Somebody Tried to Injure a New Jersey Central Train. Rayonne, X. J.. March 2S. An attempt to damage a Xew Jersey Central train while it was passing through Bnyonne last night, runnins at the rat" c.f about at miles an hour, narrowly missed re sultinfr in death, or at least irplury, to many passengers. The train was heav ily loaded. As it. was passing tinder the hrid.s-e at Kast "Forty-sixth street, some one dropped a stone weiehintabout thirty pounds from the bridge to the top of the coaches. It is supposed the puposc was to drop the rock on the en gine. The rock had a twenty foot drop. It hit the roof of the first passenger eoaeh, broke throntrh, shattered the gas connections and fell in between seats that contained passengers. The noise of i the stone tearing through the roof and i .hopping to the floor caused women to scream atid faint, and there was gener al excitement in the car. A braketnan, j not knowing what had occurred, pulled the emergency brake cord and the train was stopped suddenly. ANTARCTIC PERILS. Thrilling Adventures of South ern Explorers Related. Lyttleton, New Zealand, March -S. -The Pledging parties of the British Ant antic ship Discovery, whose experi ences were repotted fry the telief snap Mornip.tr, on the la iter's arrival here Wednesday, engsiged :n much hazard ous w..rk The dash southward of Cap tain Scott of the Discovery, as a result of which he reached latitude X-.17 south, was attended by sreat hardships an 1 extra strain. Th-' softened snow told quickly on the dogs, w hich all died. The party had only a month's provisions when they left the southernmost depot and therefore if was impossible to cop tinue southward without inviting' dis aster. The return journey was most trying-. The party were on short ra tions for live days and their proptass w as seriously impeded by fog. Lieu tenant Sharkleion burst a blood vess -1 in ope of his hires and only his pluck 'iilini him through. The err w of the J.iiscovery are de scribed as having palpably aged owing to hard liviusb but all are well and cheei"'ul. Another party, under Lieutenant Paines was returning from a sledge, journey towards .'ape Crozter when a blizzard struck them, 10 miles from home. Barnes abandoned bis tents and sledges and lett the doss to lind their own way to the ship. Owing to the hlindins? snow Patties and his compan ions were unable to see two yard iihead. White they were descending ii slope one of the party disappeared and members of the expedition discovered themselves to tie on the edge of a husje piecipice. Another member of the party tell from she f weariness and was not missed for sometime and he was eveiu nally Riven up as lost by the rest of liN companions, who searched for him. Put it d, -vcloped that the man slept, under a drift for :'.ti hours and he rejoined the ship unbanned. The members of another sledge ex pedition under Lieutenant Armitace went westward and were away tifly two days. They attained an altitude of 'iiiiio feet and descended on an ice slide to a glacier :h')a0 below. The de scent was perilous. The slerier-s at one part of the descent, cverrd l.:i.0 feet m a minute and 10 seconds, the occupants hanging em by st'aps lo the hacks of the slodses.

POLITICAL GOSSIP State Printer Amendment 3iay Lose Plant to Topeka. No Provision That Work Must Be Done Here. LIVELY TIME IN KIOWA John DaTis Has Trouble in Run ning Things. Everything in Readiness for Seventh District Rattle. It has developed that if the amend ment to the constitution to elect the state printer by a vote of the people carries next year, as it probably will, Topeka may lose the state printing plant. This will not necessarily follow, but it is quite likely to. The present section of the constitu tion relating to the state printer says: "All public printing shall be done at the capital, and the prices shall be reg ulated by law." The proposed amend ment to the constitution repeals the old provision and says nothing about where the work shall be done. It would be possible, of course, for the legislature to pass a law requiring that the work shall be done at the state capital, but it is by no means prob able that such a law would be passed. There would be a big demand at once that the contract for the state printinc; be sublet to other printers over the state, and the demand would doubtless be so strong that it would be necessary for the state printer to comply. This sort of an arrangement might ailow the newspaper men of the stat-5 tc participate in the big profits of the state printer, provided they did not bid asrainst one another too hard. For in stance, the printing for the various state institutions would perhaps be, done in the town where, the institution exists that for the State university at Lawrence, that for the state normal at Kmporia, and so on. If the amendment carries it will be come effective immediately after the election in November of next year. The Burton members of the executive council, including State Auditor Wells, w ho is about half-and-half, are sending out senatorial garden and flower seeds. They go out under Senator Burton's frank. Serittary Lurrow is looking after his Rurtoii friends in the Sixth oistriot. Attorney General Coleman those in the Fifth. Treasurer Kelly those in the Second, and Auditor Wells those in the Thi"d. The First and Fourth districts have Purton congressmen. There are no Hurton people in the Sev enth, so they are not missing anything. There ought to be a lot of Purton flow er gardens this summer. Fditorial comment in the Kansas City Star: "An outside paper objects to ex Senator Hart is for canal commissioner and Judge Hook for the circuit bench because Kansas 'already has its nose pretty deep in the federal trough. It cites Justice Prewer of the supreme court, L. F. Ware, commissioner of pen sions; J. Tj. Pristow, fourth assistant postmaster general: Thomas Ryan, as sistant secretary of the interior, and W. K. Stanley, member of ti Dawes com mission. This objection is weakened by the fact that President Roosevelt wants some more men like them." It is pretty generally settled how the first ballot in the Seventh district con vention next week will stand. In it all the "home" candidates will receive their complimentary votes and after that the home candidates will begin to throw their delegations to the candidates whom they want to get them. There is some doubt about Kiowa county. A local factional fight there has resulted in two delegations. John I Davis heads one faction and if his dele- gation is seated it will vote for Davis i himself, or it may go to whoever he j wishes. If the anti-Davis deleg.itier j is seated it will be unqualifiedly for Judge Price. All of the counties in Sen ator Smith's senatorial district that hare no candidates of their own will vote for Smith. Counting Kioyva county for Price, the vote on the first ballot will follow s: Smilh lad wards county 4. stand as !rant (Ireeley 2. Haskell L'. Hodgeman :i. Kearney 2. Lane 2, Morton "J.

Rooks County Record: Tt appears all that kept the legislature from passing the tax bill was a h'insQ iiinii'lnir'tit strenuously adhered lo. leaving monev iu the hands of county treasurers until needed by the state, thereby preventing the state treasurer from getting in terest on state deposits from Tcrpeka banks. The senate stood by the state treasurer and defe.ited the whole bill. We needed some reforms in our meth ods of assessing property, but they will have to wait until the people speak in a loud enough tone for the obtuse sen ators to h"ar and understand. The Kiowa county contest took place Friday afternoon. John W. Davis, n Creensburg attorney, is in control of the county central committee, and he has miniature congressional boom of his own. Theve has for years hen a loea! factional fhiht in Kiowa oovmtv. which has been Davis and anti-Davis. Th county central committee did not call a convention to elect the three congres sional delegate? to which Kiowa county is entitled, so tlte anti-Davis crowd got. up a hetition and called a mass conven tion to he held today. That stirred up the ravis faction, and the county cen. tral committee .-ailed a regular conven tion lor Friday. Davis wanted the. delegation in his control, but the anti Davis faction was tor Judge Price. When the comaii'-tee called a regular convention the anti-Davis, or Price., crow d simply abandoned their ow n cai and went in and defeated Davis in his own convention. At least that is one stot y, and if bears the earmarks of truth. The Price crowd claims that the Davis croud walked out of the conveic tion. The Price crowd, in control of tlte convention, voted to allow Judge Price to nama the detection, and lie named A. X. Reed, Georae MeQuey and C. K. Lew is. The Da vir. rnwd held a con vention then and elected O. J. Green leaf. Oliver Gilbert and W. J. Glovei. The Davis trowd claims that the Price crowd got to a lot of Democrats to help them, and that Judge Price him self took part in the convention, al though he lives in another county. This contest oetween the two delega Pons wili furnish th" basis for some po litical maneuvering before the opening of the eoi.aressional convention at Great Pond next week. Most of the other .candidates do not want to g. t mixed u; in the row tor fear of incur ring the enmity of the other delega tion, and the other delegation might get seated. The Kiowa delegation is nut large, but every vote will count. It is possible that both delegations may be seated and siven half a vote each. The Populist convention in the Sev enth district will meet at Hutchinson next Saturday, April 4. The chief ques tion before the convention will be whether it shall adjourn until April 9, the same time as tiie Demo, ratio con gressional convention at Dodge City, or go ahead and nominate a candidate for congress independent of the Democrats. It is finite possible that the Populists will name a candidate and then ask the Democrats to indorse him. leaving the question of which ticket he shall go on to be settled by the candidate and the committees. If the Pomilist ticket should be decided upon the ticket would have to go on the ballot by petition. Thus far there !s only one avowed candidate Tor the Populist norrdna tion. He is John F. Kan-en, an attorney of Lindsborg. McTnerson county. Among the Democratic candidates are M. F. L. lisle of Lamed. S,ini Amidon of TV lehlta. and C. K. Houghton of Jet more. Th action of the Democrats doubtless depends somewhat on the out come of the Republican convention at Great Bend, Roughton was the greatest "old sol dier" member of the ioal legislature, although he was a minority member! And he is the editor of the Jetmore Re publican, although he is a fusionlsr. He was born in North Carolina but was h I morn soldier. He was a Republican until lRftf. when he went off with the silver Republicans. Last fall he wa nominated for the legislature by the Democrats in a Republican county, the Populists indorsed him and be''w-.nu i elected. The Harvey day itif'-iiionn Great Rend C. K.

Dan Grimes, who ha' hoar, assistant bond clerk in the state treasury since the place was authorized by the legis lature two years ago, is very wroth. He has been let out of the treasury and appointed as assistant engineer at the state house heating plant. He wanted to hang on to his old job. Mr. Grimes is a brother of ex-Treasurer Frank Grimes. Treasurer Kelly wanted a berth for his own brother Jr.o. P. Kelly of Gardner, and to get it he had to got Grimes out. So Mr. Kelly secured the appointment of an assist ant engineer for th" state house heat ing piant and Friday he appointed Mr. Grimes to the place. Jt seems, however, that Grimes was not consulted beforehand. When he was told of the appointment he was verv wroth. He wanted to switch the appointment to hit? son. Clarence Grimes, who litis just been let out as elevator conductor at the state house, but Treasurer Kelly followed up the transfer of Mr. Grimes by appointing his own brother to the clerkship which Grimes' removal had vacated. There is a good deal of difference be tween the two jobs The pay is tiie same. fKCit a year, but the job in the treasury7 consists largely of clipping coupons, while the other job has to do with opeiating machinery, shoveling coal and the like. Clarence Grimes, by the way. has been the best elevator conductor tiie state house has had in a long while. He will be succeeded by W. R. Fisher. The various changes in the state house em ployes will be made on April 1. WILLIMSSAY STAY. Believed Revivals Will Re Con tinued a Week. It is not definitely known whether the revival being conducted by Kvaugelist Williams will continue another week or not. Last night a conference of the pastors and workers directly concerned in the nianaeement of the revival was held, and it was decided that it would perhaps be better to continue the meet ings. It was finally decided to leave the matter to the congregation Sunday night. If enough of those present ex prf,Sp themselves as a nxiotts to have the meetings continue they will be pro longed. Otherwise the meeting Sunday night will be the closing meeting of the series. Nearly forty conversions were made at the meeting last evening. This brings the total up to more than 42a. The meet ins for men only will be at 2:c0 Sunday afternoon. The regular Sunday morning service will be held tomorrow at: 10:S0 o'clock. ONLY TWICE A WEEK.

UilBEPiJpTEfl Country Submerged for Miles Around Greenville, 3'iss. Torrent 400 Yards Wide Pour ing Through Levee. LOSS OF LIVESTOCK. Hundreds of Horses, 3Iules,C'ows and Hogs Swept Away. Electric Light Plants Rendered L'seless by Flood. Greenville. Miss., March 28. The water continues to pour through the crevasse at La Grange, five miles south of this city at a fearful rate, and the surrounding country for miles is cov ered by two to five feet of water. The break has widened over night and i now about 400 yards wide. The wildest excitement prevailed here last night, and reports of loss of life were received from the Tuxedo and race track addi tions, but this morning no confirmation of these rumors are at. hand and it is believed that all persons living in these localities had sufficient warning to escape. The loss to live stock, however, will be enormous, as hundreds of horses, mules, cows and hogs wera swerit away. This morning the water submerge 1 the entire southe.rn part of the city. Protection levees are being built in the middle of Washington street, and a huge force of convicts and volunteers have the work in hand. The business portion of the town has so far escaped the encroachment of the Hood, but the water is rising rapidly. Last night the two electric light plants, located in the southern part of the city, were sub merged and before davlight the city wiis left in total darkness. This is a serious damage and will add to the dan ger the next few days. The water from the crevasse will flow into Fish lake and Black Bayou, the Sunflower river ami Deer creek. It will overflow the greater part of Washing ton and Sharkey counties and will en tirely submerge Issaquena county with small portions of Yazoo and Warren. Many of the streams into which it finds its way are already swollen and full from backwater and rains The Yazoo river, which is the final outlet for this water, is already backing up stream and overflowing the lower portion of Issaquena and Sharkey counties and as the flood is thus cut oft from its natural outlet it will necessarily accumulate and back uo in the upper country. The river is falling by reason of the crevasse and the force of the current is considerably lessened on the Arkansas side, where several weak places in the levee had been reported. ONLY SIX BLOCKS DRY. New Orleans. La., March 28. A spe cial from Greenville, Miss., to the State says: Only six blocks were above water at noon. All night the police with rescu ing parties were at work bringing peo ple from the flooded district, many houses being under water to a depth of several feet. From the great pinnita tions about the crevasse at La Grange comes reports of heart-rending scenes. Hundreds of negroes have been brought to Greenville for safety and the town is filled with stock taken from the plantations surrounding. This morning comes news of a threatened break in the great levee at Cat Fish Point, some 30 miles north of Greenville. The sit uation is serious. Business is at a standstill. Both electric light plants are surrounded by water. Many in dustries have shut down. STILL RISING. Xatehez, Miss., March IS. The steamer St. Joseph returned from the Atchafalayariverand brought in la4 head of stock and a large number of negroes. The gauge this morning showed a rise of two-tenths of a foot in the last 24 hours. iTHEY DIDN'T NEED WM Whisky Drummer lis Driven Out of Hoy t. Tfoyt, Kas.. March 2S. C. E. Kinne man. a representative of the King Dis tilling company of Kansas City, came to this town Friday to solicit orders for whisky, but he met with such a warm reception that he left town on the first train. He had been here before, and some of the temperance people of Hoyt were watching for his return. In the "reception committee" "w-ere F. H. Chase, W. K. Rippetoe, J. M. Wood worth. J. T. Manley, TV. M. Woodhead. M. X. Biglow. J. C. Hancock, S. C. Lyons and a. few others. They waited on Kinneman and told him if he did not leave at once he would wish he had. Kinneman hedged not to be roughly handled and promised to go as soon as a train came along, and also pre.ptseit never to return to Hoyt on a similar mission. The committee escorted hiir. to the train to sep that he went. "We don't wait for the women to take the initiative in such things as these," srid F. 11. Chase today. "The people of Hoyt don't want that sort of thirty around and we don't propose to have it. We are organizing now to convict two or three disreputable bootleggers who have been trying to do business here." Home from Philippines. Second Lieutenant S. B. Goodman ot the Philippine constabulary will return to America shortly after having served in the Philippine islands for a year anal a half. He was last stationed in Cat balogan on the island of Samar and comes direct from there. Mr. Goodman accompanied by his wife, sailed for America on March 22 on the trans. pacific linr: Freemont. Mrs. Goodman is a sister of Saul A. Joseoh. the Tope ka representative of the Santa Fe news service. Endows a Hospital. Laporte. Ind.. March 28. John Bar ker, of Michigan City, has endowed St. Anthony hospital which is to be built in that city byT giving $10,000. the condi tions being that the citizens subscribe $2fr.O00.

