Patti has two wonderful parrots, one of whom talks all day long, and imitates its mistress' trills and staccati in an amazing fashion, and who (believe me, for I have heard him) can even compose the most elaborate melodies, says a correspondent. The other parrot—Jumbo by name—is an oddity. Patti bought him for $200 in New York, where he was reputed to be the finest talking parrot alive. Once in her possession he became dumb. In vain he tried to coax him to converse. Months went by until one morning the prima donna woke with a bad sore throat. "Send for the doctor," she cried, "for I have to sing tonight!" The doctor duly arrived. As he entered the room the parrot uttered his first and last words. "Oh! doctor," he exclaimed, in a strong Yankee accent, "I'm so sick!" And since that day now several years ago, he has not uttered a word—Baltimore News. Favorite Perfumes. A great many well-known men and women have been fond of different scents, as is historically known, but it is hard to say how far their characters fit in with this new idea. For instance, Nero loved the scent of roses, whether distilled or from the freshly cut flowers; Louis XIV, delighted in the perfume of orange flowers; while Richelieu liked a different scent in each of the rooms; the Empress Josephine moaked her things in musk; and Napoleon is said to have emptied a whole bottle of eau-de-Cologne over his clothes when he was dressed; Victor Hugo rejoiced in wild flowers; Alexander Dumas loved the flowering myrtle, and Charles Dickens adored white lus mine. ONE HAPPY DAME the Get Into Society Through a Chap ture Hagar. There is one Murray Hill dame, at least, who "returned with joy" after her summer's campaign, "bringing her sheaves with her" in the shape of a long-coveed recognition by the set to which she for many years had aspired to belong, into which she had althero failed to effect an entree, although she was pretty and attractive, and rich and of a parentage rather better on the whole than many who had passed her on the social ladder for no apparent reason except that they had succeeded and she had not, says the New York Tribune. Last summer, as usual, she took a house at a fashionable watering-place, and, as usual, she felt rather lonely and "out of it" amid the gay crowds of intimates. One day she said to one of her few friends who belong to the world she seemed so aloof from that she wished that she could break the lee that seemed always to keep her too a distance, and that she could feel her more a part of her social surroundings. "Surely there is no trouble about it if you really want to go into society" exclaimed her friend. "I always thought you didn't care for that sort of thing. There is no possible reason why you should not go where you want to. Of course you must do something for a start. I'll tell you what, you must open your house and grounds for a bazaar for some charity that the leaders of society are interested in. There is nothing better for an entering wedge—it always succeeds," and the result proved the truth of this worldly wisdom. The bazaar was given. All society was interested, and on the tidal wave of her success little Mrs. S—sailed into the haven where she would be. CENTENARIANS' COMPETITION. A Subscription in Their Beshalf Hes Been Opened In Italy. Supported by the newspaper Don Chisciotti, a subscription has been opened, the result of which is to be divided between those who on January 1, 1900, will have seen three centuries—that is to say, those who, having at that time at least 100 years and two days, can boast of having Mived in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Superficial observers may think that for this purpose comparatively little will be required, or that if a large sum be collected it will be divided among very few people. However, this is a mistake, as according to statistics there are now in Italy from 200 to 300 people whose age exceeds 100 years. The historian Flegone, in his books, "Deirabilibus" and "De Longaesiv," records that from a census taken at the time of the Emperor Vespasian it resulted that there were in Italy sixty-five centenarians, but it is enough to open the medical encyclopedia of Oechambre to establish that the number of centenarians has proportionately increased considerably since ancient times, even taking into consideration the augmentation in the population, the diminution of epidemics, the lesser frequency of war, the amelioration of hygienic conditions—in a word, the progress of civilization, which has great, lessened mortality. A Bad Reputation In Bloomsbury, London, was formerly a region known as the Fleid of Forty Footsteps. It was frequented by rough characters, and it is related that a struggle between two brothers 'took place there'. The footprints of the men were indelibly impressed in the soil and no grass would ever grow there. The place was built upon at the beginning of the century. EDITORIAL PICKINGS Sickness has intervened again and we are forced to make apologies this week for the appearance of our paper. The entire work being done by two young ladies of only a short time at the cases. Our reliable old composer Mr. Jno. J. Glass upon whom disease has fastened its clutches is again at the hospital and until more efficient and thoroughly competent help is secured we will be compelled to leave out much and suffer the consequences. NOW The now is the connecting link be- tween the two eternities of the past and the future. It is at our command and naught else is. The past gives us lessons for life, but itself is gone forever. The future is hastening to us, but only as for our use when it becomes present time. We make the past by our use of the preset and therefore, the present hour is the only time offered to us for faith, repentance and salvation Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation." This is imperative. To morrow is not ours to use as we may then choose when it comes, for the we will make of it, day, present. If we postpone faith and the acceptance of Christ to day, that, so far as in our power, determines that we will do so to morrow.