Ilk wSP Mil WHI Colonel n Lamb Bombardment of the Fortress General Newton M. Curtis THE forty-second anniversary of the capture of Fort Fisher will occur on the 15th of the present month, and it will be celebrated by a reunion of the veterans of that memorable struggle, both the survivors of the blue and the gray par ticipating. The defense of this North Carolina stronghold was remarkable in many ways, and its capture and reduc tion were equally noteworthy. Had it happened at the beginning of the strug gle instead of at the end. this affair at Fort Fisher would have stood out more prominently in the history of those stirring times. It was followed so soon by the fall of Petersburg and Richmond that it has been overshadowed by the interest attached to those final events. It was a great battle nevertheless. In a strategic sense it was one of the greatest of the war. That this is so is evident from the fact- that students in military engineering: of the present day are taught from a model of the sand and hog fortress receiving-the fire of a neei. Many oi me gallant defenders ot the fort were North Carolinians, and it is a strong and touching evidence of j the comradeship that has replaced the old bitterness that the prominent cit- i lzens of the old Tar Heel State have united in extending to the surviving participants in the Fort Fisher affair a co.-dial invitation to join in the com ing celebration. Fort Fisher was an outpost of the Confederate line on the James river. The position commanded the last gate- J li H v yj n ax i M w LH fl'JLJU II way between the Confederate states and the outside world. Its importance to the Confederacy is shown by the fact that its capture by the combined military and naval forces under the command of Major General Alfred H. Terry and Rear Admiral David D. Por ter was followed by the loss of all the Cape Fear river defenses and of Wil mington, the great importing depot of the south, and put an end to further blockade running. It was an ideal situation for a de fensive stand. Nature, assisted by some well directed engineering, had provided a '.defense which made Fort b isher w-ell X'Sh impregnable and its reduction a proposition not easy of so lution. In 1882 ColoneF William Lamb assumed cotninand of the position. Realizing the importance of his trust. he proceeded at once to strengthen the works. At the time the fortifications consisted of several detached earth works, with a casemated battery of sand and palmetto logs mounting four guns, and with only one heavy gun n the works. Colonel Lamb made up his mind that the system of defense was wholly inadequate. He realized that a few well directed shots from a frigate in the bay would silence his guns. So with the men of the garrison and The Mound Battery, Fort Fisher general A.H.Terrv 500 negro laborers Lamb began to for.-' the gravity ,of the situation anJ thel The time came, however, when the my nimseii against the attack whlen he knew to be forthcoming. In a few months, he had.constructed the largest and most, formidable earthwork In the Confederacy. It was made of heavy timbers covered by sand from, fifteen to twenty feet deep and sodded with turf. Although the work was pushed with the most desperate energy, the fort was far from complete when the attack was made. Its weakest point was on the land side. The sides ex posed to the sea were finished first, with the expectation that the Confed erate army at Wilmington would be able to prevent an investment. The Confederate leaders watched Colonel Lamb's preparation with the keenest interest. There was not a man among them who failed to comprehend importance attached to the fortress J attempt must be made. Two days be which was: growing stVorrrer every day. I fore Christmas, 1S64, the Federal land General Lee sent ivrrd to the plucky and.-se, forces were ordered to assume commandant iha'Ftirt, Fisher must -be held against alt edds arid vhat..lf it were captured -he could n. longer su'bsjst his army jn that part of tha country.- 'V The'Confedsrate authorities were not alone in- their belief that Colonel Lamb had made Fort Fisher practically im pregnable. Its fame had spread to all parts of the country, and the Federal authorities grew serious at the mention of it. The experience at the assault on Port Hudson, which was believed to be far less formidable llian Fort Fisher, and the double assault of Fort Wag ner, in which thousands of lives were sacrificed, had inspired a feeling of caution. the offensive against he fort. On the cfternoojnacf the holiday General God frey Weitzel, after a careful reconnois sance, reported to General Benjamin F. flutter, in command of the combined forces, that the fort could not be car ried, by assault. The Atlantic and gulf coasts being almost entirely in the pos session of the Federals, the navy de partment was able to concentrate be fore Fort Fisher a larger force than ever before had bean assembled under one command. It comprised a total of about sixty vessels, of which five were ironclads. This great fleet had kept up a terrific bombardment of the fort for two days without making any visible impression. A novel feature of this first attack was the explosion of a powder boat near the sea wall of the fort. An old gun boat was selected and prepared. Some of the naval men believed that the fort, with its garrison, guns and equipment, would be blown into the air. A crew of volunteers performed the perilous duty successfully. At midnight the mine loaded gunboat was steered against the wall, and, having applied the match, the crew rowed away safely to a swift steamer in waiting. The entire fleet had moved off shore under low steam, and all awaited the result with bated breath. Presently a glare on the hori zon and a dull report Indicated that the floating mine had been sprung. At daybreak the fleet steamed in, and ev ery eye was turned to the spot on which Fort Fisher had stood, but was expected to be standing no longer. There it -was, however, as grim as be fore and apparently uninjured, its flag floating as defiantly as ever. AltlKugh- ;General Butler was con vinced that the fort could not be taken by assault and at the close of the two days' .bombardment abandoned the project, the garrison realized that the position had been weakened materially by the constant and-raking fire from the fleet. The loss of life among the defenders of the fortress was slight, but some of the guns had been silenc ed and the defenses had been shattered. It seems that Admiral Porter did not wish to discontinue the attack, but General Butlerwas fearful of a repeti tion of Fort Hudson or Fort Wagner. The Federal authorities were greatly disappointed over the failure to reduce Fort Fisher. Naval men especially were bitter in their criticism of the commanding general's withdrawal of the troops. General Grant resolved to make another attempt under different management. The same force of land troops was chosen, and they were re enforced by two colored brigades. The whole was put- under the command of General Alfred H. Terry. Admiral Por ter was to assist the land attack of the army by an assault on the sea face of the fort with a body of seamen. Two thousand volunteers from the fleet reported for this perilous duty. On the' morning of Jan. 13 the Iron clads of Porter's fleet began to engage the fort. The monitors went close up to the works and poured in a destruc tive fire. In the afternoon the other vessels of the fleet got into action, and presently the weight of the fire was such that the garrison could make but a feeble reply. At nightfall the fleet hauled off, only the ironclads keeping up a slow fire during the night. This bombardment was kept up all next day. and much damage was done to the fort. It is asserted by prominent mili tary and naval men of the time that after the first attack the fort had been strengthened greatly, re-enforced by veteran troops and new defenses added. Colonel Lamb, the brave leader of the defense, who is still living at -Wilmington, declares that ne new works were added to the fort after the first attack and that there were never more than 1,900 men in it at any time. It was arranged that the great con certed effort should begin on the morn ing of the 15th. In pursuance of this plan such a storm of shell was poured into Fort Fisher as had never before been seen in any naval engagement. Before noon the signal was given, tor the assaulting column of sailors and marines to land. These men were arm ed with old fashioned cutlasses and pistols, and few of them knew how. to use. them. They had been confined on shipboard for months,! and "they looked upon the landing in the light of a lark. It turned out quite differently. The garrison waited until the. advancing columns were within easy range, and then the fort's batteries were let loose with fearful effect. Three hundred fell almost instantly, and the remainder beat a hasty retreat down the beach.;; But the fortress was doomed. It held out until nightfall and then fell into the hands of the attacking. forces. The bravery of its garrison stands unprece dented in the history of similar events. Many examples of Individual heroism are accredited to men on both sides. The hero of the first assault was Brig adier General Newton M. Curtis, who pushed his brigade. within a few hun dred yards of the works and captured a battery and all its men. At the final assault his bravery was equally con spicuous. His brigade led the assault ing column, and the general was wounded several times. Just before the stronghold fell the fragment of a shell destroyed his left eye. ELI STEVENSON. Ja mes Bryce;- We.w liiiiiassacf or to America GREAT BRITAIN is taking de cidedly a new departure in sending James Bryce to Washington as ambassador representing the empire. Mr. Bryce, when he assumes the ambassadorship, will be the first plain citizen to repre sent the British government at the cap ital of .this republic. Furthermore, he will be the first ambassador who is not a professional diplomat. Both these facts are of engaging interest. It may be taken for granted that they are gratifying facts to the majority of Americans, inasmuch as they seem to Indicate that Kngland thus desires to compliment our republican institutions. The popularity of Mr. Eryce in the United States already surpassed that of any other European perhaps, but his declination of a peerage offered him by the king after the government deter mined upon his appointment to the am bassadorship has greatly increased his popularity. He comes to America or plain Mr. Bryce. The British embassy at Washington will lose altogether that uura. uiKnuy oi distinction whinh th HLlll.ru. vra. 1.1 1 ii.il uuuiniv UcMS FIVPn IT in the estimation of some few people, but there can be no doubt that James Bryce will confer upon it a superior dignity growing out of the aristocracy of intellect. Mr. Bryce is one of the brainiest men in Europe. He was born, one might say, in a bookish atmosphere and cra dled in culture. Those things, however, did not retard his wider mental devel opment. His growth was not confined to library walls. He was too vigorous physically to stay shut up in colleges and libraries and too vigorous mental ly to study the world through what other men have said alone. Mr. Bryce knows the world pretty thoroughly, for he has been a globe trotter and a close observer. I He will tell you what the Transvaal farmer eats for breakfast and how his vrouw cooks it, and he will observe and make note of the style of hat worn by the leading lady of an Idaho village. He has written several works which loosely might be classed as books of travel, though they are so different from the ordinary book of that classi fication that some other description should be found for them. One of these books is "Impressions of South Africa," In which Mr. Bryce gives an amazing rmount of information. Another. 'Transcaucasia and Ararat, is notable far its wonderful description of the au thor's .feat of climbing to, the summit t AXUUlAb fWlMllMJJF ll.l.JUIllt U L. J be the second cradle of the human race. James Bryce was born sixty-eight years ago in Belfast, Ireland. He be longs to that sturdy stock which has figured so prominently in the develop ment of the United States, the Scotch Irish. His father was a clergyman of the Scotch Presbyterian church, from Glasgow, while his mother was a na tive of County Antrim, Ireland. Just here it is highly interesting ta note that Mr. Bryce's wife, to whom he was mar ried in 1889, Is the granddaughter of an American woman.

