DUCKETT PUBLISHER AND MANAGER CHINESE CIVIL SERVICE. Positions in the Customs Service Are Attractive and Are Eagerly Sought. There is no fixed limit to the length of time which a Chinese customs assistant may spend at a port, says H. C. Whittlesey, in Atlantic. The average period is about three years. The chances then are that a man in a southern port will be ordered north, or that one on the Yangtse will be sent south. Promotion to the next higher grade often accompanies a transfer, and there is also the change of climate and the opportunity to see and learn more of the land, its customs and people. In the north the foreigner has an excellent chance to collect a variety of curios consisting of old coins, pieces of porcelain, antique bronzer, and choice bits of embroidery, while on the Yangtse and in the south he can suit a critical taste in selecting silk piece goods, silver and gold articles of native workmanship, and wood and ivory carvings. At the end of seven years a member of the indoor staff completes his first period, as it is called, and is entitled to go home for a two year's holiday, and also to receive one year's full pay as a gratuity. Upon his going back to China for further service the customs pay one-half of the cost of his return fare. He then serves five years more, when he completes his second period, and can again go home on two years' leave and receive a second gratuity—and so on for as long as health and inclination may permit. . . . The conditions of an engagement in the customs are considered usually attractive on account of the generous salary, security of position, and prospect of sure advancement. Resignations rarely occur, and there are always more applicants than there are vacancies. CHINESE WOMEN SERVANTS. They Are of Common Employment Among the Japanese-Few in America. We are accustomed to think only of Chinamen as servants, because it is almost unknown for a Chinese woman to go out to service in this country, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. This is not the case, however, in Japan, some of the most efficient servants of that country being from China. A merchant from this country, who has been doing business in Tokyo for several years, returned home recently, bringing with him two Chinese women as nurses for his young children. He says it is customary in Japan to place the very young children in charge of Chinese nurses, and when they are older to employ Japanese women. The reason given is because the Chinese women are so faithful in the care of babies A Chinese nurse will hang her head with shame if the baby cries. She thinks it is all her fault. She hovers over her charge with anxious care, and makes a great fuss if it appears that anyone is going to behave imprudently with the child. The stalwart father of the babies referred to used to go into the nursery and toss the little ones high in the air. But the nurse never failed to remonstrate nervously: "You will kill them in their insides," she said. The Chinese nurse expects to take entire charge of the child, preparing everything that it eats and washing its clothes. The nurse who came to this country with the American babies brought pebbles all the way from Japan with which she cleaned the infant's bottle. Chinese servants are regarded in Japan as much more reliable than Japanese. --- The Afro-American Advance. Hello! I want to tell Madam E. Luverne Adams, the fashionable dressmaker on Wabasha street, No. 418, that I desire her to make me one of those summer creations, all over lace and tucks, that is so swell. I am going to Mrs. Newrich's musicale and I must have it. Correspondence, letters, etc., must reach us by Wednesday for publication. 395 Thomas street.

The agony is over. "Now will you be good?" Mr. W. A. Williams, after a two months' visit among relatives in Rich-Va., has returned home. Miss Lizie Roach and Mr. William Beans was quietly married last Thursday evening, at the residence of Mrs. W. A. Lawrence on University avenue. Mrs. T. J. Starks lies very ill at St. Luke's hospital. Mrs. Addie Bellicene is visiting down in Missouri, among relations of her husband. She will remain the greater portion of the autumn. St. James A. M. E. church people met in a rousing big meeting Monday evening, Nov. 5, to decide upon a very important question with them this time. Whether to request the old church building or build a new one. The question was decided promptly and unanimously for a new church on the lot recently purchased at a cost of $1,200. Bands, clubs and individuals are at work already and declare by their efforts that the new church will surely be a reality and a fine brick structure at that. St. Paul people, especially the young folks, attended the Union S. S. meeting at Bethesda Baptist church, Minneapolis, in large numbers Sunday afternoon. Those who missed hearing Rev. J. C. Anderson, at St. James Church, Sunday morning, on the theme: "Freed by the Faith," were unfortunate indeed. Aside from the eloquent discourse, the young preacher reached his hearers, in a way that made his sermon do the good that he intended. Mrs. Ben Collins, of Chicago, will be the guest of Mrs. Geo. Duckett next week. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. To the Editor of the Advance: I wish to make this statement to the public through the columns of your paper. I am informed that there is a lie going around that I refused to deliver money in my possession belonging to the John Brown Monument Fund. Now, if any ever said that I refused to pay over any money when an order was presented properly signed, after passing the board of directors, they simply lie. The company that signed my bonds for $10,000, the largest bond ever signed or any colored man or woman in Minnesota, for five years back. I only wish that those who started the lie could stand the same investigation. (Signed) J. H. DILLINGHAM THE CANDIDATE'S RETORT. An Electioneering Incident in Engle land When the Candidate Was Ahead. The duke of Leeds recently celebrated his thirty-ninth birthday at Hornby castle, near Bedale, where he generally lives with the duchess and his four little daughters when he is not on board the Corisande enjoying his favorite recreation of yachting. The prospect from Hornby castle is a magnificent one, overlooking, as it does, one of the most beautiful of the Yorkshire dales. The park is of great extent and the timber exceptionally fine, the greatest care having been bestowed on every individual tree. The present duke is a nephew of Lord Sydney, Godolphin Osborne, the famous correspondent (under his initials, S. G. O.) of the Times of a former generation, and father of the young priest of the Oratory, whose premature death a year or two ago was so widely regretted. His grace himself has always looked younger than his years and the happy retort is not forgotten which he once made on the hustings when a parliamentary candidate to a voter who called out to the boyish-looking speaker: "Does your mother know you're out?" "Yes, she does," promptly rejoined Lord Carmarthen, as he was then, "and on Monday evening she'll know I'm in!" And so she did. Bismarck on Diplomacy Men who think they are statesmen and diplomats by nature might, at any rate, consider the words of Bismarck: "Diplomacy." he says, "is no booakerman's stool, on which one can sit, stretch a knee strap and put a patche on a hole; diplomacy is not a craft which can be learned by years and developed by rote on a roller; diplomacy is an art." A Celebrated King. Once, after exposing the ridiculous blunders of the editor of certain old plays, James Russell Lowell concluded with the remark: "In point of fact, we must apply to this gentleman the name of the first king of Sparta." No one remembered, of course, what this was, but when they looked it up they found it was Eudamida. MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL, MINN., SATURDAY, NOV. 10, 1900 MINNEAPOLIS For good cigars call at W. S.

