Eight Got Away in a Life Boat and Were Saved. Norfolk. Va., Feb. 18. Seventeen per sons were drowned and several others dangerously injured in the sinking of the passenger steamer Olive near here. A tornado struck the steamer about o'clock and sent her to the bottom of the Chowan river, off Woodiey's pier, between Mount Pleasant and Oliver's w half. The storm, when it struck the Olive, caused her to go over on h-r beam ends, and when she righted it was only to Fink on account of the water she had taken. A majority of the passengers and crew were below at the time, and had no op portunity to reach the pilot house of the vessel. This point was the only portion left above the water and in it. standing waist deep from the time of the accident until 6 o'clock in the morning. Captain Oi'otKe H. Withy and five. others were saved. THE DEAD. Xo complete list of the dead has been obtained, but it is known that the fol lowing perished Charles Lassiter, hardware salesman. Mrs. Bennett, Franklin, Va., and her yeiung child. An at;ed white woman, unknown. Faster Williams, a negro deck hand. Abraham Cooper, a negro iireman. Parker, a negro fireman. Six negro members of the crew, un known. Three unknown passengers, one white. Those saved were: Captain Withy, Kngineer Conroy, Purser Ball, the col ored stewardess, and two white pas sengers. At 6 o'clock this morning- the river steamer Pettit hove in sight and rescued the almost frozen survivors. The Olive was a small single screw steamer owned by J. A. Prelow of Franklin. Va., and had been plying1 be tween North Carolina and Virginia for several years. She left Franklin last ev-n for Fdenton and had almost reach ed her destination when the tornado struck her. Captain Withy reached Norfolk this afternoon in company with Martha Bar rett, a negro stewardess of the steamer. To the Associated Press correspondent he made the following statement: "We left Franklin onour regular trip to Fden ton yesterday morning at 11 o'cloc k. A heavy southwest wind was blowing, but along the Chowan river we did not mind it very much. 'At S o'clock last night we passed Hol lir's wharf and headed for Fdenton bay The weather became so heavy that I uld rot risk the op.en water, and put the boat about to return up the river for safety. It was just about o'clock when everything- became inky black and a terrific roaring broke out of the night. 1 was aione in the pilot house and most of tliose below had turned in. In a sec ond something si ruck the boat on her port beam and turned her over on her starboard sid". I thought sh would never right herself, and a monster wave dashed over us. It flooded the hold and s;n;.shea everything around us. With the rush of water -into her hold the olive slowly righted, and in less than tw minutes after having struck she was resting on the bottom, with onlv the pilot house aboi-e the river. Two life boats vere swr'pt away and one was le:'i. "into this the engineer. assistant eriKin.--.-r. purser and one white and two fi. hired passencers climbed and put c.rf in hope of catching up with a tow boat (hat could be se,-n ahead of us. I never saw thorn after they FU out side. Tlvir going left the stewardess and one white and two negro passen gers ,,n board with me. We stood in water waist deep until 6 o'clock in the morning when a Norfolk Southern steann r hove in sight, took us off and landed us at Fdenton, where we took the train for Norfolk. The boat sank quickly after being struck that none below had a chance to reach the deek and they must have been drowned in their berths." A dispatch from Suffolk says that the crew of eight who embarked in life boats were tucked up. after rowing f.oir hours by the tug Cazclle, and landed at Tunis. It w as learn d iast night that a wtnte man named Wilder, of Ooleraine. N. C, is also among the drowned, making the eighteenth vic tim. Work will be started tomorrow to recover the dead bodies and if possible raise the steamer. COLDEST OF YEAH. For Continued Cold Today Bpats the Kecord. This has been the coldest day of the year. The minimum temperature for the day was not so low as Tuesday by three degrees but the cold has been more intense and has hung on with mo-e t-na. ity. It was not until afternoon that the mercury in the government thermome ter managed io struggle to a point above zero and by 2 o'c lock the recoid for the day was onlv four above zero. The temperature took a shoot upward Tuesday nielli tend got up to 32 by 11 o'clo.-k. Then the wind chaired from southwest to northwest and the mercury began to go down faster than a stale house elevator, liy S o'clock this morn ing it was down to 7 degrees below zero. The wind this afternoon was blowing li miles an hour from the north. The tor -cast sent out today was: "Fair tonight possibly followed by threatening we-i tri er. Thursday slowly rising tempera ture." The hourly temperatures record ed by the government thermometer to day were as follows: 7 ii'( lock belowdl o'clock....! below R o'c lock...? below V: o'clock. ..1 below 9 o'clock. ..6 be-iowi 1 o'clock. ..1 above id O'clock... below; 2 ociock...4 above WABASH SITUATION. j Officials and Trainmen Are Arranging i Terms of Settlement. St. Lc-ui, Feb. 18. President Joseph Larm-ey j:.. or' the Wabash, after hear ing the j plication 01 a committee of brakenie n and conductors for an in- ri ease or wages, announces that the compsnvy cannot in reason and justice be asked to pay mine on the east side of the Mississippi than competing lines opera ling in the same territory; west of tlie river the Wabash is confronted with the came conditions that govern the policy of the lines in that territory, but the committee yesterday asked that the .-ms of settlement obtained on the west side of the river, namely, 12 per cent advance for passenger and 15 per cent for freight service, be applied to what is known as the middie division of the Wabash, covering the lines operated in Illinois. This Mr. Ramsey declined on the ground that the Wabash could not a fiord to pay more than its competitor in that section. The matter is now in the hands of the committee for further consultation amontr themselves. There will probably be another conference with the Wabash management tomorrow. ALLiESWILL PAY. Venezuela Raises Import Duties Thirty Fer Cent. Exactly Covers the Amount Promised Europe. j Washington, Feb. IS. The following cablegram was received at the state de partment today from Mr. Russell who is in charge of the United States lega tion at Caracas during the absence of Minister Bowen: i "Minister foreign affairs Venezuela has decreed 30 per cent increase duties on all imports as war measure." j Just why this decree was issued by the minister of foreign affairs instead of president Castro in the ordinary course puzzles the officials here. The action recorded in the cablegram, however, is regarded as a keen stroke of political finesse, for practically it amounts to i placing the indemnity which Venezuela is to play the powers wholly upon the shoulder of the foreign merchants who conduct all of Venezuela's import trade, j The increase mentioned 30 per cent is the same figure as the percentage .of i customs dues at Fa Guayra and Puerto 1 Cabello to be assigned to the claimant I nations. GIGANTCI FRAUDS. Practiced on Insurance Com panies in New York. New York. Feb. IS. Assistant District Attorney Krotel said today the insur ance fraud case now under investigation in this city promised to develop Into one of the most startling ever known in the criminal history of the city. "Before the district attorney's office has finished its investigation of the as tounding and extraordinary insurance frauds," he said, "I should not be sur prised if it were proved that the con spirators even went so far as to murder in cold blood to get bodies for the pur pose of collecting policies. We have found that twenty-three substitute bodies we're passed off on the Hancock Insurance company alone and as soon as the plotters are indicted these will be exhumed. The investigation into the re markable plot has hardly begun." The fate of Sarah Weber, who. it is alleged, died from the effects of brutal treatment. whic h it is charged, she re ceived at the hands of the conspirators, .Mr. Krotel said, was but a single in stance. According to stories told by her rela- j tives Sarah Webe r was tortured in or i der to c ompel her to aid in the insur j ance frauds. When the girl left home she had rosy c heeks and was the picture of health. When her family found her she was a shadow of herself. She told her brother that she had been beaten, starved and slashed with knives to force her to help those engaged in the conspiracy. A SECOND KLONDIKE. Hich Strike in Tanana Valley Starts a Stampede. e'lic-agii, Feb. 1s. Federal officers on the Yukon river confirm the story that a gold strike equaling tiiat of the Klondike has been made in Tanana valley, says a dis patch to the Chronicle from Taeoma, Wash. Two hundred miners are stamped ing hithe r freni Nome. Dawson, Kagle and Rampart. Some of them will probably i perish, as the weather throughout the Yu i Icon valley has been most severe. The jslampcders are taking only enough sup I plies to last them on the journey.

DYIiie OF GOLD. A Re-enforcement of the Frigid Ware at Chicago. A Biting Wind Sprang Up in the Night. IS MUCH SUFFERING!. j Head, of the Lakes in Grip of a Blizzard. Last Night Was a Record Break er in Pennsylvania. Chicago, Feb. IS. A "reinforcement" of the cold wave which according to the official forecast "precludes any moderation in temperature" in the im mediate future, gave this city a tem perature today which promised to beat the record for the winter reached early yesterday of 10 degrees below zero. A biting wind that sprang up during the night, increased in keenness and reach ed nearly the velocity of a gale as the day advanced and added materially to the intensity of the cold. There is much suffering among the destitute notwithstanding the best efforts of all charitable organizations although the scarcity of coal is less general than in the previous cold spell. In addition to one death reported yesterday the fol lowing are said to have died directly or indirectly from the effects of the I cold: Fred Burags, died from heart dis ease aggravated by the cold. Charles Fred Lowe, died on the way from a hospital, from exposure. Through trains continue to arrive hours behind schedule while suburban and traction lines operate with more or less irregularity. The highest tem perature, according to the weather bureau records, since the arrival of the cold wave was at 3 o'clock this morn ing when the thermometer stood at 4 degrees above. From that hour the mercury has steadily receded until at 3 today 7 below was recorded. Wrest Superior, Wis., Feb. IS. .The head of the lakes is in the grip of a blizzard today, the wind velocity being 42 miles an hour. The official tempera ture at 7 a. m. was 20 below z-ero. Busi ness is practically suspended. All coal other than .that sold under contract is exhausted. Kansas City, Mo.. Feb. IS. It was seven degrees below zero in Kansas Citv i.his morning, a rise of two de grees in the past 24 hours, with in dications of moderating weather. Dps Moines, la... Feb. 18. Thirteen de grees below zero was recorded here this morning by the weather bureau, whiie i still more severe weather is reported i from the northern portion of the state. 1 Suffering among the poor is acute. A j perfect gale is blowing, which makes outdoor employment dangerous. I Philadelphia, Feb. 18. Reports lrom up the state are to the effect that last night was a record breaker for low tem perature. At Pottsvilie early today the mercury was 14 degrees below zero: at Shamokin, 6 below; Tamaq.ua, 6 below, and at Reading, 10 below. Pittsburg. Pa.. Feb. IS. The mercury I registered 1 degree above zero at the office of the weather bureau today, but; many thermometers about the city were from 2 to 6 degrees lower. It was the e coldest day since February 26. 1900. I St. Louis, Mo., Feb. IS. While the i weather here has moderated, the tern- j perature still hovers around zero, the thermometer at 8 a. m. being 1 below, j It is clear, with prospects of warmer j weather today. Owing to the scarcity of coal at the j Four Courts, which contains the ja.I j and police headqua rfers. criminal courts, etc.. the building was closed today. Not a pound of coal could be found in the engine room, and old floors are being tern up to keep t'ne 250 prisoners in the jaii warm. This fuel will be exhausted by night. The grand jury investigation into investment company methods was suspended and the two branches of the criminal c ourt and the court of criminal correction adjourned for the day. This condition of affairs is the result of neg lige nee on the part of a contracted who failed to deliver coal already contracted j for. Other city institutions are also short of fuel, and an investigation wiil ne held to ascertain who is to blame and to compel fulfillment of contrac ts in the future. j New York, Feb. IS. The snow storm j of yesterday gave way today to clear- i ing skies and cold winds accompanied I by falling temperature. At S a. m. the j weather bureau thermometer stood at 6 degrees above zero, the lowest so far I this winter. J Dispatches from various parts of the e state report temperatures ranging from j zero to 18 degrees below that point, the latter in the Adirondack region. The I snow fall is the heaviest of the win ter. New Haven, Conn., Feb. IS.

Railroad a-d street car traffic was still considerably delayed by the snow and ytrome cold. Heading, Pa.. Feb. IS. Pecause of the v,P.iVr snow storm very little coal was brought down from the mines yesterday -?nd today. Most of the branches lead ing to the breakers were blocked with "'rifts, and it required the best Dart of yecterday and last night to clear them. Si -me of the breakers have been com pelled to stop because of the water freez ing, especially where the finer grades ire separated by its use. All trains will be cut down in size because of the suqden dror in the temperature and this will be cor.tir.ued as long as the cold eather prevails. A Inrge number of the collieries of the Reading companv 'rid others in the Schuylkill region which were idle resumed today. Peoria, 111., Feb. is.

The mercury was 25 degrees below zero here this morning and SO below at On tonagon. Salt Lake, Utah, Feb. 18. Heavy winds which have swept the ranges of Utah, Nevada, Idaho and western Wy oming for the past two days and still continue, are proving a salvation to stock, though disastrous to the rail roads. The gales have torn the deep cover ing of snow from the scanty herbage of the ranges for hundreds of miles and fears of further stock losses are quieted. Rapidly rising temperatures are reported from all oyer the inter mountain region, with the snow disap pearing fast under the warm winds. Ogden, Utah, Feb. IS.

Renewed Its Grip by Procuring Extension of Time. SENATE TAKES ACTION. Treaty Will Be Considered in Executive Session. Only Way Left to Stave Off Vote on Statehood. Washington, Feb. IS. The govern ment has formally accepted the offer of the Panama Canal company to sell to the United States the canal property and all of the company's rights therein for $40,000,000 subject only to the ratifi cation of the pending treaty with the republic of Colombia. The effect of this acceptance will be to extend the life of the option held by the government be yond March 4 next and until the treaty now before the senate has been ratified by both countries in interest. Following is the text of the cablegram sent to the company's president at Paris by Attor ney General Knox: "By direction of the president of the United States I have the honor to say that the offer of the new Panama Ca nal company, as contained in your tele gTam of January 0, and 11, 1902, through Admiral Walker, to sell the property and rights of the company of the Is thmus of Panama and in Paris, to which offer M. Gautron, liquidator of the Uni versal Interoceanic Panama Canal com pany assented, with the approval of the civil tribunal of the ZIne is hereby ac cepted subject to modification of articles 21 and 22 of the concessionary contract by the ratification by both countries and the going into effect of the pending treaty concerning the Panama canal be tween the United States and Colombia now signed and awaiting ratification. The president desires that the proceed ings necessary to the transfer of the ti tle and possession of the property lie forwarded as much as possible to the end that when the pending treaty is ratified and goes into effect nothing will remain to be done but to consummate the transaction by the delivery of pos session and the payment of considera tion." The Republican senators held a cau cus and decided to have the senate con tinue consideration of the Panama canal treaty tomorrow and on future days un til the treaty shall be disposed of. This resuit was reached after an hour and a half's discussion of the legislative situa tion in the senate. The conclusion reached was unanimous. The understanding is that the state hood bill does not lose its advantageous position in the order of business when the Eenate is in legislative session. The Republican supporters of the statehood bill agree not to antagonize a motion for an executive session to consider the canal treaty, nor to make any objection to the prolongation of such session to any extent necessary to secure ratifica tion. The caucus was opened by a state ment by Senator Allison, chairman of the steering committee, giving it as the conclusion of the committee that the Panama canal treaty should be rati fied before adjournment of the present session. He added that the steering committee, being responsible for the order of business, should be followed when it makes a suggestion as to the order in which questions should come before the senate.- Senator Cullom, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, pre sented a motion declaring it to be in the sense of the caucus that the senate should "go into executive session Feb ruary 18, immediately after the con clusion of the morning business, to ratify the Panama canal treaty." In a b'-'ief speech he dwelt on the fact that the option of the United States on the rights and franchises of the Panama canal treaty expires on the 4th day of next March. He said that other inter ests and other nations might desire to control so important an enterprise, so that it was altogether possible, that we would not be able to renew the option at so low a figure as S40.000.000, the price which this country has agreed to pay in case the bargain is consum mated. As only two weeks of the ses sion remain and there was determined, though limited, opposition to the treaty, tt was absolutely necessary that no further time should be lost in getting down to serious work on the treaty. Several friends of the statehood bill in speeches expressed the opinion that the chief purpose of the motion was to side track the statehood bill. Speeches bused on this apprehension were made by Senators Ouay. Elkins. Gallinger and Foraker. They expressed their adher ence to the treaty and said they agreed fully with all that had been said as to the necessity for its early ratification but thought that the proper way to reach a vote was first to take a vote on the statehood bill. "By pursuing that course," said Senator Quay, "you can get th5 only obstacle to consideration oi the treaty out of the way, and get it out of the way by legitimate means." H" called attention to the prolongation of the debate, which, he said, all knew was far beyond the necessities, and urged that a day should be granted for a vote on the statehood pronosition. All supporters of .statehood spoke, in the seme strain, charging determined opposition to the expression of the will of the majority and dissenting from the opinion expressed by Sjenator Allison that the steering committee should de termine the order of business. Thev also united in their opposition to considering Senator Cullom's proposition as a mo tion. Republican caucuses in the senate, thev said, always are in the nature of conferences, and are not necessarily binding except as Republican senators may consider themselves under obliga tion to follow the majority of their partv. They were emphatic on th.s point, some of them going to the extent of declaring that they would not be bound if the ouestion should be pressed to a vote. Replies were made by Sen ators Hoar. Hanna, Lodge, Aldrich ana others, and much stress was laid on th. necessity of securing the ratification of the treaty and on the fact that there was no intention to displace the state hood bill as the unfinished legislative business. Senator Hoar made an argu ment to prove that the executive busi ness of the senate occupies a different place from legislative business and that courtesy toward other nations demands that treaties should have preferential consideration at the hands of the sen- ate. This view was accepted generally by senators and was the view acted ucon. Some of the senators present after ward commented on it as likely to form a new departure and an important prec edent in the senate. SIIIRAS QUITS.

The Cowley county local court fight had the right of way in the house to day. This is the bill which gives Arkan sas City half of the terms of the district court of Cowley county, which Win field, the county seat, 'is vigorously fighting. The bill was reported by thu local judiciary committee without rec ommendation, and as soon as it came up Adams of Butler opened the fight on the bill by moving that it be sent back to the house with the recommendation I that it be not passed.

