C., Jan. 5.Congress man Chat les Curtis of Kansas was among the public men who called at the White House and discussed China's acceptance of the joint note of the powers. Mr. Curtis said it was a good begin ning for the new century. He hoped that the negotiations would now pro gress rapidly and end satisfactorily to all concerned. He believed that much of the future in many walks of life would depend on settling matters in China. so that there would be no repetition of the horrors of the closing year. "The west is glad," said Mr. Curti "tha,t the century ends with good pros pect of the settlement of the difficulties in China, and hopes the new century Will see speedy peace in the Philippines, with many years of prosperity for the United States." In the Indian appropriation bill pending- in Congress there are allowances of $123,000 for the Haskell school at Law rence. and $20,860 for the Kickapoo school.

"Jerry Simp son's state," "the grasshopper state," "t he sunflower state," "the cyclone state," "the Wild and wooly west," and such like expressions one always hears when he says he is from Kansas. IA-hy is it that the people of the east so often speak slightingly of Kansas? Her ay eage standing. before the 1,vorld is sec ond to no state. It gives a Kansan real pleasure to say to the critics of his state that it is the home of the famous Twentieth Kansas, and of Funston, the state that has raised the greatest wheat crop ever known, and, last and most im portant, that 27.87 of her population is in school.

Its Causes Discussed by Bishop Potter Before City Club. New York. Jan. 5.1-Bishop. Potter spoke on "The Causes of Our Present Municipal Degeneration," at a ililf-eting: of the City club last night. The bishop began his address by making a plea for tolerance. He said that conditions as they existed were largely the result of the complexities of 'human nature. He was not prepared to maintain. Ile said, that the police as a body were corrupt and said he believed that there were among them as many stien who had as pirations toward good and aims that were, commendable as among any other body of men of the same size. "But they are the creatures of a sys tem," said the bishop. "I did not come here to say pleasant things and.the sys tem exists largely because of your in difference and mine. The solution of the problem lies in individual activity and vigilance. I am sorry for one thing, my friends, and that is that, in spite of tbe approval with which my remarks made in St. Paul's chapel seemed to have met with at the time, they really fell abso lutely dead. What have any of you done along the line of personal vigilance in spite of your evident desire to bring about changed conditions? You will never get results until you get up the proper spirit of personal sacrifice and vigilance. "Nothing better was ever done by Mr. Roosevelt when he was police commis sioner than the nightly- tours he maue through the city watching the police and seeing that they performed their duty. It brought the men to a sense of feeling that they- were being watched. Every man charg-ed with duties ought to -have the same feeling-. How I would like to ask you inen here bow far any- ene of you has troubled himself to observe the discharge pf duty by th:- members of the police force. "A well known judge said to me sev eral days ago that the men of the police force are bound together by a kind cf loyally that makes it incumbent on eacri one to see- that hio brother gets out of trouble, no matter of what kind. "It is the duty, it seems, of every man of the 'brass buttoned' to help a 'pal. Do you recognize what a system that involves? It means that you must bring-wrong-doing home to the culprit in such a way that it will be impossible for this kind of loalty to be of avail and it is impossible to accomplish this without personal vigilance and. constant watehing. "I tell you, my brothers, that it does not make a, copper's difference whom you put in or whom you put out. l';,) one man can create a force loyal to duty unless behind that man or that com missioner there is the pressing force of public opinion whioh makes hint fe that his position would be intolerable unless he did what was right. Organi zation, soordination of forces, the,cs are the things that are most needed and it is along these lines that the victory must lie. "The element of indifference, however, is not the only one 'against which we have to contend. There is also that of cupidity, that greed and passion to get out of every office every passible emolu ment, and a powerfol organization at the top that allows this- to go on. "I suppose that it will be no surprise to you to learn that before the letter in regard to Herlihy and Cross, which I wrote was sent to, the mayor, I was ap proached by a great many people, emissaries representing all sorts of in terests, to know what sacrifice it would be necessary for them to make to sati ate my desire for revenge. I desire to disclaim here any fefling of that kind, or, in fact, any feeling arising out of the personal discourtesy shown ta one of my clergymen; tha,t was in itself a small matter. "The point lay in the spectacle of a person going to the men for protection who were supposed to be conservers of the laws and the peace of the com munity and being deliberately insulted. It was the spectacle of the police rang ing themselves on the side of crime and degradation against the decent element of the community, that was intolerable. "Among those who came to me was a man who said that he represented Mr. Croker. He asked me if I would be satisfied to drop the matter if Captain Herlihy and Inspector Cross were be headed. I told him that this was not a question of men. These men did but the bidding. of those above them, and those above them in their turn were the creatures of those still higher. "I told him that it was a system we were opposing, not a man or men, for he knew as well as you and I that the policeman does not hold his place through devotion to duty or honesty, but wholly and solely by the favor of those above hitn, who are responsible for the sYstern. "Some time ago I stated, and there were many criticisms ort my statement, that money was the robt -of all the evil, A condition of society where gain ex cuses .all doings must naturally affect the mechanism which runs a city such as this. There must be some hig-her aim. "There must be some loftier motives. -We must recognize in all who are worthy a striving for the right. The feeling must be fostered and nurtured. There must be personal sacrifice and vieilance, and when you can achieve that there comes the awakening of a 'great enthusiasm. The rest Will be an easy matter." IIIS MN NEES. How Senator Baker Gave Up the Fight. Refused to Throw Strength to Any One. There have been many stories circu lated about the way Senator Baker gave up the fight and the details of all of them have been wrong, al least this is the statement made to a Journal reporter in the Copeland this morning by one of the leaders of the Baker campaign. "In the morning after the managers had decided that Baker could not Win they bad a talk with him and told bim that it would be impossible to bring the contest to a successful finish. 'What shall we do?' they asked. 'What will you do abotit it?' Mr. Baker requested that he be left-alone for a time while he thought it over. The men all went out of the room and he lay down on the bed. In about an hour they came in again and suggested that he throw his streng-th to Johrston or Gleed. They also sugg-ested other names which are equally as prominent in the state. Baker again asked time to think it over and they ag-ain left him. -When they re turned and asked what he had decided to do he replied, 'I am going to get out of this. I am going to withdraw from the race. Burton can have it?, They begged that he would throw hisstrength to some one else, but he had a very bad case of the 'blue flunks' and refused to do a thing. 'If they want any of my supporters they can go after them,' he said. 'I am going home this -aftemoon.' "The managers tried in vain to brace him 1113 and put a. little gingpr in him. but it was a. hopeless task. He would turn his supporters to no one else and would talk of nothing but getting out of the fight. 'I have had enough of it and am going, home. You can do as you please,' was all they could get him to say. 'They finally gave the flatter up and Baker wrote his statement. which WnS published. After he had given up he told a. story of treachery and betrayal to his followers in Leavenworth. If he had turned his strength to either Johnston or Gleed there is little doubt that Burton would at least have been given a hard fight. For there was a. strong sentiment among the Men who filially led the rush to Burton that there should be a third man elected. "They are now accusing a, lot of men who vvere for Baker of bcing traitors. but they simply did what any man would do 'under the circumstances. They saw that Baker was getting weak in the knees and they got with the men who had the nerve to stay up when the fight came." The fact that Senator Baker's wife Is lying at the point of death In a Philadel phia hospital may have had something to do with his indecision and weakness. A Crisis About Due. Madrid, Jan. 5.-4t seems certain that a ministerial crisis will occur after the suspension of the sittings of the chambers.

CLRYCOMITYFEUD Republicans and Populists Man ifest Much Eitterness. Two Fusion Election Judges Are Arrested. BEJECTED BALLOTS Claimed Three Men Not Al lowed to Cast Their Tote. Populists Retaliate by Arrest ing Republicans. The fight over the last election is not over in Clay county, and things are warming up in a, truly interesting man ner. The vote was close, and although the Republicans WOrk the Populists are confident that their county attorney would have been elected on a fair ballot and count. There has been much talk of irregu larities and indefinite charges have been circulated concerning shady work on both sides. The ball was started rolling yesterday vehen the Republicans brought action against two of the judges of election. Joseph Babb, the Populist judge, and Lyman Martin, the Democratic judge, in the Wakefield precinct at the last elec tion, were arrested on warrants sworn out by Herman Avery, son of Post master Avery, of Wakefield. The charge against them is that theSe judges refused to give ballots to three voters in the precinct whom they claimed were not legal voters. The Re publicans are pushing the matter hard, and have employed Attorneys Coleman and IA-illiams to assist the county at torney in prosecuting the cases. The opposing. parties have employed counsel to defend them, and will put up as hard a fight as they can. The opposition will not only fight the case, but they are doing a little retali ating in the shape 'of arresting the Re publican judge, ex-Postmaster Gastor, whom they intend to prosecute on the charge of cutting the numbers off the ballots of the challenged voters so that they cannot possibly be identified in case of a contest. There is also talk of arresting W. H. Bradberry, who furnished a pass for one Sam Hayden, a. Populist. who is in the blind asylum at Kansas City. It is claimed that Bradberry furnished the pass on condition that Hayden would vote the straight Republican ticket, and he made Hayden pledge himself to that effect before the ticket was forthcom ing. Young Hayden told his family and others that he would like to have voted the Populist ticket, but that he wanted to come home, and that he had to vote the Republican ticket in order to get the pass. The papers in this case were made out some time in November, in Justice Noble's court, but were held up until too late to contest the attorney ship. If the township in which. the charges are made had been thrown out the Populist candidate, Alvin Gates, would have been elected by a majority of six. The cases promise to be the most in teresting ever held in the county, and if the fight continues there is no telling where it may end.. There is bound to be a great deal of bitterness result from the trials. BIG CROWD LOOKED FOR.

It is not believed there will be a repetition of the outrages and that the negro2s will be left alone in the future. The notice which the regulators post ed on the gate posts of the negroes homes reads: "We the whitecaps of Pa latka are notified to not let any negroes live in this place or on Harris Ridge." BECAUSE LEE WAS A REBEL

Why Col. Irifquain Wouldn't Appear in Receiving Line at Lincoln. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 5.Col.Victor Irif quain of Governor Poynter's staff crea ted a. great sensation here at the inaug ural reception and ball given to Gove.-- nor Dietrich by refusing to appear in the receiving line or participate in any way because of the presence of Generit! Fitzhugh Lee, giving as his reason the fact that Gen. Lee had opposed the un ion flag during the civil war. Colonel Vifquain was colonel of the 91st Illinois during the civil war and served with great daring, being brevetted a briga dier general for conspicuous bravely ex hibited at Fort Fisher and receiving two medals from congress for similar acts on different OCCRSiOnS. Ile entered the Spanish-American war as lieutenant colonel. and it was very irksome to him to be compelled to serve under Gen. Lee in the 7th army corps at Jacksonville and later in Cuba.

Attacks the Game Unsuccessfully in Phcenix, Ariz., Houses. Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 5--George M. Pull man, son of the dead Pullman palace car manufacturer, has left Phoenix, much, the worse for wear and with his finances at a IOW ebb. He came here six weeks ago with his valet to recuperate. After a period of extravagant living he paint ed Phoenix in many colors. After he learned the g-ame he attempted to break the bankS in various gambling houses here. and departed for Los Angeles in a fit of disgust, and much enfeebled in health on account of riotous living. The other day he received a check for $300 for a Christmas present, which, it is said, he lost in one bet on one number of the roulette table, with a chance of winning $10,500 on a single run. Pull man made the rounds of the gambling houses with J. F. Harcourt of Philadel phia, who appeared to have unlimited resources. Harcourt was more lucky than his companion, and is said to have cleaned up $25,000 in two weeks. A "QUIET" ELECTION. S. B. Betts to Be Selected to Succeed H. C. Safford.

It is seldom that. speed pitchers lasta, fellow who comes into the league with an iron arm and cannon-ball speed soon feels the strain and takes tap change of pace. Mercer ot New York is a striking illustration of what I mean. But Nichols, strange aft4, has never developed a slow bail, used by every other pitcher ln the league. ',Nick has also depended solely on the overhand delivery, which is particularly hard on the shoulder muscles. Every ball he delivers to the batsman comes from above his shoulder. McGinnity of the Brooklyns, on the other hand, show ed this year how to save himself with the underhand delivery. The "Iron Man. set an example for the other twirlers in the league who want to preserve their salary wings as long' as p,ossible, and it wouldn't surprise me at all to find near ly every box. man using an underhand ball next season. Even Nichols may fall in line, too." GARRY HERRMANN'S DAM.

Business Is Steady With Good Mar ket For Produce. New York. jail. 5.R. G. Dun CO.'S eeklY Review of Trade says: In spite of the interruptions of the holidays and of the unusually hea,vy annual settlements in all tines of busi ness the new year opens with indica tions of further progress. There is no lack of contracts offered at steady prices in the country's leading industry and in some departments of cotton goods there is a better movement though speculation has de-pressed the price of the raw material. Otherwise a decline in wheat is the only noteworthy move ment Instanced. It is explained by a reduction 'in the flour output at Minneapolis, some mills shutting down while the foreign de mand at Atlantic seaboard cities is not brisk. The. ordinary measures of bust TIOSS continue to make gratifying ex hibits. No alteration has 3-et occurred in quotations of iron and steel products a.nd this industry is on such a firm foundation that most large concerns have maintained wag-es a-t the old scale, instead of making the reductions antici pated. Iron ore prices are also unchang-ed and no action is now expected tml11 Alarch, although EL lower rate WEIS looked for early in January. Coke is firmly held at Connellsville and there are fewer idle ovens, while the much discussed fall in prices seems confined to inferior quali ties at outside furnaces. Pig iron sells freely for delivery up to April, and there is no indication of weakness. All finished products are eagerly sought, many large contracts having ht-en placed for structural material and oth ers are under consideration. Art Amer ican company is the lowest bidder for the large bridge at Sydney harbor, Aus tralia. The purchase of seven hundred acres near Pittsburg by EL leading steel company indicates grea,t enlargement of its plant. Aside from one reduction of vvages at blast furnaces in the Mahon ing and Shenango valleys, the week's news is most encouraging- in this, the greatest of American industries. The market for textiles has been fea tureless as the holidays and stock tak ing redueed business to limited dimen sions. Wool has a,gain declined, making- the average of 100 quotations 19.28 cents. according to Coates Bros.' circu lar'. Sales at the three chief eastern markets amounted to only 3.121,0e0 pounds for the week and there is much uneasiness,over the statements of larg est stocks at the end of the year, while recent failures have not tended to im prove the tone. The cotton goods have not the same difficulties to contend with., but an ab normally high price for raw material acts as a. check on this industry. Local jobbing' and retail trade is brisk AVIMMINIMIMM

I i!Et7S1 O. R. T. Is Not Threatened With Early Dissolution. Has Organized Five New Divis ions Within a Month. THEY FACE EXPULSION Non-Strikers on Santa ,Fe to Face Charges. Pres. Dolphin's 11 hereabouts Located in St. Paul. St Louis, Jan. 5.--Speaking of a dis patch from Chicago in which it was de clared that troubles threatening the dis solution of the Order of flailway Teleg raphers have grown out of the Santa Fe strike, Chief Clerk L. A. Quick, who has charge of affairs at headquarters during the absence of President Dolphin and Grand Secretary Perham. said: "our order is about 24,000 strong and even. if 500 were dropped. as it is report ed they Will be, it would not make much difference. We have organized five di ViSiOnS in the last few weeks. Most of them are in the east. We are organizing one lodge right here In St. Louis. -If men baye refused to obey the strike order they vvill have charges to confront in their respeetive lodges, and if they are found guilty they will be expelled. We called off -the strike, it is true, but it was not a victory for the railroad. "On the contrary, the contest has only just begun. Nearly all our members at small stations are agents for the rail road as well. They sell tickets and route freight when they are not at the key. It will be a very easy matter to let ship pers and passengers know that the San ta Fe is unfriendly to the order. Wher ever there is a. competing line it is very easy for the agent to sell a ticket over the rival line and also to route freight that way. It will quickly bring the road to terms. I simply say this to show that our resources have not been ex hausted. Mr. Dolphin is in St. Paul at present." ABOUT "POP KELSEY."

Sketch of the Popular Driver of the Dodge City Switch Engine. 'Pop Keity' is sick, so he is laying off." reports the State Journal's corre spondent at Dodge City. The following sketch of Dodge's pic turesque railroad character is draWil a late Dodge City exchange: Everybody knows "Pop" Kelsey. That familiar title was given him because of his well known genial disposition and warm heartedness to old and young-, and poor and rich alike The memory of Pop Kelsey runneth back more than tvvo decades, and in the line of continuous service he is probably one of the oldest engineers In the employ of the Santa Fe railway. He runs the, day switch engine in these yards,and so nearly akin are engine and engineer that with al most human instinct the "trainmaker' Will pant and snort until its faithful driver loosens the throttle,. Even the whistle of the locomotive has an ea,r for music and several musical notes are formed into calls and answers. It speaks. as it were. Pop's engine read ily responds to his hand, and but once has an accident occurred to him. On this occa.sion Pop jumped from the en gine to avoid a collision and received in juries from which he never fbily recov ered, though he is hale and hearty for a man of 62 years. Pop Kelsey is a favorite with all classes of people, and though a widower the Nvarm impuls-e of youthful admira tion beats behind his jacket as tenderly as in years gone by. is especially a. favorite among the gentler sex, and to be an acquaintance of the venerable switch driver is esteemed a- high social privilege. Put the, charm of women has lost itself in the archives of Pop's hearthe is only a friend for geniality, good nature and respect. He is a house hold favorite, and the ba,be on its moth er's knee will lisp "Pop Kelsey" as sweetly a,nd as softly as the demure maid. The subject of our sketch was born In an obscure spot somewhere back in Ohio and at an early age he played hooky like the other boys. He has had all the diseases inciden.t to child and man life, and for this reason be is calculated to live beyond the allotted time of man. He has been vaccinated, inoculated and acclimated. It is no discredit to Pop to say that be rode into Dodge City on the blind bag gage twenty-five years ago. He was then looking for a. Job. He found it, and has ever since been regarded a-s one of the most highly respected employes on the road. Pop is no "brief candle" on "the way to dusty death": he is no "walking' shadowa poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage," but he "will die with the harnes,4 on his back." His "Alay of life is slowly falling' into the sear, the yellow leaf." COMPRESSED AIR sHur OFF.

Troubles That Came When This Labor Saver Was Idle. The breaking of the cross-head on the big compressed air machine at the San ta Fe shops, together with some other repairs necessary, caused a shut down of the compressed air plant. Yesterday the machine was out of service. but last night and today it did part of the work usually expected of it. A new cross head has been ordered by ',Aire and will be rushed from New York to Topeka by express. to be put in by lk londay. Compressed air has become. a vital factor in the operation of the shops. A few years ago its use was introduc.NI here through A. 11. Baird and it has since proven its value, not only in To peka shops but in shopwork generally over the country. It is considerable of a burden-bearer. doing much heavy lift ing. In somo places it is also used for tearing wornout boxcars to pieces. While the plant was out of operation hand hammers and other mechanical appliances had to he used again and the revolt) tion t ha t compressed air has brought about in shopwork was empha sized. The boilermakers found out how many troubles there really were on this earth before mcidern appliances were invented. The lamp inspector had to Ilse a pair of bellows to test his lamps. Flue-welders limbered up their good right arms more generously than for many a. day and various other workers found incooveniences as they were tfat yea,rs ago. SOMETHING IN IT.

Rumor That St. Paul Will Be Leased Will Not Down. Milwaukee. Jan. is learned through railroad and financial sources that canaot be questioned last evening, that there is nicire foundation for ti,e rumors of a lease cif the Chicago, Mil waukee St,Paul railroad to the North eru Pacific and iraa, NQrthertit tban the persons interested care to acknowledge. In this connection President Roswell Miller's qualifying statement, "No leabe has been made yet," is reg-arded as sig nificant PEEGEE'S NEW MANAGER.