JUST LOOK HERE We will not insult your intelligence. We think you know that no man can continue in business unless he receives patronage from the people. An up-dose meal, or a cosy room can be had at John Godfrey's, 148 East Ninth He Wouldn't Tell. The argument by analogy or hypothetical case is often dangerous. A very stately and dignified clergyman used to tell a mory illustrative of the dangers of alcoholism, and the mothers was much addicted to drink and one night the vicar met him coming home in such a condition that he remonstrated with him on the spot, and by the end of the night he said, "What would you say if you were to see me reeling down the street in a state of hopeless intoxication?" The offender appeared to be deeply impressed and an aide told him, "I tell a soul a sir." What Hurts. "The other side," observed the candidate, in much apprehension, "putting some pressure on the organization." "But no money to speak of." rejoined the chairman of the campaign committee, complacently.—Detroit Journal. LAYS CLAIM TO NEBRASKA Meiklejohn Sends Dispatch to Washington Stating That State Goes for McKinley. ALSO SAYS LEGISLATURE IS REPUBLICAN Result in Kentucky Still in Doubt, with Both Pairs Claiming Victory- tory-Complexion of the Legislis- ture in Pennsylvania-Latest Election News from Other States. Washington, Nov. 9. -Assistant Secretary of War Meklejohn Thursday telegrammed here as follows: "Fullerton, Neb., Nov. 9. -Nebrasa is re- moved from Kansas has carried the state by not less than 5,000. The legislature is republican both houses." Omaha, Neb. Nov. 9.—The Hoe at noon prints a table on the national ticket giving complete returns from 55 counties, and on ten other counties with one prefect missing from each, out of a total of 90 counties, which gives McKinley 90.225, Omaha 89.175, Nebraska 84.67, gave McKinley, 85.476, Bryan, 96.547. This is a net gain for McKinley of 14.803. Bryan's plurality in 1986 was 13.500. With this ratio of increase throughout the state, Bryan's plurality of about 3,000 in the state. There were 12,000 to 15,000 more votes polled in the state than in 1986 and the fusionists claim these are mostly from the cities and towns, which have already been reported with a small plurality. The reported will give Bryan a small plurality in the state. The state ticket is running close to the vote on president and it may require the official count to be correct. Both sides claim four out of the six congressmen. The legislative is closer than any other ticket. The Douglas county delegation will be split about in half between fusionists and non-fusionists. Note that neither side will have more than five or six majorities on joint ballot. Kentucky Bills Louisville Ky. 9—At both democratic and republican headquarters at ten o'clock Thursday the leaders adhered to their claims of Wednesday night, the democrats declaring that Beckham's majority would not be less than 10.000. Sixteen percent of them in the extreme sections of the state—in the First and Eleventh districts. Democrats assert that the republicans are holding back the Eleventh district and that the Democrats are holding up the First district for the show-down when it becomes definitely known just how many votes are needed. The democrats say there is no doubt that the majority will be satisfied only when the official count is made. They say there has been the most aggrant padding in Owen and Franklin and other counties, but no decision. Democratic leaders on the contrary say there has been no fraud whatever and that they will be perfectly satisfied to stand by the official count. Claims of Fraud. Leslie Combs, chairman of the republican state campaign committee, at 11 o'clock, dictated the following statements: "Under any fair election conditions, the Republican state will be made the state by 8,000 or 10,000 majority. The republican vote has been whittled in many places by petty larceny and a number of places by highway robbery. Nothing but the official count will be made under the Gosel law by commissioners from whom the republican party has no reasonable grounds to expect fair treatment." At one o'clock the Evening Times chairman of the republican state (dem.) for governor, by 3,498, basing the Dem. district on the republican claim of 19,265 majority there for Yerkes. The returns to date show Beckham's majority without the Eleventh district to be 22%. At 11 o'clock the Republican state will all returns from the Eleventh district probably would be in Thursday night. CONTENT Frankfort, G., Y., Nov. 9—Gov. Beckham will meet the state capital Thursday. He says his plurality will not be under 5,000. The state election commission will meet week after next to canvass the returns. The returns from the rural counties will be evident now that both sides will continue to claim the state till after the official count is made and then there will likely be a contest for governor to be settled in the courts. The results in several counties are incorrect and that the result in them cannot be ascertained till the question of contented ballots in those counties is settled in the courts and that this will determine who has been Can't Be Taken Into Courts. