PAUL KRUGER, PRESIDENT OF THE TRANSVAAL. M. KRUGER REPORTED TAKEN London Paper Prints Rumor That Transvaal President Has Been Made Prisoner. JONHANNESBURG REPORTED OGCUPIED. Dispatches from Roberts/Tell of Sharp Fighting Around Johannesburg—Delay in the Entry into the City at the Request of the Commandant There. London, June 1.—The Westminster Gazette says it is rumored in a quarter likely to be well informed that President Kruger has been captured by the British six miles beyond Pretoria, Johannesburg Handed over. The Evening News of this city has received a dispatch from Pretoria to the effect that Johannesburg has been handed over to the British. Dispatches from Roberts. London, June 1—The war office has received from Lord Roberts a dispatch dated Germiston, May 30, nine p. m., saying, "The brunt of the fighting yesterday fell upon an Hamilton's column. I have sent him, as already mentioned, to work around to the west of Johannesburg in support of French's cavalry, which was directed to go north near the road leading to Pretoria. I have not heard from French yet, but Hamilton, in a report which has just reached me, said he would block in the afternoon he found his way blocked by the enemy strongly posted on PAUL KRUGER, PRESIDER some kopies and ridges three miles south of the Rand. They had two heavy guns and several field guns and pom-poms. Hamilton forthwith attacked. They captured all of the Gordons, who, after capturing one extremity of the ridge, wheeled around and worked along it until after dark, clearing it of the enemy, who fought most obstinately. The One Gordon, who was the most flank and would not be denied. The chief share in the action, as in the casualties, fell to the Gordons, whose gallant advance excited the admiration of all. The One Gordon, due west of Johannesburg, and French is a few miles further to the northeast. The Gordons, the cavalry, the mounted infantry and the Seventh division are holding the heights of the town to the north and the heavy artillery, are south of Johannesburg. “Hamilton speaks in high terms of praise of the manner in which Bruce Hamilton and Col. Spens, of the Shropshire light artillery, their men under Smith-Dorriens’ direction.” Delays Entering Johnnesburg. The war office has also received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts, under date of Germiston, May 30: "In answer of a flag of truce I sent to Johannesburg this morning the commandant came to see me. He begged me to defer entering the town for 24 hours, as there were many armed men there. I am most anxious to avert the possibility of anything like disturbance inside the town and as bodies of the enemy are still holding the hills in the immediate neighborhood, from which they will have to be cleared off before." "Bundle reports that he attacked a large party of Boers near Senekal on May 28. He said his casualties were not heavy." "Drabant reports that on May 29 two of his patrols, consisting of two officers and 40 men, escaped off by the enemy and taken prisoners." Pretoria, Not Surrendered Pretoria Not Surrounded. London, June 1—Lord Roberts' latest dispatches shed a somewhat different light on the military situation. Before they were received celebrations were organized in the country towns in honor of the fall of Pretoria. In Chester a public holiday was declared, while at Dover, Portsmouth and many other places in the provinces flags were flown and rejoicings were general. Pretoria, however, is not yet in the hands of the British, though there is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the report that Krueger has executed the place and that the municipality is ready to surrender when confronted by superior numbers. At nine o'clock Wednesday night the final forward movement on the Transvaal capital had apparently not commenced. All Lord Roberts' dispositions of troops appear to apply to Johannesburg, and though the British seem certain to reach Pretoria within a day or so they will not occupy it without fighting, if the opposition of the Boers around Johannesburg is any criterion. French's Movements. Gen. French's movement appears not so much an immediate advance on Pretoria as part of a plan to surround Johannesburg, from which, Wednesday night, he was only a few miles distant. Lord Roberts himself is at Elandstonetein Junction. His forces will be placed to the south, west and north of Johannesburg, subsequent to the surrender of the city. These units will probably be reconcentrated while Gen. French advances from the advantageous position he already occupies. The main army is converging towards the railroad, following closely on his heels. Supposing that Johannesburg surrenders at noon, Pretoria should be reached by June 2, opposition or no opposition. Gen. Brabant's loss of 40 men is striking evidence that the exnexation of the Free State by no means implies its pacification. Believe Pretoria Has Failed. So thoroughly is the country here imbued with the belief that Pretoria has fallen that Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies, speaking Thursday at a meeting of the University of Birmingham, proposed a message to the queen congratulating her upon the capture of Johannesburg and Pretoria, which was sent to the afternoon newspapers. The afternoon newspapers all acknowledge the prompt friendliness of the United States consul at Pretoria, Mr. Adelbert S. Hay, in insisting on the release of a number of British officers to take command of the British prisoners in order to avert a disturbance among the latter. Lord Cecil Manners, son of the duke of Rattland, and who is acting as a ENT OF THE TRANSVAAL. newspaper correspondent, was among the prisoners captured by the Boers during Lord Roberts' advance May 29 Ocenny Heidelburg Cape Town, June 1—The British have occupied Heidelberg on the railroad connecting Johannesburg with the Transvaal frontier town of Volkss rost, on the Natal frontier near Loings Nek. Cornered in a Mine. London, June 1.—Aspecial dispatch from Germiston (a suburb of Johannesburg) says several hundred Boers have sought refuge in a mine, where the British grenadiers has cornered them and barred all escape. Announces Taking of Pretoria. Victoria, B. C., June 1—Victoria Wednesday night was a blaze of light; all citizens turning out to celebrate the evacuation of Pretoria. Bonfires blazed every ten yards on the main streets and millions of firecrackers and bands proclaim the glad news. Thursday was proclaimed a general holiday by the mayor and a general celebration was held. Stamp Swindle Locarthed New York, June 1.