A NEGRO CAPTAIN A colored man has been made captain of the British Seconer, Sarah E. Douglas, He is Captain Robert G. Sawyer, of Savannah Sound, Eleuth era Island, Bahama Capt. Sawyer was born in the West Indies. In boyhood he followed the life most colored boys in the Bahamas, which consists of diving for conch shells, sponges and fishes, and owing to the wartime phy of the country, they spend the bus part of their lives in small boats, crossing the rivers, bays and sounds which honey comb the Island. Eighteen year ago the captain went to see a deep seas vessel. He educated himself and mastered mathematics so that he could solve the tricute problems of navigation. He then became a navigator and was seen there in the West Indies schooners Brothers and Sarah E. Douglas as navigator of these vessels between the West Indies and Baltim are in the pineapple season. When the Douglass entered the pine apple trade this season Capt. Saywer was appointed master by J. W. Clumer, of Nassau, who owns the vessel Capt. Fawyer is a man of powerful physique He is about 6 feet 5 inches tall and weigh 214 pounds, every ounce of which seem to be muscle and bone. He is built like a Roman wrestler, speaks English fluently and has excellent manners. He has dark brown skin. He wears a naty blu watching suit and cap RACE NOTES. The white man who blacked his face a few weeks ago and appeared as a negro, was caught near Mobile'Ala. He had robbed and outraged a white family, and if he had not been caught this henious crime would have been laid at the door if some Negro, and the usual course would have been persued in the form of burning or a lynching The report of the Knights of Pythias for the term just closed,shows a wonderful growth for that order 235 lodges was instituted and the membership was inceased 11,887.

