Frank Wheaton, representative from the 42nd Legislative District of Hennepin county and Imperial Organizer of the United Brotherhood, a fraternal insurance company, with headquarters in Chicago, is in the city. It is expected that Mr. Wheaton will, in his own inimical style, give a jest to the campaign in Hennepin county not bribing him from any other source. It is said that it is the expressed desire of Capt. Van Sant and Chairman Bixby that the brilliant attorney and forceful orator, stump the state for the Republican nominees. For the enlightenment of the colored voters of the Twin Cities on the issues of the present campaign, it has been suggested that Hon. J. Frank Wheaton has a series of joint debates with Hon. F. F. McCormick, well known St. Paul attorney and orator. The Ames and Schlenner meetings in the same hall, on Wednesday evening, was a novelty in Hennepin county politics. It is the general opinion of those present that the meeting will redown to the advantage of Dr. Ames, who very courteously offered to allow Mr. Schlenner to address the meeting called in by Mayor James Gray addressed the employees of the flour mills at the foot of Sixth avenue Wednesday noon and was enthusiastically received. A. B. Chote, Democratic candidate for district judge, made a very instructive address on the primary election law. Both gentlemen were then compelled to run the gauntlet of a protracted handshaking. At the time of going to press the Democratic state convention was in session at the Auditorium, at St. Paul and every indication points to the nomination of the following ticket subject to one or two revisions: Governor—Iohn Lind. Lieut. Governor—Jas. J. McHale Sec. of State—Wilhelm Petterson Atty General—T. D. O'Brien. R. R. and Warehouse Commissioners—T. J. Knox, P. M. Ringdal and M. E. Neary. Chief Justice and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court—Frank C. Brooks and S. H. Moer. Arthur E. Sewell, the Democratic nominee for vice president in 1896, died at his summer home, Small Point, Me, on Wednesday 2:30 a.m. of apoplexy. He suffered the stroke which resulted in his death on last Sunday. The deceased was sixty-four years of age. The republican county committee has opened its headquarters in the Oneida building. Indications point to the nomination of Judge Chas. B. Elliot by the Republican or district judge and to the nomination of John W. Alexander by the Democrats for the same office. Should these indications be verified, the people of Heinemp county are sure of an able and conscientious judge, regardless of which party is successful at the polls. W. D. Washburn, Jr., has at the 11th hour announced himself a candidate for the Republican nomination for the legislature and his friends and supporters were busy until a late hour Wednesday night getting the required number of names to insure the presence of his name on the official ballot. The result of the election in Vermont seems to offer a satisfaction to both parties. The Republicans claim the Vermont election is some indication of the attitude of New England anent the issues of the present campaign while the Democrats claim that the desire of Republican majority points to a growth of Democratic sentiment. It is evident that the two great parties will not come to blows over the result in Vermont. Gilchrist Stewart, the Republican politician of South Dakota, is making Rome howl in his native heath. Well might Senator Pettigrew have been disturbed about his home coming. JUST LOOK HERE We will not insult your intelligence.

To Be Known as National Party with Statue of Liberty as Emblem- Platform Adopted Opposes Imper- ristism and Declares for a Single Gold standard. New York, Sept. 7.—The national party—the official name of the third party—met in convention Wednesday in Carnegie hall, this city, and nomi- nated candidates for president and vice president of the United States. A platform was adopted and a title and emblem chosen. These are the candidates: For president, Donaldson Caffery, of Louisiana. For vice president, Archibald Murray Howe, of Cambridge, Mass. There were no other candidates for the positions and the nominations were received with hearty applause. The platform adopted says: "We, citizens of the United States of America, assembled for the purpose of defending the wise and conservative principle of the Constitution, thus declare our aims and purposes: "We find the country threatened with alternative perils. On one hand is a public mercy that has perverted the mercialism that have perverted a war intended by the people to be a war of humanity into a war of conquest. On the other hand is a mercy that has demagogic appeals to factional and class DONELSON CAFFERY. (National Party Candidate for President.) passions; the most fatal diseases of a republic. We believe that either of these influences, if unchecked, would ultimately compass the downfall of our country, but we also believe that neither represents the other country. "Convinced that the extension of the jurisdiction of the United States for the purpose of holding foreign people as colonial dependencies is an innovation dangerous to our liberties and repugnant to our national interests, upon which our government is founded, we pledge our efforts through all constitutional means— "First, to procure the renunciation of all imperial or colonial pretensions with regard to foreign countries claimed to have been defeated through or in consequence of military naval operations of the last two years. "Second, we further pledge our efforts to secure a single gold standard and a sound banking system. "Third, we secure a public service based on merit only." "Fourth, secure the abolition of all corrupting special privileges, whether under the guise of subsidies, bounties, undeserved pensions or trust-breeding tariffs." The Proceedings. The convention was called to order by Thomas M. Osborne, of Auburn, N. Y., who presided at the Indianapolis preliminary meeting a month ago. Everett V. Abbott was secretary. There was no roll call. All the delegates were volunteers who had replied by their presence to the invitations issued to all persons in sympathy with the objects of the party. Chairman Osborne's speech in calling the meeting to order followed the lines which are expressed in the platform. Speeches were also made by John Jay Chapman and Archibald Murray Howe. It was decided that the party be known as the national party and that its emblem be the statue of liberty on the capitol dome at Washington. A resolution was passed instructing the campaign committee when it shall be appointed to provide pasters for voters who wish to cross out any name on the democratic or republican electoral ticket, the pastor to have on it the name of some citizen known to stand for "peace, liberty and sound money." This is to be done in any state in which the committee finds such a movement is practical. Object to Paying Bond Issue Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 7. 7-Proceedings have been instituted here to enjoin the city of Chattanooga from paying the bond issue of $100,000, which will soon be due the Cincinnati Southern Railway company. The grounds of the injunction are that according to the state constitution the bonds were illegally issued. Depth Very Near Springfield, Ill., Sept. 7—Gen. John A.

