THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country Negro Newspapers NO HUMAN PATTERNS. The Negro Problem Very Hard to Solve. Elkton, Md., Feb. — In answer to the many questions regarding the Negro—How he shall overcome his present relation to the white man; How he shall raise the standard of his own life; How he shall become a chosen people; In what exclusive path he should walk; After what people he should follow, and a number of other questions, there is No Human Paternity which he man go. That the source of Nego Problem is hard, it goes with out question. It is a fact worthy of notice that should be carried to the heart of every Negro. It needs to be emphasized again and again that the present 'Yoke' which the Negro bears is as hard to throw off as was his yoke of 40 years ago. Forty years his burden wss of a different nature, so much so, that those things which constitute his burd in today were then rarely thought of by him. Forty years ago his struggle was not so much for positive equality as for freedom from the curse of slavery. Then, the words of the Negro may well have been "Let me go and I'll show you what I'll do." But now, since he has begun to show the world what he can and will do with the liberty and rights of a man, the enemy who is also 40 years advanced in skill and art, has accordingly introduced new methods by which he may impede the advancement of the Negro, e. g., the widening of the Jim Crow Car Law, stricter social fines increased political injustice, etc. I grant that the Negro enjoys more privileges today in nearly every respect them we did in slavery. But in as much as a thing is great or small only as compared with some king else, so it is with the rights and privileges enjoyed by the Negro today. Hence, the truth of the matter is that when the qualification of the Negro of today is comared with that of 40 years ago, and when his rights and privileges of today are compared with those of 40 years ago, it will be seen at once that, comparatively, the Negro is farther from enjoying u freedom that corresponds with his qualifications and ability than he was 40 years ago. In other words the Negro has advanced in qualifications much faster than he has actu al liberty, to make practical the same. Sneen is not so strongly the case with any other people in the known world. The foregoing facts stand to show that on equal qualification, on the part of the Negro and the white man will not solve the great problem between the two races. The cry of the Negro 40 years ago was for liberty, privileges, freedom, and his cry should be just the same today and that, even well flavored with ferent vent prayer and endeavor as in days of old. It was Christian civilization that raised the white man above the Negro persecution of 40 years ago, it will only be a higher Christian civilization that will ever do away with the present Negro persecution, dreadness of the Race, we hold the key in our own hands which will unlock the door that leads to true liberty full privilege and the priest freedom. In as much as it is the preest Christian civilization that God has promised should rule the world, not withstanding the fact the white man has closed many of the doors that could be open to the Negro, still the principal doors swing as wide, reach as far and are as free to all as the grace of God. If we step when we have the legal qualifications, a white man the accustomed leader—we are still unnoticed in most cases. In the name of our Lord 'let,' us raise our eyes, our voices, our minds, our hands and all we to the Son of God, the faithful pattern in all good work. In conclusion, let us take fresh courage be up and doing, bearing in mind, that the question between the Negro and white man is not one of fitness; nor of unfitness; but, it is a continual evil stream flowing from devilish hearts, which can be sublued only the grace of God. Josph Gwynn Be sure you are right when the cast your vote for Council man in the Third ward. Gallinger has certainly let her go gal lager. Its waist deep to Mr. Negro just as well roll up your sleeves and get into it right. Better take a fools advice. LOOK TO THE CHILDREN. The young element of our race needs constant teaching in order to keep them the many crimes that are constantly being committing too. P0(mdE?e!8(sat. immited by them. They are committing th many crimes. One the main causes is that they are idle standing about the depots loafing around the owest dives and dens of infamy and crime. To a large extent the parents are responsible for this condition of affairs. They allowed their boys too much latitude while they were in school. They allowed to drift out of school and then failed to compel them to learn some useful occupation at which they could be kept employed for all time. It is the bounden duty of all parents to see that their boys learn some useful occupation so that when they leave school they will know how to do something and not to be educated loafers nor should the girls be neglected in this line. They should be taught that there should be something more in life than teaching school or merrying and settling down upon some deserving young man who is scarcely able to support himself, with the numerous training and indus indus scaucs in the State every girl can learn to her band to honest dignified labor. Every parent should see to it that this is done. From now on the paramount question with every parent should be: "Am I best fitting my child for the position which we should occupy as a man in the affairs of life?"