—The United Presbyterian. --- The only difference we can see be between the professed anarchist and advocates of lynch law consists in this, the anarchist purposes to destroy gover-ment whereas the lynch proposes to render gover mment abortive - it is six of one to a half -dezen of the other. --- Let Congress pass a law making Anarchy an lynch law treason, punisable by banishment to some Island which the government should purchase, and let these people live there under their own rule until they exterminate themselves THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. We sometimes think Negroes misunderstand the biblical commendation which he often quotes as his own personal hope or hears quoted as a dii promis "—Well done, thou good and faithful servant: to it." We expect his misconception of the well known text because so many Negroes who use it as a favorite question, do things so badly that they "close out" as the slang goes—here on earth in about all they under take. We further suspect that this same Negro lays too much stress upon the word "servant" in the text, for in the greater part of his well—doing he does not try to get away from the conditions of dependence to which his parents were bound, shiftless, untidy and botany" some Negroes are in the pursuit of any work in their hands. These shiftless workmen and tradesmen have been the cause of great losses to the race. They used to cater to the patrons, but white men have run them out of competition. If a colored man shop or place of business is not just as neat, orderly and pleasant and just as prompt in service as a similar place run by a white man, it is only a matter of time when the colored man will lose his trade. A rickety horse and wagon for hire upon the street cannot bring a colored man as much trade as a white man will get with a trimmer and stouter outfit. A neat and competent colored chet is able to get a job almost as easy as white cheft, and sometimes he is preferred, but an untidy and eareless colored cook can seldom cook for anybody but his own people. So in many trades and industries the Negro drifts out and down to servility. Neatness, politeness, promptness, and common business intelligence would keep him up and well doing, but neglect and carelessness ruins his prospects. In some parts of the country there are conspicuous except lions to this weakness and in all such successes the successful colored man is a pride to the white community as well as the black. -Colorado Statesmen. The following lines from an esteemed contemporary contain volumes of logic and philosophy, and should be graven upon the memory walls of every member of the race and nation: "There are three great truth that the American people ought to have branded upon their breast with a red hot iron; First that education and talents are useless without character. Second, that happiness is attained by limiting our wants rather than satisfying our desires. Third, that the mere possession of wealth does not entitle a man to respectability. Thousands of people have to suffer for the rash and heedless acts of one person. Great achievements have small beginnings, and the big things are accom-pished by doing a little bit at a time and doing that well. The following from the editorial columns of the Southwestern Christian Advocate is both timely and sensible. The sentiments cannot be gainsaid, and deserves to be well wellened and considered. They are in line with the contents of Booker Washington, and all who are open to an acceptance of self-evident truth. We have got to lay a broad, strong foundation in the basic employments of life if we would have any secure part in the civilization of the world. The "Southwestron" says. "On the campus of Tulane University, in this city, there is being erected a magnificent library building of stone. The work is being done by negroes. While noticing these men laying the stones on the corners and arches the thought struc-ok us that our people ought to full use of this opportunity. In the South, the skilled Negro is employed. It is not an exceptional case at all but nearly every building that is being erected Negro labor is employed, white and colored bricklayers, white and colored carpenters, white and colored laborers in all industries, work side by side without friction. The industrial field is inviting. Here is an opportunity that the Negro ought to be quick to seize; here is an open door that he must enter. The acceptance of this vantage ground is not the surrendering of civil and political rights; it is not an argument against any kind of education high or low, but it is common sense for the Negro to prepare himself if for the positions that fortify him for any enslaughter against his rights as a citizen. The industrial field offers an opportunity for the Negro to provide for his family and to educate his children. We need and must have trained preachers, teachers, lawyers, doctors and politicians of the right sort; if, however, the majority of the race does nothing else for the next 35 years but to study the industries, the next generation would be born in better homes, with a substantial bank account and with an even chance in the race, or life." We cannot add to this. A WOMANS JUDGEMENT. It has been said that however much in common a man and women may have in life, however close they grow in affection and in purpose, one remains mas-cine and the other feminine to the last. Try as they will to see things out of the same eyes, things insist on looking unlike to them. The combination of the masculine and the feminine points of view gives a result similar to that produced by the s eroscope You look at a picture through a magnifying glass and you only get two dimensions—length and breadth—but through the s eroscope you get length and breadth and depth, because through the two glasses of the instrument you are looking at a picture taken from points of view separated by the distance between your eyes. One often notices the third dimension in the judgment of a man who can consult freely about his plans and purposes with a sensible wife. He will get from her what no man can give him—namely, the feminine point of view, which modifies, corrects and imparts the third dimension to his own. Men sometimes say that it is useless to take a woman' judgment, because they cannot put before all the facts necessary. Put before a sensible woman on the outline view of the situation and her judgment about it is worth having. If you know all the facts, that is enough. What you want is the sarcoso-pic effect, and the opinio of a well-balanced, sympathetic woman willgive you that. The better she knows you, and the more dearly-she loves you, the wiser her judgment. Talk it over with your wife. - Watchman. Publication Notice. In the District. Court of Wyandotte County Kansas. William McKane, Plaintiff. Addie McKane.

