I EVERYBODY I 16 PAGES READS IT. I LAST EDITION. SATURDAY EVENING, TOPEKA, KANSAS, JULY 16. 1904. SATURDAY EVENING. THREE CENTS. I 1 i! It 1 1 i t f f I I i :r NEGOTIATIONS AREJLAGGING. Union Officials Warn Strikers In Fire Languages That They 1VI1I Not Be Sup- 5 ported iu Acts of Violence. 1VAY IS STILL OPES For Another Conference Be tween Opposing Forces. Increasing Talk of a Sympathe tic Strike Is Heard. Chicago, July 16 While peace negotia tions between the meat packers and the striking butcher workmen are lagging agencies have been set at work to pre vent the outbreak of further violence. The union has warned all members In placards printed in five languages, to heed the instructions given and to refrain from disorder, and told them plainly that they would not be support ed by the organization if guilty of law lessness. Chief of Police O Neill has recom mended to Mayor Harrison the revoca tion of the license of any saloon in which a strike disturbance started. It was declared around the stock yards and at the police stations that many Poles had thrown away their union buttons and had returned to the plants with the nonunion men taken in. Of the latter about 300 were marched into the yards under police protection. A number were negroes, while others were Greeks and Poles. No conference was arranged for to day, but the way has been left open for a meeting. In the last communication that passed from the packers, they de clared themselves ready to meet a com mittee from the workers at any time. President Donnelly probably will ac cept the suggestion. Meanwhile with every hour's delay in reaching a settlement, a sentiment in favor of a sympathetic strike is grow ing among nearly 12,0K) other employes at the stock yards. The temper of the union men was reflected by President Donnelly who said: "We will die fighting before submit ting to arbitration as proposed by the packers. Their system of arbitration would mean the complete annihilation of trade unionism In the.stock yards." Whether the packing trades central body will call a sympathetic strike will be determined at a special meet ing tonight. Nearly 10,000 men em ployed in various trade" at the yards and belonging to 30 unions are connect ed with this organization. These em ployes are not bound by any agree ment with the packers. Should a sym pathy strike be determined upon at to night's meeting it would complicate things greatly. The strike would near ly double the number of employes who have left their posts and also make a settlement a much harder task. Employes in the building trades at the yards are dissatisfied because they are obliged to work in buildings guarded by tie police. These men for years have objected to working at any place where the police have been called to preserve order and protect property and the present conditions are declared by them to be intolerable. Fire engines, hose carts and fire in surance patrols with a full Quota of men were sent to the yards today to increase the fire protection. This ac tion, taken at the instance of the Chi cago Underwriters' association, was accepted as indicative of fear on the part of the packers and insurance men that a stage of the strike has been reached where widespread dis order may be expected, notwithstand ing efforts of union officials to prevent violence. The emergency fire protec tion is to be continued at the stock yards as long as existing conditions continue. A disturbance was caused early to day by a crowd, which attempted to prevent a score or more of non-uniop workers from entering the yards. No one was hurt and but one arrest was made. The strike leaders in conference to dav took up the note of the packers, a reply to which was requested by noon and was In the nature of an ultimatum. The note was as follows: -Your letter has been received and carefully considered and desiring to ive you every possible opportunity to reach a solution of the present contro versy we will be glad to meet you and discuss matters further, if in your opin ion anything can be gained by another Interview. It is our unanimous opinion however, that considering the existing conditions a fair proposition has been made to you and your organization in vour letter offering to arbitrate any and all grievances that may be submit ted for arbitration by either side; and it Is further our unanimous opinion that we can not recede from this proposi tion to which we feel we should have your definite answer not later than Saturday noon, July 16." The letter was signed by J. Ogden rmour. L. F. Swift. Edward Morris, J E. Mauser. J. P. Lyman, E. A. Cudahy and Edward Tjlden. At the ap pointed time the result of the strikers deliberations was in the hands of the packing house representatives. Its pur port could not be learned, but it was intimated by the packers that a furth er joint conference might be held. Significant of an abandonment by the strikers of hope of securing a basis up on which they would arbitrate was an announcement that President Donnelly of the butcher workmen would leave Chicago tonight for a tour of other strike bound cities. Indications this afternoon all pointed to an end of the pence conferences for the present at least and the beginning of new hostili ties. President Gompers of the Ameri can Federation of Labor has already left Chicago, presumably to go to New York. At Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo.. July 16. There was but little change In the packing house employes' strike today. All the five leading- packing companies killed today, each exceeding the output of the previous days of the strike and each putting additional non-union men to work. Four cattle butchers who went out at Armour's have re turned to work. "We did not ask them whether or not they had decided to give up their union, said C. w. Armour. At Fowler's also, according to T. O Cunningham, the manager. ,a few of the strikers have asked for and been given their old places. Ruddy Bros.' plant, which is con trolled by the Fowler interests, is still shut down. Union teamsters are beginning to agitate the question of a sympathetic strike, and there is some talk of the packing house engineers going out. In the packing house district several re tail butchers have refused to handle meat killed by the plants being oper ated by non-union men, and are buy ing of independent slaughtering nouses. x nere was no perceptible cnange today in tne prices of fresh meats. At Armour's 200 nonunion emploves in tne canning ana taDellng denart ments walked out today after receiving tneir salaries, ana ai owiers a num ber of laborers struck. At St. Paul. St. Paul. Minn., July 16. Contrary to expectations the striking butchers maae no aemonstration todav when the Swift Co. office force appeared ior ouiy ai me ouin est. Paul plant- but allowed all th,ose employed to enter the grounds. Reports bv tele phone from the vicinity of the Swift plant say that the strikers are very uiuenj. At St. Ixuis. St. Louis. July 16. Although the management or tne St. J,ouis Dressed Beef Provision companv. the onlv m. ijouis pacxing nouse artected by tne strike, announced that killing wuuiu ue re.sumea on a large scale to day, but little slaughtering has been done. The east side packine- houses have practically ceased operations A turtner increase In meat Driees has been made by restaurants as the result ol the strike. The retail butch ers are informing their customers that unless the strike is settled promptly they will not be able to buy anything like a sufficient Quantity of meat to supply the demand. The prices for all kinds of fresh meat today are about 30 per cent higher than they were the first part of the week. At Omalia. Omaha, July 16. Several hundred new men were given employment at the packing houses in South Omaha today. Some difficulty was experi enced in getting the new men into the packing plants, but there was no vio- ence. The live stock receipts at the stock yards increased today. All the pack- ng plants were operating in a limited way. At St. Joseph. I St. Joseph, Mo., July 16. The managers of the South St. Joseph packing houses assert they are in bet ter condition today than at any time since the strike. They are still of fering employment to all applicants, but the strikers persuade many of the non-union men to leave after they have worked a short time. Swift, Hammond and Morris all were oper ating today, clerks, foremen and other employes doing work formerly done by the strikers. A number of men who came here from Kansas City to go to work in the Swift plant were in duced by strikers to return. Calling In Tneir Men. Peoria, 111., July 16. All the employes of the local branch of the Cudahy Pack ing company were today called to Chi cago. The rresumption is they are to be used in the packing house there. At the Armour plant it was stated their men are being called in from all over the country. Meat Grows Scarce. New York, July 16. There was no change in the status of the meat strike todav and matters have assumed the phase of a deadlock. Meat is becom ing scarcer on the East side and the temper of the people is beginning to j be felt. A number of the butcher shops have been forced to close be cause of their inability to get meat. I Matters will be further complicated by the sympathetic strike of the fire men, who only await the word to walk out. It is believed they will quit work tomorrow. The secretary of the International Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen has arrived in this city and assumed charge of the preparations for a gen eral strike of the firemen in all pack ing houses. The engineers have not yet taken any action, but it is believed they will be guided by the action of the firemen. The strike of the fire men will ripple the ice houses and will prove a severe blow to the pack ers. BLEW UPTHEIYISELVES. Amateur Bandits Hurt While Trying to Rob a Train. Houston, Tex., July 16. Train No. 5, on the International Great Northern, was held up last night at Kechi, a small station about 30 miles west of Palestine. There were five bandits in the party, all young men, and apparently amateurs. They dynamited the express car without detaching it from the train and blew in the end of the second class coach, but without injuring any of the pas sengers. One of the robbers was ap parently badly hurt, as the explosion appeared to be premature and he was observed to be covered with blood. The robbers secured nothing, not mo lesting either the express or the mail and getting away as fast as possible after their comrades were hurt. Fireman Muze jumped from the en gine as the train slowed down, ties having been piled across the track, and hurt his shoulder, but not seri ously. None of the passengers was molested. The adjutant general has been noti fied and a special train with Sheriff Henry Watts, his dogs and a posse left Palestine early this morning for the scene of the hold up. A squad of rangers is stationed near the scene of the hold up and it is probable they will be put on the case at once. It is anticipated that arrests will be made shortly, as the bandits are prob ably country lads reared in the neigh borhood. Favorable to America. San Francisco, July 16. Herbert H. D. Pierce, third assistant secretary of state, has Just arrived here from an inspection tour of the American con sulates in the Orient, on his way back to Washington. He says that the at titude of Oriental countries towards this nation is extremely favorable. This is particularly true of China. Russians Active In Korea. Washington, July 16. Minister Al len has ajrain reported to the state department from Seoul that the Rus sian forces are becoming quite active In northeastern Korea. HERE'S A MESS. How the State Didn't Sare Money by Deal. Treasurer Kelly's Ljon County Plan Grows Interesting. EXPLANATION A FAKE Normal Warrants Stamped "Not Paid for Want of Funds." Given Out That Money Was Kept to Prerent This. Just why such a flimsy excuse should nave been devised for keeping the state taxes due the state from Lyon county in Emporia instead of sending them to me state treasury as provided bv law k. nara to imagine. The Emporia coun ty officials claim the money was kept there, by an agreement with RtAte treasurer Kelly, for the purpose of taking up warrants Issued to State Normal people, so that they would not be stamped "not paid for wont r funds." They claim that the slate was tneretore saved money, because if did not nave to pay interest on these war rants. -i ne recoras m the state auditor' ornce show that these same State Nor mat warrants were stamped not paid for want of funds and that the state paid interest on them during the time treasury was out of funds. vLuiuinK to tne stnromant Emporia Republican, published in the btate Journal yesterday, the arrange ment between State Trp:i en ror W al lr and County Treasurer Eastin of Lyon county was made last November. The warrants for paying the teachers at the oiate normal for the month of October were issued November 10. 1903. An n. animation ot tne cancelled warrants themselves on file i shows that thev were sta.mnpd not r.iri wa.ni oi runas, and the stamp Is dated November 11. 1903 i n mnst i" cue VS arrants so stamped begin to draw in terest irom the date of, this stamp. When the state treasurer believes he win De aDie to take up these outstand ing warrants he publishes a notice to that effect, and the interest stops on tne aate namea in the notice. The person to whom a state warrant is issued rarely bothers about the in terest on it. When he wants his money ne taxes it to a Dank and deposits it or cashes it. That bank in turn sends It in to a Topeka bank, and it is gen erally the Topeka bank that gets the interest, Decause the warrants come in here in sufficient numbers to pay them to do so; The warrants are presented to the state treasurer and if "he has no money with which to pay them, they are stamped not paid for want -of funds and begin to draw interest from that date. The interest is now four per cent. It was formerly six per cent and banks were very anxious to get hold of the warrants. The warrant bears interest until it is cashed or until the date named in: the state treasurer's notice on which warrants can be cashed. Here is a sample of the history of the State Normal warrants. This one was drawn in favor of A. S. Newman on November 10. 1903, and is for $125. The warrants for each month's pay ment for each state institution are sent to that institution in a buncTf and dis bursed from there. Here is the history of Mr. Newman's warrant: Issued November 10, 1903. Stamped not paid for want of funds, November 11, 1903. Endorsed on back by Mr. Newman, no date given. Endorsed on back by Emporia Na tional bank. December 2, 1903. Endorsed on back by Central Nation al bank of Topeka. December 5, 1903. Stamped on back, paid, by Central National bank. January 20. 1904. Stamped on face, paid, by state treas urer, January 21. 1904. Interest on warrant. $1.00. Cancelled warrant returned to audi tor's office. January 30. 1904. The most of the State Normal war rants were cashed or deposited in the Citizens National bank of Emporia, and the endorsements of that bank give no date to show when they were sent to Topeka. The warrants to pay for the month of November were issued on December 5. All of these, so far as the cancelled warrants were examined. were also stamped not paid for want of funds a day or two after they were issued and drew interest until January 21. 1904. The next State Normal warrants is sued were on January 13. 1904, and by that time the state treasury had an abundance of money on hand and all warrants were promptly paid on presen tation, as the "not paid for want of funds" stamp had been laid away. Therefore if any Lyon county state taxes were used to take up State Nor mal warrants during the time warrants were being stamped not paid for want of funds, the party who got the interest simply drew interest on the state's own money. The "agreement" between State Treasurer Kelly and County Treasurer Eastin whereby the Lyoncounty money was kept out of the state treasury. $38,000 for at least six months, in order to "save the state money." grows more and more complicated. The only person liable under the law. so far as is appar ent, is the country treasurer. The law says that he shall forfeit to the state ten per cent of what state money he had on hand on January 1 and failed to send in by January 20: and it further specifies that he shall forfeit his office and be guilty of embezzlement because he did not remit the money within thir ty days from January 10. But there seems to be a possibility that the coun ty treasurer was deceived In this mat ter himself. FOUGHT FROM CHICAGO. Republican Campaign Will Be Con ducted From Western City. Chicago. July 16. Although Chairman George B. Cortelyou of the Republican national committee will spend the greater portion of his time at the New York headquarters, to be near the president, the coming campaign will be conducted largely from Chicago. As in lKSt. and again in l!Xi, the main headquarters will be located in this citv. rooms having been engaged at the Auditorium annex. Chair man Cortelyou and Secretary Dover are expected to arrive at Chicago on July 30 and open the headquarters on Monday, August 1. ANOTHER HOT TY. This One Not Quite So Warm as Fri' day. However. Today it is hot, and getting hotter. At 2 o clock the temperature was 90, and still going up. The chances are that it will break the heat record for the summer so far. On Friday the maximum temperature reacnea was ys, wnicn is equal to tne tem perature last Sunday, and is the record for the year. The eool breeze today helped out greatly, however, and the heat is not nearly as oppressive as it was last sunaay.

SIX LINOTYPES The State Journal Adds Another Ma- chine to Its Battery. During the last -six weeks the Mer genthaler company of New York have had under construction for the State Journal a double magazine linotype which it contracted to sell and con struct for our use. This machine will be the finest typesetting machine that has yet been shipped into the state will combine a number of new improve ments, and will set from two to four times as many different kinds of type as the ordinary linotype, of which the State Journal already has five. This sixth machine, which costs $3,600 besides the freight, will give this paper a larger battery of typesetting macnines tnan any otner paper, or plant, in Kansas. It will set news mat ter, headings and advertisements all by one operator from one keyboard. The State Journal is the only daily newspaper in Topeka which owns its own machines, the others being used on a rental basis. The machine has been shipped from the factory and will be in operation in a, few days. WAS IN 30 MINUTES. Judge Parker Took Longer Swim Than TTsual Today. Esopus, N. Y., July 16. A breath less, blistering July day dawned upon Esopus after a night of thunder and lightning unequalled before this sum mer, but neither the boisterous storm of the night nor the stifling heat of the morning interfered with the rou tine at Roaemount A little after 6 o'clock Judge Parker took one of his long dives into the Hudson and re mained in the water some 30 minutes. What the mall here will be by the time the campaign is in full swing is auestion now cajasrmg soiicmiae in the little postoffice where most of the work is done by a boy of 16. No such mail as that which came in on the early train was ever seen in Esopus before and it is doubtful if any single citizen in Ulster county ever before received the like. The new campaign office In the Judge at the gate of Rosemount is now t use for part of the judge's business. although his large law library in tne house is still the center of distribution. Three additional stenographers and a private telegraph operator constitute the working force at present, but it will be augmented as time goes on and the bulk of the business requires it. The expected visit here today of Jno. A. Kern, who was one of the Indiana delegates at large at St. Louis, was the only event of political interest appar ent upon the programme at the outset of the day. It is understood that Mr. Kern is coming to press the claims of his friend. National Committeeman Taggart, for the national chairmanship. I Judge Parker on his horseback ride was accompanied by his dauenter, jurs. Charles Meyer Hall, and part of the way had on his saddle in front of him, his little grandson. Judge Parker today received a long congratulatory letter from William F. Vilas, who was postmaster general in President Cleveland's cabinet. The let ter is dated Madison, Wis., July 12. The following telegram was received today: Troy, N. T.One tnousand paraded the streets at Cohoes last night in your honor. Big ratification meeting, big banner thrown to the breeze, first in the state, great demonstration. "JOHN WALLAUiS. "N. T. SMITH." The Iroquois club of Los Angeles, Cal.. sent this telegram: "The Iroquois club of Los Angeles congratulates yourself, the people and the party upon your nomination. "JOHN T. JONES, Sachem." Judge Parker has received from Henry G. Davis, the vice presidential nominee, dated Elkins. W. Va., his ac ceptance of the judge's invitation to visit him at Rosemont. His coming adds impetus to the talk of a double notification at Rosemount of both candidates, but there is no real confirmation of the report up to this time. BELT FOR MISS ALICE. President's Daughter Is Honored by the A. A. V. New York, July 16. The Amateur Athletic union buckle and girdle that the officers decided to give Miss Alice Roosevelt after she awarded the prizes at the championship meet at St. Louis, was sent by express to Ovster Bav. The girdle is composed of heavy silk joined with a buckle consisting of three gold medals which represent the handicap prizes, the junior championship prizes, and the senior championship prizes of the St. Louis contests. As President Roose velt is honorary president of the Olvmpic games held at St. Louis this year, he has been requested to pre sent the girdle to his daughter. Secretary Fisher Is Here. Galen M. Fisher, national secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for Japan, is in Topeka. He will speak at the Y. M. C. A. rooms on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. Fisher will be in the city over Monday. He is counted among the strongest Y. M. C. A. work ers in the world. Weather Indication. Chicago, July 16. Forecast for Kan sas: Partly cloudy with probably local thunder storms- tonight and Sunday; probably cooler in west portion Sunday; southerly winds. NOT A SHOT FIRED Toklo Sends Out Official Denial of the Report That the Japanese Sustained Heaty Losses July 10. A SCIENTIFIC PLAN lias Been Adopted by the Mlka- do's Generals in Manchuria Advancing Slowly and Entrench ing as They Go. loRio, July 16. 4 p. m. The im perial headquarters staff officially deny the reports from St. Petersburg that the Japanese lost 30,000 men in a battle near Port Arthur on July 10 or 11. Not a shot was fired on either date. Relieved of Her Mail. Aden. Julv 16. The North Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich, which has arrived here fronx Hamburg June 23 and Southampton June 28, for Yoko hama, reports that she was stopped yesterday afternoon by the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk and compelled to gitre up thirty-one sacks of letters and 24 sacks and parcels, all intended for Japan. Russians Have Doubts. St. Petersburg. .T 1 1 1 V Ifi TV m Since the receipt from Tokio of an offi cial denial of the report of a Japanese repulse at Port Arthur with the loss of about 30,000 skepticism as to the truth or the report from Viceroy Alexieff's headquarters has pervaded all circles, but the members of the general staff de cline to accept the denial unreservedly. While not insisting on the accuracy of tne ngures tney claim there is good reason to believe that a severe check was inflicted on the Japanese in front of Port Arthur and it is considered possible that General Stoessel may have made a report of the subject di rect to the emperor, who will not re turn here until tonight. Although still in ignorance as to what the official statement meant by "from Japanese sources the officials here maintain that Alexieff must have had good rea son to send the report. While it is con ceivable that the Japanese themselves may have spread the report for tne purpose of leading General Kuropatkin to believe that they will not advance any further in Manchuria, the general staff are not disposed to regard them a-gxrilty of "such machiavelism. Despite the attitude of the general staff, who evidently are reluctant to give up a report for which they are not responsi ble, the public ardor has quite cooled down. The American embassy today for warded to Berlin another list of names of Japanese prisoners. There are 111 at Perim, 108 at Kungur, 89 at Soli kamsk and 123 at Tomsk. The where abouts of the 300 who were at Zea, in the Amur district and who are now scattered,, has. not been definitely established.' Moving Up the Coast. Ta Tche Kiao, Friday, July. 15. Delayed in transmission The main body of General Oku s force seems to be swinging around the Russian left after having combined with. General Nodzu s army. The Japanese are also movins ud the coast on the Russian riarht. An artillery reconnoissance has showed the country airectiy soutn to he clear of the enemy.' The Chinese report this morning that thev saw many Japanese trans- ports, convoyed by torpedo boats, go ing in the direction of the port of New Chwang. Near Harbin 100 Chinese bandits recently attacked a, Russian military train. The soiaiers leit tne cars anu drove off the Chinese without sustain ing any loss. Bains Have Stopped. General Kurolti's Headquarters in the Field, via Fusan, Thursday, July 14. Delayed in transmission The newspaper correspondents are ignor ant of the progress of the campaign here or elsewhere and the movements of this army, except what little is hap pening in their neighborhood. The rains have temporarily ceased. The country has dried rapidly and the army is able to live largely on vege tables which are ripening in large quantities in this region. There is much activity in building roads and in drilling the troops. P. O. Steamer Seized. Aden, Julv 16. It is reported that the Peninsular Oriental company's steamer Malaca, from Antwerp for Japan, has been seized in the Red sea by the Russian volunteer fleet steamer St. Petersburg. Port Arthur Squadron Out. Ta Tche Kiao, July 16. There 4s reason to believe that the whole or part of the Port Arthur squadron has come north into the Gulf of Liao Tung. The sound of the firing of heavy guns is heard seaward. War ships are distinguishable firing in the direction of Kai Chou. It is surmised that they could only be Russian ves sels. Japanese Ambushed. Liao Yang, July 16. -General Samosonoff seriously checked the Japanese advance in the direction of Yinkow on July 11. His Cossacks ambushed the Japanese column and put 1,000 out of action. The Japanese attempted to advance to Yinkow along the coast, but they were hindered by the marshy country which increased their difficulty in carrying off their dead and wounded during the re- The Russians had expected a move ment in this direction and a company of cavalry with two guns lay in am bush in the high grass, catching the Japanese in the remotest part of the coast and shattering their advance column. The artillery fire of the Rus-i sians was splendid and the Japanese were unable to make an effective re ply. They were forced to retreat. The Russian losses were six killed, and seven wounded. On Scientific Principles. St. Petersburg, July 16 1:30 P. M- The Tnanese are continuing to advance on Ta Tche Kiao, following a scientific plan and stretcning ineir ijusiuuhs as mcj mm-e forward. Thev appear to be taking extra precautions in the case of Ta Tche Kiao, on account of their knowledge that General Kuropatkin is there personally. According to a dispatch from Lieutenant General Sakharoft. dated July 15, and Oku's and Nodzu's armies have joined at Tangchl, 10 miles southeast or ta Tche Kiao. The Japanese are also re ported to have occupied the fortifications at Pintzau, about seven miles north of Kai Chou, and were still proceeding to wards New Chwang, which had not been occupied. July 15. A detainment or lien, Kuroki's force is reported to have reach ed the village of Tsihakehe. 40 miles east of Liao Yang, on the Feng Wang Cheng mgn road. Japanese Lying In Wait. Odessa, Russia, July 16. The Rus sian steamer Trouvor, which has ar rived here from the Persian gulf, says the English are persistently spreading rumors to the emect that six armed Japanese merchantmen are lying in wait for Russian ships in the Red sea and the Persian gulf. Japanese Are Hungry. Ta Tche Kia, July 16. The Japanese are suffering from hunger. Six of them came in and surrendered to General Mistchenko, begging for food. They said disease and famine were rife in the Japanese armies. According to re ports from the vicinity of Liao river a disguised Japanese officer and a de tachment of Japanese have gone toward Hai Cheng with ten chests full of sil ver to pay Chinese bandits. Togo Reported Dead. Chefoo, July 16. The Chicago Daily News correspondent with Kuro ko's army, in a dispatch sent by a Chinese junk from An Tung, says: "There is a persistent rumor here that Admiral Togo is dead. Many of the Japanese profess to believe it. A severe outbreak of cholera is devas tating this section. The bodies of the soldiers who die of the disease are being cremated." Rumor About the Novik. St. 'Petersburg .July 16. 7:06 p. m. There is a persistent rumor in cir culation to the effect that the protect ed cruiser Novik has joined the Vlad ivostok squadron. The admiralty has no information on the subject. It is admitted that it is possible but im probably in view of the inadvisabillty of separating the Port Arthur force. Startling if True. St. Petersburg, July 16. Reliable reports from Ta Tche Kiao this after noon brought the startling announce ment of the presence of Russian war ships off Kiao Chou, which they are said to be bombarding, and of the arrival of Japanese transports and torpedo boats off the port of New Chwang. The admiralty was un able to confirm or deny either report. not having received any communica tion from Rear Admiral Withoeft, but the admirals generally were not in clined to credit it. If true it would mean that Admiral Withoeft has got the Japanese transports at his mercy, In this case Admiral Togo would hasten to their rescue and engage the Russians. This may also explain the absence of positive news of the Japa nese occupation of the port of New Chwang and the cautious advance of General Oku s column. The foreign office has received a telegram from the Russian consul, M. Gosse, at New Chwang, dated July 14, but he did not mention the approach of the Japa nese. LQ0IY1IS' BODY FOUND. Corpse Washed Ashore Bearing Evi dences of Identity. London, July 16. A body supposed to be that of F. Kent Loomis was washed ashore this morning at Big bury bay, Devonshire. The body was that of a well dressed man, five feet six Inches in height, at tired in a gray overcoat and dark blue suit. In the pockets were found a card with the name "F. Kent Loomis," American and English coins, American notes, a gold watch, etc. The body, which was discovered by a laborer, was in a state of considerable decomposition. It was removed -to a neighboring farm building to await the Inquest. Bigbury bay is ten miles southeast of Plymouth, where the North Ger man Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II arrived June 20 from New York, having on board F. Kent Loomis, brother of Assistant Secretary of State Loomi3. Mr. Loomis was missed at 1 o'clock that morning and has not been heard from since. He was charged by the authorities at Wash ington to convey to Abyssinia the treaty of commerce concluded be tween the United States and Em peror Menelik. Mr. Loomis traveled with William H. Ellis, of New York, who in view of the disappearance of the former took the treaty, which was found in Mr. Loomis' baggage, to Adis Abea. the Abyssinian capital. Brother Takes Vp the Matter. Washington, July 16. It is stated at the state department that ever since the disappearance of F. Kent Loomis a quiet but far-reaching in vestigation has been energetically conducted and is still being carried on. A great many details have been ascertained, but no facts tending to indicate the exact time or manner of the disappearance from the steamer of Mr. Loomis. As soon as the Associated Press dis patch from London was handed him the assistant secretary of state, Mr. Francis B. Loomis, cabled to the American consul general at London, Mr. Evans, requesting him to have the body carefully examined for any marks of violence. The, number of the lost man's watch already has been sent to the consul general, and if it coincides with that found on the body the identification will be considered complete and arrangements for send ing the body home will be made. It has long been the theory of the rela tives of Kent Loomis that he went upon tne nurncane aecK to get a glimpse of the English shore and ac cidentally stepped overboard. SHE KILLED HERSELF. Inquest Into Death of Mrs. Backus Reveals Nothing. The inquest over the exhumed body of Mrs. Ed Backus was concluded this morning and a verdict of suicide re turned. The mouth of the dead wo man showed carbolic acid burns, and an analysis of the stomach also evi denced that the deadly poison had been used. The death of Mrs. Backus occurred four weeks ago at her former home near West Indianola, three miles northwest of town. She was declared suicide and the interment took place. Some of the neighbors sus pected foul play and the body was exhumed and a second inquest held, with a verdict the same as that of the first. Ed Backus, the husband of the dead woman, was married to Lillie McMillan two weeks after the death of his first wife. WHY NOTDYKES? North Topeka People Sleet and Talk It Orer. Committee Will lie Named Take Necessary Measures. to HEART TO HEART TALK One Will Be Had With the County Commissioners. Flans and Estimates Are Sub mitted to Citizens. At a mass meeting at Lukena opera house last night about 100 prominent citizens and property own ers were present to discuss the build ing of dykes around North Topeka. J. B. Billard was elected chairman of the mass meeting, and Ed Arnold secretary. Later Mr. Billard was ap pointed chairman of a committee of five, to be named by himself, for ths purpose of taking under consideration all the plans proposed for the pro tection of North Topeka, and to deter mine which one will be the most ad- visable to adopt. This committee will also take upi the matter of torrowlng money t carry out the plans which are adopted It is hoped that the county commis sioners of Shawnee county will loaa the money for immediate use. under a guarantee from sufficient or th North side capitalists to make th bond good, pending the meeting of the next legislature, at which time it is planned to get an enabling act ta allow the county to vote brnds fon the payment of the cost of the lm provements. The North side citizens also gava this committee the authority to go after the city and county officials ta secure at once the construction of a; permanent steel or cement approach! to the north end of the Melan bridge. The argument was made that the 3,000 people who left North Topeka on account of the flood scare thia year would not have done jo hail there been a bridge over the Kaw which was safe and in which the peo ple had confidence. The business men who talked at th jnass meeting last right were unani mous in the expression of their will ingness to go down in their own pock ets to provide the money -necessary to build tho dykes if a satisfactory plan could not be arranged with the coun ty commissioners. Congressman Charles Curtis was -one of the most earnests-speakers at the meeting. He outlined the work he had done in congress towards get ting an appropriation for protecting the people in the Kaw valley from floods, all the way from Sallna to Kansas City. His efforts were dis counted by the claims for six or seven millions from Kansas City to dyke a single mile of the river at that point. "I have little hope of accomplishing anything in this direction in con gress," Mr. Curtis said, "although I will not give up, but will continue to make a fight for an appropriation. But th thing for us to do is to get right to work here among ourselves and go ahead and build the dyke. It will not cost so much as one would suppose at first thought. WJiy, the damage the high water did to property Just this year would more tnan defray the expense of building a dyke to protect us." Jonathan Thomas was an enthusi astic speaker in favor of the buildinfC of dykes. He reviewed the efforts to raise the J25.000 necessary to buy th land to put the new Santa Fe shops in Topeka, and declared that it ought not to be difficult to raise the sum of money necessary to build the pro posed dykes inarmuch as it would b a protection to more than four mil lion dollars' worth of property. ine general consensus of opinion was that all would be willing to giv liberally if necessary, to get adequate protection. Mr. Billard will within a dav or two appoint the members of the commit tee which will go ahead with the pre liminary work to the construction of dykes. Several different plans and estimate for dikes were submitted last nichf lv County Surveyor John Rogers and C. L. Dolman, a railroad contractor, both of whom have made trips along the river recently and studied the situation. Mr. Kodgers submitted plans for two dikes as have been outlined in the Stata Journal. The first is a small one. In tended to keep out floods similar to the one this year. It would be a foot above the highest mark reached this summer and would cost J7.500. It would extend from the Updegraff farm to the Rock Island tracks. It is planned to have a public road running along the top of the dike. Mr. Rogers' second plan is for a dike similar to the first one in length, high enough to prevent a flooi as large as the 1S03 disaster. This ona is to cost $23,000. Both of Mr. Rogers dikes are 60 feet wide at the base and 40 feet at the top. Mr. Dolman submitted several plans. The most elaborate and substantial, ona that seemed to be favored most by those at the meeting last night, pro vides for an elaborate and substantial dike that will cost in the neighborhood of $48,500, not including the right ot way, and will be a permanent safe guard to all of North Topeka. This dike or levee will be 32 feet above low water mark, high enough to keep out a flood much greater than the one of 1903. It will be 40 feet wide at the top, and will support a public highway. Along the river bank it will extend from the mouth of Soldier creek to tha city limits west of town. Here it will turn and run north to the Shorey hill. From the mouth of Soldier creek it will run along the south bank as far as th old Curtis cemetery. Such a dike, Mr. Dolman estimates will cost $48,500. Tha right of way will not cost more than $15,000. This would make a total of $63, 00. 1 Mr. Dolman submitted three othei plans. One was for a dike running from the Curtis cemetery, around ta the river by way of the mouth of thf creek, and from the mouth of the crepl" west to the Updegraff farm. This level would not be as substantial as the othei one, being only ten feet wide at th top. It would be 30 feet above low wa ter mark and would cost $20,926, not In cluding the right of way. 1