—Tae Re'orner. Hon. Jas. A. Getty. One of the promising young lawyers of this city, with a back bone and determination and a record of manliness cover his entire career in Wyandotte county is a candidate for State Committeeman on the republican ticket he is the man to vote for. He stands before you as one of the ablest lawyer in the state.a man who enjoys the confidence of his friends irrespective of party, a man who is in the forefront of active, brainy and invinciable young men remember and east your vote for him and you will have no regrets. REMEMBER. I. B. Blackburn is a candidate for the Republican nomination for councilman in the 3rd ward, he certainly deserves your support. Will the Negro citizens be any thing less than men and support him. Why is it necessary to appeal to the race in support of a member? who is so lost to true Negro citizenship. We are today facing issues that must force us together or for ever force us apart. Every nationality stands up for our own and why not us. Jealousy, personal feelings and little differences should be set aside and come what will or may, we should stand for a member of the race. I. B. Blackburn has the qualitiet he will give satisfaction. The time is here and staring us in the face will you vote for Blackburn. Be honest to yourself your race and your God. REMEMBER AND GIVE HIM YOUR VOTE. Among the highly esteemed gentlemen who desire the suffrage of the citizens of the 2nd ward who has merited it by gentlymanly conduct and uprightness we take pleasure in men ioning Geo.Gurble Jr. the present efficient councilman and candidate for re-election. He has acquitted the duties in a most creditable manner and entitled to re-election at hands of his constituents. He has endeavored to do his whole duty by the whole Second Ward, irrespective of party affiliations. He has proven the right man in the right place and will be re-elected by a good large Majority. DO THIS When the Caucasian race finds one of their number pressing onward, full of aspiration, energy and ambition, they rally to him as long as he is true, otherwise, he falls from the respect and esteem; so should the Negro.—Ex. HOGAN'S LATEST STUNT. HONOLULU, Earnest Hogan the colored comedian and song writer, has got into a warren controversy with a company of local men who engaged him and a large company to come here, and as a result of his trouble, Hogan has sent a formal challenge to Prince Cupid Kalanianiaole to fight a due'. Hogan had a row in the prince's office yesterday and claims that he was insulted by Cupid. After leaving the office he bad one of his friends write to Prince Cupi and invite him to a meeting with any kind of weapons he might choose. A Kassas newspaper man's motto is "Lie, steal, drink and swear. When you lie, let it be down to pleasant dreams. When you steal, let it be away from immoral associations; when you drink, let it be burep witer when you swear let it be that you will patronize your home paper pay your subscription and not send your job work away from home." This motto should be adoed by every man who desires to live right and to see his home town flourish and grow.—Ex. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FRIDAY MORNING, IN MEMORIAM Memorial exercises were held at the First Baptist Church last Friday eve., by the Order of Twelve numbers in this city, in memory of Rev.

As a mouthpiece through which every true and loyal Negro can be heard and as we enter to-day upon our Fifteenth year in the ranks of Negro Journalism we take occasion as we have in the past, to advise the Negro in the way we believe by careful observation to be right. As Negroes we are the under dog in the battle for existence and in our efforts to rise must govern ourselves accordingly. The powers that would be have not and are not now treating the Negro, the most loyal race under the blue canopy of heaven, right, in Wynahotte County. We say this in all fairness and with sincerity and absolute truthfulness. In years past and gone the good old Negro has toed the mark nicely and landed in fat offices, Republicans in name, butwith hearts as black as night against them. The wool has been drawn so tightly over our eyes that we were unable to see things as they were. We are waking up and we are proud to know that great is the awakening. We told you last Spring, we have told you all along, we tell you again. Parties do not make the men, but men make the parties, we want every Negro to get this firmly fixed in his head, then act. On next Tuesday the Republican Primaries will be held. We want every Negro to remember J. H. Gallagher who was elected last spring on the republican ticket for constable of north side district court appointed a negro deputy, all went well until Mr. Gallagher came in contact with the Lilly whites, and he announced last week to Mr. Squire Lee his negro deputy and also secretary of the republican city central committee that if he succeeded in landing the second time he could not appoint a negro deputy. He comes before the citizens of the north side district next Tuesday, seeking the nomination for re-election. The bulk of the Negro voters live in this district. Now brethren what are you going to do? Are you going to stand upon your manhood or go way back and sit down. We believe that every man has the right to vote to suit himself, but we do believe that some people ignorant of facts vote for people they would not otherwise vote for, did they know the truth. What we want the colored citizens to do is to learn to be independent and not vote for any man because he is on the republican or democratic tickets. Stand up and be men and think for yourselves and vote always to your best interest-Remember the facts we have stated and later on we will tell you something else. TOPEKA. TOPEKA. Mrs. J. M.