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 3-8. Democratic leaders here say that the Kentucky election, as far as governor is concerned, cannot, unquestionably, be taken into the courts. They say that as the election was held under the old election law the returning board, which is democratic, must finally pass on all concessions questions to the governor not become effective until the next election. Hence, the democratic leaders assert, that on the face of the returns, even allowing every claim the republicans make as to the Eleventh district, would be elected with upward of 4,000 votes to spare. Fusion Legislature in Colorado. Fusion Legislature in Colorado. Denver, Col., Nov. 8. The fusionists will have a majority of 24 on joint ballot in the legislature which will elect a successor to United States Senator Woolcott. It appears from the returns that senate candidates will be a publican while in the house the fusionists will number 23 and the republicans 12. Situation in Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, Pa. Nov. 9.—It is figured here by those who have kept close watch of the contest for the control of the next two branches will line up as follows: House of Representatives-Quay (rep. 196; anti-Quay (rep. and fus.), 16; democrats, 43. Total, 294 House of Representatives figures the Quay republicans have only three votes above the 16 necessary to organize the house. Senate-Quay (rep.), 25; anti-Quay (rep.), 12; democrats, 13. Total, 50. Between Quay and anti-Quay as creates an interesting situation as regards the organization of the body and the disposition of what the democrats and anti-Quay can make to the senate. Partisan legislation and gubernatorial appointments. On joint ballot, according to these figures, Mr. Quay, if he is a candidate for Quay, will be in joint ballot, three more than the number necessary to a choice. Mr. Quay has declared that he will be a candidate and his friends say he will stick to his determination to feature ballots for senator on January 15. The leaders of the Business Men's League, who organized the fight against Quay, many of the counties for several years, assert that Quay is a reflection. They further declare Quay's reflection. that Mr. Quay's friends cannot organise either branch of the legislature. The Fifty-Seventh Congress. Washington, Nov. 8.—The following table shows how the senate and house of representatives will probably stand: Claim West Virginia Legislature. New York, Nov. 9 - Senator B. N. Scott, at republican national headquarters in this city, received a dispatch from West Virginia Thursday saving that the legisl- tion will be republican from 15 to 20 majority. Official Count in Delaware. Wilmington, Del., Nov. 9 - Unofficial returns of the election in Delaware Thursday show the total vote to be as follows: Bryan McKinley Newcastle county 7,380 Kent county 3,850 4,229 Sussex county 3,937 4,831 Total 17,848 21,960 make no difference in the result. Alexander M. Daly, democratic nominee for president, about 1,000 ahead of Bryan electoral ballot. There is no change in the complexion of the legislature as given out Wednesday, but there is great interest in the official count, as there is a probability of the count changing the result in some of the close districts, and possibly changing the result in the legislature from Republican to democratic. Kern Defeats Rodenburg St. Louis, Nov. 9—W. A. Rodenburg (rep.), who was at first reported elected to congress in the Twenty-first Illinois district, is, according to the latest returns, a senator, and a congressman, Fred Kern, by a majority of 27. Cook County Republican, Chicago, Nov. 9—Revised returns on the county vote indicate that the republican ticket was successful throughout, save in the election for coroner, county judge, and clerk of the sanitary district. John E Traeger (dem.), succeeded in beating George Bers (rep.), for coroner, by a narrow plurality in the police returns. Bers says the returns are inaccurate, and that the officiating canvass will show he has been elected. Ohio's Vote. Columbus, O., Nov. 9—With only Monroe county to hear from, Chairman Dick, of the republican state committee, figure McKinley's plurality in Ohio at 71,917. If the ratio of gain is maintained in Monroe, the plurality for McKinley will be 70,200. Clean Sweep in California. Clean sweep in California. San Francisco, Nov. 9—Nearly complete. The governor said that California has given McKinley and Roosevelt close to 40,000 plurality. The figures as compiled are: McKinley, 150,352. Hryan, 38,069. Plurality for McKinley, 38,069. The precincts yet to be heard from gave their vote in 1896. McKinley, 12,746. Bryan, 12. If