The only "witness" in a case of assay and battery, tried the other day in Milwaukee, was William Brunner, 70 year old and blind. The "witness" was daily sworn and his testimony in German, was so satisfactory that the defendant was convicted. Publication Notice. In the District Court of Wyandotte County Kansas. William H. Addie McKane. Defendant. To the above named defendant, you are here-by notified that you have been sued by the above named plaintiff in the above named court, and that unless you appear and answer on or before the second day of November A. D. 1901, the petition filed against you will be taken as true, and a judgment rendered against you, the nature of which will be a decree dissolving the bonds of matrimony existing between plaintiff and defendant, and divorcing plaintiff from said defendant, and for cost of this suit. I. F. Bradley Atty. for Plaintiff Nearly all of our failures in life are caused by lack of earnestness. Unless we are trained, from our childhood to be in earnest whether at work or at play, we cannot expect our effort to be crowned with any degree of success. The leaders of each and every enterprise startle, are always chosen from the file of earnest workers. Of course being in earnest does not mean doing thing only when it is pleasant, but it may mean going out all sorts of weather or perhaps we can only succeed by living in positions for which we have no taste, or may be working with people whose ways are not our ways still if we are in earnest the things will not worry us if we are wise. Many young men and women to have to do a great many things they would rather not in order to get through school but by so doing they show that they are in earnest and only a few persons can be found who by word or act, will try to hinder their progress. This earnestness is very commendable, and should be continued by those who are trying hard to make their way in life. There hardly can be found a person who has any escape for the ill men and woman seen in many of the towns. The people are never in earnest about anything that will improve their condition; we should see to it that our boys and girl are kept from places where they will be influenced by these people. Children are footfall enough to live among these who are ways in cariest about what they : OCTOBER 11, 1901. Those Who Serve Patrons at Their Homes Get Larger Ties. The itinerant barber of today who corresponds to the early idea of this personage by going in their homes and not awaiting them in his own or his employer's shop, is by no means a figure of the... in New York, but proppers here still, says the New York Sun. These barbers are working who have acquired a following of their own and find customers enough who want to be shaved at home to insure them a living. They are able with a limited number to get along, as the expense involved is not great. There is, for instance, no rent, and this makes it possible for a barber to succeed with a more limited number of patrons than might otherwise be thought necessary. The number of these men has greatly increased during the past years and they represent the barbers who are fearful of undertaking the responsibility of their own shops and are yet desirous of being more independent than the ordinary employee. The most successful of these barbers are usually more desirably placed than their employers. They have no responsibility and earn a regular income as well as being treated with consideration by their bosses, who are always anxious to keep such men. The itinerant barber who serve their clients at their own homes are able to do this at only a slight advance on the usual amount. Sent out from the shops they receive four times as much as would be asked in them. THE CELL OF NOTABLES. Occupied by Earl Russell, Stead and Edmund H. Yates. In connection with the cell of Halloween jail where Earl Russell served his sentence for bigamy it is said that it was formerly occupied by the English journalist, W. T. Stead, and the novelist, Edmund H. Yates. The affairs in which they were engaged, although they caused a tremendous sensation at the time, are now almost forgotten. Stead, it may be remembered, was largely in the eye of this country about six years ago as the author of a book, "If Christ Should Come to Chicago," that was regarded as so blasphemous the big news companies refused to handle it. In 1884 Stead created a remarkable commotion by alleging that English society was permitted by the most horrible immorality. A body of gentlemen, composed of some of the most eminent in the kingdom, sifted his charges and the result was that new laws were proposed and passed regulating the subject matter of his allegations. In proving them, however, Stead was guilty of a technical violation of the law, and for this he had to undergo prison detention for three months. The offense for which Yates was imprisoned took place in 1874 and consisted of an alleged libel in his newspaper, the World, on the earl of Lonsdale. While not the writer of the article himself he refused to divulge the name of its author and so subjected himself to penalty. A Wonderful Chinese Temple A Wonderful Chinese Temple. A temple to reach which any one has to climb up 6,000 stone steps, is to be found in China, on the top of the holy mountain, Tai-schan, which is about 6,000 feet above Tainganfu, and the distance somewhat over sixteen miles. About a mile north of the city walls is a gate leading to an avenue several miles in length, lined with temples, convents, holy shrines, and thousands of beggars. The real ascent begins at a stone portal at which, according to its inscription, the great Confucius himself halted and turned back 2,000 years ago, not having had the strength to climb the 6,000 stone steps leading to the top. These Tai-schan stairs are by far the highest in the world, for, taking the number of steps in one story of an ordinary dwelling to be twenty, the number of Tai-schan steps equals 300 stories. After climbing the 6,000 steps the visitor passes through the Gate of Heaven and stands on the large plateau at the summit, which is covered with numerous temples and stone monuments. British Cabinet Wages. The annual "wages bill" of the British cabinet is no light sum—at present it nearly reaches £100,000; or, to be exact, it amounts to £93,550. Of the cabinet as at present constituted the best paid is the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, who receives £29,000 a year; the lord chancellor comes next with £10,000, and the Irish lord chancellor's salary is £8,000. Seven ministers—respectively stationed at the foreign, colonial, war, India, treasury and home offices, and the chancellor of the exchequer—are paid £5,000 each, which is the standard salary for a secretary of state; while the first lord of the admiralty is £4,500. The remaining eight members of the cabinet are each given £2,000 per annum. The offices of the Irish chief secretary and of postmaster-general are respectively rated at £4,425 and £2,500. Wiles of a Poacher. The otter, used by Scottish poachers, is one of the most deadly fishing instruments known. On some waters it is far more effective than a net. It may be described as a water-kite, which serves to take out over the water a line bearing fifty or more flies. The otter itself is a floating piece of board, leaded along one edge to keep it upright. The poacher walks along the side of loch or river, letting out the fly-decorated line as he goes. the otter board gradually working out toward the center. An enormous area of water is fished at one time, and numbers of fish are killed. CITIZEN How Petroleum Is Refined. The refining of petroleum is a process of distillation, in which it is separated into several marketable products. There are two methods of distillation, known technically as "in vacuo" and "cracking." In the first the petroleum is distilled in a partial vacuum, and in the second, with superheated steam. This process receives its name from the cracking sound of the steam as it enters the undistilled petroleum. Ideal City Will Not Be Nuts Iustin City Will Not Be Noisy. It is safe to conclude, says the New York Tribune, that the ideal city of the future will be less noisy than the average city of to-day. Street cries of ear-splitting shrillness and all sorts of tumultuous sounds will be moderated by the next generation, if the present municipal rulers do little or nothing to abate a grievous nuisance. New Yorkers are the most patient people ever known. But some day they may break bounds. Thoroughly British. Hicks—"Did you ever see anyone so uncompromisingly English as Perkins?" Wicks—"No, and I never saw anyone with any pretension to style make such a ridiculous breach of good form as he did yesterday. He appeared in full dress at 2 o'clock in the afternoon." Hicks—"That's all right from his standpoint. It was after 6, London time, you know."—Catholic Standard and Times. A Monument for Napoleon Ex-Mayor Walbridge, of St. Louis, spoke on Missouri day at the Buffalo exposition July 2. He gave special attention to the coming celebration in St. Louis of the Louisiana purchase and announced the intention to raise a monument of Missouri granite to Napoleon, who ceded the territory to the United States.—Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle. Salt as a Medicine: Salt is considered one of the most useful medicines. Rheumatic people find great benefit in a glass of cold salt water taken regularly before breakfast. Falling hair is often arrested and a new growth insured by the daily application of strong salt and water, with considerable amount of friction, either with the finger tips or hair brush. Belta and Their Buckles The greater number of belts are shaped, and white calf and patent leather are among the best. The harness buckle is the buckle for these belts. Occasionally there is a buckle that is covered. Some of the belts have buckles on either side of the front and open at one of them. Suede and velvet belts are studded with metal. Become Your Own Master. "There is no fun in working for others when you are able to set up in business on your own account," said Andrew Carnegie in a recent interview. "Always try to become your own master; that is my advice to every young man starting in life. Don't remain a servant all your days if you can help it." E:g Lemonade. Dissolve one cup of sugar in one pint of water, add the juice of four lemons. Beat the yolks of four eggs until light colored and creamy, and then the whites until stiff. Mix them out, add the lemon water and one pint of fine chipped ice. Add more sugar if needed.