—Beyond the arrest of three young men in Brooklyn, the police believe is a revenue stamp swindle of considerable proportions. The men are George and Charles Morgan and William Brower. They were arrested as suspicious characters and in a furnished room, which they recently rented was found a large number of canceled and uncanceled revenue stamps, ranging in denomination from ten cents to $10. Damaging Rains Dallas, Tex., June 1 — Tremendous rains have fallen in the last two days. The rise in the Brazos at Waco since Wednesday night is 22 feet and the river is still rising six inches an hour. It is out of its banks, and much alarm is felt. The cotton crop has been hurt seriously by this new flood. Reports from 30 points in the wheat belt indicate extensive damage. The grain is badly down in most places. Hawaii Free from Vingar Washington, June 1.—The special agent of the United States at Honolulu reports to the department of state, under date of the 30th inst., that the Hawaiian authorities have declared the Hawaiian islands free from infection by the bubonic plague since the 30th ultimo, and that the quarantine of the islands was raised on the last mentioned date. ADOPTS SPECIAL ORDER House Agrees to Final Vote on the Anti-Trust Resolution on Saturday. SHARP CRITICISM BY MINORITY LEADER. Senator Gallinger Withdraws Motion to Reconsider Vote by Which St. Louis Fair Appropriation Was Passed—Agreement to Let the Montana Senatorial Context Rest. Washington, June 1. — When the house met Thursday Mr. Dalzell, from the committee on rules, presented the special order for the consideration of the anti-trust resolution and bill which he withdrew Wednesday to allow the house to dispose of the pending private pension bills. The rule was the same as that herefore prepared except that it provided for a vote on the amendment on Friday and the bill on Saturday. Mr. Dalzell explained that the rule presented was for the consideration of the two measures reported by the judiciary committee, the resolution for a constitutional amendment empowering congress to enact legislation dealing with trusts, and the bill for the amendment of the Sherman antitrust law. Criticism by Minority Leader. Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, criticising the rule, declared that it was framed to bring the house to a vote on the resolution without opportunity to amend it. "We are confronted with a unique situation," the government has been in possession of the republican party since March 4, 1897. It has been supreme in all branches of the government. The first thing done was to enact the Dingley law—a law which has done more to foster and propagate trusts than any other on the state book. The second thing has been done to control trusts, but now on the eve of adjournment, after a resolution has been passed fixing the day for final dissolution, the republican party brings in this anti-trust legislation. It is an effort to recoup for political effect. The people will not The special order was adopted. 114 to 118. Withdraws His Opposition. Withdraws His Opposition. Washington, June 1. — Senator Gallinger in the senate Thursday withdrew his motion to reconsider the vote by which the Louisiana purchase appropriation was passed. Senator Gallinger, from the committee on commerce, reported an amendment to the sundry civil bill authorizing a commission to investigate trade conditions in the orient. The amendment is the same offered by Senator Gallinger in the senate on Tuesday. Wants an Accounting Senator Jones (Ark.) made a vigorous attack upon the administration of the Paris exposition commission by Commissioner General Peck. Up to January 1, 1900, he said, Mr. Peck had accounted for less than $400,000 of the $1,400,000 appropriated for exposition purposes. He believed that an investigation of the matter ought to be made in order that the people might have the facts. Agree to Another Conference. The senate has agreed to another conference on the naval appropriation bill, and Senators Hale, Perkins and Tillman were named as conferences. The points in disagreement are the provision for armor plate, ocean surveys and the course of instruction at the naval academy. THE CLARK CASE An Agreement Reached Whereby It Is Not to Be Pushed. Washington, June 1. The senate committee on privileges and elections has reached an agreement with the friends of Senator Clark, of Montana, to allow the senator's case to rest where it is, with the understanding that no further steps sha, be taken to have either Mr. Clark's or Mr. Maginis' credentials referred to the committee, and that no further notice shall be taken on the resolution of the committee concerning Senator Clark's original election. Adversely Acted Upon. Washington, June 1—The claim to extensive portions of the Chicago lake front, valued at $150,000,000 put forward by a band of the Pottawatomie Indians, was adversely acted upon Thursday by the house committee on Indian affairs. The claim embraced parts of Lincoln park and the residence sections and was set up under the old titles of the Indians as the original occupants of this section. Grout Bill Reported. Washington, June 1. The report on the Grout oleomargarine bill, which has been a source of lively contention, was filed Thursday by the majority of the house committee on agriculture, the minority also filing an adverse report, Representative Henry, of Connecticut, drew the majority report. Orders Dreyfusard Paper Prosecuted. Paris, June 1.—The first measure of the new minister of war, Gen. Andre, on taking over the war office, is an order for the prosecution of the Dreyfusard paper, the Aurore, for an article by Urbain Gohier, attacking the headquarters staff in connection with the Capt. Fritsch affair. Couldn't Save His Mother Media, Pa. June 1- Two children were dragged from a burning house on the truck farm of T. Steer Bickleson at night by their eight-year-old brother, who driven out by the flames, was unable to save his mother and a baby. