The Body of Pope Leo Rests in Basilica of St. Pefler's. Doors Opened to the Public and Thousands Enter. SAT UP ALL NIGHT To Make Sure of Gaining En trance to the Church. The Crush Began at Six O'clock and Was Terrific. Homo, July 23. Today the form of Leo XIII lay in state in the Basilica of Bt. Peter's, while thousands of persons from the ordinary walks of life filed past to iny their last tributes of love and veneration. The impressive cere monies of yesterday were viewed by only a favored few of the nubility, aristro- crats and the highest clergy, but today the doors were opened to the entire pub- j lie Many remained on the piazza throoeho.it the hot night in order to I sain a place at the head of the line, nv 6 o'clock this morning there was a crowd of several hundred which had In creased by 6 o'clock to several thous ands. Elaborate preparations had been made to puard against accidents in the crush. All converging streets wore cleared of vehicles, leaving them free for foot pas sengers, while six ambulance stations had been erected including one at the entrance to the piazza and another be side the door oi St. Peter's. Exactly at 6 o'clock the bells of the great cathedral began tolling mournful lya small bell beginning in the high notes and the chimes running down through the scale until a deep tvuss stroke had completed the minor chords. At the sound of the first bell two regi ments of Italian grenadiers marched smartly across the piazza to the stone Ftcps and soon the east portico swarm ed for the first time in years with Ital ian troops three hundred on the portico and 12 hundred surrounding the colon nades. The grenadiers wore long blue service coats anil peaked caps. They stood In double column at parade rest, the lines extending from the threshhol i of the church through a narrow gate way of a temporary wooden structure which was holding back the crowd. At Jive minutes after six the gate was op ened and the human tide began to flow In. The jam at the narrow entrance soon became terrific, threatening serious re sults to the struggling mass of half fainting women and children. Although the crowd was not extraordinarily large the steady movement into the lunnol llke enclosure made the pressure ter rific. Many women had their dresses or veils torn off and some were lifted, ex hausted, over the wooden enclosure and out of the crush. Fortunately, there were no serious accident and the ambu lances were not summoned. Within the church temporary railings had been erected to keep the people in a straight line leading directly to the bier. This was the center to which all eyes turned. The body lay on a cata falque ten feet high so that all could pee it. The body was sngntiy lneur.ea with me nean raiseu ami i i.g passing throng. 1 he visage had a chalky whiteness and appeared to be unnaturally shriveled. It was robed ii the lull vestments as the Roman pub lic knw the pontiff in life. Around the bier burned thirteen high candles, while on each side stood the Noble guards, motionless. Further back were kneeling priests and acolytes, softly in toning invocations. The crowd pushed against the Iron ,.11.. ..a -Vilr-Y ctrta a f a flirt -Vi M fiol trellace which separates the chapel from the main portion or the church, but those who expected to kiss th slippered feet were disappointed, as the of.u-inls had adopted preeautionar. tne body The Franciscan pontinciar measures so that the lower extremities ies stiil k t tne unceas refia;n of the body were half a yard back ot of intercession. At the hall of Pala ulc nuii feiuui'f,. All ranks and stations of life were represented in the throng. Many were working people. There also were groups of convent girls under the care of nuns, and of school boys headed by priests. Crowds continued to pass be fore the bier throughout the morning. At t;30 a. m. a solemn pontifical requiem mass was celebrated in St. Peter's for the repose of the soul of Leo XIII. The crowd was kept con stantly moving within the wooden bar riers, but over entrances were pro vided for those desiring to assist at the mass on the other side of the church. Several thousand people were present, although in so vast a church, capable of containing 70,000 persons, they ap peared to be a mere handful, especially as they were all standing. Cardinal Oreglia, dean of the sacred college, feels worn out owing to his un accustomed exertions. His life as a. cardinal was one of uninterrupted se renity, and he now practically bears the entire burden of the church and also the minute details of the Diepara tions for the obsequies and the con clave. Notwithstanding this he opened this morning's meetingof the congrega tion of cardinals. The number of those present today was augmented by the presence of two new arrivals. Cardinal Domenico Svampa, archbishop or Bologna, and Cardinal Giulio Boschi. archbishop of Ferrara. The former was especially warmly welcomed by his colleaeues, as being one of the most prominent members of the saore'd col lege and because he is mentioned anions those most likely to succeed Pope Leo.. It is being remarked that Cardinal Oreglia's responsibilities have softener his austerity, and that he is directing affairs with firmness but without harshness, showing the cardinals every consideration and giving constant proof of equanimity. During the hot hours of the day the crowd at St. Peter's decreased and great -Mfflculty was experienced in viewing the body. An extraordinarily significant element was introduced later in the morning by Italian soldiers entering the church, for the maintenance of order, in full uni form, wearing their caps and sidearms. They lined the aisles and stood two deep in front of the body itself until the whole church assumed in aspect almost more military than religious. The event, which was unprecedented, created wide spread comment. The presence of the soldiers was generally interpreted to mean another step towards a rap pronchement between the church and State as heretofore the Vatican h-is al ways maintained that it had a sufficient f.rce of soldiers to insure order within Ita own territory and the inference is drawn that the Vatican arid the govern ment have come to such an agreement that Italian troops may, durlnj, the life time of the next pope, be employed In and about St. Pefer's to preserve -ler during great ceremonies. Paris, July 23. The Figaro this morn ing calls attention to the fact that ihe English press received their first news of the death of the pope by way of New York through the medium of the Associated Press. MEETING OF THE CARDINALS. Kome, July 23. At this morning's meeting of the congregation of cardinals a committee consisting of Cardinals Casali. Macehi and Delia Volpe, was ap pointed to supervise all the arrange ments in connection with the conclave. Two doctors, Lappont and Pelagallo, a surgeon. Professor Cagiati and a drug gist "were appointed to attend the cardi nals while they are shut up. Finally, the cardinals appointed a committee to receive the case containing the papal treasure from the congrega tion of briefs, whose work is suspended until a new pope is elected, and to re ceive the papal seals from the apostolic chancellery. HOW NEWS AGF-NCIES WERE 'SCOOPED." Paris, July 23. This morning's Figaro says: It is a curious fact that it was from New York that the news of the death of the pope reached London. As soon as he was informed of the death of the pope the correspondent of the Asso ciated Pr"es at Home cabled New York by all of the various routes. One of these messages was sent by the French, Cable company from Brest to New York and arrived at its destination in a few seconds, in spite of the crowded condi- tion of all the lines starting at Rome and ending at New York. The New York ntliee of the Associated Press in its turn cabled the news to the Reutcr Agency in London, which had not yet heard of it. although there exists a di rect wire from Rome to London. The satisfaction of the Associated Press can be conceived. We understand it has cabled its congratulations and thanks to M. Berard. the under secretary of state for posts and telegraphs of France, and to the French Cable company. PRrZCKDRNT IS LACKING. London, July 23. The first mention of the pope's death occurred this afternoon when William Redmon, Irish National ist, asked if the Hag on the Victoria tower. Westminster, and those on the public buildings would be half masted out of respect to the late pope. Victor Cavendish, treasurer of the household, replying for the government, said there was no precedent but. the question ot ordering the half masting of the Hags on public buildings was now under con sideration. TAKEN TO ST. PETER'S. Ceremony of Conveying the Pope's Body from the Vatican. Rome, July 23. At 8 o'clock last even ing all was in readiness to take the body of the pope from the Vatican to the basilica of St. Peter's. The mourn ful procession gathered around the bier which was gently lifted by the Sediart who in the life of Leo had carried him in the Sedia Gestatoria. The dead pontiff was now clad in all the pomp of his holy office. About him had beeti placed the sacred robes used only w hen he celebrated a grand mass. The vest ments were those which he wore for the last time in life in the hall of the consistory when he confirmed the ap pointments of Archbishops Farley of New York and Quigley of Chicago, on June 25 last. The golden mitre, the gilded steel, the white cope, the red chasuble, the pontifical pallium and the papal tunic all were there. Nothing that was emblematic of the power wielded by the dead man for more than a quarter of a century and for cen turies by his predecessors had been omitted. Leading the procession as it passed out of the throne room came the grooms carrying lighted torches. i Behind them, walking with measured tread were tnR aRe(J mace bearers am: other domestics of the paral house hold, 'lhe picket of the noble guard and all the ciei gy of the Vatican, wear ing their surplices, followed. Immedi ately in front of the bier the pontifical I silver cross was neid alott. Behind the bier came the three nephews of the late pope, Counts Ricardo and Camillo Pecci and Count Canarliu. The United 1 ptat.es was represented in the proces-

sion by Monsignor Thomas Kennedy. I rector or tne American college.

Alter the cardinals came the whole diplomatic body accredited to the Vatican and the representatives of the Knights of Malta. The latter were followed by the marshal of the conclave. Prince Chigi. the master or the holy hospice. Prince Ruspoli and the commander of the Noble guards. Prince Rospigliosi, all in magnificent uniforms. Then came the prelates oE the chamber and knights of the cape and sword in their robe. The Noble and Swiss nalatinc guards brought up the rear. No monarch was ever followed to the tomb by a more Imposing array led by the cardinals and prelates and clergy reciting prayers and psalms for the dead as they slowly entered the sistine chape! where the chapter and clergy of St. Peters awaited the orocession. The latter formally received and took pos session of the body. The torch mace and cross bearers started forward, giving an opportunity to the chapter to take up a position immediately preceding the bier. The final stage of bearing "the prison er of the Vatican" to his resting place then commenced. From the sistine chapel the procession wound out around the loggia, immortal ized by Raphael, encircled the court oC San Danaso and descended the private staircase, still chanting into the basilica. The moment the flaring torches, which still led the cortege entered St. Peter, the choir which was waiting there commenced to sing in sorrowful cadence "Libera De Domine." Monsignor Car cani, the canon of St. Peter's, solemn-, sprinkled holy water over Leo's bouv and pronounced absolution. As it was borne across the threshhold the cathe dral choir, still singing took the lead of the now lengthy procession. The intense silence that prevailed was broken only by the chanting that echoed and re echoed from the huge dome and desert ed aisles of the chapels as the body was borne down the nave to the chapel of the Sacrament. There candles burned bright. At this chappelle ardente the body was reverently stretched behind the iron gates and two members of the noble guard took up position on either side of the birr. The procession then reformed and returned to the vaticpn. leaving the body of Leo XIII in the greatest church in the world, alone, ex- BOLIVARJALLS. President Castro's Forces Under EIras Capture the City After Fiftj-two Hours of Des perate Fighting.' CARNAGE WAS AWFUL. The Jail and the Capitol Were Centres of Battle. Last Representative Rebel Has Been Taken Prisoner. Soledad, Venezuela, Tuesday, July 21. By boat from Ciudad Bolivar.) Ciu dad Bolivar was captured at 11 o'clock last night, after 52 hours of a desperate struggle and horrible carnage, during which great courage was shown on both sides. The jail and the capitol were the centers of the most severe fighting and many men were killed or wounded there. When those places were captured only a few blocks behind the capitol remained to be taken. At midnight the fusillade ceased and the silence of death reigned all the rest of the night over the city. At five in the morning the correspon dent of the Associated Press followed General Rivas, the commander of the government troops, who met General Gomez, the Venezuelan commander-in-chief, near the capitol and confirmed the announcement that the capitol, the jail and all the rest of the city were in the hands of the government soldiers. General Gomez informed the correspon dent that the resistance at the capitol had been of a nature worthy of a better cause, that each yard of rampart was covered by the dead, and that General Nicolas Rolando, the last representa tive of the revolution, and his two lieu tenant generals. Pablo and Guzzman. and General Vasque had been taken prisoners. No adequate idea can be cabled of the scene which Ciudad Bolivar presents. The city appears to have been swept by a cyclone, accompanied by a conflagra tion. FIND A TREASURE. Southern Negroes Locate Cannon Full of Money. Lafayette, La., July 23. Two negroes appeared at the bank of Lafayette to day and attempted to negotiate a large quantity of Spanish gold and silver coin, recently found by them at the mouth of the Vermilion river. The negroes gave a minute account of the treasure, and while at first President Girard considered the matter a hoax, close questioning only confirmed the apparent truthfulness of the story, which, if verified, will prove beyond doubt one of the richest and most re markable finds of treasure made in this country. The negroes say, a few days ago.while fishing in Vermilion bay, they found, in an inlet, 6 feet deep, an immense, old fashioned cannon, tilled with gold and silver coin. They refused to tell the ex act location. One of the negroes esti mates the value of the coin, which com pletely filled the cannon at $100,000. As the negroes failed to produce any coin, Mr. Girard would not negotiate, but advised them to bring some of the money to the bank and submit it to test. This they promised to do and left without giving further information. The story revives the tradition of Lafitte and his famous bard of corsairs plundering Spanish treasure ships in the gulf and hiding the booty along the coast, or, possibly, hotly chased by war ships, pitching the cannon overboard in ome obscure nook for future recovery. Hundreds of people throughout south Louisiana believe that hidden treasure may be found on the coast, and even in the interior. Excavations attest the con viction of many that great wealth has been stored away by, the famous old sea robbers, and only awaits some lucky finder. The negroes' find, if true, will confirm the romantic stories and multiply without number seekers after ready-made fortunes. puffsYf SMOKE Have Been Emitted by the Souffriere Since July 19. Kingston. Island of St. Vincent, July 93 The Soufriere volcano has been slightly agitated since July 19, emitting puffs intermittently which cause elec trified clouds and low rumblings. A se vere earthquake shock was felt at 1:40 a. m. Tuesday, accompanied by a sub terranean sound of cracking, which shook the buildings here and threw the people into a state of consternation, fearing that a disastrous phenomenon would follow this earthquake similar to that of July 17. 1902. which preceded the eruption of September 3, 1902.

Cut Off Ten Months. Chicago. July 23. Two military prisoners. Privates Wilson and Long, knocked their guard senseless with his own gun and tied to the country, evading the patrols sent to retak" them. The men naa yet ten mourns of an eighteen months sentence to serve. cept for the faithful guard and peni tentiaries whose prayers could be heard in the immediate vicinity of the chapel of the Sacrament. Throughout the re mainder of the vast basilica silence reigned. The body of the dead pope rests on the high catafalque with his slipered feet protruding through the gates to be kissed by the faithful when they will be admitted to the chapel. WILL TRY BERT COLBY Is Charged With the Murder of George Montgomery. A dispatch from Guthrie, Okla., states that Bert Colby, in jail at Wa tonga, Blaine county, for horse stealing-, was arrested on a territorial warrant, requested by the governor of Kansas, and will be taken to Winfield, Kas., to be tried for the murder of George C. Montgomery, a Santa Fe detective, who was assassinated at his home in Win field on the night of October 5, 1902. O. W. Coffelt, once employed at Ranch 101, has been tried three times for Mont gomery's murder, the jury each time failing to agree on a verdict. George W. Miller, president of Ranch 101. was. indicted for the same crime, but died before his trial. On his deathbed he told a number of his friends that neither he nor Coffelt knew anything about Montgomery's death. Colby's arrest was made largely upon the strength of assertions made by J. E. Torrence, of Winfield, Kas., who alleges that Colby has made virtually a clean confession of the whole affair, implicating in Montgomery's murde O. W. Coffelt and a number of other cowboys of the 101 ranch at Bliss. Torrence makes affidavit that a con spiracy was arranged with the cowboys of the ranch and that Colby fired the shot which killed Montgomery. Torrence alleges that Colby was away from the ranch the night Of the tragedy and that after the shooting a man answering in detail his description appeared at Hack ney, a small station below Winfield, and asked the operator if the man shot at Winfield was dead. When the operator started to give the alarm Colby drove him away at the point of a revolver. Torrence, In his affidavit, goes into lengthy details regarding the matter. Colby was employed for some time on the "101" ranch. Colby is the same man who was taken from the Garfield county jail at Enid and placed in a cell with Coffelt at Winfield. He testified that while in jail with Coffelt the latter related the de tails of Montgomery's death. Colby was in jail at Enid for horse stealing and was released on bond that he might go to Winfield. After testifying against Coffelt. he jumped his bond. Colby will be taken to Kansas by Calvin Ferguson, an officer from Winfield. THREE DEAD, One Hundred Injured 200,000 Loss.

They were taken bj Sheriff Leach and his deputy under an order of the Harrison circuit court, and only the jailer and the officials knew of the movement. The arrangement announced several days ago to bring troops here and take them Saturday morninsr now turns out to be a ruse to avoid excitement. YOUTHFUL WRECKERS. Arrested on Charge of Derailing Oak land Street Car. Eight small boys, all residents of Oak land, were arrested by a city court offi cer today on the charge of derailing a street car. It appears that the youths were in the habit of placing dirt on the rails "just to see the wheels go round" and the sparks fly when a car passed. Their sport was too much for one car, and it tried to go round the obstruction. Yes terday little Petei Roof was arrested, and he turned state's evidence, with the result that Denny and Kddie Sanderson, Ollie Busen, Jake Roof. Reed Spencer, Henry McDague, Clarence Sutherland and Johnnie Domme were arrested. All the boys were admitted to $r0 bond. WON DECIDING HEAT. John Taylor Captures Unfinished Race at Detroit.

MOSQUITOES HEARD IT. Swooped Down on Assemblage and Broke It Up. Delegates Dispersed Without Taking Any Action. New York, July 23. There has been an indignation meeting of mosquitoes on Staten Island. This was apparent when an army of the pestiferous insects in vaded Stapleton village hall where a solemn conference was being held with a view to ridding the island forever of the anopheles family. The hall was jammed with delegates representing the various towns. After several speeches and displays of maps, it was decided to drain the whole of Staten Island and not to leave as much as a iomato can full of stagnant breeding water. A committee of public safety also was decided upon. Then the mosquitoes appeared upon the scene and the delegates were kept busy beating them off. It is even asserted that the meeting, which was cut short, adjourn ed before the committeemen on public safety had been chosen. STANDS ON THERECORD The Uorernment Will Hold China to Her Promise. Washington, July 23. The state de partment has heard nothing recently from Mr. Conger respecting the Man churian negotiations so it is suggested that the Pekin report to the effect that the Chinese government, through Prince. Ching has declined to open any Man churian ports, refers to a phase of the negotiations dating about two weeks back. The reason for this suggestion is a knowledge on the part of the officials here that before Secretary Hay's depar ture for his summer home the Chinese government actually did pledge itself to open two or more ports in Manchuria. If however there has been any change in the Chinese attitude since this pledge was given it is said here that the Uni ted States government will not be moved thereby, but holding fast to the pledges already given, will insist on their redemption, BIGGEST BATTLESHIP.

It was the largest muster of troops ever seen at a review in Ireland. The Duke of Con naught was in command. The king, who wore the uniform of a field marshal, was attended by the lord lieutenant, the Earl of Dudley, and a numerous suite. Prior to leaving the vice regal lodge his majesty presented colors to the Royal Hibernian Military school. IN MEMORY OF THE POPE. Church Bell Will Be Tolled Daily Until the Funeral.