People of Kiowa County cited at Convention. Ex- According to late reports received In Topeka today, the double barrelled Re publican oonventicm in Kiowa county Friday afternoon came near being a serious affair. It is reported that John W. Davis, the anti-Price leader, would have been severely handled. A crowd broke into the room where Davis was, but Judge Price himself jumped on a table and quieted the crowd until Davis ha: 1 got out by another door. Davis has been in control of the party organization in Kiowa county for some time, but there is a revolt against him. Last fall he was the Republican candi date for representative, but he was de feated by a majority of 137 although Governor Bailey received a majority of over a0. A number of members of the county central committee have resigned because Davis controlled the committee. When the committee called a mass county convention for Friday afternoon after another had been called for to day by the anti-Davis crowd, which did not want, the delegation to go by de fault tc. Divis. a certain room was spec ified in which the convention would meet,-and a meeting of the county cen tral committee wats called in an adjoin ing room to precede the convention and "make arrangements." About a hun dred people gathered in the main hail, while there were just seven in the com mittee meeting, which was run by Mr. Davis. The crowd in the main hall waited for some time for the committee to "make arrangements," and then it was discovered that the seven men in the committee room had been going ahead and holding a convention of their own. The main convention was overwhelm ingly for Judge Price, and Price him self was there waiting a chance to make a. speech to thank the convention tor Its indorsement of him. When it was discovered that Davis had taken snap judgment on them, a number of the anti-Davis crowd be came infuriated. The floor leading into the committee room was broken down and the crowd poured in just as Davis was making a motion to adopt the re port of a committee, which was the winding up of the proceedings of the Davis "convention." Some of the anti Davis leaders were so infuriated that they wanted to do Davis personal In jury, and would have probably done so had not Judge Price leaped on a table and motioned the crowd back, asking thern to keep the peace. In the mean time Davis and his associates withdrew by another door. The hundred or so people who were left then organized the convention and elected three delegates to the Great Bend convention, instructing them for Judge Frice. Later some one thought of the possibility of a contest in seating the delegation, and after part of the crowd had left a paper was circulated certifying that the Price delegation was the "regular" delegation. and sixty eight persons present signed it. This is the story of the convention as it has come to H. J. Bone, secretary to Givernor Bailey. MAY BE FORT SILL Military Maneuvers Will Possi bly Leave Fort Riley. It is possible that the big encamp ment of the militia of the wester'.i states will not he held at Fort Rilev next fall after all. It may gu to Fort Sill. I. T. The Dick military law re cently passed by congress leaves the lo cation for the encampments optional with the war derartnient. but it has been generally understood that the mi litia of '.he western slates, those b tween the Mississippi and the moun tains, including Wyoming, Colorado an 1 New Mexico, would be mobilized at Fort Riley. Now the war department is consider ing the idea of holding the encampment at 'Fort Sill because of the w ide range which would be given for military oper ations there, and the adjutants general of the various states interested have re ceived inquiries as to their opinions in the matter. Adjutitnt Genera! Kelsey has voted in favor of Fort Sili. His reason is that it will give a better opportunity for if tilhry practice and that is especially needed by the Kansas Xational Guards. "Our Kansas batteries have never had anv practice with ball and shell." said Col. Kelsey today-, "and for that reason t cave it ms in v o.dni.ei Hint Fort Siil wouid be the better rdace for Die en campment, although Fort Riley js close at borne. It requires: a range of five miles for good artillery practice. and the quarters at. Fort Riley are too cramped, even for i egular field practice. It requires a lot of guards and s.-ou's on every occasion to keep people from getting in ranse of the guns. Such a thing would not be necessary at Fort Sill. "However, the war department may decide against Fort Sill anyway on ac count of the expense. It would proba bly cost the government considerably more to hold the encampment at. Fort Still than at ForP Riley. Cnder tiie new law the government pays, all the ex penses, including the transportation, and the encampment will last for not less than 15 clays." FARMER'S BAD BUTTER.

The little town of Sterling is showing the utmost hos pitality to the 2Z0 or more visitors min isters and their wives and lay mem bersand are making them feel that it is "good to be there." Bishop Cyrus Foss is presiding at the conference. He is inseparably connect ed with the interests of Methodism. lie is a son of the manse, his father hav ing been a Methodist itinerant. The bishop spent all but two of his pastoral years in New York city and Brooklyn, going from the regular pastorate in 1875 to the presidency of Wesleyan univer sity. His work as a bishop came to mm at the age of 46. In this responsible position he has been discriminating and prudent, always benign and kind in spirt. His famous tour around the world in 1S9S was taken in the interest of. the church missions. Mrs. Foss la the president of the Woman's Foreign Missionary society of the entire church. She was expected to accompany the bishop to Sterling, but was detained. The bishop led the impressive sacra mental service, which was lullowed by a conference organization and memo ries. Death has broken the ranks dur ing the past year. Reference to the de. ceased pastors was tenderly expressed. Their widows and children will receive annually hereafter an appropriation from the conference funds. There is an effort being made throughout Metho. dism to increase this fund to $S,000,00. The Friday morning session was oc cupied by the reports of the presiding ciders of the five districts in the con ference. The reports were all most en counrging and gratifying. They showed an increased number of eon- versions and accessions to the church over last year, and the financial re ports were especially encouraging. They showed a larger amount collected for missions than last year or any pre vious conference year. The showing was so good that it elicited words of rraise from Dr. Oldham, of New York, the general missionary secretary, anu from Bishop Foss. Required 10 Days to Make TJp a Jury from 350 Veniremen. Winfield, Kan., March 2S A jury was secured in the Coffelt murder trial just before noon today. It is composed of farmers, with the exception of two.who belong at Arkansas City. After noon the county attorney made his opening statement, in which he re cited the details of the murder of Santa Fe Detective Montgomery at his home in this city October 5, 1901, when a load of buckshot was fired through the window, killing him in stantly. He told about the trouble the One Hundred and One ranch had had with the Santa Fe railroad, of the fights that resulted and of Montgomery's having been sent down by the Santa Fe to in vestigate the matter. Arrests and trials followed, which stirred up a bit ter feeling between Montgomery and the Millers, proprietors of the ranch. He said the state would show that threats had been made by the Millers against Montgomery's life, that a con spiracy was entered into, which final ly led to O. "W. Coffelt, an employe of the ranch, killing Montgomery. This is Coffelt's third trial, the for mer two having resulted in hung juries. It has taken ten days to get a jury, for which a panel of 1150 had to be summoned. SP0RTIfGjlE7S. Joe Choynski, the Veteran, In Actire Training. Will Meet Jack O'Brien at Phil adelphia Monday.

Cooped up in a small room in the rear of the building at 712 Osage street, Thomas Sawyer, 76 years of age, and ill for many days, lies on a bed, bemoaning the fate that brought him to such straits. Sawyer is an old soldier of the civil war, having enlisted in the Irish Dra goons, Twenty-third Illinois infantry, at Mulligan, Jefferson county. Mo., in 1861. He was in the Lagonia charge near Springfield, Mo., in the same year, where he was seriously wounded. Sawyer formerly lived in Leaven worth.

Mrs. Mary Martin died last night at her home in Saline county. As her death had been expected for some time, the coffin in which the woman will be buried was purchased twenty-four hours before her death. Mrs. Martin was quite wealthy and leaves no near relatives. Cincinnati, March 2S. Joe Choynski. the noted heavyweight boxer, matched to fight Jack1 O'Brien in Philadelphia on Monday night, arrived in the city last evening from West Baden Springs and will leave today for Philadelphia, in which city he will put on the finish ing touches of his training work. Before leaving West Baden Springs yesterday Choynski did five miles on the road. He is in pretty good shape for the fight, despite the fact that he has not done any very hard training. "This thing of a man killing himself training is all a farce," remarked Joe last evening. "I have my own ideas about preparing for a fight and pay no attention to what other fighters do. I am confident that I can go six fast rounds with O'Brien Monday night without getting the least bit tired. When I fought Jack in Chicago recently I lost the decision, but it was not right. In the first place, I was feeling out of sorts when I entered the ring and could not do my best. 1 went in the ring with my hair parted like that of a football player, and O'Brien did not even spoil the part, so you can see how much dam age he did to me. I am feeling good this time, so you can look for better work on my part." Asked for his opinion of the Mr-Covern-Corbett fight, Choynski said: "J think Terry will win, but would not care to bet on the fiftht." Although J"c: has bc-en in active service for nearly 2 years, he does not look a day older than lie did ten years ago. "I am only :54," said the big Californian last night, "but I have been fighting so long that some peopie think that I must be an old man. 1 started in at the age of 1T. and that's why so many of the sports think I must be past 40. Only" yester day a gentleman at West Baden bet another that I was 42 years of age. When I told him that I was but 34 he seemed to think that I was trying to kid him." It is the intention of Choynski to stay at the righting game as long aa his health is good. When he retires he will build a eentlemen's hotel near his home in Lagrange, 111. He will install as one of the chief attractions a com plete gymnasium, and expects patron age from only the best people in and around Chicago. Choynski is one of the wealthiest boxers in the business. He never drinks liquor of any kind, and has not taken a drink of coffee or tea in months. "I have fought all the toughest fight, ers in America," said Joe, with a fimile, "but in all my experiences I neve tackled anything: as hard as trying to smoke a pipe. Smoking knocks me out every time. That's why you never see me up against the weed." Mrs. Choynski, who is a Cincinnati girl, is with her husband, and will re main in this city until Joe returns from Philadelphia. 7 v Munvon's Witch Hazel Soap is truly a Messing to those who are losing their hair and becoming bald.

SETTLEMENT FAR AWAY. Outlook for Ending Colorado Strike Is Not Good. Colorado Springs, Colo., March 28. The prospects for a settlement of the strike of smelter men in Colorado C ity and the miners in Cri-.iple Creek seems no brighter this morning than for some days past. Yesterday the officials ot the United States Reduction and Re fining company submitted a proposition to the officers of the Western Federa tion of Miners. It was satisfactory ex tent that it provided for the re-employment of the striking smelter men only as vacancies in the mills may occur. The federation demanded that a defi nite Ume be named when all shall bs. employed. Late at night a committee of mine owners and business men m Cripple Creek held a conference witn the mine officers and offered to give emplovment to those now working in the mills provided the strikers were re. instated and the strike ended at onca The conference lasted until 1 o'clock tiiis morning, but at mat rime ijenerai Manager McNeil of the United States comnany stated that he could not ac cept the proposition as he would nut desert his men. and to the committee's urging if he could not recede from his position, he replied he could not, as tha men now employed at the Standard mill will be retained as long as their services ai satisfactory.

Alfred Reeves, the secretary of the Empire City Trotting club, said: "The gentlemen who have sold their interest in the track are Hugh J. Grant, C. K. G. Billings. Frederick Gerken and Henry Morganthau. The interests were bought by six members, towit: James Rutler. Charles C. Lloyd. Edgar Bronk, Peter McDonnell, S. F. Paul and Thos. J. Brady. Brayton Ives continues with his original interests and was not a participant in the buying out of the minority stockholders. Although the price paid is not made public, it was stated that the four gentlemen received an amount equal to their original in vestment, together with interest from the date they became interested in the track. "The difference of opinion arose over the matter of increasing the capital stock at the Empire City Trotting club, which was originally only $5,000. At a. meeting last month Charles C. Lloyd offered a resolution to increase the cap ital stock of the Empire City Trotting c lub to $350,000. Although agreeable to the increase, Messrs. Billings, Grant and Gerken. who were at the meeting wanted instead to have a land corpora tion, with-a capital stock of $543,000, and to continue the Empire City Trotting club with its $3,000 capital stock. The majority voted, however, to have the trotting itself the main factor, and this evidently caused a little friction, which resulted in today's sale of stock. There are now seven stockholders in the cor poration, which will conduct the Em pire City track this season."

PENNSY AND LAFAYETTE May Resume Football Relations Nei Fall. Philadelphia. March 2S. There is a possibility- that the athletic relations between the University of Pennsvlvania and lafav ette which 'have been broken since P-D, will be resumed and that the two Penn sylvania institutions will meet on the gridiron next fall. It was learned from a prominent alum nus of Iifavette resident in this city that the overtures of the Fasten college had met with success and that the proposition to plav next fall had met with a favorable reception bv the Pennsylvania i-acuity Athletic committee upon Lafayette's rep resentation that the standard of athletic puritv had been raised. Manager V. Hohart Porter of the Penn sylvania football team was seen yesterday with regard to the rumor, and he refused either to affirm or deny that Penn would meet Lafayette. "The next year's sched ule" said he. "is almost complete, and It would be rather hard to work in another big game, such as one with Lafayette would surely be."

Local sporting men have settled down to an earn .-,t Uiscus s,n. of the approaching contest between Terrv McGoverr: ;,nd Yottne Corbett at San Francisco next Tuesday night. To careful and shrewd itidr.es of boxinsr the nrht is an even proposition. Some believe that it should be a toss up and take your pick.

It was found by a young- son of Mrs. X. Farnctt, of 71 Hancock street, Topeka, who captured and carried it home after a fctrussle. Some of the wounds its spines had made were so severe that the mother poulticed them. Soon one of the lad's buyers be-iaa to swell and became very painful. A physician dressed it, but tiie poison remained in the blond and the K.y soon b.-gan to break out with boils on his fae and lin k. "lie sutler-d a exeat deal." said his mother in tellina the story.

Pad So RAILROAD tlEVS. The Kansas City Southern Strike at Pittsburg. I'aiiroad Shops Are Not Safe Place for Visitors. WAR LI KE APPEAR ASCE Miners Are in Sympathy With the Strikers. Nonunion Jlen Guarded Behind Strong Stockades. A representative of the Chanute Tri bune was in Pittsbui'2, Kas., and visited the Kansas City Southern shops, the scene of the machinists' strike. In a. storv whit Ii was written back to hio j paper he says: I A very warlike appearance is pre j sented by the yards, w hich is net a safe place for a stranger to remain long, es- tie. dally in the evening, lest lie he inis I taken for one of the imported men and j be hustled off by the strikers' sympa j th inters. The machine shops, repair sheds, and a Aortion of the yards are enclosed by a solid ten-foot stockade, erected sine i the trouble as a protection to the om- i pany's property and men working inside. to the nonunion j There is nearly a mile of fence-like stockade, which is said to have cost the company some thing over $1.5'H. Within its wall3 about 7i nonunion men, or "scabs," as they are freely and bitterly called by the strikers and sympathizers, are i worked, hoarded ami lodged. They are not skilled workmen, out helpers, v nt forma and thus -with either the Gould have some little x permut e and are aoieine or tne Moffat road from Denver after a fashion to do repairing and keep form another transcontinental line. for a short duration the engines in run- I 1 mr.jr oruer. I hey are mostly ioreigu I ers, and never leave the sti-kade. for should the. y be taught in town thev woui i be sure to suffer bodily injury not from tiie railroad men. but from tht miners and other union men who syni pathiz" strongly with the strikers. In deed, it is said that the miners are be. ing restrained with difficulty from marchine- in a ho-'v to the K. C. 3. shops antl demolishing them, and ar j any moment S'anie hot-headed ones by a j few stirring words may precipitate ;v j v. aid break for the shops and a bloody I battle. The stockade is patroled day j land night by armed guards who have i I orders to let no one pass within or ho.d any conference with those at work in side. At ni;ht the guards are doubleel, and as a further la-ecaution electric ares have been strung along at regular intervals above the stockade. At night the scene at the shops presents a very vivid picture. "Within are the supping scabs tind the armed patrol oacinst slowlv back and forth, while without j are groups of men. women and children j diret ting a mert iless onslaught of jeer?, I mockery and ciei-reoatory remarks at those w ithin the inclosure.

The non-union men hav- i ing become terrified at the threats made against them are dropping out 1 daily and sneaking out of town. As yet j no clash has occurred between the fac- j j tions and it is probable that the knowl- edge of the 300 Winchesters stacked at j .1... a a.v, v,.. .r convenient intervals about the shops i together with the influence c.f the rail- road men who wish to avoid any riot ing will have much weight in suppress- ing an outbreak. p.ot.h parties are as firm as ever and a settlement is as far aw ay as it was when the strike was first inaugurated. Supplies for the non-union men have to be shir-peel in by the comp.any as noth ing can be purchased for them from the local merchants. The strikers on the net cssary t:t win th'nr cause. The ma chinists have been joined by several of their foreman and also the car men and painters and fher is h-trnng talk of "he teletrraohers walkintr out.

