I 1 1 ;i I J si ti j i RAISES ASTORM. Salisbury's Appointment of Lansdowne to Foreign Office Subject of Disapproval by Tress and Public. XEPOTISM IS CHARGED In Connection With Appoint ment of Cecil Family. Sporting Circles Jubilant Orer Tod Sloan's Dismissal. Iondon, Nov. 3. "Clad In the robes ef dazzling: failure," is the way one Liberal newspaper describes the Marquis of Lanslowne's entry into the foreign office. This undoubtedly expresses the opinion of a preponderance of the Brit ish public, irrespective of party lines. Even among those organs feebly uphold ing the advisability of Lord Lans downe's appointment there is a tendency to allocate him, the position of a mere nominal head of the foreign offlce.blind ly following out every wish of the premier. This the Associated Press learns, is quite opposed to Lord Salis bury's own idea. He does not share the general belief that in the war office he did badly. In fact, the premier is so convinced of the reverse that he gave Lord Lansdowne the option of continuing in his former office, or taking: the new billet. Lord Salisbury was delighted that Lord Lansdowne was willing to accept the foreisrn olfice portfolio. le beiieves lie will make a strong foreign secretary and had long contemplated Lord Lans downe as his successor, should the doc tors refuse to ailuw him to continue the severe duties undertaken during the last parliament. One of Lord Salisbury's closest friends said to a. representative of the Associ ated Press: "Lord Lansdowne. by his training and social career, is more fitted and avail able to meet diplomats and decide large issues. Should he fail of success, it will only be because he is too much of a gentleman." The under secretaryships In the war and colonial offices vacant through the changes in the cabinet, must now be selected, which is no easy matter. Mr. W. H. H anbury, the financial secretary of the treasury, is believed likely to suc ceed Mr. C. T. Ritchey as president of the board of trade, and Mr. George "Wyndhan. the parliamentary secretary of the war ofiice, is frequently men tioned as the successor of Mr. Gerald Balfour as chief secretary for Ireland, though the latter's resignation is by no means certain at present. A CRY OF NEPOTISM. Mr. Gerald Balfour may change the t-hief secretaryship of Ireland for the board of trade. If this occurs it will .ive the Cecil family four of the most Important offices in the cabinet, which calls out from the Liberal papers the cry of nepotism. The publication of Lord Rosebery's history of Napoleon has not only brought forth unanimous and unbound ed praise, but has given rise to a gen eral feeling of regret that the present undistinguished cabinet could not avail itself of such a brilliant intellect. On all sides it is admitted that this latest work reveals Lord Rosebery at his best. "What will he do next? This is the ques tion which arises on all sides. How bitter politics is growing in Ire land can be judged from an open letter from Mr. "Wm. O'Brien, saying he re enters parliament with the utmost re pugnance and with no more satisfaction than he would re-enter an English jail. But, Mr. O'Brien adds, he considers it a national duty. He also says that the ex clusion of Hea'.y and his faction from the Irish party is the only means of enabling men of honor to remain in it. Once more the introduction of Amer ican methods will revolutionize British traffic. As the result of the visit of the superintendent of the Southwestern railway to the United States the direc tors of the road have decided to sub stitute for the present lever system of signalling, the pneumatic method em ployed on American roads. The latter's installation is now occurring. Other lines are likely to follow suit so that the immense signal boxes which have long been features of the great termini, will probably disappear. TOD SLOAN'S DISMISSAL. The Prince of Wales' dismissal of Tod 61oan is received with joy by the racing world of England as a significant indica tion of the feeling against American jockeys and trainers. The Prince of Wales yielded to the popular clamor. While the methods and manners of a number of self-advertising American owners have undoubtedly given the Jockey club an excuse for its present attitude, there is little doubt that jeal ousy of the continued American success, had more than anything else to do with the matter. There are many indications, too, that the campaign against the American horseman was not undertaken without plenty of premeditation. This is evidenced by the sporting columns of almost every daily paper in England and many of the best weeklies who are revelling in the chance of a slur at American jockeys. Truth cannot find words of vituper ation enough wherewith to denounce loan and all others it can reach. But, the greatest glee of all prevails in the London sporting clubs and cafes where the English turf gamblers assemble to Fettle betting here. The gamblers who for years have had the English turf by the throat and who finally found all their calculations smashed by the Amer ican successes hope to be able to resume their trade. Sloan is much chagrined. His retainer was to have been 5.00o. He had other offers cf like amount but now the Prince of Wales has thrown him ovjr no English owner is likely to employ him as first jockey. Sloan re turns to the United States November 14. but the story that he does not intend to apply for a license here in 1S01 is regard ed as being at least premature. Leigh, the trainer of Mr. Frank Gard ner's stable, which Sloan manages and whose application for a license to train at Newmarket caused so much of the present trouble has secured quarters at Epsom. Twenty-six American yearlings are already there. Rigby will not apply for a license Mere for 1001, as he is engaged by Madame Menier to ride in France. Morgan Euie and Jones go to Austria.

DRY GOODS MEN LEAD. Claim to Hare Larger Number Than Any Other Business. Democrats Flaunt "Trust" Ban ners in Faces of Participants. New York, Nov. 3. Much to the dis appointment of all interested in the pa rade held under the auspices of the Business Men's Republican and Sound Money association, today's weather was very unpleasant. The early morning opened with a cold rain falling and the streets were in bad condition for the marchers. Governor Roosevelt, the reviewer of the parade arrived in New Tork at 8 o'clock on an Eria railroad ferry boat. He went immediately to the Lawyer's club, where he breakfasted. The streets along the line of march were beautifully decorated. The down town section of Broadway was a blaze of color from the enormous number of Hags displayed. In some of the sky scrapers each window displayed the stars and stripes, and in each block from the battery to Fourteenth street there was a large flag bearing the names of McKinley and Roosevelt. At different points along the line of march were wooden poles about 25 or 30 feet in height, erected by the Democrats, on which trera were such sentences as the following: "The trusts can make you march, but they cannot make you vote against Bry an." "This is a trust parade and not a Re publican parade." On some of these poles were portraits of Bryan and Stevenson. Each of these poles was guarded by a policeman. After breakfasting Governor Roosevelt went to the Produce Exchange, where he was given a reception. He was met there by Gen. McCook, the grand marshal of the parade and his staff and at the close of the reception the line started up Broadway only a few minutes behind scheduled time. The route was up Broadway to Waverly Place, to Fifth avenue, to Fortieth street. The review ing stand was at Madison Square. The formation of the parade consisted of sin gle platoons of 10 files front, including right and left guides, and each platoon was commanded by a captain. The first business organization in the line was the wholesale dry goods Re publicans which marched in 16 sections. They were followed by representatives of the clothiers, merchant tailors, retail dry goodsmen, the Haberdashers, milli ners, hatters, florists, builders, the paper trade, the coal trade, the shoe trade, the cotton and coffee exchanges, the tobac co trade, the furniture trade, the hide and leather trade, the bankers and bro kers Republican and sound money club and in fact representatives of practically every branch of industry in the city. In cluding the marchers was a large di vision from Brooklyn. The honor of having the largest num ber of men ir. line was claimed by the wholesale dry goods trade, their marshal estimating that they numbered 35,000 men. When Governor Roosevelt arrived at the Battery there was prolonged cheer ing. He was accompanied by First Vice President Charles F. Homer, Second Vice President Frank Brainard and Sec retary E. A. Drake, of the committee which had arranged today's demonstra tion. The governor seemed to be in. excellent spirits and bowed repeatedly in acknowledgment of the applause. Inside the Produce Exchange, while Mr. Roosevelt was shaking hands with the brokers, there were repeated calls for a speech, to which he responded as follows: "Gentlemen: I shall mot attempt to make a speech. I shall merely say how glad I am to see you. In this contest we appeal to all good citizens and not to party lines. That is our idea, through out." After about fifteen minutes of delay the head of the line started with the candidate for vice president in, an open barouche. It was suggested to him that it would be advisable to raise the hood the barouche, but the governor de clined to shield himself from the rain, saying that he could stand it as well and better than the thousands who were to march in the parade. As the borauche started off, surround ed by an escort and led by mounted po lice, the governor stood up to acknowl edge the applause of the crowd. "It seems to take something worse than an ordinary rain storm to dampen a sound money crowd," he said as the procession started away from the ex change at 9:35, just 25 minutes behind schedule time. The number of patrolmen guarding the line of march for today was 2,538; of this number 516 were around the review ing stand. These men will be in com mand of six inspectors, and all the dep uty chiefs were along the line of march. The immense crowd which was expected to gather in and around the reviewing stand in Madison square early in the morning had not appeared at 9:30 o'clock. The drizzling rain which had fallen for hours had soaked the seats in the stands and gave the decorations a dedraggled appearance. The committee in charge of the arrangements, hopeful of fine weather, had made no prepara tions for adverse conditions, and in. con sequence there was no means at had of erecting a sheltering canopy over the seats. Platoons of police in charge of cap tains and inspectors were early on the scene. The first persons to take seats in the reviewing stands were women. Half a dozen well dressed women braved the east wind and arrived shortly before 9 o'clock and took seats under the shelter of a tree around which the stand was constructed. Within less than a block of the spot where the governor was to take his seat as reviewing- officer was stretched one of the many strips of muslin put up by Tammany Hall and bearing the words: "They make me parade, but they can't make me vote against Bryan." This was stretched across Fifth ave nue at Twenty-sixth street, and like all the others, was guarded by a police man instructed to keep any one from damaging it or tearing it down. At 10:45 the sounds of music were heard at the reviewing stand and several blocks down Fifth avenue the head of the column was visible. At that time the big stand, designed to hold 5.000 persons, contained less than a third of that number. Rain continued to fail in a fine cold drizzle. In the space reserved for the governor were Benjamin. B. Odell, Senator Scott of West Virginia, Franklin Murphy, Gen. J. H. Brooke, Oscar S. Strauss, Charles S. Fairchild, Jno. D. Crimmins, Charles A. Sehieren, Jno. A. McCall, Gen. Fran cis V. Greene and others. A big banner was stretched in front of the stand across to 208 Fifth avenue bearing President McKinley's words to the late ex-Mayor Strong: "We. know no class distinction in this fair land of ours." Colonel Roosevelt reached the stand exactly at 11 o'clock. Cheers went up along the line when he appeared. He stood in his carriage and waved his hat right and left to the shouting throngs on the curbs. The governor with his escort hurried to the place on the stand. A big bunch of roses was handed to the governor. The governor's daughter arrived at this time and took a seat near her father, who discarded the chairs provid ed for him and the other reviewing offi cers and stood. By this time the first band, playing an inspiring air, reached the stand. Be hind it was the wholesale dry goods men. The vacant seats in the stands had rapidly filled up and the long re view of the huge commercial army com menced. The men who filed past the stand in a quick step, bared their heads, despite the dripping rain, and the governor in compliment did the same. "Hello, Teddy," "Three cheers for our next vice president," "You're all right," were the shouts that greeted Governor Roosevelt. The continuous cheering, mingled with the music of the bands, made a din at the reviewing stand that drowned all other sounds. A few of the paraders carried umbrellas and these were gen erally lowered when the governor's box was being passed. The comparatively narrow opening in the Dewey arch disorganized many of the companies, and some of the lines were thrown out of alignment. Each parader wore in his buttonhole a carna tion, out of compliment to President McKinley, whose favorite flower it is. Some of the salutations that greeted the governor amused him immensely antfc-he invariably rewarded the men in. line with a hearty response. It was exactly 12 o'clock when the last of the wholesale dry g-oods men the largest body of marchers in the parade passed the reviewing stand. The rain had evidently kept many men from par ticipating in the biff demonstration. The central dry goods division, mar shalled by Gen. Joseph W. Congdon, reached the stand at 12:15 o'clock, after the clothiers' legion and the merchant tailors' sound money league had passed. The marshal's aides carried handsome blue streamers and won much applause. Like the other divisions, this organiza tion used megaphones to emphasize the cheers. "Hurrah for Roosevelt. First in peace, first in war and first in the hearts of his countrymen," was the slo gan of the central dry goods men. Ine of the bands inhis division played One of the bands in this division played the first patriotic air to be played at this point of the parade, and it was loudly cheered by the crowd. DENVER ELECTION ROW United States Marshal May Be Enjoined From Interfering. Denver, Nov. 3. Mayor Johnson of this city has applied to the United States district court to prevent the appoint ment of deputies by United States Mar shal Bailey to serve at the polls next Tuesday, and Judge Hallett has made an order requiring the marshal to show cause on or before Monday next why the petition should not be granted. The mayor in his petition declares that the action of the marshal causes great danger of violence and bloodshed and intimidation of voters; that it is in the power of the court to remove all such deputies at its pleasure and to prevent the marshal and his deputies from inter fering with the election. 2,000 FAEMElTs. Farada in Honor of Stevenson at Ft. Wayne. Fort Wayne, Ind.. Nov. 3. Adlai E. Stevenson received yesterday the great est ovation ever given any candidate in this city, eclipsing even the Bryan recep tion In 1S96. In the afternoon there was a parade composed of 2.000 farmers. Last night the largest political parade ever seen in the city took place. In the afternoon Mr. Stevenson spoke briefly from the balcony of the Wayne hotel to 3.000 people and last night spoke to an audience of over 5.000 people at Princess Kink. Many hundreds more una bio to secure admission. BIG PARADE AT CLEVELAND Republican Bally Surpasses Any thing Previously Seen. Cleveland, Nov. 3. The Republicans closed their campaign here today with a big parade, which considering the en thusiasm and the number of men in line, surpassed any political demonstration ever witnessed in this city. The weather conditions were superb, the sun shining bright and the air was cool and bracing. It was estimated that from 50,000 to 60, 000 men took part in the demonstration, several thousand of whom were mount ed. Silversmiths FaiL Greenfield, Mass., Nov. 2. A. F.

Dull In Wall Street New Tork, Nov. 3. The Wall Street Weekly says: Stocks have been dull and have tended towards reaction. Commission houses have advised against speculation and have demanded an ex tension of margins, thus forcing swrne liquidation. Last week's large realizing has made important interests willing to see some recession in prices. The sharp stiffening in money rates late in the week added to the disinclination to carry stocks over the election and brought some considerable offerings upon the market. The market has miss ed the stimulating effect of last week's feverish manipulation for a rise and there has been a notable decline in the outside interest in stocks, as well as In bonds. THEIR LASJ WORD Anti Nichols Republicans Issue an Address. Explain In Detail Why They Are Supporting Clark. FIND ILLEGAL VOTERS Say They Found 30 In One Pre cinct Who Lived Elsewhere. Influences "Which Are Now at Work to Elect Nichols. The citizens' committee In charge of the anti-Nichols campaign for county attorney has issued the final address. It is as follows: V1 To the Republican Voters: I Six months ago overwhelming evi dence was produced proving that the pretended nomination of Galen Nichol3 was accomplished by fraud. Excluding the First and Second wards, C. F. Spen cer received a majority of 400 over Nich ols, but in the two precincts of the First ward and the west precinct of the Sec ond ward, through the votes of Demo crats, Populists and repeaters, the wishes of the Republican voters of the county were thwarted and Nichols was returned as the nominee. Some of the proofs of these assertions are as fol lows: The number of votes cast at the 1900 primary in the two wards was more than 50 per cent greater than the num ber of votes cast in the 1898 primary, and about 500 greater than was ever cast at any previous primary. Since the Crawford system as been in vogue the vote in the two ards at Republican primaries for county attorney has been as follows: In 1894 the vote wast 1,397. i In 1S96 the vote was 1,429. In 1898 the vote was 1,229. In 1900 the vote was 1,906. A careful scrutiny of the poll books since the previous address of this com mittee reveals the fact that 199 Demo crats or Fusionists voted at the primar ies in the First ward and in the west precinct of the Second ward. In the west precinct of the Second ward alone there were found the names of thirty voters who were residents in other wards of the city and registered in other wards of the city. This makes 229 ascertained illegal votes in the three precincts. In addition to this, there are in the three precincts several hundred on the primary poll books that are not re corded in the city directory and not reg istered for 1900 and not known in these precincts. As Nichols only claims to have received a plurality of 152 votes, it is absolutely certain that he failed by several hundred to receive a plurality of the Republican votes cast. He is, therefore, not the Republican nominee. A careful comparison of all previous primary votes with the Republican, gen eral election vote shows that the Re publican election vote has always been from a third to a half greater than the primary vote. The average primary vote of the First ward has been 569. The vote at the last primary was 836. The average primary vote in the Second ward has been 782. The vote at the last primary was 1,070. If the Republican election vote next Tuesday should ex ceed the primary vote by the usual pro portion the Republican vote in the two wards will be practically equal to the combined vote for Stanley and Leedy in 189S. At the so-called Republican primaries of 1900 in these two wards the vote for county attorney was 192 greater than the vote in the hotly contested represen tative fight in which the shopmen were so much interested. The total number of illegal votes in the First ward and in the west precinct of the Second ward, including Democrats, fusionists, repeat ers from the city and outside, is esti mated at about 600 votes. All the joint ists and other crooks aid plug-uglies of the town were at work in the First ward and the west precinct of the Second, and they were at work for Nichols. Beer and whisky were abundant, and beer and whisky are always for fraud. The brewery agents, the jointists and all the lawless elements of the city who succeeded in stealing the nomination at the primaries are now at work to secure the election of Nichols. These elements are unanimous for Nichols. In an address recently issued to the German voters of the county and pub lished in the German paper, we find the following statements: "Why has the prohibition element of the Republican party nominated for candidate George W, Clark for county attorney? Answer: Because he has solemnly pledged himself to the strict execution of the fanatical plans of this hypocritical rabble. In the sheep's garb of personal liberty represented by the Democracy, shall you allow yourselves to be misled by these prohibition sharp ers into voting for their tool, Clark?" The chairman and secretary of the Republican county central committee, acting without authority so to do by a full meeting have issued a long address rfull of erroneous statements in the name of the committee in a lame and late at tempt to answer the charges which were publicly made and have remained unan swered and practically admitted for six months. In this remarkable address they say: "It is false that friends of Mr. Galen Nichols strenuously resisted an investigation of the primary election by the central committee, aIuj the only contest over the returns was that the committee should recount the ballots." The facts are that Messrs. T. F. Garver, J. W. Gleed, F. P. Lindsay and H. G. Larimer each asked, not only for a recount of the ballots, but for an investigation of the practices resorted to in the west precincts of the First and Second wards which they recited in de tail. Each of these gentlemen and the 200 earnest Republicans attending them were jeered at and insulted by friends of Mr. Nichols who sat with the com mittee while the charges were being presented. The committee took no notice of these charges and refused to recount the ballots and to go into an investiga tion. Proceeding further in this address, these two gentlemen tacitly admit that gros3 frauds were committed because they say, "There should be a law pro viding for registration of party voters preceding each primary, excluding all unregistered persons and punishing il legal voters violating the law. Mr. Nichols is not responsible for the system and ought not to be made to shoulder all its defects." Whether Mr. Nichols is alone responsible or whether the responsibility should be partly borne by all the brewery agents and jointists who supported him then and are still supporting him, need not be dis cussed. Mr. Nichols ia in any event the receiver of the stolen goods and the question is not so much whether Mr. Nichols shall be punished as whether such gross and shameless frauds shall be endorsed at the election or rebuked. It is true that the registration in the First ward is about 100 larger than It ever was before, and in the Second ward about 150 larger, but the Second ward has very often been a Democratic ward and the Republican majority in the First ward is not very large, so that not more than a half or a little more than a half of the additional registration can be considered to be Republican registra tion. Some effort ia made to gauge the Re publican vote of te First ward by the election vote received by Charles Curtis. This is obviously absurd because every body knows the extreme popularity of Charles Curtis and everybody knows that he has at election received a con siderable Democratic and Populist vote from his neighbors. Democrats and Pop ulists may lawfully vote for a popular neighbor at an election but they may not lawfully vote as they did at a Re publican primary. By order of the executive committee of the citizens' movement. ALBERT WATKINS, Sec'y. N. II. LOOMIS, Chairman. BULLET IN HIP. Wounded Man Refuses to Have Man Who Shot Him Arrested. Joe Buchanan, a colored man living at 1313 Monroe street, was shot last night by Albert Jordan, also colored. The bullet entered the hip and made a pain ful but not dangerous wound. The men had been to the show and were returning home when they got into a fight. Buchanan attacked Jordan who drew his revolver and fired twice. One shot missed and the other took effect in the hip. Buchanan did not re port the affair to the police until this morning and when the officers went to the house they found him sitting in a chair with a lot of bloody rags on the wound. He would not tell how the fight oc curred and said that he would not prosecute Jordan. Jordan bears a good reputation, but Buchanan Is a bad man. He was in a fight several weeks ago with Jerry Merriweather and was cut on the shoulder, but refused to make a complaint. His home is in Missouri and he promised the police that he would go there at once. HEART TO HEART TALK. Col. Bryan Addresses the Iro quois Club In Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 3. W. J. Bryan began the last day of the Democratic campaign with an address before the Iroquois club at noon today. His numerous speeches of last night did not permit him to re tire until long after midnight and he did not arise today until 10 o'clock. Be ginning with his speech at noon at an informal dinner tendered him by the Iroquois club Mr. Bryan will speak all afternoon in different parts of the city and suburbs, concluding at 8 o'clock this evening when he will review the final Democratic parade of the cam paign. In his address uefore the Iroquois club, Mr. Bryan said in part: "A man amounts to very little in this world except as he stands for some good principle. I know that whatever good you will manifest towards me is not manifested towards me as an individual, but merely towards me as the represen tative for the time being of a great party which stands upon the principles which you believe in. We can not tell what the future is for any one or any nation. I have challenged the creden tials of these men who have been going up and down the land pretending to tell us what this nation's destiny is. I be lieve that no man is able to see the end from 'the beginning; but that God does not require of any man. All that he requires of us is that we do our duly as we see it and when we do our duty as we see it we are relieved from further responsibility. "I am glad in this campaign that we have the support of many who were against us before. I do not criticise them harshly and I did not when they left us because I believe that the great majority left because they conscientious ly believed that the country was in dan ger, I did not agree with them in that I did not believe that the people or the country would be in danger because of my election and I make the statement to you now that if I had been elected we would not be now confronted by the crisis that is before us. I believe that those who voted against me were at least in nearly all cases men who voted against me because they thought that they were doing their duty to their country. "I believe the issue today is even greater than the issue of I860 for then the question was whether we shoulct have one republic or two republics; but now the issue in this campaign is wheth er we shall have one republic. "Our appeal has been to the con science and the judgment of the Ameri can people. I am glad that this is the only kind of an appeal that we could make. If it is my destiny to be the president of the United States I do not want to feel that I am president be cause somebody was bought to 'ote Lr me or compelled to do it against his will. If I am elected there is a great work before me, and if I am called upon to perform that work I want to feel that I have behind me the hearts of the American people as well as their votes, and therefore my one purpose in life will be to disappoint no honest man who voted for me. "I can not hope that my administra tion if elected will be free from mistakes for I contend that perfection is not to be found in this world and that all that we can do is to approach it as nearly as we can with the light before us and with a sincere purpose to do what ia right.

Saving In Wear Balances In creased Cost of Construction. The Box Cars Are Not Things of Beauty. The order for the erection of a num ber of steel ballast and freight cars for the Santa. Fe has been completed aaut the cars are now out on the road for trial. The cai-a were built at the To Ieka shops and the last ones were sent out yesterday. In the final lot were two pteel boxcars and one ballast car. The two boxcars just turned out with the stamp "Topeka 11-2-00"' upon them ere of 46,000 and 49,000 pounds weight respectively. They are 40 feet in length and have a capacity of 80,000 pounds. They have a bulky look alongside of eome of the compact trim-looking freight cars that wear wooden coats. A railroad man who has an intimate acquaintance with car construction, a.id: "The first cost of steel cars is greater than the ordinary wooden cars. Advan tage will be found in the life of the car, its durability in case3 of wreck and con sequently a lessening should show in the ost of operation. Some claim that the extra cost ia a'nnulled by the economy of the first year's running. That the steel boxcars will prove a success, I am not certain. I think ballast cars and coal cars have proTed their efficiency and iwiil lie the cars of the future." MR. HODGE DYING. Santa Fe Master Car Builder Fast Sinking in Chicago.

Southern Pacific Alliance Appears in New Line's Opening:. The mutual friendliness of the Santa Fa and Southern Pacific, another con firmation of the recent alliance of in terests, is evidenced in circulars- and advertising matter Just issued. A joint circular by the passenger de partments announces to connecting lines and advises them of the correct routing and points of interchange of through tickets to California points. The an nouncement is made in connection with, the opening of the new line which the Santa Fe has just built into San Fran cisco. The Santa Fe makes individual an nouncement of the opening of its new line by an artistic booklet in which several oil painting reproductions are given, showing scenes along the route. PENSION SYSTEM EXTENDED Pennsylvania Employes "West of Pittsburg Now Included. Pittsburg. Pa.. Nov. 3. Official notices were posted today of the establishment of a pension system for the. employes of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts burg. The new system will go into effect on January 1, 1901. Employes aged 70 years or more will be given the option of retiring from service on half pay. An other provision also stipulates that if an employe has been crippled in the service of the road he can retire at the age of 65 years. The system has been in vogue on the Pennsylvania railway for some time, and as it has met with the approv al of the employes, it has been decided to extend it over the entire Pennsylva nia lines. SANTA FE LOCALS. The first Lidgerwood union der to ar rive has been set up on a flHt car and placed with the rest of the grade reduc tion equipment that is accumulating in the yard.