The twenty buildings on the 300 acres of the Malua Training institution, which is twenty miles from Apa, were all erected by the students under the direction of their teachers. Fifty acres of the property has been cultivated, and 900 cocoanut and 1,200 bread-fruit trees have been set out. The food supply for the institution is obtained from the neighboring waters, which abound in fish. Each student cultivates a garden and raises sugar cane, yams, bananas and taro. The Acoustic Telescope. The British war office, it is reported is making arrangements for carrying on a series of elaborate experiments with an apparatus invented by General Gilletta, of the Italian army, called the acoustic telemeter, the object of which is the location of the direction from which hoile 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. With the object of encouraging agriculture in the Soudan the British government has tentatively begun to purchase the crops raised by the fellahs. Special commissions have been appointed for the regulation and establishment of titles to real property in town and country. These commissions settle the questions at issue on the spot. The continuous possession of a piece of ground for five years is regarded as sufficient evidence of title. The prohibition to grow tobacco has been withdrawn. An experiment in colonization has been carried out in the districts along the Blue and White Niles with two disbanded Soudanese battalions, but even so soon as this there is a considerable improvement in the condition of affairs in the Soudan. Fuel Out of Waste. One problem which municipal authorities of all countries have been seeking to solve is how to best dispose of the city's garbage. A process has been discovered in France, by which garbage is converted into briquettes. It consists of mincing the refuse, straw, paper and the like and adding tar and napthalene. The whole mass is then mixed in a kneading apparatus and dried, and pressed into briquettes. The director of the Paris municipal laboratory says that these briquettes have a slight odor of gas, burn brightly, and engender heat slowly. With a more highly perfected method of manufacture they will engender less ash, and the heat-producing qualities will be about the same as those of common coal. Restoring Frescoes. The castle of Cles, in Trient, at present used as a barracks, contains some very fine frescoes and wall paintings made when the Cardinal von Cles occupied the palace as bishop of the see. They date from 1530 to 1555. Three famous Italian artists were summoned to Cles to beautify the castle—Dosso Dossi, from Ferrara; Romanino from Brescia, and Figolino, from Vienna. A much of Dossi's work is visible but part has been unfortunately white washed over. These works are now to be rescued as far as possible from destruction. TIME KILLING IN SOCIETY. Typical Modern House Party on a Scottish Estate. I am sure our house party must be a success. The royalty, it is true, is an obscure scon of a German family, and his name looks more imposing in print than the owner does at breakfast. However, that is a detail. The fact remains that we are a typical modern house party, sumptuously lodged and fed by a typical modern millionaire. Everything in the house is luxurious. The morning tea is served up on priceless Sevres; we awake to the strains of the baggies; the breakfast table is laden with every delicacy; at lunch, when we join the shooters, a hot meal appears miraculously on the heather; the finest moor, the best deer forest, and a magnificent salmon river all appear to be at hand. Carlton has brought down seven stags to his own ride in four days, and landed, according to the gillie's account, the biggest fish of the gillie's account, the biggest fish of the twilight on the beautiful organ in the hall; and after dinner a violinist (also kept on the premises) makes the most divine music in the drawing room. For our host is a patron of the arts, and to what more delightful use can money be put than that of encouraging talent and being able to gratify one's taste for it in one's own house? The Grand Duke encores throughout the performance; the cabinet minister keeps time with his foot, and at the close of the "Kreutzer Sonata" asks for Scottish airs. The celebrated beauties make heroic onslaughts on the eligible parties, who show distinct signs of following the Grand Duke's example. Mr. Veynor announces that the music is "too clear," and the generality of us escape upstairs to each other's sitting room for a final game of bridge. Such is life—London Outlook.

Gonpod's Last Opera Few people are aware that Gounod 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. Gounod'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 fortunate 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 Pletro 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 Carr'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 super-scription" and twisting it between thumb and finger leave it in lieu of $ card—the only man in Russia who had strength for the feat.

WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Gentlemen—Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I took my right ear to the doctor. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noses would be straightened. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain. F. A. WERMAN, 700 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.

"What's that? she demanded. "Sleeping clothes from England," said Mr. Kruger, with giving. "Then take them off," re- sponded Tante, "and come to bed in your veluttihoes (shoes)."