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. PRICE FIVE CENTS. ARMY OF DEPUTIES. Sheriff at St. Louis Securing a Thousand Men with Whom to Handle Strike Situation. St. Louis, June 1. — Sheriff Pokhman, who Wednesday received orders from the board of police commissioners to summon a posse comitatus of 1,000 men to aid the police in preserving order during the street railway strike, began his work Thursday. Lists had been prepared and summonses are being served as fast as possible by the sheriff's regular deputies. The sheriff expects to have the posse ready for service by Saturday. Sheriff Pokhman said Thursday: "In summoning my posse I will only secure good citizens of St. Louis. No thug man of bad reputation will find a place on the list." "I will appoint captains who will have charge of squads to be stationed in a dozen places over the city. The people of St. Louis will be stationed in crowds and cause disturbances, and if my men are forced to adopt extreme measures it will be the fault of those starting and participating in the trouble, and if my men are caused by strangers in the city and not the strikers." He asked how he would arm him his men, and he replied, "I am personally in favor of giving the men repeating shotguns. To give them one of those old-fashioned rifles would be foolish. When it is fired there is no telling where the gun is located. If the gun is killed several blocks away. Mind you, do not like the idea of being compelled to arm these men and send them on this mission, but the law gives me no other choice. If the gun is killed, the men will be sworn in as soon as he responds to the summons served upon him. We will have no time to drill them, but will give them instructions as to what we expect of him." An epidemic of sickness has suddenly broken out in the city, since the draft for the posse comitatus began. Sheriff Pohlman says nearly every man of any position, who has been summoned to serve on the posse, is scouring about to get a physician's certificate that he is suffering from some chronic disease which unfits him for duty. Cars are being run about as Wednesday. GEN. OTIS ARRIVES. Is Unable to Land. However, Owing the Presence of Smallpox box. San Francisco, June 1.—The transport Mende, with Maj. Gen. E. S. Otis, arrived Wednesday, 25 days from Manila. The Mende had three cases of smallpox aboard. She was placed in quarantine, where she will remain an indefinite time. Gen. Otis stated to the quarantine officials that he was in excellent health and wished to land to take a tran for the east as soon as possible. A quartermaster, a stowaway and a soldier are infected with the smallpox. The Mende has on board the bodies of 112 soldiers who died in the Philippines. There was one death on the way over. The transport's passenger list numbers 49 cabin and 134 steerage. The presence of smallpox on the vessel makes the time of Gen. Otis's landing very indefinite. CONTINUE TO SURRENDER. Filipines Laying Down Arms in Northern Luzon-Hitch Point of Northern Luzon Washington, June 1. — The following dispatch was received at the war department Thursday from Gen. Mac Arthur at Manila: "Small surrenders continue department of northern Luzon Coron, fugitive governor, Benguet, rich, active friend Aguinaldo, captured yesterday near Cabayan, important.

The injarions Ea@cet of Faster Diet deoplomentea with fede Se Women rarcly iearn that @ pastry diet is injurious without a contly ex- perience. At a church social im Mhila- delphia the other night the members engaged in a xpiey debate on the merits of the question: “Resolved, That a majority of the young women employed as clerks in Philadelphia are unfitted for positions of truat and responsibility because of their enervating diet.” ‘After the debaters had presented their arguments the judges decided in favor of the afirmative side of the question, says an exchange of that eity. It in necessery to note that the suc- cessful debaters presented as their chief argument the fact that, ax a rule, the midday meals of the young women employed ax clerks in the big depart- ment stores and as stenographers and typewriters are composed of cream puffs, candies and soda water, instead of nolid and substantial food. Ae atest of che statement a reporter made inquiries of the managers of the principal light luneh restaurants, The managers corroborated the statements made by the debaters. From acashier at one of the principas restaurants it wax learned that more than one-half of the trade at the Ninth and Filbert street branch was derived from women customers who bought nothing but aweet food. “The things that they usually eat,” aid the cashier, “consints of such airy Aelicacies ax cream puffs, pies, chocr late eclaires and jee cream, ‘The young girls mostly top off thix repast with a glass of milk. Rarely, if ever, do the women order toup or meat.” ‘A young mar who draws soda water at one of the fountains in a large de- partment store xald: “Why, there are scores nnd scores of young girls in thix establishment who never think of eating anything sensible during the noon hour. Without luok- ing at the clock 1 ean always tell when it is time for lunch. At 120'elock sharp up trips the girls, and it ix ‘A straw- berry soda’ here and ‘A cherry bounce’ there, After quaffing these draughts, fit only for people with full stonmehs and not poor girls who toil for their daily. bread, the candy counter 4 vin- ited." : “Surely enough, when seen, a auave young woman in charge of the candy counters gave a merry laugh and whi pered: “Oh, pshaw! Don't you know that wweets are ax dear to 9 Woman, 9 young one at least, ax ple was to Tom ‘Tucker or ax watermelon fs to a‘eoon For instance, take cream chocolates and bonbons as candy triumphs. What iw more delicious, expecially when they are made up in the most tempting fla- vor? As a proof of what I say you ought to hover near thix counter be- tween twelve and one o'clock on any day of the week. In fact, more than half of the girls here never think of buying sandwiches or anything sub- stantial, Ice cream sodas and aweet- meats are good enough for them.” ‘The reporter next visited a prominent physician who makes a specialty ot ttomach troubles. He was told what the restaurant enshier, the Koda foun- tain expert and the suave young wom “an at the candy counter had said. “That Is an old story to me,” he said “L might say, too, without fear of con- tradiction, that this foolish practice ts causing nearly 80 per cent. of the young “women employed in stores and offices ‘to degenerate into confirmed dyspep- tion, Tt requires no grent effort of the mind to arrive at this conclusion.