Young Men Still Follow Horace Greeley's Adrice. HAVE MOSEY TO INVEST Farmers and Stock Kaisers Come With Capital. Merchants Constantly Seeking Good Business Locations. For three years the states of the mid dle west have been pouring their over flow into Kansas and settling the farm ing counties of the eastern end of the state, the towns of the gae belts and the cattle raising counties of the west with the best class of population. This flow of immigration has been largely superinduced by the railroads entering the state. Their "home seekers' days" have become regularly established and remunerative features of their passen ger business. They encourage travel by judicious and widespread advertising of Kansas in the east. The newspaper ac counts of the immense wheat crop, the booming sales of cattle land and the demand for farming laborers has aroused an interest in the state from the most desirable people of the states east and they have turned to Kansas for a place to Invest their money. The movement is a natural result of the populating of the older states of the Mississippi valley, Indiana, Illinois. Ohio, Missouri and Iowa. The high prices of farming land, the scarcity ot undeveloped land and the denser pop ulation is forcing the young men west to Kansas where equally good ground is to be had at far lower pric?es and where. redy markets are fully as avcilnble. Most of these come with money to invest. They are careful farmers and good citizens and Kansas is favored by their corning. A vast amount of this travel stops in the southeastern counties of the state. Merchants and men with general busi ness experience are settling in the small towns of the gas belt. This Is also true of the slates and territories south but the advantages of development offered by Kansas counties induces the best class of immigrants to stop here. W. J. Black, general passenger agent of the Santa Fe railroad, is naturally a close observer of the flow of Immigra tion, particularly when it is induced by the road he represents and by the other roads entering the southwest. "The business of bringing prospective settlers into Kansas is steadily assum ing greater proportions." said he today. "The upbuilding of the southwest is a mattdr of the greatest Importance to the railroad companies entering that coun try and they are extending every en couragement to people in the middle states who are disposed toward seeking a new location for the various enter prises in which they desire to engage. To a large etxent the people coming this way are farmers who have been crowd ed out of the older farming states and want to set their plowshares In the rich soil of the new west. Most of them have money to Invest, though many are in no great hurry to settle. They spend con siderable time in looking over the coun try and sizing up its possibilities. The movement is gathering impetus since those who have first come out and set tled have had time to send back favor able reports of their experiences. Many of the people we carry as homeseekers do not finally settle for two or three years after their first investigations. "We have no way of estimating the number of homeseekers. actual and bona fide, that are carried by our road, rinrine- the fall months our trains are crowded with them and the number runs into the thousands every montn. The indications are that this year will be a very busy one in the immigration business as soon as crops are well laid by in the fall and will continue all win ter and next spring. Young merchants with a little capital to invest in some of the new towns that are springing up in the new country and young fellows out to find a location either in business or farming are constantly coming to Kan sas." Senator John Chaney is Interested in Kansas immigration and has kept In elope touch with the movement of eastern farm ers. In speaking of the movement of im migration from the middle states Mr. Cha nev sa id: "There will be a very large immigration during the coming fall from the mldrl5 states Including the northern part of Mis souri of people who wish to engage In farming and stock raising. You see that land there sells for from J100 to $150 an acre and a man can sell out and come to Kansas Hnd buy the same amount of Just ps good land and have mom y to prt In the hank. An Iowa man is after a $55.noo ranch which he wants to purchase for his bovs. He is in the cattle business. Mis souri people are constantly looking for chances to invest in Kansas. This is an unusual thing at this time of the year. It Is seldom that such a movement of home seekers should begin before the first of rSeptember. "A jew yenrs ago xne nuiruHua uiu nitieii toward settling Michigan and Wisconsin. A great many people went north from In diana. Illinois and Iowa, but that conn try is pretty well filled up. I arn glad to see that the railroads have begun to ad vertise Kansas through the eastern states and with the advertising that she has had from wheat crop and harvest hund stories I think the result will be n increased movement this way. Kansas will get more than her full portion of the Immigration. "Western Kansas is being turned over to the cattle business. It is gradually being parcelled over into a great many big ranches. I know of one ranch In tin southwestern part of the state comprised of loo. X) ncres in the management of which a man named Stevens in Comanrhs countv owns a controlling interest. The men who staved through the hard time' have gathered together large tracts of land and it Is common to find ranches of from 2S.0O0 to &0.W0 acres. Thnt Is the proper wav to conduct the cattle Industry and it is being followed cut more and more every year." Five Miners Drown. Mahanov City, Pa., July 23.

Yonng Corbett Failed to Knock Out Jimmy Briggs.. In I'oor Form in Ten Konnd Bout at Boston. DECISION ON POINTS. Champion Was Faulty in Meas uring Distances. Many of His Swings at Bis Op ponent Fell Short. Boston, July 23. While Young Cor bett, champion featherweight of the world got the decision over Jimmy Briggs in their ten round bout last night at the Tammany club, the Boston boy gained considerable prestige by staying the limit. It was the second time the two had met and each time Briggs managed to stay with the champion the full length of the bout. An agreement to break clean was costly to Corbett who does his greatest execution when fastened to his opponent. Briggs used excellent ring Judgment and kept away from Corbett's swings or ducks when he was pulled in close. As a consequence Corbett failed to land any damaging blows and Briggs was fresh at the finish. Corbett's poor condition was evident, as he refused to set a fast pace. Briggs grew more confident as the bout prog ressed and went at the champion with left swings to the body but was content to let the champion do the worrying. For five rounds the bout was slow, Cor bett simply stabbing his left, trying to get near enough to reach over his right, but he never got a chance as Briggs was ready to back away or duck under the powerful blows. The champion was faulty in measuring distance as many of his swings upon which 'lie depended fell short or his wildness carried him into the ropes. The seventh was most vici ous as Corbett at this point mixed the fight and endeavored to finish it. Briggs, by avoiding Corbett's rushes and keep ing his head, stood the gaff well. The remainder of the bout lacked interest as Corbett lacked steam and Briggs was playing a waiting game. FARRELL WAS FURIOUS When He Heard the Rumor of a Proposition to Sell. New York, July 23. The publication In an afternoon paper of a story to the effect that Frank Farrell had offered his holdings in the American League club for sal to a brewer living in his .neighborhood made Farrell furious. He said that it was not true. He de clared that when he went into the American League he knew that he was going to lose money, and that he had not lost any more than he had antici pated, although it is well known now that he will be stuck for not less than $150,000 on this season's investment, a sum that experienced baseball men say it will be Impossible for him ever to re cover in the business, as what he has sunk in improving the ground, whicrfis practically thrown away, since no one is going to pay him for that part of the plant. He declared that the story had been printed to injure the cause of the American League, and wanted some scalps in return for it. This, notwithstanding, it is the im pression of more than one baseball own er that Farrell has shown an inclina tion to assume the role of a salesman and take a vacation from the baseball business, which has been a bit too stren uous for certain American Leaguers this season. He Won $6,000 at Faro. Detroit, Mich., July 23. All Detroit sports are talking of Billy Goodenough's wonderful luck the past few days. Laat week he went over to Windsor with $20 and dropped into Pittsburg Hall's faro room. He lost all but $5, and then his luck changed, and he ran his roll up to $200. He returned the next night ad also Saturday, and finally retired with $S,000 to the good. Goodenough is an ordinary day laborer, and tor tear tnat he would not be strong enough to resist temptation prcmply invested the $6,000 in a house and lot and then went back to work at $2 per.

CUT OUT EOAD WORK. Jeffries Will Leave for Oakland Ten Hays Before the Fight. San Francisco. Julv 23 A sneclal from Harbin Springs says Sunday was the last day of rest for Joe Kennedy and Jack Jeffries here.

Tuesday Jeffries put on the gloves wim joe xveiineay ior a lew rounas anu that was all the work he felt like dnine. Jeffries will do a little road work while preparing for this fleht. In his last ro with Fltzsimmons the champion says he did so much work on the road that he was actually weak when he entered the ring on the night of the fight.. It was his cus tom to run behind the stage down to Mid dletown, three and a half miles away, and then back again over to camp. This road is very hilly In places, and the big fellow fell strained later on. His work this time will consist entirely of indoor work, such as hand ball, rowing ir.achine and boxing. He Is not worrying in the least about the weight he will make. Billy Delaney says just as soon as Jeffries feels he is right work will stop. "I think we will leave for Oakland about the 2d or 3d of August, and work in the gymnasium of the Reliance ctub. He wants to get accustomed to climate down there, and ten days will be sufficient."

TOPEKA STATE JOUByAI THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 23, 1903, CLAY JSJJEAD'. Noted Kentncklan Is Worn Out at Ninety-three. After a Life Full of Turmoil and Fighting. A FAMOUS DUELIST. Was Made Minister to Ilussia by President Lincoln. Ills Own Story of Some of Ills Hardest Fights. Richmond, Ky., July 23. Cassius II. Clay, the ''Sage of Whitehall." former minister to Russia, and a widely known Kentuckian, died at his home at White hall at 9:1 o'clock last nisht. Cassius Marcellus Clay was the last survivor of the great Kentuckians of half a century ago. It Is 7 years since he was graduated from Tale and delivered an oration in which he espoused the cause of the lave. 1 f!,' THE LATE CASSIUS M. CLAY. Clay even at 22 was not a man whose itterances could pass unnoticed. He as perhaps the richest southerner of Ms day and a member of a famous fam ily. From that day the j-ro-slavery leadets of the south were his bitter en- i emles. At the outset of his public career Clay j became known as a duelist. He caned a i certain Ir. Declarey, who had written an abusive letter about him to the mother of his sweetheart. A challenge followed, which Clay promptly accept- ed, but Declarey evidently feared to meet his man. and in the end commit ted suicide because of the contempt into which he fell. General Clay established an anti slavery paper called the True American. It was frequently attac ked by moos, i and on one occasion the type and press- j es were shipped out of town by rioters. Clay fortified the office and armed it. A vacation in his newspaper career came I when he want to the Mexican war. Tom Marshall, with whose race and nana i Clay's family had long been at feu 1 j and who had headed a mob against the paper, was also an officer. The two met in Mexico and Marshall was overawed. -j even as Declarey had been, and there was no right. Clay was once a candidate for con gress against a man named Wickliffe. A duel grew out of the canvass, in which neither man was injured. "Well." said General Clay once in tell ing the story. "Wickliffe had after that a handbill which he rad during his speech. We had our speeches together, and when he brought out this handbill I always rose and asked if I might in terrupt him. He would politely consent and then I would say that the handbill was untrue and had been proved so. "The pro-slavery men sent for Sam Brown, one of the most noted bullies in Kentucky. It is said that he had had forty fights and never lost a battle. Brown tame, and he and Wickliffe. Jacob Ashton and Ben Wood, a police bully, loaded a pistol which Brown was to use upon me. I knew nothing of this and had not my dueling pistols with me. "That day I interrupted Wickliffe as usual and Brown struck me with his umbrella and told me I iied. When 1 recognized Brown I knew it meant a fight to the death. "I had a long, sharp bowie knife, and I Jerked this out. but Brown's friends grabbed my arms from behind and dragged me back about fifteen feet. Brown pulled his revolver arid told the crowd to get out of the way and let him kill me. "As they let go I started toward Brown. I could see him looking along the barrel of the revolver. He waited until he thought I was close enough and then fired. I felt the ball strike me in the breast and determined to kill him If I could before I died. I came down aa his head with a tremendous blow TRUE PREVENTIVE OF HAY FEVER Jlyomel Destroys Germs of the Dis I ease and Keeps People Well. There can be little or no doubt as to hay fever being a germ disease. Is is, too, one disease where prevention is much easier than cure. All who are subject to this disagree able trouble, should use Hyomei daily (or at least two or threes weeks before the time of their annual attack. In this way the annoying paroxyisras or sneezing, running at the nose and watery and smarting eyes can be avoided. This remarkable discovery makes it possible for anyone to breathe air at home which is almost identical with that of the Adirondacks or White Mountains or other resorts where hay fever sufferers go to escape their trouble. If, however, Hyomei has not been used until the disease has begun, it is necessary to use it more frequently, at least half a dozen times daily, and Hy omei Balm should be rubbed into the nostrils both morning and night. This tr-tment will relieve at once and will effect a cure in nearly every case. Geo. W. Stansfield, druggist, 632 Kans. avenue has a complete line of the Hyomei goods and will sell ar outfit of inhaler, Hyomei and medicine dropper for Jl.OO and will also agree to refund the money if the treament does not give satisfaction. Do not try to cure hay fever by dos ing the stomach. Breathe Hyomei and In that way the medicine will reach the minutest air cells in the nose, throat and lungs, soothe and heal the I'ritated mucous membrane, and pre vent and cure all hay fever troubles from the bowie knife. I struck again and again and stunned him so that he could not fire. "With one cut I sliced his nose In two; with another I cut off his ear so that it hung by a thread, and with a third I put out his eye. The conspira tors seized me. and I was struck with hickory sticks and chairs, some of the blows of which I still feel. "Again I made for Brown, and they, to keep him out of my way, threw him over a fence about seven feet high, and this ended the fight." Brown's bullet was deflected from Clay's heart by the scabbard of his bowie knife. Brown's evidence cleared Clay at his trial, and he never sought to renew the fight. Another desperate duel in which Gen eral Clay was nearly killed was with a man named Turner. That was In 1S49. At a speech in Foxtown, Turner s son told Clay that he lied. Clay drew his knife, but was again seized by con federates of his enemy, and while he struggled someone passed a knife through his lung. Again General Clay determined to kill his man before he died. Faint from loss of blood, he wrested the knife from his assailant and rushed upon Turner, stabbing him in the abdomen. Then Clay fainted from loss of blood Just as his son ran up with his pistols, which he had left in his carpetbag at the hoieL The crowd thought Clay was dead or they might have carved him up more painstakingly. This carelessness saved his life. His vast physical strength, in spite of his wounds and the lingering effects of fever and captivity in Mex ico, brought about his recovery. A magnificent man, physically and mentally, was Cassius M. Clay in those days six feet tall, a fiery orator, a magnetic presence, a fine dark eye, a pleasant smile, boundless vitality, dauntless courage. With the coming on of the rebellion wider duties than electioneering in Kentucky claimed him. He became United States minister to Russia, did much to keep that nation friendly to us during the war, and negotiated the sale of Alaska to the United States in He was recalled by Grant, and for a time thereafter became a Democrat, supporting Tilden in 1ST6, but later re turned to the Republican party. In early life Clay married an aristo cratic young woman, from whom he afterward obtained a divorce. Then for years he lived alone until a memo rable incident changed the color of his Ufa. Living near Clay's house was a Widow Richardson, with her two girls, Dora, aged 11. and a younger sister, aged 6. One day the widow and he girls were walking over a long trestle at Valley View, near Richmond, when a train overtook them. Crazed by the danger the woman stood still as if to check the engine with her very body, and screamed to the children to run. Then Dora proved herself a heroine, indeed. Seizing her sister by the waist she started to jump into the water. Her skirt caught on a crossbeam; she clung to her sister with grim resolution until the slowing train had thundered by. Then the trainmen came back and rescued the two girls. The mother was past help. Mrs. Richardson had been a house keeper for General Clay, and he under took to care for her daughters. He planned to make Dora a lady; in the end he married her when she was 15 mainly, it was supposed, to still gossip about their relations. Although he engaged teachers for her, all his efforts were futile. The girl pre ferred the rough cabin in which her relatives lived to the stately mansion of her decrepit husband. General Clay was devoted to her. In spite of the fact that she often ran away. Finally he got a divorce. Dora at once became the wife of Riley Brock, a worthless young mountaineer, who often was cruel to her. General Clay presented a well stocked farm to them and sent some of his most valuable pic tures to their home. Brock sold the pictures and the farm, and General Clay sent for Dora. She went to White Hall, but took her husband with her. The general ordered him away. Brock went, but his wife went with him. After that Brock wandered over the country. He once was arrested on a charge of 1 counterfeiting. He was killed by a tram I in Illinois. General Clay's fine old mansion is now stripped almost bare of its furnish ings. His life was much like that of an old feudal baron. The once palatial house is like a fortress, and the brick walls are loopholed for double-barreled shotguns. Armed guards challenged all callers. Their employer had long been under the hallucination that his life was sought by members of a mysterious "vendetta." Although he was so nearly blind that he could no longer shoot with accuracy, revolvers were always within his reach. The old cannon that fifty years ago served to protect his newspa per office is planted to command the entrance to the grounds. The one passion of his life was his love for Dora, the child-wife whom he divorced. She has one child.a boy about 3 years old. A few days ago, General Clay, at the instance of his children, who had long been banish 3d from his home, was de clared insane, but his end was then so near at nand that he was not remov ed to an asylum. STARTS BEFORE DAY. President Roosevelt Goes to Visit His Uncle. Oyster Bay. L.' I.. July 23. Shortly after i o ciock tnis morning President Roosevelt, accomranied by his eldest son, Theodore, started from Sagamore Hill on horseback ride to Sayvilie, L. I. The president goes to Sayvilie to visit his uncle, Robert Roose velt. it was expected that Mrs. Roosevelt might accompany the president, but she was deterred from attempting the long ride about 3v miles by the very unpropitious weather. The president and hi son were unac companied. Two secret service officers left Oyster Bay last night for Sayvilie by train. The president will spend the day and nleht with his uncle, leaving for Sagamore Hill cn his return ride early tomorrow morning. Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten Tears of Suffering. "I wish to say a few worls in praise of Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diar rhoea Rmiy." says Mrs. Mattie Bulge of Martinsville. Va. "I suffered from chronic ciarrr.ota for ten vwrs and dur ing that time tried various medicines with out obtaining any permanent relief. List summer one of my children wzi taken with cholera morbus and I procured a Ixit tle of thi remedy. Onlv two doses wer; required to give her entire relief. I then decided to try the medicine mvself. and did not use all of one bottle before I was well and I have never since been troubled with that complaint. One can not say too much in favor of that wonderful medi cine." This remedy is for sale by all drug gists.

Santa Fe May Build Dalhart Dodge City Line. Dalhart, Tex., July 23. Railroad circles are agitated over developments of the nast few days, and real estate has taken a boom that is simply amaz ing. Ten thousand dollars worth of city property changed hands Wednes day, and several ranches were taken that have not yet been recorded. The occasion of so great an Interest arises from late confirmations of deals be tween the C. R. L P.. the Frijsco. Santa Fe, C. O. G. and F. W. D. C. whereby Dalhart Is to be the divi sion noint for the above named com panies. With five of the leading rail roads of the country making this point their headquarters, Dalhart is safe and Map Showing Possibilities of entitled to one of the prominent loca. tions on the railroad maps of the Unit ed States. Centrally located between Topeka, Kas.. Fort Wrorth, Tex., Denver. Co'c. and El Paso, Tex., Dalhart's superior commercial advantages are attracting the attention of capitalists and rail roads that is simply wonderful, and a city of ten thousand within the next year or two is not placing the situa tion too strongly. Among the few fortunate railroad men of Dalhart who came early on the scene and who have realized handsome ly on their investments are G. M. Law rence, assistant superintendent; Chaa. F. Smith, train dispatcher Chris Jones, trainmaster; Joe Myers, general freight and passenger agent; J. H. Conlen, president and general manager; James Griffith, assistant general freight agent; W. W. Luhmon, master mechanic; Harry Bibbons, general foreman; Chas. A. Mills, superintendent of building and bridges; F. J. Welch, assistant master mechanic; Chas. A. Pearl, chief book keeper; W. J. Clarke, postmaster, and a score of others. The abov dispatch to the State Jour-" nal from Dalhart seems to indicate that confirmaion of the long rumored Santa Fe-Rock Island traffic deal has been re ceived at Dalhart. No such confirma tion has yet been given by local offi cials of the Santa Fe or Rock Island. It Is known that the Santa Fe pro poses to either build a line to connect with its New Mexico cut off.now under construction, or force the Rock Island to grant It the use of its tracks. It will build its line from Dodge City to con nect with the Rock Island at some point south, and according to the Dal hart dispatch, that town has been se lected as the junction point. If it proves to be a fact that the San ta Fe and Rock Island will Join their main lines at that point it will justify the rapid increase in Dalhart real estate values reported in the above dispatch.