It is not known how long he will be compelled to remain here. Fireman Ike Mason was taken sick at Dodge City and had to give up his run. Elmer TMmeling went out with Engineer Saunders on train 307 in his place. Mr. Mason was unable to make the initial trip on the new run to which he has been as signed. Two sections of No. 1 Wednesday night, two of 33 in the afternon and four sec tions of train 34 are some indications of the immense business the Santa Fe is handling at present. Were the same num ber of tars assigned to the trains today there were two years ago. the middle di vision would have to emplov many more trainmen to handle this large and ever increasing traftic FROM HERINGTON. Agent R. G. Holaday, of Mineola, who has been away for some time has return ed to duty. H. W. Donaldson, agent at Tampa, was called to Kansas City, recently, on account of sickness of his wife, who was taken there for treatment.

I SPORTING NEWS. Nearly All the Bicycle Records Smashed. Taylor's Mile In 1:19 Alone SurviTes Attack. IMPROVEMENTS SHOWN Terrible Terry Knocks Out Joe Bernstein. Finishes Up the Little Fighter In Seventh Bound. New York, Nov. 3. The only bicycle record to withstand all assaults this year is the one mile.made by Major Tay lor at Washington, park October 15, 1899. Last week the time on all miles from the second to the fourteenth was smashed and the hour record placed at 40 miles 330 yards. The records were all estao lished at Brockton. Mass. luring the last 24 years nothing in the line of sports or physical effort tias de veloped more rapidly than that of bi cycle riding, and the men who were fa mous in that line a few years ago must open their eyes at the tremendous speed attained by the young men who are at the front in that branch of sport today. In 1876 F. L. Dodds at Cambridge. Eng land, rode against time on a bicycle, making 15 miles and 1.4S0 yards during one hour's riding. This was considered a wonderful feat at that time when the few men who were riding bicycles were mounted on the old-style ordinary ma chines. But great as Dodds' perform ance was, it did not remain a record veiy long, as before the expiration of the same year John Keen succeeded in roll ing up IS miles and 4S7 yards within the hour at Lillie Bridge. England. Keen's record stood for nearly three years, as it was not till June, 1879, that C. H. F. Christie sent the figures of the hour ride up to 18 miles and 1,5:S0 yards at Oxford, England. Just how long the record might have remained there is un certain, as in the following year a new wrinkle was added to the snort by the introduction of pace-making, which, of course, added Incentive to the task, and with its aid H. L. Cortis made a record of 19 miles and 1,420 yards at Stamford Bridge, England. The record was an English possession until the year 1885, when W. A. Rowe at Springfield, Mass., brought the honor to America by mak ing a record of 20 miles and 1,012 yards. Three years the glory of the hour time remained in this country and then an other wrinkle was inaugurated by the introduction of the safety bicycle as a factor in wheeling competition. In 1883 Stillman G. Whittaker, at Bordeaux, France, made a tally of 21 miles and 126 yards in the 60 minutes. From that time the record has been increased gradually, the honor of hold ing it alternating between France and England. Perfection of the bicycle, de crease in weight and increased ability in the pace-making were the principal factors In doing the work. In 1S98 Edouard Taylore, a French rider, accomplished the remarkable task of riding 33 miles and 936 yards in th city of Philadelphia. Taylore had the aid of pacemakers mounted on big ma chines quads, quintets and sextets and was furthermore benefited by a wooden track built on the most scien--tine principles. BIG M'CRACKEN WILL PLAY. Penn Refuses to Remove Him on the Protest of Harvard. Philadelphia, Nov. 2. Harvard foot ball authorities have been unable to Keep big Joe McCracken out of Sat urday's game, since it was not in their province to decide who sha.ll represent the red and blue. However, a member of the scrub team came very near to put ting the giant full back on the hospital list in the first line-up in Tuesday's practice, although few knew it until to day. McCracken caught the ball from the kickoft and made a brilliant run of 20 yards, when he was tackled by Merriam, the scrub left end. The protested full back went down hard, but with his usual gameness, continued in the game. Very fw knew that he had received a severe muscle bruise just above the, knee, which for a time threatened to do' what the Harvard authorities cannot do put him on the side lines. SANTRY'S CAREER MAY EN D Feared That Injury is More Serious Than. at First Reported. Chicago, Nov. 3. It is possible Ed die Santry may never be seen in the ring "Every married man must asfe his wife's permission to make a success. That waa a saying of a wise old clergyman who knew that marriage was a partnership in the broadest sense, and that there can be no success in any partnership in which the partners do not contribute equally to make success possible, i'or this, it lor no other reason, every man who is trying to climb the ladder of success should be interested in his wife's health. A healthy woman is always helpiui. A tired, nervous woman, depleted in strength and depressed in mind, can contribute neither mentally nor physically to a husband's success. The remarkable rem edy, Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription, so strengthens the organs peculiarly feminine, dries up debilitating drains, heals ulcerations and inflammations, and cures female trouble, that the causes of ill- health are thus entirely removed, and the healthy, happy wife becomes a genuine help-meet to the husband. I was sick for twelve years, and for two years I had to stop work altogether," writes Mrs. Bell McCrobie, of Oakland. Garrett Co.. Maryland. 4 1 was treated by fire different phvsicianB, who proaounced my case Bright's disease, impover ished condition of the blood, and uterine trouble. I suffered a great deal with pain in both sides and much tenderness in pressingover the womb. I was bloated at times in bowels and limbs. Was troubled with a disagreeable discharge from the internal organs. I could not sleep and was troubled with palpitation of the heart. Suf fered a great deal of pain in my head, temples, forehead and eyes, and I also suffered excruciat ing pain at monthly periods. Since taking eleven bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion. I have enjoyed better health than I had for more than twelve years previously, and have gained ia weight t Treaty-five pounds since tak ing your medicines." Sick women can consult Dr. R. V. Pierce by letter, addressed to Buffalo. N. Y., abso lutely without charge. Each letter is read in private, its statements held in sacred confidence, and all answers are mailed, sealed in plain envelopes, without adver tising or other printed matter. It i9 a good thing to keep Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets in the house. One Pellet is laxative, two a cathartic dose. Li 7n V5m again, because of the injury he receivedr a rew oays ago in the Hoard of Trade gymnasium while boxing with Tommy Ryan. His manager, Tom Hanton, went out to see the fighter Tuesday afternoon to have him appear at Tattersall's dur ing the evening, if possible, but the doc tor forbade Santry leaving his bed, pre scribing absolute quiet for the boy for at least two weeks in. order that the wrench and break may have time to heal. Santry is much discouraged at his misfortune. He had every hope of tak ing the long end of the purse with "Kid" Broad Tuesday night and was preparing to make a number of other matches, one of his prospective opponents being Tommy Suliivan, the Brooklyn fighter. It was stated yesterday by one, who said he knew that the injury to Santry was caused by a knockdown, Santry dropping on his right knee and cracking the bone. Others who saw the affair denied this, and say the injury was caused by a sudden sidestep which brought about the fall to the floor. OUT IN THE SEVENTH. McGovern Whips Joe Bernstein at Louisville.

SAYS IT'S A FAILURE. Bryan's Estimation of the Re publican Campaign. Chicago, Nov. 3. William J. Bryan has given out the following statement in the form of an interview: "The Republican campaign has been a failure. The full dinner pail argument has been repudiated by the workingmen and the Republicans are compelled to confess that a large proportion of the la bor vote will be cast for the Democratic ticket. Besides believing with the Dem oerats in the general doctrines of equal rights to all and Epecial privileges to none, the laboring men are against the trusts, the large army and the colonial policy. The laboring men are also drawn to the Democratic party by the fact that our party is opposed to government by lnjunction, to the blacklist and to Chi nese immigration and in favor of arbi tration and of a cabinet officer selected to represent the wage earners. "The Republicans are now hoping to hold their strength among the farmers, but they have no policy which will bene fit the farmer. The man who makes his living on the farm is the victim of all the vicious legislation for which the Re publican party is responsible, and re ceives none of the benefits conferred by special legislation upon corporations and syndicates. The farmer pays more than his share of the taxes and receives less than his share of the consideration of government. Republican policies have lessened the value of farm lands, in creased the proportion of tenants and have driven the farmers' sons away from the farm, thus intensifying the struggle for existence In the cites. The farmers are almost unanimously oppos ed to the trusts and they can have no sympathy with the imperialistic policy of the Republican party with its attend ant increase in the military establish ment. I believe that the election will show that we have gained among the farmers as well as in the cities. "The small business men and the pro fessional men are also feeling the effect of the industrial despotism which has grown up with this administration. "The poor are coming to the Demo cratic party because they want a chance in the race ror life and many of the well to do are coming because they realize that the Democratic party affords better protection to honest wealth than the Republican party. "The Republican party is under the control of those who seek advantage through governmental favoritism and grow rich by the exploitation of citizens at home and subjects abroad. It is a fight between Democracy on the one side and plutocracy on the other and Democ racy appeals to the judgment and to the conscience of those who are willing to iet live as wen as to live."

ARE VERY FEW The Cases That Pyramid Pile Core Will Not Reach. The cases that Pyramid Pile cure do not reach are so few that physicians are doing away with operations for piles and depend more and more upon this simple but safe and effective remedy to accomplish a complete cure and it never disappoints in any form of piles, wheth er protruding, itching or bleeding. Mr. Thomas E.Wood of 818 17th street, Sacramento, Cal., writes: "It affords me much pleasure to state that after using only one 30 cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure, I was cured of the painful and annoying disease, after having suf fered from piles for thirty years and tried every thing and could only get temporary relief. I was advised by two of the best physicians in California to have an operation and I did and suffered almost death but the piles returned and my suffering at times was so great I was not able to walk until I saw an ad vertisement of the Pyramid Pile cure. I got it at once and was relieved from the first application. I am so grateful that I feel like recommending it to any and everyone afflicted with piles." The prompt relief and rapid cure which follow the use of this remedy gave the impression that possibly it might contain opium, cocaine or some similar drug but a careful and frequent analysis of the remedy has proven it to contain no injurious drugs whatever, but it cures by aBtringent properties and heal ing oils.

"It amounts almost to fanaticism and chicanery," said Mr. Hanna. "for a man who aspires to the high office of president to raise a question so foreign to the principles and future of our gov ernment to talk about imperialism as an issue. It is but another bogyman to frighten the people. A man who as cribes the purposes to our standing army that have been ascribed in this campaign knows that he lies when he says it. By his acts and his words Mr. Bryan is laying the foundation in this country for socialism and anarchy.

He Hakes Quotations From Got. BooseTelt's Book. Chicago, Nov. 3. William J. Bryan's programme in Chicago yesterday com prised twelve speeches. The crowds that greeted him were greater than those at the meetings of the previous day and night. The candidate began, his itinerary in Handel hall in the down town business district, going from there ta the public library, where he spoke ta an outdoor gathering of working-men. After luncheon he made two addresses in the Old Vienna pavilion at Sixtieth street and Cottage G-rove avenue, one to the crowd in the building and the other to the throng that was unable to gain admittance. Here was the only semblance of disturbance manifested during the day. Two men in the audi ence asked, almost simultaneously, "Hot about North Carolina?" and Mr. Bryan was replying when one of the Questioners insisted on asking a question concerning trusts, when the crowd de manded that be be thrown out and threatened to lynch him. Mr. Bryan in sisted upon answering, however, but could not do so for some time, owing to the uproar made by the crowd in ex pressing its resentment toward the in quisitor. The latter was saved from vi olence only by police interference. Mr. Bryan's night meetings were held on the north, west, southwest and south sid-es of the city, the closing speech be ing made at midnight at State and Thirty-first streets. At the Old Vienna. meeting Mr. Bryan said: "Nothing is too sacred to be attacked by the Republican party ia Its greed for gold and for foreign lands. And I want to show you that when we denounce these methods that the Republicans now employ, when we deny their destiny doc trine, we are only saying what the Re publicans themselves have said in the past. I want to read you wnat tne Re publican candidate for vice president said on this subject in well, the book was published in 1399, copyrighted for the first time in 'The general feeling in the west upon this subject after it was crystallized is what became known as the "manifest destiny" idea, which, reduced to its simplest terms, was that it was our manifest destiny to swallow up the lands c-f all adjoining nations who are too weak to withstand us. A theory that forthwith obtained immense popularity anong all statesmen of easy Interna tional morality.' (Applause.) They tell you it is destiny, manifest aestmy. Mr. Roosevelt described manifest destiny as the idea of swallowing up those who are too weait to witnstana us. i ne only air ference between the manifest destiny that he denounces and the manifest des tiny which he and the Republican party now support is that when, he denounced the destinv it was swallowing up ad joining lands and the destiny he supports crosses an ocean 7.000 miles wide to swallow outside lands." (Applause.) Quoting again from Governor Roose velt, he read the following: "Of course no one would wish to see this or any other settled community now added to our domain by farce; wa want no unwilling citizens to enter our union." The speaker added: "That Is what it was then. vv e want no unwilling citi zens to enter our union. That is what Mr. Roosevelt said then. That is what we say now; but the Republican, party has changed." Mr. Bryan continued reading: "The time to have taken the islands was be fore settlers came upon them. Euro pean nations war for the possession, erf thickly settled destnets, wmctt ir con quered w-ill for centuries remain, alien and hostile to the conquerors." There he recognized that when you take people by force they will for centuries remain. aiien and hostile to tne conqueror. Again reading: 'Wa wiser in our generation have seized waste solitude that lav near us, tne limitless rorests. the never-ending plains and the valleys of the great, lonely rivers, and have thrust our sons into them to take pos session, and a score of years after such conquest we see the conquered land teeming with a people that is ona with ours." "That was good Republican doctrine then, but the Republican party has de parted from its old ideals. The Republi can party has accepted European doc trines, and today the Republican party stands for those policies which have been employed by European empires and which have cursed both the empires and the coIonis. We do not believe in the holding of colonies. We do not be lieve in holding over people a govern ment to which they are hostile. We do not want them to be aliens for centuries to come. We are not willing to curse thi3 nation or the Philippine isiands with a carpet bag government held in force by a large standing army." (Cheers and continued applause.) At another point ia his speech Mr. Bryan said: "One of our Democratic speakers in this city by mistake got to the wrong meeting the other night. There was a Republican meeting in the same town in which he was advertised to speak. He went out alone and he got into the Re publican meeting by mistake. He told the doorkeeper that he was one of the speakers and went up on to the platform and the man who had charge of the meeting said to him: 'Don't say any thing about pulling down the flag here, we are not discussing imperialism.' (Laughter and applause.) He said: 'But how can a Democrat make a speech without discussing that?' The chair man said: 'Are you a Democrat? The soeaker said. 'Tes.' The chairman said: "Then, this is the wrong meeting. ("Lausthter and applause.) Now. my friends, that took place, and the Demo crat who had that experience served in congress at the same time I did. No wonder they don't talk about imperial ism." Early in the evening, at Brand's hall on North Clark street. Mr. Bryan ad dressed as many persons as could crowd into the building- At the Second Regi ment Armory, where Mr. Bryan faced a great crowd, appearing there after the Democratic gusernatorial candidate, Mr. Aischuyler, had made a speech, he re ferred to a speech made there near the close of the campaign in 1536, and told his audience that he was glad in coming before them at this time he was not so wearied as when he addressed them four years ago. In his speech here Mr. Bryan discussed the trusts and imperialism. In connec tion with hi3 trust argument he raised a laueh when he said: "When I see how anxious the Republi cans are for fear that what they call a HOW A PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL ESCAPED DREAD Peruna Used in Time Saved All's Well that Ends Well. It is the same old story of exposure to cold. The cold passing down the bron chial tubes to the lungs; the developing of a settled cold on the lungs, coughing, expectoration. This is a short road to consumption. Thousands of people have traveled it. Thousands more will travel it and the coming winter will develop an untold multitude of new cases. In the case of Helen Murphy, the end ing was a happy one. She started on the road to consumption after catching cold at a reception. Instead of waiting until she became incurable, Peruna was resorted to and her life was saved. It is a pity that every one else ia this wide land could not know of this very effective remedy m such cases. The news is spreading fast but a great many people have not yet heard that Peruna is a sure cure in these cases. Peruna cures acute catarrh and chronic catarrh; catarrh of the head and catarrh of the lungs; catarrh of the throat and catarrh of the stomach. Wherever ca tarrh may have located Itself, whether in the digestive organs, kidneys or pel vic organs, Peruna is sure to eradicate the disease promptly. Another case where consumption was cheated of its prey occurred in the state of Iowa. The report of the case created considerable attention at the time and was iurnished us unsolicited by Mr. Henrickson. In a letter to Dr. Hartma.n he sets forth some interesting details of his rescue from consumption. He made use of the following language: "I have been for years a constant suf ferer from chronic catarrh cf the head and throat, which finally worked down into the air passages. In the spring of "M I took a severe culd and coughed all summer. I thought I had consumption. Then I had a bad attack of la grippe. After taking a course of Peruna I feel cured of ail these troubles. Whenever any of our children get sick we give them Peruna, and it never fails to cure them. I most heartily testify to the value of Peruna in cases of catarrh and la grippe. I hope this may be the means of others suffering as I did to take Peruna and be cured. We would not be without it in the house." Henry Henrickson. Generally the first cold of the season is caught in November. With some peo ple this lasts all winter and lays the foundation of chronic catarrh. In the beginning a few doses of Peruna is suf ficient to make a permanent cure. Send for Dr. Hartman's latest bok on chronic catarrh.

The picture showed the lions tearing the Christians to pieces in the arena. The boy looked at the picture for a moment, and then his face bright ened up as he thought he caught the idea and, pointing down into the corner of the picture, he said: "Why. mamma, there is one poor little lion that ain't getting a bite.' "I submit to you that the Republican party is more worried about the poor little lion that it is not getting its share than people who are being bitten and devoured by these private monopolies." After speaking of the Filipinos, then of the Boers. Mr. Bryan said: "Today the Republican party is so paralyzed by imperialism that it can not express this nation's sympathy with the Boers who are fighting for tn ngnt to govm themselves. "Republicans, shame on your party!

Out at Oakley avenue and Twentv-sec-ond street on the west side, Mr. Bryan sooke in the open air to a. vast assem blage. Here he discussed briefly the lead ing issues of tile campaign. In a big tent at Spauiding and Madison avenues. Mr. Bryan spoke briefly, devot ing most of his time to imperialism, but touching upon the trusts, in response to queries from the audience. At Twenty-ninth and Halstead streets, nearer the stock y arris. Mr. Brvan ad dressed a great crowd that had gath ered under a tent. This speech, was de voted wholly to imperialism. In a speech at Puiaski hall, on South Ashland avenue, Mr. Bryan said: "The Repubucan party has fastened on the country a trust system, a system of private monopoly whereby the industries of the country are being gathered into the hands of a few peopie and those at the head of these industries are gathering in from the peoole and building f irtunes with a rapidity never known in the his tory of the world, and now in the cam paign the Rffoubiican party goes to these trusts and ask3 for a campaign fund on condition that the trusts shall be per mitted to gather from the people for four vears more. You think you are not contributing to the Republican campahrs. No, not directly. The Republican party did not come to you and ask you to con tribute to the campaiim fund, but it went to the trusts ?.r.d asked them to contri bute a part of the money that they have been taking from you for four years. (Ap plause.) Thus you are really contribut ing involuntarily to the Republican cam paign fund and now I want to sav to you Republicans, that, having contributed in voluntarily to the Republican camnaiirn fund, you will have a chance to contri bute voluntarily to Democratic success on election day.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1900 4 ALL GQHOME. State House Left In Charge of Stenographers. Dust Accumulates While Jani tors Go Home to Vote. UNEASY IS THE HEAD. People Who Are Titally Inter ested In liesult of Election. If It is Close Result May 5iot Be Known Till Thursday. The state house this afternoon Is In charge of the women stenographers and clerks. The building will remain un swept too, until after the election be cause the janitors and the state officers, assistant state officers, and the men clerks, have gone home to perform their respective parts towards saving thr? country next Tuesday and to insure, if )oasibie, a two years' additional term of office. Attorney General Godard is the only Etate officer who votes in Topeka- The judges of the supreme court all vote out of town and they have gone to their re Fpective homes to avail themselves of the rights of citizenship. Mrs. Diggs, etate librarian, is a state officer who could vote in Topeka, if her idea of suffrage was in force in this state but it isn't so Mrs. Diggs has come in from the campaign to rest whila doing her official work. There will be no official business transacted at the state departments proper until the arrival of trains Tues day afternoon from such points as the time necessary to travel the distance would permit such trains to leave after the opening of the polls Tuesday morn insr. The "fixers" and men of "influence employed at the state house and at Re publican and Populist headquarters will iitay with tne voters until tne couth beains, then they will return to head quarters and await the result and re ceive returns. The actual result will probably not be known until next Thursday or Friday, unless it is decisive. At that time the prophecies of one side or the other will begin to be proven. The side which is winning will have crowds come on every train. The side which loses will meet those coming traveling on trains going homeward where in the silence of gloom caused by defeat end in the freedom from election jibes, the losers will nerve themselves to another appearance in public, necessary before another month's rent is due on the headquarters rooms, prior to which time the furniture will be gotten out and the scene of the late unpleasantness locked up in solitude. Four years ago in Kansas definite election results were not obtainable un til the Thursday following the election. Inuring the interval however, the state committee chairmen were busy issuing bulletins to cheer up their anxious friends. Some were anxious because they had money up on the result. Others wer; anxious because prospects of jobs hinged on the election. This year there is rot so much inquiry because of the money at stake, but if Mr. Breidenthal is elected Topeka until Inauguration, will le tilled with applicants for positions. 3dr. Stanley's jobs are all filled. If Bryan should be elected president there are several dozen men In fat of fices in Kansas who will begin immedi ately the work of packing their official trur.ks in order to hamper, as little as possible, the duty of the new adminis tration, as they see it. There is not in Kansas today a Re publican officeholder who is not abso lutely confident that he will retain his federal office for another four years and his state job two years more. What consternation there would be in the Sunflower state If the result were otherwise than these gentlemen antici pate. In 1S92 when Grover Cleveland wallop ed Benjamin Harrison, the same air of confidence in the result pervaded Kan sas. Harrison admirers regarded him as the supporters of the Washburn foot ball team looked upon the players when they went to Denver. "They can't lose" jsaid the fans, but they did. In '92 the Republicans said: "Harrison can't lose" but he did and was figuratively at least," buried too. He has scarcely recovered up to this date. So the peole are prepared for anything nowadays. The Republicans claim ma jorities; the Democrats and Populists likewise, for the state ticket; the legis lature and the election of a solid con gressional delegation. National Chairman Jones announces .that the victory has been won but he does not say by whom. Chairman Hanna admitting that Republicans are In dan ger of over-confidence, claims every- thing in sight from the election of Mc Kinley to the election of state adminis trations in Democratic strongholds from which shall also come. In the opinion of Mr. Hanna, Republicans enough to give both branches of congress a safe major ity to sustain the policies of President McKinley. Despite all of these claims, coming as they do from every political headquar ters, no orders have yet been placed by any party for fireworks with- which to celebrate the victory. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. The funeral of John Waldo will be held at the residence of J. W. Tillman Not TOO Morris street at 9 o'clock tomor row morning. Burial will bo in the Do ver cemetery. E. T. Stewart, a patient at the lnsan asylum, died last night. The remains were sent to his home in Hoisington for burial. He was 50 years old. Ten Killed In Mina Disaster. Cincinnati, Nov. S. A Times-Star spe cial says an explosion In the BerTyburg coal mine at Philiippi, W. Va., killed 32 and injured over 100 men. President Berry shortly before 2 o'clock received a telephone message from Berrybursr, saying that 10 men were killed and four arriously injured, three of whom will probably die. The mine, however, was damaged very slightly. Serious Strika in Jamaica. Kingston, Jamaica, Nov.3. The strike of the employes of the Canadian-American Street railroad is serious. The ser vice is almost at a standstill. A few cars are running under police protection and a strong police force has been call ed out to guard the works from assault. Howard and Youtaey Moved.

