passengers from the Klondike are said to have possessed some dust. The Humboldt brought considerable late news. She left Skaguay on the morning of the 12th and made an unus ually good trip down. Dawson advices dated August 4 give the rumor of the drowning of five people by the wreck of the launch Aquilla, own ed by Joe Burk. The men reported drowned are: S. R. Hibbard, Maurice M.

He Has Learned That Discretion is Better Part of Valor. Prof. G. Washington Jackson, veteran of the Spanish war, leader of the fa mous Twenty-third Regiment band and constable of Justice Wright's court, is not a coward by any means, but the bump of discretion on his cranium Is well developed. In the performance of his duties as constable, Jackson has experienced many experiences, but his first full fledged retreat was a few days ago. Two old colored men were at logger heads over a piece of land. They are named Hammond and Griffin and live on property adjoining. Hammond claimed that a mistake had been made in running the line between the prop erties and that Griffin was occupying four feet of his (Hammond's) land. Hammond got out a writ in Wright s court to have Griffin put off the four feet of land. Jackson served the writ. Griffin saw him coming. This is the way Jackson tells about it: 'I see Grufnn go in the house. Den he comes out ies es I gets up to de front gate. 'Mistah Griffin," says I, I'se cum ter sarve dis hyeah writ.' I gets jes that a far. Griffin he reaches round in de do way and pulls out a Springfield rifle dat looked nine feet long. 'Tau cum in hyeah an I'll shoot yo clean off de airth." says Griffin look in' right straight ter me. "I ain't comin' in," sez I to Griffin, "an I ain't tryin' to fool yer either. Jea then Hammond he comes out with an old army hoss pistol dat looked as if it ought to be on wheels. 'Yo cain't shoot no fastern I kin.' he sez, lookin' right straight ter Griffin. What did I do?

A dleightful close to the week's fes tivities was the card party given this morning by Misses Annie and Susie Herbst at their home on Taylor street.

The prize was a pretty picture and instead of giving a consolation prize each guest was given a dainty little souvenir. An entertaining feature of the morning was an im promptu musical programme given by a few of the guests. At noon refresh ments were served and an original idea was the serving of tiny cantaloupes stuffed with ice cream. The affair was given in honor of the visiting girls. The guests were.

About five o'clock refreshments were served in the dining room, the guests all seated at two long tables which were lavishly decorated with nasturtiums. Besides the elaborate center pieces of nasturtiums there were bowls of the same blossoms at either end of the ta bles. The guests found their places by means of cards on which the letters of their names had been inverted, form ing a characteristic of the owner. The souvenirs were pretty little booklets decorated with water color sketches and bearing the following couplet: 'Knenil is a word of royal tone.Friend is a poem all alone."

A Society Incident. A story is told of a number of girls in the younger society crowd who thought they would reform the boys in their cer tain set a year or two ago. The boys had commenced to ape their elders and at dances would go out during the even ing and take a smoke and some times a drink. The girls held an indignation meeting and decided that they would refuse to go to the next party, which they accordingly did. The boys then held a meeting and decided to inform the girls that if they refused invitations to the next party they should never be asked again, so the girls gave up the idea of reform and attnded the party, with the exception of one who still re mained obdurate. The true fact3 of the case had not been explained to the boys and accordingly the one girl who re mained firm was completely "left out," though before she had always been one of the most popular girls in the crowd. After nearly a year the boys found out the truth and their admiration for the one girl who stuck to her resolution seemed to increase and since then she has had invitations galore, and is still as popular as ever with the girls.

INSIDESTORY. Boer Commandant Writes of South African Wrar. Arthur Lynch Gave .Up News paper Work to Fight. AMUSING EXPERIENCE. How He Broke In a Raw Army Horse. Story of the Second Irish South African Brigade. Arthur Lynch, who was sent to the Transvaal to write up the Boer war for Collier's Weekly, has been heard from. In today's issue of Collier's Weekly the following letter from Mr. Lynch is published: I owe an apology to the readers of Collier's Weekly. Having gone to South Africa as correspondent to this honored periodical, I confess the pres sure was too great and. exchanged the pen for the sword, or rather for the Mauser rifle, a much more effective weapon. What veritable excuse can I offer? I fell like Benedict, who, when he de- CORRESPONDENT ARTHUR LYNCH, Now a Boer commandant. clared he would die a bachelor, did not think he would live to be married. When I arrived in Pretoria it was my intention t guard the "line of com munication" with my pen, and to take "shots" with the kodak only. If I fell from that state of grace it was greatly because I was much tempted. I liked the Boers from the first. I had always sympathized with their cause, and when, on arriving in their magnificent country, I found myself received by the people with so much genuine and sim ple cordiality I was already a partisan. Further, I became convinced, and the feeling entered more and more deeply into my mind, of the absolute injustice of the the war and the questionable character of the motives which were responsible for so much bloodshed. I became a burgher. President Kru ger said laughingly:: "You see how easy It Is to obtain the franchise. We would make Mr. Chamberlain a burgher. If he cared to fight for us." At that time I anticipated going to the front as an ordinary trooper. The day following I received a horse. It was a bad horse, and it was sufferng form the "new sickness." The day was by Relief Association. A hospital assistant with not as much knowledge of medicine as an apprentice in a pharmacy was in charge. "How manv of these people will be saved?" I asked. 'They came here to die.' was the stoic response. It was the abomination of deso lation, and I was as helpless to help as the victims themselves. Yet I would have gladly given at that moment all that I possessed had it been in mv power to afford relief even for one single hour to those whose piteous gaze between the spasms mutely apealed to the white man for the help that they vaguelv longed for yet did not expect.and which he unfor tunately was unable to render. Never never shall I forget that sad experience.' But what we saw in the first ward was only a specimen of al the others. We traveled from ward to ward onlv to re peat the same experience. Our heart strings were wrung until the ever present consciousness of our own utter helole-s-ness became so oppressive that a continu ation of the tour threatened to unnerve us. "We stepped out into the square skirted by the bamboo enclosure and into the brazen sun. There before us on the ground, without shade or protection of any kind, stark naked, lay a number of women in the last throes of the cholera. Two of them were moaning piteousiv. They seemed to be unconscious, yet the contortions of their bodies indicated that they were suffering intense pain. We called an attendant and ordered him to cary the women under shelter from the burning rays." Bp jp extremely warm, but, as it had threat ened rain in the morning, I had put on an overcoat. Consequently, mounted on my moke, whom in vain I was trying to persuade to give me a canter, or at least a trot, I was, no doubt, a pitiable object. Returning to town in this wise, after a short excursion to the outskirts, I met one of my friends. The per spiration was streaming down my face, my horse, in spite of his slow and un certain gait, was exhibiting every sign of fatigue, and I began to surmise thai I had enetered on a Quixotic adventure. "Hulloa:" called otlt my friend. "I see you've got your horse. What do you call him?" My sorrowful reply was, "Rosinante!" At a subsequent period, it is true, I had the pleasure of riding some very fine horses. The wiry and springy Boer horse is the best of mounts, especially one that has been trained to the jaunty gait called "trippling." The delay caused by my rejection of my first steed had an important influ ence on my career in the Transvaal. There had been considerable discussion as to the advisability of forming a sec ond Irish brigade, as there was a good deal of stray fighting material of the best quality which found itself ill at ease in the existing commandoes. I was invited by the president, the state sec retary and General Joubert to co operate with those who had already taken the matter in hand. The most prominent of these was Captain Mitch ell, an officer who had, under Colonel Blake of the Irish brigade, won golden opinions for his bravery and soldierlike qualities. Mitchell, whose modesty was equal to his courage, proposed that I should take command of the new brig ade, and, by the unanimous desire of the men, I found myself d'emblee, In that position. The following day a com mission was made out for me, signed by President Kruger and the state secretary, ratifying my appointment and giving me the title of colonel of the Second Irish brigade. Mitchell was appointed major. The most notable of my other officers was Captain Oates, a militant Irishman of South Africa, and one of the most zealous promoters of both Irish brig ades. Captain Oates had lost his eldest son at Modder's Spruit, a young man of great promise and greatly beloved by all. Both father and son had the qual ity of courage even in too high a de gree, and I always had difficulty in re straining my captain from rushing im petuously into danger. The history of the brigade cannot well be told in a short space. To the origi nal nucleus of Irishmen there was ad joined later a considerable number of young Afrikanders, a contingent of Germans, who had all been officers in the German army, a smaller body of Frenchman, likewise mainly composed of ex-officers, and representatives of every country in Europe, except Turkey. I searched in vain for a Turk! I had also a fair force of Americans, and even an Englishman, born In England, of whom I can say there was no smarter trooper. My brigade became very popular in Natal, and I was subequently joined by several genuine Boers of the soil. Still later some smaller commandoes came over to me en bloc. Mr status, as well as that of the other leaders of important volunteer corps, was de clared by a decision of the war council to rank as that of "commandant," and my brigade was treated on the same footing of those of the Boer com mandoes. We arrived too late before Ladysmith to participate in anything more excit ing than the famous retreat truly one of the most wonderful spectacles I have ever beheld. The Second Irish brigade was on e of the rearguard, and among the last to reach Glencoe. Our first action was in an attack or ganized by General Botha against the British forces at Elandslaagte. They had prepared an advance against our lines in the Biggarsberg, but Botha met them in the vicinity of their own camp, and threw them back with serious loss and in great confusion. Mad the plan devised by the general been carried out by all the Boer commanders we -should have "scooped" the entire advance guard. As it was, the matter stands for a. two days' engagement of some consequence. The only rifle fire on the occasion was that in which my brigade participated almost exclusively. Apart from parties of patrols and scouts, and frequent brushes with sim ilar bodies of the enemy, the next en counter in which we took part was after the English had burst through our Biggarsberg defences at Helpmakar. On that occasion we helpd to save some guns of Commandant Viljoen. My brig ade succeeded in beating back a rush of lancers and dragoons, and in holding the main body in check long enough to save the artillery, which, was heading for Dundee. Subsequently, after retreating to Laing's Nek, we were orederd to the Free State, and took part in the vari ous engagements of that "running fight," which came to an end only with the occupation of Pretoria. We helped to keep the enemy in check before Johannesburg, and, dur ing two days, at Baragwanath and Doornkop, inflicted temporary defeats. Between Pretoria and Johannesburg we again attacked theadvance guard of the English at Reitfontein, and saved the road for a period long enough to allow of a perfectly orderly retreat be tween the two cities. Such is the outline of my activities In South Africa, and if the course of events was a little more exciting than that of the average journalist I had of ten occasion to regret that I had not been able to keep open my line to Col lier's Weekley; but I shall hope to make up for the desrtion by writing more in detail, in the near future, the story of my service with the brigade, and possi bly I may thus be enabled to present an "inside view" of the war which will be of interest. AFTER FIFTY YEARS Lovers Quarrel of Haifa Century Ago .Is Patched Up. "Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 18. J. L. Wil kinson, aged 81, and Sarah Ann Coal, aged 72, were married here today, and the shadow of a lovers' quarrel of fifty years ago was wiped away. Tears glistened in the old couples's eyes as they clasped hands and took each other for better or worse. They walked bashfully into the reg ister's office this morning and nervously but quietly answered the necessary questions. The groom said he lived at Tanner, this county. "Got a farm there," he added. The bride said she lived at Weatherby. Each had been married before, but their first marital partners were dead. After getting the license they went across the street to Alderman Masterson and were married. Fifty years ago this summer they were as happy a young couple as could be found in the county, and deeply in love with- each other. One summer evening something happened, they will not say what.

