A POLITICAL POTPOURRI. The Afro-American McKinley club's meeting on last Tuesday evening was not as largely attended as the former meetings. The boys have been gormandized on campaign taffy and were evidently laying off until they had digested it. Where were the Afro-American voters during the parade before the Litchfield meeting? C. H. Spencer in an open letter to the colored voters, assures them that in case he is elected register of deeds, he will appoint a colored lady a deputy in his office. Mr. Merrill, it is now up to you. John M. Allison is well nigh ubiquitous these days and every time he bobs up he lands a body blow for Sheriff Megaarden. They do say that Bob Lee is on the still hunt for votes for C. N. Dickey and is not letting any grass grow under his feet. The change of Webster Davis in the matter of party affiliation, has not lessened his matchless eloquence on the rostrum. In 16 days the battle of words will give way to the battle of ballots, and then the "few" can take a seat and hear the people speak in thunder tones. Keep watch and don't let anyone who is in the political shuffle race get lost in this political shuffle. On Sunday afternoon, Oct. 14th, the St. James A. M. E. church, Fourth street and Sixth avenue south, was filled to overflowing by the representative colored ladies and gentlemen of Minneapolis on the occasion of ladies' day of the Men's Sunday Club. James L. Curtis, esq. the president of the club, made a speech, setting forth the objects and purposes of the club, and in well chosen words presented Dean J. B. Williams, the owner of the chair, the club on the subject, "What is Your Aim in Life?" The audience showed their appreciation of the scholarly address by hearty applause, and on motion of Mr. W. H. Williams, of New Orleans, tendered the speaker a rising vote of thanks. Mrs. Bertha Wilson and Mr. Edward Truesdale rendered solos in a pleasing manner, and Mrs. Frances D. De Leo captivated the audience with a vocal selection entitled "Guide of Worship With Thy Heavenly Light." With F. H. Williams, of the Ork next Sunday, Oct. 21, at 4 o'clock, Mr. W. H. Williams, of New Orleans, will address the club of the Dischristianement of the Negro in the South," after which the subject will be discussed from the floor by the members of the club. She'd Do It.

CHINA MAKES SUGGESTION Ching and Li Indicate a Basis for the Conduct of Peace Negotiations. PROPOSITION FORWARDED BY CONGER. Minister Wu Han Long Conference with Secretary Hay - Believed United States Will Agree to French Proposal for Opening Peace Negotiations at Once. Washington, Oct. 19.—For the first time in three days Minister Conger was heard from at the state department Thursday. He communicated by cable the substance of certain propositions advanced by Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang as a basis for the conduct of negotiations for a settlement of the Chinese trouble. The Chinese government already had prepared the way for these by a preliminary action looking toward the punishment of Chinese officials guilty of complicity in the Boxer uprising and, while the text of Mr. Conger's communication is not made public, it is believed that the last Chinese advance is addressed to some of the propositions contained in the French note, being in the nature of counter-proposals and proceedings upon the theory that what has been done in the matter of punishments is sufficient to meet the demands from the powers in that respect. Minister Wu called at the state department Thursday by appointment and had a long conference with Sece NEW INSIGNIA OF LEGION OBVERSE. retary Hay. The secretary previously had spent an hour with the president at the white house, presumably in the consideration of Mr. Conger's communication, and it is believed that Minister Wu was called to the department to throw light upon some of the detailed propositions. Favorably Received. There is reason to believe that the government will take favorable action of the latest proposition of the French government presented Wednesday through the French charge d'affaires, M. Thiebaut. This contemplates the opening of peace negotiations on those points which the powers are agreed upon, leaving to the ministers at Peking the details of working out a further agreement on those points which the powers made reservations upon. The basis of the negotiations would be the French note delivered on October 4, together with the replies of the other powers. This would make practically two negotiations going on at the same time, one concerning the points of agreement, which would have to be adjusted with China, and the other by the ministers at Peking with a view to securing an agreement previous to submitting it to China. There is felt to be no inconsistency in having this double work proceed concurrently, and it has the advantage of getting the peace negotiations actually under way. A Serious Obstacle. In case of a favorable reply to France, it is probable that steps would have to be taken to designate plenipotentiaries for the powers, for up to this time Mr. Conger is acting only as minister and Mr. Rockhill as commissioner to make inquiries, and there is no authorization to either of them to conduct peace negotiations. Whether special plenipotentiaries would be named, or additional powers would be given to Mr. Conger or Mr. Rockhill, is still undecided. About the most serious obstacle which stands in the way of immediate peace negotiations is the absence of the imperial family from Peking, and the doubt this creates as to full approval being given to the work of the Chinese plenipotentiaries. While the latter claim to have full credentials, yet the powers have looked upon the presence of the emperor at Peking as an almost indispensable requisite toward giving the negotiations complete efficacy. In this connection, the presence of the emperor must have a significance considerably beyond anything thus far brought out, in the way of firmly establishing his imperial authority, and freeing it from the intrigues and antiforeign influences which have for the last two years practically nullified his rule. Secretary Hay said Thursday that the reply to the message of the emperor of China thanking the president for the attitude of the United States and expressing hope of a speedy settlement had been dispatched. It was purely formal in character; it thanked the emperor for his expressions and joined in the hope of a speedy and satisfactory peace. Favorable Replies Received Favorable Replies Received. Paris, Oct. 19—Russia, Austria, Germany and Great Britain having already replied affirmatively to M. Debcasse's note, he is notifying the powers of the acceptance of the first note and is asking each of them to instruct their ministers at Peking to begin peace negotiations. Favorable replies are expected from all. M. Pichon, the French minister at Peking, therefore, has been instructed to place himself in touch with the ambassadors and Chinese emissaries for the purpose of opening negotiations at the earliest moment. Li and Ching Fix Terms. London, Oct. 19. —A representative of the press learns that Prince Ching and Li Hong Chang have finally succeeded in drawing up a joint proposal for a settlement. This has just been received by the powers. Beyond the fact that it is likely to require considerable alteration before proving acceptable nothing is ascertainable here regarding the actual terms. The Chinese minister here, Sir Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh, professes ignorance of such proposal, but it can be be defini- tely said that it is now engaging the attention of the British foreign office. **Boxers' Hands on the Wall.** Pekin, Oct. 17, —Via Tientsin and Shanghai, Oct. 19. —The Peking column of the Pao-tiung-fu expedition arrived at a point six miles south of Chi-Chow yesterday, without encountering opposition.