TOPEKA STATE JOUENAI SATURDAY EVUNTNGL JULY 16, 1904 SPORTING NEWS. Some Earlj Experience of Jef fries It Related. Hank Griffin, the California Giaut, Opens Up. CHAMPION'S FIRST BOUT Mils Boilermaker Wanted to Quit But Seconds Said No. 'Aetuallj Had to Tbrovr II I m Back In the King. Cincinnati, July 16 Hank Griffin, the California giant, the man who beat Jack "Munroe and stood oft Jim Jeffries several years ago, was in town this week. Griffin' whipped Munroe a short time after the latter had won the ama teur heavyweight championship. This caused Jack to become disgusted with the fighting game and go back to the mines. He never put on a glove again until Jeff visited Butte. Mont., with the Fitzalmmons combination. It was then that Jack got the fighting fever for the second time, and his bout with the heavyweight champion In which Mun roe won the decision after four rounds Is now a matter of ring history. Grif fin was the first man of reputation to fight Jeffries. "Without casting any reflection on Jeffries record I can truthfully say that that I am the only man who ever fought the champion so hard that he wanted to quit." said Griffin. "I was a prizefighter long before Jeff ever had on a glove. Both of us are from the same town. Los Angeles, and I am well acquainted with the early history of Jeffries. He beat me once in IT rounds. The other time I met him it was a stand-off. It was in the fight that Jim won after 17 hard rounds that I made him sick of his job. In the second round I knocked him down twice good and clean, and again floored him in the third round. Jeff being a new hand at the game could not see any glory In sight for him. He went back to his corner, and tried to pull off the gloves. His seconds actually had to throw him back in the ring when time was called, and he was so big and strong that I broke my hands trying to whip him, and as a result he whipped me. John Brink, Referee Harry Stuart or Young Gallagher, who was Jeff's second, will verify what I say. "Jeff is a great fighter. There can be no doubt about that. I think Munroe la the only man who has a chance to whip him. Jack will give him a hard fight because he is strong and rugged. It takes a man like Munroe to trim Jef fries. The best a scientific or fast man will get against Jeff is a pair of broken hands and a good beating. When I whipped Jack Munroe at Watsonville, Cal.. after 20 rounds, I got a pretty good line on him, but he was new to the game and has improved greatly since then. He had just licked a fel low named McGee for amateur heavy weight honors, and our fight was Jack's first attempt in the professional line. He was so sore on himself after the referee gave me the decision that he declared he woukl -never again put on a glove. He went to work in the mines, and I thought that would be the last of him, but here be is now fighting for the heavyweight championship." Griffin has had on the gloves with nearly every big fighter in the business. He whipped Jack Johnson and also fought him two draws. It was Griffin who first brought out Sam McVey.who was touted at one time as the most for midable aspirant for the title held by Jim Jeffries. Griffin also put the Dixie Kid on In the game. "I remember Dixie," said Hank. "He used to come around to the back doors of the fight clubs in Los Angeles begging to get In. He Is a good fighter, and can lick the best of them." Griffin had a talk with Bid Albers. the manager of the Admiral club, last night, and he may come here to box Jim Fields whom he fought to a draw t Richmond. Ind., some time ago. Charley Marshall, who now has Grif fin In charge, was formerly a boxing promoter in the Indiana gas belt. He Is willing to back him against any heavy weight In the business excepting Jeffries.

NEW FEATURE BEYILLE'S CASE. National Association Has Decided That Catcher Belongs to Kansas City. Newark, N. J., July 16. Manager Walter Burnham has aeciaea io pro test the first two games between Newark and Providence, played last week, on the grounds that Catcher Monte Beville played on the provi dence team, though he was Ineligible to do no. The nrotest will come up before the Eastern league board of directors. The National association has decided that Beville belongs to the Kansas City club of the American asociation. The National commission has adjudged the player as being the property of the New York American league club. Though the decision of the commission Is favorable to New York's transfer of Beville to Provi dence, It cannot be carried out in the face of the National association ruling. President Powers, on being apprised of the facts in the case stopped Beville from playing with Providence. Had Providence been permitted to play Beville. it would have been an example for other clubs. Brooklyn might then have turned around and disposed of Gessler, who would otherwise, under the rules of the National association, become the property of Newark should Brooklyn let him go. This will also apply in the case of Pitcher Stricklett, claimed by the Newark club, who is now play ing with Milwaukee, in the American association, farmed out by the Chi cago Americans. llanlon May Box Britt.

But the Saints are looking up. Their work was 50 per cent better. They pounded big Skinny Horton, one of the best in the league, for ten safe ones, two of which were home runs, Friel got one of these with one man -on base and Schrant got the other with two men on bases. Two silver showers were hand ed out by the bleachers and grandstand and enough was gathered up to pay for several meal tickets, almost $10 for each. In their fielding too a change was noticeable. Friel played a great game at third. Four errors were regis tered and two 'of these were inexcus able. Carter muffed a ball returned from the catcher and a runner stole home from third, and Schrant missed an easy pop-up. Cole dropped a fly af ter a hard run and Friel made one bad throw to first after a brilliant stop. One of the Fans Discussing Umpire Shanks. Carter, in the box for the Saints seemed a little off. He was clouted eleven times, handed out three passes, and hit one man. The high wind was responsible for a number of the hits, from the fact that they were badly mis judged by the fielders and went wide and far of their mits. "Skinny" Horton was not at his best either for Spring field. He went to pieces and while dis playing a little temper at the bat he was appropriately labeled "Greenback," because he wore a resplendent green sweater which looked like a meadow in spring time. John Schrant carried off the batting honors for the Saints. Out of four times up he made a homerun and two singles. "I believe I can bat again." yelled the big fellow after the same. Friel got second honors with a home run and a single. Cole found a horse shoe before the game and it brought him two runs. Pitcher Howie lugged the foot gear of the equine race around, while Cole was busy, and tried to magnetize into success the bats of the different players as they went to the plate. Olson cleaned up a couple of nice ones and knocked a third one to the fence, but Zoellers pulled It out of the atmosphere. For Springfield the light end of the batting order did the damage. Schmidt got a three bagger and a single, and Red Craig, who play ed right field, Sisler being only tempor ary on Thursday, got two double-baggers. Hetling also fattened up on a couple of singles. Shanks' bad work started right In the first inning. After two men were out and Nig Perrine was caught five feet from the sack trying to steal second and was called safe, a run came in. Then in the fourth inning after two men were out again and Zarbaugh cap tured a fly, and winged it to first to cut off Craig, Shanks called the latter safe when the big Topeka captain stood squarely in the line. Two runs came in after that. That kind of work is in excusable. The game itself had plenty of heart breaking features without put rid work of the nature dished out by the official. The crowd roasted him to a finish. And then the crowd did anoth er thing. It stood by the team and boosted. The score: SPRINGFIELD. Plaver. ATt.

The old telephone company will nearly dou ble rates next month. The price of business telephones is now J 1.60 per month. After August 1, it will be $2.50 per month. The former price for residence telephones was Jl per month. After August 1, the price will be $1.50. The company has just issued a circular announcing- the in crease in rates, and the statement is made incidentally that for several years it has been supplying telephones at a loss in Atchison. When the new company was granted a' franchise by the city, it agreed to maintain its present rates: $2 a month for business telephones, and $1 a month for resi dences. The new company has asked permission of the council repeatedly to advance rates, but this permission has been refused. It is claimed that the new company has over a thousand telephones in Atchison, to six to eight hundred of the old company. Bible School at McLoutli. McLouth, Kan., July 16.

The Saints will return home next Wednesday for an exhibition game with a picked nine from the City League. That is an open date in the schedule. On Thursday Leavenworth will be here for a series of three contests. When Shorty Hurlburt, manager of the Springfield Midgets, was asked whether he would keep Slssler, he re plied: "Naw, that feller can't run fast enough to keep warm. I'm just usin' him fer a few days till I git another man," and he didn't play Friday. Leavenworth and Elmer Smith and Shorty Hurlburt will have to hold a conference. Hurlburt sold Smith to the Orioles. The latter people understood that Smith was signed for two years and Hurlburt says that that is true. Smith, however, declares that his con tract with Hurlburt was ?thly for this season.- 1 Springfield has been offered $200 for Nig Perrine by one of tne oest ciuds in the southern league. This Is prob ably the last year of the scrappy llttla Midget In the Valley. Olson is working too fast. That "Is the reason for the strange multiplicity of errors which are being charged up against the little Swede lately. He needs coaching. Whatever else may be said against Abbott, who once held down first for the Saints, and Arm strong who was in the cage for a while, it cannot but be admitted that they had started to train "Oly" into form which would have made him a record break ing shortstop by the end of the season. With their disappearance and the sub sequent disorganization of the team, he has not been coached and has con seauently gone back to his old style of playing.

Thev say it makes a player stale. If this is true it shouia not De mauigea in; 11 the contrary is the case, a team can find no better method of getting ac quainted with itself and learning team work. Church, the Saints new second baseman, is a graduate of the Uni versity of Illinois, and got his base ball training "under the famous Huff. He shows It. The Illtni have turned out the greatest college baseball teams in the world and that state ment can be proven. Big Stahl. now with Boston, is one of them; Stein wedell, in the American, is another. Church promises to be a star. He pro claims life and action in his work, a characteristic of Huff's training. He says he can get some more of the IUini, and the management won't make a mistake by trying them out. Joplin is fast getting the reputation of being the greatest "attendance padder" m the league. They never seem to have less than 3.000 people in the mining town on Sunday, ac cording to the official report. Though its premise Is wrong In say ing that Topeka will not strengthen up because the season is half over, yet the Joplin Globe makes some very pertinent and valuable conclusions which the Topeka management might do well to consider: "The Topeka management has de cided that it will not strengthen up any more because the season is too nearly over. A greater error could not be made. It takes a long time to organize a ball team. It really re quires more time than money. In fact the rush act in organizing a ball team means the wasting of much, cash. Joplin in the last three years wasted more money than any team in the league and it was not until this year that It got a first division or ganization. Joplin used to rely on money entirelyand expected immediate results. In the first two years It re leased many good men because they failed to show up properly on the very start. This is a point which good managers always reconsider. While they did not expect to win the pen nant they know that it is easier to or ganize gradually as the season pro gresses rather than attempt to collect a bunch of world beaters as soon as th season opens. It is true that the big leagues play havoc with the minors which have fast teams at the beginning, but the minors get some money for the drafting and the chances are strong that the drafted players will come back before the sea son is two weeks old. A club which permits its list to run down to noth ing because the season Is about fin ished will find itself handicapped when the new season starts. The phe noms from amateur ranks are not plentiful. In all leagues the same old faces are stars for almost a genera tion, and it is so in the Missouri Val ley." President D. M. Shlveley has called the meeting of the Missouri Valley league managers to rearrange the sche-f dule so as to give Topeka Sunday games, for Kansas City, at the Balti more hotel on Wednesday, July 20. That is open date in the schedule for four of the teams in the circuit, and for that reason is desirable. Little difficulty will be experienced in giving this city Sunday games. Manager Hurlburt, of Springfield, about struck the idea when he said the following: "Why not give the good towns in the league the Sun day games for the rest of tlist season. While I do not care to name the so called poor Sunday towns, all the man agers know them and next Wednesday when they get together they can fix it up so that the games can be exchanged and Topeka given Sunday dates for al most all the rest of the year. It will be beneficial all around. It takes mon ey to keep baseball going and you will not find a single club which is not mak ing money that will not be glad to come to Topeka on Sunday for a game." Working on the basis suggested by Mr. Hurlburt a schedule for the remaining: Sunday dates would be about as fol lows: Sunday, July 24, Leavenworth at Topeka; Sunday, July 31, Pittsburg at Topeka; Sunday, August 7. Iola at To peka; Sunday, August 14, Topeka at Springfield; Sunday, August 21. Tope ka at Joplin; Sunday, August 28, Se dalia at Topeka; Sunday. September 4. open date to play rain-date or post poned game; Sunday, September 11. Fort Scott at Topeka, That would give Topeka about six Sunday games yet this season, and a Sunday contest in Joplin and Springfield, both rattling good towns, meaning an excellent money-making proposition all around. It is very probable that the rearrangement will be along the lines suiricested hv Mr.Hurlburt,Pre8ident Shlveley thought favorably of the plan when it was laid before him the other day when he was in Topeka. The morning paper says: "The Leav enworth Times announces that it will hereafter call the Topeka team the saints. mat makes two newsDaners. such as- they are, the Times and the State Journal which use the name se lected by the Journal." Here are the facts. The following newspapers which carry accounts every dav of the Mi- souri Valley league games speak of the Topeka team as the Saints: the name selected by a committee of citizens: Kansas City Times, Kansas City Star, Kansas City Journal, Topeka State Journal, Leavenworth Times, Sedaifa Sentinel, Sedalia Democrat, Joplin News-Herald, Joplin Globe, Pittsburg Headlight, Sprlngfeld Leader, Fort Scott Republican, Fort Scott Tribune, Iola Record. The Capital sporting edi tor is about the only one on the circuit who calls the team Boss-Busters, and he would like to let. go awful badly and get into the band-wagon. He was a member of the committee to select an appropriate name but he bad found one of his own and wouldn't play. Instead of going to Iola tonight for the scheduled three games, Springfield will go to their home and the Gaslight ers will go with them. Iola'a ball parte is again under water and Manager White telephoned Hurlburt of Spring field in Topeka last night that he would like to take the series to Springfield. That makes six games in the Midgets' town next week between themselves and the people from the gas belt. Excursion to Kansas City, Santa Sunday, July 17. Round trip $1.25.

TOPEKA STATE JOUKNAI SATHTRDAY- EVETSITNG. JULY 16. 1904: 3 KANSASNEWS. Burglars Make a Kald on Lear euworth Dentists. Four of Them Were Called on and Gold Leaf Taken. USED SKELETON KEYS. Think They Were the Same That Were In Topeka. Terj Cool About Their Work In Presence of Others. Leavenworth, Kas., July 16. Two burglars with a specialty, the robbing of dentists offices, worked in Leaven worth and called on four of the dent ists in one night when they were not In. As a result the two burglars are about S60 to the good, while two of the dentists they called upon think they have good Jokes on the burglars, as they overlooked a large amount of gold and silver fillings for teeth. Dr. T. M. Cock rill was robbed of about J10 worth of gold leaf and gold fillings: Dr. R. E. Nelson lost about J 12 worth of gold scraps, but the men overlooked S40 worth; Dr. Renz lost about J6 worth of gold leaf, and Dr, Snvder was fortunate in that the burglars were frightened away before they took anything valuable. The police think that without a doubt the burglars hailed from Mis souri and that they are the same ones who within the past three weeks have cleaned out nearly all of the dentists' offices in Topeka, Lawrence and other nearby cities of gold leaf. They quickly place their plunder in a crucible, melt it into a lump, and there is no way in the world that the property can be identified. That there were two men the police have no doubt, and that they were cool is shown by the fact that Dr. Mc Gee, coming out of his office over Mehl Schott's drug store, saw a man leave Dr. Cockrill's office. He asked the man what he wanted and the fellow stated that he was looking for the dentist. He then asked the physician's permission to use his 'phone and did so, calling up Dr. Cockrill and making an engagement with him for 8 o'clock yesterday morning. At that time the man either had the dentist's gold leaf in his pocket or wished to find out whether he was at home or down town, in order to be sure he would not come in on him when he robbed the place. Entrance to all places was made by a skeleton key, and nothing but gold and sliver leaf was taken. The man who did the ransacking was well ac quainted with dentists' offices and was perhaps an apprentice at once time, as he knew just where to go to find the valuable stuff. Long Trip of a Hen. A gentleman from the country tele phoned that a speckled hen had been captured, and according to a label at tached to her leg. the hen had come all the way from Neosho Falls on a board; at least that was the kind of a ship she was on when she reached her landing place. Neosho Falls is over 2 5 miles north of Chanute, which means, considering the winding of the river, a trip of 75 miles or more for the strange passenger. -Chanute Tri bune. Section Hands Live Cheap.

The plaintiff states that the de fendants, prior to June 25, 1904, dug holes in the center of the traveled portion of the Lecompton road, the holes being about two feet deep and ten inches in diameter, at a point northwest of the waterworks reser voir on Pilot Knob and about fifteen rods east of the western limits of the city; that they left the places un guarded and with nothing to prevent travelers from falling into them. Turtle Huns to Cow's Tail. With one of his cows for bait and her tail a fishline, W. I. Lynn, who lives at 1810 South Fannie avenue, succeeded in bagging a monster snapping turtle.

The cow started to run, and the turtle was game and hung on till the cow came home. The boys cap tured the turtle and have kept him lariated with a piece of wire ever fcince." To St. Louis by Boat.

The advance already asked for is 27 cents. In the joint conference, while the miners and oper ators were mingling together, it was sometimes hard to tell the miners from the operators. As far as person al appearance, intelligence and dress were concerned one looked much like another. It was a young men's crowd, and the leaders on both sides of the house, among both the operators and miners, were young men. It is prob able that no such intelligent and well appearing convention of miners ever assembled in Pittsburg. FOUR PERSONS DROWNED. Boat Upset With Picnic Party, None of Whom Can Swim. Pittsburg, Kan., July 16. H. A. Stamm and wife, his sister, Miss Katie Stamm, and Louise Myers, all of this city, were drowned in Spring river Friday afternoon, near the Spring Grove club house, about eighteen miles east of here. They had been en Joying an outing at the club house for ten days in a party of twelve, and were enjoying a boat ride in the river. The boat went too near a mill dam and was upset, throwing the four into, the water. None of them could swim and all were drowned before help could reach them.