Supt. Gray, Late of the Alton, Gets the Place. Springfield, In. 5.Willis E. Gray has been appointed general manager of the Kansas City Southern railway.. Willis E.. Gray retired as general super intendent of the Chicago Alton road on January 1. Tvir. J. A. Edson will retire as general manager of the, Kansas City Southern and Mr. Gray will succecd him. Both the Chicago Alton and the Kansas City Southern roads are now in cluded In the Harriman syndicate. Presi dent Stuart R. Knott of the Port Arthur line is a Harriman man, but Mr. Edson, is not. The latter was brought to Kan sas City by Colonel Fordyce. When Mr. Gray was succeeded on the Alton by J. IL Barrett is was currently rumored that he was not to disappear from the service of the liarrinaora syndicate. As he takes a position with the Kansas City Southern, this rumor has proven well founded GALVESTON INDISPENSABLE.

Hays Says Southern 'Pacific Will Com plete This Terminal. Loa Angeles, Cal., Jan. 5.--"Aly only policy wiil be to conduct the railroad on a hu.siness basis," said President Charles klays of the Southern Pacific, in an interview. "I shall endeavor to so direct matters as to be fair to all parties and communities. There may be some dif ference of opinion as to what is fair, but I will do my best. -My first duty is, of course. to the shareholders of the company, but I think the system can be operated in a busi ness way and yet be fair to the people. find everywhere a tendency to create differences of opinion between the rail road company and their patrons and sometimes there is no good reason for it. The Southern Pacific will endeavor to give to every point, ever3rthing to which it is entitled. The great terminal at Galveston will be completed as it is in dispensable." 1. CONTRACTORS AT WORK.

The handle is of glass, and bears an in scription of the "Katy Flyer." Bryan Snyder, g-eneral passenger ag-ent of the Frisco line, has sent out to the news papers a handsome holida,y souvenir in the shape of a gilded bell, inscribed "With compliments of the season."

SANTA FE LOCALS. Engine 53, one of the locomotives tha,t pulled the fast mail before it was con solidated with the California. limited, has been sent on for service on the mid dle division. Joseph Lightner, an old time employe of the Santa Fe at Emporia, and prom inent in the Republican politics of Lyon county, is in Topeka for a. few daYs Engineers Wellman and E. C. Webb have reported for work. Fireman Ed Rickabaugh is laying off. C. Sheffield, of the car sheds, was off yesterday on account of Illness in his family. FROM NEWTON. A new boist and steel derrick, the der rick being built in the Newton shops. has been erected over the wheel lathes in the machine shop, which greatly fa cilitates the work of putting- in and tak in,g out wheels. The big drive wheels can now be picked up and placed in po sition with the assistance of only two men, when formerly four or five were pressed into service. A Frisco official was in the city from Springfield, Mo.. to examine the Santa Fe electric lighting' apparatus. He was well pleased with the system in use here, and it is not at all unlikely that a ANEMIA The face alone is no sure index of health; but head ache and dizziness, no ambition, no forc:e, no endurance, short breath, palpitation of the heart little exertionthese with a pale face, are a clear indica tion of what is wrong.

The figures were taken from the mortal statistics published by the government and entirely agree with the archives kept at The Hartman Sani tarium. The map is made in four shades. The lightest shade shows the .tates which have the lowest per cent c.i. deaths due to catarrhal diseases. In these states very close to 42 per cent of all deaths in 1890 were due to catarrhal diseases. That is to say, over four out of every ten. deaths were from catarrhal affections. In the states of next darker shade '-1-te per cent varies from 4'2 to 45. In e next darker shade, 45 to 48 per cent of the whole number of deaths resulted from catarrhal diseases. In the darkest shade we have indicated the states in which over 50 per cent, or one-half or more, of all the deaths were directly traceable to catarrh as the cause. This is an appalling state of affairs. This nation has got to confront the fact that catarrh has become a national curse. Catarrhal diseases threaten the life of our people. Over one-half of the people suffer from some form or degree of catarrh. Fully thirty-five million people are personally interested In the discovery of a radical catarrh cure. Hon. Dan A. Grosvenor, of the well known Ohio family, in a letter written from Washington, D. C., says: "Allow me to, ex press my gratitude sts ern.-5, to you for the bene fit derived from one bottle of Peruna. n e w eek has 5.. brought wonderful cha,nges and I am

Attorney Simeon Armstrong, Suite 326, Reaper Block, Chicago, writes in regard to Peruna: "I was afflicted with catarrh for seven years. I tried many remedies without any profit. My catarrh was located mainly in the bead. I applied to several doctors but they were not able to cure me. "I learned of the medicine, Peruna, through a. medical pamphlet. I can warmly praise Peruna as a. certain rem edy. It has been three years since I was cured. and I consider my cure lasting. "I crave to express, for the benefit of the public, my experience with the re nowned catarrh medicine, Peruna.

"I take pleasure in recommending your great national catarrh cure,Peruna, as the best I have ever tried."--W. V. Sullivah. Catarrh is a systemic disease of cli matic and nervous origin. With Peruna the nerves become strong and the mu cous membranes are consequently strengthened, thus protecting the person from the bad effects of a changeable climate. This is why some people do not have catarrh. Hon. J. Courtney Hixson, ex-United I 0 ectitil' w.,- StatesConsul at Foo C h o w, China, of Washington, D.

MRS. ANNICTBOMP5ON OAS, LLTTZILS ABB PCBLISBED "I cannot say enough in regard to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It bas done me more good than all the doctors. I have been troubled with female weakness in its worst form for about ten years. I had leucorrhoea and was so weak that I could not do my housework. I also had falling of the womb and inflammation of the wonab and ovaries, and at menstrual periods I suffered terribly. At times my back would ache very hard. I could not lift anything or do any heavy work was not able to stand on my feet long at a time. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for doctors but they did me no good. My husband's sister wrote what the Vege table Compound had done for her, and wanted me to try it, but I did not then think it would do me any good. After a time, I concluded to try it, and I can truly say it does all that is claimed forit. Ten bottles of the Vegetable Com and seven packages of Sanative Wash have made a new woman of me, I have had no womb trouble since taking the fifth bottle. I weigh more than I have int years; can do all my own housework, sleep well, have a good appetite. and now feel that life is worth living. I owe all to Lydia, E. Pinkham's Veg.. etable Compound. I feel that it has saved my life and would not be with out it for anything. I am always glad to recommend it to my sex, for I know if they will follow Mrs. Pinkham's directions, they will be cured."

MUSH tiEllSi Lansing Citizens Object to the Water Furnished Them. Say the Article Sent Out to the Penitentiary is Filthy. FROM ALN OLD SLOUGH The Water Is Pumped, Insists One Itesident. Effort Being Made to Remedy the Evil Immediately. Leavenworth, Jan. 5.A communica tion has been received by Jacob Roden haus of this city, signed by Donald Mc Phail of Lansing. The letter is a com plaint against the quality of the water furnished the people of Lansing and the inmates of the penitentiary by the state of Kansas. In the letter he says that the water furnished is taken into the reservoir from a slough and not from running water. The slough is in the middle of a big sand bar and was caused by the high water last spring. When the river is high the sand bar is covered with water. but when it begins to go down the water remains in the low place on the bar, thus forming a sort of a. pond. A few years ago the engineers at the prison moved the suction pipes out on this bar. At the time,the change was made quite a large stream of water passed down the Kansas side but of late years the water has been getting less and less. until finally there is hardly any fresh water to be had on this side of the bar. The water that is in the slough has been there since the high water last spring. An effort is being made to have the pipes moved to the east side of the bar, where a dam can be built that will hold enough water to supply the town and the institution. In the con dition in whieh the water is now, it is nearly impossible to use it for drinking purposes. On several different oc casions the citizens of Lansing have had to have the water supply cut off, the water being too filthy for use. When the hydrants were not allowed to run for some time they ould give forth such an odor, that the people were afraid to use the water. The representatives of this county will probably be asked to Investigate the condition of the water and endeavor to have the pipes moved further east. It generally takes quite a. little time to move these pipes, as a pile driver will be required to drive new piles across the slough. The people of Lansing think that this should be done before the spring rise sets in. FORT SCOTT FLAX FACTORY. Doing a Rushing Business Now and Employing Twenty Men. Fort Scott, Jan. 5.---The flax factory is now employing' regularly an average of twenty men. Some days twenty-five are at work. It is just beginning to get well organized and the bales of flax tow are piled up fast in the store room. A ready market is being found for the product of this institution and Mr. Mar tin said today that it was hoped to run the factory the year round. Straw is coming in nicely. Seven wagon loads were delivered yesterda, by Bourbon county farmers. Besides this a car load was received by rail. The yard around the mill is tilled with straw stacks. The company pays from $2 to $3.25 per ton for this straw. Good straw will bring as much a,s fall hay. The scarcity of water became a, seri ous problem for a. while this season, the boiler having exhausted the water in the well dug for the supply, but a neigh boring well is now being drained.

Now Stated That She Wi 11 Not Seek a Divorce. Wichita, Jan. 5.It is reported here that Mrs. Mary E. Lease has abandon ed her suit for divorce. Neither Mr. Lease nor 'Mrs. Lease's lawyer will throw any light upon the subject, but a man in a position to know the facts ad mits that the divorce proceedings are off. During the week Mr. Lease received a very affectionate letter and presents from each of his children and he treated them very handsomely in return. It can be stated as a certainty that in the di vorce matter the children expressei some forcible opppsition to their moth er's purpose, especially Miss Louise Lease, the oldest daughter. Neither one of them, it appears, had even a hint that a divorce wa,s conternplated until they read it in the papers. They imme diately consulted. their mother, with the result that the proceedings w-hich were to have been commenced six weeks ago. are not yet filed. Mr. Lease has made no effort at all to discourage or prevent the divorcement.

Two Nen Arrested Alleged to Have Changed Fives to Tens. Kansas City, Jan. 5.T. R. McManus, of the United States secret service, re turned yesterday from a trip to Okla,- homa and Kansas, where he went to in vestigate the cases of Martin L. Ham mond and Lee S. Foultz, now in jail at Medicine Lodge, Kan., charged with raising government $5 bills to $1.Ds and passing them. Hammond and Foultz, whose homes are at Augusta, O. T., were arrested some time ago. It is alleged that they passed raised notes on merchants in Kiowa, Kan., and Augusta, and Ham mond is charged with having also pass ed some in Pond Creek, O. T. Mr, McManus says the work on the bills was very crudely done and should have fooled nobody. Two strangers drove into Kiowa late one afternoon and were about the town until dark. 'Then one of them went to the store of a. local merchant, bought a pair of socks and gave him a, raised bill. As it was dark, he had no chance to look at the money closely when he first received it, but af ter the stranger' left, taking hie change with him, he examined it by the lig-ht of a lamp and discovered that he had been duped. He went out and found the town mar shal. and Hammond and Foultz were arrested just as they were starting to leave a livery stable. and charged with having passed the money. A short time later another merchant reported that he also had been beaten in a similar way, and a comparison of the bills re ceived made clear that they were the work of the same persons. At present Hammond and Fon Its are being held by the state authorities. Mr. McManus says the proper procedure would have been to take them before the nearest United States commissioner. He does not think the state courts have jurisdiction in the matter. Hammond was formerly in the har ness business at Aug-usta and Foultz was employed with a railroad gang' which is 'working near Augusta. The former recently visited his father in Pond Creek. and it was at about this time that raised bills turned up there. Three of them were passed on Augusta. business men. UNDERTAKERS IN A TRUST

The stock, which has since been held by the socie ty, has now been purchased by George F. Baker, a, New York banker, and E. B. Gardner on behalf of themselves and others.

Senator Money Says a .N7ord For Volunteer Officers. 'Washington, Jan. 5.--When the senate convened today the resolutions offered yesterday by Mr. Pettigrew were con tinued until Monday. A bill extending the mining laws to saline lands was presented. It declares all unoccupied public 'ands containing salt springs or deposits to be subject to location and purchase under the mining- law. The senate proceeded to the considera tion of the army reorganization bill. Is.dr.

The amendment was adopted. When the reception of the bill was re ported providing for the appointment of volunteer officers to be officers in the regular army, an extended discussion, ensued. Mr. Money declared there were many officers in the volunteer army who were as clearly entitled, as gentlemen and officersto commissions in the regu lar army as the cadets, who by hazing and by their testimony before investi gating committees "are today disgracing' the whole country at West Point." The committee amendment providing that volunteer officers to be appointed to second lieutenancies were disagreed to, thus restoring the house provision that volunteer officers might be appointed to the grade of first lieutenant. DEATH TAKES HER. Prima Donna Soprano or Bos tonians Dies in Denver. The famous Bostoniana who sing "The 'Viceroy" at the Crawford tonight, had sad news to greet them, when they arrived in Topeka. this morning. Miss Belle Fremont, the prima. donna so prano, died at the Tremont hotel, in Denver, at 6 o'clock last night, of pneu monia. Miss Fremont was a favorite with the company, and the great oper atic family was deeply touched and pained to hear of her death. The deceased was Miss Belle Bartlett off the stage. She was a. niece of Jessie Bartlett Davis, likewise of Josephine Bartlett, wha is also singing with the Bostonians. Her father, Frank Bartlett, of Chicago, reached Denver at 6 o'clock this morning, after a hurried but fruit less journey to reach his daughter's bed side before death took her. Numerous expressions of syrnpthy and condolence were sent by members of the company from here to the bereaved rela,- dyes. Amoug them was the following d spate hi to her father, Mr. Prank Bartlett: "We beg to share your sorrow in your great bereavement. We shall miss her as a, friend and an artist. Accept for the family our sincerest sympathy. "BARNABEÐ MC DONALD." Miss Bartlett was touring for her first season. Jessie Bartlett Davis, her aunt, had looked after her education and she was starting on a promising career. She sang the part of "Beatrice" in "The Viceroy," Sind waa understudy for Miss Clark as "Yvonne" in "The Serenade," She v,-as about 22 years of age. -VV. H. Mc Donaid said: "Miss Bart lett wa9 a. great favorite with us, and gave promise of a, successful career. 'Yhe members of the company are all much grieved at her sad end. "We aIso left Miss Adele Rafter in a hospital in Denver, but we hear she Ls convalescing. There were half a dozen of the company ill with the grippe and bad colds in Denver." Miss Hilda Clark spoke in deep sym pathy of Miss Bartlett's death. "She was a clever girl," she said. Miss Clark suffered an accident in Denver. By a fall on the stage she severely sprained her knee. She has not since appeared until last night in St. Joseph. There is small prospect that she will sing to nig ht. "I may appear tonight; I do not know yet," she said. "Last night I could not move about very freely, and sang under great disadvantage." Miss Clark walks stiffly and with a decided limp. Miss Pierson, her alter nate, Will doubtless appear as "Tivo lint" in her stead tonight. illildred Rogers sings "Beatrice" and Kathryn Russell "Floretta," Misa Raft er's role. Manager Bacon saki Deriver was a most unlucky stop for the Bostonians, and from the trend of events it seems to have been so. EASTERN RAILROAD DEAL. .7. P.

The meeting- was preside(' over by Mr. J. R. Mc Nary, of North Topeka, who at the outset rnade a few remarks by way of opening. Prof. Parsons, of Wash burn college, v,-as to have delivered the opening address proper, but he was ab sent, and Mrs. Georgia Notestine, EL member of the Deg-ree of Honor from Hiawatha, took his place. She made a plea. for a stronger tie of brotherhood and sisterhood between members of the human family. "Let our goodness be come more sincere." was one sentence dwelt upon. She cited some instances of help which the Degree of Honor had given those in need.

Un der our form of government beneficiary orders have been a power for gooll and our order has led off in this direction." Then Mr. Foote gave several instances in which members of the A. O. U. NV. had helped one another in material ways. It was expected that John H. Crider, of Fort Scott. 'would be heard at some length. Mr. Crider has the reputation of making talks that are logical and con vincing along the line of work in ben eficiary societies. But the hour was late when be was called for, so he was able to make only a few remarks re garding the growth of the order.

S.For at least two months the secret service people have been at work te discover the makers of a large number of all silver counter feit coins, mostly qua,rters and halves, which were being freely circulated In New York city. Last night and today officials of the secret service of the treasury department, under Chief Wilkie's direction, arrested Pio Paris and seven companions, all Italians. The fact that large numbers of these all-silver counterfeits were being freely circulated in New York during the last two years bee given Chief Wilkie a great deal of trouble. The coins being of almost pure silver. 900 fine, and fairly well made, they rea,dily passed wherever presented and rendered extremely diffi cult the task of locating the makers and passers. The arrests came about in this way: Some time ago two Italians called on Messrs. Platt Co., of Gold street, New York, dealers In sheet silver and gold, and purchased a, thousand ounces of sheet silver. One of the men was ob served at the time of the purchase to compare one of the sheets with: a coin which he took from his pocket The circumstance was made known to the secret service officials. The men took only part of their purchase with them. After a time they again appeared a,nd took away another small quantity, to lid Mangin street, on the east side of New York. From there they were shadowed to 95 Watt street, On the west side. Detectives sha,dowed them, with the re sult that their lodging places were dis covered and the fact established beyond doubt that at both of these numbers work WELS being casried on. Yesterday morning one of the roomers in the Mangin street house became suspicious that the men on the floor below were doing some sort of crooked work, a,nd he at once notified a policeman on that beat of his suspicions, which fact came near rendering ineffective all the work that had been done. The policeman, not knowing that the authorities were watching the house, went to the door and pounded for ad mittance. He was not answered, how ever, and soon went away. One of the gang, who aad been watching from the. next street corner, a,t once went to the house, notified the gang of the suspicious circumstances, and a,11 precipitately fled to the Watt street place, carrying with them many of their dies. coins and blanke. The secret service officials, realizing the danger of further delay, immedi ately forced an entrance into both houses, where they found several of the meneight in allat work. Tbe Man gin street house, as well as the house on Watt street, was fully equipped with modern ma,chinery for rolling silver, Punching blanks, etc. In one of the places a screw press, weighing five tons, was in operation. About a- hundred ounces of silver and quite a large basket full of steel dies were secured. Many of the dies, however, had been so mu tilated as to be beyond use. It seemed that as soon as the policeman had given tbe alarm, the counterfeiters began to file away the fa,ces of their dies to pre vent them from being used as evidence. Chief Wilkie said today that this gang probably, was responsible for at least SO per cent. of all the silver coun terfeits which have been put in. circu lation in New York during the la,st two years. How to Take Cod Liver Olt Nearly everyoneknows that when they are thin there is no remedy in the world equal to cod liver oil to make them fleshy. 'Yet there is nothing against which they rebel more promptly. There were a gerat many ways recommended for making cod liver oil pleasant. Among these we would mention placing a pinch of salt in the mouth before and after taking the dose of oil. Syrup of bitter orange peel was also recom mended. But now all this is unneces sary. Science has found a wa,y of mak ing cod liver oil not only pleasant to take, but easy to digest. 3,Iessrs. Scott Bowne have brought this science to perfection in their Scott's Emulsion, which is cod liver oil free from disagree able odor, and taste, and already partly digested. Kingstand Bound Over.

Ex-Director of Census Says 300,000, 000 at Century's End. Washidgton, Jan. 5.----Taking all pre vious records as a. basis," said Robert Porter, the former director of the census, "the population of the United States at the cloee of this century ought to be at least 30).000.04,O, but no one can prophesy this with the hope that it wiil be approximately correct At the be ginning of the nineteenth century statis t icians of prominence estimated that the pepulation of the United States at this time would be le0,000,000. These predic tions were based on increase prior to that time. Tne naaural increment of a healthy country like England is 1142 per cent a year, or about 15 per cent a. de cade; by this is meant the augmenta tion by birth, giving- noi consideration to the e-roth by irrunigration. If we should inerease at the rate of el per cent a year by natural meane land continue along these lines for the next lea years the population. would be Ve0,000,eee, not counting the increase by immigration, but there is much in th. census statistics of ten years ago and the present to cast doubt upon the an tietpated heavy inerease. "In the la,reer cities of the country, fer instance. the tendency is apparently to small families. In some of the large cities the size of the fa-milies has de creased IT'0111 five to four children. Sup pase that in the next 31). 40, or 50 years the decrease in the number of children te the fanuly is from four to three, the effect would be great. Then later, if the decrease should be to, two children, as is tiie tendency in France, the increment in population NV0111,1 almest stop. -There is no doubt that as the popu lation of the country increases the fight f ,r life becomes more bitter and serious. 3n Prance. as is well known, the popu lation is' at a standstill. In the course cif a few years the young people of this c-,untry rnight conclude, by reason of a desire to evade too much responsibility in family affairs, that they will not rearry until they are several years older than the averege period of marriag-e row. A wait of one year would make a. difference of 1,000,000 children alone in a itiecade. Suspensiort Made Permanent Manila.