CITIZEN WAY HIS WONDERS TO PERFORM Gounod's Lost Opera Few people are aware that Goundon once, in a moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and, though he afterwards repented of his action, he was quite unable to recall its melodies. Goundon's opera "Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity, he thought better of his resolution. Rare Old Bible Found. A wonderful old Bible has just been discovered in Venice, the fortunea finder being Leo S. Olschki, a well-known antiquarian of Florence. It is in five large volumes, and was printed in Rome in the printing house of Don Pietro Massimo in 1471 and 1472. Soon after it came from the press it was purchased by a patrician family of Venice, and it was in the archives of this family that Olschki discovered it. A Czar's Novel Visiting Card From the Ladies' Home Journal: The Russians tell a story of the late Czar Alexander III, that upon the rare occasions when it was incumbent upon him to pay a call he would take a gold coin bearing his "image and superscription" and twisting it between thumb and finger leave it in lieu of card—the only man in Russia who had strength for the feat. American Bottles the Best American bottles are preferred to all others for the export trade, and especially in warm climates where American and English goods come into close competition. American glass is said to stand tropical climates better than the English, the reason being that it is better annealed. Transvaal Minerals. The Transvaal is the richest country in the world so far as minerals are concerned. In 1877 England annexed the Transvaal, but evacuated it in 1881. In 1848 England conquered and annexed the Orange Free State, but evacuated it six years later. Boer Horses Well Trained The Boer horses are remarkably well-trained animals, and when the Transvalers desire to form an ambush or firing line, their horses are taught to remain stationary as soon as they feel the reins dropped over their necks. Best Heads of Hair. Fair-haired people have the best heads of hair, 140,000 to 160,000 being quite an ordinary crop of hairs on the head of a fair man or woman. Can't Whistle on Sundar The trains are to be forbidden to whistle within the limits of the city of Toronto on Sunday. PIANO TOUCH ON PAPER 1 Device That Has Lately Been Used It Is Simple. Evenness of touch is the elusive quality that a piano student thinks himself fortunate if he can attain in a dozen years of laborious practice, says the Globe-Democrat. One of the reasons for the tediousness of progress in touch-sound is the difficulty of telling by mere sound whether the notes are pressed with absolute equality of force. A device that can be relied upon to give a graphic representation of the tension and pressure of the fingers, in such a form that a student can actually see what he is doing and correct his own errors, may be the means of saving years of hard work to piano players. Such an apparatus has been constructed in France. It is quite simple in construction and consists chiefly of a rubber tube placed under the keyboard united at the extremities by a registering drum, also of rubber. When the notes of the piano are played, the pressure on the tube are played, the pressure on the tube is sent through it into the drum, to which is attached a pen that records its movement on a移动 roll of paper. The wave makes the drum vibrate and the paper is communicated to the pen on the paper. The board on which the tubes adjusted to a screw. When raised, it almost reaches the notes of the piano, and the appliance is then ready for the work of registration. When no music is being played the recording tape shows simply a straight line. The instrument is extremely sensitive, and the peaks seen on the recording tape vary in height according to the degree of force with which a note is struck. In the case of an even shake the peaks show like a long-drawn-out range of miniature mountains, of uniform height and shape, a characterless, sided shake on the contrary, is shown on the paper as a series of weak, irregular and jumbled markings. This instrument is likely to be of great service as an educational agent. Even artists of high attainments can derive much benefit from it since the performance of a piano-forte classic by a great artist can be graphically impressed on the recording scroll and can be afterward followed and studied from beginning to end. This may prove to be as almost as valuable a method of musical tuition as the photograph is found to be in the teaching of language accent and enunciation. --- "Wha* is the chief food of the people of India?" asked a teacher in a London school the other day. "Famine" promptly answered a little girl, who had apparently been reading the papers. DRY CREEK LOCALS. Red Mike's saloon was raided last night and ten gallons of whisky and a caddy of Willow Twist tobacco was stolen. The fact that the Three Leaf Temperance club held a late session last night may furnish Mike a clue. Bill, Feverdrops was released from the city jail this morning on the promise that he would behave himself and help his wife do the washing. Bill is a rattling good fellow when he is sober, but it is hard to catch him that way. The Carrie Nation society held its second meeting in the rear of Bill Ax-maker's hardware store last night. The meeting was opened with prayer and closed sine die. This final action was taken owing to the high price of hatches in Dry Creek. Joe Smith lost a valuable dog Monday. It was thought at first that someone had given the dog poison with malicious intent, but a post-mortem examination disclosed one of Mrs. Smith's breakfast biscuits in the dog's stomach. Joe has our sympathy. The Buzzard gives divine notice right here, once for all, that no more free church notices will be published in these columns unless a ticket to the whole performance accompanies the copy. We are down on begging societies and religious lotteries anyway, and we don't propose to be a willing accomplice to the game unless there is something in it for us. Sam Lander, of Coyote Gulch, was in town yesterday, the first time since he buried his mother. Sam hadn't been here two hours until he was fuller than a bath sponge and he insisted on shooting the ears off of a gentleman from Omaha. Sam was finally chased out of town by the marshal, and as we go to press some of the boys are trying to coax the man from Omaha to come out from under the meeting house. A box of dried up cake from the feasting boards of the Hodges-Blatz wedding reached this office two days after the charming Miss Blatz had thrown herself away by marrying Tom Hodges. If Tom thinks he can buy space in this paper and reinstate himself in our innocent affections by sending us a box of cullings from his table, he's mistaken. He was afraid to invite us to the wedding because he knew we used to be sweet on the girl he film-flammed into marrying him. The bride has the sympathy of the entire community.—Dry Creek Buzzard. STAGE WHISPERS "Tsar Foris," a new play by Count Tolstoi, will soon be staged at Nijni Novgorod. Francis Wilson has in view a plan to revive all his old-time successes next season and this is being discussed now by his managers. Sybil Sanderson is giving a series of concerts at Budapest, after which she will sing at the Wintergarten, Berlin, and then return to Paris. It has been settled that R. D. McLean and Oddett Tyler will be under the management of W. G. Smyth next season, and they intend to make at least two elaborate Shakespearean productions. Sadie Martinot will soon begin a starring tour in "Sapho," under Lou's Nethersole's management, and supported by Olga Nethersole's company. Next season Miss Martinot will star in a new play by Clyde Fitch. James K. Hackett is going to play next season Victor Mape's drama, "Don Caesar's Return," in which Richard Mansfield put in rehearsal last autumn, but subsequently shelved because of his revival cf. "King Henry V." Mrs. H. C. De Mille and Harrie Ford have been at work during the winter on a new play for Richard Mansfield, founded on the life of Rebrandt. Last summer these authors went to Holland in order to study the history and atmosphere of their subject. HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS. Colored tissue paper is better than white for wrapping up laces and ribbons to be laid away. White paper Old-Time Surgery. A grim souvenir of an old-time war was on view in a cutter's window in the east end of London recently. It is an ebony-handled saw, which, according to the inscription on a brass plate attached to the instrument, was used by a surgeon of the British army to amputate the limbs of wounded soldiers at Blenheim, Malplaquet and Ramallies. Banner Illinois Corn Counties Tanner Dumblin of the farm, peaches, are aware of the fact that in the counties of Coles, Douglas and Moutleur, in Illinois, three-fourths of all the broom corn used in the world is produced. The amount used in the whole world is 35,000 tons, of which 27,000 tons are grown in these counties. Too Good a Target. Hitherto the regiments of the Highland Brigade which have worn the kilt have presented an admirable mark for bullets by reason of the dark tartan of which the national costume is made. Orders have been now issued that all Highland corps are in future to wear a khakil apron in front. American Citizen: 4 BY, _ MERICAN CITIZEN PUBLISHING . AND PRINTING Co.