Two weeks ago O'Brien was confirm ed. His piety was excessive. He attend ed every service, and remained after tha congregation was dismissed for silent prayer and meditation. The priests and his family encouraged him, and he ad ded morning and evening prayer, always entering the cathedral alone. Then it was noticed that the number of candlesticks in the church became less after each visit. Finally some of the altar vessels were missed. The matter was reported to the detectives, ard O'Brien was discovered in a pawnshop trying to dispose of a silver candlestick from the statue of the Apostle Peter. This led to the search and the recovery of the remainder of the stolen property. EXCLUDE YOUNGER MEN. Commander Shaw Wants Only Civil War Veterans in Grand Army. Rome, N. Y., Aug. 18. Commander-in-Chief A. D. Shaw of the Grand Army of the Republic, is emphatically', against admitting veterans of the Cu- ban, Philipipne and Chinese wars to) membership in the G. A. R. In an in- terview today hesaid: "I find that the idea is overwhelmln? ly, opposed by the comrades every where. I am opposed to a union of thu younger veterans with those of the civil war, because there ia no common bond of service between thein. The members of the G. A. R. are particular ly sensitive as to their records. Th y prefere to have no outsiders In the organization. When they are all gone another similar organization can be formed, composed of those who have served as volunteers in later wars." If the matter is brought up at the coming encampment in Chicago, Com mander Shaw is sure to be found on the side of those opposed to the admission of any but veterans of the civil war to membership in the Grand Army.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1900. .'John Elliott Ward, oar first minister to China and the first accredited foreign envoy extraor dinary and minuter plenipotentiary of any country to enter its capital, Peking, ia still living in "ew York. Burn in 1S14, be ia now 88 years of age, but hale and vigorous, with a vast fund of anccdute and interesting reminiscences. AU his great contemioraries have passed away, but his recollection of events that transpired half a century ago is still clear and vivid. There are few living who have agisted as he haa at the "making of history," and none survives who was so in strumental in shaping the unvarying policy that has prevailed lwtween China and the United Slates. His courage and discretion at a moat crucial period of t'hina'a history were recognized by the ablest European diplomats, and President Buchanan said of him and his mission in his annual message to rongreaa in lsiu: "On the 15th of December, 1358. John K. Ward, a distinguished citizen of Georgia, was duly commissioned as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to China. The conduct of our minister on the occasion haa received my entire approbation." Mr. Ward was the presiding officer of the Democratic national convention which met in Cincinnati in 1S0 and nominated .lames Buchanan for president. Prior to that time Mr. Ward had been mayor of Savannah, president of the Georgia senate and acting lieutenant governor, resigning in 1S5S on being appointed United Statea minister to China. APPOINTED minister of the Unit ed States to China by President Buchanan In 1S58, my diplomatic duties really began at Shanghai In June, 1S59. I met there QulUian and Washana, the two Imperial commis sioners deputed by the emperor nomi nally to meet the foreign embassadors at Shanghai and make arrangements for their visit to Peking. The real ob ject of their mission was, if possible, to dissuade them from going there, and, failing in their efforts to do this, to In terpose every obstacle. By the Amer ican treaty no place was designated where It should be exchanged. The English and French treaties each con tained a clausg providing for an ex change at Peking. In my first official Interview I discovered that there would be great opposition not openly, but covertly, to our going to Peking. I therefore proposed, as the time for the exchange of treaties had arrived, that the exchange of the American treaty should be made then at Shanghai. To this the impel ial commissioners replied that the Chinese ratification of the treaty being at Peking, no exchange could take place until either it could be received from Peking or we should reach that place. Satisfied that this was a mere evasion, I then required frorri them a stipulation .that I should have the right, without the exchange of treaties, to proceed to Pekirfg with the embassador of the first nation that vis ited that place. To this they assented and correspondence with them ceased. On the arrival of the British and French ministers, both Sir Frederick Bruce and M. de Bourbillon refused to hold any intercourse with the Chinese commissioners at Shanghai, alleging that by the stipulations of their treat ies they were to make the exchange at Peking, and that that must be their first business. This, in my Judgment, was a grave error and tended in no small degree to produce the disastrous results at Pei-Ho. A meeting and con ference with these high commissioners could have produced no possible evil result. Their refusal to do so irritated and mortified them, as their rank was next to the emperor's. I was accord ingly officially notified by Quillian and Washana that they would leave for Peking, where arrangements would be made to receive us. On the morning of the 11th of June, 1S59, we left Shanghai for the mouth of the Pei-Ho, having in tow a small steamer called the Toey- NOTABLE wan, with which we were to ascend the river to Tien-tsin, the water being too shallow for our frigate, the Powhatan. We arrived at the anchorage at the mouth of the Pei-Ho and found there the French and English fleets the first under the command of Commodore Tri cault. the latter under Sir James Hope, the Chesapeake being his flagship. The English and French embassadors had both arrived before me. We were an chored about ten miles from the mouth of the Pei-Ho, the coast being so shal low that no nearer approach could be made in large vessels. About three miles from the mouth of the river and at nearly equal distance from the forts there Is a bank about a mile wide, across which no vessel of greater draft than ten feet can go, even at high tide. When that bank has been passed, you are in the channel of the river, and distant about three miles In a direct line from its mouth. On our arrival at the anchorage we found that the Eng lish gunboats had already crossed that bar and were anchored within two miles of the forts. As soon as it was possible after my arrival Admiral Hope called and informed me that he had been up to the mouth of the river and had found it so obstructed by chains aa to render farther progress impossible without their removal, and that he had sent his boats on shore to say that the English and French ministers had ar rived on their way to Peking and de manded the removal of the obstructions so as to enable them to proceed. The reply was that these obstructions had been placed not to prevent the minis ters from going to Peking, but to keep out the rebels a falsehood, because the rebels had no boats. They also said that this was not the Pei-Ho; that the entrance to the Pei-Ho was 10 or 15 miles farther north, and that the min isters must g9 there ta set to Peking, f THE ATTACK 4,' VCSC -i- Jj V 1 I .personal iNarrauve 01 Our First Minister to China. By John E. Ward. They promised, however, to remove the obstructions, and In pretending to do this worked at them day and night, making them still more formidable. SCENES CONNECTED WITH The admiral discovered this and gave them notice that as the doors had been closed upon the English and French ministers, he had been instructed to open them, and should proceed to dp so on Saturday morning, the 26th insti An important difference between the position of the American minister and that of the English and French minis ters should here be observed. The Eng lish and French treaties had been made in time of war between China and those countries. By these treaties the war was terminated. Upon a violation of their stipulations their representa tives might regard themselves as thrown back into the war which had been by such treaties suspended. The American treaty, on the contrary, was made with a nation with whom we had never hero- at war. If Its provisions should be violated, the proper remedy for such violation must be determined by the government of the United States. I had been instructed, however, by the president to "go to Peking." I had received the assent, if not the in vitation, of the Chinese commissioners at Shanghai to go there to exchange the treaty. I determined, therefore, to pro ceed on my way until stopped by force which could not be pvercome by that under my command. In the execution of that design, and with the naval cohi mander of our small force, I crossed the bar the next day, Friday morning, the 25th, and proceeded toward the forts. I found at anchor about a mile and a half from the mouth of the river all the English and French vessels which could cross the bar. The entire fleet consisted of ten gunboats and three small vessels, carrying about 40 guns and 600 men. Anchored with these vessels were three large Chinese junks, a3 they are called, which had been tak en possession of by the allies and on which they, bad placed about 700 men, to be used as recruits for the vessels and as a landing force, should a land at tack upon the forts be deemed expe dient. These vessels were passed in the execution'of my determination not to be stopped except by actual force, and we were within half a mile of the forts when our steamer grounded, which was not surprising, as we had no pilot, and no officer on board had ever before entered the river. At the time we grounded the tide was falling rapid ly. The English admiral Immediately sent his flag lieutenant in the gunboat Plover to say to Commodore Tattnall that he expected to see us fired on at any moment, and that as the tide fell our boat would certainly keel over i -r&tew' jA 1 til ""fT" trl feY?

Fs "WA and go to pieces; further, to tender to us the use of the Plover and request us to hoist the American ensign at the fore and his own flag at the mlzzen mast. This generous offer was de clined, but an effort was made by the gunboat to relieve us from our posi tion, which, proving unsuccessful, the Plover left us and returned to the line which the admiral was then beginning to form. The flag lieutenant, with in terpreters, was then sent on shore by me to inform the Chinese that I was on board the steamer on my way to Pe king. They returned with the reply that there was no officer of sufficient rank there to receive any communica tion from me, and that we could not proceed by that river; that the em peror had ordered the governor general of that province to meet the ministers at what they called the north entrance of the river, which they said was dis tant about ten miles, and that he would be there on that day or the next. About 8 o'clock in the evening our steamer floated with the rising tide. By that time the admiral had formed a line extending from the junks to our position, and our commodore, fearing that the moving of a light about our vessel might be mistaken by some of the admiral's squadron for a signal, ordered the steamer to drop below the line and anchor near the junks. About 12 o'clock an explosion was heard, which was the blowing up of the first barrier across the river. This was followed by two guns from the forts, after which all was quiet the rest of the night. With the morning light it was evi dent from the position of the vessels that the battle would be commenced some time during the day. The vessels had approached as near the entrance to the river as the obstructions would permit. Three barriers had been m.i; I .1,1 m t t ""V thrown across the stream at a distance of 20 yards from each other. On the left bank of the river four large forts, admirably built of mud, were connect ed with each other by shore batteries. At the mouth of the river was a very large fort, from which were subse quently fired the heaviest guns. On the right hand side the river were three other forts, connected by shore batter ies. These forts and batteries were manned, as was subsequently ascer tained, by about 23,000 men. About 3 p. m. one of the gunboats, with the admiral's flag flying, com menced ascending the river, while the other vessels remained at anchor. As soon as the Starling had passed the first barrier,-which had been blown up during the night, firing was commenced by the forts, which was at once return ed by all the vessels, and the balls soon flew like hailstones. In half an hour we could see from the deck of our vessel that the shots from the forts were cutting up the boats, while the forts were scarcely injured by the small battery directed against them. At 5 o'clock a young officer came from the admiral's ship, wearied and exhausted, with the blood streaming down his face, to tell the commodore that the admiral was lying on his deck severely, If not mortally, wounded. His captain had been killed, and but three men were left capable of doing duty. This officer had been sent to order up the re-enforcements, but the tide had fallen so that the English gunboats were un able to execute this order. The small boats of the vessels were the only means by which the re-enforcements could be sent up the river, but they could not stem the tide, which runs fearfully strong in this river, and the wind was so high that it was evidently impossible by this means of convey ance that assistance could reach the admiral in time to be of any use. Tlie young British officer had inti mated, but had not said in so many words, that assistance from us would relieve the situation. Commodore Tatt nall turned to me and said: "I must ei ther help Hope or return to the Pow hatan. I can't stand here and see them shot to pieces!" I agreed that we ought to give them aid, at which one of the officers of our marines who was standing near said loud enough for us to hear, "This is not neu trality." The commodore looked at him se verely and then turned to me, "Blood is thicker than water!" he cried. "Georgia will stand by us!" One of my staff officers replied ear. castically, "I thought these were offi cers of the United States, and not of the state of Georgia." But Tattnall was not to be held back by sarcasm, and we went down with our steamer, the Toey-wan, and towed the marines in the Junks, who were first placed In small boats, up to help Admiral Hope. It took several trips to accomplish this, and we met with some loss ourselves. The cockswain of the commodore's boat was killed, and the same bullet that killed him passed between the legs of Flag Lieutenant Trent-hard, who afterward became fa mous in service. After having towed up the boats the Toey-wan came to anchor at 7 p. m. between the French gunboat and the Corarnandel. From our position we had a full view of the boats as they landed the men upon the shore. The forts and the water batteries opened upon them a deadly fire. We could see the men fall in their boats even before they touched the landing, yet. they moved steadily on. As they reached the shore they fell in crowds. Of the 600 men compos ing the storming party at least 100 had fallen before they gained the shore. There a most terrible fate awaited the survivors. Landing at the approach of night upon a shore of which they were entirely ignorant, at low water, with a fast rising tide, they found that they TEHPLE WHERE THE TREAT were separated from the forts, first, by mud and water waist deep, as well as by a wide canal filled with water, which no one could cross without swimming, and by another ditch filled with sharp iron spikes. It was soon apparent that there was no safety but in retreat. One of the officers told me that when they had crossed the canal they had not a weapon that would fire, so wet had their ammunition become. The retreat was as fatal as the land ing. The Chinese sent up Are rockets, and by their light shot down men who could not return the flre. When the day dawned, the squadron was a wreck. Less than one-half of the land force had escaped unhurt. Three hundred of the landing party, besides 8 officers and 23 men of the little squadron, had been killed. The wounded were towed by the Toey-wan over the bar in three large barges attached to her stern, to the ships in the gulf, and thus were the first tidings of the fight received by the French and English ministers. It was now evident that, with the French and English, I could not reach Peking. I had faithfully endeavored to do so, because by their treaties I could visit Peking in a very much more satisfactory manner than by going un der the provisions of my own treaty. But I was the bearer of a treaty, .which had been approved by niy government. and my duty was plafn to carry out my instructions and have it exchanged if possible. I therefore opened commu nications with the governor general, in forming him that I was there by invi tation of the commissioners of Shang hai; that I was charged with an auto graph letter from the president of the United States. I asked him to provide me with the means of conveyance in accordance with the provisions of the American treaty. These negotiations resulted In immediate preparations for my departure for Peking. Sir Frederick Bruce, in his official re port to his government, saw the differ ent positions which we occupied, and in his communication to the Earl of Malmesbury of July 15, 1859, uses the fol lowing language in reference to my de parture for Peking: "Mr. Ward's posi tion is one of considerable difficulty. Nor do I see, after our unsuccessful at tempt at the Pei-Ho, that any course was open save the one he has pursued. He has acted cordially and frankly In the spirit of his declarations to me at Hongkong, and it is a matter of satis faction to me that his concert in our previous proceedings is a strong argu ment in favor of the line of conduct pursued by De Bourbillon and myself." On Oct. 10, 1859, Lord Lyons, then the British minister to the United States, addressed a letter to the Hon. Lewis Cass, secretary of state of the United States, of which the following is a copy WiSHIJJOTOH, Oct. 10, 1859. Sir Her majesty's minister in China has not failed to bear testimony to the friendly feelings of the United States envoy, Mr. Ward, and of Flag Officer Tattnall and to the assistance which they rendered during the late operations at the Pei-Ho river. llVr majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs has instructed me to express to the president of the United States and to you, sir, the thanks of her majesty's government for the as sistance thus rendered to her majesty's service by those distinguished officers and to request that such thanks may he conveyed to them through the regular official channel. I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient humble servant, LtoXS. The Honorable I-ewis Cass, etc. The Pei-Ho being so obstructed as to render its ascent impossible, it became necessary to land at a small town call ed Pit-sang, about eight miles north of the Ta-ku forts, and thence to cross the country so as to strike the Jei-Ho about 40 miles from the place of land- OF TIENTSIN WAS SIGNEtj) ing, at a city called Tien-tsin, situate upon its banks above the obstructions. On the morning of the 19th of July I left the steam frigate Powhatan in a small steamer and anchored off Pit sang, where I spent the night. Land ing at daylight, we commenced our Journey across the country. We were furnished with saddle horses and carts without springs, for the land portion of our Journey, which was accomplished in two days, was through a most bar ren and uninteresting country. The whole of the vast plain from the gulf to Peking, a distance of about 100 miles. Is only a few feet above the level of the sea. On the evening of the second day we reached the banks of the Pei-Ho, where we found that the most luxurious ac commodations that the empire could afford had been prepared for our party. The finest boats had been fitted up for us. My boat, being the largest, had one sitting room and three sleeping apart ments. Others were accommodated in boats of similar description. The cap tain told me that he was 64 years of age and was born on board the boat. It had been in his family more than a hundred years. It was the residence of his entire family. He had two mothers (his father having left two widows), two wives and four children, all pre- ir4 sentihg a picture fit happiness. Ov the doors of the rooms were various in scriptions; over my sleeping apartment the following: "A silver candlestick an nounces Joy, and a flame radiates flow ers." The boats were drawn by trackers, and, the current running strongly against us, our progress was very slow. The emperor had issued an edict forbidding the use of animals, becausa of the injury done by them to the banks of the river. The natural Ques tion was asked, ff the mules we saw grazing In the fields had not better be employed in pulling the boats, and the 22 men used as trackers for each boat be engaged in repairing the injury the mules might do the banks? The Chi nese reply was given that it was cheap er to hire the men thun to feed th mules. Copyright, 1900, by John E. 'Ward.J DOMINICAN NLXS AS BLACKSMITHS. At the end of the nineteenth century women have so come to the fore In trades and professions which were for merly the monopoly of men that it is not exactly surprising to find that there are women blacksmiths, but to see a nun wielding the hammer certainly seems strange. Yet this is a sight which may be seen any day at the Domin ican convent near King Wil liam's Town, In Cape Colony. When, years ago, the good sisters turned their backs up on Europe and settled down in South Africa to carry on the work of their church, they found that th'j Boers looked up on them with considerable sus picion and re sentment. Soon extensive farm. Established themselves blacksmiths. the nuns bought an and, as they found trreat difficulty in getting laborers, they set to and plowed the land themselves. Rut, alas, even in a convent accidents will happen, and one day the plowshare was broken. There was no blacksmith in the neighborhood, and the accident to the plow seemed quits a little calamity, but the nuns grappled pluckily with the difficulty and turned it to advan tage. They sent to Cape Town for ma terials and tools and started a smithy of their own, A blacksmith was found to act as tu tor, and under his teaching the nuns be came expert as blacksmiths. Before very long the pupils were the equals of their tutor, for what they lacked in strength they made up for In steady, hard work, and when the worthy man once so far forgot himself as to go off "on a spree" they decided that they were better without him, and from that time managed their smithy without any help. To do their own blacksmithlng was a considerable undertaking, but the nuns were capable of greater things. They found that such work was appre ciated by their British and Boer neigh bors and, moreover, that It was well paid. Accordingly they built a smithy, with a brick forge, and all the neces sary paraphernalia of the trade, and es tablished themselves as blacksmiths. The blacksmiths of the Dominican convent are experts at their art, and their neighbors seem to take special pleasure In seeing the hardworking, brown robed sisters at their daily toil. There in the smithy the visitor from King William's Town will see one sis ter busy making hinges, staples, hooks and other articles of builders' hard ware, while close by, with her nail box beside her, is another member of the community engaged in shoeing the horse which stands so patiently with its hoof resting on her knee. Others of the sisters are busy on the farm hoe ing, planting or plowing, and the visitor cannot but be struck with their healthy, rosy, sun tanned faces. Toil at the forge or in the field makes the members of this South African community of Dominicans very differ ent in appearance from the wan and pale nuns we are so accustomed to see ing in this country, and they have an air of health and happiness which la most pleasant to see. f i A GOOD STORY. John Drew gives the following as "One of the Best Stories I Ever Heard:" "He had lost his Iffe in the great Johnstown flood. He was dead, but the appalling scenes and incidents of that terrible event were still the only things on which he could fix his thoughts. As he entered the pearly gates of the spirit world he was so full of his subject that he felt he must talk of It. ."He approached an aged man and told him the story of how he died and gave him a vivid word picture of the scenes of devastation in connection with the flood. It was a lurid tale; but, to the Johnstown man's surprise, Ma auditor showed little Interest In It in fact, he seemed rather bored. The flood victim told the next man he accosted of the old man's indifference to his story. 'That's not strange.' said the second man. 'Do you know who that was?' 'I do not,' replied the Pennsylva nian. 'I've only Just arrived.' 'Oh,' said the other, 'that account for it. You were talking to Noah.' HIS HONOR SATISFIED. "Vat ees eet, Jean?"