Negotiations have been in progress fat" some time past by which the removal of the passenger headquarters offices of the Chicago Eastern Illinois may be made to the new La Salle street station. Official confirmation of the fact that this is to be done is not obtainable, though the consideration of the move is generally known of in railroad circles. If there is a removal by the Eastern Illinois from its present location on Dearborn street it will not be with t'e idea of consolidating: the passenger de partment of that company with the Rock Island general offices. The two departments will be maintained as dis tinct as they are at present. There has been some delay in the con summation of the plans for putting the Eastern Illinois passenger offices in the La Salle street station office building Dalhart as a Railroad Center. and it is possible that the original in tention may not be carried out. The plan was to have the Eastern Illinois offices occupy the sixth floor of the building, just beneath the Rock Island passenger department headquarters. This portion of the building has not yet been finished. The question has been raised as to the sufficiency of the space for the accom modation of the increasing force in the Eastern Illinois offices. This question may be the obstacle which will prevent the move being finally made. In the allotment of space between the Rock Island and the Lake Shore com panies the sixth floor, which fell to the share of the Jake Shore, was asked ror by the Rock Island. This request was granted under an arrangement for rent al which was satisfactory to both. The Rock Island forces are installed with out this rented space being taken up and the presumption was that the room was desired for some other lines. An in crease in the Chicago force of the Lake Shore, however, would terminate the tenancy, as the latter company reserves the right to terminate the renting ar rangement whenever the space is need ed. This sort of contract, it is believed. does not suit the purposes of the East era Illinois. TIMES-INDEX KNOCXa Says Redondo Did Not Treat Santa Fe Picnickers Sight. The San Bernardino Times-Index hands out this hot, one to Redondo: "Redondo will be cut out of all con sideration next year when it Comes time to talk and act upon a location for the sixth annual picnic. The Santa. Fe boys are finding more cause to complain of the way they were treated as the days go oy. it nas Deen dis covered that the baseball teams were taxed one dollar each for the use of one small room in which they changed their uniforms. .The room was in use less than two hours, and the teams paid hard coin for the accommodation. Then there was no one in the town who made it a point to know anything which the picnickers might ask con cerning it. No one seemed to know where the ball grounds were located, and many persons missed seeing the games. The grounds, when found by the players, were little less than a dis grace. There is also a kick about the music The town had agreed to supply a band for the pavilion until S o'clock at night. Instead an apology for a band appeared late in the day and van ished shortly after 4 o'clock. Here after Redondo will be known by three thousand people from this section aa 'Fishville.'

Rock Island Photographer Is Collect ing Advertising Material. Colorado Springs, Col., July 23. O. L. Foster, well known throughout the coun try as a scenic and scientific photogra pher, now working in an official capac ity with the Rock Island system, is in Colorado Springs at the instance of J. M. Campbell, in charge of the advertis ing of the system. Mr. Foster will take typical views of Colorado Springs and its suburbs, views not in stereotyped form, but true to the everyday life of the community, street scenes, polo, golf games, etc. He desires to take Palmer park when filled with carriages, and will devote several plates to coursing views. Photographs of trains on the Short Line and scenery from new points of Tiew and new Cripple Creek photographs will be secured.These views will be used in the literature a'dvertis ing the state, which will be published by the Rock Island in pursuance of its very extensive system of advertising. Mr. Foster will remain in this vicinity be tween ten days and two weeks. The directors of the chamber of commerce will do everything possible to facilitate Mr. Foster's work. The chamber has received from Mr. Campbell a large consignment of proof sheets, showing the various cuts and artistic designs the Rock Island is us ing in advertising Colorado. The last is cue of the Ride and Drive contained a page of illustrations of polo games play ed in Colorado Springs and a page of description of the sport and the horses and riders. RATE ON LEMONS. Santa Pa Will Haul tha Sour Fruit at $1 a Hundred. San Bernardino, CaL, July 23. Ac cording to a pamphlet received at the local Santa Fe offices, the Transconti nental Freight association has fixed a. special winter relief rate on lemons moving from December 1 to April iO, inclusive. The rate is $1 per 100 pounds, which is a cut of 25 cents in the regular tariff. The reason for this reduction is said to be due to the fact that the lemon season is quiet from December to April, and the movement of fruit consequently light. The lemon market in the east is good during the winter, as can be seen by a glance at the Santa Fe's local records showing the number of cars of that fruit shipped out of this city during the winter months as compared with the summer. The new rate is expected to be par ticularly welcome to the Santa Fe peo ple, who have been experimenting with considerable success in a new process for curing lemons. The fruit is shipped to Chicago in the winter and after be ing cured is stored until the warm weather sets in. Then the lemons art marketed in a much better condition at well as in a shorter time than they would be if shipped across the conti nent. Thus it will be seen that the Santa Fe will, more than any other road, reap the benefit of toe winter re lief rate. CAN'T OPERATE. One-Car Railroad Loses All Its Equipment. Denver, Colo., July 23. A small fire put whole railroad out of business at an early hour yesterday morning. This road is the Colorado Eastern, about 20 miles long. It was built in 1855 from Elyria to the Scranton coal fields and the strangest thing concerning it is that very few people knew of its existence. The rolling stock consisted of an en gine, a passenger coach and a. boxcar. Once a day these were sent over the road for the purpose of holding the franchise. This was the only reason, for the road has an entrance to the city that will bring a large price some day. providing the franchise is not declared forfeited. The road had erected a round house. Early yesterday morning, in some un known manner the round house caught fire, and before the department arrived it was in ashes. The rolling stock was inside and was so badly damaged that for the present the road is out of busi ness. But the general manager says it will be in full operation again within a short time and all the trains will be running on schedule time. The total loss is estimated at 5,0O0,' and is cover ed by insurance. AT THE ANTLERS. President Ripley Is Trying to Re cover from Grip. Colorado Springs. Col., July 23. E. R. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe sys tem, accompanied by his daughter. Miss F. P. Ripley, is in the city to spend a week or so. They are registered at the Antlers. Mr. Ripley is in ill health, due to a severe attack of the grip, and said this morning that he would stay here until he got either better or worse. When asked with reference to the talk of a double track being built by the Santa Fe between Denver and Pueblo, President Ripley stated that there had been some disposition on the part of the company to build a double track, but present business conditions would not warrant the undertaking. However, the company hoped eventually to build the double track. General Foreman Hicks Sick. San Bernardino, Cal., July 23. It was given out at the shop office yesterday that General Foreman I. C. Hicks, of the locomotive department, who has been off duty for several days, was a very sick man.

Banta Fe Cattle Train Smashed and Animals Killed. Kansas City, July 23. The Santa Fe railway had a large force of men at work yesterday clearing away the wreck in the Argentine yard. Many of the cattle, which were" pinned down by the wrcked cars. were found to be alive when the heavy timbers were lifted from them. All were so badly Injured, how ever, that they had to be killed. The main line.track was all clear by six o'clock. There are two main line tracks where the wreck took place. One of these tracks was cleared early yes terday morning, but trains were com pelled to wait in line for several hours in order to get Into the Kansas City yard. PILLS BURY APPOINTED.

The news Is received in the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, busy throughout the c.itlre day. A complete copy of the night report la auio received. HOME NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the State Journal away during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of thirty cents a mont'i. Address changed as cften as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter front home. The state of Washington has a barber law and even that has been found de tective by the courts. Maude Gonne's capacity for making trouble Is such that her husband's continued absence from home ceases to be remarkable. Russia's present position regarding Manchuria appears to be that she Is willing to leave the door open pro vided nobody is permitted to enter. Some Wall street gentlemen are re ported to be organizing an elephant hunt. It may turn out better than their recent bear hunt In New York, wherein the bears have done most of the hunt ing. With an increase in the family at Buzzard's Bay on the one hand, and that now famous ride by General Miles on the other, it looks as though Presi dent Roosevelt had been placed be tween two fires. Regardless of the fact that he hasn't done a stroke of work of any kind for more than a year, Charles M. Schwab, the head of the Steel trust, is still in search of rest. When he finds It per haps the public will get some of it. A report just issued by the commis sioner general of immigration shows a total of 8r7,046 immigrants to the United States in the year ending June 30, 1903. This is an Increase of 32 per cent, over the record of the preceding year. Strikes among employes of the gov ernment are of rare occurrence, but just now one is threatened in the gov ernment printing office. Trouble has grown out of the fact that a member of the bookbinders' union was expelled and his discharge from the government service demanded. The foreman acqui esced in the unirm's demand, and the discharged man appealed to the presi dent for reinstatement on the ground that a rule of the civil service had been violated. President Roosevelt ordered that he be taken back. Now tvery bookbinder in the office says he will quit work if the president's order be carried out. Continued increases shown in railroad earnings are partly accounted for by figures found in the report of the inter state commerce commission filed re cently. These show that the number of tons of freight carried during the past year was 1,200,3.15.787. an increase of 111,083,3-17 being shown. The number of tons of freight carried one mile that is, ton mileage was 157,289,370,053. The in crease In the number of tons carried one mile was 10,212,234.013. The number of tons carried one mile per mile of line was 733,351. These figures show an in crease in the density of freight traffic of 32,037 tons carried one mile per mile of line. The average revenue per passenger per mile for the year ending June 30, 1902, was 1.9S6 cents. For the preceding year it was 2.013 cents. The revenue per ton of freight per mile was 0.757 cent, while for 1901 it was 0.750 cent. An Increase In earnings per train mile ap pears both for passenger and freight trains. The average cost of running a train one mile also increased. The per centage of operating expenses to earn ings was 64.66 per cent. NO NATIONAL. LOSS. The attitude of the country toward the recent gyrations executed by the Bulls and Bears on Wall street is aptly expressed by the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph in the following: Of course, persons who bought securi ties when they were selling at a higher price in the market and sold them at a price below that at which they bought have suffered an actual loss. Persons who bought when securities were before at this level and have held them through all the ups and downs of the market have lost nothing, but possibly regret th it they did not increase their fortunes by si lling when thny could get more for their property than they can now obtain. They have seen a fortune grow only to be swept away again, but It was only a paper fortune, and they have suffered no actual loss. Aside, however, from the actual losses of the one class of Individuals and the paper losses of Ihe other class the country is no worse oiT at this moment than be fore the Wall street slump. The volume of securities has not diminished and their earning power Is no less now than It was at the lirst of the year. Meas ured by Ircome account Instead of by capital valuation the country is not a penny poorer than It was before the squeezing process was applied which re duced the apparent (but not the real) value of securities by many millions of dollars. The stock market hysteria halted the optimism of the nation just long enough to permit it to take an in ventory of business conditions and the Inventory Is highly satisfactory. The earnings of the railroads which move commodities from point to point of con sumption are In excess of earnings for previous years, and with the bank exchanges, which also reveal the de gree of activity of exchanges of com modities, furnish satisfactory evidence that there has been no check to produc tion and no slowing of demand. The crop reports indicate a plentiful food supply, and the output of the manufac tories Is such as to Indicate that each product will make a good market for the other. The general foundation of security values is. therefore, unimpair ed, so that there is no danger of im pairment of income from securities. Wealth Is not Improperly measured by earning power, so that if the Wall street quotations for stocks and bonds are not so high as a short time ago, the owners of securities (taking no account of the fact that prices are sure to be higher) are In as good a position now as they were six months'ago. It Is only those who were forced to sell who are worse off, not the nation as a whole. SAVING THE F0REST3. Seasoning experiments with railroad ties are being conducted In co-operation with the Santa Fe railroad and the Kir by Lumber company at Sllsbee, Tex., and the ties are being treated with preservatives at Somerville, Tex. The timbers undergoing the experiments are longleaf, loblolly, and shortleaf pines. All along the lines of the Illinois Central and the St. Louis and San Fran cisco seasoning experiments are in pro gress on swamp, red, pin, and cow oak and beech and gum. The experiments in seasoning the lodge pole pine, carried on last year for the Burlington railroad In Bear Canyon, Montana, and Sheridan, Wyo have been continued this year. Last year It was found that 39 per cent of the weight of the ties was lost by open-air drying, which resulted in an enormous saving in freight. Work of a similar nature to the rail road experiments is being carried on for the American Telegraph and Tele phone company, which used last year 150,000 telephone poles and 3,000,000 feet of timber in cross-arms. Seasoning ex periments are being conducted on chest nut telephone poles near Harrisburg, Pa., and on cedar poles near Wilming ton, N. C. Important and valuable as this work is to the railroad and telegraph com panies, it is of far greater importance and value to the country at large. The use of cheaper timbers for railroad ties is in several ways an economic saving; it relieves the high grade timbers of a part of the heavy demand that is being made upon them, opens a market for timbers for which there is now little sale, and affords splendid opportunities for conservative management of tim ber lands. The work is being prosecuted according to the regular co-operative system of the bureau of forestry by which the field and traveling expenses of the bureau's agents are paid by those for whom the work is done. EDITOBIAL COMMENT The iailk in the Cocoanut. Philadelphia Bulletin: What may prove to be the milk in the Colombian cocoanut is revealed by an interview with a member of the Bo gota. Congress, who is represented as declining that his country ought to re ceive much more than the $10,000,000 which the United States has offered for the right of way across the isth mua. If matters remain In their present condition, this legislator is represent ed as pointing out, the franchise of the Panama Canal Company will shortly be forfeited to the Colombian govern ment, owing to the inability of the gov ernment to carry out the terms of its contract by completing the canal. This company has agreed to pay. $40,000,000 to the French concern for its rights. Should those rights lapse and fall into the possession of Coldrnbia, the French stockholders would receive nothing; while the Colombians would be in a position to demand that this huge sum should be paid over to them as the owners of the forfeited franchise. Several more or less vague intima tions have previously appeared to this effect, and it may be that this feature of the situation is influential in induc ing the congress of Colombia to de lay action on the treaty. If this as sumption is based on fact, the ob structionists are playing for the high stake of $"0, 000,000 instead of $10,000,000. The former sum no doubt seems, fabu,. lous to the needy political adventurers in the South republic. There is an im portant consideration, however, which these schemers apparently fail to take into account. That is the question whether the United States, if the rati fication of the treaty should be held ur until the French company's franchise expires, would consent to become a party to any such transaction. Colombia has contributed neither work nor money to the building of so much of the canal as has been finished. Both the expenditure and the labot have been contributed by the French organization which succeeded the de.. funct enterprise of De Lesseps. If the Colombians propose to cheat the French stockholders out of the amount which this country has promised to pay them, they will probably find that they have reckoned without their host. This policy involves in the first place a prolonged delay, which the adminis tration at Washington is not likely to tolerate. It comprehends In the second place an act of colossal sharp practice. It is insulting to the United States to suppose for one moment that it would become a partner In any such scoun drelly transaction. Speculation and Business. Washington Post. The injurious effects upon business of speculation in futures is being very forcibly illustrated just now in the cot ton market. The country generally has had no particular Interest in the Wall street gambling in that product, other than to watch for the collapse of the speculative bubble and read the list of the speculators pinched in the deal. But the tight is by no means settled betweeD the cotton bulls and bears, and the ef fect of it is being felt by the cotton manufacturers of laborers who find em ployment in the cotton mills of the country. Finally, the effect will be felt by the consumers, as there Is now every indication that prices of manufactured cotton goods will be higher than before in years. Leaders in the speculative movement have been making or losing millions in this commodity for several weeks, and the entire market supply cf cotton for July, August and September has been bought and Fold many times over, with the result that the real ar ticle is held at a :ri e out of all pro portion to its actual value. Traders have been buying and selling something that they never had, and never expect to have, trusting to some lucky fluke of the market to enable them to get out with a profit leaving the unlucky stock gambler to bear the burden when the bottom drops out of the Inflated prices. The general public has little concern and no choice as to which Wall street speculator is forced to the wall by the collapse of the cotton boom, but the stock jobbing has been carried to sucn an extreme in this commodity that the mill owner, the laboring man in tiie cotton mill, and the merchant are al ready beginning to feel th effects of the inflated conditions. Cotton mills in. the south have already commenced closing down, and 2.000 hands are idle in the Atlanta district alone because tho mill owners cannot afford to buy raw ma terial or manufacture the stock a'.ready in 'hand at the prevailing prices. Mill managers in New England and through out the cotton belt in the south are con fronted with the serious problem of clos ing their plants or operating them at a loss. Dry goods jobbers and retailers, in the meantime, are buying from hand to mouth, unwilling to-make the usual investments so long as the cotton prices are in heir unsettled condition. Legitimate trade is being seriously in jured to make a holiday for the Wall street gamblers. There is slight prospect of relief from a repetition of such conditions in the future. Shrewd speculators, who realize that there is a grave danger In this overspeculation, have started a move ment for the protection, not only of the trader, but Of a great industry which has been seriously handicapped by this year's speculative operations. It is pro posed to confine trading hereafter to actualities by conducting it upon the basis of warehouse receipts. It is pro posed to have all the cotton exchanges of the countfy unite upon adopting this standard, agreeing to deal only In cot ton represented by warehouse receipts or upon contracts representing cotton actually In sight in the fields. Such a plan would not, of course, prevent gam bling In cotton futures, but it would check speculation from running wild, as it has been doing in the last two months, to the injury of legitimate busi ness.

Owing to the joint business being of a shady nature at Ottawa, colored men han dle the booze. There seems no disputing the announce ment from Chapman that Mr. Whitehair is an old citizen.

And yet we. are told there is no such thing as luck. A Wellington physician, under the pressure of a hurry call to a patient, left his office water faucet running. It did lit tle damage to the medical lore lying around, but ruined $300 worth of the dry goods stock in the store below. GLOBE SIGHTS. tFrom the Atchison Globe. We hate aesthetic people. A real lover of music loves it as he does his sweetheart. When anyone complains a great deal of boys, it is a bad sign. "I know I wouldn't be good to step children." Drake Watson. An Atchison child is so amiable that she gets along with two step-parents. An Atchison man wears a shirt which is red enough to stop the limited. When a fat man dances during the sum mer, the girls say the odor is something awful. What has become of the old-fashioned woman who referred to her enemy as "an old gump" A daughter's chaperonage of her bereft father begins on the way back from her mother's funeral. If anyone writes more than two letters home when on a vacation, it means he is not having a good time. It is a good Idea to have a telephone In the house: it gives a man something else to get provoked about besides the baby. Come, confess up, men: If your children were to describe their father as "the man who scolds mother," would it fit? We suppose that when a woman lifts off her hair and takes out her teeth, con tractors call it "removing the false work." When perspiration begins to show in the back of the shirt waists worn by women, we know that the weather is hot. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. What a girl speaks of In company as her robe de nuit, she thinks of alone as her nightie. A woman has two great missions n life first, to get into society, and secondly, to keep others out. Every morning that a woman ets.up she has a sneaking idea that this is the day some great romance will come into her life. If every girl who thinks she knows how to play the piano knew how to cook, the divorce lawyers would go into some other business. Next to finding out a rcandal iti her neighbor's life, a woman's highest excite ment is trying to keep her neighbor from finding out the scandal in hers. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.. From the Chicago News.