The new company will handle all of the freight and passenger busi ness that was formerly handled by the Santa Fe and will honor Santa Fe tick ets. The Santa Fe will still retain a voice in the management of the line, but the receipts will probably go to those interested in the new company. A TRANSCONTINENTAL LINE' P.eport of Consolidation of Two Utah Roads. Ogden, Utah, March 2S. Railroad of ficials today stated that the Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Railway arid Navigation company are to be con solidated with Manager Bancroft of the Oregon Short Line as president and E. E. Calvin of the Short Line as vice president and general manager. It is stated that the headepuarters of the combined road will be removed to Port land and the present headquarters of the Short Line at Salt Lake will be turned over to the Clai k road which company has purchased the line south of Salt Lake. Salt Lake, March .S.- "This report is news to us here," said General Superin tendent E. K. Calvin of the Oreeon Short Line when shown the Ogden dis patch stating- that the Oreeon Short Line and Oregon Railway and Naviga tion company were to be consolidated. "This is he first I have heard of such a report and I do not think it is true." General Manatrer Pancroft is out of town. The opinion seems to be een- eral among local railroad men that there is some foundation for the report both as regards the Union Pacific prop erties and the San Pedro, Senator Clark's road. The consolidation if ef fected, it is said, would undoubtedly be followed by the active pushing of the Clark road across lower Nevada to connect with that portion of the road aiready consolidated in southern Cali- TOO FAST. Western Roads Would Run Passen ger Trains Slower. Kansos City, March 28. A movement has been started anions the western railway managers to secure a general decrease in th- speed of the most Im portant passenger trains. Extremely heavy trartie, both freight and passen ger, with ery unfavorable climatic conditions made if. p-rae tically impossi ble for most Gf the western lines to run their trains on schedule time during the past fail and winter. The detention of freight trains caused the greatest loss to the railroads, but the pines imposed by the postoftiee de partment because of the failure of mail trains to make their schedules during the past six months amount to an enor mtius sum. As practically all the lines were in tiie same condition, none sufferer spec ially because of the detention of pas senger trains. Shippers sue when freight is delayed or damaged in tran sit, but r-assengt-rs cannot collect dam- fro m a railroad because its tram fails to arrive at its destination on schedule time. If the wishes of the managers of some roaeis can be carried out, there will h; a marked It ngthening of the running time of passenger trains in the sche dules which will be made for the spring and summer months. No road can af ford to run its trains slower between important points than its competitor -elo. It is epiite likely, in view of the records of the past six months, that all lines will e gree to run their through passent-er trains on slower schedules, somewhat approaching the time that can be made.

As soon ns the change can be mide the Shawnee miiLs at Third and Kansas fvf mio, will abandon the u.-e of stpam and wiil derive its pnwrr from electric motors driven from the Kdison eifM'tric works. A motor of i-hor?o powrr -will operate the mill machinery and on of 2?-iior.s power will he used for thn elevators. J. I. Sliollabarsr stated this morning that if the Shawnee mills find that lh 1 experiment is a success it is probable that the other biR flour mills of the city will alao adopt electricity instend of steam as the motive power for their immense es tablishments. The Shawnee mills is the only larfie flouring mill in the state which will use electricity and is one of the few in the whole country. The present boilers and engines of the Shawnee mills will be retained in position so that in case it should be desired to revert to .stt-am the company will be in a position to do so without mueh trouble or expen.sp. The only change which will be necessary in the present arrangements of the machinery is to connect the electric motors to the proper gearings. Kt'KAL HOI TE CHANGED. Agent Kulea Against a North Side Koad. Because tha "Parallel" road, running; east and west 4 miles north of Topekals in a perennial condition of unfitness for travel and at times becomes absolute ly impassable the rural mail service on it is to lie abandoned. Special Agent Mills of the postoffiee department went out to Menoken this afternoon to hold a meeting with the farmers living along; the road, who are protestinfr against the withdrawal of their service. The piece of road, altogether about two and one-half miles in length, that is to be abandoned is a part of the present rural delivery route No. 3 running- out of North Topeka. Special Aftent Mills has been at work about Topeka almost all winter revis ing the mail service and laying- out new mail routes, but this is the first time he has had occasion to withdraw the rural delivery from any locality on account of the bad condition of the roads. It is the policy of the postoffiee depart ment to favor localities which have Rood roads and rural routes are always laid out on the best roads first. The rule has not been very rifridly enforced but instructions have recently been given the department aetents to observe it closely in the future. Tjnless the eipht or ten families of farmers living; upon this particular line of road, known as the "Parallel" because it is laid out upon a surveyor's correction line, see fit to do so some extensive and per manent road improvement they will be forced to come to town after their mail instead of having it delivered to their doors. 31AKES 150 Y INSANE.

Karl Cle-ves of Sioux City, Iowa, was taken home from Janesville today in a de rnttnt' ii condition, t he result of a hazing to which he was subjected. He was a student at the Valentine School of Tel egraphy, and students are said to have taken him from his broading house, subjected him to rough treatment and then robbed him of $.",0. Cleves was so badly frightened that he attempted to break into several houses to escape the crowd which he said pursued hitrr. After he reached his boarding house he was unable to tell what had been done to him, but was in such fear of the students that he could not be induced to leave the house.

The plan to lay out a north and south railroad running through Topeka and into Pottawatomie and others of the counties northwest is about to be taken up in earnest by Topeka people. De spairing of interesting the Missouri Pa cific Pailroad company to the extent of ever getting the line built Major T. J. Anderson of the Commercial club and C. P. Bolmar, who has personally inter ested himself in the extension scheme, went to Atchison Friday to talk the matter over with Balle Waggener. the Missouri Pacific attorney. Mr. Wag gener has supported the plan in the past but has been unable to get Iris company to do anything. His advice is to call a meeting of the people inter ested and to so ahead with the organ ization of a local railroad company. With a franchise secured and a route surveyed there will be some possibility of interesting capital in it. Mr. Wag gener believes the road can be buiit that way, and regards the locality as one that can be profitably developed. The meeting of people interested in the railroad plan will be cailed for an early date. STATE CASE IS MA DE. Defense in Big Cattle Fraud Case Begins. In the district court the case against George Maris and Charles Wilson, cat tlemen of Jackson county, on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses is still occupying the atten tion of the court. The defendants in the case are charged with sellins a large bunch of cattle to the Elk Grove, Cattle company, of which William Van Orsdale was treasurer, for $13,000, with out having first paid a mortgage of about ST.ftoO on the cattle. The mort gage was held by a St. Joe bank, which attached the cattle and got its money, leaving the Durchasers in the lurch. The complaining witness in the case is J. W. Ferguson, although Van Ors dale is the principal witness for the prosecution. The transaction occurrea in 1899, and the first arrest of the de fendants was made in 19u0. The de. fense will endeavor to show that ths complainants were aware that the cattle were mortgaged and that they bought them with that understanding. The two men were convicted upon their first trial, but secured a new trial of their case. The case is one which has cre ated mueh interest in Jackson county, as most of the men involved are well known cattle dealers of that county. A considerable number of Holton aeorie are here, ami Charles Hayden, of Hol ton, is one of the attorneys for the de fense. Ex-County Attorney Aaron Jet more is here assisting in the prosecu tion. The case for the state was closed todai-. JOHNSON KEEPS THE CHILD Probata Court Decides That Parents Can't Molest Son. At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon in the probate court Judge W. K.

Six years ago Barnes was sentenced to the Missouri state penitentiary for some offense and his wife was left in poverty. Shortly after the father's in carceration the child was born, and the mother was forced to take it to a coun ty poor house. When it was four months old the baby was turned over to Johnson, whose wife is a sister of the little boy's mother and the uncle has since had him in his care although the mother contributed to his support for a short time.

According to the opinion of Attorney General Coleman, slot machines which give gum or peanuts, or weighing or music machines, do not come within the operation of the new slot machine law, but the law absolutely prohibits all ma chines in which there is any element of chance. This includes cigar machines which give one cigar for every nickel and sometimes two, five, ten or mot. There is an element of chance in thesu and so they come under the law The question may be raised that In many machines there is no element tt (hance the machine wins everything in the end.

(Additional Church Notices on Page 13) j PRESIDENT'S WIRE. Will Keep Kim Constantly ia Com- municatiou With Capital. Washington, March 28. When Presi dent Rousevelt leaves Washington for his tour of the west one of the tele graph wires leading- into the White House will be reserved for the, exclu sive duty of keenine him in direct and constant communication w ith the oill cers at tne capital w no win uuest affairs in his absence. No matter where the president may go in his search for game and recreation, he w ill nna on inquiry at the nearest telegraph station that he has a clear wire into the execu tive mansion. Within the last few months the 25 wires already in use at the White House were added to by two lines, with sets of duplex instruments. One wan made necessary in order to have an ex clusive wire for the safe transmission of the confidential cipher business between the executive oflice and the cable offi ces in New York, and the other was put in and reserved as the president's wire while the latter is absent from Washington. These additional wire:, completed what is probably one of the most remarkable telegraph and tele phone offices in the United States. It is all embraced in the eomoarativelv small room just west of that occupied by the president's private secretary, and is presided over bv Maior Beniamin F. Montgomery of the signal corps of me iimiv. in,? tatter was maue colOTitt of volunteers in the signal corps by President MeKinley during the Spanish war. and when the army was ict rganized was commissioned as a cap tain in the same corps. He was pro moted to be a maior this- week. Maior Montgomery is tin expert telegrapher, and has been on duty at the White House, in char;: of the receiving and transmission of confidential and per sonal messages for the presidents for n any years i.ast. An instance has yet to be recorded where he has permitted any imnortant information to leak out from his office. In addition to his pro fessional ability, Major Montgomery is a man cf culture. All the important news of the world, military, state and commercial, is cen tralized in the little office a few feet dis tant from that occupied by the presi dent. By a special arrangement with the two press associations the foreign and domestic news of interest is sent to the White House before it goes to any newspaper, and the numerous gov ernment wires and cables pick up the crumbs of information that escape the professional news gatherers. A telephone exchange was recently installed in the White House to supple ment the telegraph service and facili tate the prompt dispatch of private and government business. It consists of three separate trunk lines, with seven teen miles of exterior lines, giving direct wires to the eight executive departments-, the government printing office and ihe Congressional library. Connec tion is had also with the seven new sta tions in the different parts of the ex ecutive mansion, all of which are con trolled by the switchboard in the cen tral exchange of the teleeranh and cipher bureau. The small force of the White House havdng charge of the tele- j phone and telegraph wires is kept very busy, as may be judged from the fact that last year about 60,000 telegraph messages were handled, three-fourths of which were of a confidential nature and in the different cipher codes". One of the features of the telegraph room ip the old ouarters of the White House was a war map which gave more general information than could be found in a score of newspapers. Twelve inK territory o- o'Se of the twelve rri. cipal colony-holding pow ers. Capitals. colors were emia tfte lar"efit cities and the cities of com. mercial interest were indicated, as well as the principal coaling, docking and re pairing stations of the ports of the world, and points of strategic impor tance. .Submarine cables were shown in red lines, and the names of the trincl, pal termini were given, likewise the names of the chief places where foreign mails are regularly distributed. The Trans-Siberian railroad and nroiected and completed roads in China were shown, the spelling of .geographiu names being in all cases in accordance with decisions of the board of geo .tranhie names. On the same man were nlaced dis- tinctive flags cf the army and navv the names of commanders being borne on miniature nags J he cavalry, artillery and infantry ere represented by ap propriateiy colored flags, which also tout tne number of the regiment and the letter of the troop, battery or com pany. The location, name and type of each shin of the navy were given in the same manner. As the official re. ports were received by telegraph and mail the flags were moved from time to time so that the president was able to know at any moment by a glance in. the map the whereabouts of every ship of the navy and the position of each separate command of the army. Owing to the small quarters uf the present Ulcgraph office this map had to be dis pensed with. A PIG THAT KEEPS CLEAN. Makes His Toilet Every Morning Be fore Breakfast. Mr. Samuel marker of Loamsdale, 111., claims to have the most remark able pig in the country. It is the gen eral impression that a pig is not re markably careful about his personal appearance. In fact, "dirtier than a pig" is a time honored aphorism. But Mr. Marker's pig is different. Mr. Marker says that every morning his pet pig, which he has named "Beau Brummel" because of its tidy habits, will squeal until some one goes to it with a sponge and gives it a careful wash. Beau Brummel will even refuse to touch his morning meal, no matter how- hungry he is, until he has had his matutinal bath. Mr. Marker took the pig away from the rest of its kind when it was oniy a few days old and had it brought up on a bottle in a respectable Gordon collie family. The mamma collie, after a few dayis of deliberation, adopted the pig as a member of her family, and has worked earnestly to make it a good, obedient collie. Her efforts in this di rection have not been entirely success ful, but at least, with Mr. Marker's as sistance, she has helped materially in ref orming some of Beau Brummel's in herited attributes. Beau Brummel re fuses to wallow, like common pigs do, in a nasty puddle of water. He does not put both front feet into the trough and gulp up his food after the usual manner of his kind. Beau Brummel has raced around with the dogs until he has learned many of their ways, and he is about as good at driving tows as any of the collies. Mr. Marked often sends Beau down to the GOOD WORK QUICK Telephone 153 TOPEKA LAUNDRY CO. CO-OPERATIVE pasture at night to drive up the Marker family bossie, and he says Beau will scamper away to the meadow, pick the Marker cow out of a herd of twelve or fifteen cows, and drive the animal home as well as any of the collies can d. If th cow tries to go the wrong way. Beau rushes in front of her, squealing like a steam siren, and the bossie in dismay turns about and goes in the right direction. If squealing has no ef fect on the cow, then Beau flies at her and bites her ankles until the cow finally surrenders and consents to go peaceably home. Mr. Marker says that the crowning sorrow of Beau's other wise happy existence lies in the fact that he cannot bark like the collies can. He used to make frantic efforts in this direction, and always appeared inex pressibly shocked and grieved that his best attempts only resulted in dismal squeals. Finally he accepted the situation philosophically and Is now more con tented with his lot. Too much so, in fact, for of late he has fallen into the deg habit of baying at the moon, only Beau's bays are a series of remarkable squeals that are calculated to drive all thought of sleep far from the minds of all the neighbors who live in the vi cinity of the Marker homestead. Chi cago Tribune. FROSTY FOR GALLANT MAN. Gave Up His Seat, but the Roof Leaked. Water. In a certain trip of a North river ferryboat a middle-aged commuter may be seen nearly every evening hurrying into the forward part of the women's cabin and taking a seat, only to re linquish it with a bow and a smile to some pretty girl when the other seats are filled. So intent was he on a recent stormy evening watching for an attractive woman to whom he might offer the seat that he did not notice a leak in the roof of the cabin that was sprink ling his hat. Presently a stunning girl came with the crowd arid the gullant commuter arose and graciously bowed her into the seat. Pit, pat, came the rain drops on the woman's toque, and, frowning at the smiling gallant, she got up and pressed through the crowd. The commuter seemed puzzled, but he resumed his seat, again oblivious of the leak, and in a moment offered his place to another woman, whose smile of thanks vanished quickly as she set tled far back in the seat and a raindrop tumbled on her up-tilted nose. She, too, rose and moved away, and the crest fallen man again sank into the seat, while the other passengers began to titter. Once more he tried his little act of gallantry, offering his place this time to a middle-aged woman whose elab orate hat thus came under the increas ing stream from the leaky roof, and she lumped up quickly, looked daggers at the man and moved away. Still failing to observe the offending leak the commuter dropped into the seat and plunged into his evening pa per, when the explanation came in the wet blotches which the rain soon made on the newspaper, and the commuter joined in the laughter of his fellow pas sengers as he once more vacated the seat this time not offering the place to one of the fair sex.

Shields, known to all the rail road men as "Daddy" Shields, has worked for the Missouri Pacific rail road for almost, thirtv-seven vears, and durinir that time has had' but five months in "lay offs." "Daddy" Shields iormerly lived in Leavenworth, but Hiawatha has been his home for many years. He is a car repairer, and has done that work for the railroad for so lonsr that it is almost second nature t) him. He has worked ten and twelve years at a time without a single day of rest or vacation, though men in most every line of wot k think it absolutely necessary to take a week or two off each year. He works every day in the week, Sunday included. In his" thirty seven yirirs of continuous service, the railroad allowed him pay for one montn he was off, but durinsj his other .our months of vacation, he always lost his time."

Pit 4.1 EU FAILED TO CURE But the Faith, of the Dowieite Was Unshaken. White Plains, X. T., March Al though the appellate division has de-op-ied against the conviction of J. Lu-iip-r 1-ierson, the faith curist of Val naila. who was fined $300 for permitting h.s child to die from pneumonia with out medical attendance, the district at to: r:cy says he believes the evidence was sufficient to convict and will carry the aoe to the court of appeals. iieison is a believer in the Doivie fnip nd r.nt a Christian Scientist. He believes in the infallibility of prayer to cure all ills, and would not take medi cine m any circumstances. The rea son way prayers failed to cure his chud. he says, was because there was something lacking in himself and an error m the child which he could not set rid of. Fltoa KANSAS TO WALES. j Emporia Library to Be Duplicated in England. Emporia, Kan., March 2. Andrew Cam-pie has sent to Chailes Squires, the Emporia architect, for duplicate jpians of the college's Anderson Memor j 1 library. The College of Emporia's 1 new Siu.Oi'O library was given to the college by Andrew- Carnegie. Mr. Squlr-s' plans were the ones chosen by j Mr. Carnegie and they pleased him so j much that he wants the same pians for a library he is building in Wales. Considering t'n fact that Carnegie re views hundreds of library plans his i choice of the pians for the college li brary is no small compliment to Mr. Squires. Chambarlain Wants No Title.

