The American Citizen

THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country Literary The year now so nearly at its close has been quite as notable as any of its recent predecessor in the loss of those who have been conspicuous in their various departments of labor and have made their names widely known. The political world has lost WM. McKinley, murdered during his presidency by the asiassin Czolgosz at the Pan-American exhibition: Benjamin Harrison, the eminent lawyer and ex-president; WM. H. Evart, also a great lawyer and ex-secretary of state: Prince von Hohenlohe, the German ex-chancellor; Francesco Crispi, the ex-premier of Italy; and Li Hung Chang, the smartest and sanest of his time in China. Among the rulers of the world Queen Victoria, of Great Britain, has passed away, likewise the Dowager Empress Frederick, Abdur Rahman Khan, the Ameer of Afghanistan; and Milan, the dissolute ex-king of Servia. The world of literature and the arts has suffered severely. Among the prominent writers who have pssed away are: John Fiske, the historian, Charlotte M. Young; and Sir Walter Besant, novelists; Robert W. Buchanan, the British poet; William Ellery Channing, of the famous Concord group of writers: Maurice Thompson, the story writer and essayist and Ignatius Donnelly, the romanceer and Baconian cipher inventor; Music has lost Verdi, the last of the old school Italian opera composers; Benoit, who was the chief representative of the Flemish school of composition; Sir John Stainer, the organist and author of the best dictionary of terms yet produced: Franz Rummler, the pianist; Alfred Piatti, the cellist; and Audran, the French light opera composer. In art France loses Jean Cazin, one of the greatest painters: England, Kate Greenaway, the delightful illustrator; and the United States, James McD. Hart and Edward Moran, two of the best representatives of the old school of painting. Roosevelt's Negro Policy Roosevelt's Negro Policy. So President Roosevelt has displaced Recorder of Deeds Cheatham with John Dancy, another North Carolinian, and erstwhile collector of the wall at Wilmington, and to dancy's place appointed a white man. This is only another instance of the well-laid scheme of McKinley and Mark Hanna. The appointing of a white man to position held by a colored man is of itself alright. We do not believe that any positions in the gift of the nation should be labeled and tagged "white" or "colored." But all colored men must object to the plan and policy now followed at Washington of eliminating colored office holders from positions within the states and transferring them to Washington. This is the result of petty $10't'c, and no way in keeping with the high principles of the Republican party of yore. Presidskn Roosevelt has shown a remarkable falling off from grace in his short official career. From his past history we have learned to regard him as a man of great independence, and one not to be terrified from plain duty. But his whole southern policy thus far especially with colored men, has been a disappointment. He appointed one Koester of South Carolina head of the internal revenue department of that state, notwithstanding the man, on his own confession is a lyncher, triple died, and steered in the crime. And now the president joins merrily on with supplanting Negroes for white men, though the utter claim no affiliation with his party. This is indeed, a poor policy for a great country like ours whose history for the past 35 years has been quite to the contrary. The president should look for his guidance in these time not to Hanna and his caballistic set, who shape and turn all legislation by a nod from Wall street or some other selfish source, but to Jefferson, who longed for it, and to Lincoln, who inaugurated it, and to Summer, who toiled and labored till brought the country to recognize and concede the Negro every political right enjoyed by others. To the example of these men must Roosevelt turn if he would be at all remembered by a grateful posterity. Cleveland, O.. At to-day's session of the Ohio Federation of Negro Women's Club resolution were adopted condemning the National Federation of Women's club for "insulting Mrs. Judge Ruffin of Boston, one of the most cultured and beautiful women of our race." The resolutions further protest against the "barbarous lynchings" and "obnoxious Jim Crow" car laws of the South, and the convict lease system. "Seeking no favors because of our color," the resolutions continue. "we knock at the bar of justice and ask for an equal chance with those of the white race." Two white men of Laurens, S. C. disguised them selves as negroes and attacked a young white woman in her home. One was shot but the other escaped. All the parties are prominent in Lourens though many crimes have been committed in such disguise there is no record to show. Inter-State WITH MUCH SUCCESS TOWARD THEIR Unusual interest is being manifested by the colored people of this city in the meeting of the negro teachers of the state, coincident with gathering of the state association. Some of the most in intelligent negroes of Missouri were present, and that their effort to advance the interest of their race are appreciated evidenced by the hearty welcome which has been extended to them. Questions certainting not merely to the educational interests of the Missouri negroes but to the future of the whole colored race are being discussed. President Bowen gave utterance to some very sensible views in his address. His manual training has been advanced as he counsell for the race evil and the solution for the race problem. But the fragrant air something more than a good technique before he will be fitted to take its place by the side of the white man in the struggle for existence. As President Dewan expressed it, Booker Washington might have been in the best blacksmith in the world, but he would never have been invited to dine with the President of the United States by virtue of his attri-ents in that direction. It was the mind and the manhood of the man which made the president look beneath the color of his skin and honor him as a man regardless of race distinction. imprisonance is the basis of superstition superstition and prejudice go either. Either begets persecution. In living the remark that when every go can read and write one half of the prejudice will disappear, one spaker titly retorted that when every white can read and write the other tail will disappear. As a retort it contains ough of truth to make it more than y. Education will not eliminate so sequential a thing as race prejudice that is a step in that direction. The must inveterate negro baiters are not the most ignorant people by any means. But there is no doubt that the educa- rical rise of the negro lays the founda- on for that respect and sympathy which one can solve race problems. No Southern man hates Booker