The insurance of the lives of women and the employment of women as so licitors by insurance companies is a comparatively new idea, but it has be come very popular and is growing rap idly. There are probably 1,000 women in the United States' today who make their living in the insurance business, and they have been so successful in securing business and earning large commissions that it may already be considered an established profession, and women insurance agents will here after work on the same terms and un der the same conditions as men. The big life insurance companies here all have women solicitors and the man agers are unanimous in commending them. The New York Life was the pi oneer and employed its first women agents in Chicago about eight years ago. It came about naturally. Miss Jessie F. Nicholls, who had been a teacher in the public schools and was compelled to give up that employment because of poor health, brought in some business to the general agency there and was told to go out for more That company now has twenty-one women solicitors, the Mutual Life ha-, thirty or more, the Equitable six o seven, and all the other companies have women among their solicitors. The managers also tell men that a larger proportion of women who at tempt to solicit life insurance are suc cessful than the men. Th,ey show more tact, they are more intelligent in col lecting and presenting facts, tn handling their patrons; they are more persistent in following up arguments to their cli ents and are not so easily discouraged. They work among men, but chiefly with women, and as I have said, the insur ance woman has recently become a fad. When I asked Miss Niccolls how she happened to go into the business she said: "I had to give up school and was com pelled to do something else. I saw that the insurance field was open and enter ed it. At first it was very hard work, but it has grown easier every year. The first year I made about $45 a month, which is the salary of a teacher in a primary school. I confined my work to women and had to educate everybody that I talked insurance to. The second year T made three times as much mon ey as at first, and the third year did still better. Now I am working among men as well as women and on the same terms as the men solicitors, and I am sure that soliciting insurance has be come a permanent aixl will be a profit able occupation for women. I see no reason why it should not, particularly as women are taking out more and more insurance." "Who are your clients?" "Mostly working women, and it would surprise? you how many of them are supporting or contributing to the sup port of families. I believe that nine tenths of the women wage-earners of Chicago have others wholly or partly dependent upon them, and this cless of people are beginning to learn that in surance is not only, a good but a nec essary investment'' to protect those Who are dependent upon them and to pro vide for themselves in their old age. "Women are now considered good risks. Formerly a woman had to pay an extra premium to secure insurance, but about six years ago that was re moved, and now nearly all of the life insurance companies accept them on the same basis as men. One of the old con servative companies just yielded the point a few weeks ago. but still makes an exception to married women, as sev eral of the other companies do. The mortality among women is no greater than among men, and their liability to accident is not so great." "What clas3 of women take insur ance?" "I suppose that trained nurses and women physicians have a larger per centage insured than any other profes sion. After that come the teachers in schools, then dressmakers, milliners, cashiers, clerks in department stores and others, but very few stenographers. It is a singular thing that we always find it difficult to convince a stenog rapher of the value of life insurance. Professional women are more apt to in sure than others, and insurance has re cently become popular among actresses. They are taking out twenty year en dowment policies as investments for old age. As a rule, actresses do not save their money and do not have anything left after their popularity has passed. We insure a good many women In pri vate life also. It is becoming quite com mon, and very soon I expect that as many women as men will take out poli cies upon their lives, particularly those who have others dependent upon them.'? Mrs. Leland Stanford is said to carry a larger amount of insurance than any other woman in the world. Her policies amount to more than a million dollars. Mrs. Frank O. Lowden of Chicago, car ries $250,000, probably more than any other women in the west, and Mrs. Me Reynolds carries $200,000. Helen Gould and one of her sisters have $100,000 each. Anna Held carries $100,000; Mrs. Leslie Carter, $50,000: Katharine Grey, $10,000; Nordica, $50,000; Maude Adams, $25,000; Blanche Walsh, $10,000: Blanche Bates, $10,000; Maxine Elliott. $10,000; Lulu Glaser, $10,000: Pauline Hall, $10,000; Laura Joyce. $10,000. and others similar amounts.

Manufacturers Will Be Invited to Make Exhibits. FOR A FLOWER SHOW. Amateur Florists Will Compete for Several Prizes. Band Concerts Will Be Given Twice Daily. A merchants' and manufacturers' ex hibit is to be one of the most attractive features of the state fair in Topeka this fall. Announcement was made today by the officers of the state exposition of their plans for the erection of a new building to be located about the center Of the fair grounds to contain this fea ture of the fair exclusively. In general plan the exhibit is to be arranged after the fashion of the Mid winter exposition. Owing to the decision to hold no Midwinter exposition in the Auditorium during the coming season it has been thought advisable to combine that feature with the state fair and th'i utcome will doubtless be attended with success. During August the erection of a mer chants' and manufacturers' exposition building will be commenced. Its exact locStion is yet a little doubtful but the present plan is to place it directly north of the grand stand. The building is to be rectangular in contour, 200 feet in length and 70 in width. It will be one story in height and will be provided with large exits as sides and ends. While architecturally it will be plain in exter ior every effort will be made to secure artistic decorative effects upon the in terior. The building will be amply lighted by a solid glass window four feet in height extending entirely around it. The estimated cost of the building alone is about $3,000. Secretary C. H. Samson of the expo sition company, said today while dis cussing this feature of the fair: "We hope to make this one of the at tractive features of the state fair. The suspension of the Midwinter expositions leaves a field for this enterprise and its combination with the state fair will be particularly advantageous for the mer chants and manufacturers who will se cure space in the new building for dis plays. Booths will be constructed and sold under contract. Manufacturers will be requested to make lavish displays of their products and special care will be exercised to secure artistic decorative effects. The large crowds which the other features of the state fair are to bring from all over the eastern end of the state will enable the exhibitors in this department to place their goods be fore an immense number of people. Ex hibitors will be permitted to take orders for goods but admission to the building and to all the displays in it will be absolutely free. In its general conduct the department will resemble the mid winter fairs, although the amusement features will not be combined with it. H. E. Reismann has been placed in charge of the -entire department and will manage the disposal of the booth space and all other details." Plans for this department are being formulated rapidly and in a short time a prospectus prepared especially for the interest of prospective exhibitors will be issued. Many features for the en tertainment of sightseers are under consideration. One of these is a flower show. It is proposed to secure from the management of the general fair an appropriation to covr prizes for ex hibits of fine chrysanthemums by ama teurs. A rest room for visitors is an other idea which will probably be car ried into effect, while arrangements will probably be made for band con certs during the afternoons and even ings. The usual free distributions of pre pared foods and the gifts of small ad vertising novelties will make the place popular and attractive. It will be upon this feature of the state fair that the effort to secure beautiful and pleasing decorative effects will be centered. The klea of establishing this feature was not conceived until recently, but is now being pushed with enthusiasm by the state fair management. Efforts will be made to hold the interest and co-operation of exhibitors so that they will return for subsequent fairs. The unparalleled success of last winter's Midwinter exposition lends much en couragement for the success of this feaure of the state fair. SUES E. E. Bit OWN. Insurance Company Asks Judgment Against Him and Bondsmen. E. E. Brown and W. F. Sapp are de fendants in a suit filed today in the su preme court by the Fidelity Casualty company as an appeal from Cherokee county. The Fidelity Casualty com pany does a general accident insurance business, and Brown was its agent. Sapp acted as surety for Brown. The company claimed that Brown had failed to turn in money which he received, and sued him for $407.68. The suit seems to really have been against his bondsman, W. F. Sapp. The court not only refused to allow the insurance company's claim, but it gave Sapp a judgment for $27.50 costs against the company. W. F. Sapp is the well known Demo cratic politician of Galena, Kas. E. E. Brown was at one time in ToDeka. running the Democratic weekly called the Observer. Prior to that he operated the same publication at Guthrie, Okla. He is also the man .who organized the Sunflower league, which was to be the Kansas Day club of the Democratic. JUDGES DODGED THE BAT. Stopped Clock in Supreme Court Room and Caused Trouble. Trenton, N. J., July 23. A bat in a clock in the supreme court room at the state house created no end of consterna tion among the dignified justices of the court of errors and appeals and their attaches. It was noticed that the clock had stopped and a clerk climbed a high step ladder to start it. As he opened the door the bat darted forth, almost in his face, and he nearly tumbled from his high rerch. The justices ducked and dodged as the bat circled the room and there was a general sigh of relief when the "bird" flew out an open window. Marion Crawford on Pope Leo's Sue cessor.

Hagerstown, .Ind., July 23. A ten-year-old boy was checked through from Bingen on the Rhine to Cando, N. D., as baggage. He was sent over the Pennsylvania on train 21 from New York to Indianapolis, where he was transferred to the Monon for Chicago, thence over the Northwestern railroad. About a month ago he had started from Bingen on the Rhine to go to his parents in Cando, N. D. More than a year ago they had left their native land to try their fortunes in America. Their little son had been left In charge of an aunt, who was to care for him until his parents could make enough money to send for their boy. The child knew that his parents had prospered in the new country, for he said they had a home and cattle and horses. They sent money to pay his fare and plenty for his expenses. His aunt had accom panied him to Hamburg but from there he had traveled alone, except for the little dachshund under his arm, which had not left his side day ot night since starting. While the boy was checked through like any other baggage, he carried a ticket and rode In the coaches like other passengers. The baggage check was used only to Identify him and be placed in charge of every new conductor who came on duty. He was very impatient to meet his parents, and spoke of his longing to be with them once more. SUES A POSTMASTER. Damages Asked for Failure to De liver a Card. One of the interestingproblems which the supreme court will have to unravel next winter is whether or not a post master is liable for damages ifhis clerks fall to deliver to a patron a postal card bearing the announcement of that patron's father's death. Such a case was filed in the supreme court today, as an appeal from Coffey county, where Dennis Madden, judge, held that the plaintiff, F. N. Cole, did not have sufficient grounds for action against Postmaster C. C. Gray, of Le roy, Kan. Postmaster Gray has two clerks in his office, Charles Gray and Miss Stanley. They were left in charge of the office at one time, and while they were in charge a postal card was written from Burlington, June 15, 1902, and received in Leroy, according to the postmark, on June 16 at 8 a. m. The postal card was as follows: "Bro. Frank: Father died at 1:25 yes treday afternoon. Will be buried some time tomorrow. Uave not set time yet till some of the rest of family get here. "FROM SISTER NET." Cole says he called at the postoffice every day, but did not get the card until June 19. Then the clerks told him they had overlooked the card. He sued Postmaster Gray for $1,000 damages, and after the evidence or behalf of the plaintiff had been presented Judge Madden sustained a demurrer. LONGEST OIL PIPE LINE. Standard Oil Company Extending South from Neodesha. Sour Lake, Tex., July 23. The an nouncement was made here today that the oil pipe line which the Standard oil company Is constructing from Neo desha, Kan., to Independence, Kan., is to be extended south to Port Arthur, Tex., passing through the oil fields at Corslcana. Saratoga, Sour Lake and Spindle Top. It will be the longest oil pipe line In the world, and will have a number of laterals leading out to oil fields now located, situated on the main line. NEW STRIKE AT GALENA. Lead ,and Zinc- Ore Found in Rich Quantities. Galena, Kan., July 23. It looks very promising for a new mining camp at Galena.

Suit has been filed in district court against John Hyde by Sarah J. Wilson for $5,000 damages for defamation ot character. Hyde is alleged to have been responsible for certain defamatory tales circulated against the .plaintiff. Robert Moran pleaded guilty today in city court to assaulting William Kiefer, and was fined $1 and costs. Robert Per kins?, colored, was also charged with as sault, but the complaint was amended to charge a "threat to do great bodily harm." Perkins was placed under a $100 bond to keep the peace. Jos. Braiser was the complaining witness Permission to transact business in the state of Kansas has been given to the Columbia Fire Insurance company, of Omaha; the German Fire Insurance company, of Indianapolis; the Unitea States Life Insurance company, of New York, and the National Benefit associa tion, of Wichita.

Southern Fruit and Vegetable Growing. The fertile lands along the Louisville Nashville R. R. in Alabama.West Florida and Mississippi are veritable bo nanzas for the fruit grower and truck gardener. One man sold from one single acre, 100 barrels of radishes for$900.00, gross; another patch of 4 acres radishes yielded $1, 463.00, net. In the spring of 1902, another truck gardener sold 300 barrels of potatoes in Pittsburg from 3 acres of ground for $1,548, and after paying all expenses, cleared $892.00, or $297.33 per acre. Within two weeks after sell ing his potatoes, corn was up and watermelon vines were running on the same land. He harvested his corn, sold his melons, and afterwards cut two crops of hay off of the same land, and on Jan uary 20, 1903, was planting it again in potatoes. Strawber ries yield from $300.00 to $550.00 per acre; as high as 12,480 quarts of luscious ber ries have been grown ou a single acre. Address G. A.

BY A PUMP HANDLE. The Indiana Lady Was "Kicked" and She Now Sues for Damages. Indianapolis, July 23. The "kick" of a pump handle has been made the ground for a damage suit. Matilda Bo land today sued J. Henry Morrow, or this city, for $2,000, alleging that an un ruly pump handle struck her squarely in the mouth, knocking out every tooth and severely cutting her lip. She knew the kicking tendencies ot the pump, but one day she forgot and it landed on her. She asked for dam ages in a justice's court and was al lowed $50, but no allowance was made for her injured feelings. Conquest of Wheat. Everything points to a continued ex pansion of the oriental trade. That Jap an is now buying American flour in un usually large quantities Is significant. It may be partially explained by prepara tion for possible war between Japan and Russia, but we fancy that the truth Is, as careful students of commercial move ments have foreseen, that the consump tion of wheat flour by the peoples of the orient is permanently expending. War or no war, and regardless of climatic and other conditions, both Japan and China are going to adopt the staple food of the highly civilized nations, and must adopt it, just as they must use modern weap ons and come to the modern system of commercial exchange. There is noe? cape from it. You might just as wll expect China, after her recent experV ence with the nations, to go on think ing that she could win battles by buriv ing incense, beating tomtoms and rais ing a general hullabaloo, as to think that she could expect to maintain any standing of efficiency that would fit her new-world conditions on her accustom ed food ration. American wheat flour is going to be the food of the orient. Just as certainly as American textiles now are its clothing. Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

A New Field for Young Women. A considerable number of young wo men according to a rural observer, are engaging in the poultry business, and seem, from all accounts, to be making; a success of it. A correspondent tells of being in a Chicago dry goods store on a Saturday afternoon not long ago. when she saw one or me .e.-.. celve her wages for the week. She was paid $2. having been in her place from 8 o'clock In the morning until 6 o clock In the evening every day; it was neces sary for her to be well and more ot less expensively dressed, to be con. stantly on her feet, and to keep her temper and her self-possession, fre quently under trying circumstances. On the other hand, says -our observer, take the case of the farmer girl. None make less than $2 per week, and many otiUo is Thev work only two or three hours a day; their surroundings are conducive to gooa nraim nnu cneercui ness, and they can dress as they feel in clined. The writer mentions the case of two young girls who sold last year an average of $5 worth of eggs every week during the spring and summer. Nor did they sell all they might have disoosed of. for they raised over 400 young chickens besides. Harper's WeeUiv. cure summer complnrnts of young or old. Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.

Ralph Burton of Kansas, who was in the city last night, says he is not permitting the story that is going around to the effect that he attempted to use a personal letter from President Roosevelt as an endorsement for his pro posed Jerusalem exhibit at the St. Louis World's fair, to worry im in the least. Furthermore, he Kirs ne has not seen the Sharon Springs "top" story ridicul ing him printed recently in a New York paper. "What story is that?" asked the sena tor last night when the "top" subject was broached. "I haven't seen it. "But then," he added. "I have been in Denver some time and have been busy with private business." Asked if he would reply to the report concerning his allesed plan to use the president's letter as an endorsement for his Jerusalem scheme, Senator Burton replied: "No, I shall ignore it. But then X do not 'care to talk on that subject." i "Will you ignore the 'top' story?" was asked. "Yes." "It concerns that Jerusalem letter re port, you know." "Well. I said I did not care to talk on that subject, and I won't do it. Please don't question me further along that line." Senator Burton was on his way to Cloverdale, Kan., last night, where he will deliver an address at a reunion. He said he had just come from Denver. While in Denver he consulted several civil engineers about his plan to prevent floods and promote irrigation by im pounding the excess waters in the catchment areas and was given much encouragement. "They all said the plan was feasible," said he. "They were engineers who have had much experience which woul.'iuake their ideas on the subject valuable, too. I shall push the plan." Senator Burton will be at the Coates House several hours tomorrow on his way to Madison. Wis.. where he will hold his first debate with Senator Till man of South Carolina on the negro question Monday. The two senators will debate the question seven times in all. From Madison they will visit Illinois, Kansas, Indiana and Iowa, debating at Chautauquas. Kansas City Times. HIS SKULL FRACTURED John Gordon Struck by Switch En gine at Argentine.