Supplant Kansas City Southern Di rectors at Reorganization. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 3 The board of directors of the Kansas City Southern Railway company was reorganized at a special meeting of the officers of the company in this city today. Five of the old directors were dropped from the board and five new ones elected. The board of directors as reorganized Is as follows: E. H. Harriman, New York; Otto H. Kahn. New York; W. F. Harrity, Phil adelphia; John W. Gates, Chicago; S. R. Knott, Kansas City; Lawrence Greer, New York; George J. Gould, New York; Kdwin Gould, New York; S. W. Fordyce, St. Louis; H. C. Pierce, St. Louis; John Mitchell, Chicago; John Lambert, Chi cago; Julius S. Walsh, St. Louis. The following directors were dropped: William Kdborn, I. L. Elwood, James Hopkins, Alfred Clifford and Max Pam. George Gould and Edwin Gould sup plant William Edborn and I. L. Elwood, whose resignations, it is said, were re Quested. John W. Gates of Chicago, part owner of the road, said: "My interests in the. Kansas City Southern are the same as they have always been. The Harriman Interests and mine are working in harmony and we have turned over the active manage ment of the property to railroad men. That is the purpose of the meeting to day. There have been some changes made In the board of directors and in the by-laws of the company. Mr. Knott will remain as president. He was the joint selection of Mr. Harriman and myself." "How will the road be operated?" was asked of Mr. Gates. "It will be operated In the interest of no individual road nor syndicate of roads, but for the best interest of the security holders." G3ILES OF MARCHERS. Sound Money Parade HoursPass ing the Reviewing Stand. New York, Nov. 3. In spite of a cold, drizzling rain, and muddy streets throughout the four and one-half miies of the line of march, the parade today arranged by the Business Men's Repub lican Sound Money association and re viewed by Governor Theodore Roose velt, the Republican candidate for vice president, was a remarkable demonstra tion. The march was begun shortly be fore 10 o'clock when Mr. Roosevelt, sur rounded by a large escort, started up Broadway in an open barouche. In every block he was cheered by crowds that lined both sides of the street, and time after time he was compelled to rise in his carriage to respond to the salutes of those who lined the route of march. At Madison square where he took his place in the reviewing stand, he was given an enthusiastic reception, although the people were somewhat fewer in number than had been expected, owing doubtless to the bad weather. The first series of clubs to pass the stand were those organized in the dry goods trade and they were followed quickly by representatives of every other line of trade in the city. Although it was estimated that from 10,000 to 12, 000 passed the stand each hour, many of the clubs had not even had a chance to form in line up to 3 p. m., and it was thought at that time that it would be well after dark before all could reach Madison square. A feature of the parade that attracted much attention and cheering along the route was the advance guard of the Coal Trade Sound Money club. This was com posed of a hundred miners with lighted lamps in their caps, face-begrimed, and carry ing miners picks over their should ers. "The rain can't dampen their enthu siasm," remarked Senator Scott to Gov ernor Roosevelt. "Mr. Croker say3 they have Bryan in their hearts, but they dis semble their feelings." said the governor, laughing. The sound money club of the Building Material exchange, the Rail way and Steamship Sound Money club and the paper and associated trades marched in fine form and overwhelmed the governor with applause and cheering assurances that he was "all right." A band that headed a division of the last named organization played "There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" as it passed the stand. The governor cheered the band and kept time to the tune with his right hand, as though he was leading the music. In answer to a question whether the air did not remind him of Cuba, he said, "Well, I should think so. Some one has called that air the 'battle hymn of the trenches.' At 3 o'clock it was estimated that 50. 000 men had passed the reviewing stand. Line after line cheered Governor Roose velt and he was kept standing constant ly bareheaded in the rain acknowedging the salutes of the marchers. The marchers paid no attention what ever to the various Democratic banners and motto bearing streamers along the route. They passed under them without seeming to notice that they were there. TRUST CLOSES A FACTORY. Kenosha, Wis., Is to Lose Its Prosper ous Bicycle Industry. Kenosha, Wis., Nov. 3. It is reported that the bicycle trust intends to close its factory in this city the old Sterling plant. F. W. Barnes severs his connection with the American Bicycle company, and in his place will come Mr. Atkinson, secretary of the trust. It is said that Mr. Atkinson comes here instructed to re duce the expenses of the factory to a minimum and to close it up within the course of a few weeks. FOR A CATHOLIC COLLEGE. Bishop Janssen to Establish Boys' In stitution Near Lebanon, 111. Lebanon, 111., Nov. 3. Bishop J. J Janssen of the Belleville Catholic diocese has purchased Glen-Addie.a magnificent country mansion ten miles southwest of here, and will establish there a new Catholic college for boys, which, he says, he will make the best of its kind in the central west. Glen-Addie consists of a large tract of land and a splendid man sion erected in J V by Colonel Morrison, a hero of the fciackhawk war, and is one of the finest country places in the state. Immigrant Inspector Resigns. San Francisco, Nov. 3. A. H. Geff erey. United States immigrant inspector at this port, has tendered his resigna tion. Pending its acceptance or rejec tion, an Investigation which had been begun into Gefferey's connection with the attempted illegal landing of three Japanese women will be suspended. Crops Burned Up in Siberia. St. Petersburg, Nov.3. Official reports show the grain has been completely burned up by the drought in portions of Siberia, The fields have not been har vested and are used for pasturage. The price of grain at Seruipolatisak is over one rouble per pood. All druggists sell a "growler" for 5 cents The new hand-made cigar. ROOSEVELT'S TASK ENDS finishes His Remarkable Cam paign at Owego. Has Broken All Records But That of Bryan. MADE 673 SPEECHES Visited Twenty-four States In Eight Weeks Traveled 21,209 Miles and Stopped In 567 Towns. Owego, N. Y., Nov. 3. Governor Roosevelt completed last night at this point one of the most remarkable cam paigns ever made by a candidate of any party in the United States. In eight weeks he has visited twenty-four states of the union, made 673 speeches, traveled 21,209 miles, visited 567 towns and cities and talked to what is estimated to be three million people. This record in cludes more speeches, more miles trav eled and more territory covered than that of all the other candidates for president or for vice president of all the other parties for the last 100 years, with the exception of the record made by William J. Bryan in 1896. This wonderful campaign was finished by a two weeks' tour of the state of New York during which the candidate traveled 2.250 miles, through thirty seven counties and made 120 speeches, the majority of them from the rear platform of the train. Mr. Roosevelt finished this tour in excellent health and good spirits, and as he said "with a slightly weakened voice, but able to go on with the campaign a couple of weeks or more." The last day" of this campaign in cluded eight stops between Jamestown, in Chautauqua county, and inclusive of Owego, in Tioga county. The stops today varied from two hours in duration at Olean to ten minutes at other points. He finished at Owego, the home of Senator Piatt. Among the things which Governor Roosevelt said in Owego, Hornellsville, Wellsville, and Addison, the last four places on the day's tour, were these: "Mr. Bryan is now Inclined to laugh at the argument of the full dinner pail. Nobody laughed about it four years' ago. It is a mighty sight easier to laugh about it when it is full than when it is empty. Whe it is empty it is serious business. If this nation chooses to turn bedlamite and put in Mr. Bryan and try his policies we have nobody but our selves to thank for the disaster that will surely follow. It won't do any good to say that we meant well that we did not meant to hurt ourselves. What I am saying applies just as much to Demo crats as to Republicans. It is to the interest of all of us to have prosperity, to have good times. The only chance Mr. Bryan has is in that queer forget fulness of people when they are well off. When a man is well off, he is very apt to be willing to take chances. When he is badly off then he is more careful. It is now four years since we were badly off, and some people forget. Four years ago neither Mr. Bryan nor any one else would have dared to sneer at the full dinner pail and say it did not mean much because then the dinner pail was not full, and it means a great deal to every one of us when the dinner pail Is empty. Mr. Bryan says we have no right in the Philippines without the consent of the governed. Jefferson Davis Eaid it was a violation of the Declaration of Independence to come down and oppose them without the consent of the gov erned from trying to get out of the union and own slaves. He said you could not oppose them, but some of you here did it. "Now Mr. Bryan upholds the Decla ration of Independence as applying to the Malay banditti who are shooting at our men on the other side of the earth, but denies it to his fellow Americans of duskier skin in North Carolina There are two important issues in this campaign. Our opponents want to Bi'yanize the nation and Crokertze the state." "They can't do it," came an interrup tion. "No," continued the governor, "they can't do it. Because our people are not prepared to see the level of the state government brought down to the level of the Tammany government of New York city. I appeal to every Democrat who believes in honesty and decency in politics to stand with us and avert such a calamity. I ask you to compare the state administration, department by de partment from the top to the bottom, put each in comparison with their gov ernment of the city of New York, with its blackmailed vice and crime, its in difference to the demands of the people; make that comparison and you can not help resolving that no change to Tam many shall be made In this state. I ask your support for the re-election of Mc Kinley and the election of Mr. Odell, not on party grounds for I feel this is far more than a mere party contest, but because I believe we have a right to ap peal to good citizenship to the princi ples of decent government and challenge the aid of all men who have the honor Of IPg2MQ JaifoosJ That is what Is required by every organ of the body, for the proper per formance of its functions.

Many things may cause deafness,, and very often it is difficult to trace a cause. Some people innerit deafness. Acute di seases like scarlet fever sometimes cause deafness. But by far the most common cause of loss of hearing is catarrh of the head and throat. A prominent specialist on ear troubles gives as his opinion that nine out of ten cases of deafness is traced to throat trouble; this is probably overstated, but it is certainly true that more than half of all cases of poor hearing were caused by catarrh. The catarrhal secretion in the nose and throat finds its way into the Eusta chian tube and by clogging it up very soon affects the hearing and the harden ing of the secretion makes the loss of hearing permanent, unless the catarrh which caused the trouble is cured. Those who are hard of hearing may think this a little far-fetched, but any one at all observant must have noticed how a hard cold in the head will affect the hearing and that catarrh if long neglected will certainly impair the sense of hearing and ultimately cause deaf ness. If the nose and throat are kept clear and free from the unhealthy secretion of catarrh, the hearing will at once greatly improve and any one suffering from deafness and catarrh can satisfy themselves on this point by using a 60 cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new catarrh cure, which in the past year has won the approval of thousands of catarrh sufferers as well as physicians, because it is in convenient form to use, contains no cocaine or opiate and is as safe and pleasant for children aa for their elders. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a whole some combination of Blood root, Guaia col, Eucalyptol and similar antiseptics, and they cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness by action upon the blood and mucoua membrane of the nose and throat. As one physician aptly expresses it: "You do not have to draw upon the imagination to discover whether you are getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; improvement and relief are ap parent from the first tablet taken. All druggists sell and recommend them. They cost but BO cents for full sized package and any catarrh sufferer who has wasted time and money on sprays, salves and powders will appre ciate to the full the merit of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. and welfare of the nation at heart. All our promises have been made good. "The prophecies that Mr. Bryan made have been signally falsified. Here in this town compare the wage list and the number of men employed by the railway with four years ago. The reason the railway business has increased Js be cause the country has prospered. More freight is carried because there is more business and more men employed. Mr. Bryan says find out how your employer votes and then vote the other way. No American citizen has a rig'ht to cast his vote save on the ground of principle and not to vote one way because some other man votes another. Mr. Bryan asks you to stultify yourself and be false to your duties as a citizen." As if in appreciation of the closing of the campaign the governor said: "There really is not very much to say now in the closing days of the campaign. People have pretty much made up their minds, and I think that we are going to give in this state the second largest ma jority it has ever given." "That's right; that's right," shouted a number in the audience. "But," continued the governor, "I do not want any man to make the mistake of taking anything for granted. .We want not merely to whip Bryanism, but to crush it under our heels. "I ask you to stand by the party that succeeds and not the party that fails: for the party that makes financial poli cies that work and not the party that advocates financial policies that won't work; for the party that fought to a finish this Spanish war and hoisted the flag in the Philippines and not the par ty that grumbled about how the war was fought and now wants to haul down the flag in the Philippines." Just as the train was pulling out of Waverly occurred the only hostility of the day. A stone was thrown, breaking; the glass door in the observation win dow of the governor's car. DUN'S REVIEW. Trade Quiet Now Awaiting Election Results. New York, Nov. 3 R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The period of suspense is nearly over. Business has been longing for a free field in which to leap forward, but buy ing is restricted largely to wants for immediate consumption. Some evidence appears of willingness to take specula tive chances in the movement of a few standard goods,notably of iron and steel. The actual resumption of operations in the anthracite coal fields has added largely to the working force and closing down of a few small steel plants is only in the nature of concentraUng opera tions at more advantageous points, and has not much reduced the number of men employed. The weather- in some sections has favored business, but at New York it has been unseasonable, ac counting for much of the loss of 15.3 per cent in bank clearings here as compar ed with last year, though the week shows a gain of 20.3 per cent over 1S9S. Encouraging signs multiply in the iron industry. Strength in Bessemer and grey forge at Pittsburg show that the recent increase in activity of finished forms has at last affected the market for raw material. Improvement in do mestic buying of pig is the more notice able because "of decrease in exports. Structural shapes continue in urgent re quest. Plates are advancing with ac tive demand from ship builders and with talk of a pool to sustain the price. Bar iron would sell readily at former prices, but holders grow stubborn. Re ports are current that American con cerns have contracted for machine shops in Bremen and numerous bridges abroad including some in Africa. Billets at Philadelphia cost $20, which does not look like reduction in steel rails. Buy ers in these lines decided not to wait for election to place contracts. Full forces are employed at New Eng land shoe shops and heavy orders in sure brisk work for the rest of the year. Prices have not advanced for the fin ished articles with leather and hides. Textile operations are more vigorous, sales of wool at the three chief eastern markets exceeding all recent records, with a total of 7,804,500 pounds. This is largely for prompt consumption, and consequently makes poor comparison with the same week last year when un precedented speculation made the total 2,386.700 pounds, with many large transactions missed in the excitement of the Boston market. With the greater activity there appears a tendency toward firmer prices, and 100 grades on November 1, averaged 19.55 cents, ac cording to Coates Brothers of Philadelphia-Cotton has received a little of the re cent sharp decline, attributed to reports that frost would surely do serious dam age. The market does not show much fear of disaster and there is more reason to believe that the '.slight advance was in- dueed by better purchases of spinners, i who were attracted by tne tall or c.o a bale in less than three weeks. There wa3 also some recovery In wheat, started by the statement that Argentine would not bf able to export freely this year because of the injury to the growing crop. Corn did not join the advance to any extent and provisions were generally quiet, except for a corner in October pork, which com pelled traders on the short side to re covery contracts at $20, when the month ended. Small concessions are made by importers of raw sugar. Failures for the week were 198 in the United States, arainst 183 last year, and 23 in Canada, against 25 last year. BOERS AltE ACTIVE. Lord Roberts Reports Eight Fights on November 2. London, Nov. 3 Lord Roberts in a dis patch from Johannesburg.dated Novem ber 2, reports no less than eight fights at different points, all unimportant but significant of the activity of the Boers. General Kitchener, after a night march, surprised Schoeman's laager at Steenkampsberg, and then pushed on to Schalk-Burgher's laager at Rooikranz. But, the British were prevented from following up the Boers, who trekkea north. Prisoners in the hands' of the British say the Boer losses in the fight with General Barton, October 25, were 140 killed, wounded or missing. ELECTION WEATHER. Mr. Moore Sends Out a Preliminary forecast. Washington, Nov. 3. Willis L. Moore, of the weather bureau, makes the follow ing statement to the Associated Press regarding the weather on election day: "The fall rains have now set in, and therefore it is reasonable to expect that a considerable area on election day will have foul weather. Exactly which states will be affected, however, we will not be able to determine before Sunday night, but we do not expect that both the New York and Ohio valleys will get fair weather at the same time." Prof. Moore explains that this is simply his opinion at long range, and might be modified by conditions that may develop before tomorrow night. HEARD HIS FUNERAL DIRGE March. Flayed at Obsequies Indiana Man Approved In Life. Terre Haute. Ind., Nov. 3. H. H. Boudi not, general tire inspector for the city of Terre Haute and a most prominent citi zen, who died Tuesday, was buried today with unusual rites. Two years ago Mr. Boudinot engaged Professor Breinig of the Ringgold band to compose for him a fun eral dirge. When the composition was ready he gave a reception to the band two years ago and had the dirge played at his residence. He paid 25 for the composi tion and had a contract signed that the piece was not to be given until the day of his funeral. The contract was com pleted today. The composition was a rearrangement of "The Heart Bowed Down," taken from "The Bohemian Girl." Fire at Liverpool Docks. Liverpool. Nov. 3.

Provision had been made for Mr. Abbott to come to Topeka to the Stor mont hospital for treatment, but he did not come, and It is now expected he will recover within two or three days.

Investigation Reveals a Few Errors and Nothing Ho re. FLSISn WORK TODAY. Thorough Canvass of the Books "early Completed. Mr. Alexander Says Did Sot Expect to Find Fraud. The managers of the Investigation concerning the legality cf Topeka's registration for this election are today insisting- that the work is not being- done for the purpose of detecting- fraud but that the effort is for the purpose of "correcting- whatever errors, may cave crept into the work." While this is the theory advanced by those directly in charge of the canvass which, is being made, the candidates interested regard it as a search for fraud. John Martin, the independent and fusion nominee; tjx district judge, said tnis morning: "I am not conversant with the facts in this matter and know nothing- about it. I do not know whether fraud has been perpetrated, but I presume this election is no exception to the rule. There is always some fraud connected with every election." The twenty-five canvassers who ara g-oini? from house to house to confirm the registration as recorded ty the com missioner of elections worked until late last nisrht and were out early this morn-ins?-. They will be busy ail day today and the majority of them wUl count themselves fortunate if the work in their han is be completed before late this evening. This morning John F. Carter. Sam Jones. John Branner, J. F. Metty. Mr. EL Alexander, father of C H. Alexander, and J. F. Shepherd, who two years ago was employed by the Republican .state committee at headquarters, were in the office- of Isenhart and Alexander taking an interest in the work for the can vassers. Thse men were handling? the slips of paper on which were written the names of the voters, preparatory to making a canvass in their respective localities. The managers of the canvass today seem anxious to convey the impression that they are not casting aspersions against the commissioner of elections and the work which, he did in the regis tration of voters for this election which began the 1st of last January. "We do not insinuate," said C. H. Alexander, -that fraud has been per petrated in this registration. The work which we are doing is for the purpose of correcting erorr3 which might have crept in but not due to the authorities which have had charge of the registra tion. "Men might have given the number of their houses and it might have been un derstood incorrectly and so recorded. Then such a city aa this contains a iarge migratory set of people. Men entitled to vote last spring- might have moved to some other town and their names still appear on the registration books here. "There are many ways in which errors might have been caused and to discover such errors and to insure a fair election for ail parties we have taken the pains to investigate." The managers of thia canvass report that some house numbers which appear on the registration books can not be found. Other instances where men have given their residences, no such persons reside. It was explained by Mr. Alexander that "these errors might be due to re movals from one part of the ward or city to another part. Unaccounted voters, in some precincts, have been discovered in others, so the whole affair may check out correctly." While this committee hopes to com plete the returns made by the canvas sers tonight, it is extremely doubtful if the final result will be known before tomorrow. Judging from the attitude and de meanor of the men who are conducting the investigations, yesterday's high hopes of extensive frauds have dwin dled today to tne correction of simple errors, the responsibility for which has not yet been placed upon any individual or party. OUR SEW 5AYY. Tiurty-Two Vessel of 151,600 Tons Displacement. New York, Nov. 3. As finally adopted, says a Washington special to the Tri bune, the United States naval increase programme for 1301 involves the con struction of thirty-two vessels of 151.600" tons displacement, or more than double that laid down In any preceding year. The list which congress is to be askd to authorize is: Three 15.000 too battle ships, two 15.000 ton armored cruisers. six i.OOi) ton gunboats, six SOD ton gun boats, ten 210 ton guboats, three 15.0i torn colliers, one 7.0x ton repair" ship, and one 7.000 ton marine transport. The board of construction, has de cided toj omit the torpedo boats, both surface and submarine, reooenrnended by the poiicy board of which. Admiral Dewey is chairman, but the programme in all othr particulars conforms closely to the initial project under discussion a week ago. The programme makers have con fined their project to ships f .-i offense, for police and for cava! auxiliary pur poses by the new conditions impusei upon the navy by the increasing import ance of American interests in the far east. The five fighting ships prcpod are more formidable than any of the same category yet designed. With the sev enteen now building or authorized, and with the six battleships and two ar mored cruisers already in commission, they will give an offensive force of thirty ships. The twenty-two gunboats are InteruJ I for police duty, principally in the Philippine although adapted for serv ice in China. The 2u0 ton gunboats will be the smallest war vessels, except tor pedo boats, ever built for the United La to fam cbr.rfnr. mad home csa be completely PY witisout t&enz. yet til rdeaU tJu-ougS whlcb tb T9tast mother must lauat n Li WisJaVi Mi States navy, bat they -will be of the size recommended by all officers of ex perience in the Phtlppines a essential to preserving order among the small islands, of the archipelago. The three colliers are djesigned to de liver em a single voyage from Norfolk 10.060 tons of coal at Manila, Guam, Pagr Pago, or Hawaii They are also to have sufficient speed to enable them to accompany a fleet of battleships on a long cruise. They are to be equipped with automatic loading and unloading apparatus to secure greater economy of time, and if necessary would be quick ly converted into cable Iaytntr ships for use on the Pacific ocean. The reonir vessel Vulcan i3 to be kept in the Phil ippines and ia virtually to bit a. cruising navy yard. The proposed maritime transport is to be like the Solace, bat half again as large and armed with light guna. She is needed by the marine corps, which now has 6,000 men dependent on the Solace or on army ships for transpor tation. The new vessel is to have ac commodations fos two battalions and to have high speed for the purpose of mov ing a force quickly to any scene of dis turbance in the east, her headquarters being- at Manila. A DEBS PARADE Men and Women March Side by Side in New York. New York, Nov. 3. One of the most picturesque demonstrations of the pres ent campaign was a social Democratic party parade last niht in which over 5,000 men and women marched, prelim inary to a meeting in Madison Square. Men and women, marching side by side, alternately sans the MarseiUaiae and chanted: "Vote for Freedom. Vote for Debs." Picturesque floats and unique arrange ments made the parade almost spec tacular in effect. The red flag- of social ism predominated in the parade, and every marcher wore a red ribbon badge. As the parade reached the Square each one of the bands began to play the Marseillaise. In the ranks which num bered several trades organizations, marched many women, who cheered for the candidates cf the party. The one float which attracted attention was "liberty Enlightening the World." On this was a young woman posing as Lib erty, with children dressed as Indians, Chinese and other nationalities. Another floac was that of the Dra matic Society of Socialists. This repre sented a mining scene. Painted scenery showed the entrance to a mining shaft and miners with lighted lamps on their caps were congregated on the float. The float which seemed to satisfy the paraders best wis that which represent ed a stockade in w-hich were working men cowering before the bayonets of soldiers. This was supposed to repre sent the Coeur d'Alene mining troubles. Numerous banners and transparencies were carried. Some of the sentiments were "Labor Is the Producer of All Wealth Idle Capitalists Own It;" "Pros perity! Have You Any? Give us Some." Those who spoke at the meeting were Max 3. Hayes and N". P. Oiger. of Cleve land. Ohio: J. Mayton Barnes, of Phil adelphia, and Benjamin Hanford, the candidate for governor. A TKACE OF SCHEEIBEB. Defaulting Bank Cashier Seen in Cuba. New York. Nov. 3.

Cuba, on October 11, and left on the ITrh for Mar.zarilio.

He had expected the affair to be patched up. and, finding that it could not be. his attorneys had advised him to go to Cuba. He ws bordering on nervous prostration. and would come down stairs at midnight and pace the floor. He finally told one of the guests who had gained his confidence, that detectives would be on the steamer Saratoga, which left New York October its.

New York, Nov. 3. la the ten months ending October 31, the metal mining companies in this country reporting to the Engineering and Mining Journal paid a total of S42,56S.0T1 in dividends. "This is an excellent showing." says the Journal, "of the returns received by cap ital invested in the metal mining indus try. "During these ten months the largest dividend payers were the copper compa nies; of those of Montana, the Amalga mated Copper company, which controls the Anaconda and Parrott companies and a large interest in. other companies, declared $1,000,000. or 8 per cent on its capitalization. The Anaconda Copper company is credited wito paying S-t.suO,-000. or IS per cent on its capital stock; theBoston and Montana company S-tii).-000, or 113 per cent, and tke Parrott com pany Sl,373,10O, or 60 per cent on its is sued capital stock. The Amalgamated t.opper company's dividend, however is really a duplication, as it worka no mines directly, and its dividend fund is derived from the stocks of other compa nies wnii.-n tt noias. or the Michigan Copper company's Calumet and Kecia paid in the ten months S3.000.000, or Z'jO per cent on its capitalization: .Qulncv SSOO.Ono, or "6 per cent, and Tamarack 1420, 0'H), or 2S per cent. In California the Mountain Copper company paid Sl.HOi 000 or 19.2 per cent on its share capital. in Arizona the united Verde ex-Sent! tor Clark s property) is credited with paying $1. 650.000. or 55 per cent on its capita stoctc. ana tee Arizona company S3.

In tnis group the leaders were Stratton's Inde pendence, limited, of Colorado, with Si,- sa.jji. or jj.s per cent on its issued cap ital stock, and Portland, S75O.00O, or 25 per cent, in feouth. Dakota the Home stake Gold Mining company is foremost with $1,050,000, or 5 per cent on its share capital In Utah the Silver King com pany paid S750.0O0, or 25 per cent on its capitalization, and the Daly-West com pany S41'.;i0, or 13.7 per cent. In Alaska tne Aiaska-Treadwell Gold Mining com pany paid out $300,000, or S per cent on its capital stock. In Arizona the La t ortuna Ijold. Mining company leads with $232.34)0, or S3 per cent on its capi talization, and in California we have the Yellow Aster company with $130,000. or 13 per cent.

Of tire ieaa ana zinc mining companies in Missouri and Kansas, the St. Joseph Lead company leads with $112,500. or 4 5 percent on its issued share capiral.There nave aiso Deen numerous smaller divi pend payers, especially in the gold and silver mining industry, while in the lead and zinc section the number has grown less, owing in part to the end of the speculative bubble which favored the in corporation of companies that promised, and in some instances, paid 1 per cent monthly dividends. "The dividend disbursements mention ed above do not include those made by the coal and iron mines, oil comranies and the metal smelting and refining companies, which have been enormous in the past ten months. There are also many private corporations that do riot report their dividends, and these, if ad ded, would bring the grand total paid to stockholders in dividends to a very large amount, unequalled probably by any other industry in this country."