Most Important Meeting of Catholic Societies to Be Held at Washington September 17. Washington, Sept. 7.—Advices received here indicate that one of the most important meetings of Catholic priests and laymen ever held in this country will convene at Philadelphia under Archbishop Ryan's auspices, on September 17. This meeting will be attended by delegates representing every section of the United States and from all the Catholic benevolent and fraternal societies under the guidance of episcopal authority, which, it is estimated, embraces a membership of fully 150,000 souls. The object in view is to form a federation of these associations if possible, for the good of them all. It is understood that the order known as the "Catholic Knights of America" has initiated the movement looking to the annalgamation, in this respect following the suggestions recently given by Bishop McFaul, of Trenton, N. J. ATTENDS COUNTY FAIR. Secretary of Agriculture Addresses Farmers of Ohio on Agricultural Topics. Canton, O. Sept. 7.—Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, of President McKinley's cabinet, was the guest of honor at the Stark county fair Thursday. In his address Secretary Wilson referred to the new markets being opened up to the farmers of the United States, including the territory in the mining states west of the prairie country, the orient and the West Indies, quoting freely figures to illustrate the increase in exports in recent years. "The United States buys $200,000,000 worth of tropical products annually. It will be our policy in future to educate the brown man in the world about this vast amount of material. The receipt of this amount of money will enable them to set better tables, cloth themselves better, live in better houses and do more for POPULATION OF CITIES.

Gives Notice That She Will Not Withdraw Her Troops from Peking. EVIDENT OTHER POWERS ARE WITH HER Reply to the Russian Note Received at Washington—Dispatches from Chaffee and Barry—Former Reports Occupation of Prince Grounds. Washington, Sept. 7. The attitude of the German government on the Russian proposal for the evacuation of Peking has been made known to the authorities here. It comes in a communication from the American charge d'affaires at Berlin, Mr. William Jackson, and with clearness sets forth the German position. In substance it states that Germany is desirous of avoiding friction between the powers, but that she considers the conditions at Peking such as to require the retention of German forces there. Her Position Final. The statement of Germany's views is made in such form as to be taken as conclusive that it is Germany's purpose not to withdraw her troops from Peking, even though Russia should do WASHINGTON SHEN TUNG, the stifle in China has in no wise affected the popularity of Washington Shen Tung, the new baby of the Chinese legation at Washington. He is the darling of the American way, the object of interest to all Caucasian women who are permitted to peep at his oblique eyes and his yellow skin. Washington is the son of Mr. Shen, the first secretary of the Chinese legation. He will be bred American ways, so that he grows to man's estate he will be in line with his prenomen, knowing all about the history of the great country of his birth. The baby was born August 10 at Chey Chase, Md., the home of Secretary so. It is said to be in the line of a simple announcement than of argument or answer. It is presumed that it reflects the views made known by Germany to Russia. Other Powers in Line. While there is no definite information as to the attitude of most of the other countries there is reason to believe the German position in favor of remaining at Peking finds strong sympathetic approval at other European capitals, and that it will be the basis of like action from other powers, if indeed they have not already made it known that they are in favor of remaining at Peking. In this connection a new consideration has arisen, namely, whether the ministers shall remain at Peking along with the troops, as it appears to be generally accepted that the troops of some, if not all, of the powers will remain at the Chinese capital. But this is on the ground that the military force is necessary to preserve order. There is no such necessity for continuing the presence of the foreign minister, so that the negotiations are now taking into consideration the departure of the ministers to Tientsin even should the troops be retained. May Prepare Another Note. Without doubt the developments of the past 24 hours are regarded as important by the state department and perhaps the German view, taken in connection with the French response, which while not so positive in terms as that of Germany is still full of significance, has determined the state department to take another forward step in the negotiations. There were signs Thursday morning of activity and of consultations between the officials and even of a conference between the president and Acting Secretary Hill which seemed to mark the preparation of another note from the United States on the subject of the Chinese troubles. Reports as to the military conditions in Peking came to Washington Thursday from three sources, namely, from Gen. Chaffee, from Gen. Barry, and finally from Minister Conger. Each of them indicated that quiet prevailed in Peking and that the troops are meeting with no opposition in their occupation. All are silent as to the political situation there. Reports Entry of Palace Grounds. Washington, Sept. 7.—The war department Thursday received the following: —Taku, China (no date).—Adjutant General, Washington—Peking. 26th.—The officers and soldiers of the China relief expedition send thanks to the president and secretary of war for message of congratulations on the details of detainment grounds made to-day at sight of clock, salute of 21 guns being fired at the south and north nets.

Russian Monroe Doctrine. London, Sept. 7. - What is now designated in some quarters as an attempt to establish a "Russian Monroe doctrine" in Asia seems doomed to modification. Hence the prospects of the continued concord of the powers are believed to be improving.

She can speak but two English words, "Washington aseep," and when she utters these words she leaves her alone with her treasure. Having decided to Americanize their child, the Shena does not dress the little one in the gaudy "good luck" garments of Chinese infants in inordinate western infants' clothes. Washington is attended by an American nurse, thus giving him an early start in his occidental career. When he reaches his majority this young Chinese can claim citizenship by virtue of his birth in the United States. perial edict as Chinese peace commissioners will furnish Russia with a plausible reason to join in the American demand for the appointment of a more satisfactory commission and give Russia ground for delaying the withdrawal of her troops from Peking until the Chinese imperial party shows a more conciliatory disposition. Prince Tuan Near Peking According to a dispatch from Shanghai it is reported there that Prince Tuan is hiding within easy reach of Peking, awaiting the result of the present conference of the powers. The rumors emanating from Shanghai that the expedition which, it is said, will shortly start for Pao-Tong will go thence to Tai-Yuan-Fu, capital of the province of Shan-61, where the dowager empress, emperor and court are sojourning, can be dismissed as fantastic. The allied forces are in no way equipped for such a crusade. Boxers Still Active. The Boxers are still active in Shantung province. An official dispatch from Tain-Tau reports that 400 Boxers attacked a patrol of German marines near Lan-Tsun (7), September 5, with the result that 40 Boxers were killed and the Germans suffered no loss. A Remarkable Statement. A special dispatch from Hong-Kong contains the remarkable statement that Li Hong Chang has received advices from Peking to the effect that the allied forces are gradually handling over the government of the capital to the Chinese and that Prince Ching (former president of the tung-li-yuan) has been placed in charge of the imperial city. More British Troops Land at Shanghai Shanghai, Sept. 4. About 1,200 more British Indian troops have been landed here, making altogether 2,000 of such troops and 1,000 camp followers at this port.