Washington, and yet he is not accorded that social recognition upon which professional negroes insist. The negro has much of which to complain, but he has more to make him feel proud and encouraged. Prejudices founded on centuries of growth are not to be eradicated in a few decades. But the honest, indusious, intelligent and sensible negro was never before accorded so full a measure of respect as he enjoys to day. His rising path lies along the line of education and character building, and there was ever more to set his feet in that onward and upward way than now. The 11th Annual Meeting of the Inter- mediate Literary of Kansas and the West, closed in a blaze of glory in this city last friday night after a two day and a two night session. Prof. W. G. Wood of this city, was elected president for the ensu- year, and Leavenworth was decided as the next place of congregation. We are forced to admit that the pro- gram was a well gotten up one, and the operations, papers, duetts, solo and the give a clear insight upon the real cultured negro. The social side, the in- mending of friend, the exchanges of kisses all good. Now since the liter- ary has closed and papers has been stor- daway, each individual having gone to meet the stern realities of life. we ask the true benefits of the Inter-State. Have the 11th meeting been productive of any lasting results? Has the way been made smoother for any struggling negro youth. How many business men can be found in the Inter-state that give employment to five or even three negroes. If the Inter-state association died to morrow, in eleven years of its existence it can by no chance to have accomplished anything that would be a monument over its grave that it could be cherished in memory by all history. Well has it been said, the inter-state needs to get out of the rut. Do something. There would then be no reasons why it should not be called the greatest organization in the country. The first of the year will add another the business enterprise of Nashville, emm., operated by colored men. This new enterprise counts us in the form of a long needed shoe store, to be owned and operated by a number of the colored business men of Nashville. This firm warries a $5,000 stock of first class goods and stock at 412 Cedar St. The firm will style itself as Parker, Bostick & Co. and will employ colored help exclusively. Association The Great Dead of 1901. Negro Club Women Protest. KANSAS CITY, KNSAS, FRIDAY MONING, A NEGRO. MINISTER TO LIBEIA, WITH $4,000 PER ANNUM AND EXPENSES. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, of St. Joseph Mo. has been appointed minister to Liberia. African, to succeed Owen L. W. Smith, of North Carolina. Dr. Crossland is the only colored member of the Republican state central committee of Missouri and came to the president highly recommended and indorsed by chairman Thomas J. Akins and the St. Louis congressman. His name was first put forward for the recorder of deeds of the district of Columbia to succeed Henry C. Cheatham, against whom serious charges were filled. The president filled the place of recorder to day by the appointment of John C. Dancy, who was then collector of customs at Wilmington, N. C. Dr. Crossland has been a resident of St. Joseph 12 years. He has long been regarded the most prominent member of his race in St. Joseph, and always one of the leaders, not only in Missouri, but throughout the middle west. Dr. Crossland is 34 years old. He was born near Charleston, S. C., and is a graduate of three colleges. The post of minister to Liberia pays $4,000 a year and expenses. TALES OF TWO CITIES Mr. Joseph Nichols is yet on the sick list. Miss Letha Drake of Sedalia is making her home in this city. Mrs. Frances Dean Buckner of Topeka was the guest of Mrs. I. F.

Alpinim The ever welcome Williams & Walker combination are to be seen at the Grand Opera all next week beginning Sunday. For the information of many who inquire and who do not seem to read the "CITIZEN." We will repeat that Miss Ollie (Burgoyne) Martin of this city who was with them two seasons ago—is not with them this season, but is with the Louisiana Amazon Guards now playing through Sweden, with much success. Mrs. Mirinda Scott of the Western Hotel who has been ill for several days is now out again. Miss Eden Bush of 347 Minnesota ave. is quite ill this week. A Porter's Bank. Pul man car porters are about to organize a bank, under the direction and supervision of one of their organizations known as the United Investor Co., a bank will be opened in the business district of Chicago as soon as place can be rented for the purpose. For two years the company has been operating two stores—a furnishing store at 2918 State street and a cigar store and factory at 4904 State street. These two business ventures have been successful enough to warrant in the minds of the members of the investment company a branching into the larger field of the banking business. According to the statement given out by the projecors of the movement, the bank will have a capital stock of $15,000. The enire amount has been subscribed by men who are employed in the Pollman car service. In the language of President A H. Edmonds, the color line will not be drawn among the depositors. Said the official of the company recently: "We have formed the bank for the sale purpose of widening our business horizon. In the employ of the Pollman company are hundreds of young colored men who, by reason of natural ability, should have opportunities opened to the in other walks of life. It is my firm belief that the forced man must take a higher rating in the business world before he can cope to commad- the unqualified respect of his white brothers. While our bank will be an institution for colored people, we shall attempt to draw no color line in the matter of depositor. We are simply building for the future. The bank will be the second of the kind to be started in the N. North. We had hopes to be the first, but our brethren in the city of Pailside pha have beaten us and we are oblige to take a good place." Of the 15 million dollars given to colleges also during the first six months of the year, women contributed 6 million dollars. It has been noted that white men give more liberally to education women contributed chiefly to charity and religion. Her beautiful name in Virginia, 1,500 acres of land and an endowment of $700,000, is a recent gift, by will of Mrs. Indians williams for a girl's school. Mrs. Mcormick of Chicago continues her liberal gifts to education and Miss Holen Gould contributed to the same cause most generously. Vassar college has been presented with scholarships as well as the New York university the after receiving a fund for perpetual endowments. Miss Gould is also interested in Young Men's Christian associations, having erected buildings for several Yale college has profited by the generosity