TO THE UNITED STATES. time and going into both the highwavs and the byways of our country, before he undertook to write. .For thirty years he had studied this country throue-h books and the press with the definite purpose of writing' "The American Commonwealth.""' In., his bGyhood he conceived a deep admiration for our institutions and an abiding belief in the ultimate triumph of the new ex periment in' government which is being made here. His investigations confirm ed these early impressions, and his work on the subject is regarded as the fairest presentation of American insti tutions ever produced by a foreigner. i This' work is a dissection of America. But Mr. Bryce did not approach his subject with a meat ax nor yet with a stiletto. He used the delicate instru ments of the trained surgeon, and for tunately It was the case of a surgeon operating upon a subject for which he entertained tender feelings. Conse quently the job. was not a butchery. The United States has not fared well at the hands of Europeans who have come over," scooted through the country In two Weeks or so and gone home to jeer and gibe from the lofty summits of their assumed superiority. James Bryce took the opposite viewpoint. He found America a passably decent coun try. In fact, he recognized many points of superiority to European nations, even to England. His was the first book on America which gave Europe a fair and square statement of our actu al conditions, an unbiased analysis of our institutions and an unprejudiced prophecy as to our probable future. Mr. Bryce believes in America. He treated the subject from the viewpoint of a man learned in history, in sociolo gy, in statecraft. Faults he found, of course. They are visible to the naked eye here at home. But he discovered so much good that he conferred a last ing benefit upon this country and plac ed the United States under perpetual obligation to him. Mr. Bryce does not suit Canada. He does not suit the average Briton. Wit ness this letter from a British subject in a New York paper of recent date: I am not surprised that Americans are shaking hands with themselves over the selection of Mr.. Bryce as British ambas sador. Permit me to say that I believe I am correct In assuming that many patriotic Britishers resent the appointment and have no confidence whatever in Mr. Bryce. I say that h? does not represent us or the national sentiment, being mere ly the appointee of a government which looks with a jaundiced eye on the legiti mate aspirations of a united empire. Mr. Bryce is pro-"Boer, pro-American, pro-everything." but not pro British a friend of "-every country but his own. pledged .to the disruption of the United Kingdom and hand iri-gtpve with those men whom Mr:!-Gladstone denounced as "marching through rapine to the dismem berment of the empire." Would America like to have been rep resented in London by the late Edward Atkinson of Boston? Do you think that he (Mr. Atkinson) would have command ed the confidence of the American people as United States ambassador? Well,, that is the way we loyalists look upon Mr. Bryce. You have probably noticed that the Canadian newspapers regard the appoint ment with cold disapproval. Yes, Canada has received the knotted end of the rope four times already, to our shame be it said. Sho feels that under Mr. Bryce sh is liable nay; it is "a cinch," in my opin ionthat she will get another dose should the opportunity arise. It is quite true, as our British friend points out, that Mr. Bryce stood for the rights of the Boers as against British encroachment, that he stands for an unprejudiced and unjaundiced recogni tion of America's good points as against the conventional British atti tude of looking down upon us from a dizzy height and that he is "pro-everything" that makes for progress and en lightenment. But he is not anti-British in any sense unless we accept the theo ry held in some instances that to be British means to despise American and other efforts toward the achievement of human liberty. In politics Mr. Bryce Is an advanced liberal. No doubt the gentleman' who wrote the foregoing letter is a cocksure Conservative. -There are partisan as perities in England as here, and one can pardon what appears to be a rath er excessive use of plain language. Mr. Bryce has stood strongly for home rule for Ireland. He has worked hard for the cause of popular education throughout Great Britain. He believes in the common people. That his atti tude In that respect is not that of a demagogue may be indicated by his "re fusal of the proffered peerage. In his private life Mr.. Bryce Is said to be a genial and agreeable gentleman. His one great recreation in his earli" days was mountain climbing. He ha-, scaled many towering peaks. For sonw years he was president ot the Alpine club. When he wanted a rest from his labors he would go off into some dis tant country and climb a peak 18,000 feet high. He thus obtained a wider outlook upon the world. That is the keynote of his life. With an ambassador at Washington who knows" America f pom center to cir cumference and from end to end, as James Bryce" knows ft,and who has studied ancient as weiras modern civ ilizations his "Holy Roman Empire" is another classic it may be in order to venture the opinion that the United States and Great Britain may be able to get together more readily on Cana dian and other disputes than they have been able to do under the ambassado rial administration of gentlemen' who follow diplomacy as a trade and whose chief distinction lies in their titles of conferred nobility.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ririrHnTi for the exclusive afternoon nnhlUaHnn In Tnrtfttrfl The news Is received In The State Jour nal building ever wires for this sole pur pose. Iowa appears to be trying to get Into the Mississippi class In the matter of lynching bees. r.mnr Horn's message was pretty long, but it takes a lot of epace to tell all about Kansas. Peace hath its calamities no less dreadful than war. Look at the rail road wrecks, for Instance. Having got the rest of the country Into a fuss, Brownsville Is now going Ahead with its Irrigation projects. Kansas people are not superstitious, Notice, for instance, how little fear thorn is of the "fatal Lane succes sion." The members of the legislature are evidently loaded with the usual num ber of bills that will find a safe resting place In some committee chairman's desk. Pretty socn it may be expected that carbolic acid will be crowded off the market by denatured alcohol as a means of going suddenly into the hence. If the pass had not been knocked oat. do you suppose that Oklahoma constitutional convention would have been so unanimous in favor of a two- cent fare? The- Sallna journal considerately extends the sympathy of that com munity to the large circle of bereaved widows of the Shah. Perhaps they are to be congratulated. It would be pretty difficult to con vlnce President Corey that love affairs and steel affairs have anything in common. At least Mr. Corey proposes to keep his separate. It looks as though the legislature proposes to go ahead and pass some local bills Just as though the constitu tional amendment intended to stop that sort of thing did not pass. George Gould had not got through giggling about Harriman being called on to explain, when Mr. Hadley sud denlv asked Mr. Gould. "Why is a merger?" Who'll be the next? Mr. Curtis declared during the campaign that the Union Pacific de feated him for senator in 1903. Per haps the Union Pacific only tried to square thinys this year by making Curtis senator. One lynching party begets another. A mob of "respectable citizens" lynch ed a man in Iowa a few days ago, and within 4S hours another mob in the same state had started out with the same purpose. The magazines are trying to tell all about Harriman these days, but there appear to be some things that the magazines do not know. Judging by recent discloures before the Interstate Commerce committee. A Chicago professor, the author of a work on political history and a close student of political affairs, is a candi date for alderman in that city. But what does a student of political affairs know about dealing out ward Jobs? It Is reported from Washington that a systematic attack is to be made on President Roosevelt by certain inter ests in order to undermine his popu larity. Let's see: Were not "certain interests" planning to haze LaFollette some time ago? That was sort of an April fool Joke the senate played on the supreme court. First it sat down summarily on the proposition to raise the court's wages, and the next day it granted the Increase just as though it had meant to all the time. Little old Lane county, away out in western Kansas, is doing its share in shaping the laws of Kansas. Speaker Simmons is the second presiding of ficer of the house who has come from that county. The first was Charles E. Lobdell, now judge of the district court In that district. In speaking of the Copeland county mill, Charlie Blakesley Imagines a short-grass statesman pointing out the scenery to a friend from home, and the statesman talks like this: "See that tall fellow over there the one with the glasses, talking to the man with a gray Vandyke? That's Bill White, talking to Charley Curtis. Bill Is gen erally regarded as Curtis' spokesman. That fat man over there stroking his fccard is old Joe Bristow. Quick look at the small man just getting Into the elevator. That's Mark Low, the gen eral passenger agent of the Rock Island. He's a great factor In Third district politics. Wish you could have met him; he's always got a J funny story for everybody. I saw Lieutenant Governor Fitzsibbona here a few min utes ago, but I guess he's gone out. Yonder Is Dave Mulvane. Curtis made him assistant postmaster or some thing. That pale, meek little man over there by the radiator is Henry Allen." And so on, all of which great ly pleases the man-from-home. He is gratified to have seen with his own eyes so man;- famous folk. SENATOR CVRTIS. Kansas people who have had an idea that the railroads do not largely dominate the present legislature must now change their opinion. This was evidenced by the ease with which the railroad interests nominated Charles Curtis for United States senator in the Republican Senatorial caucus last night. For it was the railroads, combined with Senator Long and, in the wind up, Cyrus Leland, that nominated Mr. Curtis. The compact which was re ported months ago between Senator Long and Mr. Curtis, was evidently carried out, notwithstanding repeated denials, and all the strength the rail road influences could muster was lined up for the First district congressman. But notwithstanding the influences that nominated him, it was a strong speech that Mr. Curtis made to the caucus after his nomination last night. He promised to stand by President Roosevelt, for railroad regulation, and for the interests of the people general ly. "If," said Mr. Curtis, "you find me at any time voting against the in terests of the people, I will willingly turn back my commission." The new senator Is energetic. He is a hard worker and he "gets things." This is the secret of his strong per sonal following, for that he has a strong personal following can not be doubted. He has before him magnificent opportunities for serving the people. The people of Kansas can but accept his assurances in good faith and hope for the best. A SATURDAY SERMON. Vanity of vanities; all is vanity. Eo clesiastes 1:2. After all, what does It amount to? 'What does It profit a man to win in politics and lose the good opinion of his neighbors and his own self-respect? The strife, the treachery, the Jealous ies, the back-biting, the deceit, the venality, the sham, the pretense, all are disgusting to the man with lofty ideas of public service the man who believes in honor and honesty and fidelity to those who have chosen him to represent them. The play for a little petty power. the sacrifice of one's self-respect in or der to curry favor with those In au thority, are enough to make one doubt the. common sense of the man who has his head turned by the thirst for the bauble fame. No man Is honored by elevation to office unless he himself honors the office. The county attorney who per slstently does his duty isa greater man than the congressman or governor who is a mere figure-head. Joseph W. Folk as district attorney of St. Louis, was a far greater man than the man who was then governor of his state, whose name has already been forgotten by the writer hereof. William Travers Jerome, as long as he persisted in do ing his duty without fear or favor, was a far greater man than was any Congressman in the state of New York, and it wa only when he began to tem porize with the insurance wrong-doers that he lost his greatness. Joseph L. Bristow, chosen by two presidents to uproot graft in the government, was far greater in the eyes of the people than the cabinet official with whose de partment ha was connected. Victor Murdock on the trail of abuses and wrongs which older congressmen are too stupid or indolent or cowardly to attack, looms head and shoulders above such congressmen. Robert M. La Follette, standing for the people of Wisconsin as against the corporations, was a far greater man as governor than was John C. Spooner as United States senator from the same state, although Senator Spooner was counted as one of the big men of the senate. In the history of California Rudolph Spreckles, private citizen, will go down in history as far greater than the entire corrupt gang of high officials that he is now devoting his influence. his time, and his wealth to uproot. Paul, a prisoner in a Roman dungeon, is to day counted greater than Nero, seated on the throne of the Caesars and ruling the world. Greatness comes from within, not without. Office and power do not make a man great; It is how he fills the office and exercises his power. A fool might be elevated to office but he would still be a fool, and the man who is puffed with pride because his fellow-citizens have given him a little brief authority in selecting him as a public servant should not glory until he has proved himself worthy of the trust and re sponsibility reposed in him. So what does a man gain by a little brief success If in order to get it, he betrays his own conscience and sacrifi ces the good opinion of those who trust ed him? It 4s only for a little time. In a few years, at best, "life's fitful fever" will be over and only a memory will re main. So why should the sane, well- balanced man sacrifice truth, and In tegrity, and self-respect, and the right to look his neighbor In the eye like a man, for a little brief glory and politi cal success? It is only the foolish man who does such things. So It all goes back to the proposition that no man is honored by a position unless he himself by his conduct, hon ors the position. J. R. Burton would have been far better off today had he never been elected United Statfi sen ator. He dishonored his office instead of honoring it. A man came to the Kansas legisla ture not so very many years ago to contest the seat of his fusion opponent. who had won the election by a narrow margin. It is reported that a candidate for senator had financed his campaign and hence claimed him as his chattel. But opposition Interests secured his seat for him in some way rumor had it that a mortgage had been paid off somewhere in the deal by somebody. At any rate he had sold his independ ence to both sides in return for a seat in the legislature for fifty days. Of course he could not deliver the goods to both sides. His perfidy became man! fest. In two weeks" time he was de spised by his fellow members of all fac tions, and when he went home he was shunned by his neighbors and event ually moved away. The great man is he who stands by his own conscience and maintains his Integrity above everything else. THE APOSTASY OF LELAND. One of the most remarkable features of the senatorial caucus was the post tion taken by Cyrus Leland. He led the movement on the fourth ballot that made Curtis the nominee. It is not sur prising that his vote in favor of Curtis was answered by a hiss from some one in the lobby. Mr. Iceland's friends poo- hooed the suggestion that the veteran politician and political boss would ever vote for Curtis. They said that such a contingency was not possible. For years Leland has been the relentless enemy of Curtis. Ever since the Horton agree- ment was made and violated Leland has taken the position that Curtis was not the kind of a man to hold any pub lic office. He showered the Shawnee county representative with every In vective that the mind of man could suggest; he held him up to ridicule as a -nan who would violate every pledge and who was not faithful to his friends; he declared boldly that he was actuated by a spirit of self aggrandizement in his dealings with the Indians and that thj actuating motive in all his public acts was selfishness; he held him up as the friend and supporter of Burton con victed of betraying his country while a United States senator; he asserted that he was the tool of the railroads and th servant of the corporations. Therefore it was natural that the leaders of the anti-Curtis forces were .skeptical when told that Leland would jbe for Curtis. It seemed Incredible, im possible. Curtis was supported by near ly every political enemy of Leland in the senate and his friends were in the other camps. Then why should he have been -urprised when one of his former friends gave utterance to a hiss when he announced his vote for Curtis? It was largely because he stood fot Leland that J. T. Pringle was ham mered so unmercifully succeeding the legislature four years ago. It was largely because of his friendship for Leland and the election of Long that Governor Bailey was sacrificed to the fury of the boss busters, which included Curtis' crowd Tom Kelly, D. W. Mul vane and all of the old Burton follow ing. Last night Leland joined Long, who in the meantime had turned against him, and together they aided Curtis' friends in once more sacrificing Bailey. The apostasy of Leland will go down in the history of the state as one oi the most remarkable political para doxes on record. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish says if a wo man is careful she can dress on $5,000 a year. Naturally Mrs. insn JiKes to De in the swim. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis says we need more poets. Not around here, wo don't. Somebody else can have any that's coming to us. There are very few editors among those who came to Topeka to help elect a senator. The few who did come had the unusual experience of paying cash to ride on the railroads. It Is all right for Governor Hoch to abolish the high school fraternities in his message if he wants to; we will let him "sic" the legislature on to them. But let him beware of attacking the old-time kissing parties such as we used to have in our district school days. The people have some rights that they will defend. J A YHA WKER JOTS There is, declares the Emporia Ga zette, in a determined resolve to tell the truth at all costs, though the heav ens fall, this to say about the elec tion of J. S. Simmons: He has th most votes. The probate judge of Allen county has been holding his job for fourteen years and has issued over 3,000 marriage licenses. Does he know what percent age of the users have stayed married? Fort Scott is to have municipal own ership of its electric lights. Hard experience related by the Staf ford Republican: The unlucky editor sat up after hours to do the subject Justice; he described in words that fairly floated the bride and her trous seau; he made your mouth water in describing the refreshments, and made every one who had contributed feel like a millionaire when reading the descrip tions and lists of presents. He wound It all up in as pretty a word picture as you ever read, and wrote of the Joy at tending the affair. The compositor set it up "Jay," and the next day one of the editor's best friends who lived on R. F. D. No. 6 took it as personal and came In and stopped his paper and threatened to mop the floor with the editor. Atchison Globe: Everyone remem bers the contrast between the congress man in office, and the same man after he has lost his position. When Hon. Lysander John Appleton was in con gress he was well groomed, well fed, and had plenty of money. He didn't personally clamor for a raise in his sal ary, but he induced fool newspaper re porters to write pieces saying he (Ap pleton) could make a great deal more money in private business. Appleton was finally defeated for re-election, "and defeat almost broke his heart. He re turned to Atchison, and became a town loafer. Storekeepers almost felt like ordering him out of their places, he became such a nuisance. He has not earned fifty dollars since he complained so bitterly of receiving only $5,000 for four months' work. JOURNAL ENTRIES KANSAS COMMENT A GOOD NAME.