Related of a Scotch Misstonary, Can: nibal Indians, and Chareh ae iain, A very remarkable story was told by Beaator Vest, of Missouri, to «the Washington Post a day or two ago. “The most pathetie scene I ever wit: nessed in my life,” xaid he, "was the out come of @ very singular aud curion condition of affairs. Up in British North America there was a tribe of Indians under the control of native sorcerers, and. practicing all manner of savage rites. Among other things, these Indians were eaninbals, A Xeotehman, named Duncan, went among them, and at the risk of his ‘own life vivilized them. He taught them every dogma of our religion ex- cept the Lord's Supper. Hin great work had been to win them from can- nibaliam, to teach them that eaptnr- ing and then roasting and devouring human beings wax barbarous. He was, therefore, afraid to acquaint them with the sacrament of the Lord's Sup- per, because they would, in turn, ask him why it was wrong to eat each other and yet @ part of religion to ent their God. Me doubted his ability to explain the matter satisfactorily to their untutored minds, and «0 for tear that they would regard him ax an im- postor and return to their barbarous ways, he let the matter rest. “This wax not satisfactory,” contin: ‘ued Senator Vest, ax he told the story. “to the governor of the province of Vancouver or the bishop of the Eng- Jirh ehureh, both of whom deamanded ‘that he should either administer the Sacrament or else give up his lay min- intry in the ehureh, Duncan explained ‘the reasonn which had actuated him, Init they were not accepted ax suff cient. He appealed to the highest au- ‘thorities of the Chureh of England ‘and was overruled. He went back to ‘his Indians and asked them if they would accompany him to Alaska, ‘where they would be under a flag that ‘guaranteed religious freedom. — Al- most the entire tribe of 1,200 Indians decided to follow him. “When [ was there the Indians were taking the doors off their houses, the sashes from their windows, and their seanty furniture from their rooms, preparatory to sniling away in their great cances, in order to start life over again in a new country. It was an T have said, the most pathetic scene Lever witnessed, It was more than thin,” added Senator Vest. speaking with almost vehement emphasis, “It wus the most conspicnous example of religions prejudice and fanaticism 1 aon ests nahn ©.

Uncle Dan used to say, "Things'll come out all right; What if the clouds are dark to day? It may be clear by twolight! Drive in by face and what you must, Drive in the sky and His laws are just! Bear like a man what he gives you to bear, Launch! when your plans go wrong! A care the policeman that drives off care And there's poultry for pain in a song. a never mind," Uncle Dan said to me. When my savings were sweep away; space yourself up and let folks see that your nerve's right here to stay. make a new hold and try it once more. a plenty of others have had to before! What might seem to be at their worst they might. Be a little worse yet, you know; The day that's darkest may clear by night. And the sun may set in a glow." Uncle Dan sat in the dentist's chair. With his jaws propped wide apart; I looked at the poor man wriggling there, And was sorry, with all my heart! But "Brace up and face what you must; Gods in the sky and His laws are just— Stand like a man what He gives you to stand. Smile when the probe stakes low; Show that your nerve is right on hand— It might be worse, you know. "Brace yourself up and still be gay, Things'll come out all right; What's the day Though life is a hard pull by day And an aching void at night, Still there may come—" but my Uncle Jumped from the chair, wherefore Iran, And he heard him muttering things I dare Not put in my rhyme, and he Said he would never chair, But has quit his preaching to her! -S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Times-Herald. By Olive Winston Gage. LETITIA HOUGHTON was going to be married; consequently many of her dear feminine friends said it was a shame, a scandal, for Letitia to think of such folly at her time of life. These same authorities declared she was 55 years old, adding there was no fool like an old one. Letitia was on the sunny side of 45, but did not look as if she were 40, being handsome, with a pretty home, a tidy income, a kind heart and a sound head. The beneficiaries of her bounty had become accustomed to consider her a spinster, too confirmed a devotee to single blessedness to change her state. What right had that old thing to be taken in by an impeccable adventurer, when she had friends of her lifetime who naturally expected—she had no kinpeople—to be remembered in her will, not that they were mercenary, but that they had a sort of claim upon her. Remarks of this kind were freely indulged in when the invitations were received. Twenty-five or thirty women talking at once is rather confusing, and as the speakers became excited the comments became more personal and assumed an ill-natured turn. It was at a church sewing circle, and tongues were flying faster than needles. An exceedingly pretty and richly dressed woman, a guest of the society, now took up the cudgels in defense of the absent. "Ladies, ladies, is this a modern school for scandal, or a church society held in the basement of a sacred edifice? You all have cause to be grateful to Letitia; why should you speak of her so bitterly now, because she exercises the right we have all claimed?" Mrs. Alyn Alden was a leader of society, whose dictum made or unmade a newcomer entering the charmed circle. Mrs. Jennie, as Mrs. Alden was generally called, was a power, and with promptitude they proceeded to eat their words with marvelous celerity. Mrs. Jennie smiled and bade them good morning. On the way to Miss Letitia's she made a gesture as if she had touched an ill-smelling weed. "What a power of harm such women can do at times! I do not pose as a reformer, but I really would like to recall the ducking stool for their benefit. Poor Letitia! I hope she has not chosen unwisely." Her musings ceased as the cochman drew rein before the pretty old-fashioned garden of the Houghtons. Mrs Jennie was met in the yard by the bride-elect, whose fresh and fair complexion had defied the ravages of time. With her bright hazel eyes and wavy light brown hair, she might have passed for 35 at most. "Come into the house, Jennie; it's lovely out here amongst the flowers, but I have some things I wish to show you; the dress has come; I am too old to be married in white satin, so I selected a pink brocade trimmed with lace. I have never had so many pretty clothes made at one time in my life, for I never needed to. I don't think I'm envious, but when I saw all my friends' hands some outfits it occurred to me that it would be an inducement to marry. Do you not like it?" "But where did you meet the man you expect to marry, Letitia? I would not give my life