Indian Girl to Be Lawyer Wah-ta-wass, the full-blood Indian girl who is preparing to enter Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Mass., is at present employed as a typewriter and stenographer in the office of a Boston lawyer and does her studying for her examinations at night. Diameter of the Earth Although the diameter of the earth has been roughly known for many years, it has only lately been accurately ascertained, after thirty years' labor and a cost of $500,000. It is 7,926 miles at the equator and 7,899 from pole to pole. A Flat 300 Feet High The largest plant in the world is probably the giant sea weed, called by scientists necroticis. This plant often grows to a height of 300 feet. It grows around the South Sea Islands, where the natives use it for rope. Women as Lapidaries. Women in the Philippines, at least in the island of Luzon, are showing wonderful kill as lapidaries and gem-setters. Their taste and workmanship are far in advance of the powers of men. Sea Depths Are Cold Atmospheric sharks say that even at the equator the average temperature of the sea at the depth of a mile is but 4 degrees above freezing point. Integrity Baffles Duplicity: Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity than straightforward and simple integrity In another. LIGHTNING'S ODD CAPERS Unworthy Lover Killed on Grave of True-Hearted Girl. The romantic have found food for contemplation in deaths by sudden strokes of lightning, in which they have conceived that a higher power visited upon the heads of sinful mortals a just punishment for offenses for which the human code had no penalty provided. One of these was where a few years ago a young girl descended from the Indian race, educated at Carlisle, and of refined tastes and lovely disposition fell in love with a young missionary who had gone to her tribe's residence to preach the gospel. The beautiful girl was a member of his congregation and he showed that he reciprocated her love, but it was developed that he considered the trace of Indian blood in her veins a bar to their marriage. The girl killed herself and a few nights afterward there came a severe thunder-storm, at the cessation of which the young minister was missing. Later his dead body was found on the grave of the girl, where he had been struck down by a bolt of lightning. The collectors of the curious stories of the freaks of lightning have preserved the account of the case where what appeared to be a ball of fire was observed rolling along the ground and finally into a shed where several pigs were penned. With comparatively slow and deliberate movements the ball traversed the inclosed rails, skirted the sides of the pen, and was pursuing its so far harmless way along the floor when an overcurious pig concluded to investigate it more closely by rubbing his snout against it. At the touch of the pig's snout the shed on that side flew into small bits and the porcine student of electricity and his half-dozen brothers and sisters were instantly killed. CHANGING A ROSE'S COLOR. Chemists' Scientific Knowledge Brings Climax to His Love & Affairs Climax to His Love Affair. It was a lover who lately discovered this trick. When he was not with his lady love he was studying chemistry and experimenting, and one day recently he found an easy method of changing the natural color of flowers. He was in the habit of presenting his sweetheart with bouquets of beautiful roses which grew in his garden, and a few hours after he made the discovery he took her half a dozen of the choicest white roses and told her that she could learn through them whether he was really in love with her or not. "If you and I are destined for each other," he said, "these white roses will become crimson within five or six hours from now. Gradually but surely they will change color, and you regard the change not only as indication that the flowers are delighted to be worn by you, but also as an infallible sign that happiness is assured to us in the future." Sure enough before the eyes of the wondering maiden the roses changed color and were crimson at sunset that evening. Marvelous indeed the change seemed to her, for how could she know that the roses were originally red and that her lover had simply bleached them white by holding them for some time over a pan filled with smoking sulphur before he handed them to her? At Monte Carlo. The principality of Monaco is surrounded on all sides by the French Department of Alps Maritime, except to the south, where it borders on the sea. Its total area is eight square miles and its present ruler is Prince Albert of Monaco, who succeeded his father in 1899. It is picturesquely situated, and many visitors are attracted by the mildness of its climate and its beauties as a health resort, but the main attraction to the great majority of its visitors is the legalized gambling at the Casino of Monte Carlo. The Casino Company, out of the profits of the gambling has practically to bear the cost of spiritual and temporal government for the Principality, and, in addition $250,000 annually to the Prince for the concession. Last year the company paid $45,000 for grants to bishop, clergy, convents and educational institutions, and $30,000 in gifts to charity. They also paid $100,000 for army, police, law courts and expenses of government. Armored Automebiles The progress of military automobility in Germany is indicated by the fact that the minister of war has later ordered a series of machines which will carry two small Maxim guns, protected by nickel-steel plates. He has also ordered a series of automobile breaks which will be provided with tables. These breaks will be used by the general staff and the officers may thus consult their maps or papers en route, spreading them upon the tables, a series of light vehicles, or voluptuettes, is also to be constructed, to be used on the fireing grounds for ascertaining the results of the cannon shot. In Austria-Hungary, the minister of war is having a series of automobiles constructed. Rusy Little Women. Even the highest class of Japanese women have their household duties to perform, and, no matter how rich the family, Japanese girls are brought up to be able to sew, cook, and attend to their homes. The higher class women never go to market. The market comes to them—that is, the dealers call and offer wares for sale at their customers' doors. Nearly all Japanese women make their own clothes; at all events, even the very richest embroider their garments themselves. They are very economical little dress-makers, and do much planning, cutting, and basting and making over. MERICAN CITIZEN PUBLISHING AND PRINTING CO.