From this you can see ‘there can be plenty of hay mown for winter feoding, and I have had re- liable farmers’ to tell me that their stock will feed on hay alone, and be ready for market in the spring. Upon inquiring about the expense of rasing @ steer, a farmer replied that he did hot consider it would cost any more than $4 or $6 to develop @ three-year- old steer, I truly think Canada offers a fine opening for a young man or a man Who is renting land in Indiana, One hundred and sixty acres of good black land will eost you on.y $10 at the time you enter it, and by plowing and eul- tivating five acres each year for thres years, gives you one hundred and sixty acres of good land for $10. ‘This land can be bought from the railroad com- panies, private corporations or the gov- ernment for $3 to $4 per acre. From a financial standpoint, 1 be- Neve that for a series of years (five) @ young man can make $10 in Canada, whereas he would only make $1 here, and I feel sure that 1 spent more money to get my eighty acre farm in White county, Indiana, cultivated than it would cost me to cultivate eight hundred acres in Canada. ‘This may seem a strong view to take of the matter, but when you take into con- sideration the clearing, ditching, tene- ing and the expensive breaking in of the stumps, and then compare the ex- pense to that of land needing only the breaking, you will conclude that it is not such a wild or exaggerated state- ment as you might at first think, I enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmos- phere, which was bracing and refresh- ing, and the cool nights which made it s0 pleasant for sleep. On making inquiries regarding the winters in this country, I learned that the people never surfer from the cold, as the weather is dry and invigorat- ing, and in a great many places farm- ers and herders allow their stock to Tun outside the year round. One great advantage to the settiers in Western Canada is the free cream- ‘eries established by the government and run exclusively in the interest ‘of the farmer, I visited Thomas Daley, a farmer near Edmonton, Alberta, who showed me oats he had raised, some of which took the first prize at the Paris lx- position last year. ‘The same yielded 120 bushels to the acre in 1899, Yours truly, FRANK FISHER, ‘Mexico, Ind.

In its palmy days, when Quantrell led this intrepid troop ‘of raiders, they num- bered about 276. This was the en- rollment when Lawrence was sacked and burned, in 1863; it was about the high water mark. The lst of real members is based on the enrollment then, though it is not known that an accurate count was ever made, But certain it is that although the band was constantly changing, through ad- ditions, desertions and deaths, it nev- er was greater than 300, and most often it was only a fraction as large, ‘The survivors are grizzled and gray. not a few are decrepit, but all are loyal and undeviating in their love for one another and for their leader, Jong dead. ‘That is why every year 4 few of them gather and talk over old times; that is why at Oak Grove last year, they formed an associativa which still exists and which just re- convened. And that is why they have set unto themselves the task of searching out their companions who are living, compiling an authentic roll and listing the times and places of those who have passed away. ‘The Quantrell’ reunion was held within 300 yards of the spot where the leader, in 1862, received General Greene's order, deciaring himseif and every one of his men outlaws, with a price on every one’s head, death without trial or appeal to be the pen- alty of their capture. At Little Blue church, at the corner of the cross- roads, about three and one-half miles northeast of Blue Springs, this order came, the night of March 20, 1862. It was read to the men the next morning, and all who feared its con- Sequences were told to go. From that date on, Quantrell and his men were brigands, their hand against every man. and every man’s encinat them. MOST ARRESTED AGAIN, ‘Was Harranguing an Anarchist Meeting When Pollce Took Him In. The police of Newton, borough of Queens, New York, have again ar- rested Johann Most, the anarchist, as fa disorderly person. He was address- ing an anarchist meeting in a saloon. ‘They also arrested Christina Freck, [charge of violating the liquor tax law and keeping a disorderly house. Most was gathered in while har- anguing a crowd of 500 people, There was a scramble for the door when the police appeared, but the officers suc~ ceeded in capturing Most, as well as several men whom they elim to be prominent in getting up the meeting. Back of the saloon there Is a large sized dance hall. This is their meet- ing place. From outside it could be heard that the saloon was doing a rushing business, as the cash register bell was constantly jingling. Occa- sionaly a roar of cheers could. be heard coming from the hall. The fact that it might be an anarchist meeting was guessed at by Captain Hardy when his force had assembled, but it was then too late to dare at- tempt to wait for more, and he de- termined to undertake the raid with his small force of five men. ‘The raiders were all in plain clothes and entered the saloon without ques- tion. They were inside the dance hall before their presence was suspected. Most was on the stand at the far end of the hail declaiming loudly. The police did not intend to act imme- diately, but to wait and hear some of the proceedings. ‘They were recog- nized, however, and the ery of warning was raised. ‘The call caused many’ to make a break for the doors and for the wir- dows and there was a lively scene. Most descended from the platfétm where he had been speaking and for a few minutes was lost in the crowd. Captain Hardy kept his eye on the group of men into which Most had been seen to stop. Backed by his men he began working his waf through the crowd. When the police were élose upon Most, some of the group about the leader attempted active resistance, and in an instant the police had drawn thelr sticks. One or two of those about ‘Most went down with blood flowing irom scalp wonnés and others gave way so that Captain Hardy got hoid of Most.