Miss Lenore Allen, 407 Dowell Street, San Francisco, CA., writes: "I consider Peruna an infallible remedy for catarrhal diseases. For several years I have been troubled with influenza, especially during our rainy season. I used to catch cold so easily that I was afraid to be out when the weather was the least bit inclement, or in the evening air. But since I have used Peruna I have nothing whatever the matter with me. "I am in perfect health, and find that Peruna acts as a tonic, and seems to throw all sickness and disease out of the body. I go anywhere now and in all kinds of weather, seem to have an iron constitution and enjoy life because I enjoy perfect health." Miss Mattle Douglass, 138 Thomas Ave., Memphis, Tenn., writes: "From my early womanhood I have been troubled with ocular headaches. I took different powders and drugs, at times getting temporary relief. One of my friends advised me to try Peruna, which I did. I soon found that my general health improved, and my entire system was tasted." "I felt a buoyancy of body and lightness of mind I had not known before, and my headaches has entirely disappeared, and I have enjoyed pain relief for over a year. I gladly endorse Peruna."

Press De Hartman, President of The Hartman Sagittarius, Columbus, Ohio Oral Advertising The latest plague to afflict New York city is the "oral advertisement." He has made his appearance on street cars and on ferry boats, and usually advertises some remedy which will cure almost any disease. Passengers in an uptown elevated train were rather startled by hearing a man cry in a loud voice that "Mothers-in-law are not cranky—they are sick and in need"—then he cried out the merits of a well-known remedy and had disappeared into the next car before the passengers gained their breath and composure. New York, More In Parks Paris gave up this New Years, after many centuries, the Red Mass in the Sainte Chapelle for the judges of the higher courts. This was done by order of the Minister of Justice on account of the intermeddling with political affairs of the religious orders. The ardent Catholic judges and lawyers attended instead a mass celebrated by Cardinal Richard in the Church of St. German L'Auxerrois, opposite the Louvre, whose bells gave the signal for the massacre of St. Bartholomew. He Clinched It. Erle, Kans., Feb. 17th.—In July of 1900, W. H. Ketchum of this place was suddenly seized with a violent pain in his back. He says he supposed it was a "stitch" and would soon pass away, but it lasted five months and caused him great soreness, so that he was barely able to get out of bed. He became alarmed and consulted a doctor which only increased his anxiety and did him no good. A friend who had some experience advised him to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Ketchum began with six pills a day and in a week was well and the soreness all gone. However, this did not satisfy him, for he says: "I thought I would clinch the cure with another box and I did. I have had no recurrence of the trouble since and as this is over a year ago I am thoroughly convinced that Dodd's Kidney Pills have completely cured me." It's what people don't know about a popular man that makes him popular. Don't Bake Your Health An engagement ring is a necessary adjunct to a prize fight.

GERMAN SCIENTIST SAYS IT CAN BE SO UTILIZED. ugendous Theory on the Subject Is Advanced — Declared to Be More Nutritious Than Straw—Horse and Cow Yet to Be Heard from. The mule that died just as his master had taught him to live on sawdust was an ungrateful beast. Before long horses and cattle will be fed on sawdust entirely, if the invention of a German, as described in the Baltimore Sun, fulfills expectations. Consul Frankenthal of Berne reports the invention in Germany of a method of utilizing sawdust as a foodstuff for horses and cattle without the aid of the green goggles of the traditional anecdote. There is a residue of the beets consumed in beet sugar factories, called "melasse," which contains about 50 per cent of uncrystallized sugar. This melasse is to be mixed with sawdust, which is shown by analysis to be more nutritious than straw. Straw contains over $31\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of albumen, $36\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of nitrogen, $1\frac{1}{4}$ per cent of fat substance and $39\frac{1}{4}$ per cent of wood fiber, while pine sawdust has $5\frac{1}{4}$ per cent of albumen, 40 1-3 per cent of nitrogen, 5 per cent of fatty substance and $35\frac{1}{4}$ per cent of wood fiber. The sawdust, however, is first treated with salt and lime water and fermented to a certain extent before mixing with melasse. Animals, it has been observed, easily digest young shoots and roots of shrubs, sunflower stalks and cornstalks and the same nutriment remains when these beewood is grown. According to the report, "when certain chemicals—salt and calcareous water—are added to sawdust or ground corncobs and stalks that have undergone a certain fermenting process the resultant product is a food for animals that is easily assimilated and digested and is like by cattle, horses, sheep and plugs. The valuable properties of this prepared food are based upon the nutritious matter contained in the wood (which is set free by the fermenting process), mixed with a large percentage of melasse." To the fermented sawdust may be added potato peeleds, bran and the like, and then from 70 to 80 per cent of melasse to be mixed in so as to be absorbed by the sawdust. Inventors have often attempted to turn sawdust to use, without practical results so far. One proposal is to convert it into fuel by pressure or by mixing with tar or other substance. Another scheme is to blow sawdust into furnaces. The schemes are innumerable and do very well except to the eye of the bookkeeper. If the nutritious elements of sawdust can be made available by partial fermentation a great point is gained. But the horse and cow which are to eat the mixture are yet to be heard from. Wasted Water From