I FOUND IN THE WATER. Results of Investigation in Bay of San Diego. SanDiego.Cala., July 23. The inves tigation of marine life of the waters of San Diego bay by Professor Ritter and his assistants of the University of Cali fornia have resulted in valuable addi tions to the knowledge of marine bi ology of the Pacific. Among the protozoa and coelenterata, a number of new forms have been discovered within the last few days. One of these is the "peri dinium" the animalculae that cause the water to assume the reddish hue that at times has been noted in the wa ter and that is said to give the charac teristic hue to the Red sea. Other rare specimens discovered are the radiolaria, with skeletons of silica and of marvel ously elaborate patterns, which hither to hive been reported only by the fam ous Challenger expedition to the tropical Atlantic in 1872. The most remarkable discovery, perhaps, is that of the "sap phirina" whose irridescence vies with the plumage of the peacock, showing in turn violet, purple, green, copper and bronze and at night becoming phos phorescent. Numbers of new specimens of jellyfish have been found and new ones of the order of crustaceaus. MAIN GATEWAY. Plans for Entrance to St Louis World's Fair. St. Louis, July 23. Chief of Design Masqueray is engaged on plans for the main gateway to the Louisiana Pur chase exposition, which will be located at the north end of the grand court. The structure will be massive in proportions seventy feet high, three hundred feet long and sixtv feet wide. Its form will be a capital "U" with the open side to ward the Cascade gardens at the oppo site end of the court. The center of the "U" will be a double colonnade of Doric columns, coupled in pairs and surmounted by a monumental architrave and attic. Visitors to the World's fair will pass between the col umns to gain entrance to the court. Wings of the construction will be given up to toilet, restaurant and other conveniences. These wings will be two stories high, and on both floors conces sions will be located. The entire com position will cost between $30,000 and $50,000. THE AST0K CLP HACE. Seven Sloops and Three Schooners in the Contest. Newport, R. I., July 23. Seven sloops and three schooners started in the Astor cup race today. Last year the New York Yacht club adopted a new meas urement rule limiting the draft of all vachts to IS feet. The three cup yachts this year all draw more than IS feet, so are barred from competing, but the club offered a special cup for the cup defender candidates. The courses were the same as have obtained for the past 21 years, two ob tuse triangles each 38 miles round. Received by Lord Mayor. London, July 23. The French senators and deputies representing the interna tional arbitration group, accompanied by a number of Eritish members of par liament, were formally received today by Lord Mayor Samuel and the lady mayoress at the mansion house. The lord mayor and Baron D'Estournelles de Constant, leader of the visiting delega tion, made speeches, during which they reiterated and emphasized the desire for continued international friendship and the conclusion of a treaty of arbitration. The Frenchmen afterwards visited the stock exchange and the financial dis trict. Original Water Man Dead. Chicago, July 23. James Corrigan, the original "water man" of Chicago and a cousin of the late Archbishop Corrigan of New York, is dead, aged 84 years. Mr. Corrigan was a native of County Meath. Ireland. He came to the United States in 1S43. With a keen head for business he soon found employment in r.irntuiimc an no-op stricken community in Chicago with pure drinking water. He filled a barrel several rimes a nay with water from the lake and peddled the contents at 2 cents a pail. He con tinued this work for ten years. Mr. Cor rigan's last work was in the water de partment of the city. Organ Grinding Earl's Case. T The i-IMini of IVili- 1 t "ev Tridn..,,.t Hinton, the former organ-grinder in tha streets of London, who is a claimant to the earldom of Poulett. was before the committee on privilege of the house of lords today. The claimant who is of striking appearance, was present with counsel, who requested an adjournment, as his evidence was not ready. Counsel for the defense was allowed to state his case, contending that it was impossible for the claimant to be a son of the late earl, though the earl's marriage to the claimant's mother was not denied. The hearing will probably last several days. American Criclteters at London. Ixindon. July 23. The visiting Phila delphia cricketers began a match today with V. F.

Many people have tried the food Grape-Nuts simply with the idea of avoiding the trouble of cooking food in the hot months. All of these have found something be side the ready cooked food idea, for Grape-Nuts is a scientific food that tones up and restores a sick stomach as well as repairs the waste tissue in brain and nerve centers.

Topeka Subscriber Keep 63 "Hello Girls" Answering Calls. i Sixty-three "hello girls" are kept busy throughout the day by the two telephone companies operating in To-, peka for the accommodation of local subscribers. Nine do the work at night. The busiest days in the week are Monday and Saturday at the Independ ent exchange, and Monday, Tuesday and Friday at the Bell office. The extra business on Mondays. Fri days and Saturdays may be accounted for by the calls of the commission men, j who use the telephones a great deal on these days. Then there is a good deav of business on Saturdays and Mondays because they immediately precede and follow a day when almost all business is Suspended. The closing of the banks and offices on Saturday afternoon makes the business at that time sorae-J what lighter than the rest of the day. The operators begin to get very busy at the central offices as early as 6 o'clock in the morning, as then is when the commission men commence to use the phones. Extra help has to go on at this time to relieve the night operators, and by 8 o'clock the full day force is in service. As many as twenty or thirty calls from one commission house are given in from twenty minutes to half an hour. The commission men who have a number of calls to make give their operator their first numbei and add, More to follow, so that as soon as they have rung off on the first call central will be -ready to give them connection with their next customer. From 8 to 10 o'clock all the other early morning business is added to that of the commission men and at this period the central offices are as busy as gas meters. After 10 o'clock there is a lull until about 1:30, when the calls be gin to come rapidly for two hours or such a matter, and from 5 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon there is another strenuous hour. The full force is retained until half past 10 o'clock at night, when tho, smaller night force goes on. Business from 10:30 at night to 6 o'clock in the mot-nina" is lie-ht.- exrent from shout j o'clock until 4, when it picks up again and sometimes keeps the operators j jumping; to answer the calls. This in- crease in business is caused by police j and hackmen's calls and the arrival of I the mornins trains. Monday is the busiest day in the week for the toll line, and this is caused by the business of the commission houses. Both the telephone companies worked overtime during the flood and were obliged to put on extra help to accom modate their subscribers. The com. panics have a list of substitutes beside their regular operators, and this re serve force was exhausted for the first week or two after the flood. T1IUKST0N FELL IN. Tried to Walk a Dam Only a Foot Wide. New York, July 23. Ex-Senator John M. Thurston of Nebraska, has taken the temperature of sea water at Coney Is land, but his enjoyment of the experi ence was curtailed by the fact that he had his clothes on. The Nebraskan and his wife visited the island as the guests of an old acquaintance who is now pro prietor of an amusement resort there. They were taken on board an electric launch for a trip down the lagoon. They made a circuit of the grounds, and then passed out through a small lock into Gravesend bay. After a pleasant trip the launch was headed back to the park. Owing to a change in the tide the lock had been closed. The visitors were con fronted with a walk over the dam, a foot wide, or climbing the fence. They chose the former and Mrs. Thurston negotiated the distance without diffi culty. Her husband ventured across next and when half way over he lost his balance. The creek is only four feet deep but there was plenty of mud and the former senator was not presentable when he finally reached shore. A change of clothing was found for him and the party came back to town declaring they had a good time despite the accident. COURT RUNS A BREWERY. Made a Profit of $500,000 Last Year.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1903. nmom-roiir R. HEDGES. His Ability to 15o Manj Places at the SaniB Time Was Xot Appreciated bj Gen. Joseph L. JJristow. WAS TOLD TO QUIT. Held Office of Superintendent of Free Delivery. Makes No Denial Hut Offers Ex planation!. Washington, July 23. Charles Hedges has been removed from the office of superintendent of free delivery of the Jjostoflice department on the charge of falsifying his diary and loaning his traveling commission. It is charged that he reported himself at various -places when in fact he was not at those places on the dates mentioned, in wme In stances being hundreds of miles away. Mr. Hedges, while making no general denial of the charges, contended that they were not sufficient justification fur removal. Krvin H. Thorpe, postoftlce in epector In charge at New York, who has been assisting in the administration of the free delivery service since the in ception of the investigation, has been designated acting superintendent of free delivery in place of Mr. Hedges. In the official statement of the case made public by Fourth Assistant Post master General Bristow he says in part: "On October 25, 1900, he (Hedges) states under oath in his diary, that he was at Joplin, Mo., on 'extension of free delivery service,' when in fact he was in Mansfield, Ohio, attending the funeral of former Secretary John Sherman. On De cember 7. 1S99, he reports himself at San Antonio, Texas, "investigating carrteis1 service," while in fact he was in Mexico examining property. In the month of October, 1899. A. W: Machen, superin tendent of free delivery, was sick with typhoid fever and Hedges was at the department acting as superintendent. In his diary he states under oath that he was at various places. namely, New York, Philadelphia, Bridgeport, Conn.. Camden, N. J., and elsewhere, actually engaged in traveling on the business of free delivery service. Superintendents of free delivery are allowed a per diem of H per day in lieu nf expenses for each day engaged actually traveling on the business of the departments. Hedg 's' false statements of his whereabouts were manifestly forthe pulpose oi col lecting per diem to wjil h he was not entitled. "There are many other instances of similar falsification. The facts were submitted to the postmaster general some days since, who directed Hedges' removal for reasons above set forth." The case was worked up by PostoiTke Inspector George Sutton, assisted by Inspectors Bcniietr and Jones. There were several charges on file against Mr. Hedges, but none of these constituted the basis of his dismissal. The acts which led to his removal were discover ed by the inspectors in the course of their general investigation of the rec ords of the free delivery office. The case has been under investigation for sev eral weeks. Mr. Bristow summoned Mr. Hedges shortly before the close of office hours yesterday afternoon and notified him of his dismissal. Mr. Hed'S was appointed to the pos tal service from the Tenth congressional district of Texas on July 1, 1X9S. and was appointed superintendent of the free delivery July 1, 1901. His salary was $3,000 a year. He had charge of the delivery service in the cities, the rural free delivery service being under anoth er superintendent, and both being under the general supervision of August W. Machen. In a FtaUmcnt last nlsht Mr. Hedges said: "While I was assistant superintendent of the free delivery, with headquarters at New York. I was called to Washing ton to take charge of the entire service, while Mr. Machen was ill with typhoid fever. While so acting I got J2.000 sal ary ns assistant superintendent, while Mr. Machen received $.1,500. It was necessary for me to get the per diem allowance to make the services and the compensation equal. It has been the firactlce of the office for the party tak ng the place of the head of the service to claim per diem in some form. In my case, I was also supervising the eastern division while officiating as general su perintendent here. Herbert W. Valen tine, now in the New York postoflice and formerly stenographer there under me, surrendered private letters and notes to the inspectors which gave them this information. I used to' drop him a line when I was traveling to keep him post ed on my whereabouts. Valentine is the one who used this postofttee com mission. It was used with the knowledge of General Superintendent Machen and of First Assistnnt Postmaster General Johnson. Johnson was anxious to go out on field work. Mr. Bristow refused to allow the issuance of a commission for Valentine on the ground that he was a clerk and not an officer. Mr. Machen. however, held that as Valen tine was engaged on the work of the office, his use of the commission was not illegal. As to the San Antonio ref erence, I was in Mexico, but not ex amining mining property. I did not see this mining property. In making my reports I never put down towns that I had not visited, nor did I put down all the towns that I visited, as I was per mitted to do. Thus. T omitted mention ing the Mansfield visit because I haTd no official work there, and Joplin was the last place where I had official work. I simply prolonged the time on the list." Mr. Bristow declined to say anything as to the status of Mr. Valentine, who, Mr. Hedges says, traveled on his com mission. Reform Schema Is Inadequate. Constantinople, July 23. The increas ing activity of t"he revolutionists in Macedonia and the difficulties en countered by the Turkish trooDS are producing an unpleasant effect in offi cial quarters and apprehension in dip lomatic circles, where It is believed the existing situation will lead to fresh demands on the part of the powers, in cludlns the establishment of efficacious Kuropean control. Even the Auslrians anil Russians now admit that the re form scheme is inadequate. The Shamrock in a Fog. Atlantic Highlands, N. J., July 23. Fir Thomas Llpton watched anxiously from the deck of the Erin while for an hour his cup challenger was tem porarily lost to his view behind a black wall of blinding fog. When the Sham rock III came out of the fog w ith her gaff broken Sir Thomas was so pleased to see her safe that the accident was of little importance to hirn. The steel -ff belli and oe -lvets pulled out about ten fept from the mast as the yacht Jumped into a sharp tumble of sea. It did not break entirely in two. THE WINDS WERE HOT. Mercury Climbs Over the 100 Mark in Western Kansas. AT HUTCHINSON. Hot winds began to blow at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, the first of the season. The thermometer reached 105 at 2 o'clock.

The ther mometer reached 108 in the shade. It was the hottest day of the year. Great damage will be done to growing corn. Wheat is being thieshed as rapidly as available machines can do it. The crop is of good quality, but the yield is not so large as was expected. AT SAUNA. Wednesday was the nottest day In Sa lina since the beginning of the summer. The government thermometer at the lo cal observatory registered 103 degrees at noon. AT NEWTON. The government thermometer here registered 107 degrees, the highest in years. Corn, which is iust tasseling out. was badly scorched by the hot winds j which rrevailej during the afternoon. I Corn in this county has been damaged 50 per cent by the hot winds. A good rain has not tailed here for a month and f moisture is badly needed. The pastures, especially, aie beginning to suiter. AT LARNET. The fiercest hot wind in many years visited this section of Kansas Wednes day, blowing troni the south. At 10 o'clock the thermometer registered X12 degrees in the shade, and by 2 o'clock had climbed to 112. The damage to corn and feed crops will be great. Many fields of corn are already damaged be yond recovery and kaflir coin and other feed crops aie badly injuied. The wind changed to the west this evening but at 6 o'clock the tht rmometer still register ed over 100 degrees. AT KINSLEY.

Several hundred acres of fine wheat was burned today between Kins ley and Offerle by a lire started from a Santa Fe engine. AT PRATT. A hot wave stiuck here yesterday and the thermometer stood at 109 i.i the shade. The extremely hot winds have ruined the corn crop as we have had no rai.i for six weeks and the ground is in a parched condition. Thieshing is in full pi ogress and the wheat will average 20 bushels to the acre. Oats and barley are extra pood but corn will be a total failure. The first new wheat brought in tested 61 pounds and none has test ed lower than CO pounds. Threshing is delayed because the men cannot stand the cxtieme heat. AT WELLINGTON. The 'heat has been excessive here. ther mometers registering as high as 108 and 109 degrees in the shade Wednesday af ternoon. A hot wind did damage to the corn, which has already begun to curl and fire in spots. Farmers have had to suspend work in the middle of the day on account of the extreme heat. UNION MEN'S SIDE. Bookbinders Issue Statement in the Miller Case. Washington, July 23. The public state ment issued by the bookbinders' union ill the Miller case says that the trouble orig inated in a charge against Miller, that the charge was considered by a committee em powered to adjust differences, that Miller not only refused to make an explanation to a member of the committee deputized to call unon him, but spoke in an insulting manner. "Our organization," the statement re cites, "docs not or can not dictate the policy of conducting the affairs of the bindery In the government printing office. The rules are the same as control all the union shoos in the I'nited States. "That Mr. Miller had cheapened any class of work for the government and that that was the cause of his suspension and expulsion, is not true. Miller's methods w,re the most unbuslness like of any fore man in the oflice and his tactics in punish ing men under him were contemptible. In ofiiee and public places he made ijse of scurrilous and abusive epithets about em ployes, causing a distrust in his division as to permanence of employment. The statement says Miller Ignored the notice to appear before thos1 delegated to inquire into his case and alleges tnat tne testi mony of witnesses sustained the charges to the satisfaction of the union. He also is charged by the union wi:h having sought to influence the legislation derogatory to the interests of the society and which fur nish d a certain member of congress with price schedules of bookbinders in other cities with a view of showing that the bookbinders in the government printing offices were not doing sufficient work and with having given to this representative an official copv of his former trial, which the union albgfs was a 'surreptitious act,' the ropy being the property of the society. The statement closes as follows: "The union has never requested Mr. Mil ler's discharge from the government print ing office. It should be noted, however, that our constitution forbids us to work with a suspended or expelled member. We learned that Mr. Miller had been dis charged on legal charges preferred by the public printer in accordance with the civil law. Our evidence clearly demonstrated that he had continually abused the public printer in public places." The statement makes personal allegations against Miller and says that aflidavits h;ive been rlaced in the hands of the proper officials for full and complete in vestigation. Mr. Miller Is now in Minneapolis. Four Drown in Canal. Seattle, Wash.. July 23.

Increase of Twenty-four Mil lions Orer County Estimates. SHAWNEE DECREASED. Reduction of 18 Per Cent. Al lowed on Heal Estate. County Returned Higher Valu ation Than Last Year. At noon today the report of the state board of equalization was completed and made public. The board determines the total taxa ble property in the state to be $388,724, 4S0, instead of $364,724,221, as reported by the county clerks, a net increase of $24.0ft0,2.",9. Last year the total taxable property whs increased only $7,ooo,0oo D the state board over tne valuations as re tut tud by the county clerks. Shawl ev county asked fur a decrease of 20 per cent, and was given a decrease of 18 per cent. Tnis reduces the valua tion from $17,700,597 as it turned by tne county cle.k, to 115,376,763, a net saving to the county of $2, 323, 834 in taxable pioperty. Last year the county was taxed o.i $15,537,606 worth of property, so this year's valuation is less than in 1!)02. This decrease in Shawnee county was not granted because of flood damage. This is stated ..emphatically by members of the board. They reduced the Shaw nee valuation simply because the as sessors in this county valued p.operty on a 50 per cent basis, and returneu val uations on all classes of property which were higher than the general average tor oth r counties of the state similarly situated. That Hood damage had noth ing to do with the board's action is shown by the 20 per cent increase in pe'.sonal property which was given to Wyandotte county. Last year SKawnee county secured a reduction of 10 per cent in valuation. This year it fared much better and the total decrease given to Shawnee county ($2,323,834) is about half of the aggre gate decrease for the entire state t$3, 977.040). Shawnee county is one of the sixteen counties in the state to secure anv reduction whatever. The board has fixed the rate at .0064 mills. Last year the rate was .0055. This is an increase of nine-tenths of a mill. In general, the board made a very sweeping increase in the valuationa throughout the state. The total in crease in 64 counties was $20,977,299. The total decrease in sixteen counties was $5,977,040. The counties in which the assessed valuation was allowed to remain as re ported by the county clerk were Ander son. Chautauqua. Cheyenne, Clay. Coffey, Decatur, Edwards, Elk, Ellis. Cove, Graham, Grant, Gray, Greeley. Hodgeman, Kearney, Lane, Linn, Lo gan, Lyon, Sedgwick, Sheridan, Sher man. Thomas, Woodson. The assessment of personal property in Wyandotte county was raised 20 per cent. This increases the Wyandotte county assessment from $17,413,490 tt 17.945,534. Sedgwick county was allowed to re., main at $11,601,483 as reported by the county clerk. Leavenworth county was raised 2 per cent., making its revised valuation $9,739,066. One of. the largest total increases ot any county in the state was Douglas, where the Increase was 36 per cent., and re'sulted in a net gain in valuation of $1. 557, 696. The largest increase in the state was in Atchison county, where the board raised the valuations 43 per cent., making an increase of $1,832,489. The board made no changes whatever in the valuation of the railroad, tele phone and telegraph property of the state, as returned by the board of rail road assessment. The total amount of taxes for state purposes which the assessment will raise during 1903 is $2,487,838. The following table shows the total state tax which each county is expected to pay.

