If the Blossom house walls could peak they would tell of some of the troubles Congressman Bowersock is having with postoffiee patronage. He has long ago given up his exclusive attention to his hornless catfish herd, and is now trying to pacify the P. M. aspirants in the Second district. Just what he will do with Kansas City, Fort Bcott, Mound City, Paola. La Cygne, and Ottawa is still in doubt. There have been Blossom house parties ga lore, but no armistice is yet reported. The present incumbents made a bitter light against the election of J. K. Bur ton, srolng so far in some cases as to fijht the candidates for representative who were instructed for the Abilene statesman. Bowersoek was a Baker man. but the candidates for the legis lature In Douglas, his home county, and all in the Second district except four, were for Burton. It is sate to Bay the voters would side with Burton were Baker to try and force the ap pointment of postmasters who made a fight against the Republican candi dates last fall. A close friend of Sen ator Burton says that he will see that the senate does not confirm these re bellious postmasters if they are named. The glitter and glamor of politics Feem to be the same tempting but to the average man that the Hash of the spoon huok is to the bass and some times a sucker figures in both cases, but that has nothing to do with the 53 applicants as lield marshals under the new United States marshalship regime. Xown in Comanche county lives Rep resentative Biddle, one of the men "who made" J. Ralph Burton senator. He is in the ranch and cattle business, and any day lie wishes to he can turn his worldly goods into at least a cool J-o.OOO. But he is not satisfied. He wants the political reward due himself. He will feel satisfied with a held mar shalship under Lit Crum. when ti e ex judge of the court of visitation suc ceeds W. E. Sterne. At the greatest Jl.SuO a year is all a field marshal can receive: the law limits him to that, but does not say that he shall receive It. The average pay for the position Is about J1.200 to $1,500. and the field marshal pays his own expenses travel ing around over the state. And still the man worth a good round sum wants an almost profitless political berth. He is not the only one. Biddle thinks that the wire pullers and log roilers have had enough at the hand.s of Burton, and that some of the men "who did the work and cast the ballots should cone in. for a bit of the upper crust. He Is not the only man after the Job. By count Frank Grimes has found 52 others, and he has informed his great high chief. Burton, that there are only three field positions to be filled. Senator Burton said he had an idea there were fifteen or twenty, and he has been hunting around to see if Marshal Sterne did not fail to appoint about a dozen or more that he could have appointed if he had wanted to. The candidacy of Judge J. S. West, present assistant attorney general, for A. A. Godard's place seems to be break ing up the slates as made by the regu larly appointed slate makers. Accord ing to the cards the office of attorney general is to be placed on 'the bargain counter and used at the last minute to aid the combinations of the slate mak ers. In the last couple of months Judge 'West's stock has gone up. He has been particularly successful in his opinions. The last list of opinions of the supreme court contained several which fully sustained the opinions of the assistant attorney general. Judge "West said the biennial election law was constitutional, that the action of the county commissioners in Chase county In refunding bonds to a greater amount was contrary to law, and that the state auditor should not register the Kear ny bonds, all of which won him friends all over the state and especially in the Fhort grass country. His friends ex pect him to go into the convention with the solid support of the Second district and a showing of strength in the First Third and Fourth districts. A back fire has been started by slating West for congress in the Second district. Bower sock's troubles with the postmaster hips In the Second district mav call for a new man who can iron out the wrinkles and many of the Burton crowd are slating Judge West. From all indications there will be i pretty fight in the Seventh district next year to see who shall wear the wig and gown as the member from that district on the supreme bench.

Humor of the Day. siderable strength In the fight to secure the Shawnee delegation. J. G. Johnson, chairman of the na tional Democratic committee who lives in Peabody, when he is in Kansas, has other events to attract his attention be sides running the Democratic party and denying the cotton trust stories. Johnson is a Modern. Woodman and so is Lieutenant Governor Northcott, of Illinois. The executive council of the order met at Rock Island this week and the Illinois statesman and the Kansas politician clashed over the po sition of general attorney. WThether Johnson used the Democratic party as his cudgel or whether he had the cotton trust behind him does not figure In the announcement that he won and will look after the legal matters of the lodgemen. The announcement Is made that W. J. Bailey, who was Cyrus Leland's can didate to defeat Charles Curtis for con gress and who failed to do so, will not be a candidate for office next year. This might mean that Leland has given up his fight on Curtis, but that is not Le land. The announcement comes from the Sabetha Herald, printed in Bailey's home county, but that does not mean to a certainty that Bailey is out of ev erything in the way of an office. It seems that Auditor George W. Cole never misses a chance to pull a strikg in his boom for governor or railroad commissioner. His friends, and Cole as well perhaps, are making the most they can out of the Chase county bond case. When the dispute about the bonds arose Cole was not in it. The question about the legality of registering the bonds arose when the bond broker was hunting up takers for them. There were some legal questions about their legal ity and so the matter had to be settled. The attorneys on both sides agreed to ask Cole to refuse to register them, then mandamus him and secure a de cision from the supreme court. Cole agreed and refused to register them. Then when the decision was made that his refusal was right Cole's friends gave it out cold that he had saved "the bloated bondholders" from sticking' their hands in the bag and looting: Chase county. It's a good string and it has been getting a. good, hard pull. At the time of the election of the board of railroad commissioners a deal was made against the Findlay support ers whereby Wr. D. Finney, of Woodson county, was to be elected for the short term of a year and tat next year Cole was to resign as auditor and accep.t an election on the board of railroad com missioners which would give him a term of three years with chances of re election, but the Kearney county wire has been pulled so well that his gub ernatorial boom in the short yrass country is spreading and he may give up his vicelike grip on Finney's place and announce his candidacy for gover nor. Advantages of Haiot" Washington, July 20. The imperial German navy and some German manu oily product of German brown coal tar oily product of German brow coat tar called "Masut" for heating and steam producing purposes. The coast defense vessels of the German navy are fitted for the use of this oil, and some of the battleships and cruisers are so arrang ed that they can use coal or "masut." The advantages of "masut" over coal are said to be a one-fourth greater heat producing quality, a greater ease in handling, very little smoke and the ability to produce full power steam in less time than with coal. 1 I i rT i a t r i i r i i l r i i i i i i The various extensive plants of the billion dollar steel organization are spread throughout the States of Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.

Chicago, July 20. Charles Cecil Fltz morris, the 17 year old Chicago school boy who was one of three lads sent out by W. R.

He was met at the Union depot by his parents. Acting Mayor Biocki, Colonel William Cody and numerous friends, but tarried only a moment, as a car riage was waiting to whisk him to 214 16 Madison street, the point from which he had started. At this point it was announced that the young man had made the trip of 20,545 miles In exactly 60 days, 13 hours, 29 minutes, 42 4-5 seconds, winning eas ily from his competitors sent out from New Tork and San Francisco. The time given includes delays and stops equal to about six days. Some of the longer stages of his jour ney were made as follows: Chicago to New Tork, 900 miles, 25 hours.

I Topeka Ball Player Back in the Big League Again. Boston, July 20. Frank Selee, mana ger of the Boston club announces that he has signed "Dick" Cooley, the well know professional, who played in St. Louis, as well as Philadelphia and Pittsburg', lit the National league, and that the Topeka boy would report for duty in Philadelphia next Monday. Cooley, since he dropped out of the parent organization, has been captain ing and covering the first corner for the Syracuse Eastern league team. He is reported to be playing better ball than for years this summer, and Selee is sanguine of success from him. 'Dick' always could hit, field and run," declared Selee, "arid there's no reason why he should be out of it. I intend playing him at first until Fred Tenney is able to redon the spangles. Tenney was 'soaked' in one of the Cin cinnati games and was in such a bad way that I let him go to his home for a rest. After Tenney returns Cooley will likely be placed somewhere in the outfield, though just where I can not say now, as Hamilton, Slagel and Mur phy are all giving good accounts of themselves at the present time." Cooley's return to the big league will be heralded with joy all over the big league circuit, as he has long been a prime favorite with patrons of base ball. "Dick," when In good shepe and playing his best, is a first-class player and good enough for anybody's team. He started out in St. Louis and, after being passed up by Von der Ahe, filled a brief engagement with Philadelphia, and was last seen out this way with Pittsburg. Fred Clarke tried him at first, but let him go in preference for poor Tom O'Brien, whom the Pirates' chieftain considered the better player of the two. i J KM2STe RAIN AT MANHATTAH.

"Cider" Smith, who has heretofore made such accurate forecasts, now re fuses to hazard an opinion as to what the elements will do in the near future. The weather bureau ventures to say "generally fair tonight and Sunday. Continued warm." It is safe to guess at about a 40 to 1 shot that it will be warm as there is no snow in sight just now.

Much Depends Upon Develop ments of Next 72 Hours. MORGAN SETTLED IT. His Recent Declaration Changed the Situation. Everybody Now Looks Long Struggle. For a Pittsburg, Pa., July 20. The steel strike has reached the critical stage and the developments of the next 72 hours are expected to have an import ant bearing on the great struggle. By Monday night the results of the attempts of the combine officials to re sume operations at Wellsviile and Mc Keesport, should be known and upon the success or failure of this the out come of the struggle will greatly de pend. So far the contending forces appear to have been watching each other, but the statement from J. P. Morgan has changed the complexion of the situa tion. Everybody is talking about this now and at Amalgamated headquarters The name of Charles M. Schwab, the head of the United States Steel company, is upon all lips at the pres ent time. He is a central figure in the big labor struggle now ensuing. all is bustle and activity. It Is now realized that the combines will not in dulge in any further temporizing and a long struggle may be looked for. At Wellsviile the company is strain ing every point to get the plant into operation and the latest dispatches from there state that they claim they will have a full force at all furnaces by Monday morning. It is said they have the men imported from Pittsburg and will bring them to the works by that time. Everything seems to depend for the next development upon the outcome of the company's efforts at resumption on Monday. A large number of railway tickets from here to Wellsviile have been purchased of late which are re ported to be for the new force. At Wellsviile no men have as yet ap peared, but it is reported that they are quartered at East Liverpool, and will be moved from there before Mon day morning. The strikers at Wells viile are watching all incoming trains, and it is now hoped that no trouble will take place when the new men ar rive. The strikers are said to be rest ive, and what may happen when they see the new men come in to take their places it is difficult to predict. The company is taking every precaution to obviate trouble. A high fence sur rounds the mill property, and carloads of lumber have been taken into the mill presumably for the purpose of housing the new men within the mill. A secret meeting of the strikers has been called for this afternoon, which will be presided over by Vice President Chappell. At McKeesport a force of men are still at work cleaning up and getting the Dewees Wood plant in shape for early operation. It is said that sheet mills 8 and 9 and the bar mill have been completely overhauled and are ready for resumption at any time. Wrhile it is not known positively that the works will be started up on Mon day, it is generally believed that it is the intention of the management to do so. They have auite a number of men as a nucleus of a force svho were is-3 g 7-rrz.. yj o tr c J T "Sow rJt vvfb t refused admission to the Amalgamated association because they worked dur ing the strike last April, and when a start is made it will be with these workmen. Manager Cooper refused to say when the start would be made, but added: "When it does come, you can bet the mill will be non-union." The Amalgamated officials say they have little fear of the company induc ing their men to go back or to success fully resume operations. President Shaffer says that the lodge is twice as strong now as during the April strike and he feels confident that the men will remain steadfast to the issue. This af ternoon the Amalgamated association William B. Leeds, president of the American Tin Plate Company, figures Srominently in the news story of the ig strike. Over 2ti.oet of his company's employes are today on strike. will hold a large meeting at McKees port to forestall, if possible the efforts expected next week to start the works. President Shaffer, Secretary McTige and other officials will be present and address the strikers. President Shaf fer says he will counsel sobriety and total abstinence form any acts tending to violence. The men of the plants of the Na tional Tube company at McKeesport have been invited to attend the meet ing and an effort will be made to have them Join the association. Even though the tube work employes are organized it is not probable they will be ordered out by the Amalgamated association until President Shaffer is ready to is sue his general strike order, directed against all the companies in the United States Steel corporation. President Shaffer will not discuss the possibili ties at the National plant. Neither will he say when he will be ready with his general order to the other com panies. "We will not carry the fight any fur ther than we can avoid," said Mr. Shaffer. "We have no desire to em barrass the business interests of the country unnecessarily. If we are forced to it we will go even further than the members of our own trade, but we hope to be able to secure a settlement without resorting to those measures." The situation in the closed Pittsburg mills is practically unchanged. The Painter and Lindsay McCutcheon mills are closed. At the Clark mills the two-inch plate Here is the head of one of the big factors of the steel trust. He is President William K. Corey of the American Steel Hoop Company. The company has 13,000 men among the strikers. and the billet mill are operating. The latter is to be closed in a few days. The Amalgamated organizers are not making a special endeavor to en list the men, as they do not come within their general scale, which the present contest seeks to protect. Dispatches from outside points show no material change. At Duncansville the visit of Vice President Pierce proved fruitless.

Aguinaldo Is con siderably irritated at his continued surveillance by the American authori ties. Whenever he signs his name he must add the word "prisoner." He has refused a request to write the Insuig ent general Malvar, still at largo in southern Ltrzon, advising him to sur render. He consented to sign a copy of his oath of allegiance, with the un derstanding that it be forwarded to Malvar with the purpose of influencing his surrender, but under his signature to this oath he wrote "prisoner in Mal acanan prison." General Davis has been ordered to combine the American troops on the island of Mindanao and in the Joio archipelago. General Kobbe, formerly commander of this district, will return to the United States. General Chaffee has issued a circular in which he explicitly defines the status and duties of army officers with respect to their relations with the pro vincial and other civil governments. It is expected this circular will settle minor misunderstandings between the two departments and prevent possible conflicts of authority. As fast as the insular constabulary is organized the Americans will center in tewer garrisons and their number will be decreased.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 20, 1901; WONDERFUL SUCCESS ACHIEVEMENTS ARE OFTEN THE RE SULT OF MANY FAILURES. A Talk of Interest to the Young by One Who Has Had Both Bad and Good Fortune. Success rarely, if ever, comes until utter many failures," said Mr. Emery T. Hubbard. 'The failures we do not hear of. but the successes make men fa mous." Mr. Hubbard is a man who. after many failures, at last achieved suc cess, and he talks interestingly about it. He is a trained nurse and masseur, living at No. 139 May street, Pasadena, Calif. To a reporter he said: 'X had almost, given up hope, but finally I attained that for which I Sought health. Something over ten years ago I underwent two surgical operations and as a result my nervous pyptem broke down. I became all run down, weak and exhausted; I could not sleep, was constipated, my liver uaj bad and my blood very much out of order. "In the latter part of 1S95, after five doctors had been treating me for as many years without doing me any good 2 saw an advertisement in the paper and beiran taking Dr. Williams' Pink .Pills for Pale People. When I had tt.ken half the second box I found I was getting better and I kept on until 1 was cured. I always keep the pills by me and. whenever a long, hard case Ikis caused me to feel run down. X take them to brace me up. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People did wonders for me. and I am coniident they will do as much for others who are troubled s I was." Few people are better qualified to Judge of the merits of a medicine than the trained nuise. His range of ex perience is wider even than the physl t ian's, for he is in constant attendance upon his patient, day and night, often for weeks and months at a time; he Fees all the varied phases of every case and notes every change in his condi tion. Familiar with scikness from the (hundreds of cases he has cared for, a recommendation of a medicine by a professional nurse bears great weight, und more especially when he has tried the remedy himself. Dr. Williams' fink Pills for Pale People will not only cure cases si-nilar to that of Mr. Hub-tv-ird, but containing as they do all the elements necessary to give new life p.nd richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves, they have proved efficacious in a wide range of diseases. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial raralyssi, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, iieuraluia, rheumatism, nervous head su he. the after-effects of the grip, pal pitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness, ither in male or female.

Chicago, July 20. Those on the In side say positively that this is the last year Tom Loftus will manage the Chi cago National league team. Some even doubt that he will serve the season out, but the more conservative hint that the contract will run to the end of the year. President Hart's action In taking the reins away from Loftus and instituting changes in the club and reforms In the rules governing the players is taken as an Indication of friction between the two officials or at least of dissatisfac tion with the management of the club. While Loftus has assented to the recent reforms President Hart has done most of the lecturing of players and is ap parently paving the way for a new manager. Confirming the story comes the infor mation that Loftus Is looking around for a new berth in baseball, with eyes probably cast toward tha American league. TWO OLD BUILDINGS.

Word was receiv ed in this city today that Tod Sloan would return here from France the first week in August. The crack American jockey will be accompanied by Charon, the famous French chaffeur, and by M. Fournier, who recently won the great automobile race from Paris to Berlin. All three will go to Buffalo, where they will participate in the great automobile races to be held at the Pan-American exposition. Sloan and the two Frenchmen are re ported to have made a great deal of money betting on the races at Paris. They evidently expect to make a coup on the Buffalo races. Fournier is the leading automobile racer of the world, while Charon has al ways pushed him hard for first place. If they ride in this country as they have at home they will have little diffi culty in sweeping everything before them at Buffalo. NATIONAL LEAGUE. AT CHICAGO. Attendance. 7o0.

.375 fJElVS. Secretary F. D. Cofourn Is Buy ing Fancy Cattle. Secures Polled Angus Stock From Anderson Herd. FINEST IS THE WORLD. Better Known in Scotland Than in Alden County.

He bought two cows and two calves, "Or -rather," he said. "I partly bought them and Mr. Anderson partly donated them. "The truth of the matter is." said Mr. Coburn, "Mr. Anderson's nerd is better known and more appreciated in Scotland than it is in Allen county. I keep pretty close track of these things, and I have no hesitation in saying that it is the finest head of Uolled Angus cattle in this country and probably in the world. Just think of it Over 300 head of cattle, everyone of them regis tered and pedigreed. Why, it is simply wonderful. It is something that tha state and country may well be proud of. to say nothing of the country J.' The s and calves bought by Mr. Coburn will be shipped out to the Ag riculture college at Manhattan, to be added to the herd which the state maintains there for experimental pur poses.

Has a Tendency to Slightly Be tard Business in Some Lines. New Tork, July 20. R. Q. Dun Co. '3 Weekly Review of Trade says: Anxiety regarding unfavorable possi bilities in the future, rather than any actual present misfortune, depressed securities and caused cancellation of some orders for merchandise by west ern dealers. Retail distribution of goods will not be curtailed by the labor controversy unless it is of long dura tion, as the men have saved money during the recent period of full em ployment at high wages. Similarly, in some agricultural districts, where there is fear that little corn will be harvested, preceding bumper crops at good prices have put farmers in such prosperous condition -that their purchases will not fall off materially, while the greatest crop of wheat on record has not brought a return to the low prices of previous heavy yields. Beyond advancing prices of steel sheets and depressing the market for tin, quotations have not been affected by the strike of the Amalgamated as sociation. Fig iron furnaces are not disturbed, although record production will bring accumulation of stocks, if the rolling mills are kept idle for any length of time. In the branches not directly concerned there is no change of conditions, orders frequently running months" ahead. An early settlement i3 confidently expected and there is much relief over the general collapse of the machinists" strike. In the anthracite coal regions work has also been inter rupted, but the recent exceptionally heavy output assures abundant stocks for some time. Woolen mills are generally more ac tive than at any time this year, orders of heavy weight goods arriving In large numbers. The light weight season will soon open, and although it is expected that concessions from 6 to 10 per cent from last year's prices will be made, there is prospect of profitable opera tion unless the raw material should ad vance. Some uncertainty is seen in the wool market sellers, making futile ef forts to secure better terms, and ulti mately accepting bids at former fig ures. The tone is distinctly firmer and stocks at mills and In warehouses de crease. There was a decline in cotton below Shi cents followed by slight recovery as news from plantations failed to showed the desired Improvement. For eign consumption is light. Judged bv reduced exports, and portions of the old crops are still liberal. There are basing ele.-nents that keep prices 6 per cent Deiow last year. Stability of prices seems assured in the footwear Industry. The firm tone is sustained by the steadiness of leather, and buyers are not seeking concessions. Factories are running on full time, witn orders on hand for months ahead. Fall orders arrive freely, and many New England pro ducers refuse new contracts unless alowed to make deliveries at their own conveniences. Limited supplies of leather make the market very firm. Hides are fairly active and stick with some grades at Chicago tending downward on account of the Increase of cattle because of drouth, but in the long run this should be a supporting factor, ,as later ar rivals must show at least an equiv alent decrease. Calmer counsel prevailed in the grain markets, exaggerated dispatches were discounted and variations in quota tions were less extensive. After a se vers break from the best price last Friday wheat steadily advanced as the feeling- became general that foreign requirements would bring a new rec ord for exports, possibly exceeding 250.000,000 bushels. Some of the heavy crop may also be used for fodder in sections whwe corn is destroyed. These influences fully offset the effects of in terior receipts- for the week of 6.750, 242 bushels against only 4,332.253 last year. Atlantic exports show a large gain over last year's figures for the week amounting to 3,903.775 bushels, against 1,841.861 a year ago. After some reaction corn recovered most of the loss, and holders showed their confidence in values by market ing only 3.361. S42 bushels for the week, against 4,416.153 bushels a year ago, although the high price was distinctly reflected In Atlantic shipments of only 1.17,S82 bushels against 3,561,498 In 1900. Failures for the week numbered 193 In the United States against 231 last year, and 22 in Canada against 27 last year. Itchiness of the skin, horrible plague.

General Felix Agnus, Publisher of the Baltimore American, In the Name of the People Asks Justice For Schley. TELLS WHOLE STORY Of Nary Department Clique to Injure Santiago Hero. Says Long and Sampson Are at the lie ad of It. Dewey Would Have Nothing to Do With It. Baltimore, July 20. General Felix Agnus, publisher of the Baltimore American, has telegraphed the follow ing to President McKinley: "William McKinley, Canton, O.: Maclay's History of the Navy is the standard rn use at the naval academy. In the third volume Just issued the historian charges. Rear Admiral Schley with being a coward, a liar, a caitiff, an Incompetent, and insubordinate. In an interview in the American this morning Maclay, the historian, who is a navy department clerk, classed as a laborer and attached to the Brooklyn navy yard, says that proofs of this third volume, which should have told the most glorious story in all our naval annals, were submitted to Secretary Long and Admiral Sampson, and ap proved by them in advance of publi cation; also that Long put him in his present position after he had read and approved this scurrilous attack upon Admiral Schley. These proofs were also submitted to Admiral Dewey, who refused to read them. "If aught were needed to convince any fair-minded man that a clique in the navy department has conspired to traduce the hero of Santiago, and that the conspiracy was carried into exe cution while that brave and gallant officer was suffering expatriation on the fever-infested coasts of South America, this should furnish it. Will you, Mr. President, in view of all this, sit quietly by and permit these con spirators to continue their diabolical work? Every justice loving American appeals to you to intervene in the name and for the sake of fair play. Next to being right ali the time, which no man ever was, the best thing is to find out as soon as possible that you are wrong and right yourself immedi ately. FELIX AGNUS, "Publisher Balti-nore American." MACLAY'S VERSION OF IT. New York. July 20. Edgar S. Mac- lay has replied to the criticism which has been made upon his history works dealing with Admiral Schley and the navy during the Spanish war. He said in part; "I did not appreciate at the time I wrote the book that the terms were in temperate. It is only recently that It has met with adverse criticism. It is now my intention to revise that por tion of the work that deals with the battle of Santiago. But I shall not alter the facts,, for they are correct, and I must first be assured that they are in error. The proofs were sub mitted to the officers who took part rn the battle of Santiago, as well as to Secretary Long, and received their ap proval. I should explain that only those portions of the book were sub mitted to each officer that related to him personally or to the part he took in the battle. The proofs submitted to Mr. Long dealt with that part of the war that concerned him. I have never had any animus against Admiral Schley, and I wrote as I did because I believed it to be the truth." Maclay is an employe of the Brook lyn navy yard. DANK CLEARINGS. Topeka Shows Healthy Increase Over I Corresponding Week Last Year. New York. July '30.