of several women. A valuable library, $100,000 to establish a Y. M. C. A. for the scientific school, and money to found a memorial fellowship being among the important gift s. Libraries have prized to the extent of In milil dollars by women's gifts. In the realm of charity, gifts and bequests are recorded aggregating the splendid sum of 10 million dollars. Rarely if ever, has so much money been contributed for veritable purposes as this year. Upon Easter day alone in New York churches, nearly half a million dollars was placed on the aims basins at the different services, Greece church giving $167,500 of this amount. It is safe to say that women gave over half of this near half million dollars. At the triennial convention of the Epokalei church' held at Sun Francisco in October women gave $100,000 for missions, and pledged the further sum of $15,000 for a girl's school in China. One of the most notable gifts for hospitals is that of Mrs. Collis P. Huntington, who has presented her beautiful home in San Francisco to the city, to be covered into a hospital for women. The house cost a quarter of a million dollars and was used only about two months in the year by the Huntingtons. CHARPESTON, S. C.,—This was negro day at the exposition. The colored people held appropriate exercises in celebration of Emancipation day and delivered their building to the exposition authorities. The orator of the day was Thomas E. Miller, president of the South Carolina Colored college and former congressman from this district. He spoke of the accomplishments of his race and urged for the future chiefly frugality and the acquisition of property as the most effective mean of attaining a proper recognition. He emphatically deprecated any efforts to gain social equality, which he declared "is a foolish delusion and neither possible nor de-ible." He also charged his race to maintain friendliness with the Southern whites, and not to be looking North for recognition, which would not be given. Booker T. Washington was not able to attend the celebration. Ralph, N. C., while Governor Avock was signing an order for a special court at Northampton to try Peter Mitchell, a negro for attacking trs. Lucinda Hill, a white woman, a elegram coms saying that citizens had taken Mitchell from the jail at Jacson and lynched him. Women were, as usual, conspicuously gener us with gifts and be quests during 1901, the first year of the new century. The record for charitable education and like purposes reac es approximately the sum of 18 million dollars, or about 1/2 million dollars every month. A Lonely Road. Mr. Roosevelt done more than any other President did do. He ask the Negro to come in and have a chew. Every thing at glance did look in a gloom. As he sit down things began to look bright, And after a while everything was all right. Now he is proud and is way up with the greats. For he has at one time dined with the President of the United States. HERE YOU ARE. The Best Place In Town To Have Your Shoes And Boots Repaired Four Shoes and Boots Repaired. Mr. D. A.

His reputation is so well established that he needs no elaborate introduction. When wanting anything done in his line don't fail to give him a call. Mr Walter Cannon of St. Louis spent the holidays in the city, the guest of Artist O. J. Brooks, whose stay party in his honor was eclipsing. Those upon present were: Dr. S. H. Thompson, O. B.

HARTONA TRADE-MARK.1 BEFORE USING HARTONA AFTER VENUE Part of the Brain That Keeps Names Part of the Brain That Keeps Names An Austrian savant has declared that the human brain contains a "name center." He says that it is the office of this cell to retain names. A striking case which would seem to confirm this theory recently occurred at Cleveland. A brakeman was shot by a conductor, and the former could not remember the names of persons and things, although he could perfectly well describe the functions of all articles exhibited to him. A surgeon probed for the bullet and found it in the exact spot necessary to affect the remembrance of names, according to the Austrian's theory. When the pressure of the brain had been relieved the patient remembered names as well as he had done before his injury, and told the name of his assailant.—Scientific American --- The dock on the Philadelphia city hall is the highest in the world. It has the largest dials. If the dials were out of the way and tracks were laid, two trains could pass each other running through the holes. The glass in the four faces is fastened there by a ton of cement. The glass, if laid on the ground, would make a walk a square long and ten feet wide. The minute hand will finish its year's journey by completing a 110-mile trip on New Year's day. It is expected that this minute hand will travel 110 miles annually for many years to come. The clock is strong, and the minute hand is phospher bronze, and weighs 250 pounds. Oddities in New York Name If you keep your eyes open while riding around the streets of New York on the surface cars you can see many odd combinations of the names of businesses men and their trades, some of which are here given: Ashman, hotel; Burns, coat; Best, groceries; Burnham, real estate; Cook, fish and oysters; Joofin, beer and liquors; Coffey, teas and sugar; Forrester, real estate; Blood, rubbers, boots; Gutter, pawnbroker; Goodrich, carriages;里昂 doctor; Katz, butcher; Love, chemist; McClean, shirts, etc.; Noyes, lawyer; Proudman, diamonds; Pitcher, milk; Rich, perfumery; Silk, dress goods; Swindel, teas and spices; Sickman, fish and clams; Wood, building materials.—New York Herald. Speed of Ocean Liners. In an article in Cassier's Magazine on steam speeds at sea, Mr. Oldham says twenty-five years ago the Atlantic had never been crossed by a screw steamer at a greater rate than fifteen miles an hour, that of the fastest liner, Scotia. Today steamers have reached the speed of twenty-five miles an hour, and, although the power required to propel a steamer varies with the cube The Acoustic Telemeter The British war office, it is reported, is making arranging ments for carrying on a series of elaborate experiments with an apparatus invented by General Gilletta, of the Italian army, called the acoustic telemete, the object of which is the location of the direction from which hostile firing proceeds and the determination of its distance. The Italian government, it is stated, has had a number of the instruments for experimental use in the approaching military maneuvers. follow AFTER USING HARTONA TRADE-MARK DECORATION JANUARY 3 1992. from. Women Not Cowardly. When cowardice is described as a leading feminine attribute somebody makes a huge mistake. Women do the most daring things on record—take chances which would appeal a man. They may jump at the sight or more mention of a harmless mouse, but they court death several times a year. It is one of the traits which makes