the average of republican gain is maintained in these precincts they will swell the plurality for McKinley by about 2,000, making it reach the 40,000 mark. There is no longer any doubt that California delegation to congress. In the Second district the only one in which the contest was close, Samuel D. Woods will have 1,500 plurality over 2. D. Broul, will have 1,500 plurality in the Fourth district and McLachian 5,132 in the Sixth district. Both branches of the legislature will be republican by phenomenal majorities. The senate will stand with the majority of the members being the result of the election of but one democrat. The holders are: Republicans, 15; democrats, 5. This gives the republicans a clear majority of 18 holdovers for the legislature, The assembly, according to the best figures now obtainable, will be composed of 62 republicans and 18 democrats. The former assembly was made up of 59 republicans and 12 democrats. As the senate then was 25 republicans and 11 democrats, a joint ballot will show 11 more republicans than in the last. The republican plurality in San Francisco, with one precinct missing, is 5.931. St. Paul, Minn. 9. - The Dispatch has complete returns from 65 counties, incomplete returns from 12 counties, with only two small counties missing, giving the governor, 5.66 plurality over Lluís (fus). Latest from Montana. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 9 — A Helena (Mont.) special to the Dispatch says: Complete returns show the next legislature will be composed of 13 Clark democrats, 13 Michiganicans, 9 Daily democrat and 1 populist. Practically complete returns show Bryan's majority to be 8,900 while Toolie for governor is 7,800. The governor's ticket including congressman and associate justice supreme court are elected by 7,600. Bryan carried the state four years ago by over 23,000. **Senator Shoup Defended.** Boise, Idaho. Nov. 9. About four-fifths of the vote of Idaho has been reported. He has supported (fus), for congress, has 929, and Hunt (fus), for governor, 1,441. The fusionists have 42 members of the legislature, the republicans, 25, with 2 unreported. This will retire George I. Shoup from the United States senate. **Republican Shoup Defended to Congress.** Tampa, Tahwah. Nov. 9. In 32 out of 65 precincts in Pierce county McKinley has 5,752. Bryan, 3,723; Rogers, 5,095; Fink, 4,597. Cushman and Jones (repe), for congress, will carry the county by about 2,790. Forkland, Ore. Nov. 9. Completes returns from all but three small counties in the state give McKinley a plurality of 14,225. Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 9—Marcus A. Smith, of Tucson, the democratic candidate for delegate to congress, was elected by 66 over Murphy, the republican candidate. WON'T TAKE SENATORSHIP SENDS CONGRATULATIONS TO M'KINLEY.

PRICE FIVE CENTS. MAY LOSE MONUMENT. Fine Soldiers and Sailors' Monument at Peorla, Ill., in Danger of Being Sold. Peoria, Ill., Nov. 9—The soldiers and sailors' monument, one of the finest marble shafts in the country, erected somewhat more than a year ago at a cost of almost $50,000, and dedicated by President McKinley, may be sold because of the inability of the committee in charge to raise $13,000 still due on it. A proposition to pay the balance on the monument out of the county fund was submitted to the voters at the election held Tuesday and the vote was a negative one. The county has already given $10,000 to the monument fund and the city has given a like amount. Now the managers have an offer of $20,000 more than the shaft cost and the understanding is that it will be sold unless something is done by the citizens of Peoria to raise the balance.

It is said that Moorehouse was the only person that knew just what chemicals were stored in the building at the time of the explosion. ELECTIONS IN CANADA.

London, Nov. 9.—The editorials in the papers here Thursday express warm approval of the reelection of Sir Wilfred Laurier the premier of the Dominion of Canada, and the return of the liberal government to power. The Pall Mall Gazette voices the general tone of the comment in saying; "Sir Wilfred Laurier is the living embodiment of the spirit required in Canada. It looks as if he might have as long a spell of power as Sir John MacDonald. Not only that, but he is also a statue of the British imperialist statesman, one of the most inspiring, most useful personalities in the empire, but the election attack on him has vanguaged have deserved the severe defeat." Deny Sale of Mine. Denver, Col., Nov. 9. Although the reported sale of the Portland mine is denied at the offices of the company in Colorado Springs, it is generally believed in mining circles that this big Cripple Creek property will pass into the hands of an English syndicate, consisting of the Venture corporation, the Exploration company and Werner, Belt & Co., the South African diamond miners and investors in Mexico mines and railways.