TOPEKA STATE JOUBNAIj, SATURDAY EVENING. JTJX.Y 20, 1031. OAILROADJIEWS, Santa Fe Employes Will Picnic on July 27. They Will Go From Newton to W inSeld. USE OF PARK GRAFTED Winfield Will Show Railroad Men a Good Time. Crowds Expected From Other Points on Santa Fe Line. Winfield. July 20. One month ago 'Agent Nevins of the Santa Fe received the following letter from II. C. Heroy, a conductor at Newton: 'The employes at Newton are ar ranging for their annual picnic to be held at Winfield on Saturday. July 20, provided the park and fair grounds can be secured for that date. "We shall always remember "with pleasure our picnic in your beautiful city two years ago and the kindly treatment extended to us by yourself and the citizens of Winfield on that oc casion. We feel that you contributed very materially toward making that picnic a success, and that to ask any thing of the kind again would be im posing too much upon good friendship. Therefore, all we have to ask this time is lor you to kindly see the managers of the park and ascertain if we can have the use of that, also ascertain if we can have the use of the fair grounds, race track, ball ground, etc. I assume, of course, that there is a ball ground at the fair grounds the same as two years ago. "If vou will le kind enough to let me know'in regard to the above, I shall be obliged." The council willingly granted the use of both places and the employes were notified to that effect. Since that time Mr Herbv has written and asked an extension of one week on account of the Santa Fes rush of business and the difficulty of getting a special on the "0th. The picnickers will now be here Saturday, July T,. Mr. Herby says the crowd is 'coming from all points along the Santa Fe and that they are ar ranging for one of the biggest railroad picnics ever iield in the state. They -w ill come from all branches of the rail road service. The management is arranging a pro gramme or schedule for the day's fes tivities that will be sent later for pub lication. The railroad men do not ask to be entertained, but there is a certain amount of hospitality due them that they will certainly get. Two years after the men had picnicked and returned home they sang the praises of Winfield and her people and a repetition of the same will be very pleasing. OIL FOB THE FOBSE3. It llay Ea Tried in Santa Fe Shop Furnaces. The use of oil or gas as fuel in the furnace fires of the new Santa Fe blacksmith shop is a possibility. The matter has been under consideration for some time, and will probably be decided upon soon. The present black smith shop uses oil in seven of its fur naces, and the results seem to have warranted the company considering the proposition of supplanting the use of coal entirely by that of oil, or if pos sible by a better substitute. Under the present plan a crude product obtained in the southeastern Kansas fields after the refining process has been finished is shipped in in carload lots and by compressed air forced through pipes to the furnaces, where in coming out as b very fine spray it gives a flame sim ilar to that of a gas jet. The use of gas here of course never lias been tried, but it is the only fuel used in some of the large eastern shops where the natural product is obtain able. So far as now known, the man ufactured product would be all that would be available. The advantages which either oil or gas possesses over coal are best under stood by those who have studied the proposition or who know from actual experience. With coal, after a fresh quantity has been added to the fire it requires so.ne time for the proper tem perature to be leached for heating pur poses. With oil or gas, the loss in this way is obviously less, because the flame can be brought to the desired temperature almost at once. Then, too, in the case of blacksmith fires, coal must be handled in small quantities, which of course adds to the expense of using it. while with oil or gas all that is necessary is to regulate the How by means of a thumbscrew. FOB THE ORIENT. J". T. O'Dell Named For Vice Presi dent and General Manager. Chicago, July 10. A. E. Stilwell. president of the Kansas City, Mexico Orient road, in an interview here dealing with the progress of the con struction of the road to the Pacific coast, announced that as soon as con struction work is finished J. T. O'Deil, formerly of the Northern Pacific, Bal timore Ohio and New England roads, will be placed in charge of its opera tions as vice president and general manager, and will have full charge of the appointment of all operating em plcyes. RAILWAY CIVIL SERVICE. Eanta Fe May Adopt the Plan Used by Northern Pacific. The management of the Santa Fe is preparing to establish a strict civil ser vice system in connection with the ad vancement of all trainmen and engine crews. The civil service principle has teen recognized by the company for eome time, but like all others it has reserved the right to go outside of th FOB JULY ONLY Handsome Polished Easel given to every purchaser of 1 pound ui muting rowaer. THE SPECIAL Union Pacific Tea Co. 513 KANSAS AVE. service in the employment of the men who operate the trains. Although this right will never be re Jinquished.the management will change its rules regarding employment of men and their advancement, making it a rare necessity to go outside for engi neers, conductors, brakemen and fire men. With this end in view the operat ing department considers Issuing a book of instruction similar to the one which has Just been issued by the Northern Pacific road. The latter pub lication is the result of five years" work and careful study by operating officials of the road, and it is understood that Vice President Kendrick, formerly of the Northern Pacific, was one of the leaders in the movement on the north ern line which resulted in the publica tion of the book. It is intended to place the book In the hands of every employe who assists in the operation of a train on the North ern Pacific, and a careful study of it as a text book will make the employes familiar with all the machinery used in starting and stopping trains. A book similar to this will undoubt edly be adopted by the Santa Te and will be supplemented by instructions given by a traveling expert in the oper ation of air brakes. The instructor will travel over the lines, making Btops m every town or city where Santa Fe men live. A complete air brake appar atus will be set up in a freight caboose and the men will be given instructions and lessons in squads consisting of as many as can see the work at one time. In answer to the question why so much time and money are to be spent in this undertaking, the officials of the road reply that prompt and Intelligent use of the air brakes often marks the line be eween a mad wreck and safety and that perfect operation of trains can be obtained only when every train em ploye understands the construction and operation of the air brake. In this day of heavy equipment and great speed it is deemed essential that train employes receive a thorough education and train ing to fit them for the work. The Santa Fe will also make the rules regarding the employment of train men more strict, so that few, of any who are not sound in body and mind can secure work with the company. NO WATER AT WELLINGTON. Santa Fe and City Are Both on Verge of Famine. Wellington, Kan., July 20. The water situation here is becoming serious for the Santa Fe. The road is depending entirely on the city for its local supply, and the city's supply is very low and is getting lower every hour. There is bound to be an absolute famine within a few weeks. There is no hope of suf ficient rain to relieve the situation. NO MORE WATER. Ottawa Says Santa Fe Engines Must Quit Watering There. Ottawa, Kas., July 20. Manager Pollock, of the waterworks company, has notified the Santa Fe that engines on the "cut-off" must not get water at the Ottawa tank. The "cut-otT" en gines are supposed to get water at Edgerton, where the company naa Dig ponds. These ponds are about dry. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. Machinist R. K. Wallace was off sick Friday.

Kehoe. a member of Graham s scrap iron gang, who laid oft Thursday to meet his family on its arrival rrom Leavenworth, is in again. The two representatives ofthe Barney and Smith car factories, who have been doing some special work here on din ing cars lately are laying off for a few da ys. Edward Moore, a blacksmith who be came a little too warm Thursday even ing and was compelled to go home and rest up, came in again Friday. Charles "Vatterlin, a former employe in the boiler shop here but wno nas been in Denver and other western cities for some time, was put on Friday. John Walden, of the water service, has been sent to Toluca, 111., in charge of one of the large steam shovels to be used by the Santa Fe in that locality. James Haven and John Anderson of the car shops have returned from El Reno where they did all that could be done toward getting a piece of the new lands. George J. Graves, clerk to Resident Engineer Meade, has returned from Chicago where he met his wife on her return trio from a five weeks' visit in Buffalo, N. Y. Casper Lambrecht, who landed in To peka recently from the old country, has been put on as a helper in the black smith shop. He has been assigned to No. 4 hammer. J. C. Cunningham of the brass foun dry has returned to his rlace after an 1 absence of a few days caused by an) In jury to one hand which he received while at work. James Dunn, of the handcar shop, was out Friday. "Farmer" Dunn, as they call him, never lays off unless it is necessary, and for that reason it is supposed he is sick. Fred East, heater on No. 1, was out Friday. East stepped against a hot shovel Thursday, burning one foot slightly and it is presumed that this ac cident is the cause of his absence. John Butler of the boiler shop who dropped a red-hot rivet down his shoe Thursday evening and was compelled to lay on as a result of the burn, is able to be on the street and will prob ably go to work again in a few days. Peter Nelson, an old employe of the mill returned to work Friday after hav ing been absent several months during which time he seems to have convinc ed himself that a railroad job is better than farming when seasons are as un favorable as the present one. Charles Wheeler, a machinist in the south shop, received a set of books as a prize from an eastern periodical a few days ago. Wheeler failed to come to work Friday and it is supposed that he became so interested in his new library that he did not near the whistle blow. Clayton Dudding of the ash-pan room has been forced to layoff on account of a badly swollen hand. Several months ago Dudding had the misfortune to cut his hand while at work, and until about two weeks ago was idle. Since then he has been working steadily, but Friday his hand became so bad that he had to layoff again. G. T. McDill, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. was in Topeka Fri day. Mr. McDill was at the general offices looking after some matters in connection with the association im provements to be made at Argentine. Plans have not yet been completed but it is expected that $4,000 will be spent on improvements there. The cloud which hung over eastern Shawnee county Thursday evening and threatened to give Topeka a genuine soaking came only as near as Tecum seh, or more accurately a half a mile east of there. At that place the precip itation was only heavy enough to wet the dust about half an inch deep, but at Big Springs, twenty miles southeast of Topeka the roads were muddy after the rain. The following men are contemplating a trip to the new Indian country, and most of them will leave for El Reno to- Jiight: Edward Stitt and William .Rollins, boilermakers; Henry McDade and George L. Stone, switchmen; H. I. Miller and Arthur Sayres. machinists: George Findlay, blacksmith; William Hewitt, George Hall and John Norton, painters; Edward Fuller, tender of the Second street switch cabin, and Albert Dodge and Chris. Reid of the water service. Richard Bancroft has been made fore man of the sewer gang in the water service, taking the place of Owen Calla han who has the water service men working in the new blacksmith shoo. (Bancroft's men are putting some man- noles along the sewer line connecting the cinder-pits with the main round house sewer. A great deal of trouble has been experienced lately by the choking of the pipes caused by the cin ders which work their way in from the pits. The improvements now under way will make it easy to remove the cinders. ilflERS WANT TO WORK Want Firemen to Pat Off Strike to a Later Date. Wilkesbarre, Fa., July 20. Operations were resumed today at the Avondale mine of the Lackawanna Coal com pany, the striking firemen who were members of the United Mine Workers having returned to work. The strike situation in this district has improved materially today, reports received at headquarters indicating a desire on the part of the miners to return to work. Hazleton, Pa., July 20. Leaders and executive officers of the United Mine Workers who came here to participate in the conference with the officials of the Stationary Firemen's association have returned to their homes and a truce has been declared pending a joint convention of miners and firemen in Wilkesbarre tomorrow afternoon. There is a feeling among the officers of the anthracite miners' organization in three districts that the strike of the firemen should not be allowed to inter fere with the work in the mines. They want to control all workers connected with the mines. All the firemen in the district belong to the United Mine Workers; 90 per cent, of the men in the Wyoming dis trict belong to the firemen's organiza tion. In the Schuylkill district 50 per cent, of the firemen belong to each or ganization. The miners want the engineers to re turn to work and defer the enforce ment of their grievances until next spring, when the miners' one-year agreement with their employers termi nates. This sentiment may end the firemen's strike for the present, and send everybody back to work. The mine owners feel that they have the best of the situation at present. Homeseekorj' Excursions to Oklaho ma and Return via the Santa Fe. An additional date of Tuesday, July 23, has been arranged by the Santa Fe to enable those who have not regis tered in the new Indian country to do so.

THE HEIGHTS TEMPLAR They Are Making Preparations For Triennial Conclave. Items of Interest Gleaned From Secret Society Workers. The national council of the Knights and Ladies of Security here will prob ably be asked to pass upon the de cision of Dewey council, of St. Louis, in the expulsion of Mrs. Lola Knox from the council. Mrs. Knox was charged with becom ing intoxicated and using indecent language to a sister lodge member, and was given a trial in the council, beginning about two weeks ago. The 1 MRS. LOLA KNOX. trial was concluded this week, and the result was that Mrs. Knox was ex pelled from the council. She was de fended by a young attorney, Charles J. Anderson, a member of another council of the Knights and Ladies of Security. Upon the decision of the council for her expulsion she has announced her determination to take an appeal of the case to the national officers of the so ciety here. W. E. Kirkpatrick, presi dent of the order, was in St. Louis during the time the matter was being agitated. He was seen here by a State Journal reporter today, and said: "The affair is not nearly so bad as it is represented to be in the St. Louis papers. I believe that the attorney, Anderson, was trying to get a little no toriety out of the case. He has been barred from Dewey council. The council to which he belongs has only seven members." In discussing the case the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: The trial had progressed smoothly until the arguments of the attorneys was reached, when trouble arose over the remarks of Mr. Anderson. After some preliminary skirmishing a gen eral riot was precipitated; chairs and other weapons were used, and the po- -r .e 5-. 3S 1 C CHARLES J. ANDERSON". lice were called in to quell the dis turbance. Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Knox say that the tight was a warm one, and that both sustained severe in juries in the encounter, but other members of the order who were pres ent declare that the reports of the trouble have been greatly exaggerated, and that only one or two persons were mixed up in the fray. No arrests were made by the police, at any rate, and the affair drifted along without fur ther incident. As soon as Mrs. Knox and her at torney. Mr. Anderson, arrived at the lodge room and the meeting had been called to order, the case was opened Mr. Anderson is a member and presi dent of Olympia council, and he main tained that under the rules of the or der he was entitled to visit any other council. On these grounds he based his ''Worth Its Weight in Gold HOXB AN. I. T DR. EADWAT CO., New York Gen tlemen: I send inclosed M.

They claimed that it is merely a courtesy, and need not be extended unless agree able to both parties. Accordingly. Mr. Gould, of the trial committee, arose and made a motion to the effect that, "in,, view of the many past disturb ances caused in the council by Mr. An derson, that he be perpetually expelled from the council." Mr Anderson protested against the action, but President Johnson used his gavel vigorously and refused to hear him. It is said that Mr. Anderson con tinued to talk for about five minutes regardless of the chair's rapping for order, and for a time it looked as if there was to be a recurrence of the riot of two weeks ago. But Police Officer Lawrence, who is a member of the or der, had been detailed to be present and prevent a disturbance, and he succeed ed in quieting the fray before it had gone far. The president then appointed Brother Lawrence a committee to escort Mr. Anderson to the street, although the latter protested that if the trial board insisted on his leaving, he would make his departure without an escort. How ever, the officer accompanied Mr. An derson to the sidewalk, and he, togeth er with Mrs. Knox, at once left the building. After the departure of Mrs. Knox and her attorney the trial of the case was continued, and it resulted in a verdict against Mrs. Knox, and she was ex pelled. Mr. Anderson says he will appeal to the national council at once in his own behalf against the expulsion from Dewey council's hall. He asserts that he will attend the next meeting of the Dewey council. He says that most of the members of Dewey council are in sympathy with him and his client; that there was formerly about 60 members who attended the regular meetings, but that there were only about 12 present Tuesday night. Other members of the council say that the sentiment is unanimously against Mrs. Knox. Mrs. Knox asserts that as soon as she is reinstated in the lodge she will bring suit for damages against those who in stituted the trouble for her in Dewey council. "The twenty-eighth triennial con clave of the grand encampment.Knights Templar of the United States of Amer ica, will be held in the city of Louis ville, state of Kentucky, beginning on the 27th day of August, 1901. All Knights Templar in good standing are urged to join the pilgrimage of the grand commandery of Kansas to Louis ville, participate in the ceremonies of the week, and partake of the bounteous hospitality of our Kentucky Fraters," says Grand Commander Edward W. Wellington of Ellsworth. It is interesting to know that Mr. Wellington with his energy has won for the Kansas delegation to these con claves a great reputation. He has hus tled around and made arrangements to take Marshall's band and the Modocs to this event, and it is anticipated.judg ing from previous experience, that the concerts to be given by Marshall's band will be so largely attended that the large audience hall of the national commandery will not be sufficient to seat the audience. The programme for the week contem plates the following: Sunday, August 25 Officers of the Grand Encampment, together with the Knights Templar will attend divine services conducted by Rev. James C. W. Coxe of Washington, Iowa. Monday, August 26 Reception to the arriving Templars. Tuesday, August 27 The parade and review of the Templar host. In the ev ening the Grand Commandery of Ken tucky will give an elaborate reception to the visiting Templars in the new United States custom house. Wednesday, August 28 A competi tive drill will be participated in by the best drilled teams of the United State3. In the evening the trophies will be pre sented. Thursday, August 29 Will be devoted to excursions, and special entertain ment by Marshall's band. Kansas headquarters have been se cured at a spacious southern mansion at No. 743 Third street. The grand generalissimo. Ohas. J. Webb of Topeka has been made assist ant quartermaster and will have charge of matters of transportation, and the quarters at Louisville. The official route has not yet been designated, but the Templars will mobilize at Kansas City on Saturday, August 24, and go from there.

Warner with the Knitrhts and Ladies of Security here is vice president of the National Fraternal Congress which meets at Hotel Cadillac, Detroit, Michigan, in August. The Na tional Fraternal Congress includes the leading orders of the world, whose total membership will exceed 3 millions of people. About 200 delegates represent ing the various societies of this and other countries will be present. The Congress is fifteen years old. this being the fifteenth annual convention. Dr. Warner, following the precedent estab lished in the Congress, that of promot ing the vice president of one year to the presidency the next year, will become the president of the Congress for the ensuing term. It is desired that a full representation from each and every society connected with the Congress be present at this meeting as matters of great moment to fraternal beneficial orders will be presented and discussed and the in terest that will center in this meeting will, if possible, surpass all former ones in importance. Captain W. H. Parsons of Clifton, Kansas, was here Friday preparatory to going to the new Oklahoma country as the state organizer for the National Aid association. The work of the Na tional Aid is just opening up in the new country. Already this spring 12 lodges have been organized. Past Grand Master and Past Grand Representative W. M. Glenn, of the I. O. O.

It is composed of At torney N. A. Dodge, also United States commissioner, of Fort Worth, Texas, chairman ,and J. L. Sies, of Ames, Iowa, and Fred Jewell, of Lincoln, Neb. The amendments made at the last meeting of the national council in February took effect in July. They are meeting with popularity among the various councils. The amendment was for the reduction of liability on deaths occurring during the first four years of a policy. The National Aid is growing. Locally 50 new members were taken into the North Topeka council last week. The council on the south side of the river has 247 members, and new ones are being added every meet ing night. Triple Tie Benefit association No. 44 is on the lookout for new quarters. This association now occupies the Modoc rooms, but the membership has grown so that these quarters are too small. "We want more spacious roojis," said one of the members to- lay. "Good, convenient lodge rooms are in ueiiiiiiiu. ijiihuiii rusi, ..-vo. a, G. A. R.. has perhaps the best suite of rooms, in which eight different organi zations meet every week. They have a dining hall, lobby and parlor, and the large hall all well fitted for lodge busi ness." Miss Sadie McCauley, bookkeeper in the general offices of the National Aid association, is in Oklahoma to register for a piece of land in the big draw ing. The 925th council of the Knights and Ladies of Security has been organized in Chicago with a large membership. This shows a phenomenal growth for this society in the 9 years of its ex istence. It was organized February 22, 1892. There are over 40.000 members in good standing in the order. The colored Knights of Tabor met in convention at Leavenworth last week. There- were about 2,f00 present. The officers for the ensuing year will be: Frank Wilson, C. G. M. Emma Gaines, C. G. P.; Bessie Hall, B. V. P.; Sarah Williams, C. G. R. A. W. Hopkins. C G.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 20, 1901. (IT THE CHURCHES i Dean Sjkes Leaves For Balti more to Yisit Children. Kev. John F. Ton Ilerrlleh TVI1I Preach Sunday, 0 SUCCESSOR FOUND. Biskop Millspaugh Has Not Yet Made a Nomination. Sews About Topeka Pastors and Their Work. Dfan Sykes, of Grace cathedral, has gone to Baltimore to visit his children. He will be gone a month, and the pulpit will be supplied while he Is gone. Neit Sunday Rev. John F. von Herr lich, of Kansas City, will officiate, and the following Sunday, Archdeacon Crawford will occupy the pulpit. Then Canon Byvat"r will return and con tinue in charge until Dean Sykea' re turn. There is still much speculation about who will be Dean t-ykes' successor. The nomination will be made by the bishop, but the vestry has not yet re ceived an intimation of who will be suee-ested as the new dean. There has been some gossip concern in? Canon Hywater with the new post, but the talk has not taken definite shfl pp. There Is also a rumor afloat that Rev. von Herrlfch will succeed Dean Bykea at the cathedral here. Mrs. von Herr lich is a pleasing singer, and both are well known in Topeka. Mr. von Herr liffi has a reputation for being' a great church worker and for building churches up with which, ha is con nected. That preachers are considered very unsophisticated was shown one day this week when a very plainly dressed man appealed to one of the pastors of the city for a loan of 35 cents to mend his harness so that he could get home. He claimed to own a farm west of town and a home in North Topeka, and that his wife and daughter at tended the pastor's church. The pastor had never heard of them, and hap pened to be out of change, no that the loan was not negotiated. This same pastor was beaten once to the extent of eight dollars by similar means, and is a little bit cautious about investing any more sliver in that way. He has decided to abandon his loan agency for all time. In speaking of short sermons in suitry weather. Rev. M. F. McKirahan, of the First I". P. church, says he never froes beyond thirty minutes, and keeps the entire service within one hour. "A preacher can say enough in thirty minutes to keep his people busy ap plying it for the next six days." says he. "The Sunday evening service is the bugaboo of the ministers, and most of them would like to see it repealed, or declared unconstitutional. As a rule people only care for one service on Sunday, and prefer to visit with thtir families in the evening. One good big union meeting Sunday evening would be better than a dozen sma;l meetings in a dozen churches. There are so many meetings that call for the presence of the faithful that many find that Sunday, instead of being a day of rest, is the busiest day of the week." Chief of Police Stahl will address a public meeting of the Young People's lood Citizenship Federation at the First Baptist church on next Sunday evening, July 21, at 8 o'clock. "Shadows of a Great City, or City Slums," is a free stereopticon lecture by Rev. C. AV. Wall, of Chicago, at the German Methodist Episcopal church, corner of Tyler and Fifth streets, on Sunday evening. July 21. It will be in the German language. The lecture will be interspersed by beautifully illus trated songs, and the features of the evening will be highly interesting and instructive. At the Young Men's Christian asso ciation. Sunday. 4 p. m.. there will be several short talks on the topic "What I ha ve seen of the power of God to save men." While the governor of Missouri has pet apart next Sunday, July 21, to pray for rain, the churches of Topeka ob served last Sunday for the same pur pose. Kansas leads, and never fol lows. Jokes about pastors running off to the seaside and mountains In hot weather, while the evil one never for sakes his post, does not apply to all the Topeka ministers, for a goodly number f the city pastors are keep ing up their regular services and do ing pastoral duty through all the hot summer days. This hot spell has shown the churches the necessity of providing for the com fort of the pewhoiders. and another year may see electric fans, shirt waists and ice water established as a part of the equipment of the up-to-date con gregation. NORTH TOPEKA. Rev. Mr. Armstrong, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Rossville, will preach Sunday morning at 11 o'clock at the Pleasant Ridge church. Rev. Mr. Pipes of Mineral Springs, Iowa, who thirteen years 8 go was pas tor of the North Congregational church, will occupy his old pulpit tomorrow morning. During the extreme hot weather Rev. T. ,T. Pearson, pastor of the Congregational church, is giving 15 minute talks instead of sermons at the Sunday services. The Christian Endeavor society of the Congregational church has ad journed until September. Before they adjourned they appointed a committee to assist the young people of the other churches with their hospital work. Those appointed Mere Miss Maud Kel lar. Miss Daisy Pearson and Mr. How ard White. At the Second Presbyterian church tomorrow morning there will be com munion service 'receded by a meeting; of the session, and followed by the re ception of new members. Elder Purvis will have the usual services Sunday morning and evening at the Central Avenue Christian church. Morrting subject, "The Peace makers"; evening subject, "Seed Time and Harvest." If the present hot weather continues the members of the Baptist church will hold their evening- services out of doors on their church lawn. These out of doors meetings were tried several years ago and were very successful. The grounds will be lighted with gaso line lamps and seats provided. A committee fro-n the B. Y. P. U. of this church will have charge of the hospital work Sunday. There are now seven patients at Riverside hospital, and the committees from the different so cieties visit there each. Sunday and spend an hour or so reading and sins ing to them. Tomorrow the visiting will be done by Mr. L. L. Frantz, Miss Lillian Klussman and Miss Vertie Forbes. Rev. W. R. Hutchinson, of the Bap tist church, will preach tomorrow af ternoon at Rochester. Rev. Mr. Hutch Inson holds services there the third Sunday In each month, and Rev. J. A Stavelv. of the Kansas Avenue M. E church, the first Sunday in each month. The services tomorrow at the Bap tist church will be as usual, preaching at 11 a. m. and S p. m. Morning sub ject. "Doctrine of the Holy Spirit evening subject, "The Eest Company In the World." UNION OF CHUHCEE3. Rev. Mr. Mooney Think They Are Getting Closer Tog-ether. In a paper read before the Minister ial Union, Rev. W. Mooney of this city said: "In looking for Christian oneness I shall not expect to And it in creed for if minds are unequal in their capacities then they will not grasp alike or in the same order great truths. On questions of statesmanshio such as tiiff. the kind of currency to be used, emigra tion. expansion of territory, men equal ly wise and patriotic, equally -desirous of the welfare of their country, dirfe There may be no system wholly wrons There may be no heresy without some truth in it. Were it not bo it seems to me it would not live a day. Men do not love error because it is error, but they mistake it for a kind of truth. "A sect comes of a disproportionate attention given to some one of the great truths; some doctrine; some sac rament or ordinance; some principle true in itself, but only a part of the truth, and certainly not the great gov erning truth; but it is taken as para mount. "The more a man knows of the truth themoreof the denominational churches can he and does he belong to. And when a man conies to a clear percep tion and a profound appreciation or' the whole truth, as it is in Jesus, he will find no trouble in belonging to ail the churches. The true Catholic church embraces all who have any truth. We have the pleasure in our time of seeing the churches coming nearer together There Is a better feeling; the courtesies multiply; forbearance increases. "In the country is a drunkard's fam ily. Tidings come to the city during a violent storm that this family is in ab solute distress. Mother is sick; chil dren are starving and the father lies drunken in a saloon in a Kansas pro hibition town. The ladies go out. One of them is a Presbyterian; one a Con gregationalism, one a Baptist: one a Lutheran; one a Methodist-Episcopal; one an Episcopalian; one Is a Campbel lite; one is a Catholic and one Is a Free Thinker. They meet at that home. One gathers fuel; one makes a lire; one gets water; one gets food; one smooths the bed; one gives mother some medicine. And so they work together. Living in a large territory they have never met be fore. They come the next day and as they meet they ask after each other'3 health. They have never thought of asking each other to what church they belong: they ore working for humani ty: they are caring for the poor; they are full of doing good. They have Christ in their hearts. So far forth as this work goes. Af ter tne work is done they ask some thing about churches and possibly get uiv.o a. quarrel over creeds. CHURCH NOTES.