Roosevelt Delivers Speech Amid Bustle of Railroad Yards at Akron, O. GOES FROM OHIO INTO WEST VIRGINIA. Hanna Does More Hard Work in South Dakota-Mr. Bryan Makea Many Stops in New York State and Is Greeted by Large and Enthusiastic Crowds. Akron, O., Oct. 19.—Gov. Roosevelt made a speech here Thursday morning, and he had difficulty in doing it. He had been interrupted in other places with yellers for Bryan and impertinent remarks, had spoken in opposition to the noise of brass bands and the trump of thousands of feet, but not before had he gone into a contest with swishing, rumbling, whistling locomotives, of which he had half a dozen to contend with here. The train, having left Cleveland at three a. m., reached this place soon after four, and was held on a sliding. Before six o'clock a crowd began to gather and at seven a band came alongside the governor's car, giving a serenade. When the governor appeared upon the platform of his car he was given a rousing chorus of cheers and was introduced while so many trains were passing that for five minutes he could not begin his speech. He appealed to the voters of Akron on grounds of prosperity and patriotism. At one time the noise made by the engines was so great that the governor said: "This speech will read like a serial story." At Canton. Canton, O., Oct. 19.-Gov. Roosevelt's train reached this place, the home of the president, at eight a.m. The governor was welcomed by the organized republicans of this place in a body, and escorted to the Tabernacle, the place of speaking. Leaves Ohio Soil. Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 19—Gov. Roosevelt closed his campaign in Ohio at the town of Navarre and entered at noon upon his West Virginia itinerary, making his first speech here to a large crowd which had gathered at the fair grounds or had followed him there in a notable parade. On the platform were five vice presidents and 100 men who voted for Fremont in 1856. In the parade was a regiment of rough riders. The speeck left Wheeling at 8:30 p.m. and, after making six stops, reached Parkersburg, where a night meeting was held in the wigwams. Friday night the governor will speak in Hinton and Saturday he will reach Baltimore. A Hard Day's Work. Madison, S. D., Oct. 19—Senator Hanna's itinerary for his second day's speech making in South Dakota was much the hardest day for the trip, including stops at half a dozen towns in the eastern and southern tiers of the counties and winding up at night with a meeting at Sioux Falls. The first stop Thursday was at Flandreau, the special train reaching there about 8:40 a. m. Senator Frye also spoke a few words, as did Mr. Dollierv. At Egan, the next station, Mr. Hannah spoke for about five minutes MR. BRYAN KEPT BUSY. Ills Special Train Makes Frequent steps to New York State. Albany, N. Y., Oct 19. - W. J. Bryan and party left here for Schnectady and the west on an early morning train. Col. Bryan was accompanied by Charles M. Buiger, J. D. Delaney and Mayor Jones of Toledo. Large crowds collected about the Hotel Ten Eyck and at the Union station to see the distinguished party off. As the train pulled out of the depot yard Mr. Bryan stood on the rear platform of his special car and raised his hat in acknowledgment of the cheers that were given in his honor. He expressed himself as being more than pleased with the rounding reception accorded him at the capital city of the Empire state. The Stop at Scheneectady. Amsterdam, N. Y., Oct. 19.—Mr. Bryan's train was 15 minutes late in reaching Schenectady, where the first stop of the day was made. He spoke there for 20 minutes, and his audience was large enough to fill the entire vacant space back of the railroad station. The Edison general electric works are located at Schenectady, and as the Bryan train drew up to the station Mr. Bryan was greeted by the waving of hats and handkerchiefs from the windows of that institution. Another large audience greeted Mr. Bryan upon his arrival at Amsterdam. He spoke from the rear of his train, and the people covered all the adjacent railroad tracks and freight cars. His speech was an appeal to republicans to investigate the democratic side of the political situation. Talks to Farmers. Gloversville, N. Y., Oct. 19.—Mr. Bryan was received with cheers as his train pulled in to Fonda, N. Y. He addressed his speech especially to farmers, saying that the main reason urged upon the farmers by the republican orators as to why they should vote the republican ticket was that they had good rains and must not take the risk of a drought by voting another ticket. Mr. Bryan made 20-minute stops both at Johnstown and Gloversville. Little Falls, N. Y., Oct. 19.—The Bryan train stopped only five minutes at Fort Plain, but Mr. Bryan was warmly greeted there by a crowd which was large for the size of the town. At most of his stopping places Thursday Mr. Bryan was confronted by large and conspicuously posted bills warning the people against him. These bills announced in large red letters: "Bryan PRICE FIVE CENTS an is here," and then gave extracts from his speeches made at Knoxville, Tenn., in 1896, and at Zanesville, O., last September, and then adding: "This means national dishonor and the dustrial columns we vote for Iran in a vote for low wages or no wages. Bread riots and soup houses. Hard times." Stevenson at Watertown. Watetown, N. Y., Oct. 19.—Adalai E. Stevenson, democratic nominee for vice president, who was the principal speaker of the big mass meeting here Wednesday evening, arose at cight o'clock Thursday.