There is not a single sentence In a single one of his messages to congress that holds a single one of the so-called "principles" announced in the Republican national platforms. On the contrary, the text of them sounds very much as if it might have been taken bodily from the Democratic and Populist platforms of years ago, for the president is standing up for the very things for which these folks have been laughed at by his party.

RICHES. Ten years ago our yearly production of coal was 170,000,000 tons, and we thought it a heap. Last year we mined 400,000,000 tons. In 1896 we produced 8,600,000 tons of pig iron. Last year we nroduced 25.000.000 tons. Our copper output ten years ago was 240,000,000 pounds. It is now W),uw,wu pounas. In 1896 we dragged from the bowels of the earth minerals and mineral sub stances worth about $625,000,000. The value of our mineral product in 1906 ap proximated 2,000.000,000.

I never saw an advertisement which balanced so tidily with one's qualifications 'Wanted, services of a capable young woman for few hours daily. Must be well educated, have pleasant manners, a gift for conver sation, and make a good appearance. No experience necessary, but large acquaintance desirable. Apply to the Interborough Realty Co., street. Now, I have the education behold my diploma from Madame Colling wood's select school. Thanks to my bringing up by the best aunt in the world, I have the reputation of being well mannered: I am considered chat ty without being a bore; my new tail ored suit gives me the good appear ance demanded. Certainly I have no experience, but a lot of acquaint ances." Mrs. Graham mopped her eyes dili gently. I can not bear to tmnk or you a Graham of Graham Center, going into business. Now. there are my cameos cameos are in style again, Beth The irl laid a slender white hand over her aunt's trembling lips and spoke with sternness not entirely af fected. "Aunty, dear, never again speak in that way of our precious family heir looms. So long as they are in the safe deposit vault I shall feel that the Gra ham honor Is saved. I Intend to an swer that advertisement." An hour later the secretary of the Interborough Realty company looked with relief into the fresh, highbred face of the last of the Graham Center Grahams, who. thanks to the collapse of the bank, was looking for a nositton in which experience was not demanded. The secretary pf the com pany, like all men of .-fcis class, ques tioned the girt so cleverly that, she had told the story' of her inexperience and needs long before he unfolded the re quirements of the position. Then he leaned back in his chair and re marked: "I think you'll do, Miss Graham. We have plotted ninety acres on the Chester turnpike, and we're going to boom the site as the Hollingworth Terrace. We've got the Transit Con struction company interested in the deal, and they will build houses on the Installment plan. We have some wide awake chaps on the ground, but we are planning a series of excursions, and we think a bright woman with a gift of saying the right thing at the right minute could put through many a sale, particularly with men. Now, such work is generally done on a com mission basis, but you re rather up against it, and we'll pay you fifteen dollars a week and expenses, and give you a month to make good." He touched an electric button and said to the answering boy: "Send in Mr. Langhorne. He's the working head of the Transit Construc tion company, and a promising young man. You'll probably have consider able dealing with him. Mr. Langhorne, this is Miss Graham. She's going to help us out at Hollingworth Terrace." And thus with a sweeping gesture did the secretary of the Interborough Realty company settle Beth Graham's entrance into the business world. Fifteen dollars a week! Why, they would have to let even Emma the cook go. She would probably wear out many shoes, too, tramping over Hol linworth Terrace and then a mellow masculine voice broke in upon her re flections and she found a very good looking young man, with Irish blue eyes that smiled right Into hers, stand ing at attention, some pamphlets in his hand. "Perhaps you would like to look over some of our literature before you Join us on the first excursion tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" echoed Beth. It seeniffd so dreadfully near, this earning of daily bread for herself and Aunt Ellen. But she smiled and accepted the books. Half an hour later it seemed to her as if Hollingworth Terrace mu3t be a sort of Paradise for small-salaried people, and that she, In selling homes to them, would be a veritable angel of mercy. The next day sne reit airrerentiy. ana first excursion was not exactly a suc cess. Tne air was neavy witn mist, and Hollingworth Terrace seemed a wilderness of surveyors, steam rollers. sewer pipes and tired teams, dragging great loads of building materials through unfinished streets. In one of the half-finished houses a colored man served hot coffee and sandwiches to the few excursionists who had braved the elements, but no deals were consummated. After the bus had taken the few visitors back to tne sta tion. Beth, seated on a plaster's horse. studied critically the tiny reception hall, while Langhorne, perched on a window seat, studied the girl and wondered why some women looked smart and trig even in a cravenette coat ana a son ten nat. 'These early spring aays are so un certain," she was saying, "i wisn tnere was a fireplace In that corner. You could Just as well build one. for the chimney runs up there from the parlor. Then we'd have a snapping, sparkling fire that would make the whole house seem charming. I believe we'd make a sale, rain or shine." "But the fireplace would add to tn cost of the houses," said Langhorne, doubtfully. "And make prospective customers overlook some other defects in your houses. I noticed you have no back stairs. Now every suouroan nousewue likes separate stairs for her one ser vant. She is much more punctilious in such matters than the city housekeep er." 'Eh what?" exclaimed jangnome. curiously. "Yes; and you snouia nave utnizea that wasted space for a closet for rub ber coats, umbrellas, overshoes, etc. A woman will fall for a couple of con venient closets when stained glass windows and artistic tiling are lost upon her." Langhorne was all attention now. "I didn't suppose that a city girl would notice things ao closely." l began life in a village," said Betn, quietly. "Besides, if I am to help you sell these places I must believe in them, and I can not believe in them unless they are right." Before the next excursion day rolled around Beth had examined every house under way and her suggestions for small alterations that would ap peal to the feminine mind were re ceived with respect. Furthermore, all plans for new houses were brought to her before the work was commenced. Hollingworth Terrace became the center around which everything mov ed, and Aunt Ellen studied plans and offered suggestions to young Lang horne, who had taken to bringing drawings to the cosy Graham flat. So far, simple cottages costing $5,000 or less had been erected. Now they were planning more ambitious residences and plotting the most valuable site of their holdings, a broad knoll that over looked the river and surrounding country. Here, in the heart of a culster of pines, was to be a house of old Eng lish design, with high gables, sloping roof and quaint Interior finish. Beth watched those plans grow with jealous care. She selected the timbers for fin ishing the ceiling of the reception hall. living room and dining room. The fireplaces she and Langhorne design ed from pictures of English country houses. The excursions were heavily patronised now. Sales were made while Beth's back was turned. Hollingworth Terrace was booming beyond the fondest hopes of Its founders. Beth often came in from her calls on prospective customers to ask anxiously, "Has the Lodge been taken?" They had named the house of their own planning the Lodge, nothing more, and somehow she felt that she should hate the man who bought It. One night when Langhorne dropped In to call he did not look her in the eye. He talked about any and every subject but Hollingworth Terrace, and Beth knew that the Lodge had been sold.