Foundations for the walls of the new Brornic'n boiler works on Jefferson street between First and Second streets are in place and work on the new structure will proceed to its completion some time this summer. When complete this establishment wili probably cover f more ground than any plant in a sim- ilar line of business in Topeka. It i9 to be a low building 140 by 140 feet I square, and will in every detail be i adapted for the sort of work in which the plant is now engaged. The comple- i tion of the new building will amount practically to a tripling of the ground space covered. J. Bromich has about SGO.000 invested 1 m ms present establishment, which is the only boiler factory in Topeka, and proposes to spend $2ii.0U0 more during the present year. Later improvements, he estimates, will place the valuation of the establishment at somewhere near a hundred thousand dollars. He is very reticent about his building plans and did not want to discuss them for publication. He says he is bothered to death with eastern machinery adver tisers and says he does not want the advertising of his business with only j his present facilities as he has orders i for six months ahead piled up The Bromich plant will doutde its present working force of twenty men and will employ several of the more modern labor savins devices like the traveling crane, similar to the one in operation in the new Santa Fe shops. Where the work, ot moving a boiler and loading it upon a car now occupies six men a day the crane lifts and moves it an equal distance in ten minutes and uses onlv. fun men TPo li-cr south of' the present plant is covered witn tne litter of building- and heavy foundation walls are in place. In a few months the entire space will be covered with the iron roofed building and in a little longer time the machinery will be moved in. An excavation for the boilers used in compressing the air used in operating much of the machinery of the establish ment is beinsr finished at the front of the new- buildinp:. This will be about fifty feet square and is now heavily wailed. It wili be floored over while the bare earth will serve as the f.oor for the rest of the shop. The entire Bromich establishment will occupy half of the block between First and Second streets on Jefferson but is less the in creased size of the roof than the addi tional freedom to he given the work men that w iil add to the shop's capaci ty for work. Truman Wolf is superin tending the construction of the build- ing. Mr. Bromich has been occupied in J building up his present business for j the past thirty-two years and the buildmg now- occupied is the third one he has constructed for his plant. It is very low in the rear but this part of the roof w ill be elevated to a height of about 23 feet to conform with the front of the old building and to the specifi cations for the new one. T. L.

IT IS UP TO YOU. Wi 1 1 ilULhlt tiiUdlu uUi 630 Kansas Ave. BICE IS NAMED. Becomes General Storekeeper of Santa Fe. The rumor that N. M. Rice, store-! keeper of the Santa Fe coast lines, had been appointed general storekeeper ot the whoie system, with headquarters in Topeka, was confirmed to day by a cir cular received at the general offices. This appointment, which has much mystery about it. has been puzzling l'cal railroad men for the past two weeks. A shott time ago W. E. Hodges, generhl purchasing afrnt of the Santa Fe. abolished the position of general rtorekeeper, which was at that time occupied by A. F. Hilton, cf Tojwka, He then divided the work of the store, department between Mr. Hilton and Mi. Rice, putting the former m charge ot the lines east of Albuquerque and the latter in charge of the coast lines, and giving each of them the title of store keeper. This move was mysterious, but the climax came when it was rumored that the position of general storekeeper was to he re-created and siven to Mr. Rice. Some people think that Mf Hodges preferred Mr. Rice for the po sition, and took this means of getting rid of Mr. Hiiton. The circular which was received to day does not announce Mr. Rice's ap pointment, but that of W. O. Young quist as his successor. The circular is signed by N. M. Rice, "general store keeper." and is approved by W. B. Hodges, general purchasing agent This is sufficient evidence to convince the most skeptical that Mr. Rice's ap pointment is a fact, but the reason for the change Is yet a mystery. SANTA FE EARNINGS.

Two Hundred of Them Hise in Seats and Throw Things. THEY STOP THE SHOW. "McFadden's Kow of Flats" Was the Bill. Action Was Prearranged and Star Theater Selected, New York, March S. Last night two hundred Irishmen, whose feeling had been outraged by the performance of MeFadden's How o Flats," at thc Xew Star theater, rose in their seats in the theater at a signal and pelted the. performers with rotten tgs,s, decayed vegetables and fruit. The audience of over 2.010 was thrown into an uproar, and the actors were driven from the staRC The affair was the culmination oC series of attempts to bring the per formance of this play to an end and to stop forever the iuoduciion of stun plays. The disturbing element was scattered through the orchestra, bal cony and galleries of the theater, which is one of the largest in New York, fc'ome took the part of the players by howling their disdain at the original disturbers. In the uproar a policeman who was trying to preserve order dis covered and stamped out a burning rag in one of the aisles. Not for years has a play been rotten egged in New York city. The assertion was made that thvj allied Irish societies had determined to rout the actors burlesquing Irish chat acters and had arranged the Star the-, ater disturbance. Major Edward T. McCrystal, for-, merly of the Sixty-ninth, regiment, de clared openly and forcibly that New York Irishmen have been banded to gether to stop such performances. Five attests were made-.

T1 1 lOftl PROMISED TO MARRY II Ell. Sympathizing Jury Gives Julia Matheis $14,000. Detroit. March 2S. Julia Matheis, or Toledo, with her mother. Mrs. Rap. and sister Birdie Matheis, appeared in tire district court before Judge Swan as complainant in a breach of promise suit against Ernest Findlay, a member of the firm of Findlay Saunders, manufacturers' agents, 40 Kanter build ing. She was represented by Attorney O. S. Brumback, of Toledo, and Charles F. Delbridge. of Detroit. In appearance the Matheis girls are tall and slender, with blue eyes and prepossessing features. They appeared well bred and modest and were attired in dark tailor-made suits and big hats covered with ostrich plumes. During the ordeal of the morning, especially while the impassioned letters of Find lay were being read, the complainant was much affected and kept her eyes shielded by the broad brim of her hat. These letters were written by Find lay while employed for five years as traveling salesman for the II. S. Rob inson Shoe company of Detroit, the Mc intosh company of Springfield, Mass., and P. J. Smith Co., of Chicago. To read them, one would think the man was either madly in love or else was conducting a Hallie Erminie Rives campaign of some sort, yet no word wa uttered that would cast suspicion uoon the good name of Miss Matheis. In warm, impetuous language he called her his own dear, darling:, true Jule, his always fair and adorable seraph, his divine angel sweetheart, swearing in every other line that he would be true to her forevermore and thanking her for her lovalty to him during the five years he had monopolized her, al though she had many suitors at her beci;. According to the statement made by Miss Matheis and her mother and sis ter, Findlay made his last visit to hot in November, 1901, and in the follow ing month she read of his marriage to Miss May Thornburg, of Richmond, ind. I' indhty did not appear at the trial, as he had taken the precaution to tlt with his bride in good time. It was ascertained that he had left for the west last week and is probably now in Denver or Pueblo. Attorney Brumback paid a glowing tribute to the complainant, saying that she was blest with an excellent dispo sition, a good education, a respectable family, a clean reputation, and until the time of her humiliation over Find lay's conduct, great nersonal beauty. Judge Swan. In charging the jury, spoke of the ruthless unjust injury in flicted by the defendant, and his cow ardice in refusing to appear, and said that there has been "nothing in the trial to palliate his conduct. The iury were out over two hours and returned a verdict of S14.00O in favor of the compl'iinant. A number of Miss Matheis' frionds visited her at the Cadillac, while others hung around the court to congratulate her. THE DEED FOR THE DAY. Eggs Laid on Sunday Sold for Sup port of Church.

P., 1900," -The Cherubs,'" "She Stoops to Conquer." "Merry "Wives of Windsor." "Twelfth Night." "Our Boarding House. Comedy of Erroi3" and "The Henrietta." As the last two were sort of climaxes in the conjoined career, it may not be out of place to give some detail about their production. They were playing- in San Francisco when John McCullough, the tragedian, came to the comedians and said: "Why don't you play the two Dro mins in 'The Comedy of Lrrors?' Because It would be a physical im possibility," replied Itobson. "We would have to look alike. I am thin, graceful and beautiful. Crane is fat, ugly and staimpy." Crane -was a little testy at times and sure to resent any reflection on his per sonal appearance. "One of us be a liar!" said Crane, "and I'm too much of a gentleman to name his name." "Come, come, boys," said McCul lough. "If you have no respect for yourselves, remember your art." This was the word that always brought the two to their senses. MeCullough. knowing- the weakness of the two calmly said: "Come, laddies. I remember your art and the duty we all owe." j The firm did play It; and more than once, with Barton Hill, Marie Prescott, and the late Thomas W Keene in the cast, and achieved a fair success. The second representation of the Dromioa was at the Park theater, New York, j November 23, 1S79. under the manage merit of Henry K. Abbey. Boucicault predicted failure, and Abbey during the j rehearsals never encouraged with more than a dubious nod of his head. The audience flowed over the seating capac ity and into every nook and corner of the house. It was large. There was a stupefying dearth of either laughter or applause. After the last act Robson was seated in his dressing room rumin- ating on the mistake they had seem ingly made, when Crane glided in, look- ing unutterably sad and dejected. He I i leaned anainst the wall, and for five minutes or more the two glared hung i lily at one another, each vainly hoping 1 for a syllable of cheer or sympathy, j At length Robson said: "A failure!" "Of the most gigantic dimensions," i said Crane. The iirst man they met on leaving the theater was Henry E. Abbey. He was grinning from ear to ear "It's a go, i old fellows," he said. "Everybody likes I it, and the critics have gone wild." In a moment they met Petroleum V. Nas py. Never saw anything better in my life," he said. "Fame and fortune are t vour feet, my trim-built wherry.sup- i plt.-ating your ambient caresses. "This is no joke?" faltered Crane, i "Never w as more serious in my .life." "You saw the play?" j "Every scene of it." i "And you think it a success?" "Undoubtedly and emphatically." "Shall we adjourn to the Inn of mine host of the Garter and moisten?" said Crane. The adjournment was prompt and de i cisive. Sure enough, the newspapers on 1 the following morning were unanimous in their approval, and during the seven succeeding years the profits of the Comedy "of Errors," presented shabbi-'- lv and intermittently, aggregated $123, J G'.K). i It was this success that brought about the elaborate production of the "Com edy of Errors," as played in New York, a production that cost more than $25,000. In that piece and in "The Henrietta" the iirm of Robson Crane achieved its greatest success. The latter was a play of the times and the biggest kind of a go, though there were many predictions that it would be a dire failure. Branson Hovr ard was the foremost American dram j atist of the day, but he had just had a I notable failure (not an infrequent thing with all able dramatists'), and the cal- amity howlers affected even Crane and Robson. It was with much trepidation i that the piece was produced, and the j results are best shown by the fact that in sixty-eight weeks "The Henrietta" j drew $49i.S,rC. Altogether the play has made over $2,500,000. 1 This play terminated the partnership of Robson and Crane. It had lasted 1 twelve years without discordance or dis- agreement. j "David Harum" is said to owe its re markable success apart from William H. Crane's work in it, to the fact that 1 it sticks closely to the book from which i it is taken and furthermore that it is full of actual, concrete, real human na ture. It boasts of no exaggeration. All j of the people who move through its story are types every one has seen who has ever lived in a small town. No more humorous book than "David j Harum" was written in years and no more humorous play than "Da-vld 1 1 "s'a. i Name- Post Office-County OUR.

Merriment will reign at the Grand tonight, the occasion being the pre sentation of the best effort in play writing of that late successful author of American farce comedy, Mr. Charles H. Hoyt. entitled "A Trip to Chinatown." Singing, dancing and specialties that are announced as absolutely new, elab orate scenery, fetching costumes, ridicu lously funny scenes, bright, crisp dia logue, and a strong cast are the prin cipal features that go to make up an evening's entertainment that is claimed to be one of the most wholesome and amusing ever offered to the theater going public. The company includes William Kellar Mack, Jack Campbell. Frank Beamish, Percy Walling, Wil liam Sturgeon. John Dovle, Sylvia Starr, Kitty Wells, Nellie Sennett Mil ler. Molly Saylor, Zenie Blair and others. Mr. J. C. Lewis will make his bow to an audience at the Crawford tonight. He will be supported by a company in the rural farce comedy, "Si Plunkard." a four act comedy of New England farm life. During the action of the comedy a number of up to date special ties will be introduced by the big com pany of comedians. The comedy hav ing been rewritten this season will be an entirely new version of this success ful rural play, making it one of the strongest up to date farce comedies be fore the public. The company carries its own orchestra. "A Little Outcast" will be seen at the Crawford Sunday. It comes with a wealth of scenery and tons of electri cal appliances, for those bewildering ef fects which have been astonishing theater-goers. The play itself is a pretty, natural story, all warmth and grace and singular originality: the kind of play to captivate all sorts and condi tions of men and women. "York State Folks" is a simple tale of the people of an every day American village. It3 scene is one of those typi cal "up-state" towns of the Empire state, and so it is appropriately en titled "York State Folks," which comes to- the Grand Thursday. The play is a delightful departure from the conventional rural drama. There are no "hay-seeds" -or exhibits of farm machinery, and there is r:ot even a mortgage, neither is there a villain nor a woman with a story of wrong. There are no thrills, save those that stir the heart when love is winning its wonted triumphs over less worthy passions. There is no horse-play or buffoonery artificially contrived iWameslsQckaye f!

Each scene is true to life and original in conception. The chirping of crickets, the croaking of bull-frogs and the glow of the tire-flies in the beauti ful "Maple Lane" scene are examples of this phase of the dramatist's stage craft. All the little details of the pro duction have been given the most painstaking attention, and the result excels anything yet shown in rural drama. The dream scene of the finale, in which a vested boy choir is used, is one of the prettiest things yet devised for any play. The company is a very large one. in cluding some of the best known char acter actors on the American stage. Its members will all be seen in the roles they created in the original production, and it is an unusual tribute to the at tractive qualities of the play that the management has been able to hold to gether such a company. ENDS HER STAGE CAREER. Dorthy Morton's Husband Fred Con ger Falls Heir to $250,000. Wrhen Miss Dorothy Morton married Frederick Conger fifteen weeks ago in Boston she did not dream that he would soon take her "V- away from the glam- our of the footlights.

Savage and will now no longer take Dorothy Morton, the part of the stun ning widow in the "Prince of Pilsen." A cablegram did it all. But the cablegram contained news that would cause almost any one to break a reso lution, for it informed Frederick Conger that an uncle in England had just died and left him a fortune of $23'i,0'"h"). Mr. Conger arrjyed; In St. Louis Mon day, and for the first time since this stage couple were wed in realistic fash ion are they permitted to cast contracts and advance engagements to the winds and arrange plans for a honeymoon. Until recently Mr. Conger has been playing with the Louis Mann company. He canceled his engagement in Balti- Hilda Russell y in "York State Folks." more last week and started for St. Louis for a visit to his wife. After the performance at the Century, Miss Morton gave a little dinner to the members of the company in honor of her husband's visit. "It is too bad that you have to go back so soon," said one of the guests to Mr. Conger. "But I have a fancy that something will come along to change our luck," said the husband, who used to play the part of "Little Billee" in "Trilby." "Well, it is to be hoped so," urged the wife, whose winning ways captivate the man from Cincinnati (in the plays) and theater-goers as well. "I am sick and tired of Etage life," she said last night. hope that our fortune will be as large as my husband expects, so we may live in retirement. We will now take our delayed honey moon trip.". Mr. Conger said he had received no particulars with regard to the fortune. Miss Morton first played in Topeka in "The Fencing Master" several years ago and was here two seasons ago as the star of the Dorothy Morton Opera company.

Twelve new doctors were turned over to the world by the Kansas Medical col lege at its graduation exercises Friday night but the thing was done in the most orderly manner in order to give it all the justification possible. The lower floor of Crawford's opera house was filled with the friends of the college and acquaintances of the members of the graduating class, and they were en tertained by a very interesting pro gramme. At 11 o'clock the graduates, the faculty of the Medical cortege and a number of friends of the institution, including Dr S. W. Williston of Chi cago university, the Rev. M. B. Will iams and several representatives of the faculty of Washburn college, sat down to a banouet in the Throop hotei.