Mudge for Cali fornia, where they will be for about three weeks. The special train this afternoon was composed of Mr. Kendrick'a private I car and Mr. MudKe's private car. The new head of the operating- depart mentiof the Santa Fe is a quiet, unassuming- sort of a man, and is t-asily approach able by other mortals which. unfortu nately, can no, be said of all railroad i magnates.

EL RENO ITE0S. Flynn Eegisters Banks Will Notify Lucky Number Holders. Kansas City, Mo., July 20. A special to the Star from EI Reno Bays: The homeseekers are disappearing from El Reno as quickly as possible after reg istration. The crowd of today Is entire ly distinct from the crowd of yester day. The uncertainty of the drawing of homesteaders prevents persons from re maining here at great expense until the drawing is completed. Delegate Dennis Flynn was here to day and registered for a homestead in the Lawton district, and his private secretary, Lloyd Hiflin. Delegate Flynn speaks hopefully of the Republicans being able to control in the new coun try, but in another breath adds that the Democrats will have the best of the situation If less than 75 per cent of the persona registering- at El Reno are Re publicans. Judge John H. Burfoni, chief Justice of the Oklahoma supreme court regis tered today in the Lawton district. Owen McNally, a farmer living seven miles northwest of El Reno, was held up and shot by two white men near the Rock Island depot last night. Mc Nally was in his wagon, and refused to get out, when one of the robbers hred at him. The bullet struck Mc Nally in the left armpit and plowed through his chest, lodging in his right muk. it is inougnt tnat ne cannot re cover. The shot drew a crowd, and the highwaymen fled before robbing McNally. An outfit of deputy United States marshals left for Fort Sill and other points in the new country.

It is estimated that banks will take care of between 20,000 and 2o,uoo applicants. HOUSES ARE SOLD. Santa Fe Bnildings Bring Be tween $3,000 and $4,000. Bids on seventeen houses purchased by the Santa Fe shop committee have been opened, and the properties sold. The aggregate amount received for the seventeen houses was between $3,000 and $4,000. This is considerably better than the committee expected. here was a brisk demand for the buildings. About forty bids were re ceived. Some of the better houses which were offered brought good prices. There are still a number of houses to be Bold by the committee, but the selling can not take place till the com mittee concludes the purchases of the tots.

Sumner County Objects to Under Valuatiou of Neighbor, The county officers of Sumner county are determined that the adjoining counties of Sedgwick and Cowley shall have an assessment roll in proportion to the wealth of the counties, that will nearer equal Sumner's valuation than is now reported. J. M. Reddy. the county attorney: t. L. Loper, county commissioner, and W. K. Wood, county clerk, are here today to appear before the board or equaliza tion and demand that the other coun ties come up to the mark. The county commissioners of Sumner have gotten the county into the big column by diligent work and now they do not wish o have the assessment reduced but they do want the other counties of the state to toe the mark and besides wag ing war on Cowley and Sedgwick they expect to make the crusade felt over the entire state. As one bit of evidence that Cowley and Sedgwick have not re ported their valuation correctly they state that Sumner has reported 3,000 more horses than Sedgwick and more than any county in Kansas. The claim is made that Wichita, in Sedgwick county, is the d'.striubtlng point tor a large harvesting machinery house and that to keep that concern the county authorities allow the firm to pass without being assessed for their stock of soodSi WAS CHOKER'S DAY.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 20. 1001. FOR URjUEVJALL The World's Foremost Clab Woman la Topeka. Gnest cf Honor at Meeting of Citr Federation. TALKS OF IIEll WORK. Gires Topeka CInb Workers Hints of Value. Largo Audience Hears Mrs. Sewall's Address. An Informal Reception Follows ia Unitj Church. The visit of Mm. May Wright Sewall ot Indianapolis to Topeka has been looked forward to with a vast amount of interest on the part of the women of Topeka as one of the most Import ant events that has ever transpired in ciub circles of Topeka. Mrs. Bewail is one of the most dis tinguished club women in America. She was first known as a club worker, and later in connection with the Interna tional Council of Women which was organized thirteen years ago. There is 1' fx, IvV Mrs. May Wright Sewall. a difference between the International Council of Women and the club move ment, which Mrs. tjewall is anxious should be made clear to the uninitiated. The club movement "which was started many years ago was for the purpose of bringing together those who had sim ilar aims and ambitions. The outcome of this was a number of cliques with wide chasms between, and in 1SSS the women of America realized the benefit of organizing this council which brings together those who are unlike and in that way broadening and elevating their standard. Mis. Sewall is a personal friend of Mrs. Annie L IMgers and it was through tier efforts that she consented to come to Topeka. For the past five weeks Mrs. Sewall has been in California working up interest in the council, which is comparatively little known west of Chicago. Most of her time she spent in San Francisco where she made twelve speeches; she also visited Los Angeles. The International Council of Women was organized in Washington, P. C. in ISSrt, with Mrs. Miliicent Oarrett Faw cett as president. The president's term of office is five years; the second president was Lady Aberdeen, of Aber deen. Scotland, and Mrs. Sewall the third. Fifteen countries are represent ed in the council; during; the first few years the growth was siow, but during the past two years six new countries have been taken in. Mrs. Sewall's home is in Indiananolis and she is an enthusiastic ciub worker In her home city. She was one of the founders of the Woman's club, one of the oldest and largest organizations in Indianapolis. She also belongs to the Contemporary club, and is un active member of Sorosis of New York City. Ten years apo she started a move ment toward building a club house in Indianapolis, and today it is one of the show places of the city. At that time there was only one other woman's club house In existence. She is also the president of the Ramabai society of In dianapolis, which is for the purpose of aiding Ramabai to continue her re form movement In India for the educa tion of the hifi-h class Brahman widows She was at th Worlds fair in ism' where she presided at the women's council. MEETING AT UNITY CHURCH Mrs. Sewall appeared before about two hundred women at Unity church this morning, when she delivered an Interesting address on 'The Kvolution of Organization." She is a phasing speaker, and her subject was fall of interest to club women. Mrs. Sewall is an elderly lady of pleasing appear ance. Her hair is almost white and sue wears it combed plainly ba.-k f-om her face and coiled in a knot on top of her head. She wore a handsome c.xitume of ecru grenadine, simplv trimmed with accordion pleated chiffon Mouncew and lace applique. Seated on the platform with M-s Sewall were Mrs. A. II. Thompson who mad" a short introductory speech Mrs W. K. Stanley, Mrs. George J. Barker Mrs Annie J,, liiga-st, Mrs. J. o Mc Clintock and Mrs. W. a. Mi-Carter The musical numbers on the pro gramme consisted of a piano solo bv Miss Cat h-Tin- Snith and a vocal solo by Miss Vera Low. which were thor oueMy enjoyed by tie audience 'iUwing the address an informal reception was held in order that all might have an opportunity to meet the guest of honor. The social hour was in charge of the Current Litera ture club of Fotwtn, and no pains were spared to make the affair a suc cess. As the audience assembled ice water was served from punch bowla in the rear and front of the church. In each punch bowl was a huge block of ice, with a pineapple frozen In one and a number ot" oranges n the other, presenting an attractive appearance. The ice was given to the ladies of the Federation by Mr. W. L. lickey, of the People's Ice company. At the reception ices were served In the lecture room, which was charming ly decorated by the hostess club. The mantel and doorways were draped with flags, and lace curtains hung- at the windows, and several cosy corners added a comfortable, home-like ap pearance. The body of the church was deco rated by the regular decorating: com mittee, which ia eon posed of Mrs. Charles K. Holhday, Mrs. Frank M-r-riam and Miss Kate Gunther. The window, the railings and the pillars were profusely wound with aisparagus intertwined with pink ribbons ending: in fluffy bows. A similar arrangement, was on tne piano. On the speaker's stand was a high cut glass vase tilled with fragrant lotus blossoms. The Topeka Federation numbers over thirty clubs, and though majiy of the members are absent from the city, there is still a large representation here, and each, ons present considered it her duty to add something toward making the affair this morning a suc cess. Topeka is known all over the state for having: a large and strong Federation. The thirty clubs enrolled are all actively engaged in pursuing some course of study. Some are devot ing their time to the study of litera ture, others history, music, Shakea- tSVk j V' :i peare, suffrage, and various other sub jects which interest ambitious women.

Her lec ture wu in the nature of a narrative of the history of the evolution of tb development of organization among- the women. After briefly outlining- the history of club movement ehe dwelt more largely upon the aims and objects of the na tional and international councils of clubs. With a beginning of but two national councils federated together, said Mrs. Sewall, the International organization has grown until it now has twenty four national societies and ten local councils affiliated together. The influ ence which this powerful body exerts is -wonderful, she declared, and the work of organization Is being carried on more vigorously now than ever be fore. One of the prime objects of this inter national body is for the spreading of information, eaid she, regarding th things and events of each of the coun tries as they really exist and not as is quite generally the case, the spreading of erroneous information. Another great object of the Interna tional body is the study of reform in dress, both from a physiological and an aesthetic soint of view. The international body, she continued, endeavors in so far as possible to bring about a system of social peace and international arbitration. The fact that war is waged is deplored for many reasons, one of which is the destruction of life which follows. "Every mother," she said, "should join in this great movement of endeavoring to bring about an International board of arbi tration, to prevent so far as possible any wars. "The club movement began !n the last century," she declared. "The first interest that united women outside the family ties was the church work, the sewing societies.. Soon in connection with the sewing societies, charitable and philanthropic societies were form ed. Young women were educated for missionary work. Until about 1R20 these societies were confined exclusively to tile members of the various churches. "In 1S2S women of diversified churches began to unite in altruistic movements. The American Anti-slave society was formed. People of very widely di versified beliefs were included In this society. They united on one common purpose. "In ISIS a temperance movement was started. It was very different from the societies now In existence. Later educational societies were formed for the wo-nen. They were at first only taken into the educational societies with the men as silent work ers. But in 1832 a movement was start ed by a number of women to organise a society to study higher education and work for the upbuilding of the women. "Soon after a national society was to be formed. In the constitution the last paragraph Included a resolution for political equality. At this Susan B. Anthony, who was one of the prime movers, decided. she would have to re main from the society. She and others were afterwards won over, and now that Idea is first instead of last. "From this time the organizations began to multiply. Gradually the char itable and philanthropic societies be gan to pass from the hands of the men to the hands of the women. In IStJO the women organized an auxiliary to the men's missionary societies. They conducted entirely separate societies. "During the civil war club work was for the time abandoned. After the war and the work of reconstruction was begun, the club movement was again taken up with renewed energy, and has been pursued to this date. The idea of political equality has taken a firm foothold, and will hereafter be a strong feature of the club movement. "The year 1SSS is important in the evolution of the development of the or ganization of the club -movement In that it marks a period from which time the idea began to spread with more In terest over the world and a movement for international organizations was be gun. An international meeting was held at Washington, I. C, and great in terest was manifested. The audience hall which held 5,000 people was always filled during the sixteen sessions of the delegates to the meeting. "The idea then began to spread and take root that people should meet peo ple unlike themselves. This meeting at which this idea was practically illus trated went far to prove this fact. Peo ple of one faith or belief who had never seen or heard other prominent people of that time who were of opposing be liefs, had very erroneous ideas of each other. After meeting with each other in this gathering much of this feeling was eliminated." MUNICIPAL REFORMS BY WOMEN. Mrs. Sewall in the course of her talk made a suggestion for a line of work which may be taken up by every city, and which is very popular in her own city. Indianapolis, Indiana. She said that in her home city, the City Federation of clubs not only num bered the clubs of the aristocratic por tion of the population but that the fra ternal orders for women and the shop girl s societies, and in fact every class of the city's population were represent ed in the City Federation. "Wre have accomplished a, great deal through this channel," said she, "in the matter of municipal reforms. We want ,ed our streets cleaned. We went be fore the city council representing the 20 thousand members of the clubs of the .city. The councilmen could say that it is only the wish of a few of the rich er class for better streets to drive their carriages through, but they were in duty bound to listen to the appeals of the representative classes of the whole city. "This idea need not stop with the matter of securing cleaner streets. There are many municipal reforms which could be taken up with great ef fect. And I believe that as our clubs are organized for the mutual benefit of ourselves and others, that the federa tion of clubs should be mora wide spread so that movements of this kind may be Instituted." MRS. A. H. THOMPSON'S RECEP TION. Mrs. Sewall will remain In Topeka un til Sunday morning and during her stay Is to be the guest of Mrs. A. H. Thomp son.

Pile of Rock in Tenth Avenue Causes an Accident. At 2 o'clock this morning; hose No. 2 from tire department headquarters, ran into a pile of rock which had been dumped in the middle of the road on East Tenth street, just beyond the rail way tracks. Both horses of the wagon were hurt, one of them quite seriously. ;lenn Perkins, driver, was thrown over the dashboard, and ins knee and hip injured. The wagon was also some what damaged. This morning warrants were issued for the arrest of John Maxwell and Cieorge Jones, charging them with hav ing been guilty of leaving the rock In the road. Maxwell is a contractor, owner of the team which Jones drives. He is hauling rock to the Warren Cros by building. It is said by those living in the vicinity of where the accident occurred that Jones' wagon broke down yesterday afternoon at the place where the rock was dumped. Jones unloaded the rock into the road, so it is said, and left it there. No effort was made to throw the rock to one side of the road. The wonderful part of the occurrence Is trmt some of the men on the hose wnsron were not killed. The place where the rock is dumped is very dark at night, and the fact that the dust is so heavy made it still more difficult for the driver to see ahead of him. Perkins and Captain Robinson were on the front seat. Goodrich and llanlon were also on the wagon. When the wagon struck the rock. Ttobinson was holding to the seat with both hands, so he was not thrown out as Perkins was. The injuries to the horses consist of cuts and bruises. The lefts of one of the horses were terribly cut and lacer ated by the stones, but the other horse escaped with smaller wounds. The offense of leaving rock in the Ftreet is punishable by a fine of $50. Chief Wilmarth is manifesting his char acteristic determination in seeking out the parties who are guilty of leaving the rock where it caused the accident. ''It is criminal carelessness to ob struct the streets in this way," said the c hief to a State Journal reporter this morning. "You may say for me that I am going to find out who are the guilty jparties in this case, and have them 5'unished. It is an offense which endan gers not only the lives of the men un der my charge, but it endangers the !ives of all the citizens of Topeka. I am told that it is quite a common thing for the rock wagons which use the Tenth street road, to unload in the mid file of the road whenever they feel like It. and leave the rock there till it suits their convenience to take it away. If a man is obliged to unload, he should have sense and decency enough to throw the rock to one side of the road." Chief Wilmarth was notified this morning of another load of rock which had been dumped Friday afternoon at Seventh and Jackson streets, and left there to obstruct the way. It seems likely that the rock was dumped there by some of the teams hauling to one f the new Jackson street buildings. Chief Wilmarth notified Chief Stahl to rind out who dumped the rock there nd issue warrants for the arrest of whoever it may be. The fire to which the department was poing this morning when the accident occurred was small blaze in a one Ftory frame building at 728 Center street, owned by A. Barton and occu pied by A. Beach. The cause is un known and the loss was very small. Good Work Quick, Colors Guaranteed, Family Washing. Buy Overall Ticket, $1.00 Good for seven suits. OFEI'A liUflDRY Go. (CO-OPERATIVE.)

Carrie Nation is again at large, try ing to retrieve her position at the top of the column, front page, next to pure reading matter. She bore down on Mayor Hughes yesterday af ternoon.and demanded that he give her a note to Chief Stahl ordering him to accom pany her to a joint which she had discovered-Mayor Hughes declined, whereupon Mrs. Nation proceeded to tear things up. She called Chief Stahl a dishrag, and Mayor Hughes another. She said that she had been forcibly ejected from a joint near the Chesterfield hotel, and was going to get her crusaders togeth er and do some smashing unless the chief of police could be Induced to go with her and raid the place.

BAECOCiC FROST, Agents. TOO uflMY SIGHTS Epworth Leaguers Are Admon ished to Go to Work And "Pump Saltation" Into San Francisco People. THIRD DAY'S WORE. George E. Dougherty, of Tope ka, Delivers an Address. Grand Junior Rally at Mechan ics Pavilion. San Francisco, Cal., July 20. The spirit of animation and enthusiasm marked the work of the third day of the International Epworth league conven tion. The delegates had been admon ished at the close of yesterday's meet ing by Rev. Dr. Berry, general secre tary of the league, that there had been too much sight seeing and that "all should get to work and pump salvation into these people." This injunction was obeyed. The visitors forsook all the allurements of sightseeing today and devoted their attention to one of those campaigns of fervid religious enthus iasm and soul saving for which Meth odism is noted. Under the influence of the bright sunshine and a cool and invigorating breeze right from off the Pacific, the visitors sought the places of meeting early. Every one had be come rested and there was an entire absence of anything resembling weari ness. Enthusiasm and a manifest de termination to make this the big day of the convention was everywhere evi dent. Evervthing went with a vim that had been lacking at some of the previous sessions. Again did the sun rise prayer meet ings, with which the day opened, draw crowded houses at every one of the four principal Methodist places of worship. From that early hour on throughout the morning every path seemed to lead crowds to the pavilion, the Alhambra theater, the Metropolitan temple, Cen tral and Howard street, churches. The 9 o'clock opening song services at each of these assemblage places saw greater audiences than had before joined in the first hymn of the day. A long pro gramme of speeches was gone through with commendable promptness, all be ing listened to with the deepest interest and applauded with hearty enthusiasm. Open air meetings were held at half a dozen places in widely separated dis tricts of the city as well as the music stand in Golden Gate park and the court of the Palace hotel.