THE STORY TELLER Just as a stone, cast on the placid face Of some still water, sends it rippling wide. And far, in circles of concentric grace, And far, in circles of concentric grace, Is quelled again unto its peaceful lot; So fails the word thy lip doth careless Or gr (grant it rather be) with careful thought, Grown upon the silence, sending far across The space of Time, ethereal waves that sweep, Extending more and more, yet fading wide. Far from the sound that broke its peace- ful deep; And then, forgotten, Stillness reigns again. Since when 'tis past, the waters in their Sink calmly back, and naught has changed its form? Ah, no! The waves that circled 'er the To shapes unnumbered, many clods of sand, And each succeeding wave, like that before. Though lesser in degree, performed its share. And theirs in importance on the distant shore Beyond what it can ever repair. Thus, when thy word's forgotten in the lape Of that which becalmed the silence that thou broke; Remember that the waves it raised, perhaps, and on, far out past all revoke. And touching here and there a soul that stood. Beyond the rest, exposed to all the sea, Receptive to its influence for good or evil. That these same waves thy words in motion set tion set Swept to the shores of all Humanity: Smoothed all its roughened features with their Trest. And helped to shape it for Eternity. —Charles E. Jenney, in Chicago Advance. WHY THE MINCE PIES WERE FAILURES PAPA HUDGENS says that he appreciates the beauties of the fall of the year about as much as the next one. It does him good, he says, to see the woods in their expiring blaze of crimson and gold, to walk through the rustling leaves, to inhale the bracing freshness of the air, with now and then a whiff of burning brush, or to tramp through the stubble with a gun and a dog that knows his business, but that which he chiefly delights in is the advent of mince pie. The mince-pie season opens in the Hudgens family about the first of October, sometimes a week or two later, but never a day before; Mrs. Hudgens is inflexible on this point, one reason being that in her fine judgment the apples have to attain a certain degree of mellowness on the hay before they are fit to be used in the meat. Then mince pie must be served hot; not merely warm, but so that it is necessary to raise the upper crust to allow the escape of the aromatic steam, thus agreeably tintillating the offertories and exciting the salivary glands for the reception of the first morsel. Also, Mrs. Hudgens says, if she did not put a time limit somewhere they would have her making mincemeat the year around; which is not improbable, for the children all take after their father in their fondness for this delicacy. Buckingham Hubbard, the young man who is domesticated with the family by virtue of a friendly financial arrangement and a distant relationship, is the worst one of the lot. None of them could be blamed, for Mrs. Hudgen's mincemeat was something to wonder at and remember. It was her specialty, and she was nothing in the culinary line she ever attempted that did not impress her guests as a chef d'oeuvre. And it was an event in the household when she began to make her mincemeat. Everybody was anxious to help. Hudgen, who had previously selected the beef, pared the apples, which he did very neatly; Clinton stoned the raisins, for raisins ready-stoned were disapproved of; Ethelinda sliced the citron and Buckingham offered suggestions until driven away. Under a less competent overseer this division of labor might have resulted disastrously, but there had been only one failure in the family annals, not counting the present season. That was last year. Apparently everything had been done as usual, and the jars were filled and put away with a promise of pies on the Sunday following. The Sunday casket at last, and the family gathered around the table, glaid and gluttonous antipelation gleaning in every eye. There was a particularly prime and juicy sirloin of beef for dinner, with accompaniments of roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts and Yorkshire pudding, but nobody made any more than a pretense of eating any of these, and Mr. Hudgens' exhortation to the company in general to save a corner for a piece of pie was received with shouts of derisive laughter. Mr. Hudgens got the first piece, and his face beamed as he raised the upper crust with his fork. Cautiously he severed a small piece and put it in his mouth; then his brows grew together in a frown. "Pour your father a glass of milk, Ethelina; he's burned his mouth," said Mrs. Hudgens, who had been watching him anxiously. "No, I haven't," said Hudgens. "I—He stopped and took another mouthful and his expression of pain deepened. "What is this you've got in the pie, mother? It doesn't seem right, somehow." "It doesn't, does it?" remarked Buckingham, who had tasted his. "It aln't at all like the mincement that mother used to make," said Clinton. Mrs. Hudgens, tasting the pie herself, was forced to admit it. A careful analysis was made, but all the component parts of the real thing appeared to be there. Discussion followed, but for some time the something lacking was unaccounted for, until Hudgens suddenly smeared the table with his palm and said: "I know what's the matter. There isn't any brand in it." "Not as much as usual." owned Mrs. Hudgens. "There wasn't much left in the bottle, and I didn't want to wait until your father got some, but I'm sure that isn't what is the matter with it, because I have always disliked the brandy flavor in it, and I believe it would improve it if it was left out altogether. Anyway, there's enough in it now." As a general thing when Mrs. Hudgens spoke in that decided tone of voice no one ventured to dispute her, but on this occasion Mr. Hudgens felt it his duty to protest. He said that except as a flavoring extract for mincement he had no sort of use for liquor himself, but in that connection it was indispensable. Buckingham said that Mrs. Hudgens' recipe was so absolutely perfect that the least departure from its letter, and particularly its spirit, was fatal. Even Ethelinda joined the opposition. Mrs. Hudgens, however, was immovable. She declared that unless they could find something else the matter with the mincement it should fill the pies as it was, from henceforth until it was exhausted, and she kept her word. This year when the making of mincement began Mrs. Hudgens was implored not to forget the brandy, but she would give no definite assurance that she would not. She tightened her lips in what the family declared to be an omnious way. There was a great deal of anxiety on the subject. "She still thinks that there was something else missing last year," whispered Buckingham to Clinton and his father as they retired to the pantry to consult. "You see, she will make cooakure of everything else, but she'll leave out that one thing altogether." "I suppose she's the doctor," sigged Hudgens. Clinton merely shook his head, and as there seemed nothing further to do the men moved to the porch. If Buckingham's surmise concerning the housewife's intentions was correct she repented of it suddenly, for she was no sooner alone than she went to the medicine closet and brought out a bottle of brandy, with which she liberally dosed her mixture. Then she stirred it well and left the room to attend to something else. In a few moments Hudgens came in with a budge under his coat, looked cautiously about him and then called to his wife, who replied from the top of the staircase that she would be down in a minute or two. "A minute or