Must Choose from Three Routes Sur?ejed.i Hatters of Interest In Railroad Circles. W. R. Storey, chief engineer of the Santa. Fe. is back to his desk at the general office building: here. He has been in California during the past six months superintending the running of lines and surveys northwest from San Francisco. Between 800 and 900. miles of sur veys were made for the proposed new railroad which will reach from San Francisco northwest through the Red wood district to Humboldt. Bay in Humboldt county, Cal. The distance is about 300 miles. A great portion of the route of the proposed new road is through rugged ana mountainous country. Three sep arate and distinct routes were sur veyed. The profiles, together with' the estimates of construction, and the advantages ot each route have been filed with the officials of the Santa Fe system, and it is now left for the di rectors to determine which route will be finally selected. The proposed new road will traverse a country not well supplied with rail roads, "the new line will tai a cou try that is not now reached by any road and a country that in localities is quite well developed. Part of the country throus-h which the surveys were run did not present any obstacles, but at the same time a great deal of the country was exces sively rough and it was necessary to use pack trains to get through. The purpose of the road if built will be to develop the Redwood countrv. The north half of the route is quite well developed already. The fifty miles of railroad which is built out of Eureka and which already taps Keawood county has been pur chased, and it will be made a part of the new road when built. AVEST SURPRISES EAST. Director of Eastern Road Marvels at Equipment in 'West on hia return to New York from a western trip of inspection a leading director in several important railroad systems said: "What appealed to me most in my western trip was the striking change in the physical condition of the rail roads as compared with their condi tion no farther back than live or six years. The effects of their enormous expenditures of the last two years are plainly evidenced in their roadbeds, bridges, stations, etc. Then there has oeen remaricaoie improvement in equipment. In going from St. Louis to Leavenworth over the Missouri Pa cine I wanted a parlor car for myself and friends. Such a car was attach ed to our train, but the conductor for some reason was under orders not to open it. So we traveled in the usual passenger coaches. They were a mar vel. All were equipped, with electric lights and electric tans and other lea- tures unknown even to the passenger coach service of our oldest eastern trunk lines. The upholstering was in keeping and almost luxurious. As to financial conditions. 1 talked with many business men and farmers and all told the same story good prices for crops for a series of years and banks full of money, mat to my mind is the strong factor in the nnan cial situation. The prosperity of the west and south has a more solid basis than ever before, which with fair crops this year will assure recovery in general trade and railroad earnings. i nit i,rpt siiimT or lasr. vear was painful and drastic, but it had its compensating side. It came at a time when the railways were beginning to indulge in too great extravagance. It has checked that tendency and we have now a period of relative econ omy, which is a good thing." HAD TROUBLE IX FLOOD. Missouri Pacific Leased a Launch to Transfer Passengers. Iola. Kan.. July 16. It cost the Mis souri Pacific $107 to transfer passengers across the Neosho flood when it was at its height. To accomplish this trans fering the Pacific chartered the gasoline launch of E. M. Howard and kept it in service all the time. In all 345 pas senerers were transferred jn this launch. 80 being hauled between 10:30 and 2:30 Mondav night. Borne passengers got impatient and would not wait for the launch but patronized the little row boats which were soliciting business. About 50 people crossed in these boats. Travel in the launch was not witn- out excitement. Ihe pilot of the boat did not have, any chart of the reefs and barriers in the fields which he had to cross and there was not much time for taking soundings. A man was taken along for the purpose of getting into the water and loosening the boat wnen it eot caueht on any obstruction. Barb wire fences which were several inches under water but not far enough sub merged to permit the boat to pass safe ly over them, caused the trouble. It was then necessary for the diver to get down into the water and cut the ob structing wires with a pair of pliers which he carried for that purpose. REQUIRE RATE BELOW CUT. Mississippi Railroad Commission Up held by Chancellor Mayer. Chancellor Robert Mayer of Mississip pi has decided that the state railroad commission has the right to fix rates even below the cost of hauling, when it is shown that such a rate had been given to a favored few. The commission several months ago ordered the Alabama and Vicksburg to haul grain and grain products from Vicksburg to Meridian, across the state. for 3 cents a hundred pounds, ine railroad enjoined the body, and Chan cellor Mayer now dissolves the Injunc tion. The case will De carried to tne supreme court. Goodrich Resigns. At the Burlington offices in Hannibal announcement is made of the resigna tion of A. C. Goodrich, general manager of the Keokuk and Western, which was recently acquired by the Burlington. The road, together with the Chicago, Burlington and Kansas City, will be known as the Centervuie division, ana will be operated under the management j of John Boyle, the title of superintend ent being vested in him. Mr. Boyle will report to Henry Miller, general super intendent of the Missouri lines of the Burlington in St. Louis. AFTER THE RAILROADS. Wholesale Liquor Dealers Make Com plaint to Interstate Commission. Washington, Juiy 16. The National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association America yesterday filed a complaint with the interstate commerce commis sion against 31 railroads, alleging dis crimination in freight rates on whisky shipped from Missouri river and east ern points to the Pacific coast. The rate on whisky is given as $1.25 a hundred pounds. The rate on alcohol pure spirits and high wines is 85 cents a hundred. It costs $400 to ship a car load of whisky to the Pacific coast, but a car load of high proof spirits from which the Pacific coast whisky manu facturer can make two car loads of whisky can be shipped for $255. This condition is complained of as disastrous to eastern manufacturers and the interstate commerce commis sion is asked to have the rate on whisky and spirits made the same, also to or der the railroad to restore to shiDoers or wnisKy tne amounts they have paid in tne past in excess of the rate on spirits. DEFRAUDING THE RAILROADS. Gigantic Swindle Unearthed Affecting Denver Roads. Denver. July 16. A gigantic railroad ticket swindle, through which the rail- roaas having omces in Denver, have lost thousands of dollars has been un earthed according to a secret service agent of the Railroad Ticket Protective bureau, and action taken today is only the beginning of efforts to stamp out an alleged gang of ticket manipulators. Three arrests were made today by Un der Sheriff Felix O'Neill upon warrants sworn to by H. A. Koach and H. F. Cary of a well known detective agency, the names of the persons taken in cus tody being A. L. Hatch, E. E. Sisson and J. K. Rossneu. The latter is the manager of the Globe Ticket agency of this city which, it is claimed, is owned by the two former. These men are charged with having doctored Den ver and Rio Grande and Burlington tickets by changing the destination, plugging punched holes in cancelled tickets and otherwise changing them. A quantity of rubber stamp acids for obliterating ink marks and other mater ials said to have been used in altering tickets was found by the officers. Is Katy Out of Business? The Emporia Gazette says: It has been rumored for several days that the M., K. and T. railroad will run no more trains over the Emporia branch of the road until the track is put m better shape than it has been for several years. The report is that the railroad commissioners who were petitioned to in spect this oranch ot tne J-aty, deemed against the company and condemned this Drancn, requesting tne company to fix ud the track in a satisfactory manner before traffic was resumed. Mr. Steven son, the local agent, was asked what he knew about the reoort and said he had not heard authentically that the branch had been condemned. The little towns along the branch are greatly inconveni enced because no trains are running. jM.r. Stevenson says he doesn't know when traffic will be resumed, but that much work is being done on the road. 0 Automatic Coupler. Two employes of the Delaware and Hudson railroad have just invented an automatic coupler for air brake and steam pines that may bring an indepen dent fortune to them. They are Brake- man George E. Kelley and Engineer Joel Arnold. After about two years' study and experimenting, they have completed their appliance, which is very simple and can be attached to any car. By its use the air brake pipes, the steam heating fipes and the signal whistle are automat, cally coupled as the cars bump. The coupling of the pipes is regulated from the platform of the car by the same lever that governs the draw head. Railroad officials have become interested in the device. The Humorous Side of the Flood. Jake Strieb tells a good story that one may have license to believe. The other day he Informed one or our citi zens that he had a nice mess of frogs for dinner nothing fishy about that but he said that the frogs were caught from the front end of the binder. There had been so much rain that the wheat field was a regular froe- pond and when the binder would go through the field the frogs would hop up on the platform to keep from getting run over.

Reports of Damage to What Alleged to be Exaggerated. MUCH POWER FOR EYIL Lies in the Strike Inaugurated at Packing tlouses. Railway Gross Earnings Show an Increase for the Year, New York, July 16. Bradstreefs says: 'Divers movements in trade, indus try and syei-ulation give an irre-jutar appearance to the' general business situation.. Distributive trade and in dusiry is still quiet and evm dull awaiting e'earer views of the crop out-turn. Damage to the winter wheat crop by heavy rains is admit ted, although alleged to be exagger ated. Disorganization in the meat slaughtering industry has followed strike which if not settled, as now seems likely, contains much power for evil. All meat prices have been ad vanced and cattle shipments checked. Railway gross earnings for the fiscal year will show an increase over the best previous years, but net results are less clearly defined, with the ques tion whether an increase or decrease will be shown still in doubt. "The general undertone is one of confidence, good results being looked for by the business world from an expected large volume of fall trade. Viewed geographically, the south seems easily to have the best outlook. the cotton crop having progressed so far with little or no drawbacks ex cept the original lateness of the spring. The outlook is for an im mense cotton crop. The southern peach crop this year has been enor mous and has sold at good prices. "Midsummer trade conditions have dominated distributive markets. Col lections the country over are classed as little better than slow. "Among the Industries the Iron trade notes increased quiet, produe tion being scaled down to meet re ceding consumption. The only change to note is increased firmness among southern producers who find the strike of coal miners in the Birming ham district a strengthening feature. Finished products are quiet and even dull. The boot and shoe Industry is rather quiet and eastern shipments are 7.5 per cent, behind a year ago Manufacturers are, however, begin ning to purchase leather, which is firmer and tends upward. Rather more was reported doing in some kinds of cotton goods this week, some heavy export orders being reported at very low prices, but against this was a report -that Fall River manufacturers would make a further reduction in wages. The cot ton goods side of the market has un questionably been much improved. Woolen goods manufacturers have been free buyers of raw material, the result being firmness all along the line ana a fractional advance in prices. Foreign trade totals for the fiscal year are next to the largest ever re ported. Imports are 3.5 per cent. less than in l03, and the aggregate for eign trade is 1 per cent, under that of the fiscal year 1903. Cotton was the sheet anchor of our export trade, while breadstuffs shipments fell to a low ebb. Exports of manufactured goods have, however, exceeded all pre vious years. "Business failures In the United States for the week ending July 14 number 203, against 172 last week, 173 in the like week in 1903. 174 in 1902, 208 in 1901. and 202 in 1900. In Canada failures for the week num ber 18, as against 14 last week and 13 in this week a year ago." R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "Trade conditions were gradually be coming more normal after the conclu sion of political conventions, when a new disturbing factor appeared in the strike of packing house employes and allied trades. This enhanced prices cf meats and added many thousands to the already large army of unemployed, weakening the purchaser power of the people still further. Aside from this un favorable development, the news of the week contained much encouragement. Crop prospects improved and the gen eral level prices for farm products promises a large return to agricultur ists, which means better business for all Industries. Confidence grows with the crops, retailers showing more dis position to prepare for the future as the season advances with no serious setback to the farms. A few manufac turing lines are more active, although there is still much idleness at the shops and mills and pig iron output for July will be smaller than any recent month. Reports of increased plans for erection of buildings are not accompanied by any noteworthy expansion in demand for structural materials as yet. Rail way earnings for the first week of July are only 6 per cent lower than last year and foreign trade at this port showedgains of $530,286 in exports and $1,906,724 in imports as compared with the corresponding week a year ago. I "Textile manufacturing plants are op erating somewhat irregularly, regula tion of wages by Fall River concerns having been decided upon, and this may result in the general resumption so great desired. In the primary market for cotton goods there is a disposition to maintain quotations, sellers declin ing to consider bids below the level re cently reached. Orders are still limited to small-quantities for quick delivery. Export buying has again provided the best feature of the market, stocks of heavy sheetings and drills being fairly well cleaned up. In woolen goods the week has brought the opening up of new lines of medium grade men's wear at about last year's prices. This fact and some resumption of clothing fac tories combined to increase sales, put ting this industry In a better position than other textiles. Footwear markets are more active.many western buyers having appeared in Boston and a fair volume of supplementary fall orders have been placed. Tanners who are short of hides are unable to secure de liveries on account of the -strike, and the situation threatens to become seri ous if the struggle is prolonged. This influence is calculated to advance the hide market. "Failures this week numbered 225 In the United States, against 213 last year and 2D in Canada, against 16 a year ago." Bank Clearings.

The following table, compiled by Bradstreet, shows the bank clearings at the principal cities for the week ended July tA, with th percentage Dr. J. .Alvin tOpRNJE s Entitled to All the Credit For the Many Cures That Are Being Effected Daily at His Office. r-V" J .;.v f i- s The fame of Dr. J.

4 TOPEKA STATE JOUKNAIf SATURDAY EVENING. JULY lv 1904. TELE CITY PRIXTIXG. The State Journal discovered a few preeka ago that the city of Topeka had been overcharged by a large number ot (dollars for some advertising given by the city to the official paperforthemonth ef June. It was astonished that such a thing was going on. It measured up the advertising for the whole month and was more astonished than ever at the large amount being taken from the city Illegally in a single month. It Investigated the advertising for ther months and was astounded. It became convinced, having the proof, that these overcharges extended over some considerable period, and accord ingly published the charges. The article created a sensation, as ur readers know. The council at ence ordered an Investigation, the ways and means committee met con tinuously night after night for about ten days, showing that during four years over three thousand dollars had been taken Illegally from the city treasury and in direct violation of contracts made from year to year for four years. Other Investigations showed that for the last six years the State Journal was the only paper Which faithfully carried out Its con tract with the city. Notwithstanding these facts, and the absolute recovery for Topeka of a large amount of money unlawfully taken from it. this paper has incurred by its action in performing a plain duty a number of bitter enemies. Notwithstanding the paper has been xceedingly careful in its statements and reports of this whole matter, and has kept out of Its columns many other bitter charges and intimations offered In this same connection, the paper has made enemies by its ex posure. Notwithstanding the fact that the tity council is likely to award the city printing for the ensuing year next Mon day evening, this paper stands the poorest chance for getting the adver tising. The State Journal is too independent; It is too business-like in its methods; it likes too well to expose wrong doing, whether Intentional wrong doing or careless wrong doing. It is a paper. de voted to the public more than to the politicians. The paper will continue along those lines printing or no print ing. IRELAND DIDN'T COME. Strike Leaders Hare Evidently Aban doned Topeka. To all appearances the leaders of the Santa Fe machinists' strike have left Topeka for good. Arthur Ireland, the organizer4t.lU&. American Fede ration of Labor, was expected to come today, but up until 3 o'clock' nothing hue! been heard of him. The local strike leaders have had no word from any of the leaders of the movement for several days. The general head quarters which were located at To pakea have been closed, and it cannot be announced that a general head quarters are In existence. The leaders are separated. Mr. Wilson it is said Is on the southern lines, and Mr. Buckalew Is on the western lines. The boilermakers are at work here, having remained at work. They did not strike, as it was predicted they would. It Is announced that some of the leaders Of the strike will return to Topeka about August 1. In view of the approaching decreases in business and the reduction In working forces of the railroad, it will be necessary for th -.trike leaders to keep pretty busy In their efforts to In fuse the men with confidence of winning the strike. The local strikers a re keeping busy at the local headquarters by pasting up a Jiistory of their strike from the newspa per clippings. WILL BE A RECKONING. Russia Must Account for Seizing Mail of German Steamer. Berlin, July 16. The foreign office here confirms the report of the seizure of the North German Lloyd steamer Prins Heinrich by the Russian volun teer steamer Smolensk in the Red sea, but declines to discuss the political features of the case at this stage and does not indicate what steps it intends to take. The news reached here too late for most of the evening papers to comment on it. The Tageblat says: "A speedy ex planation of this Russian action against the empire's postal flag is Im peratively necessary. Steps must be taken that a disavowal is made and that such Russian arbitrary acts are avoided in the future." The I.ckal Anzeiger thinks the eelsure wil lbe most hard to Justify and says that if it is found that the Russian action is contrary to the law j of nations, the German government I will not hesitate to apply a remedy in 1 r wiriest sense. 1 Changes in Saints' I.lnenp. Another slight shake-up took place In the Saints this morning. Left Field er Zarbaugh whs released, and Shin ners. who was tried out on third, was scheduled to play the sun garden this afternoon. Zarbaugh came from Bed ford. Iowa, and was recommended to be excellent. But his hitting was everything but that. He showed will ingness to work, and that won him favor with the fans. Shlnners played In the field alongside of Cole in the New York State league for four years. Since in Topeka his hitting has been fair and for that reason he displaced Zarbaugh. It was planned to put Olson on third this afternoon and Shinners at short and Frie! in the field, but after considering the mat ter the management got over this foolish notion and decided to send the men back on the field Just as they played Friday, with the exception of the displacement of Zarbaugh by Shinners. Naughty Boys Stole Peaches. George Schmidt and John Kaberly, two white boys of Pleasant Valley, apent Friday night in the county Jail on the charge of stealing peaches from Billard's farm. This morning both were arraigned in the city court and releas ed on $50 bonds. Their trial was set for next Friday. Humors They take possession of the body, and are Lords of Misrule. They are attended by pimples, bolls, the Itching tetter, salt rheum, and other cu taneous eruptions; by feelings of weakness, languor, general debility and what not. They cause more suffering than anything else. Health, Strength, Peace and Pleasure require their expulsion, and this is posi tively effected, according to thousands of grateful testimonials, by Hood's Sarsaparilla Which radically and permanently drives them out and builds up the whole system. KIDDLE IS FOR PARKER. Old Populist State Leader Thinks He Will Be Elected. Taylor Riddle, formerly chairman of the Populist state central commit tee, but who has been advising a close affiliation with the Democrats for the past two years to the extent that he has been almost a Democrat himself, Is in Topeka from Marion today. While he evidently was not much pleased with the nomination1 of Par ker, he says he believes Parker will be elected, "but not with the aid of any western votes, he adds. "Parker will be elected by the same element that elected McKinley," said Mr. Riddle. "He has the support of the money interests of the east be cause they believe he is a "sate man and they will be strong enough to elect him. I believe. Mr. Riddle says the destruction of crops by the rains and floods in his part of the state has been underesti mated. "I lost about everything on my farm," he said. "The flood not only took my crops but it swept away my fences, too. It didn't take the build ings, but if there had been a mort gage on the place l guess it wouia have taken that. And it not only took my hay crop this year, but It killed the alfalfa as well. In Ed Hoch's newspaper office in Marion the water was two feet deep or more ior a aay or two. Hoch is a prohibitionist. though, so water doesn t hurt him very much." NEARLY FOUND HIS MATCH. Prof. Gleason Has a Hard Tussle With a Horse.

The weather was torrid and both the professor and the horse were steam ing when the ordeal was over.

But. like the first one. he learned a. valuable lesson in behavior. and both will undoubtedly become valua ble animals after another session with the professor. Mr. Eli G.

Sheriff Grisim called on Governor Van Sant today and talked over the strike situ ation with him. The governor had been informed that the situation was somewhat critical. It is said that the militia will be called out on the first show of violence. When Sheriff Gris im returned after his interview with Governor Van Sant he found one of the employes of the office force of Swift Co. in the hands of the strik ers. The man was being roughly han dled -when the sheriff with a number of deputies rescued him. It is said that the merchants and manufac turers' asociation, of which Swift Co. are members, is taking steps to compel Sheriff Grisim to disperse the strikers which surround the works, and in the event of his failure to do so a demand will be made on the gov ernor for state troops. LAWRENCE MAN GETS IT. Contract for New Building at K. U. Let for $43,421.

William Nedehoffer of Lawrence is the success ful bidder. The appropriation for the building is 150,000, but State Architect Stanton, who prepared the plans, placed the esti mate for its cost at $46,000. and the ac cepted bid had to be below that figure. The bidders and the amounts for which they offered to erect the building were as follows: William Nedehoffer, Lawrence, $43, 421.80. Henry Bennett, Topeka, $44,974. Blanche Keating, Topeka. $45,472.

REPORT ON CITY PRIXTIXG. Ways and Means Committee, Adopt One Tonight. Will This evening the ways and means committee will meet to adopt a re port to the counci lconcerning the city printing overcharges, which- has been under investigation. Councilmen Green and Howe met Friday as a sub committee to draft the report, and agreed upon the various points to be covered by the report. Mr. Howe is drafting the report today. It is expected that Arthur Capper, president of the Capital company, will come before the committee and tell it why the council should not try to make the Capital pay for the "pad ding" overcharge In the council pro ceedings. Chris Roof, who wants trie city to pay him $1,000 damages because of loss of business due to the washing out of the East Eighth avenue bridge. will come before the meeting to nnd out what report the committee decides to make to the council. rne tnatca- tions are that the claim- win be re jected without much further' cere mony. WANTS THE POND DRAINED. Mrs. Dwjer Appeals to Council to Suppress Miasma Breeder. Mrs. James Dwyer, who made a hard fight against the city on the "hog ordinance," claiming that she was not inside the city limits and con sequently not subject to the ordinance, is now getting it back on the city for neating her and proving that she does live inside the limits. She is demanding that the city drain a big pond of water which has collected near her home at Third and Lawrence streets, in the east part of town. She says that the pond is cov ered with green scum, and that the city will have to take care of it or she will know the reason why. She says the pond collects there because of im proper grading of the streets. The probability is that the health department will have to condemn the pond and order it filled up.

A meeting of the Republican state central committee has been called by Chairman Stubbs for next Thursday afternoon, and at that time the Re publican headquarters will be formal ly opened. Chairman Stubbs will also invite n'! the candidates on the state ticket and all the Republican congres sional candidates to meet with the committee at that time. There wil! also be an innovation in connection with this committee meet ing. It will be a banquet or some thing of that nature. There will be perhaps seventy-five people present. The plans for the event have not yet been perfected. Plans for the campaign will be talked over by the committee and candidates at that time. The work of opening up the correspondence will commence next week, and prepa rations will be made to work up a big crowd for the opening of the speaking campaign at Marion on September 3. Chairman Stubbs says he already has the names of several thousand workers, and he intends to get one worker for every twenty voters. He will distribute literature and work up an interest in the campaign through these workers. During the six years that Morton Aibaugh was chairman of the Republican state committee he worked up an excellent organization of this kind. In fact the detail with which he organized was Mr. AI baugh's strong point. Congressman Victor Murdock will make a ".--peaking" campaign this year. Last year he made a hand shaking campaign. He expects to make a speech in every one of the thirty-six counties in his district,-and in some counties he wi!! make several. In speaking of the story that Chair man Stubbs will make a statement at the close of the campaign showing from what sources he received his campaign funds and ail the ways in which he dis bursed them. C. S. Finch, one of Mr. Stubbs" friends, says: "Chairman Stubbs is talking through his hat quite a good deal, but his bluff sounds well. He says he is going to have the records show Just where the campaign money comes from, and where it goes to. Which he will not do, and which, if he attempts, will get him into more trouble than a bear that upsets a bee hive. It is a good bluff, we say and sounds all right, but no chairman ever did such a thing, and no chairman ever will. In the first plate, there is no sense in it, and in the second place there is no reason for doing it. The central committee is there to handle the funds, nnd the man who contrib utes Is -willing to trust that committee to expend the money properly. If he is not. he will not contribute. Eut Mr. Stubbs is a new hand at the plow, and he oossibly doesn't know that there are a thousand things to be done with money that ore not just exactly ortho dox, and wouldn't look well if printed in black and white. They are things legitimate in politics, but explanations would be embarrassing, and so explana tions are not made. Mr. Stubbs will discover this; and he will find that one man who wants to pull him through will be almighty hot if he doesn't get it. and then finds out that some other Jellow who really didn't need help did a;et it. Mr. Stubbs is probably honest In saying what he does, but what will he do when the railroads dip up for his campaign fund? Will he call in the re porters and say, 'Gentlemen, the Great and Good Santa Fe Railroad company, a benevolent and charitable institu tion, has just contributed steen thou sand dollars for the good of our splend id cause, and we desire through the medium of the press to thank in a pub lic manner thissplendidorganization for its beneficent gift.' Think he will do that, do you? That is what he says he will do, but by and by he will find out he Is mistaken. He will just take the money and shut up like a clam." E. W. Hoch does not believe Judge Parker's telegram, to the St. Ixiuis con vention waa not fair and honest. If Mr. Hoch should try he might find some things closer at home that have not been altogether fair and honest, but It ought not to be expected, per haps, that Mr. Hoch will look for those. In commenting on Parker's nomination Mr. Hoch says editorially. "Judge Parker, the Democratic nom inee for president, is getting considera ble credit for his telegram 'boldly' an nouncing himself in favor of the gold standard. But honestly, now, wasn't it an act deserving of condemnation rather than commendation? Mr. Bryan has been demanding for months that Mr. Parker come out from cover and define his position, but he kept solemn silence. Mr. Hill, his nearest friend and manager, declared before the oom- THEATIUCALS AT VIXEWOOD. Lorraine Buchanan Company to Open Sunday Evening.

Then the 'gold bugs' consented to leave all reference to the financial question out of the platform. Thus illusioned and deluded the silver people consented to Mr. Parker's nom ination. After they had been led into the trap and the trap was sprung, in other words after the scheme had suc ceeded and Mr. Parker had been nom inated, and as Mr. Bryan says it was too late to prevent the fraud, Mr. Par ker's famous telegram was sprung on the convention which committed the candidate and convention to the S"ld standard.