femirine nature so puzzling. I have known women who were timid to a degree, under ordinary circumstances, come forth as heroes under the pressure of occasion. A woman who shudders at the sight of a small cut from which blood oozes will often exhibit a marvellous courage in a shocking accident. It is beautiful to think that dependence can be placed upon that species of recklessness which leads us into unnecessary trouble. Great Honor For German Crown Prince It is a great honor which the queen of Spain is paying to the young crown prince of Germany by investing him with the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The order is one of the oldest in Europe. It was founded in 1426 by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, to commemorate his good fortune in "cleaning up" a large sum of money in a deal in wool. The uniform of the order is a cloak of scarlet, lined with ermine, and open at the throat to display the golden fleece and the motto of the order, which ornaments the collar. The order belongs of right to all the princes of Spain and Austria. TABLE MONEY. TWOPENCE Englishmen Up in Arms Over Extra Charge in Restaurants. Just now we are in a condition of exasperation about the charge which is exacted in certain restaurants under the name of "table money, twopence." It is impossible to think of politics or the dire subjects in which our more solemn contemporaries are emersed until we open the brain valves and let some of the indignation escape that has been generated by "table money, twopence." Why is such a charge made in a restaurant intended for intelligent people? They won't let you eat your dinner on your lap, as is done at plenices, and the item is, therefore, not optional. Why not get the twopence out of the customer by asking him a penny extra for his soup or twopence more for his steak? "Table money, twopence!" And in the twentieth century! As well might the proprietor stand at the exit of the restaurant with his hat in his hand and beg for farthings. Both proceedings would be equally fair to the customer, but the latter would be a more honest form of begging. "Twopence for table money" is not only inequitable and a petty, mean annoyance to the customer, but unjust to the waiter. Many clients of the restaurant think he gets the twopence, which he doesn't, and then go away without tipping him—London Express. Relics of Menes. Exploration has now revealed relics of Menes, the founder of the Egyptian monarchy, fashioned more than 6,500 years ago. Till quite recently he was regarded as purely mythical. There has also been discovered the forearm of the Queen of Zer, the successor to Menes, still in its wrappings, with four splendid bracelets intact. This brilliant and exquisitely finished group of jewelry is 2,000 years older than the jewelry of Dahshur, the oldest yet known, and had the great advantage of being carefully examined, as it was found and restrucing in exact arrangement. The arm of the Queen had been broken off by the first plunderers and laid in a hole in the wall of the tomb, and there remained neglected by four parties in ancient and modern times, who successively cleared the tomb. A Bulky Bible. Count Otani's representative, who visited China during the campaign, received the Lima scripture, preserved in the Yong-ho-kung at Pekin. "Received" is a euphimistic way of stating the fact. It is the expression used by Japanese papers in describing the manner of the scripture's transfer. But the accounts originally transmitted were not of a character to suggest ordinary giving and taking. They spoke of the Japanese Buddhists as very anxious to remove the celebrated scripture, and General Yamaguchi as refusing to sanction the operation. Rumor then represented the volumes as sufficiently numerous and bulky to load twenty pack horses; so, by whatever process the scripture was secured, its transmisSION to Japan was no small undertaking.—Japan Dally Mail. Irishman Is Sheep King. The sheep king of Australia is Samuel McCaughney, an Irishman, who went to Australia in 1856 with practically nothing. He did not succeed well at first, but started again with a small flock, and from year to year has added to his holdings until now he has more sheep than any other man in the world. He has more acres of land than sheep, and his possessions are in the best parts of Australia. One of his farms, on the Darling downs, is thirty-six miles long and forty miles wide. Altogether he owns more than 1,000,000 acres and leases about 1,000,000 store.

The royalty, it is true, is an obscure scion of a German family, and his name looks more imposing in print than the owner does at breakfast. How- ever, that is @ detail. The fact remains that we are a typical modern house party, sumptuously lodged and fed by @ typical modern millionaire. Every- thing in the house is luxurious. The morning tea is served up on priceless Sevres; we awake to the strains of the bagpipes; the breakfast table is laden with every delicacy; at lunch, when we Join the shooters, a hot meal appeara miraculously on the heather; the finest grouse moor, the best deer forest, and a magnificent salmon river all appear to be at hand.

This was the case of Mr. Eli Wiltshire of Landsdown Terrace, Calna Wis, who during this time suffered the most intense agony. He writes: "I heartily indorse the testimonials which you publish of St. Jacob's Oil as a pain killer, for I have been a sufferer from rheumatism and kindred complaints at different times during the last twenty years. I have been laid prostrate with rheumatic fever six times during that period, therefore I consider I know something about rheumatism. During all of these twenty years I have tried various advertised rheumatic remedies, oils, ointments and embrocations. None of them gave me much relief, but when I tried St. Jacob's Oil I found quite different results. It caused the pain almost immediately and has done for me what all other remedies put together never began to do. "I could give you several cases that have been cured, which have come under my notice, and through my recommendation; also one of toothache, one of faceache, and one of sore throat. "I have recommended St. Jacob's Oil and shall continue to do so by every means in my power, as I consider you deserving of every support." Editors Affole. The Western Canada Press association is to make a transcontinental triary early in 1902. According to itinerary just arranged, they will leave Denver for Los Angeles, Cal., on Jan. 9, via the Santa Fe. The sections of New Mexico and Arizona traversed by the Santa Fe contain material for a great many interesting sketches, both from a traveler's and novelist's view-point, and doubtless Canada readers will hear further from this expedition. Many not Canadian writers will be in the party which will make the side trip from Williams to view the Grand Canyon of Arizona.