Phillips Oppenheim, Author of "The Malefactor." whom he comes in contact. The plot is unfolded with a skill that endows the story in a peculiar degree with the ele ments which make a popular success. Indeed, for sheer interest and fasci nation "The Malefactor" surpasses any thing Mr. Oppenheim has hitherto writ ten. A work likely to become practically a national textbook on all matters relat ing to American flags is Peleg D.

A sequel to "Mr. Barnes of New "Fork," by Archibald Claverlng Gunter, is announced by Dodd, Mead Co. It bears the title "Mr. Barnes, Ameri can," and will be illustrated by B. Mar MRS. BOWSER'S STORY. She Tells Why Mr. Bowser Left Home. (By M. Quad.) We had just finished dinner and re turned to the sitting room the other evening when the cook came upstairs and said there was a boy at the base ment door with a gallon jug. Mr. Bowser promptly went down to see about it, and a few minutes later an nounced to me: sent me over. Ever since I called him a robber last year he has done everyr. thing to deserve my good opinion." "But what is it?" I asked. "You know he has a farm out in the country. His brother-in-law runs it. They dig all kinds of roots and gather all kinds of barks and make what they call an Elixer of Life. It is a jug of the last brew they have sent me over. Come on down and have a taste." "I am not in need of a tonic." "You may not think you are, but one can't tell about those things. I've had a sort of rash for the last week, and this is just the stuff to take it awav." "I shouldn't take anything of the kind unless ordered by the doctor. It's funny that you haven't said any thing about your rash up to just now." "Mrs. Bowser, don't use that tone in speaking to me," he said, as he flush ed up. "In the first place, I guess I can have a rash without shouting the fact all over town, and in the next I was waiting to see whether it would grow worse or go away. I should have gone to the drug store this even- Jng if this Elixir hadn't come. Ah, it's good stuff. It goes right to the spot. The plumber began using this twenty years ago, when everybody predicted that he wouldn't live a year. Inside of a year he had gained thirty pounds and his yells could be heard a mile. He has a list of over thirty people that it has drawn back from the grave. You won't have any, eh? Well, if you like to have your dry bones rattle as you walk about that's your affair. I think I'll take another small sip." Just then the front bell upstairs rang, and I went up to find Mrs. Brown's boy with a message from his mother, who" was ill. She wanted me to come over for awhile, and I left Mr. Bowser seated in his chair and reading the pa per. It was three hours before I re turned, and he was not to be found in the house. On the table, however, he had left a memorandum or diary of the events of those hours, and I here give it verbatim: "Plumber sends me a gallon of Elixir to cure my rash and brace me up.Snoke of my rash, to Mrs. Bowser and she an swered sarcastically.

Everybody who cares for a good laugh and all those who love dogs will wel come Walter Emauuel's "The Dogs of War" which may be described as the humorous biography of two dogs of marked individuality. In this work the author and artist who created "A Dog Day" and "A Gay Dog" have collabor ated again and produced their most amusing book. The story begins at the floppiest stage of their puppyhood and carries them to a more or less sedate old age. It Is an imimltable history in which text and illustrations fit like hand and glove. The book is published by the Scrlbners. Three new volumes of French history are announced by the J. B.

In a recent interview she told a reporter that she wrote 1,000,000 words in the first year she composed for publication, and she claimed ability to write in legible longhand 1,000 words an hour. Her claim on public recognition as a writer of humorous future stories, however, rests on '"Susan Clegg and Her Friend Mrs. Lathrop," and her other "Susan Clegg" stories. Of these stories the New York Times says, "Her 'Susan Clegg' stories, rich in pungent humor and extremely clever in their portrayal of quaint and amusing character, de serve a place among the choice speci mens of American humorous literature which means the best humorous liter ature in the world." The January Bookman contains the opening chapters of the new Maurice Hewlett serial, "The Stooping Lady." Dodd, Mead Co. will issue it in book form in the fall. Ernest Ingersoll's new story, "Eight Secrets," published by Macmlllan, is dedicated "To the Ninth Secret." The delightful story throws no light on this cryptic reference, and Mr. Ingersoll is already receiving letters demanding that he write another book to elucidate the mystery. "Sea Power in Its Relations to the War of 1812," the latest work by Capt. A. T. Mahan, U. S. N. (retired), was commended by President Roosevelt in his message to congress. Although the president refrained from mentioning the title of the book, in speaking of the value of a navy as guarantor of peace, he urged the study of our country's failures, adding: "For this purpose, nothing could be more instructive than a rational study of the War of 1812, as it is told for instance by Capt. Mahan." It will be remembered that President Roosevelt's own history of the War of 1812 appears in its rewritten and definite form in volume VII of Sir Wil liam Laird Clowes' history of "The Royal Navy." Capt. Mahan has been urged to undertake the task of writing an authentic history of the American navy. "Who's who" for 1907 has Just ap peared, bigger and better in many ways than ever before.