New Comedy Is In a Different Vein From Former Ones. Chances Are Good For a Topeka Booking of Mr. Reed. Roland Reed is one of the most prom inent American comedians who will ap pear in new vehicles next season. His latest comedy is from the pen of Syd ney Rosenfleld, and is entitled "A Mod ern Crusoe," and while it is said to be in an entirely different vein from his former comedies, a season of unusual success is predicted for him. A year ago last April Roland Reed was seen in Topeka in "His Father's i!oy." Prior to that time he had not visited this city for several years. It is understood that he is to make a south ern tour with "A Modern Crusoe," and in such event will again be seen here. Mr. Reed has but lately recovered from a second attack of appendicitis, and for weeks was in a critical condi tion. He is said to be rapidly regain ing his former strength, however, and intends opening early at the Boston Museum. The season will be his four teenth as a star. In talking of himself and his early stage career to a. representative of the Uramatic Mirror, Mr. Reed recently said: "I was born In Philadelphia on June IS, 1S52. My father, John Roland Reed who was widely known as "Pop" Reed was connected with the Walnut Street theater, Philadelphia, from 1842 until 1SS5. His record there of sixty one years with one theatre has prob ably never been equaled. He was the father of thirteen children, of which number I was the twelfth, and nearly every one of us appeared on the stage of the Walnut Street theatre while we were in infancy. I made my debut aa the baby in the once popular farce, Mr. and Mrs. Peter White, and I had the honor, upon that occasion, to be car ried on the stage in the arms of Tom Placide, who played the role of Peter Whit. I continued to be the stage baby until I grew large enough to play chil dren's parts, and when I outgrew that line I became the stage-door-keeper of the theater. I went regularly to gram mar school during that period and at night studied the lessons while "guarding the door. Among the people who pass ed in and out every evening were many then famous personages of the stage. But at that time I had aspirations in the direction of the grocery business, and was busy mastering the German language, so perhaps I did not heed the celebrities as I should have later on. Handsome, aristocratic John Wilkes Booth stopped one night and talked with me a bit. He gave me a dollar when he said good-by. I never saw him again. Six months later he was dead. "One day while I was at school a mes senger from Airs. John Drew went to my father's house looking for me. My moth er immediately sent for me, and it then appeared that Mrs. Drew wanted me to act as usher at the Arch Street theater. I at once accepted, and from Mrs. Drew I received my first regular salary In a theater. Before many weeks had passed I was transferred from the front to the back of the curtain, where I properly be longed. I acted as callboy for some time and then, though I was under 16 years old, I assumed the responsible duties of prompter. At that period, when a dif ferent play was put on every night by the stock company, the prompter had no easy task. A part of my work and the hardest part to me was the reading, before the assembled company, of every new play chosen for production. I had a bad lisp in my speech, as a boy, which added to the embarrassment and misery of these performances. But I have long been glad that I had that experience, since it taught me more about the plays of the period than I could have learned in any other way. WOES OF A MANAGER. Story of Charlie Elliott's. Experience "With an Ancient Female. What constitutes some of the woes of the theatrical manager is shown by the following story from the ChicagoChron- lcie in which Charles Elliott figures. Mr. Elliott was formerly associated with L. M. Crawford in the management of the Grand Opera House In this city. "Local Manager Elliott of Hopkins' theater a day or two ago received a call trom a woman who was as deter mined to go on the stage as any of the tremendous army of the stage-struck, young or old. he has met in his profes sional career. She was past the Juve nile limit, but was 'willing to work in any part," with a preterence for 'leads, and was not only willing to accept a small salary at the outset, but offered to buy the manager a 'nice, cheap suit or clothes if tie would only engage her. According to her, she many years ago participated In some amateur theatri cals, where her genius was permitted to shine for a few memorable evenings and she had been told ever since of the great hit she had made. She was doom ed to disappointment, however. Man ager Elliott informed her that degraded public taste Just now will not have the only grade of drama worthy of her genius." HOYT NOW AT HOME. Playwright is Receiving Treatment at His Country Residence. Charles H. Hoyt, the plavwright. has been released from the Hartford retreat where he was committed July 26. He is now under treatment at his home In Charlestown. There seems to be a difference of opin ion as to the playwright's condition. Some believe that certain persons with designs on the fortune of $300,000 or $400, 0oo which Mr. Hoyt has accumulated, had him placed in the asylum, while others are of the opinion that he is an incurable paretic as certified to by one of the phy sicians. At the time of his commitment a corespondent of a Chicago paper wrote of the scene as follows: "The last curtain has rung down for poor Charley Hoyt, the funmaker. The lights are growing dim. The musicians are packing up their instruments. The audience has turned its back on the man who made millions laugh by his stingless humor. 'In the silent tomb lies the dust of Caror line Miskel-Hoyt, his ideal, the woman whose death broke the golden thread which held him to light and life and hap piness. She is scarcely more dead than he. Today he made his last appearance in public. It was a vain appeal of a poor, wrecked mind, unconscious of the wreck age, that he might be allowed to go at large. It was vain, because impossible. The hands which have shut the doors of an asylum upon Charley Hovt, the play wright, have done it in mercy. He has paresis. There is but one cure for him the sleep which Caroline Miskel-Hoyt has found in the quiet of her grave. "Unconscious of his own condition for paresis Is merciful to that extent but re alizing that he had been forcibly deprived of his freedom, Mr. Hoyt stood in the presence of Judge Harrison B. Freeman in the probate court and a few newspaper men and pleaded for his liberty. He could not understand it all. 'I have had a great deal of trouble. Judge,' Hoyt said. 'I lost my wife and child.' "His voice choked. Those who watched him closely saw his Up trembling. He was thinking of the young mother whose coffin lid he saw screwed down, and the dead babe on her breast- He could still remember them. He was silent for half a minute. When he resumfll his voice was trembling. 'I don't want to make and trouble,' he said, 'but I think' the man paused. His weakened mind W2S wavering now. He had made his last appeal. He could think of nothing more to say. "Only once in his conx-ersation was there a flicker of the old Hoyt, the Hoyt of 'A Parlor Match," and "A Trip to Chinatown' fame. 'I don't know much about law,' he said. "I studied law for a year, judge, and at the end of the year I asked the lawyer with whom I was studying how he thought I was getting on. "Well, Hoyt," he said, "I know all your stories and you know all mine." So I gave up "Charley Hovt's last witticism. The voice of the 'Midnight Bell' has sounded for him. Alas! Poor Yorick." DREW AS RICHARD CARVEL. Polished New York Actor to Appear la Stage Version of the NoveL The1 announcement that John Drew is to play in the title role of "Richard Car vel'," has caused considerable surprise, says a New York paper, for it was thought that Mr. Frohman, after de ciding that James K. Hackett should at the Garden theater. New Tork, Octo ber 1, there is an assured confidence that It will be a magnificent example of Shakespearean revival. For the scenic investiture IS fine pictures have been prepared. The company will include 250 people and more than 750 costumes are required to dress them in the various scenes. I ndeed, the spectacular features of the production are so elaborate that only an actor of unlimited means and great enterprise would dare to indulge in eo costly a venture. Mrs. Fiske's Tour. Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske has spent most of the summer in the Swiss Alps, where she went after stops in Naples, Rome, Florence, Milan and Venice and to the Italian lakes. She will return the last week in this month and begin re hearsals of "Becky Sharp" on Septem ber 3. Her tour will open early in Oc tober and will reach many cities where the play has never been given. She has recently had three overtures for appear ance in London in some of the leading theaters, but had to decline because of preengagements in this country. She has promised, however, to appear in London as soon as she can arrange her affairs so as to admit. Murphy on Promenading. "It seems to me," said Mr. Tim Murphv recently, "that the custom of promenading the lobbies of theaters be tween the acts is a good one to encour age, for the sake of the play itself, and interest always flags more or less when the body becomes tired. The body is perfectly willing to give its master the mind all the pleasure the latter de mands, until the servant begins to feel weariness, and then its demand for sym- imm wM fill wk3v ifp Roland Reed, the Comedian, Who Will Be Seen in "A Modern Crusoe Next Season. not appear in the piece, had contempla ted taking one of his prominent youtii leading men and preparing him to be come a star. On September 11 Mr. Drew will begin his annual engagement at the Empire theater. The presentation of "Richard Carvel" will require anotner company in addition to Mr. Drew's reg ular organization, and with the possible exception of "Romeo and Juliet It will be the most pretentious production ever seen on the Empire stage. It will be var ied as well as picturesque, for the play shows glimpses of early fashionable life in America and England. This will be Mr. Drew's first appearance in costume since his appearance asPetruchio in"The Taming of the Shrew." Mr. Frohman selected Mr. Drew for this role because of his dexterity with the sword and his personal qualities, which will be of great assistance to him in the impersonation of the young Amer ican gentleman of that period. An inter esting fact in connection with the dra matiziation of "Richard Carvel" is that Charles Frohman. when he secured the rights of dramatization from Winston Churchill, the author, had John Drew in mind for the part. Mr. Frohman wa3, however, under contract to present at the opening of this season a new play by Hadden Chambers. He then decided to produce Richard Carver at the Cri terion theater, and under an arrange ment with Daniel Frohman to have Mr. J. K. Hackett play the part. Mr. Hack- ett's financial success in "The Pride of Jonnico" was so great, however, that his manager felt warranted in keeping him in the role another season. It has been found that Mr. Chamber's play will not be ready until later on. This gives Chas. Frohman the opportunity to place the role of Richard Carvel with Mi. Drew, where he had originally intended it, THE GREATEST PRODUCTION It "Will Be Richard Mansfield's Re vival of "King Henry." By far the greatest dramatic produc tion of the present season will be "King Henry V," which Mr. Mansfield is pre paring in a manner so splendid that it fairly promises to be the most elaborate Shakespearean revival of this genera tion, says a Chicago exchange. Mr. Mansfield has had his mind set up on this venture for a number of years, and the thoughtful study which he has bestowed upon the play as a whole, with sepcial reference to the central charac ter, will now bear fruit in an effort cer tain to surpass Cyrano in affluence and dramatic consequence, at least in the de gree that Shakespeare is greater than Rostand. With his accustomed indifference to ordinary methods, Mr. Mansfield has not stood upon the outer battlements and proclaimed in swelling adjective the re markable scope and grasp of his enter prise. In England, when Mr. Iriving is about to undertake a revival of "Mac beth" or the Pickwickian Beerbohm Tree has "Midsummer Night's Dream' 'on the stocks, the press and the public is work- ea into a ventaDle tremor of expectancy. tveryuoay is made to understand that the impending affair is the event of the season, and as a consequence, on the op ening night, ihe excitement is at fever heat, no matter what it may be subse quently. Perhaps Mr. Mansfield is ton conservative and independent in his methods, but. Judged by results, the American people prefer other than circu3 metnoos in the higher drama. Various managers will beat the tom-tom and create more than a Salvation Armv dis turbance over insignificant plays saddled with manufactured stars, but he ignores sideshow methods, sticks to art, and when the time comes captures the pub lic with an artistic presentation. thus, when "King Henry V" is put on pathy and relief especially relief ser iously interferes with the continuance of mental concentration. To relieve this constraint by motion, and the change of place, gives freshness to interest, and makes the time of the waits seem less long." John Marble Shot. John Marble, who Is remembered in this city for his work as the undertaker in Hoyfs "A Milk White Flag," was shot and probably fatally wounded In a barroom in New York city by Henry Colins. a member of one of the theater orchestras there. The shooting was the outcome of an old grudge held by Colins against Marble. The latter was smok ing a cigar when shot, and refused to take the weed from between his lips until he reached the hospital. Little hope of his recovery is entertained. Theatrical Notes. Season after next Olga Nethersole will present a dramatization of Ouida's Under Two Flags." Wilton Lackaye's season in "Les Miserables" will not begin until the first part of next January. A brother of Richard Harding Davis will manage Weber and Fields' music hall the coming season. "The Widow Magoogin" papers are being dramatized by John Jennings for Rich and Harris. Francis Wilson's new opera, "Booloo Boolhoom. when translated into Eng lish is said to mean "The Hoodooed Hindool" Mary Stuart, a Bister of Stuart Rob son and a well-known character act ress, will return to the stage the com ing season, after an absence of two years. Martha Morton's new play, recently written for Herbert Kelsey and Effie Shannon, depicts the differences arising between an English husband and an American wife. Willis Steell is engaged with Edward Rose in dramatizing "The Battle of the Strong" for Marie Burroughs, in which that lady will star the coming season. Roland Reed will play under the man agement of E. B. Jack the coming sea son, and will put forward a new play, entitled "A Modern Crusoe." Last Tuesday Weber and Fields held their first rehearsal of their new bur lesque for the coming season. Its title will be "Fiddle-de-dee." Katherine Florence, who was William Gillette's leading lady last season, will assume the same duties with William Crane next season, playing the part of "Mary Blake" in "David Harum." Madame Sanff uene" is still a great success in Paris, and its 500th perform ance was recently celebrated with an elaborate breakfast to the performers presenting the play. The farce. "The House That Jack Built," written by George Broadhurst, Is written around a new home structure being erected by a wealthy but eccen tric doctor whose name is Jack. It is said to be very funny. James O. Lyford, a well known law yer of Concord, N. H., will probably be appointed business agent and guardian of Charles H. Hoyt, the playwright. who was recently released from an in sane asylum upon an order from court. Desiring to obtain the atmosphere and character of the place from life, Mr. Heme's latest production, "Sag Harbor." will be rehearsed in that an cient village, a call to that effect being issued during the week Dy the Liebler company. Keith, the continuous performance man. is said to be negotiating for the aters in Paris and Berlin to be run in conjunction with bis London bouse. Continuous variety on the American plan will be something new for Europe. The French play "Nicandra" is said to have caused a disruption of the friendly relations existing between Da vid Belasco and Mrs. Leslie Carter. A London report says that Mrs. Carter is jealous of Blanche Bates, as the latter is almost assured of a great success in the piece. Delia Fox's Japanese spaniel, valued at $1,500, died Wednesday. The dog's name was "Mommie" and was present ed to the actress by Dr Wolf Hopper. It became famous through the fact that it figured in several suits in the courts. Two successful musical burlesques that have been running in London will be seen in this country the comirtg sea son. "San Toy" will be handled by Ben Stevens and Edwin Price, while "The Messenger Boy" will be under the guid ance of Nixon Zimmerman. The en tire companies complete will be brought over from London. "The King of the Jews," a pottle play, written by Philips, will be pre sented by Richard Mansfield the com ing season. This Is the play that Beer bohm Tree, the London manager, claimed was written for him while he, in fact, has only the English rights. Author Philips says the play was ad vised by Mr. Mansfield. Alice Nielson's statistician is respon sible for the statement that next season the young prima donna will cover 38, 530 miles in her travels. For this long journey Miss Nielson's manager, Frank L. Perley, has considerately provided his star with a sumptuous private car, a maid, a porter and a steward. George Homans announces that he has secured Fred V. Bowers to write the incidental music of "In Rocky Mount," the new romantic comedy in which Charles Dickson will be starred next season. Harry B, Smith, manufacturer of the books of musical productions made in this country during the past ten years, has resigned his connection with Weber Fields and has entered into a con tract with Klaw Erlanger for a term of years. He has completed the book for "Foxy Quiller," which Klaw Er langer will produce in October. "My Lady Dainty," which has just been produced with a considerable suc cess in England, tells the story of a woman who, wooed by two suitors, gives the preference to the one having the most fascinating external qualities, despising the less glittering but more solid attributes of his rival, only to realize her error after a long and bitter course of marital disenchantment. Miss Maud White has been engaged by Daniel V. Arthur as leading lady for Stuart Robson when that player resumes his tour in "Oliver Goldsmith," in September. Miss White's particular ly graceful and petite blonde beauty will lend a distinct and charming per sonality to the role of Mary Horned-, and, Ju-ir-d from the viewpoint of past p. ifoimano s;, her portrayal of the part tiliculd approximate the beautiful char acter aa made known by biographers. IN I'YOMYLAND. fFrom the Pull Lfall Gazette.l An interesting uccoiiru of the pygmies of Central Africa. Is ylven by A. B. Lloyd, one of the Church Hn l ty's missionaries, in his book, "in Iwurf Land and Can nibal Country." 111a 11 rut interview with them took place In a cli-m-Hig- of the for est. While reading a Look he became aware of a number of little faces peering at him through the thicket. He held out his hands In sign of friendly greeting. Slowly and very shyly a pygmy advanced, started at the white man in amazement, and hid his face behind his hands. Other pygmies advanced behind their leader. I now (he says) had a complete view of tny visitors, and what struck me first of all was, naturally, the shortness of their stature. But, although they were so very short about four feet by subsequent measurement yet there was a powerful ness about their build that is not often seen in African races. Broad chested, with muscles finely developed snort, thick neck, and small bullet head, the lower limbs were massive and strong to a de gree. The chest was covered with black, curly hair, and most of the men wore thick, heavy beards. Each carried either bow and quiver of arrows, or short throw ing spears. Around their arms they wore iron rings, and some of them had these around their necks also. I chatted away to the little man who knew the Toro lan guage, and I was very much amazed at the smart way in which he answered mv questions. His knowledge of the language was iiol perieuL oy any means, ana ne often used words that were strange to me, and savored of Pygmyland, yet he spoke sufficiently well for me to be able to follow him. The pygmy leader explained that his country was seven days' journey in length by six in breadth. I next asked him the number of his people, and he took a piece of stick and broke it up into little pieces, about 40 in all, and said that each piece represented a chief, and he then went on t tell me the number of followers of each, some had 2(X, others only 50, and a few as many as 500. It was very simple then to calculate that the total number would be somewhere about 10.000. He told me that he knew long ago of my coming, and I asked him "How?'' He said that several days ago he saw me. "Saw me!" I said "When did you see me?" "I have seen you in the forest for six days." "But I did not see you." I said, and then he laughed most heartily and said: "No, I could not. see him, but he saw me." Upon further inquiry I found that a large party of these little creatures had been watching our every movement all through the forest, while we were in the most blissful ignorance of the fact. At every camp they had hovered about us, peering at us through the thicket as we passed. Why did they not atack us? is the question that kept com ing into my mind. If they are the thiev ish, wicked little people that they have been represented, why did they not molest us? We were entirely in their power and had been for the last six days. Perhaps it was our very helplessness that pro tected us they saw that we were not as the other white men who had passed through their forest, armed with guns, and having a big following of soldiers: or perhaps I had been overheard speaking in tne language or ioro to my ooys, ana tnis had given tnem confidence, l nrmiy De lieve, however, that they are not untrust worthy folk, as is usually supposed, but, like most Africans, when not interefered with they are perfectly harmless. Happened to Roosevelt in the West From the Chicago Tribune. There was one story about Governor Roosevelt's recent visit to Chicago that was told by the governor himself as be ing the star incident of his western trip. 'The day I arrived on my way west, said the governor, "one of my callers was a citizen of Joliet, who was slight ly the worse for imbibing, but his man ner was so original and so funny I couldn't resist listening to him. He made a short political speech and then he paid me two or three compliments. He talked about the Cuban war and bear hunting, and finally he said: 'Governor, we are anxious to have you make a speech in Joliet (when you pass through on Sunday night. I told him I would not make a speech there. W ell, we want to see you, anyway. he said. 'There'll be a big crowd down at the depot to see you.' I told him I would be glad to see the citizens of Joliet, and bade him good-by. 'Good-by, colonel," he said. 'Good- by.' Then, lowering his voice, said in the most confidential tone you could imagine: The boys want to take a band down to the depot, governor, and if you'll lend me $25 I'll see that they get it.