A magnificent floral shield was presented to the colonel at Essex by Gen. Duffield, chairman of the welcoming committee. This shield stands on an easel and is draped above and below with large wreaths of American Beauty.

He will leave Cleveland Sunday night for Chicago, where he expects to remain for several weeks. The senator, as usual, declined to discuss the political situation or to make any prophecies. Asked for an expression on the result of the election in Vermont, Mr. Hanna said the temperance question entered largely into the issue in that state, and that he did not believe there was any particular significance in the result, so far at least as the national campaign was concerned.

Staples (two years) - EDITORIAL PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR COMING The information is given out by one high in the councils of the Minnesota Law Enforcement League that under the auspices of this organization the poetic genius of the negro race, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, is coming to the city to deliver a lecture. It speaks of a good judgment, the promoters of the race that they chosen one of the young men of the race for such a purpose. As an object lesson to colored youths of what can be accomplished by perseverance and patience, the appearance of the sweet singer will be of invaluable service. No man ever started to rise in the world from a more humble station or with more obstacles astride his pathway, and achieved more splendid results.

Hurt Him Professionally A New York barkeeper who was spending his vacation in Maine found himself one evening in a hotel in Portland. While he lingered a terrible storm took place. The windows of the room in which he was sitting were broken by hailstones "almost as big as eggs". The proprietor of the hotel noticed that the barkeeper turned aside to do that. "Does the storm scare you?" he ventured to ask his guest. "It isn't that," replied the barkeeper, "but I can't bear to see so much cracked ice wasted in a prohibition state."—N. Y. Mail and Express.

AMERICA AND CHINA. Secretary Evans's Letter of December $0, 1880, to the Peking Government May Prove Itself a Dipl- omatic Booerang. THERE is considerable talk in the newspapers about "indemnity" for the outrages which have been committed in China against foreigners temporarily resident in that empire. At the department of state the officials express the belief that there will be no other indemnity, separation nor retribution for anything which has been done. Of course these officials do not talk for publication, because that would be contrary to the rules and precedents of the department, but in private conversation with personal friends they say that "indemnity" is practically out of the question. Li Hung Chang spoke for the imperial government when he said that the treasury of China is so depleted that no cash indemnity can be paid, and that the people of China will not permit any further concessions of territory to the countries interested. The word "indemnity" covers a great deal of ground in international law. It means a complaisant, friendly, fraternal effort on the part of the country in which the outrages have been committed to bring the criminals to justice and retribution; an effort to indemnify the sufferers for their wrongs, or to indemnify their heirs if human lives have been sacrificed; or reparation in the form of abject apology. If the national honor has been specifically involved. The utterances of Li Hung Chang indicate that the Chinese government does not intend to do any of these things, and the eminent oriental statesman speciously pleads the utter inability of the government of Peking to do anything more than publicly express regret for the consequences of the alleged insurrection. Present indications are that there will be no recognition of the fact that the national honor of any country has been involved. What other nations may do under these circumstances can only be conjectured. It is well known that all of the powers of the world cannot demand an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, because the invasion and destruction of the Chinese empire would be impossible. The reasons for this conclusion have heretofore been given with some degree of elaboration. This republic is very unfortunately circumstanced in the matter. It has always fought off the payment of indemnities, and the admission of national responsibility for outrages committed in violation of treaty stipulations. There is one specific case in point which the Chinese government may well cite, and which it will undoubtedly cite. On December 30, 1880, William M. Evarts, our secretary of state, wrote officially to the Chinese minister in Washington as follows: "I know of no principle of national obligation, and there is certainly none arising from treaty stipulation, which renders it incumbent upon the government of the United States to make indemnity to the Chinese residents of Denver who, in common with the citizens of the United States, mob. Whatever remedies may be offered to the citizens of Colorado, or to the citizens of the United States from other states in the union resident in Colorado, for losses resulting from that occurrence are equally open to the Chinese residents of Denver who may be suffered from the lawlessness of the mob." Twenty years ago China was a small factor in international affairs, and every nation snubbed her in diplomatic correspondence. The Chinese minis- A MASSACRE IN SHANTUNG. replied to Secretary Evarts, saying: "China must submit to your decision as to her citizens who have been outraged by a mob in Denver; but I venture the expression of opinion that if the cases were reversed the United States would be disposed to beligerently demand indemnity." The reverse side of the situation has come; and there stands the precedent established by this country. Citizens of China have suffered losses and have been deprive, of their lives, and the Chinese government can readily reply to any demand for indemnity or retribution: "Your own government has established the precedent that prevents you from making any demand upon China. We have the identical letter of your Secretary Evarts on this question, and you are estopped from requiring of China what you declined to admit when our citizenes were outraged and killed in your country." That will undoubtedly be the unanswerable position to be taken. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," is as true to-day as when it was first written; and it is as true of nations as it is of individuals. When our government declined to mete out justice to China, and to her outraged citizens, nobody could foresee the massacre of missionaries, their wives, children and the native converts. Nevertheless, the sense of justice and equity which is born in all men must have lived in the mind and heart of the great statesman who set aside justice and pleaded as Cain pleaded: "Am I my brother's keeper?" But Secretary Evarts was not the first statesman to set up this plea of non-responsibility. So great a man as Daniel Webster, when he was a secretary of state, wrote a letter to the Spanish minister on November 13, 1857, saying: "Private individuals, subjects of her Catholic majesty, coming to reside voluntarily in the United States, have certainly no cause of complaint if they are protected by the same law and the same administration of law as native born citizens of this country." Secretary Blaine, in his letter to the Spanish minister, in reference to the New Orleans riots of 1891, said: "The United States did not by treaty (with Italy), become the insurer of the lives and property of Italian subjects residing within our territory. . . . Foreign residents are not a favored class." That is the doctrine of American diplomacy, and it reads well from our standpoint. But when we are burning with indignation because of the outrages inflicted upon our own people in China it does not sound so well. The letter of Secretary Evarts to the Chinese minister, in 1880, applies directly to the present situation, and clearly demonstrates the difference between the selfishness of diplomacy and the justice of international procedure, Selfishness and self-seeking in nations ultimately prove to be as unfortunate A MASSACRE IN WYOMING. and unwise as selfishness and self-seeking in individuals. It is particularly unfortunate that so-called Christian nations, living under the higher law, the law of love, should so place themselves. Public men in the legislative and executive branches of our government regard it as a matter of deep regret that the federal government has no power to punish violators of international law and of treaty stipulations. State law, in all such cases, is in the way of federal law and procedure. Here are a few examples of riots in our own country, in which the federal government was unable to punish the criminals: The riot in New Orleans in 1851, occasioned by the arrest and execution of some American filibusters in Cubs, when citizens of New Orleans inflicted injury upon the person and property of Spanish subjects. The riot in Denver, 1880, when two Chinamen were beaten to death and a number seriously maltreated. The riot at Rock Springs, Wyo., September, 1885, when 764 Chinamen were killed and wounded. The riot at New Orleans, in 1891, when 11 pirates were taken from jail and put to death by a mob. There are other incidents, but these will suffice. In each instance it was found impossible, on account of local sentiment, to successfully prosecute the perpetrators of these outrages in the local courts, and, in most instances, it was impossible even to institute a prosecution. In each case the foreign country interested insisted and demanded that the United States government should assert its authority and bring the offenders to justice, and seemed incapable of understanding why the United States government should be powerless to act in the premises. Speaking of this condition in the senate, and urging that congress should enact legislation to enable the federal government to act in such cases, Senator Davis of Minnesota, one of our greatest constitutional and international lawyers, said: "This government has been adopting state legislation and state procedure from the beginning. The rules of practice and proceeding are settled by state laws by 45 different codes, by 45 different rules of right and property in as many different states." This is an epitomized statement of the condition of the United States, in constitutional and international law, in the emergency which confronts us when we consider the advisability or necessity of demanding indemnity or retribution for the outrages which have been committed in China. Manifestly our condition, position and precedents are not favorable, and it is not to be wondered that our state department officials are willing to privately admit that we cannot expect any consideration from China, other or better than we have extended to that country and to other countries under similar conditions. When the millennium comes, if not sooner, statesmen will see that it is as wise to serve the nations as it is wise to serve individuals under the moral law, which is higher and better than national or international law, or diplomacy.