A VIOLATION OF LAYF. To Agree Not to Bid Against One Another. Also, to Bid Up Prices to Stim ulate Shipment. Chicago. Feb. IS. The demurrer of the packers in the so-called "beef trust" case was overruled by Judge Grosscup in the Lmited States circuit court to day, and a motion granted for a tem porary injunction. "There can be no doubt," said Judge Grosscup, "that th, agreement of the defendants to refrain from bidding against each other in the purchase of cattle is combination in restraint of trade; so also their agreement to bid up prices to stimulate shipments intend ing to cease from bidding when the shipments have arrived. The same re sult follows when we turn to the com bination of defendants to fix prices upon and restrict the ejuantities of meat shipped to their agents or their cus tomers. Such agreements can be noth ing less than restriction upon competi tion and, therefore combination in re straint of trade: and thus viewed, the petition, as an entirety, makes out A, case under the Sherman act. "It may be true that the way of en forcing any decree under this petition is beset with difficulties and that a lit eral enforcement may result In vexa tious interference with defendants' af fairs. But in the inquiry before me I am not at liberty to stop before such considerations. The Sherman act, as in terpreted by the supreme court, is thc3 law of the land and to the law as it stands both court and people must yield obedience. "The demurrer is overruled and tha motion for preliminary injunction granted." The packers did not announce what their next step would be. They have twenty days within which to make up their minds. If they dispute the facts, upon which Judge Grosscup based his decision the matter will go before a master in chancery, and be argued again before Judge Grosscup. The pack ers, however, rriay decide to take tut ap peal in order to hasten the final adjudi cation of the case. It is not tln.nglii likely that they will let the matter c by default and thus matte the injunctloa permanent. The title of the case is the United States vs. Swift Co. et al.. there being seven ciefendant corporations, one co partnership and 23 other persons in cluded in the "et al." MAKING CLEAN SWEEP. Police After Everything Bear ing the Name InTestment." New York. Feb. IS. Central offic e de tectives are scouring the city today in search of "get rich quick" firms. They are making a canvass in all the big of fice buildings on lower Broadway and in Wall street. Wherever they see the word "Investment" on an office door they make inquiries concerning the bus iness of the firm occupying that office. "There are more of these fellows loft.' Detective Captain Langan said today. "I'n going to get them if I ran. It is net easy to locate them. They rent ex pensive offices In big buildings and the; signs on the office doors are always in dicative of the hnsincss going on with in. Most of these fellows we have caught to date were pointed out to 113 through the complaint of some one who has been swindled. "A great majority of the victims in these turf swindles are women who have been speculating without the knowledge of their husbands or fami lies. We have found too that rruite a number of young boys and girls empioy eel in down town offices have been cus tomers of these concerns and we are trying to pet some of these persons to prosecute the 'get rich quic k' men." KILL HOME WRECKERS. Waggener's Bill Would Justify Such Summary Action. Ealie Wagfener has introduced a bill in the house to amend section 4 of the act denning justifiable homicieie. In effect it justifies the killing of a person for viola tion of a home or defamation of character. It amends the section in question to read as follows: "Fourth When committed in the defeieio of the character or reputation of any suc!i person, his wife, child, mother nr any member of his family, from or against, or in the corseqnemeo of any slander or libel, uttered, published or circulated of or con cerning such pers'in. his wife, child, mother er any meml-er of his family." "This is meant Uf head off irresponsible persons from slander and defamation." said Mr. Wagwnt. "Re sponsible persons I do pot engage in that kind of business.

It devel oped that he had tried to get the decree by miblieation summons, hoping they would not hear of the case. Just why he came to Fort Scott from Seneca, whither he returned after his sortie at Salina, does not appear. He said ho came here for a larger field. Kvery day's marl brought him an epistle from Seneca in a feminine hand, ana also one from Iowa. Some rich flowers were delivered to his room upon order from Seneca, occasionally, and the doc tor confided that he was engaged to a lady there. One night trouble came, lie was out to a little social gathering, his polite manners and refined tastes having commended him to the society of some of Fort Scott's best people, i'l'oti arriving at his room that night he was presented with a card which had been left under the door. It read, "Mr?. Piatt Si. Srieneer. Marshall, Mo," The doc tor was perceptibly agitated, but de clared it a jok". Another such card was als' found at the back door. A day or two later the Iowa woman ar rived in town. It had been arranged that she was to loin him here, as oi iginullv planned, and that they were to be' mar ried. She had meantime been furnishing him the money for establishing himself here, and he was owing' her wav up in the hundreds of dollars.

His Iowa affianced remained true to him and nursed him through a several days' drunk, from which he wound up in the hospital.

JACK DOWNING. 'LIZZIE THE JOKER" DEAD Only West Indian Seal in Captivity Remarkable Specimen. Xeiv York, Feb. IS. The only West Indian seal in captivity has just died. Her name was "Lizzie the Joker," and she was worth ?2,0O0. Her home was a tank in the New York aquarium, and when visitors approached to admire her there she would squirt into their faces three or four quarts of water. Lizzie came to New York in 1S96, one of a party of twelve. A ship had gone to the Caribbean sea for the sole pur pose of securing live specimens of West Indian seals, and on this ship, in a spacious tub, Lizzie and her eleven friends journeyed to the metropolis. They met with a hearty welcome. Three went to the New York aqua rium, two to the Philadelphia Zoolog ical Garden, five to the Tennessee exposition (which was then about to open) and two to Washington. All died in a little while but Lizzie and her mate. These two seals, on account of the care with which they were looked after by the aquarium experts, thrived.-They grew big and fat with the passage of years, and they squirted hundreds of quarts of water daily on their visitors. The male died a year ago. Lizzie, who had loved him profoundly, protest ed when the attendants came to move his body from the tank. She showered them with water, circled about the floating corpse with the speed of light ning, showed her teeth, and shrieked. She had to be beaten with a club be fore she would permit the keepers to bear away her dead lord for burial. Afterwards, for the tirst three days of her widowhood, she ate nothing. She was extremely intelligent. She would come to her keeper when he call ed or whistled. She would give her flipper as a dog gives his paw. She would, on being bidden, "speak" for her food, barking in a canine manner for the little tish held up above her head. But her best trick was the water- throwing one. She had a marvelous accuracy of aim, and it was a pleas ure to see her. approaching a bystand er softly, dart, straight into his eye, straight into his ear or mouth, a gallon or two of clean, cold water. She did not drench everybody; the quietly dressed need fear no harm from Lizzie. But yellow, red and green exasperated her. and they who wore those colors were sure of a drenching if they came near the seal. The West Indian seal is rapidly be coming extinct. Hence it will be diffi cult to replace Lizzie. It is doubtful, indeed, if she will ever be replaced. They, therefore, who never saw her will, perhaps, never now be privileged to see a red-haired seal. For Lizzie's coat, when dry. was auburn. The family of peals to which Lizzie belonged is" red-haired,. With but two pairs of incisor teeth in each jaw, and with the first and fifth toes of the hind nipper nailless. SENT BY EXPRESS. Two Children Were Shipped from California to New York. New York, Feb". 18. Tagged as ex press nackages and labeled "Handle with care." j. Elliott Whitbeck, aged 10, and his little brother Charles Henry, 8, have arrived ill New York from Oak land, Cal.. after seeing their mother buried in a California grave. The chil dren made the trip of 3.404 miles un accompanied, and came in care of the Wells-Fargo Kxpress company. The lads left New Y'ork two years ago with their mother, Mrs. Eugenie Whit beck. who had been suffering from pleurisy and decided to visit her sister. Mrs. Hattie McKinley, in Oakland. After Mrs. Whitbeck arrived in Oak land she became worse. She died on January- 30. Mrs. McKinley then telegraphed in the father of the children, G. W. Whitbeck. at 1S7 West Eighty-third street. New York, and after having the funeral serv ices performed nut the children aboard a train for New York. The lads had SjO. paid for everything as they went along, and had only $10 left when they reached New Y'ork. They said the passengers treated them nicely" and took much interest in them. Charley Jast night said: "Say. I could make that trip again, if papa would let me. but he says no." They made the trip across the conti nent in four days, twenty hours and fifty-three minutes. ITS OWN LINE. Canadian Pacific in the Market for Steamships. New York. Feb. IS. Sir William Van Horn, chairman of the board of the Canadian Pacific railway, who arrived here today from Havana, was asked whether it was correct that the Cana dian Pacific was negotiating for the North Atlantic, fleet of the Elder Demp- l ster line. He replied: "I have been away from home some time and I do not know whether or not I the negotiations have been concluded. I do not know just how far the matter i has gone, but we have been negotiating j wiih the line for the purchase of from a dozen to a dozen and a half of their ships for some time. I cannot say just what number we have been figuring on. but it is somewhere between these figures. "This move of ours is in no way an effort to compete with the Morgan com bine for business to divert any traffic from New York.

SPQRTjHGHEWS. Fitzsimmons Not Much Im pressed With Mnnroe. Says He Only Hit Jeffries a Tap at Butte City. DIDN'T J AH CHAMPION. Robert Very Sore at His Broth-er-in-Law, Ball. Has Warm Things to Say His Former Agent. of Cincinnati, Feb. 18. Bob Fitzsimmons and the other members of the Jeffries Fitzsimmons boxing combination have gone to Springfield, Ohio, to give a show. Fitz attended the Walnut Street theater last evening and attracted much atten tion. Billy Delaney and Kid Eagan also took in a show. Jeffries, who has been visiting relatives at Carroll, Ohio, will join the company at Springfield. Fitzsimmons is not very much im pressed with Jack Monroe as a fighter. Speaking of the western miner, Fitz said last night that Munroe did not hit Jeff harder than a tap when they fought that eventful four round bout at Butte City. "Jeff has never been knocked down in his life," said Fitz. "Munroe did not as much as stagger him. Billy Delaney has a letter in his pocket from Duncan McDonald, who refereed the bout, saying that Munroe was exceed ingly fortunate to stay the four rounds. I have no use for that brother-in-law of mine, Clark Ball, and think that cham pion'of his is in good company. The liist chance I get I'll give Ball a poke iru tne nose, tie was out anead of our show and I stood for him until I found that he was giving us the double deal. He had the nerve to hand me his ex pense bill after going down to Butte to take up Munroe .to become his man ager. Mark my word, Munroe will go out the first good punch he gets. He is a counterfeit if ever there was one." Fitz is wearing a ring with a massive ruby setting in it. Yesterday a friend asked him what the ring cost. Fitz re plied $22.WJ0. "You must have asked Tom Sharkey to set the price on it," the friend replied, but Fitz failed to see the joke Fitzsimmons carried with him a full set of surgical instruments. They are to be used in case either he or Jeff meets with an injury while boxing. A well known physician has advised Fitz how to use the instruments and he says they have come in handv more times than once in la paring swollen ears and other minor injuries. M'GOVEBN ARRESTED. His Bond Signed by a .Priest and Is Boon Discharged. Manayunk. Pa., Feb. IS. Sergeant George Duniap and a squad of police raided the training quarters of Terry McOovern, at Kerbaugh's Koad Drivers' hotel Sunday, arrested Terry, his broth er Hughey, Joe Humphreys and Pete Kennedy. "Crockery". Boyle escaped through a window. As usual, Terry attended early mass at St. Bridget's Roman Catholic church, after which he took a five-mile run be fore breakfast, and about- 10:30 he sought the stable to work out with his sparring patrners. "Crockery" Boyle was the first one up, and boxed three rounds, followed by Pete Kennedy. At this juncture Sergeant Duniap made his appearance and was readily admitted by the doorkeeper, who wa told that the crowd was under arrest for violating the blue laws against Sun day work and promoting a prize right. Father McCallen. rector of St. Bridg et's church, was notified as" soon as the party was taken to the police station, and he signed the bail bonds of $:'00 each, releasing the prisoners. Later in the day Magistrate Adam Ackerman held a special sitting of court at his residence and discharged the defend ants for lack of evidence. The decision was greeted with cheers.- Madden's Pair. Salt Lake, Utah, Feb. IS. Billy Mad den, the noted pugilist manager, stop- ped here on his way to New York. Mad den is manager ot Gus Ruhhn and Den ver Ed Martin. He is accompanied by Martin, and is going to New York. "I have both Martin and Ruhlin ready To fight at a moment's notice, and am go ing to New Y'ork in search of big game," Madden said. "I shall see every heavy weight in Gotham when I arrive. I am open for business with any heavy weight in the world for either Martin or Ruhlin, and when we get to New Y'ork some of the men who are filling Winter Eczema OR TETTER S.' of that tor menting disease called Eczema. It slum- j bers through the summer and breaks out in winter.' the head, ieet and hands are the parts most often attacked, though it sometimes appears on other parts of the body, the skin hardens, cracks open and bleeds, while the itching and burning is at times almost unbearable. Scratching only makes it worse, sores and scaba forming where the skin is broken. In this form of Eczema brownish white crusts sometimes form which scale off SKIN CRACKS j in fine particles, 1 leaving the skin raw AND BLEEDS and inflamed. It is especially painful and severe when con fined to the hands, which often become so j badly affected that the sufferer is unable to perform the lightest work, lhis, like all other types of Eczema, is due to acid poisons in the blood and not to local causes. The trouble is more than skin deep, and washes, soaps, powders and salves nor anything else applied to the surface can possibly do more than soothe the burning and itching or relieve tempo rarily the inflammation and pain. It is the acids thrown off by the blood and which are forcing their way through the pores that cause the skin to harden, crack and bleed, and produce the irrita- tion and soreness. S. S. S. neutralizes K-'Jof all irritating sub stances and humor; and does it promptly and effectually. S. S. S. purifies and invigorates the thi: acid blood, and builds up the entire syf tern; then the unsightly eruption and sort heal, the skin becomes smooth and so! and all signs of the Eczema disappear.

It is almost certain that either John F. McLean or David Fultz will coach the Missouri football team next year. McLean was the great Michigan half-back and for the past two years has coached ,Knox college. Until McLean took hold of the team, Knox was an insignificant factor in the western football world. Last year she and Nebraska fought for the honors outside the big nine. Knox was defeat ed by Chicago 3 to 9. and by Nebraska 7 to 0. She defeated Northwestern 15 to 0. When it is considered that McLean had very limited material to work with, his ability as a coach becomes more ap parent. He is excellent both for de veloping new material and far perfecting team work. Knox last year had tn reputation for playing an unusually fast game. Dave Fultz is at present one of the highest salaried baseball men in the country. Fultz was a grea.t half-bek at Brown and. was named by Walter Camp as the half-back of the All-Amer ican team at one time. jniitz has coached Missouri before, and it Is claim ed here that he did better work than any man the Tigers ever had. Last year Fultz coached the Lafayette team, and made it a Dower in the eastern foot ball world. Students and faculty will be perfectly satisfied with either Mo- j Lean or Fiiltz. Dr. Hetherington has considered no candidates this year ex cept those who coached winning teams. Trouble at Frisco Track. San Francisco, Feb. 18. The racing at Ingles'de was marred by an accident, which resulted in the death of two horses and the injury of a jockey. The unfortunate affair occurred in the fifth race. Canderos was crowd.ed into the rail after a auarter of a miie and felt, throwing Jockey Waterbury heavily. Elarn fell over Canderos and was in stantly killed. Canderos sustained a broken leg and it was found necessary to destroy him. Waterbury was bruised and shaken up, but there is rjO evidence of a fracture. Bozeman, who rode Elk arn, escaped injury. Favorites did not fare well durine the afternoon, not one passing the wire in front. In the lat rac Galanthus, a 10 to 1 shot, led ail the way. The weather was fine and the tracli fast. Kacing at New Orleans. New Orleans, Feb. IS. Sheriff Bell, St. Tammany and O'Hagen were the winning favorites. Dr. Guernsey was run up after his race to $500 and sold to T. Landry, who subsequently resold him to Lamanay Bros., the original owners, at the purse price. Weather clear and cold; track slow and lumpy. A Valuable Golt. Lexington. Ky Feb. IS The 2-year-old half-brother to Colonel Bill, owned by W. L. Simmons, has been named Brother Bill. This colt is by Imp. Wag ner Mattie T., by Imp. Billet, and was recently nriced to New York parties at $10,000. Durham Sells Ella Mortimer. Lexington. Ky.. Feb. 18. Hardy Dur ham has sold his 3-year-old chestnut fil ly Eila Mortimer, by St.Florian- "Recess, and the brown 3-year-old filly by Re quitalRiddle to William Harris, of St. Louis. Price private. They- will be raced in the west this year. Baseball Notes. Catcher ''Broadway" Alex Smith is playing- the races in New Orleans, in company with Delehanty. Cnmiskey's aggregation will leave for Mobile on March 17, the day that Commy always celebrates. Cincinnati players will wear blue coats during the season. Red stockings and white belts wil be a feature of the uni form. Patsy Donovan has faith in the playing prospects of his latest find. Otto Williams, who will occupy short field for the Car dinals. Buck Ewing may break into the game again as manager. Barney Dreyfus may apiwMnt the old time catcher to handle the Phillies. The situation at Baltimore is that the rtovkhrlders have the experience, while Ned H anion holds the franchise. St. Paul Dispatch. Tufts college baseball candidates are re ceiving some valuable instruction from Bred Tenney. the crack first baseman ot the Boston Nationals. Presidents Hart and Comiskey of the two Chicago clubs have agreed to play a series of fifteen games in the spring for the championship of the windy city. Manager Jce Kelley has signed a young man named Harry WofMl of the Maryland university- as a substitute outfielder for the Cincinnati Rds. Wood is said to be a clever catcher, too. Roger Bresnahan has not quite made up his mind whether be will pitch, catch, cover iirst. play the field or tend bar. On1 thing certain is that Roger can play any of the positions. Charley Barred of the Brooklyn team has been offered the. management of th St. Joseph team and may- accent, unless Ned Hanlon whacks up that two weeks' salary he is holding out on the Duke. "Shorty" Fuller, who gained fame as shortstop for the St. Ixuis and New York teams, will get back into harness next sea son on the Infield of the Manhattans, one of the leading Sunday teams of Cincin nati. The Pittsburg club has signed a utility outtielder named Weaver of New Castle, lnd. Last season Weaver played with Ashenbach's Charlotte, N. C team until it gave up the ghost, and finished with Newark, in the eastern league. Harry Arndt will play with the Colum bus team this year. Harry looked pretty good last season during the short while he was with the patched up Baitimores. An other year in minor company should ripen him for the American league. The American league baseball field in New Y'ork was discovered in eight differ ent parts of Manhattan island last week. And thev told us a while aso that there wasn't a spot left on the island big enough for the game of two-old-cat. Billy Hallman, who is playing in "Kid naped in New York." savs that his wooden shoe specialty in the play has kept him in falrlv good shape durine the winter and that he will have no trouble getting down to weight when he joins the Phillies. All the talk about Bill Lange returning to the game must result in talk, for it is said that the tall fielder has spread out so wide that he is nearly as big as old Pop Milliken, who wore the mask and pad for the Athletics ten years or more ago. Boston is said to have finally severed relations with Billy Lush. His stick work has been very light, although Billy is a good man in every other department of the game. He will probably try to grab the managerial reins of some minor league team. The latest is that Toledo is to be chosen as the American association vietim to. lie offered up on the altar of Chicago. So long as Brother Mickey keeps his hands off St. Paul no one in these parts will care which town he decides to victimize. St. Paid Dispatch. A while ago Ned Hanlon was giving the others the laugh when he told them he had signed Barry Schmidt, tne star twirler cf the Oakland team. Now Harry has changed his mind, and as Oakland do.s not belong to a protected league, he has decided to remain there another yeah Very Low Rates. To points in Montana, Idaho.