Japan seems to be bearing ita share ff the white man's burden. It's too hot even for horses to run away, but there was an elopement in town yesterday. "When they begin to advertise "those dainty shirtwaist effects for men" you can consider it settled. Twenty-five hundred vest makers in JTew-York have struck. There's another point in favor of the man's shirt waist. The number of men who went to the circus "just to take the baby" were as numerous Friday in Topeka. as usual. With the legations found safe in Pekin doubtless the rush and hurry of troops and munitions to the Orient will cease. A Topeka citizen complains of the Rev. Charies M. Sheldon because he cays there are worse places than Kan sas. Doubtless what now bothers wise old Li Hung Chang is that he will wake up Borne morning to find himself Li Chang Hung. There is a disease called by some un pronounceable name indicating a lack of Joint water. Topeka is not suffering from that disease. It's a blessed thing for Kansas that the wheat crop this year was such a decided success. Corn cobs will not supersede coal for fuel this fall. Tradition may be stronger than the Chinese wall. The allies passed the latter and tradition may not defend Itself against the shirt waist for men. The Chinese must have heard that siege battery O from IX Riley was booked to sail from 'Frisco August 20. Tou can't blame them for refusing to protract the thing any longer. The Manila authorities report the presence of 30,000 lepers in the Philip pines. No wonder Spain was willing to sell that portion of her territory to Uncle Sam for twenty million dollars. This thing of water tanks burning up Is rather piling it on. One caught fire in North Topeka yesterday from an engine spark. If torridity continues to chase all moisture from wood, engines must cease sparking. Wouldn't it be a pretty good idea for American missionaries to confine their labors to the local field and keep away from China in the future. There is plenty of work in the United States for active Christian laborers. The present war in the Orient is an object lesson for those who care to read. Roosevelt is to have an oratorical sleuth, a speech contradictor in the per son of Charles A. Towne. That's Towne's assignment from the Democratic nation al committee. They will both work the same side of the street, as it were, Ted die first and Charley second, and every where that Teddie went that Towne will be sure to go. The citizens of Topeka, regardless of politics, seem determined to give cordial welcome to "V. J. Bryan on his visit here August 23. This is as it should be. Nothing will advertise the city more than to show courtesy to our visiting guests. Press notices of the event will be flashed over the entire country and Topeka 6hould and will make a credita ble showing. Let Kansas avenue be a mass of fluttering decorations. Fitzsimmons and Jeffries are calling each other cowards now. After they nearly lambasted the lives out of each other a year ago one couldn't speak too highly of the other. "Fitz is the gamest fighter I ever met." said Jeffries. Said Fitz: "Jeff is brave as a lion and a great puncher" "Coward" is the word now. They must appear to be enraged in view of the coming match. There's more interest when enemies fight. SERVANT GIRL QUESTION. The editor of the St. Joe Gazette Herald is evidently face to face with the hired girl question for his overbur dened heart has found an outlet in the following: "The threat of servants to organize a labor union, if threat it can be called, is causing consternation in the large cities, where domestic service is a problem that persUtenly refuses to settle itself or be settled. It is not easy of comprehension how domestics could benefit themselves by organizing. They could do no good unless it were their intention to devote themselves to self culture. The mere matter of or ganizing for the purpose of writing cabalistic signs on kitchen walls, in forming servants who came after of the mistress' peculiarities, will not avail. The capable servant who does everything as it should be done, and who knows how to do everything con nected with the establishment, is the one who always receives good wages and occupies the pleasant place." SILENCE OF THOMAS E. REED. Early in June it was announced in the Associated Press dispatches that ex Speaker Thomas B. Reed would not be invited by the Republican national com mittee to take the stump this fall for President McKinley. It was stated at the time that Mr. Reed's sarcasm has made several well known party leaders in New York weary and that his flings at the president were doing more harm than all the Demo cratic speakers put together. Another paper, high up in administra tion circles, gave it out that the man from Maine was on Mr. Hanna's "black list," For Just what reason is not stated. It should be remembered that Mr. Reed has a long memory and has a "black list" of his own and high up at the top of the column is -emblazoned the name of the senator from Ohio, Marcus A. Hanna. The ex-speaker can not forget that four years ago none were so active in fighting his presidential boom as the campaign head of the present adminis tration, i Perhaps this is one of the strongest reasons why Mr. Reed will not stump Maine this fall for the Republican ticket. It will be the first time in twenty years that he has failed, to uplift his voice on his native heath prior to November elec tions. It is pertinent also toquestion whether the ex-speaker is under any obligations to herald publicly from the stump the very political doctrines which he is known to disavow. The air is charged with talk of co lonial possessions and expansion. His appearance in the campaign would give aid to the administration which has tri umphed over him.even though he should avoid the topic of imperialism. Mr Reed has done as much for his party as his party has done for him and is entitled to be let alone in his busy law practice in New York. IF YOU DRIVeT DRIVE BIGHT. The time is coming, perhaps not with in the limits of the life of the present generation, but it is coming nevertheless in Topeka, when the streets will not be the scenes of daily blockades by persons driving on Kansas avenue. When this millenium reaches us people going north will be compelled to keep on the right, or the east side of the street with their vehicles, while those tarveling in the op posite direction will be required to take the west side. During an afternoon on Kansas ave nue the reckless driving on the part of shoppers and teamsters is such tha; the flesh of the ordinary mortal In a vehicle creeps when he sees the danger of im mediate contact between buggies or car riages. Women with their eyes in one direction, their lines pulled in the oppo site direction, go blindly down the street. Men driving heavily loaded trucks ride sleepily along through theerowds.paying no heed to any one. Others must get out of the way. Then there is another offensive character in the person of some of the coachmen who seem to think the street is theirs by right of some heaven ly law which does not operate among the meek and lowly citizens, and they stop anywhere, compelling others to do the best thy can. All of these elements contribute to tne pain one experiences when edeavoring to get along Kansas avenue on a busy day. People seem, as a rule, to have no re gard for others. They insist upon hav ing what they want regardless of the inconvenience which comes to other peo ple. They plant themselves at any place and are undisturbed even if a procession a block long is stopped by them. The up-to-date city divides the streets and has ordinances regulating driving and riding. Topeka will sometime reach that stage and there will be oeed of a school to teach the directions to the av erage person who drives. The class of people who drive and expect others to do the turning out of the road to let them pass is too large to be treated in a news paper article, the one class, the public unicnnfp whirh blockades the streets, be ing the one which is the subject of this brief discussion. Something should be done.. The daily blockades are danger ous to life and property. People who do not take steps to protect themselves should be taken under the wing of the city law-makers and submit to teaching as to the way they should go. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. The question of restricting immigra tion will again agitate the people of this country, for the reports for the fiscal year from the immigration bureau show the largest number of arrivals since the year 1S92, during which year the figures went beyond the 600,000 mark. The im migration movement is in exact propor tion with the financial and Industrial condition of the country. When the peo ple are prosperous emigrants come here from all parts of the world and when times are hard the immigration falls off. It is true that our laws are more stringent than they once were and our inspection system has been constantly improving but nevertheless. We are get ting a large number of Undesirable peo ple into the country because our laws are not as strict as they should be. The report of the commissioner shows that one-third of the enormous immigration of the past fiscal year was made up of illiterate persons. It is almost impossi ble to instruct an illiterate foreigner and the expense of education is greatly in creased by this quality of immigration. This country can not afford to allow its political destinies to be entrusted to men who can not read or write. In a republic education is absolutely essential for good government and the day will come when literacy will be necessary for the franchise. A law restricting foreign immigration to those who can read and write should be passed by the next congress. There is enough trouble in this country from ig norance without accepting all the scum of the world to make it worse. Besides the question of literacy the im migrant should be required to have enough money to support himself at least three months, but the report shows that the average immigrant has less than $10. The German immigrant is ex cepted in both cases, but the Germans have quit coming at the rate they form erly did and the great majority of the immigrants are Italians and Poles, and they are the worst of their respective races. If this country is blessed with four more prosperous years and immi gration is not restricted, it will contain over one million ignorant foreigners who are paupers and yet who have as much voice politically as an equal number of responsible business men. The question is a serious one and deserves immediate attention. USE OF THE FIRE BELL. The question of the fire bell is one of perhaps more importance than most peo ple appreciate. The question will come up before long before the city council for discussion. The Topeka fire department needs the fire bell. The people wish it. The ar gument that the ringing of the bell at tracts a crowd is offset by the fact that if the bell is not rung the neighborhood to the fire furnishes a crowd Just the same. Careful people watch for the fire engines when they hear the bell ring. Careless people will be careless, bell or no bell. The doing away with the fire bell will work hardship upon Chief Wilmarth and his men. The chief has many duties to demand his attention in all parts of town besides fires. If he i3 away from head quarters inspecting a building and hears the fire bell ring he knows where to go. Without the fire bell he would have no means of knowing anything about flres when he was away from the stations. The men are on duty 24 hours in the day. They get a half day off once in nine days. They go to their meals but if a fire occurs while they are off at meal time they hear the bell and know where to go and respond to the alarm if nec essary. If they wish to leave the station for a short time on business they are al lowed to do so and if there is an alarm during their absence they are cognizant of the fact by the ringing of the bell and they go at once to the fire. With the bell the companies are able to exercise their horses and go to the blacksmith and wagon shops and be aware of alarms without loss of time with the fire bell in use. The fire department will be seriously handicapped without the fire bell. INGALLS' LAST VISIT IN TOPEKA John J. Ingalls' death recalls the last time he visited Topeka in a public ca pacity. It was on Labor Day, several years ago, and he was scheduled for a speech at Garfield park in the afternoon. Kansas' most famous statesman for John J. Ingalls was Kansas' most fa mous statesman arrived over the Santa Fe from his home in Atchison. It was known just what hour he would reach here, but notwithstanding, there was not even a committee of one to meet him at the station. He boarded an electric car and rode to the Copeland hotel. He passed along Kansas avenue as the La bor Day parade was in progress, and al though many caught a glimpse of the familiar face, the remark of "There goes John J. Ingalls" was as much recogni tion as he received. On previous visits during the time he represented Kansas in congress and pre sided over the United States senate, his arrival had been the signal for a demon stration and he had been escorted along the streets of Topeka in a way befitting the most prominent citizen of the state. But his last visit was after he had disappeared from public life, and his re ception was a commentary on fame, John J. Ingalls, the citizen, was allowed to arrive unobserved and find his hotel as best he might, while John J. Ingalls, the senator, had been met with the crash of bands and the welcome of a thousand voices, and paraded in state along the streets of the capital of the state he represented. His last reecption here was a slight. He felt it keenly, and never returned to Topeka on public business. The eulog ies which those who knew him in To peka may deliver now can never atone for the hurt that was inflicted then. GLOBE SIGHTS.