HUTCHINSON—(Special) City Marital Nicholson has been telegraphed regarding the identity of Connor and Frank Kinney, the men who it is charged robbed the Missouri Pacific depot at Concordia, and who claim to be from Hutchinson. The men do not belong here, but the officers think it is quite probable that they are members of the gang that robbed the Missouri Pacific depot here last month. Charles Kinney, of Larned, the safeblower who was killed here while attempting the robbery, was supposed to have had a nephew with him. The nephew's name is Kinney. There were three men in the work here and they were making a specialty of depot robbing. Two men escaped and the officers here believe that Frank Kinney and Connor are the ones who were with Charles Kinney in the job here. The nephew of Charles Kinney supposed to have been in the gang is wanted in Missouri for robbing a Frisco depot and there is a reward of $100 offered for him. GAS NEAR PLEASANTON Strong Flow Encountered at a Depth of 200 Feet on Farm of Chas, Meade. PLEASANTON.—(Special.) A strong flow of gas has been struck on the farm of Charles Meade, five miles southeast of Pleasanton. Meade had some drillers at work putting down a well. For several days a loud roaring was heard in the well. About noon the drill struck the gas at about 200 feet and the pressure wag sufficient to raise the drill. It is said to be the strongest flow in this section, outside of the Iola field. Mr. Meade telegraphed for his brother, who is a banker at Lathrop. Mo., to come at once. They expect to buy more land and then put the well down deeper and prospect further. The Pleasanton Gas and Oil Company is taking leases and expects to begin work soon prospecting for gas. It is a strong company and will prospect thoroughly. NEW-FANGLED HARVESTER. Kansas Invents Machine for Cutting and Threshing Grain at One Operation. SALINA—(Special.) A McPherson county man has made application for a patent on a combination harvester and thresher. The California harvester and thresher, which cuts and threshes the wheat at the same time, is said to be very expensive and the McPherson county man's invention is said to be far less expensive and just as satisfactory. The machine is known as a fractional process threshing machine in combination with a harvester. The grain is cut with as little straw as possible and threshed at the same time with no more expense than it would cost to put wheat in stack. The present threshing machines require an immense amount of power on account of the speed of the cylinder. This is done away with in the new process. Shot Himself With a Rifle WELLINGTON—(Special) Hugo Carlander, an eccentric character, committed suicide here by shooting himself in the left breast with a muzzle-loading shotgun, the charge tearing his heart to pieces. He had been ill for some time, and his relatives suspected he had been losing his mind. Carlander was a poet and a song writer of some reputation. Convict Takes French Leave. LEAVENWORTH.—(Special.) Levi Sanders, convict No. 2,471, has escaped from the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth. Sanders was a paroled prisoner and escaped while driving a team about the reservation. He was 25 years old and was sent up from Arkansas to serve one year for a violation of the postal law. He wore the blue parole garb when he escaped. Thrown From His Horse and Killed CHFTOPA.—(Special). George W. Taylor, a well-to-do farmer and stockman, who resided in the territory, south of he, was thrown from his horse and sustained injuries from which he died. The accident happened on the Main street, near the Missouri, Kansas and Texas depot. Mr. Taylor was an old soldier and had been a resident of this vicinity for years. Woman Fails Fitty Feet LEAVENWORTH.—(Special.) While Mrs. Ferguson, weighing 180, was drawing a bucket of water from a well the covering gave way and she was precipitated to the bottom, a depth of fifty feet. The accident was noticed and it required the exertions of six men to bring her to the surface. Upon reaching the top she walked off, seemingly none the worse for her fall and bath in two feet of water. Remarried After 32 Years FORT SCOTT.—(Special). The restoration of D. W. Thurston to competency and his marriage to Mrs. Sarah Macumber of Sheboygan, Mich., has brought to light a romance. They were married forty years ago in Michigan and divorced thirty years ago. Each remarried and each was beaved. A few months ago Thurston was declared insane. Mrs. Maycumber came to him, and her presence is said by the physicians to have restored his mind. They have a son nearly 40 years old. Few Peaches Next Year. TOPEKA.—(Special.) Kansas will be short on peaches next year. At least that is what E. J. Hoiman, the big fruit grower of Leavenworth county says. In an address before the State Horticultural society he declared that the recent cold weather killed almost all the peach buds. When the annual meeting of the horticultural society opened the attendance was large. A business session was held. Fred Wellhouse, the apple king, and Colonel E. C. Little delivered addresses on horticulture. England and Russia. Engliss and Russ. The colossal and perilous undertaking of an armed invasion of India, with a view to conquest, is not part of the plan of any really responsible Russian. But I have no doubt that she is quite ready to use the powerful leverage given her by her ability to seize Herat when she will, to bring pressure to bear upon England in other matters. Therefore I am always ready to hear that troops are gathering in Central Asia, and when I hear that I always begin to scrutinize some other part of the map—Henry Norman, M. P., in Westminster Gazette. Sunshine a superlite No stirup of poppies, no tincture of opium, says one of the medical journals, can compare in sleep-producing power with sunshine. The worst soporific is laudanum and the best is sunshine. Therefore it is easily understood that poor sleepers should pass as many hours in the sunshine as possible. Many women are martyr and do not know it. They shut the sunshine out of their houses, they wear veils, they carry sunshades, they do all that is possible to keep off the subtlet and yet most potent influence which is intended to give them strength and beauty and cheerfulness Forty Years Master of Honors. By the death of John Lawrence, at the advanced age of 94, a notable figure in the English hunting world disappears from the scene. For upwards of forty years he was sole master of the Llangibby hounds. An exceedingly keen sportsman, he began his hunting career as master of the Cwmbran harriers, and later on he hunted both the Llangibby and Chepstow countries until they were again divided in 1866. At the age of 84 Mr. Lawrence was out with his hounds