LANE ON STAND. Widow of the Murdered Messenger Testifies in Court Against Ferrel. Marysville, O, Oct. 19. - For the first time since the trial began Rosslyn Ferrel showed Thursday the effect of the strain that naturally is on his mind. When court opened Thursday morning his demeanor was not perceptibly changed from the self-confident air that has characterized his actions in the courtroom, but there was a decidedly noticeable paleness of face not heretofore seen and there were deep rings below the eyes indicating that his rest Wednesday night had not been good. The first witness was Charles Ausburg, the employee of the Adams Express at the Union station. His testimony related entirely to the discovery of the body of Lane. Prosecutor Robinson then called Mrs. Louisa Lane, widow of the murdered messenger. She was dressed in deep mourning. Behind her, her father-in-law carried her 18-months-old child. Ferrel glanced up as she passed, but could not meet her eyes. Mrs. Lane testified as to her marriage and described the murdered messenger's clothing. Illinois Club Women Rockford, IL., Oct. 19.—The Illinois Federation of Women's Club decided on Decatur for the meeting next year.

La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 19.—The police received word Thursday morning that a wholesale delivery had occurred Wednesday night at the Redwing (Minn.) reformatory, seven boys making their escape. They are believed to be headed towards La Crosse and the officers will keep a lookout for them. The ringleander of them was a colored boy, 17 years old, who planned and executed the escape.

THE STORY TELLER THE ORCHARD. The apple grove is bending low To mark its completeness. With happy branches whereon grow the leaves, the flowers, the flowers, a rustle spreads from tree to tree. Each courtesies and minces, and whisper soft: "We bear, you see a banquet fit for princes! "The wind and rain of nights and days Our alchemy has captured; The noontide's golden, drenched rays; The pumice spills. The clover fragrance in the air; The hours so drowsy, sunny; And all that makes an orchard fair We've mingled with our honey. The cricket hit his piping song, The bobolink his chorus, The dandelion's along And dropped his pollen o'er us. The clouds, amid the tender blue, The lights lightly to caress us. The pollen, the musky dawn streams through Creeps, and blesses us. And heat the robins singing. —Edward J. Benson in Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post Jobson Cleans House "THIS house," remarked Mr. Jobson one evening recently, running his right index finger over the top of the frame of one of the parlor pictures and then flicking a lot of imaginary dust from the finger, "looks like a pig pen. Do you ever do any dusting in this plant? The dust's so thick all over the establishment that my lungs are all caked up. And the whole outfit's got a general run-down, untidy, neglected look. Of course, I know that your efforts to keep up with current fiction make big inroads upon your spare time. Nevertheless, I should think you'd be able to snatch a moment here and there for the purpose of endowing to make your home look less like a soubrette's rag-time flat. How about it? "The house was cleaned from top to bottom this very morning," said Mrs. Jobson, "and if you can find a speck of dust anything—" "Speck of dust anywhere, hey?" broke in Mr. Jobson, sarcastically. "I'll wager you the finest box of jujube paste or gum drops that can be bought for money, Mrs. Jobson, that I can collect two hogsheads full of dirt in this house inside of 20 minutes. The dirt's everywhere." Mrs. Jobson didn't vouchsafe any reply to this extraordinary statement. "It's nearly time for the fall house cleaning," she said, however, "and I intended to begin day after to-morrow. And that reminds me of something. You were so annoyed over the house cleaning last fall that you told me to give you at least two days' notice before beginning to clean house this autumn, so that you could have time to look over the papers, find out where the fish were biting the best and go away for a week's vacation. If you—" Mr. Jobson walked over to where Mrs. Jobson sat and gazed at her curiously, as if she were some new and unusual ornithological specimen. "I said that, old I?" he inquired, skeptically. "It's a wonder you don't go in for the manufacture of campaign literature." "But you did say that," insisted Mrs. Jobson, "and you added that you wouldn't remain around the house during another fall house cleaning for a million dollars spot cash, You—" "All right," cut in Mr. Jobson. "I don't acknowledge that I ever employed such an idiotic phrase. But we'll let it go. This, you will understand, is another year, And, as it is another year, other conditions prevail. This year I'm going to do the whole job of house cleaning myself." Mrs. Jobson's features contracted into an expression of alarm. "Surely," she began, "you would not think of doing anything so foolish, and getting everything upside down and in a tangle, and overexerting yourself, and—" "That's all right about my getting things in a tangle and overexercising myself, Mrs. Jobson," said Mr. Jobson, loftily. "I don't intend to permit you to pick a quarrel with me over this matter. As I just announced, I am going to undertake the fall house cleaning job myself this year, and I'm going to start in at it the first thing after breakfast to tomorrow morning. "This house hasn't had a thorough securing since we've been living in it. The so-called housecleanings have been the merest bluffs. Moreover, the operation usually keeps the house in a miserable, uncomfortable turmoll for a period ranging from a week to ten days, during which time you rush wildly about from room to room, with a towel bound around your head, looking like a person suffering from a gunshot wound, and broom in each hand, and the muck and dust flying from one piece of furniture to the other, and the meals always a couple of hours late, and not fit to eat when they're at length ready. Now, I'm going about this housecleaning job in a systematic, business-like manner. I'm going to take the two days' leave coming to me, beginning to-morrow morning, and if, at the end of the second day, this whole outfit, from cellar to garret, isn't looking like a new dollar fresh from the mint, then I'm an anarchist, that's all. What's more, you won't know that anything unusual's going on while I'm developing this transformation scene. There will be no wild excitement and rushing about, and neighbors dropping in here won't be able to see a single indication that the fall housecleaning is under way. All you'll have to do will be to sit down with your hands in your lap and watch me. You'll unquestionably derive a great deal of benefit thereby, and next year, having profited by a study of my systematic methods, it may be that you'll be able to give a fair imitation of my manner of housecleaning. Just have an early breakfast to-morrow morning. I want to begin about eight o'clock." At. Jobson was up and togged out in an old bicycle suit before sunrise the next morning. At 6:00 he was growling about the lateness of breakfast (which is ordinarily served at 8:15 in the Johnson household) and, as the colored servant was late, Mrs. Jobson hastily prepared the meal for him. Mr. Johnson bolted the breakfast and then he went into the parlor, rolled up his sleeves and proceeded to prove that he wasn't bound by any of the well-established rules of housekeeping by beginning his job there, instead of first attending to the upper part of the house. He piled all of the furniture in the