(Copyright 1907 by P. C. Eastment.) THE riXE STREET CASE. (By M. Quad.) Inspector Jackson, who had charge of the Pine street case, said that its solving was the easiest problem he had had in detective work for fifteen years. At No. 17 Pine street, on tho third floor, was the office of Samuel Gold stein, the money-lender. All sorts of people came to him, including many young men who had gone the pace and found themselves dead-broke. Mr. Goldstein had the reputation of being a man without pity. When his pound of flesh was duo he wanted it and would have it or ruin his debtor. In ten years he was the cause of more than a dozen resignations from the British army and navy. During the same time he "broke" almost a score of young men who might have pulled through had he but been a bit lenient. One afternoon at three o'clock a customer called at the office to find tho moneylender dead in his chair. He had been shot through the head. The office boy had been given a half holi day, and the Jew was alone in his of fice. The case was given to Inspector Jackson, and it began to unfold from the first first. It was not a case of gradually been dropped in the inter est of space, and are now to be found along with other similar material in ths separate book called "Who's Who Year-Book." The very large additions of American names make the book in creasingly valuable for this country. Two new books that will delight the booklover are fine editions of "The Complete Angler" and "The Vicar of Wakefield," issued by the Caradoc Press of London, and handled in this country by the J. B. Lippincott Co. They are reprinted from the original editions; printed In large and beauti ful type on Kelmscott paper; and decorated with wood-cut ornaments and etchings, and headings and notes in red. They are medium octavo in size, and handsomely bound, and such reprints of these old classics as it is a delight to handle and own. There seems little reason to doubt that the books emanating from the Caradoc Press will ultimately attain a place in the esteom of true booklovers fully equal to that held by the Vale and Klemscott issues, Dolores Bacon,' the author of "Old New England Churches" has had an ex tremely interesting career. She was born in Kansas, and studied music in Paris. Subsequently, she became a member of Frank Mayo's company. She left the stage, however, to become Paris correspondent for the New York World. She has written a number of plays, and is also the author of "A King's Divini ty," "Crumbs and His Times," "Songs Every Child Should Know," etc. She is now making her home at Yonkers. Striking names for articles of mer chandise are constantly In demand, "Hid the success of a new breakfast food, toothpowder or novel depends nowadays largely upon the genius be hind the name. It appears that imita tion enters into commercial nomen clature as into other branches of busi ness. Soon after Meredith Nicholson's novel, "The House of a Thousand Candles," was launched, a railway paraphrased the name to suit its own needs as "The Road of a Thousand Wonders." Two candy manufacturers in widely separated cities have lately been advertising "The House of a Thousand Candies." A well known summer resort hotel has proclaimed itself far and wide "The House of a Thousand Delights." Mr. Nicholson's good luck as a maker of phrases has suicide. No pistol, was found in the room. A fellow-tenant had seen a young man leave the office ten min utes before the murder was discovered, and was able to give a good description of him. The inspector's theory was that someone whom Goldstein was squeezing had called in reference to his indebtedness, .and, being refused longer time, had become desperate and resorted to murder.; He went among the clubs with, the description he had secured, and within three days he had his man. t John '..Ha'rburger, son of a wealthy widow, jbut who had become estranged from his mother on account of his-extra.yagaoss, was the party ar rested. He was known to be nard. up. He ,WM- kribwn tto have borrowed money from the Aw. and it was sus pected that he had forged an accept ance and was in danger of being sent to prison. It was" known that he in tended to see Goldstein the day of the murder, and that he was armed and desperate. In fact, when arrested, he did not deny that he had visited No. 7. While the murder was committed in the heart of London, Harshburger was found and arrested in a town a hun dred miles away. The first stens were easy for the in spector. The second bothered him some. Harburjjer admitted that he had called. Headmitted that hewas armed. He had paid a portion of his indebted ness, and the money-lender had taken his note without endorsement for the balance. He had the old one with him as proof. After leaving Pine street he had received a letter from a man in business in the town where he was ar rested, and had accepted the offer of a place. He had had to sell his re volver to raise the money to pay his fare down. He had not seen a London HE MiOr RFPM SHOT through the head. paper for three or four days, and knew nothing of the murder. He had left the office in the best of spirits, and the Shylock had even wished him well. The new note was not found among Goldstein's papers, but, as an offset to that, many other notes were missing. The man to whom the revolver was sold was found. All the chambers of the weapon were loaded. It was claimed that the prisoner had cleaned the one he discharged before selling the arm. The letter was produced. and the writer swore that he wrote it. but the inspector got over this by calling it a "coincidence." He had what he called a solid case against Harburger when the day of trial came on, and only one thing saved the prisoner from the gal lows. It was proved that he had had epileptic fits, and that there were oc casions when he was not responsible for his actions. Taking this into con sideration, the judge mercifully sent enced him to prison for life. Accord ing to the press an the public, there was not the slightest doubt of the guilt of the accused. There were sev eral "coincidences" lh his favor, but the prosecutor for' the Crown swept them aside as so much rubbish. .When Harburger reached prison he followed him in the title of. his new romance now running as a serial in the Reader Magazine and announced for publication in the spring, "The Port of Missing Men.". He recently received in good faith a check for a handsome sum from a great canning factory in western New York asking him to name a new "line" of fancy pickles. an offer which he declined for the reason, as he wrote the presi dent of the company, that he was afraid of making himself liable under the pure food law. The Harpers have Just published new editions of The Call of the Blood and Sophy of Kravonia, and also an other edition of The Awakening of Helena Richie, which is in steady de mand. The fullness of anecdote which marks Frederick Trevor Hill's "Lincoln the Lawyer," published by the Century company, is being noted with favorable comment by many reviewers. They are anecdotes which help to show the human side of the great man and how he reached fame through hard work and conscientious service. One of many stories in the book relates how Lincoln used for probably the first time a phrase that afterward became famous. Lincoln was attending court on the circuit when the news of the repeal of the Missouri comporomlse reached him. Judge Dickey, one of his fellow practitioners, was sharing his room at a local tavern. He stated that Lincoln sat on the edge of his bed and discussed the political situation far into the night. At last Dickey fell asleep, but when he awoke in the morning Lincoln was sitting up in bed deeply absorbed in thought. "I tell you, Dickey," he observed, as if continuing the argument of the previous evening, "this nation cannot exist half slave and half free." In all the legislation and litigation brought about by the trusts, the need has been strongly felt of a concise and accurate definition of monopoly. Pro' bably the accepted legal definition for some time to come will be that recently adopted by the United States supreme court, in an opinion rendered bv Mr. Justice McKenna. and first enunciated by Professor Richard T. Ely in his book on "Monopolies and Trusts," published by Macmillan. It Is not often that a theoretical book comes so soon to have such a marked influence unon the in terpretation of the most fundamental ideas or our law. did not claim to be an lnnnrpnt man. When he came to talk with the chap lain he made no such claim. When he fell ill and the prison doctor spoke K.muiy io mm ne made no protesta tions. He fell Into the routine of pri son life and made no sign. The state ment was made by Goldstein's son that a score of notes were mlssine- from his father's strong-box. As Harburger's new note was among them, it was be lieved that he had grabbed up the package after shooting the.-, money lender. It was asked why he should kill and rob-the man after things had been fixed to his satisfaction, but the answer was that he lied. No note had Deen given. No pity had been shown. When two years had passed Inspec tor Jackson resigned from the yard, and set up a private agency. Perhaps it was a "coincidence" that he took rooms at No. 18 Pine street, directly opposite the scene of murder. He fur nished offices on the third floor. He could lock riht across the street and see the very spot where Goldstein was sitting when shot. The inspector had the reputation of always having his eyes about him. but he" had occupied his rooms six weeks before he saw something that he should have seen in side of five minutes. It was a bullet holn in one of the front windows. When he had inspected it and won dered over it he looked across the street with a glass, and saw a corre sponding hole in a window in Gold stein's former offices. It was exactly on lino with the hole in his own. When he had climbed to the other offices, the new tenant of the rooms let him sit in a certain place. He found the bul let holes on line with his head, and he looked still more troubled as he went downstairs. Then, first thing was to hunt up the former occupants of the inspector's offices. They were found to be a cop pie of stage machinists. On a certain day a revolver had been accidentally fired from a front window, and the bullet had penetrated the pane, but its further flight had not worried them. The inspector was still think ing matters over when there came to him from a paper mill in a distant town, as the man who had had charge of the Harburger case, a package of promissory notes twenty-three in all. Among them was Harburger's. It was the new note he said he had given, and had told the truth about. The others had belonged to young men who had been very careful not to notify the police that they were Indebted to the money-lender. With the information at hand, the inspector did the manly thing. It was plain that Harburger had called and adjusted the affair. He had been seen going out. A few minutes later the ac cidental shot from No. 18 had killed the money-lender. Another caller ap peared and found him dead and took the package of notes from his hand and descended the stairs unseen. He had perhaps found his own among them p.nd destroyed it. The others had been thrown away to find themselves in some ragbag at last. It took a year to accomplish it. but Inspector Jack son finally brought the convicted mur derer out of prison and rehabilitated him. and though he may live many years he will look back upon it as the best deed of his life. When he found himself in the wrong he admitted it, and set about doing the right thing. (Copyright, 1907, by J. W. Muller.) HOMETOWX IIAPPEXIXGS.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY JTIGET. jJfjjffi Sport s Hygp6( N the child story books of people who are now grown was the de scription of a fairy ice palace built centuries ago for a great em press of Russia. By day its crystal walls glittered like one huge, dazzling, scintillating diamond in the rays of the sun, which were reflected from the ice In myriads of rainbow colored shafts. At night the palace was Illuminated with a thousand lamps, making the scene if possible even more splendid than in daytime. Water colored green, red and yellow was frozen Into various decorative shapes to adorn and give brilliancy to the structure. :The empress' ice palace was consid ered so wonderful that it was thought worthy of a record in history, and that is how we come to know about it. A famous English poet was inspired b its novelty and beauty to write some verses about it, and these, too, have been handed down to our utilitarian generation. t In the line of winter diversions the erection of that Ice palace was the greatest thing which ever happened in those days. Who could predict then, however, that in the centuries to come plain North Americans, Canadians and Yankees would not only equal the Rus sian ice enterprise, but go it at least ten better that, too, without half try ing? Within the past twenty years ice palaces have been built in Quebec, in Montreal, in St. Paul, at Niagara and on Saranac lake, beside which the Rus sian affair was a mere tallow dip light ed shanty. Our ice palaces are illumi nated by electricity, and those who make merry within their walls are whirled thither in sumptuous automo biles. Next thing we'll be sailing to an evening's entertainment in the ice pal ace in an airship, each of us in his or her own private conveyance. f recent years the numerous wealthy winter campers in ihe Adirondacks oc casionally hold an ice carnival there. They say it is more fun in the Adiron dacks in winter than in summer after you get used to it. The chief festivities take place at Saranac lake, the popular winter resort. There gather annually hundreds of hunters from all over the country. Hundreds of hapless mortals, IT'S a great mistake to try to cure a girl of self assurance. It may be a trifle unpleasant at times to feel that one's daughter knows it all. It may be also delightful to see her "come a cropper" because she went on ahead without the advice of her elders, but most of us forget one thing We have learned mighty little from advice and a precious lot from expert snce. Advice? Bah! We all of us ask it, out how many of us follow it? And :an't we remember that at least two ut of the three times we followed It are were sorry afterward? At least if you lose from following ut your own ideas you learn some :hing, and often if you, win from follow jig other people's instructions you are so wiser than you were before and wouldn't be able to do the same stunt ver again to save your souL Then there is another point worth ;onsidering for one woman who has Che ability to decide for herself in this world there are fifty others who can't make a move without consulting their uncles and their cousins and their iunts. So you can see for yourself that self assurance is a valuable asset and cot one to be nipped lightly in the bud. I could give you a dozen Instances sffband where women have lost most valuable opportunities through inabili ty to decide quickly through lack of ielf assurance, of confidence in them lelves. t at It seems to me if I had a daughter lie first thing I would teach her would e to think for herself, to reason out 'seamed the art of setting stone. ler own plan of action and to depend n herself. Then if she became a trifle "cocky" and self assertive because of :his at. times I would try to stand it, snowing that it would wear out as she too, who fear the germs of fatal disease have fastened on them, go to Saranac lake for the winter to find if haply 20 to 40 below zero may not freeze the poison germs out of them. At Saranac dwell many of the guides, and these swell the population. Besides all these, hundreds more stay in Saranac all win ter through sheer enjoyment of the cold which makes the fur clad individual's blood tingle in his veins, the cold which brings sleigh riding, skating, toboggan ing, skeeing, ice hockey and ice boat ing well, come to think, there are more winter sports than summer ones. The Pontlac club has charge of winter gayeties at Saranac that again quite dwarf any ice shows' of the old time. There wasn't any skating by red and green incandescent lights at the Rus sian ice palace rink. At Saranac the winter through there is a large skating rink kept in perfect order night and day. An ice fort was a feature of one of the ice shows. It was built of huge blocks of ice cut from the lake and ce mented together with snow. Gay flags not only of the United States, but of all nations, waved from its glittering bat tlements. i Ice hockey matches are always a fea ture of the Adirondack winter colony's sports. At. times a Canadian hockey club crosses the border and shows its skill to players on this side. During the season, too, there is always a fancy dress skating party on the rink. Some times as many as 300 skaters, dressed as knights, cowboys, Indians, puritan maidens, gypsies and ladies of the olden time, make night merry over the dark lake with their songs, laughter and bright costumes. Tobogganing is a favorite winter sport in the Adirondacks as elsewhere in America, but it has never reached such development here as in the En gadine in Switzerland. It is one of the most fascinating of all winter sports, but sometimes attended with a little danger. That makes it all the more at tractive however. The colony of foreign residents, large ly English, at St. Morltz, in the Enga dine, have brought tobogganing to per fection. John Addington Symonds, the English author, spent many winters there, and his interest in the sport brought about its development. A spe cial toboggan track has been made. A Symonds silver cup is annually com peted for by men toboggan racers. There is also an annual ladies' contest, and the women have attained a skill little short of that exhibited by the best men. A speed of forty to fifty miles an hour is frequently reached in these per ilous downhill slides. An American who tried skidding down the almost perpen dicular ice track at St, Moritz says he never was so scared in his life as he was the first time he did the feat, but he was eager to try it again all the same. Bob sledding by crews of men and women together is a favorite amusement at St. Moritz, just as it is among American boys and girls. There are frequent bobsled races in the Enga dine Alps. It is well worth while spending a win ter along the edge of our great lakes in Che Self Hssertrve GtH f MF 1 j 'y. 7 V ATHLETIC MRS. JAMES R. GARFIELD. A bright, merry, most attractive fp.ee has Mrs. James Rudolph Garfield, whose husband Is now secretary of the interior. She is an example, to Ameri can mothers In her love of active outdoor life and sports. A ten mile walk Is said to be nothing to her. No wonder she has an animated, winsome face. It has the sparkle that results from good health and good muscular trim. Mrs. Garfield is bringing up her children to be athletic too. She was Miss Helen Newell of Chicago. Her father was a railroad president. grew older and that meanwhile she was acquiring one of the most valuable as sets a woman can possess, one which would stand her in good stead in many a pinch. t S Well, to change the subject, one of the newest ways in which women are making a living consists In the silver smith's art. Originality in jewelry is the cry of 'MM y s-f. 'HOOP-LA! order to witness the scenes there in th3 frozen season. Fishing through the ice is both a sport-and a business upon out inland seas. For the rich man it is sport: for the poor, business. Much more than the year, and women have been most successful in designing artistic pend ants, chains and rings. For instance, I have seen pendants of semiprecious stones for J30 and $40 which' were really beautiful. One of greenish stone similar to Jade was set in old silver. It had one central stone and three others, pear shaped, hanging from it. Then there are wonderfully carved bits of coral and tourmalines y v y y 'f y mm y y y y y- yy -r"-h i- .'t. ,,,y is.'