twice a week, and would remain in the saddle throughout a long day's work. School Childre of Mississippi The annual report of the superintendent of education in Mississippi shows the total enrollment of the schools for the year as 387,488 pupils, as against 359,546 for the session of two years ago, an increase of 27,942, and of this increase 15,978 were negro pupils, and 11,964 white pupils. Of the total enrollment 179,142 were whites and 208,346 were blacks, the latter forming about 56 per cent of the total school enrollment. The government census of 1900 credits the negro in Mississippi with forming 55.1 per cent of the total population. Beards for German Navy Emperor William has recently issued an order authorizing officers of the navy to wear beards. This is construed as a hint for all officers to do so, as it often pleases his eccentric majesty to indicate his wishes indirectly in such a manner. Hence every naval officer has put away his razor and allows the hair to grow on his face. The military officers still adhere to the imperial form of mustache.-Correspondent Chicago Record-Herald. Cab Rates in Cities. In New York, Chicago, Washington and other cities it costs $5 for a carriage for a theater party, a dinner or a ball. In Berlin it costs about fifty cents. There is a cab stand every few blocks, the locations being fixed by police regulations. One pays for the distance. LARGER SCHOOL BUILDINGS REQUIRED. Owing to the recent large infux of population into Western Canada it has become absolutely necessary in many parts of Manitoba, Assinibola, Saskatchewan and Alberta to increase the school accommodation. In may places buildings have been erected that are only half-occupied. This is perhaps as good evidence as will be found not only of their satisfaction with their present school system and their confidence that it will remain as it is, but also of their firm belief in the future expansion of the country, in increased immigration, and it further indicates that they have little fear that the well established rate of births in civilized communities will not be maintained there. The free homestead laws and the cheap railway lands offer great inducements, which are opening up the new settlements. Agents of the Government of Canada are actively at work in different portions of the States for the purpose of giving information to possible settlers, and advertisements are now appearing in a large number of papers, giving the names and locations of these agents. The house that Jack built in these times is usually put up by the girl's father. Clothes Get Sick And cannot be ironed into shape again without the introduction of a starch with medicinal properties.

A Philadelphia man suggests that trees planted in public squares and on streets should be of the nut-bearing variety. He believes that a sense of honor would be cultivated in boys, even in the worst neighborhood, if it were explained that the nuts belonged to them, and that they would only damage their own property if they interfered with them before the proper time. Then, when the nuts were ripe, they would be taken from the trees under the direction of the city forestry department and a new festival day be inaugurated, marking their distribution. Silly New York Fashion The unbuttoned glove, turned down over the hand, is having a hard time of it since cold weather set in. Chapped wrists are the result. Of course, no one realizing the prime object of the unfastened glove—to cool the wrists—has so suffered. When warm weather departed such persons promptly turned back their gloves and fastened them, and hence, know nothing personally about the wrist-chapping. But not so the youth and maiden who blindly follow a fashion just because it is a fashion.—New York Evening Sun. A Wonderful Cure Wright City, Mo., Dec. 30.—Medical men are still wondering over the Symes case, which has aroused such a widespread interest in this neighborhood. Mr. Joseph G. Symes had suffered very severely from Inflammatory Rheumatism, enduring pains which were something terrible and which made it altogether impossible for him to work by day or rest or sleep at night. In spite of all treatments he grew worse and his case seemed to defy all the usual remedies. He began a treatment of Dodd's Kidney Pills and very soon noticed a marked improvement, which increased as he kept on till six boxes were used, when he found himself without a trace of pain or ache. He is now able to work all day and sleep all night, and his rapid and complete recovery is regarded by the doctors as little short of a miracle.

He would not admit that he had any intimation that the pardon was forthcoming, but said his joy in the present over his liberty was so complete that he had no desire or time to recount the past or discuss the fu- ture. _ Bartley has been in the state prison four years and six months. in addition to a year in the Douglas county jail while his appeal to the supreme court was pending. His entire shortage is sMeged to have been $550,000, but he was con- vieted on the sing!e count of embezzi- ‘ing $201,000. Bartley was released on a conditional yardon-last spring, but such a stream of protests arose that the pardon was ae and Bartley was teturned to prison, This last pardon being uncon- Aitional cannot he revoked. Governor Savage makes an extended explanation of his reasons for grant- ing-the pardon. Primarily, he says, he Lelieves the ends of justice have been met in the punishment already in- flicted, He thinks the enormity of the crime was not such os to merit the sentence imposed. Further, he finds extenuating cireumstances, Mr. Bart- ley, he says, was the state treasurer at a time when the whole country was undergoing financial depression. Ow- ing to depreciating values many Ne- braska benks were on the verge of ‘collapse and It was with the best in- tentions, and to tide them ovér, the governor urges, that M® Bartley ad- Xanced them state money. ‘Much of this had been lost, for which Bartley stood responsible, though he €id not profit. ‘The governor finally gives the names of several hundred of the most prominent men in the state who had appealed for the pardon, Four thousand others, he says, have made the same request, ‘The governor also refers to the parole granted Bartley last July, which he justifies, It was given, he says, be- cause it was possiblé for the paroled prisoner to make collections of money which would be restored to the state. ‘Ine action of the Republican state con- vention, demanding his return to jprison, while he regarded It unwise, seemed to him mandatory and he can- celed the parole. Further study of the Jcase, the governor says, finally leads him to believe that the ends of justice jare fully met by an unconditional par- TRICKED HIM TO DEATH.