FISICE I r r I L 114 Famous American Actress Por trays "Becky' Sharp." An Excellent Production Found., ed on Thackeray's Book. AUDIENCE WAS LARGE. There Were a Few 'Vacant Seats However. "The Christian" Given at the Grand With Good Effect. It is many years since Minnie Mad dern visited Topeka but there are people in the city who still cherish pleasant memories of her. She ca,me back last night -with Fiske aild,4(1 to her name lin ,-1 renewed the old associations. Though soe married and gave up the theatrical profession since the old days when she came to Topeka. her return to the stage and her reappearance in the west re newed the old time memories and caused people to wish that there were more actresses like Airs. Fiske. Mrs. Eiske's delineation of Becky Sharp is a revelation. one forgets that it is not the real Becky and follows the course of Thackerav's adventuress with all the interest that could attach to a. character whose mind is a. storehouse of cunning and deeeit. What would BeckY Sharp be without Mrs. FiskeTa dreary a,nd comfortless waste of words. How an actress might literally slaughter Becky Sharp! In the third act when ilawdon Crawley discovers his wife's .duplicity and tears the jewels from her neck and arms she realizes that she has lost. Her social position is gone and her husband has left her. Most actresses W011131 have stalked about the stage wringing their hands and shouting in frenzy. NVhat did Airs. Fiske do? She simply sat down on the floor in careless abandon and exclaimed: "I am done for." It was the natural thing to do, of course, for a woman of Becky Sharp's temperament, but who would have thought of it unless he had seen the character portrayed by such an actress as Mrs. Fiske? Thni scene was preced ed by her soliloquy which was a perfect and interesting self castigation. There was never a lapse from the nervous but calm and unexcitable Becky. "Whether moving among the most exclusive set in English society ot in her cheap lodgings she was the same, aggravatingly fascinating' and provok ingly self possessed. Once it appeared that Mrs. Fiske had forgotten herself. When Frank Gilmore as Rawdon Craw lev her husband, kissed her full in the mouth she follow-ed it immediately by wiping her lips with her handkerchief, 1 ..00".777.--..''

FISKE but after all that is probably what the real Becky would have done. Her little song to her own accompaniment on the old fashioned dulcimer revealed the fact that Airs. Fiske can sing. The company was perfect. There were no weak spots in the big cast. The scenery was prepared with all the care possible and the costumes closely fol lowed the period of Thackeray. The Crawford v,as not crowdedthere were several vacant rows at the back of the house. A report was started early in the week by some one that Mrs Fiske would not be in Topeka but that an un derstudy would play her part and this probably had something to do with the fact that the house was not packed Then there was that S2 scheduleit un doubtedly kept others away Topeka seldom has an opportunity to see one of the foremost American act resses and this fact should be appreci-ated-THE CHRISTIAN. "The Christian" made its first appear ance in Topeka. last night when it was produced at the Grand by ',deb ler Co. Not a. crowded house greeted the com pany, to be sure, but a large crowd attended. A part of the audience was made up of people who had perhaps never entered a theater before, and old theater-goers who had no other interest than a. curiosity to see the play which drew crowded houses irz all the larger eastern cities. "The Christian" is one of the strongest plays presented in Topeka. this year,and tbe appreciation of the acting by the members of the company who made the various scenes so realistic was evi denced by the unfettered flow of scald ing tears on the part of the gentler sex, and also some of the more sympathetic of the men. Lionel Adams aa "John Storm" achieved a, remarkable triumph. The pla,y gives quickly and brilliantly the events of a long period during which all action of the chief episode takes place. The prologue is devoted to the explanation of the plot and the tedious task- of introducing and revealing the characters and to some extent unfolding their schemes. A scene of rare beauty is revealed in the prologue, where John Storm, a young man, rich and indolent, whiles away the hours boa,t riding and "Alay ing" with Glory Quayle, a beautiful but uneduca-ted daughter of a. village preacher. Suddenly 3-oung Storm elects to quit his idle life, become a priest, and work in London slums. Glory. too, about the same period, grows weary of the humdrum existence of her sPa bc,und home, and decides to enter the life of a. music hall singer in London. The resolves of each are carried out, and each become famous in their chosen paths, but Glory finally succumbs to tbe stronger vvill of Storm and unites her life with his. After the preliminary everything was smooth sailing, and climax followed climax, applause succeeded applause, and with four curtain recalls in the third act, where Glory and John gave an especial bit of fine acting. It was evi dent that the word dramatization was not a misnomer. Alias Julia Stuart. pla,ying the part of 4.--,---,-.:A','"'-:--- --.14, c- .,l't"'..".:,-,---4"

New York, Jan. 5.--The -Metropolitan Street Railway company will appeal to the appella-te division of the supreme court from the decision of Justice Bis choff invalidating its franchise on Lex ington avenue, from Forty-second street north.

The famous midnight closing ordinance has been en tirely ignored for two nights. Alderman Maypole. a friend of Mayor Harrison, introduced an ordinance in the council last night repealing. the midnight closing ordinance. He said he repre sented 7,000 printers and other night workers, who demanded open saloons. Mayor Harrison says he has not changed his closing nolicy. "I am going after the private dining rooms now," Said he. "Such places do more harm than all- the saloons in the city of Chicago. They should not be al lowed to exist. As long as we are in the reform business we should turn our attention to the grea,test of all the evils. "Saloons and basement dives do not ruin women. No decent girl would dream of entering such places. It is the private dining room in the fashionable restaurant where the first wrong step is taken." POULTRY SHOW NEXT WEEK

Liverpool cables 'were not responsive to the advance here yesterday. Local receipts were 65 cars, one of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 310 cars, against 191 cars last week and 450 cars EL year ago. There was little for sale on the decline and the market rallied.

Chicago, Jan. 5.WHE'AT--.Wheat has developed a broad and active market. in a-hich everything eise has been sub ordinated by the bullish sentiment now grown rampant and pronounced. The blackboard postings of cables, receipts and shipments or other routine news Hre of no purpose except as they feed the bullish fever. The trade is broadening. daily, but as yet it is a professional and private wire house market, the general scattering trade not having yet recovered from the shock of an advancing wheat market. There are indications of power ful interests in the market, but the only concentration among them is thevir adher ence to the buying side. On the sharp upturns there has been fair realizing, only to lead to determined support 'on the healthy declines. There 11,1ve been eeie tions sufticiently sharp to keep the to, pr., mid builders out of the 'market. and the dips have been deceptive einiiigit to coax some short selling'. The mitieeatiie fea ture is the ease with whii the tnq.rket advances. eseh firm snot bringing' le the scalping shorts who 'have licen Itsppcd. into selling' on the breaks.

CORNCorn is slowly developing strength, and while the Incentive for its advance has been largely refiected from wheat, the position of the coarser ceteill is strong. here is a large short intorest in May corn.

Of Course Scheme to Do Away With Them Is a Joke. Ferator Pestana has created a great deal amusement ELMOMC the tnem bets of the upper house with his talk of the hill he proposes to introduce do ing hway with the cierks which eaChl senator is allowed under the present law. kle says that the bid is in the In terest of economy and that it should passed s,,Icly on that ground. The other senators are inclined to laugh at the bill and not one of them has said that he would favor it Some of them go so far as to say that the ob ject of tile hill is not so much economy as it is to make a name for Pestana as a money saver for the state. They say that he wants to make a reputation for eeiihomy in order that it may further his chanees for congress, a. position he has attempted to land several times and one that he still is anxious to obtain. "When the bill is introduced there wiii not be more than throe votes for it, if there are that many," said one of the senators in the state bouse today, DENIEltellANGE OF VENUE.,

Russia Again Emphasizes Her De clared Policy in China. New York, Jan. 5.A special to the Ilerald front Washington says: Your correspondent has obtained cop ies of important decrees issued by the czar of Russia, which go to show that the St. Petersburg' government contem plates no departure from the policy of evacuating Alanchuria as soon. as cir c umstances perm t. These decrees, 1- hich are in the form of instructions to limitary and naval commanders. fur ther show that the czar has been stren uous in his orders to avoid looting' or ill treatment of the inhabitants of the ter rilc.ry occupied by his troops. One telegram sent by the mirtister of war to General Grodckoff. commanding' the Russian troops in 7klatichuria, reads: -Ills imperial malesty orders me to send to you the following instructions: majesty's desire Is not only that there should be no annexation of Chi nese territory to Russia. but as has beert rublished in the official communication of September that our troops should iater be recalled from Manchuria, if there be no hinderance thereto by the uourse pursued by other powers. In ac cordance ith this imperial decision you ',Aid do all that is possible to bring the military operations in Manchuria to a. speedy end "At present Russia's principal object the continuatio-n arid completion of t ailways we are building. Your efforts 3i1USt be directed to help this work and guard the workmen. Russian adminis tration must mit be introduced in the territory occupied by our troop,s. 'You mei ill reassure the popula,ce, remove their fears. and bring thent back to their inrclinary occupations irt time of peace. See that the soldiers commit no violence upon the inhabitants after the last shot uf the battle. Life. honor, property and customs of the natives must be sacred to the troops: The czar had -many weeks before mired this order to Admiral Alexieffe: OM. FREE TO THE RUPTURED Dr. W. S.

0.16 C: rd 1 Ni AVENUE. "Strictest discipline, irreproachable in ternal order, respect for the peaceful citizen, compassion for the vanquished, reg-ard for their property, must be en forced by you with an irch hand." This was followed by these orders to both General Grodckoff and Admiral Alexieffe. sent early in August, just after the Russian troops had eroesed into Manchuria: "Circumstances having obliged our troops to cress the frontier into Man churia, we will soon have quelled the rebellion. Order will be restored equally soon on the Manchurian railway, and work will be resumed under the pro tection of our armed forces. But that is not enough. It is absolutely neces sary' that the peaceful inhabitants of Manchuria should not join the rebels and create the painful necessity of mak ing war upon the whole Chinese natlen. "His imperial majesty therefore di rects me to instruct you ta take string ent measures so that war shall be con ducted with the inexurability intirent to all warfare only against Chincee troops and armed citizens; they must be defeated, deprived of their 8,1121S and the fortifications destroyed. "But the peaceful re-sidents, their homesteads and their property must not be touched by our valorous soldiers, or by border cossacks. No unnecessary cruelty or devastation should be allow ed. Destruction of cities or villages and burning ef farms may be resorted to on ljr in extreme cases as punishment for heavy and bloody crimes. Such meas ures incense the populatioh against us. Any kind of looting lay soldiers or cos sacks must be punished with the ut most severity, including the court mar tial of offendere., All subsistence pro vided by the inhabitants shall be pa,c1 for in cash. "Terrible in battle, our soldiers must in Manchuria. be, as they have always been everywhere and at all timeskind anti humane, not only to the peaceful citizens, but also to the conquered foe. The very next day after the battle you must exert yourselves to be on a friend ly footing with the inhabitants. So have we always done, with great success, in the Caucasus and in Central Asia.. In giving you these instructions his Im perial majesty is confident that the brave troops under your command will not dim their glory by any kind of cru elty to peaceful unarmed citizens. "The emperor expects that every man will de his best to maintain good and friendly relations." Information received in an official quarter here is to the effect that the in structions as given above have been carefully observed. Reports are current here that because of the recent decree issued by Russian officials in Manchuria., seeming to imply a protectorate over that Chinese pro vince, the United States might be asked from the St. Petersburg government an explicit explanation of its purposes. So far as can be ascertained officials here have no such purpose. Other reporte asserted that this gov ernment had sounded or would sound European powers with reference to Rus sia's conduct in Northern China. It is stated emphatically here that no negoti ations ELT in progress respecting' China except those in Pekin. Chronic Rheumatism Cured. Dr. H. B. Hettinger. Indianapolis.

I finally tried Detcbon's Mystic Cure for Rheumatism, and in '4 days could walk without my cane: two bottles cured tne sound and well.

The United States Leads in the Pro duction of Coal. New York, Jan. 5.The Engineering and. Mining Journal today gives a, sum mary 0 tf the mineral and metal produc tion of the United States for the year 1900. This summary has been compiled from advanced figures furnished by pro ducers and from official sources and gives a. complete statement of the gold production of the world for the year just closed. The total value of the metals produced in the United Sta,tes in 1900 was $509,800,992 as compared wit,h $946,- 057,320 in 1899. The value of the output of non-metallic substances was $755,680. 991 as against $645,754,305 in 18149. The total value for the two years, after al lowing for duplications was, respective ly, $1,157,162,182 and $1,049,230,594. The more important items of this pro duction in metals were gold, valued at $78,658,755; silver, valued at $37.085,248; 615.756,502 pounds of copper valued at $100.154,345; 251,781 tons of lead valued at 322,005,659; 122,850 tons of zinc valued at $10.786,230, and last, but not least, 13,- 914,505 tons of pig iron, valued at $238,- 078.737. Of the non-metallic products by far the most important was coal, of which the United States produced no less than 27-1,847,779 tons; the greatest quantity ever produced in one yea,r by this or any other country. In 1899 the United States wa,s the largest producer of coal in the world and this pre-eminence was in creased in 1900. Other important products of this class Included cement, of which 17,82.8,698 bar rels vvere made; salt, copper sulphate, mineral paintaphosphate rock and slate, while the minor mineral productsinclud ed a variet3r too numerous to mention. The total gold production of the world in 1900 amounted to $256.462.438, which compares with $313,641,534 in 1899, the de crease being entirely owing to the stop-. page of gold production in the Trans vaal by the war, nearly all other pro ducing countries showing an increase. In 1900 the United States took the lead among the gold producing countries, with $78,658.755, Australia. ranking sec ond with $75,283,215. The large pro duction of the Klondike has put Can ada in the third pla,ce, with a total out put of $26,000,000, while Russia. was fourth. with $23,090,862. These four countries produced over 80 per cent. or the gold, of the world. The total arnount of dividends paid 210 companies allied with the mineral, industries of the United States in 1900 W as $130,941,000. This large disburse ment places mining arnong the most profitable of the country's industries. The metal mines paid $51,502,000, or 39.3 per cent of the total, and the indus trial companies $79,439,000, or 60.7 per cent. Among the leading payers were the copper mines, with $33,433,000 t) their credit, the gold and silver mines, $13.907.000, and the petroleum companies with $48,816.000. BOBS AT WORK. Little General Settles Down to Busi ness in the War Office. New York, Jan. 5.A dispatch to the .Tribune from London says: Earl Roberts has settled down to work in the war office with a. business-like air. His influence is so great that any measures which he may recommend for the defense of Cape Colony and for bringing the campaign to an end V be adopted by Mr. Brodrick. Probably he has not waited for special reports before advising the secretary for war respecting the conduct of the campaign. His presence at headquarters is a source of strength to the government. There is already a more bouyant feeling- re specting the military operations. Nobody can understand what is going on in the great Karoo region, where the bands of marauding Boers are crossing a barren and desolate district and loot ing the farms of the poor white trash or in Bechuanaland, where a. mysterious westward trek is in progress. The dis patches from Cape TOWn describing the landing of marines and guns and the en rollment of a new colonial defensive fore are read with amusement, espec ially when the invaders are reported to be without guns and only a few hun dreds in strength. While the situation is perplexing, there is no feeling of 11111d ety here, for Earl Roberts. who knows what is wanted, is where he can strengthen Lord Kitchener's hands and wind up the campaign. The friends of Sir Henry Colville are seeking to atir up strife in military cir cles. They are asserting that L,ord Lansdowne consulted Lord Wolseley be fore exonerating Colville and assigning him to duty at Gibraltar and Lord Rob erts hearing at Maderia what had been done. intervened and insisted that Mr. Brodrick shouid recall him.. They also assume that Sir Evelyn 'Wood was not consulted. but that the secretary for war acted in a most arbitrary way. Their stories are probably as irresponsi ble as the recent gossip that the Colvin:: affair marks the final stage of an old feud between Lord Wolseley and Lord Roberts. General Colville has lost the sympathy of military men by his indis cretion on bringing on a trial by news papers and in reproaching Lords Rob erts and Kitchener for the failures of staff officers. The return of Generals Kelly-Kenny and Ian Hamilton has been celebrated already by their Aldershot friends. Neither made any mistake nor was de feated in South Africa.

Delegate of British Trade Union Ad dresses Social Democrats. New York, Jan. 5.--Feter Curran who came here five weeks ago as the fra ternal delegate of the British trade unions to the convention of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, spoke last night in Arlington hall under the auspices of the Social Democratic party on socialism and trade unionism in Eng land. He said he had been traveling through many of the great industrial centers in this country Miring the past five weeks. "Your employes," he continued, "are getting more work out of the working men than are the employers in the old country and the manner in which you rush in this country would not be tol erated for a, single moment in England. "There Is one thing I want to impress upon your minds and that is that your manufacturers are dumping their com modities in our market cheaper than they can be made over there. That zoest to show that you are more efficient slaves. The number of wealth producing people in Great Britain is much larger in proportion to the population than is the number here. The money that is handed out in Wall street and is stored in that thoroughfare represents the un paid wages of the working classes. "The strike weapon has proved bene ficial to us In the settlement of our g-rievances in the field of battle. An other channel of redress is through po litical action and I want to say right here that I have no use for the man either in England or America who says that the wag-e earner should keep aloof from political action. 1 "I detest a monarchy, though I have no personal dislike for the good old lady, the queen, yet it is a relic of bar rbarism. However, from vv-hat I have ob served since I came here, I tell you frankly that if by a wave of my hand in England I could bring about a republic then I would cease to wave my hand." L0110011 SEES A BOOM. Statist Predicts Great Com mercial Activity in America. London, Jan. 5.--Immense borrowing by the market at the close of Decem ber, was one of the chief causes of ad vance in the Bank of England rate of discount. The rise stopped the outflow of gold towards Paris. The Statist discussing the money po sition, considers the possibility of ob taining gold in New York increased by thevery large sales of American secur ities tria,de by London in New York. The greater portion of American stacks car ried in London are for American ac counts and should the ra,te in London be appreciably higher than in New York, the stocks carried in London by bor rowed money may be transferred to New York. The Statist thinks that New York can easily spare three or four mil lions of gold. A long article in the Statist on Amer ica's changed international position con cludes as follows: -It is difficulty to believe the United States will be able to employ advantage ously the whole of its new savings in foreign investments. The reasonable probability is that we are about to wit ness a. great outburst of new enterprise in the IThited States. Industrial compa nies will be created, new industries Will be founded and 11 Enir railways or contin uations and branches of existing rail ways will be constructed. Thus there will be a, vast outflow of capital at home while it is not improbable the new col onies may be developed on a larger scale than 'hitherto If the United States spends immense sums at home and does not buy commodities on a great scale and do-es not invest in foreign securities, on an equivalent scale, it is obvious that the more the trade balance turns in fa vor of the United States, the greafer will be its ability to take gold from Europe. Therefore the likelihood is that money rates will rule high in Europe because there 'will be always the danger of a, withdrawal of American capital not only from London but Germany." ABUSES AT BELLEVUE.