0 TOPETIA STATE JOURNAL., BATUKDAY EVENTNTG, NOVEMBER 3, 1900. FUSIONHGURES. Democratic State Committee Claims Plurality of 16,000. Also Claims aSmall Majority Iu the Legislature. THOSE WHO HAVE LEFT ?Ir. Locke Says Accessions Will More Thau Offset Desertions. Expects Heaviest Gain Among the Workingmen. Chairman George P. Locke, of the Democratic state executive committee, who had an active part in the fusion campaign, g-ave out the following final statement of the political conditions to--day: "We will carry Kansas for Bryan be yond any doubt. "Tpe state ticket is absolutely safe, and we will have a majority of 17 in the legislature on joint ballot. "I am aware that the Republicans are claiming the state, but I know it is a bluff, pure and simple, made for the purpose of catching the wavering vote. While we have attended to ouf cam paign without saying much, there never has been a time since harmonious fusion was effected, and a strong ticket nomi nated at Fort Scott, that Republican success was logical I might say, pos sible. It seems to me that everybody that appreciates the value of harmonious fusion would know this. I predict a fusion majority of 16,0ti0 next Tuesday it may reach 20,000. "The state committee has never claimed that some of Bryan's supporters in 1S98 have not gone to McKiniey; it makes no such claim now. All we claim is that had we not made a gain of a single vote, Kansas would still be for Bryan by a safe majority. I will say now, and am willing to await the outcome for my proof, that Bryan has gained four votes in Kansas for every one he has lost. "Look at the other conditions. The organization of the fusion forces of the etate is incomparably better than it has ever been before. We have as strong a ftate ticket as has ever been nominated In Kansas. Every candidate has an individuality, an identity and a reputation for fitness that is known beyond the limits of the state. They were nominated and placed before the people at one of the most harmonious and enthusiastic conventions ever held on Kansas soil. They have individually made a strong and an exceptionally de cent campaign. "On the other hand, the Republican party is honeycombed with factional pores and ulcers. There is a Republi can fight of one kind or another in over SO counties. "While we can figure out. a Bryan ma jority without a gain of a single vote, yet it is a well known fact, apparent to every student of the situation, that we will make tremendous accessions to our party strength next Tuesday. We are absolutely sure of 5,000 Gold Demo crats who left us four years ago. Seventy-five per cent, of the German citi s;ns of Kansas will vote for Bryan, by reason of the tendency of the adminis tration toward a policy of imperialism and militarism, to say nothing of our government's cold attitude toward the struggling South African republics. We will make appreciable gains among old soldiers who have become dissatisfied with the pension policy of the adminis tration and the growing indifference of the Republican party to the interest of the veterans. We will make some gains among the negroes. Our heaviest gains will be among the workingmen. "It is my opinion that the political fiction of laboring men, skilled and un skilled, next Tuesday will be a reve lation to statesmen. Every man of them seems to realize that while their wages have not been reduced on the pay roll, they have been materially diminished in capacity to buy the nec essaries of life made higher by the ex tortion cf trusts. In fact, every human being in Kansas is effected by trusts. They do not believe this year that the election of Bryan will be equivalent to the losing of their jobs. Labor also ap preciates the stand taken by the Dem ocratic party in the national convention In the insertion of a plank demanding the creation of a cabinet office in the interest of labor. The railroad men are overwhelmingly for us, because they liave been made to pay more for every thing they buy without having received additional income. "The business men are and ought to be for the Democratic ticket. The business system brought about by the development of trusts makes the future dark for all small business men, and I am sure that they so understand it. They have not been saying much, but ve know at headquarters that they will be a tremendous influence at the election next Tuesday. In -addition, we have a great many Republicans with us this year because they do not believe in the policy of militarism and imperialism udopted and encouraged by the Repub lican party. "We know absolutely that we will carry Kansas next Tuesday, and we have a great many reasons to believe that there will be a landslids in favor ef the fusion forces." WILL BE NO WAR. South. American Differences to Be Settled Peacefully. New York, Nov. 3. A dispatch to the Herald from Buenos Ay res says: Pres ident Campos Salles of Brazil and other Brazilian officials who have been guests of the republic of Argentina, have de parted for Rio Janeiro. President Roca accompanied Presi dent Salles on board the steamship Rischuelo. Both expressed the hope that this visit will fortify the friendship between the two countries. The Trlbuna, organ of President Roca, Bays: "Now after the new impulse given to the idea of fortifying the peace of Fouth America by a conceit of opinions of Argentina and Brazil, we can look with serenity at any attempt to dis turb the peace of the Pacific slope. We are able to give assurance that Chili, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argen tina will join together and settle the questions- pending between Chili, Peru and Bolivia, without war or humiliation to any party concerned." This utterance is taken as an- Indica tion that the long pending dispute over the provinces of Taena and Arica will be ended soon. Chili holds the provinces but probably will make such coneessionB as will satisfy Peru and Bolivia. Dispatches from Villa Conoepcioti, Paraguay, announce that several cases of the plague have been found there. No one would evsr be bothered with constipation if everyone knew how nat urally and quickly Burdock Blood Bit tr rtgtiiata the stomach and bowels. MAJ. BROWN SPEAKS. Colored Orator Addresses Small Audience at Auditorium Major John M. Brown spoke at the Fusion rally at the Auditorium last night. Those who were there would have been glad had the engineers been testing the steam plant. Th room was as cold aa a barn. Not a large crowd was out to hear Ma jor Brown. A State Journal reporter counted the audience and found 453 in the hall of which about 75 were colored people. Mr. Brown directed his remarks at a few old colored men who had passed through slavery times, and who eat in the front row. A man sat in the front row with his head thrown back so that he could get a view of the speaker, and with his mouth open. In his lap he had a dog. Not a pet pug dog. but waterspaniel. Every time the audience cheered the dog would join in and by barking would help out with the demonstration. Major Brown explained the small au dience by saying that the opposition was holding meetings in every ward of the city and that they were out with music and the people followed the music "We have not the music but can rest assured that we have the right principles." said Major Brown. "The time is nearly tip when the Is sues for the next four years will be set tled. I have been asked why I changed my politics. I did so because I think the Republican party is a friend to the negro only at election time." The major dwelt upon the disfran chisement of the negro. He said: "The state of Mississippi was the first in which the privilege of the negroes was abridged. This was brought about by property qualifications. The law was made to read that the voter was requir ed to be able to read, understand and ex plain the constitution of the state. Also that they would have to pay a tax of J3 for school purposes. This knocked out hundreds of the colored voters. "Now the Republicans have had four years since they have been in power and have done nothing to remedy the situa tion. They have had the power but have never acted and they never will do any thing in this direction. "We must not vote for the Republi cans for past favors. If we ever owed anything to the Republican party for freeing the slaves, that debt has been canceled long ago. They certainly can not expect to keep us paying that debt forever. If the Republicans poll the colored vote from now on they will have to work hard for it." Major Brown went over the Philip pine question and the Cuban question again. He declared that "it was not the intention of the Republican party lead ers to free Cuba, if it was the idea of the majority of the followers of the party." He says that by fraudulent votes the tools of the party leaders will be elected in Cuba in the coming elec tion, and "the Cuban will be in slavery just a3 sure as they were under the Spanish rule." And he says "they will rebel and fight for their liberty just as the people in the Philippines are doing now." "No one who ever went to Cuba to fight to help free them from the op pression they suffered under the Span ish rule will vote for th Republican ticket if they understand the situation properly. Wrhen McKinley's name is mentioned among the Cubans in Cuba a frown and a scowl passes over the faces of the men, and when Bryan's name is mentioned they yell. They know what is in store for" them as the outcome of this election. If Bryan is elected to the presidency of these United States next Tuesday, the Cubans will be set free. And I will be proud to have the honor to help in that work by voting for Mr. Bryan next Tues day." Major Brown showed where the Dem ocratic and Populist parties had done more for the fiegro by electing him to public offices within the past few yesi"s than the Republicans had done for him during the past forty years. Following Major Brown, ex-Governor Gliek, who was in the audience, spoke for a few minutes. He said: "Since hearing Major Brown here this evening I have heard more common sense in a dozen of his sentences than I have heard from all the Republican orators I have listened to during the campaign." In speaking of the attempted disfran chisement of the colored man, he said: "I almost wish I were a negro so that I could defy them when they said to me 'You can't vote.' Mr. Glick touched lightly on the Phil ippine question, after which ha discussed the trusts. PLEADS FOR HIS MEN. Lord Roberts Doesn't Want Them Tempted to Drink. London, Nov. 3. Lord Roberta sends from Pretoria a striking appeal to his countrymen to refrain from turning the welcome of the home coming troops into a drunken orgy. He expresses the sin cere hope that the welcome will not take the form of treating to stimulants and "thus lead to excesses that will tend to degrade those whom the nation delights to honor and lower the soldiers of tne queen in the eyes of the world.which has watched with undisguised admiration the grand work they have performed for their sovereign and country." "I therefore beg earnestly," says Lord Roberts, "that the public will refrain from tempting mjfc gallant comrades, but will rather aid them to uphold the splendid reputation they have won for the imperial party. "I am very proud to be able to record with the most absolute truth that the conduct of this army from first to last has been exemplary. Not a single case of seriouscrime has been brought to my notice, inded nothing deserving the name of crime. I have trusted to the men's own soldierly feeling and good sense and they have borne themselves like heroes on the battlefield and like gentlemen on all other occasions. "The most malicious falsehoods were spread by the authorities of the Trans vaal of the brutality of Great Britain's soldiers, but the people were soon reas sured that they had nothing to fear from the man in khaki, no matter how battered and war utained his appear ance. "This testimony, concludes Lord Roberts, "I feel sure will be very grati fying to the people of Great Britain and of that greater Britain w-hose sons shared to the fullest extent the suffering as well as the glory of the war and who helped so materially to bring it to a successful close." Lord Roberts explains that he thus appeals because of the distressing and discreditable scenes resulting from in judicious friends speeding the parting soldiers by shoving bottles of spirits in to their hands and pockets.

Sixto Lopez, the Filipino, has written an open letter to Jacob G. Sehurman, president of Cor nell university and of the Philippine commission. The letter in part is as fol lows: "The report of the late commission, of which you were president, professes to deal, in addition to other matters, with education in the Philippines. "You represent that the Insurgent part which the Spanish authorities played in matters educational was the sum total of educational activity among the masses of our people. That this is a most unfair and inadequate represen. tac tion of the facts it will now be my pleas ure to prove. "In matters educational the Filipino record is creditable to a degree. During all the years of the Spanish regime, not withstanding monastic opposition and Spanish indifference, our system of edu cation flourished and increased. Uni versity extension and collegiate schools, the results solely of the Filipino activ ity, have spread throughout the archi pelago. The intense desire of our people for education, both in its elementary and higher forms, was known and feared even in Spain and has been admitted by A Swollen face, the characteristic epidemic symptom of Cold or Tic-doloureux Swelled Face. The doctors say this year that epi demic Grip has taken on a new phase, the first symptom being a puffing up of one side of the face, extending even to the closing of the eye, it is accompanied by neuralgic pains and by most of the old well known symptoms of Influenza, Catarrh, pains and soreness in the Head and Chest, Cough and Sore Throat, Gen eral Prostration and Fever.

"In most every branch of knowledge, in competitive examinations, the Fili pinos have shown themselves the su periors of the Spaniards. In all the learned professions, in science, in philos ophy, in theology, the most, prominent men are Filipinos. Notwithstanding the fact that the Filipino who came to Europe was immediately singled, out for the hatred and persecution of the monks many Filipinos sent their sons to the universities of Madrid, Paris and Ger many, where they distinguished them selves, especially in philosophy. "The latest addition to higher educa tion in the Philippines is due entirely to the energy and liberality of the Fili pinos. In July of this present year, amid the clash of arms and political strife, the Filipinos founded the Manila lyceum, with 41 teachers and professors, all of whom, with three exceptions, are pure Filipinos. Among .the subjects taught are Greek, Latin, English, French, Spanish, universal and commer cial geography and statistics, history, theology, philosophy, zoology, physics, chemistry, general science, drawing, etc. This institution owes its origin to SenorB Guerrere, Mendiola and Villamer, all of whom are pure Filipinos, two being Tag alogs, and one a Visayan, and the funds have been provided exclusively by Fili pinos." ADVOCATE IS SOLD. H. N. Gaines Buys It and Will Make It a Populist Paper. H. N. Gaines, state superintendent under the Lewelling administration, who recently sold the Salina Union, has pur chased and will next week assume con trol of the Farmers' Advocate, until this time the property of T. W. Harrison. Mr. Gaines has disclaimed any inten tion of starting a new daily paper to be the official fusion organ, but it is be lieved that such is his intention. This impression is due to the fact that Mr. Gaines is planning to equip an office with new presses and type-setting ma chines. He will print a Populist paper. DENVER MAY COME. Times Says Return Game is Practical ly Assured. It is possible that Washburn and Den ver may meet again before the season is over. The Washburn team and the Topeka rooters are anxious for a game on November 24 and it has been about decided that it will be played either at Topeka or Denver. The following is from the Denver Times: "It is practically settled that a return game will be played between the D. A. C. uf Denv ;r and Washburn college. A side bet of $2,000 will probably go with the match. The D. A. C. team would like to play in Denver, but will go to Topeka if necessary. It is probable that the game will not be pulled off until af ter Thanksgiving. "The D. A. C. team will be somewhat weakened for tomorrow's game against the Wyoming university. Neither Er win Lewis nor William Urlau, tackles, will be in the game. Urlau has not been able to be out this week, and the thumb of Lewis' right hand was hurt last Sat urday so that he will not play until the D. W. C. game. Left End Rothwell may also be on the side lines, as the little finger of his left hand was broken in Saturday's game with Washburn. The absence of the three injured men leaves the eleven a little short of men. The Athletic club players are certain, in spite of all drawbacks, that Coach Mc Murray's players will not be able to score. The betting at the pool rooms is all on the score or no score propositions. Coach McMurray is so confident, how ever, that the D. A. C. backers are won dering whether it will be another case like that of Washburn. The kick-off will be at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon." WILL MAKE ARRESTS. Watcn to Be Kept For Fraudulent Voters. Any person or persons attempting to vote in the city next Tuesday without being legally entitled to such vote will be prosecuted by the managers of the house to house canvass being now made. While no specific instances of padded or fraudulent registration have been made public by the committee, C. H. Alexander this afternoon made the fol lowing statement: "We have not at any time and do not charge fraud, and did not intend that such an impression should go .abroad, but it was thought necessary to make a complete check of the city, so that on election day it would be known posit ively just exactly where every vote ought to be polled from. Therefore a complete check is being made of the city and by this evening every voter in the city will be checked and it will be known just exactly where every vote in the city of Topeka is located. "Of course in making this1 check we have run'on to many changes, and are unable to find persons answering to a great many of the names that have been registered, but this is probably for the reason that they registered for the spring election and have left the city. We have found some registration from vacant lots, but we presume this Is a mistake in noting the address of the party when he appeared for registration. We have also found registration from houses that the parties now living there claim that no such person has lived there for the several years that they have occupied the house. But this Is probably for the reason that a mistake was made in noting the address of the person, when registered. "We have also found that a few peo ple not residing in the city have reg istered as being in the city, and these parties will properly vote in the town ship. This probably Is caused by the changes of the boundaries of the city and by their belief that they are now in the city and thereby entitled to vote, "The changes and errors in registra tion amount to several hundred names in the city and the check we are making is solely for the purpose of correcting any of these errors. "I will also say that every name cot found as registered win be listed for the different polling precincts and a careful watch kept over the same. "If there should be an attempt at fraudulent votes the person so attempt ing to cast such vote will find that it is far easier to get into jail than to get his VOte CELSt "In other words, we propose to see that only such votes are cast as are en titled to be east and full measures are being taken to see that the expression of the voters of this county is fully earned out." Coddington Would Back Out Friday J. D. Coddington made a wager of $35 with E. H. White that McKiniey will have more electoral votes this year than he had four years ago. The money was put in the hands of J. T. Shafer. Today Mr. Coddington went to the staEe holder and demanded his money. The stakeholder refused to turn it over. BOCK ISLAND WRECK. Conductor Tucker Hurt In Col lision of Passenger Trains. Two Rock Island passenger trains on the Belleville branch crashed together headon at Wabaunsee, at 1:50 o'clock this morning. The only person reported injured is Conductor G. E, Tucker, who was in charge of the west bound train. No. 15, and he not seriously. The fronts of both locomotives were completely wrecked. The west bound train was late leaving McFarland and was under orders to take the siding at Wabaunsee. The siding was partly occupied by other" trains. The accident occurred several train lengths beyond the far end of the switch, where No. 15 was to back in. No. 16, east bound, in charge of Conductor Nolan, had the right of way. No. 15 Is re ported to have been running at ten miles an hour, and No. 16 was running at reduced speed also, which circumstances avoided a more serious accident There were about fifteen passengers on the west bound train, with which the train leaving Topeka at 12:01 a. m. made connection. Fewer passengers were coming this way from the Omaha con nection, and all escaped with a shake up. FRAULEIN STOLLE HERE. Famous Woman Tells Bow Siie Be came a Lecturer. Fraulein Stolle who will give a series of lectures on the famous art galleries of Europe at the High School beginning next week arrived in Topeka today. Fraulein Stolle is an interesting con versationalist and attracts friends wher ever she goes. She came here from Bos ton and was completely tired out with the troubles of a long journey when a State Journal reporter called to see her. She was asked how she became in terested in this work. "I was from childhood," she said, "trained for an artist. After studying abroad my friends in the art clubs to which I belonged in Boston urged me to talk to them and tell of my work in the European cities which I had visited. From that time since I have been giving talks on art." Fraulein Stolle is a club woman. She has some very distinctive ideas in this line and says, "I think the club woman the most remarkable woman, of the age." OPIE READ'S SPEECH Will Be at the Grand Opera House Tonight Opie Read will conclude his campaign ing tour of Kansas and Colorado by speaking in the Grand opera house to night.

WHEAT Trade In wheat early today was of a small scalp ing nature, with prices somewhat irreg ular. December opened a shade lower at 73c to 73'4c, tsuched 73512C, declined to 73c, and then rallied to 73c. Support ing factors were the prospect of a de crease in the visible and moderate world's shipments, together with Liverpool cables, wnieh showed a decline about equal to that here yesterday. The weather was perfect for the movement. Local receipts were 120 cars, two of con tract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re ported 563 cars against 506 last week and 723 a year ago. A cable estimating an Argentine export able surplus of only 45 million bushe's was a help to the price.

WHEAT Pre-election uncertainty has been the handicap of the bulls in wheat The news has certainly favored holders, but a general desire, to les.-en and not increase market obligations until after next Tuesday has prevented the expression of a buying power that otherwise would be in strong evidence. This will be like the current of an ob structed river, all the more forceful when it does acquire a channel. Many in the trade who are very bullish on the situa tion and outlook have no wheat and will not take hold until after election. The neV factor in the outlook is the Argen tine, and the prospects for wheat In that country are admittedly much less fav orable than last year. Some reports are sensationally bad, with their harvest yet sixty days awav. In our winter wheat country insect iife Is again threatening sections that suffered last year and com plaints cover a wider area than a year ago. Receipts of wheat indicate less anx iety to move the grain, supplies are being eagerly absorbed in the central middle states. The southwest has practically the surplus wheat of the states, but this sur plus may differ from the widow's cruise of oil and Anally become exhausted by the demands made upon it. Importers are running as close to empty warehouses as they can, while the American farmer for the first time in a decade bids fair to take advantage of his position as the granary owner, and is not forcing his wheat on the market. Under these cir cumstances, the delay In the upward movement of wheat is going to Increase its rapidity. CORN A more friendly feeling is de veloping towards corn. The November option is in a better way to punish the shorts than was the October delivery. Re. ceipts of corn when the prices for cash corn Is considered, are nearly nothing. A full cent per bushel over November is bid for cash No. 2 corn and November is a strong 2c over December. These pre miums certainly should bring out what old corn is left in the country and the cash demand is strong enough to take much more corn than is coming. With this new crop of corn going Into the empty cribs, there will not be the ru-h to sell that usually foliowthe first fpell of cold weather. Growers also find in present hog and cattle prices that feeding will pay them much- better than selling corn. And this serves to make farmers less inclined to part with their corn. There is a big short interest in November ana December corn and this is likely to cover at higher prices. Thirty-eight cent corn is not dear, but cheap, at present rate of consumption. OATS Inactive but firm. The tendenev is towards hardening in price which will become more apparent as we get Into cold weather and stocks begin to show a decrease. Exports of oats continue fair. PROVISIONS Provisions have an un dertone of strength born of the strxmg relation supply bears to demand. Stocks of product are light, remarkably so. wh n the price of fats and lean meats is con sidered. Hogs are coming in freely, but they are not coming in fast enough to permit the packers to even keep their present stocks in their cellars. January product Is not high. There Is a larere short Interest in the pit and the lesson of October pork may serve to keep the January shorts from becoming too com placent or stubborn. The elements ot strength in provisions are marked and will doubtless advance prices. J. F. HARRIS. New York TJp-Town Gossip. Furnished by J. C. Goings Commission Company, members Chicago Board of Trade, Topeka, Kansas. New York, Nov. 8. Tne flurry in call money yesterday was engineered for no other purpose than to create a feeling of apprehension among holders of stocks. Up to the present time there has been no liquidation of consequence, a most un usual thing at the end of a presidential campaign. All efforts to force out long stocks having failed the money sharks were appealed to by the bears to help them and they responded by advancing money to 25 per cent. Bat the conspir acy did not work, a few timid holders let go of their stocks but some of these were bought on again after it was discovered that the making up of rates was a pre arranged affair, and did not reflect the actual condition of the money market. Another move of this kind will probably be made on Monday, but it will prove a dismal failure as that of yesterday. That the market is in a healthy condition has been forcibly demonstrated by the man ner in which it has thus far resisted the attempts of the bears to depress it. Four years ago Wall Street was thoroughly demoralized and the stock market was in a semi-panic condition, today there is no trace of uneasiness in any quarters. Everybody is satisfied that nothing whl happen next Tuesday to bring ruin upon the country. It is this widspread belie! in the success of the Republican part that induces people to hold their stocks and act as a barrier to bear operations. If the landslide on November 6 fh. uld fail to materialize there will be an awful rush on Wednesday morning to unload, of course such a contingency is nut given a moment's thoueht. but a surprise is pos sible. The very fact that political senti ment Is all one-sided and Wall street peo ple refuse to recognize Bryan as a factor leads the conservative element to prepare for an unpleasant surprise. Todav's bank statement ought to be a favorable one, very little money has gone Into the stock market this week and not a single transfer has been made through the sub-treasury to the Interior since la-t Friday. It will matter very l ttle whether the exhibit is favorable or otherwise, as the members of the exchange are so d'-ep-Iv Interested in the parade that thev will give no attention to anything e!e.

The composite cars In the Sixth street yard being equipped by Mr. Milton Player's force of workmen, with axle apparatus for electric lighting, -are now being sent to Chicago one at a time for the California limited. The council will hold the Republican county central committee responsible for the damage done to the chairs in the Auditorium on election night. Enthusi astic partisans are bound to jump on the chairs when the returns come their way. Yukon Frozen Over. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 3. The steamer Aberdeen arrived from Lynn canal last night with seventy passengers. Her Klondike passengers came up the river on the Ora. She left Dawson October 13, and the Ora. the last boat of the season, a. day later. She had a large crowd of passengers aboard. L. Wil liams, an Ora passenger, says the Yukon is doubtless now frozen over in many places. Coming across Queen Charlotte sound the Aberdeen got afoul of a sunken log and broke one of hei pro peller blades. The mishap lessened her speed a little, but caused no other in convenience. Police Are Baffled. Vancouver, B. C, Nov. 3. The 'Au stralian police have been baffled by the Bee Long murderers. Seven months ago the entire colony was startled by a series of murders which took place within one hundred miles of Sydney. Two well known desperadoes, Jimmy and Joe Governor, half-breeds, were the only ones of the murderers who escaped. Since then they have killed two officers and a woman. A proclamation, has been issued by the chief justice of New South Wales declaring the men to be outlaws, so that they may legally be shot down if it is found impossible to capture them alive. Jones is Not Crazy. New York, Nov. 3. Charles F. Jones, secretary-valet of the late Wm. Marsh Rice, and who was arrested on a charge of forgery and attempted to commit suicide in the Tombs by cutting his throat, passed a very comfortable night. The report -that Jones is mentally un balanced i3 denied at the hospital, and it is declared his mind Is as clear as ever. Care must be taken to avoid baking- powders mads from alum. Such powders are sold cheap, because they cost but a few cents per pound. Not only will they spoil the cake, but alum is a corro sive acid, which takes in food means injury to health. 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK, BRITISH LOSSES. October Average With Other Honths of the War. London, Nov. 3. The South African situation is improving and Lord Roberts will shortly return to England with a majority of his staff. Arrangements are being made in Cape Town to send the first batch of refugees back to Johannes burg, and accommodation is being pro vided at Bloemfontein for a. garrison of seven thousand. Nevertheless the activity of the Boers continues. On October 26, a commando of 300 captured a garrison of 30 men at Reddersburg, but afterward released them. Trains from the south to Pretoria are attacked by the Boers almost daily. On October 24 the burghers occupied Koffyfontein. On the other hand General Knox has inflicted a reverse on General Dewet's forces near Parys, capturing two guns, one of them a weapon lost by the Brit ish in the Sannas post affair. The daily tale of British casualties Is heavy. During the month of October the British lost 167 killed in action, includ ing 15 officers, 71 who died of wounds. 367 who died of disease, 22 who died of accidents and 97 captured or missing, a total almost equal to the monthly aver age for the duration of the war. The Daily Express publishes sensa tional statements tnat the Boer resist ance is more serious than has hitherto been believed, and that in consequence Lord Roberts' return is likely to be still further postponed. It says also that no considerable party of troops will return before January or February, while the regimental drafts from England will continue and 5,000 horses will be sent out. The paper definitely declares that the Boers are well armed and abundant ly supplied with ammunition, and that the campaign is likely to last another six months. In the best informed quarters, how ever, it is asserted that there Is no ground for the pessimism of the Daily Express. CAR LEAVES TRACK. Lowman Bill Passengers Given Shaking Up Last Night One of the new cars brought from St. Louis by the Street Railway company, jumped the track last night at one of the defective joints, near Morris ave nue, and landed in the mud, front down, the roof slanting upwards at an angle of about 30 degrees. The colored women, their children, the white "women aijd the men passengers were plunged into a confused pile at the front end of the car, being later extrica ted and compelled to complete the re mainder of the trip home by walking. Not Carlos' Rising. Venice, Nov. 3. Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, in the course of an interview declared that the present rising in Spain, is contrary to his orders and will retard instead of promoting his efforts to secure his rights.