Had Fought off is Approaching End for Two Yeurs—Family nt His Bedside, CAMDEN, N. J.—(Special.) United States Senator Sewell is dead at his home here. He suffered from diabetes, complicated with stomach and heart trouble. Senator Sewell’s illness had extended over a period of two years, but his condition was not considered serious until about a year ago, His constant attention to the duties de- volving upon him in his official ca- ‘pacity resulted in 1889 in a collapse. A trip to Europe was beneficial and he soon recovered sufficiently to re- sume b's duties, Toward the end of the last session of Congress he devel- ‘oped a complication of diseases, and, acting on the advice of his physicians, again visited various health resorts in Europe. Upon his return his ‘con- dition showing no improvement, Sen- ator Sewell went to Asheville, N. C., where he remained two months. He returned to his home about four weeks ago and for a few days a slight im- provement in his condition was noted. Within the past two weeks a succes- sion’ of sinking spells greatly weak- ened him and compelled his physicians to abandon the hope of prolonging his life, When death came the senator's family gathered at his bedside. He had been unconscious for some time before the end. NINETY MILES AN HOUR. Coal Train Runs Away in Pennsylvania, Killing Four of the Tralomen. SCRANTON, PA.—(Special.)

HUDSON, N. Y.—(Special) The con- fession of Harvey Bruce, one of the four young men under arrest for the murder of Peter Hallenbeck, the wealthy farmer, at Greenport, on Christmas eve, caused such a crowd to assemble, whcn the coroner's inquest was resumed, that the coroner heard the testimony of the widow and mother of the murdered man in the private office of the district attorney. The testimony of Mrs. Margaret Hailen- beck, the widow, was to the effect that four men participated in the murder, offsetting the previous belief that one held. a horse near the barn while three others went to the house. Mrs. Hallenbeck declared that she and her husband saw a wagon passing on the highway with two men walking be- hind it. Soon after four men came walking back, wearing coats turned inisde out, They disappeared down the road. She, Hallenbeck and his mother all saw them from the window. Her husband said they must be chicken thieves and watened them till out of sight. Presently there was a knock at the Kitchen door. Her husband went to ojen it and she accompanied him.

Boers Hash a Camp aud it Is Feared the Casualties Were Heavy LONDON.—(Special.) ‘The follow: ing dispatch has been received from Lord Kitchener, dated Johannesburg: “General Rundle reports that the night of December 24, Colonel Fir- man’s camp at Zeefontein, consisting of three companies of yoemanry and two guns, were successfully rushed by a strong commando under DeWet. It is feared that casualties were heavy. ‘Two regiments of light horse are pur- suing the Boers.” Boer resistance has always been very strong in that part of the. Orange River colony which was the scene of General DeWet's Christmas coup. A great quadrangle of blockhouses is Yeing built there, the four points of which are Vereeningnon, Valksrust, Harrismith and Kroonstadt. At the southeast corner of this quad- rangle is a long open space from Beth- lehem to Lindley, where the square of Dlockhouses is still incomplete and here DeWet made his attack. Colonel Firman’s fore probably amounted te 400 men, and the disaster, especially the logs of the guns, the possession of which may enable DeWet successfully to attack the blockhouses, creates a disturbing impression.

WATER IN SIMPLON TUNNEL. Days. - Several we-ks ago there was a fal! in temperature in the Simplon tunnel, now In process of excavation through the Alps. The part of the tunnel reathed was exactly under a mountain lake, and it was wondered if this fact had anything to do with the reduced temperature. The workmen are now in the central portion of the tunnel, about 10,000 feet below the mountain peaks, the usual temperature being abyat 104 degrees Fahrenheit, which, of eourse, is too hot for comfortable working. By means, however, of water sprays, and the most thorough Ventilation the heat is considerably reduced. A few days after the fall in temperature had been observed the workmen struck a vein of water that began to flood the south gallery. ‘The work was stopped and a part of the men had to run at a lively rate to es- cape an uncomfortable wetting. No serious embarrassment resulted, how- ever, for the flood was overcome in a few days. Such delays have not oc- curred as often as it was thought might be the case, They occasion no anxiety for the reason that the work, now more than half completed, is con- siderably ahead of schedule time. As compared with the earlier tunnels cut through the Alps, the rapid prog- ress in the Simpton tunnel is regarded as extraordinary. It is due to the fact that the machinery in use 1s much more effective than that employed in the St. Gotthard and Arlberg tunnels. ‘The present enterprise has the benefit, also, of the large progress made in engineering science in the past decade, —New York Sun. IRISH TOBACCO. Government Agriculturists Successful In O14 Srotand. The Britich department of agricul- ture has made a series of not wholly unsuccessful attempts to introduce the tobacco industry into Ireland. The first crop, that of 18¥9, was a failure, owing to want of experience in the drying. ‘The second (last year's) erop was pro- auced under expert guidance, and was much more successful, being less strong and bitter. Now the department has for disposal a quantity of tobacco manufactured fom the erop grown in various parts of Ireland in 1900. ‘The kinds Include plug, roll or twist, cut Cavendish, bird's-eye, clgar and clgar- ette tobaccos, the roll (1,000 pounds) forming the bulk of the manufactured article. The department has already received offers for the purchase of 4 large quantity of its stock, and as many private inquiries have been made for parcels, tobacconists should take an early opportunity of making their of- fers to the department, which is pre- pared to supply small quantities for ex- hibition. ‘The crop of 1899 was sold, after payment of the duty of 3 shillings per pound, at a price sufficiently good to make tobacco growing in Ireland a profitable industry. ‘The tobacco made trom the crop of 1900 should fetch a better price, and should have a good sale if only as a curlosity—Dublin Correspondence London Chronicle, Mapan's Petroleum Industry ‘The American experts sent to Japan in 1897 