These people are citizens of Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Elmira, Binghamton and the travelers to Boston and Philadelphia have their homes in these cities.

Nothing Personal Intended. When Lady Blessington sent D'Orsay to complain of some delay on the part of her publishers, Otley & Saunders he used very high language. A dignified man in a high, white neckloth, who was listening to him, said: "Count D'Orsay, I would sooner lose Lady Blessington's patronage than submit to such personal abuse." "There was nothing personal," said the count; "if you are Otley, then damn Saunders; if you are Saunders, then damn Otley." Ancient Manuscript Heirlooms. John Beutier of Wapakoneta, Ohio, has manuscripts and books that have been handed down from father to son since the ninth and sixteenth centuries. He has original manuscripts of the code of Justinian the Great, emperor of Rome, written in the latter part of the fifth century. He also has original manuscripts of the annals of C. Corneius Tacitus, the Roman historian, written in Greek, about the middle of the sixth century. --- The Famous "Passion Play." Already arrangements are being made by the tourist agents to conduct parties to Oberammergan this year, the famous "Passion Play" having been fixed to commence on April 24. It will last as usual, till the end of September Since 1633, with only slight remodeling this mystery or miracle performance has been performed by village peasants in the Bavarian highlands every ten years. Emperor William and His Sister The Queen and he Emperor Frederick have succeeded in bringing about a full reconciliation between the Emperor William and his sister the Duchess of Sparta, who spent a few days at Potsdam with the Emperor and Empress before she left Germany the other day on her return to Greece. The Duchess of Sparta was formerly the Emperor's favorite sister; but her sudden and unexcited "conversion" to the Greek church "infinitely exaperated his majesty and he has since been on the coldest terms. No Use for It. Uncle Zebulon, from one of the back townships, was on a visit to his nephew in the big city, and the two had gone to a restaurant for dinner. They had given their order and were waiting for it to be filled, when the younger man, who had been glancing at a paper that lay on the table, said: "By the way, uncle, did you ever have cerebro-spinal meningitis?" "No," replied Uncle Zebulon, after a few moments' mental struggle with the question, "and I don't want any. I'd ruther have frietier and bacon any day." Duty on a Mouse Uncle Sam is a stern stickler for form, and the amount of red tape employed in the custom house is really remarkable. It was demonstrated the other day that not even a tiny mouse can creep into our domains from foreign shores without paying duty, says the Philadelphia Record. A gentleman returning from Europe brought with him a pet white mouse, of which he had grown very fond. His "mouselets" was assessed at 20 per cent, which so chirped its owner that he vigorously protested. The case was appealed, and the board of classification of the board of general appraisers, after mature deliberation in solemn conclave, handed down a decision in which the protest was overruled. --- BEFORE USING PIOTURES TAKEN FROM LIFE.