two is good," grinned Hudgens, and, drawing a bottle from under his coat, he poured about half of its contents into the mincement, stirred it up and snaked away. Then Ethelinda came in from school through the back door, and, noticing that the medicine closet was unlocked, A MINCE PIE MUST BE SERVED HOT went to close it and noticed the bottle. She uncorked it, sniffed at it daintily and shuddered. Looking around, she saw the mincement on the table and decided that a little of the horrible stuff wouldn't hurt it much. She put in more than she intended to, however, and fled in a panic as soon as she had replaced the bottle. More than a minute or two passed, and still Mrs. Hudgens did not reappear; instead, Clinton came in and stood with his hands in his pockets, whistling and looking at the big pan of mincement. Then the door suddenly opened and Buckingham came in, looking particularly unconcerned and careless. "It's all right," said Clinton. "There isn't anybody around. Have you got it?" For answer Buckingham produced a pint flask from his hip pocket, and the liquid it contained was speedily emptied into the pan. That is how the second failure took place. It happened, too, that the pastor of the family church was at dinner when the pies were opened.—Chicago Daily Record. AN EMBARRASSING MISTAKE. An Irate Yankee Blows Up a British General White in Fatigue Uniform. An amusing incident occurred recently in Cork. Lady Claremorris, who was on a short visit to Gen. and Mrs. McCalmont, at government house, was being seen off at the station by the general, who wore fatigue uniform. While they were chatting at the carriage door an irate Yankee was arguing loudly with a porter hard by about his "baggage", which he wanted to get labeled for "the Kingsbridge" (Dublin). The porter vainly explained to him that that train was going to Limerick and not to Kingsbridge. The Yankee would insist on having his baggage put on the train, and demanded to see "the station agent", says a London paper. Looking around in his excitement for some one in authority, Jonathan's eye caught the gold facings of the general's uniform, and, marching up to him, he tapped him smartly on the shoulder, saying: "Look here, old chap. I want my baggage labeled for the Kingsbridge, and here is a train leaving the station, and the porter refuses to put it aboard." "Well," answered the general, "what have I to do with it?" "Haven't you?" returned the Yankee, growing more and more indignant, "I'll be hanged if you haven't. I'll let you see you can't be wasting your time talking to women while there's work to be done."

The Schenkfelders, of Pennsylvania, Religiously Observe Theft 16th Anniversary A unique celebration, whose observance cannot be duplicated in the world, took place recently in the little Schwenkfelder meeting house at Krausdale, near where Berks, Lehigh and Montgomery counties join. The occasion, says a Reading (Pa.) special to the New York Tribune, was the one hundred and sixty-sixth anniversary of the landing of the forefathers of the Schwenkfelders in Philadelphia. The festival was quaint and interesting. All the members of the society were present. In the foremost there were religious services, and a portion of the history of the society was read. At 12 o'clock all were invited to partake of a luncheon, consisting of fresh rye bread, sweet and handsomely printed butter and the choiceest apple butter. Nothing beyond these articles were offered; but these were of the best, and there was enough for all. It is said that the simplicity of the food is intended to call to mind the privation of the forefathers. In the afternoon there were further religious services; then the brethren shook hands and departed. They are almost exclusively a rural people. The speedy dissolution of the Schwenkfelder society has frequently been prophesied, but it continues to live on. Though too small to engage extensively in philanthropic work, it has frequently sent handsome contributions to the missionaries of other denominations. The Schwenkfelders are a little company, but are not on that account unworthy of attention. Though of European origin six little congregations in Pennsylvania are their only settlements in all the world. With a history of more than 300 years, they have hardly more than 400 members. Their natural increase hardly compensates for inevitable losses, and the admission of a member from the outside world is an event of extreme rarity. In this happy community financial distress is almost unknown, for if by some mischance a brother becomes impoverished there is an ancient fund from which his wants are supplied, and if he is found worthy the opportunity is given him for another start in life. To those who regard rapid progress as the only criterion of success such a state of affairs can hardly be intelligible. Here is a religious community, wealthy and liberal, which has never desired to become large and powerful. Rich enough to erect fine churches, its members assemble in plain meeting houses, such as their fathers loved. Closely attached to their ancient observances, they rarely, if ever, indulge in controversy with outsiders. Though many of their young people have connected themselves with larger denominations, the elders continue to treat them kindly. In former days they wore a religious garb closely resembling that of the Quakers, but this has gradually disappeared. The history of this little sect goes back to the days of the protestant reformation. Its founder, Casper Schwenkfeld von Ossing, was born in 1490, and was therefore seven years younger than Martin Luther. As a Silesian nobleman he received in his youth the training which was supposed to be suitable to his station, but in some way he became physically disabled, and afterward devoted his attention to theology. He was deprived of his estates, became a fugitive and died at Ulm, December 10, 1561, where he is said to have been secretly buried in a cellar. His followers were mostly Silesians, dwelling in villages on the slopes of the mountains. Ordinarily they were farmers of the better class, but among them were always a few men of higher intelligence, who secretly conducted their congregational worship. Aided by friendly Hollanders, 40 families at last set sail for America, where they arrived on September 22, 1734. Two days after their arrival in Philadelphia they instituted a festival of thanksgiving, which has ever since been annually celebrated. The earliest leaders of the Schwenkfelder society in America were George Weiss and Balthasar Hoffman. They were good men, but in no way remarkable. Christopher Schultz was called to the pastorate in 1760, and became the actual founder and organizer of the American society. He was a man of extraordinary natural ability. For more than 80 years the chief pastorate was in the hands of members of the Schultz family, who were men of great moral excellence and force of character. Wonders of Forbidden Pale Wonders of Forbidden Palace. After the march of the troops through the Forbidden palace at Peking a party of civilians, including the ladies of the legations and several well-known missionaries, was admitted. Tea was served and then the imperial palaces were inspected. The most remarkable features of the imperial buildings are said to be the exterior gliding and the staircases carved out of single stones with figures of dragons, lions and other ornaments. The bed of the empress is trimmed with solid gold. After the inspection the gates were closed again and no one was permitted to enter the grounds.—Chicago Chronicle. Riven.