Aycr'a SsupariUa Ayer't Pills Ajcr't Ague Cur Ayer't Hair Vigor Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Aver' Omarone AN IRISH CAKE WALK. It Shared Honors With the Eagle in The Ivy Leaf." It was odd enough to have a Cakewalk In the Ameer's palace in Afghanistan, but to have the shifty coon step invade the Irish melodrama is positively sad. The burnt cork minstrel has tried to push the jolly Hibernian, with his fiery red Galway fringe, from the center of the stage for a long time, thus rar tney have not gone beyond the legitimate ap peal to public favor, each taking their turn one alter the other, like vaudeville. Now ti seems that the Irish melodram atists have had to incorporate the cake walk into their fetes along with the Kerry dance and the himble clog. Little Norine did it with Murty Kerrigan in "The Ivy Leaf," at the Crawford last night, at any rate. The question that now arises is how long will it be before Shakespeare succumbs to the ecstatic rag time? Perhaps Topeka will see Bot tom or Puck lead one of Titania's fairies through the pas-ma-la when the James Kidder combination arrives here next month. Who knows? "The Ivy Leaf" east was not strong enough to do justice to the pretty Irish melodrama of many years' popularity. They declaimed their lines in resem blance to a class in elocution, Neil O'Callaghan as Darby Flynn, the old fisherman, came nearer to escaping dullness than Edwin Hanford'9 "Murty Kerrigan" and Virginia Clay's "Collice O'Brien." The spectacular features the eagle s flight across the stage carry ing Little Norine to his crag, her rescue, the ivy tower scene with Murty's dar ing leap from it had special scenery and interest centered in their apt work ings. In the way of specialties John W. Hogan, the Irish piper, was much ap preciated. Miss Hart, Mr. Hanford and Mr. O'Callaghan clung to the good old Irish jigs and were generously applaud ed for their work In this line. FIGHTING IN CHINA. Anglo -German Force Success fully Storm Tzching Pass. London, Nov. 3. The Pall Mall Ga zette this afternoon publishes a dispatch from Ichow, dated October 28,' which says heavy fighting has occurred in the mountains on the Shan Si frontier. An Anglo-German force of 1,500 men, com manded by Col. Von Norman, stormed Tzching Kung pass. The Chinese occupied a strong posi tion on the crest and stubbornly re sisted. They poured a hot enfilading fire oil the advance party of 80 Ger mans, under Major Von Forresteer, but the British Bengal cavalry and mounted sappers, dismounted, scaled the heights, turned the enemy's flank and relieved the Germans. peopiTe driven back. Robbers Wreck an Ohio Bank With. Dynamite and Escape. Bellefontalne, O., Nov. 3. The Farm ers' and Merchants bank at Jackson Center was blown open at 2 o'clock this morning, and it is stated $5,600 was se cured. Citizens aroused by the explo sion poured into the streets only to be driven in by heavily armed and masked men, who escaped on a handcar over the Ohio Southern railway. River Steamer Sunk. Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 3. The steamer Hill City, belonging to the Hill City Steamboat company of St. Louis, and plying between St. Louis and New Or leans, struck a hidden obstruction in Tennessee Chute just below the city at 1:30 o'clock this morning and sank. The water covers the lower deck, but the boat lies in a good position and can easily be raised. The Hill City was en route to New Orleans and had a full cargo, 30 passengers and a crew of 40. All got safely ashore in yawls. Plague at Glasgow Suppressed. Glasgow, Nov. 3. The last of the plague sufferers was dismissed from the hospital today. DANGERS TAL Young People Enthusiastic Oyer Twentieth Century Ball. Ladies Meet With Other Mem bers of Committee. OLD FATHER TIME. He Will Ring Out the Century and Ring in New. Costume Question is Already Causing Worry. The Twentieth Century Inaugural Fete will be a great success if the zeal and enthusiasm aa displayed by the members of the advisory board at their meeting in the Commercial club rooms ia a criterion. One thing which stood out prtwnl nently at the meeting was the fact that a large perectnage of those present were ladies. And when the ladies take hold of an enterprise it may be set down as a foregone conclusion that the affair will be carried through to a successful end. Chairman George W. Crane opened the meeting by explaining what had al ready been accomplished by the ex ecutive committee and outlined the work for the future in a general way. He said: "Of course ifc should be understood from the beginning that it will not be a mask affair. On the contrary we want to make this a costume ball, leaving oft the objectionable features. Of course this will not exclude the wearing of any kind of headdress necessary to carry out the idea of the dress of a certain epoch. "The scale of prices will probably be from $2 to $3 for the privileges of the first floor. Those who occupy seats in the balcony to view the pretty spectacle will probably pay 50 cents for the priv ilege of sitting in either of the first three rows and 25 cents for seats back of the third row." A suggestion which meets with favor is the plan to use the old fire bell which has fallen into disuse, when the new year and the new century begin. The bell may be painted in imitation of the old Liberty bell, and placed on the stage of the Auditorium. Promptly at 12 o'clock, Major Tom Anderson, typically attired as Father Time, carrying his scythe and hour glass, will come hobbling across the stage and beat out the old year and ring in the new century by striking the Dell a dozen times, the hour, midnight. This plan will be adopted and elabo rated. Every one to whom it is told eoes into ecstacies over it. The arrange ment for the details of this plan will come under the direction of the pro gramme committee. Dr. Henry Koby suggested giving a pantomime of some of the situations in Lonsrfellow's "Courtship of Miles Stand- ish." The characters will be on the floor in costume and could be drilled to go through with the pantomime while some one read passages from the poem. Colonel Hughes suggested having the minuet danced by from twelve to twenty oounles. The Virginia reel was suggested a3 a wind-up to the ball by Miss iiiuen. i-aris-hurst. The subject of costumes was discussed at length. It was the opinion of some that owing to the fact that other cities were to have the century ball that it would be difficult to secure costumes. Another suggestion was to appoint a committee of ladies who would make all the costumes needed for pay. However, these questions will come up for final settlement at the meeting at the Commercial club rooms next Wed nesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. "There is some doubt in the minds cf the people," said Miss Edna Crane, "as to the meaning of the statement of the executive committee when they an nounced that only costumes worn in America since its discovery would be in order. "Some," she said, "have the Idea that only the characters that are wholly American are meant by the announce ment. The Idea of the committee as I understand it is to allow the fancy court dress and the dress of those lower in rank of those who came over to this country from the time of its discovery In 1492 down until the present." Chairman Crane asked of those pres ent: "Who is there here who will not serve on a committee when appointed?" Not a. voice was heard and with a smil ing face Mr. Crane said: "I am glad to see that you all mean to do your best jn helping make the Twentieth Century In augural Fete a function which will be the swellest ever given in Topeka." John C. Waters suggested a refresh ment committee. "It should be the most important committee among the bunch," said he. The committee adjourned to meet Wednesday afternoon. In the meantime following out. a suggestion made by A. B. Quinton, all the members of the ad visory board who know of others who will help in the work will send the names to either Major Anderson at the Commercial club or to the chairman of the executive committee, George W. Crane. The committee received a note from Edward Wilder declining because of ab sence from the city to serve on com mittee. ACHENBACH DENIES.

"I have read funny stories concern ing the green town boy who dallied with the inoffensive looking hornets' nest," said a railroad man,"and I have heard to farmers plowing into bumblebees' nests, and I have myself caught bumble bees in their homes and tried to capture them. When a boy I played on a com mon that was planted in clover and lit tle honeybees would sting my naked feet daily, but I had an experience with a wasp a few years ago that will cause his sting to linger in my mind forever. I was station agent in a little town in western Kansas at the time and, as all agents in small towns where there is a competing line, I was very obliging and was on the lookout for any business I could find. I had a reputation for be ing polite and obliging and flattered my sMf that I picked up a little business on account of it. There was a lady visiting in the town who was quite a social fa vorite and she wanted to go to Louisi ana to visit some friends she had mon ey and put in her time visiting so she talked with me about the route she should take and the connections she would make. There was one connection in Louisiana I could not leam from the time table and had to write about it. It was some time before I received a reply, but I think that woman stopped me on the street at least twice a day and came to the station once besides to inquire about the connections and talk the trip over. I got awfully tired of it, but that is one of the trials of an agent's life, however, it has nothing to do with the wasp. One day in the fall, it was a beautiful warm day, she stopped me on the street and made the usual Inquiry which led into a rehajsh of the ground we had talked over numberless times. I noticed several wasps crawling around on the sidewalk as they do in the warm fall days after a cool night, but paid no attention to them. One of them crawl ed up my trousers leg while the woman was talking to me and I was smiling and talking pleasantly. It got pretty well up; in fact, it got up as far as it could go handily and I suppose I moved my leg. The wasp may have been stiff with the cool weather, but his basebur ner was working all right and when I moved he stuck his retaliator into me. I grabbed my trousers where the wasp was, gave a yell, like a Comanche In dian and without stopping to say a word to the woman, who had screamed-f when I jumped, I started on a dead run for my home which was a few doors away. As I entered the front gate, I threw off my coat and vest and took off the rest of my clothes in the house. As I removed my trousers the wasp flew out and I saw what the trouble was. I had thought it was a rattlesnake or something equally as bad. I had been in the house but a few minutes when the neighbor men rapped at the door and when my wife, who was almost choked with laughter, answered their call ask ed if they could be of any assistance. They explained later that the woman had told them that I had suddenly gone mad. My wife told the story on me and when the woman finally bought her ticket and left she could not refrain from laughing in my face through the ticket window. I assured her however that I was not going to the asylum for awhile."

They were talking of the Galveston disaster, when one of the men said: "Of course I have great sympathy for the people there, but, like everyone else, I do not feel the same as I would if I had had personal friends or relatives in the city. I was never there but once and then only for a few days. The only man whom I got acquainted with was like myself, a visitor, and the thing in the city which interested us both more than any other one thing was a monkey which belonged to a barkeeper in one of the many saloons. I do not remember how the barkeeper looked, but I can re call that monkey very distinctly. He was large much larger than any I had ever seen. I do not recall the breed of monkey he was, but I think he came from Java. He was a most intelligent brute and I remember that my friend remarked that he was the intellectual superior of his master. The saloon was not a very public one and patronage was not very brisk while we were there, but on account of the monkev we made up for the customers who did not drop Jn. The monkey was sitting on the bar when we went in and of course it at tracted our attention at once. We called for cocktails after talking awhile with the barkeeper about the brute and he asked us if we thought the monkey cou.d mix the drinks. Of course we laughed at the remark, but at the word from his master that monkey flew around and proceeded to mix two cock tails m the most approved fashion. The were fine and of course we were greatly surprised. The barkeeper assured us that the monkey -could mix any drink we would call for providing, of course, that we did nt ask for drinks that were Known only in certain localities. He could mix any drink that was known nationally. We tried him and the monkev did not receive one sign from his master. He would simply repeat after us what we ordered and would then say, 'Mix it up. Jack." and the monkey would proceed to mix. He made gin fiz, mint julep, gin ricky, sherry cobbler, lemonade, milk punch, and marie them all cf the very best. I have seen few professional mix ers who could fix up drinks in the man ner that monkey could. We did not attempt to drink all we ordered, but would taste of the drink and then call for something else. The monkey was a great source cf profit for the proprietor, who told us that he had about com pleted the monkey's training, and when he had taught him the names of ail the standard high priced cigars he intend ed taking the animal to New York and opening up a saloon where he expected to make all kinds of money on the strength of having a monkey barkeeper. He said that he had spent less than a year teaching the animal all it knew. I have never heard of the monkey since I left the town and don't know what became of it. I expect, though, that it took to hard drink and filled a damn and undesirable drunku'i's grave, for it was very fond of bvt-r-fct the time I was there, and could op it a bottle of beer and dispose of the contents very handily."

TOPEKA, KANSAS. as campaign yeara usualy are," re marked a gentleman after the parade had passed the hotel last night, "and I also notice that the man w ho i3 will ing to walk through the mud and let oil from a torch drip on his clothing is fewer in numbera I consider this a very good sign and think that the country will be saved, no matter which way the election goes. In the old days w hen men tramped the streets night after night carrying a smoky, greasy torch, howling themselves hoarse, or stood for hours in the streets while some would-be statesman poured out oratory of a low or high order I used to tremble for the country. Not because I gave much thought to what the orator said, but be cause I questioned the sanity of the howling torch bearer who made up the mass of the people. The decadence of the torch bearer is the best possible sign that the country is not going to the demnition bow-wows. When the torch bearer begins to think for himself he quits tramping in the mud, and when he quits tramping in the mud it means that the day of the vote as you think and not as you are told has arrived. Another sign of the increase of sanity is the fact that no man has so far made a bet to wheel another man down the main street if his candidate is not elect ed, and the idiot who agrees to go with out shaving if his candidate is not elect ed has not been heard from. In former presidential years all these and many more idiotic bets would have been made and talked about by this time. Men formerly let their nails or hair grow on bets and some even made bets which would prohibit them from bathing, hoping doubtless that they would lose the bet in order to have an excuse for not laundering themselves.

Deliver a Series of Lectures For School Picture Fund. Woman's Federation In Charge of the Tenture. Much interest is being taken in art and literary circles in the coming series of lectures at the high school o nthe paint ings in the great art galleries of Dres den. Berlin, Vienna, Munich and other cities. Fraulein Stolle, who will open the sea son of the Union Lecture course at the high school November 5, has been secured through the efforts of the ladies of the City Federation of Woman's clubs to re main the remainder of the week in this city and give the series of lectures men tioned above. "To be able to attend this series of lec tures will," said Mrs. A. H. Thompson, president of the city federation, "be al most equal to a trip throusrh the fam ous art galleries of Europe with an ariist for a guide." Fraulein Stolle was bora in Berlin and has made a life study of art. All her lec tures are illustrated by the aid of a stere cpticon with pictures reproduced in color from the original paintings. Some have been led to believe that the stereopUcin reproductions were in black and white. This, however, in a mistake. "The dis tinctive color-schem" of each artist is faithfully represented, so faithfully, in fact, that the peculiarities of coloring in flesh-tints, as well as in draperies, are in stantly recoemizabie by any one who has seen the original work. The brilliant com binations of color, which make the woric, cf rurer distinctive, the wonderful p.jw. r and vividness of Rembrandt, the deep rich flesh-tints of Rubens, appear on the screen with a detrree of accuracy which keeps one in a Cf-nstant state of mingled t delight and surprise. In writing to Topeka. Fraulein Stolle says: "My lectures will deal with the masterpieces in each of the galleries, the peculiarities of the artist and his merits and how to recognize his works." Henc it may be assumed that the lectures wi l not appear cry to those who are really not interested in art. but will be amusing as well as instructive. Fraulein Stotle has. after years of ex periments with colors and methods, suc ceeded in painting with wonderful truth, and delicacy the pictures from the origi nals on slides to be reproduced with a lantern. The secret of their production is wholly hers and "no other collection can be compared to this." In cirryirg out this great work months were spent at efuh of the galleries and museums where water color sketches were made of the oriirmal.-. to aid in making the s"des. The Stolle lectures will begin Tuesday, November 6. Frauiein Stolle will arrive in this city Saturday and will stop at "The Spivey." The programme for the five lectures Is as follows: Tnesdav The Galleries of Rome. Wednesday The Galleries of Florence. Thursday The Galleries of Venice and Berlin. Friday The Galleries of Dresden and Vienna, Saturday The Galleries of Paris and Modern Art. Tickets for the course can be obtained at the Kellam Book Stationery Co Moore Book Stationery Co.. and Mills Dry (Joods Co.: also from any of the teachers or club members of the, city or at the hiRh school on nights of lectures. No reserved seats. Season tickets good for the five lectures will be sold for J1.00. Single admissions, 60 cents. The woman's clubs have undertaken to decorate the school rooms of the city, and this series of lectures Is the first of a. series cf entertainments which will be ar ranged for at intervals during the winter to furnish the funds with which this work will be carried forward. The committee of about thirty members of the various, clubs met recently to dis cuss plans for future work. The federation is represented at each of the school buildings by a member of the city federation who represents the school in the councils of the art committee. Kach of the representatives will prepare A schedule of the various rooms in the school building represented by her. This schedule will include the names of the teachers of the various rooms and a list of the pictures or paintings hanging In the several rooms. Each of the schedules will be turned over to the central committee to sludv and consult in making assignments of pictures. Reports were read at the last meeting of this committee covering the work of last year. They were very en couraging and a great deal of enthusiasm was shown in endeavoring to make a bet ter showing this year. SUNFLOWER DESIGN. The One to Be Used on Exposition Stock. A design to be printed on the stock certificates of Kansas Semi-Centennial F.xposition company has been submitted and worked out by the artist at HaJl'a Lithographing company. The design is an elaboration of an idea suggested by F D. Coburn, chair man of the rommitte of publicity and promotion. The center piece is the seal of the state of Kansas with a stalk of corn and a stalk of sunflowers crossed to form a background. On either side is a sheaf of wheat and oats enclosed within the circle of a sickle. The words "iemi-Centennia! of Kansas, Topeka, 1854-1904," appear in a scroll work around the center piece. This design will undoubtedly be adopt ed and will be printed in a tint on the face of the stock certificates with the other printing in black over it. New subscriptions to the capital stock continue to come in. A meeting of the board of directors will be called soon after election at which time detailed plans for the work to be carried out during the coming winter will be made. II. M. Philips has a supply of the ex position stickers which are to be used on all the stationery and in advertising in various ways. Secretary Coburn has had a button made, an exact fac-simile of the exposi tion stickers. A supply will be secured in time for general distribution. Kvcry means that may be devised for effective advertising will be adopted by the directors. Although it is apparently a long time until the date for the ex position the time Is comparatively short in which to accomplish m great a woi k and all the energy that may be ovotet to the enterprise will be nrided. The papers from all parts of the utatu are giving the project much complimen tary notice outnlde the notices sent out by the bureau of publicity. The people are becoming thoroughly in favor of th plan and many of the business men re ceive letters every day from people re siding in various parts of the stare to? information In regard to the scheme.

On a high hill, in the midst of the most thickly populated portion of the city cf Stockport, England, stands an immense four-story brick building, at once the pride of the town and the Mecca of Sunday school pilgrims from every quarter of the globe. This is the world-renowned Stockport Sunday school, famous alike for its gigantic size and its remarkable history extending over a period of 116 years. With a pres ent enrollment of over 5.800. and a total record of 6.085 teaetwrs and 105.900 schol ars trained within its walls, its achieve ments are without a parallel in the an nals of Sunday school effort. Members ot the school are now wide ly scattered in all parts of the world, and it is interesting to know that hundreds of them have crossed the Atlantic to make America their home. The most notable of the old pupils residing in this country is Mr. Thomas W. Weath ered, a retired merchant of New York city, whose devotion to the school is so great that for thirty-one consecutive summers he has crossed the ocean to take part in the anniversary of the lay ing of its cornel stone. This famous institution dates back to 17S4, four ears after Robert Raikes be gan his notable experiment in Sooty, alley. It was originally established for the children of the laboring poor, whose condition was at that time pitiful in the extreme. In the early days teachers were employed at the rate of one shil ling and sixpence a Sunday, and there were two sessions from 9 o'clock in the morning to 12, and from 1 o'clock to the hour of afternoon worship, when the pu pils were conducted to either church or chapel, returning again to the school un til 6 o'clock. The curriculum embraced not only Bible study, but reading, writ ing and spelling, arithmetic being added in the case of a few who distinguished themselves by diligence and good be havior.

How Buell's Thumb Was Scarred From the Philadelphia Post. Augustus C. Buell, the author of a nw life of Paul Jones, has himself had a life of varied experiences. He was in the Civil war as a boy, has been a newspaper man in Kansas and a Washington correspond ent and newspaper man in the east, has published a volume on the Civil war, was a civil engineer in the west, and for some -ears pajst htts been connected with a rfrge shipbuilding concern in Philadelphia. He prides himself on his Americanism. Ail sixteen of his great-sreat-graniipar-ents were born within the present limits of the United States, and his four great grandfathers fought in the Revolution ary war. In preparing his work on Paul Jones he etuciies extensively in foreiarn libraries, and had access, besides, to hith eri unpublished material. A Kar on the insiiie of hia right thumb has a curious history. "One of my great-grandfathers," he Winter Nights are Coming On, You Will Spend More Time at Home Than Ever. A Kimball Piano Will Help You Pass the Time Admirably, says, "was a gunner on the Bonhomme Richard: so you see it was natural that in the Civil war I drifted into the artillery mvnel f "In a hot fight in which our battery was engaged the day before the battle of Cold I-larbi.r, my principal duty was t keep my thumb over the vent of one of the cannon. The principal object of this was to prevent premature explosion through sparks re maining in the cannon from previous dis charges. Most gunners swab out the gun after every discharge so as to extinguish these sparks, ar.d if they do so the work Of the boy at the vent is much easier. "But an Irishman named Griffiths, who was No. 1, and who had therefore to loiid and swab the cannon, became tremend ously excited and did not swab it out oftener than once every half dozen dis-. charges or so. This was hard on me, for I had to keep my thumb pressed down so continuously on the hot metal. The thumb began to btirn so badly that I call ed to him to swab out the gun oftener, but he merely answered with a volley of excitable oaths. 'But it's burning the flesh away!" I cried. 'Then hold it tight with the bone!' he yelled back. "Well, it hurt prettv bad. but we got through the fight. That night, when we were enjoying our coffee and -hardtack, and I had the thumb wrapped up, I turn ea to ijrinitns ana said: 'Vnat it 1 hud let go of that when it was burning my thumb so badly?' 'I thought of that,' he said grimlv, and was ready to brain vou with the rammer if you had done such a thing. "At that I spluttered so that I lost half of my precious coffee, for Griffiths wms completely forgetting that if I had let go, and there had been a premature dis charge, there wouldn't have been any thing left of him." CARRIED OFF THE BABY. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. Motherly-looking, middle-aged women with a fondness for admiring babies in the hands of strange young women will find in Mrs. Elizabeth Lasky, of the rear of 829 Orianna street, an example of what the habit may lead to. Mrs. Lasky is a gray-haired kindly faced woman. She was a passenger in a Girard avenue ear yesterday. In the seat opposite sat a well-dressed young wo man with a babe in her arms. The little thing became restless after a time, and Mrs. Lasky, who had reared several babies of her own, went over and sat next to the woman with the babv. Mrs. Lasky snapped her fingers in front of the youngster's face, tickled it under the chin and said "Goo! goo!" The baby crowed and stretched out its chubby fists to her. Now, accordingg to the ethics of foot ball, it was the young woman's turn to try for a goal. She was not slow in seizing the opportunity. "Won't you hold the baby a moment for me, please?" she asked, at the same time pushing the child into Mrs. Lasky's outstretched arms. Mrs. Lasky readily acquiesced. She was so taken up with the child that she forgot all about the young woman. She said "Goo! goo!" to it innumerable times, and it articulated "goo" back to her and smiled as only a baby can smile. Mrs. Lasky wanted to get oft the car at Nineteenth street, and, as Eighteenth Btreet was reached, she suddenly re membered that the baby did not belong to her, and looked around for the young woman. In the meantime that indi vidual had seen an opportunity to break through the center, and was making the most of her chance. With a wild rush she jumped from the car and hurried away. The suddenness of it all left Mrs. Lasky speechless. The car stopped and went on again several blocks before Mrs. Lasky could speak. Then she timidly approached the conductor and offered him the baby, with an explanation. He listened to her patiently, but declined to take the baby off her hands. "I'd take it, lady, in a minute.if they'd let me hand it to the 'lost and found department' at the depot, but they won't," he said. Still dazed, Mrs. Lasky got off the car with the child. She had not recovered fully an hour or so later, when she got back to her home. Several times she had to pinch herself to find out if she was awake. Mons. Routkowsky Conferring j' v "V s i it j r .r Quiet but effective are the operations of Mons. Routkowsky, financial agent of the Russian imperial government, now oscillating between Washing ton and Wall street on his special mission of floating enormous blocks of Russia's new bonds in this country.