WHO DIED FIRST I The Question A'am Arises in Connec- i tion With Chinese Award. i Spw York. Feb. 18. Claims accrestat in-r $S4.6S'J. growinff out of the massacre i near Pekin of the Atwater family while j the Boxer rebellion was at its height I have just been settled by the Chinese i rovrnrnent through the state depart 1 n.ent, fays the Herald. i The heirs who are expected to benefit by the award are Miss Sadie G. Atwater of Brooklyn, a sister of the Rev. Ernest Atvater. murdered missionary, and the par nts of Mrs. Krnest Atwater. an aged oouple living at Oberlin. O. Mrs. Sadie Atwater. who is the widow of the Rev. Frsdorick Atwater. a brother of Ernest Atwater, will probably come in for haif of the total amount awarded. Notification of the award came through the third assistant secretary of state. Mr. Pierce, to P. J. Csrlon. a law yer of Brooklyn. The .tttorney says that the Rev. Frederick Atwater after the massacre of his brother and his family, presented the claims to the state department, but that while they were pending he died and the claims fell to his widow, Mrs. Sadie G. Atwater. "Ernest Atwater with his wife and four children," said Mr. Carlon. "ser engajred in missionary labors in the vicinity of Pekin when the Boxer uprising- occurred.

Guatemala and Salvador Cer tain to Lock Horns. San Francisco. Feb. IS. Passeng-er; on the steamer Peru, which has arrived here from Central American ports, be lieve that war between Guatemala and Salvador is inevitable. They report that prominent residents of Guatemala City are not backward in circulating the statement that President Cabrera will not live to serve out his term. They say the inference is that General Toledo will, if he desires, be placed at the head of the government. In the latter part cf January, accord ing to M. Fhremister, a merchant, and Herman A. iXdsref a locomotive engi neer, both from Guatemala City, a bat tle was fought by the government troops against rebels at Jutiapa. about ter leagues from the Salvador frontier. Business in Guatemala City is begin ning to wane on account of the excited condition of the country, and at the time of the Peru's departure from San Jose de Guatemala J1.h m native currency was worth only $100 in gold. A passenger on the Peru, leaving San Jose de Guatemala, was General Pablo Ruiz, a Colombian, who had been ex pelled from Guatemala by order ot President Cabrera. SAVED COUNTESS. Laborer Out of Work Rescued Woman and She Proposed Marriage. Vienna, Feb. IS. A pretty romance is reported from Tamesvar, Hungary, where a coupie is cow spending the honeymoon after a strangely brought about wedding. While Thomas Weber, a poor Hungarian laborer, was tramp ing along- the shores of Lake Geneva, I in Switzerland, bitterly bemoaning hid j fate of poverty and lack of work, he l saw a carriage drawn by a pair of splen I did horses. The horses took fright and ran away. Going too near the shore the t arriage was overturned Into the lakff. j 1 The coachman escaped the bath, but a finely dressed woman was thrown into i the water. I She hardly had time to scream before Weber was at the shore line, with his coat stripped off. He plunged in. cramped the woman and brou-tht her safely to land. Then the coachman, who had stood by in terror, helped the rescuer to right the carriage. The horses had been caught and the woman rode off to hr home, after making Weber prom ise to call on her. When Weber kept his Promise he found that he had rescued th1 Countess Anna Bieoeck. a widow in affluent cir- eumstances, who had a villa near the lake. She thanked Weber for his bravery and said she could not repay him even with her great fortune. Weber told ber his circumstances, but would not pa-cept any money for his deed. The result of the meeting was' that the countess fell in love with the poor la borer, and in a fw weeks she proposed marriage, and he accepted. What was the pcor man to do?

"He knew ail about the difficulties put in my way by the British postal author ities and quite understood why his mes sage to President Roosevelt went by cable.

A physician puts the query: Have you never noticed in any large restaurant at lunch or dinner time the large number of hearty, vigorous old men at the ta bles; men whose ages run from 60 to S) years: many of them baid and ail pei haps gray, but none of them feeble or senile.' Perhaps the spectacle is so common as to have escaped your observation or comment, but nevertheless it is an ob ject lesson, which means something'. If you will notice what these hearty ld fellows are eating- you will observe that they are not munching bran crack ers nor gingerly picking their way through a menu card of new fancied health foods; on the contrary they s-em to prefer a juicy roast of beet, a pro perly turr.M loin of mutton, and even the deadly broiled lobster is not alto gether ignored. The point of all this is that a vigorous old age depends upon good digestion and plenty of wholesome food and not upon dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran crackers. There is a certain class of food cranks who seem to beiieve that meat, coffee, and many other good things are rank poisons, but these cadaverous, sickly looking individuals are a walking con- damnation of their own theories. The matter in a nutshell is that if the stomach secretes the natural digestive i iuics in sufha lent quantity any whole some food will be promptly digested; if other source. the stomach docs not do so, and certain The same furniture, old-fashioned but foods cause distress one or two of Stu- eood. .and even the same style cf cur art's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal J tains and carpets, distinguish the hous! will remove ail difficulty because they now that were purchased in the original i supply just what every weak Etomach I outfitting.

Washing-ton Post: A measure is pending' before the Illi nois legislature, with strong prospects of enactment, which is intended to give every community home tule on the. sa loon question. It is entitled "a bill for an act to provide for the creation of ami-saloon territory," and is correctly described as of a very comprehensive nature. Under its provisions anti-saloon territory may be created out of any countv, town, city, village, ward, or precinct upon the initiative of the voters. Throughout the state last Sun day clergymen in large numbers dis coursed upon, this proposition, approv ing of its object and urging- its adop tion. The Post has for many years advo cated local option. It is the only sys tem under which genuine prohibition is practicable, and it is strictly harmon ious with the home rule policy. If the residents of a county, town, city, vil lage, ward, or precinct are opposed to prohibition. liquor will be sold there, no matter what the law says on the sub ject. For proof of this one lias only to point to the cities and large vil lages in Maine, New Hampshire. Ver mont, and Kansas. If the people of tite vicinage do not want a saloon, the law ought not to force it upon them. The moral rights of a minority do not include the right to run tippling houses against the will of the majority. Ma jority rule is a good American doctrine. As the Chicago News puts it, "even those who object to prohibitive legisla tion affecting the state generally can not deny that the. majority of the peo rite of a given community or neighbor hood should decide this matter for t hemselves." Hurry-Up Weddings. Post-TisTjateh: Senator Smith of St. Louis is the author of a bill just introduced in the I legislature which seeks to provide that I notaries public throughout the state be given the right to perform marriage ceremonies. Already it is one of the easiest things on earth to get married. "As easy as lying." as Hamlet said. All that a young couple have to do is to step around the corner and ring the bell of a minister or a justice of the peace. In a minute it is al! over sometimes In less than a minute. A St. Louis justice of the peace- actually made that record recently. Notwithstanding- the multiplicity of preachers, circuit judges, justices of the peace and others empowered by law to tie the nuptial knot. Senator Smith now proposes to bestow this right on the 10.000 notaries public in Missouri, of whom .1. fieri are women, that marriage may be facilitated all the more. Thinking men of Missouri will object to women notaries being empowered to asrist Hymen, heeause they might take advantage of their position to "ring in" objectionable questions on the man in the case: or, what would be worse, hav ing the woman notary on her side, the bride-elect might refuse to love, honor and obey and all that. If we are to go into the marriage busi ness wholesale, why not devise a nickel-in-the-siot arrangement, whereby coup les m haste to wed could secure a mar- j riage certificate in the briefest time pos- j sible; A mckel-in-tne-slot marriage ma chine on every corner would be a promoter of the elopement fad. reat Nothing Ke-mains but the Decision. Cleveland Plaindealer. It was with a sigh of relief readers of yesterday's papers read the announce- j mer.t that the long drawn out piroeeed- ings before the anthracite strike com- mission had closed and that the coa--mlssioners would now deliberate in se crot over the voluminous testimony atel the verbose arguments and crab a or I a reacii a conclusion that will do ju.-ti- e to ail concerned. It is a dirlicult task that lies before them. The testimony was in large meas- ure so conflicting and confusing, yet so positive, that it is not easy for the most experienced in sifting evidence to determine how much of it was fact anil -how much misunderstanding or preju- dice. Where the facts produced are in disputable the difficulty of reaching a just decision is not lessened, for the complication is greater than can be straightened out to the satisfaction of the commissioners themselves. It is cer tain the decision will not satisfy either side, although both have agreed to abide by it. Those who have followed the course of the investigation and taken note of the ;uestiona and comments of the president o the commission will be prepared for a deeision which, while conceding something to either side, will carry with it an implied if not expressed censure of some ftatures of the course of both. Whether the outcome of the investi gation will repay in its effect on the fu ture the heavy cost of the strike to opi crators. miners and the public remains to be seen. If it does not prevent, for some a ars at least, similar disastrous quarrels there will lie deep disappoint ment to tire public, who. as the experi ence of toe present winter shows, are the real sufferers in the end, as they have to pay the cost of the warfare to the last cent. Where Would We Fight Chicago Journal: A war between Germany and the I'nitd States is a virtual impossibility. We might i.s well talk tibout a war between a lion and a whale. Where would we fight? The Germans could not come over here and we certainly would send no troops or fleets to Eu rope. Ocean warfare is a matter of fuel largely, and that would prevent the German fleet from coming to this side of the Atlantic and would equally prevent our going over there. There might possibly be an accidental battle or two between the hostile fleets in remote waters, but after that we could simply make faces at each other. Noth ing would be more futile. Kailways and the Public. Baltimore News: Sane railway men must have lifted their eyebrows in polite amazement when the read in the public press of the action of Southern railway officials in ordering back, for a distance of twenty-rive miles, the "Palm Limited" so as to take Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt on at Pmeland. S. C, and convey them to May River to pay a social call. While railway officials stared, it, is certain that a section of the travi ling public had difficulty in keep ing down its indignation. Such on act of imr-ud"ncf is probably without, parallel in the histoi y of Ani -ricc.n railroading. Several scores of passer, gevs were supposedly on this train. They paid for their passage on this "limited" with the understanding that it should make a serious attempt to follow its schedules and enable its patrons to keep business appointments and make train connections. It was a through train not scheduled to stop at the station to which the Vanderbilts went to board it. It had no business stripping there. Its contract v.-iih its e t forbade it. Acting in ac cordance with their duty, the engineer and I he conductor failed to stop, and the train bowled on to Hardeville. twenty-five miles beyond. But here the wonderful management of the Southern sent the "limited" back U get the VanderbUts. Every passenger on the train might be put to incon venience, or even hardship, by a wait of two hours, the railway might break its contracts, but the Vanderbilts, so the railway management judged, must make this call at this time. Everything but the call must be ignored. The Rail way company owes the public an au thoritative explanation of an act which, whoever was responsible for it, was a gross and unparalleled outrage upon the public's rights. JAYHAWKES JOTS.

From the Atchison Globe. 1 How a man's women folks begrudge, him the fancy lining in his overcoat! The most agreeable person cannot in terest her hostess after her welcome is worn out. An Atchison young man says he must be sick; he never feels like getting up in the morning. The first trouble that comes to a mar ried woman is when her husband won ders why he married. When Charley Conlon decided to make j his marriage a surprise, he got past ail the reporters except the full back. They are telling of an Atchison wid ower who is rinding an early and sweet consolation in sorrow in sending valen tines. Here is the truth about a silk lining: It is an inexcusable extravagance when in a man's coat, and a necessity when in a woman's dress skirt. Almost every family has in it the tradition that some ancestor has been defrauded of his inheritance, and that this money will some day be available. When guests look a long time at a bill i f fare, it is not in an endeavor to make out the French words, but to make the till figure within a certain limit. Bow- did you first discover your lather's faults? Did your mother tell you How did you first learn of your mother's weaknesses? Was it through the complaining of your father? The men, in counting up reason for thankfulness, have a new one: that not one of them is married to Blanche Boise, the Topeka woman who is doing so much to prejudice people against old maids. Who is the talkative one in your fam ily? In a North Atchison family it is generally recognized that "father" tells all he knows, and even the children of ten are warned not to trust him with their secrets. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. A ring on the linger is worth two on j the telephone. I It's an ill wind that turns an umbrella inside out. Some men work their way up in the i world by working other people. It doesn't take much argument to con vince a girl that she is pretty. It isn't every hero who has sense enough to stay up on his pedestal. Lots of people would prefer beer to champagne if the prices were equal. The fellow who likes to hear himself talk has less charity for others. She "I like you; you're so jolly." He "Well, I guess, you're a jollier." Many a fellow has gone hungry with a mouthful of gold fillings in his teeth. The man who gives up his seat in a j crowded car isn't always so polite at home. We don't have to wait for spring to encounter people who give us that tired feeling'. Solomon had a thousand wives, but the Bible doesn't mention a single mother-in-law. Nell "Repentance generally comes too late." Belle "You mean after we are found out?" "Aw, she's jest a glance-pusher," is the way in which a tough citizen was overheat il describing a girl with flirty eyes. Sillicus "I like to hear him talk. His sentences are so well rounded." Cynicus "Yes; so well rounded that they have no point." "It is well to put something by for a I rainy day," said the Wise Guy, "espec ially if you are thinking of getting mar ried." "In that case," remarked the Sim ple Mug, "it isn't the rainy day you should think of so much as squalls." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Every man craves flattery from his superiors; he gets it from his inferiors. It takes a woman to have her hand squeezed ar.d protest fhe thinks she is ranting on her gloves. The man who takes no pride in his ancestors is hot likely to have his de scendants take any pride in him. Men learn more about the fashions from strange women in a wind storm than in the bosom of their own family. It is the man who leaves his wife every morning in a wrapper and curl papers that can't believe his eyes when he meets her in the street.

BAUD WACOM ROLLS. Fitzpatriek Reapportionment BUi Forced Through Senate. For an hour and a half after the com mittee of the whole was ready to make its report to the senate on the Fitzpat riek congressional apportionment bill a fiilibustering expedition led by Senators Allen, Branine, Morrow, Vincent and Ward held up the measure before a vote was taken on the adoption of the report. It was a delay which a small minority can make but the majority in favor of the bill wore them out. There was a clear majority of about 20 in fa vor of Fitzpatricks bill and the band wagon drove remorselessly over the fall en. At 1:30 o'clock the report of the com mittee was adopted and the senate pro ceeded immediately to the final passage of the bill. The ayes were: Buschow, Caldwell, Carpenter, Cbaney. Conrad, Crum, Cubbison, Findlay, Fitzpatriek, Oabriel, Henley. King, Leidy, McKnight, Miller, Morehouse, Pestana, Peterson, Smith, Sponable, Stewart, Tanp, White, Wright 24. The noes were: Allen, Branine, Fulton, Morrow and Ward 3. The absentees were: Codding, Fulling ton, Householder. Hurrell, Kcnnedy.Mc Millan, Nottzger, Porter, Simons, Vin cent and Wultekuhler. This bill divides the counties of the state into eight congressional districts as follows: First Shawnee, Brown, Doniphan, .Tackson, Atchison, Jefferson and Leav enworth. Second Wyandotte, Johnson, Doug las. Miami, Franklin, Anderson, Linn, Allen and Bourbon. Third Crawford, Cherokee, Neosho, Labette, Wilson, Montgomery, Elk, Chautauqua. Fourth Pottawatomie, Wabaunsee, Osage, Lyon, Coffey, Woodson, Green wood, Butler, Chase, Marion and Mor ris. Fifth Nemaha. Marshall, Washing ton. Republic, Cloud, Clay, Riley, Ot tawa, Salire, Dickinson and Gearv. Sixth Jewell, Mitchell, Lincoln, Ells worth, Russell, Osborne, Smith, Phil lips. Rooks, Ellis, Trego, Graham, Nor ton, Decatur, Sheridan, Gove, Thomas, Rawlins, Cheyenne, Sherman, Wallace and Logan. Seventh Cowley, MePherson, Harvey, Sedgwick. Sumner. Harper and King man. Eighth Reno, Rice, Barton, Stafford, Pratt, Barber,, Comanche, Edwards, Pawnee, Rush, Ness .Hodgman. Ford, Hamilton, Greelev, Wichita, Seward, Finney, Scott, Lane, Stanton, Kiowa, Clark. Meade, Gray. Haskell, Stevens, Grant, Kearny and Morton. This is the bandwagon bill and a safe majority rode in the wagon. When the bill gets over to the house of represen tatives it may, and in all probability will not be, the bandwagon measure there and will be subjected to revision. There i.s no probability that the ordi nary manner of handling- bills wiil an swer for the apportionment act. In all likelihood, as Senator Smith predicted this mornins, the bill will have to be put into a conference committee and hammered out by it so that it will somew here nearlv comport with the wishes of a majority. Allen of Doniphan and Branine of Har vey voted antl kicked in unison at every movement of the band wagon today. Al len doesn't, want Shawnee in the Firs,t district, while he dofs want Nemaha taken out. Branine doesn't want Harvey countv taken away from its present association in the "old" Seventh and put into the new Seventh, which is'to have Sedgwick. Har per and Stunner in it also. There is every political -reason why Allen find Branine should tight the bill, and they did what was expected. Senator Morrow, who wrote another reapportionate bill which was rejected in favor ot Fitzpatriek' s. stood by Allen. Noftzger didn't want his county. Harper, to be put into the new Seventh, and he also voted with Alien. Senator F. Diiraont Smith is a promis ing candidate for the congressional nomi nation in the Seventh district to succeed Long. He didn't want to take part in the consideration of the bill and kept very closely to his resolve not fo. Only once did he rise to sneak. He said he didn't agree with all the measures of the bid and that if it were for its final passage he, might not vote for it. But to expe dite its consideration, because a reap portionate bill was really wanted, he voted for its provisions. The new substitute bills w-ere introduced but rejected. One was by Wulkekuhier 5ncl left Shawnee county out of the Pi.-st dis trict. The other was by Householder, the fusion member from Cherokee, and put Elk and Chautauqua in the Seventh in stead of the Third district. IT IS -NOT VALID Therefore Governor Bailey Will Veto Abilene Sewer Bill. Governor Bailey's first veto will be with reference to the special bill giving Abilene the power to construct a sewer outside its corporate limits to connect with an outlet. When it was sent down to Governor Bailey for his signature., the governor sent it to Attorney General Coleman with an incjuiry as to its va lidity. Mr. Coleman sent it back this afternoon to the governor with an opin ion that the bill is void for the reason that the constitution expressly prohibits the granting of special corporate powers by the lesislature. No Oil Investigation. The house this afternoon killed Sena tor Findlay's resolution to investigate the methods of the Standard Oil com pany, so the Standard Oil is safe from this" session of the legislature. LOCAL MENTION. The council will meet this evening. Prior to the council meeting there will be a meeting of the license committee. Dr. Eva Harding is the bondsman for Blanche Boies, the smasher.