Miss Florence Buchanan and Mr. Robert Mansfield, the leading man of the Bil lionairess company, who is a well known New York actor." The Joplin Globe says. "The chief feature of the performance is Miss Bu chanan In her role of Nordeau. The sit uations of the play are extremely clever ana tne merits or the comedy as a whole are obvious. Robert Mansfield portrays the part of Stanley Marlowe in a mas terly manner, and by the way, Mr. Mansfield will be remembered by the writer in his characterization of Sun- ballat In the original of 'Ben Hur' at the Broadway theater In New York city.

SUFFERED MANY YEARS With a Complication of FEMALE DISEASES. Two Robust Women Who Owe Their Restored Health and Usefulness to Pe-ru-na. Tens of Thousands of Testimonials Received Yearly. Thankful Women Who Have Been Cured by Dr. Hartman's Free Treatment. i Miss Elizabeth Streight, Treas urer Housekeepers' Economic Club, 328 Kast Market St., Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "I heartily endorse Peruna because I have found it to be the only medi cine that ever helped me. I suffered for years with backache and pains in the lower regions. At times I became so dizzy that I had to go to bed, and existance. was simply misery. The doctor told me that I had ulceration of the uterus and this disease had simply drained my life forces. How ever, after I began using Peruna I grew stronger and better gradually. My general health began to improve before the first bottle was used and within a month the dizzy spells were gone. I used the treatment for fully three months, each day getting better until new health and strength were restored to me. I cannot speak too highly of your wonderful remedy. It is a blessing to sick women." Miss Elizabeth Streight. "I want to do what I can to let the whole world know what a grand med icine Peruna is. For eleven years I suffered with female troubles, and complications arising therefrom. Doc tors failed to cure me, and I despaired of being helped. Peruna cured me in three short months, l can hardly be lieve It myselr, but it Is a Dlessea fact. I am perfectly well now and have not had an ache or pain for months. I want x my sufferiiiij sisters to Know what Peruna has done for me." Miss Mnrie Johnson. The above testimonial is from Miss Marie Johnson, 11 Columbia, East Detroit, Mich.; was worthy vice tem plar in Hope lodge No. 6, Independent Order Good Templars... Miss Johnson, Pe-ru-na is a Blessing to Sick Women. as so many other women also have done, found In Peruna a specific for a severe case ofiernale weakness. Pelvic catarrh is a phrase coined by Dr. Hartman, covering all that large class of diseases that used to be known as female weakness. The lower portion of the abdomen is called by anatomists the pelvis. The organs contained in this portion of the body are known as the pelvic organs. There are several of them, very delicate and very subject to catarrh. Few women escape entirely catarrh of these or gans. While each case presents some minor difference as to detail, they are all in reality alike. Pelvic catarrh therefore is a generic term that covers all cases of catarrh of the pelvic organs. There is no cure equal in promptness and permanency to a short course of Peruna. Peruna does not relieve these cases by temporarily mitigating some symptom, but by a removal of the cause. Many a woman can testify that local treatment does not permanently cure. A large multitude of women are constantly Misa Ruth Emerson, 72 Sycamore St, Buffalo, N. Y., writes I suffered for two years with Irregular and painful menstruation, and Peruna cured me with in six weeks. I cannot tell bow grateful I feel. Any agency which brings health and strength to the allilcted Is always a welcome friend, and today tha market Is ao filled with useless and Injurious me d Iclnes that it is a pleasure t o know of ao reliable a remedy a a you place be fore tha pub lic." Miss Ruth Emerson. oooooo f oing from octor to doc tor to receive local treat ment, with little or no result. In Peruna these women find a prompt and permanent cure. Thousands upon upon thousands of testimonials to this effect are received by Dr. Hartman every year. The good that Peruna has accomplished in this class of cases can scarcely be overestimated. Imitations of Pe-ru-na. Peruna has come to be recognized as the greatest remedy for catarrh in the world. At first competitors tried to deny this and insisted that their remedies were Just as good. This was found to be impossible, however, and now imitations are springing up everywhere. To succesfully palm off an imitation of Peruna even for a short time is sure to be a money-making scheme, but no one who has ever taken Peruna can be fooled on these Imitations. No con scientious druggist would sell one of them. Every purchaser should look carefully at each package of Peruna he buys to be sure that he is getting only genuine Peruna.

Wliile Trying to Make his Escape From Governor's Island. New York, July 16. Three soldiers imprisoned on Governor's Island for de sertion have tried to escape in a row- boat. One of them, Private Alfred Bostwick was shot by a sentry. The bullet passed through Bostwick's jaw and he probably will die. His two com panions, when they saw Bostwick wounded, promptly stopped rowing, They were overhauled, taken back to the island and put in the guardhouse. Bostwick's companions were William Rhener and a man named Cox. They had been model prisoners and Bostwick was to have been released August 1. Rhener would have been freed two months later, but neither was aware of the shortening of their terms. The prisoners were at work on the extension of the island defense being made by filling in.

They are staunch anti-merger men who admire Governor Van Sant for his fight against the railroads, and they regard the nomination of Dunn and his followers as a railroad victory designed to rebuke those who dared to insist upon the observance of laws by large corporations.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOUBNAI SATURDAY EVENING, JULY. 1 6, 1904 IS NOT YET FIXED. Fillmore Street Controrersy to Again Be in Council. ControTersj Is Orer Fire Feet of Ground. CHANGE IN THE STREET Trouble Dates Back to Adjust ment of Liues. How a Question Where Pare merit Shalt lie. Instead of being adjusted by the re cent decision of the streets and walks committee of the city council, the Fillmore street paving difficulty seems to be one of the things that is never settled like Tennyson's brook it goes on forever. The next battle will be on the floor of the council Monday night, when Councilman Neil will lead an attack on the report o the streets and walks committee. If this attack fails, the fight will again be taken into the courts. The legal stack will be direct ed against Dr. J. C. McCIintock, in an effort to compel him to give up pos session of the land which the city va cated and which thereby became part of his front yard. This Fillmore street row has been go ing on so long that the parties to it rave almost lost sight of the original grounds of contention. It has reached the stage where some of themdon't speak. At first it was purely a gen tleman's disagreement" which would be smoothed over and adjusted without the disturbance of a feather. But now It is nothing Put a neignpornooa row, of uncommon vigor. And the trouble all comes because Mr. McCIintock and his friends want the north end of the pavement between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets laid 2 feet further east than seems desir- able to Mr. Low. and his friends. It hardly seems worth while to spend a lot of time and money quarreling about such a trifling matter. After the pave ment is once laid, nobody could tell with the naked eye which side secured the disputed 2 feet. But both sides say they are fighting for a principle," and when anybody gets that notion well imbedded in his system, there is likely to be a fireworks display later on. It requires quite a lot of ancient his tory to get back to the early founda tions of the present trouble. It seems to have begun in 1895. At that time Fillmore street was opened 100 feet wide a short distance south of Thir teenth, and then opened only 80 feet wide for another short distance. It was suggested that in order to make the street of uniform width, a little block of land about 20 feet wide and 100 feet long, marked "A" in the plat, should be vacated, and added to the McCIintock corner. It was a good thing for the McCIintock property, ana was consented to by Mr. Low who wanted to be friendly. The south end of Fillmore, at Thir teenth street, was at this particular moment just 80 feet wide, and it was at this time that the pavement on Thir teenth and north on Fillmore was laid. The pavement intersection projecting to the property line was built in the center of this 80 feet street. A few years later the Eckert family platted the south, part of the block, and opened Fillmore clear down through to Fourteenth, but they opened it only 75 feet wide. The makes the north half of the street in this block 80 feet wide and the south half 75 feet. Again it was arranged to vacate land in front of the Mc CIintock property to make the street 75 feet wide the whole distance, and another strip five feet wide, marked "B" on the plat, was annexed to the front of the McCIintock property. Strictly according to law, this va cated land should have probably been divided equally between the property on each side of the street, but as it was managed the McCIintock prop erty got It all. This reduction in the width of Fill more to 75 feet left the pavement in tersection at the north end of the street five feet closer to the Mc CIintock proptry line than to the property line of the land on the east of the street then owned by M. A. Low, but now owned by his daughter, Mrs. A. T. Reid. When the people on Fillmore street There'll Be Lots of Typhoid and Malaria This Fall. Extremely wet seasons are always sickly seasons. Wet weather breeds the fever" fungus. The water gets filthy and impure. Typhoid and Malaria re sult. The only way to escape these dis eases is to put all of the organs of the body in first class condition. Brace them up to meet the test with a good tonic. Get everything about the ma chine to running smoothly and Typhoid and Malaria, won't bother you. Hobart's Yin-Seng Tonic Is an absolute preventative of fever. It tones up the stomach, keeps the bow els regular and sets the liver right. It keeps you from getting bilious and makes you feel fine as a fiddle. Nothing equals it as a summer tonic. Neither typhoid nor malaria can get a foothold if the system is right, and Vin-Seng Tonic makes it right. If you're tired when you get up in the morning, or feel frazzled out during the day it will straighten you out. A Good Many Topeka People Have used Vin-Seng Tonic with the best of results. If you'll call we'll be glad to tell you who they are and you can ask them about it. We have a lot of written testimonials from some of the best people of the town, which ought to have weight. And we won't charge you anything for Vin-Seng Tonic unless it helps you. That's a fair proposition Isn't it? Vin-Seng Tonic, 50c per bottle; 3 bottles $1.25.

The city council granted the petition without suspecting the dilemma which it was getting into. This was discovered before long, how ever. Two courses were open to the council: First To order the pavement laid to connect with the existing intersec tion, which would throw it five feet closer to the sidewalks on the west side of the street than to the side walks on the east side of the street. Second To lay the pavement in the center of the 75-foot street, or 2 feet further east than it would be if built to connect with the existing in tersection. This would necessitate building a new intersection. Mr. Low and Mr. Reid urged that the first plan should be adopted, and after some stormy debates before the streets and walks committee and the whole council, they carried their point. Then the McCIintock faction brought an injunction suit to re strain the city from laying the pave ment as it had voted to do. The court refused to grant the injunction, on the ground that the city council had the right to lay the pavement where it pleased. 3 n o TS lT6tHT H Si-. V. I K i irv K o 5 i terry o iwes INTIRSI.-TM ArD Burn ir CMrcTi Faction tj rvv. a ii, I coti or rait Ttwi fit The Street Intersection That Is Caus ing All the Trouble. The city officers proposed as a com promise that the pavement should be built to connect with the old intersection at the north end of the street, but should be allowed to argle just enough to be ex actly in the center of the 75 foot street at the south end of the block, and Mr. Low agreed. This was not satisfactory to the jiccuniocK crowa, nowever. Apparently the licht was over, ftxirt Mr. Low and Mr. Reid had won. But actine on the theory that the decision of the court had left the question still over for me council s action, trie MccnntocK tac tion went back before the streets and walks committee this spring with a re quest to have the pavement laid in the center 01 tne street all the way. A city eiecnon naa taKen place since tne mat ter was before the committee previously. The membership of the council had ma terially changed. A new committee was in power The committee by a vote of 4 to 2 reversed its action and the action of the council and voted to lay the pavement where the McCIintock crowd wanted it. Did the committee have any right to take such action? Was it in their power to reopen the question and recommend that the council take any further action? vv ill the council itself have the right to reopen the question a year after having given a supposedly final decision? These are questions which are raised by the uiw taction, wnicn is anxious that tmngs should remain in statu quo and that the council should keep its hands off. Next Monday night the council will de cide wnether it will take any further ac. tion. or whether it will allow its last year s verdict to stand. If the council reverses its last year's action the Low crowd will doubtless take the matter into the courts. Thev will not only try to make the council stand by its oia decision, out it will try to punlsn irr. McCIintock by taking away from him the vacated portions of Fillmore street which have been annexed to his front yard. They will claim that the vacation ordinances were illegal because they did not make an equal division or tne vacated property. nut. instead, gave it an to ur. McLiln tock. RAILROADED TO PRISOX. XesToes Hurried Throuch a Trial to Avoid a Lynching. Mount Holly, N. J., July 16. Aaron Timber, Jonas Sims and William Aus tin, negroes who confessed to assault ing Mrs. Elsie Biddle of Burlington, N. J., were sentenced to 49 years in state prison, after a record breaking trial. The men arrived in Mount Holly at 1:15 p. m. Less than half an hour later they had pleaded guilty, being given the extreme penalty of the law and had started for prison. A crowd at the rail road station hooted the prisoners, but a company of militia preserved order. Trenton was reached at 2:30 o clock and the men had begun their sentence at 2:4.- p. m. Judge Gaskill explained the swift methods employed in sending the three negroes to the state prison. He said: The rapidity with which the cases ofthe three assailants of Mrs. Biddle were tried, sentenced and sent to pris on was due to a meeting of 200 men at which arrangements were made to blow open. Mount Holly jail, secure the three negroes and lynch them. "It was the women of the county that drove the men to determine on desper ate measures." Fort Scott Gamblers Convicted. Fort Scott, Kas., July 16. In police court "Butch" Strums and the sev eral other gamblers who were arrest ed a couple of weeks ago on the charge of gambling, were convicted. In addition to the proprietor of the place three of the players were arrest ed, the case against the others being dismissed because the testimony of Marshal Mendenhall did not show that they were playing. Police Judge Hill deferred passing sentence on the defendants. They will take an appeal to the supreme court, and the cases will be fought at the next term. Colored Women Adjourn. St. Louis, July 16.

Peter Stevenson Fatally Injured Union Pacific Yards. in Peter Stevenson, colored, of 1151 Jefferson street, an employe of the Chicago Lumber company, was struck by a switch engine in the Union Pacific yards in North Topeka last evening and thrown against switch stand and lever with such force that he received internal in juries from which he will lose his life. An operation was performed by Dr. W. F. Bowen at Christ hospital by which his left kidney was removed. The force of the shock mangled the kidney and other organs to such an extent that they were rendered use less. Stevenson was about 19 years old. He had intended to catch a ride in order to cut down the distance he had to walk to his home, when the accident occurred. NEARLY $100,000 TURNED IN. Large Amount Realized from Sale of School Lands. Within the last six weeks there has been turned into the state treasury nearly $100,000 in principal and in terest from the sale of school lands. The exact amount is $9,997.64. as re ported by Captain Gibson, who has charge of the school land records in the auditor's office. Something over half of this amount is in payments on principal and the balance is interest. The principal goes directly into the permanent school fund, and the con stitution provides that that fund shall never be diminished, so that what once goes into it can never be taken out. The interest goes into tne an nual school fund, and is disbursed to the various counties of the state along' with the rest of the. annual fund. The permanent school fund now amounts to nearly $7,600,000, which is kept invested as nearly as possible in Kansas bonds. May Be No Grocers' Picnic. There may not be a grocers' picnic this year because of the failure of the Vinewood Park company to take up the matter. The grocers wish to stay in Topeka and asked id and co-operation from the park company to the extent of a $500 donation. The rail way company replied that they would refer the matter to Vice President L. E. Myers, who would be in Topeka shortly. But that "shortly" has stretched itself out into almost four weeks, and the grocers feel that the Vinewood people don't want them. They will wait a few days yet in the matter, and then probably give up the idea, although some of those having the matter in charge are strongly in favor of going to St. Joseph.

TONE To our Patrons:- We believe that a person who can pay and won't pay, should be made to pay, for he belongs to the "dead beat" class, and the people should be protected against him. It is only fair to, assume that, in most instances, accounts placed in our. hands for collection are considered worthless. We have a system that never fails of results. We do not plead or argue the casa with anyone. No one knows more about an account than the person who owes it. The pleading and arguing has all been done between the parties interested long before the account reaches our hands. Therefore we waive preliminaries and begin, a system of in quiries among the debtor's friends and acquaintances (social as well as business) regarding his financial responsibility and standing. We advertise the account for sale in the newspapers of his town. Only as a last resort do we bring suit, for experience shown that "dead beats" fear notoriety more than law. Publicity puts a stop to his practices, since everybody is warned. It is seldom that anybody can "beat" a community after we are through with him, for he Is virtually placarded as a person who does not meet his obligations. We recognize no such word as "fail" in our line, and nothing short of a new-made grave, a well-attested cataclysm or an earthquake can bar us. We ask no fee until your account has been collected and we never return an execution proof individual's account as uncollectable un less we can accompany it with a physician's certificate of decease, or with the verdict ef av coroner's jury upon the debtor's untimely tak ing off. We make collections in all parts of the United States. Send us your old notes and accounts and we will collect them. No fee charged unless collection is made.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL BAnVTtTAEVJSNINQ, JULY 3 6, 1904. SINGERS AT PLAY. llow Famous Prima Donnas En joj Their Vacations. Host of Them Seek quiet Cor ners in Europe. MELBA ON THE THAMES Besides a Country Seat Main tains a London Home. Jttme. Kordica Only One Who Re mains in America. No one class of persons flits more nuioiriv or unanimously to Europe than thi rrcat nrima donnas. One night the curtain goes down on the The next day the nre art on tVi bounding DlllOWS When they return in the autumn for a fresh installment of American dol lars they tell you how dearly they int-o imrir.a. But they get away from it Just as soon as they can after the last installment of their salary for the season has been added to their bank accounts. Thnnirh these singers are paid from even to ten times the amount here thax they get abroad, and might pre fer to stay in this country between onenns thfv reeoenlze the above facts and hasten away with the end of the season. Most of them own handsome villas, and Mme. Melba maintains, besides a rmmtrv Koat on the Thames, a fine house In London at No. 30 Great Cum berland place, Hyde park. This Lon don home is richly and elaborately furnished, as may be judged from the fact that her own bedroom contains a toilet st of gold. The prima donna, however, prefers her much less pre tentious country seat. Quarry Wood, near Great Marlow, on the Thames. Here she has her sister and little niece as frequent visitors. One of the prima donna's methods f amusing herself is boating on the Thames. Part of the time she glides along the waters in an unusually swift and well-finished electric launch. She also is fond of the punt, the typical English pleasure boat. When the white flag with the double-tailed red lion is hoisted over the Torre dl Campiglioni, near Val lombrosa, in the Apennines, and over looking the valley of the Arno, the dwellers in the valley and on the hillside know that Mme. Emma Eames and her husband, Mr. Julian Story, will soon be at their castle for their summer outing. The prima donna calls the castle "Julian Story's Baby" because he planned the structure and watched its building with such keen interest. Mme. Eames is so fond of It that although she always plans to go to Home fete or on a visit or two during the summer, once she is safe at Cam piglioni she stays there until her holi day Is over. Usually she puts in thir teen solid -weeks there. The famous singer says that at her castle "nothing is too good for dogs," and that during the summer she al most "is buried under dogs." She has three deerhounds, three dachs hunds and two of, the famous Marem ma sheep dogs. Mme. Eames life at Campiglioni is one of perfect freedom. After her morning's vocal exercises (all her later roles have been studied at the Torre) and her long walk in the afternoon, the sense of freedom is not allowed to depart. For dinner is served out on the loggia with a full view of the long and beautiful sweep of the Val d'Arno. where the river passes through the hills of the famous woods of Val lombrosa on its course toward Flor ence. If Mme. Eames at Campiglioni is "buried under dogs," Mme. Schuman Heink in her pretty villa near Dres den is buried under babies. Such a lot of children (eight), especially for a prima donna! She dotes on them, says it does her voice good to have them; adds that If she ever feels her voice giving out she'll have another. Her name is Ernestine, and her villa is called Villa Tini. It is at Koetzschenbroda, near Dresden. Her greatest delight there is to be with her large family. Indeed, this fam ily is in her thoughts even when she is singing in America. Once when at a rehearsal of "Rheingold," at the Metropolitan opera house, the appa ratus for hoisting and lowering the Rhine Daughters got out of order and Mme. Schuman-Heink. who was one of the trio, remained suspended high in the air, she called to the stage manager "Well, this is a nice posi tion in which to leave the mother of eight children!" Youngest and smallest, but by no means least, among her pets at Villa Tini is her "American boy," George Washington Schumann, who was born .in New York during her first Ameri can season. The great contralto tosses him up on her shoulders and rides him pickaback or seats herself in a children's wagon and allows George Washington and Maria Theresa to drag the wagon, while Ferdinand hove from behind. Mme. Schu-mann-Heink is domesticity itself. Mme. Sembrich spends about two months all told in her villa in the rarden district of Dresden. The rest of the time she and her husband, Profesor Stengel, who has known her since she was a child and has had charge of her musical career since she was very young, spend their holiday in mountain climbing, chiefly in Switz erland. Mme. Sembrlch does not take part in the Covent Garden season. "But, Wilhelm," exclaimed a Ger man manager last summer when Pro fessor Stengel declined all continental engagements for his wife, "has Mar cella become wholly American?" It would seem so. The Russians among whom she made her early rep utation and with whom she is as pop ular as she is here, have tried many times to induce her to return to St. Bronchitis Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the only medicine you need. We have been saying this for 60 years. If you want additional proof, ask your own family physician. We will abide by his de- .1.!.- J. C. iTtT CO.. ItaiUII. Low.ll.

Petersburg again, but llhelm is obdurate. Mme. Ncrdica is making a great exception this summer and intends to pass it in this country. She usually troes to a little village in the Black Forest, where she spends most of her time roaming over the mountains. Afterwards she visits St. Moritz. It is inspiring to see her, with al penstock in hand, like Brunnhilde's spear, standing on a high rock, and when, amid the grand environment of mountain and forest, she gives the weird, wild Walkure shout the effect simply is thrilling. THE CLARKES DIVORCED. The Wife Sued Her Actor Husband and Secured Decree. Six years ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Harry Corson Clarke first came to To peka, a bride and groom.the groom was the star in "What Happened to Jones," and now comes the startling news that Mrs. Clarke was granted a di vorce from her actor husband on ser ious grounds. The divorce shatters an other romance. News from New York says that Su preme Court Justice Gildersleeve sign ed the decree after a sensational suit, in which the most incriminating evi dence was offered by Miss Adelaide Deming, the twin sister of the plaintiff. It was to the effect that the handsome actor had been paying no end of atten tions to a pretty chambermaid of the Hotel St. Andrew, where the Clarke family made their home. The strange happenings were related at length by Miss Deming, who confessed to having taken upon herself the character of a sleuth, and although. Mr. Clarke enter ed a complete denial of the charges he made no effort to defend the suit. Ac cordingly the wife was freed, but-the matter of alimony upon wmcn sne laid much Btress has not yet been settled. The romantic career of the Clarkes has always been a topic of considerable interest. Clarke up until ten years ago was a struggling thespian with more talent than funds to develop it. When he struck San Francisco with the James NelU company he was playing one of his greatest roles, which, by the way, he later abandoned. He made an impression on the two lovely Dem ing girls, daughters of a wealthy and retired business man, and by the time he had played his season there he was in a fair way to win the affections of Miss Alice. A shorttime after the en gagement was announced and the mar riage followed. Then suddenly the for tunes of the young man changed. The two settled in Denver and were lavish ly entertained. Mrs. Clarke was by her culture and refinement a reigning belle wherever she went and society extend ed a welcome hand to her and her clever husband. In a short time Mr. Clarke owned his own company and was its star. Whenever the company came to Denver it was the signal for more entertaining, and now every one is wondering how that "dream of love" could ever have been shattered. Miss Adelaide Deming, the twin sis ter, is also known in Denver. She, too.is pretty and cultured, and the part she has played in the finale of the romance is a surprise to many friends. BOSTON COUBEITS NERVE. Slayer of .Tolin Wilkes Booth Visited Edwin Booth. The ingratitude of deadheads is a favorite theme of managers, and it is seldom that you get a group of them together that they will not "swap" yarns about the impossible man who accepted a pass and then came out and tried to thrash the management for providing an entertainment. One of the best stories of the deadhead was frequently told by the late Stuart Robson. Edwin Booth, Lawrence Barrett and the comedian were discussing dead heads one day on Mr. Robson's ver anda, at Cohasset. and Barrett and Robson were telling some of their most wonderful experiences, while Booth sat by and silently listened. Barrett finally was about to claim the prize for what he considered the best story, when Booth turned about and said, quietly: "I can tell you of an experience still more remarkable." "There was something so odd in his voice," said Robson, in relating the incident, "that both Barrett and my self looked at one another and ner vously wondered what was coming." "Not so very long ago," went on Booth in a tone which was in strange contrast with the laughing manner In which the conversation had be fore been carried on. "I was playing in Philadelphia. A note was brought back to me. It was a request for two seats, and the only reason that the man ascribed for expecting the pass was that he thought I might remem ber his name. The note was signed 'Boston Corbett." "Barrett looked at me and I looked at Barrett." said Mr. Robson, "and then we sat silent a statues, not dar ing to move for several moments. Finally Barrett summed up enough courage to get up and steal into the house and I quickly followed him, leaving Edwin Booth seated there with a far-away look in his eyes, thinking of the nerve of the man who killed John Wilkes Booth." The Impersonator. From Miriam Michelson's Novel of Stage Life, "In the Bishop's Car riage." The first one was bad. I gave them Duse's Francesco. You've never heard fa. on the Pacific Coast. She says, that in September is one of the greatest the wailing music in that woman's voice when she says: There is no escape, Smaragdl. You have said it: The shadow is a glass to me, and God Lets me be lost. I gave them Duse just to show them how swell I was myself; which shows what a ninny I was. The thing the world loves is the opposite of what it is. The pat-pat-pat of their gloves came to me when I got through. They were too polite to hiss. But it wasn't necessary. I was hissing my self. Inside of me there was a long, nasty hiss-ss-ss! I couldn't bear it.