The subject of eating has so enlisted a German scientist's interest that he has made tabulations as to the actual process. The size of the ordinary bite or mouthful for the average person ne finds is three-tenths of a. cubic inch. And it takes thirty seconds completely to masticate a mouthful of solid food like beefsteak or cheese. The size of the largest bite recorded is half an inch in diameter. The tongue guides as to the size of mouthfuls to be swallowed, the tongue's judgment being helped by sen sations through the teeth and gums. There is no knowing whether the pro fessor made his observations around a camp fire when the eaters were off guard and etiquette in abeyance, or in formal dining room circles. But it is certain that into eating there goes con siderable individual expression, and the demeanor and practice at meal time become significant of the person's gen eral temper and qualifications. Here are some that a woman has interpreted: The woman who as she eats flushes noticeably, swallows her food rapidly, almost in Jerks, and keeps continually turning over the morsels on her plate, is she to whom material things mean a good deal. She is Felfish and capable of being spiteful. However, fair and shapely in youth she will be stout at 40. The girl who looks pretty when she eats is the vivacious, dimpling sort of girl who makes into new life when she sings or talks or laughs. She puts small, nicely proportioned mouthfuls between her pretty red lips with a dainty pre cision that makes it seem a rice atten tion on her part really to eat the food. And she manages her knife and fork as though she made a pleasure of it, im parting a certain grace and facility to the operation. Her eating manner be tokens a sunny temper and a disposition to make the best of things. The nervous girl can be told by the manner in which she breaks her bread and sips her soup. She eatsi in a quick, voracious manner, even though eating little, and with evidently very limited interest 1n the food for its own sake. Such a girl will never have the force or courage to pursue her ambitions. She would be crushed by adversity rather than rebound from it. And a friend to confide in and rely on is necessity to her. The girl who eats steadily as though it were a business to be got through, not sparing much Interest to the talk going on around or to the relishable qualities of the viands, is the systemat ic, practical girl who will make a good wife and orderly housekeeper. Shfc would look naturally to the mair chance in household or business in vestment, be thrifty and economical, and not be apt to bother her husband or friends with flighty, erratic tenden cies. The girl of heedless view is told h the spoon, left upright in the half- drained cup, the knife and fork left at cross angles or balanced ticklishly on the plate, and the chair pushed back just as she arose from it. She is of in sensible, indiscriminating nature, with little chance to develop an interest in the finer things of life. When she be comes a housekeeper her servants will be slatternly and the nicer points of convenience and household comfort will be missinsr. The girl who eats onion In every form, not so much because she likes them ns because she believes them to be whole some; who eats cereals on principle and abstains religiously from desserts and sugary confections that she deems per nicious, is the sort to develop strong mindedness and independent proclivities before she is out of the twenties. She. will make a good wife, but not a com fortable one. She is the sort of woman to get for herself a hobby and never quit riding it. The girl who eats very slowly, even while not consuming much, munching her mouthfuls deliberately and surely, is of impractical turn, given to undervalu ing things that the majority of people count as of most consequence. She is fastidious and aesthetic, destined nev?r to make much show in the world, and to care little for that fact so long as she has leisure and a well ordered ex istence. The sort of girl to make a good help meet for a man is she whose organ of taste is as alert as her other faculties; who eats in a noticing, discriminating way that implies her recognition of the importance of matters usually consider ed humdrum. She does not hesitate to interrupt the most interesting talk by asking for another helping or for some condiment she lacks, and shows plainly her belief that the embroidery of life should be subordinate to the main ma terial. The girl, on the other hand, who is so taken up with the topics under discus sion that she forgets to eat and has her plates in the various courses borne away before she has more than tasted them, is ill-fitted for the sterner duties of life. She will always be entertain ing herself with whims and illusions while real opportunities slide by. She will lack judgment and make mistakes, but will be a warm-hearted, depend able mate to the husband whose nature is strong enough to guidP her. The girl who. in the ordinary routine of boarding house or notei me, nurrtes through her meal, even though she has leisure in plenty, and never fails to gather her plates and dishes and pile them for the waiter s Denent. is one to whom dispatch and system are Inborn, and the subtler things, of life meaning less. She comes from a stock of steady going housewives so engrossed with the homely round of existence that they had no time to cultivate the graces. If such a woman had millions and untold lux ury within her grasp she could not rid herself of these slavish housewifely pro Densities. For a woman to slough forward in her oruni hi uui tun Itush Upward Began Soon After the Opening. Discouraging Threshing News Causes Adrance in Wheat. CORN MAKES A GAIN.

X r 1 i. BUSY MEETING. Streets and Walks Committee Will Hold Important Session. Will Consider Their New Citj Ordinances Friday. DRAT QUESTION UP. Merchants Object to Sixth Street Being Forbidden. Want Vehicles to Make Thor oughfare Seem Busy. Friday afternoon's meeting of the streets and walks committee will be a busy one. At least three important measures will be up for consideration. Whatever action the committee takes is likely to be ratiiled by the council. Namely, the things to be considered are the hack and express wagon stand or dinance, the Second street opening ben efit district ordinance, and the proposed plumbers' ordinance. The important question of whether the city or the express wagon drivers are to have control over the business streets is to be decided. Just at the present time the authority of the ex pressmen stems to be in the ascendency. An ordinance has been passed and is now In effect forbidding the use of East fciixth street between tjuincy and Kan sus avenue by drays as a place to wait for business, but the draymen are se renely ignoring its existence and have induced the council to give them a. hearing for the repeal of the ordinance. The question of drays or no drays has come to be a subject of neighborhood controversy on Kast Sixth street, and the li leads and enemies of the ordi nance will turn out in full force to pre sent their sides before the streets and .walks committee. Councilman C V. Wolf was instru mental in the passage of the ordinance, lie keeps store on Kast Sixth street. The block is constantly crowded with the wagons of traders and those of ex pressmen. Occasionally a would-be purchaser finds it impossible to get through the line of drays to a stort, and he drives away to one which Is not barricaded. Apparently when the or dinance was passed the merchants on Kast Sixth street were unitedly in favor of it. Hut it had no sooner gone into effect than the draymen sent a repre. fentative before the council with a pe tition containing about twenty names of alleged Kast Sixth street businesM men who were in favor of letting tho express wagons remain. As there ap peared to be a considerable division of opinion the council decided to give the opponents of the ordinance anothe hearing, and they will have it Friday af torrjoon. K. .Mot:tomery, nn F.;ist Sixth street grocer, takis a different view of the ti ff cl f the presence of the vxprtssmen up on his street. In telling why he signed the petition to give the expressmen an other hearing, he said today: "The wagons standing on Kast Sixth ftreet give it a lilisy appearance. It makes thiiifcs look as though trade was ac tive and kei ns things crowded. People like to go where the crowd does, and I think it makes trade better. Trade has never been better here than it is right now, and I think the express wagons help. miner man nurt. I do not care much either way, hot. T was willing that the express men rhonld have a fair chance for their Side it' they wanted it." Councilman Wolf, as well as most of the other cnuncilmen, is in favor of keep ing the wagons on quiet streets and it is doubtful if the rehearing of the proposition w ill help the cause of the baggage smash ers. About the only possible outcome of the fight on the Second street opening project that has been worrying residents of the Fourth ward and members of the council for the past month, will be its suspension for another year. The proposition is to open S -cond street between Fillmore and Western avenue. The best judgment of the council is that in view of the opposition to the benefit district proposed for the work, because it is a small cine, the whole matter otmht to le laid over for another year, when all the unopened streets in the vicinity will be included in a very larg- district nnd opened for travel. As it would be neeesL-nry to include the assessment tor this district in this yenr's t;ix rolls, which tare to be made up in August, and it is too late row to accomplish that, the whole matter will undoubtedly be postponed until another year. Councilman W. F. Weber is in favor of a reduction of the salnry proposed in the new plumbers' ordinance to a llgur-' lower thnn the Jl,? per urniim sugg'scted. Oth erwise Mr. Weber likes the idea of the ordinance, in speaking of it today he said: "It y ems to be a goinl thing and a meas ure which will pive protection to property owners and revenue to the city. Plumbing is a sci r.ee of which the average man knows little, nnd the free services of a plumbing t xpert to house builders will be more thnn nppreeinted. We will have to pet a relbihle man for the office, of course, but the principle of the thing is good." HELD UNDER A SPELL. A Hypnotist Halts a Young Girl in the Street. Willlamsport, Pa., July 23. Dr. A. C. Lamade today worked for five hours to save the life of 15-year-old Maggie Hun ter, who was found by a policeman on a street reeling in delirium. She soon became unconscious, with all the evi dences of poisoning. A man who had been with the girl escaped. When the gill was restored to her senses she told a startling story. She said that while walking along the street she was approached by a stranger, a sharp-eyed man, who looked into her eyes like a snake, then passed his hands before her face. She tried to run, but the man stepped in front of her, keeping his eyes on hers constantly, and repeating the hand movements until she remembered noth ing but a half-whispered command, "Follow me." She has a filmy recollection of enter ing a room where several tables stood, and then she was given something to drink by the man. The next thing she remembers was a violent struggle with the stranger, and ttien she found herself in an alley, along which she ran, her companion following at her side. It was in this alley that the policeman found her. having heard the girl's strange pleading to be left alone. The stranger ran away. Dr. Lamade says the girl had evident ly been given knock-out drops. She is a nervous wreck. THE PRESIDENT'S RIDE He Keached His Uncle's Home Hefore Six O'clock. Sayville, L. I., July 23. The president left Sagamore Hill at the f:ig end uf a severe thunder storm. During the entire night it had been raining heavily, the downpour being .accompanied by a tre mendous electrical display. Undeterred by the raging elements President Roose velt and his son prepared for their Jour ney. The storm had abated somewhat by 2 o'clock and soon after they started subsided entirely. The president and his son were accompanied on their ride by two nephews of President Roosevelt. For more than two hours the little cavalcade rode through a night that was inky in its blackness, but shortly after four o'clock the dawn broke and in a little while the sun was shining gloriously. President Roosevelt on his favorite riding horse, set the pace, The odore Jun., ridirTg the horse Wyoming presented to the president by the citi zens of Douglas, Wyoming. The party arrived hce a few minute3 before six o'clock this morning, riding directly to the home of the president's uncle. Robt. B. Roosevelt, about a mile from this lit tle town. The president arrived at too early an hour to attract much attention. Since he came he has spent the time about the grounds of his uncle's estate. His visit is of a purely social character and it is understood it will not be made the occasion of the least public demonstrar-tion. EWES TO TESTIFY. He Saw the Man Who Shot Cockrill. Jackson, Ky., July 23. Capt. Ewen left today for Kexington. He will go to Cynthlana Sunday to testify against Jetc and White. Ewen was escorted by sol diers as far as Torren. At that place the troops left the train and escorted Charles Green, a witness before the back to Jackson. Green is to testify in grand Jury, who has been threatened, the Cockrill case, it is claimed that he saw the men who fi' the shot that killed Cockrill.

Mrs. Vanderbilt'a Ambition to Lead Gotham's Smart Set. New York, July 23. William K. Van derbilt. Sr., and his bride, formerly Mrs. Lewis M. Rutherfurd. will arrive in New York on the White Star liner Oceanic. S Their advent here will confront soci ety with a problem upon which there has been great speculation ever since the announcement of Mr. and Mrs. Van derbilt'a intention to return to America. What will be attitude of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, Mr. Vanderbilt's former wife, toward the couple, and what will be their attitude toward her, are questions that are earnestly debated by those who are anxious' to retain the friendship and favor of both houses. Mrs. Belmont is one of the recognized leaders of the ultra smart set, but Mrs. Vanderbilt, by virtue of her own social station as well as the position of her husband, has no small claim to leader ship, and she is credited with an ambi tion to wrest the scepter even from Mrs. Astor herself. While nothing is known of the plans of the Vanderbilts, it is re garded as almost certain that they will go to Newport, which is expected to be come the scene of a social war that will split the smart set in a way and lead to consequences of the utmost import ance. It is known to a certainty that Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt will go for a time to ldlehour, Mr. Vanderbilt's country estate at Oakdale, L. I., for an array of workmen have been engaged for some time in putting the estate into condi tion for occupancy. An extended trip over the New York Central lines is evi dently also contemplated, as Vander bilt's private car has been renovated, in anticipation of his return, and is side tracked near the Grand Central station ieady for immediate use. Three Miners Killed. Tucson, Ariz., July 23. Cananea ad vices state that Fred Massey, foreman at the Indiana mine, met death in a horrible manner yesterday. Massey was caught between the hoist cage and the station wall and his body ground to pieces. Charles Crandali, a miner in the Capote mine was dashed to death yes terday by the cage getting beyond the control of the engineer. The cage fell 600 feet. William Dutton, foreman of the Arizona Clay mine near Benson, was killed Wednesday. EXPENSES HIGH. City of Topeka Paid Out $125, 000 in July. The month of July has been an ex pensive one to the city, the expenditures from the various funds in the treasury amounting already to nearly $125,000. The city has paid off its accumulated water bill of two years which was held up on account of the litigation started for the recovery of the waterworks. Since the negotiations for the purchase of the plant have been nearly concluded the city has agreed to pay the money it has held up since the Topeka Water company's franchise expired. The rec ords of the city treasurer's office show that no claims of the water company have been allowed since July, 1901- This month $25,000 was paid out and the water bill settled. In addition to this the city returned the $5,000 deposit placed by the Vine wood Park Railway company at the time it was granted a franchise. The company has manifested its intention of carrying out the contract incurred under its franchise and has earned the right to take down its money. Paving estimates have been allowed to the amount of $1,500 and the city has paid off a large installment of paving bonds and interest, amounting to $70,000. This is an unusually large sum. The Janu ary payment will be much smaller as most of the bonds come due in July. City Treasurer M. M. Hale received $30,000 from the county today. This amount is divided between the city and the school board. NEGHO HAD AN AX. Three Leiperville Women Had a Ter rible Experience. Chester. Pa., July 23. Justice Gray of Leiperville, held in $1,500 bail for trial at court William Demby, colored, ac cused of running amuck with an axe and causing a reign of terror in the streets of that suburb today. The accu sation sworn to against Demby at the hearing was as follows: Drunk, and swearing he would have blood, Demby with his axe staggered up to the residence of Mrs. Dorsey, struck the door a blow with the axe and sent it swinging open w ith a crash. Two women j sat in the room with Mis. Dorsey, and as Demby swung- the axe for a blow they ran screaming frofn the house, with the colored man in pursuit, swear ing that he would kill them. Leiperville is an Iiish settlement and the town was speedily roused to a high pitch of excitement. But Demby was sober enough to see his danger and dropped his axe and ran. He was caught by Officer Robinson of Chester, who took him back to Leiper ville, with the result as above stated. DEMAND FOR HELP. Free Employment Agency Has Calls for Workmen. Although the harvest hand business is no longer the "paramount issue" with the Topeka free employment agency de mand for workmen of all sorts contin ues heavy. Labor is several points above par. If the employment agency had them it could place fully 100 men and women in remunerative employ ment. As usual farm labor Is most in request Haying is on and the call for hay harvesters has taken the place re linquished by that for wheat gatherers. The demands come in from various parts of the state although, of course the local need is felt most by the To peka agency. Kansas appears to be hungry and cooks are wanted everywhere. Positions offering $50 per month and admitting of accommodations for married men are recorded. Oiher $20 and $30 Jobs, carry ing board of course, are numerous. A few men are wanted for work on lawns and small farms close to town while the Topeka Railway company, the brick yards and paving contractors can give work paying from 15 to 1714 cents per hour. A late call from Sheridan coun ty, for harvest hands has been received by State Director T. B. Gerow and re ferred to the Topeka agency. The regu lar harvest rate has been suspended and this order is likely to go begging. s Gains Billion and a Half; New York, July 23, For the year 1903 the total budget of New York city is given as $97,119,301, while last year it was $98,619,000.

John Bender, proprietor of the Magnet restaurant, has agreed to sell out his shop and move away, and the police have agreed to forget the disorderly house charge they made against him. Bender was convicted in police court, but the evidence was such that he stood an excellent chance of having the case thrown out when it reached the district court. Bender says he has intended for some time to emigrate, and although he is confident that the district court would save him, prefers the way proposed by the police to coming back here in Sep tember for trial. The cases against the girls found at the Magnet when it was raided have been dismissed. SECTION ROSS DIED A HERO Gave Up Life in Effort to Save Two Miners. Morristown, N.

The need is greater now iur cue hat is as bad and tne aust tenioio more unendurable. Then the cars run only to Gordon street, covering not half the distance to the end of the track. Under the new ruling the cars do not stop exeeot at street crossings. This rule may be well enough in other localities, but for the present stops should be made anywhere that a pas senger mav signal in the middle of th block or anywhere else for the reasor. that many of the sidewalks are still impassable, while the streets are shoe top deen sometimes in mud and some times in' dust. At the very best the service is poor, and regardless of any and all general rules an exception should be made on this part of the line until regular service can be insured. Under its franchise the company is rightfully expected to render the best service practicable. It is expected to cover the crossing of the bridge. The people have a right to demand this. The service is not so burdensome at present that there is not ample time to stop for passengers, especially when frequent and prolonged stops are made for refreshments or something else in the middle of the block or otherwise, when the car is entirely empty. Th company's attention is called to the present conditions by and at the re quest of sl score of CITIZENS. THE OFFICIAL GRAND to San Francisco, t WILL LEAVE KANSAS VIA ARMY TRAIN California.

An interesting theory is advanced in explanation of the recent defalcations of army officers and civilian employes in the Philip pines by the Manila Times, a copy of which has Just been received at the war department. "It would seem," says the paper, "that several years spent in the tropics has a tendency to weaken the moral fiber, make one indifferent to the con sequences of a criminal act and reckless of any concern for the future. The fact that in the majority of instances where trusted employes have been culp able they have made little or no effort to cover up their peculations other than in the most bungling manner tends to show that but little thought was taken for the day of reckoning. "Where they have attempted to leave the islands but little if any pains have been taken to mislead the authorities as to their destination, even with the cer tain knowledge that they would be ap prehended and returned to Manila." GOING TO HONOLULU. Oeorge T. Nicholson Arranging for an Ocean Voyage. George T. Nicholson of Chicago, gen eral passenger agent of the Santa Fe, is getting up a party of ladies to go to Honolulu next month. Mrs. W. J. Black of Topeka,, and her sister. Miss Atchison of Leavenworth, will be included in the party which will start in about a fortnight. Mr. Nichol son does not expect to accompany the party. Ask $40,000 for Salvage. Honolulu, July 23. (By Pacific cable.) Salvage claims for $40,000 each have been filed by the owners of the tugs Fearless and Charles Counselman against the steamer Clavering, belong ing to the China Commercial Steamship company. The Clavering a few days ago struck on a reef at the entrance of Honolulu harbor and was pulled oft by the tugs named, without having sus tained much damage. It is believed that the claims of the tugboat owners will be contested and litigation over the mat ter is likely. Earthquake at Salt Lake. Salt Lake. July 23. Several slight earthquake shocks were felt in this city at 1:40 this morning. The disturbance seemed to pass from the southeast to northwest- In Ogden, 37 miles north, the shock was the severest ever felt there. The disturbance lasted about ten seconds and appeared to be in the form of short quick vibrations. .No damage, however, is reported in this city or Ogden. The Shamrocks Bane Again. New York. July 23. The Shamrocks left their moorings for the light ship under sail. The wind was weft by north and very near a calm. The Shamrock III went over the line at 12:51:10 and Shamrock I at 12:53:05 (unofficial). The spinnaker sheet on Shamrock III parted after a few minutes of her course, and lost much time.

Then fol lowed a reac tion. We were taught the beauty of a plain back one guiltless of trim ming, even of seams and, be hold, all the trimming was loaded on the front of the gown, with per h a p s but a glimpse of it in the shape of a A smart effect. collar in the back. Now at last we have reached a happy medium, and the trim ming takes the shape of boleros, spidery networks of embroidery and a hundred little artifices in the way of lines which set off and enhance the figure. Please remember, too, that the trimmings all harmonize and in many cases are dyed to match the material on which they are used. The Fashions of Fanhlons. The other day I had an opportunity to see some very stunning gowns. It plainness of the white cloth Is broken up by a delicate tracery of lace and chiffon chenille. The hat worn with this is particularly smart. It is, of white lace, unlined. and simply stretched on a wire frame. The sole trimming is ahuge ostrich feather which passes through the brim so that the tip hangs close to the hair on the left side. A Smart Effect. Another particularly smart effect is shown in another sketch. It is a gown of hand work composed of black mous seline de soie and woven with black chenille. It is appliqued with chiffon or chids and a trellis of ribbon vines. The drop skirt and frou frou are of turquoise blue taffeta and chiffon. There Is an 1830 bodice of hand work, with yoke and sleeves of bluemousseline laced with chenille. With this is worn a jet hat having a chantilly streamer falling the whole length of the dress. The dresses of the chorus are even more handsome than those of the principals; indeed, I am told that the simplicity of their cos tumes is the only thing that makes the principals stand out. Oh, I must not forget to mention two stunning little suits worn by the Heng ler sisters, who are supposed to imper sonate reporters in one act. Fancy any reporter dressing like that! I mention the suits because they are the acme of smartness for summer "trotting" cos tumes.