Former Superintendent Says Patients Are Brutally Treated. New York, Jam, 5.--Dr. Alexander Trauman, who was superintendent of the insane asylum on Wa,rd's island when it was under the city's control, speaking last night of the alleged abuses in Bellevue hospital, said: "It was a common thing while was at the insane pa,vilion to find patients with bruises ott their faces and other marks of physical violence. While was at Ward's island we used to get patients frequently from the insane pavilion at Bellevue who were ba,dly marked. Sometimes they had broken ribs. It got so bad that Dr. McDonald kept a, book in which he entered the injuries on pa tients received, so that they could not be charged to his subordinates. "In the pa,vilion al Bellevue there was no safeguard for the patients against the nurses. In a. place of tha,t kind there should be a physician on duty all the time. The mechanical restraints still used at Bellevue are an open door to brutalities. They save a lot of trouble for the nurses, but they are out of date and often injure the patient. "With the worst cases on Ward's isl and they have never used mechanical restraint of any kind since 1884." COLLEGE IIIEN TO AID.

Chicago Hygienic Expert Propounds a Hew and Startling Theory. (Special to the New York 'World.) Chicago, Dec. 2.Dr. Albert. H. Hoy, after years of patient research, says exer cise is positively unhealthful for men past thirty-tive years of age. Dr: Hoy has published a book on "Eating and Drink ing" which is praised by the profession. Ile is a, ,specialist in hygiene. "I say that exercise for the business man or men past middle age is detriment al. I exclude the young and the laborer. Every action, whether o: the brain or of the muscles, destro:vs cells, uses up tissue and creates waste matter to be taken up by the blood and to be eliminated front the system. 'Now, unless such waste is eliminated it becomes so ratieh poison in the system. The great eliminating machine of the hu man body is the kidneys. Unless the kid neys do their work the system is satur ated with poison. 'Senator Davis a Case in Point. "For instance, there is the sad case of Senator Davis. His toe was poisoned by his stocking' and refused to heal. Kidney complaint developed, or rather the kid neys for a. long time had not done their full work, and the system was so poisoned that the toe became gangrened. "The kidneys work easily during youth up. say, to thirty-tive years of age. Hut after lifty they become slightly atrophied, they shrink a. little. This is not disease, but a. simple effect of age. Consequently. as a man advances in years, he should ask his kidneys to perform a little less work. instead of a. little more. "But suppose-a man of business not only uses his brain during business hours. but also pms a strain on his muscles afterward. There is waste then to be car ried MT. mental wagle and physical waste, the broken-down brain cells and those of the muscles likewise. Thus the kidneys are forced to do double duty, to eliminate poisons resulting from. two sorts of ac tion.

Chicago, Jan. 5.A special to the Tri bune from El Paso, Texas, says: When President McKinley reaches El Paso in May on his way to Califor nia, he will in all probability have an opportunity of shaking ha,nds with President Diaz across the boundary line that divides the United States from Mexico. A telegram received here today from Congressman Slayden, of Texas, gave assurance that Mr. McKinley would pass through El Pa-so on the westward trip, and citizens at once interested themselves in preparing a. suita.b.le re ception for him. lt was decided among other things that it would be appropria,te to invite President Diaz of Mexico to visit the northern border of his dominions at that time to meet a,nd greet the president of the United States in the center of the international bridge, that spans the Rio Gra,nde river, marking the boundary line between this country and Mexico.

Chem ical examination of the perspiration and urine will determine the amount of recent brain work by the amount of Phosphate of Potash found, for these delicate particles are thrown out from the brain and nerve centers during nervous activity, and find their way back to earth, through pores, kidneys, bowels, etc. There is but one true way to repair the daily losses, and that is to furnish the body with food containing a sufficient amount of these two elements. When the brain is not properly fed, the evidence is shown by a gradual decrease in the mental and physical powers of the body. A food expert has prepared a crisp, dainty and delicious food for the express purpose of quickly and surely rebuiLling the brain and nerve centers, and has given it the name of GRAPE-NUTS. This food is made by seiecting the proper parts of grains and treating them by heat, moisture and time, in practically the same manner Nature does in the human body during the first part of di gestion. The result is that the finished food not only contains the needed elements for brain building., but they are ready to be pre sented to Mother Nature in such shape that she quickly absorbs and uses them. The good, solid, substantial results obtained every day by people who use Grape-Nuts, prove the facts. The new food is found in all first-class grocery stores, and is one of the most toothsome and palatable novelties yet produced, re quirino. no cooking or preparation of any sort; on the contrary, it is read''y for immediate use, and suited to the athlete, brain worker, epicure, or invalid.

The- kiss is a,n intoxicant. therefore the kiss, like the saloon, must go. This decision was arrived at yesterda-y afternoon at the reg-ular meeting of Demorest unioniteg. at the home of 'Mrs. Shirley, 44:i West Tvventy-third street. The matter came lip, in connec tion with the vice crusade, when Dr. Anna Hatfield interrupted a. torrent of eloquence apropos of the saloon as the SOU ree of all evil to prove that the nectar quaffed from red rips was more fruitful of consequences than a,ny alco holic beverag-e ever distilled. "I think kissing is the worst thing a young woman can do," said the doctor, -and the amount of hug-ging and kissing that some girlsof our best families, toosubmit to is, literally a menace to our morality. I know a young- man well who declares that he rarely leaves a girl without kis-sing her good-night. He says that they not only eagerly accede to his request. but that several have insisted upon being- kissed. "I have carefully inquired into the matter, and I find many young women imagine this is the way to get husbands. It is reprehensible. These are the sup posedly well brought up daughters of lich parents. The girls must be taught that it is wrong, not only to kiss a stranger, but to kiss the men they are em-rag,,d. to. Too great care cannot be taken." "I should suggest that an excellent and efficient -way to stop the impro priety," said I'diss Thomas, "would be to instruct the young- men in the evils of kissing."

All of the camps are surrounded by a heavy guard of armed men, with instructions to shoot the first man who attempts to escape from the confines of the place, and this afternoon the first tragedy was enacted. This tragedy was enacted at a camp of the Northern Eumber company, three miles from this place, when John Swan son, whose home is supposed to be in Michigan, was shot and killed by the guard of twenty men that had been de tailed to prevent any one from leaving the infected building. Smallpox made its appearance at this camp yesterday, and the foreman at once selected twenty of his 140 men, armed them with rides, and instructed them to shoot the first man who tried to get away. This was considered neces sary, ELS the men are mad with terror on account of the steady gain of small pox, and are willing to take any chances if they can but escape. Swanson en deavored to get out of the camp several times during the day, and was several times warned to keep inside. Late in the afternoon he made the attempt that resulted in his death. 'Waiting" for a moment when he thought the guard was absent, he rushed forth. Half a dozen men called upon him to halt, but he kept on running. Ten or twelve rifles -cracked at the same instant, and the unfor tunate fellow dead with a number of bullets in hi3 body. All the members of the quarantine guard have surrendered to the foreman of the camp, who will not allow an offi cer to come near until the smallpox epi demic has run its course. He promises to be personally responsible for the ap pearance of each man who carried a rifle. TOOK CARETAKER'S WIFE.

Wealthy New Yorker Sued For S50,- 000 by His Viratchman. New York, Jan. 6.--An action for $50,- 000 damages has been brought in tale supreme court of New York against Joeeph Faulkner, president of the Burr Printing company, at Nos. 16 and 1S Jacob street, this city, by Edmund J. Weston, formerly employed by Faulk ner as a coachman, who charges that Faulkner has alienated his wife's affec tions and caused the latter to leave him. Weston, a year ago, was employed by Faulkner as coachman at his summer herne near Dune lien, three miles west of Plainfield. At the end of the summer, when Faulkner went bac& to New York to live, Weston and his wife occupied the Faulkner summer home as care takers.. lt was during this time, it is alleged, that Faulkner made love to Mrs. Wes ton. It is charged that Faulkner wrote many letters to her, all of which were filled with endearing' terms and many of them referring to sums of money sent her for the purpose of meeting him secretly in New York. Mrs. Weston finally deserted her hus band iind 7 year oid daughter, and went to New York to live. Recently the de serted husband got possession of a bun dle of letters alleged to have been writ ten to his wife by Faulkner, and when the case comes into court these letters will play a prominent part in the evi dence of the prosecution. Watson is a poor, hard-weprking man. Frail his wife became acquainted velin Faulkner, he says. she was always hap py and contented with him. At present Weston is living on a farm near New Market He has his daughter with him. Mrs. Weston is about 30 years old and g-ood looking. Faulkner is a, widower, about 50 y-ears old, and reputed to be living in Brooklyn. His reputation has aiways been high He spends his winters in New York and lives at his country home la the aummer. ON Fillialrili Secret of a Kansas Soldier Sealed by a Bullet. Strange Case of One of the Brave Twentieth. IIIS QUEER CONFESSION Thought Ile Was Dying and Told All. Found Death Ile Courted When Crawled Back. The Karsas man had served with Fulaston in the Philippines, had return ed safely. had been a town hero for Et month or so, and was riOW on the stump in the campaign, adeocating, like all the soldiers who had been on the ground and had come back, that policy whim would mean the full retention of the isl ands under the American flag, says a writer in the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Sev eral of the campaign or7rtors had met for a Sunday in a western hotel where their roads crossed in their journeys to assignments, and were comparing notes. The man who had served with Punston gradually assumed command of the coil versation, and the talk drifted from a discussion of the question why men rushed to serve in the Philippine cam paign to one of the problem why men, in many cases unexpectedly, show not only rare bravery but downright reck lessness in battle. The leansas man, for whom the name Maxwell will do as far as the article is concerned, said: "As I was saying,. we feund men out there who had been and whose par ents were glad to see them enter the army; we found men who had been crossed in love; we found men who had been a, failure in life, even if they were mere youthe; we found many daredev ils, and. curiously enough, most of them were cautious on the firing line; We found some that had pasts that thee wanted forgotten; we found some under assumed names, for one reason or an other; we found the usual number of bullies, braggarts and bluffers, and be ing once under fire was the cure for them. But all these made up a- very small number in comparison with those who had enlisted for love of country, With perhaps a- desire fur adventure thrown ill. BOND A QUEER FELLOW. "But of all the curious characters I came across the strangest was a man named Bond. He was silent as to his past; lie made few friends; there was a glitter in his eye when we were in dan ger which eves positively magnetic, and we came gradually to reepect his re serve and to be proud of him. There was one man in our company, however, whose propensity for nosing into others' aftairs was especially marked, and who. it was plain to be eeen, was offensive to Bond. The name of Peters Will do for this inquisitive maze He was a. good fellow and meant nothing more than friendly interest when be was poking around to find out all about his com panions, and we learned at last to over look his weakness--all but Bond. It was evident that Bond was desirous of cur ing I'eters or of punishing him for his offensive behavior. Bond gradually be came reckless on the firing line. Any one could see it was not assumed, but was genuine, arid this "conduct deepened the mystery as to his past and made Peters the more zealous to find out all about him. -One day E'ond fell with a wound. Pe ters carried hire to the rear, cared foe him, stayed by him as long as he could. did everything that eould be done under the circumstances, like offering to write home and all that sort of thing-. Bond spent half an hour in deep thought. He was apparently sizing up his chances of living. He was also thinking whether it was worth while to forgive Peters for the past or to give him a thrust he would never forget It was about mid night that Peters returned to his place vk-ith us and the next morning he had a story to tell to three of us in whom he confided." Maxwell paused and, just as his hear OOT DUE TO CLIMATE. Catarrh Is Found Everywhere. Catarrh is at home anywhere and everywhere. 'While more common in cold, changea-ble climates. it is by no means confined to them, but is preval ent in every state and territory in the union. The common definition of catarrh is a chronic cold in the bead, which if long neglected often destroys the sense of smell and hearing; but there are many other forms of the disease, even more obstinate and dangerous. Catarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes as well as catarrh of the stomach and liver are almost as common as nasal catarrh and generally more diffi cult to cure. C'atarrh is undoubtedly a blood dis ease and can only be successfully eradi cated by an Internal treatment; sprays, washes a,nd powders are useless as far as reaching the real seat of the disease is concerned. Dr. McIverney advises catarrh suffer ers to use a new preparation, sold by druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets. because actual analysis has shown these tablets to contain certain a,nti septic qualities of the highest value and being Etn Internal remedy, pleasant to the taete, convenient and harmless, can be used as freely as required, as well for children as for adults An attorney and public speaker, who had been a catarrh sufferer for years, says: "Every fall I would catch a cold which would settle in my head and throat and hang on all winter long and every win ter it se-emed to get a little worse. I vvas continually clearing my throat and my voice beca,me effected to such an extent as to interfere with my public speaking. I tried troehes and cheap cough cures and sometimes got relief, but only for a short time, until this winter when I learned of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, through a nevcspaper advertisement. Two fifty cent boxes which I bought at my drug gists cleared my head and throat in fine shape. and to guard against a return of my old trouble I keep a box of the tab lets on hand. and whenever I catch a. little cold I take a tablet or two and ward off any ef,riaus developments." Stuart's CatarTh Tablets deserves to hea,d the list as a household remedy, to check and break.up coughs and colds, because unlike many other catarrh and cough cures these tablets contain no opiate, ceocalne dr any injurious drug. ers were becoming uneasy, he said this was the story Peters had related: "Boys, we've got a, murderer among usnot only a murderer, but the worst kind of one, a man 'who killed his fath- 1 er. and who if it were proved against him would, up to this time, have pre tended that it was a-n accident. He's Bond. REASON FOR RECKLESSNESS. "It explains why he has been so reck less lately: he wanted to be killed. Mat ter of conecience, you see. He whisper ed it all to me, asked me to write home, saying that he was dead and had passed away forgiving every one and revealing the secret. His name isn't Bond, but I'm under pledge not to tell what it is. lie asked me to write without waiting for him to die actually, and he wanted me to get him reported dead, so that it would cabled home; said his friends would recognize him under the assumed name. lt's a, rnighty sad story. "Bond told me that he came from Ohio. His father was a bank president, and was found murdered in the bank vault two years ago,. Robbers had killed him and had made their escape. He had evidently surprised them. Young Bond was the real murderer. He was just un der 21. He had been stealing from his father's private business for more than a, year so as to keep on gambling with a fast set of young fellows whom a, sharp er got together regularly, and was plun dering right along. On Bond's tweritY first birthday there had to be a, settle ment of the books, for his father in tended to -take him into business part nership. Bond had to have not less thar $5,000 to make good his stealings. There was no other way left to him than to steal it. He knew all about the bank. tbe combinations to the locks, the ways of the watchman, and all that, and he had studied up knock-out drops. He left some liquor that had been doctored with drugs for the watchman to drink, knowing the man's weakness, and the rest was easy. He entered the bank from the rear stealthily, having made sure that the watchman was uncon scious, had just got into the inner vault, when he heard a noise and saw a dim light in the outer room. He knew he could not be the watchman, and he once raised his revolver for action alid crouched to one side. Then he heard a voice. saying: 'My God! I must have killed him. I didn't know it was so powerful. Wake up, Mike!' MEETING IN BANK- VAULT. "There was no response, and Bond says he recognized the voice as that of his father just in time, for haintended to shoot and escape in a rush if possi ble. Then Bond became conscious of his own danger. His father might shoot him. The afther soon saw the open doors of the vault. 'What does this mean?' he said. 'Alike, you didn't do this; you couldn't! 'Who is there? Speak, or shoot. Quick!' Then it was that Bond saw he had no show. and he shouted to his father not to shoot, and revealed his ewn identity. "Then there followed a. strange scene in that bank vault. There were the father, the son, and the unconecious watchman together in the early hours of the morning. ''What does this mean. son?' said the father, sternly. 'Has it come to thismy son a bank robber?' Young- Bond said he was game, and he replied, 'What are you doing here': Are you a bank robber yourself? Who put Alike in this condition?' You see he, had overheard his father make that exclamation about Alike, and be took chances. 'Explain your position on the inside of that vault,' said the father. 'Explain what you said about not know ing that something was so powerful when you saw Mike,' said the son. And then the father bio,ke down completely, and the son went to pieces, and each, thinking that Mike was about to clic, confessed to the other. The father had been speculating in the eastern markets, had used up a lot of trust funds in his charge, and the only way for him to get out was to rob his own bank. He had also left some knockout drops for the watchman, 8.nd it was the combined dose that made father and son think that the man would die. The son owned up to the father, and then followed a discussion as to what was best to be done. "They agreed that the bank must be robbed: that was their only salvation. They agreed a.Iso that it would be best for one of them to appear to be defend ing' the bank's treasure. It was finally decided that it would be best for the son to wound his father slightly in the side, take enough money to suit their purposes and leave his father there to be cljscovered in the morning. The, old man said he was sc, desperate thnt would take chances. and he would tell a story about feeling' une-asy in his dreams as to the condition of affairs at the bank, and of getting up in the night a,nd going down there to see if all was right, of encountering a ronber or eet of robbers, of having. a, mighty struggle with them, ending, so far as he could recollect, v,-ith a revolver shot which made him unconscious He Lad 110 fear as to Mike. If Mike recovered be would be ao ashamed of being drunk that he would invent some story of be ing gagged, especially as father and son had arranged to bind him waive. gag and tie his hands. "Then father and son planned the de tails of the shooting, disarranged the furniture, bound and gaeged the watch man, took the money a,nd broke the loeks, and the father lay flOWT1 atter tearing his clothing 'and had the son give him what he supposed was Only a slight flesh wound in the side, The old man was full of nerve. and after the shooting' was over hurried the son away and told him how to act when the dieeovery was made in the morning. They had wounded the watchman also. "Bond says he went home and to bed and acted his part thoroughly, v,-ben they roused him to tell him of the dreadful accident to his father. It turned out really to, be a dreadful affair for both the father and the watchman were found dead and the bank robbed. Young Bond says he made good his gambling debts and enlisted in the army so as to get a-way from the storm that arose when it was found that his father was insolvent. It soon became the general theory in the town that the elder Bond had gone there to rob the bank and ba.d been killed by EL real bank robber, and there v,ere those who thought they could re member the exact looks of certain mys terious strangers that had been seen about town. CONSCIENCE MADE HIM ENLIST. "Bond's conscience could stand it no longer, he says, and he went to Kan sas and enlisted and came out here, hoping- secretly tha,t he would be killed, for he had not the courage to commit suicide. He wanted me to write to his relatives clearing lip, the entire mystery and telling- them that he had expiated his crime, so far as he could, by dying for his country. The one thing I can't understand." said Peters, in telling the story. "is why he wants me to write all this before he dies. He must have a. dreadful conscience. He said to me: 'I am wounded exactly in the place in which my father was wounded when I shot him. I know I can't live. Just tell the truth about me, and make sure that the boys Will not despise me too much. I have done my duty by them and by the flae,' says he. I broke clown and wept, I'll admit, and I'm prepared to say that there's no living soul but has some good in him, And then th,ere's the duty of deciding what's to be done if Bond recovers. Ought we to give him away? say no."

The safest remedy for any form of piles whether itching or protruding is the Pyramid Pile cure because free from cocaine a,nd opiates.