His physi dsns are reported as saying that the terrible affair was due to mental de rangoinent caused by sleeplessness. Many suffer from this cause with out knowing how to obtain relief while their conditions daily grows more des perate. All such will read with interest how Mr. Thomas Hessian, of South Hampton, N. finally suc ceeded in ridding himself of an attack of insomnia which baffled the skill of his physician. Mr. Hessian is a farmer and is in the habit of retiring very early. It was in April, 1903, that he found he could no longer get the sleep that he needed to fit him for his day's duties. "I would turn from one side to an other in bed," says Mr. Hessian, "but I could not get over fifteen minutes' sleep before I was awake again, and when I got up in the morning I was more tired than when I went to bed at night. I consulted a physician, who said I had Insomnia. He prescribed for me but his medicine did me no good and I began to feel that I would have to give up work altogether. "While I was in this miserable state and utterly discouraged, I chanced to see an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and was so impressed by the evident truthful ness of the statements made that I made up my mind to give the rem edy a trial. "It was in June that I took my first dose or the pills. Jierore I had fin ished the first box I noticed a slight improvement in my condition, and as I continued to use the remedy the benefit became more marked until, when the fifth box was gone I could enjoy a sound, restful sleep and wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to take up my work with my old- time energy. My health has since remained excellent; I have a good ap petite, strength to do a hard dav's work and ability to sleep soundly and to wake up in buoyant spirits. Insomnia ultimately wrecks health completely and renders the victim un- ht tor any mental or physical work Its earliest manifestations should be regarded as a grave menace and should De cneckea at once.

Wilton Lackaye tells of a Chicago woman about to wed who was one day amusing herself by going over the mar riage service. To a friend who discov ered her, prayer book in hand, the Chicago girl said: "I always make it a point to do this, for no matter how well you may have known a part In the past it should al ways be rehearsed before the piece is revived." Then, rather playfully, she read the words, "Till death do us part.' Whereupon her friend interrupted: "How foolish that is, isn't it, dear? Sounds like one hasn't any confidence in the courts!" MUSICAL NOTES. Signer Giusseppe Campanlarl. whose artistic performances as a member of the Metropolitan Opera company have placed him in the front rank or bary tones of the day, will not be with the company next year. Beginning in Oc tober he will be heard in concert work with a company of his own, singing principally in the east, south and mid dle west. Felix Weingartner, whose artistic achievements are not confined to the baton alone, has just published a short biographical and critical study or tne Swiss poet. Carl Spitteie. This is not. however, the great conductor's first venture in the literary field. One of the many reforms promised by Heinrich Conreid when he assumed di rection of the Metropolitan grand opera enterprise, but which was found im practicable last year, is now assured for the forthcoming season. The Italian operas will be sung by Italians exclus ively, or nearly so. ana tnere is expect ed an increase of effectiveness that shall be well worth the additional trou ble and expense. The 11-year-old violinist Franz Von Vecsey has conquered London, as he had conquered the cities of Germany. Several extra concerts had to be given by him, and the critics are unanimous in his praise. The ease with which he overcomes difficulties is described as positively uncanny, and the elegance of his phrasing as incomprenensiDie in so young a player. One writer predicts that he "will be such a player as tne history of music knows not at present. For all the famous violinists have had their limitations, whereas Franz Von Vecsey is equally good in all schools or music. Paganini and Bach came alike to him; he excels In virtuoso music,' and yet has warmth and sentiment, as he showed once again in an arrangement of Schubert's 'Ave Maria,' played as an encore after the Tartinl sonata." Sir Arthur Sullivan left at the time of his death, some unpublished manu script songs, which were afterwards ac quired from his nephew by the firm of Novello. Two of them have been just published, and are entitled "Longing for Home" and "To One in Paradise." The last is a setting of Edward Allan Poe's well known poem, and will be heard at several London and provin cial concerts during next autumn. Victor Herbert has completed the score for his new opera. "The Enchant ed Isle," which Hamlin, Mitchell, and Fields will present early In the season at the Boston theater. A party of Mr. I Herbert's personal friends were prlvl- Jth a private no hearing of music to be in his lightest and most spariuing vein.

Three years ago, in recognition or his services at the Paris exposition. the conductor, received the "academic palms," which carried the title of "Of ficer d' Academic Francaise." Mr. Sousa has received notice of his pro motion to "Officer de l'lnstruction Pub lique" of France, in a letter from Paul Lasrombes, secretaire particular de ministre de l'lnstruction .publique et des beaux arts, now at St. Louis. The new distinction gives Mr. Sousa the golden palms and rosette of the French acad emy. He is the only American who has received this decoration. Mr. Sousa is also a member of the Royal Victorian Order of England, having been decora ted by King Edward -VII in 1901. THEATRICAL NOTES. Richard Mansfield has secured act ing rights to a new play, dramatized from Jack London's "The Sea woir and Mr. Mansfield will appear as Wolf Larsen, the skipper of the faweaish barque. Larsen is an odd combina tion of many qualities. His high in tellectualiry, coupled with almost ab solute bestiality, at times makes the transition from one side of his nature to another a strange mixture. Mrs. Henry Clay Barnabee has an original method of securing and pre serving the signatures of famous per sons. She has a beautiful tablecloth containing the signatures which she has embroidered of notable lignts in the political, musical, dramatic, lite rary and financial worlds. Among the names that are conspicuous are Calve, Schumann-Heink, Jean De Reszke, President McKinley, Secre tary Root, President Roosevelt, Gro- ver Cleveland, Edwin Booth, John McCuliough, William E. Gladstone, Eugene Field, and many others, all of whom Mrs. Barnabee has met. In the center of the cloth is an em broidered facsimile signature that Mrs. Barnabee prizes above all oth ers. It is that of Henry Clay Barna bee. A few weeks ago Arthur Bourchier, the London theatrical manager, re ceived a. little comedietta, unsigned, with the request that it be read care fully and if found lacking to be re- turned to a certain address. The author didn t expect it to be ac cepted and accordingly did not like to give his name on first presentation Much to his surprise, Mr. Bourchier found the playlet of real merit and accepted it. upon subsequent Inves tigation he found that its author was Alfred Austin, the poet laureate. Although Mrs. G. H.

All of the details have not yet been worked out. but the preparations practically nave been completed in a general way. The ceremonies will not be elabor ate or ostentatious. Indeed, they will be marked by simplicity. About 100 people, including the members of the national committee, will be present. Speaker Joseph Cannon, the chairman of the notification committee, will de liver to the president the committee's announcement. To this the president will respond at some length. As now arranged the president and Speaker Cannon will address the little assem blage from the veranda of the Saga more Hill home. The ceremonies will take place about 1 o'clock in the after noon. At the conclusion of his ad dress, the president will entertain those present at luncheon. After luncheon the members of the commit tee will return to the village in time to catch the afternoon trains for New York, as the accommodations of the village are not adequate for the crowd of 100 persons. Todav at Sagamore Hill was very quiet, no visitors having official busi ness with the president were received.

Ross, a busi ness man, both of this city, have had a thrilling adventure in Mexico, according to advices received today from Vera Cruz. The two men went to Mexico to buy timber lands and on a cruise in a canoe their boat capsized and they lost their provisions and extra clothing. They nar rowly escaped with their lives, and in at tempting to find their way out of a great forest lost their way and wandered S2 hours with scarcely any food. When they emerged from the jungle they found themselves 100 miles from the starting point. They were given food in a native village and made their way to Vera Cruz, where a chance meeting with friends enabled Wettling to be identi fied at a Mexican bank. This was fortunate for "Wettling, who was suspected of being an imposter, as he had not had a shave, in days and his clothing was out at elbows and knees as a result of the strenuous trip in the Jungle.

A. Brower than from any other doctor that has ever treated me. I can heartily recommend his treatment. T. A. HATFIELD. Resultant to an order issued by United States Judge Hook at Leaven worth Friday, the state of Kansas will now have an opportunity to show wha claim it has to the proceeds of the sale of the island in the river at Kansa City to which Judge Pollock recently gave G. H. Meriwether complete claim This is in the famous "land accretion case which has disturbed legal circles considerably of late. A resume of its history will clear the way to under standing Judpi Hook's ruling. Back In the seventies a small island in the Missouri river at Kansas City, en tirely cut off from the shore, was taken possession of by a family named Meri wether. Later on another family named Howe also homesteaded on the place. In the years following the Kansas and Missouri rivers, for the island lies at their junction, washed a great deal of soil against the banks and the accretion became so great that finally the island connected with the shore. A year ago the Chicago and North western railroad had the island con demned for right of way purposes and a sale was ordered. The proceeds net ted $22,000. The railway paid this sum to E. C. Caskey, treasurer of Wyan dotte county. Meriwetner at once laid claim to the money and instituted pro ceedings. The Howes applied for a re lief bill, virtually making themselves plaintiffs against Meriwether. Several weeks ago ex-Chief Jusutice Doster returned a spe cial report on the matter to Judge Pollock of the federal court' in Topeka, before whom the 'case was brought. With Doster's statement and further arguments by some of the best attorneys in Missouri and Kansas, Judge Pollock decided the case in Meriwether's favor and ordered Wyandotte county to pay him $22,000. Just before the de cision the state of Kansas through At torney General Coleman filed a claim bill demanding a share of the proceeds, be cause the island lay practically in this state. At the trial Mr. Coleman was not present and his complete hand was not shown. Now the Chicago and Great Western railroad takes up the cudgel. It ap plied to Judge Hook for a restraining order to prevent the payment of the money to Meriwether s heirs by Wyan dotte county until the state of Kansas made its views in the matter clear and showed fully all its reasons for claim. Judge Hook granted the request and the $22,000 lies safely ensconced in the government depository at Leaven worth awaiting further trial of the case, in which this state, will play a principal part. The reason why the Chicago and Great Western got into the game was to have its title to the land clear. It paid the money to Wyandotte county and is now in possession of the land but naturally it would like to have the status of the whole matter made plain for the benefit of its present own- ership. The change in the boundary lines or Kansas and Missouri makes the real issue in the claims of the state of Kan sas, as indicated by the brief written claim filed by the attorney general's office before Judge Pollock when the case was tried recently and Meriwether given the decision. Judge Pollock de nied the rights of the state in the mat ter but said little in regard to the mat ter when handing down the opinion on the whole subject. In the attempt to dissolve this injunction, to which the case will now naturally veer around, the state's claims will be fully aired and decided upon. The case will prob ably be tried at the October term of court. A peculiar and yet necessary thing about the case is that everyone who has ever been In any way connected with it, is made a plaintiff or defend ant in its present status.

The owner of the time piece had suspected the man had taken it and the officers were notified. They kept a lookout and Officer Hart laentinea the watch yesterday when Spendlove had it in his possession. He took the man, under arrest. Spend love claimed he had no watch with him but said he had one at home. At the same time he handed some money over to his employer. Newel, of the livery stable at 922 Kansas avenue, togeiner witn tne mucn wanted watch spendlove secured a fine of $25 for his attempted elopement of the watch He proved his failure both as a Dettv inier ana an autnor of plausible stories meant to deceive the police judge of his possession of another's property. The claim set up was that he purchased it. Friday afternoon was a hot one for the ordinanry citizen as well as those who engage in slaking the thirst of those who have a cultivated palate for beer. George L. Klauer, 526 Kan- avenue, William Lawless. 519 Quincy street and John Miller of the McKinley club on East Seventh were the recipients of the unwelcome atten tions of Stahl and his blue coated ad herents. Klauer and Lawless each lost a case of Rochester and Schlitz respectively to the northwest corner of Fifth and Jackson streets, while the McKinley club found that the nom de plume under whicn they operate was not sufficient to protect them from arrest. Two kegs of beer, two pumps and a pine bar made the entry in this last case. One of the 'most disgraceful cases to come before. the police judge was that in which Ray Miller, an 18-year-old youth .was the guilty party. Miller is old enough to be aware of the extent of the crime in which he is' involved. Miller approached the small daughter of William Hebb, a grocer living at the corner of Fourth and Clay, and made indecent pro- nosala to her. The child, who Was riding on her wheel, became alarmed and told her parents of what Miller had done. His arrest immediately took alace and he was tried this morning, receiving a fine of $50 and costs. The young man had no excuse to offer for his act. The fact that the young man has been guilty of similar actions in the past makes his last act appear the more serious. The parents of the boy are eminently respectaDie and -the boy is of bright appearance. He has been employed at the Santa Fe offices, but is now a machinists apprentice. Judge Mammon aesirea that the penalty of the boy's act might be suffered by him immediately and not upon his parents. A man bv the name of Edmonds bound for Kansas City applied at the police station Friday night for -transportation to that place. Edmonds was a cocaine fiend of the most pronounced type. He was quivering like a person suffering from the St. Vitus dance and would take recourse to the drug every few minutes. Chas. Humbert of varied fame and rep utation was arrested late Friday after noon for disturbing the peace at 211 East Fourth street where he resides. Humbert was drunk. So much so that he had to be propelled with the aid of two policemen. The occupants of the rooms nearbv to 211 East Fourth were kept at a seltzer like condition by the racket and threats which Humbert was making. Efforts of Canada to Attract American Settlers Is Resented. Washington, July 16. It ia probable that the intention of the British gov ernment will be directed to a move ment conducted officially by the Canad ian government to induce immigration from the United States to the North west territory. There can be no ob jection to such offers on the part of private immigration agencies, but when as in this case the government itself seeks to attract citizens of other coun tries the matter is one which calls forth official remonstrance. It appears that the Dominion department, through one of its assistant secretaries, has been sending broadcast throughout the northwestern states circular letters, Drincinally addressed to clergymen, professional men and persons of in fluence describing in glowing terms the sdendid resources of the Canadian northwest and inviting immi grants by the offer of 160 acres of land for each, free schools and sound laws. Attention is especially invited to the excellent church facilities. NINE TIMES IN PRISON. Convict Bess Court to Send Him to the Penitentiary. New Tork, July 18. With a record of nine convictions and as many terms in prison. George W. Johnson has appeal ed to Police Magistrate Ommen for refuge in the penitentiary because he is unable to earn an honest living and must either steal or starve. The mag istrate granted Johnson's plea with the proviso that he would send him to tne penitentiary in order to keep him from temptation and in the meantime would try to- find some work for the ex-convict where he would not be reminded of his past. Johnson is 53 years old and well edu cated. In a long address to the court he attributed his downfall to gambling, After running through a fortune left by his father, he stole to secure the neces saries of life and was sent to prison for five years. There he learned the trade of shoemaker, but soon found he was a marked man among fellow craftsmen and could not retain a position. He was driven again to steal and went through the same experience nine times, jonn son declared his experience, which he told in detail, to be a common one among ex-convicts, and said that, de spite his repeated failures ne was ae termined to live an honest life in fu ture. GORMAN'S LETTER. First Word from Maryland Senator Since the Convention. Joe McCord. .a. colored boy for being fourteen years old has well developed and widely differing tastes. He did the Baltimore, July 16. Senator Gorman, who has refused to see all interviewers or newspaper men since the organiza tion of the St. Louis convention, sent today the following letter to members of the Maryland delegation at St.J-.ouis: "Dear Sir: As I was deprived of the pleasure of accompanying you to St. Louis I wish now to thank you for the part you took as a delegate from his state in the convention. The course of the Maryland delegation at St. Louis could not, I think, have been excelled and they undoubtedly exercised great influence in bringing about the result. "The final action of Judge Parker in sending his telegram giving his views as to the monetary question and the response of the convention to this tele gram have placed the Democratic party in a position, where, with the ticket nominated and the platform adopted they should be successful in the coming election. "Again thanking you for your person al kindness to me I am yours very truly, A. P. GORMAN." First "Jim Crow" Conviction. Baltimore, July 16. The first conviction in Maryland under the "Jim Crow" Car law, passed by the last legislature, was secured today in criminal court, when Judge Wright found James Davis, col ored, guilty of violating the law and find him $25. Davis was arrested aboard the steamer Rock Creek July 2 while she was lying at the Baltimore wharf, on a charge of refusing to occupy the colored apart ments on the steamer. In imposing the fine Judge Wright said: "It must be un derstood that this law must be explicitly obeyed. A law similar to it has been de clared constitutional by the highest court in the land, and citizens must remembor that infractions of it will be punished." "A Message of Hope to the Sick" watch for it in next Saturday's Journal. HE CAN'T FIND IT. AM Ob-serve the Chief Saint. What is He Doing? HE is Hunt-ing for To-pe- kas Bat-ting Streak.

INTERESTING LOCAL NEWS EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK AS DEPICTED BY THE BTJUTJAT. This was the hottest and most uncom fortable Sunday of the ye&r. Wevt Is in Better Shape Says Jlr. Coburn. The condition of the growing corn in Kansas July 9-11 as stated by growers in the various counties to the state board of agriculture is reported by the secretary of the board today. He says that "analyzed it confirms a general belief that the extraordi narily cold, backward spring, in most of the state, accompanied by too fre quent and heavy rains, interfered seri ously in much corn territory with plowing, planting and germination. Failure of seed to grow under such conditions prompted replantlngs, not infrequently more than one. and the result is a ragged, uneven. lmrerw- stand made up of differing sizes and stages of growth. Following this the almost incessant rains within the weess wnen cultivation would under normal conditions have been Bushed to its utmost made such work impos sible even on the higher lands, while the lowlands from which tho lat-m.- yields are generally expected were for uajs ax amerent times converted into lakes of muddy, smothering water or became the "raceway for sftitrrv flnnria which knew no control. "In spite, however, of the dis couragements such early season ex periences suggest there is still a large acreage of corn in Kansas and to no inconsiderable part of it a greater or less yield is yet possible, but in the aggregate far below what Kansas can and does produce in a propitious season. "The report in detail shows that numerous counties return a high aver age of condition, but in the main, these are not counties which in nor-; mal years produce the corps amount ing to millions of bushels annually ana swell me Kansas ngures of yield to proportions that make them of world wide interest. "Weather conditions of the past few days are greatly improved and there is consequently a much britrhtened outlook." The showing by counties is as fol lows: Allen Corn in river bottoms drowned out; with 12 to 16 inches of rain in past month prospect even on upland is discouraging. Anderson Conditions precarious. Many fields abandoned because of wet weather and weeds. Fifty per cent would be a high estimate of a possi ble crop. Atchison According to my recol lection of 40 years' prospects for corn in this county were never- worse at similar date. With future conditions favorable a half crop is not impossible. Not so good as a month ago; corn in lowlands drowned out and many other field3 hopelessly weedy; prospect un usually discouraging. Barber Never had better outlook; growing fast and tasseling.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1904. m KATE CLYDE Writes From Seabright of the Out-of-Doors Man We Are Becoming So English Don't-Cher-Know A Small Grist of Fashion Talk W U ERE or In any other place give paMfJ me the out-of-doors man, the jl II man who is fond of automo biles, yachts "and sich." He isn't always the richest man, although, of course, automobiles and yachts cost money, but he is the man who knows how to live and how to spend his money. There are plenty of rich men who stick in New York all summer and whose one idea of happiness consists in going nightly to an expensive restaurant and there stuffing themselves I am sorry, to use an inele--gant word, but I can't help it and there stuff ing themselves until their coun tenances take on the hue of the eggplant. By day these gas tronomic heroes lounge in the deepest chairs The hnwedin the deep- ot tner clubs tJckair except when they venture forth on a delicate amble down the av enue or, better still, a gentle trot from one clubhouse to the other in a han som: an automobile is too rapid for them. When old age comes to them which it actually does sometimes just to prove that the day of miracles is not past it finds them puffy under the eyelids, wheezy of breath and so gouty that life is one long misery of remorse. Happily, such men are growing rarer, and they mostly belong to the older generation. Foreigners, and especially Englishmen, used' to be able to say, with some degree of truth, that Ameri cana did not know how to live that we hated fresh air, that we ate poor food and that we only lived to make money. Nowadays we are as nearly English as we can be, and by English" I mean that we are acquiring the best traits of the English, their fine athletic physique, their love of country homes and out of door sport. The up to date young man thinks of something besides money making, although he thinks of that too. He has his yacht, his automo bile or his stable of horses; he is a good wrestler, a good sailor, a good all round athlete: he has his home in the country and his house in town which he occupies the lesser part of the time, and his athletic tastes, so far from in II1 i FAMOUS WOMEN IN MASCULINE ATTIRE A RUSSIAN lady of high social standing, Mme. Pousep, peti tioned the czar to be permit ted to enlist regularly and serve at the seat of war in a Cossack regiment, to carry arms and in all re spects fight like a man. It is rather odd that in a country where women are oppressed more than in any other civ ilized land the lady's request was granted, and Mme. Pousep. in regula tion uniform, was enrolled to serve in a rifle regiment. She is the daughter of a. Russian army colonel, a magnificent rider and a crack shot with both rifle and revolver. She is also noted for skill In sword practice and has frequently taken part in cavalry maneuvers. The late Czar Alexander III. was very fond of her when she was a little girl, and with his approval she learned to shoot and fence and became familiar with cavalry drill. Mme. Pousep says she wants to show that a woman can fight, and Nicholas IL has given her oppor tunity. Living in Brooklyn today is a fair, slight woman, artistically feminine and most refined in all her tastes and habits, who for years wore the skirt Tess garb while exploring in Central Amer ica and Mexico. She is Mme. Alice -D. Le Plongeon, who, accompanying her' husband. Dr. Augustus Le Plongeon, made remarkable dis coveries among the prehistoric ruins of Central America. One of these discoveries was the identical or igin of the characters used in inscrip tions on the Central American ruins with the Egyptian hieroglyphs. It is to be noted that various women known to have habitually worn the at tire custom and fashion accord to men have been among the brainiest and most distinguished of their sex. It is to be noted also that most of them have been Frenchwomen. Here, too, appears an anomaly: When the English tailor costume for women first made Its ap pearance the French condemned it vo ciferously because they thought it mannish. Anything mannish in femi nine dress the French abominate. At the same time when it comes to a wo man's wearing out and out trousers and masculine dress complete they will give a woman legal license for It and say not a word against it if she can show reason for why she should have such permission. It seems not to be the wo- -V I Uma. Dieuiafop. terfering with his business, help him by keeping his brain bright and clear. The American Girl. The same is true of the American girl. She is brainy, but at the same time well cultivated physically. The round shouldered female grind is be coming as scarce as the bespectacled schoolmarm. The college girl and the schoolmarm both are chic and graceful and healthy. Instead of devoting her time after school hours to poring over books the up to date girl has her bas ket ball or her swimming or her fenc ing or, better still, her ride in the park. And if she is a poor girl and can't af ford the last she still has golf in the summer and skating in the winter to bring the flush of health to her cheek. I heard the other day of a woman who is making quite a comfortable liv ing as a beauty expert. "Nothing ex traordinary in that," you will say. No, of course not; any number of women make their living that way. But this one is a beauty expert for children. She goes on the principle that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and that, by the way, is a pretty good rule to live up to. She has a large clientele and visits each house regularly. Sensible mothers who realize what little defects unreme died in childhood mean in later years value her services greatly. For in stance, she enters the house of the Browns and inspects the Brown chil dren. "Dorothy is going to have the home liest ears!" complains the mother. "They stand right out from her head. I am sure I can't imagine what is the matter." Questioning and inspection bring out the fact that Dorothy's nurse has been Teaching the baby. tying the heavy silk strings of her hood back of the child's delicate ears all winter- long, and this is the result of her carelessness.

They drive, they ride horseback, they gallop across country after hounds. A number of them ride astride in divided skirts. Cross saddle riding is now so common among New York women as no longer to excite comment. Within the past two years a number of fashionable ladies there have established a woman's four-in-hand driving club. Each day during the season the ladies four-in-hand coach, driven by a woman and loaded with gayly dressed fashionables, leaves a stated place on Fifth avenue for a trip out of the city and return.

Thereupon she simply got the cheap trousers, hat and blouse of a poor artist and went about the streets of Paris day and night and. year after year without her sex being suspected. Her hair was cut short, and there were no fancy touches m her trousered cos tume. Her secret was known only to a few intimate friends, and thus she gathered material and atmosphere for some of the most powerful romances that have ever been penned. There, too, was Rosa Bonheur, the greatest animal painter of her time, perhaps of modern times. She, too, was hampered beyond all endurance by the ordinary garments of her sex. She pe titioned the French government to let her wear the dress of a man, and leave was graciously and gladly granted, for Rosa Bonheur was appreciated In her own land. In the country, in the re gion adjoining her estate, she wore the dress of a peasant farmer; in Paris 1 I Baby how to clean her dainty little complexion every night before retiring.