The responsibility of making or mar ring a marriage rests almost entirely with the girl. A man devotes eight or ten daily hours to office or shop, for it is his end of the business to keep things at home going, his province to pay the bills. The wife's end of the business is to manage him and make the home happy. She ought to put as much energy and vested capital into her department as the man exercises in his business. A strict attention to home duties on the part of the woman usually results in a happy household unless she makes the fatal mistake of managing every other f family aurora borealis, shoot its glorious giant arrows of light across the sky!

Yet even this ideal life, free as the wind, untrammeled by conventions, is not impossible. There are women who have lived it, who are living it. Lady Brassey lived it with her husband. Sir Thomas, and wrote entrancing books of her sea wanderings. Mrs. Lucy Car negie, widow of Thomas Carnegie and sister-in-law of Andrew, lives it with those of her children who love the sea as she does. She sails her own yacht. Part of the time it rides at. anchor off Cumberland island, Fernandina bay, Florida, near the winter house of the Months at a time, however, THE wife of Professor Timotheus Grlndout, the eminent sociologist, gave an afternoon tea. The pro fessor was for escaping out the back way, through the basement. He left his study and descended the front staircase preparatory to executing a swing through the hall and down the lower flight, but just at that instant his wife, who had been on the lookout like a friendly spider", pounced on him and in troduced him to Mrs. Buzzwuzz. "Will you show Mrs. Buzzwuzz th way to the tea room?" said Mrs. Pro fessor, and there was the "she who must be obeyed" note in her tone. Pro fessor Grindout grunted at once acqui eEcingly and despairingly, but obeyed promptly. He had not much acquaint- ance with Mrs. Buzzw-uzz, but he" had hfraii30 it lea thn time fnr thnso whn a VP i anybody to yacht several ladies in acquaintance with other ladies who America have a love for the waters j haunt pink teas.

The tea itself was a pretty affair. It was served on the promenade back of the first balcony in the theater. Mem bers of the press, etc., were the invited guests, and among these moved lan guidly the pretty girls of the stage dressed in the newest and most exquisite modern fashions. They were all divine ly tall, these maidens, so that they could well carry tfie huge hats and flowing sleeves, not to speak of the sacklike coats which fashion- wants us smaller people to adopt. And, oh, how it does break my heart to be small! There were some white cloth coats which were a delight to the eye. Here is one of th-.m in the sketch. The ma terial is white cloth, with a lining of white chiffon. The col lar of course is huge, coming over the shoul ders like a cape and being edged with fine silk fringe. The sleeves are tight fitting in their proper halves. but open from White cloth three the elbow down quarter coat, on the back seam, where they show a wide under frill of white chiffon. The black velvet revers, cuffs and buttons, and beneath them are worn blouses of white taffeta with smart touches of black. The hats, of course, are black and white, and the silk slips under the skirts are of burnt orange. Vrilinsrn With Lace to Match. The other day at a reception I was struck by the number of coffee colored veilings trimmed with lace dyed to match. Certainly never before have things been so carefully matched. If one has a gray suit one must be in gray from head to foot; in tan it is the same thing. Even the laces and embroider ies match. The gown in the sketch shows what I mean. It is of coffee colored veiling, with a blouse coat worn over a soft cream colored waist and a hat of coffee colored satin staw trimmed with a brush aigret. Notice particularly the wide cape collar of renaissance lace dyed to matc h and edged with wide, silk frinse, the sleeves which puff to the elbow and the long graceful cuffs. The skirt is very simple and effective, mere ly plaited and stitched down to within a few inches of the bottom. The lower edce of the skirt is also embellished with three folds of the goods simulating ruffles. Woes of the Photographer. I'm sure I'm glad I'm not a photogra pher.. Photographers have enough bother to drive them to drink. Begging your pardon for mentioning the same, I have been having my pictures taken, and this is the sort of thing I overheard: I I! know what is the matter with me this morn ing.

I don't care anyway; only if the pictures don't make me look nice I won't take them." And so it goes. "The trouble with mos' ladies," con fided the colored maid to me, "is that they doesn't want to look the way they is!" t And I guess that's pretty true of most of us, at any rate. I know I don't mind looking handsomer! New York. branch in the home excepting the man. There are two motives in managing a man. One is to manage him to one's I own selfish ends; the other is to use i tact and discretion to the end of niak ing a better and happier man of him. i People rarely quarrel over the large and important issues of life, but they will fight to the death about the things that don't matter. In most families there is some small bone of discord which crops up again and again at ev ery meal a mean, contemptible cause of strife that none agrees to bury de cently once and for all. Between hus band and wife some petty difference gradually grows which touches each on Mrs. Carnegie passes at sea, touching at any port where the wish impels her to stop. The youngest daughter. Miss Nancy, received much of her education on the yacht, one cabin being fitted up as a schoolroom, delightful, sunny, with the pure salt air floating through, leav ing as it passed health and mind power. Upon a yacht at sea would be the ideal place for a poet or author. The most tired out, drained, sapped literary hack could gain inspiration there.

No doubt he has faced twenty men with short tempers and small pa- tience in the course of a day. His wife can eternally face one, and it is the privilege of her partnership to soothe and manage a tired man after a hard day spent in the turmoil of a city. FOR SEASIDE VISITORS. The human body weighs a pound in the water, and a single chair will carry two grown persons that is, it will keep the head above water, which is all that is necessary when it is a question of life and death. One hand placed upon a stool or chair or a small box or piece of board will keep the head above water, while the two feet and the other hand may be used as paddles to propel the body to ward the shore. A person unfamiliar with the buoyant power of water will naturally try to climb to the top of the floating object on which he tries to save himself. This often happens when pleasure boats capsize. All immediately want to get out of the water on to the top of the overturn ed or half filled boat, and all are drown ed except those whom the wrecked craft will wholly bear up. If they would sim ply trust the water to sustain ninety nine hundredths of the weight of their bodies and the disabled boat the other hundredth they might be saved under most circumstances. WHAT WOMEN CAN DO. A number of women in Pittsburg have inaugurated a new method of im proving the slums of that. city. They have organized and incorporated a stock company capitalized at $20,000, and they are to build a model tenement house at some suitable place in the slums, fill it with typical residents of the neighborhood and proceed to give an object lesson in sanitary living. The company is called the Tenement Im provement company, and the capital named in its application for a charter is likely to be materially increased. The directors named are Misses Alice Holdship, Ann S. Phillips and Mary E. Bakewell. and with them are associat ed other women interested in municipal improvement. ing and steady, able to cope with rough seas as well, just fast enough, but not too fast for reposeful, roomy cruising.

Mrs. Ogden Goelet. now in southeastern European waters, spends much of her time sailing in her yacht, the Nahma. It is perhaps a fact that a majority of the fashionable women who yacht take far more interest in the prepara tion of gorgeous costumes than in the progress and skillful going of the croft they sail in. Yachting? Oh, yes. It en ables a woman to apyear three times a day in as many different yachting cos tumes, each of which its wearer fondly hopes is "exclusive." If not. then her interest in yachting is weakened ac cordingly. It is said to have been the smart and splendid gowns of Mrs. such things at secondhand places.

His majesty al- j ways did appreciate good clothes, and few can wear them like American wo men. Mrs. George Gould, however, loves the sea for its own sake and for a number of years has spent much time upon it in yachting weather. Her youngest child was born on the yacht. It is to their credit that other ladies of the Americ an fashionable set appreciate the glorious life on the sea and of recent years have purchased yachts of their own. The daughter of E. C. Benedict. ex-President Cleveland's friend, is one. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland have spent many happy days yachting with this lady. Other ladies well known as yachts women are Mrs. A. Van Rensselaer, owner of the May; Miss E. L. Breeze of the Elsa, Mrs. G. L. Thompson of the Oenone, and Mrs. Howard Gould. Mrs. Sarah Drexel Fells is known as one of the most brilliant and dashing yachtswomen in America. Her yacht, the Dacoutah,has been also specially distinguished because of its luxurious furnishings. Philadelphia, the home of Mrs. Drexel Fell3. appears to have the only women's boat club among fashion able ladies in the Union, though the students of some of the; girls' colleges have famous ones. The Philadelphia organization is called the Sedgley club. Canoeing is what the members are es pecially devoted to. They have a hand some new clubhouse of their own in Fairmount park. It has a restaurant and all conveniences required by fas tidious ladies. It is built around the base of the old Turtle Rock lighthouse and commands a fine view of the Schuylkill river.

I didn't notice that she does not say much, for the things I myself talk about are always so inter esting I don't like to be interrupted, but Buzzwuzz says the men call Cousin Anne the silent woman because she lets them do the talking. I don't see any thing so odd about that, for I never, nevr open my mouth unless I am posi tively obliged to. But Cousin Anne she says she never speaks unless sh has something to say, and" "I should be pleased to, meet such a woman." said the professor as he sidled around the tea table and darted through a little concealed door.

Gun metal watch guards are now be ing worn by well dressed men with fancy waistcoats and will also be worn when the watch is carried in the out side breast pocket. It is a curious fact that this season there is no rule about color at all. Black, blue, purple, brown and gray are all equally popular, and, of course, there is. as usual, a perfect craze for cream and white. The most practical and economical thing in hand wear is a real French kid glove, perspiration proof, which can be washed with soap and water.

If her sense of humor was not so highly developed, I'm sure I would have had her ages ago. She never will take me seriously. "Bother the score," I cried desperate ly. "Anyhow we'll not count the other Sixteen times." "But I would very much rather." Phyllis was staring into the fire. I didn't know just what she meant. I never was much pood at guessing. "Well," I answered indifferently, "Just as you please. Count them if you like. All I mean, was that none of them mattered so much as this time." "Positively your last chance, ladies and gentlemen," she cried gaily. I assented in my most dignified man ner. Phyllis laughed. I do wish she would take me seriously once in a Willi. "Why do you keer on proposing to me like this?" she asked. I shrugged my shoulders. 'Some men there are love not a raping pig; others are troubled if they behold a cat,' I quoted. "Are you answered?" "That Is no answer, thou unfeeling man." "If you must have it," I replied, flippantly, "I suppose it's my form of diversion. My hohby, if you will. We all have our hobbies, more or less, you now." Phyllis frowned. I liked that frown Immensely. Then she looked at me quickly when I was not expecting it. "You appear to be enjoying your elf," she cornolained. "Me?" I queried, in mock Innocence. "Oh, I protest; really, I'm not." Phyllis frowned again. "Well, then you ought to be." "I know it," I agreed, "I ought to be. Seventeen times ought to be pro ductive of more than it has shown so far. I wonder." I concluded, dreamily to myself, "I wonder if eighteen will do it 7" "You haven't been answered for sev enteen yet." said Phyllis. "No," said I, "nor for any of the oth er sixteen either." "Now, there was Darcy Graham," Raid Phyllis inconsistently. "He asked me to marry him nineteen times and swore eternal devotion each time whether I would have him or no. There's a man for you!" "And then went and married Kitty MePherson," said I, almost to myself. "No," corrected Phyllis; "Kitty mar ried him." "Willie Atkinson came next," I ven tured. "He only ran up to thirteen," said Phyllis. "Which accounts for his failure," I suggested. Phyllis paid no attention to my re marl;. "I think the little fellow from the bank whom I met in the summer came Bfter that?" she murmured Interroga tive 1 v. "Surely, you don't count him?" I questioned in surprise. "Why, you told me yourself that he only lasted till the second round." "He would probably have stayed long er if you hadn't come down that Sun day," said Phyllis, in a vexed wav. "You always do turn up at the most in opportune moment." ."Had I only known you didn't want ie I began. "I can't remember who was next," in terrupted Phyllis, quickly; "do you Know "r. think." said I, reflectively. "I ad ded about two to my own score that way. I always like you in white, you know." "There," corrected Phyllis, consulting her tablets. "Hold your head that way again," I paid. "What long eyelashes you have!" Phyllis deliberately turned the other way. "Hold it around," I commanded. "I want to look at it." Phyllis held it round. Phyllis likes to be commanded et times. "A rather pretty mouth, too," paid I gravely, "and your color is also Very fair yet. One would never guess you were getting up In years." The Difference. A well known politician, who is accustomed to pro fess at least that ths things which Interest what he chooses te call "the leisure class" are mere fads, re cently met his match. Encount ering one who was Interested in the game of golf, the virtues of which, oever having been a caddie, the poli tician did not un derstand, he in quired, with a wink at one of his appreciative fol lowers, "I say, Mr. J what is the Slfference between goll-f and 'guff,' as I believe it is called "Well. Mr. Q replied ,e amateur golf- er, "golf is a game I try to play, and gulf is what you give us." The Doctor: "There you are, my friend. With that tooth out you will be able to eat in comfort." Held Her Own. "I have never sen your daugh ter," said the vis itor, "but I have heard that she Is very beautiful. Of course she gets her beauty from you." The hostess glanced reflective ly In the mirror opposite. "No, I think I am still holding on to my pwn." An Invitation to Keep On. Cholly Oh, that T might die kiss ing! Hazel Well, I expect papa home almost any min ute now. At the Concert. "There seems to be an awful bad air in here." "Oh. it is noth ing. Just wait till J you hear Miss B q u e e 1 s try to in." A SUGGESTION. Sllllbub Why don't you call your new play "Dynamite?" Thespis Why so? ill V. V. T. down the hoUBe. "I'm not!" denied Phyllis, with a cer tain assumption of dignity; "I'm only 23." "You don't show It." I responded gal lantly. "Were I asked to -make a guess, I should say 'eweet 16' and "Quite so," said Phyllis, dryly. "How awful it must be to be laid on the shelf," I remarked sympathetically. "I'm not!" asserted Phyllis, indig nantly. "The very idea!" I murmured in a surprised way. "I never even insinuated such a thing. But you know,"I concluded dismally, "you haven't had a proposal in three weeks." "I have." insisted Phyllis, "I had one just tonight." "Oh, but that doesn't count," said I. "You told me so yourself. These are only sort of trial heats, to keep you In form, you know." "Oh!" sniffed Phyllis. "Besides." I added, "I need material for my stories." "What a risk you are willing to run for the sake of material!" said Phyllis. "Yes," I replied suavely, "but it is necessary that one make some sacrifices for the sake of art." "Suppose, though, I were to accept you some time?" queried Phyllis in an awful tone. "I would have a new climax for the next one." said I, indifferently. I had expected Phyllis to be afTected, ir,doort he hurst out lauehing. That's the trouble with Phyllis; she never will take me seriously. "You re a goose, sne compiimenteu me. Aw. thanks," I murmured. "So good of you!" Phyllis regaraea me graveiy. nu, 0 thinir but whenever Phvllis looks at a fellow Just like that he feels sort of funny ail over, you ltnuw. i don't know what it is. I think it must be what they call personal magnetism. "Jack." she said, "do you know you have some gray hairs?" "It's not polite Ot you to rrmiiiu of it," said I. i "And your complexion isn t as, s'u as it used to be," she continued. "Be sides, there are lots of little things particularly about your clothes.' "Nothing serious, I trust?" I asked in alarm. "No," said Phyllis, "nothing serious. But a lot of little things. I think you need some one to take care of you. "Parka is an unexceptionable valet, I said in his defense. "But he draws his salary every month," put in Phyllis. "And why shouldn't he?" I interro- "Now, a wife" began Phyllis,' mus- in Ely "Would draw hers at the end of the month and every other day as well," I concluded. "Yes," said Phyllis, taking no notice, "I think you need a wife. Now, why don't you propose to some nice girl, Jack" "I have," said I, stoutly. "Huh," snorted Phyllis, In disbelief. "How many proposals have you ever made?" "Seventeen." said I. I think Phyllis was pleased. Any-, how. she smiled a little. "There was the Rawshaw girl,", said she. warningly. "Nice girl," I assented warmly. "Noth ing particularly queenlike about a girl's carriage when she's only five foot three. "And Bessie Fleming." Phyllis was getting back at me. "A sweet creature." I agreed, "but I really prefer 'blondes," "And then there's a whole host of others that you might have if you wanted them. You're a catch. you know." "I know," said I. wearily. "I suppose that accounts for my popularity." -Oh nn said Phillis. sweetly. "Thanks," I replied, "but with a score of seventeen, it doesn't seem to have benefited me greatly, win it aa me anv good to make It eighteen?" Phyllis toyed with the corner of the sofa cushion. "You might do a great deal better," "Then I don't have to make it eight een?" cried I, for once in my life com prehending. "I did not say Just that, sir," said Phyllis, saucily. I don't think I ever saw Phyllis look so beautiful, and the odd part of it was I couldn't see her eyes, either. Sh was staring full into the fire all the time. If it makes her look that way. PUT TO THE TEST. l jr. The Crocodile: '"By Jove, doctor, you're right. I haven't enjoyed a meal so much for months. There's a flavor about you that's positively rich."