FOUSD IIIS SON THERE Claimed That Drug Stores Hare Ruined Him. Threatens to Do Some "Smashing on Own Account.. 1 A tall, broad-shouldered old man, with the staff of age in his hand, but the fire of youth blazing in his eye, told an intensely dramatic story to some of the city officials this morning. The old man was Allan Hollcraft. He was pleading with the authorities to avenge the ruin of his son.Charlie Holl craft. He begged for some action to be taken against Kieth Hazen's drug store at 422 Kansas avenue. Allan Hollcraft is a Kansas pioneer. He has the blood of arly Kansas in his veins. He fought the border ruffians, and though he is now past 80 years of age, and walks with halting step, he has tremendously brawny arms, a brown and muscled neck, and he told his story with the passion and fury which can only be born of a father's desperation when he sees his son in great trouble. "Charley has been ruined by that hell-hole they call a drug store," said the old man. "Every dollar that he has they have taken from him. They have sucked him dry of money and man hood. "This morning I went down there. I started to go back behind their screen, where they drink. I knew I would find Charley back there. Their little bar tender tried to stop me. 'Tou can't go in there," he yelled. you,' I told him, 'you get out of my way or I'll kill you.' He got out. I would have- crush ed his miserable head if he hadn't." The old man grit his teeth and smote the table with his fist. "I went back there and found three men with glasses at their lips. Charley was one of them. I told him to go home ,and he started to go, but he was so drunk he could scarcely walk. "Then I went out, and that little fat faced Hazen was there. 'Look here,' I said, 'if you ever sell my son any more liquor I'll come in here and I can promise you that I'll outdo Carrie Na tion. It won't stop with smashing. There'll be something else.' "That's what 1 said to him, and he andstood there and slobbered and gulped and couldn't say anything. I felt as though I would like to slap his contemptible face, like that, and that." Hollcraft swung his long arms viciously,. to illustrate his words. "I have just been in to see the city attorney, and he won't do anything for me. I aai going down to see Judge Redden. I wonder if he is afraid of Judge Hazen, too? All the officers are afraid to do anything to that drug store, because it is Judge Z. T. Hazen's son who runs it. If the authorities won't, I will. I'm an old man, but that don't count. It's grit that counts, and I wasn't out here in Kansas forty years ago for nothing. I'm not afraid of Judge Hazen, nor of his son. "The police officers are making a great blow about stopping the little keg parties out in the bushes, but they let this dirty, damnable hole run on, and sell its liquor, and ruin my boy. He used to have money, but they have' got it now." City Attorney Spencer refused to is sue a complaint for the Keith Hazen drug store at Hollcraft's request. In explanation of this he said: "I told Mr. Hollcraft that all that kind of work was done by my deputy, Mr. Urmy. I am too busy just now to engage in liquor prosecutions. Mr. Urmy is making that his especial oc cupation. Besides, Mr. Hollcraft was so excited that he would not answer my questions, and I couldn't find out anything from him. He seemed to want me to subpoena some of those people to come up here and testify, but I can't do that. I told him to go to the county authorities. If he had stayed and not gotten so excited I would probably have given him a complaint." Mr. Hollcraft says that he knows the names of the people who were drink ing behind the prescription case when he went in there, and he says that he wanted the city attorney to give him a complaint against Keith Hazen, on the charge of maintaining a nuisance. Charles Hollcraft, son of Allen Holl craft, was at one time a well to do contractor in this city. He has been drinking heavily for some time, and was arrested a lew days ago for drunkenness. Several years ago he got a revolver and Winchester rifle, while drunk, and terrorized Kansas avenue till his weapons were taken from him by Policeman Pavey. Troops Leave Leavenworth.

HOT PUTTO WORK Sixty Imported Mechanics of the Reading Kailroad Remain Idle Awaiting Further Developments. COMPANY'S POLICE Will Be Held Responsible For Any Disorder. So Says Chief of Police Miller, of Reading. Reading, Pa., July 20. A calm ha developed in the troubles at the Phila delphia Reading railroad shops here due to the fact that the 60 imported mechanics were not put to work. The men who 'walked out yesterday be cause of the presence of the strangers are still away, and the employes who remained awaited the action of the company as to the disposition of the strangers. The latter remain quart ered on the third floor of the locomo tive shops. The strikers were directed not to go on company property at any time and to at all times refrain from acts of violence. They were also cautioned to stay away from the saloons. Chief of Police Miller said today that if any disorder occurred he would hold the coal and iron police responsible; that a strike involving 2,600 men had continued here for 13 weeks without a particle of disorder and without the presence of special officers and there was no necessity for any of them now. The prevailing impression here this morning is that Superintendent Prince of the Reading shops is trying to settle the strike but the company is giving out no details. Big crowds gathered around the shops at 9:30 a. m. expecting more men to go out but the expected defection did not take place. It is now said that the employes now at work decided to wait until next Monday be fore doing anything decisive. The strikers held another meeting today lasting two hours. The an nouncement was made that Superin tendent Prince was only willing to meet committees of boilermakers. blacksmiths and their helpers. This was rejected by the strikers. They say he must meet committees representing all. The non-union men who were brought here are still in the locomo tive shops, but are not working. They are locked in their quarters, and none of the old men at work are allowed to enter. While the officials say the men are free to come and go as they please they are strangers and presumably prefer remaining in their quarters un til the Reading railroad company has decided what shall be done with them.

New York Stocks. New York. July 20. Some depression was manifested in the opening ot the stock market, but it was offset Dy gains in a number of stocks. Atchison fell 14 and United States Steel declined points, but was supported and rallied '2 point. There were buving orders for 3,0ik shares of Southern Pacific, which lilted that stock to oSi. an extreme rise of "8 point. The trading was languid and indifferent. If this matter alone were considered, much prudential liquidation might take place among eastern investors which will modify the effect of western pessimism. These are the monetary situations and the developments which are taking place in the railroad world. The formation of a new board of directors for the North ern Paciiic railroad is recognized by well informed people at the east as the lirst step in a series of transactions intended to establish thorough harmony in the pol icies of the great western railroad svs terns. The meaning of this is that not onlv will unnecessary building of brajich lines and extensions be avoided, but that the distribution of business will be ar ranged at miinv points in a manner to secure the bust results to connecting and competition railroads alike. The carrying out of this peliey will permit of a reduc tion in operating expenses. Trading became almost lifeless until the professionals began to work up the prin cipal stocks to discount the expected good bank statement. St. Paul, Missouri Pa cific, Southern Pacific and Texas Pa cific rose 1 to lMf points over last nipr'it. A full recovery of the opening of the loss was made bv Atchison, and Union Pacific moved tip 1M points f;-om the lowest. Fluctuations were somewhat wider in less important stocks, for instance Lack awanna, General Electric and Rubber pre ferred risitig 1:2 and 3 points, while Con solidated Gas reacted V C. G.

On the surface of things so far as the observation of Wall street can go, it looks as though western operators were largely short of the stock market. It was their selling which in a. large degree precipitated the extensive liquidation and sharp declines in prices which followed the opening of the stoeit exchange after the prolonged Fourth or Julv hoiidav. They were sellers of the market yester. day. These operations were based upon reports of crop damage. The original selling force was first broken by the showers which brought some relief from the drouth In the corn belt at the beginning of this week. The recent fresh selling has b-en pro voked by the return of hot and dry weather conditions in what '3 called for the sake of convenience the wesiern corn belt. The infiuer.ee upon the stock market of the adverse crop stories was accen tuated by the sharp and well maintained advance in option corn wt Chicago. It is evident that stock speculation for a time will be intlueneed by the variation of opinion and information with regard to the agricultural prospects of the season. Market Gossip. Furnished by A.

Weather con ditions as ideal as those of yesterday prevailed for the final races of the regatta of the National Association of Oarsmen, which will be rowed this af ternoon, beginning at 3 o'clock. The race that is attracting the most attention is the senior eights, in which are entered the Vesper crew of this city which won the world's champion ship at Paris last year, the Argonauts of Toronto, the Wlnnipegs and the New York Athletic club. The betting on this race has been quite heavy, more monev probably being upon this con test than on all the other events com bined. The sporting element seems to fancv the Argonauts of Toronto, who came near beating the Vespers on more than one occasion. The next race in point of interest Is that between K. H. Ten Kyck, the winnerof ihediamond sculls at Henley, and Frank B. f.reer. of Boston, for the national championship. The international fours is also looked upon as a first-class event. The Win nipegs in this race will meet the Ves per crew and the Western Kowing club four of St. Louis. MUST PUT IN WATER. Dairyman Ijuko Ordered to Slake Provisions For Hia Cows.

Office, 722 OH ST. HELENA ISLE Are 4,700 Uoer Prisoners Cronje Growa Weary. New York. July 20 The British steamship Reading fresh from Ascen sion and St. Helena, is now at Jersey City. "There are just 4.700 Boer prisoners on the island," said the Reading's com mander. Captain Fishley, "and of these 17 per cent are Transvaalers and Or ange Free Staters. The remaining 83 per cent is made up of other nationali ties in this order: Scandinavians, Ger mans. Italians, a few Russians, Irish men and even Englishmen, a handful of Scotchmen, a few Americans, a few Creeks and scatterings from other na tionalities. "The farmers are complaining be cause the governor has impressed the surplus labor for work on the break water. A large number of the Boer prisoners are also employed on the breakwater at five shillings a day.Sorne do not choose to work, others labor for the farmers and the older prisoners whittle out toys, which they sell. "Gen. Cronje is also weary of his de tention, but says little. I was told that the proportion of native Boers was rep representative or their entire army." MOKE WEATHER STATIONS. Cotton District in Texas Not Well Enough Supplied. New Tork. July 20. Superintendent King of the New Tork Cotton exchange lias written to Willis L. Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau, inquiring whether the number of sta tions from which reports are received can be increased this season in Texas. Mr. King says that so far as the grow ing of cotton is concerned, Beaumont, Oalveston, Houston and Columbia might be eliminated from the districts now reporting to the center at Galves ton. In reply Mr. Moore says that he has directed the official at Galveston to confer with the cotton trade interests there and to report on the suggestion It may be possible, he said, to add one of more stations to the Galveston dis trict at the beginning of next season if the urgency of the need therefor is es tablished. A COOL PROPOSITION And a Sure One. The Body Does Not Feel Heat Unpleasantly if You Use fiPA PP-MI 1TC 1- 4 KEEP COOL FRO 51 PROPER HOT WEATHER FOOD. People can live in a temperature which feels from ten to twerKy degrees cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by regulating the breakfast. The plan is to avoid meat entirely for breakfast; use a goodly allowance of fruit, either cooked or raw. Then fol low with a saucer containing about four heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape Nuts, treated with a little rich cream. Add to this about two slices of entire wheat bread, with a meager amount of butter, and serv one cue of Postum Food Coffee. If one prefers, the Grape-Nuts can be turned into the .cup of Food Coffee, giv ing a delightful combination. By this selection of food the bodily energy is preserved, while the hot, carbonaceous foods have been left out. The result is a very marked difference in the tem perature of the body, and to this com fortable condition is added the certain ty of easy and perfect digestion, for the food is readily worked up by the diges tive machinery. Experience and experiment in food snd.its application to the human body has brought out these facts. They can be made use of and add materially to t& comfort of the user.

Kansas City, Mo., July 20. Joseph Roberson and "Bull" Holland, the negroes who came near being lynched Friday night last by a mob of 2,000 people on the supposition that they had assaulted Miss Grace Davis, a 20-year-old white girl, and attacked her escort, Vernon Newton, were turned loose to day for lack of evidence. Justice of the Peace Ross in discharging the men said that little credence could be given the statements of Miss Davis and Newton. On the stand both of them admitted having made misstatements regarding the affair. The negroes set up a strong alibi. y RECEIVED BY OTIS. Secretary Root Reaches Chicago on His Return Trip. Chicago, July 20. Secretary of "War Root arrived in Chicago this morning from Des Moines. He is on his way to Washington. Upon his arrival in this city Secretary Root was received by Gen. E. S.

It is announced that Rear Admiral Bowles, chief con structor of the navy, is taking steps for the transportation of the Spanish dry dock in Havana harbor to Subig bay, Island of Luzon.

CALLS AT THE STATION Makes a Demand That Police Do Their Duty. Visit Is Followed by an Official Visit to the Saloon. The cheerful liquor distributers who flattered themselves that the days of Carrie Nation raids were past received a cruel Jolt Friday afternoon when the great hatchet wielder made a per sonal Investigation of the Chesterfield's refreshment room. She saw, and she also detected a familiar odor. An in vestigation followed. She entered the back room where several men .were playing slot machines and smoking. Without pausing to remonstrate with these persons she made a rush for the rear room, where her olfactory organ located the real object of her wrath. Here she found a pine bar, which she attempted to flank with a veiw of see- Mrs. Nation Calls on Chief Stahl. ing what was behind the same. A burly barkeeper seized her by the col lar of her white uniform and attempt ed to eject her. Feinting with her left, she neatly sidestepped and dived un der the counter and seized a bottle of beer from a tub. and escaped. "Why didn't you say you was thirsty, in the first place?" called the proprietor, but she didn't stop to argue the matter. A few minutes later she appeared at the-police station, and the following conversation took place: "Say you, you policeman. Come take that nasty stuff out of your mouth, and come here. There's a joint in the Chesterfield, and I know it, and I want you to go right down there this minute and pull 'em. D'you rfear? Pull 'em, and be quick about it!" "Why don't you pull 'em yourself?" inquired the bold guardsman, as ha looked for an open place to run. "You want me to do your work, do you? Oh, you but the officer made a rapid dash for the rear. Whether the information was the cause of subsequent events is un known, but the joint was certainly raided. There is no more doubt about that in the minds of Messrs. Kelly and Murphy than there is about Mrs. Na tion's visit in the afternoon. These Fenians are of the irrepressible type. The inducements offered by the crowds of thirsty travelers who alight at the Rock Island depot are too great fot them to quit business. They have been disturbed several times at the same stand, but resume business at the earliest opportunity. They left J20i each with the jailer Friday night, and resumed business wthin the hour. Queen Lilioukalani Jordan held a re ception and house warming at her pres ent residence, corner Fifth and Jackson streets Friday afternoon. Among the guests of honor was "hizzoner," Chief tain Stahl, Barrister Urmy and others. Mr. H. W. Demuth, of the Topeka cash, was also present. An imposing array of dry goods was exposed to the view of the court, and it was mildly hinted by some that her queenness had em bezzled the same on a recent visit to the establishment over which Mr. Demuth presides. During the conversa tion relating to the facts of the case a small chocolate maroon individual who said her name was Laura Wisdom, showed great wisdom for one of her age. She gave away the entire trans action, and explained how Lillie had concealed the several yards of finery about her person during a visit to the "Cash." Lime intimated that part of the plunder belonged to the bold young person who had the hardihood to give her away. The girl denied the charge. It was later brought to light that Lillie had also harvested a silk skirt, and that her gentleman-friend, Robert Ran som, had removed the garment to parts unknown. At this juncture, Ransom suddenly remembered a pressing en gagement uptown, and started to leave the court room, but was promptly call ed by Chief Stahl who kept an eagle eye on the victim while Prosecuting At torney Urmy did some pen work on a complaint and warrant. Nothing was heard but the scratching of the fateful pen and the scuffling of a large redolent odor in its mad attempts to escape from the windows, until a warrant was read to the perspiring Ransom. Then he began to deny the charge of com plicity in the robbery, but it was of no avail. He was torn from the presence of his beloved and placed in the re frigerator. The Jordan woman was taken to the slatted rooms upstairs where she will remain until Monday when she will be brought down long enough to hear her sentence pro nounced. Frank Herald of 1419 Tyler street, North Topeka, was fined $25 for violat ing the stay-in-your-house-with-the-smallpox ordinance. He left the pa ternal roof and began working on the U. P. railroad as a section hand. Hav ing no money to waste in paying fines he was locked up. Mon Blivens and Andy Morrison, who run a hole in the wall at 209 Kansas av enue, were again taken in out of the ex cessive heat. They were selling noth ing at the time of their arrest, but a tub full of bottled goods and ice was found under the bed by the officers. That is why they had to raise cash to the extent of $200 each which they left with the jailer. They kept the tub of refreshments for their own use, and think it an awful shame to be deprived of their drinkables during the hot weather. Mr. Willam Gay, of 230 North Jeffer son street, was also visited. He also put up $200 as security. He kept a case in the coal house. .While he was filing 0: strenuous objections to riding In the "hearse," the officers picked up Tom Thumb Wilson, an ancient shriv eled morsel of humanity who TO slightly overcome by the heat. He was put in a cool place and had recovered this morning. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS Lawns still have a sere and parched appearance. The Salvation Army will give an ice cream social tonight. The Santa Fe and Rock Island are in need of telegraphers. D. W. Mulvane, George Findlay and George Case were in Kansas City yes terday. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Johnson are spending the summer at Spirit Lake fishing. The Elks go to Milwaukee tomorrow. Will Alexander has returned from El Reno. Miss Mabel Diggs has returned from El Reno, where she registered in the big lottery. The county auditor has to give a $50,000 bond, and he does not handle any money, either. The railroads are doing a good busi ness handling people returning from the new Indian country. "Have you been down yet?" is now the question, and means have you been to El Reno to register for a chance at the land. The city water mains will be extend ed into the Washburn college grounds. Holbrook hail will be connected with the mains. George M. Herrick, who recently re signed the presidency of Washburn col lege, expects to go to Chicago to engage in business. The youth of Topeka apparently know what the people want for they have started dozens of lemonade and ice cream stands over the city. The gospel meeting at the Young Women's Christian association Sun day will be in charge of the music committee. The hour is 4:45. It is expected that a large number of Topeka colored people will go to Ottawa, August 3, to participate In the emancipation celebration. The B Street Baptist church has is sued invitations to the members of the congregation for a trolley ride Monday evening, to leave the transfer station at 7:50 p. m. There has not been much change in the condition of ex-Congressman John Davis, who lies at the point of death at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. jD. Wrhittemore, in this city. Word has been received in Topeka that Mrs. V. P. Allen's mother, Mrs. J. R. Brown, was fatally burned at Col umbus, Ohio, Friday, .and died at 7 o'clock last evening. The dust has become very disagree able in some parts of town. People on Fourth street east of the railroad say that the dust has become a great nuisance during the present dry weather. T. J. Coughlin, who has just returned from El Reno, says there is a great deal of fiction being circulated about the new country. He says prices are no higher than here, and water is free as air. Two of the smallpox cases have been released from quarantine, leaving only three cases in the city. The sanitary sergeant is offering even bets that by Tuesday there will not be a single case of smallpox in the city. The deep ravine near Eighteenth and Lincoln streets is to be filled up by the city. This ravine is in a very unsan itary condition, and it is believed that it was the cause of the recent sad ser ies of deaths In the Nelson family. There will be 2 ball games at Wash burn Athletic park this afternoon. The asylum and T. A. A. teams will play first, after which the Hyperion and Commisceo dancing clubs are sche duled for a setto of about three rounds. Loren Hildebrant, the reform school inmate, who was brought before Judge Hazen for trial for running away front the school and who was released be cause the law was defective, has been sent to Oklahoma by the school au thorities because they say he was bad. They seemed to be afraid of him, al though he was a harmless enough look ing boy. The best way to get out of the reform school seems to be to loco the officers by posing as a bad man. B. F. Pankey says that he expects to start his telephone exchange with 700 telephones in the city. Topeka has a smaller number of phones in proportion to the population than any town in Kansas where independent telephones exist.In independent towns, there are on an average of 100 telephones to each thousand of population. If the same rule applied to Topeka, we would have nearly 4,000 phones instead of 1,000. The difference between Topeka and the small towns is that in Topeka people pay $3 and. $2.50 a month for 'phones, and in independent towns the price is a dollar.

Stone Mansion Passes Into Pos session of Harry Croft. New Owner Is a Well Known Ex-Jointist. START CHICKEN FARM. He Says That Is His Present Intention. He Will Begin Business With 1,800 Fowls. Stone's Folly, west of town, ia to be turned into a large chicken ranch. Yesterday Harry Croft, an ex-Topeka jointist, closed a deal with the Ameri can Bible society for the Stone property. The purchase price is given as $10,000. Croft will at once go into the chicken business on a large scale. His brother, J. B. Croft, will be associated with him. The American Bible society took the property in some years ago on a mort gage and have been unable to unload it. The mansion on theg rounds is three stories with over 20 rooms. Since Croft left Topeka two years ago he has been in business at Wamego and St. Marys and nas handled chickens on the side. There are 10 acres in the Stone property and all will be used as the chicken ranch. The big basement ol the build ing has 7 well lighted and cemented rooms which will be used for the five incubators. There will be four incu bators of 200 capacity and one of 500 capacity, making the output of the machines, after they are well started, 600 chickens a month. Croft expects to place his chickens on the market SO days after tney eaten. He will commence at once with a stock of 1,800 chickens which he raised at his place near St. Marys. Coop? and pens will be built at once to accommo date several thousand chickens. Croft will raise sorghum and feed the seed to his chickens. A large bone mill and a sand heating plant, which Croft has had in use, will be set up at once. One of Croft's reasons for locating in lo peka was to be near the packing house and butcher shops where he can secure plenty of bones to be ground and fed to chickens. The best markets for Kansas grown chickens are New Tork. Denver and San Francisco and Croft expects to ship out a car load a montn. itejuiar chicken cars, holding 200 dozen chickens will be used. Croft expects to fill half the car with broilers that he raises, and the few that it will be necessary for him to buy. and the other half of the car with chickens which he will buy up from the farmers.

SOCIETY ArvinHOUSE WOMEN WIVES Break Dovn in Summer Pe-ru-na Acts as a Tonic to the Deranged Nervous System. f mi Esther eUjr:: fw Lowe. (1 te Miss Esther G. Lowe, a prominent young society lady of Washington, Ga., writes: I took Peruna in early spring, re ceiving glorious benefits from same. Before taking Peruna I suffered with catarrh, always felt tired and had a dull headache. A friend of mine told me of Peruna. I began taking it at once, gaining each day. I now feel as well as I ever did in all my life. I advise all my suffering friends to give Peruna a fair trial."-- Esther Ci. Lowe. In Society. A woman In society is obliged to keep late hours. She must attend receptions and balls. She seldom allows herself a quiet evening at home. Her whole time is taken up in keeping engagements or entertaining in her own home. Her system becomes completely run down as a consequence. She soon finds herself in a condition known as sys temic catarrh. This has also been called catarrhal nervousness. If every society woman could know the value of Peruna at such a time. If they could realize the invigorating. strengthening effect that Peruna would have, how much misery could be avoided.

Henry Yates, Insurance Superintendent, Springfield, Illinois, Sir: Pursuant to your Instructions and authority, we have made an exam ination of the affairs of the Knights and Ladies of Security of Topeka, Kan sas, and have the honor to make the following report: The society is a purely Fraternal Beneficiary organization with lodge system and representative form of gov ernment and ritualistic line of work. The members are united Into subordi nate Councils under the jurisdiction and control of the National Council. The examination covered the trans actions of the society from January 1, lf"0. to the 1st day of May, 1901. We. verified the statement rendered to the department for the year ending December 31, 1900. and found It to be accurate, and correct In every particu lar. We checked all income and disburse ment vouchers and verified every entry in the journal, cash book and ledger from January 1, 1900, to April 30, 1901, and submit herewith the following statement covering the business done by the society from December 31, 1900, to the 30th day of April, 1901: STATEMENT.

The mortgages were all examined carefully by your examiners. They were found to be accompanied by an abstract of title, principal note, and in cases where the property was improved by insurance policies on the same. In no case does the company loan more than 50 per cent of the value of the property. The notes held by the order are made payable to the order and are non-negotiable. Twenty-three thousand five hundred dollars is invested in City of Colum bus, Kan., coupon 6s due in 1916 (47 bonds, $500 each). The real estate owned by the order consists of their office building, known as the "Security Building," which is a handsome brick structure, located on the corner of Kansas avenue and 7th street, in the most central business portion of the city. It has a frontage on Kansas avenue of 50 feet and ex- tends about 150 feet on 7th street. It is four stories high. The ground floor is rented for store houses and offices. The second story is almost entirely oc cupied by the offices of the order, though there are two or three rooms which are rented for other purposes. The third and fourth floors are used as lodge rooms and committee rooms. The annual rental received from this building amounts to $S,450. The order carries $28,000 insurance on the building and $2,500 on furniture and fixtures. From inquiries made, we believe the property to be well worth the valua tion placed upon it by the order. We also made an examination of the losses paid in 1900 and those paid dur ing the four months ending April 30, 1901, and submit herewith a detailed statement of the same, together with a statement of those resisted and un- i paid during the respective periods. AH y claims are promptly paid when prop erly adjusted.; No claims in litigation and only three resisted claims. It is fitting for us to make some com ment on the method and system under which the order conducts its affairs. We cannot commend the executive offi cers of this society too highly for the perfect system of bookkeeping and the manner of filing all vouchers and rec ords connected with the order. All funds are properly distriubted through the several accounts and their system so thorough and complete that all rec ords and information on any subject can be produced in the shortest pos sible time. Their "Loss Record" and "Loan Register" as well as all other books are complete and furnish all in formation desired by the department in detail. The treasurer receives a salary of $1,200 per annum. The president, sec retary and general medical director each receive 50 cents for every certifi cate issued. These officers, together with the three trustees and the execu tive committee, which consists of five members, are all bonded in the Ameri can Bonding and Trust company of Baltimore, Maryland, for the following amounts: Executive committee $1,000 each Trustees 200 each President 1,000 Treasurer 20.000 Secretary 10.000 From the date of organization the society established a reserve fund which now amounts to $218,695,01. This fund is created by collecting one dollar per annum from each member for each one thousand of beneficiary certificate or part thereof held by such member; said collection of one dollar per thou sand to be made monthly In Bums of 8 1-3 cents per thousand. The following is a table of assess ments, showing amount collected for several funds: Total per Certificates. Reserve.