spent six months in an inves: tigation of the ofl regions. It was said that they returned to America convinced that the ofl was not sufficl- ently plentiful to warrant belng treat- ed with expensive machinery. Reports of a different nature are now coming from Japan. The British Board of Trade Journal prints a re- port by Mr, Reutiers of the British Consular service, in which he says that the petroleum industry has reach- ed considerable dimensions. Nearly the entire supply comes from the Province of Echigo, on the west coast about 200 ,miles nearly north of Yo: Kohama, Pipe lines transport the olf from the wells to refineries at the sea- port towns of Nagoaka,, Niigata, and other places, ‘These refineries, thougt ‘small, will it ts asserted, bring the of up to the American standard. It is proposed to construct a pipe linc through the mountain valleys abou! 200 miles to Tokio for the purpose ot starting the refining industry there or a large scale. Petroleum Is also found in Yezo the northern island, but though the supply there is said to be abundant nearly all the production, which no¥ amounfS to about 19,000,000 gellons year, comes from Echigo. a a a From time to time for many years there has been more or less said and written about a universal language and several attempts have been madc to build up one that would take the place of all tongues, but no progress has ever been attained. While Volapuk and kindred artificia’ languages have been launched, talked about, studied by a few persons, and soon relegated to the shelves of the philological museum, there has _ap- parently been a language growth that promises to become universal. ‘This fact is emphasized by the com. pilation of recent postoffice reports from all of the countries where lette writing {s known, This compilation shows that the postofiices of the work anaually distribute 12,000,000,000 let ters, and of these 8,000.000,000 are ad dressed in Bnglish, 1,200,000,000 in German and 1,000,000,000 in French end all of the other languages hav Jess than 2,000,000,000 between them. ‘hese figures show that the Eng:is! lenguage promises to become +h tongue of the nations.

Among these self-support- ing Industries, we are glad to know, ls the production of beet sugar. At all events, It was such two years ago. We Dublish elsewhere @ letter written in 1899, and signed by Mr, Oxnard and Mr. Cutting, the chiefs of this indus- try on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains, showing that this was the happy condition of the trade at that time. If parties masquerading as beet sugar producers are besieging the Pres- ident ahd Congress at this moment, and pretending that they will be ruined it Cuban sugar is admitted for six months at half the present rates of duty, their false pretences ought to be exposed. “The letter of Messrs. Oxnard and Cutting was probably written for the Purpose of inducing the farmers of the Missizsippl valley to go more largely into the cultivation of beets for the sugar factories. This was a laudable motive for telling the truth and show- ing the iarge profits which awaited both the beet-grower and the manufac- turer if the industry were persevering- ly and intelligently prosecuted. To this end it was pointed out that farmera could clear $05 per acre by cultivating beets, and might even make $100, But in order to assure the cultivator that he would not be exposed to reverces by possible changes in the tariff, they proceeded to show that the industry stood in no need of protection. “The beet sugar industry, these gen- tlemen say, “stands on as firm a basi« as any business in the country.” They point out the fact—a very important one—that their product comes out asa finished article, reflned and. granulat ed. It ts not, like cane-sugar grown In the West India Islands, a black and offensive paste, which must be carried in wagons to the seaboard and thence by ships to the United States, where, after another handling, tt is put through a costly refinery, and then shipped by rail to the consumer, who may possibly be in Nebraska alongside a bect sugar factory which turns out the refined and granulated article at one fell swoop. Indeed, the advan- tages of the producer of beet stiyar for supplying the domestic consumption are very great. We have no doit that Mecsrs, Oxnard and Cutting are withia bounds when they say that ‘sugar can be produced here cheaper than it can be in Europe.’ The reasons for this are that— “ephe sugar Industry Is, after all merely an agricultural one. We can undersell Europe in all other crops, and sugar is no exception.” “It follows as naturally as the mak- ing of flour from wheat. If we can produce wheat cheaper than Europe, then naturally we can produce flour cheaper, as we do, “But the writers of the letter do not depend upon a-priori reasoning to prove that they can maRe sugar at a profit without tariff protection. They point to the fact that under the McKinley tarift of 1890, when sugar was free of duty, the price of the article was 4 cents per pound. Yet a net profit of $3 per ton was made by the beet-sugar factories under those conditions, not counting any bounty on the home production of sugar. ‘They boast chat they made this proilt while working under absolute free trade, and they have a right to be proud of this result of their skill and Industry. Many beet-sugar factories had been started in bygone years, back in the siztles and seventies of the nine- teenth century, and had failed because the projectors did not understand the business. Since then great progress has been made, both here and abroad, in the cultivation and manipulation of the beet. What was impossible thirty years ago is now entirely feasible. The In- dustry is already on a solid and endur- ing basis, There are factories in tho United States, these gentlemen tell us In thelr letter, capable of using 350,000 tons of beets per annum at a profit of $3 per ton, and this would make proftt of $1,050,000 as the income to be earnéd under absolute freo trade “It must be plain to readers of this letter, signed by the captains of the beet-sugar Industry, that the people in Washington who are declaiming against the temporary measure which the President of the United States urges for the rellef of the Cuban pov ple, are elther grossly ignorant of the subject, or are practising gross decep- tion. The tenable ground for them ls to say: ‘Other people are having pro- tection that they do not need, and therefore we ought to have more than we need.’ This would be consistent with the letter of Messrs.