Grigsby. AUDITORS. S. A. Rutherford, Frank Wilson, Miss E. V. Jones It is asserted by the defender of "trusts" that in almost every instance the formation of a trust has been followed by a decrease in the price of the product. This is true; but in most instances trusts have been formed to check the downward tendency of prices by interfering with the operation of the law of supply and demand. Probably there is no conspicuous instance of lower prices following the organization of a trust, in which the prices to the consumer would not have fallen still lower if the trust had not been formed. The greatest objection to trusts is that they are wrong in principle, in that they interfere with a fundamental law of trade. Only persons under thirty years to age were ready to accept prompt Harvey's great discovery of the circulation of the blood; and just as youth is most apt to respond to the touch of genius so men rare abilities seldom fall of the spirit of perpetual youth. Keeping young is simply keeping abreast with the times we are in. At the recent anniversary in New York City of the founding of Stevens Institute, ex-Mayer Hewitt related this incident: "When I was a student at Columbia, base ball was our only game, and not such a detiment to a college as it is to-day. We lost most of our balls by knocking them over into a yard of a house in Barclay street. One day when we were short and could not get any base balls, I was appointed a committee of one to visit the house and ask for some. A gentleman appeared in answer to my question, and producing a basket containing twenty-five or thirty balls, asked if they were ours. I said that I supposed they were. 'Every one of them has broken a window in my house,' he rejoined. 'You may take them, and when you have all the windows in my museum, to Hoboken.' A Hard Bet to Win. In 1893 three Irishmen agreed to undertake a journey around the earth on foot for a jackpot of $150,000. Each one of the party deposited one-third of this sum in the Bank of Dublin, and it was agreed that whover survived the trip and returned should receive the whole amount. In case all died a Dublin hospital was to become the beneficiary. On Dec. 24, 1895, they started east across Europe and Asia Minor to Egypt, where they took passage for Australia. Their wanderings through the inner wastes of Australia proved the hardest trials of the journey, and the severity of this trip resulted in the death of two of the travelers. The third, Capt. Trevelyan, completed the voyage and won the money. —New York Press. TRADE MARK REGISTERED 1892. U.S.PATENT OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C.

It is made by grinding peanuts very fine and reducing the mass to a paste, from which a large part of the oil is removed. A little salt is then added. Many physicians recognize the nutritious value of this butter. It has all the wholesome qualities of nuts without being so indigestible. Peanut butter is excellent for the poor, too, for it contains quite as much nourishment as ordinary buter and is much less expensive.

A large reservoir, containing 10,- 000,000 gallons of water burst at East Liverpool, ©., and caused great dam- age. No lives were lost, but a score of People had narrow escapes. The money lose will reach probably $160,- ‘The reservoir, which is owned by the city, and which was only com- pleted a few days ago, was filled for the first time. It was taxed. to its utmost capacity when the break oc- curred. A gang of laborers were lay- ing pipes in a ditch near the wall which gave way and miraculously es- caped death. The basin is located 500 feet above the pumping station, ou the highest bill in the city. A number ‘of houses are located on the hillside petween the resérvoir and the city proper. When the wall gave way the water shot down the incline with a mighty roar, the noise made warning the occupants of the endangered houses, who rushed to a place of safety in time to save themselves. A party of children*were playing in the road directly in the path of the torrent, and, though caught by a portion of the rughing water, were rescued before drowned. Dozens of large trees were torn from their roots and carried down the hillside with ligntning rapidity, being jammed with terrific force against the walls of the Harker Pot- tery Company plant. The main build- ing, with several smaller structures, ‘was badly wrecked. Two large kilns and sheds were dashed to pieces and $25,000 worth of ware ruined. ‘The tracks of the Cleveland & Pittsburg railroad were covered with thousands of tons of debris, and tratfic is blocked. ‘The street car line, running parallel with the railroad, suffered severely, and traffic on a half mile of the track has been abandoned.

Lorenzo Snow, fifth president of the Chureh of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, better known as the Mormon chureh, died rather unexpectedly at his private. residence, the historic Bee Hive house, in Salt Lake, after an ilmess that had been serious only a day. The immediate cause of his death was hypostatic congestion, su- perinduced by aggravated bronchitis. Several weeks ago President Snow contracted a cold. He was at his desk, however, attending to business, up to a few days before his death. He was seized with a fit of vomiting, which continued at intervals through- out the day. His physicians were im- mediately called and remained in constant attendance until death came, Leaps to Her Death. ‘The body of Mrs. L. A. Seeley, the aeronaut known as Lillian Lafay, was found in the Illinois river four miles west of La Salle, Ill. Several days ago the woman ascended from one of the principal streets of La Salle in a bal- loon, and her fate, until the finding of the body, was enveloped in the deep- est mystery. The ascension was made at dusk in a brisk wind. The motive of the average play seems to be to make men thirsty between the acts.

It is sup- posed that McKinnie shot and killed his wife and then took poison.