"TheLane that Has No Turning" is the title of a new book by Mr. Gilbert Par ker, w hich w ill be published by Double day Page Co., in the autumn. It is a drumath story of Quebec, Mr. Parker's favorite literary hunting-ground, and will be the first book published by Mr. Parker since 1898. ..n.i, Tinn.te wiffhwQv Rv Marv E. Wilkins, New York: Doubleday, Page Co., J1.30. This is a romance of Virginia in the c.-antanVi centnrv and the name of the author is sufficient to assure the reader that substantial entertainment i before him. Mistress Mary Cavendish, who had "a tabby petticoat of a crim son color, and a crimson bodice shining over her arms and shoulders like the plumage of a bird," was a fascinating young woman, and it was well worth while to write the story of her fortunes. Mistress Cavendlish moves in the midst of a semi-historical romance, of which the action is laid just after the rebellion of Boston. One of the dramatic inci dents of the story is the burning of the young tobacco crop to elude the Naviga tion act. Histroical tales are reigning favorites of the time, and this, the first of the kind written by Miss Wilkins, will assuredly attract w ide attention. "The Bath Comedy." By Agnes and Kgerton Castle, New York: The Freder ick A. Stokes company. The popularity of the play, "The Pride of Jennico," based on a novel by these authors, ought to bespeak a ready audi ence for this their latest work. The pres ent story is founded on a motive by no means new, but every novel reader knows that this should make no differ ence in the excellence of a book if the treatment of the incidents and the char asters is ingenious. The action of this tale is laid in the fashionable resort of Bath, and the period is the end of the eighteenth century. Mrs. Kitty Bellairs, the belle of the place, is annoyed by the seeming indiff erence of her husband, and she takes the advice of a friend to en deavor to arouse his interest by making him jealous. The results are altogether unexpected and are decidedly exciting. These incidents are related in an enter taining style and the book will have many readers. The volume is beautifully made and has a unique binding. "The Girl at the Halfway House." By E. Hough, 12mo. New York: D. Appletoa Co. $1.50. Mr. Hough, who wrote "The Story of the Cowboy," which showed that the author understood the great western country as well as its much maligned inhabitants, has just finished a novel of western life and character which might be called an epic of the west. The story opens with a dramatic description of the battle of Fredericksburg; then the scene moves further west as the reader follows the perigrination of the hero and his friend, a picturesque old army veteran, to the frontier then found on the western plains. While the thread of this story, which is a tale full of romance and pic turesqueness and love is being unwound the author manages to give a graphic picture of the principal periods through which the west has passed in the last forty years. We have the period of war, of the buffalo, of the cattle, and of the plow. The motif fully illustrates the great movement from the east westward and the free play of primitive forces in the opening of a vast and almost un known wilderness. "Concerning Cats." By Helen M. Winslow. Boston: The Lothrop Pub lishing company. It is true that there are some persons with prejudices against cats, yet the cat should not be judged by the unfortunate specimens of the type which are com pelled to sing in the streets at night for a living. Helen M. Winslow, who is well known as the editor of Clubwoman, chances, also, to be an authority on the nature, purpose, aud treatment of the cat, and in. the present book she has managed to bring together for the in formation of her fellow-men and her sister-women a vast amount of instruc tion, most of which, it may frankly be said, w as badly needed. How many per sons know what to do for poor puss w hen she is sick? For the matter of that, how many know what ought to be done for her when she Is well? Miss Winslow's book contains full directions for either case, and also gives all kinds of infor mation about pet cats, fancy cats, prize cats, and any other cats. It is really a valuable book, and literally fills a long felt want. It is readable and pleasant for the summer days.

"The Biography of a Grizzly." By Ernest Seton-Thompson. New Y'ork: The Century company. Probably very few men would believe it possible that the story of the life and death of a grizzly bear could be made pathetic. Yet it seems that it can. In his "Biography of a Grizzly' Mr. Ernest Seton-Thompson has written such a tale. He writes of animals from an intimate acquaintance with their haunts and their habits. He has a remarkable in sight into what may be called the ani mal heart, and in this he perhaps re sembles Rudyard Kipling, whose person ifications of beasts in his'Mungle Books" have aroused interest all over the world. Wahb, the grizzly bear of Mr. Seton Thompson's book.ought to take his place beside Mowgli and the gray pack as a character in animal fiction. The book is beautifully illustrated with seventy five drawings in tints. SALOON OX WHEELS. Thirsty Persons Protect it From an Irate Marshal. Cleveland, O., Aug. 18. A saloon on wheels shocked the residents of the hamlet of Rockport beyond expression yesterday. Early in the morning a large moving van, fitted up as a saloon and stocked with beer and whisky, stopped at the roadside near the Purita3 Springs temperance picnic grounds. The tailboard of the wagon was let down as a bar and a rushing business done irom tne start. The hamlet mar shal attempted to raid the novel saloon. but the drinkers kept him and his as sitants from getting near enough to do anything. Then the barkeeper drove calmly over the hills to the lake. SWEETS OF MARRIED LIFE, Sad Experience of a Bald Husband Who Used Molasses to Catch Flies. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 18. A week ago Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Smith of this city went to Lake Winona. where in a tent they camped along the shoresand enjoy ed life. Mr. Smith is bald, and the humid weather of the past few days drove many flies into the tent. They saw Mr. Smith's tender spot, and did their duty. On Monday night they flocked in such numbers to Mr. Smith's head that he could not sleep. Being a man of ideas, he poured a cupful of mo lasses on a palm leaf fan, put it close to his head, and slept peacefully, the flies going for the molasses and leaving him alone. All went well until day break, when his wife, rather restless, turned over. The next moment piercing shrieks awoke Mr. Smith. He saw his wife tearing around, choking and sput tering, and with the fan, molasses, her face, and hair all mixed up. When he extricated her she vented her anger on him, left the tent and came to this city and had a warrant sworn out for him for assault. This morning he was taken bofore Alderman Donohue. His wife ac cused him of trying to smother her. He told his story meekly. The alderman said something about the sweets of married life and sent them home. "Come back in a week," he said, "and if you don't feel better I'll give my de cision."

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1900. 13 FOR THEJfOMEN. Shirt Waist Man Commands Their Attention. In Fact He is the All Absorbing Topic. PROCESS OFEVOLUTION How He Has Been Evolred From Fashion. Things That Will Interest Housekeepers and Others. It has long been the custom to bax man and his belongings from the col umns of the womans" page, but aa he Is beginning to approplrate the shirt waist, so long considered the exclusive property of woman, it seems time to devote a little space to him. Soon, probably by next summer the shirt waist man will be as common a Bight on the street as is the shirt waist girl now. He la coming to it by de grees; first he adopted the Btook and now his shirts are gradually losing the air of severe plainness that ,has so long characterized them. They come in all the daintiest shade are turked and pleated and some of them are wimmed with bands and stitching of white, but in spite of this few men yet feel at ease without their coats. Phirt makers are greatly perplexed over the question as few of them set their seal of a-pproval upon the shirt waist man. but as it is so late in the season the arbitrators of fashion will I 1