Today in the Homes of The United States More Kimball Pianos Will be Found Than all Other Pianos Combined A HAND SA7 IS A GOOD THING, EUT NOT TO SHAVE WITH." W M H(L J) IS THE PROPER THING Boekieepioz, Shorthand. Telegraphy. Then the baby began calling .for hia luncheon, and Mis'. Lasky became firmly convinced that v wa wide awake. She examined the baby and found that he was dressed- in comfortable clothing of good quality, Wrapped in his drews was a nursery bottle and a ten-dollar bill. Mm Lasky notified the police of her strange adventure. She says she will keep th baby for the time being. When a reporter called at Mrs. Lasky a home today he found, her nursing the baby. It's a pretty blue-eyed buy, ap parently about 2 months old, and is evi dently not afflicted -with any impedi ment in its lung powers. "Doesn't it seem strange," said Mrs. Lasky, with a good-natured smile, "that a baby should come to an old woman like me whose husband has been dead these 10 long years. Then, just think of it, too, my daughter, who ha beti ill in a hospital, will be here with a new baby tomorrow. She'll find that I've got a baby. too. Won't that be fun. I'll keep the baby for a few weeks anyhow. Maybe I'll keep him altogether. He's a niei little fellow. I don't see how any one couii be heartless enough to desert him." Jim. Lasky, like her neighbors, is a hard working woman. In order to keep the dwarf she will have to toil longer and harder each day. ROMANCE OF THE PLAGUE. From the London Chronicle The last time the plague visited Glas gow with excessive virulence was in Aug ust, 1645. Then on the 16th of that month, the Marquis of Montropp. who fought un der the standard i f Charles I. s'gnally de feated the Covenanters under General Bailie at Kilsyth. Thereupon the it tvost and corporation of the pestilence ttrleken city sent envoys with a message of con gratulation to the marquis and a warm invitation to htm and his noidiers to par take of Olapirnw'B hospitality. Montt-o e at the head of his troops, entered the city and was sumptuously entertained, but would not stay on account of the epi demic. However, as a matter of business, apart from pentiment. he levied a hecvy tax for supplies upon his Glaswegian hosts, to their huge disgust. A memento of a pathetic romance con nected with the K,J5 plague visitmlon in Sf-otland is a railed enclosure on the bank of the Almond, in the parish of Methven. Perthshire. It marks the spot hre ite interred the hapless "Bessie Bell and Mary Gray." famed in Scottish son. Daughters respectively of the laird of Kinvaid and the laird of I.vnedoch, the maidens were much attached to each other, and when they heard of th rav ages of the plague they retired to a bower near the Almond anil dwelt In perfect se clusion. The fair recttuten. however. hMd their place of retreat discovered by a young man of their Acquaintance, who supplied the twain with provisions. He caught the plague himself, unlujjfclly, ami communicated inffcti--n to Bessie una" Mary, to which the girls fell victims. Ac cording to the stern customs of the time their bodies were not allowed Interment In Methven kirkyard, so they were buried to gether in a spot contiguous to thu bower.

Ho Has Achieved of It Pains In Spite Tim Murphy is demonstrating' practic ally and forcibly that an artist hamper ed by an un -euphonious came can win 1 high, stellar honors: even mount to the pinnacle of his- profession, says the Washington. Star. T.m. despite hi3 name, which seems 1 incongruous and inharmonious when ap Will Ba Seen in. Topeka, Sooa in Wife." plied to one ef his artistic temperament, has won for himself a hi-h piace in the esteem cf theater-goers. The name Murphy is. everybody knows, a grood old Irish one. a name whose possessor need not be ashamed to wear it at any and all tims, whether an actor cr not. Murphy expl.iins that his is net the only unthe atrioai name, for many others are worn by actors that are. to a certain extent, a bar to their success. For instance, could a man who piayed foppish. dud parts ever hope to secure the support and co-operation of theater-eoers if he I were- blessed with such a name as Ola j Oleson. Ike Sohurtzieberser or Pat Mi i'ce. when su n names as Clarence 1 Beaumont or Chauncey Ponsonby would be in perfect harmony with the part? 1 Could an audience take seriously a big; 3 burly, athlete, playing ladiatcrial parts. who bore a ail ils.n name Would Julia Marlowe's classic beauty be as appealing j did she bear a less euphonious, prosaic and mean ins: ess name? Could you j imeraine Ada Kenan in a Shakespearean i play if her name were Bridget Flaani- gan? Lawrence Barrett'3 name, while and before he was a struggling young actor, was Brannigran, and William Florence's I was Conlin. Dorothy Morton, the opera j i singer, in girlhood was know-n as Nellie :v-J f W 'I f -1 V McCartfcy. and the majority of the well fcnown theatrical celebrities bore names that would give confirmed theater-eter3 the marhtmare, were they to assume them again. "A new acquaintance told me the oth e "v"y" said Mr- Murphy, "that he ask ed his wire to go with him to see Tim llurphy play, and her answer was: 'No, Joan. I don't care to see those Irish comedy dramas.' The man insisted, and whsn his wife saw me made up in my id-fashioned costume she refused to be lieve that my name was Murphy." .Mr. Murphy has set at rest all rumors about changing- his name. He explains the. cause of his determination not to monkey with the buzz saw. There is in Aesop a fable concerning the sad fate of the man that tried to please every body. Tim has learned to apply it. Ever since he took up the staae his friends have besoutrhe him to adopt a name for the theater. Some have sii77eated Eegtnald Murphy, others T. r? Coureey Murphy. One frank friend told him that he was a fool that he had on the etasre a brother named O'Rafferty, but that his staa-e name was Montmorency. Taey reminded him that Jbhn T. Raymond's real came was O'Brien. Henry Irving'3 Broadrib.. "tV. J. Florence's Conlin, etc. So. in despair, Tim decided to act uon the advice cf his friends After many anxious weeks he hit upon the plan of making- it Tym Murphi. "There" he exclaimed triumphantly. "That looks foreign enough to please the truest hearted American." The new scheme was telegraphed to Tim's printers and the comedian waited for the expected congratulations of his friends. They came with a rush. Thre was a general howl of indignation. His Irish friends "allowed" he was becoming stuck up. and thus poor Tim was crush ed between the upper and nether mill stones. He has taken an oath to con tinue Tim Murphy till the end of time, and he will never, never again try to fake an Italian ancestry. It will be noticed that on one of the billboard posters his name is still spelled "Murphi." CHILD IS SAVED. Inhuman Treatment to Make Her an Actress. The Gerry society is frequently ap prised of a case requiring; its attention, by an anonymous letter, such as the following-, says a writer in Ainsiee'3 Magazine: "I write to ask if you will kindly call in regard to a little chil i that is at pres ent living in No. West Forty-third street, and is in r.eed of your care and aii very much. To begin with, they are making an actress of her. and the poof little thing does not look able to perform the duties, and she is forever with marks on her body. She teiis us how she gets these marks till our hearts ache for her. Eat we don't dare say anything, for they would kill her sure. She says they are not her father and mother, and that she cannot write to them. Corne as soon as possible. Mrs. A cautious investigation followed the receipt of this letter, and the man and w -rcaii described were arrested. The child. Blanche was taken in charge by the society. The man and woman were found to b cheap vaude ville actors, who had outlived their earn ing days. They were training the child Si? sh- cou'd support them. They had wheedled the child away from h-r par ents, who lived in Canada, on the pr? text that they would make of her a fa-m-'us actress. The furnished rooms in which the couple lived were in a squalid condition. They had covered the chad with bruises in thir efforts to have her a:quire vulgar dances and poses The child said to an officer of the society as she was about to be returned to her parerts: "I don't want any more acting busi ness. If people knew how they beat me. they wouldn't like the play, would they?" i THEY MAKE MONEY. How Soma of the Vaudeville People Spend Their Earnings. The stories of extravagantly large sal aries earned by vaudeville performers naturally icad many to wonder what they do with- their money. It may be said, not only that their profits after paying necessary running expenses are probably not nearly as large as many suppose. as the expenses of various kinds are much greater than is generally un derstood, but that, as a rule, these peo ple are much more saving than used to be the case with the profession. Many of them have handsome homes and sum mer residences where they rst from the fatigue of drawing large salaries during the winter months, and not a few have invested successfully in real estate and stocks of various kinds. Helena Mora, with Hyde's Comedians, and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sidman. who have elegant summer residences at Beo-snn-hurst-by-tae-sea, a pretty suburb of Greater ?ew York, while Fiison and Errc4 have a farm near Detroit, on CRANE AS "DAVID HARUM." i- .v W?' which they raise strawberries and peaches that are famous in that city and bring very fancy prices.

Several wealthy men are trying to have the Passion PTay of Oberammergan produced in the Mew World. An American millionaire offers Anton Lang, the "Christus" of the sacred spectacle, a guarantee of lW.fl0 for an individual trip. It is stated that the charter of the village of Oberammerga u forbids prsduction of the play elsewhere, but learned lawyers are at work trying to evade that provision. who fe Mrs. Jos.

Mr. Hart is also the owner of several larg- apartment houses in New York, and it costs him something also to indulge hia penchant for collecting manuscripts of old plays. LIX COr.N'3 ATTDIEUTCE. The English Entertainer's Discouraging- Experience. Cf Frank Lincoln, the wen known English entertainer, the following story is told t-y a London periodical: "Mr. Lincoln teiis another little story of a final speech. He was giving his performance one evening in a ec-untry town. The audience was small at the beginning, but it became gradually and beautifully less. He felt inctined to cat out some of the stories as one perwn after another went creaking out. But the patient attention of a man at the back of the hall was an artistic en couragement to go on. Before the even ing was over the speaker on the plat form and the man in the back seat were the only human beings left in the hail. Mr. Lincoln did not omit a singie word of his tw hours entertainment. When th? end came at last he addr-ssed his audience thus: T am glad to perceive there is one intelligent man. in this town!" The man in the back seat stood up. That's ail right, sir," said he: If you've quite finished I'll lock up I'm the hall keeper." PACES AND VOICES. Di2cnlt to Find Beauty and Ability to Sing. There wa3 a scene on the stage of the Alvin Friday afternoon, says the Pitts burg post, which was very funny or very serious, according to the view point. Eight or ten young Pittsburg men and women who had aspirations to sing in a chorus were given, a hearing by Manager Frank Perley. Whther they will ever be given a chance or not m!y he knows. He has the names, addresses and standing as to voice, singing ability, face, form and personality, down in bts reference book aior.g wita a thousand or so others. When some other manager comes along and picks a pretty and talented giri out of his chorus for a mi nor roie in atme other organization, as has happened so frequently, he will send on for the most promising candidate. "It has been my experience." said Mr. Perley. "that the best voices ar almost invariably pcg eased by what a theatri cal manager considers misshapen per sons. Not one girl in 30 has the voice, appearance and personality. The most glorious contralto voice I ever heard was that of a girl who was so homely that nature must have been in a somber mood the day she was bora. "There is always a demand for chorus people. In every one of the larger cities I find letters, sometimes V or 50 or more, asking me to give the writers a hearing. I always do so, for there is a chance that I may make a great find and be sides I have always this material to pick from when some of my people leave. Why it is I do not know, but In Pitts burg wa do not have ao many applica tions. "Of course there are many laughable Incidents. Som of the worrren sing some difficult aria or grand opera. Others use rag time songs, or sing in a f oreign tongue. If anything will kill a girl's chances with me it is that. I want to hear how she can sing in English. S.wne of them start in and sing until I stop them. Two or three bars is enough for me to form my opinion as to a candi date's availability." PIXLET MISUNDERSTOOD. How the Author of The Burgomaster Got Into Trouble. Frank Pixley, the librettist and lyricist of 'The Burgomaster, is now very care ful in making any corrections or surges tions to the membera of the company. In fact, he now acts entirely thrvugh the medium cf Mr. Tom Picketts, trie stage manager, and this is why: The other evening he noticed that in sing ing "The Tale cf the Kangaroo." Jose phine Newman misread one of the lines cf the song. He therefore tore out a leaf of his note book and wrote the words correctly upon it, folded the mis sive up and slipped it into Miss New man's hand at a convenient moment. He had underlined the omitted, word. When Miss Newman read the note she looked astonished and perplexed, and then she laughed hilariously, and Mr. Pixley has been buying cigars and candy for the company ever since. The line was "Please be my kind fairy, f r I've worked tonight for ym." and the my was underlined. How many men get into trouble through an every-day business phrase misconstrueii by their typewriter: It's possible. MUSIC AND THE PUBLIC James Pitch. Thompson Discuss ea the Popular Taste. Jaraei Fitch Thompson, who made his vaudeville debut at Keith's. Boston, last week, in a column interview in the Her ald cf that city, said: "My conviction is that Beethoven's songs, as well as those of other great composers, can be appreciated and enjoyed by the general public if they are given an. opportunity under favorable circumstances. There have been heard in the vaudeville a great many operatic: singers and a great many sin-gers who are always as sociated wdth the variety stage. Neither of them sing this other form of music, and my engagement is for the purpose of ascertaining to what extent and how far the public will appreciate the best swings n't only of other ages, but of toda? like 'Little Boy Blue. There, Little Girt. Dc-.'t Cry." 'The Little Tai Ier Boy.' 'The Fortune Teller Toi i Me.' etc. There is the 'Brtndisi Aria,' which Schumann-Heink delivers with such success: 'Edir.boro Town,' which won fame and fortune fir Jenny Land; 'Cumin' Thro' the P.ye' and 'Home, Sweet Heme.' for Pattl: 'Please. Sir. Give Me a Penny. for Xlljson; to say nothing of the Irish songs of Plunkett Green and the English dialect songs on David Bispham's programmes, none of w-hich are at all in the same c!as3 mu sically as the so-called popular so-r.gs which form Fart of my diUly pro gramme." i Charlea B. Hanford's Play. The' title of the play "Private John AI W which is making money for Charles B. Harford in the south this season has been the cause of some comment in po litical circles. Mr. Hanford has taken occasion in several instances to point out the fact that the Private John Al len who has made so enviable a posi tion for himself in congress hails from Tupelo. Mississippi, whiie his character in the play is from Cad'io Parish.

Up in Massachusetts, according to the Boston Journal, people are still asking the meaning of 16 to 1. Having decided hew Cleveland 'Will vote, perhaps "Walter Wellman .will do as much for Tom Reed. Four years ago Mr. Croker told1 the "boys" to vote aa they pleased. This year it is supposed to be different. It is encouraging to note that both Bides assure the country that the elec tion will be fair.. After that there should be no complaining about the result. If the newspaper correspondents couldn't tell truthfully how Mr. Cleve land would vote how can they tell how 15,000,000 citizens will cast their ballots? The adage that actions speak louder than words is again illustrated by the fact that Mr. Cleveland has contrived to make it generally known that toe is going duck hunting. The Boston Herald sacrifices the truth to its desire to make a pun in the fol lowing: "Gov. Roosevelt haa just ob served his forty-second birthday with his usual fortytwoed." If election, forecasts which have ap peared are as worthless aa the predic tions regarding Mr. Cleveland's vote, it will be necessary to wait for the count in order to know anything about the re sult. The man who will not vote next Tues day is in distinguished company. For in stance, there are Grover Cleveland, Thomas B. Reed, John G. aCrllsle, W. C. "Whitney, Bourke Cockran and Andrew Carnegie. Chicago Chronicie: "When practical politicians talk of "knifing" it should al ways be remembered that they can an swer only for themselves Individually. "No man can make another go into a polling booth and commit aa act of treachery. The report of the second assistant postmaster general, showing a business of about $100,000,000 a year transacted by Ills department, without loss to the gov ernment, affords food for much reflec tion. "Why cannot some other lines of business be managed in the same way? Mr. Cleveland lias positively refused say how he will vote, so Walter Well man has been compelled to make pub lic that the ex-president will vote for McKinley and Roosevelt. Mr. Wellman (rave Mr. Cleveland a fair chance and ample time but he neglected his oppor tunity. Tho voters of Rhode Island, at the coming election, will be called on to de cide whether they will continue to make their state conspicuous as an exception to most other states by holding their election in April and their legislative session in May, or whether they will join the procession and elect their state officers in November. Atchison Globe: An Atchison man be lieves that if Croker is in earnest. Bryan will carry New York. We do not believe It makes any difference wtiether Croker I in earnest or not. For every vote Cro ker makes for Bryan, he will make one for McKinley. The better class of Dem ocrats in New Tork city thoroughly de test Croker. The New Tork World is a Temocratic paper, but it roasts Croker regularly, and shows that he stands for everything disreputable In American politics. Chicago News: There were 76,295,220 Inhabitants in the United States last rpring, the number having increased tome 21 per cent since 1890. Of this num her 75,999,999 are mainly interested in keeping their jobs, sowing their fall wheat, husking their corn, getting their apple butter made, having their last winter's cloak remodeled, buying the new rarpet for the front room at a bargain and keeping out of the black books of the school ma'am. Approximately 61, S47.G92, having heard that a president is to be elected next Tuesday, try to take almost as much interest in that matter as they do in the question of fall styles n-.iatq in t h rrrYVr:eet Of a T""d yield of hickory nuts after the first hard t .V" nA- the total of 76,295,220 expect to vote, and of these 15.000,000 about 75 per cent will vote a certain way because they have been in the habit of voting that way or because the sentiment in their locality leans one way. Finally there are some S. 000,000 electors or roughly 3 per cent of the total population, who may be swayed end Influenced by all the tremendous propagftridizins which hasbeen going on the last four months.

When the old Salt RK-er packet swings out from oft the shore. That time-worn old side-wheeler wiil be crowded to the rail With a band of royal prophets whose pro phecies did fail. There wiil be no bands of music and not a Joyful shout As the packet slips her moorings, when, the votes are counted out. The great and mighty speakers, who stumped all 'round the state, Will have no further worry will know what is their fate. The promises they're holding, as pay for what they've done, Wiil be like "bookies" tickets after the race is run. For some will cash in quickly like the lucky race track tout. While others curse their fortunes when the votes counted out. The greasy old pie counter, deserted now tor weeks. Will once again be crowded by a hungry horde that seeks The pie of party triumph, or a crust of bread withal The choicest bits of pastry are not enough for all; And some will feed on bacon and some on speckled trout And some won't get a nibble, when the votes are counted out. And some will say, "I told you I knew that we would win," And others 11 talk of weather and how it might have been. But the common, peaceful people will feel once more content For the nation's still existing which eve way it went The verdict's then accepted that half, or there about.

Sheldon, in his latest published story, "Edward Blake, Col lege Student," has touched upon the matter of professionalism in college ath letics a subject which is earnestly dis cussed by every college man or lover of good wholesome athletics. The leading authoritlea on college sports, and there is little sport in any other sphere that is not tainted with professionalism, have all pleaded for the disbarment of professionals in all col legee athletics. The plea has been made on the grounds that professionalism, means an end to public interest, to a certain extent, and that the colleges can not keep up the enthusiasm, that fol lows a strictly amateur team. Rev. Mr. Sheldon opposes the introducing of pro fessionals into college teams for the rea son that under such circumstances the professional is always passed as a bona fide student, and that therefore the rest of the team "acts a lie" In. carrying out the deception. All who are interested in college sports will not agree with Rev. Mr. Sheldon, and may try to combat his position, but fair minded people must admit that the minister's view la the right one. Rev. Mr. Sheldon has always taken a keen interest in WjLshburn college athletics, and he is better able to speak of college sports in, general than most people would imagine. He believes in good, clean sports of all kinds, but he wishes them to be carried on in an honest manner. Just as he wishes everything else con ducted, whether it be business or pleas ure. A REBUKE NEEDED. In the local campaign in Shawnee county a great effort has been made to hold the people in line by an appeal to partisanship. When the Republicans arose in right eous indignation after the primary be cause the candidate for county attorney had been nominated by questionable methods and resolved to teach the per petrators of the outrage a lesson the whippers in and ward heelers winked the other eye and said "Things will cool off by election time for there i3 a na tional campaign coming." But they didn't cool. When the campaign opened the Republicans were just as much de termined to administer the deserved re buke as they were a week after the pri mary. When the managers found that they did not intend to forget the past they resorted to the old methods. The party lash has been cracked in ominous prox imity to the ear of the party voter. "The opposing candidate has always voted the opposition ticket. Would you, a life long Republican, support a Democrat?" and like interrogations were continually dinned into his ears. But the ordinary voter understands at last that the elec tion of a county attorney does not affect the election of a president or governor and the partisan appeals have met with small success. The mass of the people of all parties love honor, honesty and good govern ment. They don't like ring rule and it doesn't matter whether it is the whisky ring or some other ring. It Is not sur prising therefore that the sound of the party whip has been unheeded. It now seems likely that the Republicans will defeat Galen Nichols for county attorn ney at the election next Tuesday. RAILROAD PROSPERITY. As outward appearances o railroad operations in the west have not been affected by the fact that a presidential campaign, with all its agitations and wearinesses, its absorptions and time honoj d retarding Influence on bur'.nesj, haa been going on. Freight tonnage nas heavy. .It has not needed verbal state ments to confirm this assertion obser1 vation is sufficient. The fact that all the railway companies that are not com plaining of a car famine are at least compelled to admit It, is a sure indica tion that the general business conditions of the country are good. Thousands of cars have been ordered the last few months, yet the general supply Is far from being ample. Loco motives have been ordered In large num bers by all the big roads crossing the, continent, and the railway journals teem with reports of contracts entered. Into for every class of equipment It will be worth, remembering a month, hence that the railroads have made preparations for a long while back to handle the Immense business that is steadily rolling up before them. It is very evident that the clear business head3 who govern railroad affairs see business prosperity stretching far ahead of the present date, irrespective of which party succeeds at the polls next Tues day. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT The proposition to be voted upon next Tuesday to increase the membership of the supreme court from three to seven judges, will undoubtedly receive the nec essary majority of the votes cast to per mit its enactment into law by the next legislature. The candidates in both parties and the state committees representing them have endorsed the proposed amendment and the citizens of the state who have an interest in maintaining an effective judiciary will do the rest, at least that is the present indication. The court of appeals will lapse by vir tue of the expiration of the term for which It was created next January. Then the only tribunal left will be the supreme court which has gotten several years behind in its work owing to the great press of business which has been apparent there, 'ine court of appeals aided In disposing of many cases but that court is not what its framers antic ipated. The terms of this court are held in re mote parts of the state in at least three districts, and litigants have been sub jected to much annoyance by the trans fer of cases from the supreme court to the court of appeals from the decision of which a large proportion of the cases have been taken to the supreme court for review. To those who have accepted the decision of the court of appeals a3 final and have not bothered to get into the supreme court, this Intervening tri bunal has been Instrumental in furnish ing early decisions in cases, but as a matter of fact the court of appeals has not exactly suited the purposes for which it was created. The addition of four judges to the present supreme court bench will result in clearing the dockets and should afford litigants arc opportunity for the disposi tion of cases which under the present arrangement might be delayed for sev eral years. It is a well known fact that the tactics of corporations and large concerns, in cases of adverse judgment in lower courts, have forced settlements of cases out of courts, because the other inter ested party could not withstand the long delay necessary to have a final hearing upon some disputed subject or technical question of law. The increase in the membership of the supreme court will avoid all of these an noying delays and litigants may be as sured, under the new regime, of prompt hearing and decision of cases. Then too, the proposed new system will save the taxpayers of the state nearly $20,000 per year as the additional clerks and stenographers necessary for the increased membership of the su preme court will be that sum less than the present expense of maintaining the six judges of the court of appeals. PROBLEM OF OUR GROWTH. The population of the United States has increased from 63 million in 1890 to over 76 million in 1900, or nearly 21 per cent. This includes the immigrants who have come to the country during the decade, and the population of Hawaii, numbering about 130,000. The number of immigrants for the ten years has been slightly under 4 million, and most of them have settled in the eastern and extreme northern states. This Question of- immigration is brought before the people very clearly by a glance at the returns of the census department. It shows that the native increase of the country has been about 9 million and the increase from immi gration has been about one half as much, and it should be remembered that for four of the years there was prac tically no foreign immigration. Of the foreigners who came to the country the reports show that but about ten per cent could read and write and that they had an average of $30 for each new arrival. This is the class of people who are admitted to the country and given the same rights that an American born youth who has lived in the country until he is 21 years old is given. It is to the shame of the coun try that an ignorant foreigner is ad mitted to this country and allowed the right of franchise which Is denied the intelligent women and the college stu dent who is under 21 years of age. The politicians in the east and the con gressmen from the extreme northern states will fight a measure to restrict immigration because the population of the states they represent is composed largely of foreigners. If it is restricted at all it must be done by the men from the west and the south where the ma jority of the voters are American born. END OF THE CAMPAIGN. With midnight of Monday the speak ing and major portion of the campaign work of the presidential contest will be closed. Tuesday will be given over to the depositing of the ballots. Of course there will be thousands of ward heelers and petty politicians to annoy the voter and tell him how he should make out his ticket in order to save the country. But in the main election day will be given over to the quiet recording of a senti ment formed from the existing and past conditions in the United States. For at the ballot bx ev man equal and free n ne cures to be. riuunlIj- cIa-lc-ii minion ciozens wiii participate in this great event. It wiil be no snap judgment. For four months speakers have been g-ing up and down the land from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, expounding doctrines, red fires have burned and men have marched, 'therefore there Is no reason why every citizen should not be thoroughly Inform ed on the standing and the platforms of the various patties and be prepared to vot intelligently. Few persons are so free from prejudice and eager desire that they can give put an unprejudiced statement as to how this and that state will go. In 1896, Chairman Jones said practi cally, "Mr. Bryan will sweep the west and be elected." When James G. Blaine returned to Maine after his tour of the country as a candidate, he told his political friends he was as sure of carrying New Tork as he was of Vermont. Doubtless Mr. Blaine was sincere but like Mr. Jones he was mistaken. In 1888 New Tork managers of Mr. Cleveland's campaign assured the coun try that Mr. Harrison would be buried under a landslide and gave figures to prove it. But the landslide, if it ever started became sidetracked somewhere. Only nine days in advance of the elec tion of 1892 Joe Manley of Maine, the great forecaster, made the statement that President Harrison would certainly receive 216 electoral votes with many doubtful states. Harrison received ,145 electoral votes. Five days later M.' S. Quay of the Republican national com mittee, announced that Harrison would surely carry Indiana, New Tork and Connecticut by large majorities. But when the votes were counted Cleveland had carried Indiana by 7,125; New York by 45,518, and Connecticut by 6,370. So it is well to wait until after the election to bet for in the nature of the case all predictions are guesswork and often very poor guesswork at that. It is best to keep good humored in these closing days of the campaign and refuse to become stampeded. The overwhelming mass of citizens are sincere and patriotic for the good of the country and mean no evil. Whatever the issue it will be neither wholly good nor wholly bad. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe, We heard a compliment for Atchison today: a canvasser for a history of the world abusing the town. Up to the time a girl is twenty, she hasn't fully decided if she wiil be a frozen statue or a coy and clinging woman. When a married couple starts out to do light housekeeping, it means that they expect to get half of their living at "mother's." An Atchison man has a queer" assort ment on his burial lot: his first wife, from whom he was divorced, her mother, and his second wife. No one is surprised at learning that an Atchison girl who spells her name "Nellye Grayce." writes the name of her savior aa "Jesus Chryste." When a woman is away from home, she does not care particularly for long letters from her husband, but likes to receive them as an evidence of good faith. An Atchison, woman calls the spank ing she gives her children, a massage. The neighbors complain less when they hear the children scream, not knowing that the treatment is all given on. one spot. A census of Kansas' insane shows that ill health leads in causing insan ity. Love is therefore knocked out. The liver is more powerful than a dis appointed love affair. The liver alao causes more insanity than worry. In a neighboring town this is said to have happened: A woman was di vorced from her husband, and married another man. Now she is violently in love with her" divorced husband, and they are "carrying on" in a manner that is scandalous. Two Atchison girls lived side by side as babies. They played together as children, and went away to school to gether. They were inseparable, and1 such friends were never known here; but a man came along, and caused them to quarrel within two months. Now they "don't speak," and each says of the other that she is a snake in the grass. A Don't Love society has been formed in Atchison. Why not join it? It means an end to worry, an end to jealousy, an end to tears and sleepless nights. It means also an end to look ing at the one loved in the manner in which a calf looks at its mother's com missary department. It means an end to being ridiculous, an end to silly ex travagance. It means an end to a dis ease, the symptoms of which are Idle, mawkish and dangerous. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. An angry queen beats a king full. There is many an untied knot in a cord of wood. If ignorance is bliss it must be folly to be otherwise. Amusement is to the mind what sun shine is to the flowersi. Berths on sleeping cars do not neces sarily add to the census. The sharper a man is the harder it is to make a tool of him. There is usually a woman connected with all great undertakings. t There is nothing in words unless they are properly strung together. Tou can't tell by the size of the bill what the size of a ton of coal is. It is an easy matter for a wealthy young woman to husband her means. Poverty humbles pride. It's impos sible for a short man to carry his head high. The man Is a fool who imagines he can turn the current of a woman's will by force. It's a poor Welsh rarebit that doesn't make you regret having formed its ac quaintance. The race is not always to the swift; it often depends on the character of the man in. the judges' stand. The man who prefers other work In stead of the kind allotted to him, is apt to dislike any kind of work. lam.ii i n. nmvo lu but woman is doing evei I'liins in he power to rescue him from slavery.