Investigations made My. Police De- teelive Schmunk of Cleveland, Ohio, reveal the startling posstb'lity ‘that a plot to assassinate Prosident McKin- Jey was laid a year or more ago, be- fore he was elected for his second term, and that it may have been Inid ‘in the peaceful precincts of Orange township, where the Czolgosz family lived. A remittance made to the as- sassin by his brother, Waldeck Czol- gosz, about a month ago, led to the investigation that may have’ an in- portant bearing on the case. From the first the Buffalo” police and the secret agents of the federal government have been strong in their ‘belief that there was a plot, although ‘the Cleveland police have been in- ‘clined to doubt the theory. One of ‘the strong elements in the belief of the Buffalo and sceret detectives has been the fact that the handkerchief with which the assarsin concealed the hand in which he held his weapon was a woman's handkerchief.

His brother, Wal- deck, confessed to having sent it to Leon under the name of Frank Sny- der, at West Seneca, N.Y. In his seatch fcr clues Detective Schmunk learned from the neighboring farm- ers that the Czolgosz boys, Leonard and Waldeck, have been readers of socialist papers for several years. John D. Knox, an aged farmer, who lives in the vicinity of the Czolgosz farm, said: “The two boys, the one who shot the president and Waldeck, used to come to my house and talk to me about their socialist papers. ‘They ‘orought their papers to me and tried to get me to read them. ) “Once when they were here during the last presidential campaign they got to talking about President Me- Kinley and one-of them said, ‘If he is elected he’ will be shot before he serves out his term,’ and went on, ‘T’d serve John D. Rockefeller the same way if 1 got a chance’ ‘They talked violence all the time, and I was glad when they went out of the neighbor- hood. “Almost every night there was a crowd from thé city at their house, ‘They used to come to the farm from the electric road, so that we could not see them as we would if they had come by the road. The back of the farm extends to the railroad, and the visitors used to go back and forth that way instead of by way of the road. Sometimes there would be quite a crowd of them.” It is sald that Leon’s father, sister and brothers are going to Buffalo shortly and the police believe when they confront Leon that he will break down and reveal all that is now a mystery in relation to the shooting of the President.

FUNERAL TRAIN EN ROUTE FROM WASHINGTON TO CANTON—A SCENE AT A WAY STATION. THE MARRIAGE OF THE NEW YORK CITY SECTIONAL VIEW OF GREAT MEMORIAL PARADE IN CHICAGO ON DAY OF THE FUNERAL. Out under the whispering oak trees of Westlawn cemetery, in a vine-covered vault, almost buried in a sloping hillside, all that is earthly of William McKinley now rests. About the flower-strewn slopes a picket line of soldiers stands silent in the shadows. Whole Day Given to Grief. All day Thursday muffled drums beat their requiems, brasses walled out the strains of marches of the dead, great men of the nation followed a funeral car in grief and tears. Through solid banks of bareheaded men and weeping women and children, fringed by a wall of soldiers, marching military and civilians passed with the mourners of the distinguished dead. First among those who followed the dead during the journey from the home to the tomb was the man who is now at the head of the government. Mrs. McKinley Nears Collapse. Mrs. McKinley Nears Collapse. Mrs. McKinley was unable to attend the funeral. While the last rites were being said she remained in a room of the family home, dazed, not realizing that death had come to her husband, almost paralyzed mentally. During the morning, at her urgent request, she sat alone for a time beside the coffin as it lay in the south parlor of the house. No one seeks to lift the veil that is drawn over this scene about the bier of the last earthly sleep. The casket was not opened. But she was near the one who ever had cared for and protected her; near the dead for whom grief has burned into the soul of a country the lessons of manliness and beneficence taught by his life. Final Ceremonies Impressive The last ceremonies for the late president were marked with a dignity that struck dumbness to the tens of thousands who watched the funeral column make the journey from the home to the cemetery. From the south parlor of the frame house which had so long been the family home the FUNERAL TRAIN EN ROUTE FROM SCENE AT A V casket was borne to the First Methodist church at Canton, with statesmen, diplomats, great men of nation, representatives of the world, gathered with the surrounding, members of the family. Ministers of five religious denominations said the simple services. Great Throng Joins in Hymn. Great Throng Joins in Hymn. Troops banked the streets about, but the thousands who had gathered near and stood in places for five hours held their ground, catching up the broken strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The silence of calm had come; the silence of supreme excitement had passed. "It was not at him," said the minister of the church, all but hidden from sight by the mountains of blooms and floral pieces that bound in the pulpit and choir loft, "that the fatal shot was fired, but at the heart of our government." Then he added: "In all the coming years men will seek, but will seek in vain, to fathom the enormity and the wickedness of that crime." New President in Tears. These words brought home with crushing force the warning that the last scenes were being enacted. Among those who sat with bowed heads was President Roosevelt. The tears welled into his eyes as he heard the petitions that God might guide his hands aright. Then came the last stage of this journey to the city of the dead. Members of the United States senate, those who sit in the house of representatives, officials and citizens from practically every state in the union, soldiers, military organizations—a column of more than 6,000 men followed the funeral car on this last journey. Path is Carpeted in Flowers. Path is Carpeted in Flowers. The skies were hidden by clouds of gray, but not a drop of rain fell. The path of flagging leading to the iron-gated vault was buried beneath a covering of blooms. This carpet of flowers came as an offering from the school children of Nashville, Tenn. But the men of the war days of forty years ago, with whom the martyred president had marched in his youth, passed up this road before the funeral car approached. They caught up the flowers as they passed, pressing them to their lips. Just ahead of the hearse marched the handful of survivors of the late president's own regiment. They, too, gathered up the blooms as they hung by. Hlooms Taken as Mementos. So it happened that when the men of the army and of the navy carried the black casket within the shadow of the vault the flower carpet had disappeared, its blooms, however, to be guarded for years as memes of this day of sorrow. Just without the entrance to this mansoleum stood the new president of the United States. The coffin rested on supports only a hand's reach from him. Then the members of the cabinet formed an open line with him, and members of the family—all save the lone woman who was in the home under the close watch of Dr. Rixey—gathered