HOW WEAK CHILDREN ARE MADE STRONG, VIGOROUS AND WELL LITTLE MARY M'BAY EVERETT HALLOWS Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hallows, of Peckham St., Globe Village, Fall River, Mass, have cause to thank Dr. Greene's Nervura for restoring to health, and probably preserving the life of their little son. Almost from infancy Everett Hallows was troubled with indigestion and nervous troubles, and nothing seemed to help him. Finally Dr. Greene's Nervura was recommended and tried with success. A few bottles were sufficient to effect a cure, and to-day the little one is enjoying the best of health. By the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura the sickly child was transformed into a happy, hearty, robust boy. Dr. Greene's Nervura for the Blood and Nerves Thousands of other children can thank Dr. Greene and his wonderful remedy for the strength and health they enjoy. Children to whom it is given have less sickness, better health, better growth, and longer and more vigorous lives. Parents should realize that it is their duty to give it to every child who is not in perfect health. There are no diseases more dreaded by parents than fits, epilepsy, and St. Vitus' dance. Yet no child would be troubled by them if Dr. Greene's Nervura were given when the first symptoms appear. Charles L. McBay, a highly esteemed police officer, who resides at 14 Myrtle St., New Bedford, Mass., says: "About two years ago my little daughter became run down in health and suffered from St. Vitis' dance. Soon after she was prostrated by rheumatism, which severely affected her low limbs. She had various remedies without obtaining relief, she began taking Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and experienced immediate benefit. She continued its use, and after taking five bottles her rheumatism was practically cured. Her appetite returned, her pains disappeared, she was again able to walk without lameness, her general health was restored, and she was able to attend school and to play like other child. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is the prescription and discovery of the well-known Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th Street, New York City, who is the most successful specialist in curing all forms of nervous and chronic complaints, and he can be consulted in any case, free of charge, personally or by letter.

And. if 50 why the mortgage was incurred. Al sorts of replies have been received t¢ these Inquiries. One of them is from Wiliam MeKiniey, who states that he “is a citizen of Ohio, residing tempo rarily in Washington:" and he state that the house in which he lives “is no! mortgaged.” ‘All of the inquiries of the census of fice supervisors are being eheerfull answered, even those which pry int the affairs of men who borrow money Very many thousands of ladies, how ever, decline to give their ages.

People, as a ruie. have been perfect! willing fo tell whether they own the Rounes in which they live, or whethe they are teuants, or burdened wit! mortgages. This information when ob | 4, 1 ype ee ‘ i ee tained enables the census office statin- ticians to ascertain how many people own and occupy their houses and farms; how many are in debt for their homes, and to what amount. Just why this sort of information is collected does not appear on the surface, but it may prove to be of general juterest and of national valde. Some writers on social economy e:alm that indebtedness on home or farm property is due to the poverty of the people, and that In spite of rich soil, and apparent promperity, peaple are growing poorer instead of richer, On the other hand, St is claimed by emi- nent people, like Senator Pettigrew. tbat debt is an indication of prosperity and that people borrow in order to en: large their business. In the absence of detailed facts one cf these arguments Ig as good as another. In the countries Of the old world no effort has been made to ascertain the causes of incebt edness.

Answers which have been received are usualy perfunctory, but some of them are unique.

It will ther be seen that now, as formerly, the value of money is ax expressed by Cor lyle: “Whoever has sixpence is sov. ereign over all men—to the extent of that sixpence; commands cooks tc feed him, philosophers to teach him Kings to' mount guard over him—te the extent of that sixpence.” Almost 2,000 years ago Cicero knew, and wrote, that “economy is of itsel @ great revenue.” But until this day there be few who realize that no mat can be rich whose expenditures. ex eced his means, and no man ix poor whore incomings exceed his outgoings Even that wonderful humanitarian philoxopner,AVilkins Micawber, under ‘stood this precept of political econ: omy. ‘The value of money was versely and sagely as well ax concisely expressed dy Shakespeare: “The learned pate ducks to the goiden fool.” Money wil buy everything—except love.