A biil has been introduced in the sen ate by Senator Ward and in the house by Representative IZJA which, is calcu lated to hinder the operations of the harvester trust, of which Senator Ward secured a legislative investigation. The principal feature of the bill is that it prohibits the creation of exclusive agencies and the making of contracts under which agents are forbidden to handle more than one make of ma chinery. Senator Ward said in regard to the bill: "This law is badly needed in order to prevent the encroachments of trusts manufacturing all sorts of farm ma chinery and to protect the agricultur ists of the state from being bled by sucn combinations. The bill was not pre pared by the harvester investigation committee, but is intended to circum vent some of the abuses that have beer, discovered during the investigation now in progress." The bill says: Section 1. Any person, persons, com pany or corporation doing business in the state of Kansas whereby an agencv or sale contract exists between said person, persons, company or corpora tion and other parties, who shall act as agent or agents for said person, per sons, company or corporation for the sale or manufacture of machinery, gods or other property, shall not have printed or written in said contract any clause, section or paragraph whereby it shall be construed to be an exclusive contract for the sale or manufacture of any kind of machinery, goods or other property only, or to prohibit the sale or manufacture of any machinery, goods or other property of a like kind and na ture. Sec. 2. If any contract is made with such an exclusive clause, section or paragraph therein the same shall be null and void. INDOOR CIRCUS SEATS. They Will Be Put On Sale Friday Morning.

Dissolved the Injunction. Chicago, Feb. 18. Judge Tuley today dissolved the injunction which had been granted by Judge Gibbons to Nicholas R. Engels restraining the board of election commissioners and Chief Clerk Isaac N. Powell from pro ducing the ballots cast for congress man in the Sixth district last fall, be fore Notary Frederick S. McClory. Judge Tuley declares that it is clearly beyond the right of a court of equity to interfere in an elffction contest of this character by issuing an injunction and asserts it is an interference by the judicial in the political department of the government. Glenn "Verdict Approved. Manila. Feb. 18. General Davis has ap proved the finding of the court martial in the case of Major Edwin F. Glenn of the Fifth infantry, who was acquitted Jan uary 20 of the charge of unlawfully kill ing prisoners of war with the qualification that he disannroves of the orders issued bv Major Glenn. The .general says he recognizes the principle that guides may be impressed and that treacherous guides may be executed, but he adds that Major Glenn's orders showed a reckless disregard for human life which the general con demns and reprobates. Indicted for Perjury. Des Moines. Ia., Feb. 18. Mrs. James Gallagher, who recently was acquitted of the charge of killing her husband at Iowa City, has been indicted for alleged perjury. The indictment is the result of tertimony given before the grand jury yertcrriay by Holaday. the farm hand, row serving a life sentence for com plicity. Holaday alleged intimacy and gave testimony directly opposite to that testified by the woman regarding the disposition of the revolver with which Gallagher was killed. GABRILOWiTSCH HERE. Famous Young Pianist Arrives In Topeka. Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the Russian pianist who will be at the Auditorium tonight, arrived in Topeka at 2 o'clock this afternoon on the Santa Fe three hours late and was driven at once to the Throop where apartments were re served for him. OSSIP GABRILOWITSCH. Gabrilowitsch is a young man, not yet 25 years of age. and this sort of weather just suits him for besides be ing young he is a Russian. He speaks good English for a foreigner. Gabrilowitsch plays every other day during the concert season. When he was in this country two years ago he played only as far west as St. Louis and as far north as Minneapolis and St. Paul. The coming season he is to play in the important cities of the rfSrth and south and close his season on the Pacific coast, and he looks forward with pleasure to the really arduous task of traveling and playing. "I play only every other day," he said, "be cause it is not only a physical but a mental impossibility to play every day and still keep up the standard an artist sets for himself. It could be done for a short time, but it would be only a short time, as the public, which is very critical, would find that the work was falling oft'. The public expects, every time a player appears before them, that on that particular night he is to do his very best. If he tails, the puonc soon knows it. So it is much better to be in tine condition and although the mood cannot always be the same, yet the pianist will please and will play well if he is in good trim and in good humor." From Topeka he goes to Cincinnati where he plays Friday. MINOR BASEBALL LEAGUE. Governing Board in Session in New York. New York, Feb. 18. A meeting of tit national board of arbitration, the gov erning body of minor league baseball, was begun here today. President F. T. Powers presided and there were pres ent V. H. Sexton, of Rock Island, president of the Western league; T. H. Murnane, of Boston, president of the. New England league; James H. O'Rourke, of Bridgeport: W. H. Lucas, of Spokane, president of the Pacific Northwest league: J. W. McKavanaugh, of Little Rock, representing the South ern learrue. and J. N. Farrell, president of the New York state league, secretary of the board. The board will map out a course to be pursued in the conference between th American. National and minor league organizations relative to the drawing up of a new national agreement. There is said to be no doubt but the National association will demand an eaual repire- i sentation upon the proposed new na j tional board with the American and Na i tional leagues, t'nder the old regime i the old national board of the National league settled all disputes between clubs and players erf the minor leagues and the latter had no representatives on the board. TOBACCO US ESS ARE SLOW. Not as Bright in Many Things as Those Who Abstain from Weed. Like all elements which have an effect upon the nerves, tobacco differs widely in its action upon different individuals and no sweeping statements ran be made. T'pon most constitutions its ac tion is deleterious. It is always inju rious before the period of comrilete de velopment and cannot be used before the age of 25 without harm. X)r. Seaver. di rector of the physical laboratory at Y"ale. tabulated the record of the stu dents entering that university during nine years, when ail the young men were examined and measured. The smokers averaged fifteen months older than the nonsmokers. They were also shorter in stature. Nicotine interferes with growth and its effect in that re gard is very measurable. At Yale during the four years' course the nonusers of tobacco, although taller when they enter, gain 24 per cent, more in height and 26.7 per cent, more in girth of chest than do the habitual users. Dr. Hitchcock of Amherst col lege found even greater differences. The difference in the lung capacity is very striking in the two classes and has been noticed by all observers. It shows the effect of tobacco on the respiration, nic ctine being a potent depresser. As re gards the effect of nicotine on the men tal processes it is more difficult to in terpret the meaning of statistics. Out of the highest scholarship men at Yale only 5 per cent, use tobacco, while of the men who do not get appointments GO per cent, use it. It is not necessary to interpret this as meaning that mental decrepitude follows the use of tobacco by young men, for there are other fac tors to be considered, but it is certainly net conducive to the best work. World's Work. CAPTAIN CLARK MODEST. Commander of the Oregon Omitted to Mention His Own Ship's Services. Captain Clark, who brought the bat tleship Oreson around the Ho; n so valiantly in time to participate in the naval battle at Santiago, is a very mod est man, and although he waited long for his well earned admiral's position it came to him at last. The house naval committee heard from Mr. Dayton the other day an ac. count of his first meeting with Captain Clark. "We had gone over to Philadelphia to in spect the League Island yard," said Mr. Dayton, "and several naval officers escorted us about the place. Admira, Casey took Mr. Foss in tow- and there were general introductions to the sev eral omefrs, but I did not catch the names. A captain, broad-shouldered and cheerful looking, sidled up to me as we started on foot to look over the premises. We talked about the yards till that topic of conversation became ex hausted and finally fell to talking about the battle of Santiago. The captain spoke in praiseworthy terms of the dif ferent captains and crrmmanders in the fleet that whipped the Spaniards. But wby do you not make some mention of Cark, that officer who brought the Oregon around the Horn and requested the navy department not to tie up with orders, but to leave him to look out for himself, which he, prom ised to do. even if he met the entire Spanish fleet? He is one of my pet heroes.' rj '141 "The captain politely evaded my in quiry and not long afterward he began to talk about the guns that worked the destruction of the Spanish fleet. He commented upon the execution of the Iowa, told of the powerful marksman ship on the Brooklyn, and so on. Pardon me,' I interposed again, 'but 'why do you omit mention of those mighty thirteen-inch guns of the Ore gon? What you have said about the others is all well enough, but I have a chip on my shoulder when you slight the Oregon. Don't you know that Cap tain Clark hung close to the enemy in that conflict?' 'You must have misunderstood my name when I was introduced.' replied the captain, turning full upon me. I am compelled to tell you that I am Captain Clark.' 'Then I have no apologies to make.' was my reply, 'but can earnestly say that I really want to get better ac quainted with you.' Chicago Chronicle. mi THEATER TRUST. Stair IlaTlin to Fight the Other Octopus. Toledo, O., Feb. 18. Announcement is made here today that Frank Burt and Stair and Havlin have completed a cir cuit of high-price theaters which wiil compete with the syndicate theaters in eighteen of the principal cities of th country. They are promised the co operation of Harrison Grey Fiske. James H. Hackett and the Henrietta Grossman management.

WAflTED h VICTIM French Court EndeaTored to Transfer Vanderbilt Sentence. Paris, Feb. 18. The hearing on the appeal of W. K. Vanderbilt, who was sentenced in default last year to two days' imprisonment on the charge of i driving; an automobile at excessive speed in the Champs Elysees was re l sumed today. A chaffeur named Cou- bac. who ran the machine at the time, j testified that Mr. Vanderbilt was not in I the automobile: that its only occupants were the Duke of Marlborough and him i self. An affidavit of the Duke of Marl i borough to the same effect taken before the French consul in London was also introduced. An amusing scene occurred when Coubac finished his testimony. The jus tice said that in view of the evidence it seemed proper that the chaffeur should be brought before the court as the ac cused, instead of as a witness and he asked if Coubac if he wished to change places with Mr. Vanderbilt so that the two days' sentence standing against Mr. Vanderbilt could be transferred to him. Coubac protested energetically, declaring he had come before the court as a w itness and not as an accused per son But the judge insisted upon the transfer, whereupon counsel for Van derbilt also interposed a strong protest. "I insist," he said, "that there be a definite decision whether my client is guilty or not guilty. 1 am opposed to any transfer of the sentence." The. judge then announced the ad- j journment of the case until March Is, saying that Coubac would be cited then, not as a witness, but as the accused. HALE TRIES ONCE MORE. Fails tu Secure Consideration of State Printer Bill. Representative Hale made another at tempt to get Senator Kennedy's con current state printer resolution before the house for consideration this morn ing. He tried it yesterday, but the reso lution was referred to the judiciary eommittee. Today Mr. Hale called attention to a rule of the house providing that a con current resolution shall lie over for one day and then may be called up at any time. Hi After he had discussed the matter for a few minutes he was headed off by the calling up of the Cowley county court fight, which had been set for 11 o'clock today, but he gave notice that he should renew the fight at the first opportunity.

BACK TOjGQUilGIL The SIcFarland Inrestlgatioa Is Not Held. Chairman (jriley Fayored lioing on With Proceedings. MORGAN WAS WRATH Y. Jailer Makes a Bitter Speech Before Committee. Chief DonoTan Defends the To lice Department. While probing the McFarland charges Tuesday night, the only thing tapped by the police committee was a strong flow of oratory, some of which spurted out with great violence. Dr. McFarland, the manufacturer of all the trouble, was ab sent, and the net result of the evening's work is embodied in the following for mal report which will be made to the city council this evening: "To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Topeka: "Your committee appointed to investi gate the charges preferred against the police department by the Itev. J. T. Mc Farland from the pulpit of the First Methodist church on the ltth day of January, 1M3. respectfully submit the following report: "The committee met at the office of the chief of police at the police sta tion on Tuesday evening, February IT, 1 SOS. at S oYlock. p. m. Those present were Mayor Parker. Joseph Grtiey, "W. F. Weber, Citorge Neil and J. W. Blos som. Absent, Samuel Howe and W. S. Bergundthal. Chairman Oriley submit ted a written communication from iDr. J. T. McFarland to the effect that he was dissatisfied with the committee and feared that he "would not receive fair treatment by said committee, and that he declined for that reason to appear before the committee as reouested. "Thereupon. Dr. McFariand not ap pearing it was upon motion decided to refer said charges back to the council u ith the recommendation that the eoun 1 il entertain the same and request Dr. M, Fariand to appear before the council and produce any and all evidence he mav have in support of said charges. "JOSEPH G1ULEY. "Chairman of Committee." Chairman diiey was personally in fa vor of going ahead and hearing any evi dence which the policemen had to re but the McFarland charges. "I believe that the police department should be vindicated by this committee, aud be vindicated tonight." Councilman Neil said": "I don't see that we have any charge? before us. We have nothing to investigate. I have a good opinion of th? city councilman, and think that they will d--a! justly with this case if it is submitted to them." Councilman Weber said: "I am sorry we can't hear this case tonight. But as Dr. McFarland has such a poor opinion of this committee. I suppose that we would better do nothing". Whatever we might Uo would not satisfy the peo ple." Councilman Kiossnm said: "We have hail no evidence against the policemen as yet. an-1 I shall believe the policemen innocent until proven guilty. I think we should rtport that we tin J evidence in -support of the charges, an-1 refer the whole matter to the council." Three of the four committeemen who were present were therefore in favor of referring the matter to the council. Mayer Parker and Police Judge Magaw aiso advocated this plan, and Mr. Magaw drew up the above published re port for Chairman Griley to sign. MORGAN'S HOT WORDS. Jailer Morsan was the maddest man who attended the "investigation." Mor gan is the man who worried so much about the M Fariand charges that he had paralysis of the brain. He had come to the investigation last night loaded for bear, but when he got well warmed up he commenced to shoot ele phant charges instead, and told several things which he was not supposed to tell in the presence of reporters. "Dr. McFarland can not prove his charges." he declared. "I will say fur ther that I believe that Dr. McFariand knoyvs he can net prove them. I be lieve that he made them knowing then, to be false. I will go even further than that. I will say that I ran prove that improper methods were employed to se cure some of the evidence which Dr McFarland exoects to use aeainst us. I.et me tell you something. When Mrs. Nation cvas here in iaii. she offered to pay a disreputable woman who was con fined here with her. rive dollars if that woman would state to a reporter that she had imp-roper relations yvith a cer tain officer while in this prison. This woman was pesuaded to accept this offer to maliciously incriminate one of the policemen, and she made the state ment. There sits the reporter to whom she mide her charges. He did not prim them because he believed them to be false. I can prove what I say by this A CORKER But Not Much of a Pastor. There was an old clergyman in cen tral Xew York state some years ago who was a very powerful speaker, but whose private life was by no means ex emplary. Some of the more outspoken of his tiarishionrrs were in the habit of remonstrating with him regularly about this, and his reply invariably was. "Don't do as I do, do as I tell you to do." It is so w ith a great many physicians. There are hundreds cf medical men who fully understand the r-lly of drinking coffee an-1 tea. who tell their patient.-" not to drink either, yet who use one or the other thcmse!vs. Pftit sometimes it knocks even the doctor out aud he has to quit Oid King Coffee. A physician of Wasioja. Minn., says: "I was a liberal user of ct ffee from my youth and ruy hea'th broke down while at c-ohese in iw. at vcars of age, but I continued to use coffee un,i ivjs. although I was nervous and suffer- d constantly from a condition known as diabetes insipidus, a condition that is v. ell known to be due to nei veusness. My weight was he low par, end r.o diet or tonic medicines were suificient to restore my vitality and strength. "In 1SSS I became suspicious of coffee and I broke off the habit by taking up Fostum. Since that time my nerves have become strong and well and my weight has increased about 30 sounds. Weil boiled it is a delicious, healthful j drink, heavy with strength and muscl" 1 making cualities." Name furnished by Pcstum Co.. Rattle Creek. Mich.