room, including the piano and all of the pictures from the walls, in a towering, pyramidal heap in the middle of the room. This done, he filled a bucket full of boiling water, dumped a whole can of lye into that, toore one of his good shirts into cleaning rags, and dipped the same into the bucket with the idea of cleaning the vanished window frames. He pulled his hand out very quickly, snapped his fingers, looked at Mrs. Johnson out of the corner of his eye to see if he could detect a smile on her placid countenance, and then held his lye-boiled hand under the cold water spigot for ten minutes or so. Then the piece he chopped a bunk of lce off the piece in the refrigerator, dropped the same into the bucket, waited for the bucket's contents to cool some, and windowed in to wash the varnished window frames. The strength of the lye solution took the varnish off the frames in long streaks, and when Mr. Jobson noticed this he diluted the lye water and went ahead. Then he noticed several spots on the wall paper. With a wise look in his eye, he went to the bread box, broke a fresh loaf of bread in two, got a fateful of the crumbs in each hand, and rubbed the spongy crumbs over the spots on the wall paper. This scheme—of which he had read somewhere—didn't seem to work, f.r the spots didn't disappear, in spite of the exertion Mr. Jobson put into the task. So he moistened the bread crumbs, making them into a sticky paste, and rubbed on the wall paper spots some more. After he had rubbed about two square feet STARTED IN ON THE WINDOW FRAME. of the paper into a brownish pulp, exposing the plaster, he gave that end of his task up, casting a slantive glaze at Mrs. Johnson to see if she was smiling. But she didn't appear to notice. When Mr. Jobson sausked water on all of the picture glasses and rubbed them squeakily with bits of newspaper, leaving them all in a condition of perfectly obvious streakiness. Then he pounded the upholstered seats of all the parlor chairs with the handle of a broom, so that he could barely be seen by Mrs. Jobson amid the clouds of dust that ate produced. These and a plenty of other weird things he did, and after about two hours' hard work he rehung the pictures with their smeared glasses, pushed the piano back into its corner, arranged the chairs where they belonged, slapped a big feather duster over every article of furniture in the room, placed the brie-brac on the mantel, and regarded Mrs. Jobson with a triumphant smile. "Now the parlor's all done," said he, "What do you think of my system?" "Well," replied Mrs. Jobson, "you haven't put the parlor carpet down yet, you know. It came back from the cleane's yesterday, and—" Mr. Jobson glared at her. Then he went upstairs, took a bath, and togged out in his best. He had a grip in his hand when he came down. "I'm going down the river for a couple of days, madam," said he, sepulcbrally, "and the next time you cajole me into neglecting my business to do your work I'll know how to act, that's all." - Washington Star. Early Risers Among Birds. An ornithologist who has investigated the question as to what hour in the summer the commonest songbirds wake up and sing states that the greenfinch is the earliest riser, as it pipes as early as half-past one o'clock in the morning; the black-cap begins at half-past two. It is nearly four o'clock and the sun is well above the horizon before the first real songster appears in the person of the blackbird. He is heard half an hour before the thrush, and the chirp of the robia begins about the same length of time before that of the wren. The house sparrow and the tomtit occupy the last place on the list. The investigation has altogether ruined the lark's reputation for early rising.

INSTINCT OF THE "HOMER." Mystery of the Carrier Pigeon's Faculty of "Location" Without Sight or Compass. "The mysterious faculty that enables cats and pigeons to find their way back from remote points is one of the greatest puzzles in nature," salo a New Orleans educator who has made a specialty of zoology for many years. "We speak of it as 'sense of direction,' 'homing instinct' and 'brain compass,' he continued; "but as far as explaining it is concerned, nobody has ever been able to offer a theory that was even plausible. It used to be thought that the memory of landmarks had something to do with the phenomena, but that is exploited by the fact that the animals always take the shortest cut home, regardless of the circulous route by which they may have been carried away. That such powers should be highly developed in creatures as different in other respects as cats and pigeons is in itself one of the most buffaling and extraordinary features of the whole problem; but I am convinced that the faculty, what it may be, exists in a rudimentary state in nearly all animals, including man himself, and may be easily sharpened by circumstances and surroundings." relates the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "For nine or ten years I used to spend part of every summer in Minnesota and Wisconsin, living in the woods and studying animal life. I became well acquainted with many native hunters and trappers, and have known several who showed clear evidence that they possessed the 'brain compass.' No matter where they went, how they twisted and turned, or what happened to distract their attention, they always knew the direction of their cabins and could return unhesitatingly in a bee line. They were all ignorant men and absolutely unable to explain their power. The only thing they could say was that they 'felt it.' Other trappers were remarkably expert in finding their way through the forest, but they were simply adepts at woodcraft and went by a thousand signs and tokens to which they had unconsciously turned their eyes. The two faculties were entirely distinct, and while the skilled trainer was invariably alert and feverishly observant, the brain-compass fellow was usually dull and sleepy and paid no attention to his surroundings. The men themselves recognized the existence of the homing instinct and contented themselves by saying that it 'came natural' to Pete or Pierre, or whatever his name might be. It is certainly a fascinating problem, and I have long believed that its solution would uncover some tremendously important secret in regard to the relations of man and inanimate life." Novelty in Millinery. A new adornment is finding favor among milliners. This consists of skeleton leaves preserved exactly as they fall from the tree and retaining their natural color. The leaves of the walnut, chestnut and platan tree are preferred for the purpose; large lye leaves and oak leaves are also used. The longest leaves are formed into a large pallette, one side being composed of a stiff painted feather, the other of the skeleton leaf, thus forming a broad garniture. A fine invisible wire fixed to the edge of the leaf prevents its crumpling. The smaller leaves are made into garlands mounted on an artificial or natural branch. The leaves have to be perfectly preserved, as their beauty naturally lies in the delicacy and transparency of the fiber—St. Louis Republic. More Brilliant Than the Sun. Prof. Simon Newcomb, writing of stars which are so distant that they have no measurable parallax, remarks that one of these, the brilliant Canopus, can be said, with confidence, to be 1,000 times brighter than the sun "Whether weshould say 20,000, 10,000 or 5,000 no one can decide." The first magnitude stars, Rigel and Spica, also are at an immeasurable distance, and must, in view of their actual brightness, enormously outshine the sun—Science. A Heathen Outburst.