mwmjm VVs 'dJiUihlti- How Governor Roosevelt would look as a "shirt waist man." doubtless wait until next season before announcing their decision. A recent issue of the New York Jour nal devotes a page to the shirt waist man and quotes the words of a famous thirt maker of Mew York as follows: "I shall prepare," be said with an ominous shake of his head, "though I don't approve. We will borrow, yes, from the ladies, but with modifications serious modifications. "I should plan an ideal hem let us call it coatless shirt, loose, much looser than the ordinary woman's shirt. It should have three plaits down the front, and It should be gathered very full un der the collar in the back. Man's figure must be hidden, not revealed. "Of course, today we have a shirt for pports. but this is quite a different af fair from the creation that would fit a man to mingle in drawing rooms in the society of ladies. "Such a shirt would require the grav est consideration. In the cut of the sleeves, in the adjustment of the arm hole it would have to be perfect. "For an afternoon tea, for instance, the fabric should have to be rather dressy. Cheviot might do for morning Wear, but for afternoon or evening I would suggest silk or linen. "Hut tiie most important question is always the union of the belt line. "Any visible union is unpardonable. I should advocate a slight blouse ef fect. In this a man's shirt must ever diner from a woman's. It must be loose. "For stout men" The shirt maker paused reflectively. After a moment he continued decisively. "A stout man should never become a shirt-waist man: it is not possible. "Sashes will never come Into vogue they are too theatrical. The blouse ef fect is the only possible solution of the vexing question of proper union, as far as the shirt designer is concerned. It is up to the maker of trousers to find a suitable belt. "I shall be prepared yes, I shall pre par"." concluded the shirt maker, be cause I have already been consulted by ajjhtretns of the coatless man." Heard in the Stores. It Is said that artificial flowers will be used even more profuselv upon the evening gowns of the coming season. Thj iiolero. that has been popular for so long, is still one of the important features upon must of the up-to-date gowns. "Apricot" is one of the new shades, but it will probably not remain in fa vor lone. A pretty Paris gown in "apricot" is of crepe, trimmed with nil Mechlin lace and the inevitable "touch" of black velvet. Another new shade is known as sul phur color. Open work waists of all kinds are worn during the hot weather. em broidery and lace "all overs" being the favorites for entire waists, hut these are not all appropriate for street wear and the well dressed woman avoids them except for wear at home and in the evening. IJed in many brilliant shades will be worn a great deal as the fall weather approaches. The lace undersleevs which were adopted so warily "by the devotees of fashion have evidently come to stay the entire season, as they are seen on even the handsomest gowns. .When they are of dainty material and properlv made they add greatly to the appearance of a costume, but the amateur should never attempt them. The dust cloak of plain brown linen, worn by our grandmothers, differed greatly from the elaborate article by the same name worn by the modish woman of today. The dust cloak of today is usually of silk and so elabor ately trimmed that it gives one the im pression of attracting more dust thgr, it sheds. It come high up to the neck and at the foot sweeps the ground ail around. A Word to the Stout Woman. It is a mistake for a stout woman not to have some fullness at the back of her skirt, and, says, a writer in Har per's Bazar, a small bustle directly at the back will make her look smaller than if the skirt is allowed to hang in below the waist. A Email pad in half moon shape that is fastened to the skirt at each end, just at the middle of the back, makes a surprising difference in the hang of the skirt, and, oddly enough, seems to take away from the width of the hips and the size of the stomach. Vertical lines are in every instance the wisest choice for women who are at all inclined to stoutness. Bspecially in striped fabrics this question should be carefully considered, and the material made up according to some pattern which brings the lines mostly vertical. Should the Ekirt be so cut as to make the stripes run up to a point in the back this will not interfere with the be coming effect, but they should never run horizontally on a stout woman. Tucks and pleats, too, should be planned with this fact in mind. The several styles of skirts in vogue this summer allow for all types of figure. The Blim woman may be as fluffy as she chooses; the woman with no hips may have her skirts trimmed in yoke fashion; the stout woman may have tucks and verti cal trimming all may look well if they will merely give the matter a little thought. A Whim of Fashion. The fashion of leaving cards instead of actually paying a visit, says the Lon don Kxpress, is bringing into vogue a new profession for ladies, who must be well dressed women, and have their wits about them, so that they can be implicitly trusted by those who employ them. Some poor ladies, who are real ladies, are glad to take up this calling, and by it make a few pounds for their dress and holiday expenses. They hire a smart little brougham, or are lent her brougham by their employer whose cards they are to leave, and make their rounds systematically, leaving the re quired and correct number of paste boards at each house. Dishonest card leavers will play tiresome tricks: for example, they will call at times that are quite "impossiDie irom ine point ui view of the etiquette laid down for the guidance of such affairs. One smart woman in society was. much enraged this season by receiving, from an em bassy, too, a card as early as ten o'clock in the morning! A Summer Novelty. Novelties in accessories become more numerous and varied as the season ad vances, and the woman who is tired of her present supply may replenish it with those of undoubted style and at tractiveness at any moment. A few of the many new ideas are suggested by this quartet reproduced from Harper's Bazar. The little narrow black satin or velvet ribbon ties that have been so universal ly worn, as they give a touch of effec tiveness to a light gown, are now con sidered newer when finished with a heavy bead fringe, as here shown, in stead of the erstwhile silk fringe or tassel. Our old friend the pulley belt in its latest forms has taken on all the lines of Joseph's coat and is especially de sirable in Scotch plaid, together with a tie to match, as an adjunct to an outing gown. They may be had all plaid, or with the belt proper black, and the narrow ribbon ties plaid. Of Interest to Women. Young Queen Wilhelmina. of Holland spares no efforts to make herself pop ular with her subjects. A few weeks ago she investigated the story of a little musician of phenomenal talent, with the result that she undertook to pay for his musical education. The other day she reviewed a fleet of 1,600 fishing vessels in the Zuyder Zee, and personally inspected five boats of as many types. People who are always finding some thing to lament over now declare that the coming woman will be taller than the coming man. It is a fact that the girl of today is taller by several inches than her mother, and this is supposed to be the result of athletics. Since the average man has also gone In for ath letics, it is also likely that he, too, will increase in stature. China is the paradise of mothers-in-law, who are allowed to neat, upbraid, jeer, starve and generally nag the lives of their daughters-in-law. Such is the esteem of the Chinese for their ances tors, immediate and far removed, that abuse from that source is respectfully and submissively received. The Chinese ladies are not slow to avail themselves of the precious privilege of berating their son's wives no matter what their own sufferings may have been. A great many wise people believe that one cause of the supremacy of the vic ious old Empress lwwager of China in a land where women are not even enum erated in the census returns arises from the fact that being a Manchurian by birth this former slave of the imperial harem, now Kmpress of China, had never to submit to mutilation of the feet, customary among the Chinese. A most interesting meeting of the Daughters of the Revolution was lately held at Paris. Among the celebrated -American women who were present were observed: Jane Addams. of Hull House Settlement in Chicago; Mrs. Jen nie June Croly, Mrs. May Wright Sewell and Mrs. Daniel Manning. Mme. Juliet Adam, the noted French litterateur and journalist, was an interested visitor at the congress. Tempting vitrinas filled with rare and ancient porcelains were displayed and almost immediately sold. Full length portraits of celebrities among the membership attracted atten tion, particularly the portraits of Mrs. Benjamin Harrison. Mrs. Stephenson and Mrs. Daniel Manning. The Capable Woman. If a momnument is ever reared to commemorate the virtue of the woman who has done the most for the world, it will not be erected to the woman genius the poet, painter, writer or reformer. It will be built in honor of the capable woman the woman who possesses what our New England cousins call "faculty," the woman of ability, adaptability anu capability, who has met every situation in life and filled it with credit to herself and comfort to others. The capable wo man springs from no peculiar social con ditions and is the result of no special environment. She may be the daughter of luxury or the child of poverty. You may find her taking degrees in college halls or uneducated and uncultivated, living her lowly lot in the jackwoods, but wherevr she is. she is distinct from the women about her and is making her influence felt. The Art of Beauty. Ry Madam Michaud. "Why are there so many homely wo men?" writes a man correspondent whose letter gives me the impression that he is a cynical old bachelor with de fective eyesight. "Why are there so many hideous men?" one might ask In return, and thus give him a Yankee's answer. The fact is that there were nev er so many pretty women as now. Any man who has been at a summer resort will give testimony to that fact. The summer resort is the place where women look beautiful because they are resting and because they have a chance to wear becoming clothes. In the city in summer every woman wears a shirt waist, and although the shirt waist is comfortable it is not always calculated to emphasize a woman's charms. In the first place the severe collars are trying to the wo man who looks handsome in a fluff of lace. The combination of the shirt waist and the sailor hat is deadly to any wo man over 20. There are more beautiful women than ever before and they pos sess faces of a finer type than formerly. The American woman is beginning to claim the heritage of the aristocrat, which means that generations of ease and luxury leave their stamp upon the face and form. But there is one thing that the Ameri can, woman must avaid, and that is the stout and ungainly middle age that is also the heritage of her who toils not. All the dainty and enticing menus that tempt her to eat too much, the carriages that convey her from place to place without the exertion of walking, and the leisure that gives her opportunity for af ternoon naps steal her girlish outlinse and cause her to advance to a heavy unbeautiful middle age. If any assembly of women who are past 40 is scanned it will be noticed that the majority of those present have the growing double chin, the arms that are too large, and the shoulders that are too massive. The tightly fitted bodices of these women re veal the cushions of fat across the back which destroy all the symmetry of the form. And the weight of flesh encroach es so gradually it is not noticed until the strength, of mind that would make it possible to reduce it has disappeared. The character has been weakened by the daily exertion of carrying around too much adipose tissue. American women, who are famous for their cooking, eat too much. They pre pare dishes so tempting that they are their own victims. In youth women care more for the impalpable things, for the ambitions and the aspirations that lead them on to all sorts ot endeavor, but when they cease to have the spur that impels toward daily striving for the ful fillment of some dream, they find solace in eating. This fact was emphasized the other day when a woman who 20 years ago was a famous belle was telling one of her friends of the sorrows and disap pointments that had embittered her life. The friend glanced at the woman, who weighed at least 200, and said she ap peared to be very well. "Yes," was the answer, "I have fallen into the habit of eating to distract my attention from my irouoies. Eating as a pastime is always a dan gerous experiment. The woman who would b.e always beautiful must be ab stemious. She must be able to leave the table feeling just a little hungry. She must adhere to a sensible diet, and she must observe the most severe rules about regular meals. It is as important that she should be temperate in candy and ice cream sodas as it is that she should cultivate a youthful spirit. If it seems that the subject of diet and the bad effects of high living are too of ten dwelt upon, it is only necessary to notice the women one knows and It will be discovered that the principal draw back to beauty is stoutness. Therefore, frequent warnings will be forgiven. There is nothing more pathetic than the wo man who is losing all the gracefulness and poetic charm of girlhood just be cause she eats too much. The recent pre valence of beer drinking among women is one of the causes of the tendency toward embonpoint. This habit of drink ing is one of the abominations from a beauty speclalist'3 point of view. Women are generally extremists, and they can not afford to use stimulants of any sort. The price of a fine form and an attrac tive face is self-denial. This means thac the body should be considered a temple so sacred that its daily building is a matter of thought, care, and conscience. Health the First Consideration. Formally the management of house hould expenses and details of cooking were regarded as the most essential branches of domestic economy. Now we believe that the guiding principles in the proper management of a home must be founded on the laws of health. Prosperity largely depends upon the judicious expenditure of money pro vided for the family support, but in order to enjoy the fruits of a careful and provident management, the family health must be the first consideration. How to Maintain Good Health. The requirements of health are not expensive. It is- the natural inclination of man, as well as his right, to seek pleasure and comfort. Both are within his power to obtain; as the conditions do not entail undue expense or trouble, and are certainly within the limit of wages of any steady working man. It is ignorance that is wasteful. Through ignorance we buy tth. wrong sort of food and spoil good food by bad cook ing, which is one of the greatest fac tors in bringing poverty, discomfort, ill temper and ill-health in so many homes. True domestic economy is the knowledge which enables the house keeper tp know what is wanted to make her family healthy, happy and content ed. If she knows how to wisely provide for their physical needs she will spend less money than her less fortunate neighbor, who may be richer in this world's good; while at the same time she is certain to get more comfort and pleasure. Some kinds of food are very dear while others are cheap; but the price Fancy Bodice. With bears little relation to the nutritive value of the food. The poor man's wife, if she understands the nature of var ious products, can supply her family with food as valuable for nutrition as the rich man's wife who spends ten times as much. Cheaper foods properly chosen and prepared will yield a greater amount of nutrition and be far more wholesome; for the simplest food will keep the body in the best health and working order. Daily Necessities. In the first place food supplies ma terials for growth and repair in the body and produces heat and vital force, and aside from the mere practical uses, we find it plays no small part in. social life. When providing food for the family, the important point to be studied is the dally requirement, not collectively, but individually; In order to preserve an even balance between outlay and de sired results in physical and mental vigor. This requires a many sided view, as one must first consider the nutritive value of different sub stances, then cost, occupation, age, season and climate, and not the least important point, the very possible eccentricities of taste and digestion. 7?he latter are usually the result of careless and ignorant feeding in early childhood, though occasionally they may originate from some other cause. In most cases they may be overcome by wise treatment, but when a distaste for certain kinds of foods, such aa meats, is accompanied by a. disturbance of the digestive organs, it ia unwise as well as unnecessary to try to overcome the aversion, as there are other classes of food from which may be derived all the elements of nutrition found In meats and which are more easily di gested and obviate all possible danger of infection from disease germs. The Fundamental Principles Each meal should supply proper ele ments for the body's requirements. Therefore the housekeeper must have some knowledge of the principles of nu trition and digestion as well as a knowl edge of the changes the raw materials undergo in the process of cooking. Chemistry and household science are very ambiguous terms to many house keepers who claim that they have not the time to study these subjects. And yet these same women often devote more time, with the aid of the physician, in trying to eradicate the results of their ignorance than would be necessary for a person of average intelligence to spend In mastering the few essential principles involved in the science of nutrition, which is simply in knowing how to live well at less expense.

She Discusses the Important Subject of Knowledge. Button Rose Cottage. Aug. IS, 1900. Iear State Journal: After one has lived long enuff to ex change their buty an' strength for wis dom, it's nice an' handy to turn over the leaves of experience to iind a solo ishun to the problums of daly life. Kxpeerience Is jest reely a big dischunary. any way, an' more troo an' reliable. Ther's alius something back in the leaves to thro lite on every new subjec, an that can't alius be sed of a dicshunary. This mornin T wanted to giv some thuts on nolege an" wisdom, so I got out my old academacle dicshunary to look up the exac meening of nolege in the present day. But the word nolege was jest left out altogether. However, I didn't hev to hunt long to find i it in the book of my experience. I Nolege an' wisdom are thot by the ig- j nerant to be one an' the same, but they're reely little nigher kin than 42nd kosens. One may hev heaps of nolege, an' hev no wisdom at an. You see lots ot yong ioiks from hi skool and col leg that's stuffed with nolege, but ha v n't wisdom enuff to know what kind of oats to sow in tnure fields. Some of the yong men want to git good posishens, an' imagin they kin deseeve the bizness men an "pull the wool" over there eys by makin' them selvs out very smart in fact, yong men who are up to date, and not stingy when it comes to spendin m money An' some it comes to spendin' money. An' some to adorn the parler with there finery, an keep the air full of piany musick. They think these aekomplishments will win a rich husband. After while they may get wisdom added to there nolege, an' mebby then they will be better. When God makes us he puts little cells of wisdom down deep in our branes, an he seals them shut tight, an' we don't have any wisdom at all to use until we tug at the lids of them cells an' get 'em off. Then it seems there's a bubblin an' floin' spring in them somewhere, an' they never run dry. The only way to get them cells open is to think, an' think hard. Thot is the only tool there is to work with in the brane. It is a little hammer that nocks away at the sealin' wax until it comes off, an' the pre.nhus ointment pors out. The cells of wisdom are in every boddy's hed, but are no use till the hard blows of thot takes off the lids. Lots of folks go through life an' die, an' mebby not one o' them jars is opened out. Lots of peeple would rather gather bushels of nolege than work a little to get wisdom. An' nolege i3 sometimes heaped on to the little cells o wisdom until there about crushed an' beried. Nolege is very good to have, but it's not worth much unless freshened up by wis dom. Nolege is the dried froot the froot of othr peeple's wisdom dried an' pre pared for us. Dried froot is good, but the fresh is better. It's a thing to be thank ful for to hav a steady hed, an' wisdom to take care of it. It's good to no all about helth, but it's wisdom that takes care of it, an' keeps it. Nolege ses: keep quiet an' you won t feel the heat. Wisdom ses: do your regular, interestin' dooties. an' you won't think of the heat. Nolege ses: If you move the air with a fan it will be kool. Wisdom ses: The vigrus moshen of your arm in fannin heets your blood to a fever. Nolege ses to the house wifes: Fill all your rooms with trinkets an fancy work an bewilderin' bric-a-brac till you haven't a space for one more. Wisdom ses: That's how to get nervus prostrashun. It's clutter that brings ner vus prostrashun clutter of things around, clutter of convenshunalities. clutter of business, clutter of noises, an' clutter of responsibilities, an' no rest. A plain room is such a rest, to poor lorn souls, an' plain does, an' plain quiet Wisdom ses Dr. Will Power an' Dr. Quiet will help you most. Nolege ses: Take a rest an go with the crowds to public resorts. Wisdom points at the hurry an worrk, gettin' redy. an the crowded cars an' the gaety an nois, an ever lastln crowds, and would lead us another way. Noledge ses: This an' that has helped other peeple. Wisdom ses: Study your self an' see what helps you most An' lots of peeple follow the Idee of "dooty" In some rut of habit with out troublin to think if it is wisdom. It's a dooty to visit the sick in your church or lege or club, an' a dooty that is hard for you to perform, an' very worrysome for the sick man to reseeve. sometimes, yet you mostly feel "hurt if the nurs ses: Vital A careful examination of all the prepared foods offered to the public at the present time has shown conclusively that Granut, Granose and Gr anola are tlie only thoroztghly cooked and heat-digested foods, the only ones prepared for immediate assimilation.