NV Ea. Halley Dies in an Asylum at St. Joe. St. Joseph, Mo., Jan. 5.Only a few of Charles William Quantrell's followers are living, and the last one remaining in this section died in the asylum in this city- He was William Halley, and in the days of the border warfare he was Qua-ntrell's lieutenant. He was a police man twelve years before his mind gave way, and proved to be one of the most daring- officers In any western city. William Halley was nineteen years old in 1861, when he joined Quantrell. He was in jail in Independence, Mn., Closely guarded by Jennison's men. Further than that, he was under sentence of death for the killing' of two men who had invaded the home of his mother. Early one morning, on a spring day, Quantreil and his nen rode into the tow-n and scattered the union soldiers stationed there. They opened the doors of the jail and invited the prisoners to come forth. Nearly ail the prisoners were young men. held on trumped-up charges. and in jail because they were southern sympathizers. Halley was among them. Where do you want to go?" Quan trell asked thern The men said they wanted to join Price's army, and they were furnished with horses and equipped for the jour ney. -Three months later a number of them joined Price, but many of them remained with Quantrell. Hadley was one of the men who re mained with the desperate leader of the little band. He remained with Quan trell throughout the war, until the lat ter received his death wound and was with him when he died In Kentucky. Halley was born in Frankfort. Ky., and came to Missouri in 1K,O. After ha was rescued from the jail at Indepen dence the other members of the family were compelled to leave, and removed to Weston, where they remained twenty years. When the other guerillas went into train robbing and other unlawful pur suits, Halley left them and came to this city. He knew Jesse James when the latter lived in this city under the name of Howard. In fact, Halley was a mem ber of the police force at the time, and saw Jesse James daily, but no look of recognition ever passed between them when they were observed. Before Halley became insane he was the best authority in the United States on train robbing. He knew all the train robbers of the early days, and has pre served a. careful record of every train robbery in the United States since the first one was committed at Centralia. Mo., on September 24. 1864. when thirty two Union soldiers were killed by Bill Anderson and his band, who robbed the train. That was a, short time after Halley bad left the band. Halley has written a record of the train robberies, having obtained the in formation regarding' many of the early robberies from the robbers themselves. It is preserved among Ids papers, and t z

As the action of the opera. is laid in the fifteenth century, on the Sicilian coast, admirable, opportunities have Hilda Clark, of the Bostonians, been given the costumer for picturesque display in the scarlet and silver doublet and fleshings of this character. It will be the first role in which this young' prima donna has ever appeared in tights, and it was only after many diplomatic negotiations that she was in duced to assume the role. Among the newcomers of the Bosto nians is Albert Parr, a handsome young tenor, who has created a sensa,tion by Lis forceful rendition of the ballad "Jost for a Day," one, of the features in this opera Adele Rafter, a, beautiful young contralto., v,-ill also be heard in this Walker Whiteside. opera. as will also Barnabee.

The present Herrmann's tricks are old and new; some cf them original with him, others familiar to those who saw his famous umLle. He mystifies his audiences just like his predecessor did. He fools their vision by sleight-of-hand work and unseen and tinguessed agen CiPS, and qn the same proportion that they are illusioned thev are pleased.

This Herrmann, like his great uncle, "re veals what he conceals and concea,ls what he reveals" so cleverly,- that all the admiration and enthusiasm accorded the fwmi-ler of the black and mystic art in the family goes out to him, as though the dead had risen and was behind the footlights again. "STRANGER IN NEW :YORK" noyt's "A Stranger in New York" comes to the Crav,-ford I'donday night. This farce is claimed to be one of the brightest efforts of the late Charles Hoyt, and the claim has apparently been substantiated for it is certainly one of the most popular of all comedies. This season's production is said to be up to the mark set by the author and a complete new scenic environment is used to add to the pretty picture and as an effective setting for the handsome cos tumes called for throughout the action of the play. Particularly the second and third acts, which introduce the French Ball scene. The story, vvhich is familiar to theater-goers, is that of a stranger in our largest city, who by accident finds a letter addressed to a well-known member of the smart set of Ness, York city. The stranger delivers the letter, ricA knowing its contents, which intro duces a Chicago man of prominence who has come to New York for a. good time and who lost the letter. The natural inference of the recipient la. that the bearer is the one mentioned in the letter, a rid, without allowing the stranger to explain, he is Immediately introduced into the set and started into a round of gayeties for which New York is famous, Windin" up with a, night at the French ball at'Madison Square Gar den. It is easy to see what an oppor 11, 3 ;;71,- 4, 1

The dialogue is brisk and witty, the ac tion always quick, and brilliant music with entertaining specialties are inter spersed at frequent intervals -throughout the unfolding' of the story. It con tains a slam On Topeka, wbich Topeka, doesn't like. The company is headed by the McCoy sisters and Sam Marion. who have been with the Hoyt attractions for several years. having been featured with the' original company in this play, They have just returned from the Australian tour of -A Stranger in New, York," and besides the parts they play are introducing- a new departure in terpsichore that is a, decided success and most artistic. Rain E. Kearney is the "Stranger." His methods are thoroughly clever anti hi comedy productive of much that s him a worthy successor to those whom be follows in that rojp. WALKER WHITESIDE. The announcement of Walker White side at the Crawford next Thursday is made. Mr. Whiteside visited Topeka last year in "The Red Cockade." He played Topeka twice before irt "Ham let." MY FRIEND FROM INDIA. My Friend From India" will again visit Topeka on Friday night and the week's amusements will end Saturday night with "O'HooligaWs Wedding.", Looking Backward. This has been a really impurtant week in Topeka from a theatrical standpoint. Of cours:e the most important feature of the week was Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske's appearance in "Becky Sharp." One can not help admiring this dainty little American actress who haa display ed such wondetful nerve. Standing as she in the Nery front rank of her profession. he has refused to surrender her art to the dictates of a powerful, wealthy and relentless comoination of manaers, knowing that she would suf fer financial loss in consequence. One after another the stars were gathered in, but Mra Fiske stamped her pretty fooc, snapped her finger in their faces and told them to let her alone. They didn't do it and have since made thing's rather uncomfortable for her, but she continues on the even tenor of her waY uncomplainingly. Her manager asked for a date in Kansas City this season. It was refused because the Kansas City managers were afraid of the syndicate and so Mrs. Fiske went around Kansas City; That is why Topeka got-her and Kansas City didn't. What a. finished pie-ce of work is her Becky Sharp! Could anyone portray Thackeray's famous character half 60 well? Ails. Fiske is always womanly. She never oversteps the boundaries and one sees in her the living embodiment 'If Becky Sharp and her associates. It is as if the book had become endowed with life and, as the pages are turned before our eyes, there appear the moving ba ings of whom we have before only been granted brief mental pictures. Then there was Robert Downing, who is growing fat as he grows older. He still wears the same bland like expres sion, -has tile same mellifluous voice which argues that he might be a suc cess in light opera. He always has seem ed a trifle out of place as a, tragedian and at last he says he is going to try comedy. The transition from Ingamar to modern comedy is not great and perhaps Mr. Downing will be a success,but those who have seen Louis James wallowing around in comedy roles will have little hope for Mr. Downingstill the leap will not be such a long one. Mr. Down ing was not seen to an advantage in To peka this season because the Grand Opera. House where he appeared was so cold and the people were wondering continually whether he would not be frozen into an icicle at any moment. His leading lady,Miss ..A.lberta Converse, gives promise of a brilliant future. 1:e. some one Will take her by the hand or hair and drag her out of the so-called "romantic drama" she may be heard from. She is pretty and shows a keen conception of her lines. The second appearance of Eugenie Blair in Topeka in "A Lady of Quality was not the success it should have been. The other attractions received the lion's share but, nevertheless, Miss Blair is a success. Her Clorinda Wildairs is an excellent piece of work and to those who did not see Julia Arthur in the part Miss Blair is an excellent substitute. "The Christian" came to Topeka for the first time last night. To be sme Miss Viola Allen was not here--not evea Ellie Ells ler, but some effort was ex pended in securing the cast and the production was as a whole satisfactory. The company is one of the largest that ha-s been here this season and had it not been for the fact that the play was booked for the same night as Mrs. Fiske the audience would have been large. STRAUSS ORCHESTRA COXING.

Will Be at the Grand Opera House on January 16. The Strauss orchestra has been se cured for one night, January 16, at the Grand opera house. This is the second tour in AmeHca of Eduard Strauss, he having visited the country in 1890, when he gave sixty-one grand concerts in all the large cities, and was received by immense crowds with acclamation and delight On the present tour he will perform in over one hundred cities in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Eduard Strauss is the youngest of the three Strauss brothers (Johann, Josef and Eduard), sons of the great Johann Strauss, the founder of the famous Strauss orchestra in 1823. The Emperor of Austria has long been the patron and admirer of the Strauss family, and he has distinguished them with the heredi tary title of imperial and royal musicAl director of Austria-Hungary, Eduard Strauss having held that exalted posi tion since 1872. He ha,s been a. hard worker in the art of music for nearly forty years. and has traveled all over the world. -Without counting the thou sands of concerts he has given in Vienna., Holland and Scandinavia. he has been three times in London, twice in St. Petersburg, sixteen times in Ber lin, sixteen in Munich and seventeen in Cologne. His great orchestra, has per Samuel Marion, Hoyt's A Stranger in New York." formed a,t fourteen international expo sitions and at all the great courts of Europe. In the last twenty-two years he has visited over eight hundred cities in two hemispheres. He is commander, officer. or knight of twelve orders of knighthood, and has received valuable presents from thirty-two different mon archs. His personal musical composi tions aggregate three hundred pcpular pieces, and over two hundred arrange ments of opera and concert pieces. Such immense work speaks for itself. MP four members of the Strauss fam ily have, since 1823, given to the wcorld of music more than 1.500 works. all of which have become famous and popu lar. The Strauss- v,altzes are the class ics of the dance. The ba,nd is composed of fifty of the specially selected or-, chestra players of Germany, who ha,ve worked under hia baton for many years, and their grand work has made, them famous all over the face of the globe. IT IS A DRANT. Stage Contest of Pugilists Fitsimmons and J'effries. A New York Teleg-raph sporting edi tor has given pen to the following dra matic criticism: New Yorkers have re cently had an opportunity to compare the histrionic abilities of two of our greatest actorsJames J. Jeffries and Robert Fitzsimmons. In the --Honest Blacksmith" Fitzsimmons has shown natural talent and an earnestness of purpose very commendable. At tiraes he rises to the dramatic heights and posi tively thrills his. auditors. This is quite noticeable in the scene wherein he tosses ..1 ,S-4,:.---' :-,;:i-',."1;1.1:;4'14'(1 -,:f.--------7:::,;:;:,-.

a. 190-pound Villain through a window, carrying away sash and glass (papier mache). In the lighter scenes, notably that in which he shoes a horse, Fitz simmons developed a vein of bubbling comedy that was decidedly refreshing. On the whole, Fitzsimmons' perform ance is a crus,hing refutation of the the ory that a tighter knows oniy enough to fight. On the other hand, Jeffries, while inc. the vivacity and humorous elasticity orhis rival, deports himself with a re pressiort that is most admirable. Al though able to vanquish all his foes, yet he restrains himself and overwhelms them by his majestic mien He is some what handicapped by being compelled by the author to save the worst actor in the play. However Jeffries bears up well and emerges triumphantly at the windup. After a dispassionate survey of the points scored by both men I feel con strained to declare the bouta. draw. HAIR TURNED GlEtEEN.

New York Soubrette Has an Unpleas ant Experience. New York, Jan. Verona, a soubrette, of No. 132 East Seventeenth street, a few months ago decided that ber personal appearance would be im proved if she could tint her naturally golden hair a russet hue. She according ly purchased a concoction known as powdered henna leaves and applied it in solution with the desired effect. Miss Verona. a, week a,go yesterday de cided to apply it a,gain, and at the drug store of John Kiehl, Third avenue and Thirteenth street, purchased some pow dered henna. leaves. Ilnat evening she applied the compound in solution to her hair. The next morning on arising Miss Verona looked in a mirror and fell in a fainther hair had turned a brilliant green. Her friends came in, condoled with her to her face and laughed hilariously be hind her back- Miss Verona shed bitter tears and spent the greater share of two da,ys and three nights in an effort to wash the green tint out, but all efforts proved unavailing'. Various hairdressers experimented with strands of the green hair and said they were sorry for Miss Verona Ex pert chemists told her the only thing she could do was to have it dyed jet black Then Miss Verona got angry and w-ent down to see her lawyer, M. Strassrnan, of No. 853 Broadway, who brought suit against Mr. Kiehl for $5,000 damages. Mr. Kiehl told a. reporter yesterday that Miss Verona purchased the powder ed henna leaves without telling him for what purpose. "She had beautiful golden hair," said Mr. Kiehl, "but when she came in next day it was as green as parsley. We have had the preparation anal3rzed and hnl it to be pure. In ordinary circumstances it would impart a reddish hue to yellow hair, but in this case it seems to have turned it green. Had the young woman told me what she intended doing with it I would have advised her against 11S ing it, since it has powerful astringent properties and its peculiar qualities are not really understood by the best of chemists." MISS GLASER'S JEWEL-- It Came From a Nobleman Under Pe culiar Circumstances. Lulu Glaser is the possessor of a jewel, the history of which makes a good story. It was given to her during the early days of her association with the Francis Wilson Opera. company with which. she was seen in Topeka last sea son. They were playing "The Lion Tamer" in Omaha and working their way to the Pa,cific coast. During the fifst night of the Omaha engagement the soubrette noticed a young man sitting in the front row of the orchestra chairs who kept his eyes fixed on her and smiled divinely all the time she was singing. The young woman had heard of the masher class, and thought here was an example. He came every night and pur sued the same tactics. In San Francisco on the opening night there sat the same srniling youth. One night she received a note from the man whom she had thought was smitten with, her. Ve-ith it came the jewel, and the stranger said he was sailing next day for China, but wished to thank her for giving him EO many pleasant hours. His name was appended. Inquiry re vealed these facts: He wa,s an Italian of rank making a tour of the world and he was stone blind! DOWNING IN COMEDY.

Wilt Appear This Season in "Paris in 1793." Robert Downing, who was seen in Topeka this week in "Ing-omar" and "Richard the Lion-hearted," contem plates entering comedy. His tour has been arranged so that he Will play in Indianapolis, Ind.. in three weeks. Following his engagement there he will again make a tour through the west in a new comedy called "Paris in 1793." It was prepared especially for him, and a,s the name implies gives ample opportunity for striking anti clever situa,tions. Mr. Downing antici pates great success with his new piece. "Ingomar" Will be reconstructed, and Will be used for matinees. SAPHO'S NEW ROLE.

Miss Lillian Atwood Has a New Play This Season. Lillian Atwood who was seen in To peka during the latter part of last sea son in a, version of "Sapho" is this year starring in a new play called "For Her Sake." It is a Russo-Sitkerian play and does not differ greatly from "Michael Edna Wallace-Hopper's Great Scene in the Second Act 6,Florodora" Is a Ripping Hit. i 1

Wilson Bar rett is just out in an indictment of the custom. Charles Dalton wants a new play to relieve him of the monotony of "The Sign of the Cross." The week before Christmas was an idle week with him, and he spent it in New York in search of a, new play. Bronson Ifoward's "Shena,ndoah" is at last to be given to the English stage, but it is to be adapted and dressed to the circumstances of the case and called "Ladysmith." Mr. Howard may have something to sa,y about this. The announcement comes from Chicago that Julia, Arthur is done with the stage, and those who had hoped to see this youthful actress climb to a famous posi tion will be disappointed. Her husband made the announcement in a heartlessly blunt way, and seemed glad of it. -Madame Rejane has just scored a suc cess in a, play which even in Paris they say is too wicked for her. There are other things to advertise it, however, for a thief pretending to be an electrician en tered Rejane's apartments a few days ago and got away with some money and jew elry. "The Mormon 'Wife" is the name of a play which is to take advantage of the prominence which the sect of Utah has re cently enjoyed and will shortly be pro duced. It is the work of Charles E. Bla ney and Madeline Mer Mr. Blaney will probably deal out some Mormon sensa tions. Mr. and Mrs. Nat C. Goodwin have com bined upon the definite announcement that they will produce "The Merchant of Venice" at the Knickerbocker Theater in February. With Mansfield as Henry V, Sothern as Hamlet and Nat Goodwin as Shy lock can we assert that Shakespeare is neglected? Della Fox was given a, great ovation the other night in making her first ap pearance after her sudden weddim-, was a, stolen march upon alC of her friends. She has not decided to retire from the vaudeville stage immediately, however. for vaudeville patrons have treated her kindly. Charles IL Yale says there is no more expensive bra,nch of the theatrical busi ness than that of producing- spectacular extravaganza Every season, no matter how successful the piece is, new SeelliC effects must be contrived and new specialties secured. It is to this idea that Mr. Yale attributes the SUCCeSS he has won in "The Devil's Auction' and the other spectacular pieces that he ha,s given. There must be truth in his assertion. for it will be remembered that in spite of the tremendous success that David Henderson achieved his expense was so great that he finally succumbed. Lev,-is Morrison will soon revisit Topeka. with his old production. "Faust." Charles J. Ross has left Weber Fields. He claimed that because Ite was up in his part there was no need of attending a rehearsal, but the management thought otherwise and asked him to attend or re sign.

There are eeveral gentlemen who ap parently are wiliirg to do the Moses act for the Democratic party of the nation The editor of the Chicago, Inter-Ocean has seen Mr. Harmeworch's edition of the New York World and doesart like TheBoers' siotrrces of aMintinitiOn simply is no longer a. mystery.