There are about 50,000 eligible voters on the island of Porto Rico. Mustard used to be eaten whole instead of in the form of paste made from mustard flour. A new flower attracting much attention is an anter shaped like an ostrich feather, and produced already in a large variety of colors. There are more than 9,000 commercial florists in the United States, representing an invested capital of $11,250,000 and an annual trade of $27,750,000. If eggs kept in cold storage are in the vicinity of spoiled fruit they will taste of spoiled fruit, because the shell of the egg, being porous, absorbs odors rapidly.

Among the things found are a petrified cat, a petrified oak log, mussel shells, snails, etc.; also fine Indian arrow heads and fine specimens of different kinds of ore. A steady diet of sulphur and molasses is said to be a perfect protection against mosquito bites. The insect is declared to be antagonistic to the atmosphere that surrounds a person who indulges in that method of driving the impurities of his blood to the surface. Orin Feigeltel, of Phillipsburg, Pa. is out $300 because he talked too freely. Unknown thieves broke into his home the other evening, but failed to find anything. Next morning Orin gleeled told his friends that at the time the thieves made their raid he had $300 hidden in a secure place. That night he called on Miss Maud Peters, whom he was about to marry. On his way home he was sandbugged and robbed of the $300, and now he regrets being so chatty. BARNUM'S OLD TURTLE Animal Marked by the Showman in His Boyhood Caught Recently in Connecticut. A relic of the boyhood of P. T. Barnum, the showman, was unexpectedly discovered at Bethel, Conn., Barnum's birthplace. It is a 100-pound snapping turtle, in the shell of which is cut the inscription: P. T. B. 1830. Barnum in his reminiscences tells of Devil's island, a swamp island near his boyhood home, where he had a fierce encounter with a nest of snakes. It was close to this island that Nathan I. Bennett, a New York diamond merchant, discovered this living reel of the showman. Mr. Bennett's summer home is near by, and being a sportsman he recently bought the swamp and with it the island. The former contains many sluggish streams where some kind of fish abound and snakes are plentiful. Mr. Bennett started out to look over his new possessions and ventured far into the swamp. Coming to a biggy place he stepped upon a moss-covered bowler, as he supposed, and was instantly precipitated into the wet bog. The bowler rose up beneath him and walked away. Mr. Bennett had mistaken a monster turtle for a stone, and when he had wiped the swamp mud from his face and recovered from the start that the unexpected antie of the supposed bowler had given him, he went in pursuit of it. He was unable to handle the monster alone and two workmen came to his assistance. The turtle did not submit to capture without a fight. It was loaded on a stoneboat and dragged to Mr. Bennett's farm. When the moss and dirt were scraped from the turtle's back the inscription cut there by the showman when he was a lad was discovered. Mr. Bennett shipped the turtle to some of his friends in New York. The reptile is estimated to be more than 100 years old. Its shell will be preserved as a relic of P. T. Barnum. NOTES OF THE FASHIONS Handsome Fabrics That Are in Favor for the Fall Costumes. White felt hats and toque tricorne, Sir Peter Lely and new sailor and turban shapes in richly colored French felt lead at present in the fall display of millinery, says the New York Post. Eeru, cream and ivory guipure laces, with stock collar and girdle or some dark hued velvet, are still in marked favor as a decoration for handsome gowns of cloth or goods of lighter weave. The addition of a silk and chiffon vest and undersleeves is also a feature of the decoration, but these are adjustable this season, and can be changed for a gilet and sleeves of more durable sort. Where lace is not desirable braid or rows of velvet ribbon are more frequently substituted than trimming of any other description—sik machine stitching excended. The new beautiful "old rose" shade of the autumn is almost as pink as a caration blossom. It is at its best in the display of satins for evening toilets, millinery, and linings, among the lovely sheer wools for house dresses and velvets for various effective dress uses. Very handsome silks and velvets appear among the leading fabrics for smart costumes for day uses during the fall, but the stylish cloth models are the ones with which to begin the season. The black cloths were never so velvety fine or so beautifully finished as they are this season, and they undoubtedly take the lead as modish gowns suitable to wear at any time of day or for any kind of demidress entertainment. A very satisfactory feature of new English fashion is the length of the skirt of the street dress, many of them showing the absence of the training length of two seasons past. These models are not short to the extent of looking like a cycler's skirt, but there is a tendency in the right direction. The best tailor styles just clear the ground all around. Dressier French models are somewhat longer at the back. Evening and "at home" toilets are all provided with the graceful traina, which are their proper prerogative. SOCIETY DIRECTORY ODD FEI-LOWS.