Washington, July 20. The report that Col. John C. Carpenter of Chanute will probably be appointed to succeed Judge Springer as attorney for the Cherokee Indians has brought out an impression that the appointment is a federal plum. This presumption exists more from the fact that Senator Burton has interested himself in the matter. This attorney ship is not a. federal job, nor does it pay a salary of $5,000 a year. The se lection for the office is made by the chief of the Indians, and the salary is regulated by the secretary of the de partment of the interior, who lays down a specific set of rules regulating the charges for various services ren dered. Furthermore, the department reserves the right to approve and dis approve the appointment for the attor neyship. It is understood that this at torneyship 13 a fairly good paving of flee, but does not reach the $5,000 limit per year by any means.

The church is and should be the great conservator of truth in the world. Rev. Howard S. MacAyeal, Congrega tionalism St. Louis. PRAYER. Prayer Is difficult because it is the language of supreme moments, and our lives are commonplace. Rev. Frank Crane. Methodist, Chicago. REFORM MUST BE REASONABLE. Any reform to be successful must first of all be reasonable. It must aim at the possible, not the impossible. Rev. R. A. White, Universalist, St. Louis. LOOK TO THE FUTURE. What will you do with the past? Best to forget it. The expectant soul caji do no more than turn to opportunl tive future. Take the expectant atti tude. Rev. Thomas R. Slicer, Unita rian, New York. CHRIST'S APPEAL. Christ dead on the cross means much to the world. In that face we can see plainly all the divine attributes. Christ appeals to us from the cross to live as he commanded. Archbishop Kain Catholic, St Louis. GOOD FOR TIME AND ETERNITY. If there is a gain in putting the claims of religion off until death, then It is very foolish to become a Christian at all. For if religion is of no service to us in this life there is no likelihood of it being any use to us in the life to come. Rev. Dr. John L. Jackson, Bap tist, Chicago. COMPENSATION. Everything has Its explanations and justification. The storm that devas tates carries the clear wind of health. The flood that overwhelms carries ori its bosom the germs of new life. The famine that wears away is nature's scavenger. Rev. John R. Brown, Bap tist, Kansas Citv. THE PROBLEM OF THE ORIENT. I believe that the twentieth century will see the redemption of two great cities Jerusalem and Constantinople These two great centers in the hands of civilization will give humanity a new momentum and thus offer a solu tion to the embarrassing problem of the Orient. M. M. Mangasarian, Eth ical Culturist, Chicago. A RICH TRUTH. It Is a very rich truth Jhat death takes from us what we can most easily part with a body which claims so much of our attention is oftentimes a painful burden but it is powerless to rob us of mind and heart, which are the basis of all conceivable excel lence. Rev. George H. Hepworth, Con gregationalist. New York. TOO MUCH DIVORCE. We have heard a great deal about di vorce in high life. There is far too much of this evil both in high life and low life. The standard is not what it ought to be. Luxury has under mined the family idea. But conditions in this respect are infinitely above what they were at the beginning of the century. Rev. Dr. Charles H. Eaton, Universalist. New York. HAS STOOD THE TEST. The church of the twentieth century will have larger faith in the Bible as a supernatural book. The last three dec ades have been years of fiercest criti cism in all departments of literature. The Bible has not escaped. It has been tested as by fire, and it is to come from the furnace to exert a grander in fluence than ever before. Rev. Dr. Pol emus H. Swift. Methodist, Chicago. WHY IS CHRIST'S TEACHING OP POSED? Now, why is it there is so much op position to Christ? Those who manu facture public opinion, those who are in touch with the world, do not desire a universal acceptance' of Christ's doc trine. Why? Because Christ's re ligion preaches sobriety, honesty, purity, and chastity, and there are men and women who have no higher motive than is common with animals. Archbishop Kain. Catholic, St. Louis. ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME. May we hope that the social and in dustrial problems of the world are go ing to be solved once for all? I do not believe It. We must remember that man, socially and industrially, is grow ing. You attain one level. What does that mean? That you are free? No. It simply changes your problems and gives you new ones in order to reach the next level and so on ad infinitum. Rev. Dr. Minot J. Savage, Unitarian, New York. GREATEST BOOK IN THE WORLD. Recently the editor of a literary mag azine went to the greatest department store in our country to find out what was the most popular novel and book of the age. He found one novel that had sold 300.000 copies in a single year and another that had sold 250.000 copies. "But," said the gentleman in charge of the book department, "this is not the most popular book of the time. The most popular book of the day is the Bible. We sell two copies of the Bible, bound in morocco, at a high price to every one copy of this novel that has reached 300,000 copies.." Rev. Newell D. Hillis. Congregation alism Brooklyn. GOD'S BEST AGENT. Wherever genius rears its temple of wisdom and beauty, wherever courage lays low a threatening fear, wherever virtue raise3 the levels of thought or cleanses the springs of feeling, wher ever love uplifts the fallen, sustains the sorrowing or unfetters the en thralled, there woman is in all the glo ry of her mystic power, bearing the world's burden, replenishing its life and furthering its deliverance. Behind the potent man, in all the grandeur of his brain and brawn, is the more po tent woman, concealing within her frailer and gentler exterior the unfail ing sources of his sower, mothering the good that is blessing humanity and lifting it nearer to God. Rev. E. G. Spencer, Church of the Unity, St. Louis. WOULD'SGHEATEST RIDERS TOPEKA SOCIETY. Big Event This Week Reception For Mrs. Sewall. Wedding of Miss Short to Occur Next Week. Famous Equestrians With Bingling Bros. Big Circus This Season. The thousands who attend Ringiing JJros.' circus when it exhibits in To peka, Tuesday, August 6, will not only see the most numerous company of high-class equestrians ever brought together under one management, but also the greatest lady rider that the world ha3 ever produced. Miss Amelia Feeley, who has been especially im ported by Ringiing Bros, for their gTand equestrian conclave this season, has never before appeared in this country, but in England and upon the continent she has taken the public by storm. Even in France and Germany, noted for their great riders, she easily surpassed all rivals and was universally crowned "Queen of the Arena." Petite, pretty, graceful and admirably fitted by nature for the difficult role she essays, she is the very embodiment of skillful, high-class equestrianism. She is as much at home upon the back of a swiftly moving horse as the most grace ful dancer upon the stage. She poses and pirouettes, trips with dainty feet the most intricate figures of the dance, executes difficult maneuvers in horse manship, leaps upright upon the back of her superb blooded horse, while speeding around the ring, and in a j thousand other ways demonstrates her J surpasisng skill as the world's leading j horse woman. Miss Feeley is in ad- j mirable company, for she is surrounded i by a congress of high-salaried riders, j John Rooney, who leads the list of male nders, is the undisputed champion of the world, and .has no successful rivals eithe in this country or Europe. His riding i the acme of grace, daring and agility. He has been well called Ireland's hero horse, man. The long list of other riders, every one of whom is a high-class, high-salaried artist, includes the famous Spanish rider Senorita Julia Lowande; the beautiful and graceful German equestrienne. Miss Au gusta Fredericks; the great Millers, whose whirlwind double jockey act has created a sensation; the dainty and ver satile Lizzie Rooney. William De Van, Dan Leon, and. not least, Aibert Crandall, the clown rider, whose burlesque riding act upon the back of a mule adds an ele. ment of fun as well as novelty to the dia play of equestrian c leverness. This com pany of great riders represents a for. tune in salaries, but nothing is too expen sive for Ringiing Brothers when the en. tertainment of the public is concerned. This is evidenced by the hundreds of other star features presented in the great three-ring circus performance, which in troduces an army of acrobats and aerial ists. forty merry-making clowns, colossal displays of trained animal intelligence, including a new great elephant act, in which twenty of these great animals per. form together at one time in one rin, and a magnificent sixty -one-horse act; and more other new. novel and original features than all other shows combined could offer. This great show armounee that it exhibits the only giraffe of which there is at present any knowledge. WILL BE AT COPELAND. It Will Be a Pretty but Simple Affair. Other Items of a Social and Per sonal Nature. This week was unusually quiet in so ciety even for this season of the year. There were the regulation number of small affairs but the most interesting events of the week, or for several weeks, occurred on Friday and Satur day. The affair Friday was the party giv en by Miss Rodgers and Miss Quigley; this was the largest of the season anl was as pleasant as are all the func tions given by these young ladies. The event Saturday was of course the visit of Mrs. Sewall. the informal reception at Unity church in her honor and the luncheon given by Mrs. II. O. Garvey, also in her honor. It was a disappoint ment that Mrs. Sewall did not arrive In the city until early this morning as as one or two other ladies had wished to entertain for her. As yet there is only one event sche duled for next week and that Is the marriage of Miss Lenna Batho Short and Mr. Berne Matthews Meade which is to take place Wednesday evening at the Hotel Copeland. The bride-elect is a beautiful young woman, and her wedding, though simple will be pretty and appropriate to the season. The bride will be attended by her sister, Mrs. David Norton and Mr. Meade's at tendant will be his brother. The youns? people will leave at once for an eastern trip after which they will go to house keeping in Peoria. For Visiting Girls. The largest affair of the season as well as one of the most pleasant was the party given Friday evening by Miss Willa Rodgers and Miss Mabel Quigley, at the home of the former on Monroe street. The guests of honor were Miss May Dallas, of Washington. I. C, and Miss Florence Miller, of Osage City. Miss Miller was ill, and it was thought for a time that she would be unable to be present, but as she became better she came up in time for the party. The porch and lawn were cosily fill' nished with ruifs, cushions and tete-a-tete corners. Lemonade was served during the evening from a punch bowl on the porch. Refreshments were served during the evening in the dinimr room, which was prettily decorated for the occasion. A short musical programme was one of the pleasing features of the evening. Miss Anna .Marie Nellis gave a whis tling solo: Miss Charlotte Parkliurst and Miss Helen Thompson, piano num bers, and there were vocal solos by Miss Vera Low. Miss Emily King. Mis Irene Horner. Miss Nina Thomas and Miss Faith Andrews. The h(sleH,s were assisted in entertaining by Mis. Charles Holliday. Miss Mary Thomp son, Miss Helen Moon.

T afir.-'J with her, but I pimply had to make the trip. The Van Amsterdams had sent me an invitation they are go in? to live a big fete champetre and really I hadn't the rieiit sort of a dress for the occasion. What I wanted was one of those simple little gowns; sim ple in material perhaps, but marvels of hand tucking, with a bit of fine em broidery thrown in here and there. In other words, I wanted a French gown, and, of course, every one knows that Ne-v York in midsummer is just the place to pick up a Parisian model dress for a mere sons. To cut matters short, I found just what I wanted. The material is nousseline des hides, a cotton material wmVti hjsely resem bles chiffon in Fofmefis and is to fine' in tex ture that it may be drawn through a ring. The color is ream, and it is covered with white embroid r I'm not miif-li of a sum mer girl." ered flowers. The entire gown is laid in fine hand lucks running pel pendicularly. The waist opens over a front of White Valen ciennes ruffling, and between each ruf Ile there is a band of narrow peach col ored satin ribbon. The belt is narrow. with sash ends and a big rosette of the peach ribbon. The ends are embroider ed with butterflies. I forgot to say that the gown is made over peach colored taffeta, which gives it a delicate rosy Slow. Very simple, isn't it? But you thould see it to appreciate the dainti ness. Just as I was leaving the shop I ran into Daisy Van Twiller. I was very much surprised, because I thought the Van Twiliers were at a big seashore re sort on Long Island. "Why, you poor girl!" I exclaimed. "'Are you, too, forced to do your shop ping in this broiling town?" Daisy blushed. I must say she looked very cool and fetching in her smart linen tailor made. "No: I'm staying here," she said. "And I'm having the time of my life." We were near the Waldorf, and I dragged her into the tearoom. Then, after two long glasses of something cool had been placed before us, together with some little cakes, I begged her to tell me all about it. "Well, you see," said Daisy, "I'm not much of a summer girl. My talents are not showy enough nor my repartee suf ficiently brilliant to capture a man from a dozen girls and, worse still. young married wom en, and that's what you have to do if you go to a seashore resort.

But what good are these homely attainments at a bi-r hotel? I can't show any of them off. Consequently the frivolous girl who can giggle fiirt and dance divinely gets the few men there are. and I sit in a corner. I had enough of that last year, pnd so this summer I made up my mind that I would give my peculiar individ uality it proper setting, and that, my dear, is right here in my own home." "Exhausted by this long burst of elo ri'ience, Daisy emptied her glass at one t'i!p. I listened to her in amazement. "But you must be lonely!" I exclaimed. "It must tie awfully dull!" "Dull!" laughed Daisy. "I'll tell you what. Kit. Move your things from the hot'!, stay a few days at my house, and then tell me what you think of New York in summer." Tiiota by Burr Mclnt03b Studio, New Tork. EVENING n II j' I accepted the Invitation purely out. fof curiosity. I never was so surprised in my life. In the first place, you should have seen the house. All the heavy fittings had been removed, and a lot of that delightful grass furniture was scattered around. The portieres and cushions were of iinen fabrics eastern patterns blue and dull greens, with here and there just a suspicion of red. There were any number of palms and Morris chairs and cool looking di vans heaped up with pillows. Daisy wouldn't let me linger down stairs, however, but insisted that I go up to my room and rest before dinner. So I lounged in a little blue and white room. with a much befrilled cretonne pillow under my head and an electric fan soothing me to drowsiness. I cast a sleepy glance at the blue and white cur tains fluttering in the breeze, at the red geraniums in the window box, and I gave a sigh of deep content. After all, it was really very comfortable. I pick ed up one of'theTfatest novels and tried a choice bit from a box of bonbons near by. Then I fell sound asleep, and I never heard a thing until Daisy said i "Come, you lazy girl! Dress!" She stood before me, a vision in a pale pink muslin gown which showed her white heck and arms. "I didn't know you dressed here in the summer," i muttered u sleepily. But Daisy only laughed as, with the assistance of her maid, she. coaxed me into a pale-blue dimity of hers. We are about the same size. When' we reached the dining room, I inwardly thanked her for the loam Who should be there but that rich old bachelor, Jimmy Kemp! It appears that he and Mr. Van Twiller are busi ness, friends, and as the poor chap had no home to go to this relatives are away in the mountains) Mr. Van Twil ler invited him to dinner. I never saw any one so delighted in my life. He kept telling us how dismal it was at the club, how his business was such that he couldn't get away this year and what a pleasure it was to have a real home dinner. I saw his eyes dwell on Daisy with an admiring expression as she gracefully made the salad with deft twists and dashes which showed her plump arms to the best advantage. Afterward he said it was the best salad he had ever tasted. And it was simply great. I'm going to get the recipe. After dinner I had another surprise. We went up on the roof. As on most i r ft

Coffee was iwrved as we lounged there, and Daisy lit- Mr. Kemp's cigarette with capti vating demureness. After awhile It seemed as if all the fellows -1 knew poured in. There were Billy Anstruther, whose business keeps him in town all summer; John Bendick, who is working on that law case of his; Ted Carson, who is making a pile of money down on the street; young Dr. Remsen, who can't leave his practice, and half a dozen other fellows who had heard of Daisy's roof garden receptions. They jollied her for all they were worth so as to get invited again, and she beamed 'on them all. I had no idea she could be such a society queen. Then later on who should drop in but Jack Went worth, who is trying to console himself for Maisie's de parture. He brought his banjo, and we had all the pop ular airs. At 10 o'clock refresh ments were brought up perfectly splen did iced things which Daisy told us she had made herself. They were great, and the boys said so with their eyes as well as with their lips. Then Lit Mr. Kemp's cigarette. ,h(v ali Bflm good night after Jack had made them promise to go on a moonlight sail up the Hudson in his yacht on the following evening. Then Billy Anstrut her said Ire thought he could get off a little earlier in the afternoon, and how would Daisy like a little drive out to Claremont and an early dinner? Altogether, after half a dozen engagements had been made, It struck me that Daisy was having a much better time than half the girls I know who are paying exorbitant rates at swell hotels, for one thins, she has all the men. At any rate, I'm going to try it next summer. v New Tork. THE DOCTOK WAS WEAR.

I K JET. .,5 A Woman Breeder of Blue Grass Thoroughbreds m w HEN James B. Ferguson, the most noted race start er in Kentucky, was shot and killed by an intoxicat ed man, he left behind him in his Kingston horse breeding establishment, near Lexington, Ky., a collection of thoroughbreds nearer to the heart of the noted turfman than anything Wse in this life except his wife. Partly to honor his memory, largely also because she loves horses and was brought up among them in the blue grass region, Ferguson's widow continued the King ston stud and has added another to the short list of women horsa bveeders in the United States. The business, is not new to her. She has been steeped in the atmosphere of it from childhood. She was a niece of Price McGrath, a noted rearer of thor oughbreds and a man whose racing colors orange and green-r seldom came in last. A love of thoroughbreds was breathed in by the young lady, and when she married the famous turfman Ferguson it seemed only natural that she should take charge of the Kingston breeding stables while her husband was away on the race circuit doing duty as a starter. At the establishment there were foaled, reared and trained 14 horses that earned for Mr. Ferguson $140,000, and these splendid animals were bred and taken care of under the supervision of his wife. In her girlhood a brilliant social fa vorite, Mrs. Ferguson was also an heir ess of the McGrath estate. She and her husband built a beautiful country home. To it were brought heirlooms from the McGrath place, including a service of solid silver plate, a complete silver dinner set, a tea set, numerous punch bowls and a magnificent, silver cup, trophies of turf exploits. Mr. Fer guson himself added a rare and very valuable collection of horse paintings, some of which show the power and spirit of a Bonheur. It is a famous home in the blue grass. Mrs. Ferguson gives her personal at WHY SOME GIRLS LACK LOVERS. Why, indeed? There is the girl who never tries to be agreeable unless she may have all her own way. This type of girl is never successful In her love affairs. Be a man ever so smitten with a girl, he is but -human and will not give way in every, Jittle thing. As the old lady said: "Keep a man in hot wa ter a little while, and he boils soft. But let him remain in hot water, and even tually he hardens." Yes, and then he asks himself a serious question. He considers that a girl who is so contrary during courtship will be no better as a wife, and so for his own sake and for hers ne rides away. Then, the girl with the haughty man ner and cold stare. No man dares to make love because there is nothing whatever in her to love, and, as Bridget has it, "one cannot make nothin out of nothin." So this damsel scowls at what she considers their bad taste, ut terly ignoring the fact that her own foolish conduct is the sole cause of their seeming neglect. Imagine a man wooing an ica maiden or an Egyptian sphinx! Another girl without a lover is the exceedingly shy maiden. She likes to admire men at a distance, but the mo ment they draw near she drives them back with her embarrassment. They retire simply out of pity, seeing her dis tress and awkward bashfulness. Finally, the girl who does not want a lover the home girl, who finds a Joy in domestic employment and is bliss fully happy in following her round of duties. There are many such. Perhaps they dream of an ideal lover, but he is so far away or so out of reach that she is content to dream of him as an unat tainable hero. This girl sometimes gets a lover, though generally late on in life. She never loves passionately, but her af fections are sincere, honest and lasting, and she always doe3 her duty. MRS. FLIBBETY ta the most charming creature imaginable. She is pretty., vivacious and sweet tempered. When she ap pears, -with a swish and a flash of laces, silks and ribbons, she may be said to shed perfume and light. Men envy Flibbety and say what a fortu nate man he is. Mrs. Flibbety has only one fault she was never known to be on time or to keep an engagement. When her husband invites her to meet him down town and go to luncheon, he tells her she must be at the trysting place at 12 sharp. His luscheon time is really 2 o'clock, but he calculates if he im presses it emphatically on his wife's mind that she must meet him exactly at 12 or do without luncheon that not later than half past 2 she -will glide into the restaurant. Mr. Flibbety had a brief vacation this summer. He improved it by tak ing his charming wife to Europe and back in three weeks. On, shipboard Mrs. Flibbety -wore a sailor suit- that was simply adorable. There was a mingling of respect in the envy wherewith women regarded it. and even old men kowtowed to it. Mr. Flibbety told his wife that the sailing hour of the vessel was 9 o'clock. As a matter of fact, it was 12. The carriage called at 10. Mrs. F. was not ready. da 5? V' II jam tention to the management of the sta bles. There are 90 box stalls, where the high bred horses have every luxury compatible with good health and activ ity. Each year those 90 boxes, and, in truth, all the stables; have their thor ough housecleaning. Sickness among these equine beauties is extremely rare. Mrs. Ferguson's plan, which was her husband's, is to keep only a moderate number of horses, but to have them of the choicest type. Pursuing this policy, from time to time there is a sale of Kingston horses, at which yearlings and other "culls" are disposed of. By the time an animal is a year old horse judges can generally foresee what it will be. Mrs. Ferguson is emphatic on one point of discipline among her stable help, and that perhaps is where the woman of it comes in. Under no cir cumstances will she allow a colt or i Photo by Bart Mcintosh Studio, New Tork. TAILOR MADE WOMAN'S ODD LITTLE BY TAEITIIA SOUEGKAPES, "The ship will leave us, Miralda," said Flibbety. "Oh," she replied, "the ship can wait for us." Eleven o'clock! "By Jove, I'll give her a scare anyhow!" Flibbety re solved to himself. "Miralda," he re marked severely, "I'm going to leave you. I will not miss my vacation trip just because you are not ready." He jumped into a cab, was driven to the steamer and took his post at the gangplank to watch for his wife. The last gong sounded, the last per son who came to see friends off step ped ashore. Flibbety said to himself things unmentionable. They began to swing the plank off from the ship. Flibbety tore his hair. Drops of per spiration stood upon his forehead. At that instant a carriage clattered upon the dock at a furious rate. Mrs. Flibbety sprang out of it with a graceful bound and was Just able to make the plank before the steamer was "pulled out.". She was radiant In the most fetching sailor costume, every hair in curl, her cheeks bloom ing. She was such a fair vision that everybody turned to look at her. Flib bety hardly knew whether to kiss or kill her. "I told you there was plenty of time," she said. She had waited three hours and risked being left behind to have that costume finished. filly to be frightened or cruelTjrtreated. She will not even let,it be chased into an angle of the fence to be caught. When, therefore, the mistress steps into the paddock with the colts, they flock around hei and even a stranger may walk up to one of the young crea tures and lay his hand upon it and thus "catch" it, in horse parlance. At her last sale the woman horse breeder reduced her stock considerably, so that she now has less than 20 brood mares, but these are of the purest blood and best form. True to the spirit of old Kentucky, Mrs. Ferguson centers her affection and interest in the thorough bred. It is not unlikely that in future animals from thg Kingston stable, en tered by their owner, will follow the circuit.. It is. said there is scarcely a man in the United States who is so fa miliar with thoroughbred history and pedigree a3 Mrs. Ferguson is. ELIZABETH LEE. THE CLOVER Cl-'SHIOV FAD. Clover cushions are a fad of the hour, and the very thought of their dainty perfume will woo any tired mortal to dreaming of "the winds whigh tell of the violet's birth." The clover blooms are carefully dried in the shade, turning and exposing ev ery part to the air each day. One or two of these cushions among a collection of pillows for a divan will permeate the atmosphere with a linger ing fragrance. The covers for clover cushions are varied and novel. One of the prettiest is of white pique with scattered busches of clover worked up on it. GOWN OF PIQUE. WAYS, Mrs. Flibbety had a friend". Miss FromDtlv. a schoolmistress. Airs. TPHhhetv nromlsed to meet Miss Promptly at the trolley station. whence the two would proceed togeth er to fail on a mutual friend. Miss Promptly waited an hour, then went on alone. She found Mrs. r libbety. sweet tempered and smiling, as al ways, just entering- the lady's house. having come from another direction. "I thought you would know I wouldn't be there when I wasn't right to the minute," she said. No argu ment could oosvince her she had done anything wrong, and now Miss Promptly coldly nods when they meet. Mrs. Flibbety feels injured. If a lady tells you she will meet you at 3, don't look for her till half past at the least. If she is an hour late. she generally smiles and says: "Oh, two- or' threa minutes -don't matter." If she has a business engagement on Monday-, she cannot understand why Tuesday or even Wednesday will not do as well. Women are certainly lovely. No body will deny that. But except schoolmistresses and a few others women have no sense of .time or of the necessity of keeping engagements. Procrastination is the thief of time, to be sure, but it is always the prompt people who are robbed, and they are men rather than women. I ASTROLOGY I 2 Characteristics of 2 1 Persons Corn Un- I der Leo J OME of the best and at the same time some of the worsl people are uorn oeiween j uiy 22 and Aug, 22, when the con. I I stellation of Leo, the lion, V' rules. Leo is a fire sign, the second of that triplicity. The sun is the governing planet of the Leo month, and with the sun and the lion nature both in them children born be tween the dates mentioned sometimes come to grief as they grow older, fre quently through not being understood by tlreir parents. It should be remem bered that they have the heat and im petuosity of the sun in them as well ns the sly and cruel propensities of the lion if their dispositions become per verted from any cause. So says astrol ogy. Such children should have the ex ample of perfect sincerity and truthful ness before them at all times, and care should be taken not to arouse their an ger or opposition. They should be led through their affections, which are al ways intense, true to the sun nature. Leo persons whose souls and con sciences have not been awakened are not always truthful, and, like the lion, they lie about Jozy and idle till some thing arouses them powerfully. Then they leap in and accomplish twice as much as others do, after which there may be another lazy fit. They like good eating and animal comforts, and Elea nor Kirk says "inspirational cooks' are to be found among Leo women. The impetuous animal passions of Leo men sometimes drive them on into trouble. Good Leo subjects have splendid capa bilities and a powerful, attractive per sonal magnetism. This is felt even by animals, which Leo people control nat urally. Physically. the are apt to have fine, deep chests and broad shoulders, with beautiful, expressive eyes. They are full of the red blood which the sun nature gives; consequently their par ticular ailments will be of the Inflam matory type, like fevers and colds. In sane persons are found in this sign, likewise sleepwalkers, owing to the powerful psychic influence about them. The Leo born need to keep cool head ed and take much physical exercise. They should cultivate perseverance. They can feel intease hatred and in tense love while these last, but they are inclined to be fickle. Their perns are the diamond and the ruby. They will be happiest when married to persons born under Sagittarius, Aries or one of their own fire signs. CLARA BRANSCOMBE. THE REFORMATION Of THE EN GAGED MAN. Have you ever noticed how circum spect evea a flirtatious man may be when he is paying serious attention to a young lady? But young girls should not be satis fied when such a man has but partially reformed. If he smokes and drinks and has all the other vices In the calendar before marriage, depend upon It that nine times out of tea he will not reform aft er wedlock, for It is not every man who can change the habits and impulses which have become deeply grafted In the bone and turn over a new leaf. What a man will not do before mar riage is no criterion of what he will do afterward. If a woman has not influence enough to effect a reform in the days of court ship, depend, upon it her chances will grow alarmingly slimmer after he has led her to the altar to be sacrificed. If he does not keep his promises be fore marriage, that will be one of tha rocks ahead in life. FLOCTCED WINDOW BLIND. The net and muslin curtains this sea son are perfectly charming. A conven tional flower powdered upon fine net, with appropriate border, such as "this tle" or "ribbon and bow," are all popu lar. Appliques on net and a particu larly exquisite handmade Arabian pat tern in deep ecru lace are much ad mired. There is also a lovely make In fine muslin, with the ribbon, border partly executed by pieces of net insert ed in the most ingenious and effective manner. Curtains and window blinds are so closely connected that allusion must be made to the tasteful styles of the lat ter and in a special degree to those with the bonne femme flounce of muslin edg ed with ecru lace below an effective border of applique on net. The damask hangings have too firm a hold on the public to allow their claim to escape no tice. These lovely fabrics, in the most delicate and beautiful colors, have a great future in store for them. Iu ap pearance they are hardly inferior to silk, and there is something clean and fresh in the idea of draping one's win dows with anything that can so easily be washed.