That's the easv way to shake off coffee and get well and keep well. reporter and by several other witnesses to whom this woman told the story of how Mrs. Nation offered her five dollars, Mrs. Nation never paid her but $'J of the amount which she promised to pay her." This was one of the things which Morgan should not have told. But he was mad and didn't care, and said that it would all come out at the investiga tion, anyway-. It is stated that Morgan is the victim cf practical jokers, and that the re porter who is alleged to have been made the confidant of the woman Mrs. Na tion bought for will admit that it was all a joke, if called upon to testify. Jailer Morgan went on to say: "Trie uay alter tnese cruirges against tne po lice force were made jmblic in the newspapers by Dr. McFarland. a cer tain member of the city council wife is violently hostile to this police depart ment called us up over the telephone and said: 'This is a great outfit you have down there at the police station, isn't it? You ought to ail be fired. I have cut that piece out of the newspa pers, and I expect to use it at the spring election with good effect.' That, gertlemen, is the kind of men whom Dr. McFarland wants to sit in judg ment on this case: a man who has al ready prejudged us. and found us guilty: a man whom any court in The land would disqualify from sitting on a jury. Dr. Mi Fariand says that he will not submit to an investigation be fore this committee bees-use his wit nesses would not be protected. I say that if we submit to an investigation before the city council, we members of the police force yvill not be protected. We are the ones who are on trial, not Dr. McFarland or his witnesses, ana we are entitled to protection." This was Morgan's second break. He j was not supposed to say anything 'about the councilman who had it in i for the committee. The plan was to use that tonight and to give the coun i oilman's name, if necessary, in an ef fort to keep the investigation out of the city council. PARKER'S WAY' OCT. I It is generally known that Mayor Parker does not approve of the plan which the police department has adopt ed for investigating the charges. Mayor Parker wanted the policemen to bring a suit against McFarland for criminal libel. Several other policemen and officers present at the meeting last night thought the sanie thing. Among others. Jailor Morgan thought so. He said: "The place where these charges should be heard is before this "committee. Of course the best plan would be in court, and that is wh -re the case would be now if we had been able to get a complaint." "Thai's my ticket:" exclaimed Mayor Parker. "The only place to try this is in 1 court." declared Sergeant Morris Jenk- 1 ins. "T have always said that we would never get McFariand to face us without i bringing suit against him. I don't care if it do-es take a longer time, the mem- bers of the force will all be here in town, even if we are not on the police force."

Rut I'd sue him tomorrow if I had my way." j Police Judge Magaw. while be recom-j. ided that the investigation be placed I in the hands of the council, thinks that a mistake w as made in paying any fur- ther attention to McFarland's charges than to deny them by affidavits, as was done. He says that half the people whl b. lieve one way and half the other, re- gardless, ot wnat lae investigation show 5 Sergeant Jake Owens wanted the com mittee to take a strong hnl and vindi cate the members anil orfieers of the for.-e, w ithout waiting for the council.

The policemen object to Dr. McFar- j j land s scheme tc file an entirely new st j of charges against the department. They say that Dr. McFarland has already! I made his public charges, and should be j i compelled to stand on them or withdraw I j them. So far. Dr. McFarland has not j withdrawn all the charges which he 1 made from his pulpit on January 11. lt j certainly looks as though the police j ha.ve ground for complaint, i The new charges which Dr. McFar land has filed are still secret. They are in a sealed envelope, in the r.-ossession of the citv elerk. and under Dr.. Mc Farland's instructions wiil not be open ed until presented to the council this evening. I It is know n that the charges are sub- I stantialiy the same as those made from the puipit. but there are some changes, I and the wording is entirely different. 1 This is what the poiiee object to. They i i say that McFarlar.d made a lot of insin- uations in his puipit address which ought to be taken into consideration, and that he also used certain language s in his address which was violent and i i improper. It is supposed that ail such j things have been eliminated trom bis formal charges to be presented to the council tonieht. The police may say: "If McFarland wants to foe new charges ngainst us. !"t him first vith diaw ..ill the charges which he made in his pulpit address. Those are the i charges under w hich we are suffering. I and these are the charges which we i would use as the basis for a criminal I proceeding." Generals Move Up. I Washington. Feb. 18.

It seems that Mr. Crocker is under surveillance of Steve Cave, ser-genat-at-arms. Mr. Crocker went home to spend Sunday. He lives out in Chase county, and Strong City is his railroad station. When it was time for him to come back, he discovered that Mr. J. C. Farrington. a big rancher and brother-in-law of the Lantry brothers, was go- i ing h is way. i. e.. Topeka They met at the Strong City- depot Monday evening, was troubled in spirit. He at once wired eve Cave that the delay was unavoid- able, and he would never do it again. Then he came to Topeka as fast as pos- I sible. and reported as directed. Mean- while Cave had been "seen" by Farricg ton. and was loaded. He told Mr. Crocker that his offense was almost un pardonable, and that it was his painful duty to put him under arrest. Crocker protested that, circumstances. over which he had no control, etc. etc.. but succeeded only in securing a temporary i parole pending a decision as to his punishment.

STOCKS The majority of stocks were lower on the opening quotations.

St. Paul and Sugar also gained a fraction. Amongst tho declines Smelting and I". S. Leather preferred reached a point. The changes otherwise were small fractions. Dealings were very quiet and irregular. A number of the leaders, including St. Paul. New York Central. Anaconda. Amal gamated Copper and Tennessee Coal ran off below thtir opening prices. Meanwhile Wabash preferred. Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit. Smelting and Republic Steel rose sharply. Chicago Great Western preferred K declined 1 point. Grass Twine 3 and Lackawanna 6 points. Large orders for Amalgamated Copper came into the mar ket at the low level and the price ad vanced to 74. w-ith some effect all around. Prices drifted sluggishly in an aimless "wav, except in special stocks. The mar ket hardened when gold exports tomor row were seen to be unlikely, but easel off again with a ioss of I1, points in New York Central. Northwestern preferred sold at a decline of IS points from the preceding sale last month and Canadian Southern fell 1V2 points. Among trie spe cialties American Telephone advanced IK points. Sloss-Sheffit Id Steel preferred t points, Consolidated Gas 2 points and Pressed Ste-l Car and Fort Worth and Denver City stamped a point. Ponds were steady at noon. Most of the limited selling was in Amal gamated Copper, which again touched 71, the highest. Fluctuations in other specu lative favorites were trivial and traders paid little attention to the market. General Electric gained 1 points, while Colorado Foe and St. Louis Southwestern lost 1 and New Jersey Central 4 points. The market sagged from Inanimation and business was at the lowest ebb. Chem ical was marked up l'i points and Minne apolis. St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie lost 2'-, points.

Prlrrs paid in Topeka this week, baaed on .Boston quotations: ORE EN SALT CUIiED FLAT 634e No. 1 TALLOW bV.a HAVE GIVEN UP. Hughes Faction No Longpr Try ing to Sidetrack Bergundthal. "When Hughes and his friends were struggling desperately to buy, bulldoze or browbeat V. S. Bergundthal out of the race for the Republican nomination for mayor, they flaunted it about that Mr. Bei'Eundlhal had not the slightest chance of success, and would only ac complish his political suicide by staying' in the fight. And it really looked as though they might be stating facts. The smoke of the first scrimmage has cleared away. Mr. Bergundthal. is still in the race. The talk about "political suicide" is subsiding. Hughes is begin ning to think that perhaps it will be necessary ti cease looking: upon Ber gTjndthal's candidacy as a joke. An in spection of the Hughes battalions, vet erans of the ca(mpaign of .1901, shows large jagged holes in the ranks, torn by law and order men and women who re fuse to reenlist under the banner of municipal extravagance, and ring rule. Honest, law-lovins citizens who object to having a collar placed around their necks by a clique of Hughes' appointees who want to lie restored to power, are in rebellion. They will not submit to the dictation of the Hughes ring, arid they expect to express their disapproval of packed committees and attempted political assassination. By the time the Republican primaries take "place it would not be surprising to find that the real law and order people of Topeka are on the side of Mr. Bergundthal who is a consistent law and order man. There are hundreds of so-called "lib eral" Republicans in Topeka who will vote for Bergundthal because they have confidence in him as a man, and believe that his experience in municipal affairs fits him for the responsible duties of mayor. One of Air. Bergundthal's, great est elements of strength is his splendid standing among the business men of the city, it is ;retty safe to say that he will get the votes of ten business men where Hughes gets one. Had he been endorsed by the law and order people of Topeka. it would have been utterly useless to nominate anyone against him. Hut the Hughes partisans chose the committee to indorse the can didate. Ber"und1hal is as strong a compro mise candidate as could have been se lected. He represents the best there is, morally and intellectually, among the successful business men of Topeka. He is not a "temperance crank," but he favors the enforcement of the laws which as mayor it would be his duty to enforce. He would Dander to no fac tion, but would be fair to all. He would have the brains and energy to direct wisely the financial policy of the city. H is experience as a leading membt r of the city council ecutps him with a su perior knowledge of municipal affairs. In every way V. S. Bergundthal is ad mirably fitted to be mayor of Topeka. There is a strong sentiment in Topeka to dro; the "town row" and get together in municipal affairs for the best inter ests of the city; to cut loose from fac tional politics, and partisan politics, and elect men to city oliices because the are good business men. Just how strong this spirit of compromise is can not be determined until the result of the elec tion is known. The victory of Bergund thal means the triumph of coin;iroiiii so and the beginning of a new era of pros perky for Tor.eka, "when wars shall be no mure." A FUIEND OF THE DOG. New Evidence in Franklin County Murder. Ottawa. Kan.. Feb. 18. The man who murdered F-lza Jackson, the Cen troiolis township farmer, last Wednes day night was a friend of the family. This is made practically certain by the actions of the dog. Mrs. Jackson says she heard no disturbance of any kind from the animal, although the dog was in the house almost immediately after the shots were fired. Both Mrs. Jack son and the neighbors say. that the dog was usually very noisy when strange, parties came about the place, day or night." A night prowler usually caused a disturbance from the dog that aroused not only the Jackson house but the neighbors as well.

IT ISJOLLED. There Will lie No Constitutional Convention. Balie Waggener's Sesolution Meets a Violent End. VOTE IS ONE SIDED. Stood 32 for to S2 Against the Proposition. Lengthy Speeches by Leaders Characterize the Contest. The constitutional convention proposi tion was defeated in the house by a vote of 82 to 32. Eleven members were recorded as "absent or not voting." In this number were two of the Shawnee county members, Betts and Will iams. After Balie Waggener, the author of the proposition had opened the debate with a speech advocating the adoption of his resolution, Representative Jenks made a carefully prepared speech against it. Mr. Jenks led the fight in opposition to the proposition. He said in concluding his address: "It is easily within the reach of pos sibilities that such a convention would take away the right of trial by jury; would take away the homestead ex emptions; would take away the restric tions upon taxation; would take away the restrictions on banks and banking; would take away restrictions on corpor ations, railroads, and the prohibitory amendment. "In such a convention would be men who at their best would be moved by a desire to impress the constitution with their handiwork; each would want to add at least one amendment to stamp his family name" forever upon the bul wark of the commonwealth. "And I fear that before they adjourn ed each member would have his amend ment; just as each senator has his clerk, and each member of the house has his employe on the legislative pay roll. And this suggests another objection to a constitutional convention. It would be expensive. If there is much to do, it will take time to do it. I believe that $100,000 would not cover the expense and so, believing that our constitution is fairly suited to the condition and wants of our peopie; that it is ripe in wisdom; embodies large experience; that there is no demand for sudden and radical changes; believing that it would be ex pensive and fearing the baneful possi bilities of such a convention, I oppose the resolution. "I believe that the ordinary method of submitting the amendments is rapid enough and insures greater delibera tion and more common consent. I be lieve it better that we should prove ail things, hold fast that which is good." Nearly tdl the speeches were against the proposition. Adams of Sedgwick and Kieth of Montgomery spoke for it. Galle of McPherson, Robbins of Hamilton, Wilson and Griffin of Jef ferson, and Barnd of Ness, all spoke against it. This was the first speech made by Mr. Barnd on the floor of the house, but he showed that he could make a strong argument. He said that when he came to Topeka five weeks ago he was in favor of a constitutional con vention, but he is now against it be cause he believes it would be used to deprive the western part of the state of much of its representation in the lower hoose. When the roll was called it showed that the following voted for the pio position: Messrs. Adams of Sedgwick, Ballard, Bowman. Broadbent. Brown of La bette. Burke. Campbell of Bourbon, Fisher, Focke, Harris, Husey. Jenson, Keith, Kirtland, Langrield. Laughlin, Lynn, Mclntire, McLaughlin, Miller, O'Donnell. Perkins of Leavenworth, Pollock.

The idea seems to be growing that there will be no tax bill passed by this session of the legislature, notwithstand ing the fact that the tax committee has got a bill pretty well in shape. The bill will probably be introduced in both houses within a day or two, or as soon as the sub-committee can get it in shape for introduction. It will very likely be referred at once to the com mittee of the whole and either made a special order or given the right of way at the head of general orders. As soon as it comes up in the house Representative King of Ottawa proposes to make a motion to strike out its en acting clause and will precipitate at once the tight to kill the bill before time is taken up to consider it by sections. "My people are very much opposed to any taxation legislation except along the line of taxation of franchises which this bill does not touch," said Mr. King today. "I am virtually instructed against this bill or any other radical tax measure. I would never have been elected if I hadn't been against it. I opposed it in every speech I made in the campaign and mv people expect me to fight it. The salient features of the Indiana law relative to the taxation of franchises have been cut out of this bill, and as soon as it comes before the house I shall move to have the enacting clause stricken out." Of course thre are other members in the house besides Mr. King. Balie Waggener is preparing to re- new his fight for the exemption of notes and mortgages from taxation when the tax bill comes up in the house committee of the whole. The. Atchison member will make a last supreme effort on the floor of the house to carry his idea. In the meantime Cyrus Leland is organizing against the proposed ex emption. "The people are beginning to look at this thing in the right light," declared Mr. Waggener today, "and the mem bers are hearing' from their constitu ents. I propose to make a fight on the floor of the house along the same lines that I made in the tax committee. There are now 168 million dollars' worth of mortgages in Kansas and less than two per cent pay taxes. The peo ple seem to be in favor of this sort of a thing and I don't believe they want the fiction that mortgages shall be tax ed to remain longer on the statute books. Meanwhile the friends of the bill in its present shape are hustling for votes for its passage and there is even talk that the Republican caucus may be call ed together to force the passage of the bill. HATCHING OF TROUT. Extensive Appliances for Raising Young Fish, at the Aquarium. Down at the Aquarium hundreds of rainbow and brown trout are daily forc ing their way out of tiny white eggs, which are smaller than an ordinary sized pea.' Unlike a chicken, a fish breaks through the shell by first wrig gling its tail, and after this end is free the head appears. The fish in the eggs at the aquarium hatchery are wriggling their tails to some purpose, for those that have been incubated are strong and healthy, and cuickly coming to the point where they will be able to eat. At the present time their mouths and stomachs are undeveloped, and accord ingly their appearance is not altogether fishlike. The process of incubation is interest ing, and as the eggs have no enemies to contend with in this artificial stata, success invariably attends the hatching The hatching troughs are placed around one of the big nools on the main floor of the aiiuarium, and contain sixteen wire-bottomed trays in which the eggs are deposited. The water passes ud through the bottom of the first tray, which it fills, then flows over and comes up through the second, and in the same manner through the other trays. Thus an even circulation of water is obtained in all the troughs. The period of incubation varies with different fish, and is regulated by the temperature of the water. In the case of brown and rainbow trout from forty to forty-five days are required to hatch out the eggs, when the temperature is 50 degrees. If the water is colder the period ranges from sixty to sixty-five days. When the fish makes its appearance through the egg all one can see is a sac out of which protrude a head and a tail. The new fish, being much smaller than the circumference of the egg out of which it was hatched, drops through the wire bottom of the tray and is car ried to an open trough. Here among many others it develops into a perfect fish, gradually absorbing the sac, which provides it with nourishment and at the same time forms its stomach. This process of absorption takes about 25 days, and when it is over the fish is ready to begin eating, for the strength ening of the mouth has kept pace with the other stages of development. Bits of liver chopped very fine are then fed to the young trout three or four times a day. In addition to the trout hatchery, which has a capacity of 2,000,000 eggs, there are 12 glass jars in which shad, perch, and whiteflsh eggs are to be placed as soon as they are received. In three of these jars eggs of the sculpin are now being incubated. The spawn of the sculpin is held together in one mass and not separated like that of the trout. Spawn of this description is always hatched in jars. Two rubber tubes are attached to each jar. one of which dis charges water into the jar at the bot tom. Wrhen the fish are hatched they naturally rise to the ton of the water, where they reach the mouth of the sec ond tube, and are siphoned off to a receptacle. The method of transporting eggs without damage to them is now almost an exact science. The trout eggs being hatched at the Aquarium came from Wytheville, Va. They were packed in wire-bottomed trays, they covered with cheese cloth and a layer of damp moss. The trays were placed one on top of the other in a box built especially for that purpose, the top tray being covered with cracked ice. The melting ice trickles through the various layers of moss, and provides an even temperature for all the eggs. The eggs are never shipped until they are "eyed" that is, when incuba tion has reached such a stage that two black spots appear on the shell. These spots are really the eyes of the coming fish, and they are the means by which the fish culturist tells that the eggs have been properly fertilized. New York Post. PARCELS POST PROPOSED. Senator "Wellington Wants Govern ment to Carry Express Packages. Washington, Feb. 18. Senator Wel lington of Maryland proposes that the government shall go into the business of carrying express packages, and will in troduce an amendment to the postoffiee appropriation bill, authorizing and en abling the postmaster general to put into operation an experimental parcels post service between Washington and Richmond, or Richmond and Philadel phia, or between Washington and all of the above named places, or between any other points he may deem most practi cable. The amendment also authorizes the postmaster general to establish rules and regulations for carrying of parcels byr the postoffiee department not to ex ceed eleven pounds in weight and to charge for the same not to exceed 6 cents for one pound and 2 cents addi tional for each extra pound up to and including eleven pounds, provided that the postmaster general may add an ad ditional charge not to exceed one-half of the above charges for the immediate delivery of such packages to the ad dressee. The amendment further provides for an appropriation of $100,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary to put the provisions involved in the experiment into effect. SPAIN GETS DAMAGES For Failure of Clyde Company to Fur rush Torpedo Boats. Edinburg, Feb. 18. The court of ses sion today awarded the government of Spain $327,500 in the action begun here January 20 by the Spanish minister of marine. Sanchez Toca, to recover $375,000 from the Clyde Bank Engineering Shipbuilding company because of the company's failure to deliver in contract time four torpedo boat destroyers which which had been intended for use during the Spanish-American war. In the course of the judgment Lord Killachy, the presiding judge, said he thought it more than probable that if Spain, even in the spring of 1S97, had been in a posi tion to establish a really effective block ade in Cuba against the unloading of munitions cf war the insurrection might have been crushed and American inter vention have been avoided- He there fore allowed Spain $2,500 per week for the 135 weeks delay to which she was entitled under contract. r jtje mm s BUTTONS li I II fj of all values, from the plebeian, at 2lAz per dozen, from the banks of the Missis sippi, to the aristocrat from France, Ger many or Austria all sizes from the pin head to the size of the half dollar piece These are all new, and it gives us a very complete line of this much needed article, as fashion decrees that BUTTONS shall be used both for utility and as decoration.