two great mountain systems of our country, the Appalachian and the Rocky, and from the lesser highlands of the interior, flow countless streams that are capable of furnishing millions of horse power of energy. Many of these powers are already used, where they lie near the centers of population, but by far the greater part of the whole remain still undeveloped, and the waters which might be, and eventually will be, employed for the generation of cheap power, are allowed to run to waste. What this waste energy amounts to is still undetermined, but it must be enormous. Some idea of its extent is beginning to be realized by the investigations which have been carried on for several years by the United States Geological Survey in its study of the water resources of the country, and by the numerous measurements it has taken of the flow of many of the streams. These investigations have clearly demonstrated the important fact that there is a magnificent reserve supply of unused power scattered over many parts of the country, which awaits the demands of trade and industry.—U. S. Geological Survey Bulletin. First Use of Maxim Gun The British officer, Maj-Gen. Sir Francis de Winton, who died recently in Wales at the age of 66, was the first man who fired a Maxim gun in war. It was he who first demonstrated the practical use of the new gun. All doubt as to the efficiency of the weapon passed after it had once been put to this test of war. While its utility was still uncertain its inventor was asked by a government committee to have 10,000 rounds fired at the highest possible speed and the experiment was carried out. But still the committee was not satisfied. "Could you guarantee your gun to go on firing automatically at the same rate for, say, twenty-four hours?" asked the chairman. The inventor replied that he could and would on one condition—that the government found and paid for the ammunition. The first inclination of the committee was to accept the suggestion, but somebody calculated that the number of rounds would be $64,000, and that the cost would be about $80,000, and the committee suddenly decided that it was satisfied without the new trial. Yes. He Wanted a Wife Yes. He Wanted a Wife. It is said that a certain Welsh young woman in a moment of weariness with domestic duties said: "Rather than go on like this month after month forever, I'll ask the first man who passes if he wants a wife." Her fellow servant challenged her to put the question to a man just then passing by. The young woman was not prepared to be taken at her word so suddenly, but, in desperation, bethought herself of a way of escape. She hurriedly exclaimed, as the unknown was passing: "Do you want a wife?" "Yes," was the unexpected reply from the young man who also halted from the principality, and, with Celtic sprightiness, followed into the hall the blushing girl, who had fled upon hearing the familiar word. The maid, a farmer's daughter, was buxom and neat; the swain was an industrious and ambitious young dealer, with promising prospects, and soon "merrily婚礼 the wedding bel." Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maids or wives or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions, when the system needs a laxative — is Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nostrums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condition of the system, use the true and gentle remedy—Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depression, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guarantee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle. Broken Down With Bright's Disease—Diabetes? Do your Lidneys or liver refuse to do their allotted work?

Tsilika, Miss Stone's Compunion and is a Macedonian—Miss Stone Has Been Captive Since September 3. PARIS.—(Special.) The Temps publishes a dispatch from Constantinople which announces that Miss Ellen M. Stone has been released by the brigands who have held her captive since September 3 last, and has been handed over in good health to the dragoon of the American negation. The dispatch adds that "Rev. Tsilika" has been arrested on the charge of complicity in the kidnapping of Miss Stone. LONDON.—(Special.) The "Rev, Tsilika," who, according to the Con- tantinople correspondent of the Paris Temps, in a dispatch announcing the release of Miss Stone, had been arreste- d on the charge of complicity in the kidnaping of the missionary, is the husband of Mme. Tsilika, Miss Stone's companion. It was announced recently that the Turkish authorities suspected the Rev. Tsilika of complicity in the abduction of the missionaries. The companion in captivity of Miss Stone was Mme. K. S. Tskla, a Bulgarian woman, wife of Mr. Tskla, a Macedonian teacher of Samakov. Miss Stone, while traveling with Mme. Tskla and a party of about fifteen friends, was captured by brigands in the district of Salonika, September 3. Since that time vigorous efforts have been made by the United States government and by missionaries to obtain the release of the captive. The brigands demanded a ransom of $125,000, but only $72,500 was collected for the ransom and this sum was paid over to the brigands February 6 by M. Gargulio, calef dragoman of the American legation at Constantinople, and W. W. Peet, treasurer of the American mission at Constantinople, who met the brigands on the road to the Podrome monastery. Madame Tsilka was educated at the Northfield seminary. At the time of receiving her American education and training she was Miss Stephanora, a Bulgarian. Having been converted in childhood to the Christian belief, she came to America, after having refused to marry the man of her parents' choosing. Dr. Dwight L. Moody, becoming interested in her welfare, found a place for her in his noted school. Having finished her training at that institution, she became a trained nurse. While engaged in her professional duties in the Adriadacks, she became acquainted with Mr. Tsilka, a Macedonian, who also had been educated in the United States. At that period he was preparing for work as a medical missionary. Soon after the completion of their training, the couple were married and went to Bulgaria, where they at once entered upon missionary work. Miss Stone is one of the missionaries of the American board of Foreign Missions. She has been attached to the Salonica mission since 1878. She was born at Roxbury, *Mass.