The address before the clas last night as given by President Norman Plass of Washburn college, the institu tion with which the Kansas Medical college expects to join hands in the near future. His was a discussion of the multifarious duties of the physician in the general social economy and a tribute to the faithfulness with which That duty is customarily discharged. Dr. Plass pave an account of the- prog ress made toward the scientific preven tion of disease and lauded the profes sion for its endeavor to keen the world healthy when it was to its direct inter est to have it sick. He spoke of the necessity of the broad development of the physician, not only mentally but. morally and religiously, for his largest usefulness to the world and saia: "Thrice blessed is the community whose physician is large in mind and i heart and soul." J Of the more material things which I confront the new physician and the (doctor of experience, Dr. O. P. Davi3 I spoke in making the raeulty address, j To the members of the class he urged patience and perseverance in their eh -sen profession as well as honorable con duct in their private walks. To the representatives of the. general public who occupied the seats of the opera house he asked assistance in securing legal protection for the medical profes sion and assistance in the business of suppressing the diseases which prey upon the people of the world. He spoke of the reluctance of the municipal and state governments to establish public hospitals and experimental laboratories for investigating causes of disease and methods of its suppression. Without mentioning names he cited the small pox hospital of Topeka as an example, stating that for the care of persons af fected with contagious diseases a stable was considered to be ample shelter. Represent ins the members of his class of graduates Frank E. Roberts, the valedictorian, made a short ad dress telling of the ambitions of his fellows to be a credit to their chosen profession. He expressed the gratitude of his class to the faculty for the care taken in their instruction and express ed their regrets al not having taken greater interest in their work. Roberts, besides having taken the honors of the class for work done, was one of the popular men of the school and received a good round of applause. The programme was opened hy an in strumental number by the Amphion Mandolin club which gave the 'Lut spiel Overture." Rev. Frank Ft. Mills paugh pronounced tho invocation and was followed by the Washburn quar tette composed of Messrs. Allen, Sut ton, McOee and Knowles. After the address bv Dr. Plass Miss Helen Me- Clintock gave a reading of one of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's poems. This was most enthusiastically received and Miss MoClintock was recalled. For her en core she grtve another negro dialect se lection. The next musical number was a harp solo by Mrs. F. F. Brown, which was also given an encore. Dr. J. C. MoClintock. president of the board of trustees, gave the sheepskin to the twelve graduates and pronounced the magic words which itiai them doc tors of medicine. Dr. J. K. Minnoy then mad" the public presentation of awards for scholarship to the members of the class who had excelled in the various studies in which they have been given instruction. Kach member of the class was given a pocket set of instru ments, consisting of all sot ts of knives for the sacrificafion of the human anat omy. The prizes were given as follows: Clyde D. Blake for the best examina tion in obstetrics, a poekt surgical set: Frank Roberts, ten dollars in money for the best essay upon original work: J. A. Overlander, George Minney and Dallas A.

Plates were laid for one hundred guests in the dining room of the Throop hotel, and all but a few of the seats were taken. The annual banuuet is complimentary to the graduating class, and the service at last night's spread was more than usually good. As toast master Dr. W. S. Lindsay is an un auestioned success, and in introducing the people whose names followed tht list of things to eat he said many c lever things about them. Opening the list of toasts, Dr. T. W. Peers spoke of "What the Kansas Medical College is Doing for its Students." Like every well regulated toast, this speech contained next to nothing with any bearing upon its subject, and it was followed by m round of laughter and hand clapping. "The Pilgrim's Progress" was de scribed in four episodes by some of the pilgrims. W. G. Bouse, class of '06, told of the beginning of the journey in a clever way, describing the troubles and humiliations of the first-year man. L M. Hinshaw. '0:. described the journey up the hill of difficulty, and told of thfc. ecstacy of its acquisition. C. B. Van Horn, of next year's graduating class, described the "Delectable Heights" from which the fourth-year man is sup posed to view the world, while W. R Frisbey, of the graduating class, closed the experiences from the viewpoint of the man who has finished the journey. His subject was "Beulah Land." For the Alumni Dr. -Mary V. Church extended the congratulations to the graduates in a very short but very original and c lever poem which was re ceived with much applause. Dr; B. D. Eastman in telling .Reminiscences" iti- dulged in a number of stories of the I sort appi-vciattra by the medical profes sion and altogether gave one of the best toasts of the evening. Dr. M. R. Mitch ell, who had a place on the programme, was absent, and the toastmaster called upon Dr. S. W. Williston of Chicago, who in former years has done much of assistance to the Kansas Medical college and still takes a personal interest in its affairs. Dr. D. M. Fisk of Washburn college responded briefly to a call from the toastmaster while Evangelist M. B. Williams, who was present by invita tion, responded at greater length. Mr. Williams is a doctor of medicine, al- tnougn now engaged m ministerial work alone. He said that if a man had to take his choice between a medical and a theological course of study in prepar ing for the ministry, he would recom mend the course in medicine every time. He said a minister without any knowl edge of the practical things of the world was a religious quack. Mr. Wil liams' toast was listened to very atten tively. Dr. R. S. Magee closed the business of the evening with a toast upon the pros pects for the future, and the banqueters adjourned "sine die." New Crawford Theater 8:i5 TONIGHT 8:, s J.

OUT OF J5EATEN PATH. ih If Governor Bailey Issues a Brand New I Arbor Day Proclamation. i Governor Bailey has issued his Arbor Day proclamation, naming Friday, April 24. as the day for tree planting. Arbor Day is not as necessary in the eastern part of the state as it once was. but tree planting is still a great neces sity in the west. People who have all the trees they want ought to improve Arbor Day by planting ornamental shrubbery or in improving their grounds. Governor Bailey's proclamation is as follows: "The groves were God's first temple It has become a custom in this prairie state to set "apart one day each year for the planting of trees. Its observance is fraught with sentiment and with use fulness. Trees are among nature's best contributions to man's enjoyment. Whether it be the forest stalwart, fur nishing lumber for shelter and masts for ships, or the elm in beautiful park or shad-' lane, a tree is a worthy ob. ject of our care and forethought. "As spring draws nigh and the sum mer sun shines warm, the welcome coolness of the shade tree and the per. fume and beauty of the fruit tree wil' he charmingly in evidence. "That the aged may plant trees by which their children may remmber them, that the young may open an ac count with the benedictions of the fu ture, I. W. J. Bailey, governor of the state of Kansas, do hereby proclaim Friday, the 24th day of April, l!to::, to be Arbor Day. and recommend that oi that day our people, and especially the students and school children, set out trees to adorn the roads and farm yards, the streets and lawns and public; grounds of our state."

It has happened in a great many cases that one member of a family has begun the use of the scientific food Orape-Nuts, and some of the other members have taken u; the food and while enjoying its delicious flavor have been cured of various ailments and dis eases which had sprung from the use of improper food. A lady of .St. Paul, Minn., gives an instance of this, rfhe says: "Our year and a half old baby has been changed by Grape-Nuts from an ill nourished child, suffering con stantly from colds and general weak ness to a lit subject for a baby food picture. "When we began to give Iter irape Nuts and milk we stopped all other foods and the improvement was so rap id that "we could note the change from week to week. Baby was made well and strong. "But when I suggested it to my hu.--band who had chronic dyspepsia terri bly he said T have dieted enough. A man mav as well die as to live on health foods.' But I persisted and one morning I served Grape-Nuts and cream to him. When he tasted it he was most agreeably surprised For the first time in months his miach and food agreed with each other and sine that time he has improved until he is a staunch advocate of this delicious food. "From our family the use of Orape Nuts spread to our friends and one in particular was very delicate and always sick. One day our physician. Dr. Bad, said to her, 'Go home and make it your business to eat Grare-Nuts. Kat it morning, noon and night.' She followed the doctor's order literally and fre quently made Grape-Nuts into pud dings and other dishes. The results have been a surprising gain in flesh and she is now-entireiy free of all ill ness, nervousness and is rapidly getting strong again." Name furnished by Fos tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There are scientific reasons why this food is as valuable to one member of the family as to another. It is perfect for athletes yet at the same time is pre digested and no stomach is so weak it will not relish the food. They Jeered Laborers Bossed by Mrs. Paul and Laughed at Her. Chieago, March 2S. People who were of the opinion that Mrs. A. Kmma gene Paul needed any side talks on he method of inspecting and cleaning th streets of the Nineteenth ward were shown their mistake today, when she personally arrested Richard Snell, 115 Ixioust street, and Daniel Blake, 1H.J Polk street, for interfering with het emi'loyes and making offensive re marks to her. She went before Justice Snbath and prosecuted her case against the defendants. While she was in charge of a squad of men at Clinton and Harrison streets Blake appeared and gave the lahorera the merry ha ha for permitting them selves to be bossed by a woman. "You fellows are a bunch of finks to let a woman give you orders." shoute; Biake. Getting no reply, he went to Mrs. Paul and expressed his opinion to her of men who would work for a wo ma!;. He was told not to interfere, but be came very abusive, it is said, and was joined by Snell, who is also accused of tising offensive language. A erowtt gathered, and Mrs. Paul became indig- "Now. my dear friends," she said advancing directly toward Blake, "I have stood about, all I care to, and an other word from either of you and I will arrest you both."

It was impossible to get a good view of the Mown, for the rooms were crowded at that time, but its distinsuiship.fr feature senied to be the amount of fafrsotins with which it was fashioned. The skirt was cut with many pores, deeply har ms:, long- and plain execjit for the ttg pottlng which fastened the seams. There was some beautiful cream laee on the bodice. The hat was, however, what attracted especial attention. It w as one of the big- shovel" shapes, fitting- closely to the hair behind, and "pi Dopinrr" out over the pompadour in front. It was white taffeta trimmed with quantities of pale blue ribbon with a Persian pattern in pale pink. The ribbon was cauttht in little tufts on the edge of the rim and fell in long stream ers to the waist behind. Mis. A. A.

"The cheese that wears the dainty mold, And melts like butter in the mouth; And whose eonsumntion oft is graced By such a pleasant aftertaste." We ooss"ss in cheese a cheap substi tute for meat, but if it is thus to become of value in modest and poor households it is of the greatest importance what varieties of cheese are bought with ihU end in view. If" cheese is to be eaten only for its flavor and served as a sa vory adjunct to the meal its nutritive vt.liie need not be considered of impor. tanee; in fact, the less nutriment it fur nishes tile better under these conditions. But when the desire is to get the tnoM. for the money you spend, in the form of blood, muscle and brain, then we should not pay for flavor unless at the same time we secure the proper amount of food value. The American and Dutch cheeses are recommended to those who w ish to have a cheap and nourishing substitute for meat, as they contain more nutriment than the same quantity of Parmesan, so much used on account of its flavor m cookery. .Stilton is one of the ponular cheeses also used in cookery, but it con tains no higher percentage than toe American, while it costs a very great deal more. THK DIOKSTiniLITY OF CHKKSK. Delicate stomachs always find heese an arthle o,' diet net easily disposed or. This is due to the fat contained in the cheese: this forms an impervious coat ing which resists the action of the diges tive Juices on the casein, if it does net prevent their access entirely. Chee-A must be reduced to a state of fine divi sion first in the mouth by thorough mas tication and not swallowed in lumps. Unless cheese is rich enough to melt l'Ke butter in the mouth, it seldom enters the stomach in suitable form for proper digestion. Dry, hard cheese is mot" easily pulverized than the soft and les liable to elude the teeth, and is there, fore more readily disposed of when it reaches the stomach. Hard cheese should, however, be grated before it is eaten, and the softer kinds serve a bet ter purpose when they are dissolved and mixed with other forms of food Th" practice of serving hard, crisp cracker or wafers with the rich, savory oh"esos has a. better reason than custom to rec ommend it, ns the cracker crumbs as sist in breaking- up and separating the cheese so that it is not swallowed in compact lum;is. As cheese undergoes (he ripening pro cess a small percentage of fatty acids is produced and these are irritating to weak stomachs. Some writers recom mend the addition of a small amount ot an alkali in the1 solution of the cheese to neutralize these and render them less harmful. When these cheeses are eaten with vegetable salads they ought to be digested without difficulty. The diffi culty of digesting cheese occurs only in the stomach: safely through this staRa it is absorhel as easily and completely as meat. The mode of cooking cheese, known as fondu, is one that is exceed ingly savory and nutritious. Jt is of the nature of a pudding and contains miik and eggs in the combination. The disn is cheap, convenient and wholesome and used very extensively abroad. L'HKKSE FOXDl". The true 01 thodox fondu is found in Switzerland and is made as follows: allow an egg for each person; add a thinl of their weight in grated cheese and half their weight in butter. Some rie, m it an advantage to leave out some of the whites. Peat the eggs without separating and add the cheese and but ter and seasoning 'of salt anil pepper. Cook until it thickens and pour it into a. deep dish. A little parsley may be added. CHKKPE SO TP. Take one and one-half cups of flour, one pint of rich milk or cream, four tables poonfuls of grated Parmesan cheese and four of butler, two eggs, three quarts of clear soup stock or broth and cayenne to taste. Pub the butter and Hour together to a paste, add the che se and milk or cream and seasoning; set over hot water and stir until till is mixed to a smooth paste; break in the two eggs, mix quiokiy and thoroughly and cook two minutes long er: then set aside to cool. When cok roll into balls about as large as wal nuts. Drop th:se in boiling water and cook gently atiout live minutes: put them into a soup tureen and pour the boiiing hot stock over them. Serve with finely grated Parmesan cheese in sepa rate dish. CHEES K C A X A?Ks. Cut some slices of bread quarter of an inch thick: trim off the crusts and then cut th" slices into strips one inch wide and three inches long. Pry them quick ly in deep hot fat until they are a deli cate brown: while hot sprinkle them with a little grated cheese, cayenne pep per and, salt. Put them in the oven mid serve as soon as the che"so is melted, c.arnish with finely chopped parsley or shi-i d a fillet of anchovy and decorate the top of canapes with the strips. OTT K K S F, PUDDI XG Take one cupful of finely chopped cheese, one cup of bread crumbs, one cup of milk, one egg, one level table spoonful of butter, half a. teaspoonfui of salt and dry mustard, mixed, and :i dash of cayenne. Arrange the cheese and bread crumbs in a baking dish in alternate layers. Beat the egg" and add to the milk with seasoning and pour ov"r these; dot the butter over the top. Let the dish stand a few minutes to soften the bread, then put in a good oven and bake fifteen minutes until the top is firm like a custard. Serve hot. BAKED CHEESE OMELET. Cut some strips of good rich cheese about a quarter of an inch thick; ar range them around the side of a but tered baking dish and cover the bottom of the dish with sifted browned bread crumbs; place thin slices of cheese over this and then four eggs, taking care not to break the latter; dust with salt and P"pper: then add another layer of grat ed cheese and cover with the browned breadcrumbs. Place a few lumps ot butter on ton and place the dish in the oven until the eggs are quite firm, but not hard; serve as hot as possible. "STROHL" CHEESE. Put six ounces of butter, six ounces of Hour, six ounces of grated Parmesan ("lees" and a dash of cayenne in a bowl and rub together until smooth; then add the yolks of three eggs and a tnblespoonful of good cra-tiii and work all well together. Poll this paste out very thin; cut into strips about five inches long: place on a baking sheet or tin and bak in a quick oven until light and dry. Place on a folded napkin and serve. CHEESE rt'FFS. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter and a cup of water itt a saucepan over the tire. Mix four table:;poonfuis of Hour I and four of grated cheese, half a tea- spoonful of salt and mnch of cayenne together and when the water boils stir in this mixture, stirring; rapidly all the time. Cook three minutes and then re move from the fire to cool. When cold add two egss, one at a time and un- j beaten. Beat the batter vigorously for i five minutes. Drop by teaspoonfuis onto j a buttered baking pan, leaving consider able space between each pufc, as they increase considerably in buik. Pake in a moderately hot oven from 20 to 23 i minutes, fclerve hot. Inquiries Answered Miss I B. 15. writes: I am a reader of your Table and Kitchen department and have tried some most excellent recipes. Will you kindly tell me why layer cake that rises ir. the oven will settle almost immediately after being- taken out? I have used different makes of the best baking powders, have tried soda, differ ent kinds of flour in greater and lesser ttuantity. stirring the cake a good wdihe before adding the baking- powder and but little after. I put ingredients to pether according to the best rules, but the result is invariably the same a cake so solid it would give a Fiji islander in digestion. Something must produce such a result, and if you will kindly tell me what it is I will be greatly indebted to you. HEAVY CAKES. Tt is just possible that you do not have your oven at right temperature and give vour cake sufficient time to bake. The test for layer cake is very simple and very sure. When it has been in th? oven sufficiently long to be baked, un der proper conoitions, press the surface in center of ake with tip of finger, if it feels firm to the touch and follows the finger back into place it is safe to con clude that it is done. It will also shrink from the pan when done. Layer cakes should not reo.uire more than 20 min utes The oven should be. hotter for lay er than loaf cake, but not hot enough to brown the cake until it has been in ten minutes. The cake will sometimes be heavy if the sugar and butter are not sufficiently well creamed; they should be partially liauefled. Cake should not lie too frequently looked at durins the baking or ovei door too quieklv or carelessly closed, aa a ru-h of cold air or a jar may cause it to settle if not well baked. For the same reason the cake should not bt moved while ba kins'. Sift all vour dry ingredients together that is. Hour, baking powder, etc. and do not add powder separately. We will give you a long-tried recipe i for a laver cake that never falls. HKTTEKCUP CAKE. Creim three. fourths of a cup of but tor w ith a cup of sugar until very, very light, then add the beaten yolks of thre 'eggs and beat again until you have a I smooth batter. Add half a cup of water i or milk do r.ot have these ice cold or your cake will be heavy. Sift flour, theo measure out two cuptuis; ana two ia-spoonful- of baking powder and slit again. Add Hour to cake and beat thor oughly. Then fold in th" whiles beaten to a. stiff -''(vim, and when thoroughly mixed turn into two layer tins and bake in a uick oven for twenty or twenty five minutes. After the batter is mixed do no: give it an extra stir. EXTIPE WHEAT PPEAD. Mrs. J. R. W. writes: Would vol.. kindly send me your best recipe for mnkirt"; entire wheat bread? Mix half a cake of compressed yest smooth in quarter of a cup of luke warm water. Put hr'f a teaspoonfui of salt and a ta blespoonful of butter in a bowl and pour over these a. cup of boil ing water, stir to dissolve the salt and when lukewarm add the yeast and ihett enough entile wheat llour to make 'x elrop batter. Lt-at for five, minutes or longer. until,-the batter is. full of bubbles. Cenver the bowl closely and set in a moderately warm place to rise until double its original bulk. Then beat m more flour, using about three curfuls altogether. Too much fieiur v ili make it close, and hard when baked, so that en tire wheat bread cannot be thoroughly kneaded. Some at this stage turn out out the dough and knead five minuter, and then mold into loaves. Others cut anil fold the dough in the luiv.!, using a flexible knife (we prefer the latter method) after the bread is placed in the pans; (over from the air and let rise until they nearly double their first bulk.