Perhaps the members of the Ilissourt tlouse representa,tives thought they didn't need G. doorkeeper pos-sessing Frank James' peculiar qualifications. Agulnaldo is dead again. The period cf his latest taking off is dated ba,ck in to the last century, probably with a iew to rounding out an incomplete rec ord. Four years ago a coterie of Demo crats set to work to keep Is Ir. Bryan in the race for president Now anothcr cotetie is trying just as hard to keep 1 Lim out. Bryan says Cleveland is no Democrat and Cleveland says Brya-n is no Demo crat, but everybody knows that Hill is a Democrat- Ire has salli so himself, many times It looks as though Senator Pettigrew's ambition to talk the ship subsidy bill to doath, might fail of gratification. Other gentlemen are succeeding very well in keeping it down. There appears to be one common ground on which the ex-presidents and the defeated presidential candidates can meet on an equality lend that is when the duck. shooting is to be found. The value placed by the missionary society upon its Own members who were killed by the boxers, is $20,000 per head. One missionary appears to be just as valuable as another. Washington Post: The Chicago grand jury has Indicted a state sena,tor for keeping a gambling house. It appears that there is to be TIO encouragement for the politician who tries to make an honest living. It is charged that the Republican party is the party of the moneyed class es, and the Republican party grows big ger from year to year. Does this mean that all of us may enter the moneyed class in time? Inter-Ocean: The year 1900 beat all records in the commercial lhistory of this country, and the year 1.901 starts off with ever indication that the year 1910 will be outclassed. Prices are advancirg in ail lines of industry and trade, and ona cf the most cheerful signs of the times is that the products of the farm are tLavine more than their share or the advance. DEZIOCRATS ARE JEALOUS. According to re-cent dispatches the eastern Democracy has decided to re organize their party, and ex-President Cieveland, David B. Hill, William C. Whitney and other prominent members are in the initial movement A Samuel J. Tilden club with a shib buleth of tariff reform, opposition, to subsidies, against centralization of rower. and only simon-pure Democrats for office, has been incorporated. In a word. W. J. Bryan and his Populist friends are to be thrown overboard, under the claim that the Beyond defeat of the silver ist,,ue means that the Ne braskan must be put out of all consider at;Jrt as a 1.-wesilential candidate in 1904. This pilgrimage towards the gold rrie,cit has been ha-stened by the report that John P. Altgeid and John P. Hop kins had joined forces for the purpose r reorganizing the Illinois DemocracY. 1;ut bile lb,pkins and Altgeld declare f--,r a gold standard platform. they are to be bitterly opposed to placing 4x-President Cleveland again in leader ship. Especially is this feeling directed 1,,waras former Comptroller of the Cur rtn, Ecliels, always closely asaociated with the New Jersey statesman. This state of affairs places the party of Jef ferson and Jackson much in the light of a barrel of mixed pickles. The east ern wing desires Cleveland and gold, the Illinois wing the yellow metal with out Grover, with the mountain states to hear from. Necessary to either branch is the south, and its support is a factor that must count most of all. There is no question of a doubt that while this section gave Mr. Bryan loyal support in the late campaign, it did so under pro test. The southern states have vast flelds of iron and cotton for which they desire a world's market, and right or wrong. the policy of expansion was most popular below Ma-son and Dixon's line. The color question and tradition an chored them to Democratic moorings, but the hawser line was frail indeed. Should the Illinois wing declare for a gold standard, suppression of trusts, a. liberal tariff reform, and expansion with self-govetmment in its wake, a. large band wagon indeed would be required to hold the delegates from the Blue Ridge down to the Gulf of Mexico that WOUld flock into camp tinder such, a banner. The Samuel J. Tilden club must hustle if it leads the procession in reorg-anizing the Democratic party. It W ill be a struggle between two factions Well worth watching'. And what will Mr. Bryan be doing in the meantime? MR. BAKER'S TEMPTATION. 'United States Senator' Lucien Baker whose term of public service is drawing rapidly to a close probably thinks often of the time when before his eyes was dangled the tempting bait of a federal judgeship for life. He turned sorrow fully from the bait and in doing' so de clined the prize which is the highest am bition of a. lawyer's life. If Mr. Baker had accepted the place he would have been false to his old part ner and many friends but that often does not count for much in politics. It is told that President McKinley urged him to accept the appointment. Added to this was a great deal of presgure from the friends of Mr. Burton who wanted him elected to the unexpired term. Mr. Baker bad endorsed his partner, NT. C. Hook. for the position and he would have been compelled to appear in the rather selfish role of taking what be had already promised to another be sides being' false to his partner. He took Et most manly stand when he de clined to do so. It is to be presumed that Mr. Baker then believed that he could be re elected without difficulty but at best his position was subject to the political tide of a. state which Ls not always con stant to an idol. The result is that Mr. Baker goes back to his law business in Leavenworth. He is a good lawyer and is not a poor man and so it will not matter much to him after all. VACCINATION CRUSADE. The problem that is causing the most alarm in many Topeka, households just nov,- is not where is the roast beef for Sunday's dinner going to come from, or how shall Mary have a new Easter bornet, hut what will be the result of this horrid vaccination crusade, that the board of health is pushing so vigorously that non-complying people cannot sleep o' nights. It seems like a. step backward Into the dark ages to reopen an old debate that the 3-ears of trial and experier-!e of the medical profession generally, following Dr. Jenner's early experiments, have most effectually and affirmatively de cided and cleed. The positive value of vaccination is almost axiomatic, and it would seem that the day has gone by when there was any further necessity for demonstration. -When the dark suspicion is pursued to the bottom of the woodpile, it begins to look as if it was not the ma-tter of effectiveness that is questioned, but the matter of convenience and inconven ience. How large a. percentage of peo ple there may be who consider them selves immune from the diseases that science says and the world generally believes vaccination alone can render one immune from does not count great ly in this discussion. They are not nearly so numerous as to provide the large number of non-compliants that the figures show in our public schools. Society raistd its voice in opposition to the disfiguring, of its fair daughters by the unsightly vaccination scar some years ago.. A way was found out of that difficulty quite readily. Now that the question has come vp again in Topeka, and an energetic bcyard of health demands a return to the old usage of compulsory vaceina tion, it is little wonder that Some con sternation is created. The latest sug gestion is causing more worry than all the previous threats of enforcement. If it be a ball or a party, any Or all of the Topeka High school misses would glory in their handsome party dresses, with their algebraic sleeves, plus and minusprincipally minus. But for a. test. so as to get into a methodical way for g-uarding the public health, "horrors on horrors' beads accumulate"it is simply unthinkable. The board of health will have to hunt up some other plan to get its method into working order, perhaps. to over come this obstacle, but its ideas are all right. and will eventually prevail. NEED OF COUNTRY POSTOFFICES Tbe postaffice department has a hobby. and that hobby is the free rural delivery routes. The department is go ing ahead as fast ,as it can in establish ing these routes and is azking no ques tions of anyone except the people who live directly along the route and peti tion to have it ei,-tablished. It is a pecu liarity of the postoffice department that they get fads or bobbies, and when they do get thern they ride them to death. The free rural delivery route is all right for the people who live along the line, but it is mighty finconvenient for the farmer who lives a mile from the line. This inconvenience is caused by the de partment. which insists upon discon tinuing the postoffices in the rural dis tricts which chance to be located :tear the line of the proposed free delivery route. This postothce is a great coavenience to the farmer who does riot live directly upon the route, for he can go to the office and get -his mail and buy his stamps when he pleases. With the es tablishment of the free delivery route the country postoffice is discontinued and the farmer who does not live along the route must drive to tbe line of the rout and wait until the carrier comes along so that he can register his letter or buy his stamps. Why should the de partment discontinue the postoffiee and diecommode the farmer who is so un fortunate as to live off the line of the route? Why not keep both the free de livery 8,nd .the country postcrffice? In nine cases out of ten the country post office is in a store where general mer chandise is sold, and where the farmer will go almost every day. By abolish ing the potoffice the business of the store is ruined, and the man who, runs it is compelled to go out of business. The tendency of the free delivery routes as they are now operated Is to cause all the business to go to the towns from which the routes head. The excuse the government offers for the abolishment of the country post office when a rural route Is established in that neighborhood is that the ex pense of paying for the star route serv ice to suppy the office is too great. The government seems to be too thick headed to figure on making the carrier who delivers the rural mail tcP people along his route carry the mail to the postoffice. This could be done without additional cost, and would be an easy solution of the maeter of expense 8.nd accommodation, things the postoffice department prides itself upon. I.et the country office stay 021d keep on establishing the rural routes. 'rile officials of the postoffiee department could do this if they desired. SALE OF THE HOTEL THROOP. The Hotel Throop which has just beeq sold. is a product of Topeka's boom. It is' known as one of the best hostelries 'ck be found in a city the size of Topeka and would certainly be an ornament to a place twice as large. But the Throw) hotel would probably never have been built had it not been for the impetuousnet-s of its owner, CoL H. B. Throop. Col. Throop was made rich by Topeka boom. He owned a large amount of re-al estate between the city and Washburn college and the raw prairie was turned into town lots with profitable celerity and as a consequence Col. Throop was even rated as a millionaire, It is told that he was living at a cer tain hotel and that the proprietor took exceptions to his conduct on one or two occasions. Ile turned upon the Boniface with withering wrath and said: "I will leave your hotel, and I will build one of my own that will put your house so far in the shade that you will not know you are in the hc-el business." The Hotel Throop was the result. No pains nor expense were spared to make it as fine a hotel as could be found any where arid Col. Throop's venture so far S a success. But then came the un expected, the collapse of the boom. Col. Throop found his fortune slipping awav and also found himself with an expeo sive business on his hands. Be made a heroic fight but vi'as compelled to give up and he stood by and saw the magnif icent edifice which had cost him P240,- 000 go to the eastern mortgagees for the comparatively paltry consideration of $74.000. Col. Throop is dead but he left behind him in Topeka a magnificent monument the HotelThroop--and it is to be hoped the new proprietors will not erase the name from the front OUR EX-PRESIDENT'S. From the Washington Star. In a speech at Indianapolis ex-President Harrison made a suggestion that should not be taken too seriously. lie said: "The decapitation of the ex-president when the oath of office has been. admin istered to his successor would greatly vivify a somewhat tiresome eertnonial. And we may some time solve the news paper problem what to do with our ex presidents in that conclusive way. Until then I hope an ex-president may be per mitted to live somewhere midway be tween the house of gossip and the crypt of the mummy." Now it is true that many people and many newspapers have worried them selves over the problem of what should be done with our ex-presidents. They have troubled themselves needlessly. The two ex-presidents that we now have left to us seem to have settled the matter to their own satisfaction and in ways at which few can elt Vil. They have both lived dignified lives and while each may feel that be has not been let sufficiently alone by gossip, neither can be said to have taken up a permanent abode in the crypt of the mummy. They are both very much alive, horny-ed a,nd respected citizens. Then, too. it is not easy to tell how long a maxi may re main an ex. Mr. Cleveland had the title for four years and then dropped it. So if he had really been decapitated at the end of his first term the history- of the eountry WOUIti have been entirely dif ferent. If Mr. Harrison and Mr. Cleve land had been formally separated front thEir heads when they left the presiden tial chair we would have missed some very good speeches from the one and the other would have missed some very good fishing. GLOB,E BIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. If you desire to be contented, don't appreciate favors by comparison. Instead of buying an article you do not need of an agent, p,ay what you owe. Some 'benefit comes out of every thing. The girls who wear their hair down over their ears do not need car muffs. You can walk along the streets of any town and pick out the men wh,i have the aggrieved feeling that they are twenty years too young for their Now that the boys who were borne for the holiday vacation have gone Lack to college, the fathers will begin a, rapid, recovery from that Suppressed Feeling. There is a saying that if you put your rnind on something you will finally get it. An Atchison man bas been trying to get his wife to make a suet pudding for fifteen. years, and hasn't yet -succeeded- When he has Lis overcoat on, the av erage man has nineteert pockets. The averag-e woman, with her cloak on, has two. A mart has five pockets in his pantaloons, five in his vest, four in his coat, and five irt his overcoat. Poetry: The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, tis said, and most mothers are content to let it go as read, except of course in Wichita: that's one particular point, where they not only rock the cradle, but rock the joint. You say the Law should be obeyed. It is unlawful to shoot quail. If you should be out rabbit hunting. and ac cidentally run across a big- bunch of quail, and nobody in sight. with a floe chance for a pot shot, would you obey the law? Or would you try to kill every quail in the bunch? POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News.) Adversity is often a blessing hi dis guise.. If men were like clocks they could all go on tick. The more checks a. spendthrift has the faster he goes Be fore marriage men and women argue; after that they dispute. Sometimes people stop at a hotel in order to escape home comforts. Some society snobs doubtless pity Adam because he had no ancestors. The antiquarian has no use for a thing until time has rendered it use less. A man must have a conscience in order to detect the wrongs of his neigh bor. A woman says there is no pleasure in suffering if it must be done in silence. Opportunities are often captured by hustlers while lazy men are aittirg on the fence waiting for them to come along. Trying to conduct EL large business without capital is a good deal like try ing to sharpen a lead pencil with a pa,r of scissors.

atrAKER REFL.ECTION3. From the Philadelphia. Record. Did you begin right? The mummers didn't keep mum. The horn of plenty was in evidence. There was a rustling of new leaves. 'The proof of the pudding Is in the digestion. Even a dull fellow can boce his way through life. With new leaves one good turn de serves another. Even the successful cook is apt to get things mixed. The cash register in a saloon is a sort of bar gain counter. No, Maude, dear; "Unleavened Bread" Is not a cook book. A man must often pocket his pride, but women have no pockets. The New Year's din took precedence over the New Year's dinner. Pew people are so busy helping' others that they can't stop to help themselves.

The Burden girls closed the year with a series of "k!ssing bees," which caused the serious editor of the Eagle to re mark: "This was right and hating, an opportune time to get rid of all our old idols and begin the new year and the new century with higher and more en nocling aspirations."

BOOK NOTES. A most interesting addition to the Ec lectic English Classics, now so widely used in secondary and preparatory schools, is the work "Selections From the ddylls of the King," by Alfred Tennyson. edited by Mary F. 'Willard of the John Marshall high school of Chicago. They should prove an excellent subject for study, and may be recommended to all schools of the class for which they are designed. In ad dition to the technical perfection of the poetry and the charm of the interesting story, there is found in them a moral sig niticance and insight. The book contains, in addition to the selections and introdue tion containing the origin and grovt-th of the Idylls, the history of the Arthurian legenthi. a chronology and a bibliography. The notes seem to be well edited and sof ðiciently full for the use of students. Top ics are also added for written reviews of the poem Published by American Book company. Through Kellam Book and Stationery company; "The White Flame," by Mary A. Cor nelius. published by the Stockham Pub lishing coznpany, is a volume that should certainly receive a hearty reception by that class of readers which demands a work of its charactera work born to bring higher thoughts and deeds into the world. It is an occult story, dramatic in expression and holding the attextion closely from beginning to end. Kellam Book and Stationery company. As bro.; been exemplified by many recent successes, the historical romance i on the high tide of popular favor, despite the prophecies of some literary experts. Messrs. B. C. Page Co. have recently published a collection of romances that will surely claim immediate attention. G.

They are all truly stirring romances of intrigue and adventure, love and w;tr, at the courts of the French kings. Kellam Book and Sta tionery company. "Elements of Physics," by Henry A.

The well told story records the adventures of two young English linight-errants, twin brothers. whose family motto gives the title to the taxik.

"Johnson's Phýsical Tulture" is a book of simple. practical directions which conue readily to one's hand. Herein is its pe culiar merit: it was made to be used, and one can use itevery page of it. It is not the work of a theorist. It is the work of a man who has put physical culture where it belongs in his own home, and has personally recaped its benefits. He writes out of a rich experience. and he writes with that simplicity yvhich comes from perfect familiarity with one's sub ject. It is a primary book intended to be used by teachers and pupils at school and by parents and their children at home. The directions for exercises are so simple that a. parent can easily take up at home the work the teacher beg-ins at school. Published by B. F. Johnson Publishing company.

Shute, has been published lig Eee Shepard, Boston. "True to Rife 'self," while a complete story in itself, forms the third volume of "Ship and Shore Series" tales of adventure on land and sea, written for both boys and girls. In this story we are introduced to Boger Strong. a typical American country lad, and his sister Kate. vvho, by an un happy combination of events, are thrown upon their own resources and compelled to make their own way in the vvorld. Roger tells his own story- In a modest, manly -way that boys and girls both will be charmed with, and that their parents will admire equally. A,Vith his father throWn into prison on a serious charge, Roger finds that few people will have any thing to do with either himself or his sis ter. and the jeers flung- at him are at times almost more than he can bear. But he is "true to himself" in the best meaning of that sayingrising above those v,-ho would pull him down. By a curious combination of circumstances he is thrown in contact with those who wronged his father, and after a perilous task the evi dence against the real forger is complete.

NEW RECEPTION GOWNS Low Cut Waists Are No Longer Fashionable. Things of Interest to House keepers anti Others. Euttons are such an Important feature of the waists this winter and there is such a bewildering array of them shown at the button counter, that the shopper la dazzled and knows not what to select They come in, all grades of cost, from the cheap, utility button, to the costly cut amethyst and topaz, and there are all sizes, ranging from the tiniest dot t.1 those as large as a. dollar. The me dium size are the most popular, how ever. There are cut steel buttons, enamel buttons. gold and silver buttons, gun metal and crystal, and all kinds of imi tation stones. For the golf girl, there are thistle but tons land tiny golf clu'os. Tiny tennis racquet buttons are made expressly for the tennis- enthusiast, and some girls show th.tr patrinti,m by wearing tiny gc0,1 eazd-,-head bUt tOTIS TbP sut,:iect of buttons seems a triv ial OT1,, but it is the careful study of trifd-s and the proper adaptation of them vt hich produce the well 'dressed WILan. The Reception Gown. The low cut, short sleeved gown is al mr,st entinely out of favor for reception wear. And when one considers the !ratter seriously. it does not seem ex actly epprorriate foc a hostess to be at tired in an elaborate bail gown while her guests all wear reception or street costumes. Formerly it has been the custom for the hostess and her assisting women to all wear pretty es-ening gowns at such affairs. but with the dawn of the new. century this will be changed. The sleeves. instead of ending at the shoul der. will extend well over the hand, anl the pretty white neck. 8.nd shoulders will b.r, CO V ered The reception gown of the coming year be equally as pretty as these formerly worn, though the neck is high and the sleeves long. and in the mat ter of dress the hostess will be more on a level with her guests. The ,.Potpourri" Party. The busy hostess who is on the look out for something new with which to entertain her guests might tr3r- the potpourri" party. Several tables should be arranged as for cards, and a different game played at each. At one the guests may guess the names of famous artists. at another well known musielans. at others 'writers, inythelogical characters. and so n. These should be conducted on the prin ciple ef progressive euchre, 8,ricl those arriving at the booby table will find jael,estraws awaiting them. There should be dainty little score cards. but these the hostess must plan herself. and make them as simple or as elaborate as she wishes. For a. prize, a Jar of potpourri would be ap uropriate. Fads and Fancies. The Aig Ion cape is one form of out side wrap which has some popularity. It is male of cloth and is realiy a triple cape, the lowest one three-quarvrr length, with a collar which stands up or turnA down. Fur hats are not considered in good taste far evening wear, but an era atonal one with an ermine crown and lace, over chiffon brim, varies the scene VinletA ami orchids arranged with maidenhair fern are the mosa. popular enrsage bouquets at liadison aquare Garden in the evening. Furn are a necessity this season if you woula present any kind of fashionable appearance. tut there must be a. wdle liMit on the money to be expended in order to get an7.;thing effective and up to chine. Even the high temperature of the New York horse show did not disguise the fact that furs in the most rare and elegant grades a,re the modish thing in fashionable dress. Boas and coilarettes vary in style and leng-th and in the number of tails used in the fin ish. but rumnr tells you that the heals are not considered good style. Russian sable Hudsan Bay sable and the finer grades of fox make the most elegant brias and muffs. while added to these there are all the chea.per kinds, many of which are blended in color, a.aling greatly to their value in effect if not so nmch in priae. Fur cravats tied in a bow under the chin are one fancy among, the 110V,ITS, Pointed fax which is effectively sprinkled with whine hair-s in one of the comparatively cheap furs ana makes a very stylish boa and muff. Narrow pompadour ribbons are used to trim MOUSF,-lin, de sole party gowns rar young girls. They are sewn on the edge of the flounces. sashes arid little plaited boleros which complete the bada2e. One of the conveniences for home mil linery IA fottni. in the ready-made rnsettes and 1,OWS of ribbon all wired into shape, which can be purchased in the shons. Ribbons of all kinds, col ,rs and widths are used. and while this is t a new branch of industry the, pro duction are more varied and artistic than ever tefare Shopping bags of fur. mounted with silver gilt, are one of the novelties. Fur is a popular trirhming for even ing' gowns, and it is used in wide bands EA well an narrow lines, Three bands set closely together so they look nl mast like one trim the skirt of a white panne dress,. while something of a bolero street is (-tarried out on the bodice with a band et fur. (Me of the novelties shown in the faahinnable shops is a shoulaer eape of ooiered or w-hire chiffon. plaited and frilled and combined with late, plumes ana rildion in the most intricate man rrsr. It in said to be for evening wear. tut an it has no warrntit its inissinn must be found in the ball room, where snme little covering is needed between tiances. At the theaters, since the wearing cf hats has gone out of fashion. 8-11110Si: PVPry WOMitnS head is ornamented with one of the wired velvet bOA' that make a dainty finish to a. coiffure. They sre R derided improvement upon the varioun aigrettes, ornaments and tinsel butterflies that women wore a few sea FOrr3 ago in their hair. A far prettar fashion and one that waudi make the-. ater audienees look picturesque, is the wearing' of tinwern in the hair. This is one tit the cid fashions that would stand a revival. Dress is nothing unless dainty this ',Eason. and pioluably one of itz I foibles is the little white or black lace muff. generally'''. carried at wedding's. Evening dresses are fuller and not quite so long aa heretofore. Tulle Is popular for evening trimming', as in deed are all the soft silks and laces. Bon-bon colors is the latest name be stowEd by Parielans on delicate ahades of every hue. Tucks have lost none of their popu larity, but stitched bands, barely half an inch in width, are cut to shape from the same silk or material, and this is a favorite and newer trimming for blouses and coats. Cut appliques of cioth are now sold as bordering-s and trimmings to match the leading colors, and for evening wear there are complete over-bodices of embroidered chiffon and net, where pearls, sequins and beads are much used. combined wath tinsel and pendant drops. The short-waisted Empire coats, when properly made, have a quaint and be coming effect on a slight figure, but same weird examples are to be seen. which have the appearance of an out grown garment, and quite ruin the fig ure. The Empire fashions are- prettiest of all for tea and evening gowna. and in these elaboration is nut out of place. and the striet Empire style need not be closely followed. Lace is, universally worn, and the lace bertha quite a. feaature of the new evening gown. Godet fashions are most peraiar. and lace can be purchased by the yard shaped in that style. The new fur boa. is long- and finishes with an abundance of tails that reach to the knees. It la fiat and broad. and is most popular in white fox, blue fox or ermine. Stylish young, women are again wear ing' with their shirt waists of soft blue si4c, satin or cloth in cream white. old rose, varians shades of red and other fashianable colors. the folded stock of our Ittvolutionary ancestors seen in miniatures and larger portraits. The style ia repeated not quite literally, but effectively, in black-, aatin or velvet to wear with every sort of waist. Alsa In black and white effects and in gay color mtlanges. with gray, tan, fawn color and similar waists of neutral tone. The ends are in searf form carried twice around the neck and tied in a bow in frent above the high stock. wh,ich is sLiff enough to keep the folds of the tirf ri place. Panre satin with the new chine de signs. can barely be dieting-uished from tainne itself. and these floral and Paisley- effects. whether in silk or flannel, are extremely fashionable this season, and show the most delightful blending of colors in the darker. tones. Panne and velvet in self-colorings are exten sively used, both for h-nillinery and On gowna. The Theatre Waist. The light silk waists that have very rightly been called theater waists are this year more popular than ever, and there never has been a fashion more useful. The fad now is to vvear theta with skirts of the same color but of dif ferent material, even sa heavy a. mater ial as cloth being used in all the light shadea, and, of COV rSe, in a. very light weight- But there is a great deal to urge ag-ainst cloth skins for theater .wear. Silk is infinitely preferable or some thinner material. White lace waists, light silk waists with lace yokes and sleeves and trimmed with quite a lot of lace. are all fashionable for this purpose. and if panne velvet or satin is used instead of silk, the same idea. of trimming is carried out. for the law is that they should be elaborate in appear ance and light and, cceel fooking. Almost wit hoot exception waists are made with long sleeves. When elbow sleeves are worn long gloves must aiso be worn that will reach to the elbow. These gloves may be of either Suede or glace kid, and always white. The shões tor slippers. if une goe-s in a carriage) must be black patent-leather; if slippers, made with a long vamp and large bucklee. If a JONI' shoe. then also of patent-leather. In both cases made with high heels.--Harper's Bazar. The Leading Belt. The belts for morning gowns take the form of girdles. Now that the empire gawn is -in- the corset is disappearing. Women who could not last an instant without the artificial support are aced's torning themseives to going without it when they wear these morning robes. Bicycle and empire corsetslittle more than belts--are worn. The change is quickly perceived in the size and shape of the bele Ver3r much longer, to al low for the increase in the size of the waist at is also very much wider. Except with the, empire house dress, the tendency is stronger than ever tow ard lifting the, belt as high as possitae in the back and lowering- it in the front. This gives an enormoulb belt line. but is very becoming to the tig-ure, adding the long.graceful curves just where the lines of beauty demand them. For the pur poee the rilebon of silver or of gold looks so well that it is no wonder that it is generally adopted. Fur Trimmings. Some beautiful fur trimmings are used on the gowns for the winter. One, of a rich blue broadcloth, has the effect of an underskirt of broad-tail Astra khan shown through long. deep V-shaped cuts at the bottom of the skirt. These points set In give a pretty fullness to the foot of the dress, and make it ex tremely rich. The etigas of the cloth are finished with a band of jet, which is re peated on each side of a girdle at the v.-aist tying- loosely in front, and falling low on the skirt This girdle is of the ubiquitous Russian gold ribbon. A yoke which seems to be all made of cloth of gall covered with jet is on the bolero; which is a tiny- mess-jacket edged with the fur. Under this is a blouse of ex quisite cream lace threaded with gold The collar is of the gold and jet in com bination, with a fold. of the lace around the top.