ATRIGAUJEWS Eddie Foj, Comedian, Gets In terviewed About Himself. Denies That He Began Life as a Newsboy. NOT ABOUT KANSAS. Says Nothing of His Residence at Hiawatha. Items of Interest About Actors and Their Work. Eddie Foy, the comedian, used to spend his summers at Hiawatha with relatives. In fact it is currently re ported that he was a plain country boy once upon a time. The Chicago American has been looking up Foy's early history, and the following- is what they published: 'I wish I could get hold of that Chi cago kibosh who said I started in life as a newsboy," said Kddie Foy yester day afteruoon as he glanced around at the Koss.11 ore. "I didn't." he resumed. "I started in life a common, every-day baby not beautiful, but a sure enough ba by. "later on I sold newspapers and in cidentally became the deadliest crap shooter of the alley back of a Chicago newspaper building. "Another thing I want corrected my face was born on me. "It is not due to art, "Some of my most intimate friends don't believe this, and I have been bothered to death with men who write me for my recipe to look like me. "'No woman has ever expressed a de sire to look like me. "This is something I don't under stand, for while I am not strangely beautiful, and the entente cordiale of my features appear to be disturbed, this phenomenon is unacepmpanied by physical suffering." Mr. Fey looked at the bar. At the conclusion of the service Mr. Foy again resumed. "I know I am not a masculine Maud Muller, but 1 don't think it is exactly ripht to say the girls of the chorus of 'The Strollers' look more beautiful when I am on the stage than when I'm off. They are the prettiest bunch I ever saw, and I think I am a judge. Now" At this point a waiting messenger boy said in a loud voice: "Ter wife wants yer ter come home. Never mind yer face." BY A CHOSUS GIBX. One of Them Discusses Tights and Other Things. Ever since the woman had known the chorus girl she had wanted to ask her questions; but as the questions related mostly to her stage costume, which was very scant, she was afraid. Finally, mustering up all her courage, she be gan, whereupon It developed that she needn't have been afraid at all. On the subject of her stage costume the chorus girl hadn't the slightest hesita tion about talking. In fact, the trou ble was to get her to stop, says a writer in the New York Sun. "The first time you went on the stage," was the question the woman started with, "did you feel the ghastly sensation of wishing to grasp your skirts and pull them down, when there weren't any skirts there to pull? I've heard some say they do." "By the time you have passed the exam.," the chorus girl replied, "stood up before twenty men in a critical row, and had your good and bad points crit icised as if you were deaf, dumb, blind and hadn't any feeling or interest in the matter whatever, you don't care as much as you might for the opinion of the general public. By the time they have half-closed twenty pairs of keen cold eyes, looked you over as if you were a senseless two-year-old and said, 'Dunning, you're a little off on the left side there. Pad!' or, 'You're a bit too big in the waist. Lace!" you have about got over any little squeamish ness you may have possessed before you've had time to stand up and face the audience. "You never can tell how a girl is go ing to look in tights from her looks out of them. The managers can hold your arm all they want to, hold it till they're tired, but they can't tell. Anyway, what's the difference? Out of twenty four girls in our chorus, twenty-two wore symmetricals." "And what," asked the woman, "are svmmetricals?" The irirl looked at her disgustedly. "Don't you know? They are the fig tires of the chorus girls. They buy them for so much and put them on." The woman got to laughing. "And what about the bald heads? she gasped, by and by. "It's good enough for them," declared the chorus girl. "They sit In the front rows and gaze beamingly at them, those symmetricals, and smile and gig gle and nudge each other and ogle. They might as well ogle so many rows of wax figures If they only knew it: but then they don't know it, so what harm does it do? They are just as well off and those symmetricals help many a poor girl into the chorus who would be selling matches in the streets if it wasn't for them. "I shall never forget a new girl who came one night into the chorus looking as near like a dream as a girl in tights could. She was perfect, absolutely. I never Saw such a figure on anybody and the rest of the girls said the same. Ve were green with envy, the whole 23 of us. "SVe said, 'Now, we are done for. That girl'll stand up before the foot lights and take the looking at away from every last one of us. That's what will do. We won t be in it.' "It is exactly what she did, but we laid for her. One night she came in late without her symmetricals, and we sized her up. Of all the figures! We didn't say a word about it! Oh, no! "And as for making lightning changes well if you think the life of a chorus girl is all strawberries and cream, you ought just once to try making a light ning change with the accommodations usually given to the chorus girl. This was what we had to do: Our rooms were on the top floor. They alwsvys are. We had. therefore, to run up five flights of stairs to undress. We began un dressing on the way up. We had then to change from tights to skirts, change slippers, stockings, neckties and gloves, hook our bodices always fastened in the back and run down again, all In the limited space of five minutes by the clock. "Imagine 24 girls tearing upstairs at breakneck speed in a jumbled row, un buttoning each other's bodices as they run, then leaping back down again, buttoning them. "Often I have gone on the stage, smiling and bowing fit to kill, with my bodice wide open inthe back, because. you see, I Was first off and the last on and there was nobody back of me to button It." "How much do you get a week? asked the woman. "Eighteen dollars, but if you are not careful a lot of that goes one way and another with fines and that. If there's a tear in your tights and you have to keep them mended yourself, mind you you are toned &o cents. If your skirts are not span clean you can fancy what the laundry bills are for lace skirts with a dozen ruffles another fine, 50 cents. If you don't get on the stage in time, 50 cents. If you get off too quick, another 60 cents. It doesn't take very many of these 50 centses to make some dollars.if you want to know and, they seem to try and see how often they can fina you. If you turn around they fine you. If you don't turn around they fine you. So there you are. "'I know. To see a girl standing up before the footlights, serene and bloom ing in pink tights, a yellow wig and a pleasant smile, you'd think her life was one long, radiant dream ;but that's just where you'd find yourself very much mistaken," she finished and sighed. BEHIND THE SCENES. Pathetic Incident Concerning Chil dren on the Stage. In th play of Miss Multon" several children are required for the first act they are, fortunately, supposed to bo the children of the poor, and they come to a Christmas party. As I had that play in my repertoire for several years, says Clara Morris, in the Critic, I nat urally came in contact with a great number of little people and that's just what they generally were, little men and women, with here and there at long intervals a real child. The play requires that one child should be very s-nall, and as it was no unusual thing for the little one to get frightened behind the scenes, I used to come to the rescue, and as I found a question about "Mama" won their attention the quickest, I fell into the habit of saying, first thing: "Where's mama? Is she here? Show me where." And having once won attention, it had gone hard with me indeed had I failed to make friends with the youngster. One Monday evening as I came to my place I saw the new baby stand ing all forlorn, with apparently no one at all to look after her, not even one of the larger children. She was evi dently on the very verge of frightened tears, and. from old habit. I stooped town and said to her, "Where's mama, dear?" She lifted two startled blue eyes to my face and her lip began to tremble. I went on, "Is mama he.-e?" Th v-hole little face drew up in a dis tressed pucker, and with grasps she v hispered, "She's in er box!" I raised my head and glanced across the stage. An old gentleman at in the lox opposite and I knew a merry young party had the one on our own side, so I answered, "Oh, no, dear; mama's not in the box she's' wlien the poor baby cried. "Yes she is my mama's in a box!" and buried her curly head in the folds of my skirt and burst into sobs. At that moment a hard-voiced, hard faced, self-sufficient girl pushed for ward and explained in a patronizing way: "Oh, she's too little to say it right. She ain't got no mother she's dead and it's the coffin Annie means by the box." Oh, poor baby, left be hind! Poor scrap of humanity! MODJESKA'S SHEEP RANCH. It is the Center of Much Komantlc Interest. Mme. Modjeska's sheep ranch in Orange county, southern California, de serves attention not alone because it is the property and place of recreation of the talented Polish actress, but also on account of the artistic colony a sort of Polish Brook Farm on American soil which was located here some time during the seventies, says the Commer cial Advertiser. It was something like a country salon with Mme. Modjeska for a central figure, the most conspic uous figure among the men who were thus grouped about the celebrated actress being Henryk Sienkiewicz, au thor of "Quo Vadis," "Pan Michael," and "Without Dogma." The great novelist was still a very young man at that period, at the threshold of his splendid literary career, and some of his early sketches, laid in this country, were con ceived on Mme. Modjeska's farm. He is said to have been in love with the actress, and although his feeling was never reciprocated, yet the presence of the actress served him as a source of inspiration. Theatrical Notes. Amelia Sumrnerville has been re-engaged for "The King's Carnival" next season. Idalene Cotton of the vaudeville team of Long and Cotton is critically ill in Chi cago.

Suhscriliers of the State Journal CiK'ay during the summer may have ike paper mailed regularly each day io any address at the rate of thirty rents a month. Address changed as rf ten as desired. While out of toten tie State Journal will be to you like a daily Jdter from home. Kansas never does anything in a email -nay, not even in the matter of SiOt dry weather. It was one month yesterday since there has been rain in Topeka, suffi cient to lay the dust. Providence appears to have united tvlth the Home defenders in the effort to make Topeka a dry town. For nearly two weeks, the mercury lias pone above 100 at the government observing: station each day. The St. T.ouis Ftar sugsrests to the citizens of that city that while praying for rain, they slip in a word for honest elections. Isn't this mixing politics with business? Fort Fcott believes the prohibition law is a failure and proposes to try open saloons. Fort Scott is located too close to Missouri to be a genuine Kansas town. Tf the railroads of the country desire to do the handsome thing- by Buffalo and incidentally fill their own cotters, let them make a cent a mile rate from anywhere to the Pan-American. A California physician has discovered a new throat disease and the microbe producing it. A new throat disease w ould very naturally select a place with such a climate as California, for a bus iness site. The penitentiaries of Pennsylvania are reported to be overcrowded. Per haps that explains why the affairs of the state are in so deplorable condition and "why so many people of a certain class are permitted to be at large. When one considers the years that are tvnsted in the study of arithmetic in the public schools, it is not surprising that the Baltimore superintendent of schools was allowed at Detroit to de clare, unchallenged, that arithmetic is cf no value to the majority of pupils. Tavid Bennett Hill's raper, the Al- lr:nv Argus, takes a shot at Col. Bryan sn the following: "On top of the terrible heat and drouth, Kansas City's export lumber trade seems to be failing off rapidly. There is no demand for Kan sas City planks from up-to-date platform-builders." "When the friends and admirers, of Xavid Bennett Hill succeed in eliminat ing the friends and admirers of Wil liam Jennings Bryan from the councils -of the Democratic party in accordance with the beginning made in Ohio, they nre likely to find that they are the tail left without a dog to wag. It is announced that in August the British postoftice will introduce a tele phone system in London with a rate of S10 a year to householders, by which full service can be secured at from 1 to 2 cents a message. Any one with a tele phone at home will be free to go into a postofiice anywhere and communi cate with his family. At last there has developed a dispo sition to render a measure at least, of Justice to Admiral Schley. The limit in abuse and misrepresentation of that pa Hart otlicer appears to have been reached in a history of the Spanish American war prepared for the use of the cadets at the I'. S. naval academy at Annapolis. The insult to Schley was so gliring that Secretary Long was constrained to order certain portions of the history eliminated before he would permit its being placed in the hands of the cadets. From the annual report on railway fuatisifcs just issued by the interstate commerce commission it is stated that railway earnings during the first half of the year. 13oo, indicate by far the largest business ever transacted, ex ceeding the same months in 1900 by 10.3 .per tent, which in turn exceeded 1S9'J by lo.T per cent, and those were 6 per cent greater than those of 1S9S, which ho wed an increase of 13.1 per cent over ,S9"- This phenomenal growth during four years amounts to an increase of Over $2i'.i,000,0u0, or about 50 per cent. Tcnxi STAND XTP FOR KANSAS. The full meaning of the warning of K. D. Coburn concerning the erroneous and unjust sensational ami harmful stories concerning the situation in. Kan sas, which are beingr sent out from her on the wires comes home with re newed force when one reads a story printed in the Salt Lake Tribune a few days ago purporting to emanate from Topeka. The ridiculous exaggerations may be appreciated by the people of Kansas, but those who are not acquainted with the actual conditions as they exist here, are liable to be influenced to believe the circulated stories true. Here are a few statements which will bring a laugh from those who know: "The suffering in Kansas from the prolonged drought is now more intense than ever. The skies are leaden and the sun's heat Is intense. No immediate relief Is expected. "With waterworks giving out, ice famines threatened and farm products of all kinds obtaining large prices, the situation is becoming a serious one for Kansas. "There is not a city in the state which is tonight able to cope with a fire. Buildings have reached such an intense degree of dryness that a fire will start on the slightest provocation, and once started in some parts of the city enormous losses would ensue. "Much sickness is resulting from the scarcity of good water. Boiling the wa ter even will not remove the disease germs with which it is infected, so very low is the supply." It is probable that correspondents whose salaries are increased by the amount of copy furnished have hit upon the temporary misfortune Kansas is suffering to enlarge upon and exag gerate, so as to fill a great deal of space. Anything about Kansas is greedily snapped up by newspapers. The conditions do not warrant one's taking so much license as is shown in the published reports. It may take years to eradicate the effect of such re ports. SUPPRESSING NEWS. Minnesota's governor in trying to keep all information concerning the Youngers from the newspapers made a common mistake. The people, by ex pressing their wish, through the medi um of politics, released the Youngers from prison. Now the governor, with the laudable purpose of protecting the famous prisoners from further notor iety, tried to circumvent the reporters. By implication such action puts add ed stigma on the newspaper profes sion. It puts the craft on the defen sive without necessity. In operation the newspaper man's defensive because aggressive and the inevitable result is that instead of putting a quietus on matters, the hubbub is the greater. Nowadays people, practically, go to bed with a newspaper in their hands and wake up with a fresh one at their elbows in the morning. It is largely a matter of habit, but it is one that a few officials. Shakespere s men dressed in a little brief authority" cannot break in their rare attempts. They gain noth ing by arbitrary actions. The papers get their news over and beyond ob stacles such as these gentlemen set up. They are used to surmounting difficul ties. Their emissaries are specially trained to conquer such emergencies. Officialdom makes it unpleasant for the emissaries bvit it cannot seriously check the gaining of an end. The newspaper clan is meekness it self. When some arbitrary chaps flaunt it, the clan starts a game of circumvention and the clan usually comes out with more color flying than the arbitrary chap. No progressive newspaper would miss the opportuni ties for bright and entertaining news matter that lies in the Younger pardon incident. Those men have been private individuals very private for twenty five years. They join the great public; again. How will they act? What will they say? A new- generation controls affiairs and does the world's work. It is almost like a new country that has de veloped with immense strides since they were put away. It is a social ex periment. The public watches the placing of two rieces of clay of a past generation into the midst of new pot tery, just the same as it would watch an unusual chemical or scientific exper iment. Men can muzzle the press, briefly, but they can't spike it. MARTIAL LAW FOR COUNCIL. The military mayor of this sun burned city, deeming that the weak nesses of his administration demand forcible concealment, has established martial law over the members of the city council. The following general orders might soon be issued from the -headquarters of the colonel major general command ing: "To Members of the City Council: "Deeming it for the best interests of my administration, 1 will hereby sus pend parliamentary law during the meetinir of the council r,r th i. Topeka. The following rules will be enforced by Ueneral F. M. Stahl com manding the Jackson street brigade- "No members of the council will be adowed to come to meeting armed with resolutions of investigation, or other dangerous weapons. "Any member suspected of planning to start any discussion of my official ac ts will be tried by coort martial and shot, guilty or not guilty. "Whenever any member desires to speak in meeting, he shall arise and salute me, and stand at attention till I answer the salute. He may then talk till I tell him to quit. "No member of the council who op posed my election shall be eligible to appointment as chairman of any com mittee, and further, I will trv to" rub it i"yn such members at every opportun- "Members of the council must refrain from discussing any of the following subjects either in council meeting or in private, under pain of being- bucked and gagged; aiK.lntment of Kufus Irazier. Hank Carpenter and Samuel Hall; bigger salary for the mayor; the fee-grabbing steal; the coal truef ciearettes; the Sheldon drinking foun tain. Other subjects will be added to tins list from time to time. "Permission is hereby given to me to wear a crown and assume the title of military dictator at any time I may see lit. "Signed with the great sign, and sealed with the seal of my province of ToTeka this blank dav of July, l'.M31. "COL. MAJ. GEN. J. W. F. HUGHES, "In Command. GEN. FUNSTON'S RESIGNATION The announcement that General Frederick Funston will soon resign his commission in the army will not greatly surprise those who know the little general, but there are a great many who wJ.ll not understand why a man should give up a sinecure which pays $5,500 per year, when its retention means a life of little labor and com parative independence, especially when the owner of the title and position has no resources outside his own individual effort. But General Funston is not like other men. If he had been he would not be the hero of the Philippine war. He laughs at difficulties and he thirsts for adventure. The Luzon swamps have no more terror for him than the Arctic snows or the stifling air of Death Valley. He cares only to meet ob stacles that he may surmount them. When Frederick Funston was called to Tampa in the early stages of the war with Spain he was laughed at by the men in gold lace who held Uncle Sam's commission to command com panies, and the colonels and generals wasted but little time with him, though he had been called to their councils. Funston felt the slight and spoke of it when he returned to join his regiment, but there is not a single one of the officers who were assembled at Tampa whose name now shines as high in the military firmament as tnat ot tne little soldier they spurned. It is the spirit of the young Kansan that carries him through. Now that the fighting is over and there is little for the members of the army to do but draw their pay and keep the dust brushed off their uni funis, it is not surprising that Gen eral Funston should talk of surren dering his commission. He is not i dress-parade soldier. He cares little for gold lace and epaulettes, and champagne suppers in officers' quart ers are not so pleasant to him as sol diers' fare cooked in a camp kettle while the enemy's sharpshooters are near. General Funston will probably come home, but he will not stay. He .vill not be a candidate for governor or anything else. He will search for fields in which his boundless activity and courage will have room to assert them selves, and then he may again be heard from. WAR OF THE DOCTORS. There is a question in the mind of medical fraternities as to the next probable candidate for recognition in the great medical congress. First were the Allopathists, who refused to recognize the Homeopathists when they appeared on the field. They de nounced them as murderers because they let the victim die for want of medicine. They retaliated by applying the same charge to the allopathic be lievers because they slew the patient by over-dosing. It was not long be fore the Eclectics appeared, and then the two former faiths joined forces to eliminate the new arrivals, but in the course of time they became a recog nized force and were joined with the other two for the destruction of a new school known as the Christian Scien tists. For some tine the trio waged war upon the latter, even hauling the be lievers and practitioners before the tri bunals of justice to answer the charge of murder. This warfare was brought to a close by the advent of a fifth hal lucination in the form of Osteopathy, which took a turn at standing up un der the combined blows of the prede cessors, which continued to fall until the Magnetic Healers made their debut. The same performance on the part of the allied forces, now includ ing the followers of osteopathy, was gone through with. Again the same diversion. The magnetic healers be came part of the elect, and assisted in the attempt to quash the,Vito pathists. The latest departure, the Physio-Medical fraternity, is now bearing the combined attack of all the others, including the "vito" followers. What next?