In many cases she prescribes the food for each child, being guided by her own experience of the needs of certain con stitutions and the child's general ap pearance. She shampoos and massages the child's hair and teaches it how to brush and care for its own little teeth. Altogether, in nine cases out of ten, she makes out of what would probably be a homely little one an attractive if not pretty child.

The pale little wo man came to be very well known wher ever she appeared. On the newspaper La Fronde, pub lished by Frenchwomen, one of the re porters obtained permission to wear the regulation man's dress. She noted for her paper the. proceedings of the French senate and chamber of depu ties. One who does this in France is called a parliamentary reporter, and no woman was allowed to enter the re porters' gallery. With the facile adap tability of the French mind, it was de cided that a woman in man's dress might go into it, and thus the difficulty was got over. In France there is more in dress than in a name, it appears. Today the literary and musical social circles of Paris are graced by the pres ence of a fair and delicate -woman in masculine attire. She is said to look "too' cute for anything" in the full dress coat and low cut waistcoat which she dons on evening ceremonial occa sions. This lady is the eminent Mme. Jane Paule Rachel Mayre Dieulafoy, the archaeologist. Except Mme. Curie, Mme. Dieulafoy is today France's most illustrious woman of science. In 18S1 the lady's husband, Professor Marcel Dieulafoy, went to Persia to make explorations for the French gov ernment. His wife went with him. In terested in archaeology before, she now became so enthusiastic that she shared all her husband's days of digging, watching, searching, finding and mak ing notes. She could not do this in wo man's dress,, so she abandoned it for masculine attire. Five years short haired and trousered she lived and worked, then experienced an uncon querable repugnance at returning to "the slavery of woman's dress." On her formal petition, therefore, France gave her the right to wear trousers. Mme. Dieulafoy ha3 worn her trou sers from Occident to orient and back till she has traced the origin of pres ent day oriental art to ancient Babylon. That is one of the most important of her discoveries. She has been allowed to study and even to photograph a number of rare pictures and art objects in the cathedrals of Spain, treasures which before her time had been per sistently kept from the public. Among her various writings is a brilliant de scription of the palace of Artaxerxes II., which she and her husband un earthed at Susa, in Persia. Mme. Dieulafoy and her husband are models of concentration and persist ence in a pursuit. Talk of a woman being scatter brained! Professor and Mme. Dieulafoy write and study in the same room, their library. At 6 o'clock In the morning as regular as the clock. In truth winter and summer, this happy, congenially mated pair be gin their writing. They have a cup of chocolate previous to this; nothing more. Each has a desk in the library. There, in utter silence, without either speaking, they sit and write and study till 11. Here is at least one woman who can keep her mouth shut. They have found that no time is so favorable for mental work as the early morning, and during that five hours of most in tense intellectual labor and concentra tion not even a telegram is allowed to be brought them. "Undisturbed thought is the one guarantee of good literary work," says Mme. Dieulafoy At 11 o'clock the two scientists, wed ded to each others and to their work, breakfast, read their mail leisurely and ferent ways women have of earning their living I might as well mention the scheme of a girl I know who has start ed a bureau of information for stran gers about to visit New York..- Many women would be glad to come to New York for a week or so if they -only knew some one who would act as a friend, directing them to the best shops for the things they might wish to pur chase, telling them about the different plays at the theaters, showing them all the places of interest, even procuring for them invitations to women's clubs, receptions, studio affairs and musicales. My acquaintance also undertakes out of town shopping. I don't see for the life of me why more women don't do this sort of thing for their out of town correspondents. Another position, but more in the na ture of a salaried one, is that held by a young woman as summer resort in spector of a big railroad. She visits all the re-, sorts listed on their catalogue, makes note of the changes and how the board ing houses and hotels are run. Incidentally she has a very good time, as they treat her at each, place like a queen because they want her to report favor ably. This imply ShOKig the place, of in shows you that terstm there are more ways than one in which a bright wo man can make a living, and the more original the way the better. Summer Modes. To change to the ever interesting subject of clothes, I can't help thinking from the specimens I see on athletic girls that the plaited linen skirt is not all it should be. It gets so mussy! The plaits crumple this way and that, es pecially after a couple of hours' crouch ing on the deck of a sailboat, so that the wearer looks anything but neat. I am afraid the elaborately plaited skirt is only for prim city wear and not for anything rougher than a ride in one's cart or automobile. It may do you some good, however, to know that there is a right and a wrong way of plaiting a skirt. The right way consists of hav ing the plaits turn toward the back, never toward the front. If they are turned toward the back they will come together nicely; if in the opposite di rection there will be a space to be ac counted for filled with wrinkles and crumplings, or else two box plaits which will forever hang out of line, as they are cut on the bias. With the ecru and white linen skirts all the up to date girls are wearing white or champagne colored shoes, and, indeed, nothing so spoils a costume of snowy white as a pair of heavy black shoes. The shoes are made very low, lacing only one or two holes, and they have medium heavy soles and military or French heels, according to tastes. B1J COSTUME OF TUSSORE SILK. The gown Illustrated is of tussore silk in a pretty shade of navy blue. The skirt-is gathered around the waist and tucked at the knees above a deep tucked flounce. A plaited bolero falls from a yoke edged with an ecru insertion, which lace also trims the loose upper part of the sleeves. The undersleeve puff is of the silk gathered into a cuff of lace. converse, then to writing and stwdy again till 3 or 4 o'clock, after which the lady in trousers and her husband are free for the day. They work much in collaboration. So the ideally mated pair labor year in and year out. MARILLA WEAVER. BORN "DOWDIES." Women frequently do not do justice to pretty gowns because they have not learned how to put on their things smartly or even neatly. A smart woman may have all her gowns made at home, and yet she is never a dowdy. And why? Because she knows how to put them on. Her hair is well done, her neck smartly swathed and her veils, gloves, shoes and boots are always fresh and perfect of their kind. Dowdies are born, not made. An undue humility has much to answer for. The topical "woman of no importance" soon goes to pieces on the rock of dowdyism. A few gowns, but many accessories, are an antidote to this dread disease. To be up to date this summer one must wear either a loose coat and skirt costume or else a shirt waist dress which matches completely. A shirt waist of one material and a skirt of another is anything but smart, no mat ter how elaborate each piece may be. I. am glad to see this summer that many of the prettiest and most chic girls are going bareheaded. The hair is done low and ornamented merely with a bow of ribbon to match the gown. They are wearing this thrust through the heavy coil at the back close to the neck, and the two ends can be seen from the front. Another little thing to be noted the fine kid belts have entirely superseded those of satin and ribbon. These belts are always made to match the costume. V Seabright, N. J. FOR CAMPING OUT. If the camp is a permanent affair have the floor of at least one tent boarded. Rain is no respecter of camp ers, and unless you are a small boy you won't enjoy sitting with your feet in puddles. Get good heavy duck or drilling for the tents and do not omit the flies. They not only afford protection against the rain, but by absording some of the sun's heat they keep the tent proper cooler. .They are especially necessary if the tent is pitched in the open. Pneumatic mattresses, hair-mattresses covered with waterproof duck and cots made of waterproof canvas may sound more prosaic than a bed of fra grant pine boughs, but they will be found more comfortable. Tent stoves are to be had that come Jointed with an eye to their packing. An asbestus stovepipe collar relieves all worry as to the tent catching fire. Do not forget enough lanterns to go round. Candles are of little service in the drafty out of door life of camping. A SACRED PICTURE. The dowager empress of China has, so it is reported, commanded the at tendance of a Japanese photographer at the palace to take her portrait. The reason for her majesty's decision to be photographed is that the people may be able to worship the imperial' image, as in Japan. Having her photograph tak en is a new experience to the empress and is a proof -of her progressive ideas, for in days past any attempt to depict her would have been considered an act of sacrilege. GEMS AND THEIR SETTING. It is quite a liberal education nowa days to pay a visit to a noted jeweler's, so lovely are the jewels and so delicate their setting. There has lately been a wonderful sapphire on view which seems to bear in its depth all the blue of sky and sea at their deepest. The diamonds which flash around the sap phire accentuate its hue, which is as blue by night as by day. A reversible tie pin Is another innovation, set with diamonds one side. TONIC EFFECT OF A DIP IN THE SEA SURF. IT is a pity that only comparatively few of the inhabitants of this coun try live where they can take baths in the open sea a few weeks every sum mer. Even half a dozen surf baths will begin to build up depleted nervous and digestive systems. For girls and wo men of moderate means it will really pay in renewed health and Joy to skimp somewhat the rest of the year in order to get two or three weeks by the sea Fortunately it is possible by means of watching the newspapers', advertising columns to secure accommodations within reach of almost every woman. The first surf bathing experience of a woman living inland is something to be remembered. When she makes her appearance in the bathing suit, with Its very 'short, skimp skirt and long black stockings, she feels as if all the world had only one eye and that was fixed on her. She goes shyly down upon the f A PARISIAN MANTEAU. The polo grounds in the Bois de Bou logne is a fine place to study the really charming fashions worn by the smart est of the smart. The lovely manteaa illustrated was quite the most stunning wrap to be seen there a few weeks ago. It is almost a costume in itself and is created from Irish point lace mount ed over heliotrope Bilk. WORKINGMEN'S WIVES. A writer in an English magazine says that it is a sheer impossibility for a workingman's wife to leave home, no matter how sorely she may need th rest and change. When the same per son Is nurse, cook, laundress, charwo man and needlewoman to an entire household her absence means chaos. By thirty-five many of these women are well on toward old age, broken in health .and unattractive, with the graces of life destroyed and losing in fluence over husband and sons. The rest of the family takes it all as a mat ter of course, and, while the majority of men are not consciously unkind, the women feel their neglect and suffer much from social loneliness. INTERESTING POSSESSIONS. China collecting is one of Mrs. Brown Potter's hobbies, and she possesses at Bray Lodge, her home near Maiden head, England, some valuable speci mens of old Chelsea and Battersea ware. Although she seems to favor English china most, there are priceless bits of Satsuma and other porcelains. The bed in Mrs. Brown-Potter's room is the one in which the celebrated beauty Diane de Poitiers used to sleep, while the writing table In the adjoining room once belonged to Marie Antoi nette. 1 1 i..i..fi"i"r-i-i-i"i--r--f -r--r r-i-r"t"i---i"r-r -i- sand and steps into the water deep enough to get her toes wet. She gives a little screech. It's cold, she thinks. She also still thinks everybody is look ing at her, which is a mistake. They are thinking of themselves and their own affairs.' She is only one pebble on the beach, and a rather small one at that probably. She wades in ankle deep. A splash from a breaker touches her; its reced ing flow sweeps past her feet. She has lead in novels about a "fearful under tow," and she feels panicky. Neverthe less she sees other girls skipping into the water as gayly as If they were Jumping rope on dry land, and she takes courage and goes on. Ail the ocean is moving) it seems as if the floor of the world were quivering, end it makes her dizzy; but, again, other girls don't seem to mind that a bit, and they are not dizzy. Just then a breaker strikes her. It Is only a spent breaker, but It staggers her. She thinks she is going to be knocked off her feet and drowned. She screams; but, again, nobody else is knocked over, nobody else is drowned, nd they all seem to think being struck by a breaker is great fun. Ugh! That's Just the very coldest water she ever felt upon her skin. She shivers. She notices now that a rope is stretched out into the water at s convenient height for her to grasp. Here comes another breaker. "Hold fast to the rope and Jump up when the wave strikes you," calls a friendly voice. She does so and finds that with a little skip upward so her feet will not be upon the ground at the moment the powerful wave comes :t sweeps under, around and past her, swaying her body gently as it goes, but not knocking her over. Ah, she has learned something! Another breaker and another! They begin to be exhilarating. She likes to feel them swirl about her body and sway it. Suddenly she finds that the water which was so icy cold has be come delightful, just mildly cooling and so refreshing! Now she looks out sea ward. She sees that beyond the shore waves that are striking her and break ing in foam over her is a vast space where the water is calm and untrou bled. Out in the smooth space women who have gone beyond the rollers that burst upon the beach are swimming quietly, even floating calmly upon their backs, their arms in the water around their heads, their hands clasping the back of their heads. Out beyond the breakers thnre Is peace. Eut the friendly voice tells her It Is not wise to stay In the water more than twenty minutes for a first surf dip. Out she comes. When presently she emerges from the shanty box in which she puts off her bathing suit and puts on her or dinary clothing she is cooled off for the day. Her blood tingles through her veins like a mild charge of electricity. She took a load of weariness and de spondency Into the surf. That glorious surf has washed it all away, every trace. 'She feels buoyant as a bird, light hearted and happy. Whatever ail ment she had malaria, nerves or the dumps it is all gone. She is a new woman. And appetite! Well, she feels as If she can eat the world up, although be fore she came down to the sea she may have lost all relish for food. MARY GOULD LYTXE, 0

R. Thomas and His Stable Why Pitch ers Become Outfielders Then, again, during morning practice when a group of men are catching flies the pitchers generally Join them and reap the benefit of the instruction giv en the other players. Valuable In the Field. Pitchers always make valuable field ers because of their throwing ability. It stands to reason that a man that has served four or five years at the slab is able to outthrow the man that has played in other positions. When a batsman drives a hit into the outfield he is often kept from reaching second base by a good throw from the man into whose territory the ball went. Seymour can throw accurately to ei ther home plate or third base from deep center field, an accomplishment that few men can rightfully boast of. Taken all in all. the erratic Seymour, once the butt of a myriad of Jokers because of the ease with which he became "rat tled," is one of the best fielders in the country. He couldn't earn half his sal ary as a pitcher simply because he lost his nerve whenever he got into a tight corner. The New Tork Nationals tried in a dozen different ways to help him to "stay on earth," but as Cy preferred the aerial route he was dropped from the Giants' payroll. Cy is a deerlike runner. Many is the seeming home run he has brought down in the Cincinna tis' middle garden. He is hitting the leather, too, and Joe KeHey pats him self on the back every time he thinks of the all round excellence of the big center fielder's work. By the way, Joe Kelley was once a pitcher, and a very fair one. "But that is another story," says Joe. The Pittsburg Champions. The Pittsburg Pirates are slowly but surely getting within striking distance of the leaders. As every one expected, their early slump is being wiped off the slate, and with his pitching staff in good shape President Dreyfuss need not lose any sleep. The Pirates are the strongest finish ers in the National league. They come on with a rush, a dash and a splash and give everybody a tough tussle in the home stretch. Last year Fred Clarke's trusty braves fell asleep at the switch at the opening of the season, but midsummer found them rubbing elbows with the leaders. At the beginning of the last month of the campaign they had a sure hold on the pennant halyards. However, this t Career of the New Yo r k Wonder: To Meet Brewer, Pa cific Coast Star:::: K R.

Brewer realizes that he has bis work "cut out" for him and is preparing for the races with unusual care. It is the opinion of the majority of judges of swimming that Daniels will defeat Brewer in most of the events in which they meet. In the long races Daniels will be at a disadvantage, as he has shown his best form In con tests of less than a quarter of a mile in length. However, he is young, strong, ambitious and commands a well devel oped trudgeon stroke, and with the proper sort of preliminary work should succeed in showing well in half mile and five mile events. Meffert Believed In Daniels. The New Yorker first showed Indica tions of championship ability a year ago and since that time has been im proving steadily. Alec Meffert, former swimming and water polo coach at the Knickerbocker Athletic club of New York (since disbanded), thought the lad had unusual ability and gave him much valuable advice. Later he be came a member of the New York Ath letic club, where he was associated with such prominent swimming cracks as Louis de B. Handley. captain of the water polo team; Van Cleaf, Jack Rud dy, "Bud" Goodwin, .Fred Wenck and Dave Bratton. Through Bratton it was, and due to Meffert's suggestion, that Daniels joined the New York A. C. A Hundred In 1:07. "Danny" made meteoric progress in the athletic club tank. Early In the winter he swam a hundred yards in 1:08, surely an unusual accomplish ment for an unknown. This feat called forth much comment, which was re doubled when a week later he covered the same distance in 1:07. Early in the year Daniels made his first record breaking swim. In the tank of the N. T. A. C. he went 250 yards in the astonishing time of 3:15 2-5. Peo ple now began to "sit up and take no tice." Spectators thoroughly familiar with swimmers and swimming con fessed that they had never seen such a performance by so young a lad. "Danny" Is but seventeen years old. The Climax. But the climax was still to come. In the middle of February Daniels shat tered every indoor swimming record from 150 to 300 yards. Two weeks lat er at the duel meet of the Brookline (Mass.)

Buckmaster, who in the illustration is mounted on Rufus, a valuable pony, and G. C. Miller, riding Nip Cat, another noted English pony, and the Nickalls brothers make up one of the strongest teams that ever played the great game. v season the complexion of the National race is different. New York, Chicago and Cincinnati already have a thumb and a couple of fingers in the pie. If New York's pitchers last the team should win the pennant, with Cincin nati second and Chicago and Pittsburg fighting for third place. Cincinnati has a shade the better of her rivals so far as pitchers are concerned, but the Reds' batting is not equal to that of New York. New York Nationals' Pitchers. If "Dummy" Taylor was not such an in-and-outer the New Yorks could safely put up a new pole to carry the pennant. Their two best pitchers, Mc Ginnity and Mathewson, good as they are, cannot be expected to carry the team on their shoulders. Wiltse, Mc Graw's latest acquisition, may develop into a star twirler. The American League. In the American league Jimmy Col lins' three ring Boston aggregation are "all to the lilacs." Jimmy has a stran gle hold on the pennant that three dozen Terrible Turks could not break. His team Is working like well oiled ma chinery, and the ticket office has had to have a counting machine installed in order to keep track of the mazunia. The Chicago Americans. Chicago and New York will give Bos ton a "rub" if any teams do. Comis key's White Stockings have in store a few tricks that they may cut loose at any moment.

His latest achievement, however, was at the Brookline Swimming club meet in March, when he established new fig ures for the quarter, going the distance in 6:05. The lad is Improving daily, and the coaches anticipate his enlarging his onslaught on the records as he grows older and stronger. Daniels Is Versatile. Daniels" athletic ability is not con fined to swimming by any means. He has many handsome trophies won in running. Jumping, shot putting and rifle shooting, and he is proficient ir. several other branches of .sport. In swimming he uses a long, easy trudgeon stroke which seems to be nc exertion whatever to him, and experts believe he is even now capable of low ering every record from 200 yards up. though they consider the 220 and 440 yards his best distances. PLAYERS WHO ARE TO G. C. MILLER. P. W. NICKALLS. ties have been transferred to another. A captain-manager-player must have an iron constitution and a wonderful knowledge of the game to hold down his three cornered position with eclat. Very few men have done it successful ly. George Davis, formerly with New York, tackled the job and failed, and he is but one of a dozen-, Patsy Donovan is another. Probably the best captafn-manager-player is Jimmy Collins. Clark Griffith of the New York Americans is "making good," as also is "Mugsy" McGraw of the New York Nationals, who plays once in awhile, and Napoleon Lajoie of the Cleveland Americans. These four men are exceptionally able and would succeed in any line of endeavor, wheth er it happened to be sport or business. E. R. Thomas and His Stable. E. R. Thomas, owner of fleet Her mis, winner of the Suburban handicap at Sheepshead Bay, New York, now has one of America's strongest thor oughbred stables. A young man, with almost limitless wealth inherited from his father, Mr. Thomas appears to have made it his ambition to "corner" the thoroughbred market. Certain it is that his operations have been conduct ed on a large scale, and the end is not yet. In his stable at present are Advance Guard, the game old campaigner; Andy Williams, Buttons, the swift brown colt, four years old, by Tenny; Dimple, Duke of Kendal, St. Valentine, Shafer, Palmbearer, Onatas, Hunter Raine, Stalwart, Voloday, Young Henry, Zo roaster and the splendid Hermis. Mr. Thomas is reputed to have made the largest bet on a single horse race 8lfS8t; Ti: Daniels stands six feet and weighs about 150 pounds. Daniels' Stroke. The coming champion has been much amused by people who after watching him swim in a race say: "Why don't you work harder? You don't 'let your self out' at all." "The truth of the matter," says Dan iels, "is that I swim just as fast as I can, but my stroke does not seem to give that impression. "I guess my stroke is of the sort that looks easy and as though I were not doing my best, but I never take any chances on losing a race. I believe in working to the limit of endurance from start to finish. It is only by so doing that a man can develop his speeding ability." Popular and Unassuming. Daniels is one of the most popular swimmers that ever donned a racing suit. He is a clean limbed, freckle faced young athlete with a .smile that wins friends wherever he goes. He never boasts of bis ewn ability and is VISIT AMERICA NEXT FALL W. S. BUCKMASTER. that has ever been laid in this country. One day last season at Saratoga Mr. Thomas was given a tip by an intimate friend. "Play my bay colt in the third race today," whispered the informant, "and you will not fail to 'cash in.' Mr. Thomas thought well of the advice, and a few minutes later (he is a man of ac tion) his betting commissioners were going "down the line" playing the horse "across jhe board" with every book maker for as much money as the layers would accept. When the call to the post sounded Mr. Thomas stood to lose $125,000. The horse he backed, how ever, won handily, clearing a fortune for Mr. Thomas in less than two min utes. The Marathon Race at St. Louis. What promises to be one of the most interesting features of the St. Louis world's fair from Aug. 29 to Sept. 3 is the Marathon race of forty kilometers. This race has never been won by an American. At Athens in 1896 it was won by a Greek, and at Paris in 1900 a Frenchman won it. As an incentive to American distance runners Hon. David R. Francis, presi dent of the exposition company, will offer as a special prize to the winner a handsome silver cup valued at $250. In every world's championship event an Olympic gold medal will be given to the winner, a silver medal to second and a bronze medal to third, and every athlete who competes in the Olympic games or the handicap games the week of Aug. 29 will be presented with a suitable Olympic souvenir medal. There will be many special prizes in the Olympic events besides the gold, silver and bronze medals. Frederick always ready to acknowledge that oth er swimmers have a chance to defeat him, -whether they have or not. A Contrast. Many athletes there are who believe that only the liighest priced equipment in the market is good enough to cover their precious bodies. They will spend a twenty dollar "William" on their out fit and then go out on the running track and finish last in a group of "selling platers." Daniels, a leader among leading swimmers, is not that sort of a lad. A bit of conversation I recently overheard at Travers island, the country home of the N. Y. A. C, well illustrates the point. Captain Handley of the water polo team said: "That's a fine looking swimming suit you have on, 'Danny.' How much did you pay for it?" "Oh, I picked it up in a store down town for $1.25," was the laconic re sponse. Most of the would be swimmers at the summer resorts, who cannot take more than a dozen strokes without resting, would not think of dipping their dainty little toes into the surf un less arrayed in a gaudily striped crea tion that cost them half of a week's salary. PELOTA PLEASES PATRONS. The game of pelota, introduced at Jai Alal, De Balivere avenue and "Kingsbury boulevard, St. Louis, by ex perts from Spain has proved a revela tion to patrons. The game is attractive even to the uninformed and will Im prove on acquaintance, as the greatest skill, speed and stamina are required in its players. The scientific features appeal strong ly to those who have played handball, but pelota is far beyond the Irish game in every feature. The accuracy and speed of the return of the ball from difficult positions challenge applause, and those who visit Jai Alai from cu riosity return from interest in the na tional game of Spain. There is a per formance each day at which a match of thirty points and ten quinielas of six points each are played. Visitors to the world's fair cannot afford to miss these exhibitions. .4 THE FISKES' PLANS. Harrison Grey Fiske announces that the Manhattan theater. New York, next season will be devoted to the work of a stock company, with Mrs. Fiske at the head. The season will open in Septem ber with a brilliant revival of "Becky Sharp." Probably "Hedda Gabler" will follow, and then a Maeterlinck play. It Is also likely that Mrs. Fiske will give a series of special night performances in special plays, to be arranged for by subscription. Several improvements will be made in the Manhattan this summer. The company will be called for rehearsals about the middle of Au gust. "THE GOOD HOPE." Ellen Terry recently appeared In a new role. In which she made the exper iment of playing an old woman's part. The play is "The Good Hope," and Miss Terry plays the part of an aged fisher man's, widow whose two sons are drowned at sea. The play achieved a great success, and Miss Terry will In clude it as a feature of her next Lon don season. J. .V. Skiff will donate a silver cup to the winner of the 100 meter run, A. L. Shapleigh a silver cup to the winner of the 400 meter run; .John S. Huyler of fers a silver cup as first prize for the broad jump, Norrls B. Gregg a silver cup for the 1,500 meter run. Silver cups are also given by Abraham G. Mills, 800 meter run; Isaac A. Taylor, throwing the discus; Charles J. Dieges, throwing the fifty-six pound weight; H. H. Baxter, pole vault for height: R. Wells, Jr., throwing the sixteen pound hammer, and A. G. Spalding will pre sent a cup to the club or college scor ing the greatest number of points. Colonel Albert A. Pope will present the winners of each bicycle race with a silver cup. CHARLES E. EDWARDES. ANNIE IRISH. Annie Irish (Mrs. John E. Dodson), for whom Martha Morton has written a sketch, entitled "An Actress' Christ mas," will present this at Keith's thea ter. New York, in September, about the time of Mr. Dodson's appearance as Pierre in "The TwotOrphans," in whose recent elaborate revival in New York she carried with distinction the role of the countess. Her experiment will be an interesting variation in a career of hard work and uniform prosperity. She is one of the small band of actresses who do not know the sensation of being without an engagement. It is one of the common places of the Rialto that there is al ways something for Annie Irish. Since the night of her debut in this country with the Kendals she has known scarcely an interruption in her labors, and she refers to herself in her own style of sedate gravity as "a species of continuous performance." By temperament and methodical hab its no less than by her point of view in art, her adaptability and her careful training in the English school of his trionism, she is fitted for a greater ver satility of impersonation than are some women of wider fame. Few actresses of her years have had experience of a larger variety of types. .With Mr. Dodson himself an artist of genius she lives in all the "felicity of unbounded domesticity" conceived by Gilbert, and she looks as attentively to her linen closet as to a stage char acterization. Nervousness and tem per are as far from her as dissipation. When during the hot nights of "The Two Orphans" presentation some of the women of the company refreshed themselves with cooling drinks she produced a bundle of lemon drops. Her diversion is writing verse, which she reads, with blushes and golden tones, to a few intimate friends, but she resists their urgings to consult a printer and will resist until, as she puts it, there comes a "ray of divine illumination." SUCCESS ON THE STAGE. "Unless you have acquired a box of fice value there is little to go by in the I manager's office," says Eleanor Frank- lin. "It is usually a case of physical fitness. A manager wants a fine lock ing leading man to play the fascinating hero, and irony of fate you may be able to make 'love like a Claude Mel- THEATRICAL DECADENCE. "The first count is that the major part of the trouble with the theater," says an English writer, "is due to the increasing preponderance of the busy idle rich, who, guiltless, many of them, of any native aesthetic sense, yet are nevertheless persuaded that even that gift of the gods can be laid on if only the purchasing coin is forthcoming. These are they who start forth to buy 'culture' precisely as they buy the best hair oil from the best hairdresser. These are they who collect the man nered 'masterpieces' of a single painter because the town has gone momen tarily mad about him. Having hung these profound morbidities around their dining table, they are later on not a little shaken up when told by the agent who has orders to let their house that Mr. Blank will take it. and on their own terms, provided the 'master pieces' in question are ejected. To one such a sleek American millionaire who arrived boast laden last year, telling of what he had already acquired and of what he had further marked down to ship home his hostess made pensive answer, 'But there are a few things that are not to be bought."