Their Hundred Dollar Bill "SO HE'S gone at last, has he?" she wife, with a little elevation of her pretty eyebrows. "I began to think he was somewhat gifted with immortality." "Dead at last," said I. "And what do you think, Jenny? He has left us a hundred dollars." "A hundred dollars!" echoed my wife, clasping her hands together. "O, Charles—a hundred dollars!" Now all this may sound like a two-pence-half-penny sort of affair to some of my readers, as I am very well aware. But as I am only a clerk on a salary of $900 a year—a hundred dollars drifting, as it were, out of the sky, seemed a very neat little sum to me. Jenny and I were both young people, just beginning the world, with no particular riches, except one apple-cheeked baby. I walked to and from business every day to save the 20-cents fares. We did our best to make both ends meet—and a tight pull we found it. Old Uncle Moses Manson was mortally offended when his niece, Jenny Clifford, chose to marry me instead of a weazened, bespectacled old contemporary of his own. He had never spoken to her since, and we naturally entertained no very exalted hopes of any testamentary recollections on his part. And the $100 bill, therefore, possessed the charm of an agreeable surprise into the bargain. "Charles," said Jenny, under breath, "what shall we do with it?" "That is the very question," said I. "Do you know, Jenny—" I hesitated a little here. "Yes?" she responded, interrogatively. "Every fellow in the bank, except me, has a gold watch. I've been ashamed of this old silver concern more than once. And Seymour has a very nice secondhand one for sale that he will let me have for $00 if—" "And turn the $100 into a mere useless ornament!" cried Jenny, with a strong accent of disprobation in her voice. "Charley, that isn't a bit like you." "Well, then, what do you suggest?" "I should so like to give a social party with it," said Jenny, coaxingly. "Only think how often we have been invited out since we were married, and never have had a chance to return any of the hospitals of our friends. The musicians, the supper, and all, would come within the hundred dollars." "And you are absurd enough to wish to eat, and drink, and dance up a smel like that!" I cried. "No, no, Jennette, it is entirely out of the question." "A new velvet suit for the baby?" suggested Jenny, pouting a little at the emphasis of my words. "How would it correspond with the rest of our surroundings?" I asked, not without an acent of bitterness. "You had a great deal better suggest a new winter suit and overcoat for me. You never seem to observe how shabby I am getting." "Nobody notices a gentleman's dress," said Jenny. "I can make your overcoat look very nice with fresh bindings and new buttons—but how I should like a sealskin jacket!" "Jenny," said I, somewhat disgusted, "I hrd no idea you could be so selfish." "Selfish, indeed!" cried she. "I would like to know whether you have yet suggested anything which was not for your own special benefit and use!" We were both silent. I don't suppose either one of us had felt so vindictive before, since our marriage. Clearly the $100 bill had worked no great benefit as yet. "I'll tell you what, Jenny," said I; "let's compromise. Let's buy a new sitting-room and carpet. I saw a beautiful pattern yesterday." "I don't care very much for new carpets as long as we live on a second floor," said Jenny. "And you don't seem to remember, Charles, that I haven't had a silk dress since we were married. Black silk is suitable for all occasions, from a wedding to a funeral, and I really think—" "I believe a woman's thoughts are always running on dress," muttered I, somewhat entemptuously. "I'm sure that black alpaca of youra is beautiful." "That's all you know about the matter," said Jenny, elevating her nose. "Well, I don't care. Spend the money as you choose. Only, Uncle Moses was my relative." "And the money was left to me, Mra. Everts," said I. "O. Charles," said she, "how can you speak to me so?" "Because I'm a brute, Jenny," said I, fairly melted. "Forgive me, and we'll fling the old hundred-dollar bill into the fire before we'll let it scatter the seeds of division between us." "No, Charley, don't do that," said Jenny, laughing through her tears. "Let's—put it in the savings bank." "Agreed," said I. "And apropos of savings banks, did I tell you about Greene?" "No. What about Greene?" "Why, he and his wife have just moved into the prettiest little gothic cottage you ever saw, just the other side of the Harlem bridge, with a lawn and garden, and space to keep a little Aldermey cow." "Rented it?" "No; bought it." "Why, Charle, how can that be? Greene has only 200 or 300 a year more than you, and it takes money to buy places in the country. "All savings banks, my dear," said I. "Greene tells me that he and his wife have been saving up for years, with special reference to this country home for their children. They commenced with a 50-cent piece." "We can do better than that!" said Jenny, with sparkling eyes. "And I'll do without the silk dress." "And I'll make the old overcoat last another season, at the very least," I added. The next morning, bright and early, as soon as business hours would permit, I went and deposited the hundred dollars in the nearest savings bank. A week afterward Mr. Manyply dropped in, in a friendly way. Mr. Manyply is the lawyer who transacted Uncle Moses Manson's financial affairs—a plump, bald-headed, deep-voiced old gentleman, who always dresses in spotless black and wears a big seal ring on the little finger of his left hand. "So," said Mr. Manyply, "you've invested that $100, have you?" "Yes," said I, with the complacent air of one who has an account in bank. "But how did you know it?" "O, I know a good many things," said Mr. Manyply, oracularly. "But what's the idea of it?" "Economy," struck in Jenny, proudly. "We are saving now, Mr. Manyply. We mean to have a home for our little Charley—a garden full of roses and pinks and strawberries one of these days." "And a very laudible ambition," said Mr. Manyply, in that smooth, oily way of his. "How much would such a place cost now?" "Charley thinks if we waited for a bargain we could secure it for about $7,000." Jenny answered, promptly. "Buy it now, then," said Mr. Manyply. "Here's a check for $8,000." "Eh?" cried I, breathlessly. "A check," the old lawyer went on, "signed by your uncle Manson, pay- able to the order of his niece, Jane Anne Evarts. Ah! you may well look astonished. He was an eccentric old chap this uncle of yours, Mrs. Evarts —and I have his written instructions to keep an eye on the manner in which you invested that $100 bequest of his. 