near. "Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust," came the benediction from the lips of the venerable Bishop Joyce. The roar of the cannon echoed from the hilltop just above. It came as a mighty "amen." Again the white-haired minister spoke. Again came the crashing roar of the salute, its reverberations beating on and on over the hills about the city. "Taps" Sounded by' Bugler "Taps" Sounded by Bugler. "Taps," the saddest call the bugle language of the army knows, came from eight bugles. The last notes were held until the breath of the wind seemed to rob them of life. Away down the broad street, two miles away, the marching columns were still coming. The music of the bands, muted, it seemed, by some giant hand, came floating to the group about the vault—"Nearer, My God, to Thee, Neaver to I WASHINGTON TO CANTON—A WAY STATION. "Thee." Once again came the crash from the guns above. Door Is Closed Upon Martyr. Door 15 Closed Upon Martyr. Then the casket was carried within the vault. Five infantrymen marched behind it. A moment passed and the outer doors were closed. The last ceremony was over; the third martyred president of the United States had been committed to God and eternity. Slowly the marching column treaded about the crescent road to the left of the temporary tomb. Then darkness threw its veil over all, the silent guards took their stations, the cemetery gates were closed. Never Mourning More Sincere. That is the bare outline of one of the most imposing and impressive funerals ever seen in the United States. To fill in all its details would take pages, while to convey an adequate idea of the feature of it all which was most conspicuous—the depth and silence of the grief displayed—is beyond words. In the respect it was the scenes of Wednesday enacted over again with increased intensity. All along through the great black line of people that stretched from the McKinley home to the cemetery—quite two miles—were men and women weeping as though their dearest friend was being home to the grave. Every Eye Dim With Tears. About the tomb itself the outburst of grief was still more striking. As the casket was borne into the vault there was not a member of the cabinet who was not visibly affected, while several were in tears, with their handkerchiefs to their eyes. Secretary Root, although controlling himself to some degree of outward calm, was deeply moved, while President Roosevelt repeatedly pressed his handkerchief to his eyes. Scenes at the Church. Scenes at the Church. It was 1:50 o'clock when the procession reached the stately stone edi- FUNERAL CORTEGE NEARING THE CAPITOL AT WASHINGTON. SAILORS AND SOLDIERS, BEARING THE CASKET fice where the funeral services were to be held. At the church entrance were drawn up deep files of soldiers, with bayonets advanced, keeping a clear area for the advancing casket and the long train of mourners. The hearse halted while President Roosevelt and members of the cabinet aighted. Again they grouped themselves at either side of the entrance, and with uncovered heads awaited the passing of the casket. Then the flower-coverea coffin was brought from the hearse and as it passed within the black-draped entrance the president and his cabinet followed within the edifice. Members of Congress Enter. At the rear of each of the four aisles stood a soldier at attention, cap in hand, musket held straight in front. The members of the senate entered. At FUNERAL CORTEGE NEARING THE the head walked Senator Allison of Iowa. Then came Penrose and Cockrell, Scott, Burrows of Michigan, Tilman and Mason of Illinois. Next the members of the house filed in. They numbered almost 150. Speaker Henderson at the head. Louder came the mourn of the band, and outside the troops had formed a phalanx of sabers and bayonets. Then, under the black shrouded door, came the casket. Under Arch of Sabers. The black coffin had passed under an arch of drawn sabers as it was carried up the steps. Lieutenant General Miles and the men of the army and Rear Admiral Farquhar and the men of the navy held their positions. Covered with a great American flag, bearing only sprays of immortelles and roses tendered by the Legation of honor, the casket was slowly brought to the front, supported on the shoulders of the blue jackets and the soldiers. At the foot of the mountain of flowers marking the altar and the choir loft lay the bier shrouded, too, in the national colors and in black. On this the casket was placed under the quivering folds of the starry banner, with the lights shedding their effulgence from above, the fragrance of the flowers hovering about and the music of Beethoven's grand funeral march pulsing from the organ, the body bearers gently lowered the flag-draped and flower-adorned coffin to its support. All Rise as Coffin Passes. Then the generals took their places in the first seat to the right of the central tisle. The rear admirals crossed and took the first pew to the left. Every one within the church had risen as the casket was brought in. They remained standing. A moment later and President Roosevelt entered through the same doorway of black. His lips univered slightly as he was SAILORS AND SOLDIERS escorted to the pew directly behind General Miles. Behind him came Secretaries Hitchcock and Wilson and Postmaster General Smith, who filed into the new pew, and with them went Secretary Cortelyon', the man who had made easy effort that a loyal heart could prompt to save the life which had gone out under the bullet. Members of Family Seated. Then came the members of the family, all being seated to the left of the central aisle. Abner McKinley, brother of the dead president, and his wife walked slowly at the head 'of the black-clad line. He was seated in the CLEVELAND'S TRIBUTE TO MCKINLEY All our people loved their dead President. His kindly nature and lovable traits of character and his amiable consideration for all about him will long be in the minds and hearts of his countrymen. He loved them in return with such patriotism and unselfishness that in this hour of their grief and humiliation he would say to them: "It is God's will; I am content. If there is a lesson in my life or death, let it be taught to those who still live and have the destiny of their country in their keeping." He was obedient and affectionate as a son, patriotic and faithful as a soldier, honest and upright as a citizen, tender and devoted as a husband, and truthful, generous, unselfish, moral, and clean in every relation of life. He never thought any of those things too weak for his manliness. By the memory of our murdered President, let us resolve to cultivate and preserve the qualities that made him great and useful, and let us determine to meet any call of patriotic duty pew directly behind the men of the navy and just across the aisle from President Roosevelt. After Dr. and Mrs. Boer came the venerable Joseph Saxton, uncle of Mrs. McKinley. The great organ had left the funeral march and now the reeds pealed out the strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee." Those who had accompanied the funeral train then were seated. Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks came first, followed by Controller Charles Gates Dawes. Senator Hanna followed. He looked worn and leaned on his cane. Mrs. Hanna accompanied him. Then the black-glowed ushers seated the other members of the party.