*, and her home is in Chelsea, *Mass.*, where her mother resides. Four of Miss Stone's brothers are in business in Boston. BURIED A BOY ALIVE. Chilkat Indians in Alaska Gulity of Bar- BARRY TOWARD a CHRISTIAN CONFER. SEATTLE. WASH—(Special.) The steamer Dirigo, has arrived from Alaska and brings news that Chillatik Indians, near Hits Mission, Alaska, on February 5, buried alive one of their tribe, a boy 15 years of age. The boy had been converted to Christianity by Mile A. Sellon, a Methodist missionary, and in a burst of religious zeal denounced the mummies of the tribal ict, or medicine man. This act aroused the anger of the superstitious old men of the tribe. Recently fourteen native residents of the village of Knuckwan died of consumption and the ict spread the belief that the boy, in league with the evil one, through his knowledge of the white man's religion, caused the deaths. The disappearance of the boy from school aroused the suspicions of Mr. Sellon and he started in search. At the outskirts of the village he found tracks leading to a fresh grave. Digging down he found the boy still alive, his bloodshot eyes rolling in insane agony, his hair torn in handfuls from his head. His fingernails were torn off in his effort to escape from his horrible prison. The boy was lifted from the grave and carried to the village, where he lived several hours, howling and crying out like a maniac, and then dying from the effects of suffering and fright. The ict who is responsible for the crime is Skun Doo, an old offender, who spent a term in San Quentin penitentiary for causing an old woman to be starved to death in 1894. VINCENNES, IND.—(Special). F. W. Roberts, an electrician, created a sensation in the suit against Matthew Kelly and Dallas Tyrus, charged with causing the downfall of Richard Davis, former bank cashier for unfair gambling schemes. He testified that, at the direction of Kelly, he placed a new battery in the saloon and adjusted two saucer magnets under the bar where it is alleged that Davis lost $50,000 "shooting craps." The electrical work was done at midnight and witness was warned by Kelly not to mention it. At the Auditorium. KANSAS CITY—(Special.) Bronson Howard's great play of the Civil war, "Shenandoah," is the bill given by the Woodward Stock Company at the Auditorium this week. This play is one of which the audiences at the Auditorium never tire. It has been a wonderful success, and it does not seem to lose its hold on the public.

Secret Service Agent Discovers Method of Maker of Bogus Money. BIRMINGHAM, ALA. — (Special). Secret Service Agent McAdams has found negative photographic plates which he alleges were used by W. R. Shyle, now under arrest on a charge of counterfeiting McAdams says he has discovered how counterfeit $20 bills, a number of which were passed in Birmingham, were made from those plates. The negatives were found in Shyle's photograph establishment in Talladega, and McAdams says there can be no question that the bills were printed from them. There are twelve of the plates and six bills can be printed at one time. The paper on which the bills were printed was sensitized in the same manner as ordinary solio of albumin sheets. An ordinary photographer's printing frame was used in transferring the lines from the plate, the sheets being reversed to get an impression on each side. The coloring was done by a mixture used in tinting photographs. Twenty-four thousand dollars in counterfeit $20 bills was found in Shyle's valise at the time of his arrest. FORTY CHOIR BOYS STRIKE. Kept Them in Debt to the Church. NEW YORK—(Special.) Led by the 12-year-old son of the rector, forty boys comprising the chair of St. Clement's Protestant Episcopal Church have gone on a strike, and at the morning service hooted and jeered the four men solitists who furnished all the vocal music. They had preceded this by stoning the chapel Saturday evening and were routed by the police. At the evening service the boys maintained dignified silence. There were two policemen stationed at the main entrance to the church. At the conclusion of the service, the boys met on the corner and discussed their grievances. The forty strikers—the oldest is not yet 15 years old—told the rector, Rev. Franklin Moore, with the rector's son as spokesman, that the organist and choirmaster had instituted a plan of fines that takes from them all the remuneration for their services and leaves them in debt to the church at the end of each month. A GREAT PIANIST. Josef Hofman, perhaps the greatest living pianist, will make his first Western appearance in Kansas City Thursday night. February 27, at the Academy of Music, and again Saturday afternoon, March 1, in a special matinee. It was in 1887 that Josef Hofman, then a boy of 10, started the world of music by his phenomenal playing. He swept Europe clean of his laurels and then came to America and electrified the East. In his eleventh year, the young Josef's father very wisely withdrew him from the concert platform and took him back to the old home in Poland. After a rest he was placed under the tutelage of Rubenstein, and studied with the great master for several years. In 1884 he returned to the stage, and more than fulfilled the promises of his glorious youth. After touring Europe, he came to America again in 1898, and has returned each successive season. This year, however, he is playing in the West for the first time, and is now drawing immense crowds on the Pacific coast. The sale of seats for the Kansas City engagement will open Monday, at 9 o'clock. in the Union Pacific ticket office, corner of Tenth and Main Sts. Mail orders will be given best attention.