'If it is squandered in any foolish way, he writes, 'there is an end of the matter. 'Put my money all in the hospital for hunchbacks. If they show any disposition to save help them along with this check for $8,000, to be expended only in the purchase of real estate.' I congratulate you." This is how we became possessed of our little country home, where Charley thrives like a growing flower and Jenny fights about in a broad-brimmed gardening hat, trimming roses, prun- ing gooseberries and planting lily bulbs. And the $100 bill still lies untouched in the savings bank. "It shall be Charley's fortune," says my wife. "It would be a shame to touch it after it has wrought us so much good."—Philadelphia Item. ANTIDOTE FOR BLACKLEG. Scientists Have Recently Discovered a Preventive of the Dreaded Disease in Cattle. The most important recent achievement by the bureau of animal industry, says the Saturday Evening Post, is the discovery and application of a prevention for that dreaded disease of cattle known as blackleg. This malady in some states of the union destroys more cattle than all other causes combined; Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and the Dakotas suffer very severely. In fact, over a large part of the beef-raising region there is a loss of from ten to twenty per cent. of yearling stock annually through this complaint. It appears suddenly in the shape of a black swelling, usually on the hind quarters, and is invariably fatal. Having ascertained some time ago that the disease was caused by a bacterium, the bureau set to work to prepare a vaccine which is obtained from animals that have died of the complaint. Four years ago 50,000 doses of the stuff were sent out by way of experiment, and the results obtained were so remarkable that 350,000 doses were distributed in the following year in response to requests. In the third year 500,000 doses were given away, and in 1900 over 1,000,000 will be sent out. How effective the vaccination is as a preventive of the malady may be judged from the statement, as made by cattlemen, that it reduced their losses by blackleg to less than one-half of one per cent. The vaccine is furnished to infected ranges free of charge, and anybody may obtain it by addressing an application to Dr. D. E. Salmon, of the department of agriculture. Preference is given to applications made out on regular blanks, which may be gotten by anybody who asks for them. Blackleg is one of the most widespread of cattle disease; it is even suspected that a malady which often causes great loss among the reindeer herds of Lapland, Siberna and northern Russia is in reality this same complaint. FALL FASHIONS. Pretty Fancies That Are Noticed in the Costumes of the Season. Pretty liberty satins are among the new goods for evening wear. They come in delicate shades and have raised polka dots. Nothing falls in pretier folds than liberty satins. Brocaded silks come in polka dot patterns, inside narrow stripes. A pretty pattern of wavy lines has a pretty crisp effect given by lines which are woven into the silk. Crystalline silks they call these, says Harper's Bazar. The hair is worn lower, and only those women who do not object to being out of fashion cling to the monumental pompadour. The part is the thing, on the right side, left side, in the middle, anywhere so long as it is becoming and is not too pronounced. The straight-haired girl is more than eye to be pitied, for soft fluffiness is an absolute requisite in the up-to-date coiffure, and the delicious fluffy curls around the nape of the neck that are now in vogue are not to be attained through curling tongs; or, at least, if attained, the achievement is a fugitive one, and the last state of that young woman is lamentable. The white cloth and light flannel waists with a colored dot or stripe will be in marked favor during the entire fall season. Those described some weeks ago have been copied, and very soon new garments of soft wool, in regular shirt waist style, will be procurable at any of the best dry goods houses. The autumn models fit perfectly. They are at once neat, becoming and serviceable, while, being simply made, they are easily cleaned. There are new graceful autumn models in both five and seven-gored skirts, the backs cut to conform to the latest style, of a certain amount of fullness at the back, in slight draperies, in box plaits, a number of partly stitched plaits, or French shirrings, very closely massed. Black velvet ribbon run through beading makes a pretty finish for a tucked lawn or chiffon yoke and collar. The velvet is only run through the beading around the neck, but serves to hold the collar in place, and is becoming and dainty. Autumn neckwear shows but little that is new. Invention seems to have been squeezed dry for summer purposes, and the stocks and cravats worn with summer frocks will be adapted to winter use. Stocks of tucked silk, chiffon or velvet, lace barbs, scarfs of all kinds, are correct, but the clever girl will not trust a piece of ribbon around her throat and consider her neck dressed. The cravat must be made and finished daintily and must show it. Certain little taftafe and satin stocks have appeared, whose ends are brought back to the front and are just long enough to tie in a tiny bow without loops, the ends being drawn up and finished with a small gold tassel or ball. Velvet cravats, gold embroidered, are also shown in the shops. HIS IUDGMENT WAS WRONG. Tribulations of a Hound That Tried to Whip All the Dogs in the Neighborhood. Sooner was a waif, or, more correctly speaking, a soldier of fortune. No one knew his antecedents. He had dragged himself into Hogarth's yard one day, worn out and exhausted after a long run on the trail of a buck. There was no telling how far he had come, as a fast hound will cover many miles in a day, and keep it up for two or three days. But he had driven the buck into the lake, and the Hogarth boys had killed it; therefore they treated the dog well, and as he liked the place he remained and became one of the household, relates the Chicago Chronicle. The time Sooner discovered he had fighting blood in his veins marked an epoch in his life. He overestimated his ability, it is true, and suffered in consequence. A new settler moved into that part of the country and established himself about six or seven miles from Hogarth's. Regarding the size of his family, he was far behind