Blood letting, blistering, per ishing by thirst, red hot and ice cold baths, and many other "experiments" have been tried so far, and the end is not yet.

If there is power enough to be spared at the city electric light plant to run an ice plant, then there ought to be power enough to do a little more effectual lighting of the streets. When the lights are supposed to be burning the streets are dark enough. as the lights burn with a very uncer tain glow. The "moonlight schedule" seems to be a poor systejn to those who wish for light. If the moon happens to be behind a cloud, or late coming up and the night is dark, it seems to make no difference, and the street lights do not burn just because the moon should be, but is not. doing busi ness at the old stand. Topeka, with the street lighting plant that it ha&, should certainly be better lighted. jayhawkeb JOTa Even the fireflies-have succumbed to the withering drouth that prevails around Abilene.

GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. So many people keep their peach un til it rots. The brakemen call a jug of whisky a "crate of snakes." An Atchison man died recently who was so worthless that his wife came out in colors instead of black. When a woman hears of another wo man's age, she involuntarily does a job of subtracting, with her own age as the figure. An Atchison man has such faith In his wife's prayers that he refuses to let her pray for rain until he toas learned to swim. When you tell a man a funny story. and he does not see the point, ever notice the fool grin on his face when he tries to be appreciative? We don't know what is meant by artistic temperament unless it means that the girl having it picks out a switch that matches her hair. Everyone pays more for a vacation than it is worth, but he is perfectly- satisfied, though he would grumble if he had to pay more than the regular price for a beefsteak. An Atchison woman complains that her husband says to her tenderly, "Come to me for everything you want," and, when she goes to him, he argues her out of getting it. At an Atchison church yesterday they sang, "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing," "Let Some Droppings Fall on Me," "With Joy Shall I Draw Water Out of the Weil of Salvation.' and other wet hymns, but still no rain. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Most people seek sympathy when they ask advice. Never ask a favor of a man a quarter of an hour before dinner. There is no man so deep but that he has at least one shallow spot. An appropriate wedding present for a bacnelor is a copy of "Paradise Lost.' Some men resemble pyramids broad at the foundation, but narrow at the top. Young ladies and promissory notes should be settled when they arrive at maturity. A man should not be judged by an occasional exertion, but by his every day actions. Unless a man has an exceptionally good memory he should not set himself up as a liar. Pleasure is often but a change of pain. A. man who has had the gout feels first-rate when he gets down to ordinary rheumatism. Men are born with two eyes and only one tongue in order that they should see twice as much as they speak. Of course, tins does not apply to women. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.

Every girl has a longing to be kissed so it will take her breath away. A man s business ambition is the parachute that saves him when he falls out of love. When a woman is in love she has about as much regard for other people as sne nas lor herself when she is sea sick. The reason why Christian Science succeeds so Well is probably because it teaches women that there is really no sucn tning as wrinkles. When a girl laughs at a man's joke. sue generally keeps it up till some one says something else, so no other woman j can ask ner to explain it. BOOK NOTES. "The Crisis" still leads the sale of books in New York: and elsewhere. "The Helmet of Navarre is second and "Tarry Thou Till I Come" third while the "Puppet Crown" has dropped to fourth place. "Jack Raymond" is fifth and "Tribulations of a Princess, Sixth. "The Crisis" published by the Macmillan company is by Winston Churchill and it bids fair to rival his "Richard Carvel" in popularity. The scenes of "The Crisis" are laid in St. Louis, nearly a century later than the scenes in "Richard Carvel. The heroine of the story, Virginia Carvel, a gTeat granddaughter of Richard Carvel serves to connect the stories in interest. The hero, Stephen Briee, is a young New England lawyer seeking fortune in the southern city. Among the many char acters in the historical setting of the story we meet Grant, a poor farmer, later, the greatest general in the army; Sherman, president of a small street car line, later also a conspicuous and picturesque figure in the history of his time, and Lincoln, a struggling country lawyer later as president in our great est national crisis.

TOPER A STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EYEXIXG. JULY 20,1901. 13 The summer girl if a' much mp.Iin-'-a personage, but in spite of that faut .he is an unfailing sour, e of interest to her friends aci the publi..1. who delight to read of her original sayings and doing?, and above all her (towns. There are s--veraj types of summer girls, and nearly every one is delight ful, and has a train of staunch fol lowers. The oldest type, and the one which causes the entire class of sum mer pirls to be criticised is the one who is invariably met with at fash ionable summer resorts. She wears marvelous gowns, does her hair in the most intricate fashion, and inhabits the most unfrequented corner of the piazza, where she has one of her many devo ted admirers always at her side. Her chief ambition is to see how many hearts she can break during one sum mer's campaign. Fortunately though this class is al most obsolete. The favorite summer girl today is the one who is up at sun rise, ready for a row after her regular morning dip: she returns for breakfast with a healthy appetite, and after it is appeased she is ready for oif, tennis or any othr amusement that offers. "When evening tomes she discards her shirtwaist and short skirt for a pretty evening gown and is ready to d:r.eo with the best of them. "What matters it that her face and hands are tanned from their almost constant exposure to the sun and wind? She is not a prig by any means and is not above a quiet little flirtation but it is of the whole some kind that does not leave a sting behind. The lot of the summer girl in TopePa is a hard one. There is absolutely nothing- for her to do. To be sur there are golf links but few care for the game and then it is too hot to play tennis and croquet are bo'h sadly out of date and no one is willing to take the initiative in getting up picnics, parties or any other entertainment that mifrhf break the monotony. So the To peka summer girl is usually invisible until after sundown when she sa'lies forth prettily gowned. ready for a drive, a visit or anything else that may turn up. When it is absolutely neces sary for her to appear on the street during the day she goes in for abso lute comfort, regardness of appear ances, but as a rule she manages .o look coo! and sweet with the neck of lier shirtwaist turned in and her sleeves rolbti back to the elbow; thi3 is one of her especial fads this warm weather. For the Summer Girl. CARE OF THK OIMPLKXION. The summer season is the best possi ble for improving one's complexion, al though many women are so foolish as to use it solely for injury to 'the deli cate skin. The copious perspiration tends to free the pores and i-ells of for eign particles, and should be assisted in every way and powder should be used only -.when social engagements make it necessary, as it is likely to clog the pores of the skin. To prevent sunburn and freckles. both of which may be of permanent injury to th complexion, one shouid be care ful not to walk in the open air with out a hat or parasol. Kven when the sun seems shadowed there is danger, and "wind tanning" is quite as serious as sunburn. In the country it is much more com fortable to discard the hat as much as may be, and make the parasol a con stant companion. Befor going out the face should be covered with a nure coH cream, which is to be removed with a soft linen cloth, but shouid be used wit r reasonable economy. Powder is trwn applied freely, and the super fluous rubbed off. This will do much to prevent sunburn and fr-ckles. It is a ECd plan to take a package of borax when going into the country, as the water is often "hard." F.ither borax or ammonia will soften it. S-nne people seem to think that "if a little is good, a great deal is better." and add ammonia to the water in such quanti ties that it becomes irritating to tre kin. Too much borax has a riryimr tendency that is equally bad. It is well to remembrr. however, that the fac is not to be bathed directly after expos ure to the sun's rays or its reac tion upon the water or sandy beach. Water should not be applied for some hours after such exposure. It is better to remove the dust of driving or walking with lanoiine. removing tbe shine with powder. The difficulty of bathing in the sea without incurring sunburn seems in surmountable, but much may be done to prevent it by using the sani- coun teracting influence as on other occa sions an application of cold cream and a liberal supply of powder, with an ef fort to keep the fate from contact with the water. Salt water bat ht-isr" is enjoyable as a diversion and M a tunic, but is not good &s a iiair v.OWl J 4 fc dressing or complexion lotion. The wise maiden is she who foregoes something of tr.e pioturesqueness. refuses to allured by the sight of luxuriant iotks drying- in the sun. and takes her bath with hair protected by an oilskin cap and face shielded by a wide brimmed straw hat. She may nov look so pretty for the few moments on the sands, but can chortle with triumph a little later, when she dresses for dinner and ioTks fair as a lily, while the other twirls re semble "ox-eyed daisies, all yellow and broun." It is wise to keep lemons always in one's room in summer. After using one to make a glass of lemonade, the juice left in the lemon is an excellent defence against freckles and tan, if rubbed on the face before going; to bed. A simple and good lotion for nightly use, to ward off the effects of the day's outings, is made of one drachm of tinc ture of benzoin, one ounce of rectified spirits of wine and eight ounces of rose water, mixed, with the juice of a lem on added. One of the most important influences in keeping the complexion pure in sum mer is the diet. Little meat and pastry should be eaten. Fruits, vegetables, fresh fish, chicken and eggs ought to be the principal food of the summer girl. Milk is a useful addition when it agrees with one, but coffee should be vetoed absolute:', as It tends to make the skin sallow. The English custom of drinking rather weak tea for break fast is a good one, and may help to explain the proverbial "lilies and roses" of the English girl's complexion. The care necessary in bathing the face cannot be insisted upon too strong ly. Soap should be usiid rarely, a bran or oatmeal bag serving the same pur pose much- better. Origin of a Popular Custom. The origin of the curious custom of throwing an odd shoe after a newly married pair for luck has been traced back to a French peasant origin by a young man interested in folk lore and quaint customs. In southern France, after 'the wedding ceremony, the bride is escorted to her new home by her girl friends and left alone; the young hus band, also in the hands of his friends, is next led to a noint a couple of hun dred yards away from the dwelling, where a halt is made. Then the girl's rejected suitor, if there be such a one, arms himself with an old cabot, or wooden shoe, while the groom, ducking his head, makes, a dash for the house. The disgruntled suitor throws as hard 1 rf-AV.-W.I t; v- VERY LATEST PARIS CREATIONS H FALL MILLINERY.

Each of these hats is a genuine Paris production. The coaching hat is made of black fancy straw, with ruches of white malines around edge. For trimming, masses of black velvet ribbon loops on top f hat, which is entirely fiat. The other hat shown above ia of brown straw faced with white chiffon, with bandeau of same. Long castor brown and white gives a be witching effect to this very jaunty shape. The widow's bonnet is on the Marie Antoinette order, made on a buckram frame and covered with French crepe. The heavy crepe veil is draped with a box plait in center of back and laid in folds on cither side. A very fine face veil is used, with border of three narrow rows of crepe. All IV f T J k uh if- :a and as trt'e as possible, and the crowd cheers or derides, according to the suc cess of the shot. A wooden shoe is a formidable missile in the hands of an angry swain, and the groom is justified in having some misgivings as he sees his defeated rival practicing up in an ticipation of the wedding day. Just think, says this searcher into folk lore, how great a relief it would be even in this country to take a r ack at the fel low who had done you out of your best g-irl, without having tne police step in. Over in France the custom has a wider meaning. It signifies that the last iil fwUng is thus thrown away, and it is the depth of disgrace for the man who has thrown the shoe to harbor any fur ther maiice against the young couple. Rochester Union-Advertiser. Greek Meets Greek. The Steel Engraving Lady, says Caro line Ticknor in the Atlantic, sat by the open casement, upon which rested one slender arm. Her drapery sleeve fell back, revealing the alabaster w hiteness of her hand and wrist. Her glossy, abundant hair was smoothly drawn over her ears, and one rose nestled in the coil of her dark locks. Suddenly a heavy step was heard upon the stairs. A slight blush man tled the Steel Engraving Lady's cheek. "Can that be Reginald she said. The door flew open, and on the threshold stood the Uibson girt "Excuse me for dropping in upon you," she said, with a slight nod, toss ing a golf club down upon the sofa nearby. "You see, I've been appointed to write a paper on 'Extinct Types. and X am anxious to scrape acquaint ance with you." The Steel Engraving Lady bowed a trifle stiffly. "Won't you be seated?" she said, with dignity. The Gibson girl dropped into a low chair and crossed one knee over the other; then she proceeded to Inspect the room, whistling meanwhile a snatch from the last comic opera. She wore a short skirt and heavy square-toed shoes, a mannish collar, cravat and vest and a broad-brimmed felt hat tipped jauntily upon one side. She stared quite fixedly at the fair occupant of the apartment, who could with difficulty conceal her evident an noyance. "Dear me! You're just as slender and ethereal as any of your pictures," she remarked speculatively. "You need fresh air and exercise; and see the color of my hands and face beside your own." The Steel Engraving Lady glanced at her vis-a-vis and shrugged lier shoul ders. t When the sun set the Steel Engrav ing Lady might have been seen again V "St!,,,..

Once more she heard a step upon the stair, and one again the color man tled her damask cheek and she mur mured "Reginald." A tall and ardent figure came swiftly toward her. He dropped upon one knee, as it to pay due homage to his fair one, and, raising her white hand to his lips, whispered, "My queen, my lady love." And at this moment the Gibson Girl was seated upon a fence, swinging her heavy boots, while an athletic youth beside ber busied himself with filling a corncob pipe. "I say. Joe," he said, with friendly accent, "just you hop down and stand in front of me to keer the wind off, while I light this pipe." And the night breeze sprang tip and murmured. "Hail the new woman be hold she comes apace! WOMAN, ONCE MAN'S SUPERIOR, NOW, HIS EQUAL." i A New Wrinkle. FOR THE UNSOPHISTICATED. "Any girl who studies: the possibilities of her own complexion to the exclusion of the rights of others makes a big mis take." said the sophisticated girl. "She ought always to study her sweetheart's complexion, too. and try to wear colors that will not screech at his own flesh tints." "I believe I know now why you quit wearing pink and went over to blue," said the i:artless maiden. "You thought blue harmonized with Howard's complexion better than any other color," says the New York Press. "That is the exact reason," admitted the sophisticated girl. "1 hate blue and always did, but I've concluded that it is policy to wear it. Fortunately, I have a complexion that can stand it, so I don't have to sacrifice my er my good looks to diplomacy. Had that been one of the conditions I fear "that di plomacy and Howard's complexion would have gone by the board. Notwithstand ing its becomingness my soul fairly writhed the first evening I put on a blue waist, but when I saw how much better Howard looked when in prox imity to blue draperies I was repaid amply for all my anguish. Howard was too wise to say anything about it, but I am positive he noticed the differ ence in his complexion, and he has been twice as kind since I renounced pink effects. Men are so vain about their complexions. They are as bad as girls. I know two girls who spoiled good matches by persisting in colors unbe coming to their escort. I heard one of the men say not long ago: T thought a lot of Jennie, but she would tog herself out in green all the time, in spite of everything I could say or do. and I couldn't stand that. I look ed like a fright when brought up against a green background. "Did a man realiy say thai?" breathed the artless maiden, anxiously. "Of course he did." said the sophisti cated girl. "You don't think this is a fairy tale, do you? It was his remark that set me to thinking about How ard's complexion. I had noticed all along that pink gave him a sort of thunder-cloud appearance, but I hadn't supposed that men really took those things to heart. When I learned that thev do I reformed on short notice. I don't say, mind you, that Howard would have left me if I had stuck to pink, but I wasn't going to take any chances." Old Styles Revived. There is to be a revival In fashion of one sort of ornament that many of us possess, inherited from our grandmoth ers and laid away for long namely, the old-fashioned cameo brooches. They are not to be used as brooches at pres ent, but as buckles to waistbelts. and if one has several of them they can be united by ribbon and worn around the waist as belts, says the Chicago News. Many of the old cameos are artistic, and well deserve to see the light again. Another old-fashioned ornament has had a use found for it. The large gold brooch frames that our ancestresses wore, frequently around locks of hair tw-isted into strange devices under a glass center, can now have either a ring placed at the top or foot fixed be hind them so that they will stand and can then be used as frames for minia tures or "midget" photographs. Yet another revival coral is again fashionable both in the form of long chains of coral beads and set In va rious ways. Fine pink coral is really not cheap or common, and it 4s cer tainly becoming, especially as ear rings, against a pretty complexion, and as necklaces, large square or oval pieces of the rosy material setting off well a slender white throat. Pink coral Is mixed with all sorts of precious stones, too. thus allowing the intrinsic charm of the coral to be combined with that WW'' a 7Av '"-Ik display of riches that Is too often the real reason for wearing jewelry. Fads and Fancies. FOR THE HURRIED SHOPPER. Some stylish frocks lace down the back with ribbon through large eyelet holes, the holes growing larger and further apart and the ribbons wider as they descend, until finally there is a finish with a bow just above the flare of the skirt. Any number of serge and linen gowns and slirts made all of w hite are worn this year, to say nothing of the linen duck, which is excellent for sep arate skirts. This has been called a duck skirt year. A pretty woman wore the other day a skirt of white serge and blouse of blue batiste of the daintiest design, a rather large black hat with somewhat severe lines, and a stylish black taffeta jacket. Handsome linen gowns of white are made with a cut-work design all over, sometimes in flowers or a conventional ized flower, the cutting embroidered in white and the gown worn over a slip of some delicate color. Some remark ably handsome gowns are made in this way. A dainty white shirt waist has a line of black lace butterflies appliqued up and down the front on each side of the plait. The most beautiful effects are ob tained in gold nowadays. A magnifi cent necklace set with fire opals, has, equally beautiful with the stones, a heavy setting of red gold, which blends admirably with the stones. The color ing of both stones and gold is further brought out by dark-green shadows In tire latter. Lace robes of every design and work manship, w orn over silk gowns, are re markably popular with London women. A new fad to make a chiffon or silk tea gown more effective is to wear over it a lace coat which is made either three-quarters length or full length with a train effect. Primitive colorings used in Russian embroideries are accounted for by the fact that the work is done by peasants who gather the herbs and dye their cottons themselves. This is also prob ably the reason that the colorings do not readily fade, even though they are so extensively used upon towels and other household linens which are con stantly being laundered. Some new shades of pink, running into cherries and cerise, promise to be in a certain degree successful, but it Is only the daring who will don very bright colors just yet, for after all it takes some little time for the eye to get accusto.ned to this extraordinary change. In the way of trimming nowadays one may go back to the old-time Gre cian pattern, or, if it sounds better to say Byzantine, the effect will be about the same. Bands of trimming are put on In this style frequently, and it is used in many ways. It is to be found in jewelry, in effective long pins, and for stocks and belts. Health Rules For Summer. In any valuable advice about the treatment of oneself in summer, the "don'ts" must largely prevail. During the hot months, the gospel of abstin ence should be most strenuously and continuously taught, and accepted, or illness is the result. First, don't entirely shut out the sunlight because it makes the room somewhat warmer or fades the carpet. Life is more than a little extra discon fort or the brightness of the carpets; and. when you shut out the sun, you shut out the great vitalizer and germ destroyer. You need not. of course, have the sun streaming in all day, or even a considerable part of the day, but let it come in freely for an hour or two in the morning. Use as little gas as possible for light ing purposes. It is estimated that one gas jet consumes as much oxygen as six people, and adds to the heat, says Dr. J. Livingston in Success. A lamp makes far less heat, but much more than an electric light, which uses none of the room's oxygen. Luckily, the hours of summer daylight are so long that one usually has all the time he needs to work or read before the dark ness comes, and requires little arti ficial light. Don't neglect your sleeping room. This is a most inportant don't. Be sure that during the hour when the sunlight is being admitted, the bed clothes have been removed and are spread out so that they as well as the bed will become thoroughly aired. Do not sleep in a draught. But although you should not sleep in a draught, the air should circulate freely througi the room. Many people close their windows at night, because they are "afraid of the night air." Night air cannot, in the absence of W r LATEST FALL SHAPE.

There are so many delightful ways of using and serving berries "whtn they are in season one is tempted to have them at every meal, and one may do so without fear that the family will complain of mo notony, especially the children, who seem akin to the birds in love for vine and tree foods. The preferred method of serving them is. of course, au nature!, but theii delicious flavors add so much to many other food substances they may be en joyed in various combinations. A few or these may Jheip the housewife slv the problem of presenting new and tempting dishes to appetites made critical and in different bv midsummer heat. SERVING FRUIT HAW. Serve uncooked ripe fruit tr breakfast when it is possible to get it perfectly ripe and in best condition. Fruit intended to be served in thii way must be as fresh from the vine orree as possible, and not overripe or showing the slightest decay, as in this case it is very liable to cause considerable trouble in the digestive tract from fermentation or decomposition. Children are too frequently made ill in summer by allowing them to eat fruit in an unfit condition. Fruit to be served raw should never be allowed to stand in a warm or damp place after it is gathered; this applies particularly to the soft ber ries. Fruit must be thoroughly cleaned, and such fruits as cherries, currants anl grapes can be washed without detracting fnim their flavor or freshness. Three points must be observed in serv ing the raw fruits; first, it must be ripe; second, free from any indications of de cay or fermentation, and last, but not least, to enhance the enjoyment of this delightful gift of nature it must be servM ice cold. A suggestion of gre-n add a greatlv to the enjovment of the fruit. BERRY DISHES FOR BREAKFAST. One of the nicest ways of serving cooked blackberries for breakfast is to make them into flummery." This can b chilled in individual moulds and served with cream, plain or whipped. A toasted wheat biscuit moistened by pouring over it a little boiling water, covering and stewing until soft, but not broken, then cold rich cream poured over it and a slice of "blackberry mush placed on top makes a very delicious breakfast dish. The biscuit may be split open and tn fruit placed between like a sandwich and whipped cream heaped over the top. Fresh ripe berries of all kinds may be served in the same manner. BLACKBERRY FLt'MMKRT. Cover a pint of ripe berries with a quart of water and cook gently without stirring for ten minutes. Mix four level teaspoon, fuls of cornstarch with a little cold water and stir into the berries and cook until it thickens: sweeten to taste and stir until sugar is dissolved: cook for few min utes and remove rrom tne nre ana turn out to cool.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1901. mm. IE