Very pretty are the French printed muslins, with seilor collars or wide, pointed collars falling over the shoul ders. The newest complexion veils have one or two spots in black velvet, sug gesting the dainty and becoming patch of days of old. For dainty gowns it is necessary to have dainty petticoats, and those com posed of a stockinet top and a PROPERLY managed, there is no more pleasant diversion than the much abused picnic. Its infor mality and the benefit of the fresh air and exercise to be derived from it make it a form of entertainment at which only those who do not know how to give a picnic scoff. The place in which to hold the picnic is the matter to be first considered. It should be easy of access. If the means of reaching it is by railroad train, it should not be too far from the station. If the party must drive to the grounds, it should be so located that the picnick ers will not be compelled to climb hills, force their way through briers or bush es or tramp through marshes. It should be in a neighborhood that will afford some amusement, with fishing for the men, wild flowers for the ladies to gather, or places of interest to visit for both. Hammocks, cushions and blan kets should be included in the articles taken with the party. The blankets are excellent to spread upon the ground; they afford comfortable loung ing places for the guests where they need not fear the after effects of rheu matism. Soap, washcloths and towels should be included in the picnic outfit; also a small hand mirror for the ladies. There should be a spring or stream near the picnic grounds, where faces and hands may be cleansed. In case there is not, a bottle of eau de Cologne is both cleansing and refreshing. Should the drinking water be at a distance, a cheap tin pail may be taken along to hold the water and left behind when the party returns home. Japanese napkins and little wooden plates, such as those in which the dairyman sends home the butter, fur nish a solution of the plate and napkin question. The luncheon, served under the trees, of course, should be a simple one. Cold tea, lemonade, root beer or .bottled milk .will supply the beverages. The lemonade may be made on the grounds very easily if the sweetened lemon juice is taken along in a bottle. There are a number of preparations of patent lemonade in the form of tablets or powders, but as many of these require the addition of sugar the sweetened lemon juice is most convenient. An excellent menu consists of: Boiled Salmon with Tomato Cream. Mayonnaise of Lobster. Cutleta in Aspic. Braised Beef. Cold Roast Fowl and Tongue. Fruit and Cake. Chocolate Sponge. Lemonade. To make mayonnaise of lobster line m two pound tin with a coating of aspio. How to Give a Picnic ON WEAR. changeable kilted flounce fastened on by means of buttons have originated a similar idea carried out in white wash ing skirts. The fashionable boa, or, rather, ruffle, is singularly pretty, especially those made of mousseline de soie or some other diaphanous material, the ruch ir.gs and ends scattered over with rose petals either in white or black, black and white or all pink. Others are made of fancy spotted lisse, colored with a white spot or all white or black. then arrange round the sides and top some pieces of lobster cut into neat shapes, and set these again with a little more aspic. Take all the trimmings of the lobster and mix these with some really good mayonnaise, adding to the mixture boned and filleted anchovies, capers, stoned and minced olives. Fill up the tin with this mixture, put on the lid closely and set it away till wanted, when it can be turned out and garnished with lettuce leaves. Cutlets In Aspic. Braise the good end of a neck of lamb, then set it away till cold, when the cutlets are cut off and trimmed neatly. Line a two pound or four pound tin with plain aspic Jelly, and on this run a layer of mint sauce, stiffened with dissolved leaf gelatin; on this set a layer of the cutlets, not too close, and cover these again with the mint sauce. When this Is all but set, run a layer of plain aspic over it and repeat the mint sauce and cutlets, always allowing about half an inch of plain aspic between each layer. Again cover down and leave till set. On reaching the destination these are turned out in a block, which is then sliced across through the layers of plain aspic, and each cutlet is neatly cut out of the aspic and trimmed, the portions of jelly left by this being light- PARIS, Aug. 4. "Seldom have the fashions been so altogether charming," said a great dress making expert recently. "The whole past has been searched for really pretty effects to beautify the fashions of the present." The Greek period, whose re turn those who pretend to love the classic have so earnestly longed for, is. really with us, for the empire fash ions are, after all, only modifications of the Greek draperies. Crepe de chine for this reason will continue in favor so long as empire garments are affect ed. Soft, easily adapted folds are Just what are needed to achieve hand some draperies. The gowns have the advantage of being not too clinging nor yet not too clumsily lined. A tall, well built figure is best fitted to carry off successfully the long lines of the em pire. The Duchess d'TJzes and her follow ers of the fashionable set have taken up a new sport that permits them the display a new sort of costume. It is hawking about as heartless and un womanly a pastime as ever disgraced the annals of fashionable sport. The excuse that it is no more cruel for the little birds that are the prey of the hawks to be killed by tame as by wild birds is utterly banal. It is not the effect on bird creation that is so much to be feared, but on the minds of the hunt resses of society. Women are too giv en to heartlessly following the lead of inclination without considering its re sults or caring much. It is time they were brought to a sudden and humiliat ing stop. In Its wild state the hawk kills to gratify its hunger, not for the amusement of social idlers whose mor al sense must be badly blunted to enjoy the suffering and death of the beautiful birds. I understand that some American women are learning how to manage hawks, with the intention of return ing to America with a brace of birds and a fashionable hawking gown, which consists of moderately short skirt and a gay jacket and cap. The hawk is hooded and carried about on the arm of its mistress, a chain fasten ed to a bracelet upon her wrist acting as a precaution against its escape. The scorn with which the fashionable women at first regarded the exposition, winch they termed "the bazaar," has considerably abated? since his majesty the king of Sweden entertained the In fanta Eulalia at a dinner in one of the restaurants on the grounds. Now it is quite the thing to have a small room, or a part of a room, in one of the queer old quarters reserved for luncheon or dinner. Old Paris is particularly pop ular for that sort of thing, and there one has an excellent opportunity to study the smart dame and her ward robe. Exquisite dressing is the rule. Dinner gowns are rapidly becoming an indispensable part of the wardrobe of any woman who makes even the most remote claim to being up to date. The restaurant dinner is so thoroughly in trenched as a part of society's accepted functions that those who would keep up with the rest of the world must prepare to both entertain and be enter tained. For summer the very pretty gowns of organdie and foulard have been con sidered au fait. For later in the season ly chopped and set round as a garnish. Boiled Salmon With Tomato Cream. The salmon is boiled, allowed to get cold and then wrapped in the outer leaves of a lettuce, then in a clean nap kin, carefully pinned over it. For the tomato, sauce pound four large toma toes to a smooth pulp, season with salt and pepper, add half a gill of just liquid aspic and rub it through a sieve; now stir to it a gill of whipped cream, a dessertspoonful of tarragon vinegar and a few drops of chili vinegar and TYPICAL put it into a Jam pot, carefully tying it down with oiled paper. Cold Roast Fowl and Tongue. Roast the chickens and let them stand till cold, when they must be skillfully dis sected by some good carver; then care fully put together again and tie in richer toilets will be correct. Silk mus lins are especially adapted for trans formation into chic dinner garments. One gown of this sort recently won my admiration as I passed a little group of diners sitting in seclusion in one cor ner of the Japanese restaurant. It was of pale blue spotted silk muslin, the back of the skirt trimmed with vertical tucks, which opened out into narrow plaitings on the flounce, extending around the lower part of the skirt. The bodice was half formed of tucks, a handsome trimming of guipure ap plique giving the needed touch of ele gance to shoulders, cuffs, bodice front and skirt. One can generally form an Idea of what the costumers are expecting to introduce in a few months by noting the character of the wardrobes prepar ed for their royal or semiroyal custom ers. These are the best advertisements the great houses can have for conti nental respect, for even the taste of the dowdiest 'of serene highnesses is accorded a deference that is 'some thing beyond the comprehension of the average American. For the re cent marriage of Queen Victoria's granddaughter. Princess Marie of Cum berland, to the insignificant. little Prince Max of Baden the gowns, so a correspondent writes me, were f the most elegant. The dinner dresses were made with both high and low bodices, always matching the skirts. One oX the gowns was of chantilly lace to be worn with silk slips. The lace was al ternated with diagonally tucked squares of fine batiste and lace. An other of the dinner robes was of pale blue crepe de chine, trimmed with cluny lace. Two bodices were to be worn with the skirt, one a low one, draped with pale blue mousseline de soie, the other a high one, having a lace bolero. Beautiful, too, were the gowns for receiving and for promenade wear. Reseda taffeta, embroidered with white marguerites, graduated from the waist to the middle of the skirt, was one of the handsomest. The bodice was finished with a yoke of pastel rose velvet and a girdle of the same. The skirt, besides the em broidered marguerites, had no trim ming other than three frills of narrow chiffon. Of gowns of the semidress class there were many. One was of white grena dine over white silk, the skirt trimmed with a tucked flounce graduating from very narrow at the hem to wide where it joined the lace head of the skirt. The waist had broad tucks upon the shoul ders, which narrowed until they formed a point at the waist. Yoke and trim ming upon the bodice were of lace, a large ribbon bow giving a touch of color to the white. A simple gown was made of gray cloth and trimmed with gray embroidery of the same col or, a bow at the waist finishing off the girdle. There seems to be a tendency to run to diagonal stripes. On not one, but a score, of dresses of the best shops are the cross lines arranged, either in groups undivided or in series, alternat ing with bands of lace insertion. One of the models made in this style was of foulard, the skirt and bodice being trimmed with pointed applications of place with little knots of baby ribbon. The tongue should also be sliced and tied up in greaseproof paper and can then be neatly dished with a little pars ley. Lemonade. Into a jug holding a quart put the strained juice of four lemons, the thinly pared rind of two and six tablespoonf uls of sugar. Stir PICNIC SCENE. it all well together, then fill up the Jug with fresh, clear water, cover the Jug and let it stand awhile, when strain and serve it, or ice. Some people use one orange to every three or four lem ons in addition to the above ingredients. Chocolate Sponge. -Dissolve two and ecru guipure. Three rosettes of tulle followed the line of the tucks down one side of the waist. A broad belt of satin infolded the waist. The Princess of Monaco is just hav ing a beautiful comb manufactured for herself. As it is both novel and pretty, the fact that it is extremely costly can matter but very little to her. The Prince of Monaco, who is one of the worst characters in Europe, is im mensely rich, deriving as he does nearly all his income from the infa mous gambling palace at Monte Carlo. The present princess is an American by birth, and this matrimonial venture is her second, as it is also the second of the prince. His first wife was the beautiful Lady Mary Hamilton, who was compelled to leave him on account of his cruelty and dissipation. The story of her wrongs, as told at the time .of her divorce, closed every door of consequence in Europe against the prince. None of the European royalties recognize his existence, and Queen Vic toria positively refused him an audi ence during his last visit to England. Of late years He has been endeavoring to court favorable attention by posing as a patron of science. His present wife, who Is a woman of strong character and wealth, is said to be deserving of credit for the improve ment in his conduct and manners. She is a very beautiful woman and one of generous and charitable disposition. Although she stands nearer to a throne than any other American woman mar ried to a titled foreigner, she has little glory from her position. Society will have none of her husband, and conse quently she is in a measure barred from recognition. She dresses hand somely, but the comb of shaded blue and green enamel, made to represent peacocks' feathers, and with a blue opal in the eye of each plume, is for her rather an unusual extravagance. A very handsome dinner gown made for the princess in Paris is of white mous seline de soie, with Elizabethan sleeves and a shirred bodice trimmed with an applique of flowers that reappears on the skirt. The shirring trims the skirt about the hips and gives an admirable fullness to the lower part of the skirt. The latest fashionable yachting gown is of striped serge in blue and white, trimmed with stitched bands matching the blue stripe. The wide collar and pointed cuffs are of spotted silk. A long satin sailor tie encircles the collar. CATHERINE TALBOT. Ready Stitched Bodice Material. Amazing quantities of ready stitched blouse materials are being sold in the shops. Perhaps the very newest and most desirable is composed of washing silk ribbon and fine swiss embroidery in alternate stripes. Another reveals itself as an arrange ment of tucks done in white muslin, alternating with Valenciennes lace of a rich cream color, and these materials, all ready to receive the scissors, needle and thread, can easily be made by the neat fingered into the most delightful slip bodices. The lace yoke takes its place on some of these shirts, and, of course, the dou ble sleeve has often a great deal to say to the success of the scheme. one-half ounces of grated or powdered chocolate with one and one-half ounces of best leaf gelatin and sugar to taste in a pint of new milk. Allow this all to simmer (not boil) gently together till all the ingredients are smooth and well blended, then add to it half a pint of good, thick cream and a flavoring of vanilla and strain it all into a basin. When perfectly cold and beginning to set, whip it lightly to a sponge and pour it into an oiled mold. Another menu consists of a cold Joint of lamb, with mint sauce carried in a jar or bottle; a jar of salad, some rolls, butter carried in a preserve jar with ice, pie, cake and a Jar of cream. If any one of the party knows how to make a gypsy fire, on which to cook the coffee, a few raw potatoes might be taken along and baked in the coals. EDITH LAWRENCE. HANDSOME WALKING GOWN. FASHIONABLE JEWELRY. More Jewelry than ever is being worn. Perhaps the outlines of the modern French bijouterie are rather barbaric in tendency; but how delicate ly fine and raisonne is the workman ship, which softens the freedom of the original conception and perfects each detail with minutest skill! To realize this one must have closely examined the jewelry exhibits at the Paris exposition. The lead of the great GALANTINE OF MUTTON. Remove all the bones from a small breast of mutton or lamb, flatten it out by beating with a rolling pin or cutlet bat, trim off all fat, sprinkle with chopped herbs, white pepper and salt; have ready some lambs' or sheep's tongues partially boiled and skinned (cut them into three or four pieces lengthways from the root to the tip), some strips of lean ham, some pistachio kernels and finely chopped shallot; arrange these over the meat, roll it up, sew the ends and secure with twine, making it into a well shaped long roll; dredge over with flour, roll in a. cloth and fasten with a safety pin. At the bottom of a stewpan put the mutton bones, a ham bone or some ba con rinds, the trimmings of the tongue, some flavoring vegetables, herbs, with salt and spice; place the roll among them. Just cover with hot stock or wa ter, bring to the boil and then simmer for three to four hours, according to the sire of the roll; skim constantly. When tender, take up, let the steam es cape before taking off the cloth, place on a board, put another board with weights on the top. Leave till cold, take out the strings, scrape off any fat, trim the ends, brush over with glaze, gar nish with aspic, beet root and endive and serve cold. Should a hot dish be preferred, hav ing removed the cloth and strings, drain off all liquor fron the dish; pour thick brown sauce or tomato sauce over and serve with nicely boiled vegetables as a garnish. In the Workroom. The following little hints will be use ful in the workroom: Faded silks can be restored by being sponged with weak ammonia water and afterward rubbed with a soft cloth, -Old black silks are improved by a sponge bath of spirit and water, and cloth dresses by being brushed with blue water. After j the gown has been thoroughly well beaten and dusted dip the bristles of a clothesbrush into blue water and brush the dress quickly. To remove grease spcfts from a skirt of woolen or other material use benzine. Unpick the hem or band of the skirt and lay a piece of flannel or blotting paper beneath the stain; above it put a second piece of blotting paper, and on this rest a hot iron until the stain is removed. Cider Cod. Put the thinly pared rind of a lemon into a jug with a few slices of cucum ber, a wineglassful of sherry, two ta blespoonfuls of brandy, a tablespoonful of sugar, a sprinkle of nutmeg and half a dozen raspberries; add a quart of cider, cover the jug, and let it stand on ice, if possible, for an hour. Re move the lemon peel, cucumber and raspberries and add two bottles of soda water. The quantity of sugar used must be regulated according to the sweetness of the cider. French Jeweler, Lalique that most modest artist who has revolutionized all modes In Jewelry for the moment has been freely followed, perhaps too freely, for there has sprung up a series of imitators who are far from achiev ing the result that their originator has realized. But the result is that gold and silver in many shades and enamel of most entrancing hues have taken the place to a great extent of the pre cious stones, especially in ornaments for day wear. BREAKFAST. Fruit. Cracked Wheat and Cream, Braised Mutton Cutleta, Cleft Roll. Potato? i au Gratia, Jam. Coffee. BRAISED MUTTON CUTLETS. Trim the cut. leta neatly; dip each one in seasoning composed of a tablespoonful of flour, a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of pepper.