A Robber With a Knife SAN DIEGO, CAL.—(Special) At Los Banos, the bathhouse near the Santa Fe station, a robber was discovered by Mr. Nevius, the proprietor holding a knife at the throat of a stranger and taking his valuables. Mr. Nevius grappled with him, but the robber turned his knife on the proprietor and took from him his watch and money. Mr. Nevius hurried to her husband with a revolver. The robber plunged his knife into her left side and rushed out of the house, followed by Mr. Nevius, who shot the robber in the leg. The latter was captured and killed. Handy With a Razor GALLATIN, TENN. — (Special), Charlie Finn, colored, grabbed a man, dragged him into an alley and cut off his head with a razor. Finn was tracked with blood hounds and captured. Much excitement prevails and a lynching is probable. Finn, a few years since, slashed Marshal George Mathier, of this city, with a razor, thirty-seven times, the latter's head almost being severed from the body. For this crime Finn was sent to the state prison for two years. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS When a man is paid for playing he calls it work.

SPAIN, IS BECOMING SERIOUS. STATE OF SIEGE HAS BEEN PROCLAIMED Troops Fired on Mob, Injuring Many Papers Have Suspended, Street Traffic Has Been Stopped and All Factor- ties and Shops are Closed —Roman Laborers, May BARCELONA.—(Special.) The strike situation here is becoming more grave. A state of siege has been proclaimed. The printers have tied up all the papers and none of them is appearing. At the strikers' meeting held here yesterday several anarchists, some of whom were women, made violent speeches, inciting the strikers to burn the unsanitary dens of the workmen and seize the palaces of the rich. For several days past preparations have been in progress here for a general strike and now trade is completely paralyzed. The strikers have in many instances attacked servants who were returning from market and robbed them of their provisions. The number of strikers has increased to $8,000, and the strike movement is spreading throughout the vicinity of the city. Three persons were killed and thirty-five wounded in a collision between the strikers and troops. MADRID—(Special). It is estimated that 80,000 men have struck at Barcelona and serious rioting is reported there. The mob attempted to sack the market buildings and stopped all street traffic. The factories and shops in the city have been closed. Groups of women bearing banners are taking a prominent part in the disturbances. Several battalions of troops are clearing the streets. In the chamber, General Castellanos taxed the government with lack of energy in dealing with the Barcelona rioters. Replying, Senor Gonzales, minister of the interior, said that the prefect of Barcelona was not able to send a police commissary to each of the seventy-two simultaneous strikers' meetings in that city. After further explanations, Senor Gonzales introduced a bill asking the chamber to authorize the suspension of constitutional guarantees in the province of Barcelona. During the rioting at Barcelona, the troops fired on the mob, killing one person and wounding twenty-four. An unconfirmed telegram received here gives the results of the charging and firing by the troops at ten killed and sixty-five wounded. FIGHTING A HURRICANE Terrible Experience of the Crew of a Ship That Went Down at Sea. GALVESTON, TEX.—(Special.) The Head line steamer Torchail has arrived in port with a shipwrecked crew of eighteen men. Captain H. Kohlsaft, master of the ship Helena, which went to pieces in a hurricane on February 3. in latitude 37.13 north and longitude 40.43, is included in the shipwrecked crew. The Helena went down after a three-days' battle with the sea. She left New York for Liverpool on January 19 with a cargo of maita valued at $30.000. On the morning of January 31 the ship encountered the hurricane and for three days the crew fought to keep the ship afloat, five of the crew having succumbed to exhaustion before the end of the second day. For thirty-eight hours the eighteen men board worked without food, pumping the water from the hold. What food escaped the water was saturated with naphtha. The Torrishae, having steered 120 miles out of its course to avoid the hurricane, came across the Helene, which was sinking rapidly, and before leaving his vessel Captain Kohlssdt fired the line and she sank in ten minutes. The crew of the Helene were brought to Galveston and delivered to the German consul here. All but four have recovered from their awful experience, and they are now out of danger. Three Children Killed OWINGSVILLE. KY. — (Special.) Three children of John Thompson were instantly killed and another and the mother were fatally injured by the accidental explosion of a keg of blasting powder. Thompson was moving and a keg of powder was among some things he put in the kitchen temporarily. The children were rather cold, and a fire was started in the kitchen stove. The children were playing around the room and in some manner one of them dropped a coal of fire in the keg of powder. Instantly there was a terrific explosion and the roof was lifted from the room. When the smoke had cleared away three little bodies, mangled beyond recognition, were picked up, while the mother and another child were more dead than alive. The dead children were aged 11, 8 and 2 years. Fatal Mine Accident SOUTH 'MALESTER, I. T.—(Special.)