Pinkliam never violates the confidence thus entrusted to her, and although she ptrblisb.es thousands of U-.st itnonials from women who have been benefited by her advice and medicine, never in all her experience Juts she published such a letter without the lull consent, and often by special request of the writer. The reason Mrs. Piukham Is so amply qualified to give advice in cases of female ills is for the reason that over one hundred thousand cases come before her each year, some personally, others by mail, and. this has been going on for twenty years, day after clay, and day after day. Twenty years of constant success, think of the knowledge thus gained. Surely, women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such, experience, especially when it is absolutely free. .A5 an illiisfrat irtrt of the frood coming from finch ndvice we herewith publish two letters and portrait of Miss liaf tie Ietiroat, the reading of which should Rive every sick woman confidence in Mrs. PinVliam's ability to help them.

Another meaning more ex act, more definite, is that of finality. reaching the goal, that which is carried through to completion, which fulfills all the laws of its being, the purpose of its creation. He who is tier feet in this larger sense has got rid of all taint of or inclination to sin. Kvery one that has attained this ideal shall be lik- Christ. No other religion in the world has this to say. Rev. Dr. Sludge, Meth- odist. Worcester. Mass. GREATER THAN PORT OR SACK. I It is useless to talk of Christ's "idea! j prcexlstence." His word;; cannot be. tor- titled to convey this vague anel vacuous meaning, for if he had any preexistence at all it was ae-tttal and even etern.tl. His words therefore have a different import from the ptoverbs of the sages or the songs of the poets. The latter ate eloeiuent anel thiught inspiring, but the former are spiritual anel life giving-. In this we find the distinctive character istic of the teacliius' of Jesus, for no where else do we feel the power or re ceive the promise of an endless life. Rev. Dr. William M. Jones, Congrega tionaiist. St. Louis. Till! TRUE REMEDY. If all the employers of the world were ready to seek justice, to see what ought to be done, not to grasp to get all with out regard to the interest anel -rights of others, but would se5k justice that is, seek first the kingeieim of God and his righteousness and if the workers wouid seek Oe)d and his righteousness, not to seek to do as little work as possible for the largest pay, not to seek to evade or get ahead of competitions; if they would only follow the spirit and teaching: of Jesus, then ail the liitte-rness and injus ti e and wrong that lead to so much ot anarchy and soe-ial disturbance would be elone away in a month.

There are many things involved in the question of city ownership of the waterworks plant, but the one most prominently before the public just now is the new rate schedule which the water company proposes to introduce in case the city ownership plan is defeat ed at the. coming election. It is well that people should under stand exactly what they have to ex pect provided city ownership fails to carry. The water company's proposals may he divided into two parts: (1) the pro posed new rates; (2) the proposed changes in the franchise. 1. The proposed new rates. When President Charles F. Street of the water comapny was in Topeka discuss ing the new schedule with the city council, i said: "We are willing to adopt the rates made In the ordinance of 1S97, with a very few unimportant ex ceptions about which I am sure there will be no trouble agreeing." It is true that there are only a few exceptions, but those exceptions are decidedly im portant, as it now appears. The company refuses to meet the ordinance rates on Just the items where some cf the company's heaviest busi ness originates. The "average citizen" who contributes more to the water company than anyone else. Is slighted by the new rate schedule. The most marked instance of this kind is on the meter rate, which for the average con sumer is reduced only one-half a cent on each 100 gallons instead of one cent as required in the ordinance. Here are also a few other items wherein the com pany has failed to meet the rate set forth in the 1S97 rate ordinance: Ordinance Rate rate. offered. Barber shop, each addi tional chair $2.40 $2,50 Billiard fcaloon, each table 2.40 2.50 Cow 80 1,00 Forge 2.40 L'.DO Family residence T or S rooms 5.60 5.73 9 or 10 rooms 6.41) 6.50 11 or 1:.' rooms 7. 20 7.25 1.1 or IS rooms s.fif) 9. 00 17 or IS rooms 9.60 9.75 13 or 20 rooms 10.40 10.50 The rate schedule makes no provis ions for a cheap rate for washing the streets of the city. If the new schedule is adopted, the city will have to strug gle along in the future as it has in the past, with dirty streets. The only way to clean streets effectively is with wa ter ,and now the city can use only a very limited quantity. The officers of the water company say that it is im possible to allow the city to use as much water as it wants without put ting in a new curio, and this It does not propose to do, and consequently makes no low rate for the service. There is one rate proposition made which looks like a tempting bait. The hydrant rental is reduced from $40.66 and $50 a year to $40 a year. There 's a hook concealed in the bait, and To peka should beware. If Topeka accepts the $40 rate, it must also relinquish that provision of the franchise which says that: all hydrants over 200 in number shall not cost the city a cent, except the cost of putting them in. While the city would apparently make a saving of $2,673 in its hydrant rentals, it would really be losing money in the end, for there are now 300 hydrants in use, and all hydrants put in in the future will be without any cost whatever to the city, for rentals. 2. Proposals concerning a new fran chise. This is really the most danger ous ptrt of the proposed "concessions" of the water company. Space forbids but a mere mention of some of these dangers. The company offers to build exten sions to the "dry districts" whenever the council may direct; and then it in serts toward the end of its proposition, a little proviso that the revenue from the extension must be equal to 5 per cent of the cost of the extension. It is easy to see that this is equivalent to leaving it to the company to decide when to build the extension. It is also required that the city pay up the South Topeka hydrant rental claim, involving about $11,000. This Is a claim of doubtful validity, which is still pending In the courts. The proposal further says: "This offer is made with the understanding that amendments satisfactory to us shall be made to ordinance No. 400 un der which the company is now operat ing amending all ambiguous clauses." This is undoubtedly intend ed to refer more especially to the question of 1he validity of the franchise. This is the great point of ambiguity in the ordinance, and the proposals speci fy that the "amendments shall be sat isfactory to us," and 'us" is the Topeka water company. If the franchise pro visions are to be handed over to the water company to be doctored up, it is not difficult to imagine that all "am biguity" will be cleared, and when the smoke of battle Is cleared away, the company will be discovered with a per petual franchise in its possession, and the city of Topeka at its mercy for all time to come. The proposition looks like a clever ruse to induce the voters to decide in favor of giving the water company a new lease- of life by defeating the pro position at the coming election. LESSON OF A LIFE. "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" was written by Miss "Fannie" Crosby, whose Mrd birthday was celebrated this week. Like Helen Keller, Miss Crosby has demonstrated that blindness is not an insurmountable barrier to success. Wherever Christian hymns are sung, the name of "Fannie" Crosby is known and honored. Protestant churches throughtout the world sing the hymns of the "Blind Hymn Writer," for Miss Crosby has been blind since she was six i weeks old, when she lost her eyesight i through a fever. j She was born on March ti. 1S20, and in an Interview on her birthday she laughingly said that many persons had i thought this was her eighty-fourth birthday instead cf her eighty-third. "You know, no woman likes to be called older than her age. and so please say that I'm only eighty-three today, not i eighty-four," and she laughed as gayly as a girl, for despite her affliction and her years, she is as Wythe and opti mistic as any lass of seventeen. "I intend to live to be at least 106," she continued. "That was the age at which my grandmother died and I am so strong and hearty that I have no doubt I shall live as long as she did. I am glad to live, for I enjoy every minute of my life. God has given me great joys, and I find that I never think of my affliction unless someone men tions blindness." Miss Crosby was born in Putnam county, N. Y., and was educated at the New Y'ork Institute for the Blind, and then became a teacher there. It was while she was a teacher that she met Henry Clay. She was selected to wel come him with a poem. Her home is in Bridgeport, Conn., where she lives with her sister, Mrs. Caroline Rider. She Is visiting at the home of Ira X. Sankey, the evangelist, in Brooklyn. In 1858 she was married to AlexanderVan Alstyne.a blind musi cian, but has always been known as Fannie Crosby. Her husband is dead. What an example the life of Fannie Crosby holds for the men and women of the world. By her energy and tal ents she has made her life a success when nature had blocked her path in the most effective manner possible. At eighty-three the blind song writer is not ready to give up. If life is so sweet to her why should any one endowed with all of nature's gifts despair? WHY ENFORCE THE LAW. In a large number, perhaps a ma jority, of the larger towns of Kansas there is only one issue in the present; municipal campaign. It is "wet or dry." It is a question of the enforce ment of the prohibitory law. It must be acknowledged that it is by no means an easy task to enforce prohibition in some Kansas towns. Ex traordinary and heroic measures might perhaps be necessary. It would re. quire a Roosevelt, a Folk or a Jerome perhaps to enforce the law in Wichitu or Leavenworth, or some other towns. Whenever the Question of resubmis sion comes up its advocates invariably assert that the present state of prohi bition in Kansas is worse than licensed saloons would be, and this argument undoubtedly holds true in communities where no honest effort is made to en force the law. Not that Joints as they exist today are worse than "regulated" saloons would be, or that there is more liquor consumed than there would be if the traffic were "regulated," but whenever a definite statute is allowed to be openly violated with no attempt on the part of officials to punish the violators, it breeds a contempt for all law. That is one of the great evils of the non-enforcement of the prohibitory law in Kansas. It is breeding a class of citizens with no respect for the majesty of the law, and who will eventually be come full-fledged law-breakers, at least at heart, because they have no concep tion of good citizenship. For this rea son, if for no other, the prohibitory law ought to be rigidly enforced as long as it is on the statute books. And that is not the only one. The law against gambling Is violated to a greater extent, perhaps, than the one against liquor selling. Its violation is more demoralizing, too, because it is violated by those in authority. Men high in official position look with con tempt upon the anti-gambling law. They are in every branch of the gov ernment executive, legislative and ju dicial. It is a notorious fact that dur ing every legislature poker parties are freely patronized by legislators. Some times executive and judicial officers join in them men who have sworn to faithfully execute the laws of the state of Kansas yet every man who does it is guilty of a felony in the eyes of the law and if convicted would be placed in prison stripes in Lansing. The failure to enforce the law does not rest entirely at the doors of offi cials. It sometimes touches the pocket books of those who are professedly in favor of the law and then it becomes another matter. For instance, the building in which one of the largest wholesale liquor houses in central Kan sas is located ia owned by a prominent member of the First Methodist church of Topeka, or was a short time ago, at least. That liquor house has been for eight years the backbone of the viola tion of the prohibitory law in central and western Kansas. If it had been possible to close that one concern up the town of Salina would not now be in the grasp of its sixteen joints one for every 450 inhabitants. If there is a law of any kind it should either be enforced or repealed. The old proverb, "Righteousness exalteth a na tion, but sin is a reproach to any peo ple," is as true now as it was in Solomon's time. It pays in every way to be decent and law-abiding. It pays in dollars and cents. The mayor of Hutchinson a short time ago issued a statement showing that during eight years of li censed joints the city had been plunged into debt which had largely been wiped out in two years of law enforcement. He closed with these words: "Tax levies have been reduced and yet we voted one mill for a Carnegie library, increased electric lights from 34 to 46, added 21 additional water hy drants and two miles more water mains for the people. "We reduced the oolice force, and out city has been free from the criminal element. A large portion of the money formerly spent in saloons or lost 111 gambling has gone Into legitimate trade and our merchants all report increas ing business." There is much in this last sentence that is worthy of consideration from a strictly business standpoint. It io plainly logical that in a town with no saloons or gambling dens there would naturally be fewer deadbeats than it. towns where any considerable amount went for liquor and gambling instead of into grocery and dry goods stores. The Joints cf Salina may cost that town one of its best Institutions, and Topeka may profit by Salina's less if it becomes a clean city. Prof. T. W Roach is tne tiead of a business college there which averages 500 students a year, who bring $200 each to the town, a total of $100,000 a year. Iu a law and order meetins in Salina Wednesday night Prof. Roach made this statement; "I have built up a good school, but if ore-sent conditions continue In Salina. and Topeka succeeds in getting a cleaner city, as she is apt to do, in two years I will be there. I won't run my school under such a city government as we have here." THE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS. The prevalence of tuberculosis and the apparent helplessness of medical men to cope with the disease is fur nishing a wide field for research. The Baltimore American in discussing this dread disease insists upon the isolation of tuberculosis aatients. Advances made in the study of the disease within the past few years have greatly narrowed the lines of battle against tuberculosis. It is now recog nized by Dhysieians that the disease is infectious. Isolation of the infected per sons from the rest of the population must be the first step for the stamping out of the disease. This will prevent its spread, for it hag been pretty clearly established that tuberculosis is not hereditary, but is communicated fron one member of a family to another by personal contact. With the well-to-do or the wealthy, isolation is not a very important problem. It may be accom plished readily by sending the patient to a locality where he or she has plenty of pure dry air, wholesome food and a reasonable amount of exercise. With the poor, the case is different. IE they are to be taken from their tainted surroundings and are to cease to be come a menace to the health of their families, and finally to the cublic in general, they must be furnished by tho state a place of isolation. It has been suggested that forest re serves be utilized to give tuberculosis patients the necessary open-air treat ment. This would be a measure of se curity to persons who are free from the disease, and would be an advantage to the afflicted. If they are capable ot cure, it is in such surroundings that the cure must come. But this solution of the difficulty in dealing with con. sumptives is a considerable distance away. In the meantime, the afflicted themselves and their families and friends should be instructed in the proper methods of reducing the spread of infection to a minimum. Caution in the lives of the afflicted and thosa about them will do much to palliate the trouble. At the same time, decentrali zation of the population should be en-, couraged. City slums with their unsarv-. itary surroundings are fertile propa gating grounds for tuberculosis. Doing awai- with these slums will be a slow process ,and will depend finally upon profound chanaes in economic condi tions. But every inhabitant of a slum who can be induced to embrace tho saner life of country or suburb will aid in solving slum problems, including the treatment cf tuberculosis. better knowledge of the disease has given re newed hope to the afflicted, and may bring increased security to those who are free from the disease.