f 4- ARIS, July 6. Those lagr- gards who put off providing f. themselves with a sufficient supply of cool clothing are now suffering for their omission. Fortunately for myself, I had anticipated that cool breezes would not always toy so enchantingly with the leaves of the chestnuts, and, now that breezes of any kind are scarce and the foliage is a trifle passe, I am very com fortable, thank you. I have the most fetching gown of grayish blue linen to wear when I walk abroad! The skirt is plaited and stitch ed over the hips, while the front is one box plait stitched down each side. With the gown goes a bolero jacket the cutest affair imaginable, with the body plaited and stitched and the sleeves cut open from elbow to wrist im order to show the full blouse sleeves underneath. Small revers at the uper and lower edges of the coat are faced with scarlet embroidery. Cuffs and belt naturally match the revers. With this gown I wear a very pretty blouse of white lace and a toque of white flowers which is caught at one side with a bow of dull white ribbon. You may believe that the effect of combined blouse. frock and millinery is very smart. I have a white costume, admirable In style, yet so inexpensive that I know ts cost is never guessed by those who notice it. The lace which trims the gown "ad; it was part of an all lace dress of a rather dainty flower pattern so much the worse for wear that I meant to throw It away when my maid Lu- cette, who is a thrifty soul, suggested that I cut out the best portions and use tnem with white lawn as the founda tion of a new frock. I saw that the ma terial could be easily adapted to the purpose. AVith careful cutting, we ob tained from the old gown a number of bands of lace of different width. The widest piece we used for skirt Inser tions, while the smaller and better bands formed the bodice and sleeves. The rounded yoke we made of plaited lawn, and about it we arranged a deep pointed collar of plaited lawn, bordered with lace bands. The waist was skill fully constructed of alternate plaitings and rows of lace, and small bows were judiciously used wherever the lace showed signs of wear. The sleeves end ed in points at the elbow, disclosing flowing undersleeves of lawn, caught at the wrists by band cuffs. The skirt, of alternate broad bands of lace and rows of plaiting, flowed out below in a series of flounces, each finished with lace. The richness of that frock's appearance has deceived even the elect, who fancy that I squandered for it a great deal more than I would have dreamed of parting with for a white washable dress. I Another of my cherished robes is an i organdie of delicate green. When I wear it, I am accustomed to wearisome complimentary references to its appro priateness 'for sylvan surroundings. Once at a garden party a misguided Frenchman called me a dryad. As If i dryads wore organdies! To return to the green gown, the waist to a point but little above the girdle is tucked and puffed and crossed Sft ls f with Insertion. A ceinture of green silk clasps in the center with an artificial emerald set In old gold. The skirt is full and untrimmed except for some tuckings and bands of lace set into the front. A flounce of creamy lace falls over the lower part of the robe. The tight fitting elbow sleeves consist of bands of Insertion and organdie. Besides these I have a couple of very simple lightweight blouses for wear with separate skirts. One of the bod ices is of pale blue lawn trimmed with lace dyed to match. The vest of the lawn waist is fashioned of shaped pieces of insertion, the deep sailor col lar over the shoulders being plaited and trimmed about the edge with a band of the insertion and a frill of lace. The sleeves flare from the shoulders to the wrists, where they are broadest above the flamboyant undersleeve of tucked white lawn. A lace sailor tie -knots the collar. The other blouse is fashioned of fancy pongee silk trimmed with black velvet ribbon and tiny black velvet bows. The collar Is composed of bands of lace 'and the vest of white mousseline crossed by a wide band. of lace. The sleeves are I II 1 LACE AND MUSLIN WAIST. SUMMER TAILOR MADE GOWN. shaped to the arm to the elbow and thence spread in trumpet shape, the rounded edge disclosing underneath a lingerie effect of white mousseline. The recent fete at the Petit Trianon gave opportunity for the display of many handsome summer garments. The little operetta and the comedy pre sented afforded society amateurs an op portunity to strut about in some very gorgeous historical costumes, but it was generally conceded that the guests who floated about underneath the trees wore prettier frocks than the women upon the stage. Dress skirts were all quite long, trailing over the grass in undulating folds, and even in wash fabrics the clinging effect with fitted back was striven for. This result was accomplished in the case of very sheer fabrics by means of applications of tucks, shlrrings and plaits. Broad gir dles, shaped, of course, to the figure, gave a most pleasing appearance, espe cially In the case of short waisted wo men, whose modistes now find a way of applying the belt so that It lengthens the bodice in appearance. One could not but be impressed with the brilliant appearance of the Trianon gathering. When a Frenchwoman at tends any open air function dear to her heart for instance, the races, a garden party or fashionable games she is a picture of elegance. Ivory, chamois, white, cream, beige, leather, cafe au lait, pale blue, almond, daffodil and rose are the popular colors for summer. There are no striking combinations. Instead different tints of one shade are combined in the de signing of a costume. Pastel colors are enjoying a revival. White gloves are correct with the fancy outdoor costumes. High heeled uues or patent leather are donned with stockings of silk woven In fancv patterns or covered with hand embroid ery. Gainsborough hats, flat crowned and covered with long, waving plumes, have many admirers, but the very smart wo man is avoiding that type, unless it es pecially becomes her. The long feath ers droop down over the hair to the shoulders in some cases. Handsome buckles make a good ap pearance with the simple materials of which the best of the summer frocks are fashioned. They serve as neck or naments and as clasps for the girdle. It is, therefore, a good thing to pay a fair sum for this jewelry, since It looks as lr its staying qualities were e-nnd As a clasp for the chiffon neck ruffle the jeweled buckle finds one of its pret tiest uses, ana the heart shaped orna ment is particularly smart on the rib bon bow beneath the chin portion of the decoration of some fluffy neck pieces. Plain sleeves seem to have little pros pect of enjoying ai early revival. All sorts of trimmed ones are seen on fash ionable garments, the latest being an adaptation of the Henri IV sleeve. This seems to have been well received. It shows a series of puffings on the arm or forearm, the sleeve being slashed lengthwise instead of across. Puffs as cending from the elbow almost to the shoulder are both comfortable and at tractive. Should I select any one style as par ticularly the skirt for summer stuffs I might say that the one made with box plaits in front and side plaits stitched over the hips Is by all odds the most popular in Paris. Horizontal plaits be tween framing vertical ones are said to be an innovation assured of later popu larity, as they are being pushed by some of the great modistes. Paquin-is particularly partial to this style of garb. Washable neckbands, some of them handsomely embroidered in butterflies and flowers, are worn with linen and cotton gowns. Bands of fine hemstitch ed lawn decorated with embroidery or fine appliques are-a delight after the stiff high collars to which we have been accustomed for many seasons. The tie which, because it most nearly ap proaches Jack Tar's favorite neckwear, is called a sailor garnishes nearly every blouse, remotely suggesting nautical at tire. Jabots representing flowers are the daintiest affairs imaginable. They are made of mousseline edged with pale pink, violet and mauve. A flower jabot may be carried out in one color. For instance, one of bright red muslin may represent poppies and another In pale pink roses. 1 I LACE COSTUME WTTH FIOWT-R !R0. 1,1 Gowns of red linen look well on the gypsylike type of woman.

Officer Flannery, who held the urchin in custody, made no reply. It was not his province to examine the finer shades of ethics. The policeman silently led the boy off to the station house, where, shortly, his frightened mother appear ed with the price of the broken window. After bein? rudely hectored by the own er of the window and sternly lectured by the police sergeant, for it was the third offense, the worst boy in the neighborhood was led out. "If you ever darken these doors again, ynung man," impressively threatened the sergeant, "we shall chuck you into a cell for the nitrht. and when the judge sees you it s little chance you'll have of escaping the reform school." The worst boy blubbered all the way home. He was not such a bad little chap, after all. but misfortunes seemed lonow mm in his attempts to estab lish a record as the champion bey bat ter of the ward. Far from feeling him Flf a delinquent, he regarded his posi tion as that of a martyr. "Boys ain't got no chance!" he blub bered. "I ain't no dead un, I ain't. I liite to have fun sometimes. I do and Tam't my fault if the ball breaks their o!e winders!" The boy's sorrow stricken mother re proved his slang and condemned his sentiments. "You just wait till your father at tends to you. Jimmy Bangs, and I guess you'll be glad to keep still for awhile'" she remarked. "Boo, hoo!" was Jimmy's eloquent re sponse. Jimmy had a spinster aunt, wiser thp.n most of her kind, for when eh beard his protests she declared: "The boy is right!" ffow -,t happened that the aunt. Miss Euphemia. held the women's tennis championship for that town. She was likewise a prize golf player aad could sprint a mile in the heat without shed Jin? her complexion or bringing on an attack of nervous prostration. In his baseball practice Jimmy had found her edvice singularly intelligent, and when he went biking, no matter how many beaux were in attendance, she never ob jected to her young nephew Joining the party. Therefore, when scoring girls'' in general the small boy cynics e the neighborhood were- Inclined to make an indulgent exception of Miss Euphemia, but when they heard that she had taken up the cudgels on behalf of oppressed boys who were dragged into police courts for innocently playing ball upon the public thoroughfares Jim my and his friends pronounced her a "peach" of the finest type. Jimmy's aunt was not one to let con viction sit idly by while hapless urchins suffered. No: she took out her convic tion when she went wheeling ami ten nis playing and golf ball chasing and diligently aired It. She fluttered it be fore the eyes of her hostesses when she went calling, and by and by it became widely known in that region that Miss Euphemia Bangs "thought it was a shame that the bovs pnulH nnt nin- in peace." Miss Euphemia's point of view wouia De lauded or disparaged, accord ing to the spirit or circumstances of her hearers. In households where boys were plentiful parents indorsed her views, while in rntiRdrvntivo vt'ioo families she was sternly criticised. Little by little she agitated the mat ter to the point where harassed parents asked. "What can we rln ohma it way?" Miss Euphemia rose triumphantly to the question. "Give them some place in which they n do as they please." Then she went on to tell how In cer tain cities neighborhoods considered hopelessly hoodlum have been reclaim ed to civilization by the establishment of public playgrounds. These playgrounds, paid for by phil anthropic tersons. havo Hct. m mense advantage in keeping youngsters off the streets. Children of the poor as well as of the moderately well to do have splendid times in the inclosures. There Is no reason why a umber, of families might not co-operate in estab lishing a neighborhood playground for the benefit of their own children, and Miss Euphemia said so. The novelty of the idea commended it self to several parents of active chil dren. Mr. Simpson, the grocer, who suffered most from the misguided activity of small boys, gladly donated to Mis Eu phemia the use of some vacant lots which were at a safe distance from his place of business. Then the community stood aside to see what the lady would do. About a dozen boys and a half dozen little girls at first wished to be included in the playground association. These joined the originator in clearing out the va cant lots. They were fenced in. but as bage man. Then the work of leveling began. In the center of the plot there were no inequalities; so a tent was put up there. The loose stones were care fully piled In one corner, and a load of nice, white sand, begged from a friendly contractor, was deposited In uiic corner, xne ratner or one of the boys sent some lumber, and several of Miss Euphemia's young men friends displayed real mechanical ability in putting up the swings. These amateurs also erected a seesaw, a horizontal bar for gymnastics and a hammock. As the memDersnip or the playground increas ed it was intended to add to its fittings. The boys brought balls and bats, and one corner of the lot was set aside as the ball ground. In another corner Miss Euphemia laid ouf a tannic nnr for the girls, an old tennis set being contriDutea py one of the families In terested in the project. Some one else brought out a croquet set, and the pros pect for fun in the playground looked bright. In the center of the lot a tent was erected. When it was very warm and when it rained, the children would gath er m me tent. The smaller children played In the morning with small paiis and spades, digging In the nice white sand, while the larger boys built forts in the soft, yielding material. Their masterpiece was a model of Santiago, with Mom? Castle and other fortifications. Sections' of lead pipe served the children for cannon, and a cast off boat belonging to one of the boys represented the sunk en Merrimac in the bay. American camps, a. Red Cross station and other interesting feature were included. Of course. It was necessary that disci pline should be maintained in the play ground, and Miss Euphemia according ly organized the members Into a self governine- bodv after tH faahinn George Junior Republic.

JOHJJ DUNCAN S SONS. Agents, N. 1. A men OFDAFFOWLS. From the Penny Pictorial. Northmore first observed her one fine spring morning as he stood at his win dow smoking his customary after breakfast cigarette. She was also at her window, and as she was occupied in arranging some flowers in a vase, he was able to study her unnoticed. Like most men, he had his own ideas as to what constitutes beauty in women, and this girl possessed several traits in common with his ideal. She iiad that decided nut-brown hair which he had always admired, and it rippled upward from her smooth brow in the wavy fashion that he found particularly pleasing. Her features also bore a re fined and cultured look that naturally appealed to a man of strong literary tendencies, and whose taste verged upon the fastidious. She looked extremely girlish in her pretty morning blouse, and her figure was both dainty and graceful. As he watched her she suddenly raised her head, and he received a full, steady loos from a pair of very fine brown eyes. This look was so direct that he was somewhat taken aback, and he found himself staring at her in a manner that was rather1 pronounced, and of which she quickly showed her distaste by turning away in an abrupt manner that made him annoyed with himself. "I see your friend, Mrs. Mason, has let her rooms again. Miss Latimer," he observed to the faded, elderly person, who was removing the breakfast tray. "Yes, sir; her lodger came yesterday while you were out. Quite a young per son she seems." As Morthmore sat down to correct the short magazine story he had concluded the previous evening, he found his thoughts straying across the street to the brown-eyed girl. After the fashion of the story writer, who of ten constructs romances out of very unromantic ma terial, he had quickly given her a his tory. She was probably a clergyman's daughter, a country clergyman's, and she was, no doubt, a governess a daily governess. What a hateful life for such a pretty creature! But there, he must think of her no more. With an effort he banished her face from his brain and concentrated his attention upon his worn. He' had al ready gained a fair share of success as a writer of short stories, and as he was blest with a private income which en abled him to live in a modest but com fortable way until he had got his foot firmly planted on the ladder of fame, his life was a fairly pleasant one. There was one drawback to it. however the drawback experienced by most young fellows who live in rooms its loneli ness. He had no friends in London, and though he had been in the great city twelve months, he had made none, for the one or two editors with whom he had had business interviews could scarcely be regarded in the light of friends. He worked steadily on until the clock struck 1, and then he went out to lunch. He always lunched out. usually at a fresh restaurant each day, for he was studying life, and his hobby led him into many curious and out-of-the-way corners of the mighty city. As he took up his hat e glanced across the way, and he saw that the brown-haired maiden was busily writing. This sur prised him a little, but he came to the conclusion that she must be out of a situation, and she was probably an swering advertisements. He felt that she was more to be pitied than ever. The afternoon being fine, he spent it on a bench, in Hyde Park, smoking and pondering over the novel he was plot ting, until the sun's rays began to lose their power; then he rose briskly and set ofT home. On his way he paused at a corner where a flower seller ottered her attractive wares, and purchased a big punch of daffodils. Having lived in the country for the greater part of his life, he had aeouired a deep love of flowers, and he liked to have them about his room. A few yards further on his attention was suddenly caught by a moving patch of bright yellow that stood out prominently against the somber hues of the street. Some one else had been patronizing the Bower seller. It was a girl in a serge coat and skirt and felt hat trimmed with blue. Her figure touched a chord in his memory that had been played upon before, and her brown hair at once recalled the "girl opposite." Could it be she? He was inclined to think so. and, as he fol lowed in her footsteps, he began to study her attentively, noting all those little details of her toilet which his sex do not usually observe. Keen though his eye was in these matters, he was unable to detect any flaw. There was no ragged edge to her skirts, and her gloves, though worn, were quite free from holes. It was at a turning that he discov ered that his suspicions were correct. He caught a glimpse of her face, and he saw that she was his new neighbor. At the same moment an errand boy with an empty basket on his am rounded the corner full tilt, and. catch ing her bunch of daffodils with his elbow, sent them flying into the gutter. They dropped almost at Northmpre's feet, and as she ran forward with a little cry of dismay he picked them up. She gazed at the mudstained blos soms in such a grievous manner that Northmore would have been a strange young man indeed had he not offered her his own bunch. He did this with a certain amount of hesitation, for he always lacked confidence with a pretty girl, and as she drew back he felt that he had made an error. "Oh. no; I couldn't think of taking them." she said, in a voice that made him feel that he offended her seriously. Then, as if to soften her refusal: "It is very kind of you, but I never accept flowers from a stranger. Thank you, all the same." and with these words she wished him good afternoon and went on her way. For some minutes Northmore stood there utterly disconcerted by the re buff. He felt that it was quite unde served. He had been merely polite, nothing more, and she well, she had treated him badly. Not until he reached his room did his resentment evaporate. It had quite disappeared, however, by the time he had finished his tea. In fact, by that time he began to think that he had judged her too hastily. As she had said, he was a stranger to her, and for all she knew he might possess all the vices with which he endowed the vil lains in his stories. Her action simply showed that she was able to take care of herself, a very desirable accomp lishment for a girl who lived alone. Later that evening, when, his work being done, he sat down with his pipe, he found himself dwelling on the inci dent of the afternoon, and, almost in sensibly, his brain began to weave a story out of it. As the idea gained strength, he became more pleased with it. It would make a fairly goort short story of the ordinary magazine length; and. while the fever was upon him, he sat down to his writing table and be gan it. He wrote as easily as he had ever written in his life, and before the clock sounded midnight it was fin ished. It was a love story of everyday life, in which the "girl opposite" figured as the -heroine, and himself as the hero, and as he read it over, he felt that it was" quite equal to anything he had ever done. There was one point about it, however, in which it differed from the majority of stories. It ended badly. He regretted this, but it could not bo avoided. A couple of days later, the Ms. hav ing come back from the typist's hands, he went out to post it. The postoffice was at the corner of the street, and, being short of stamps, he went inside. There was a girl at the counter, and she had a long envelope in her hand, which she held in such a manner that the address was plainly visible. North more seemed to read it at a glance. It was natural that he should do so, for it was addressed to the magazine to which he was sending his story, and the girl was the "girl opposite." Her occupation was unknown to him no longer. She was a writer, like him self. He was so astonished by this dis covery that he acknowledged her slight bow in a purely mechanical fashion, and, having obtained his stamps, he left the office with a hurried good night, to muse over the surprising dis covery in his room. Who could she be? That was the first question he asked himself, and he took some pains to solve the matter. To some extent Miss Latimer was able to gratify his curiosity. She had ob tained several particulars about her friend's new lodger. She was a Miss Rose Henderson, and her father had been a clergyman somewhere in Dev onshire (Northmore nodded his head here with the air of a true prophet). She was an orphan, and a nicer young lady there couldn't be, so Mrs. Mason had declared. This news did not throw much light upon his neighbor's literary Identity. The name of Rose Henderson was un known to him, but, of course, she might use a pseudonym. During the days that followed North more found his interest in his pretty neighbor increasing by leaps and bounds. All her comings and goings were events of importance to him. He would watch her from behind his win dow curtains, and she interfered with his work to a degree that was down right annoying. One evening as he stood on the watch she came to the window and looked down the street. The postman was coming up, and her eyes followed him with an eagerness that made North more hope he would bring her good news, an encouraging letter say, or better still, one of those pleasant little checks that do such a lot to smooth the rough road on which the writer travels. He had something for her number, at any rate. Northmore saw her leave the window; then, as the man crossed over he wondered what Fate had in store for him. A few minutes later Miss Latimer appeared, bearing a single letter. The address was typewritten, and as he turned it over his heart gave a quick jump, for the flap of the envelope was stamped with the name and address of the "Mayfair Magazine." His fingers trembled as he tore It open, and his heart beat fast as he un folded the sheet of flimsy paper. It ran as follows; "The 'Mayfair Magazine, "Fleet Street, E. C. "April 12, 1899. "Dear Sir "I have read your story, entitled A Bunch of Daffodils," and I should be pleased to see you about the same on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.Kind ly let me know if this will be conveni ent to you. Yours faithfully, "THE EDITOR." Northmore's eyes sparkled with pleasure as he read this note, and as he was on the point of sitting down to re ply to it he suddenly wondered if the letter the "girl opposite" had received contained such pleasant intelligence as his own, and he turned to the window, hoping that his wishes might be veri fied. It was dusk now, and as the gw.s was lighted and the blind eot drawn, he could see plainly into the room. What he saw certainly surprised him. The girl was executing a triumphant dance around the table, waving a sheet of notepaper above her head. Her news, then, was good, and in his joy he felt a strong desire to wave his welcome letter to her, for he was just in that mood when he would have offered his hand to his bitterest enemy. Five minutes before the appointed time on the important day found him standing opposite the offices of the "Mayfair." He felt distinctly nervous now that the critical moment was at hand, and his ring was as timid as that of a Junior poet who wishes to see the editor about his stanzas on spring. The attendant who answered it took up his name, returning in a few minutes to say that the editor would see him at once, and forthwith he led the way to the great man's sanctum. It was a small room in which North more found himself, the most noticea ble piece of furniture being a large writing table by the window, at which was seated a thoughtful-looking, gray haired man of between 50 and 60. He looked up from the manuscript he was reading as his visitor entered, arid at once arose. "I am pleased to see you, Mr. North more," he said, grasping the young man's hand and beaming genially "Take a seat." For the first few minutes he chatted on in a pleasant strain, and his manner was so friendly and frank that North more soon felt that he might have known him many months instead of so many minutes. "And now about this story you sent me?" he said at length, laying his hand on the manuscript as he spoke "A very curious incident has happened in connection with it. May I ask if it is founded on fact to some extent?" Northmore, showing his surprise at the inquiry, said "yes." "I thought so," the elder scribe mur mured, smiling to himself. "The inci dent in the street, where the hero pre sents the heroine with a bunch of daf fodils in place of her own is true, eh'" "Quite true." Northmore answered puzzled by the smile that played upon the editor's benevolent face. "It happened to you personally'" "Yes." "And you are acquainted with your heroine?" "No. I can hardly say that. I had never met her before, but she lives op posite me." The editor nodded. "Yes," he said. "And on the same morning that I received your story I received one from her, written on th very same lines, introducing this inci dent, and bearing the same title." He looked at Northmore then as one man looks at another .when he has said something which he expected to S5.??,111 hi?1- And tnis expectation was fulfilled. His contributor gazed at him in round-eyed amazement, wondering if he had heard arig-ht. "It is the most curious case I have ever met with in ail my experience" the editor went on. "One might call it almost unique. The stories are identical m every respect, the motive is the same and they both end badly; but that I fanes.", can be remedied. I think you ought to know this Miss Henderson, and I have asked her to call upon me tomorrow afternoon at 3. If you could also call, say about half-past, by then I shall have explained matters to her. I want to use the story, and my idea is that you should talk it over together. It should prove very interesting tofc-ou both, and I think you will be able to make it end happily," and his gray eyes twinkled with meaning. Northmore, of course, fell in readily with this proposal, and, after a little further talk, he took his leave, promis ing to call again on the morrow at the time named. He walked down Fleet street oblivious of everything around him, his brain fully occupied by the extraordinary tale the editor had unfolded. Punctual to the minute he appeared at the office the next day, and was at once shown up. Rose Henderson was already there, and there was an excited flush on her cheeks and an expression of wonder in her brown eyes that show ed how the editor's story had astonish ed her. i There was a little embarrassment on both sides when they met, but this the editor quickly dispelled, and, after a little talk, he laid a hand on each of their shoulders in a fatherly kind of way that was irresistible, and suggest ed that they should discuss the story together, with a view to rewriting it. "Let me have it by next week," he said, "and, mind, I want it to end hap pily." "I think it will do. don't you?" he said. It w-as the hour that just precedes the lighting of the gas, when the firelight throws ehadows upon the furniture and one sees pictures in the glowing coals. They were sitting in her cozy room, their chairs drawn to the hearth. They had sat thus for several evenings now, discussing the story, and at last it was finished. "Yes," she answered, "it has ended like all other love stories." "With a kiss?" She did not sneak. i "And as it has ended so well on pa per don't you think that it might end well really?" To this she made no reply, but the firelight showed the deepening of the color in her cheeks and a little, nervous movement of her hands. "Rose, shall it end well, really?" She raised her eyes, and in them he read his answer, and thus it ended, as all love stories should with a kiss. HUMOR OF THE DAY. "My friends, there is a future lif i awaiting all of us!" said the clergyman to the convicts.

A story is told of a certain prominent railway director who is equally re nowned for his ability to make or take a joke. An employe, whose home is in the country, applied to him for a pass to visit his family. "You are in the employ of the com pany?" inquired the gentleman alluded to. i "Yes." "You receive your pay regularly?" "Yes." "WTell, now, supposing you were working for a farmer instead of the company, would you expect your em ployer to take out his horses every Sat urday night and carry you home?" This seemed a poser, but it wasn't. "No," said the man, promptly, "I would not expect that; but if the farm er had his horses out and was going my way, I should call him a very mean fellow if he would not let me ride."