He never did a stroke of work in his life." BOOK NOTES. Another edition of that charming little volume. Monsieur Beaucaire, has been announced by the publishers, McClure, Phillips Co. The demand has been steadily increasing, but it will not be ready from the press for about ten days, on account of the color printing which requires considerable time. Preparations for the dramatization of this popular story are, in the meantime, being rapidlv pushed forward, and Richard Mansfield will present it in New York next Janu ary. Several changes have been made, in the story, for the stage version, in order that the ending may be a happy one, both for hero and heroine. "String-town on the Pike." By John Uri Lloyd, one of the most Interesting series the"Bookman" has ever produced, has been announced by Dodd, Mead Co. "Stringtown" is the small town of Florence, about ten miles south of Cov ington, in northern Kentucky; and Lex ington Pike, the most celebrated highway in Kentucky is the "pike" of the story. Theauthorhasdrawn upon fiction con siderably in his descriptions of locality. The publishers expect a splendid career for this tale of Kentucky. (Through Kellam Book and Stationery Co.) Richard Harding Davis has produced another of his interesting war" books, "With Both Armies," treating on the Boer struggle. The book is profusely illustrated from photographs, and the descriptions of the siege and relief of Ladysmith are very vivid and hold the attention from the beginning. Charles Scribners' Sons. (Through Kellam Book and Stationery Co.) One of the best juvenile books pub lished by the well known firm of Rand, McNally Co., of Chicago, is "The Ban dit Mouse and other stories," just is sued. The stories are told in verse and it is artistically illustrated in colors by Bart. The text is by W. A. Frisbie. The third volume In the series of "American Historic Towns," has now been published by G. P. Putnam's Son". This one portrays the "Historic Towns of the Southern States," in the same delight ful manner, as the former ones rH the New England and middle states. The e.ii tor. Lyman P. Powell, is Indebted to his wife for very discriminating and valuable assistance, and to Prof. W. P. Trent, whose suggestions helped to make the work a more valuable one in many ways. This series is a very worthy one and prob ably makes the reader better acquainted with the places described than he would become should he visit them himself. (Through Kellam Book Stationery Co.) "The Tndlan Giver," and "The Smoking Car," two plays by Wm. Dean Howell, adds two more examples of his delightful humor to the little series of his comedies and farces already Issued by Houghton, Mifflin Co. They have been brought out in the same dainty style, as the two published In the spring. The story of the swindling blind man: the story of the woman prisoner, abused and then murdered by the prison gover nor: the story of a philosopher of revo lution: and one of Ruspo-Engllsh pol't'c tl life, make the book entitled "Peter-burg Tales." by Olive Garnett, just published by Houghton.

Tribute to One of the Republican Candidates. The Emporia Gazette has the follow ing handsome notice about Charles F. Scott, the Republican candidate for con-gressman-at-large. When the Kansas Republicans in state convention assembled nominated Charles F. Scott for congressman-at-large, they did a fitting thing almost unanimously. It was clearly the sense of the meeting that Scott was the man for the place; because whether they felt it consciously or not, the delegates at the convention saw that Scott ia more nearly representative of Kansas at her best than any other man who has been before the people on any ticket for many years. Now that isn't saying ha Is the smartest man or the honestest man or the hardest working man, though he is distinctly intelligent.honest and hard working it is saying that he is more like Kansas. He is like Kansas because he ia young and strong, be cause he has made his own way through adversity, because he has a clear, vigor ous, well trained mind, because his heart is clean and his hands unstained, be cause he is generally right and always sincere and earnest. Kansas is all of these things. Scott is a part and pro duct of Kansas, and Kansas at least the Kansas of this closing decade is a part and product of Scott. For nearly twenty years he has been editing the Iola Register. Until very recently It has been a weekly newspaper yet its in fluence on the politics of Kansas ha been as wide as that of any daily in the west because the Register has been, first of all, a fair paper, a just paper, a decent paper, a kindly written, con scientiously edited paper. The force of character, not the force of rhetoric, haa made the Register, and Scott's character is in the Register files aa plainly as a father's features are upon his child. Re publicans have found in the Register a safe text book, and Populists have found It a permanent lnjunjtion against their plans. When he went to the state senate he made bis character a matter of public record. His vote was cast on the side of common sense. He never stooped to demagoguey. He was effi cient. The things he started to do he did and did thoroughly. His short pub lic career was honorable and full of praiseworthy results. In his private life Scott haa had the average successful American career. His parents gave him a good education and when he was graduated from the State university his father gave him $10. That was his start In life. After that he worked with his hands and worked with his head and saved his money and kpt out of d'bt and got married and h i .1 w 1n ftronnrl him wiifall have ab"ut the start their fathr had, which is the best heritage in the world. Scott it the young man's candklat and in Kansas all men are young. For tin- fci&tv in full of courage snd hope and ambition.

Hints For the Army of Topeka Shoppers. Items of Interest to House keepers and Others. The observant Topeka -woman who loves to keep up with the styles and know what her sister women are wear ing, has decided that this is a year of "extremes." She studies the styles in the fashion books, in the stores and as worn by women at social functions, but after all there is no place like the Avenue to note the latest wrinkles in dress. She has observed that the skirts ex tend just to the shoe tops or else they are so long- that they sweep up the pavement, for it is utterly impossible to 'hold up the new flaring skirts. The new wraps, too. are noticeable; the jauntiest thing is the very short jacket, reaching just below the waist line, and very snug fitting:, but equally as swagger are the loose fitting, ungraceful box coats which clear the ground about a foot. The subject of decollete gowns also claims her attention and calls forth an amount of criticism. It is not often now adays that just the pretty round of the neck and the graceful curve of the arm below the elbow are shown; the sleeves either extend half way to the knuckles, and the neck is swathed to the ears with ribbons and laces and a stiff linen collar underneath, or else there are no sleeves, and the bodice is scarcely as high as decency demands, a tiny scrap of lace over the shoulder endeavoring to hold it in place. These are only a few of the things mentioned by the observant woman; she has noticed many more, some that are commendable, and others that should not be' tolei ated. The general conclusion drann by her, however, is that the wo man who adopts the medium styles this season is apt to have rather a common place aspect. Heard ia the Shops. White is one of the most fashionable colors for fall wear, and it is whispered that it will continue to be worn through out the winter. It is becoming to young and old alike but it is decidedly expen sive. Oloves, belts and ties which have lost their freshness may be tolerated with a dark costume but with a white one they detract from the dainty ap pearance. A white waist or dress and all of the accessories should be immac ulate to attain the desired effect. One of the fall fads is not to wear a jacket during the first cool days but to appear on the street in pretty French flannel waists instead. This is rather a sensible custom as the waists are pretty and jaunty and nearly every one tires of the jacket before it can be left off in the spring.. Some of' the newest winter jackets have stand up collars and re vers of fur as they did several years ago. They are still extremely short however. One of the latest fads is the tailor made gown of velvet. It sounds queer but they are really charming when prop erly made, though not serviceable as are the cloth ones. Laces will be used this season to trim everything, from chiffon to fur. India, China and soft taffetas are used this fall for skirt linings. Silks that rus tle are tabooed. Gleaned at the Milliners. It is yet too early to predict what will take precedence in the real winter mil linery, which, by the way, i3 always the forerunner of spring styles. The dom inating feature of the moment, however, is the introduction of gold trimming, which may possibly establish itself as a permanency for the winter. Cream and gold is a happy combina tion in all matters of dress, and espe cially in a toque. Such a one is rather voluminous and is made from a piece of cloth felt of a creamy tone, interwoven with narrow stripes of pale gold. The puffed brim is somewhat elevated over the left brow where un derneath reposes a big rosette of pale gold galon. This model is especially well suited to evening wear or for a bridesmaid's hat. An imported Parisian hat shows a new idea in the arrangement of the popular cock's plume. The shape is covered with green and brown shot velvet, leaving the crown rather full, at the base of which is a band of gold. The velvet is arranged to form three overlapping folds on the brim, which spread out upon the left side Into a full pouf. Be hind it is a plume of metallic cock's fea thers. Some of the new buckles for millinery use are rather plain as to general ou"t ltne. though frequently prettily chased with floral designs. Sometimes they pre sent two ornate rings, intended to en circle the base of knots of velvet, and joined together with a metal bar. Dead gold ornaments are effective and dressy looking on red, as well as on most dark and medium tones, while they form a welcome relief to the heaviness and mo notony of all black. Green is undoubtedly one of the most fashionable colors in millinery, partic ularly in medium and dark shades, with a touch of gray in them. Brown never theless holds its own in all shades, and deep toned gray is popular with young and old alike. Castor is among the novelties, and is a favorite from the fact that it blends so well with pink, blue or green. Deep yellow and orange velvet particularly in the grlaee varieties, is likely to be much used for trimming, and occasionally for making toques, which are tastefully draped with lace. Roses appear to be the only flowers for millinery garniture at present allow able by the mode, and these promise to be much in demand for the trimming of hats which are recognized as elegant. The roses are finely colored and beau tifully shaded and are made mostiy of velvet, soft satin and soft silk. They are large, but not of mammoth size, and some cf the most exquisite examples show petals of solft silk, veiled with sheer white gauze. A Dainty Accessory. A veil roller is a charming and useful toilet accessory, and if daintily made will be a delightful holiday present. Take a slender stick about sixteen to eighteen inches long. Roll a thickness of wadding evenly around it till it is about three inches in diameter. Cover it with any pretty light color silk, which may have the owner's name embroidered on it, and finish the ends by drawing up the silk with a narrow heading. Nearly every one has a favorite sachet powder, of which some should be scat tered on the wadding previous to cover ing the stick. Veils wound around on thiB roller will ROYAL COUSINS i -r.frS---;r -f t V Prince Max of Baden and Princess Marie Louise of Bruns wick and Luneburg. The young persons are to be married shortly.

A New Wrinkle For the Bride. At a recent wedding in Paris the bride amazed all beholders by wearing a long, voluminous tulle veil flecked with silver. The innovation pleased as much as it surprised, and it is not improbable that we shall be taking our last look at the winter bride-to-be through a mist of tulle and silver, says the Commercial Advertiser. The bride who introduced this novelty was a young woman of so cial importance, and her frocks were made by the "great artists' of Paris, and it is possible that the spangled veil was the inspiration of one of these faiseurs. and not an idea of the dem oiselle herself. The bridal wreath was I of myrtle and oi'ange blossoms. The gown was heavy ivory-white duchess satin, the trained skirt made in groups of tucks, the bodice having a bolero of Initial Rulers of the First r -ttA i "NrV"

The sleeves and revers were trimmed with the same em broidery and the yoke was of trans parent mousseline. There was one maid in attendance. She wore the newest of new frocks white peau de gant cloth, which name describes the fabric perfectly. It had a small bolero strapped with cloth and a larg.i collar of Roman point. The sleeves were rolled at the elbow, show ing undersleeves of crepe de chine. The stcirt was plain. She wore a hat of white beaver with one long white os trich plume and a knot of velvet ribbon as trimming and carried a bouquet of pink rosea. Sandalwood Incense Popular. Sandalwood fans are much prettier than they were when they were brought home to our grandmothers by their sea captain uncles. The sticks are heavily carved with flowers which stand out naturally, and the fan part is of satin, with Chinese or Japanese embroidery, in colors. Boxes and many other pretty things are also made of sandalwood. Sandalwood incense comes in a powder and is sold by the box, sixty cents or a dollar, according to size. It is burned in Heirs to Italy's Throne. S vj ill h Here are the latest portraits of the next in succession to the Italian throne. Helene are childless, while the Count of bachelors.

They are any number of pretty fancy shapes in which the incense burners come, but there are none so at tractive as some of the old incense burn ers which some people are fortunate enough to own and which are not in jured by use. When Buying Shoes. Do not trust to the appearance of your shoe after it has been fitted and fastened up. Try it before you buy it, not merely stepping upon it. but walking in it long enough to learn if it brings comfort to every part of your foot. The foot is smaller when you are sitting down, and a shoe that will seem the acme of comfort becomes an instrum ment of torture when your muscles ex pand from the weight of the body and the blood flows down to the feet, as it does In walking. I heard a woman corn- Australian Commonwealth. 5 EAHL OF HOPETOUN, First Governor General of Australia. plaining of her feet the other1 day and pitied her until she said that she was wearing a five shoe, when a six fitted her better. "Why do you go through such senseless misery?" I asked. "Be cause I will not wear such a large shoe, even if I have to remove a smaller one every ten minutes until it is broken in." The breaking in. by the way, means a stretching of the leather and cloth to accommodate the abused feet. That de stroys the shape of the shoe, but al lows the wearer the satisfaction of ad mitting that she wears a number five shoe. Funny, isn't it? Division of Labor. That Beatrice Harraden, author cf "Ships that Pass in the Night," has ideas of her own on what is and is not in a woman's province to perform, is shown by the following contribution of hers to the Humanitarian, on carpet sweeping: "While people talk of the desirability of protecting women from rough work, and from that calculated to overtax their physical powers, they overlook the fact that some branches of domestic work are equally trying. I do not think that sweeping carpets is suitable work Duke and Duchess of Aosta, who stand King Victor Emanuel III and Queen Turin and the Duke of Abruzzi are for women: it is a terrible strain cn them, arid yet n one ever thinks of legislating about that. There are many forms of domestic work which should be done by men. while on the other hand tilers- are certain things in business and trade which women can do a great deal better than men. a friends ranch in Australia, and can speak from experience of the excellent way in which domestic labor is distrib uted between the members of a house hold, where servants are often unob tainable. Perhaps the only 'help' is a Chinaman a perfect treasure so long aa it suits him to Ftay, but who at any moment is liable to a mysterious sum mons home. In such emergencies the husband assists in the housework, car ries the fuel, lifts the heavy things "And sweeps the carpets. Miss Harra den?" "Yes. if he is a gentleman. I have dene many kinds of work when on a ranch, even to making a fence and sad dling horses, but I draw the line at car pet sweeping, and always make a man do that." What One Woman Thinks. Post-mortem kindness doesn't count. Motber-lovfc is the highest type jaf affection. As a rule those who talk the most say the least. Scarlet gaiters are the latest thing for the golfing girl. The ones we love the best are fre quently the ones we treat the worst. According to a man, the only secret a woman can keep is that of her age. The people who pride themselves on being determined are sometimes only contrary. It is poor sort of consolation for people in trouble to say things might have been worse. Some women will feel very lonely in heaven if there is not a cook stove or a scrubbing brush there. Some women try very hard to win a man's love, and then seem to forget they must try just as hard to keep it. Care of the Finger Nails. The fingernail as it should be is about one and a half times as long as it is broad, and always shows a crescent at the base. Highly polished or pointed nails are not indicative of good tast?. They should have a natural gloss and be neatly rounded at the top. If the nails are rounded off with the file every day they will not need to be cut with the scissors, which is injurious. In order to kei p the crescent at the bas; well formed the skin should be pushed back from the nail with the towel, or, if necessary, with a blunt orange stick ev ery time the hands are washed. The or ange stick is excellent also for cleaning the finger nails .after they have been soaked a few minutes in warm water containing- a little lemon juice. If the nails show a tendency to brittl? ness a little soaking in warm olive oil after removing them from the lemon water and an pplications of cold cream at night will prove beneficial. in polishing the nails with the cha mois polisher neither paste nor powder should be used. Powder makes the nai!s brittle and paste gives an undesirably high color. After using the file to round the fing ernails in shape, it is well to use an em ery strip to remove any roughness that remains. Persons upon whom nature has not bestowed taper-shaped fingers some times try to attain thorn by the use of various devices. Metal cones reaching to the second joint, to be worn at night are supposed to secure this result, but unless one begins at an early age. when the fingeis are soft and amenable to ex ternal appliances, it is duubtful if they would produce the desired effect. A Dainty Idea. Little sachet-bags of thin silk may be bung unobtrusively upon the backs of chairs to supply a faint, elusive scent to a room, if that is liked. These should be filled with dried leaves of sweet geran ium, lemon verbena, and lavender mix ed, or of the lemon verbena alone if that delightful odor is preferred. These make sweet sachets for the handkerchief box or the linen closet and the bureau drawer. A Useful Knowledge. Every girl who is planning to be n housekeeper some time, and is busy learning how to be, wants among other things to learn how to prepare and pack a ciaintv luncheon. It is an important part of her training. She may want to pack a picnic luncheon, a luncheon for a traveler, or for some one whose daily duties take him away from home and where there is no opportunity to obtain a luncheon, so that he is dependent up on the luncheon basket, says the "Wo man's Home Companion." There are ail these to be provided for occasionally, be sides the school child. And she wants to know how to cater to this clientele. You instinctively know the one who pre pared the luncheon by the way the basket is arranged and what it con tains. To Remove Stains. Sprinkle salt on a wine stain and pour hot water through it until it is gone. To remove grass stains soak and rub the spots in water and cream of tartar. For mildew wet the spot with lemon Juice and expose to the sunlight. Or soak in water with chloride of lime, one tablespoonful to a gallon. Fruit stains may usually be removed by pouring boiling water through the stain.

Variety In Your Dessert Course. Many families would rather be de prived of almost any other dish than their dessert. No matter how well they have dined, the arrival of the "pudding" is considered necessary to give the final touch to the enjoyment ot the least. Dpa.prtK. like soups and salads, must be chosen in reference to class of more sub stantial dishes on the menu. The light est, daintiest creations, "trifles light as air," should accompany heavy roasts or a dinner of many and rich courses. Oth erwise the effect of the meal, as well as creature enjoyment, is spoiled by the discomfort of an over-rich and abundant HAVE AS MANY VARIATIONS AS POSSIBLE. It is strange that housewives do not have a larger list of dessert dishes to choose from, and avoid the monotony of serving the same puddings so frequent ly. There is Buch an endless variety oi! simple, cheap and dainty preparations that can be mastered by the least ex perienced and are sure to be pleasant surprises as well as agreeable changes to the family. In the winter, when fruit is scarce, it is more difficult for the housewife to furnish such a variety of the lighter, more delicate dishes. But a steamed or baked pudding need not nec essarily be rich or heavy. INEXPENSIVE PUDDINGS. Aside from the well known puddings and desserts, made from such inexpen sive materials as rice, tapioca, gelatine, etc, our usual list of recipt-s embrace on ly the richer, more expensive and trou blesome preparations that we do not want every day. They are, in fact, too rich and "good for human nature's daily j Far ine AWif? tt7T 1.' rr A

y fwn. food." Therefore the anxious housewife who wishes to please and at the same time look well after the expenditure, is always glad fur any sensible suggestions by which she may, without increasing the cost or labor, avoid the monotony of the restricted list of desserts in general use. Left over cereals and bread crumbs form the basis of many a delicious des sert. Economical Pudding Put any re mains of bread in a moderate oven and toast golden brown. Then roll to a fine powder while hot. To every four ounces of these add two ounces of brown sugar or golden syrup, two ounces of sultanas or dried cherries, half a pint of milk mixed with same quantity of boiling wa ter. Pour the milk and water over the crumbs, stir well anj let stand until crumbs are soft, then add other iiired ierts and a little grated nuimeg or all spice. Pour the mixture into tie dishes well buttered, ai d, bake in a moderate oven 20 or 30 minutes. Serve with cur rant jelly sauce or lemon butter. Hake-day Pudding This is deliclom and very simple. m baking day t;ike a deep pudding basin, eartii-nware is the best, fill it two-thirds full of sliced, rath er tart apples, acid just water enough to prevent apples burning. Then teke a piece of bread dough, about a pound, and pull or lightly roll out into a round sheet about half an inch thick. Lay over the apples. Cover with a deep dish that will allow dough to rise. Stand on Imok of range where heat is moderate, and cook the apples slowly about three quarters of an hour. Turn out ti e steamed bread, which should be as light as sponge, hut not browned. Heap ap ples lightly on top. dust with granulated sugar and grated nutm"g and serve at once with rich, sweetened cream. General Satisfaction Take any piece of stale cake, unsalled soda wafers, and even coarse br ad crumbs, place these in alternate layers in your pudding dish, spreading each layer with any left-over jams, jellies or preserves that cannot otherwise be used. Whn pan is nearly full pour over a custard mixture mail.' with one rim of milk. y. Iks of two eggs, four level teuspooufuls sugar and half a teaspoonfu) of salt.

-r v -r r r LRTE FASHIONS FROM -PARIS I -.I -.1. .1.- I.- PARIS, Oct. 13. The close of the Paris exposition fixed for Nov. 5, unless some change in plans ad vances it farther into the year will leave Paris a comfortably quiet place after the invasion of hordes of sight seers. Paris can congratulate itself on having been hospitable in the extreme, even to the barbarians. All the at tending notables were wined and dined and feted most civilly. This bounty ex tended from the most lofty royalty to the most humble foreign buyer, bent upon business and sightseeing, and with his wife and family in tow. No wonder after many dinners and receptions for monsieur's friends ma dame is a bit tired of entertaining and glad to hurry through with her festiv ities. One cannot be social on a large scale without slighting something ei ther one's guests, one's dinners or one self, which last perish the thought! As a consequence, dinner has come to be a sort of victual chase, the hostesses now allowing three minutes for a course, and then motioning to the wait er to swish the dishes from under the noses of their amazed foreign guests. In explanation of the haste, madame lets it be known that it is the fashion to dine thus in a mad hurry, the short er the time in which the hostess con ducts the dinner chase the better sport end the more entitled is the hostess to social distinction. The dinner chase has come to be A recognized social function, but it is only the expert diner that may safely ac cept an invitation to one, for the small est time devoted to conversation means the sacrifice of some dainty tidbit. One very elaborate dinner of ten courses was recently served in 35 minutes. The Parisian theaters hope to enjoy an increase in patronage after the close of the exposition, which absorbed the attention of the amusement loving pub lie to a very large extent. Very few of the visitors from America were inter ested in Parisian dramatic art or aware of the fact that the plays afforded a double entertainment. The toilets of the leading actresses of the Parisian stage are designed by the great dress making housf s with a view to introduc ing through them new modes. There fore, at the theaters one has a chance to see many things which the modistes ta i 4 S 5 0 H REARRANGING i M ONOTONT in one's surroundings is a source of much of the ennui which overtakes the average American once inside the portals of his own heme. Nor is the ennui peculiar to the men of the family. The women who stay indoors nearly all the day are more in danger of acquiring the dis temper than the masculine contingent, which is in the house only from even ing until morning, Sundays excepted. Those nations whose people live very much out of doors are accounted the most brilliant and light hearted. This condition may be ascribed to the tonic effects of fresh air and ttf the constant change of scene, which induces a pleas urable activity of the mind, consequent to its efforts to adjust itself to new sur roundings. Therefore, in every house there should be some modification of the fur nishings of the living rooms to corre spond with the change in seasons. Ev ery sitting room should be provided during the summer with light mattings, thin white curtains and bamboo furni ture if possible, for, as the mind great ly influences the body, if furnishings can affect the temperature a few de grees it is desirable that they should do so. For winter a room should have warm, rich tones. The harmonies of autumn foliage are reliable guides to the most pleasing shades for the time of frosts and cold. For an apartment that is part sitting room, part library and part parlor, a rich tone of golden brown will be pleas ing. If the floor is stained, it should be well covered with soft, warm tinted rug's. The walls may be covered with cartridge paper in some shade of gold en yellow that wiil harmonize with the deep frieze of dark figured paper above. The ceiling, covered with the same stamped or figured paper, will look well laid off in square panels. A hand some border should divide ceiling and frieze. Around the lower part of the frieze should be run a narrow molding, with another one just high enough above it to accommodate cabinet photographs. Along the panels may be ranged irreg ular groups of portraits of celebrities, scenes, copies of favorite paintings or pictures of favorite animals. In a "room of small proportions and no novel architectural features a great deal may be done by the use of grill work. For instance, when a dining room opens from the sitting room, a panel of grill work extending to the door Xrame en one side wlU give a pleasing r T- r -i r- f l T .t. -.1. -.1. -.1.--.!. are not exhibiting In their showrooms. At the opera, of course, the gown must in a measure conform with the fashions of the time represented by the plot, but Parisians are not so particular about such things as are some of the other na tions, and the gown is more likely to be an adaptation of the fashion of the pe-" riod than a copy. Mile. Beval, who, by the way, is to appear in grand opera in America un der the management of Mr. Grau, re cently wore a stunning gown in the first act of "Le Cid," in which she as sumed the role of Chimena. It was a princess gown, with a wide band of jeweled embroidery encircling the throat and falling down the front. The silk robe fell open at the sides to dis close a very full underrobe of plaited mousseline de soie. TJndersleeves of the mousseline de soie were clasped to the arms by bands of jeweled embroid ery just a little above the elbows, from which points they fell in flowing dra- THE SITTING ROOM f J FOR THE WINTER. 44 .41 suggestion of ample vistas beyond.