The polar bears of Kodiak island weigh from 2,500 to 3,000 pounds, and none of them has ever been caught alive. There are 20 large oyster packing establishments in Norfolk, Va., and it is estimated that they handle 2,500-000 bushels annually, representing a value of $2,000,000. Mount Edgecombe, in Alaska, has one of the largest craters in the world, being five miles in diameter, which is filled with dense forests 2,000 feet below the rim. A man who owns a cocoanut grove in Venezuela is independent, as the fruit continues to ripen all the year and brings a good price. Each tree averages an annual income of five shillings. Saddles, in some form, are of the greatest antiquity. Under Tiglath-Pileser III. the Assyrian cavalry were provided with them, and the early Romans used a covering of cloth, hide or skin, which was no doubt very similar. The public buildings of the United States have cost, since the foundation of the government, exclusive of the buildings in Washington and those employed by the army and navy, $154-755,384. Of this the sites have cost $22,755,167, and there remains $23,843-574 to be expended on these buildings before they are completed. The increasing dearth of women servants was instanced by Canon Duckworth at a recent meeting of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women in London. The other day, he said, a young woman who had advertised for a situation as housemaid on the morning after the advertisement received 80 letters, three telegrams, and three personal visits from ladies anxious to engage her. A marvelous top, capable of spinning 43% minutes, and then remaining erect and still, has been constructed by Prof. Charles Jacobus, for many years superintendent of the New Brunswick (N. J.) public schools, but now of Springfield. Mass. The inventor of the top guards it carefully, and never allows it to pass out of his hands. He has spun it scores of times before scientists in New York, Philadelphia and other cities. FOOD IN OILS OF PLANTS. Much Nutrient Is Contained in the Fats Found in Vegetation of Various Kinds. The possibilities latent in vegetable oils as an article of diet are not utilized, especially in this country, to an extent proportionate to their merits. Theoretically we may admit that plant oils are of the greatest nutritive value, but do not realize the practical importance of this fact. Fat is a substance elaborated by cellular activity in living organisms. Whether the cell that accomplishes the production of the fatty material from indifferent elements, or collects it little by little from the nutritive material supplied to it, be plant or animal, the process and its results are biologically equivalent. The protoplasm of the plant cell is to all intents and purposes exactly the same as that of the animal cell. Analyzed chemically after the death of the cell, they are found to be made up of the same substances. It is no wonder, then, says the Boston Globe, that the various products of their activity should resemble each other. Plant oils and animal fats have, it is true, certain characteristic qualities in which they differ from each other. Certain members of the plant series of fat compounds are, however, much more nearly related to certain animal fats than they are to other members of their own series; and, on the other hand, many animal fats resemble others of their own series much less than they do the plant oils. The more fluid fats contain a larger proportion of olein than do the harder fatty substances, which are rich in palmitin and stearin. The yellow fats are richer in olein than are the white fats, which owe their color mainly to stearin. Human fat is much richer in olein than most other animal fats, and for this reason approaches more nearly many of the vegetable oils. Chemical experience has shown how beneficial for human consumption are the fish oils, which are also rich in olein. The product is, however, expensive, and its preparation for table use requires most careful precautions, as it may have associated with it a number of undesirable substances that make it unpalatable and indigestible, especially for the delicate stomachs of the patients who most need it. The vegetable or plant oils are not open to these objections. Moreover, they can be obtained very cheaply. Modern manufacturing enterprise has made it possible to obtain certain or them in a perfectly neutral state, and much cheaper than even the ordinary animal fats. There seems every reason then, that their use in the family should be encouraged as much as possible. They represent a most desirable addition to the domestic economy of the modern household, a cheap, clean, eminently nutritious and wholesome fat. Missed the Combination. Smythe—It won't work.