Studio Cage in Bronx Park for the Convenience of Artists. The new lion house- at the Bronx park is becoming the rendezvous of the animal painters of this city, and the lions seem to enjoy being painted. When the wind is howling through the trees outside and the air is white with flying snow, they seem content to pose all day, if need be, the only draw back being that they persist in falling asleep. Being painted soon loses its novelty, even if the work is done by a master. As a re sult, often when anartistwants his mod el to look ferocious, the model looks and acts not unlike a great overgrown house cat. Old Oom Paul, the patriarch of the Bronx park lion house. is the most sought-out model. Oom Paul is every inch a lion, asieep or awake. Powerful ly built, with long shaggy mane, he is the model to please the enthusiastic painter of animals. But Oom Paul loves his sleep, and from the "King of the Desert," he has a habit of lapsing into "Royalty in Repose" that keeps artistic throats dry devising fresh calls to awake him up. But, notwithstanding such little inci dents, if one is determined to paint lions the place pre-eminently suited for th painting of them is the new Bronx park lion house. One of the first artists to avail himself of its exceptional advan tages for the study of animal life was John Hansom Walker, Jr., an English animal painter who has lately come to this country. Mr. Walker is commis sioned to paint Oom Paul by a wealthy collector of animal paintings in this city. The new studio cage is at one end ot the building, shut off from the main lion hotise, so that the artists may be free from interruption from the public when at work. There are two partn to it. the auditorium and the cage. The former is 20 by 17 feet, with platforms ranged one above the other so that a number of artists working at the same time may not interfere with one another. About :tO artists can be accom modated at one time. The studio caee is ar ranged directly under the big skyliuht. and when a lion is wanted by the arttsta he is driven into a car or shifting cng", lowered to a subway communicating witri the studio cage, to which the car contain ing the animal ii raised by means of a bit. Then it is an easy matter to get th ani mal from the shifting eae safely inside the studio cage by "simply opening the gates and throwing in a bit of meat. With the animid inside the cage in a perfect light and no bystanders to disturb them the artists are free to begin work. To say that the animal painters of the city appreciate what has been done lor them at Bronx park is putting it lightly. Herttofore they have labored under grent advantages in the painting of animals, be ing obliged to work in Central park bo fore 9 o'clock in tho morning in order to avoid the crowds, and the lifrht, especial ly in the winter months, is not always good for sketching In the early morning hours. New York Tnbune. NEW AKMY SHOE ADOPTED. Washington, Feb. 18. The war de partment has adopted a hiking shoe, a most formidable type of footgear, ad mirably adapted to rough usage in the Philippines. It has been found that the. shoes now issued to troops stationed in the islands are not durable. The hard service to which they are subiected in the rough sections of the country, espe cially during the wet season, leaves very little of them. The new shoe is of the style commonly used by hunters, the uppers coming well up on the leg. Kach side of the tongue of the shoe is fastened to the upper so as to exclude water and the leather is of rough grain, thick and of the tan vai ieti'. The sole is very heavy and the heel and sole are fitted with hob nails, an idea adopted from the British army shoe. The new American army shoe is much lighter in weight and more com fortable to the wearer than the British shoe, which carries the quality of dura bility to the point of being an infliction to the soldier who must wear it on the marc.

Bingham's remark in his letter to congress, explaining- why it wi!I cost $),0t'0 instead of the usual $23,000 to maintain the White House next year, that the presi dent does more entertaining than any of his predecessors, is fully borne out by the facts, although the attempts made by some members of congress to show that the president is using gov ernment money for iiis hospitality is unjust and untrue. The Sj.0fMj will pay for the up-keep of the White House the service, the linen, the china, the flowers, the new furniture, the fuel and all that. The president pays for the food and drink out of his own pocket. Kven with none but the food and drink items to pay for, the president will have little of his salary left when he goes out of office, if he continues to entertain as lavishly as he has done since he returned from Ovster Bay last fall. Since the president and Mrs. Roose velt opened the remodeled White House, there has never been a day that friends have not enjoyed their hospitality. Mrs. Roosevelt's illness is due to the terrific strain of her extraordinary so cial duties. Since Thanksgi ing there has not been a day when Pr-sident Roosevelt has not entertained a large house party. In this connection there is a good story. At the Cockrell breakfast in hon or of the newly wed Mr. and Mrs. Kdson Oaliaudet. President Roosevelt fell into conversation with the hostess and aunt of the bride. The lady regr-tted that there were no good hotels in Washington, and waxed eloquent in defense of her theme. lis president listened and tiien exclaimed: "Xo good hmels in Washington! You must be mistaken, niadame. Surely you have never stopped at the White House. In the last few weeks the president entertain-d as house guests upwards of 2iK persons. The lavish entertainment at the White House does not halt at parties of two. four, six or even eight persons at a time, but has included the greatest number of musicales, at homes, dinners, luncheons and conversaziones ever at tempted by any host or hostess in this citv. Besides the three state dinners and the five state receptions, there have been six elaborate musicales and cards are now out for three more. These musicales are always preceded by a dinner to from 15 to 20 guests and are always followed by a supper, at which ail of the 300 to 300 guests are served with light refreshments. At the White House this does not mean that the guest is handed the tra ditional cup of weak bouillon and a wr fer. The president and M-s. Roosevelt offer their guests a dainty repast not to be exceeded for elegance or plenty in the heme of the richest nabob of the citl". At least three times a wek the presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt invite from a dozen to li persons to luncheon. In ad dition, the president gives at 1-ast five elaborate dinners each week. Mrs. Roosevelt has given five large afternoon receptions, to which about 1.--W guests were specially invited by card on ea h occasion, and with these went a tlainty collation., never stingily served and replete with delicate and eostlv food. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt sel dom accept invitations to dinner, but they have found time arnjd this whir! of hospitality to dine with each of the cabinet families and with Senator Irlge and Hanna and to be present at the public banquet to Judge Harlan and on the occasion of the Y.

Warning to All Violators of Maine Prohibitorj Law. Bangor.-Me.. Feb. 1?. The worst fears of the saloon men wore realized in the supreme court here when, at the con clusion of the term. Justice spar an nounced that hereafter all persons ccn-vict-d of violation of the liquor law may exper t .in addition to a fine, a jail sen tence. Saloon men must now choose be tween abandonment of a profitable busi ness or jail. There is no longer any doubt that enforcement of the most radical kind has come to llangor for twenty-five years a wide open town. At the closing session of court the sum of $10,615 was paid in fines, making a total for the term of $s,iiM, or twice as much as ever before collected at a singie term. There are in Penobscot county 224 persons paying the t"nit-d States tax as liquor dealers, and all were indicted at this term. About one hundred have filed demur rers, thus deferring settlement. until Au gust. The other 1:14 have paid the fines. The saloons are still open. FORMALIN A FAILURE.

As a cheap source of proieid. butter milk is even more deserving of notic than skim milk: though generally re garded as inferior, it ranks much higher in nutrient value. Kuti-rmiik is tr.n residue of milk after the butter has been made, and is about two-thirds the whole weight of the cream. In genera! chemical characters it is very similar to skim milk, for it retains all the ele ments of milk except fat. While it has. as a rule, a very small quantity of milk and owes its digestibility partly to this fact, it is n-ver free from fat. nor can the proportion be gauged to a fixed standard, as it frequently happens that where milk is abundant and rich, con siderable cuantity of fat is allowed to remain in the buttermilk in form of lumps of butter, which increases its food value. A careful skimmins may be necessary in such cases, if the milk is intended for special dietary. When buttermilk is used in large quantities its slightly diuretic proporti-s may be a slight disacl va ntage in some instances, but in general this quality rather increases its value in many cas-s of disease, and also in aidine digestion when the diet is not ueU- balanced and the disestive functions are overburd ened. An ordinary glass of buttermilk is said to yi-ld as much nourishment as two ounces of bread. Kuttei-miik is a most valuable addi tion to the elietary when there is a derr ciency of other nitrogenous food, there fore combines suitably with a farina ceous diet. The Irish laborer would fare poorly on his pork and p citatc.es with out the reinforcement of buttermilk to supply ail the needful elements for gi wth and repair. In India it is quite as highly appre ciated among the poor and pastoral people, who say. "A man can live with out hr-ad, but without buttermilk he dies." The water and salines of the milk are unchanged, but the lactose in the milk has undergone an acid change and lor the most part boon converted into laclic arid, but in fresh, gond buttermilk the loss of milk-sugar from the formatio, of lactic a-iti is too small to be of nun h moment. Th3 casein is in small curd.-, this result being brought about by the same ac id c hange. As the Tirnportton of kit t'c aofj increases the buttermilk becomes sour, and finally iirecijiitutei. the casein The usefulness of butter milk in baking is due to the presence of lac ti acid. When soda is added to th; mixture, the quantity must be regulated I the acidity of th- milk. Lactate ot soda is. formed by the association of these two agents, the lactate of soda re maining m the bread or cake ITS rsEFlTNESS IX DIETING. The v. hoiesomeness of buttermilk as an invalid beverage depends on the kind of bacteria that cause the fermentation, and unless care is taken in the storage of the milk and cream intended for butter m iking it may not he a safe o even paiatable food. The rather harsh taste of buttermiik is not pleading to some people, hut th? slight acidity makes it agreeable to mosr every cnj. Owing to the small sie or the particles of curd, smaller than thos.-. produced by the gastric juices of the stomach, buttermilk is more easily dt ested than milk, and it therefore "suits some i-an'onts better than whole milk. In cases of indigestion, or. when the stomach is in a feeble state from any cause, suc h as chronic, gasuie ..-atari n or ulceration, buttermilk is highly rec ommended to serve the double purpos of beverage and food.

low f CO 1 1 fcji TARIS, Jan. 31. We are having the nicest times these January aft ernoons shopping in the Rue de la Paix. or, to be exact, we are not out on a dignified expedition to select gowns and things, but to revel in bargains, w hich at this-.season of the year are so abundantly tantalizing in number and kind. The bargain search ers' quest here in Paris is made a pos itive pleasure and not a football rush and tumble like it is in America. At the principal shops madame is shown things; she does not have to struggle with a horde of women for the end of an apparently endless coil of some thing, only to rind it is probably the most no account old trash which she would not have as a Rift. On the other hand, the native politeness of the Fari sienne. even though it has been lik ened unto a veneer, wears well in the strenuous, affairs of bargain sales. Then in I'aris we do not rush off al most before daybreak to the shops, but wait until after dejeuner and comfort ably sally forth well groomed and in a sufficiently seraphic frame of mind to cope with the woman who selects right under our eye the very article we have set our hearts upon buying. Model frocks and hats are not to be sneezed nr. Very often a Rood Flench model at a elebiated house is six months in ad i ante of the styles seen on the average woman, and it is well to invest in a costume of this kind even if it has to bf sent to the cleaner's to be freshened up. and it will do duty beautifully for a goin to begin on next season. We all know what a comfortable feeling- it is To have a nice frock ready for the first cold days. In hats. too. you may pick up the st unningest affairs at half their real price. After all. there are folderols in dress thai women in every country may pick ini for a song during the next rew ivft-ks. but it is well to avoid the p i--s leg fads of fashion and the mania lor buying fascinating trifles one can do without. I. ace and embroideries, col lars and berthas of real and very good imitation ijre. net fichus, lace sleeves and belts to suit all Matures and rem nants of chiffon and silk are to be had ge.lore. All these accessories to com plete the successful toilet of the wo man of fashion are beloved of her chiefly because they are in most in stances extras, and not necessities ihings which in the usual course of events her conscience tells her she should do without, but when reduced in price may be indulged in w ithout prick ings of conscience. Wishes of all kinds are to be very mudi in evidence during the summer, the wide, chine llovvered ones especial ly. Painted chiffon sashes are certain ly dainty and attractive, ami the artis tic woman crtn have a variety of these pretty adornments. The most sober dress prevails in Paris just now. Kven th hats are ,;ui,t and mainly of the turban build. There is a llowr turban worn by Mile. I'ariix at the Athene? which 1 imagine will be the favorite spring hat. It is of the quite round de scription, the crown all mauve violets and the brim all white violets, which ftingi a wee bit on the hair at the back. The only oilier note on the hat is a perfectly flat wheel rosette of pur velvet from two to three inches in diameter. This hat, like most chio Pa risian confections, is a mere nothing, but I have made up my mind that a nothing: of this ilk shall soon adorn my decorations 1IIE giving of a luncheon in this f,i progressive age has become j such a high art that the woman who is not strongly fortified with a retinue of well trained serv ants is apt to be afraid to exercise her hospitable inclinations in this direction. number of smart hostesses have n ole a specialty of lunch -on entertain ing, and their success has raised the Mandard to the present difficult posi tion. The old order has pivn place to the new as much in luncheon etiquette fis in the m. nu itself. We were accus tomed to consider invitations sent out a week in advance of a formal affair the proper form, but now the smart, up to ilale wrinkle is for the hostess to see her prosi e, tiv guests and ask them personally a few days before the date s t for the luncheon party. This kind of invitation is apt to be misleading to the vornan who does not keep up with l i'.e latest fails, as it very naturally snf;e-ts art affair of the simplest sort, whereas in reality the function may be the most elaborate.

I v square at the back and front and had j easy to copy and became decidedly common. The feathered toques are made in any shape you fancy. A hat you particularly like and dislike to part with may be taken as a model. 1 he charm of this feather hat lies in the coloring, which is entirely com posed of the plumage of some tropical bird. The one I am thinking about is rather a large toque with a flat crown and draped, sides, covered with tiny feathers in the most dazzling shades of! green, blue and copper, with a feathery mass of green goura at the back. The shape was made in wire and covered with wadding and changed at will in order to get just the becoming form. It can be pinched or lowered, poked and twisted into any conceivable shape, but when once done it must be final, as the feathers admit of no elaboration when put on the hat for good. 1 V hite will be the summer as it has been the winter craze, and white veil ings and voiles are a safe investment, i ceives a few flowers corresponding in color with the ones on the table where she is supposed to sit. Between the courses the hostess changes places with one of the guests at each table, and in this way she is enabled to have a pleas ant little chat with everybody. A luncheon of this character is generally managed by a caterer or an experienced home chef. But all this style and display need not prevent the woman of modest means from undertaking by herself a pretty, dainty luncheon party which in its makeup will not be too great a tax on her strength. When planning a menu, she should include several dish es which can be prepared the day be fore. A wornout, anxious woman on the lookout for something to go wrong never makes a successful hostess; the strain is too apparent and reacts on the guests. If it is necessary to call in ex tia help, let it be some one to cook, and not a waitress, for the latter, not being familiar with the menage, often com plicates matters. A very good Idea is to have the service for the different courses arranged on tables in the pan try in the exact order of serving and a clearly written list of procedure givea I i i m Q.j"i.cl On all sides we hear that red and blue will be the dominant color note of fash- ion. Anything in black and white will be de rigueur, and the woman on a limited dress allowance will do well to ''r4fvAvwA'7 H IrWrStzS, 4, I', f 777.v make this her particular style. It is an economical as well as distinctive idea to have a color run through one's entire wardrobe. The accessories then harmonize, and a really imposing ap pearance is made on very little. This is an open secret to most women; still we have a bad habit of forgetting sometimes when a new color is allur ingly displayed. Of all the bargains in cloth and silks, it is well to look out for those in white, for the white dress is to be the dress par excellence for a table crowded with a quantity of use less decorations which add nothing whatever to the artistic effect. Here is a suggestion for a red lunch eon, and the recipes may be relied upon: Spread the table first with a fine dam ask cloth, then arrange a mound of red carnations fringed with asparagus vine as a centerpiece. If one wishes to be particularly swell, red cameliias may be used, and, with their glossy, green leaves, they are a charming decoration and quite the most approved flower of the season. A bunch of carnations should be placed at each cover. Four candlesticks of the kind which catch the grease are set at the corners. After bonbon dishes are added and the neces- iVienu mm THE LILY sary serving outfit Is laid the table ia prettily set. Now for the menu:

Cream of Tomato Soup. Olives. Celery. Saltine Crackers. Deviled Fish. Chicken Croquettes. Peas. Mashed Potatoes. Tomato Salad. Bread and Butter. Biscuit Glace. Angel Cake. Coffee. The following recipes will be suffi ciently elaborate for this informal luncheon and are very simple to pre pare Cream of Tomato Soup. One quart of canned tomatoes, one quart of fresh milk, one teaspoonful of soda. Let the tomatoes boil, then run through a col ander and add the soda. Smooth one tablespoonful of butter in the flour and j and zibeline and kinds to be most keen about. The fashion of embroidering white cloth in crewel work suggests a task for the influstrious. A little bolero or a short, pouched bodice entirely covered with woolen carnations might be easily accomplished and, with a small vest of ecru lace and a plain skirt tucked at the hem, will make a very swell white cloth Easter gown; not for Easter Sun day wear, however. We have left all that long ago for the bourgeoise. The ideal hat to wear w ith this costume is one covered with closely clipped black ostrich feathers and a crown of mouf flon. If a new Hat boa of black ostrich feathers with pendent tails and silken fringe is added, the last, touch is given to a costume which will redeem the most hopelessly unattractive woman. Speaking of attractions, I do not think the exaggeration of the straight front one sees everywhere is anything save attractive, being simply gro tesque. The straight fronted corset is j admirable, but I do not believe it was j Ui CLLX stir through the tomatoes. Add pepper j and salt and make scalding hot; then stir in the milk. Let the whole come to j a scald and serve. I neviled Fish. Take any kind of j white fish weighing not less than four pounds, boil until done, then remove skin and bones and cut up fine. Take a pint of water in which the fish was cooked and a pint of milk. Put into this butter the size of an egg. with a little chopped parsley and onion. Salt to taste and thicken with cornstarch. When this has boiled, mix with the fish. Bake in shells covered with breadcrumbs. Place a piece of butter and a sprig of parsley on the top of each shell. TABLE. Chicken Croquettes. Boil one chick en and two sweetbreads. Chop very fine. Take one large spoonful of butter and the same of flour and add half a pint of cream and a small quantity of milk to make a nice sauce. Add chick en and sw-eetbreads, stirring all togeth er. Season with red pepper and salt. Shape nicely with the hand, dip into beaten egg and cracker dust. Have the lard boiling and fry quickly and drop in a larder to drip. Biscuit Glace. Boil twenty minutes one-half cup of water and three-quarters of a cup of sugar to a soft ball and add four eggs. Stand this in hot water and stir until it thickens, adding in the meantime one pint of whipped cream flavored with vanilla.