MANCHESTER'S SERMON Delivered at the McKinley Funeral in Canton. A SWEET AND TENDER STORY. McKinley's Devolution to His Invalid Wife —How the Dead Statesman Became a Christian—The World's Grief Over Our Nation's Loss. The following is the full text of the sermon of Dr. C. E. Manchester at the McKinley funeral in Cauton Thursday. Our President is dead. "The silvery cord is loosed, the golden bowl is broken, the pitcher is broken at the fountain, the wheel broken at the cistern, the mourners go about the streets." "One voice is heard—a wall of sorrow from all the land, the pitcher is broken at the high places. How can the mighty fallen! I am distressed for thee, my brother, Very pleasant hast thou been unto me." Our President is dead. We can hardly believe it. We had hoped and prayed, we had prayed and realized our prayers answered, when the emotion of joy was changed to one of grave apprehension. Still we waited, for we said, "If may that God will be gracious and merciful unto us." It will spare the life of one so well beloved and so much needed. Thus, alternating between hope and fear, the weary hours passed on. Then came the tidings of a great victory. We prayed and prayer to hold its object to the earth. We seemed to hear the faintly muttered words: "Good-bye all, good-bye. REV. DR. C. E. MANCHESTER. It's God's way. His will be done." And then, "Nearer, my God, to thee." 50. nestling nearer to his God, he passed out into unconsciousness, skirted the dark shores of the sea of death for a time, and then passed on to be at rest. His great heart had ceased to beat. Our hearts are heavy with sorrow. "A voice is heard on earth of kinfolk weeping. The bess on one they love; But he has gone where the redeemed are keeping A festival above. "The mourners throng the ways and from the steeple The funeral bells toll slow; But on the golden streets the holy people Are passing to and fro. "And saying as they meet, 'Rejoice, another Long waited for is come The Savior's heart is glad, a younger brother Has reached the Father's home." The cause of this universal mourning is to be found in the man himself. The inspired penman's picture of Jonathan, likening him unto the "Benny of Isleham," is the most appropriately employed than in chanting the lament of our fallen chiefstain. It does no violence to human speech, nor is it fulsome eulogy to speak thus of him, for who that has seen his stately bearing, his grace and demeanor, his kindness of aspect but gives assent to this description of him? Loved by All Who Knew Him. It was characteristic of our beloved President that men met him only to love him. They might, indeed, differ with him, but in the presence of such dignity of character and grace of manner none could be more admired. He was a man dressed in him, believed in him. It was said of Lincoln that probably no man shakes the days of Washington was ever so deeply embedded and enshrined in the heart of the nation. McKinley in a larger sense. Industrial and social conditions are such that he was, even more than his predecessors, a man of great importance. Scene was enacted in this church last Sunday night. The services had closed. The worshippers were gone to their homes. Only a few lingered to discuss the sadness of the war. Three men of a foreign race and unfamiliar tongue, and clad in working garb, entered the room. They approached the altar, kneeling before it and before the door. They were in prayer, while tears furrowed their cheeks. They may have been thinking of their own King Humbert and of his untimely death. Their emotion was eloquent. They were testimony to their appreciation of manly friendship and of honest worth. Soul Clean and Hands Unspilt Soul Clean and Hands Unsullied. It is a glorious thing to be able to say this presence, with our illustrious dead be the best confidence of his countrymen. Not for personal gain or pre-eminence would he mar the beauty of his soul. He kept it in his heart and his hands were unsullied by bribes. "His eyes looked right on, and his eyes looked straight before him." He was sincere, plain and honest, just benevolent. And with his Freundes he believed those who believed in him, but measured up to every duty and met every responsibility in life grandly and unflinching. And with his Freundes he humble and honest; he was as gallant a knight as ever rode the lists for his lady love in the days when knighthood was in flower. It is but a few weeks since the nation looked on with tear-dimmed eyes. Some of the abuses of reading? These: 1. Hurried reading without concentration. 2. Reading for mere entertainment without reflection. 2. Reading when we ought to be doing some other thing. Corner Loves Fine Horses Governor Geer of Oregon is a lover of fine horses. He has given a great deal of time to this fad and is now said to be the best judge of horses in the state. The determination of Japan to become in every sense a modern nation is in no line of development made more plain than in the matter of shipyards. The Tokyo shipyard, covering fully sixty acres, is reported as employing 3,000 men, who have all the latest machinery, including pneumatic riveters, and six steamers of 180,000 tons are on the stocks, two of them for the Nippin Yusen Kalisha. The fact that the works are equipped with electricity is a further indication of the progressive spirit now ruling. as it saw with what tender conjugal devotion he sat at the bedside of his beloved wife, when all feared that a 'atal illness was upon her. No public clamor that he might show himself to the populace, no demand of money, no threat of the lover from the bedside of his wife. He watched and waited while we all prayed—and she lived. Tender Story of His Love. Tender story of his love. This sweet and endearing all the word that the world knows that his whole life had run in this one groove of love. It was a strong arm that she leaned upon and it never failed her. Her smile was more to him than the plausibility of the multitude and of her love. She must wait. After receiving the fatal wound his first thought was that the terrible news might be broken gently to her. May God in this deep hour of sorrow comfort her. May his grace be greater than her. May her God, another beauty in the character of our President, that was a chaplet of grace about his neck, was that he was a Christian. In the broadest, noblest sense of the word of God, he was strong and unwavering. It held him steady in many a storm where others were driven before the wind and tossed. He believed in the fatherhood of God and in his sovereignty. His faith in the God he had no patience with any other theme of pulpit discourse. "Christ and him crucified" was to his mind the only man for the world's disorders. He believed it to be the supreme duty of the word. He said: "We do not look for great business-men in the pulpit, but for great preachers." Ever a True Christian. It is well