Women as well as men enjoy ice fishing, ar,3 some of them become 'expert. In one cf the shanties specially and peridots set in most eccentric de signs. One woman I have in mind devotes her entire time to designing curious shapes anc! forms in necklaces, and as society women, desire quaint things above everything else she makes, quite 1 profit. She has reproduced several historical-bits -of Jewelry seen in Euro pean museums with great success. Ev ery summer when she goes to Europe she comes home with enough odd sketches to more than make up her ex penses. She has 1-jarned the art of set ting stones thoroughly and does all the work with her own. hands, thu3 insur ing its fidelity and incidentally not di minishing her profits. i It seems to me as I observe my own sex that a great many women commit the enormous mistake of spending all they get upon their backs. Now. clothes count for a great deal, but not for every thing. It's a great mistake not to have enough pocket money left to treat your friends. I know a wo man who has a closet full of beautiful clothes, for in stance, and no opportunity to wear them. The care and accu mulation of clothes consti tute her life's Revolutionize the appear ance of old frames'. happiness no, I will say occupation, for she isn't happy. She wants to see more of life, not realizing that it is her own fault that she does not have the opportunity. Now, how .much better for her it would be if she only spent half her money on clothes and devoted the rest to travel, amusement and making friends? Some women are like that, don't you know? They are shy on car fare and never have enough change to treat you to an ice cream soda, but they can spend $40 for a fkney waist without even winking. V- Before I close I want to tell you of the pet economy of a friend. :yyyyyyfy;St y yy s y, yyyyy f 's f y yyy y yy y y yy yy -r i 1 1 up- "mmmmm y y yy yyy y y& yy ry V r y yy f yr Vy yyy tt. y s yy yy yyyy.

Arrived at the fishing place, the first thing the sports and Some She never throws away a picture frame no matter how old or battered it is. Narrow frames of dark wood she en amels white, and she replaces the old fashioned picture with some good print in dainty pastel tones harmonizing with the room in which the picture is to be hung. bf i 1 J l fc y s l of yf 4 y i y 1 f" r y ,yyv ,yV I y 'X jl y y y t f MRS. OSCAR S. STRAUS.. I The wife of the present secretary" of commerce and labor is the first jewish woman to be a member of the cabinet social circle. She- is well fitted to do tile honors of her new position. She has traveled extensively. While her husband was minister,, to .Turkey she was with him at Constantinople, Mrs, Straus looks vountter than her husband. She has two daughters maruied. ,At homo in New York city she is active in philanthropic work. She is president of the j Clarida House For Wbrking Girls. V men have to do is to cut a hole through the ice perhaps a foot-square. In the wooden floor of the shanty a hole has been cut of the same size, and the shanty is moved so that the hole in its floor is directly over the hole in the ice. A little sheet iron stove is always one of the furnishments of the ice fisher's shanty, so that he has just to make a fire in his stove, let his lines down through the double hole in the floor and the ice and wait for a bite, "warm as toast." See? Little trenches the length of the shanty sled runners are dug. in the ice, the runners are put into these and wa ter is poured' on them, so they freeze fast. Otherwise the wind might blow the whole trap away, fishermen, shanty and all. The house is additionally sup ported by being tied to upright sticks also frozen fast in the ice. Often holes are cut in the ice outside of the shanty and lines put down through them, so that one fisherman my attend to a dozen lines. Spearing fish through the ice Indian fashion is also common on bur northern lakes. Iceboat sailing is one of the most ex citing of all winter diversions and one requiring nerve and skill. It is becom ing every winter more popular on the northern lakes and rivers. The upper Hudson and Its larger tributaries have a numerous contingent of ice yachts men. The sport itself is really much like skating sitting down. The largest iceboat fleet in this country is probably that at Oshkosh, Wis., and the scene of its exploitation is Winnebago lake, thir ty miles long and fourteen wide. An iceboat in a strong wind sometimes travels at a speed that takes away the breath. An eighty mile an hour rate has been reached. "But a sixty mile an hour jog is fast enough for me," says an iceboat sailor. If we should have the fortune to be able to visit Yellowstone park in win ter we would find the soldier guards there making their rounds upon the "wooden wings of Norway," otherwise skees. A skee is a piece of polished ash wood strapped to the foot. The regu lation length for army men is ten feet eight inches. Skees are something like long, thin sled runners strapped one to each foot. The skeer carries a balanc ing pole, and in addition the Yellow stone army skeer carries fastened upon his back a pack of some forty pounds weight while making his rounds. And the falls they have and the fun they have, those soldier boys who come as green hands and essay skeeing! But the eternal boy in them grows as fond of the sport as if the man were yet a boy in years and stature. For skeeing down a mountain side is the most thrilling winter sport of all! JESSIE M'BURNIE. BRIDAL LORE. Here, are a few old superstitions and traditions interesting to prospective brides. Every girl is familiar with the old couplet: Something old and something new. Something borrowed and something blue. Green has always been considered an unlucky color, and so also has black Others Armed with a small brush and some good quality gold paint I have seen her revolutionize the appearance of a lot of dingy old frames and then put them In the drawing room. When she wanted an artistic effect on the' green wall facing the front door been disliked for the same cause. Mod ern fashion' gives a-very wide choica regarding color, but we all love to see a young and pretty- bride clad in soft white raiment, do we not? Regarding Jewels, t many bride re fuse to wear anything but the engage ment ring, a decision which is to be commended. Opals are ald to bring bad luck, and French .brides nevei wear pearls, as. they consider them tfl be the emblem of tears. t In Scotland New Year's eve is a fa vorite wedding day among the countrj folk, and Irish Molly chobse Shrov Tuesday for that happiest of days. English brides are warned that "to marry between" the sickle and th scythe will never thrive" and th month of May and during Lent and advent- are unpopular seasons. A bride naturally wishes for a bright, sunshiny wedding day "Happy Is the bride that the sun shines on." There fore, wre are told that in order to gain her wish she must be watchful never to ill use cats, for if she does so she will not only have a wet and stormy wedding day, but ill fortune and sick ness will follow. Sunday is a favorite day for rural weddings in England, and. the after noon of that, day, is not a time of rest for the pastor of a village church, es pecially during the summer.' In Wales it is said to be an evil omen if the bride stumbles going into church, and to insure good luck ever after the bridegroom is advised to carry to church a horseshoe in his pocket. The fashionable man who dislikes bulging pockets, may omit' this precaution and must face the consequences. Years ago it was "considered the pro per thing for the bride to- cry. This can scarcely be understood, if she is wedding the "only man In the world fot her." In" some out 'of the way districts th people say that -the best time for a wedding- is when the moon' is young, and in many parts a marriage which takes place with a waning moon is re garded with sorrow. PUNISH AND PARDON. Last night my little son was sent -Unkissed to bed with angry eyes And lips that pouted willful wise; This was his mother's punishment. A gentler woman does not live. But yet she tarried to forgive. The childish fault, the passionate deed. They must be checked.' so in the gloom He stumbled to his little room; He was too proud to weep or plead.. I saw his mother's eyes grow dim In tender yearning following him. But in the silence-when he slept Undried the tears lay on his cheek, The little face seemed very meek. How piteously perchance he wept i Before he took to Slumberland The grief he could not understand! Then tenderly his mother smoothed The fair tossed hair back from his brow And kissed the lips so passive now. But woke him not since he was soothed. And there beside his little bed She knelt and prayed awhile Instead. Ah, so, dear God, when at the last We lie with closed and tear stained eyes And lips too dumb for prayers or sighs. Sorry and punished for the past, Surely thou wilt, forgive and bless. Being pitiful for our distress! she took, an old black frame, painted it forest green and put Into, It an art print In colors showing an orchard in the springtime. Total cost, 75 cents. It's a good idea. Try it yourself. New York. CARE OF CHILDREN'S HAIR. At bedtime a little girl's hair should be loosened and shaken out In order that -the air may pass through It and afterward be carefully combed and brushed. .If the hair is. worn plaited during the day If should be simply tied together during the sleeping hours, but if the locks have hung loose all day It is good for them to be loosely braided at night.. Each child should, possess a brush and comb of Its own, which must be kept scrupulously clean and washed frequently in warm water to which a little ammonia dr a lump of washing soda has been added. Some children catch cold very easily after having their hair washed. In order-to dry It-quickly and prevent this, use for the -final rmsing quite hot water to. which' a few drops of alcohol have been added. Then rub the hair well with alcohol and wring It out as dry as possible. Next' take two or three towels, divide the hair and 'wipe each strand separate ly. Let tne child sit in a Warm room, or, if possihle, in the sun, fan the hair for a few minutes and It will soon be perfectly drjr. CURE FOR SCANDAL. It Is told of Hannah More that she had a good way of managing talebear ers. It is said that whenever she was told anything derogatory to another her invariable reply was, "Come, We will go and ask if this be true." The effect was sometimes ludicrously pain ful.. "f he talebearer was taken back, stammered out a qualification or else begged that no notice might be taken of. the .statement. But the good lady was. Inexorable. Off she took the scan dalmonger to the Scandalized to make inquiry and compare accounts. It is not likely that anybody ever a second time ventured to -repeat a gossipy, story -to Hannah More, pne would think her method for treatment would he a sure cure for scandal.-

When a girl is about to entertain an out of town girl who ts exceedingly tall she begins to be very polite to all the tall men she knows, for every tall girl hates to be seen about with a man shorter than herself. One visiting girl who comes here frequently and who is unusually tall says that the only fault she can And with Topeka is that there are so few men as tall as she.