TRIESTE, AUSTRIA. -- (Special.) This city is practically in the hands of riotous strikers. All the factories are closed and the few stores which opened for business were compelled to close, owing to the mobs which paraded the streets. Traffic on the street railways was suspended. The headquarters of the Austrian Lloyds Steamship Company, whose firemen were the first to strike, were protected by a strong force of police, who repeatedly checked and attempted to drive back the rioters. The military have occupied the public squares and other points of vantage. The mobs frequently stoned the police and some shots were fired. A meeting held in the Piazzl Grande was followed by a street fight, during which the troops fired a volley into the mob, six of whom were killed and twenty severely wounded. The meeting was attended by 4,000 strikers. It was addressed by the labor leaders, who spoke in a pacific vein, but, owing to the singing and hooting they could not obtain a hearing. After numerous scrimgames the constantly growls moans of rioters attacked a company of troops in the rear with volleys of stones. A lieutenant was severely wounded and fell. His men then opened fire, killing six. The further dispersal of the rioters was accomplished by the police with drawn swords, during which many more were wounded. The labor leaders have consented that a court of arbitration settle the disputes of the strikers. Altogether 20,000 men of all trades have gone on strike. The tramways, the railroads and the newspapers are all affected. All the buildings are protected by troops. HE TOOK PRUSSIC ACID. Student in University of Michigan Suicides Because "His Life Was a Failure." ANN ARBOR, MICH.—(Special.) Albert O. Klein, of Chicago, a student in the University of Michigan, committed suicide by taking prussic acid. This is the second suicide among the university students within the last two weeks. No reason is known for Klein's act. He left a note saying his life was a failure, but giving no reason why. Klein was a good student and stood well in his classes. He was apparently happy at all times. Of late he has been troubled slightly with insomnia and has also had several light attacks of malaria, but his general health has been good. He arose early and after taking a bath, swallowed the poison, which he had no trouble in securing, as he was a chemist. PARIS.—(Special.) The Hindoo twin named Dordica, which was separated from Radica by an operation February 9, died suddenly in convulsion due to the advanced stage of the urethrocystis from which she suffered. The twins appeared to improve during the last week and passed their time playing happily with toys. The death of Dordica has been concealed from Radica, who is making excellent progress. A DARING BANDIT Killed Cashier in Trying to Rob Bank Shot Himself to Prevent Capture. MEXICO CITY.—(Special.) A daring and foolhardy attempt was made to rob the London and Mexico bank, one of the strongest financial concerns in the city of Mexico, by an unknown robber, who, after killing the cashier and seeing that he would be captured, blew his own brains out. shack and no one but employees were in the bank, the robber entered the building and, unobserved, made his way to the vault near which was the cashier, whom he covered with a pistol and demanded that he give up the money in his custody. Upon the cashier's refusal the robber fired, the bullet striking the cashier in the head, killing him instantly. Other employees made a rush for the robber, who fired three shots at them without effect, and, as the men continued to advance and seeing that his capture was inevitable, the robber turned his pistol on himself and sent a bullet through his brain, dying instantly in the bank. The dead man had no papers or any article on his body that would serve to identify him, and, other than that he was an American, nothing of him is known. He was well dressed in a tailor-made suit, wore a full beard, well trimmed, and was about 45 years of age. His general appearance was that of a well-to-do business man.