It's a letter from Unele Donald. Acheck?” Once in awhile, at Christmas al- ways, a letter inclosing a ebeck ar Fived from Donald Bertram, of New York. And his brother, who found his petty salary as station master of the | insignificant Nebraska town quite in- nmensurate with the needs ot | large and increasing family, hailed the advent of each inclosure with grati- tude and elation. “N-o, It's a letter from Donald— but there's no check.” He looked | across at his best loved and eldest | child with a smile brighter than even the welcome check had ever sum- moned, “Guess again: ” She looked at him from her opposite end of the table where she presided, her mother in true western fashion still being busied at the kitchen stove until the remainder of her family had eaten. Between Deronda and her father a noisy and voracious young brood intervened—eight or ten of ‘them. Deronda was kept busy attend- ing to their needs, She and her moth- er “did” for the rest. They ate as their portion whatever was left, And neither dreamed of complaining. Labor and service were their ethics of domesticity. But now Deronda paused in her task of pouring out the humerous cups of milk. “Father! It's good news! Keep ‘still, Flora! What is it?” ‘The tidings came out in a rush. “If you will go to New York for a visit the cheek will follow your letter of ac- ceptance, ‘Ihere!” Deronda was the healthiest girl in town, but for the moment she felt positively weak. She set down the pitcher. The children clamored un- heeded. “O!" she gasped, “I must tell moth- er” Then she was gone, and the over- worked man with the kindly face waited on the children himself. ‘Those that followed were exciting days. ‘The little, straggling, low rooms over the depot were the scene of many confabulations, much schem- ing, many glorious hopes, innumerable pleasant prophecies. "Ronda, as the children ealled her, was going away— away Into some vast and mystic fairy- land, which their vivid imaginations merged in the triple ecstasy of Yule- tide, Heaven and the Fourth of July. But one day order was born of con- fusion—sobriety of hysterical antici- pation. That was the day Deronda’s trunk stood labeled and corded on the platform—the day Deronda’s self, freshly and becomingly garbed, stood beside it. The day that Agent Bert- ram, and Mrs. Bertram, and all the numerous young Bertrams listened for the whistle of the train at the depot eight miles west; hung around her with growing excitement as the black column of smoke came down like the guide of those fleeing from Pharaoh, and clung around her in ar adoring farewell, which was detri. mental to her finery if flattering tc her sensibility. ‘Then the iron beast was upon them A few passengers alighted. Some ex prese packages were handed off. Thes ‘the agent mechanically received. Ther Deronda’s foot was on the first step o the Pullman. The engineer was look ing back to see that the agent's prett; daughter got on safely before he pulle the throttle. The brakeman stood ir resolute. The conductor loitered along deferring the signal to start, becaus the departure of Deronda for the eas as public property all along the line and the men who had known her sinc she wore short dresses and waved then a welcome when their train went b were interested in this young bird fight of hers from the overflowin, famiy nest. A tentative whistle quivered in th ir. _"Gwed-by, Deronda! Have a goo ‘me! Derond’s tather gave her a bar ‘jueese of thehan¢. There wasthe pee «of a kiss between these two who love ‘ach other so dearly. And wind the train wee speeding eas Ad, that was a marvelous world int - wRich Deronda went—a world whe: one wore dainty clothes from ¢aw Ul cawnt A world where the ebic fcnetion of whe women was to charm- shat of the men to serve with the mo Tisisite courtesy. And the meed of a Eiration abe received, when ber wes te Gremes had been discarded {¢ Siautiful gowns, was new tober. Vei reat it was, too. To be sure, she he ‘nown what it was to have young me besiege her for dances and hang upom her words. But in one case those who had given her tribute were clumsy and rough-handed country boys. The men to whom her later environment intro- ueed her possessed that indefinable air of breeding, of culture, of distine- tion which can be neither bought nor acquired. And she found the melody of trained voices at the opera sweeter than the triple note of the meadow lark—the scent of hothouse roses more delicious than the perfume of wild clover. And 50, too, she discovered entrance: ment in the homage of Eldred Wier. Not that in his case there was the pos- sibility of comparison. She had never deen touched by the attentions of her former acquaintances. There had not been one who attracted her. When she came east she was quite heart whole and fancy free. But missiles—the gentlest of missiles—well directed, did their deadly and delicious work. Per- haps these would not have been #0 promptly effective, even if hurled by Dan Cupid's unerring hand, had Deron+ @a realized that she was the bright par- ticular star of the season. Had anyone told her that her piquant, golden-brown beauty, her unconscious air of aloof ness, her repose, begotten of prairie life and placid daily éuty, had won for her a higher meed of approbation than was usually accorded to a newcomer in an exclusive coterfe, she weuld have opened her serene gray eyes wide in smiling incredulity. All the girls had admirers, Almost all the girls had lov: |ers, But—not one of them had such a lover as Eldred Wier. Onemonthpasse¢—two—three! And always there were the same tributes— always there was the same direct per |sonai deference. Theaters, dinners |Howers, bonbons, gloves, afternoon | visits, rides and drives! Always th |same' low, intimate tones, lingering |hand-pressure, the magnetic allure /| ment of impassioned eyes! ‘Then aad |denly it seemed—it was time tog nome, “Time fo go back tothe dvi | tle town, to the rooms over the depot to the horde of clamorousebildren. ,| “Eldred Wier was the last to leave th Pullman, His worshiping eyes devoure .| the beauty of the shy, expectant face .| His hand held hersin a close and tende | clasp. He bent his head. He»poke in s | tone that thrilled her. »| “You know—you must know that -|love you! You know, could I have m | a. molt never niyo »| ‘Then the train began to move. 1 ol seaa'gone. Five years later there was a tremens ous rush of travel westward, The Ne- Draska town of Wymore was one of those caught in the vortex of impetus ous pleasure seekers, Although thera were many health seekers, too, bound for the solacing serenity of Colorado or the golden glory of California. A splendid summer day was waning when fa snorting train disgorged its myriads on the depot platform, A young man, nervous and haggard of aspect, helped an elderly woman to alight. With scant show of patience he hurried her into the waiting-room. “I tell you I've got to leave you for awhile” he declared, testily. “I've a letter to present to one of the eastern officials of the hoad. His private caris Gue here now. I'll be back ax soon as I can.” Heedless of her whimpered ob- jections he hurried off. A tall, beau- fiful young woman, most charmingly gowned, attracted the observation of the throng as she came down the wait ing-room. She noticed the woman sit- ting alone, and evidently in distress. “Can I be of service?” she inquired, pausing. . ‘The traveler, in apparel too elabo- rate and youthful for her years, looked up into the gentle face of the speaker. Her wrinkled cheeks were ebalky under their rouge, and her false curls and bonnet were awry. “No,” she shrilled, heedless of be ar- ers. “No one can helpme, Ibroug? tit on myself. Me, worth half a million, to go and marry that young whipfrer- snapper, that leaves me here like o bale of goods! Not even adrink of water—" ‘The young woman brought her a glass of water, set straight the disor- Gered hair and bonnet, and fanned the ‘agitated old face, talking ples santly the while, “Tam here,” she said, “to meet my husband, He is one of the directors of the road. There—his special bus just come in! He is coming thisway." She rose eagerly. “There is some one with him,” She took a step forward. “Wel- come, Will!” as the stately man who had hastened to her side bent and kissed her. “If it wasn't for this young lady, Eléred—" ‘The resentful wail was cut short by a sharp exclamation, White ‘as death Eldred Wier stored at Deronda Leighton. She looked from blm to the shriveled old creature on the rent. So this was why he had never written— hadnevercome! This was why she bad fancied her heart was brokes, until “a better man crew nigh!” “Mr. Wier!" The glimmering smile in her radiant eyes maddened him. “1 | have been making the acquaintance of your wife.” “Mr. Wier,” she explained Yo her handsome husband, “is an old acquaintance of mine. Bup it is meet Jand part. Good-by.” She smept the | travelers with a graceful wow. “We | really must go now, Will, dear, the lon nin we te waiting.”--Chiesgo Tribune. Harnessing the Wolf. How many men and women owe fame, fortune and success to the wolf which they were obliged to keep away from the coor and from the little ones! The best possible use to make of this ravens ‘ous beast is to harness him and compel him to work. Make bim help pul the loud. How many people, from sudden lous of wealth, have been forced to de- velop latent energies and potent forces which they never creamed they pos semed! How many have been forced into clore and painful economies by having incomes suddenly cut off. and have ceveloped faculties and inventive qualities in consequence! It iséiffcult, if it Ia even possible, for any human be- ing to develop his highest faculties, to raise himself to his highest power, un- til he is thrown absolutely upon bis ‘own resources.