The examiner NV h o pro pounded these questions draws an an nal.salary of $2.04;0. Ðuches of Bedford, a sister ol Lady Henry Somerset, has become a powerful champion of Mrs. Maybrick. In her official position on the board of visitors to Aylesbury prison the duchess made the acquaintance of Mrs. May brick, and is convinced of her innocence. She is enlisting the influence of other society ladies, and the Empress Freder iek has taken practical iaterest in the, cause. Ag-nes Cumminson, of the Sal vation Army, hired a. street piano of the Dalian colony on Monday for $3.50 and turned the crank during business hours in the banking district of Philadelphia The average teceipts were $10 on each corner, and were for tbe fund to feed 8,000 poor on.

An Up-to-Date Empress. The young empress of Russia. says .the Chieago Chronicle, is one of the most advanced wotnen in Europe and does not attempt to conceal her opinions.. She is a strong believer in female suf frage, woman's elute", the higher educa tion of women and in her right to enter any and all of the professions, She is an enthusiastic advocate of the manymove ments started by women for the better ment of society. She has frankly stated that if she lived In a. land where court regulations were less strict she would be an avowed female suffragist. Of all the royal la,dies of Europe the czarina stands out most strongly as the champion of ber SE' X. She holds that al mo,st all of the great reforms of the world have been brought about by wo men. and that they are just becoming conscious of their powerandoos,sibilities. -Under her imperial patronage societies for the education and development of females are g-rowing numerous in St Petersburg and even spreading through the jealously guarded realm of the czar. "I have great and abiding' faith in my own sex," she said recently. -Women are ever busy sowing the seed from which good springs up all over the world." Since the czarina bas become so deep ly impreseeed with the importance of women's clubs and societies the czar has ordered that full reports of all such meetings shall be prepared for her pertesal. The Ideal Woman. It was not so very long ago that the ideal woman was believed to be the em bodiment of unselfishness: strong, gen tle, sweet: most lovable, most faithful but always (displaying these gracious qualities in devoted efforts to enhance the glory, or the goodness, or the gen eral well-being of some other human creature; generally some man. who, in deed, might himself be far from ideal! In fact, the further he was removed from perfection, the brighter shone the virtue ot the woman's devotion. Un selfishness was and always will be the dominant characteristic of the ideal wo man: but long before Cornelia's time. and for generations after her time, un selfishness took the form of selflessness which is quite another thing. and is not of necessity either admirable or good. Today no one can look intelligently at the condition of woman. especially in America, and not see that indifference to self as an end has almost ceased; and that the feminine ideal of selflessness, which Cornelia. embodies, la subtilely and surely changing. The change is revealing itself at every turn; and as we look at it we seesaw be tween hope and fear! The good and the bad. the promise and the threat. con front any thoughtful person. Take, for instance, the satisfaction and the anxie ty that we feel in recognizing all that is involved In the change In the occu pations of women. The time was when It would have been thought unwomanly for a woman to engage in any business or pursuit which was fol lowed by men. This was not because a woman was. in point of fact, less cap able intellectually then than now, but because the bounds of convention were so narrow and so rigid. that unless she unsexed herself herslf she could not pass them. But now has come a finer sense of fitness. which says, ''Better let a woman work as a man works. than steal a man's strength to support a wo man's useless idleness!" As a result of this nobler Ideal the occupations of wo men have widened incredibly since those days when they had only three busi nesses open to them for self-support. be sides domestic serviceteachingnursing and sewingMargaret Deland, Har pees Bazar. Beauty Sleep." "Beauty sleep." says the New York Tribune. Is a. time honored watchword, but it fell so often upon childish ears as an introductory to the unwelcome bed time hour that it lost its true signiticari... and came to tie considered merely as an attempted palliation cf a dreaded ordeai. !nit at last women are beginning to, re a:!ze the almost incalculable value of siiip from the beautys point of view, and to feel that, from the physician's, no medicine is quite equal to it. The wear and tear of nerve and tissne through the day cannot be repaired wizh Gut genuine sleep at night and, aitiniugn mild nareotice sometimes are veritable g-odsends to the insomplast, they should not be Ilged. Until every means to induce naturel :deep has been tried and failed. In the beginning, before the trouble bee become serious, one 6nOtilð COnSider care fully the poseible causes of insomnia. It may be the result of indigeetion. or lack of ventilation in the sleeping room, or bed covering too light or too heavy. If the first, the article of food that disagrees with her must be discovered, if possible, and be avoided. A moment's thought will enlighten her. if it be the second. and it is easily remedied. It is true that many rooms are so constructed that ventilation seems impossible without throwing a di rect draught unon the eleeper. but there is no case in which the judicious placing of a. high screen will not obviate the dif ficulty. A substitute tor a screen can often be devised by hanging a shawl or sheet from one article of furniture to an other. or to a tack driven into the wall. But fresh air she must have if she hopes to woo gentle sleep successfully. The matter of clothing is mare easily regulated. Many people use much more clothing than is necessary or desirable. A pair of light blankees over the sheet, or one blanket and an extremely lielat "comfortable." are sufficient for warinth in any city house where there is a ÍZEM. eral distribution of heat. The pillow should be low. cir entirely dispensed with. Iiigh pillowe induce crows feet and other wriiikles, and are not desirable frora any point of view. it these causes fail to explain the in somnia, one must look for the seat in some nervous derangement. It is weil to try a few simple remedies before consulting a physician, who. as a. rule. immediately prescribes a narcotic. Piret, just before going to bed the insomniast should take a hot drink of some kind. preferably of thin cornmeal g-ruel, whieh may have a teaspoonful of gin or sherry in it, if de sired. If deficient circulation causes cold feet. It is a help to wear knitted slippers to bed. 'This of itself tends to induce sleep. On getting into bed one must assume nn attitude of utter relaxation. every muscle. dropping as it deprived of life. one muFt. aiweys lie straight. and many find that to lie face downward. with the arms stretched at the sidee, is a poeture con ducive to repose. This has the aaditional advantage of keening the shoulders back and preventing contraction of the cheer. -Still another way is to lie extended at full length on the back. arans at sides. and to draw deep, leng breaths. If the air be pure, as it ought to be, this tills the lungs and sends a current of fresli life te every c-ell of the bady- and braire that soon relieves the nerve tension and induces sleep. If none ef these sug-,gestions accomplish the desired purpose, and the insomniast continues to pass long hours tossing in a vain attempt to sleep, it is probable that the nerveus system is too deeply impaired for ordinary treatment. and a physieian should be consulted without further delay.

Dainty Accessories. "A MORSEL FOR A MONARrIT." These are almest endless in kind and variety. and. while not always necessary, yet often greatly enhance the enjoyment of the meal. Most of them are served with their particular course and are re mo at the end of the coarse. olives, celei radishes, salted nuts and bonbons. however. are arranged on the table at the beginning and removed just before the dessert course is served. EON BONS. For those who do not have to consider expense and are desirous only to obtain novelty and something- out of the usual line of well known dishes, we find mar rons or fruit gla,ce. marrons or fruit dis guises, checolates, brandied cherries, dip ped in fondant, each in a tiny paper case. The various colored peppermints and small candies filled with liquor are gen erally selected. Parched almonds are dip ped in a hot syrup of brown sugar that has been cooked to the brittle degree and served as bonbons. For those who are not so particular to obtain the latest thing. regardless of ex pense, we have a variety of dainty little candies that blend nicely with artistic colur schemes and are very inexpensive. SALTED POPCORN. This certainly cannot be called new, and is. in fact, quite colonial; this may be the reason for its revival, The popeorn is served instead of salted nuts'. Have the corn freshly popped and saute it a light,. delicate brown in butter. While hut, tsprinkle it with salt. GRILLED ALMONDS. Blanch and dry one cup of Jordan al monds. Boil one cup of granulated sug-ar and quarter of a, cup of iwater until it will spirt a thread front the spoon Then toss in the almonds and let them cook a few moments in the syrup. stirring them oc casionally, but carefully. When the al !ponds are straw-colored, remove them trom the fire.stirring until the syrup turns 'lc) sugar. Some of the sugar will cling to the nuts like salted almonds. BREAD STICKS. Scald one cup of milk and add two ounces of butter. three level tablespoon fuls of sugar. half a teaspoonful of salt. When the milk is lukewarm add one yeast cake dissolved in a third of a cup of luke warm water. Then add about four cans :sifted flour. Knead into a smooth dough, cover closely and set to rise in a warm plaee. When light, add the well beaten a' hi teli of two eggs. mix and knead them thoroughly into the dough; then pound the dough with your rolling- pin until the grain seems smooth. Shape into little rolls not thicker than a lead pencil and about six inches long. This is dane rolling them lightly under the hand on an unfloured board. keeping- them uniform in thickness and leng-th. Place them in a -rather hot Vert and then reduce the heat gradually. as the sticks must be well -dried; brittle and crisP. a delicate color. PULLED BREAD (SERVED WITH SALADS.) These are made by trimming the crust from a fresh-baked loaf of bread and tearing or pulling the crusts into length wise strips. These are placed in a. pan a,nd browned or toasted slowly in the oven until crisp. CHEESE CRISPS. Take tiny cream wafers and spread with a mixture of two tablespoons of parm.osan cheese. half a teaspoonful of mustard and a few drr,ns of tobasco sauce or dash of paprika for those who like milder season ing. Toast these slightly in the oven and serve hot. The waters should be spread lightly with a. little softened butter. CAVIARE FINGERS.

The Pickles Test for It lump& Prom the Denver Republicani There has recently been an epidemic of mumps among the school children of the city. According to the rules of the health department a child may not return to school until he has fuliy recovered. Every afternoon and brought to the health de partment fifteen or tvverity youngsters, some with swollen cheeks and some with out. It is the duty of the physician in charge of the orrice to examine these ap plicants for clean bills of health and see if any trace of the infection remains. But the force of the health department is small and sometimes there is no doctor in the office for an hour at a time. This works a. hardship on mothers wailing with their children, and Dr. Carlin yesterday bethought himself of the magic touch stone by which Miss Mollie Currigan, guardian of the outer office, might herself test the applicants 'Pickles are the thing," said Dr. Carlin. ''If a person with the slightest trace of inflammation in the thyroid glands takes a bite of anything sharply sour. the face is instantly contorted. In extreme cases ths pain is extreme." So a. bottle of mixed pickles was. added to the pharmacopoeia of the ofoce. Now, villen there is no doctor in the of nce, Miss Corrigan lines no the appli cants for certificates and Poes tiOWn the lineS with the bottle of pickles. If tne child takes the pickles and smiles as a healthy child should. he may go hack to sehool agoin; but if seowis in pain, theu he is condemned, to iitay at borne. 71: prAr.", (tu; iaj LI i t

It! I I 4t 1 LAIL t t LATE fA81-1 I 1 0 4 "1"ATIIS. Nov. 10.--13y the time this letter reaches America Thanks er. giving 'A ill be at hand. Here In Paris, outside the Ameriaan legation and the little American colony, Thanksgiving is an unknown festival. The Parisians seemingly take all the goods With which the gods provide them as theiz just due. Everybody is. of course, just at pres ent greatly interested in the affairs of the Boni Castel lanes. They have never egured to any extent in the most exalted circles of Parisian society, for the little countess was not a leader or designed for one by the gifts of nature. 'I hey will, therefore, not be greatly missed if they leave Paris for a time r live In greater retirement. Every c,ne is sorry for the young countess, but I fear that the count is not so much an eject of pity. The Countess Castellane has worn some of the handsomest vrls sent out by the great French dressmakers. andher future plans are, of course. by these persons regarded as tnetters of very great moment. lier highness Princess Mathilde Bo naparte has returned from the Chateau de St. Cliatien to her hotel on the Rue cle Berri and. although she is 80 years ,,f agf.. is preparing for a busy social 'v. inter. Tee llonapartes all believe that their star ts now in a propitious meoci, and they are anxious to advance their fortunes. It is said that the Prin cess elathible. who is a great power in the world of fashion, had much to do e ire influencing the adoption of the Aiglon fashions. Sarah Bernhardt is reported to have been paid an extrava Went SUM to stage the play, which the .t;enaparte adherents believed would be a powerful advertisement of their in terests. The Princess Mathilde wore the other day when she received a few triends a most becoming' tea gown of the classical style, with undersleeves of seft, rose colored stuff, shirred at the le rise from IA hich point a- very full frill hung over the hand. Bands of fine gold braid trimmed the soft gray dra pery. The collar consisted of a high, Foft ruffle about the neck, and the wide find capelike sleeves fell over the close fazing undersleeves and gave a partic ular touch of quaintness to the gown. One finds that the bonnet once so popular for theater wear and for ordi nary occasions the special headgear of the woman past the prime of life Is s,en no more. Even women of 60 don the coquettish toque. modified to suit the requirements of their yeare. Toques of panne are the fad of the hour. The possibilities of mirror velvet as a 1 tHrY fabric are very marked. Subtle harmonies not possible with the set col ors of silk or ordinary velvet may be aehieved by its use. It is au fait to combine with the velvet a touch of t:eraming carrying out one of the changing shades of the foundation vel vet. For instanee. a toque of g-ray mir ror velvet showing a suggestion of he liotrope will be trimmed with a chou or band of heliotrope chiffon or filmy silk. Buckles of paste or rhinestones look ke,pecially well on the mirror velvet, reflecting as they do the rainbow colors of the latter. The use of ornaments made cf gold and silver incrusted lace is popular. Butterflies of gold lace or IONS of gold embroidery are perched pi quantly on evening. millinery. Soft felt is much worn. and the combination of gray and brown is a frequent trick in harmony attempted by some of the fashion arbiters. Plaited stuffs as cov erings for toques are much affected. the 4 -;',,,1,-4-:;'-'4 44-ixi,,...:1, .,4,4-4,',4',4,,-,-4,44-04..-04,.;4--i,444.),,,'.i(4,-.., ((,'.,'4 '.!,064000000000l000000000-00000 '400000000000,00000,00000000o 0 0-000000o000000000o0o000004, ,4 o 0, o 0,? ,,:00c:0 A HqNDSOME DINING Room ,00., 4,0 0 BUT SIMPLE oc)o: -o o,,,; -0o o0,-,, 00000000000 00000000000000 -000 000000000 0000000 0000000 ,-0000000 000000 000000 o,o. 000 ow 4 .,i4.-i.A--4,--,i4,Ni.4;:,i-i,4",,e,i.;-,i,' 4,-çi''4,-4,4--i444-4'i4.-,:.4-,,'"i,,,,,,,,,,g;i,.4.N-,-,,, TEE dining rooms of tbe great are remarkable not for their sump tuous grandeur, but for their cheerful simplicity. No room in the house is more important than this apartment, because surroundings have much to do with one's frame of mind, kind disposition influences digestion. In a room that should always be spot lessly neat and trim many hangings and 'upholstered furniture are out of place. Walls covered with pictures, too, are in bad taste. The dining room shown herewith is a model of good taste and elegance, yet the ceiling. is the only feature at all un usual. This ceiling' consists of a white, raised pattern applied to a cream tint ed ground. In the center of the ceiling circular frames contain four small quadrangular paintings, frescoes of syl 1, an scenes. representing cheer and plen ty. Such frescoes are now done at a N ery reasonable price by good artists, but a family desirous of retaining their pictures may have them painted on canvas, and then they may be taken from the frames whenever they wish to move. For the pictures on the walls, flat, plain frames are the best. Land scapes or quiet, restful scenes make the best subjects. The dining room floor should be cov ered with a soft, rich colored rug, which may be taken up and hung out for fre quent beatings to remove the dust. Dark greens, dark reds and blues are the best colors for dining room floor coverings. The stained or painted floor should be cleaned and polished to keep it in immaculate condition. Of couise, to polish the floor until unaccustomed visitors nervously skate over its sur face is carrying neatness a little too far. The mantelpiece ought to be a simple one, ornamented with very little bric-abrae. A couple of vases, a handsome hourglass, a little ornamental time piece and handsome candlesticks at O ilier end of the shelf are enough for its decoration. The chairs represented in the picture a re tine specimens of old Chippendale workmanship. Their light yet substan tal appearance makes them especially suitable for dining room use. The day of massive dining room furniture bas gone out, and dainty buffets now usurp the place of the gigantic sideboards of oak and mahogany. No one of good taste thinks of making an ostentatious display of the family silver. Many who 9wu silver keep it id the safe deposit ming is noticeable 8,nd is almost with out exception of the same material as the draped trimming of the hat.