into the keeping of an utter stranger." "You needn't be uneasy about me; he's a very pleasant man, and I'm positive we will get on very well together; as for love, we are not young people, and have said nothing about that, but we will do well enough as friends. Did you notice that black and gold visiting silk, Jennie?" Mrs. Jennie perceived that the bride-to-be preferred to talk about her clothes instead of the man she had promised to marry, and made no other effort to drag him into the conversation. Miss Letitia brought every article for Mrs. Jennie's inspection. "Do stay to lunch; I so much to tell you yet! I want it understood that I meant what I said when I wrote on the cards I didn't want presents; please make my friends understand that, will you? I know that they will want to give me presents; you can't know how glad I am that I am liked, Jennie." Mrs. Alden would not shake Miss Letitia's faith in the professions of friendship she believed sincere, but when their spiteful comments were recalled it angered her afresh with them. For that purpose Mrs. Jennie drove back by the church, where she found the society dispersing. She did not alight, but told them of Miss Letitia's wish. She of the sharp tongue gave a shrill little cackle and said: "That means we must give them without fail; she's afraid we won't give anything, and takes that means to make sure. "Was that the reason you had 'no flowers' on the cards when your daughter graduated? Letitia's bouquet was weighted with a jeweled butterfly. So glad you enlightened me; I have wondered why that clause was inserted, but had no idea it meant exactly opposite what it said. It is never too late to learn—wisdom. Good morning. I must go home." Mrs. Ponsonby gazed after the carriage and said to her dear familiar friend: "Mrs. Alden does have the knack of taking one by surprise; she confuses a person so; of course, I didn't mean—that is, I didn't intend to own—" "That you took that way of assuring Sophia a number of bouquets and presents? I thought you didn't mean to say that, dear, did you?" suggested the friend, sweetly. Miss Letitia's wedding night had arrived. She was looking extremely handsome and accepted the effusive compliments of her friends in apparently good faith; they declared she did not look a day over 40. As yet the groom had not made his appearance; Miss Letitia had excused herself a moment or two, but as the minutes lengthened into an hour without her returning, significant glances were exchanged and the buzz of many voices was heard. It is astonishing how much pleasure some people derive from the distress or mortification of their friends. Mrs. Ponsonby and her coterie were insinuating that something was wrong; voicing pity which their eyes and countenance belied. Thoroughly exasperated, Mrs. Jennie was about to give a crushing retort, when Miss Letitia reappeared. She was slightly pale, her demeanor a mixture of regret and dignity, while a blending of defiance was depicted in her erect attitude. "Ive had a telegram from Mr. Langworthy; business of a family nature, which I shall not be at liberty to divulge indiscriminately, compels him to start for Europe as he sent the message off; consequently there will be no wedding-to-night. That need not interfere with our enjoyment of the supper; the presents will be returned to their donors to-morrow. Mr. Alden, will you see me to the table? The minister will take you, Jennie." Her astounding revelations called forth a chorus of ohs and abs, and a dozen excited women began to ply her with questions, protesting against her returning the presents, but she waved them aside. She gave her guests no time to discuss her affairs in groups, but marched them into the dining-room, some wearing from the undiminished pangs of curiosity an expression as if they were being led to instant execution. Miss Letitia was the life of the party, and the theory that she had been jilted did not gain ground; her explanation was accepted as true—as far as it went. More than one face became blank when Miss Letitia said: "Jennie, be sure to come around tomorrow and help me pack those presents; some are so—valuable I will not be satisfied until they are returned; fortunately all are labeled." "I will come, with pleasure, Letitia," replied Mrs. Alden, while Mrs. Ponsonby whispered dolefully: "If she would ask-me." Early next morning Mrs. Jennie accordingly put in her appearance, finding her friend in exceedingly good spirits. While tying up a gandy plated cake stand, a gift from Mrs. Ponsonby, Mrs. Alden said: "Letitia, why return the presents? Were you in earnest when you said there was not much likelihood of there being a marriage?" Miss Leitia was bending over the bed, replacing a handsome silver ladle in its velvet box. The constrained position may have been the cause of her heightened color. Her face, as she turned toward Mrs. Alden, wore conflicting expressions; triumph, shame, and over all a half sad, half defiant look. Her first words were apparently irrelevant: "I've learned much. Jennie," she said, as she folded a dozen fine thread-cambric handkerchiefs and placed them with fingering regret in the costly box they came in: "how exquisite these are, and like the donor! Oh, yes, I was saying how much I had learned since I had sent out those tickets. I've always had a too-confiding disposition, and, while I'm not now a cynic, I've had eye-openers, plenty of them. "Going about to different stores, riding windy days,驶着, on the cars, have given me an insight into people's character that has been both painful and profitable; I needn't tell you whom I mean, for I see you know. I'm not a sentimental fool; the only regret is self-contempt that I've been taken in them so long, but I've never outgrown a girlish pleasure in being liked. "You had your husband and children, and I never begrudged wives and mothers their happiness, for my life had been a healthy, happy one, and so completely am I a spinster that I believe I was born one; I never seen the man I have ever imagined I could fancy, but there was one thing I did want." Mrs Alden had listened sympathetically; as Miss Letitia paused for breath she ventured to speak. "What was that, Letitia?" "You may laugh, Jennie, if you wish, but that was no more nor less than a trousseau!" "What? Do you mean that—" What? Do you mean that "i meap, and I know it will go no further, that I couldn't have a trouseau without a marriage, and that was why I sent out cards. Don't you understand, Jennie? The marriage could not take place—because there was no bridegroom at all; now it's out." For once Mrs. Alden was surprised beyond the power of expression, but when she did recover her merry laughter she was delightful to hear and was joined by Letitia. "What a good joke!" gasped Mrs. Jennie. "Wouldn't it make the Richmond dames open their eyes? It shall go no further, though I would like Alyn to know, if you have no objection. What would Mrs. Ponsonby say?" "Embellish it until we wouldn't know it; but there's one thing she won't enjoy any more; expectations of sharing my fortune. I shall leave my money as a fund for old maids' trousseaux."