IE03I "PHYLLIS ISLE." Yellow beauty of the sand. Every new tide sends it streaming Up the edges of my land. And I welcome it, as. hounded Through the thickets of the sea, It comes, delicately rounded, Climbing up the banks to me. I remember, where the thunder Of the surges rolls afar, Where you see yon circling wonder Of white sea-gulls on the Bar, Rose the fairest: of fair islands. With Us fretted miles of coast. Whispering coves, and breezy highlands, Chanting what my soul loved most. Down the white keys musically Ran the linger.. of the tide, And the woixlland's inmost alley Caught the echoes and replied. All the island far and lonely. Until Phyllis made it smile Chanting Phyllis, and her only: Hence I calied it Phyllis Isle. Named it Phyllis, and the amber Shining waters, evermore. As they ran in stort to clamber Up the pel. tiles on the s-hore. And the wild sea-gulls, careening On the forelands, saw it go. Aral the hemlocks, long and leaning, Sighed it to the waves below. But the Death-King rode dividing His black squadrons for assault, And the clangor of their riding Reach the high and heavenly vault, And the awful thunder rumbled Through the blackness of the shore. Till the proinor.teiies crumbled And the island vas no more. Nothing of tho?e days remaining In the corridors of mind. Sine the passionate complaining Of the wave and of the wind Save a nice remote and yearning l-Yonr the hollows- of the sea. As the waste of sand returning Brings mv island home to me.

Evening Wisconsin: The fathers of the republic would have had little sympathy with the de mand for inflated official salaries which is so often heard at the present time. It was a notion of many of the best men in the good old times that the honor of public office was an offset for slender pecuniary compensation. They did not want official salaries to be set so high as to tempt men of mercenary instints to seek public positions for pri vate gain. Following is the text of a salary act which was passed by the legislature of the state of Franklin. The state of Franklin has had no place on the map for more than a hunderd years, and it may be worth while to explain that it was the first commonwealth erected west of the Alleghanies. Part of the territory which it included is now with in the boundaries of North Carolina; the rest constitutes the state of Tennes see. The state of Franklin was organ ized in 1785 by hardy settlers who claim ed that they were neglected by the government of North Carolina, and with John Sevier as governor, it had a stormy existence of something more than three years. Here is the act: Be it enacted by the general assem bly of the slate of Franklin, and it Is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that from the 1st day of January, 1788, the salaries of the officers of this commonwealth be as follows, to-wit: His excellency the governor, per an num. 1,000 deer skins. His honor the thief justice, 500 deer sfcins. The secretary of his excellency the governor, 500 raccoon skins. The treasurer of the state, 450 raccoon skins. Each county clerk. 300 beaver skins. Clerk of the house of commons, 200 raccoon skins. Member of the assembly, per diem, three raccoon skins. Justice's fee for signing a warrant, one muskrat skin. Constable, for serving a warrant, one mink skin. Enacted into a law the ISth day of October. 1787, under the great seal of the state. As the state of Franklin went out of existence on March 1, 37S8, this salary act was in force for only two months. Germany's Poor Investment. Buffalo News: It matters very little what is paid any of the creditors of Venezuela at the moment. All will be paid In full in time. But the investment of Ger many in practices that are detested by all other countries is the very worst that could be made. It is not to be forgotten by other nations that Ger many declines to stick to its agreement even when it gains nothing but a trifle of time by breach of it. Bad character in the individual is unfortunate enough, but is not to he compared with bad faith on the part of the government of a great nation. Everywhere in the world the German will be quickly made subject to hostile discrimination for half a dozen rea sons, not the least of them being that none can forecast the action of tlie Herman government if disagreement should arise. Mr. Bowen, representing Venezuela, says he is content with the exhibition of Germany if Germany is content with herseif. The feeling com mon among the other governments in interest is one of irritation that so small a thing should reveal so ungen erous a nature. If the manner of Germany in this case is persisted In for any period of length it must seriously affect German trade abroad, and it is certain that any idea of gaining popularity in South America must be abandoned for many years. Department of Commerce. Buffalo News: It is one of the anomalies of political arrangements in this country that we have but just organized, or rather cre ated, a department of commerce of cabinet rank. Every other country with no more than a small proportion of the volume of American commerce has a representative of it in the gov ernment, while the great nations rate it among the first in importance. And yet the current comment on the bill for the formation of this department is that it ha3 been hard to find things to put into its charge. That is a mistaken view. The strug gle has been to keep things out of its charge that properly belong there. Be cause som man has done well in the management of a particular bureau it has been assumed that the work of his branch would be less well done if un. der general control of a cabinet officer The idea expressed has been that the cabinet officer must be a colitician. It never seems to occur to the critics that such official is once in a while a states man, nor that there is no greater folly than to be perpetually talking about ixlitics as if the country needed only to eliminate that feature in order tu be saved. The country is to be saved by clean politics and in no other wa The endeavor to get things away from popular control is a mistake in a fres state. The true policy is to lift the general mass and not to get business away from Its influence. The usefulness of the department of commerce can hardly fail to be made manifest in a thousand ways soon after it is in operation. The Virginia school of statesmen were proud of their ignor ance cf commerce and gave it as little consideration as they could manage to restrict it to in the affairs of the coun try when they were in the ascendancy. The influence of that aristocratic school has delayed until this time the recog. nition long since due this immense in terest of the nation. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Rich food often results in a poor ap petite. Tight lacing will prevent things from going to waist. A cent in the hand is worth two on a rose bush. Even the burglar sometimes breaks into society. The deaf mute Is generally handy with his talk. Butter is seldom a strong point in favor of a boarding house. Lend, and the world laughs with you; borrow, and ycu borrow loan. The chronic kicker seems to think that the chief end of man is his feet. It's the unexpected that always hap pens, unless you are looking for trouble. Don't delude yourself with the belief that you can sneak into heaven on a free pass. The rich man should remember that he can't always right a wrong by writ ing a check. A fool and his money are soon parted, and it's much the same with a fool and his wife. Lots of girls who like French dress ing can't afford to have their gowns made in Paris. No, Maude, dear; a person who has been stung by a bee doesn't necessarily suffer from hives. A girl is seldom as pretty as she thinks she is, nor as hornelv as other girls think her. "This is certainly a bad sign." re marked the forger who had been de tected in his little game. The Poet "Some day I shall wake up to find myself famous." The Cynic "Oh, you'll wake up, all right." The fellow who proposes to a girl and is rejected should remember that two negatives are equal to an affirmative. Mr. BuggJns "Who tore the fiy-leaf out of this book?" George Washington Buggms "Father, I cannot tell a lie. I took it for my little kite." Wigwag "Success generally comes suddenly when it does come." Pokerton "That's right.

Dear Sir: I inclose herewith annual pass No. Q0S5 for self and family gt your justly celebrated road during the year 1SS7. I also return your photo graph and the letters you have written me during the past five years. Will you kindly return mine? And so this brief and beautiful exaerience is to end r.v.i each must go his own way hereafter. Alas! To you this letter may be easy, but it brings a pang to my heart which your letter of the 1st inst. can not wholly alleviate. Whenever hereafter you lock upon this tear-speckled pass will you not think of me? Remember that you have cast me from you, and that I am wan dering across the bleak aril wind swept plains, sadly enumerating the ties of my way to eternity. I do not say this to reproach you, for I fear that you care for another, and so we could not be happy asu-i together. But, oh. do you pause to ful'y comprehend the pang it costs me to return this pleasant faced little pass with its conditions on the bar k? should you see me even now. as I write these lines .turning away ever and anon, lay ing aside my trembling pen to go and sit up by the state and shudder ar. 1 weep, und cut out the fire with mv bitter tears, your heart would soft- ,1 and you would say: Return, oh. wan derer, return." You do not say in your letter that I have been false to you. or that I have ever grown cold. You sim ply say that it would be better for each to go his several ways, forget Ung that my several ways are passing away, passing away. It is all very well for you to taik about going your several ways. "ic-J have every facility for doing so. but with me it is different.

I do not ask much of you. but I do ask this as we separate for ever.

I have always spoken of you in the h.c--est terms, and hope you wilt do t.n same bv me. Life is short at the best, and it n especially so for those who l;av t walk. Walking has already short-;-l my life a great deal, and I wouMa t be surprised if the exposure and bu--ions of the year 1SS7 carried me o-T. leaving a ga.p in American literature that will look like a new cellar.

There has perhaps never been a more notable educational feat than Miss K'dier's truly marvelous achievement of settiim' into touch through the aid cf her devoted teacher and friend. Miss Stiib.van with the world about her. Left draf, dumb and blind by a mysterious illness at the age of nineteen months, she has in the last sixteen years learned to communicate with friends, to read, to statues by feeHntr, to speak French and German as fluently as Eng lish, and to write correcting: the chap ters in tills volume wlien her teacher read them to hcr by means of the iin eters. Simply, but with much feeling and with a surprising faculty for ex pression, she tells the story: how she learned the first word her emotions at Eroima: to Boston, meeting other children, bathintr in the ocean and soon through tho whole almost incredible record. The volume has aiso an illuminatiner study of Miss Keller by John Albert Mary and contains a selection of Miss Keller's letters to many well known people: Phillips Brooks.

MASON'S NEW BOOK. i "The Blue Goose Is Fascinating and Well Written. i One cf the volumes of good reading put on the market this year is "The Blue Goose," by Frank Lewis Xason. author of "To the End of the Trail. McCluro, Phillips Co., publishers. Mr. "ason's new book is a story of a bitr sold mine in Colorado. The "Blue Goose," which furnishes the title is a combined inn, saloon and gambling re- sort k-pt by a sly Frenchman for the purpose of reaping the wage of the toilers in the mine and stamp mill. Not content with his la-iie oroiits, Pierre, the proprietor, had a neat little labora tory in the basement where he removed the" cood gold from the ore stolen at the i, i.v employes. Among the principal characters are Elise. a 16-year-old r'l who is known as Pierre's daughter, but is not.

York with his sister. Grace, tempted by an offer from the yellow Chronicle. Howard's first visit to the Chronicle was an experience. He found chaos in the reporters' room. "I don't think I could do very much work out there," he said to Carson, the managing editor, and that worthy's re ply was with an assurance that the special writer should have a room to himself somewhere: "Oh, that's the boiler shop! The kind of work we do out there would come to a standstill if. we kept things quiet. The theory is that nothing here must be allowed to fall into a rut, and if men are allowed to work under normal con ditions their work becomes normal. We want abnormal work; we want men wlio are putting the news, the local matter, the features, the suburban stories into shape, to be under a pressure of ex citement, to be a bit rattled, a little in sane, in truth; fot- then they are likely to be seized with novel startling fan cies as to the manner and form their work should take." Carson went on: "Some men can't stand it; they break uown m hea.m. or so wholly insane. A little insanity isn't a bad thing. We've had lots of stunning features suggested by men we were nursing- along to keep 'em from g-oing wholly mad. But we don't sub ject our special and editorial writers to that strain." Concerning the editorials. Carson explained that the deadly com monplace was wanted. "That style," he said, "carries an air of profound wis dom to our class of readers." Howard got more light on the Chron icle's methods from Turnbill, one of ths star reporters. "Have you made a long ensagement with the ChrotTiicle?" asked Turnbill, at th dinner table. "iN'o length of engagement has been mentioned, Howard answered. j "A contract without a time limit?" "A contract?" I "I don't want to appear inquisitive, 1 but have you no contract?" "X-no. Our correspondence was tele- graphic." and he repeated the sense ot the message he had received from Car- SOO. Turnbill inverted the srlass from w hlch i he had been drinking and spilled its re maining drop of wine on the floor. "Not 1 worth that!" he said. I And this is the training school of some of our modern novelists. j A few- days ago the newspapers chron icled the death of Andrew C. Wheeler. better known as "Nym Crinkle," and up to that time his identity with "J. P. i lion bray" was never known save to his publishers. The statement came like k startling revelation. Mr. Wheeler had earned a just fame as "Xym Crinkle' and had retired from active newspaper work to a country home in Roc'elind county. New York. Then one of his friends, the editor of a New- York paper, asked him to Write some naners 1 on -Nature. Thus began the "Journey to Nature" sinned "J. P. M." The essay j were brought out in book form, and so i many inauiries came to the publishers that Mr. Wheeler told them to sav that i J P. lb was J. P. Mowbray, a retired VS all street broker. Then he wrote j "Tangled up in Beuiah Land" and cthei I Publishing firms began to write to Mr I Mow-bray for articles. Mr. Wheeler' j however, kept the secret of authorship land, shortly before his death com i Pleted another J. P. M. book.' "Th i Conquering of Kate." This storv wil be issued in two or three weeks. Ther i:s littie doubt now but that Mr. Wheeler will be remembered as "J P.

The volume i? made op of tn-e I novelettes. "Youth." "The Heart of Dark I iteRs" and "The End of the Tether." va-- veiions in Kne-lish are these three t.iles of (earth's waterwavs, so good, indeed that j very likely they will he popular. It used to be said that nothing was so enod for a i young writer as to read Stevenson. Now (one might almost sav instead, ,-fni c"oi j rad. The breath of the sea, the soirit of i adventure, the enthusiasm of vouth wh'rh liven in all men who look forward are in these stories. Mr. Conrad is a native cf Southern Poland a fact which makes his wonderful command of English more is tontshing. His father was a noted critic. and poet, and was. for a long time, edit lr i "f a patriotic review at Warsaw. The ton did not stay long at home. The sen claimed him and one can not doubt he went through all the dvnturs which h 1 now relates in his books.

The most dramatic situation in the book would be a difficult one to iiandle on the stage, but it is probable that the ingenuity of some manager can achieve even, an abduction with a carriage and pair at the church door on the eve of the wedding. Stranger things than this, have happened on the stage, and "Cra neycrow" without this episode would lose its Hamlet. The editor of Harper's Bazar has se cured the first serial which Miss Jose phine Dodge Daskam or Josephine Daskam, as she is now known has ever written. It was first destined to be called "The Autobiography of a Baby," then "The Biography of a Baby," but Miss Daskam finally decided to alter its construction and call it "The Memoirs of a Baby" instead, and as such it will appear in the April num ber cf the Bazar. The first installment deals with the amusinj perplexities of the prospective young mother. Miss Daskam'a irresistible humor seems to have found its keenest play in the new story. Seumas Mac-Mantis, through bis "Be witched Fiddle" and "Through the Turf Smoke." made the world familiar with the remantie and imaginative side of Irish cottager" life. II r. Maclianus continues faithful to the field which ha discovered, and which has proved so fruitful. He has just written a new pastoral and idylic novel, entitled "A Lad o" the O'Friels," which McClure Phillips Co. will bring out late iu March. The "lad" is a dreamy youth, fond of his chimney corner, and fond of the tales of folk-lore, superstitions and customs that are told when the fan ciful and garrulous sons of the soil gather around the peat fires. The ex periences of the "lad" serve as a mirror to reflect the Quaint life of the people who surround'him. Mr. Maclianus sees more understandingly than any itLhei. wiiter the poetic and romantic side of the Irish race, possibly because he is a romantic Irishman himself. "The Lad o' the O'Friel s" tells of an Ireland that nowhere else has appeared in fiction, and tells of it truly and vividly be cause it is written by a man whose whole life has been spent among the people he describes. Three years ago two young Ameri cans, accompanied by an Indian, start ed north from Lake Superior to reach Hudson Bay. For two months and a half they journeyed through a trackless wilderness of forest. Occasionally they came upon greet rivers, unknown even to the mar-makers. They lived on the giame and fish they shot or caught. Only twice in that long tramp did they meet human beings; hunting parties of Indians and half-breeds in both cases. tinaily they came out at a trading! post. There they found themselves at the center of a depotism so complete as I to be almost incredible, the despotism of the mighty Hudson Bay company, which, operating under a charter long expired, makes its own apsolute laws i for the management of its vast forests, J and holds control over the life and pro- 1 perty of every poison in the realm, sen- fencing men to death without form of trial, and carrying out the sentences in I secret. The travelers, having convinc- ed the company's men that they were i not there to trade with the Indians, were allowed to go on. At other posts which they visited they found the same conditions the factor being absolute au- i tocrat of everything in his district: "Lord of the middle, high and low jjus tice." One of the Americans was Stew art Edward White, the author. So struck was he with this survival of mediaeval conditions that, during the j return journey, he .mapped out a ro- j mantic story based on the capture and sentence of a free trader in the Hudson j Bay company's forests, picturing the j company's methods exactly as he found them. That trix was the genesis of "Conjuror's House," which was pub lished this month by McClure, Ph. lups Co. Ft jTTi. F"" F""X T" T P IT! fTJ in MM H? Mm iiM M Ik J W L...s Li W UU U U 'a r "51 fate?!

In his home city. Toledo.

Mr. Whitlock drop ped bis important case at once and a reunited family's happiness was his re ward. It is just this sort of thing which niak- s ail of his friends love him. and it suen oxi .eriertces that give him his hold on life when he comes to express th" thing in a story, i Not long tigo Mr. Clarence S.