known that his godly mother had hoped for him that he would become a minister of the gospel, and that she believed it to be the highest vocation in life. It was not, however, his mother's belief it to be the highest vocation in life. He gained in early life a personal knowledge of Jesus which guided him in the performance of greater duties and vaster than have been the lot of any other American President. He said at one time, "I would not discharge the daily duties of his life but for the fact that he had faith in God. William McKinley believed in prayer, in the beauty of it, in the beauty of his life, in the familiar to him, and his public addresses not infrequently evince the fact. It was perfectly consistent with his life-long convictions and his personal experiences that he should say as the first critical statement that he proclaimed, "The Kingdom come; thy will be done," and that he should declare at the last, "It is God's way; his will be done." He lived grandly; it was fitting that he should die grandly. And now he lived quietly, and calmed him we find that in his supreme moment he was still a conqueror. Lessons from the Sad Event. Sadness of the Home-Coming. He has, indeed, returned to us, but how? Borne to the strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and placed where he first begin life's struggle, that the people might look and weep over so sad a home and so many people. How vast the procession. The nation rose and stood with uncovered head. The people of the land are chief mourners. The nations of the earth weep with them, the other nations of the earth honor them in the heat of public address, but in the calm moments of mature reflection, what other man ever had such high honors be given to him? What pagenat has equaled this that we look upon tonight? We gave him to the nation only a little more than four years ago. He went out with the light of the sun and the sunset and set, and the purpose to complete it. We take him back a mighty conqueror. "The church yard where his children rest, the quiet spot that suits him best; There shall his grave be made, And there his bones be laid. And there his countrymen ball come, And there his pity dumb, And strangers far and near, For many and many a year; For many a year and many an age, While history on her simple page Of that paternal soul."

Come from Northern Europe to Bale Sugar Beets. Mr. C. L. Seagraves, passenger agent of the Santa Fe, has returned from the sugar beet district of Colorado and completed arrangements to locate two hundred families from northern the, the first fifty families to locate near Holly, about October 20. Mr. Seagraves said: "The leader of the colony is an expert agriculturist, and has visited and carefully investigated all sections of the United States, and pronounced the Arkansas valley the most promising of any section visited, on account of the superb climate, rich soil and the most perfect irrigation system in the country, backed by a reservoir supply with sufficient water to irrigate all the lands for two years without a drop of rain, thus insuring the farmers against failure of crops. After the first movement the balance will follow as fast as homes can be provided for them." Mr. Seagraves advises that the farmers in the valley are very prosperous, and as that section will be densely populated and brought up to a high standard of cultivation, it will in five or six years become the richest and most prosperous community in the country. He says: "Sugar beets are a very profitable crop for the farmer and the only drawback is the laborious work in the thinning season which lasts about two weeks. This feature, however, is being overcome by labor brought into the valley from New Mexico, who contract to thin beets at so much per acre. "In the vicinity of Rocky Ford, where the land has been cultivated extensively, it is possible under only fair conditions to raise twenty tons of beets to the acre, while thrifty and industrious farmers grow from twenty-five to thirty tons to the acre, and in some instances as high as thirty-five tons. "The price of beets is determined according to their sugar content, the average being about $5 per ton. The cost of growing beets, including all labor, seed, as well as harvesting the crop in the fall is about $25 per acre, leaving the farmer $75 or more profit an acre for his beet crop. "The Arkansas valley of Colorado is considered the ideal sugar beet country, as they grow more tons to the acre and contain a larger percentage of sugar than beets grown anywhere in the world. The Rocky Ford factory is now rearranging some of its machinery, the beets being so rich they will not submit to the usual methods employed at the other factories. "Cantaloupes are also a very profitable crop, and many growers estimate they will pay $100 an acre net. I saw two and one-half acres near Rocky Ford that yielded the grower one thousand dollars. This was on rented land of which the owner received one third of the crop. This may be rather an exceptional case, but it proves what intensive farming will do." "Alfalfa, as well as small grains, to well and are profitable crops to grow. Vegetables of all kinds, poultry and dairy products command good prices, and a ready market in Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and the mining camps. "Lands in the vicinity of Rocky Ford, before the erection of the sugar factory, that sold for thirty-five, forty and fifty dollars an acre, are worth today from one hundred and fifty to two hundred¹ and fifty dollars an acre. The question is what is land worth that will net over and above all expenses from seventy-five to one hundred and twenty-five dollars an acre!" "Lands in the Holly district and the very choicest in the valley and under a most perfect system of irrigation, with a never failing supply of water, a perpetual water right going with the land is selling at thirty-five dollars per acre, with ten per cent down and the balance in seven years at six per cent. The company will also build houses, barns, etc., on which they require fifty per cent down and the balance in seven years at six per cent. "The Dunkards and Mennonites are now colonizing large tracts of lands, while other settlers are pouring into the valley from all over the country. the valley from all over the country-- Topeka State Journal, Sept. 2, 1901. Lavender Time: in Old England. Lavender Time in Old England The very first of the lavender spikes are being hawked about the streets, and the quaintly pretty air of the lav- ender song. "Who'll buy my prey lavender. Sixteen spikes for a peny" will be the most popular street song for the next few weeks, says a London newspaper. "When the lavender comes the season is over," we are told, and those who have dined and danced and gambolled through the last three months will be well satisfied that this should be so, now the "dog days" are upon us.