One of the smartest frocks which I have seen upon the boulevards was of serge, very coarse and brick red in color. It was fashioned with a short jacket, close fitting and stitched. Under the jacket was worn a plaited red cambric shirt made with a turned down collar of glazed red linen, with a tie of soft India silk, red, orange and dark green. With this costume a hat, trimmed with a pheasant's wing, was worn Over a simple coiffure. The long cloaks of the winter are made of every sort of material and are of every color. A handsome coat just completed by Doucet is of pearl gray broadcloth, laid in stitched plaits that reach three-quarters down the coat and then open out into a spreading fullness. walls, the room is comfortably furnish ed. Wicker is used a great deal now, and for winter service chairs of this material may be made soft and cozy by supplying seats and backs of cushions covered with fabrics to match the other decorations. An appropriate touch may be Intro- duced into the color scheme of the gold en brown room by the use of a gold em broidered drapery over the mantel. Gold is to be extremely fashionable this winter in dress, and as it is considered very chic to adapt one s home decora tions to that of one s costuming, this hint is not to be lightly put aside. For a more formal room, such as a parlor, another decorative seneme is suggested. Furniture of the gilded sort upholstered in light stuff is quite suit able for summer and winter. A few more substantial chairs,- added to give tone to the apartment: a fanciful di van that, with the addition of a- few pillows, may be transformed into a couch: a pretty picture upon an easel, small tables holding bric-a-brac and a few other inconsequential bits of furni ture, and one's parlor is amply furnish ed for persons of moderate means. In most houses the parlor is the re ceiving room for guests, and as such the French fashion that accords it on ly such furniture as its use requires is the idea to follow In fitting It up. affording ample space for the volumi nous underdraperies and ruffles. The revers and collar are lace trimmed over gray satin, the collar cut with the high, winglike flare that i3 so modish. An other handsome theater cloak was con structed of fine red rep and was lined with light, quilted silk. The upper part of the coat had a fitted applica tion of narrow plaits, ending above the waist and crossed by a band of black velvet, ending under the collar in bows of white swan's down. The sleeves were guiltless of decoration save the band of swan's down at the wrist. A long cloak, loose quilted and silk lined. made of dark poplin and trimmed with a high, flaring fur collar, was especially chic. Plaited skirts seem destined for au- tumn and winter wear, for some modi I fication of this style has been adopted by all the great designers. One mode shows the back of the skirt laid in plaits.- Another mode will be that of the side plaits behind a front box plait on an otherwise undecorated skirt. An odd fashion shows several side plaits crossed over the hips and brought down the side of the gown in front to form part of some ornamental device. Striped papers are being adopted, and for the average parlor one of these in cream and crimson makes a good back ground, with a cornice border of gold. The pictures upon the wall should be choice, but not necessarily numerous. Better a fine print neatly framed than a cheap painting gaudily mounted. In selecting furniture for any room it should be borne in mind that heavy plushes and tapestry upholsteries will De very unsatisfactory for summer use, although with dainty linen covers their ponderous frames may be made to look comparatively neat and cool. Heavy upholsteries of that sort, however, are great nests for oust, and as the house Keeper should not only aim at neatness and suitability in the decoration of her apartments, but also strive to have them as hygienic as possible, it is a wise plan in this age of disease germ fearing to avoid anything that will even in thought cater to the spread of contagion. HELEN STEVENS. Belgrinn Soip. Weigh, after peeling, two pounds of turnips a..J cut them into dice. Sim mer for 20 minutes in one quart of wa ter, with four ounces of butter, a des sertspoonful of sugar, pepper and salt. Then, add a cupful of flour, blended with a quart of milk. Boil for 20 min utes and serve with dice of fried bread. Many skirts are plaited only part way down their length and then flare out at or above the knees. Rich, heavy fabrics, like velvet and fur, trimmed with delicate laces and gau, will be accounted especially fashiona ble this winter. It will be a time of contrasts in material not in color. The use of lace on fine cloth which has been built into a sumptuous tailor made frock is not unusual. One very smart gown, made with a bolero, boasted a lace continuation of the bolero and a wide collar, over which fell pointed directoire revers. Bolero and skirt were both trimmed with narrow white silk cord. The use of all manner of fanciful de vices to lighten the stiffness of the win ter tailored frock may be expected, if one may judge by the autumn models. Fancy a gown of biscuit cloth, fash ioned with pointed bodice, and a skirt very full over the hips, but with the front garnished with stitched strap pings of cloth! A chemisette of tucked white silk is contrasted with a full gilet of dark blue silk spotted with white. The full sleeves have added puffed un dersleeves of the silk as well. Black and white furs are to be the fashionable sort this year. Persian lamb, broadtail, astrakan, ermine and white fox, with mink, sable and seal, will be worn. The smartest neck pieces are made with high collars, wide revers, and may be fitted to many jackets. Fur will be used even for the trimming of gowns. A most effective example of the fur garnished costume is one just finished for a Russian lady. It is of bottle green cloth, covered with lines of fine gold braid and gold embroidered caracal appliques. The waistcoat of mignonette cloth is covered with lines of gold braid, laid over a chemisette of tucked ivory silk, the collar of which is trimmed with gold embroidery and car acal. The short coats of tucked taffeta worn this autumn have many admirers. They set off the graceful lines of a svelte figure to perfection and are the acme of richness with an afternoon gown. Some of them are trimmed with a touch of fur, and some are brightened by lines of gold and by gold buttons. Marquise buttons of steel and a mar quise buckle make fetching adjuncts to the silk coatees. Ribbon velvet trims tailor made frocks as straps across appliques or in set pieces. Rosettes of the ribbon are seasonable novelties in trimming. These rosettes are made to resemble flowers and are sometimes combined with pieces of lace that form petals. CATHERINE TALBOT. Fancy Buttons, Buttons are extravagant and fanci ful. Parisian diamonds and old French enamel, or anything really good, can be utilized for this purpose. The little coatees, made either double or single breasted, require buttons of some kind, either three at each side or three at one side, though, if they be very large, only two need be used. Then plain serges and tweeds are fin ished with velvet collars and curious gun metal buttons suited to this style of garment. Dull gray, rough silk but tons, like those used on men's coats, have a chic of their own, and are unde. niably good taste. I,onK Stemmed It oa r on ,11a t Some novelty hats are being trimmed with two immense roses and nothing else. These roses have stalks about 20 inches long. The flowers are placed in the front of the hat, either on one side or in the center, and then the long stalks are arranged round the crown like ribbons. The effect Is certainly very charming. DAINTY CASSEROLE OF RICE AND GREENGAGES. Bell some rice in milk until it is perfectly soft and the milk is all ab sorbed. A few minutes before taking it from the stove add a tablespoonful or two of desiccated cocoanut, a piece of butter and castor sugar to taste. As soon as the rice is cool fill a china souffle mold (or a round cake tin will answer the purpose) with it, pressing it tightly. When the rice is qrite cold, turn it out, and with a knife mark a circle round the top about an inch from the edge. Then very carefully remove most of the rice from the middle of the shape so as to leave it hollow. Stew some canned greengages in thick sirup which has been colored red, and when they are cold remove the stones. Fill up the molded ricewiththe fruitand cover the latter with whipped cream. The rice which is left over can be util ized the next day as follows: Beat an egg to a stiff froth and mix it with sufficient boiling milk to bring the rice to the right consistency and stir well. Butter a deep pie dish, pour the rice ito it and bake it in a moderately hot oven until the top of the pudding is evenly browned. If the oven is the right temperature, the pudding when done will ba a creamy custard with rice. Apple DnniplinKfl, Take some finely sifted flour and half the quantity of suet, very finely shred ded and well freed from skin. Mix the suet and flour and add a pinch of salt and a little baking powder, with fcufll cient milk to make it of the right con sistency. Knead it well and roll it out to the thickness required. Divide this paste into as many pieces as are re quired for the dumplings. Take some large sized apples, peel, core and sprin kle them with moist "sugar; then Insert into the cavity of each a little red cur rant jelly. Cover the apples with the paste and join the edges carefully. Tie each dumpling up in a floured cloth and boil for about an hour. Untie them carefully, and turn them out without breaking them. Apple Charlotte. Cut some slices of bread about a quarter of an inch thick, butter them on both sides and lay some of them at the bottom of a well buttered pie dish. Fill the dish up with apples, cored and sliced; add brown sugar to taste, two cloves and the zest and juice of a lem on. Put some more buttered slices of bread on the top of the npples and cover them with apple peelings to pre vent their burning. Put the dish in a moderate oven for a couple of hours. At the time of serving remove the apple peelings, and turn the pudding on to a hot dish. Cake tins, dishes, etc.. should always be thoroughly dried over the stove be fore being put away. A NEW DEPARTURE IN FEATHER BOAS. There Is an entirely new departure In feather boas. The new boa is a sort of mixed affair, like all fashionable fursj and neck trimmings this year. The up. per section is made of the orthodox o V LA yH'f 'r w trich feathers: but this only reached about to the bust, and from there down the boa is subdivided Into a mass of tails of irregular length. These art made of short pinfeathers from the breast or stomach of the bird and are ornamented at the ends with feather balls and tassels. Sometimes a black ostrich boa is trimmed with green and black cock's feathers. Gray is still the favorite color, but a new shade of rus set promises to be much worn with the stylish castor and "cafe au lait" gowns. Hand Painted Dinner Gown. The groundwork of a recently design ed dinner dress was of white gauze on which was a very faint design of mauve wistaria, the underpart of the tunlo skirt being .composed of a series of beautiful lace frills. The hand painted wistaria was accompanied by raised velvet leaves. The bodice of gauze and lace was becomingly swathed, fastened at the waist with a narrow bund of black velvet and on the left shoulder with two velvet roses. The small green velvet leaves also appeared In the lace bertha, while the sleeves of lace ruch. ed to the elbow and were finished with three rows of tiny bebe ribbon caught with diamond clasps. for Karlr Mornlngr.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1900. 15 HOME OFTHE BASS Hare You Ever Sought Theni In the Cottonwood? If Not You Hare Overlooked a Kesort of the Striped Beauty. A DAY WITH THE FISH Fisherman Eelates His Exper iences on This Kiver. Idyll of an Autumn Period on a Kansas Stream. Have you ever cast a line for black bass in the Cottonwood river? If not then you have missed a rare treat. At no place in Kansas does this branrh of the finny tribe abound in more plentiful numbers nor in more cunning gameness than in tie deep pools that lie at the foot of its many shallow ripples. The greater portion of the second week of October was a dreamy, drowsy period that was blotted out by two lishers drifting down with the sun and the shadows in" Chase county. Indian sum mer hung over the river and the woods roundabout were gorgeous in purple and scarlet. All along the banks the huge three pounder la landed in the boat. It is glorious ."port; it. is life worth living. For miles these mute evidences of thj river's power are strewn along the banks on either side. Some still green; others shrunken and decayed into mere snass and stumps. On these logs on sunny days turtles lie in numberless quantities. They are of the hard shell variety and reptilean and hideous in ap pearance. The wee baby turtles are rather inclined to stare saucily at you until the boat pokes ita nose almost against them when they slide, with a not ungraceful motion, into the waters below. The red fox squirrel is in evidence when the conversation Is low and darts up and down the trees and over the soft carpet of dead leaves gathering and storing away his winter food, Below the falls at the big bend a huge blue crane, solitary and sublime in appearance, has made his home and with the approach of the boat rises and flies lazily ahead of the fishers, not seriously alarmed but always out of gunshot. Hunches of cat tle from the feed lots made a pretty picture standing knee-deep at the fords swishing off the flies witli their wetted tails. They scrambled to the bank as the boat drifted by only to wade back after the disturbing element had passed. The current tarries the boat along; an oar is- used only when a stop is nec essary to cast a line under a drooping willow or near a promising snag.

The carriage came down the street at a lively rate. The women yelled and screamed at the driver and finally stop ped him. They decorated the carriage with white streamers until it looked aa if it were ready for a flower parade.

How peacefully the waters flow.

Miles and miles away towards its source heavy rains cause the now clear ouiet stream to beeomo a raging torrent and its tawney waters go sweeping around the curves and bends gnawing at the soft banks.

It isn't often that those who try to embarrass a bride and groom with rice, odl shoes, white ribbons ajid other non sense have the joke turned on them much to their own discomfiture but ol dry. They had a Jolly time while they we4e rained in. They waited for the clouds to clear away and did not. start for town until It was quite dark. The man who drove the only single buggy in the party was the only one who knew" the road. He started out ahead. The other carriages followed him. Driving through the dark woods the bugy, which the rest were following, grot some distance ahead. When the carriages reached the main r.jad the driver of the first carriag-e saw a buggy a little way ahead on the m:un road and turned to follow it. They drov. along for some time and still the lights of the city could not be seen. "Let's enquire how far it Is to town," suggested one of the party. A stop was made at a farm house and, the enquiry made. "Al ,ut eleven miles,"' was the answer to the question. "That fellow's crazy," said one of the party. "It isn't any 11 miles to town." After driving a short distance farther another stop was made at a farm house. "How far It is to town?" was asked of the man who answered the knock at the front door. ".lust 13 miles," was the answer. "Well, is everyone In this neck of the woods crazy?" said one of the party. The third stop was made and the third time tiie question was a-ked. "About 14 miles and a half," said the farmer. By that time the party decided that they had followed the wrong buggy and turned back over the road thev had trav eled. The party reached town about mid night muddy and wet and out of humor.

From the Washington Post-J What a miserable November night! The gaslight was reflected in the deep puddles of the street. A wretched indi vidual was making hi3 way with stum bling steps along the sidewalks, at times knocking his shoulder against the store windows and doors, which were al ready losed. The young fellow, who did not look as if he was much over 20 years old, was the butt of ridicule and anger of a few belated passers-by. It was thought that he was drunk. In re ality it was hunger and intense fatigue which caused his form to sway to and fro and his steps to totter. From his earliest childhood Leo Eer nis was convinced that he was a poet. In the school of his native city, where he was required to learn a few sentences, for he was of a good family, he was known as the laziest pupil. Nevertheless he would often surprise his teachers with compositions In prose and poetry that astounded them. When he was 17 years of age he was refused the baccalaureate because he could not give the exact dates of the Feloponnesian war, so necessary in prac tical life. The old priest, however, who was a philanthropist on a small scale, as naively as a child dismissed him with his blessing and predicted a brilliant future for him. The boy had presented him an autographic volume of his first poems. They were effusions of the month of April, as sweet and tender, as the blossoms of an almond tree. As soon as Leo felt freed from the fetters of the school bench he rushed to Paris. Here he lived as so many others, on ideals, hopes, and poor meals. Let the learned decide whether cheap sausage can produce an elegy and whether headcheese can inspire sonnets. At least so much is certain, that young poets are usually compelled to be con tented with such food. Leo Bernis, in accordance with tra dition, first took his manuscript to a professional publisher. After a period of two months he received a brief note from the literary critic of a concern. It contained a few words of praise of the young poet and at the close he was told that the house was prepared to publish his "copy" provided the poet would pay the costs of publication. Leo rejoiced greatly that his poems had been read and that their merit was acknowledged. His grief that he could not raise the money to secure a place for them in the literary market was the greater. He eked out a precarious ex istence by a few hours daily of mind destroying coyping work. Even then he had to keep to blood sausage and hash, and he regarded a cutlet a week as an expensive luxury. In short, he led a verv noble and pure life. Now, honor bright, my dear, well-fed literary con temporaries, who of us can not remem ber the time when he had barely forty sous to his name and only dreamed of honest, unselfish art? Nevertheless, poor Leo was to be pit ied, indeed. His income from copying work and private instruction grew less as the months passed away. The climax of his salary was reached when a small hotel in which he had been given lodg ing and breakfast in exchange for two hours' daily instruction failed. For three days he had walked the streets, for three nights he had not slept and not a morsel of food had passed his lips for nearly 48 hours. His last break fast consisted of a slice of bread and a sausage. He was the guest of a friend who had not quite reached hi3 state of penury. Leo was too proud to beg, but he re membered a friend who owed him a few sous, and he determined to go to him and ask him to help him out. He had spent a few hours in a public reading room to warm himself, and as he stepped into the street to walk two hours he found that he was almost too weak to move. The blood rose to his temples. He was dizzy from nausea. It was with supreme effort that he stumbled along. As he turned a corner he suddenly heard a coarse female voice addressing him. "Well, my dear blonde chappie, won t you even look at a girl?" He turned around mechanically and looked at -the speaker. She was a healthy brunette, past the youthful pe riod. She was bareheaded, wore a dark dress and a black cloak. She might have been taken for a working gii'l, but the rouge on her cheeks and the painted evebrows betrayed her. "The voung poet had heretofore only loved the fairies and princesses of his poetic dreams, and this person inspired him with terror. He wanted to rush away, but his strength failed him. Alter stag gering a few steps farther he had to lean against a wall. "My dear, mv dear, what is the matter with you? lMa you taJie a drop too much?" The girl had followed him, and now stared at him with a brazen face. The vouth felt as if he would fall in a faint. Cold sweat was dripping down over his forehead. "Please let me alone." he murmured. The expression on the face of the girl suddenlv changed. Her big. dark eye3 re garded the unfortunate young man with deep pity. "Are vou sick?" It seemed as if the question overcame all his pride. The tone was tender, as if his own mother or sister had uttered it. Closing his eves, he said, sighingly: "I have not eaten a thing since early yesterday morning. I am hungry and weak." The woman hardly gave him time to finish the sentence. She grasped him by the arm and almost carried him to an open door, which led into a small apart ment in the basement. It was a poorly furnished room. A table, a couple of cheap chairs, and a bed. with a coarse cover, completed the furnishings. The dim light came from a candle in an old tin candlestick. Leo sank into a chair, covered his-face with both hands, and wept. Grief over his miserv and shame over the situation caused the tears. The girl also sobbed with emotion, and two large tears rolled down her painted cheers. She hurried to a cupboard, took from it a tablecloth, a bottte of wine, a loaf of bread, and a large piece of meat. As he began to stammer his thanks and offer to explain his condition, she interrupted him, saying: "Don't trouble yourself to entertain me now. Eat. for God's sake, before you do anything else." As soon as she noticed that he was eat ing ravenously she had the delicacy to leave the table and busy herself with the fire and other things. To herself she con tinued to murmur, "Poor fellow, poor devil." Finally she returned to the table, feel ing that his modesty would stop him from satisfying his appetite. She placed another large piece of meat on the plate and Tilled his glass with fresh wine, .iust as a mother would care for her son. Then she cried suddenly, "How stupid In me. How can I expect to think that you are satisfy your hurreer without having something warm. What do you say to a cup of coffee? Hey?" Without awaiting his reply she took the coffee mill and began to grind the beans. While thus employed he observed her more closely. She was a woman of the lowest class, with rough hands and coase features. Cd"u!d she ever have been beautiful and attractive? Leo Eernis was a poet and was des tined to become a great man. He re garded her with moist eyes, in which ten derness and gratitude weie refected. And while she poured out the coffee and for company's sake took a cup herself he asked hr name. She did not answer at once. She re mained standing on the opposite side of the table as if she were bashful, crossed her arms and reflected. At last she said: "W hy should I tell you my name? Be tween me, a cast-away, and you. a re soectable young man." there can be no bind in common. What I have done i not worth speaking of. and I know thnt though you are now unhappy, you wi 1 soon see more fortunate days. Tou are young and don't vou give up courage. What is your business?" A bitter smile spread over Leo's face. "J have written verses," he said. Without displaving the least astonish ment, she continued: "Ah, I understand. Tou compose songs. Tou find it hard to secure sales for them. Don't worry. Have patience. Tou want to know my name? Well, they call me Margot. You will not sing about me, for there are so many fairer creatures. Should you take a notion to do so you will have to call me Marguerita." Then followed a long silence. He felt that it was time to go. As he stood on the threshold to bid her adieu Leo Bernis had a golden Idea. As a true poet he could not act otherwise toward one whose soul appeared beauti ful to him on account of the human love and kindness displayed. Like a true knight he took her coarse, black-nailed hand, the hand of the outcast, and bow ing respectfully, pressed upon it a kiss. To him it was the hand of a queen. Shoots by Centrifugal Force. From the London Times.3 Our Newcastle-on-Tyne correspondent informs us that a new machine gun of a novel character has been invented by James Judge, a well known engineer of Newcastle, who thus descriDes it: The gun is a patent centrifugal quick firing machine gun; it is five feet high and weighs about five hundredweight. It is intended for battleship, earthworks, and garrison purposes. The motive power is electricity transmitted to a motor attached to the side of the gun. The motor causes a disk to revolve at a very high rate of speed. The bullets, which are introduced into the interior of the disk at the axle, travel along curves in the interior to the circumfer ence, and are there impelled through a barrel. It is claimed that this disk will rotate, under the influence of the motor, at the rate of 12,000 revolutions a minute and will eject shots from the muzzle of the gun with an initial velocity of 2,000 leet a second. One of thechief character istics of the gun is that it will maintain a continuous fire. If necessary a shot may be discharged at every half revolu tion, but in practice one shot every fourth revolution will be found sufficient. The bullets are spherical and measure 3-16 inch in diameter. The following are the results of the tests already made with the gun: Eigh teen thousand rounds of shot at the rate of 3.000 a minute have been discharged from the gun. These shots consisted of nickel steel, some of brass (as used in France), lead and chilled metal. It was tested seven times privately, no motor was used, nor is one attached to the gun, although the gun is-constructed for an electric motor. The tests were made by means of a belt driven by a steam en gine. Under these conditions the velocity required and which it is maintained an electric motor will produce was not, of course, attained, but the practical work ing of the gun was fully demonstrated. A long range could not be had because of the necessity of secrecy, and the testing was done in a covered shed at Blyth dry docks. A steel target, 3-32-inch thick, was shat tered, the disk of the gun revolving at a speed of 2,500 revolutions per minute. From the penetration of the target it is calcu lated that at a distance of 400 yards a penetration of a circular Character will be effected of a place 7-16-inch thick un der the influence of an electric motor. There is no heating of the barrel of the gun, because of the continuous stream of cold air which is impelled through it by the turning of the disk. The disk itself is also free from heating on account of the special bearings on which it is construct ed. These bearings are a highly compli cated mechanical contrivance, and are similar to those used in Parsons' tur bines, which can revolxe at the rate of 22.000 revolutions a minute, and Levall's motor, which revolves at the rate of 30.000 a minute. To test the gun thoroughiv it will be necessary to affix a motor which will be a 6-horse power motor coupled di rect onto the shaft. DIDN 'T WANT SYMPATHY. From the Chicago News. A native of the mountain district of Kentucky had occasion to go on a jour ney recently, and, before starting, took out an accident policy. He chanced to be one of the victims of a railway col lision, and the next morning his widow, armed with a newspaper report in which his name was mentioned among the killed, called on the agent of the insur ance company and demanded th"b money. "But, madam," said the agent, "we will have to have more definite proof be fore we can pay your claim." "More proof!" exclaimed the bereaved woman. "Why, he's dead'rn a door nail, I reckon." "Possibly, my dear madam," answered the polite agent, "and I am very sorry." "Sorry! Tou are sorry, are you?" "I certainly am, madam. I sincerely sympathize with you in your sad afflic tion." "But hain't you goln' to give me the money what's comin' to me?" "Not today. Tour claim will have to be investigated first." "That's just like a good-fer-nothin' man," angrily retorted the bereaved wo mon. "Tou all are mighty perlite 'bout things so long as they hain't costin' you nothin', but the minnet a poor, lone fe male does git a chance to git holt of a leetle spendin' money, you got tb.9 gall to say your"re sorry." And the indignant female slammed the door behind her as she left the office in search of additional proof. AcfsJjejjjfify andfrotopty.

From the London Globe. 1 The etiquette of shooting In England is sometimes a little difficult to fathom, and in some resjects is a little absurd, especially in the most artificial form, the shooting of reared pheasants. Hut Eng lish etiquette, even In its stringency, is as nothing to the form which prevails in Germany.