PINT BOTTLES IN GAKItlSON Effect of Absence of a Canteen at Fort Liscum, Alaska. Capt. E. T. Wilson, artillery corps, commanding the post at Fort Liscum, Alaska, has made an interesting and significant report to the war depart i ment in regard to the operations of the anti-canteen law in that Quarter. 1 "The present regime," says Captain i Wilson, "is an era of blind drunks and i pint bottles in garrison. The present law- should be entitled an act to in- j T crease the value of real estate in the I vicinity of military posts for saloon J i purposes. There is always a small percentage of men in every company j who like liquor for liquor's sake The I J j question is whether they shall receive it j in moderate amounts under supervision. or be forced to go to a disreputable gin mill for it; whether the soldier shall ob tain a mild alcohol or red whisky, which j in Alaska runs 16 fights to a pint. Were i there no saloons within a hundred miles 1 should like to see the sale of all li l quor stopped both in canteens and our. sSuch a condition is an iridescent dream, i The object of a company commander is to promote temperance, to make his i men sober and keep them in good phys ical and moral health. I cannot do it now when Tom. Dick and Harry are calling to them to leave the garrison and get drunk. I believe firmly that the sale of beer in the canteen promotes temperance and sobriety. The sale of liquor is an evil; it is but a choice be i tween two. I never knew- of a man who started on the dow n hill path on ac count of the canteen. I base these i opinions not alone on experience at Fort Liscum. but at Fort Flagler and San Francisco. Men who get drunk get drunk on bad whisky. It turns their stomachs inside out, and they are laid up to recover from debauches and arc i not fit for duty. The health of the j liquor men is seriously impaired at i present. The table fare is very much i poorer. I have been in charge of three i post exchanges in which beer was soid and one where it was not. If a eom pany receies $1 per month per man f over and above its commissary savings it ran L-pen its mess un as cootl as need I he In all the exchanges that I have seen where beer was sold the profit on it was so larse that this amount was made on the beer alone, and articles in the store and lunch departments were put down to cost. At very isolated sta tions where there is no competition the store feature and lunch counter will pay a reasonable profit now. but the percentage of profit is greater thn it should be if it is desired to make any thing like SI ner month per man.

Judge Wll lian H. Mann, resenting what he be iieved to be a premeditated insult this afternoon, struck Senator Julian Bry ant of Richmond a stinging blow on the side of the head, and the senator would have fallen had he not been caught. Bryant charged Judge Mann with un fairness and quoted this line in Shakes peare; "I thought that all your wiles would end in feigned religious smooth hypo crisy." Judge Mann asked if Mr. Bryant in tended to imply that he would purpose ly be unfair. The Richmond senator, shaking his finger in Judge Mann's face, declared he meant all the lines implied, and was struck down as quickly as it was said. Later explanations and apologies were made and the two senators shook hands amid applause. MAY ELEVATE SKIRTS. Missouri JudgaLays Down tho Law for Muddy Weather. JopHn, Mo., March 28. It is not un lawful in Joplin for women to hoid 1 their skirts high enough to keep them j dry in muddy weather. That was the i decision rendered today in Judge Pot- ter's court. Miss Flo Williams had been j arrested for holding her skirts higher than is usual. She showed how she had elevated her skirts and explained to the court that her action had been i prompted by a desire to keep her skirts I out of the mud. She was discharged fi'om custody. i Miss Williams has lived for several years in Webb City, where she is in the j dressmaking business. She frequently j visits Joplin. She is said to be the j daughter of a Kansas pioneer who was' j once a millionaire, but later lost his for-' tune in speculation. SOFT COAL DEAKEK.

I' shall have a little talk with you later on. Don't try to dodge me. If you ?ro oft to any club or anything I'll follow you and bring you back. I think you know me, Benjamin I think you do." Mr. Bowser tried to freeze her with a glare, hut it was no go, ttnd he de scended the stairs to pay a visit to the pantry and stay his hunger with cold meat and bread and butter. The cat followed him down and seemed anxious to sympathize with him in his hour of bereavement, but he grabbed up the bread box and looked so murderous that she fjed in terror. He dallied over his eating as long as possible, realizing what yvas before him, but when he finally reached the sitting room Ne mesis sat there waiting to say: "Now, Benjamin Bowser, you sit down while I tell you a few things. What right have you to come home and stomp and bellow around like the bull of Bas ham when your wife has a headache?" "But why has she got a headache?" he queried.

No one has eaten it or thrown it at the cats. In filling up the furnace tonight you want to be careful and not make a noise. What was in that box you sent up this afternoon?" "It's a patent fuel."

"Then I will will "No, you won't leave the house, Ben jamin. You will stay right here and do as I tell you." And at midnight as she came down stairs to investigate he was still there. He was lying on the lounge fast asleep with the cat for his guardian, and there were undried tears on his cheeks as he slept and dreamed. (Copyright, 1303, by C. B. Lewis.) TRICKS OX OUTLAW TRACKS "A gag that was worked at the old Alexander island track was in the isin glass blinker scheme." said the old horseman. "A new horse coming aiong the track, with no. recent dope on hl3 performances, would be worked before a race in blinkers with pieces of smoky isinglass in the eye-holes. "Now a race horse wants to see what he is doing and where he is going, and when an animal rigged out with those isinglass blinkers got out onto the track and found that his vision was so ob scured that the path in front of him was all but dark, he'd begin to buck, jump and swerve and cut up broncho tricks calculated to convince the wisdom-packers of his rankness and all around unfitness for a race. "Such a conviction on the part of the wise ones would boost the horse's price away up, and then the animal would hop out, fitted with a pair of regular blinkers or none at all everything went at Alexander island and towrope his field. Two or three horses fitted with the isinglass blinkers took the infliction so much to heart during their warm ups and they stood on their heads and then rolled on their exercise boys. Boys couldn't be got to warm horses up that wore the things and that put the scheme on the blut. "The lead-shoe game, too, was often w-orked at Alexander island. An ani mal would be chucked into a race shod with the leaden things that made him run like a land crab trydng to sail against a typhoon, and on the next day he would go to the post wearing a cute little set of racing plates and run like a locoed maverick with14 bull burrs clinging to the under side of his taii. "They don't use the lead shoes any more, but right down to the present time, and on the legitimate tracks, horses occasionally run dogy races while wearing shoes only fit for Clydesdales and then go out and rrra like Hindoos a little later when they've got the racing plates on on the dais that they're meant. "But, for all the shrewdness of the owners and trainers of the outlaws, they were occasionally back-capped by the party of the second part the fellows who made it a business to get wise to what was doing for the purpose of wafting the coin in their own direction. These fellows wouldn't stop at anything short of a piece of gas pipe wrapped in a newspaper to turn the tables when they got on the scent. "During the last meeting at Old Plm lieo there was a valet for a crooked jockey who was about the busiest man at the tracks. He was the les between the ring and the paddock and nothing got away from him. "His nickname was Something Doing, because every7 time a real raw one went through it was observed that the valet invariably yanked down his bit and grinned a heap while, chewing on his straw. One day a stable hand who was sore for some reason or other on Some thing Doing overheard the valet and hl3 crooked employer, the jock, doing some talking in a stall. 'If you're to come home In 'front,' the valet said to the jock. 'I'll be down at the rail, by the judge's stand, as you go to the post. If the dough can't be got down at the right price and you're to snatch, I won't be at the rail, that's all.' "The sore stable hand who overheard this took it right off to some people that he knew and when the betting op ened on the race the valet was dogged by as determined a bunch of low fore heads as ever looked for the best of It. They formed a cordon around him and around every man in the ring that he talked to. "By post time they knew that the horse to be ridden by. the crooked jockey was meant to win from the bet ting operations set in motion by the valet. When they became convinced of this the fellows composed the cordon sent their thousands into the ring on the second choice, a horse that figured to .overwhelm everything In the race except this one to be ridden by the dshoncst jockey. "When the trumpet sounded from the .-4tand and the valet started to hustle from the betting ring to his position on the rail so as to indicate to his em plo?yr that the horse was to win, he vvas suddenly hemmed in by- the eight or ten fellows making up the cordon and hustled to a far corner of the bet ting ring. He resisted fiercely, but "he wasn't in a position to make any beef to the track police or to anybody else. "The gang surrounded him and kept him in the corner, jollying and joshing him good-naturedly so as to make the thing look all right to those watching it, until the horses had filed past the stand and taken their places at the post. Then, when it was too late for the valet to make the rail and thus tip the crooked jockey off they turned him loose. "The jockey snatched his mount, of course, and the second choice rolled home on the bit. It was an old-fashioned case of dog eat dog, and there were a whole lot of cases just like it on the turf not so many years ago. "In those days when the boys were going after the kirtish with blackjacks and sticking little silver loving knives into each other on the slightest provo cation, you could never know whether you'd make a winning or not until you had the silk-threaded papers tucked away in your kick, and I've seen some uncommonly fine frame-ups go wrong at toe last minut? on account of absent-mindedness or carelessness on the part of the manipulators. "One afternoon, at old Clifton, where some of the cunnin'est doings in the BESTED THE PAKSOX. A Casa Where the Wedding Ring Went on the Right Hand. A clerical correspondent of the London Express tells of a wedding ceremony in which he officiated and in his zeal for rubical observances laid himself open to a comical and crushing retort. "I was then curate of a small country parish in Somersetshire, and one day a couple presented themselves after due preliminaries for marriage in the village church. "All went well until the moment came when it is directed in the rubie. that the man shall place the ring upon the fourth finger of the woman's left hand, but then trouble began. The yokel, ap parently from nervousness or ignorance, laid hold of the right hand of his expec tant bride and placed the ring there resolutely. 'No,' I said, with quiet firmness, 'yot must put the ring on her left hand.' To this his only reply was a stolid stare Thinking he had not understood me, I re neated my words, but with no better effect. "With as much warmth and insistence as was justified by the occasion I now took firmer ground and said, 'If you do not put the ring on her left hand, I must stop the service.' "And then the climax came. With a complacent smile, that seemed to show his satisfaction at having for the mo ment 'bested' the parson the bridegroom settled the point for all time with the words, "Please, sir, she ain't got none!'

If Wy WJ WJ 77 IT 'if f fig I M EJtJLjlUJ rf"W" T'.: 'i i J ij I isr ial 'Say 9 A famous physician, in speaking of health, beauty, and a good figure, said "In my experience many American women have not the strength to take up outdoor sports, many lack the inclination for active physical exertion, household cares or office work they feel languid, tired and worn-out by the weaknesses so common to their sex. Some women have household duties which keep them shut up at home. For all such persons I should advise a few simple daily exercises, with light dumb bells, devoting only ten minutes of the day to it at first, and gradually increasing it until they find that their whole being is stimulated and strengthened by it. If the young girl or the matron is troubled at certain periods with irregularity, weakening drains, and backache perhaps faint and dizzy spells then she should take something medicina'lv to cor rect these faults. Nothing could be better than a prescription which Dr. R. V. Pierce used in his large practice for many years, in the diseases of women. This Favorite Prescription of Dr. Pierce has had an immense sale for the past thirty-six years, because of its uniform success in the cure of women's diseases, and because of the many thousand women who have attested to its merit. Being made entirely of extracts of roots and herbs, without alcohol, it is perfectly harmless to the most delicate system, and the best ready-to-hand remedy in the market." "To insure perfect health, every tissue, bone, nerve, tendon, or muscle should take from the blood certain materials for its nourishment and growth. Every organ must have its period of activity and of rest, so as to circulate the vital fluid in a proper manner to nourish every part. This is why I believe in advising every woman to take gentle exercise out of doors or indoors. If the functions are not regular or the pains are severe then she should at once use a reliable remedy." Mrs. A. BELYEA, of Rockland, New Brunsittick said "I suffered more than a year from nervousness and functional derangement. Had pains in tie left side of abdomen sll the time. Some days covtld hardly get aromtd. Kept my bed about half the time. I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. and got his advice for which I have ever been thankful. I began taking Favorite Prescription right away as he advised. It makes me sleep well at night which I never did before, and I feel rested. Can truthfully say Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has cured me." Mrs. O. O. SCRIPTURE, of Piescott, Arizona, said: "Words cannot express how grateful I am for what Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has done for me. For nearly ten years I was a great sufferer with ulceration and sickness peculiar to women. I doctored for several years got no better until I began taking the Prescription.' Now I can stand on my feet and work hard all day. I feel that life is worth living, and shall always recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines."

If the horse was to be pulled and saved for another day, the jock would know it by seeing the owner standing in the same place with his left arm thrown over the rail. "I know the man who was talking with the owner at the time the latter made by his hard break. My friend strolled over to the owner just before the horses were summoned to the post, and engaged him in conversation. "The owner had his right arm thrown over the rail at the time, but. becoming interested in the talk, he changed posi tion, and permitted his left arm to rest on the fence. The horses sailed out of the paddock gate and went to the post while he was still standing in that position and talking to my friend. His face blanched when he woke to the re alization of how he had done himself, but there was no getting out of the mess he had made for himself through his carelessness and his fondness of talking. 'This little conversation,' the owner remarked to the great mystification of my chum, 'sets me back just $13,000,' and then he strolled gloomily away. "He had bet heavily on his horse, and of course meant the animal to wdn, but the jock followed the signal just as he got it, and pulled his horse, to a stroll on the far turn. The jockey and his employer had a falling out when the boy was suspended a few- weeks later, and the jockey coughed up the story. "A clever but phony jockey, who was ruled off for life a few years ago for stringing along with and riding to the orders of a big western bookmaker, once cost a group of plunging outsiders who were paying him for information nearly half a hundred thousand dollars through a bit of pinhead carelessness. The boy was such a slippery one that he was never informed until the last minute before a race whether he was to ride to win or lose, and so had ar ranged with the outsiders, who were digging up for him bountifully, to let them know what his mounts were go ing to do by the way he wore his cap on the way to the barrier. "If his principal one of the heaviest operators in the St. Louis ring, where the thing happened was down and the horse was to win. the boy wore his cap wrongside foremost, with peak to the rear. If there was to be nothing doing on the horse, he wore his cap the ordi nary way. peak to the front. "One afternoon the gang of outsiders were all in on a huge pool to be bet on a big stake race. They felt pretty easy in their minds w-hen they saw their subsidized jock going to the post on the best horse in the race with his cap perched on his head the wrong way, and they knocked down the men in their way in their rush to get the big bundle down. "But the horse they bet on was beaten a sixteenth of a mile. It wasn't a double-cross on the joc key's part, but the block system hadn't worked,, that's all. Most jockeys have a habit of walking around the paddock between races with their caps wrong side fore most on their heads so that their eyes shall not be too heavily shaded and this kid had simply forgot, when he mount ed his horse, to twist his cap wdth the peak in front to indicate that he was going to take care of his horse and fetch him home in the ruck." Grand Rapids Herald. WANTED TO GO TO FRISCO. An Incident of Life in Alaska in the Pioneer Days. "In the pioneer days of Alaska," said Capt. J. S. Criter, an Alaskan pioneer. "San Francisco was the first place the natives ever heard of as associated with untold wonders. The person who had been to Frisco and back became the greatest man alive in the t'iwash esti mation. It was the ambition of every Indian, particularly the young men, to go to Frisco. "One time two missionaries gt int. a quarrel at Nua!at. and one kilir-t the other. At that time people had t- be taken to San Francisco for trial, and this missionary was arrested promptly and sent down there. Arr.org the witnesses who were taken along was a young Piwash Indian. "When he came back he wa3. of course, the lion of all the Indians in, that district, and he made their unso phisticated eyes butce. and aroused envy in every native breast by the tais he told of what, he had seen at FVisc. One young Indian became so enthusi. astic that, after thinking the matt't over, he decided to go to Frisco him self. 'Me go to Frisco," he took to dolar ing on every occasion. "Not long afterward this Indian way laid and killed a white man near Vn tral City. He made no secret cf i, and a delegation of miners took hirn in to custody. 'You kill wh'te man?' b was asked. 'Oh, yes: Me kill white Indian replied, eagerly. 'Why'." tht-y asked him. 'Oh. me kill white man; Frisco!' he replied. "That was all. The missionary hid killed a man and they had taken hin to Frisco, so this Indian had pimply killed his man so they would tk- turn to Frisco. "The miners concluded, though, that to take the Indian to Frisco would es tablish rather a danerous precedent in that counuy just then, so they tc him out in a boat one right and dis posed of him otherwise. No Indian rv-r killed a man in Alaska a2-aic with tr object in iew of getting a trip to Fris co."