One Objection to the Cee of Wircleus ‘Telegraphy Is Being Stee , ‘The difficulty of sending messages by wireless telegraphy which shall not be legible by the whole world seems to have been solved by a most ingenious device presented by M. Tommasi to Academie des Sciences at their recent meeting, says the Pall Mall Gazette. He uses at the sending station not one but two transmitters One ot these transmite the reat dis patch by the usual code, while the other sends only a series of meaning- less dots and dashes produced by a mechanieal process. The , range of this last transmitter is kept always rather less than other, so that at the fecelving station only the code slg tals will be Feccived, "If, however, an attempt be made to intercept the sig- hale by meana of a receiver. Inter posed between the sending and re Celving stations both the real message GOA the nicanlaglecy alickx’ wll ap pear together, with the result that the message will be utterly unintelli- gible, This must be almost as irri- tating to the woulkbe “tapper” as Lord Wolseley’s plan of splicing « piece of blind wire (that is, insulat- ing material with no metailie core) at intervals between the posts of an enemy's telegraph. He says thin is much more effective than the or- dinary plan of cutting the wire mere- ly, because in that case, when he re- covers the line, the enemy knows where the break ix and has only to repair it, By his plan the owner of the line has to test from post to post to discover and eliminate the obstruc: tion.

L EDGAR Jong. t Romance of Two Widower POOF FO OOo ooo oH EMUEL BICKETTS was a widower So also was Emanuel Croster. It Was but natural that there should exist between the two a fellow feeling, ‘The wife of Lemuel had arisen one day in w At of I temper—Justified, per- haps, so far ax ill temper In ever justi: fled— und repaired to a lawyer's office, where she stated her complaint. Lem wel had not treater her with due con- Aideration, He has expected too much of her, He wax old enough to be her father, No woman, she said, could pre- pare from nothing three meals a day nd still retain her self-respect. The lawyer adnsitted the truth of the sta‘e- ment. Me inquired whether or not Lemuel had ever treated her with physical cruelty. Yea; he had made ber split the wood. Very good. At the next term of the district court she waa de- clared free of the bonds which had bound her to Lemuel. But the case of the wife of Emanuel was & adder one, She was of » long: suffering sort, and the thought of di- voree had never entered into her blunt- ed mind, She did the best ahe could for Emanuel. When nothing to eat was forthooming she boiled dandelion greens and endured the harah criticisms of Emanuel in allence. In the end she stretched herself upon the bedding which had constituted her dowry and peacefully repaired to another world i} was @ severe shock to Kmanuel, When the funeral had been over for several hours, and the two children Ima been fed upon milk furnished by a kind neighbor, Emanuel strolled over to con: dole with Lemuel and to be condoled with, He found Lemuel aitting discon: solately upon the front step of hin real: dence. The two older children were be wide him, Mis wife had taken the baby. “Good evenin’,” said Emanuel in tone of sorrow, “Same to you," said Lemuel, He arose to the full limit of his awkward, un: gainly six feet four Inches and extend: ‘ed his hand—he had but one, the other having been removed with the arm at 4 Fourth of July demonstration. “Glad to see you. How're you feelin’? “Bad-—bad,” said Lemuel, hollowly. “How're you? "Hout the same," replied Lemuel. “The world looks mighty glum to 4 feller that hain't got a woman,” “It does that,” said Emanuel. “What're you goin’ to do?” “Dunno, What're you?” “Dunno.” Nothing more was said for » time, ‘Then Lemuel cast off the abstraction which was upon him and spoke. “L reckon somethin’s got to be dt for the kids; they've got to have somebody to look after 'em,” “You're right," agreed manuel; “the-the kide must be took care of.” “And nothin’ but a woman ean doit,” said Lemuel. “Nothin’ but @ woman,” repeated Emanuel, “Then—" “Yeah “The thing to do's to get a woman.” “I rekon.” “Women is plenty enough in the world, We'd have no trouble, you and me, gettin’ one If we was prettier I'm lopsided, and you've got « tmpedi ment in your gait.” This was very near the truth, Emanuel by some prank of nature had been gifted with knee action at the ips aad with hip action at the knees producing am effect at which some people laughed. It was a tender point with Emanuel, and he flared wp a bit at Lemuel’s words, “You're # li" he began, but Lemue held up his great, overdeveloped hand. “Don't get excited, Man,” he said Doe's forget, that she's ‘only, bees dead 0 ‘while. You owe some Fespect to her memory—though | a'pone,” he added, reflectively, “she's "bout os dead as she ever will be.” “I s'pose,” sighed Emanuel, Then Lemuel sent the children inte the shanty and approached Emanuel Games shout him contiounly a =. “Man,” he sald, in a Sie got the—the dangdest best you ever seen.” “What is 18?" asked Emanuel, sue piciously.