The real thing is much more de sirable, and this Is especially true of the fat ladies who have been graduated during the past couple of seasons from the dime museum to the sclntillant realms of musical comedy, where they hold the center of the stage. Witness Miss Evie Stetson, recently of the Weber-Fields forces. Miss Eva Daven port of 'The Yankee Consul' and vari ous others who have starred that hith erto so undesirable stoutness on Broad way this season." MM E. REJANE IN "LA MONTAN SIER." Mme. Rejane. who Is to tour the United States next season, has been appearing in Paris of late in "La Mon- 7V tansler," a play which she may include in her repertory over here in the fall. As usual, Mme. Rejane's portrayal of the title role has won warm commen dation. upward 'sing' of triumphant dollars In his voice he replied- with assurance, I should like to know what they are.'

There are no indications that the presidential campaign will prove to be a disturbing factor in the business world this year. Crops are good and the outlook for fall trade is reported to be excellent at all the commercial cen ters. Brooklyn Times: Brigadier General Frederick Funston has been appointed to succeed Major General Corbin in command of the department of the east. In his new home on Governor's Island the gallant Kansan will have all the opportunities for swimming that he can desire. The friends of Magistrate Tighe are already talking of arranging a swimming match between Brooklyn's cold water champion and Gen. Fun ston. The exportation of prunes from the United States has grown very rapidly In recent years, the total number of pounds exported In 1S98, the first year in which a record was made by the bureau of statistics, being, in round terms. 16 millions; in 1902. 23 millions; In 1903. 66 millions, and In 1904 will amount to about 74 millions, valued at about 3 million dollars. Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are the principal customers for this class of American fruit, the total quantity sent to Germany In the fiscal year 1903 being 18H million pounds; France, 16 mil lions, and the United Kingdom, 15 mil lions; while Belgium took nearly 5 mil lion pounds, Netherlands nearly 4 mil lions, and Canada about 4 millions. Of the 66 million pounds of prunes ex ported In 1903, 9 millions went from San Francisco and 53 millions from New York, although they are chiefly the pro duct of the Pacific coast. Exports of fruit from the United States in the fiscal year 1904 will ex ceed $20,000,000, against less than $3. 000.000 in 1S94 and less than $2,000,000 in 1SS4. The growth in the exportation of fruits from the United States has been very rapid during the last few years. The department of commerce and labor, through its bureau of statistics, has issued a table showing the value of fruits and nuts imported and exported In each year from 1S84 to 1904. It shows that the importations were practically SO million dollars in value in 18S4, and will in 1904 be about 22 millions, while the exports which were $1,746,418 in 18S4 will be about $20,500,000 in 1904. Apples, oranges, apricots, prunes, and raisins form the principal items in the exports of fruits. The value of the apple exportations in 1904 will amount to about S1 million dollars out of the 20 million dollars' worth of fruits ex ported, and of the 8 million dollars' worth of apples exported about 5 million dollars' worth was exported in the natural state and 3 million dollars' worth as dried fruit. DOWN WITH THE GRAFTERS. Whatever other issues party leaders may try to push to the front and the spell-binders talk about, one of the real issues in politics this year is hon est government. The rallying cry of those who are in favor of honesty and integrity in public officials ought to be, "Down with the grafters!" This issue will even enter Into na tional politics. The postoffice and other grafters whom President Roose velt's administration has shown, u will oppose the re-election of the pres ent president most bitterly. They may not do It openly, for that might simply aid the cause they wish to in lure, but they will fight Roosevelt nevertheless. This does not neces sarily mean that Mr. Roosevelt's op ponent in the presidential race be longs to this class, nor that most of his supporters do. but the grafters whom Roosevelt has brought to time will line up with his opponents. Over In Missouri the grafters will all fight Folk. This does not mean that all Republicans who vote against Folk are grafters, but all the grafters will be found voting against him if they have a nominee to vote for. In Kansas there, will be the same graft and anti-graft fight to a lesser degree, but in this instance there are some grafters who are candidates. There are some candidates who seem to have the old Burton idea that a public office Is a private graft, and the thing to do is to make the most of It. The man who uses his office to make money at the expense of the public Is a grafter, whether there is a law against his specific action or not. If there is a law against it he Is crim- Inal In addition to being a grafter. The Douglass Tribune, which, by the way, was a boss buster paper in the fight last winter before the Re nublican state convention, contains some good advice on this subject- Here it is: 'The way to stop boodling in poll tics is to put a short stop to the bood- ler. Knock him out wherever you find him. No different what his party nor where his position, knock him out. Por.'t blame the courts because he is not prosecuted. Don't blame the lawmakers because of the law's loop holes for his escape until you have done your duty, Mr. Voter. Knock him out wherever you find him. If the voters spare him, the courts will take up the cue and spare him. If the voters offer him loopholes for escape the lawmakers will do the same. No matter what your party is, nor where you find the boodler, knock him out. He is an enemy to your country, and the worst foe of your government. Give him the grand bounce. If he is old he deserves the punishment Knock him out." It may be that there will be some grafters get on the Democratic ticket or the fusion ticket. Grafting is by no means confined to one party, but wherever the grafter appears it is up to the man who believes in honest government to vote against him. That is the only way that the Burton idea will be rooted-out of politics. LUCKY IF NOT DISTINGUISHED, Although the Kansas school history row and the activity of Mr.. D. O. Mc Cray, newspaper correspondent, have done what they could to bring General Frederick Funston's stock down In his home state, the recent dissension doesn't seem to have affected his stand ing with the war department. It is Just possible that the war department never heard of Mr. McCray. Anyway, General Funston has been assigned, within the week, to the command of the Atlantic division with headquarters in New York, an assignment which us ually falls to a major general and the ranking major general. With General Corbin ordered, by his personal appli cation to the Philippines, General Mac Arthur becomes the senior major gen eral in the United States. He is now commanding the Pacific division with headquarters at San Francisco. There are five other major generals In the ac tlve service and General Funston is only fourth on the list of brigadier generals. Accordingly his appointment can not be construed as evidence that the war department agrees with Mr. McCray's opinion of the unfitness and incompetency of the Kansas officer. It is hardly likely that all his senior offi cers prefer such garrison posts as San Francisco, Oklahoma City, or St. Louis to New York; and at any rate the honor, importance and ease of General Funston's new assignment would sug gest that even if as Mr. McCray in sists, the Kansas man is not a distin guished officer he is a very lucky one. THE BASEBALL "KNOCKER." The growth of interest in athletics in Topeka within the past two years be cause of the strong football teams put into the field by Washburn college and the wonderful impetus given it this summer with the advent of profession al baseball again, after a death of sev eral years, has brought with it the "knocker." As an individual he fattens upon ad versity and wastes away in the glow of athletic success and itmay beadded that he has had unlimited opportuni ties to become corpulent in the Topeka grand stand. He is fickle. You will al ways find that an impatient man will Join the clanging chorus of the "anvil fest." That man might be preached to until doomsday. It does no good. There Is but one way to offset his damage do more good than he can do harm. The louder he "knocks" the louder you must boost- Drown him out. Make him ashamed of his insignifi- cance. It is possible that he can be reformed in that way. When he sees that there are a hundred men who are willing to exercise forbearance when mistakes are made, when he takes into account their patience, when he comes to realize the fact that they first rea son out the cause and effect and the road to redemption, he may see the daylight it may somehow touch his soul. Just a little advice to the Topeka baseball "knocker" himself: The men who are promoting the baseball team Ifi the city this summer are spending their money without signs of being re imbursed; are giving valuable time from their business without even an expectation of compensation; are doing all this to start baseball off in Topeka again. Be charitable, be patient, don't say anything if you cannot say good and if you can't keep from using a hammer stay away from the games. JAVHAWKEIt JOTS.

A book that is attracting more or less attention in the east is Dr. Wolf von Schierbrand's latest work Just published by Henry Holt Co., of New York. Dr. Von Schierbrand's latest book follows logically, his previous work, Russia, Her Strength and Her Weak ness, which was principally an ciju sition of her weakness, says an east ern reviewer. His aim has not been merely to lay bare the causes which led to the war between rtussia ana Japan, although his book bears more or less directly upon the present con flict. It has a wider scope. He con tends that the war represents but the initial stage in an international truggle which there is every reason to hope may be fought solely with the weapons of peace. It will be a long contest and will involve all tna leading nations of the globe. Its ul timate outcome will settle the question r-f nrednminance. commercial and po litical, among the civilized powers. The coming conflict will be for the mas tery of the Pacific, which will assume in the twentieth century the impor tance which the Mediterranean naa for the leading commercial nations of ancient times.

"Therefore," Mr. Von Schierbrand contends, "the commer cial supremacy of the Pacific will be final. The nation holding that su premacy will, so far as human fore sight can discern, hold the supreme power on this globe. The author considers in turn tne equipment of our rivals in the Pacific the British, German, French, Jap anese and the Slav. Regarding the last named he says: "On the border of the Pacific, on his own soil, stands the Slav, brawny and overbearing. The American's struggle with him for supremacy in the Pacific will be the hardest or an. It will not be of the same nature as that with the, other nations. For with the latter it will primarily be com mercial; not so with the Russian. It will not even be so much a question of fighting for the possession of ma terial things no, the strife will be of a different character. First, politically. The Russian's hegemony over Asia 'must be broken. The Russian article of faith that the whole of the Immense continent by right belongs to him and must come under his sway is to be destroyed. His pretension to exclude from Far Asia all influence and all trade but his own must be resisted and over come. His type of civilization must be made to yield to ours or at least confined to his own dominions. His dogma that the Orthodox church of Russia is to have spiritual rule throughout Asia must be crushed. In fine, the chief issue hereafter between the Russian and the American in Asia will be for the predominance of western or eastern civilization." Between the Slav and the Ameri can there are some striking resem blances. The American nation is numerically one of, the strongest in the world. Russia exceeds us in numbers, but we have the erreater rate of increase, and within a generation both nations II he equal in population. isince 186 0 Russia's population has doubled, ours has trebled. The natural re- ources of Russia, like those of the United States, are practically limitless. We have had enormous territorial growth the Russian likewise. In the nineteenth century we added more than 2,000,000 square miles to our domain; the Russian added a terri tory almost precisely the same size to his country. The American as well as the Russian nation has remarkable powers of assimilation, a fact which goes far to account for unequaled growth on both sides. The author quotes Lavelaye, who said: "A hun dred years hence, leaving China out of the question, there will be two co lossal powers in the world, beside which Germany, England, France and Italy will be as pigmies the United States and Russia." But the author finds the contrasts between the two nations even more striking and numerous than the points of similarity, only a few of which the author has noted having been re peated. The decisive point of differ ence, he declares, is the difference be tween their conception of the best form of government. The American is the supreme representative of civil and religious liberty; the Russian is the supreme representation of abso lutism, both in state and church. American civilization is the product of the development of the individual. It means individual responsibility and individual effort... Russian civilization is based on the suppression of the individual. The two systems. Dr. Von Schierbrand holds, spring from radi cally different conceptions and aim at radically different ends. This devel opment will finally drive the two na tions further apart and finally must bring on a conflict. The result, the author does not doubt, will be Ameri can supremacy. Whatever the out come of the present war Russia will issue from it in a sadly weakened condition., And that will be a telling fact in our coming struggle with her in the Pacific The author does not regard Japan as a rival to be regarded seriously. There is a field for her, certainly, he admits, but it is rather limited. Her exports in rice to Asian coun tries may grow considerably. So may her exports or beer, textiles, coal, copper, sake, the cheaper grade of hardware, and possibly later on ma chinery. Her trade in tea is scarcely susceptible of great expansion, because it is relished nowhere except in Japan itself and in this country. But it is only as "quite a respectable figure" that Dr. Von Schierbrand will admit. Japan to the participation in the des tiny of the Pacific His entire discussion of the ques tion is suggestive and stimulating. There may be those who will disagree with his premises. There may be those who hold that our commercial supremacy may depend upon our ab sorption of European markets, which now have the bulk of our foreign trade, and not upon our ability to supply the demands of the Asiatic; who may contend that the trade of the Pacific is in the far future as compared with that of the Atlantic, yet they will find data and reasoning in this book that are worth profound consideration. i i t 1 i I KX-PRKSiDKN 1 OROVfcK CLfcV fcLAND, who tells the inside storvof "The Government in the Chicago Sinks of 1894" ia McCluw's Magazine for July. BRADY AFTER INFORMATION. Will Write a Magazine Article About Battle of Platte Bridge. Cyrus Townsend Brady will shortly publish an article in Pierson's maga zine on the Battle of Platte Bridge which took place on July 25, 26 and 27, 1865, in Nebraska, in which Major Martin Anderson, father of T. J. An derson of this city, commanding only 96 men from the Eleventh Kansas cavalry, held out against a band of Sioux Indians, estimated to have been at least 3,000 in number. On the third day the Indians skipped out. The soldiers had but seven rounds of am munition left and expected to be mo mentarily overpowered and massa cred. But the redskins apparently had enough. Cyrus Townsend Brady is hunting material for his account in the magazine, and T. J. Anderson is furnishing him "with the biggest por tion of it. BOOK NOTES. Various Items About Books That Are Attracting Attention. It is interesting to note that of the six best-selling books on the July Bookman's official list, just half were written by women American women. They are "Sir Mortimer," by Mary Johnstons "Rulers of Kings," by Ger trude Atherton; and "Memoirs of a Baby," by Josephine Daskam. The other three books on the list are Phillips' "The Cost," (Bobbs-Merrill), White's "The Silent Places," (McClure Philips), and Parrish's "When Wil derness was King" (McClurg), of which the authors are all men. McClure-Phillips will hereafter pub lish Stewart Edward White's book, brought out by the Outlook company, "The Forest." They have in prepa ration also for the autumn a com panion volume called "The Moun tains." McClure-Phillips publish also by Mr. White, "The Westerners," "The Blazed Trail," "Conjuror's House," and "The Silent Places." The battle-pictures in "The Is sue, by George Morgan, are said to be equal to Stephen Crane's. The late Mr. Crane had the faculty of putting himself inside the skin of some sol dier and of writing subjectively. Mr. Morgan, it seems, does this also; but at the same time writes objectively so that the reader not only enters into the feelings of the individual soldier, but gains a clear idea of all the cam paigns touched upon and all the bat tles described. The hero of "The Rose of Old St. Louis" is represented as telling the story, from start to finish, with youth ful enthusiasm and manly modesty. The lady of his heart, almost from the start, is the bewitching Pelagie, "the rose of old St. Louis." All the American notables of the time, with Napoleon, Talleyrand, Marbois, and their associates, help to make the story. It is promised that "The Rose of Old St. -Louis," to be published early in July by The Century Co., will combine thrill of plot and faithfulness to historical detail in unusual degree. A new book by Mrs. Roger A. Pryor, the author of "The Mother of Wash ington and Her Times," is announced by The Macmillan company for issue in the autumn. Mrs. Pryor describes the. brilliant social life of Washington during the '50s, of which she was a part, and her remarkable experiences in Petersburg and other parts of Vir ginia during the civil war. George Barton contributes to the current Harper's Weekly some enter taining reminiscences of the humor of past political campaigns. One of his best anecdotes relates to a pas sage at arms between Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the eminent woman suffrag ist, and Horace Greeley, on the oc casion of a discourse by the former on the right of women to the ballot. In the midst of her talk, Greeley in terposed, in his high-pitched falsetto voice: 'What would you do in time of war if you had the suffrage?" Thi3 seemed like a poser; but the lady had been before the public too long to be disconcerted by an unex pected question, and she promptly re plied: Just what you have done, Mr. Greeley stay at home and urge oth ers to go and fight." The mysterious question of the authorship of "The Bread-Winners" has been revived, and various papers are printing columns of surmises, at taching the authorship to Charles Frederick Adams, of New York, and to various other persons, including Secretary John Hay. Denials from the accused make apparently no im pression, and the mystery remains as inscrutable as ever. Harper Broth ers published this novel anonymously in 1S84. It aroused keen interest im mediately, edition after edition was published, and questions rained upon the publishers concerning the author's identity.

Not long ago the Harpers proposed to the author to bring out the novel in a new edition, with the author's name on the title page, as the commercial value of the name at this time would insure the book a phenomenal sale. But this author declined either the fame or for tune attached to the enterprise, and his publishers still remain mute. An English edition of "The Rain bow Chasers," John H. Whitson's story of the plains, is about to be brought out. This is in addition to Canadian and Australian editions. Little, Brown Co. have already printed the book four times to supply the demand in this country. E.- Phillips Oppenheim, the popular English novelist, is visiting this coun try. Mr. Oppenheim is not a stranger here, as he married a Boston girl sev eral years ago. The fact that three of Mr. Oppenheim's novels were pub lished here last year has suggested a comparison witn a weu-Known American author. A western critic says: In point of quantity or out-put Mr. Oppenheim is a close second to our own Cyrus Townsend Brady; but there, thanks be, the resemblance ends, for the quality of his writings is decidedly above the good and in dustrious archbishop.". It may be said on authority that Mr. Oppenheim is under contract to write two novels per year for his English publishers, his lates, "Anna, the Adventuress," having already gone into a fourth edi tion in this country. There is con siderable competition on the part of American publishers to secure the American rights for Mr. Oppenheim's bocks. A Russian Marriage Market. Perhaps the best known of these Rus sian marriage markets is the one which takes place annually at Klui, near Mos cow, and which has just been held with the usual success. It occurs during the week of Epipnany (Russian style), and all the young women who wish to get married in the course of the year are mustered in a long row in the principal street of that large and straggling coun try town. In order to make themselves attractive to the young men who came to see and admire them they wear nearly all their belongings on their backs. Their finery does not consist only of their best clothes, but it includes a lot of old fam ily trinkets, sometimes valuable scarfs, cloaks and furs, heavy silver jewelry and necklaces, jackets showing rows of pret tily ciselated or filigree silver buttons, and many of the girls bring even their linen and other domestic property along with them in gaudily painted chests and trunks sitting on them like dragons watching a treasure. After exposing themselves for hours to the close scrutiny of the would-be bene dicts the girls march off in a procession to church, there to perform at the shrine of some saint particularly potent in pro curing connubial bliss, such as St. Chry sostom and St. Niazanzen. worshipful prayers. On the way to church it is not only permissible but good form for the young men to follow and accost one or the other of the girls in the way of con versation. If any two of the young people think they suit one another a formal visit is paid by the intended groom to the par ents. But before the actual marriage is arrangon a numner ot interviews takes place between the respective parents, ev ery item of the trousseau beine exacted beforehand and noted down as part of the bride dowry.

Some few years ago the Boxers got to acting up In China, and In conse quence the slow smouldering patriot ism of some people In Kansas got to the fever point and broke forth. One of those who was struck by the fever was, and still is, a deep chested, re sonant voiced Scotchman. He had seen copies of that famous picture, "The Charge of the Scotch Grays" the picture of the battle line of gray cavalry horses, mounted by gallant sons of the Thistle land. swinging their sabres and yelling at the top of their voices and charging straight down the field toward the person looking at the picture. It was enough to inspire any Scotchman to fight the Boxers, the Wrestlers, the Hammer Throwers, or anyone else, and this Scotchman wanted to fight, and as he could not fight at home he was willing to go abroad and fight even for that part of the people of the earth described by William Allen White as the "popu lation of Europe that does not keep its shirt tails tucked in." This Scotchman, whose name must not be -divulged, at that time was an assistant in the state treasurer's office. He is now an assistant in the attorney general's office, and not long ago he took part in the mock trial held by the Washburn law school students. Some practical Jokers at the state house decided to help along his pa triotism and get him much excited over the Boxer war. One day one of the Jokers called him up over the telephone. "This Is John Williams, of the boiler making shops of the Santa Fe." "Yes," said the Scotchman. "Myself and several other boiler makers understand that you. wish to organize a company to go to China and fight the Boxers?" "'Yes, sir." "Well, myself and my fellow boiler makers wish to enlist In your company and go to the front." "Good, good," shouted the Scotch man. "You are Just the kind of men I want. With you gallant boilermak- ers behind me we can cut our way through the Boxers and make a rec ord." "You are just the kind of a captain we want." said John Williams. "You are just the kind of soldiers I want behind me," shouted the Scotch man. The bollermaker was told to call up again in a few days. He did and this was the way the conversation was over the telephone: "Is this the captain?" asked John Williams. "It is. sir," said the Scotchman. "When are we ordered to the front?" "Not for a few days, my gallant friends, but I hope Boon. I am mak ing the arrangements. Keep up your courage and study Hardee's tactics. We will go before long to China and we will fight." A few days after that the Scotch man found that John Williams was a fake and that he had been tricked, so in a few dars when the telephone rang and he answered it and that voice at the othec end said, "This is John Wil liams." the Scotchman shouted in tha telephone: "John Williams, you go to "To China did you say?" asked John Williams. "No no no go to "All right, captain, your orders shall be obeyed,", said John Williams.