Baked Potatoes, Butter Beans. Corn. Cold Slaw. Nasturtium Salad. Caramel Rice. Coffee. CARAMEL RICE. Butter a mold carefully: then brown one ounce of lump sugar in a sauce pan over a good, clear fire. Wash thoroughly four ounces of best rice and place it in a saucepan of cold water. When the water boils, pour away every drop of it. Add a pint of new milk to the rice and simmer gently for half an hour. When cooled a little, add a beaten egg to the rice; sweeten and flavor to taste. Pour into the mold and bake, for half an hour in- a steady oven. Turn the mold out on to a hot dish and pour caramel sauce round. Garnish with whipped cream. LUNCHEON OR TEA, Fruit. Fricasseed Chicken. French Rolls. Rice Potatoes. Egg Salad. Orange Custard. -Cocoa. Tea. FRICASSEED CHICKEN. Set k small piece ol fat bacon in a pan with a piece of celery, two or three sprigs of parsley, a small blade of mace and a thin slice of lemon peel.

Geo. Burghart. AN7TA XL CANAN. a aad 630 Kansas avenue. James West's Awakening. From Household .Words.! X. The horse "lumpered" coming' up the bill; there was no doubt about that, only, if the driving had been a little more careful, the accident might never have happened. But James "West and his friend were both "market-merry," and upon this occasion the special Providence that usually attended them was absent, for after "lumpering" the horse started off, leaving the two to pick themselves up from the hard road as best they could. James West, aa proprietor of the rapidly vanishing horse and trap, was first on his feet. "Palk! Where be you to? We must follow on sharp; here's me with a. broken shoulder!" But Palk, having less at stake, was more bewildered. "And here's me with me brains beat out! I be goin' to sit In t' hedge!" "But the mare be gone along. I tell you, she'll be doing herself or some one else a mischief. Pick up this cushion and come along." Now, Henry Palk waa the last man to leave his friend in the lurch, and, as his senses cleared, his wonted energy and good will returned. "Come along, then; 'tis you be bidden about. As to the mare, she knows her way home well enough." "I'm none so sure about that; she has not changed hands very long, and her old home is handy from here." They trudged along silently, both sobered by their tumble, and both feel ing stiff and sore. The road was lonely, save for a small wayside inn, and there they Inquired if anything had been seen of the mare and the cart that she had lightened of its load. Without the least appearance of sympathetic excitement, the landlord scratched his head. "I zeed a harse go by, with nairy o one up in trap. I thought something med of happened." "And couldn't you have come down the road a bit of ways to see?" in quired Palk hotly; "you're a nice sort of a chap! Couldn't you so much as stop the harse?" "I did only hear a clitter clatter and she was past. The meare waa layin' legs to the groun', my word!" James West laughed carelessly, "Aye, she is fast, and will keep running until she drops. We'll have a pint, Palk, and then follow on." But Palk, save for one weakness, was a man of action and different from his companion. "Have done with your nonsense, West! Think of your poor wife If that meare do get home avore ee." For several miles they walked silent ly along the lonely road, and Uien Palk indicated some wheel-marks tu his companion. "See, she stopped to have a feed here off the bit of grass, so she ia going steady." Presently the road began to descend into the river valley, and then they soon reached West's farm. It was beautifully situated, but very isolated, and, saving a couple of cottages and the little jetty below, where the ferry man could be rung for over the water, no other dwellings were near. Above all the winding river a silver mist was rising, which showed its course for miles, and the autumn air bit keenly. In the yard stood the mare, already half unharnessed, and a wo man was doing the work. At the sight of the two the blood rushed back into her pale face, and her strained lips broke Into a smile of relief. She was a young, good-looking wo man, as little like the typical wife of a yeoman farmer as could well be imag ined. A black dress showed off her dazzling fairness, and her hair was plentiful and golden. Her face was re fined by a certain delicacy, although the features were rather sharp, and people said that James West had a nagging wife. Perhaps this was so when she was out of all patience with those habits of his which were ruining their home and their business, but her pleading was often gentle, hoping even against hope; for he loved her. In his weakest moments he thought there was no one like his wife; no one so neat, so industrious, so untiring in well doing. It was she who kept things going and ordered so much in the house, and out of It, that the surface of affairs looked almost thriving, al though all the farmers were complain ing of bad times. She made all her own clothes and her little girl's, and her white cuffs against the mare's black sides looked spotless. "Out of the way, Millie. We "ill take the meare out. For a wonder, she lum pered coming up hill, and threw us both out." To her he spoke much more like a gentleman; he had almost seemed one to her before she married him. She may have had her doubts about the real cause of the accident, but she expressed hc-r great relief at finding them both unhurt. Her manner was quiet and re pressed, but she had been a bright girl. "She lumpered sure enough," cried Palk, leading the mare deftly from the shafts, "and 'tis a mercy that you were not along of we, or I might have squat ted ee in vallin' out. I'm no light weight." She smiled her anxious, careworn smile, and asked him Inside, for James always came home more sober in his company. Palk had a chivalrous pity and care for the wife and mother wait ing anxiously at home. In his honest heart he despised West, and thought his wife much too good for him. II. The next morning Mrs. West brought a bill that was owing to her husband,1 asking him for the money that she might pay it. He glanced impatiently at the amount and then tossed it careless ly on one side. "Let it be, Millie, for the present; they are owing me for hay and corn." "But they have allowed for that, and the bill has been due so long." "I can't help it. Times are bad with us farmers, Millie; you know it." "It is not the times," she answered, goaded into sharpness: "if only you would let me have what goes in other ways I would not have a bill unpaid." He turned obstinate, as he always did when she began what, he called nag ging. "You mind the house, Millie; that is your business. Scott can well afford to wait for his money, and he will have to." He was just getting on his horse to ride round the farm when she came out. "There is something wrong with the well water, James; it's gone too long without being cleaned out. Can't you spare a man to do it today?" He was more irritable than usual from his shaking of the day before, and answered her curtly enough. "They'll all be busy taking the man-; gold out of the ground, or else It will get frosted. The well is right enough; what is wrong with it? Tou leave out doors alone, and don't hinder me with my work." She looked after him hopelessly, the harassed, worn lines on her face deep ening. He was always putting off those things that were needful to be done at once; and the farm suffered and their prosperity was less than it ought to have been, even in bad times. Fences were not mended when the cattle broke them down, and the care lessness of the master was copied by the servants. It was no concern of theirs if he chose to neglect his business; and if the farmer lay late abed after mar. ket days the laborers took advantage ana came later. So many of the little things which. lusmijr were icii v- too late, and the woman who strove so desperately to stem the tide of indiffer ence and to bind up all the things that were loose often felt tempted to strive no longer, but Just drift with the stream. It was for the child's sake that she still kept struggling on. She was a pretty child, fair-haired, like her mother, and already the quaint est and most industrious of housewives; for Millie set her child the example of being always at work. Ina had her own little garden, about three feet by two, with an infant goose berry bush in the center, and the pleas antest hours in Millie's careworn exist ence were spent with the little daughter in the garden tending the flowers. But in a farm no housewifery industry can make up for the master's want of energy, and, although Millie did her best with the dairy and the poultry, things went from bad to worse, and because of this West drank harder than ever. And still his wife tried patinently to keep up all the old order and exquisite neateness, cnly her face grew sharper and more pinched and her tongue more bitter. III. But the mills of God were waiting for James W"est, and it was fated that he should save his soul alive. The well of drinking water that should have been cleaned out was left untouched, and little Ina fell a victim to diphtheria. The mother fought desperately for her child's life fought as one to whom the passing of the innocent spirit might mean des pair. But the winds of God were stronger than her anguish of terror and love, al though she well-nigh defied heaven it self, clasping the little body to her, that no power might wrest it from her. But, close and impassioned as waa the clasp of her arms, death came and went, leav ing the mempty. Then she sorrowed, as one quite without hope. The doctor, an observant man, was struck with her strange demeanor, which had no resignation in it. "It is not all grief and heartbreak," he told some sympathizing neighbor; "I'm afraid there is more wrong than we can see at present." But to the deeply sorrowing and re morseful father came slowly a broken and contrite heart. He knew himself party responsible for his child's death, but the knowledge was wisely tempered to him, so that he was softened into penitence and not hardened into des pair. Once more he went soberly and indus triously about his work, and the warm tears would rain down his face as he passed Ina's little grave, not so big as the small grave. He took from it a tiny geranium plant that was withering and dying in the frost. He potted it and put it in a warm and sunny window, and tears dropped upon the withered leaves as he tended and cherished the feeble dying plant. Many times, unseen of all, he would ask pivine forgiveness for the sin which had brought so heavy a punishment, and pivine grace permitted him an entrance into the right way. It was Henry Palk who noticed, first of all, that West drank nothing at the market dinners, and, remembering the poor, stricken wife at home, he was hon estly glad that .West had turned over a new leaf. fiiek to 1:' man." be cried heartily as they were driving home together-"being only a widow man, I like my drop of comfort, but for married men 'tis a different matter, and some can't pull up as easy as others; I rackon the wife's turr-ble thankful, baint she?"

Where could she be that she did not come out to receive him? He was so ac customed to see her in the doorway spot less and neat, with an anxious smile of w-elcome -for him, that he could not under stand her failing to be there. How desolate everything looked as he entered, and how the ceaseing of endless housewifely care made all the shabbiness so startlingly apparent. The little sitting room was cheerless and cold as he entered, and the fire, which was always part of her welcome for him, wVi on ,thi3 occasion nearly out. In the half dark he thought the room was empty but in turning to go out he saw a wo man s figure huddled up in an armchair. It was his wife his wife, with her fair nair all disordered and uncared for, and her face foolish and wild. She had a glass in her hand, and there was a smell of spirits in the room. As he faced her horror-stricken, she looked at him vacu ously until her poor lips began to quiver and, half ashamed, she put the emnty glass down. ''It's the only bit of comfort 'l've got let, James; the only comfort I can find anywhere." She sai,k back, half in stupor, half In sleep, and he left her with the face of a man who had seen the fall of pne of the angels. But he knew whose the blame was, as he went, blind with grief and horror, to the littl grave, so pathetically small and new. Kneeling down by it, he raised his anguished face to heaven. "God be merciful to me, a sinner, and put me into the winepress of Thy wrath but not her. the dParest, kindest woman that ever was a wife, lest my punishment be greater than I can bear."