Beauti ful china, which does not arouse the cupidity of the average covetous bur glar, is a safe possession, so those who ov,-n it do not hesitate to let it be seen on shelves and in china cabinets Win dows are hung with pretty draperies, and flowers are arranged in the win-' dows where the morning sunlight will act as a cordial to their leaves and blossoms. The dining table when not in use should be covered with a plain, heavy cloth, and only a dish of fruit or nuts should be allowed to remain uport it. An open fireplace is one of the best ornaments of a room in winter. The dining room fireplace should be EtS wide and as neatly finished as possible. The fact is that a really artistic house is n W as possible to the wife of the moderately salaried man as to the wife GENERAL SCHEM of soft cream silk, embroidered v,-ith gold and havin,g little tabs falling down at the sides. The very full undersleeves are of cream gauze, with a slibt design, of gold showing on its surface. Mme. Jane Hading, in her new pro duction at the Athenee, is treating Paris to some lovely costumes. In the first act Mme. Hading wears a superb "toilette de soiree." The sleeves come to the wrist, and the throat is cut out in three slight indentations, so arrang,- ed as to appear to be mere scallops in the guipure empleeement. The main part of the gown is of white mousseline de sole, embroidered in flower patterns, with narrow white ribbon and pearls. These flowers embroider tbe plaited bodice, which falls from under a broad band of lace encircling. the bust. The skirt is cut out in poInts over an under skirt of lace. The sleeves are in three pieces, the upper part being of very fine lace, another part of the heavy guipure, similar to that around the upper part of the millionaire. Utility and beauty are what are demanded in furnishing. Dealers, noting the growing good taste of the masses, are doing- all.they can to encourage the demand for the more ar tistic varieties. The gaudy gimcracks of a few years ago are no longer the fashion. Slender chairs, much gilded, and fragile tables have given place to more substantial furniture. Large, well cushioned chairs, such as are com fortable, no matter what may be the period to which their pattern author izes them to claim relationship, are the most desirable for dining room use. FOR A COMFORTABLE DINING ROOM. of the waist, and the lower part a very full undersieeve of mousseline, attached to bands of embroidery. Plaited white mousseline is the foun dation fabric of a Hading reception dress that seems to be of white guirhire, gleaming with incrustations of gold. The gown is of the accepted princess style, the lace falling in apron shape down the front to g-ive side gleams of the plaited mousseline de soie. Still another of her gowns is extremely de collete, the sleeves being nothing but strands of pearls. The short empire waist is of lace, the remainder of the costume being of liberty satin, ap pliqued with lace flowers embroidered in gold. Carlix, who appears in the same production, is picturesque and girlish IIn a robe of pale rose mousseline de soie with draped bodice. Roses are knotted among the folds, and a skirt is fitted snugly over the hips, but with a decided fullness below. The front forms wide box plaits. Bands of bias velour trim the lower part of the skirt. Most of these gowns are from Laferriere and Doeuillet. The glory of the cloaks of the winter is dazzling. They are even more splen did than the gowns, and those are mag So far as fashion In furnishing is concerned, there never has been a time whet' greater liberty was allowable in choosing house decorations. In France the Louis XIV, the Louis XV and one of the empire periods are followed. In England and the United States the furnisher follows his or her own sweet will, and the house may be a combina tion of all of them or representative of none. The colonial patterns, quaint and comfortable. have many admirers. The tendency, however, is toward a new school in furnishing, and never be fore has the American cabinet maker had so good a chance to show his skill and good taste. The stores are filled with evidences.of his originality, and many of these departures equal in beauty the work of the old fashioned workers who have so long set the fash ion in furniture. ETHEL KNOX. Yellow stains left by machine oil on white material may be removed by rub bing the spot with a cloth wet with am monta before washing with soap. nificent enough. The long coats, vvith trimming upon trimming. cost a small fortune, and even the short coats are not models of sweet simplicity either in appearance or price. For instance. note the coat in the photograph, a. three-quarter affair. It belongs to a very chic and very charming French actress, and she wears the rather diffi cult ga,rment with a grace which, I fear, no Anglo-Saxon woman could imitate. Straight and rather scant in front, the coat shows a band of openwork em broidery that extends in a deeper line around the border of the skirt. The fronts are softened by very full bands of chiffon ruching, while the lower part of the coat boasts plaited flounces of chiffon, over which fall the strands of a. ribbon fringe. The sleeves are orna mented with a band of the embroidery extending up and down, while a deep flounce of the plaited chiffon falls over the fingers. The collar is an elaborate affair of plaited chiffon and lace. Another elaborate coat, not reaching quite to the hem of the skirt, yet longer than the three-quarter, was sketched at one of the designers. It is of hearth stone gray cloth ornamented with a very artistic applique of gray chenille outlining a liliacious leaf. The wide sleeves, showing the cloth undersleeves, embroidered with chenille, have turned back cuffs, decorated with chenille. The deep collar is faced With chinchilla. while the muff shows an odd decoration of velvet ribbons and steel buckles. At the same time I sketched an even ing pelisse of the empire style. It was of white broche, with a flower pattern in palest blue, mauve and green. From the middle of the back to the bottom of the skirt was inset a plaiting of palest exeen chiffon laid over white satin. DOWn each side of the plaiting was a line of black chantilly applique. The high collar was of shirred chiffon. sur mounted by chinchilla and encircled by a dra,pery of white lace appliqued with a few pieces of black chantilly. The sleeves, which were elaborate in struc ture, were trimmed with chinchilla and lace. The lower part of the coat. in the front and at the sides, was cut in deep, chinchilla trimmed points, opening over a plaiting' of chiffon. The other coat was of black velours trimmed with ermine, supposed to be the smartest fur of the winter. CATHERINE TALBOT. APPROPRIATE MENUS BREAKFAST. Fruit. Cereal and Creant.

Kipling has at last Joined the army of men and women wl-o have been immor talized in millinery. Ile only la,ke,1 this to fill his cup of fame to the brim., The "Rikki-Tikki-T" hat, named after one of his clever animal tales, Will no doubt sell like hot cakes. and, judging by the present popularity. every girt In town will soon have one. Its dis tinctive feature is the way in Whit the crown is made. The quarters are cone shaped and joined by seams that are also stitched at each side. Through the middle of each section from point to base is taken a small tuck, which. owing to the texture of the felt, ap pears round, as though corded. EN-ening Bodice. small quantity of brocade makes charming decollete bodice in combina tion with crepe de chine or mousseline de sole and can be worn with a skirt of the softer material, trimmed frills and ruchings, and some applique adot n ments of lave. The brocaded back must be perfectly tight and very long waisted, and the square top slightly in dented in the center to show folds of crepe de chine. The full front of the crepe opens in the center. and a lace ornament fastens across separately. The loose and slightly pouched fronts of brocade turn back in rever fashion to show a, lining of plain color, and the entire bodice is outlined with a pouffed ruching of black chiffon, this touch of black being almost indispensable on a fashionable evening golA n. The sleeves are made on a close fitting lining of brussels net reaching to the elbow. and the upper part of the crepe sleeve is laid in fine plaits. which are confined by an applique ornament of lace. Short Bolero Conte. All the new coat costumes for winter wear show the abbreviated bolero coat. but the prettiest have some fashion of basque, either pointed, tabhed or break ing up the plain edge in some manner. Even the bolero which reaches to the waist at the back runs down Into tabs or points In front, and the sack coat terminating on the hips shows slightly elongated scallops at the front. Many boleros are single breasted, but slope across and fasten v ith clasps or a couple of fancy buttons on the left side. Broad revers of embroidered cloth, silk appliqued with lace or cov ered with perforations of cloth or vel vet, are outlined with narrow borders of fur. USEFUL HINTS FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER,. When packing' dresses, put paper be tween the folds to prevent creasing. When making cold water starch, if put to soak a few hours before mizins it will be found to be much smoother. To make the cutting up of beeswax quite easy have a jug of boiling water in which to dip your knife frequently to keep it hot. Half an ounce of lavender flowers and half a teaspoonful of powdered cloves make a cheap and delightful sachet. The ravelinga cut from new table. cloths before hemming are just what you want to mend thin places or holes in the older ones. To prevent knives not in daily' use from getting- rusty rub them over after cleaning them ith a little sweet oil. Then wrap in tissue paper and afterward in thick brown paper. tying' the parcel tightly up, so that as little air as possible may get to the knives. Keep them in the driest storing' place you have. If vi anted for use, put them in hot, soapy water. dry and give a. slight rub on the knifeboard to restore the polish. Always mend table linen before send ing it to wash. Provide yourself with flourishing cotton in different sizes, ae cording to the fineness or coarsen9sS your linen. Paste a piece of stiff paper over the hole on the right side and then darn very carefully with the flourishing thread On the wrong side. The darn should reach half an ineh beN.ond the tear on all sides, and the croF,sing must be very neatly and aceurately done. It is really more satisfactory to friend these places before they reach the hole stage, and it takes far less time. A Novelty For the Table. If you are looking' for ft wed(lingrrpg ent, why not buy one of the latest nov elties in tablewarea, silver handled poultry scissors, with which the wings of g,ame or poultry can be cut off. This is a We leente addition to a carver's set, and will prove a very acceptable gift for a housekeeper. This novelty is particularly useful in carving ducks. Stained Knives. To clean knives that have fruit or vinegar stains on then) rub them, after washing, with a freshly eut raw potato. Dry and polish on a knife board in the ordinary way. LeMOrk Juice and whit ing, mixed to a soft paste and well rub bed in, will remove stains from ivory or bone handles. Rinse in hot water afterward and dry thoroughly.

"I am afraid we shall have snow be fore night, Stephen," said Mrs. Crane, looking, out of the window at the heavy cloud in the northeast. which justified her prediction. "You'd better wrap up warm and have plenty of straw in the bottom of the wagon. I'll heat the soap stone for your feet." -No, you won't. I don't want to be coddled like a baby," replied Stephen Crane.. Then, as if ashamed of his roughness, he added, in a gentler tone: "It isn't nig,h so sharp as it looks from the inside. You, women squinch at the least bit of cold." "I wasn't squinching for myself, Stephen," the wife answered, in a. hurt tone. "You are all I've got to take care for." "Well, well! Don't make a baby of me, that's all. What do you want from town today?" "Why, it is almost time for Christmas, Stephen, a,nd I'd like some raisins and spices, andandit seems as if some nuts and candy would taste real good. We ,haven't had any in so long, and some cranberries, for turkey don't seem natural without cranberry. sauce." Stephen Crane's face had darkened angrily at the mention of Christmas. "I don't see no need of getting. Christ mas trimmin's," he said harshly. ht can get the things, if you say so: it isnt that I begredge them, but there won't be no flavor of thanks to go with them. That can't be bought at the store." "But you can ask the Lord for it, Stephen," replied the wife eag,erly. "lt does hurt me so to see you hard and bitter toward him. Look at neighbor Blake's people, losing their only one, and in such a harrowing way, but still they haven't been bitter against the Lord." "Death is something- that comes to ev ery home. but the other isn't," re plied Stephen Crane in a. choked voice. -Don't say any more about it, Martha." And he stalked out but thinly clad for the possible changes in the weather, his wife looking after him v,-ith quivering lips. "I never WOU 1 a have dreamed that trouble could change a, man sol" she ex claimed sadly. "Oh, Lettie, Lettiel How could you treat us so?" And her tears flowed freely as she drew front the bosom of her dress a faded photograph, the lines of the face almost obliterated by many kisses and teaiat It was the picture of a. beautiful young girl, with dark, curling- hair and roguish, dimpled face. The only daughter, and a beauty from her cradle, Lettie Crane had been the idol of her father's heart. No sacrifice was too g,reat for him to make for her happiness when her need did not clash with his stern will, but there came a day when the petted, indulged child merged into a woman v,,ith a, warm. af rectionate heart, and not a little of her father's determination. Her lovely face drexv many admirers to the farm, and among these there was one whom her father had especially favored. lie had both wealth and character, and IVir. Crane said, "Yes" promptly when he proposed himself as a son-in-law. Lettie might have loved him in time: indeed she ha,d persuaded herself that she could be happy with him as a husband until she met Clifford Bentley from the city. That vielous, unscrupulous young man, attracted by the bea,utiful face of the child and the broad acres of the father. found but too ready a- dupe in the trusting country girl, WhOtSe Win had never been seriously thwarted, whose powers of discernment of character had never been cultivated: and. though the wedding- garments were all ma.de a,nd the guests invited, Lettle eloped with her city admirer, and from that day her fat her's heart, instead of brea,king, hardened into an adamantine thing-. In vain the mother urged him to go to the city and search for her. "She has made her bed; she Will ha.ve it to lie in," was all the reply he would make. Tbere was no waiting light in the WinðOW for the returning wanderer should she come back ta her home, and the only drop of comfort which had come to the mother's heart was the marriage certificate which had come through the mail. There had been one letter, but of this Mrs. Crane knew nothing. "Got a letter for you today, Martha," said Mr. Crane on his return at night, as he came into the dining- room, where his wife was setting the table for the late supper. He had deposited a heav ily laden basket on the kitchen table as he passed through the kitchen. "Oh, Stephen!" Her hands began to tremble, and she almost dropped the plate of crullers she was bringing- from the cupboard. "Don't bp anxious. It's only from Nate's folks," he added quickly and in a, kinder tone than usual. He knew what hope had blanched her cheeks aaid taken the strength from her hands, and in the morning there would have been a, set, hard look of silent reproof on his face, but softening influences had been at work with him all the day as be re viewed the long years since he had taken his young bride for better or worse. "There has been a. lot of worse, taking' it by and large," he said to him self. "But Martha has ahvays done her part by me, however l've done mine by her. I'm a cra.n.lty old fellow', now that's a. factand I reckon I'd better get a, little oil into the cranks before they rust in." Nate's folks are coming -up to spend Christmas with us, Stephen!" exclaimed Mrs. Crane as she read her letter. "Isn't that nice? Matilda says they are sort of hungry for home diet and home folks. and I'm so glad!" "And so am I," replied Stephen heart ily. "I've been almost afraid that Nate was forgetting us and old times. We used to be such chums when we were boys. Sol and Abram were nigh of an age, so Nate and I hung' together mostly." "I'm so glad you brought the things. Stephen," remarked the wife gladly as she unpacked the basket. "I can get reay for them now without sending' to town. I 'was sorry I asked you for anything- afterward." "Well, I wasn't. I was sorry though that I was so g-rumpy, Martha." Mr. Crane swallowed hard as if the words hurt him, and drank a long- draught from the tin dipper. "I'm a cranky old piece, and you mustn't mind what I say too much." His wife looked 'up in surprise. "I won't, Stephen. Your heart is right, I know, if your tongue does get sharp once in a while." In the city home the day before Christmas Mr. Nathan Crane 8,nd his wife were preparing for their trip to the country. "It seems like an age since I have seen Steve," remarked the older brother at breakfast. "We really must not al low such a time to elapse again without a visit. -We have only one life ta live here, rind it is a, shame to let years g-o by without a glimpse of one's own kindred." quite agree with 3'ou, Nate." re plied Mrs. Crane, heartily. "Separations among friends are hard enough at best." Mr. Crane drew on his gloves in the hall. "You will be ready, then, Ma tilda, for the 9:40 train?" "Yes: the satchels are all read7.,. and I -will be dow-n on the 9 o'clock car." The. planning of a journey is one thing'. the carrying- out of the pla,n is another. Thomas was Eve minutes late in coming for the lug-cage, the car had one of those inopportune breaks v,hich are so annoying to hurrying' passengers, and when Matilda, red with vexation, hastened into the station, her husband met her -with a vexed look on his face. "The train has been gone just three minutes'," pulling' out his watch- "What was the. matter?" "Don't say a word, Nate!" she ex claimed, dropping into a seat. "The car ahvays break down if I want to catch a train. I am so tired." ''Oh, well, there's another train in an hour." Mr. Crane's brow cl&ared. It was one of his best points-'o. graceful yielding to the inevitable. "There is a later train on the branch, and I can Wire Ste Ve to wait for us, so don't fret, Ma tilda." Mrs. Crane resigned herself to wait for the next train, while Mr. Crane read the morning- paperthat solace of every or dinary woe in a. busijiess mans life. Peo ple surged in and out, and the train crier's stentorian drawl echoed through the room at intervals. Suddenly Mrs. Crane poked her husband in the ribs excitedly. "Hook over in that cornerquick, Nate, or you'll lose her! lt's Lett leI'm sure of it!" "Bless my bones! I believe it is. Go and speak to her, Matilda, and watch ort this side if she .should be coming this way." Bettie started. with nervous fear as ber aunt's hand touched her arm. She was dressed in shabby garments, and had a child clinging to her skirtsa. little boy of three, his fa,ce a copy, despite its thin, pinched look, of his mother's when a. child. She looked up into Mrs. Crane's fa,ce with an expression of fear pitiful to see: then, as she recognized the friendly face, her thin arms found their way around her neck in a (lining-, despairing embrace as she sobbed out, "Oh, Aunt Matilda!" in a heart-broken way. 'There is Uncle Nick right over there, and no one shall harm you," Mrs. Crane said. The child stood with widely opened eyes. "-Why didn't you come to us, dear child?' asked Mrs. Crane, 'when Hettie's sobs became less violent. "I was trying to find you, auntie, but had forgotten your number. andand---I was afraid you would not vvant me." "Indeed we do want you, dear child! We are going on the next train to spend Christmas at your home, and you must go with us." "Oh, no, no! I dare not!" :Bettie shrank back interron "I have no home, for my. father would never receive me as his child. He told me so in the only letter I ever had from him since I was so wicked ly foolish." 'Then we will come back to the city together. won't we, Nate?-' :Nit.. Crane had approached in time to hear Lettie's shrinking- reply, of which he at once guessed the import. "Of course we will," he replied heartily, taking the little, thin hand in his with a tender kiss. "And you shall be our OW11 little girl, as we always wished you were." -While Hettie was tehing her pitiful story of abuse and wrong. at the hands of the man who had enticed her from her home Martha, Crane in the old farm house was making' such preparations as she had not made in years for the Christmas feast. Her step was light and brisk as she pat tered across the v..itle kitchen, and the great range oven was filled to overflow ing, with tempting' dainties. When Stephen started for town he was more pliable, and allowed Martha to pile heated soapstones and extra wraps into the roomy old carriage to her heart's con tent. "Matilda. always had cold feet," she said, "and Nate himself is older by some years than when we saw him last." She awoke from a short nap an hour later and looked a,t the clock. "How I have slePt! WhY, they ougiht to be here this moment!" But no carriage was yet in sight, though her eyes could reach over half a mile of the road. Another hour passed and the familiar team appeared in the distance. She was at the door when the horses trotted into the yard in the gathering dusk, and Nate called out cheerily: "Hel lo. Martha! Js supper ready?" It was too dark to see clearly the look in her husbands face. but she looked On in surprise as Nate jumped out and helped Matilda to alight; next. a little child; then another. She was just won dering' who it could. be, when a. VOiCe ealled out: "Oh. mothermother! Dear Mother!" And Bettie fell almost fainting into her mother's arms. Poor child! It meant so much to her, this coming home. No more hunger or cold, no more blows or abuse for her child, and Stephen looked on as his wife caressed the thin hands and kissed the wan face as if she could never get enough of love. with a smile of great happiness upon his rugged face. "It is the Lord's dealings. Martha. and I ain't worthy of it," he said huskily. dont believe I shall ever fret and worry again over missing' a train." said Matilda, as she. with ilartha and the brothers sat over the waning' fire. Bet tie and t'he child had long' ago been tucked into a. warm bed to rest. Such a mercy as it was in this case! For if Lett le had found our empty house, she had no money and no friends in the city. poor child, and what could she have done'?" "Ile gave His angels charge concern ing' her," answered Stephen Crane. "They tell me," said the soft shell crab, "that you were always wise beyond your years." "I early learned." responded the lobster, "that dissipation is a losing game. I avoided excesses and thus kept myself out. of hot ws.;?r." "But," the crab persisted. "did you not in the g-reenness of your youth ever long for the gayer life?" "There was no such period," said the lobster with a. little sigh. "I had no salad days."