—Boston Globe. Our Agricultural Interests at the Paris Exposition The Corn Kitchen and Other Features Are Attracting Much Attention from Visitors THE CORN MUSEUM THE AMERICAN CORN KITCHEN AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION. VERY visitor to the Paris exposition comments on the elaborate sition comments on the elaborate displays made by the United States in every department. And well they may, for there is no other foreign nation represented inside the gates that has prepared such an elaborate exhibit as America. There is probably as much or more interest taken in the agricultural exhibits from America as the exhibits in other departments of the fair. This interest is shown by every class of visitor unless one excepts the society people of raris. As yet there has been but a small attendance of the peasant classes from the nations of Europe, but the few that I have seen within the grounds have turned to the American agricultural exhibit and examined it with care. To these people America is still the land of plenty, of glorious possibilities, of free homes. The land to which relatives or friends have gone and prospered. To them the agricultural exhibits are directly in their line of thought, and they view with wonder the products of the soil. I have watched them and wondered if this exhibit would not tend to increase the immigration to our shores of these European peasant classes. THE AMERICAN CORN KITCH Will they not put forth greater efforts to reach a land where such products as we are displaying at this great expo-ision is possible? Of all our agricultural exhibits none is proving more popular than the corn kitchen. It is located on the third floor of the agricultural building, and is in charge of one of the most expert cooks that could be found. Here is a reproduction of an American New England kitchen, all sorts of foods made from corn are prepared and served free. Corn cakes, muffins, puddings and a host of other goods made from this grain are cooked and baked, the idea being to show the many attractive dishes that can be made from corn. In appearance this corn kitchen is a building within itself, and as I have looked at it I thought how well it would have appeared on the outside of the oig building in which it is situated, but it is serving its purpose quite well as it is. When the great fair is over I should like to know just how many people have been fed at this kitchen, how many bushels of corn have been consumed, for as yet no one has been turned away without some of the dainty morsels prepared from our American corn, and should we keep up this record the numbers fed will run well into the millions before the fair is over. Aside from the impression our agricultural exhibits are ma-ing on the few of the peasant classes who have visited the exposition, our agricultural products are attracting attention from the importers of the old world. These men who buy for Europe are investigating carefully our agricultural resources and comparing our products with those of other selling nations, much to our advantage. I believe, and it is to be expected that our exhibits will be the means of increasing our exports of agricultural products. The Parisians are above all things judges of wine and fashions, and if they approve of our vineyard products we should feel highly gratified at the success we have achieved. This exhibit is the feature of the government agricultural exhibit, and into it certain people are invited for the purpose of sampling the products of our wine presses. Great discretion is exercised in selecting visitors to sample these wines, and only such as are apt to prove importers and buyers of the beverages are asked to taste them. But to go back to the more strictly agricultural interests of the country. It is expected that this exposition will prove of inestimable value to the farming interests of America, because of the demand that our exhibits will produce for American-grown products. With this idea in view everything possible has been done to show the excellence of American wheat, corn, rye and other cereal products, while equal attention has been given to displaying the best of our apples, pears and other fruits. It is believed that the Paris exposition presents a splendid opportunity to make all Europe well acquainted with the possibilities of this country as a grain and fruit producer. The agricultural department has gone into the present exhibition with the sole idea of helping the farming and export interests and it is believed that as a result of this exhibition a large foreign demand will be created for many of our goods which are now kept entirely at home. Commissioner General Peck assured me that the preliminary work of selecting specimens for Paris was begun nearly a year ago. The department designated certain farmers in various parts of the country to furnish samples for Paris. These men were selected on account of their repultations as expert growers and pro- EN AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION. ducers of fine fruits and grains. In this way the department was assured of the very best specimens that could be produced, and in many instances the fruits were grown with the special idea in view of having them exhibited at Paris. The agricultural department has had charge of the installation of 1,400 collective exhibits at Paris. These goods have been furnished by the various agricultural men throughout the country, and have been arranged in the various buildings as our commissioners thought best. Commissioner Peek allotted space to 400 individual exhibitors, who shipped and installed at their own expense displays of fine agricultural products and various types of farming implements. The exhibit in charge of the government officials is very extensive and includes wheat and corn in all stages of growth, as well as large quantities of the ripened grain samples of which are furnished for personal inspection. There is also a comprehensive exhibit of all varieties of vegetable food products, including rye barley, rice, millet, beans, peas, beets. The dairy interests are also fully represented and there are samples of American cheese butter and preserved milk. The inedible agricultural products include cotton, flax, hemp, fats, oils, etc. Decidence. "Where have you been all evening? George? What has kept you out so late?" "Why—why, mother, I was coming home, and I met a lot of the boys. They said there was going to be a lecture at—the hall, you know, and after the lecture was over I missed the street car. That's why I am so late." "O, George?" sighed the gray-haired matron. "your excuses are not nearly as good as your father used to make."—Chicago Tribune.