He died soon after reaching the white cot in the “hopeless” ward, and hin body was duly laid away to await the coming of his relatives Fifteen days passed, and nobody came to call for the corpse of Patrick Mo- Andrews. ‘Then, es ix the custom, the body waa given to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and. ar- rangements were planned for a dis section, ‘The lecture for which the dead Mc Andrews was to furnish material called for the head, chent and arms of an adult male, Attendants in charge of the “subjects” severed McAndrews! body at the waist, and took the up- per half to the dissecting-room. Here the ghastly section of the dead bu manity was laid upon the table, cor. ered with a sheet, and left to await the coming of the class and lecturer ‘The lower half of the body was im- mediately burned, and in two hours’ time all that remained of MeAndrews was the half upon the table, walting for the nealpel, Just as the lecture was beginning word was brought that McAndrews’ relatives had appeared and claimed the body. An understaker from State and Forty-first street was already at the door, and preparations were be- ing made for the funeral at MoAn- drews’ home. No objection was made by the college authorities to the prompt surrender of the body, but » thorough earch failed to locate the lower half of the remains. The at tendant who had burned the missing portion told what he had done, and there was consternation around the college. At this point the ingenious under- taker came to the rescue, “Give me ‘the upper half of the body,” said he “Then get me about 80 pounds of bricks.” The bricks were brought and the lower part of the wofin was filled with them, McAndrews’ upper section was put in piace, and the un- dertaker drove away. A day later McAndrews’ funeral took place with al! propriety, and none but the undertaker and those who helped him at the college knew just what the coffin contained. Out on the West side, however, where stu- dents congregate, the “half man” ir talked about, and much admiration is expressed for the genius of the under. taker.

President Mekinley Warmly Greeted om Mis Way from Canton , ‘te Washingses, Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 8.—President MeKinley’s trip from Canton toward the national capital has been one con- tinuous ovation to the twice-elected head of the nation. At every stop there have been great outpourings of the people, business hax been sus pended, and many factories along the Mine have added their thousands of workers—men and women—to those who have joined in enthusiastic greet- ings, ‘The president hax appeared at each stop, shaking hands trom the rear platform, and making short speeches at the most Important towns, Mra. MeKinley bay received her share of the popular tribute, men and wom- en struggling to present her with flowers, Patriotism, the flag and the volunteers’ uniform have figured er- erywhere, and the trip has been in the nature of a triumphal journey to the capital, The start from Canton was made at 1:35 p. m., amid the boom of can- non, the sereech of steam whistles and the clamorous well-wishes of the presi- dent's townspeople. Mr. and Mrs. Me- Kinley occupied the private car Olympia at the rear of the train, giy- ing @ broad platform, from which the president could greet the crowds and address them. ‘The presidential car had been beautifully decorated with- in, yellow chrysanthemums bound in ribbons of red, white and blue, giving @ wealth of color, The train arrange- ments were in charge of Mr, T. F. Stone. ‘The president made his first speech of the day when the train arrived at Alliance. The town had turned out en masse to meet him with bands and banners, Workmen from the potteries at Sebring came in their aprons, bear ing transparencies showing their ma- Jorities, The crowd surged up to the train, to the imminent danger of those massed in front. When the pres- Kent appeared, there were deafening cheers. to which he bowed and smiled acknowledgment. In the big factory town of Salem the amoke of many stacks hung over the city and the myriad of workingmen and working women gave the place the aspect of a hive of industry, A vast ‘concourse of people lined the tracks. The tops of freight cars were used as points of vantage, Little girls bore big American flags. The drum corps was uniformed ax United States volun. teers, A huge broom draped with yel- low ribbons was carried at the head of the procession. Tadies struggled to throw bunches of chrysanthemums to- ward Mra. McKinley. The screech of the factory whistles was deafening. At Leetonia and Columbiana there were like outbursts, crowds besieging the president's car. No speeches were made, but the president reached down and shook many a grimy hand. A dria- aling rain began to fall, but this did not deter big crowds froiw turning out at Kast Palestine, Boon Valley, New Galilee and New Brighton. At Roch- exter 3,000 people braved the rain and darkness and gave a flerce welcome to the president duting the momentary ‘stop. Many of the crowd clambered up the rear platform after the train Marted and bung $n watil their turn, came for a handshake, It was pretty dark when the train reached Allegheny, bat a big crowd was in waiting and a delegation headed by Mayor Diehl, of Pittsburgh, and Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny, clam- dered aboard. They were received by the president and warm greetings were exchanged. The president asked as to the results in Penmaylvania and evinced great interest when told that the majority would reach 300,000, He asked also ms to Pennsylvania's con- aressional delegation, and received like satisfactory assurances. ‘There were no formal speeches.