Well you bet your fife I'm goin’ to write to one of ‘em. I've got her picked out.” “How're you goin’ to do it? Goin to learn how to write?” Lemuel smiled shrewdly. “No, 1 ain't goin’ to learn how to write, but T've got it figured out clear enough, You know young Sprigg»—him that J pulled out o' the erick last spring, just when he was goin’ down the last time?” “Yea.” “He's the s‘lution of ft, He ean write like a hovse afire, that boy, and can spell like a almanae. I'm goin to have him do the writing for pay in part o’ what he’s owin’ me, He can do St for you, too, if you want, Man. Hey? What do you way, old feller?” Lemuel slapped the mourning Emanuel on the back and chuckled. Something suspiciously sxe # ehuckle came from Emanuel in return. “II s'pose somethin’ got to be did for the kids,” he anid, “and a woman's the only thing that can do it proper.” “You're right,” said Lemuel. “Now, look here, Man.” He spread the paper upon the ground and indicated a dirty spot in one column with @ dirty fore- finger. “Here's the one I've chose. ‘A young Indy called pretty by her friends, and possessed of $180, would like to correspond with some honent man—no dude, Object, matrimony, Address Bi772, Cupid't Dart.’ You see, that hits me to a dot, Man. I ain't no dude.” “No, you ain't, that’s @ fact,” said Emanuel, promptly. “It conte only ten cents to get started, ‘The letter goes to the pa- per and they send it on to the young lady, and ahe answers back, and there you be, alicker'n grease.” “Looks all right,” said Emanuel, "Pin all right," said Lemuel. “Now, Man, you take thish ere paper home with you and pick out one for your- fell, Tain't no hog. I feel real sorry for you, Man, She—she was a fine woman.” Emanuel gulped. Me felt that it was incumbent upon him to say some- thing—something to show his friend that his kindness was not unappre- slated. “$—so was yours, Lem," he said, softly. “Don't you b'live it," said Lemuel with sudden gruffness. “Mine's a vile snake, Man, But never mind; I know how you meant it, Good night” “Good night,” said Emanuel, and went teetering home. He sat late that night spelling out laboriously the advertisements in Cus gids Dart, but found nous that satis. led him--none excepting the one chosen by Lemuel. None of the oth- erm appealed to him, Most of them were Impossible, ‘They laid down con- ditions to which he was quite unable to conform, They insisted unrea- wonably that the gentleman have wealth or good looks or brilliancy of mind, The few exceptions insisted that the gentleman be willing to work hard In return for the affection of an honest, earnest heart, ‘Thin wax not Impossible, but ft was unpleasant, Emanuel abuddered at the suggestion, ‘Time after time his finger returned to the advertisement of the “lady who wan called pretty by her friends and who was possessed of $100." She yearned for an honest man—-no dude, and Emanuel’s heart was drawn to her. It pained him to think that Lemuel had chosen her frat. Lemuel had treated him with great consider- ation, It was not entirely right for him to covet Lemuel's choice, but he could not help it.” Finally he went to sleep. In the morning he returned the pa- per to Lemuel, but hin eyes fell be- fore those of his friend and he talked mostly In mononytiables, “Find one? inquired Lemuel, with a wink, “No.” “Ain't you goin’ to get one?” “Can't.” “Why? “Ain't none to sult.” “Sho, now! Well, I'l tell you: I couldn't find none either, but the one I picked out. Still, T done the best I could for you, Man,” “Uh—huh.” “And I've been figgerin’ some. 1 reckon I'll tell her she's got to take me quick if she wants me, ‘cause there’s a great demand for me, 1 ain't goin’ to sign my ame to the letter, I don't want to get into no breach 0° promise sult, Courae, the lady's probably all right, but there's nothing like bein’ on the wate side.” “Uh-huh.” “So I'm just goin’ to have young Spriggs write me down asa gentle: man who's honest as daylight and who ain't no dude, I'm goin’ to have him tell her "bout my bein’ a prop'ty ‘owner and all that and explain that I don't give no name ‘cause I want to be dead sure she's square, T reckon she'll be reasonable if she means buainess.”” “Yeah.” Emanuel shifted uneasily ‘frete eae $008 to the ether. “Geen whatever that is—on good business men. Congrat‘late me, old feller!” “Wait till you get her,” said Eman- wel. dryly. When Lemuel had gone he drew the letter from his pocket and spelled {t over carefully. A friend had read it to him that afternoon, and he was able to follow it with something ap- pronching accuracy. He had done lit- tle else but study it since its re- ceipt. It was from a young le@y at Tunkerton. It told him that she be- lieved he wan precisely the sort of @ man she wanted. It told him to come to Tunkerton on the first day of the next month over the St. Paul road, so that she would know he was com- ing when she heard the train whistle, and gave him carefal directions for finding the house where she was stay- ing. “I a'pose,” thought Emanuel, “that she wants to compare us and take her pick. It ‘pears we've both struck her pretty fayor’ble, Well, I reckon" —arising to look at himself in a cracked mirror—"that I can hold my own, and more, too, with Lem.” On the last day of the month Lem- uel came over to say good-by, He found Emanuel washing his neck. “Goin, are you?" said Emanuel. “Well, good luck to you.” “Thanks,” said Emanuel. “I wish you was goin’ to get a wife—some sweet creature to love, cherish and protect, I winh—" “0, don't mind me,” said Emanuel, scrubbing hard, his face well down toward the baxin, “I'll make out to get along. Good-by to you.” “Good-by," said Lemuel, In the village of Tunkerton there in a long street running from one end of the village to the other. At one extreme of thin street in the station of the Milwaukee railway; at the oth- er extreme {x the station of the St. Paul. At a point nearly midway be- tween the stations is @ small brown house. Lemuel knew the place well. As a boy and ax @ young man he had vis- ited it often, and he wax much im- Pressed by the coincidence that was bringing him to visit it again, He stopped behind a tree at the corner to wipe his face upon a bandanna handkerchief and to draw a long breath before taking the final piunge. He wondered if she was peeping coy- ly from the window, and peered fur- tively mrqund the tree, ‘There was no sign of life about the small brown house, Hut beyond the house, down the street where the heat was rising and falling in waves, he saw that which caused him to catch his breath sharply, He dashed his hands across his eyes, and looked again. It was no delusion, Emanuel Croster, gently springing up and down, wax coming from the opposite direction, There was a smile upon hin face, and a white ntand-up collar upon hin neck. Hin eyes were upon the small brown house, There was no doubt as to his purpone, It came to Lemuel like flash that Emanuel had been false to him. Emanuel had repaid his kindness by vile treachery. Lemuel’s blood boiled within him, He went forward quick- ly, hin face darkened by a frown, his huge fist doubled, At the gate they met. Lemuel spoke not a word. Emanuel opened his lips as if to speak, but Lemuel's fist chuggey the words down his throat, The blow wax sufficient, had the distance been better judged, to have sent Emanuel into a long sleep. Ax it was, it mere- ly jarred him, He grunted, and rained one of his feet, implanting a kick upon Lemuel's Sunday trousers. Then they clinched, rolling in # cloud of dust. ‘The door of the mall brown house opened suddenly, and a woman ran to the gate. “Gentlemen!” whe called to the twisting widowers. “Gentlemen!” ‘The dust settled gradually. There wan a sound of puffing and blowing. Then two perspiring, dust-ameared, bloody faces became visible, each smail- ing grotesquely. Lemuel retained his hold upon the collar of Emanuel, Emanuel’s hand waa clutching Lem- uel's hatz, “Gentlemen, I=" ‘The woman wax unable to control herself longer, She broke into a laugh that sounded in the dust-filled ears of the two widowers like the erack- ing of © number of dooms, They nat as if paralyzed, their mouths open, At length the woman spoke, “Gentlemen—O, you fools! Didn't you think T knew “twas you, Lem Ricketts, and you, Man Croster? Bill Spriggs told me all about it, Him and me's goin’ to be married next week. O-—you—foola!” She Inughed again, and Lemuel arose dazedly to his feet, Emanuel arose also, ‘They gazed speechlessly at Lemuel’s divorved wife for one long minute, Then they gazed at each other, Involuntarily their hands met. “Come om, Man,” aid Lemuel, “You bet!” said Emanvet And they trudged briskly away through the dust, the sound of laugh ter following them. In a secluded place near the railroad they stopped, and threw themselves upon the xround. Lemuel broke the silence.