""S nbdy I wish she would look into the fire al ways. "But I do make it eighteen, Phyllis," said I. soberly. I took hold of her arm and turned her round so that she was facing me. but she still held her head down ami I could only see her eyelashes. Phyllis has long eyelashes. "And you'll marry me, Phyllis?" 1 whispered. I don't know whether 1 raised my voice interrogatively or not. I hadn't the same control over m voice that I had the other seventeen times. Phyllis looked at me with a fuuny little smile. She never will take me seriously. "I suppose this will make a new cli max." she said. But her looks belied her words and for once I was bright enough to see, "No," I replied, as distinctly as my throat would let me, "this is not a climax. This is a beginning." St, Louis World. Q. HOPE JONES. He Delivers a Lecture in the Interest of Truth. Citizens of Frenchman's Corners: For some days past it has been known to you that I would arrive on this date to deliver my celebrated lecture on "Truth," and the freight train which reached your picturesque town two hours ago had me on board. It is needless to say that I am more than delighted to behold such an out pouring of citizens. You have outpour ed to the number of thirty-five, which includes several children in arms, and though the collection to be taken up at the close of the lecture may not amount to a cent apiece, I shall throw my whole soul into my talk just the same. I am not of those who ride about the country in palace cars and demand extravagant sums for appearing on the platform. On the contrary the bumpers of any freight train are good enough for me. ana if I get one Bquare meal per day l am satisfied. I will begin my lecture by asking you what is Truth? There can be but one reply. Truth consists in not telling a lie, even if you lose money by it. There is a general idea that if you can lie in such a way as not to be found out in it, it is as good as the Truth, but don't you make any mistake. There are four teen different brands of whisky and eleven of tobacco, but there is only one brand of Truth. It's the old fashioned brand solid all the way through and with square corners, and it can't be imitated or kept out of sight under the bed. It took Truth a good while to get a foothold. Adam lied to Eve and Eve lied to Adam. Cain killed Abel and lied about it. There was a heap of lying all along the line for 3,000 years after the world was created, and the man who couldn't do his share of it had to go into bankruptcy and eat grass. When Truth came nobody was at the depot to meet her, and it took her six weeks to find a cheap boarding house. It wasn't till after the Deluge, as near as I can make out. that Truth was sandwiched in now and then, and that the steady old liar began to lose some of his prestige. It took the nations of earth a thousand years to discover that one truth was worth two lies, and some of 'em ain't up to the mark yet. Begin with history, if you will, and find me a case where Falsehood has eventually triumphed over Truth. You will unearth some of the slickest, smoothest liars this world has ever known, but they all had their days and went down and out before the blows of Truth. Ananias, for example, was a' beau tiful liar positively beautiful. He'd lie in a way to make you glad to lend him your last fifty cents, and he un. loaded more Texas oil stocks than any other fifty men, but the day came when Truth ran him down and cave him the collar. He tried to push his brand, but it was no go. If you turn to the history of Rome, Kgypt and Persia you will find that liars rose to eminence, and remained there for a lit tle time. Then their fellow men found then out and they went down with dull thuds. To come down to modern days, you all know that George Washington was given an Al chance to lie about the cherry tree. No one had seen, him chop it. He would have been the last one suspected. He could have laid it on one of the hired men or some of hi playmates. We hold-our breath when Explaining It. "You are accus ed of holding up this man," said the judge sternly. "Yes, sir, 1 know," explained the talkative pris oner glibly. "But, you see. It was this way: 1 came around the corner and upon him sud denly that night, and somehow he seemed to get real weak kneed right away. Acted like he was going to fall. Wasn't but one thing for me to do, was there? So I held him up till" But the next case had been called. Didn't See It. "Now, then, madam, pleass look steady at this plaoe on the wall," said a photogra pher to good aid Aunt Hepzibah when he had put her in position and the plate In the camera. The dear old la dy looked hard at the designated spot from her seat, then got up and walked across th floor and minutely inspected it and then, turning to the photographer, gently remarked: "I don't see any thing there." In Wrong Place. "And he kissed you "Yes, and right under mother's eyes." "I should think he would have pre ferred to do It un der your own." In Luck. May I hear Jack is going to get married.

No. he stood boldly up in the presence or his father, who was itching to use the boot lack on some one, and replied: "Father, I am the little man who did the business for your favorite cherry tree," HE HAD AN UNCLE WHO USED TO TELL OP HOEING SEVEN ACRES OF CORN IN A DAY. Does any man or woman before me believe that George would ever have become what he did if he lied about that tree? Never! He then and there built his foundations about Truth, and Truth led him onward to greatness. The memory of Lincoln will live with that of Washington. You who have read his history know that between the ages of ten and fifteen he had chances to lie every day in the week. He couidn t walk out without meeting the village cooper or harness maker or blacksmith, all of whom were beau aiful liars. He had an uncle who used to tell of his hoeing seven acres of corn in a day, and he had an aunt who declared that the grasshoppers had eaten the roof off her log house. The postmaster of the village was a liar, and the member of the legislature from that district never told the truth when he could help it, and a tin peddler predicted that young Lincoln would grow up to beeome one of the most famous liars in Illinois. Was the pre. diction verified? We know it was not. We know that when the boy was ques tioned in court as to who stole smoked hams from a certain farmer, he told the truth and sent his grandfather to jail. He began right there to tell the truth, and his father could never lick it out of him, and today his name is rev erenced wherever spoken. Eet us descend from Abraham Lin coln to Q. Hope Jones. My friends, 1 1 used to love lying for itself alone. I began at three years old, and I did not stop until I was twenty. I made a science of it. I Bet out for the top and got there. At twenty I could out lie anv other liar in the state. I was told on every hand that my future was assured, but I was deceived. There came a day when Truth stepped in and sent me to jail for per jury and Falsehood couldn't save me. It was a blow from which few young men could have rallied, but I sat down and analyzed my case and came to realize that the Liar has no show against Truth. Then and there I made the change that has brought me to this pinnacle of greatness. I went out of the business of lving. and into that of telling the Truth. I had to wear old clothes and live on cold Dotatoes for the next ten years, but I stuck to it and eot there at last. I may not be as great as Washington was, but I am doing fairly well for Q. Hope Jones and have no kicks to make. My friends, let lying alone. We are all natural born liars, but the elder should tell the younger that there's nothing in it. Truth alone is solid. You may work a blind mule oft on a man by lying, or you may win the heart and hand of a cross-eyed woman by crushing Truth under your heel, but a reaction Is sure to follow and you will be left hanging by your toes. Husbands, lie not to your wives; wives, lie not to your husbands. Fol low the light of Truth, no matter where it leads, and as the hat passes around among you please remember that Truth and a liberal heart always go together, and that I have got to have at least a dollar to get out of town on.

10 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 23, 1903. WHERETO FISH. JBass and Crappie Within Driv ing Distance of Topeka. Anglers Find Fine Sport Nearby Streams. in WAKARUSA POPULAR. Big Catches of Catfish and Carp Keported. Mill Creek Affords Some Excel lent Camp Sites. Loral anglers say that the fishing in the. streams around Topeka is better this summer as a result of the Hood than it has been for years. The creeks and ponds, which are generally low at this season and utterly profitless to the fisherman, are well storked with fish now and an angler who knows the streams will have fairly good luck Wherever he tries the sport. The best fishing in the neighborhood of Topeka Is always to be had at Wakarusa, 12 miles south and it is especially good Just now. The farmers in that locality re port big catches of catfish, carp, crappie and a few bass. A man who lives near the stone bridge was in town last Sat urday and report catching one 5 and one 2-pound bass last week. If you care to drive so far a trip to the Delaware popularly known as the Urasshopper. the creek's former name, will probably repay the trouble. This stream is 16 miles northeast of town and has a stone dam above which the bet fishing in its course is found. For email fish silver lake, 12 miles west furnishes good sport. Mission creek is 12 miles west of town and the people who live near it report Fome catches but it has the poorest rep utation among fishermen of any of the local streams. Up the river near the old sugar mill, about five miles from town, the fishing Is said to be excellent this year, and this spot is the scene of many Sunday fishing parties. Of course Lake View has the. best fishing in this vicinity and probably in the state but not every one belongs to the club which owns the lake and has access to its priviter'-s, besides it is almost too far to drive. The same ob jection ran be made to Mill Creek. 24 mil's west, but fishing all along this stream is worth w hile. Mill reek is the prettiest piece of water in this part of the state and the wood along its banks make ideal camping grounds. Buffalo fish weighing 50 and 75 pounds have been caught in the Dragoon, which is a small stream in Osage county, about 20 miles south of Topeka. You take the Missouri Pacific and get oft at Lomax and the Dragoon is about a mile from the village. They tell big stories bout the Dragoon, how wagon loads of fish are caught in tramm. 1 nets in its waters. The fishing is good all along this rreek. Trammel rets and seines are also used in the "Wakarusa, the law of the land notwithstanding and two years ago a party of fishermen used dynamite and killed all the fish in the creek for several miles. "Fishing depends altogether upon a knowledge of the streams." says J. C. Klliott. the Topeka angler and sports man. "There's fair fishing in almost any of the streams around town this year if you know where to look for it. A man has tn fish a few years before he learns the waters and the ways of the fish. Tf he knows these things he'll have pretty good luck anywhere in Kansas this summer." OPENED A MAIL BOX. Independence Firm Robbed of Letters and Crafts. Independence, Kas., July 23. The postofTice box belonging to Brown Wheeler, of the cracker factory, was robbed of a lot of mail Sunday morn ing. Wednesday a little boy, 9 or 10 years old, son of W. F. Deevers, pre sented at the First National bank a draft for $11.71 for payment. The boy did not even know the amount that (f sue 6mk ALWAYS EVERYWHERE JaS y $P hci W AK u MILD I Save the Bands J the draft called for. When questioned he said that a colored man gave hirr. the draft to get cashed, promising to give him half. The boy ha3 lived here but a short time and says that he does not know the name of the colored man. Officer Morgan and W. L. Wheeler with the boy have been trying to locate the thief and the stolen mail, and have found a part of the mail and some drafts scattered around town. A STEADYING EFFECT Will Result from the Renewal of the Billet Pool. New York, July 23. Commenting on the renewal of the billet pool the Iron Age says it is generally acknowledged that the revival of the agreement will have a steadying effect on the steel market, yet that market is much re stricted when compared with what it was in olden days. Only a small part of the steel tonnage reaches the open market. Many of the outside finishing mills, large and small, have their own steel works, which supply a consider able part of their requirements and sometimes furnish a slight surplus. The many important finishing mills have long-time Fliding scale contracts which are not affected by recent happenings. Still the welfare of many small works will largely depend upon the course which the associated steel makers, nearly all sellers of finished products of one kind or another, will pursue. Regarding general conditions, the paper savs: The burning question Is to what ex tent the decline in securities will check new undertakings and thus adversely affect the demand. In the iron trade proper the waiting attitude? of buyers is being persisted in and Is having its effect upon prices. There have been repeated rumors that large consuming interests have begun to buy foundry iron for the second half, but investigation has shown them to be without foundation. What business is being done is con fined to the covering of requirements for SO days, which in the case of some smelters means pretty large blocks. Hut the real movement has not yet mater ialized. There have been some pretty large sales of steel billets during the past two weeks, in some cases at low prices. The outside Uessemer plants meet a P.esse mer pig market which is essentially strong. The outside basic open hearth plants are in a better position as to the basic pig market, where more ample supplies are available, notably from the south. The associated rail mills have thus far oliicially reported sales for 1901 aggregating 450,000 tons, which is not quite up to the figures which detailed reports of transactions would lead one to exrect- REACH SKAGWAY. David Starr Jordan and His Scientific Corps. Seattle, Wash., July 23. A dispatch from Skagway says: The United States fish commission steamer Albatross, having on board Dr. Starr Jordan and his scientific associ ates is in port. Members of the scientific corps report that the deep sea work has been very interesting and, from a scien tific standpoint valuable. Yesterday Dr. Jordan, Dr. Kvermann and several oth er members of the scieTitiilic corps, left over the White Pass road for White Horse, where two days will be spent in collecting fish from the lakes in that region. Dr. Jordan starts on July 26 for San Francisco. WAS AGAINST THE LAW. Beer Sold at a Lyon County Picnic Causes Trouble. Emporia, Kan., July 23. On July 14 the fall of the bastile was celebrated in a grove near here and a wagon load of beer was used in the celebration. Now County Attorney McCarty has sub poenaed about eighteen witnesses, in cluding several prominent business men of the town, with the intention of prose cuting the directors of the affair. At the picnic checks were sold, each check being good for a glass of beer, and in this way it was thought the prohibitory law could be evaded. The country at torney, however, intends to prosecute the people who got up the celebration and a number of Kmporia men are wor ried over the affair. A Paulist Conclave. New York, July 23. Seventeen repre sentatives of the Paulist order from various states have assembled at the mother house in this city for the an nual conference called for by the rules' adopted five years ago. At that con ference the Rev. Father Deshon, class mate of President Grant at West Point, was appointed superior general for the term of nine years. The community, an offshoot from the Redemptorists, was established in 1858 and since then its chief efforts have been in the line of its missions to non-Catholics." It was stated that the conclave will consider only the matters bearing on the internal management. Thirteen Officers Fail. Fort Leavpnwnrth. Kan., July 23. The board of instructors of the general service and staff college at Fort Leav enworth have completed the examina tions of papers and made the ratings on the student officers. It was decided to issue diplomas to seventy-five of the eighty-eight officers now attending the school. It was thought that all but three or four of the officers would pass when the supplemental examinations were ex tended and there was considerable sur prise when it became known that thir teen failed. Most of those who failed were "found" in mathematics and en gineering. New Teacher for K. XT. Lawrence, Kas., July 23. The board of regents of the University of Kansas in special session elected Prof. J. A. Farrell, of Kansas City, to teach voice and violin in the school of fine arts. H. T. Martin, of the entomological de partment, was authorized to conduct an expedition to Patagonia to secure speci mens.

Grand Duke Vladimir was smon? the mary notable persons present. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt were also entertained at dinner by the Grand Duke Michaelovich and they gave a luncheon to Grand Duke Boris and oth er members of the imperial family on board their yacht, the North Star. A Small Steamer Wrecked. Biddeford. Me., July 23 A small steamer thought to be a government vessel was wrecked at Biddeford Pool early today. The crew of seven men, including officers, was saved. The steamer is a total loss. From an Engine's Sparks, Saline, July 23. The frame house of Godfrey Lundstrom. eight miles east of Salina, was destroyed by fire.

It Is cheer ing to know that some work is really to be done at all some time. Since the transfers are given on the street cars instead of at the transfe station as formerly, the transfer sta tion man has nothing to do but to an nounce the cars as they, arrive and an swer questions. It is astonishing how many people there are who have lived in Topeka for years who don't know how often the cars run out on the dif ferent lines and at what time they leave ine station. Adjutant General S. H. Kelsey, of the Kansas National Guard, went to St. Joseph today for a consultation with the officers of the Missouri National Guard. It Is understood that Missouri has decided to send no troops to Ft. Hltey, but instead to hold an encamp ment separately and draw funds from the government to pay tne expense. If the tcheme is a good one, it may be adopted in Kansas. There will be a meeting in Topeka about August 1 of the attorneys in terested in, the Kansas-Colorado water suit.

John said of an Uncle Tom show which had just ex hibited in that town: "The audience was very pleasantly entertained and all were satisfied." But Mrs. Royce said: "We could almost hear Harriet Beecher Stowe turn in her grave last night while the farce of Uncle Tom's Cabin was in progress. It seems too bad that that great tragedy should be turned into the cheapest sort of farce. THREE CENTLHIES OLD. Bare China Survived 300 Tears to Be Broken by Flood. China over three centuries old was among the property which the King family who lived at 1020 Nocth Quincy street lost in the flood. It had b?n in the family for that length of time and there was a most valuable collection, several sets, 'most complete, of fine old Knglish and Scotch ware being in cluded. Since the flood the King family which includes the mother, Mrs. Abercromy King, her daughter. Miss Kate King and her sons, Thomas and Kilmaurs King have had rooms in the Office block. Their home was a one story cot tage and everything in it except some of the pictures which hung out of reach of the water was ruined. Miss King delved into the mud for the family treasures, and got a good many of them out but almost every piece of valuable china was broken beyond the possibility of repairirg. Such pieces as could be were mended and some things which were in a dozen pieces have been j titted together and cemented. Among j the things which were lost was one very large punch-bowl of Willow ware, over 300 years old. A lovely piece of very old Wedgwood was saved without a crack and there is a quaint old teapot of Scotch ware which was unharmed. Kilmaurs and Thomas King have a large collection of bronzes, coins and medals, some of which were lost in the flood. Of course those which were re covered were not harmed. The King brothers are engineers "and their father followed that profession also. They were educated in Scotland where they lived until recent years and in their collection o medals are several from the British crown awarded them for inventions. A James Watt medal, the highest awarded by the Knglish government for engineering, is cne of their valuables. Relic hunters would be interested in an old-fashioned watch case which the King family has possessed for genera tions and which belonged to Mary Queen of Scots. It came into the pos session of the Kings when Lochleven castle was burned at which time it was recovered from the ruins .with other trinkets in a jewel box belonging to the queen. EDITED BY WOMEN.

Great pressure is to be brought by Wall street in favor of the enactment of a new financial law at the autumn session of congress. Financial men here live in much terror of a money stringency, and as usual they think it is the business of con gress to come to their relief. Speak ing on the subject, one of the leading! men in Wall street remarked: "Liquidation and the accompanying low prices such as we have had during the last four or five months does not disturb us at all. We do not fear a panic from this source. As a rule the men who carry stocks are able to carry them or able to stand their losses, but if money should get tight and interest rates go kiting, the very devil would be to pay. Taking into the account the strain things are subjected to from other causes, a money squeeze would probably bring about the worst panic we have had in Wall street for a num ber of years. When men can't get money to carry their stocks they have to sell them. Prices go tumbling be cause everyone wants to sell at the same time. Every big financial Institu tion in New York is now trying to get itself in shape to withstand the monej squeeze which we all fear in the fall. Perhaps this very apprehension and caution will enable us to weather it i without serious damage." Everyone in Wall street was much I encouraged by the announcement which enaior looge made the other day that President Roosevelt wanted congress to take up the financial question in Novem ber. Most of the important men here have a way of sneering at President Roosevelt, following the lead of the New York Sun, which is enjoying itself daily writing of the president as some strange freak that has accidentally found its way into the presidential chair. The Sun's course toward the president is in some respects outrageous, and Its con duct is relieved only by the wit and cleverness with which it sugar-coats its bitter pills. In its treatment of Mr. Roosevelt it is following out the tradi tions of the paper, and its present course reminds one of its methods of putting the knife into Hayes, Cleveland and others in the days of the great Dana. Most men In the financial district en joy the Sun's satire and form their es timate of the president's character upon its witty sallies. There is a general im pression that the Sun is owned by J. Pierpont Morgan, and that Mr. Mor gan is responsible for the attitude of the paper toward the president. Not long ago one of Mr. Morgan's friends advised him to "pull the Sun off," as, in his opinion, its attacks upon the president were doing the firm of Morgan Co. a great deal of harm. "The American people always want their president treated with respect," said the gentleman, "and they will not stand it to have the paper which you control belittling Mr. Roosevelt." "I have no more to do with the Sun than you have," replied Mr. Morgan. "The notion that wa own the paper probably sprang from the fact that we once made a loan to the publisher.which he has since repaid. We are in no wise responsible for what the Sun says or does." Notwithstanding Its Inclination to sneer at Mr. Roosevelt. Wall street im agines that the president's advocacy of financial legislation at the extra session means that the Aldrich bill or some thing like it will pass before the snow flies. Which is another proof that Wall street does not understand Washington. New York never did have much knowl edge of the way In which the machinery is operated at the national capital, and seems wholly incapable of learning. As a matter of fact, it is likely to be a long time before a financial bill gets through congress. It may be done next winter, but to expect its passage at the short session of November or even in the reg ular session before the holidays is to yearn for the impossible. Mr. Roosevelt has some influence with congress, but very much less than most people im agine. An example of this is found in the dead set he made for the Cuban reciprocity treaty last winter, and which he now finds necessary to renew with the desperate expedient of a special ses sion called for the express purpose of considering it. Even now the fate of the Cuban treaty is in more or Jess doubt. As for the financial legislation upon which New York has set its heart vari ous obstacles are likely to be encoun tered. Taking into account the fact that almost everyone admits the currency system should be reformed, and the pressure that is likely to come from various parts of the country in favor of action, the probabilities are that some thing will be effected. But it can not be done in a hurry. In the senate a dif ficulty will arise in the form of Demo cratic opposition and the employment of interminable debate. Last spring a handful of Democrats killed Mr. Aid rich's bill at the last moment when he was perfectly confident of success and they did it to punish him for his ma neuvering against the statehood bill.