It is expected that every music student in town will con tribute to the fund. Many of them have already done so. as well as others who realize the importance of Mr. MacDowell's work for American mu sic.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALS-SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1907. 8 0F1 THEjGRIDIRON. Washburn Girls to Gire, Imita tion on Tuesday. Their Amusing Parody on Game of Football. JOKES THAT ARE NEW. Those to Be Used Won't lie Boss Corered. Prettiest Washburn Coeds in Football Costume. With rehearsals coming twice a day for over two weeks, the young? ladies of "Washburn college, who are plan ning to put on a play In the college chapel, entitled "The Land of Grid Iron," will be prepared to give Tope kans a treat in the line of an amateur performance. The girls who are In the play, and there are twenty-five of them, are working hard' for the play and when the curtain rolls up on the first act next Tuesday niht there will be seen thirty-five young actresses who will be In tip-top condition and fitting rivals of everything on the American stage today. Prof. O. B. Towne of the dramatic department of Washburn and Miss Nellie Lincoln, both of whom have had a great deal of experience in developing young Thespians of stellar magnitude out of the crude material of college students, are in charge of the play and are bending their best efforts in the direction of making the play a huge success. Both of the coachers in charge of the play are realizing that they are having better opportunities than they have had for a long time of getting out a first-class amateur play. Most of the youns ladies who are In the dif ferent "roles of the play are experi enced actors. Many of them have been In several plays before and those who have not been before the glare of the footlights before are willing workers and this counts for a great deal. One of the strong drawing features of. the play will be the chorus which will be composed of twelve of the prettiest girls in Washburn. These girls are all finished products In the musical line and all are numbered among the best talent in vocal singing In the city. The Misses Grace and Ef fle Page, Grace Boles, Celia Smith, Eleanor Sims and Mabel Renwick are all good singers and are advanced stu dents In. the musical department of the college. All of them are favorites with Topeka audiences. Miss Bertha Dinsmore will have a Irtrong part in the comedy, taking the role of Dr. John Outland, who is the bead coach of Washburn. Dr. Out land is very popular at Washburn, es pecially among the members of the fair sex. among whom he is known by the affectionate and endearing name of "Brownie." Brownie wii! have a con spicuous part in the play and Miss Dinsmore plays the part to perfection. The girls who will represent the team will also try to impersonate the general demeanor of the different men of the team as much as possible. All the little eccentricttiesi ttnd other attri butes will be carried out to the letter. One of the popular members of the team has a fondness for doing little stunts, such as fancy dancing, and he Is regarded as a finished product with the wooden shoes. The young lady who takes his part, if rumors which have gained circulation can be relied upon, is in daily practice in an attempt to portray this feature of her hero to the letter. Often times during chapel times sha has been observed to wan der off by herself and this is believed to be for the purpose of working out a few stunts in corn Jigging and rag time dancing. h,', Not alone will, the show be interest ing for the many new jokes which will be sprung unon the public and the rich acting which the'srirls will perform, but from a standpoint of beauty alone the show will be a great success. It la generally reported that there are more good looking girls in Washburn this year than ever before and all the girls in the play are carefully selected with a view of getting the best looking ones to take the leading parts. One of the girls Is authoritv for the statement that the show will be as pleasing to the. eyes as well as to the ears. Of eours" th's can not be known until next Tuesday night, when the play-will t presented, but It Is not generally X Miss Daisy Monroe iSS. A NuAo impersonates tS? GoacH Weeda. r0-.. iSQ.'N' 1"'" -I ffc&3& believed that this rumor Is very far from beinjj correct. A large sum is being expended for the costuming of the girls in the play. It will even rival, if reports are to be believed, the gorgeous costumes seen in Ben Hur last year. The girls iir the Washburn football team will be dressed in the regulation Washburn sweaters and will wear bloomers of regulation Washburn blue. The chorus girls will be garbed in extravagant style and will present a beautiful ef fect. One of the humorous parts of the play will be the role of Dr. Dainn, who is the professor in chemistry at Wash burn. Dr. Dains will be the one mem ber of the faculty who will be able to meet any emergency which presents itself to the football team. He has Just made a discovery which make? men out of the Washburn boys. He also has a secret way of making men eligible for the team who are delin quent in their studies. The chief villain part will be that of a Topeka business man and the girls have laid especial emphasis on this part, which will brine; forth as much laughter as any part in the play. Reserved seats were placed on sale at, the Washburn college office and at Stansfleld's drug store Friday and Saturday of this week. The play will be presented in Washburn chapel next Tuesday evening at 8:00. No ex tra charge is made for reserved seats. One of the song hits of the play will "ftieVillain ifjneband of'Gridiron- ft. be the "Victory Sons'," which has been set to the tune of "Tammany." Here it Is: "Here's to Washburn's football team, the wearers of the blue, Sturdy Sons of Ichabod, the ever tried and true. Here's to winners always brave, our team victorious. They've oft won laurels for them selves in battles glorious. Chorus "Victory, victory. We're used to winning here. Same old story year by year. Every game its just the same. It's victory." ERIN' SENDS OUT 5,000,000. Irish Emigration to This Country Has Been Enormous. No page in history reveals such a mi gration as that of the Irish to America. The figures are astonishing. From 1S40 to 1SG0 not fewer than 2.000,000 crossed the ocean to settle in the United States; from 1SG to ISM) an additional 1,000,000 made a fresh start in life in the great republic over the seas, and from 1SS3 to the present time another 1.000.000 was added to our population. Since 1860 the average has been 500.000 a decade. The twelve agricultural states, repre sented by Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illi nois. Wisconsin, Missouri. Iowa. Minne sota. Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, contain one-fourth of the 5.000,000. Of the portion settled in the North At lantic stftes but one-fifth are on farms; but this tendency to crowd into the towns disappears when the surroundings are ag ricultural, as is shown by the large per centage more than 50 of those who have taken to farming in the twelve agricul tural states above mentioned. It is only because the bulk of the Irish in America are not in the midst of farm ing districts that they are less an agri cultural people than the other immigrant elements added to the population. They have found an outlet for their energies in the congested districts and their wonder fully adaptive natures have allowed them easily to enter upon the industries of the people among whom they were thrown. It is In the eastern states that the Irish promise to ultimately constitute a ma jority of the population. This is already the case In three New England states and in many New England cities. In New York city they are barely behind the Germans and slightly so in Chicago. Chicago Chronicle. "I cannot be your wife," she replied, and added: "This is final." He paced swiftly to and fro, several times, then halted abruptly In front of her. "Pray be candid with me." he said, not with out the note of masculine impatience. "About how final?"

Congressman Charles Curtis Nominated Curtis started In with 34 votes, gain ed on each ballot, and when the roll call of the fourth ballot .ended, had 60 votes. Nine, votes were then changed to him, after which he was nominated by acclamation. The result of the fourth ballot was not officially an nounced. Under the rules of the caucus it was necessary to get 66 votes for a lomlnation. There were three repre sentatives absent: Denni3 of Gove, Warren of Linn and Kirmison of Ford, leaving 127 votes in the caucus. The most sensational feature of the caucus was when Cy Leland, long time enemy of Curtis, came out of the underbrush on the fourth ballot, and cast his vote for Curtis. Leland's vote was received with cheers, mingled with hisses. "I wish to say," shouted the venera ble .-epresentative from Doniphan. white with passion, as he turned toward the hissing people, "that hisses come only from snakes." Then the Curtis people cheered for Leland for several seconds. It was Le land's "flop" that broke the backbone of the Curtis opposition. The enemies of Curtis had counted on Leland as a friend. They had even talked of mak ing him' speaker of the house. When It came to the test, Leland hid himself In the Getty vote for three ballots, and then made his sensational handspring Into the Curtis camp. The following is the "rabbit list," showing where the "flops" came from that nominated Curtis as United States senator: Second Ballot. From Benson: Senators Brewer and Caldwell. From Stubbs: Senator Griffin, Rep resentative Miller. Total. 4 votes gain. J Third Ballot. From Benson: Senator Carver. From Stubbs: Representative Creech. From Campbell: Senator Connor, Representatives Cunningham, Sourbeer and Wescott. From Murdock: Senator Hughes.Rep resentatives Curran, Holdren, Craddock. From Getty: Senator Hayden. From Bristow: Representative Crum ley. From Johnston: Senator Smith. Total, 13 votes gain. Fourth Ballot. From Benson: Senator C. I. Martin, Representatives Gesner, Schmidt, 6ticher. i From Campbell: Senators E. F. Por- mi V MB ter Fitzpatrlck and Huffman, Repre sentatives Montee, Wheeler, Elstun, Cowan, Cottingham and Lehman. From Murdock.: Representative Bran don. From Getty: Representatives Leland and Enright. From Bristow: Representative Jones. From Bailey: Representative Shep herd. Total, 18 votes gain. Of course a good many of these "rab bits" were merely decoys, placed In the grass at appropriate places to Jump up and run and start the real rabbits. In other words, the Curtis people had scattered their friends around among the various candidates to wait until the psychological moment and then flop into the Curtis puddle with a loud splash. The Final Ballot. It was Sig Lehman, of Labette, the new representative in the house, that gave Curtis the vote which elected him, though that distinction was loudly claimed by Senator Fitzpatrick. Curtis had 60 votes when the last name on the list was called. Six more were necessary. Just at this time, Campbell cut the rope which held his rapidly disintegrating forces, and the stampede was started by Senator E. F. Porter who rose and changed his vote from Campbell to Curtis. Then Sticher, representative rrom Woodson, changed from Benson to Curtis. Elstun, representative from Elk, changed from Campbell to Curtis. Cowan, representative from Cherokee, changed from Campbell to Curtis. Huff man, senator from Cherokee, changed from Campbell to Curtis. Lehman, representative from Labette, then gave Curtis the winning vote, changing from Campbell to Curtis. But-the stampede didn't stop. Others were anxious to crowd into the band wagon. Shepherd changed from Bailey to Curtis: Senator Fitzpatrlck, with a flourish of trumpets in his own behalf, changed from Campbell to Curtis. Bran-' don of Butler, changed from Murdock to Curtis, and on behalf of the Eighth district, which had been supporting Murdock. moved that Curtis be nomina ted by acclamation. A. C. Mitchell of Douglas, a Stubbs man, seconded the motion. It carried. Then it was moved to make the nomi nation unanimous. About 25 members refused to vote for this, among them being Stubbs. Kirtland. Tredway.Whtta, Kraser. Myers, Grass, Berryman. Ham, and Taylor. Three or four of these stood up when the negative vote was called for. The vote on the fourth ballot, after the nine votes had been changed, was as follows: FOR CURTIS.