A Novel Method of School Teaching in CHICAGO There is not, in novel institution of Chicago, a more learning than the University Elementary school, conducted by Prof. John Dewey, of the University of Chicago. Prof. Dewey's doctrine is that "education is a process of living, and not a preparation for future living"; and that "the process and goal of education are one and the same thing." The Children Forming Proper Images Children Forming and the same Proper Images thing." The school was founded for the purpose of carrying out Prof. Dewey's sociological ideas in so far as they touch upon school life in the primary grades; and the institution may be regarded as an educational laboratory wherein various pedagogical theories are tested. The casual observer would probably make neither head nor tail of the class instruction as it is carried on in this school, and would conclude that the children were enjoying a perpetual holiday. It is the opinion of Prof. Dewey that the only thing which a child gets out of any subject presented to him is simply the images he himself forms with regard to it. He further urges that "if nine-tenths of the energy at present directed towards making the child learn certain things were spent in seeing to it that the child was forming proper images the work of instruction would be indefinitely facilitated." In Prof. Dewey's school there seems to be no immediate danger that the children will not be given a chance to form plenty of images, for a certain portion of the time devoted to each class is spent in the open air, and if images are not readily gained from the lessons at hand, there are many natural images which may easily be substituted by the children. In this respect the school is most fortunately located, for there are many vacant lots adjoining or near the ample school grounds themselves, and two large parks are within easy walking distance. It is the aim of the school to give the child a chance to be wholly himself and to immaculate him with learning in such small doses that he will be wholly unaware of the process A School Without Books: A **school without books!** This seems almost a misnomer; but the seems almost a n children who attent tend Prof. John Dewey's University elementary school have little use for individual books. The schoolrooms are not treated as places in which to learn and recite lessons, but are really visiting rooms where teachers and pu pils meet to comp pare experiences and exchange A questions and ideas. There are no rules which forbid whispering or low talking during school hours, and the children are expected to conduct themselves very much as they would at home. The school contains a carpenter shop, laboratory, studio, gymnasium, library, kitchen and dining-room; a miniature textile factory for weaving, sewing, etc., and a small printing establishment. In these various departments groups of children, ranging in ages from four to thirteen years, may be seen, the children of each group gathered about their teacher in a friendly, social way, listening to the stories which she employs to impress upon them the lessons which she desires them to learn. If the ordinary public school pupil looks upon a difficult lesson something as he would view a bitter pill which he is compelled to swallow, he would certainly look upon the lessons taught in the Dewey school as sugar-coated pills and he might even mistake them for candy. Thus, for example, a half hour's informal chat on number work is succeeded by a half hour in the garden, where beds are laid out by exact measurement, are spaded and made ready to receive the seeds. The sprouts which appear will be watched jealously as the season progresses. Every plant as it develops will be studied from a botanical and scientific standpoint. The class will make little excursions to study the flora of the nearby parks and in its rambles will learn from the teacher's lips something concerning the characteristic flora of various corners of the globe. Thus unconsciously the pupils learn something of arithmetic, botany, science and geography while they are having the biggest kind of an outdoor picnic. As History Is Taught The ordinary pupil who attends the public school and who looks forward who looks forward to a 2:30 o'clock history. I le w a m with just as much regularity as he does his dinner and with a great deal more anxiety would view with open eyes and mouth the methods by which history is taught in the Dewey school. For instance, he would see a knot of children gathered about a DE LA FLEUR History Pupils Build of children gath- bondres reed about a young woman, listening to her stories as prehistoric races—of the adventures of the cave men and of the home life and crude inventions of primitive man. Then he would see the group leave the building and proceed to a near-by lot. Here they would attempt to live out the stories they had heard. They would be given their choice of such occupations as the molding of clay vessels, the digging of caves or the building of brick stoves and the starting of fires. It is probably due to a natural weakness of youngsters in general that the children belonging to the history classes almost invariably elect to build bonfires. There is little fear but that the public school pupil would appreciate the gloriousness of the new method. In connection with the lessons in history, in primitive cooking and in the baking of clay vessels the pupils are taught to be very careful in the handling of fire. One little girl made the noteworthy discovery that "the fire is inside the ashes." In more advanced history classes the teacher may perhaps read to her group of scholars—who are seated about her in easy attitudes—the history of the early pilgrim settlers, told in entertaining story form. The following day the children retail these stories to each other and to their teacher. One his history class manifested a good deal of interest in the story of the first wash day of the pilgrims in America. "And Monday's been the washday ever since!" spoke up one boy. "Yes." answered a second, soberly. Then, with a confidential tone, he continued: "But Tuesday's the meanest day. When the clothes are out you can't play in the back yard or throw stones or have any fun at all!" The Drawing Class Probably the most picturesque of all the groups in the Dewey school is the the groups in the drawing class. This class, with full drawing paraphernalia sools, paints, brushes, water glasses and paper may be seen in the morning wending its way to some spot in the pasture which in the mind of the teacher is worthy to be perpetuated en the drawing tablets of her enthusiastic followers. Avoidin Are Taught Printed plies of Painting lowers. Avoiding one or two cows which have been picketed out for a nibble of the new grass, the pupils at last reach a favorable spot and proceed to set up their camp stools and to get their materials ready for drawing. Then comes a discussion as to the color of the sky, of the ground and of the willows in the distance, and of the general perspective. By experience and from the patient explanations of the teachers the pupils learn how to reproduce these effects on paper—in short, they are taught the fundamental principles of landscape painting, and under the most favorable anpies. The little daily paper which is edited by the children contains many startling revelations and gives a history of the day's doings. The contributions are written by the children themselves and contain characteristic expressions. The following extract from the University Elementary School Paper reveals one occupation which follows along the line of the stories regarding early husbandry: "We ground corn with two stones. We took one stone and put the corn on it and then put the other stone on that and rubbed it down, and that ground the corn. Then we sifted it to get the flour out." This issue also contains the information that the children are soon to make plans for a clubhouse, for which they already have a building fund of $50, and that the children themselves are to build as much of the house as possible. In the Kitchen. In the cooking department in the Dewey school, number work comes in to promo uned play, for all the ingredients are measured or weighed. Classes here receive instruction in cooking, setting the table, etc., and the social idea is carried out to the extent of having certain, classes prepare the midday luncheon. The boys seem to take no less pride in this accomplish. Taken Pride in the Accomplishment. Takes Pride in the Accomplishment ment than the girls, and are quite as neat and orderly in the kitchen. On the other hand, when it comes to work in the chemical laboratory, the girls are fully equal to the boys in making successful experiments. In the carpenter shop, also, there is no distinction between the two. In this connection the only thing which may seem a bit incongruous is the fact that all of the teachers in the carpenter shop are women. While they appear to be young women of energy, it is to be doubted if they have spent much time as apprentices to "sure enough" carpenters. If Prof. Dewey's school continues to be a success we may expect much in this line from the future woman; but until this happy change is brought about is it not to be feared that a woman driving a nail will still continue to be a woman, and not a carpenter, driving a nail? However, perhaps a bit of daylight through the joints will not seriously be desired to impress upon the children. It is hoped by Prof. Dewey that his school will lead children directly to the doors of the university. MILTON B. MARK8.