TOPEKA STATE JOTJRNAI4 SATUEDA 5T; EVEN ING. JULY, 16, 1904. 13 We hear a good deal about the voman who knows how to wear her clothes and tribute is also due to the woman who knows when to wear them. If you have mastered these Important points the chances are you are a well dressed woman though you manage it on an allowance of fifteen dollars a month. But if you are a daughter of plutocrats and go sumptu ously clad every day. just because you are a daughter of plutocrats and with out regard to the fitness of things, you can not lay cla.im to this distinc tion which in spite of the universal feminine interest in clothes, is still a distinction which few women possess. After ail you can almost tell a wom an by her clothes, or at any rate by her clothes, the way she wears them and the places she wears them. There are so many kinds of smartness. There is the cheap, near-silk lined, imitation smartness: the smartness of the chorus girl with her high heels and pompadour, her tiny, drawn-in waist, her skirts either very long or very short, very tight or very full, her exaggerated waik and her made up face. So many girls, city girls especially, affect the chorus girl style of dress and imagine that they are smartly gotten up! They are the sort who wear their best clothes downtown, or to their boarding houses or hotels, probably because they have no other place to wear them. You see them In open work, lacy stockings and high heeled sandal-strapped shoes in rain storms. Then there are the really smart who wear beautiful things appropriately and fittingly and at no other time. They are never overdressed on the street or for simple informal occasions. They have their elaborate clothes, of course, to wear when occasion de mands, but for all other times and place they have well made but simple, quiet things which the chorus girl style of smartness passes up with a sniff or overlooks altogether. If you suggested to the chorus girl style that the really smart girl were a well dressed woman she would probably say. "What! She? Why. she's per fectly dowdy, I think.'" And there are many kinds of dowdi ness. There is a dowdiness that is positively aristocratic, being affected by the right people, the people who can afford it. We all know middle aged women of wealth and position who wear the same hat season after season and not because they are stingy either, but because they prefer it and can do so without criticism. And somehow even if you don't know who they and never saw them before, they wear their out of date clothes with such an air of self possession and un consciousness of any shortcomings that jou recognize them at once as the sort who have the. right to ignore fashions and dress plainly. You are not at all surprised to hear that they have money and blue blood and swag ger daughters or sisters or nieces. Some way they look like somebodies although their faces may be red and their figures fat as well as their clothes shabby and old-fashioned. But there is another kind of dowdi ness: the dowdiness of the poor in purse and spirit Vho wear their old things deprecatingly, apologetically, with a shame-faced air. You recog nize them at once as the trampled upon, the neglected and ignored. Per haps they once wore better clothes, in the days when it seemed worth the effort but now they have given it up, not like their more successful sisters, because they are more comfortable in old things and don't want to bother with gownbuilders. and are sure of their welcome and their position any way, but because they have been obliged to give up the struggle. And they carry about with them continual ly the air of defeat and bitterness. The younger dowds of the plebeian class are different. They are the girls and young women who want to dress and are convinced that their efforts are in the right direction but who are usually frights. Often they get up their gowns and hats at home and they look it. They are much given to spangles and tassels and fringes and gew-gaws of various kinds. They wear many cheap pins and beads and carry fearful and wonderful shop ping bags and similar conceits. Their hats are commonly something which they imagine to be picturesque, but which are really best described as "jakey." Their coiffures are befriz rled and be-curled. Now and then you see them with rows of little bows rip their backs where other people fasten their gowns with hooks or buttons. There are a good many or this kind of dowdy women in the world and not all of them are poor and home made, either. Occasionally you meet the girl who Is ill dressed because she is over dressed, too richly dressed, the vic tim "of her father's generosity and her own lack of taste. She tells you that she leaves everything to her dressmaker and you take one look at her and believe it. You know there are some dressmakers who delight in 'gingerbread" effects and this kind of dowd usually patronizes that kind. If she had a really good dressmaker and left everything to her she would be all right. But the kind of dress maker who meets with her approval Is the dressmaker who has a passion for overloading a gown with trim mings, lace and embroideries, flub-dub and accessories and ruining the effect of elegant material and really good workmanship. This kind of dowd is really the most exasperating of all. When the well dressed woman sees her she ex claims: "Isn't it a crime? And with all her money!" And speaking of over-elaboration in dressing what so aptly illustrates the mistakes some women make in this direction than their shirt waists. If there is a garment that should be plain, simple, tailored in effect it is the cotton, silk or linen shirt waist or shirt waist suit. There are dozens of other things that you can have "all fussed up," if you want them and if shirt waists are not becoming to you it is possible to dispense with them al together, especially now when the long traveling wraps make it possible to wear almost any simple frock on the train. But if you are going to wear a shirt waist let it be a shirt waist, not a "fancy" waist (that abom ination with a plain tailored skirt.) Fussy stocks, belts, collar effects, elab orate Insets of lace or embroidery all detract from the charm of the shirt waist which is at its best when made very plainly with self trimming only in the way of straps and bands, or a little stitching or a few tailor buttons. How abominable serpentine lace, or medallions or little rosettes, or stocks all covered with beads and French knots and lace edgings look with a silk or linen waist intended for every day wear. It i3 said that American women wear the shirt waist much bet ter than the women of London and Paris, and although our women go over there and buy the English and French products in this line the styles for this garment originate in America. Last year all the American women were wearing embroidered shirt waists. This year the Americans who have money enough to go abroad write home of the lovely "new" embroid ered waists in the Paris shops. The idea originated here and was copied by Paris. It is so with fashion fads, although the authors of the Paris let ters don't seem to have found it out. America is beginning to lead in this respect now that there are so many women in this country of unlimited means, wide travel and excellent taste who have the courage and the orig inality to branch out for themselves and who design their own clothes with such excellent effect that the whole world of fashion is anxious to copy them. The great thing in wearing a shirt waist is to have in spite of the neat trimness of the garment a certain everyday, informal air in it. That is why some women can not wear them. They wish to have a "dressed up" look but it is not a garment which calls for such rigueur and no matter how beautiful or expensive it may be the fact remains that a shirt waist is nothing but a shirt waist and if you strive for anything else you kill the effect. Did you ever stop to think how few Topeka women wear the shirt waist well how few real "shirt waist girls" we have here? One of the most stunning is a tall, slender young woman who lives in a quaint old brick house out on Western avenue. Another is a young matron who spends her sum mers in the east and lives on Harri son street. Two young Kansas City matrons, sisters, who formerly lived here and who spend so much of their time here that th"y are claimed by Topeka. always wear effective shirt waists and wear them well. The tall blonde in the Bowling club crowd who is often described as the best dressed girl in town is another ideal shirt waist girl. There are three sisters on West Tenth street, two of the He lianthus set and the third a high school graduate of this year, who wear stunning shirt waists and look excep tionally well In them. Another young matron, a former Salina girl who lives on Fillmore street affects white linen or black and white percale shirt waists and has some very swagger white duck and blue linen tub suits this summer which are the envy of all who care for this style of garment. Another young matron of the same set who lives out on Topeka avenue and is famed as one of the most capable women in town since she is a good housekeeper, charming hostess, excel lent cook and makes all her own clothes is another ideal shirt waist girl although in the summer time she is ofte-nest seen in dainty, fluffy white summer frocks, with lacy petticoats and spotless white shoes and hose. But when she wears a shirt waist she wears It well. The shirt waist is pre-eminently a garment for business women and at least two of the self-supporting girls in Topeka make the most of their possibilities. One is a tall distin guished blonde with a position in a federal office and the other is a petite favorite of the Helianthus set who works in the Santa Fe offices. A Topeka avenue girl, daughter of a Santa Fe director who looks well always and is one of the most attract ive girls in town is especially fetch ing in her shirt waist suits. Then there is a young matron on Van Bu ren street, a reigning belle and beauty i since her girlhood, who belongs in this class. She has a fetching white India linen tub suit this summer made with a deep tucked yoke in waist and skirt which, worn with her white sailor hat and long white chiffon veil, makes a typical summer girl toilet. The eastern visiting girl had been taken for an evening drive by the most attractive and agreeable young man her hostess could press into the ser vice. The eastern visiting girl had been in town two weeks and during that time she had had what the aver age summer girl would agree was a "good time." There had been pic nics and dances and luncheons and dinners in her honor, all the men had called, a good many of them had taken her motoring or driving and all her hostess's particular girl friends had entertained for her. Nev ertheless she was still working the supercilious and critical eastern man ner regarding all things western and this particular man. although he ac knowledged that "she wore glad rags and was very easy to look at naa only taken her for the drive because he was so indebted to ner nostess. didn't like it. She made fun of To peka and Topeka people and pointed out the many respects in which they are lacking in the essentials of civil! zation until he finally decided that he could stand it no longer. "Things are so different here from what they are in Washington, she said. "Why at home really nice girls never go driving in the evening with men." This was the Topeka man's oppor tunity. "It's the same way here," he said coolly. "That's why we fellows have to take girls from out of town." It is now the proper caper, says a New York society writer, for hostesses to entertain dinner companies com posed of persons of all ages. In the ultra-fashionable set the members sel dom entertain a company in which the guests are of similar age and po sition, since the other sort of dinner is far livelier, with "bud" girls mixed in with worldly-wise matrons and the men varying from callow youths to old widowers. At the larger enter tainments, of course, there is the same mixture. In former days a host ess chose as guests friends and their friends, but this had a narrowing in fluence. One of the first to light on the icea of these all-age dinners was Airs. Ogden Mills. She always has at her dinners her daughters' friend3, and her own. This arrange ment makes necessary a large dinner table, of course. At house parties the same arrangement is preserved. "No fewer than six times in the last forty years has the outline of a woman's figure been changed," a mod iste said, "and now tight lacing is com ing into fashion again. "In the middle 60s the fashion able figure was neat, with a small waist in the place where a waist ought to be. Next appeared those short waisted shapes which squeezed the figure above the natural waist line. "Then came the long, slim figures of the '80s, with the waist compressed as far as possible into the hips, while in the next decade we had the waist and bulging above and below. The fifth change came with the straight front, wide waisted fashion, and now we have the 'Grecian bend. "The origin of the 'Grecian bend' is shrouded in mystery, but it prob ably originated through the tightness of the fashionable dress a few decades ago, when women could only bend backward and forward. "In this position the body bends forward from the hips, and the knees are stiffened, while the backbone is straight. It has certainly some grace to recommend it, but it w-ill look woe fully out of place in the revived 1830 costumes." Sleeves are very bouffant at the top. A device for obtaining the effect is the wide series of shirrs extending through the center of the top portion. White linen parasols are decorated with needlework of many kinds. One has a deep border extending more than half its depth, which is made up of eyelet embroidery. The eyelets are worked with Delft blue. Another has a row of large rings encircling its edge. These are filled in with deep red and blue Mexican stitches. The third has a straight border of Russian cross stitch in red and pale blue. Shoes are laced from the top down ward now. What is the use of lovely ribbons ana tne Dow out of sight? The Blucher, with big eyelets far apart, is tied at the toe with a natty knot. A very effective finish for the white mousseline de soie skirt is a series of broad, graduated bands of white taffeta, extending fully half its length. The petticoat with several adjust able flounces has not yet, it is whis pered, seen the height of its popu larity. In this country it is some thing of a novelty still. But women returning from Europe bring back with them these petticoats, which they have picked up .oji shopping tours there. One, skirt 'sf the kind has a jersey top. with three .flounces, one black, one plaid and one change able blue and green. These flounces are deep and are frilled and ruched at the bottom. All are of taffeta and are fitted with buttonholes at the top, concealed by a band. The jersey part has a row of buttons at its lower edge. Detachable flounces of fine cambric and embroidery are also seen. jt Wide ribbons are no longer wound carelessly about the waist and tied in bow knots. The fitting and boning and shaping of the girdle is an im portant item for even the simplest summer frock. But many a girl is accomplishing the feat for herself with more art than her dressmaker shows. Girdles are more often deep in the front and low in the back than other- Dimity petticoats are among the daintiest showings of lingerie count ers. One skirt is of blue and white. The scalloped bottom of the flounce is buttonholed with the same shade of blue. Lace medallions, outlined with blue coral embroidery, decorate the flounce. A Turk gives these directions for making Turkish coffee. Put three lumps of sugar into a little pot, turn in the water and bring it to a boil. Then put in two teaspoonfuls of fine ly ground coffee. As soon as froth rises lift the .pot and tap the bottom until the froth disappears. Repeat the operation three times. Then turn the coffee into delicate china cups giving each a share of froth. The coffee should be freshly roasted and around, and the grounds should be so fine as to pass the palate unnot iced. Writing of the display of clothes at the Grand Prix, the fashionable racing event in Paris, one writer says: Some of the most elegant gowns worn by stout women employed the plaited skirt. The 1830 styles have surely taken a back seat. Of course, many were in evidence, but the new est were less prim, which means that they were more striking and individ ual in effect. Some of the sleeves opened up to the shoulder over a tight lace undersleeve. Drooping shoulder cuts, high ceintures and less pointed effects in belts were no ticeable. The hats, veritable dreams of beau ty, were graceful, rich and summerish with that indescribable air possessed only by the summer hat. A few em ployed veils or lace to fall In the back, but the newest were crowned with big roses or birds of paradise, Most of them were made after mod els of garden party hats that have been sent to Ireland in honor of the king's recent visit. Some were made of mull, employing trimmings of plait ed mull. A large pink or yellow rose was ail the decoration such a chapeau needed. The straw hats this season do not call for much decoration. They are simple, but none the less hand some in effect. This is particularly tne case with those trimmed with birds of paradise. Elbow sleeves carried the day at tne urana Jfrix in spite or the weath er. But long gloves covered the arms, even to the elbows. Some of the new gloves for thin arms employ padding or cotton batting In the top, begin ning about half way up the wrist, so that the woman of scrawny propor tions can look as plump as her sis ter. The wadding can easily be re moved when the gloves are cleaned, so that, after all. it is only a harmless ruse one of the many thought of by women whose aim is to assist nature in every possible way. As it is, there is less artifice in women's get-up at this epoch than ever before. Less false hair is in vogue, bustles and hoop skirts are not countenanced, no padding is put in busts or shoulders or sleeves of dresses. So a few little things are pardonable, for every woman has a right to make as good an appearance as possible. Wrhen I look over the field and see what my sex has accomplished the things that it has actually done, not what it is "whereasing," and "be it resolving" to do in conventions, it seems to me that every other achieve ment pales into insignificance before the fact that somehow it has man aged to preempt the summer season for its own, and converted it into a holiday for its sole behoof and ben efit. Just how it has done this no body knows. Just why it has done it is an equally inscrutable mystery, but the truth remains. At the begin ning of the summer, every woman who can afford it, and a good many who can't, pack their Saratogas, shake the dust of their homes off their feet. and hie away on a two, or three, or iour montns vacation, and no hus band dares say them nay. The right to vote is a poor thing compared with the right to get up and go where and when you please, and i conress that I always look with awe upon the summer exodus of wives as a final and complete proof of woman's real emancipation. In the beginning of the hegira some sort of excuse was always put forth, such as, "for the sake of the children," "my poor nerves," "the doctor's orders," etc., but women have now abandoned all of such subterfuges and they bold ly seek the spring, or the seashore, or mountains, frankly and solely for the purpose of enjoying themselves, and not because they are driven away from home by the necessities of their children or their own ill health. In a way. no phase of our curious and contradictory social system pre sents more points of interest or is more typically American, for the cus tom of the wives of the rich and well-to-do men forsaking husband and home for the summer, belongs ex clusively to this land of the free and home of the brave women. To be gin with, there is the humorous sug gestion invoK'ed in the spectacle of the class who least need a vacation getting one. If it were the hard worked and overburdened husbands who were going off for a long rest now! But no. Nobody expects them to more than snatch a few day's holi day at the best. Mrs. Benedict and the girls being oft at an expensive summer resort is all the more reason why Mr. Benedict should remain in town at his office. Mrs. B. comforts herself with the thought that poor, dear John couldn't leave his business anyway, and that her presence at home wouidn t change the temperature. Moreover, wives, as a rule, hold the cheerful philosophy that Proyidence tempers the sun to the shorn hus band, and that men don't suffer from heat like women do, so it is with a light heart that they far forth to cooler climes. Dorothy Dix on the Summer Vacation. Brutally Tortured. A case came to light that for persistent and unmerciful torture has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golobick of Colusa, Cal., writes: "For 15 years I endured in sufferable pain from rheumatism and nothing relieved me, though I tried ev erything known. I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me."

What Happened When Mrs. Bowser Was Sent For. The Bowsers were eating breakfast the other morning when a telegraph boy delivered a message. After Mr. Bowser had read it, he said: "Well, your mother has swallowed a fly, or got the earache, or fallen over her own feet or something. She wants you to come up on the 10 o'clock train." "Then I must go," replied Mrs. Bowser. "You know how mother is. She would never telegraph unless she was seriously ill. You haven't any objections, have you?" "Not a one.. On the contrary, I shall be glad to get rid of you for a week or so. That is, I can get along nere an ngnt. It happened luckily that the cook walked out yesterday, and I will get my own meals and have a sort of picnic. It will be as good as camping out." "And you won't be lonesome?" "I don't want to seem hard-hearted. Mrs. Bowser, but I shall take solid comfort in being here alone. Don't you hurry back on my account. In deed, I shan't expect to see you for two weeks to come. I cannot help but remember how your mother talks to me every time she comes down here, but at the same time you may give her my iove. Now, then, you'll have to hustle to get ready," Mrs. Bowser got ready and depart ed, and Mr. Bowser went to the office. All the rest of the day he thought of the dinner he was going to prepare for himself at night, and on his way he stopped and got eggs and bacon, cucumbers, tomatoes and potato salad. As he ascended the steps and realized tnat the house was untenanted, a sud den feeling of loneliness came over j him. This was added to as the cat came mewing In from the back yard and rubbed against his leg to demand sympathy, but he began to whistle and sing and imagine he was camping yjiAL in uie wooas. He Started in to Wash the Dishes. The dinner, which took him a full hour to prepare, would have been a success but for several things. He burned the bacon, fried two eggs which had seen younger and fresher days, and through some accident put salt in the coffee pot and poured molasses on his salad. Even the cat understood that it was not much of a picnic. When Mr. Bowser had blunted his ap petite on bread and butter and beet pickles, he started in to wash the dishes. He went as far as to tie the cook s apron around him, and then the still ness of the house and the loss of his eggs and bacon seized him all at once and he decided to wait until he got a carload of dirty dishes and wash them all together. And to this he added: "Hang that old mother-in-law of mine! Why did she want to go and step on a tack and telegraph Mrs. Bowser!" Then he went upstairs to wander through the rooms and wonder why each and every one of them seemed to be attached to a graveyard. He pres ently decided that he would go to one of his clubs, but he no sooner started to put on a clean collarthan he changed his mind. It would be too lonesome to come home and not find Mrs. Bowser sitting up for him. He went down and sat on the front steps with his evening paper and oigar, and the cat crept up beside him and heard him say: "Mrs. Bowser needn't flatter herself that I miss her. She can stay away a whole month if she wants to. This is solid old comfort, this is." He tried to make himself believe it for ten minutes, and then gave it up and started out for a stroll. He hadn't sauntered far when he met his family grocer. "Mrs. Bowser away, eh?" queried the grocer. "Yes." "And you are having a mighty lone some time of it?" "No. I'm enjoying myself." He met the butcher and the plumber and was asked and answered the same questions, but he knew he was lying and he went back to the front steps and began to whistle and to think of horse races and dog fights and other lively things. He thought he was feeling happy, but all at once he turned to the cat and exclaimed: "Why in thunder didn't I object! Suppose that old mother-in-law of mine has got a fishbone in the throat, was that any reason she should drag Mrs. Bowser up there and break up my rou tine?" The cat eyed him wistfully and doubt fully, and refused to go on record. Mr. Bowser had picked up his paper and was making an effort to interest him self in the war news and the murder cases, and had just decided that he was to be congratulated, when a tramp came along and leaned on the gate. He HE THOUGHT HE COULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS IN THE HOUSE. j HE 5!!STX -EC. A. i N A f BANQUET T-t M The delicious product of your home company. Chas. Wolff Paclsin (p. TOPEKA, had been leaning there for five minutes before he said: "I'm not asking for money to buy food, as I can eat thistles and grass, but if you could spare me a dime to get something for this cough I'd look upon it as a Christian act." He thereupon coughed seven con sumptive and hollow coughs. They were coughs made to order, and Mr. Bowser knew that they were, but in view of the fact that he was having a picnic he decided to give the man a quarter. He was reaching for the riion ey when a sudden wave of loneliness swept over him. Mrs. Bowser was far away, and he would be alone in the house all night, and he felt that a nickel was enough for any tramp liv ing. Before he could get that out he got mad and struck the steps with his fist and appealed to the cat: "Was it right of that old mother-in-law of mine? Why didn't she send for a professional nurse? Why didn't she die, if die she must, with as little fuss as possible? Why send a red-hot tele gram down here and break up a happy home?" The tramp increased his hollow and consumptive coughs to eight and enter ed the yard for a heart-to-heart con versation. Mr. Bowser felt that he had been injured; he was posing as a mar tyr; he was looking to take it out on some one. With a sudden yell that lift ed the cat off his feet he dashed down the steps and seized the tramp and played baseball with him. He stood him on his head and rolled him on the grass and lovingly dallied with him, and when the man and his 15 hollow and consumptive coughs finally got away there was a Tumble of thunder low down in the west. For a quarter of an hour, or while Mr. Bowser was picking the splinters off his coat, he was glad that Mrs, Bowser had gone, but when the dust had settled down and he thought of the empty ronms behind and the long night ahead he groaned in despair and raised his fist at the cat and shouted: "You were there when the telegram came, and why in thunder did you al low me to make a fool of myself? You knew all the time I didn't want her to go, and I'm a good mmd to knock your two old eyes into one!" The cat prudently closed his eyes referred to and withdrew from the convention for a time, and Mr. Bow ser gritted his teeth and trotted his foot and made up his mind that he would go and get tight and come home and smash the furniture. Five minutes later he changed the pro gramme and went to bed. It was two hours ahead of time; he had planned for a long and peaceful snooze. The snooze didn't come. He had no sooner got to bed than the noises of the street became plainer and he thought he could hear footsteps in the house. Even when the citi' grew quiet he had Mrs. Bowser and the mother-in-law to think of, and the clocks struck midnight and he was still awake. At that hour the cat came upstairs to see if he slept, and if so to purr in his ear and keep him dreaming, but Mr. Bowser leaped out of bed and grabbed for one of his shoes and yelled at him: "You miserable, wall eyed wretch of perdition, but I'll tie you to the stake and burn you alive!" The cat went up no more, but sit ting on the stairs he took notes dur ing the rest of the night. At one o'clock Mr. Bowser was groaning and sighing. At two he was blessing the mother-in-law. At three he was walk ing around his room and talking about divorce. At four he seemed to be asleep, but was kicking around a good deal. At six he came down stairs looking hollow-eyed but deter mined, and burned some more bacon and scrambled three eggs. Then he busied himself packing a bag, and at seven he stood in the door and said to the wondering cat: "I'm going after Mrs. Bowser. I'll be hanged if I would put in another night here alone for ten thousand dollars. Yes, grin, you old sinner, but don't be too smart! I'm not going be cause I miss Mrs. Bowser or want her back, but if my mother-in-law is dan gerously ill people will think it curi ous I don't go up to see her. I've had the best time of mj life thus far. WSflS. E. O. DsMoss. L. M. PsmriUi DeHOSS&PENWEU Funeral Directors and Embalmers. FIRST-CLASS SERVICE. 511 Qulncy St TOPEKA, Both 'Phones 192, KANSAS.

And then he hurried away to catch the early train, and the cat sat down to ponder and think and come to the conclusion that human nature was a very unreliable quantity. (Copy right, 1904, by T. C. McClure.) Conjugal Devotion of Birds. The wagtail frequently migrates from one part of the country to another, and sometimes congregates in flocks, but he pairs for life, and the same pair al ways reappear, sometimes when they are least expected, and all the more welcome from their occasional absence, on their favorite lawn. Their devotion to one another is extreme, as a scene I witnessed some 40 years ago, but which is as fresh in my memory as It I had seen it yesterday, will show. A wagtail had been killed, probably by a stone, and was lying dead in the middle of the circular drive In front of the Down House, Blandford. The sur vivor seemed beside himself with grief. Like Eve in "Paradise," he "knew not what death was," or, at most, the re ality was only gradually breaking in upon him. He kept running up to the body, with loud and plaintive call note. He called, but there was no response. He caressed the body, caught hold of it with his little bill, coaxed it to move, drew it after him for a yard or two. He even tried to rise with it in the air. Then, like one distraught, he dashed away to the edge of the gravel drive, and then as quic kly dashed back again, to go through the same mournful pro cesses. Sometimes he would fly right off in wavering, uncertain flight as far as the eyes could follow him, as though he could bear the sight no longer, but. without stopping to rest, he hurried back in stralghter and quicker flight. unable to tear himself away, or as if he hoped that something might have hap pened in nls absence. This long-drawn tragedy, this abandonment of grief, I watched from the window throughout the afternoon till darkness came on. Netx morning the body had disappear ed, and I saw the survivor no more. Nineteenth Century. Himalaya Baby's Noonday Nap. In certain- parts of the Himalaya mountains the native women have a singular way of putting their children to sleep in the midlle of the day. The child is put near a stream of water, and by means of a palm leaf or a tin scoop the water is deflected so as to run over the back of the child's head. The water pouring on the child's head apparently sends it to sleep and keeps it so. while the mother proceeds witli her work In the fields. No one seems ever to fear that, baby may be drowned.

In speaking of his trip around the cape. Dr. Nayjor said it was made in remarkably quick time.

Col., has accepted a call from the Baptist church of this city and will be here August 21." Rev. Mr. Hutchinson was for 14 years the pastor of the North Topeka Baptist church, leaving here last February for Salida. His Topeka friends will be glad to welcome him back to Kansas. Services Sunday at the North To- Deka Baptist church as usual. Sun day school at 9:30 a. m. Preaching at 11 a. m. A special theme for the preaching: service In the morning, "Songs In the Night." The sermon is especially for all who in the past year have been called to the sorrows of the tomb. Junior union at 3 p. m. B. Y. P. U. will not be a union service be cause of the programme to be given by the Juniors at S p. m. The B. Y. P. U. will meet as usual at 7 p. m. Instead of the regular sermon in the evening, the hour will be occupied by the Juniors in a very delightful pro gramme, "The Nations of the World in the Struggle for Peace." It will be given by fifty little folks and they will be costumed to represent the different nations. The mass meeting called for last evening by the Business Men's league was fairly well attended, but not so largely as was expected. It was the evening of the Santa Fe pay day, when nearly all the merchants keep their stores open. On this account a slight movement was made on Thurs day to have the meeting postponed, but it was too late. It was remarked by some speakers that a larger meet ing was expected, but they did not seem to understand the reason. It is not likely that any different results would have followed had 500 instead of 100 been present, but the general effect would have been better. A crowd breeds enthusiasm and confi dence. It is probable that other meetings will be called. Filipino Commissioners at St. Louis. St. Louisj July 16.