He was once stationed ir Missls- sippi, and while at Oxford was quite popular, says a Chicago paper. Going to Jackson while the yellow fever was raging there, he was stricken with the plague. He and his friends thought the disease would have a fatal termi- nation. An Episcopal minister, Rev. Mr. Carnahan, was sent for to make the dying soldier's peace with the world.” ‘The minister read several Seriptural Passages and then knelt beside the sick officer's cot in prayer. At that juncture several soldiers outside the tent engaged in a quarrel and became s0 boisterous that the minister's in- vocation was interrupted. ‘The supposediy dying soldier raised himself on one elbow and, ripping out an emphatic oath, demanded of one of the subaiterns in waiting that he maintain quiet while the parson was praying. Rev. Mr. Carnahan had oeen Searcely as much astonished by the noise outside ax he was by the ro- bustness ot Chaffee’s oath, The min- Ister finished his prayer and, receiv- ing the thanks of Chaffee, left him, apparently dying, But the galiant officer did not die. He regained his health and made a host of friends among the best citi- zens of Mississippi by the justice and fairness of his course. MANY CAVES CONTAIN ICE.

Comparatively few freezing caves are known as yet west of the Misnis- sippi, but there is no doubt that many will be discovered in time, as freesing caverns are not an uncom- mon phenomenon, says an exchange. Some of these freezing caverns— incorrectly termed ice caves—are very large. In the one at Dobsina, Hun- rary, there ie @ mass of ice about 110 yards long, 65 yards wide and at least 15 yards deep. ‘The formation and reteation of subterranean ice always scems mys- terious at first, but it in in reality a simple matter | In freezing caves the entrance is always above the body of the hollow and the cold air of winter sinks down Into the hollow. and on account of ite weight is sot easily displaced by the lighter warm air of spring or summer.

The girl's ‘education is to be Legun at once under the care of the bishop of Monterey. Dillion was born and reared in Ire- land, and when he came to America he went to Texas and worked on a ranch in that state as laborer and cowboy. By careful management he became rich.