Hogarth, but when it came to dogs it was simply a walkaway. Several breeds were represented in his collection, but the "yaller dog" predominated. Sooner undertook to clean out the entire crowd alone and unaided. It was something of an undertaking, and he spent six out of seven days in the hospital while the war was on. "He doesn't seem to be much of a fighter," I remarked to Hogarth one day when the subject was under discussion. "Oh, he kin fight all right," Hogarth replied; "it's his judgment what's wrong. Sooner's a fust-rate fighter, but he's a dern poor jedge of dongs." He was game, though, and stuck at it until he had conquered each one of the new dogs in turn, with the exception of a huge brindle bulldog. With this dog he employed strategy. He bowed down before him and addressed him with smooth words and made friends with him, and then one day he enticed him over to his own home, and all the dogs there pitched on the brindle bull and half killed him. Sooner became more blase than ever after this achievement. It so plainly showed his superiority to all the rest of the dog creation. This fighting trait was unusual in a hound, for as a rule they are peacefully inclined. It served to accentuate the fact that Sooner was not like other dogs. Hashed Potatoes Cut fat salt pork in small cubes, try out and remove the scraps; there should be about one-third cup of fat. Add two cups of cold boiled potatoes, finely chopped, one-eighth teaspoon of pepper, and salt if necessary. Mix the potatoes thoroughly with the fat; cook for four minutes, stirring constantly; then let stand until browned underneath. - Good Housekeeping. Spotson Mirrors. The reason why mirrors spot and blur is because they are placed where a strong light falls directly on them. All mirrors should be so placed that the light shall come to them from the sides.

CONNOISSEUR IN SEEDS He Planted Some Bulbs That Turned Out to Be Bearing Balls for a Bicycle. "I have a good joke on myself," said the business man whose hobby is agriculture, says the Detroit Free Press. "My mind has always had a particular preference for seeds and roots, and I never miss an opportunity to induce this fancy. Some time ago, in looking through an old tool box, I came across several peculiar looking seeds that at once aroused my interest. They were a little different from anything the other thing had done covered during my floricultural and agricultural experience, and I decided to present them and see what the product would be. Well, I did so, and for weeks I waited to see the strange fruit, flower or vegetable plant make an appearance, carefully nurturing the soil, and giving my pet bulbs the closest attention. "Discouraged at length at their failure to part the soil and spring into life, I dug them up, and what do you suppose was the discovery that I made? Why, that my interesting and peculiar bulbs were nothing more nor less than those little bicycle balls that are an important part of the steel steel's mechanism. They had been laid away in the toolbox, and their size and rusted appearance made them resemble seeds. My wife and some of my intimate friends seem to think there is no excuse for such a ludicrous thing to happen to a man that has made a study of plants and bulbs, and they are never done chaffing me and asking me when I expect to gather my crop of bicycles." FISHED FOR A COMPLIMENT. And the Pretty Young Girl Caught Something That Gave Her I overheard a bit of conversation on a Chevy Chase car the other evening that put me in a good humor for all the rest of the week, says a writer in the Washington Post, and I am not sure how much I am supposed to the number of those pretty girls who are forever longing to be told of their beauty. She was with a blue-eyed young man who looked as if he had seen 25 summers and a couple of years of professional. She was talking of a girl called Maud. "Don't you think Maud is a awfully pretty?" she asked. "She's a peach," answered the young man. The girl dangled a bait more obvious. "I'd be perfectly happy," she said, "if I were as pretty as she." The young man merely settled his tie a tride. "Oh, well," he remarked, "there's no use unhappy about things that can't be helped." The Baby Was Healthy. Two Irianmen who had not seen each other for a long time met at a fair. They had a lot of things to tell each other. "Shure, it's married I am," said O'Brien. "You don't tell me so," said Blake. "Fair, yes, you don't tell me that "I am the health bishop which the neighbors say is the very picter of me." Blake looked for a moment at O'Brien, who was not, to say the least, remarkable for his good looks, and then said: "Och, well, what's the harum so long as the child's healthy?" — Chicago Chronicle.

The de- cision was arrived at after a confer- ence between representatives of the individual coal operators und the large ‘coal carrying companies. The confer- ence began Tuesday. Vietory ts Complete. It is conceded that the result of Wednesday's conference is a complete ‘victory for the men. All the demands ‘of their convention are acceded to and, as one of the individual operators put it after the conference, the oper- ators go a little further in agreeing to maintain the wage advance after April 1. Just ow soon the official or- der notifying the men that the strike fx ended and to return to work will be fnsued by President Mitchell can ‘only be conjectured. It ix believed here that no order to return will be iasued until @ notice similar to or in line with that of the Ieading and Le- high companies Is posted at all the mines. ‘The Reading company’s notice reads: “It hereby withdraws the notice ported October 3, 1900, and, to bring about. prac- (ical ‘uniformity in the advance of waxes in the several coal regions, gives notice that AC will suspend the operation of the sliding ‘koale, will pay ten per cent, advance on Beptember wager tilt April}. 1901, and thereafter until further notice; and will take up with Its mine employes any grlev. ances which they may have.” ‘This meets all the demands of the strikers and means the immediate ending of the strike.

President Mitchell, of the United ‘Mine Workers, when informed of the ‘Reading company's action, was pressed for a statement on this acesptanes of the miners’ proposition. Ali he would venture to say, however, was that he would be gind indeed to know that the anthracite operators hail decided to change the notices previously poster 40 as to comply with the provisions of the resolutions adopted at the Seran- ton convention.