MENAREMOVEDUP Changes in Bock Island Operat ing Department. M. McKernan Promoted to Po sition of Superintendent.', PLACE FOR Mil. KERR. He Becomes Trainmaster With Headquarters at Topeka. D. Coughlin Will Look After the Block System. Changes in the operating depart ment of the southwestern lines of the Rock Island railroad, have been made, announcement of which is made today. M. McKernan, who has been train master of the Rock Island at Topeka is elevated to a position of superin tendent of a new division that is being made on that portion of the lines known as the Choctaw district. A re arrangement of the territory under the jurisdiction of the various super intendents in that district is being made, and it can not be announced in this connection today, what the ter ritory will be under Mr. McKernan's direction. C. I. Kerr, who was service Inspec tor, reporting to General Manager D. E. Cain, before he went to the Denver Rio Grande, has been appointed to the position of trainmaster of the Rock Island at Topeka with jurisdic tion over what is known to the Rock Island employes as subdivisions 13 and 17 and the Kansas City line, being the territory in the Kansas division. D. Coughlin. has been assigned to the work of superintending the estab lishment of the block system on the Rock Island lines between Topeka and Herington. As fast as the arrange ments are perfected. Mr. Couglln will instruct the agents and operators In the methods of handling the business under the block system. The Rock Island management has decided to extend the block system of train dispatching over all the impor tant lines of the road that are not al ready so equipped. The northern line from Chicago to Denver, being, the line through Iowa and Nebraska has already adopted the use of this plan, the safest known to railway men for handling trains. Ast soon as the work of installing this system between To peka and Herington Is completed, the work will be extended eastward till the line to Chicago is completed as far as Davenport, from which point the Rock Island has a double track to Chicago. Mr. Coughlin will have charge of the work -of instructing the operators, on ,hla division also. The decision of the Rock Island to in stall the block system on these lines necessitates the employment of many additional telegraph operators. It be comes necessary to employ both day and night operators at every station, for the reason that the distance between each station constitutes a block, and every operator at every station both day and night keeps a train sheet on which thev keep tab of the trains in the blocks adjacent to them in each direction. Following the installation of this sys tem on the lines east to Chicago, work will be carried out installing the sys tern south from Herington on the line extending Into Texas. Mr. McKernan, who leaves Topeka to become superintendent with head quarters at Fort Worth, has served in railway work successively as engineer, conductor. yardmaster, trainmaster and superintendent of terminals,, and now becomes division superintendent. He is regarded as one of the best of the operating men on the southwestern lines of the Rock island. C. I. Kerr, is another exceptionally clever railway man. He is young yet, being but 35 years of age, but he has worked his way up unaided Dy any otn er means than his own merit. Mr. Kerr began his railway career as a messenger boy ror tne teiegrapn department and tho agent of the Santa Fe railroad at Caldwell. At odd mo ments he learned telegraphy. He soon became an operator and was appoint ed to an operator's position. He was promoted to be a station agent, and held positions of this character many points on the Santa Fe lines, the last place at which he was agent being at El Paso.

The campaign for the deposition, of Mr. Williams has been going on quietly for a long time, un til now- pieages rrom old members who have been re-elected" to the six-' tieth.,consTess and from ne- ones, who will come Into the house at the same time have reached a number sufficient to insure the control of a Democratic caucus Hn behalf of the Missouri rep resentative. This change Is of immense impor tance, because it involves a great deal in the way of presidential politics, as the Democratic candidate for speaker will not be proposed Until just before the opening of the first session of the next- congress in December next. From that time on .candidates for the presidency and vice presidency will be busily engaged In different states and the influence of Democratic repre sentatives in congress will have a good deal to do with dictating the nomina tion. Mr. Williams' 'friends do not give up the fight yet. but there is every reason to- believe the pledges for Clark now constitute a clear' ma jority of the caucus. THINKS HE IS NOT KIMMEL.

BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR Was Made the Text for an At tock on the President. Says Roosevelt's Course Was No Better Than Lynching. Washington, Jan. 12. The announce ment that Senator Tillman would speak today on the race question in connection w4th proposed investigation of the Brownsville affair had the effect of attracting to the capitol an excey tionally large number of persons. Long before the session convened the corrl dors were crowded and when the doors were opened at half past 11 the gal leries soon filled up, leaving many In the corridors. In the crowd there was an unusual number of negroes, and ic terested as they were in the comin discussion, they were not more eager to get inside the doors than were ine whites. Tt was nearlv 1 o'clock when the sen ate completed its morning business and the Brownsville matter was taken up. Many members of the house were in the chamber and every possible space in the ealleries was occupied when Mr Tillman took the floor to make his ad dress. Senator Tillman characterized the nresldent's action in the matter "A3 nothing more or less than lynching.' He challenged any one to produce in the army regulations or articles of war foundation for the charge or conspiraej of silence, mutiny and treason made against the soldiers, although ne ae clared there was no doubt that the sol diers were responsible for the "outrage at Brownsville. Mr. Tillman held that it was contra ry to the fundamental principles of lib ertv of Enelish and American law tha the innocent should suffer because of the sins of the guilty; also he declared that a man shall be considered lnnoceni until he Is proved guilty. 'In this case." he said. "167 men have been punished while not more than 20 have been charged witn parti cipation In the crime." Mr. Tillman maintained that the ne gro troops should not have been sent to Texas. They were sent there he said against the protests of one of the, Tex as senators and the congressman from that district. Mr. Tillman declared that Senator Foraker had belittled himself by at tacking Major' ;Blocksom as a man whose father- was a copperhead "Are we never to have an end of the war and its bitterness?" he exclaimed. "Are the people of the north and south never to understand each other and to. recognize the Tights of. both section 7 "It is useless to deny that the race question-lies at the bottom of all this. "It is equally useless to, say that these troops were not discharged be cause they are negroes. The whole is sue Involved Is one of race and the president Is primarily more respon sible than any other man for the posl tion the negroes In the south hav taken on the question of negro rights." After predicting in the near future a race conflict to determine whether the negro is th equal of the Cau casian, Mr. Tillman continued: "Brief ly stated, the white people of the United States are face to face with the vital issue as to whether the Caucasian race shall share its inheritance with th other races of the earth. "Is President Roosevelt ready to act up to his own theory and have his children marry men and women of the other races? Would he accept as a daughter-in-law a Chinese, a Malay, an Indian, or a negro in accord with the doctrine laid down in his message? We all know he would not, and while 'Fine words butter no parsnips' words like these are a source of incalculable evil, coming from such a high source "It is high time something was be ing. done to have this great and vita! question brought before the country in some practical and sensible way. The deep interest shown in the Brownsvilla tragedy is ample evidence that the people of the country, are beginning to feel a deep concern in the various phases of this question and it is ab solutely useless for doctrinaires and politicians to undertake to dismiss it with a wave of the hand, and for one I am ready to go to battle under the slogan, 'America for the Americans and this is a white man's country and white men must sovern it. Mr. Tillman prefaced his discussion of the ouestion with the characteriza tion that It resembled a case in court. Certain enlisted men of the Twen ty-fifth regiment were under indict ment, he said. The president of the United States is the prosecutor as well as the executioner. The array of counsel for the defense and prosecu tion is not yet complete. So far as their names have appeared on the record there i- an element of incon gruity and of the ridiculous. For in stance, as attorneys aiding the prose cution we have the distinguished senator from Texas (Mr. Culberson), a Democrat; the distinguished senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Lodge), a Republican; the distinguished senator from Virginia (Mr, Daniel), a Demo crat, and for the defense, if it shall be so considered when I get through. I will be put in the Record with the distinguished senator from Ohio (Mr. Foraker.) Of course, being nothing more than a corn field lawyer my contribution to the legal discussion of the question will be very limited; probably comparatively, worthless. "My colleague and brother attorney (Mr. Foraker) himself realizes that so far aa legal assistance will go, he will get Httle.or no aid from me, and thus for I do not think he needs any. But the ridiculousness of the situation is again apparent when one considers that the senator from the north, whose- radical and aggressive utter ances and probably his actions in the past once earned for him the name of 'Fire Alarm.' "The senator .finds himself aligned with that senator from.the south (Mr. Tillman, himself), who. is usually sup posed to have "a broiled negro for breakfast (laughter), who is known to Justify lynching for criminal assault, and whose attitude, if not that of hatred to the negro, is a feeling akin to It and belief that white men are madel of better clay and that white men aloneuare entitled to participate in government.' And so this alliance is an ordered one." Declaring that President Roosevelt was more responsible "than any other man," Mr. Tillman read from order No, 29 issued by the war department February 8, 1906, and signed by the president, as follows: "The uniform of the enlisted man is a badge of hon or. It entitles him to consideration It shows that in the great majority of cases he has learned those habits of self command, of self restraint, of obedience and of fearlessness in the face- of danger which put him above most of his fellows who have not pos-. sessed similar privileges, t To strive to discriminate against him-m any way is literally an infamy." v "That is the milk in the cocoanut," ejaculated Mr. Tillman, who said it was this "sort of stuff" that put into the heads of the negro soldier that he was entitled to demand social equality. At this point Mr. Tillman was inter rupted for the first time. Senator Nel son asking: "Would you deny those privileges to white soldiers?" "I will go as far as any man In giv ing white men, either soldiers or citi zens, their rights," answered Mr. Till man. "Why should not the colored soldier, if he conducts himself as a white sol dier, have the same consideration?" persisted Mr. Nelson. "For the simple reason that God Al mighty made him colored. He did not make him white" -retorted Mr. Tillman, who added that caste feeling was universal; that it pulsated even in the bosom of the senator from Minne sota (Mr. Nelson).