Pack in ice and salt for three hours. early spring wear, face cloth are the ever intended to produce the absurd figures one sees just now. The best ideas can be abused, and by this exag geration we are abusing a very good thing the straight fronted effect. Many women believe that by wearing a corset of this kind and throwing back the shoulders in a stiff kind of fashion they become models of the correct form. The fur boa and muff are being re placed by the ostrich feather ones. The ostrich muff must be prodigious in size, and the boa Hat and scarfiike in out line. These sets are very dressy and becoming and smarten up a passe cos tume wonderfully. The color which at tracts the notice of the authorities at present is a royal blue: and in mousse line de soie it makes a lovely ball gown and may be relied upon to be becoming to the neck and arms. This bright blue was the material of a dress very much admired at a soiree recently. The gown had a skirt set into large, flat plaits and a swathed bodice bearing tiny re vers of white velvet, showing a chemi sette of Valenciennes lace. It was cut square at the back and front and had large, puffed sleeves with voluminous white frills. The wearer was shod in the sweetest little gold slippers with flap fronts and wore a trellis worked cap of jewels in her hair. You may make a note of the jewel Angel Cake. One and a half cups of sugar, one cup of flour, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, one teaspoonful of vanilla. Sift the flour and sugar sepa rately four times, then measure.

EDITH LAWRENCE. The Craze For Beadwork. The beadwork of the Indian woman is steadily growing in favor, and we are using her artistic and beautiful handiwork for almost every purpose in both the world of fashion and in the household. Moreover, we are becoming very expert in the making of attractive designs ourselves, and pretty soon the paleface and the squaw will be brought into sharp competition. But we shall be handicapped, as the Indian girl's knowledge of this bead painting is second nature to her. For use in the household nothing is better to brighten up a dark niche than a string of the glass beauties. They adorn chande liers and hang over picture frames. Lovely are the new candle shades. Cov ered first with silk, they are dotted with beads, and a fringe of the same finishes the bottom of the candle dra pery. Battleaxes having beaded han- trellis cap. for it is going to be the coming head decoration. The artistic jeweler, like the clever dressmaker, is also utilizing the exquisite designs of other days, and the developments are most satisfactory. There has been a perfect furore for enamel of all kinds The Italian work is by far the most delicate and shows a wonderful min gling of coior. In second class jewelry, more properly known as bijouterie, the art nouveau is still in vogue. Pretty fashions for young girls" even ing frocks are really the most pro nounced sartorial achievements. Net dresses trimmed with rows of graduat ed velvet ribbon in a color is quite the latest ideu. The skirts are shirred round the waist and mounted on chif fon and lined with soft silk. Some times between the bands of velvet on the hem is a fine tracery of silver se quins, but the omission of these by no means detracts from the charm of the dress. Then there is a fascinating girl's frock of white embroidered and spangled net which is completed by a velvet belt of rose de chine. There is no doubt that in our fashions we are returning to the style of the sixteenth century the new gauged, flowing skirts belong to that period and we may be picturesque up to a certain point without being thought eccentric. In the new spring cloths for walking gowns the weaves are still rather shag gy, with raised dots in several har monizing tones showing underneath the plain surface. Invisible checks are not forgotten by Mme. La Mode, and all sorts of canvas are assured as a nov elty. These have lines running in sev eral tones which in different lights gleam out most unexpectedly. The bo lero is the style again for spring jack ets. It is becoming to almost every body and is too youthful and jaunty to give up. By the way, tweeds are as rough as rough can be, and you know their possibilities in that direction. Then there is a new kind of crepe de chine w ith a more brilliant surface than we have had of late. Many of the cloth frocks are made with the double decker skirt, while the old, kilt plaited one of long ago is re vived. When putting on a skirt for the first time, it is always well to ex amine it to see that the hooks are in the proper place, after which the skirt should be well drawn down in front. If a woman stands properly, she will have no difficulty in keeping her skirt at the proper angle. After the skirt is adjust ed. the waist comes in for considera- i tion. Pull it well down in the back and if possible have the skirt hook over the bodice. In this way one never need be afraid of missing connections. After properly putting on a dress the next es sential is to wear it well. This can only be done by standing and walking grace fully. Paris has been quite excited over a controversy going on in the newspapers anent the "outrageous" fashion the women have of holding up their skirts. News is evidently at a premium, and the enterprising young reporter is pos sibly filling up space. CATHERINE TALBOT. Bourette is an effect produced by in troducing lumpy, knotted yarn into the weaving. The yarn so introduced is woven in at intervals, forming pat terns or creating an evenly arranged rough surface. I worm! dies are good for decorative purposes, and the tomahawk and pipe combina tion is also adorned with beads." It seems we are to wear bands of beads on our summer hats as well as on the belts of our thin dresses. Purses, slip pers and all sorts of fancy baskets we

Jr V-0 t:-: A :-:c ,c.' 2i&L -t r- i B -S,m .JT-.SJSFV have seen from time immemorial, but the viewpoint has changed, and we now look upon the once despised objects as things of beauty, and if the enthusiasm keeps up they will prove joys forever, as the durability of Indian work is proverbial. Sleep "Without a Pillow. A girl who is noted for her grace of carriage sleeps on a hard, straight bed. She says that at first she found it diffi cult to get to sleep on its somewhat rigid surface after the luxurious feath ery couch shie had been used to. But now- she would on no account return to the soft resting place. There is no doubt that the practice of sleeping with the head high is not nearly so restful or conducive to good carriage as a flat ter pose. The head should only be raised slight ly above the level of the body at the utmost. To Keep Silver Bright. Silver in daily use may be kept very bright if allowed to soak in strong bo rax water for four or five hours occa sionally. The water should be perfect ly boiling when it is poured over the plate. This simple hint will save much elbow grease and also plate powder if carefully followed. I A New Spring Wrap XX THIS is the daintiest little wrap im aginable for early spring wear. It is called a. shawl pelerine and is fashioned of filet guipure banded with chinchilla. The fastening is of chenilla and silk passementerie. For summer wear dainty ruffles of chiffon might be substituted for the fur. In most in stances the chiffon would also be more becoming and attractive. Storku anil Beits to Mntch. A very new idea for a stock and belt is to have both fashioned of white cloth, with an appliqued design in white suede leather applied in medallions, which are then outlined with small gold beads. Transparent collars are still as popular as ever. A stunning one has the usual point in front, high at the sides and back sloping into a comfort able curve at the throat. It is made of filet net as a foundation; on this is sewed appliques of pale blue embrold--ery spangled with turquoise beads. The entire collar is boned top and bottom. The smartest belts are the snakeskin ones with a gilt harness buckle. Good all round stocks, very neat and pretty to wear with the morning shirt waist, are the black peau de soie and four-in-hands made up in the shops to sell for a dollar. A linen turnover com pletes the trim appearance. illuiUiiiiUuUUiuiJ TOOTHSOME m"fn",Hi"il'n'H''l')'ii"iuvv EGGS AND TOMATO IN ASPIC Hard boil the eggs you wish to us and plunge into cold water. Stew four large tomatoes, put them through a potato masher and then rub through a sieve. Mix this puree into half a pint of liquid, but rather stiff, aspic jelly and color with a few drops of car mine. Cut the eggs in half, remove the yolks and pound with butter, pepper, salt, cayenne, chopped parsley and a little curry paste. Fill the whites of egg with this mixture. Line a mold with the jelly, arrange the half eggs in it and, if you have it, a little white chicken meat. Finish off the mold with the jelly and set. Arrange the eggs so that the yolks show. Orange and Banana Compote. Tak six rather unripe bananas, make a sirup of one cup of sugar and half a cupful of; water. Flavor with whole cloves and a one inch stick of cinnamon. Boil for eight minutes without stirring. Add the bananas and simmer until they be gin to clear. Put in the strained juic of two oranges, half a. glass of sherry and the juice of half a lemon. Remove the spices. Cut rounds of sponge cake, hollow out the center to form a cup and fill with the compote. Serve with whip ped crea m. Pear Trifle. Peel, core and cut infa dice some ripe pears. Cook in a littla rich susar sirup until clear and tender. Line the bottom of a deep glass dish, with slices of stale sponge cake, pour over a thick layer of the pears, cover with another layer of the sponge cake and the remainder of the pears. Thr dish should be two-thirds full. Just be fore serving pile whipped cream over all. Scatter over chopped pistachio nuts. A Beautiful Meek. To fill out hollows in the neck inha! deep breaths of fresh air and then very slowly expel them till all the air is ex hausted from the lungs. Do this eight or ten times several times a day. Re member that this exercise must ba practiced with the throat bare if you are to get the most possible good from it. and it is useless to expect to see an improvement for some w-eeks. Sunflow er seeds form an excellent and fattening diet for poultry. They are also invaluable as bait for rat and mouse traps. V. -am i Lir-: V If 1 till' VS L I C- n .4!

Mr. John Naylor was a philanthro pist. His name appeared on most sub scription lists published, and now and ag.iin a library was established in some suburb of London, -with his name attached, and all the eclat of an opening- by royalty. He had worked hard since a boy. and had made him self a grand business- in pickles. In appearance he was just the type of a successful man, for as fortune grew broader his waistcoat followed suit, and with flowing: white side-whiskers arid a sonorous voice, he amply matched the reputation he held for gen erosity. Unkind people said that he always made certain that the subscription list wcul'i be published before he sent a check, but this was doubtless jealousy. A ion? with the money he owned a daughter a prey to fortune hunters. Hut Bessie Naylor was as wise as she was pretty, and kept clear of these gentlemen. Probably the business in stinct of her father had been inherited by her, for she could easily distinguish a h tnese gentlemen were after. i About a couple of years ago she had attained the mature aee of 21. and old John Xayior thought that this was the opportunity for a little relaxation and therefore took his girl a trip arounci the world. Despite his pride in w. a ,rih. piaying. jts use he was very fond of his K!1, ,K. rbf f 'while thev w-ere in Venice thev met Guy 'edderburn, and before she kr.ew it, Bessie's heart had left her keeping forever. They only had a fortnie-ht tog-ether, but in that time Guy had found oppor tunity to teii her that he was a very much younger son of a ftood family, and desperately poor for his position, but that he loved her in spite of all, and meant to marry' her, an idea to which Bessie cordially assented. The youngsters agreed that it would I be madness to tell the old man of their love at present, and so nothing: was announced. Bessie eventually going hack to the Bayswater residence, while Guy returned to his Museum street street boarding house and clerkship at the Home office. But he found time to call on the N'ay lors, and one day the old man caught him kissinc- Bessie. It was useless to urge that lie loved her for herself, that her fortune was nothing-; old John Naylor poured out the viais of his wrath on the young fellow's de voted head, and in no uncertain way, either. That evening YVedderburn sat in the half-lounge, half-smoking room of the boarding house, his usual high spirits down to zero. And, as he thought, a during plan to "get his own back" en tered his head. John Naylor had made a bold bid for a title lately by building up a hospital and eetting his name even more prom inently advertised than usual in the charitable world. He had taken care that those in the right quarter should know of this. too. for he had caused a catalogue of his good deeds to be sent through Guy's office. Coronation honors were on the air. and the pickle manufacturer did not see why he should be out of them. But Guy had the previous week sent him an official letter to say that the secretary of state regretted, etc., which. patched About this time the high official twice before mentioned was notified by the "outer office" to put on a more festive air. It was a matter of great specula tion among- the choice spirits of which Wedderburn was one what was the meaning of all this. And one day Guy found out to his seCret amusement. The papers that morning had con tained an inspired paragraph to the effect that the well-known pickle man ufacturer and philanthropist, Mr. John Naylor. had received the welcome in timation that a knighthood awaited him. and Wedderburn sat on the dingy, smoking room lounge, in Museum street, chuckling over his successful plot, when a thin French voice attract ed his attention. Foreigners were in the majority there, and he would have takes .10 no tice, but that the name of his chief was mentioned. "Ces Ansrlais," he heard in sarcastic tones, "they are ail alike. So eood. so quiet, but directly a pretty girl ap proaches them they are as lively as arivbotly. CtelT how Nini has fooled him! We now have all the papers we want." That was all, but it told enough to Wedderburn. He now knew the rea son for the buttonhole, the jaunty air of his chief. And he also knew that these T'eople had got something of value from the old gentleman. He made full inquiries and found they were staying arcther week. It wa with a feeling of virtue that he de his wav to the office next mornm He would tell his chief all, promis to kef p it a secret, and who knew what rruirht nanpen His onpcrtur.it v was not long in coming. In a very few minutes he was summoned to his chief's room and there received the most severe carpeting that he could wish for. His second letter to Mr. Naylor had been traced hack to him, and dismissal all sorts of disagreeable things faced him. "Wh.it can you say for yourself?" thun dered the chief. "Nothing on that point, sir, but a good deal m another." was the answer, and he told of the conversation he had over- nearti. "Of 'course I shall be absolutely silent, ie vv..n ia rsiierl H.;t I had better be left to work the thing out 11 vo -1 w.sn.

"What do you think of that?" re marked one of the hello girls in a downtown telephone exchange yester day, turning to the girl who sat beside her. "They've given the Rocky mountain girls an increase in their wages. You know they have a union out there which they recently organized and they threatened to go on strike unless the company increased their wages $15 a month. So the company has given in and they'll get the increase from the 1st of February. That's a week from today. What do you think of that?" 'How do you know?" inquired the other girl. "Why, I just got it over the wdre from a friend of mine," came the an swer. "It must be true, for it came straight from Chicago along the line." "Why, I didn't know they had tele phones in the Rocky mountains." re marked the other girl. "I didn't know they had any west of Chicago." "Let mo teil you." continued the first speaker. "I got it straight and it's true. The news came to me a little while ago, partly by teleeraph and partly by telephone. A girl in bait Lake City sent it along the line." "I wouldn't be a telephone girl out there," remarked the listener. "It must be dreadful among them Mormons. I suppose all the hello girls have the same husband. But teil me how you got the news." "In the first place," remarked the girl who had the story, "an operator in Salt Lake City sent it along the wire to another party who sent uie news to Payne, Id., and Payne sent it to Crab Tree and Crab Tree sent it to a friend of mine at Dillon, who sent it to anoth er friend of mine at Butte, Mont. My friend there sent the news to Helena to her friend in Cheyenne. Wyo.. and she sent it to her friend at Lincoln. Neb., where Bryan lives, and she told it to a telegraph operator who knew a friend of mine in Chicago, and when he sent the news to my friend in Chicago she sent it on to me. Strange. iFn't it. how you can get news right out of the heart of the Rocky mountains. I've just been telling it to a friend of mine who is a telegraph operator in the "Western L'nion, and he said he intended to send the news to a friend of bis who was a .telephone operator in Boston, who had another friend, an operator in the west." "If I was alone in a Rocky moun tain central office. I'd be scared to death all the time." remarked the other girl. "I'd be thinking all the time that a bear or a lion might walk in to me some night that I'd be on nieht duty. I'd rather be right here in New- York without an increase in wages, wouldn't you?" "Sure." same the answer, "you hear all the news here, anyway, and you get more invitations to dinners and the ater patties. Hello, George, did you get those tickets for me." New York Sun.

They fill the veins with rich, red blood, sending; renewed life and health to every tissue of the body. Through the blood they nourish and restore the exhausted nerve fibres and their remarkable cures in all forms of nervous disorders have amply demonstrated that DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE are the most powerful nerve and spinal tonic in the world. An important feature of Dr. Williams' discovery is its absolute safety. There is nothing in the preparation of these pills that can impair the most delicate constitution. If you are pale and sallow, if you feel continually "tired out," breathless after slight exertion, if you have headaches and backaches, if you are irritable, nervous, shaky, if your joints ache, if your step is uncertain, if your appetite fails and food does not nourish nor sleep refresh you, you owe it to yourself to try DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. Do not let any foolish prejudice against advertised medicines stand between you and health. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS bring new life and strength, restore energy and ambition, restore the digestion, overcome debility, bring the glow of health to pallid cheeks, revitalize the nerves and make strong, h:althy men and women.

I partially lost the use of my right arm and side and suf fered the horrible pins that only those who have rheumatism can feel. Part of the time I was confined to my bed. For a while I was under the care of a doctor in Seattle but he did not do me any grood. He only Kave me powders to soothe the pain so that I could fJret some sleep. I ii Iso tried massage but without any relief. Then I went to our regular doctor here but he could do nothing for rue. He said he thought I was slightly touched with palsy. "Since doctors seemed unable to he'p me I felt discouraged. But my wife noticed Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Pale People advertised in Pome paper and so we pave them a trial. This was in and two months after I began their use I was a well man. I do not need to take any medicine now and I feel Ilk13 another being-. 1 can candidly say jC any person will follow the directions he will be relieved." Mr. Watson is now engineer in charge of the Hattie, one of the many yachts that ply upon the Columbia river, as hale and hearty a. man as one could wish to see, and he attributes it ail to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. His address is No. 46S Irving avenue, As toria, Oregon. Partial Paralysis Cured. "The doctor said I was not fit for work and that if I wanted to live T would have to grive up business," said Mr. P. J. Graham, of No. Jefferson street. Peoria, "It was a kind o paralysis and it is due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People that I am now in perfect health again.