In his history of New York, one of the classes of American authorships, Diedrick Knickerbocker (Washington Irving) wrote lovingly, yet with unconscious amusement, of the traditions of his loved New Netherlands, the traditions of his loved Hudson from Albany to Manhattan, the many legends with which the entire region abounds—notably that of Rip Van Winkle and his long sleep—and of the ancient names of the people who power in that locality. So far-reaching were the effects of the "History" that in time the name "Knickerbocker" became the popular one for the patron saint of New York City, he usually been represented as a benign character, but he was also the long stemmed clay pipe which Irving immortalized and gaved over his beloved City. Recognizing the vein of sentiment in the American people long ago a train service was built to which Father Knickerbocker lent his name and through the efforts of the line which introduced the service the "Knickerbocker Special" has become as familiar to the average traveled American as to the revered moon, the traveler is borne swift and safely to Father Knickerbocker's abode, traversing by daylight those scenes with which he was so familiar, arriving at New York the day it was in time for a leisurely preparation for the holiday. So popular has the service proven that the Big Four has started a new train as a companion, it leaving St. Louis 8:00 A.M., receiving all Western and Southwestern connections and arriving in New York on the 10th. It was known as the New York and Boston Limited, but the wayfarer who travels much will call it Number Sixteen in emulation of his railroad brethren and inquire it "she is on time. A time to travel." The Big Four's motto is "Comfort in travel," and the train amply lives up to the motto, as a trip on it will prove to those who delicately convenience in travel. A letter to the General Office of the Big Four at Cincinnati about any of their trains was a receive a prompt and courteous reply.

You learned good deal from her, did you not?” “A good deal? Everything! I learned everything from her. She ' taught me what life ie—what art is.” “Quite so, What art is, and what ‘Dick is not. * And now you have made up your mind to go and live that ideal life in London; and as you have done me the honor to ask my advice in the matter, it is most gratifying to me to be able to tell you that I believe you to be quite right.” “You advise me to go to London?” “Undoubtedly Ido. Why should you remain in a place where it is impossib'e that any work of art could receive the appreciation of which it is desery- ing?” “I'm so glad you think so. Oh, i feet that I have got it in me to succeed ns an artist. T cannot expect to have a studio of my own all at once, of course, but I mean to share one with Angela and a couple of other girls.” “That will be @ capital plan at first.

He knew from that laugh that he had rightly guessed what was in her heart. Life wax not life #0 long as It did not make people open thelr eyes. “L know I shall have to work hard.” she said; “but what signifies working hard when it leads to appreciation?" “What, indeed?

Interesting Report from Americas Consuls on Methods Em- ploged Atrend. Oe ee Tee ee a ae, partment became interested in the study of the disposal of garbage, sew. age, ete,, in foreign cities, and solicited the aid of the state department in ob: taining information. ‘The department, says the St. Louis Republic, directed the consular officers of the United States to forward all information ob tuinable. Among the first to respond was the consul at Marseilles. To a| ‘Frenchman's mind there was some-| thing very like in our words “garbage” ‘the consul applied gayly responded: “Garbage is one of the finest dishes of the place, Well cooked and nicely pre- pared, ah they do it in this country, it is something very exquisite.” | | Writing from Santingo de Cuba, Com sul Hyatt draws a lively picture of the unique way of disposing of matters in that place. “He writes that “dead eat: ‘tle, horses, mules and large dogs are hauled to the suburbs and dumped by the rondside the same as garbage. Ail jother matter ix thrown into the streets or on the neighbor's roofs, to be de- voured by buvzards, Before throwing a dead cat or dog into the street it ix | customary to tie a cord to the tail of “the animal; this insures having it ‘hauled away from the door, as the children will play horse by dragging it around the streets, and seldom de: liver It again to the owners.” ‘An uncanny tale comes from Consu) Fowler that makes the reader feel creepy. He says: “The cleanest cities In China are Hang-Chow and Ning-Pox. In the con. ter of these two cities T have myselt sven dogs eating bodies of babies; the rotting corpses of cholera cases, snakes slowly winding In and out; many dogs slime, dead cata; in fact, the most hor | rible ith on one side, while across the way the glitter of gold, pomp and lux: urys such are the principles of a Chi nese street. ‘The garbage collector is the beggar or the starving dog.” | “Consul, Ragsdale writen from ‘Tien ‘Tain that “ail animal food le compara- tively contly and the mass of the people are poor, The methods are from house-to-house collection.