Four of the per formers leave after the Topeka engage ment to join J-larnum Kailey's circus at IMadison Square garden, New York, March 'J. People who want to see good melo dramas at popular prices, have not been disappointed in the Riliian Mortimer company at the Irand this week. Like all stock companies, it has weak points, but they are not in the leading roles. Miss Mortimer is one of the best imita tions of an irresponsible child of nature ever seen here. The rtarts she takes in "A Gambler's Sweetheart" and "Prin cess of I'utebes" are botfi along the same line, and if Miss Mortimer can do as well in "The Palace of the Iving" to night no one can complain. She has sev eral cood actors in her company and could s;ive satisfaction at "double the money. The Phawnee County News, published at Rossville, says: "Charies Geha, a young Topeka peddler, claimed to have been robbed of several dollars' worth of goods by a young man with whom he had taken dinner Wednesday, about two miles east of Iiossville. When the ped dler discovered his loss shortly after the meal he called on his, host to deliver up the goods. Upon meeting a refusal the peddler asserts that he proceeded to erect a few large and pex-uliar bumps on the thief's "conch shell" which are not listed in a phrenologist's catalogue. After this business was disposed of to his satisfaction he searched the thief and found a few of the stolen articles, which, with the good "drubbing" he had given the light lingered lad, calmed his wrath and he came on to town rejoicing in his victory." 32 HORSES BURN. Fire in a Wichita Livery Barn Troves Costly. Wichita, Kas., Feb. 18. About 4 o'clock this morning Morgan's livery barn burned to the ground and thirty two horses were burned to death. Among them were some of the finest in the city. Total loss, $12,000. II ANN A SCQUEsTjAER. Says People Have Such Contempt for Him Thsy Wouldn't Believe Him. Washington. Feb. 18. Senator Hanna is credited with making some very tart references to President George F. Baer's argument before the coal strike com mission. When asked what he thought of Mr. liaer's comments. Senator Hanna said sharply; "I believe the American people have such a profound contempt for Mr. Kaer that anything ho may say on that sub ject will not be accorded any considera tion." In regard to Mr. Baer's charge that the civic federation refused to meet to consider the report of the joint commit tee on account of the contentions be tween the miners and operators, Senator Hanna said: "The reason we did not meet to hear that report was that we were advised by one of the railroad presidents that it would be useless. Mr. Thomas, presi dent of the board of directors of the Krie railroad, which is one of the coal carrying roads, is the man who advised me that the federation would be losing time in assembling and hearing the vote of the committee. He explained that no IS Cured. good would come of it and that the oper tors would not yield. For that reason the federation did not meet to hear the report, and I repeat that I do not care w hat Mr. Paer says about it." T US K EG E E t ON F E HENCE. Twelfth Annual Session Opened by Booker T. Washington. Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 18. The twelfth annual Tuskegee negro conference be gan its sessions at Tuskeeee normal and industrial institute today. The conference was organized by Principal Booker T. Washington. President Washington in his opening address said in part: "From the first it has been the main work of this conference to confine it sidf to a simple and informal considera tion of the methods and means of secur ing homes, the freeing- ourselves from debts, the saving of money, the encour agement of intelligent producers, the payment of taxes and the cul tivation of habits of thrift, honesty and virtue, the building of school houses and churches, the secur ing of education and high Christian character and friendship between the races. "Throughout the entire race we must keep alive a feeling of hop and encour agement. We have seen darker days than those throuxh, -which we now seem to be passing." The conference adopted resolutions setting forth various methods by which the conditions of the colored agricul turist can be improved and concluding with the declaration that "prosperity and peace are dependent upon good re lations between the races." DEER BLOCK THE HOADS. 23 Elk Ate Nearly a Load of Hay at Farmhouse in York State. Glens Falls, N. Y., Feb. IS. A team ster on the freight line from JLong Lake to Tattle Upper Iake reports the pres ence of a large herd of elk near Little Upper I,ake. He was freighting in a load of hay to the Little Upper and stopped over night at a hotel near by. In the morning 23 elk w-ere seen around the hay and a large quantity of it had been eaten. Reports from Newcornb say that deer are so plentiful in the Cold River section that teamsters have to scare them out of the road before they can pass with their loads. Stricken Dead. New York, Feb. 18. Sitting on the edge of her bed, talking to his wife, who was ill, Frank A. Lapham was stricken dead with heart disease at his home in this city. When stricken he was con gratulating Mrs. Lapham on her im provement. Mr. Lapham was supposed ly in perfect health. He was 53 years old and was very well known in steel circles. For several years he had been general sales agent for the Lackawanna Steel company, of Buffalo, with offices in this city. Prior to his connection with this corporation, he was with the Na tional Steel company. Will Provide for Inheritance Tax. Chicago, Feb. 18. Prompt payment of their inheritance taxes is required of the legatees of Mrs. Clementine W. Dinning, a former resident of Waukegan, 111., who died at San Diego, Cal., December 22. This requirement as a provision of the woman's will, which has just been tiled for rrobate, was so unusual as to cause considerable comment in the pro bate court. The estate consists of $40, OuO in personal property and $125,000 in real estate. The will gives most of the property to heirs of the late husband of the testatrix. Accepts the Call. Binghamton, N. T., Feb. 18. Rev. Frederick Trefz of the Kountz Memorial church of Omaha, Neb., who was ten dered an unanimous call by the First Congregational church of this city, has accepted the call and will occupy the pulpit of the First Congregational church for the first time as Its pastor April 19. ABSOLUTE, over me and then I. would have no feeling at all. A numbness some times came over me and I could not move. With it all were agonizing headaches and a pain in the. region of my spine. I look back on it now and wonder how I retained my reason through that long and trying ordeal. There were months and months when I got no natural sleep and my nervous system was a wreck from pain and the opiates which 1 had been obliged to take. "One day I read the statement of a man who had been cured of a case like mine by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I began taking them. The first box did so well that I continued until six boxes were taken and I was entirely cured. That was about seven years ago and I have been in perfect health ever since." Acute Indigestion Cured. Miss Helen Roling, of No. 267 South Washington street, Columbus, Ohio, says: "Two years ago I had an attack of acute indisestion, ac companied by nervous headache and dizzy spells. I lost in weight, my complexion became pale and sallow, slight exertion made me breathe hard and 1 coutd not walk any distance without getting all tired out. I became alarmed and sought medical aid but the doctors gave me no lasting benefit and I continued to grow worse. My stomach could not digest even the simplest and most wholesome food, and dieting did not seem to help me. And I was so tired and worn-out all the while. "It was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for- Pale People that cured me. I read an article somewhere telling what these pills had done and I be gan taking them. Kelief came almost immediately. I kept on taking them and my color came back, I could eat again with relish and with no fear of distressing consequences. I began to feel strong and active and in a short time was restored to perfect health." What Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People did for Miss Holing they will do for others similarly afflicted as is proved by thousands of cases on file. IF IN DOUBT whether to take Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills or not. write and find out whether they have cured cases simi lar to your own. We shall answer you with perfect frankness. We willnotseli the pills to people whom we do not think they will cure. Address: DR. WILLIAHS MEDICINE CO.. Schenectady, N. Y. NO DOUBLE LIABILITY. House Votes to Do Away With It. The house has voted to do away with the double liability of stockholders in Kansas corporations. The action was taken when the new private corporation bill was considered in the house com mittee of the whole. The bill as framed by the committee did not contemplate the repeal of the double liability pro vision, but Bulla Waggener sprung it, and alt'-ough it was first voted down he finally got it through with the balance of the bill. The bill as -framed by the committee on private corporations is primarily the Bush corporation law re-enacted with a few changes. It is stated that it is meant primarily to force corporations which are organized to do business ir Kansas to take cut Kansas charters. At present a great many Kansas corpora tions zo to other states for charters for various reasons, although they intend to do business only in Kansas. It is pro posed to remedy this by prohibiting cor porations from coming into Kansas un less they are actually engaged in busi ness in the state in which they are charter ed. When the consideration of the bill commenced Mr. Waggener proposed his amendment doing away with the douh" liability feature of the Kansas law. It was stated that Kansas is the only state which has such a provision and it keeps many corporations from taking out charters in Kansas. Adams of Butler opposed it, and said he was in favor of making stockholders liable to as great an extent as possible. He also said that the bankers did not want the double liability of bank stock holders taken away, but it was ex plained that this was provided for in a special law and Waggener'3 amendment would not affect banks. Waggener's amendment was voted down, but later he renewed it and se cured its adoption in the bill. Somebody pointed out that the constitution pro vides for double liability of stockhold ers in corporations, but it was stated that if the power to eniorce the dounie liability provision were taken away the constitutional provision would be vir tually repealed. This constitutional provision is con tained in section 211 of the constitution, which reads as follows: "Dues from eornoratons shall be se. cured by individuality of the stockhold ers to an additional amount eounl to the stock owned by each stockholder, and such other means as shall be provided by law; but such individual liabilities shall not apply to railroad corporations, nor corporations for religious or char itable purposes." Pledged to Kill Kaiser. Barcelona, Spain, Feb. 18. The news papers today publish an account of an anarchist meeting, recently held here, at which a German engineer, who had been in Barcelona for a fortnight and who has started for England, declared he pledged himself to make an attempt on the life of Emperor William of Ger many. Jeffries to Sidestep Corbett. Springfield, O.. Feb. 18. Jeffries and Fitzsimmons exhibited to a large crowd at the city hall. William Delaney, "Jeff's" trainer, said: "Sharkey and McCoy will be given an opportunity to face Jeffries before Corbett. because I believe they really want to fight. Cor bett does not." Speaking of the cham pion's future plans, Delaney said the present tour of Fitzsimmons and Jef fries would be continued until the sum mer. Went Down With All on Board. Chicago. Feb.: 18. According to the Record-Herald's New Orleans corres pondent, a private cablegram received there from Rio de Janeiro states that the steamer Belluera. bound from Rio de Janeiro to New Orleans with a cargo of coffee, lias gone down with all on board. PROOF: Miss Oeorgiana J. Mossey, of No. 129 Bake street, St. Albans, Vt.. was cured of anaemia by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. She says: "My system became all run down generally, my blood was poor and the doctors said I had anaemia. My appetite failed me, I be came pale and sickly with no color at all in my face. I had dizzy spells and severe headaches. My illness affected my limbs and I could not walk any distance without becoming very much fatigued and short of breath. I suffered for two years and twice was confined to my bed. I doctored with the local physician for over a year and received no benefit. Then I went to Montreal and took treatment from a physician there but he did me no good and I began to fear I would never get well. "While in Montreal a friend of mine advised me to try Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I began taking them and quickly saw a change for the better. I soon noticed that my lips were beginning to look red and the pallor was fading away. My cheeks began to fill out and my appetite returned. My friends noticed the change and asked me who was my doctor now. I told them that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were doing all this. Altogether I took twelve boxes and by that time I was a strong and healthy girl again." Miss Bertha Kennedy, a young lady living- at Canton Junction. Mass., says: "When I was fourteen years old I began to decline in health. I was entirely without color, thin as a rail, nervous and irrita ble, tired and lifeless and in a seriously low state of health in general. "I was taken from the high school on account of my poor health, but continued to grow worse. Then I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and with the first few doses began to feel better. A few boxes restored me entirely to health." 1 B,-x- 'T- -A;, 4) ii;iaaisKKi XiSsigTj AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT. "The Tyranny of Tears," which was at the Crawford last night, with Paul Gilmore as the star, is a good all round show; Eood for the audience to witness and good for the business management of the enterprise, for only six people were on the stage last nieht and the salary list must be small. There are few companies with but half a dozen members that could thoroughly please an audience. One of these com panies is that headed by Mr. Gilmore in Haddon Chambers' bright comedy of domestic troubles, which pleased the au dience far better than many of the larger companies that have been heie this season. "The Tyranny of Tears" is one of the few comedies here this season that bor der on the legitimate. There have been Plenty of farce and slap-stick affairs, asd it was a relief to see and hear that which developed humor subtle and rich. Mr. Chambers' comedy, though of a smaller breed, is as worthy of a lonf life as "The School for Scandal." and it as far more decent. In fact there is nothing vulgar, nothing suggestive and nothing of the low comedy order in the tearful comedy. It is bright, witty and as much a mirror of temperaments and taming as the immortal "Taming of the Shrew." Mr. Gilmore, who plaved the leading role of "Clement Parbury," appeared at j his best in the role. He has been seen i in Touekrv before in "The Three Mus ki tens" and in "Under the Red Robe" but in neither of the romantic and thrilling dramas did he win the favor he did last night. Mr. Gilmore is an actor in the front rank who may be referred to as "American actors of tomorrow" for the zenith of his career has not been reached. Mr. Gilmore has the first qualification of an excellent stage presence and he adds to that his ability. He has studied every movement, every expression and every inflection but in the part the studied idea is forgotten. One good thing about Mr. Gilmore is that he does not "slop over." His heroics, if it might be said that there was a tingre of that in the character, are not nauseating; his comedy is rich and not directed at the audience; his love scenes are natural and not at all tiresome and his fireside sermons are enjoyable. Mr. Gilmore was, supported by an ex cellent company. Grace Hobart Hanson, as "Mrs. Parbury." could not be excell ed in the character of the tearful, stupid, fault finding, selfish wife, who cried when her husband wished to go fishing for a day, who wept when he left her for 15 minutes to post a letter and who gave way to hysterical sobs at every opportunity. She won her share of the honors. Miss Rose Tiffany, as "Hyacinth Woodward," the secretary, kept her abilities to the fore and shared honors with Miss Hanson. Both are handsome women. Kenneth McLeod. as "George Gunning," was good at times, only a few times, however, and he was posi tively painful. His manner of acting sorely reminded one of the efforts of an amateur in home talent theatricals speaking his lines with about as much expression as a phonograph with the main spring broken. "Colonel Armit age" by C. T. Watson, was nothing to be proud of, and "Evans," the butler, by Robert Bruner, was pretty stiff and ex pressionless and rather heavily powder ed and painted beneath a wig that did not fit at all. So, there were only three or four people that played the principal parts well, but their efforts were so pro ductive of good results that the audi ence quite forgot the weak spots in the cast. "The Tyranny of Tears" is good and so is Gilmore. It is hoped that he will return next season with another play that fits him as well. Pensions for Kansans. Washington, Feb. 18.

SILVER JUBILEE OF POPE. Begins February 20th and Will Ex tend to April 28th. Rome, Feb. 3 8. The details of the fes tivities of the pontifical jubilee of the pope have been concluded. The celebra tion will begin on February 20. the anni versary of his election, and will extend to April 28, when the pope will hold a great reception in the Vatican and pos sibly deliver a speech to those who will be admitted to the papal presence. A number of deputations from various countries are expected in Rome by the beginning of March, to be present at the ceremonies on March 3, when the twenty-filth anniversary of Pope Leo's cor onation will be celebrated. On February 20, the twenty-fifth anniversary of his election, the pope will receive in solemn audience all the pilgrims and deputa tions to the holy see in the great hall of the Vatican. During this reception a triple crown of pure gold will be pre sented to the sovereign pontiff on behalf of the Catholic bishops of the entire church, and gold keys, symbolic of the papal authority, to lose or to bind, will also be presented to him on the part of the priests in Rome. Contributions of Peter's pence from various parts of the world will be given to the pope by the different deputations that will be present at the ceremonies of the jubilee. The pope will give the apostolic benediction at the conclusion of the reception, and in the evening all the cardinals and bishops in Rome wili attend a thanksgiving service in the Vatican basilica, which will be brilliant ly illuminated in honor of the event. The cardinals and bishops will be in full pontifical robes, and the assemblage will be a brilliant and imposing one. The Swiss guards, in ail the gorgeous ness of their ancient uniforms, designed by Michael Angelo, will be on duty, and will wait on the illustrious personages. The pope, in all probability, will not at tend this service, as the fatigue of the reception, it is thought, may try the venerable pontiff's strength. On the same day masses of thanksgiving will be offered in all the churches and bas ilicas in Rome, and the cardinal cham berlain will olhciate at a solemn ponti fical high mass at the main altar in St. Peter's. On March 3 the anniversary of Pope Leo's coronation and his ninety-third birthday, the sovereign pontiff will be borne in state in the famous "Sedia Gestatorum." preceded by the full com pany of Swiss Guards and all the pTiests, bishops and cardinals in their flowing robes. His holiness will celebrate mass at St. Peter's altar. Tickets w ill be given out several days in advance for admis sion to the cathedral on this day. At the conclusion of the mass t he pope will be borne to the great balcony of St. Peter's, where, surrounded by all his cardinals, he will impart the apostolic benediction, "Urbi et orbi." This is in accordance with the custom of the popes in times past to impart the papal blessing to Rome and to the entire world. Formerly the guns of San Angelo boomed out after the benedic tion, but they will be silent now. In stead, the church bells of Rome will be rung. The ceremonies will continue for two months, during which interval the pope will receive the various tokens of re gard that will be sent to him from all parts of the world. On April 28 Pope Leo will have reached the years. months and days that St. Peter reigned in Rome, and if his health permits he will hold a great reception in the Vatican and possibly deliver an address. His physicians are watchful of him and are taking extra precautions for the coming festivities. Regarding the health of the pope it can be said on the authority of Dr. Mazzoni, one of his physicians, that he is in excellent condition. He has suf fered during the last few days from a slight cold, but this did not prevent him from attending to his usual work. Water Tube Svstem Fails. London. Feb. 18.

Nothing- is ex- 1 petted from the adjourned Inquest to probe the death of J. P. Sieger, which will be held today. The jury mt at 10 o'clock this morning' and immediatt ly adjourned until 2 o'clock this afternoon. At this hour Or. William T. Cross, who has been mak ing a chemical analysis of the stomach of the deceased, has promised to have his re port ready. That it will shed any light on the mysterious murder is not believed. The following' letter has been received from Burlington In justice to J. P. Sicp-er. who died at the Theimo hotl in your citjr last we-?k, so much has been published that was er roneous that I would like to make a state ment of his character as 1 knew him. I became acquaint d wit h Mr. Sieger about a year and a. half ago and saw him more or less every day. The latter part of last May he came to my house to room and was there during- June and a part of July and has visited with us often since. Vlis habits were good, he spent very littla time away from home and when the occa sion demanded his absence he always came in at a seasonable hour. Regarding tn statement made In some of the papers aa to him being a drinking man and out fof a good tim I believe this to- be a mis take. On the other hand he was very re served. I never knew him to take a drink. We often conversed about such matters an l at one time while at my house tome friend of his sent him a bottle of whisky, wbJo'i was supposed to be very fine. Ho re marked that he had no use for it and of fered to present it to me. Sine his death there has been a grpat deal said about him and I have failed to- rind a man who ever saw him take a drink. I considered him an exemplary young man and such ia the expression of the residents of our city who knew him. As a citizen, I consider it my duty to uphold him. Verv trulv vours, W. H. J.AN'K.
