The board of directors decided to buy the Washington The board of directors of Douglass hospital in Kansas City, Kas., which is fast coming to be recognized as a leading hospital for Negroes, held a meeting last evening for reorganization. The board was materially strengthened by the addition of Dr. George M. Gray, physician and surgeon, who has taken great interest in the hospital. Several offers suggested by him were added to the board. The hospital staff was also reorganized with Dr. Gray as surgeon in chief and Dr. S. H. Thompson and Dr. G.E. Horsey as assistants. Dr. S. S. Glasscock was chosen as chief of the medical staff. His assistants are Dr. I.H.Anthony and Dr. J. N. Soanes. Other changes will add to the efficiency of the work at the hospital were decided on. An important move made by the board was a decision to purchase the property on Washington ave between 3rd and 4th St. where the hospital is now located. To this end blank certificates have been printed and subscriptions will be asked, for which a certificate will be given. A committee of five was appointed, to be known as the purchasing committee; it was composed of Drs. S. S. Glasscock J. J. Thomas, E. T. Demby, I. F. Bradley and G. M. Gray. The officers of the committee are; J. J. Thomas, secretary, and Dr. G M. Gray, treasurer.

There is one Murray Hill dame, at least, who "returned with joy" after her summer's campaign, "bringing her sheaves with her" in the shape of a long-coveed recognition by the set to which she for many years had aspired so belong, but into which she had mithero failed to effect an entree, although she was pretty and attractive, and rich and of a parentage rather better on the whole than many who had passed her on the social ladder for no apparent reason except that they had succeeded and she had not, says the New York Tribune. Last summer, as usual, she took a house of a fashionable watering-place, and, as usual, also she felt rather lonely and 'out of it' amid the gay crowds of intimates. One day she said to one of her few friends who belong to the world she seemed so aloof from that she wished that she could break the tie that seemed always to keep her at such a distance, and that she could feel her more a part of her social surroundings. "Surely there is no trouble about it if you really want to go into society!" exclaimed her friend. "I always thought you didn't care for that sort of thing. There is no possible reason why you should not go where you want to. Of course you must do something for a start. I'll tell you what, you must open your house and grounds for a bazaar for some charity that the leaders of society are interested in. There is nothing better for an entering wedge—it always succeeds," and the result proved the truth of this world wisdom. The bazaar was given. All society was interested, and on the tidal wave of her success little Mrs. S-called into the haven where she would be. --- CENTENARIANS' COMPETITION. A Subscription in Their Bohalf Has Been Opened in Italy. Supported by the newspaper Don Chisciotti, a subscription has been opened, the result of which is to be divided between those who on January 1, 1900, will have seen three centuries—that is to say, those who, having at that time at least 100 years and two days, can boast of having lived in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Superficial observers may think that for this purpose comparatively little will be required, or that if a large sum be collected it will be divided among very few people. However, this is a mistake, as according to statistics there pre now in Italy from 200 to 300 people whose age exceeds 100 years. The historian Flegone, in his books, "De Mirabilibus" and "De Longaevia," records that from a census taken at the time of the Emperor Vespasian it resulted that there were in Italy sixy-five centenarians, but it is enough to open the medical encyclopedia of Oechambre to establish that the number of centenarians has proportionately increased considerably since ancient times, even taking into consideration the augmentation in the population, the diminution of epidemics, the lesser frequency of war, the amelioration of hygienic conditions—in a word, the progress of civilization, which has great, lessened mortality. A scarcity of sailors more general than ever before in the history of Maline shipping prevails at the present time, and the wages of seamen have risen to an unusual point. Concludes the smallest Our Quota the smallest. In time of war France put 370 out of every 1,000 of her population in the sold: Germany, 310; Russia, 210. The Frettful Baby in an Omnibus. A correspondent of the London Pall Mall Gazette vouchers for this incident: A young woman with a frettful baby in a full omnibus (aloud): "Poor little alper, I suppose I shall end by 'aving to take 'im to the 'orspital.' (Raising the child's veil and looking around for sympathy.) "Don't get no rest. "E is sufferer" with small pox." Woman Sells Her Teeth A Chandler (O. T.) paper says that a Kansas City woman visiting in Chandler noticed the fine teeth possessed by one of the local belles. She offered the belle $100 for two of the teeth, besides all her expenses in coming to Kansas City to have them extracted, and it is understood that the offer was accepted. Toys for Poor Children The prefect of the Selene distributed 25,000 francs (85,000) in the arrangements of Paris to buy toys for poor children on Jan. 1. The sum was bequeathed to M. Vincent, a friend of Victor Hugo, who made an annual distribution after the poet's death and continued the benefaction in his will. Origin of "Arabian Nights."

Sir Vincent Sheffield, who has returned from South Africa, said in a speech at Eaton, England, Feb. 8, that when he left from eighty to ninety Boer commandos of about 200 men such were still in the field, or in all 16,000 to 18,000 men.

Good Hater. This phrase was first used by Dr. Johnson, who said of Bathurst, a physician: "He was a man to my very heart's content. He hated a fool, and he hated a rogue, and he hated a whig; he was a very good hater."

It claims all kinds of records and from the figures of its industry it deserves recognition. For pie-making and pie-eating, for big pies and little pies, for thin pies and thick pies, for light pies and heavy pies, it is willing to enter the arena against any city in the Union, barring none. Three factories alone, turn out 365,000 pies every year, but this is only a small portion of the city's pie industry. The 40,000 inhabitants consume about 3,000 pies daily, or over 1,000,000 each year. If laid in a straight line, edge fer edge, they would make a pie bicycle path from Boston to Chicago. At 10 cents each, and they are worth more than that, Brockton consumes $2.0 worth of pie per citizen each year. The champion pie-maker of the town is a boarding house keeper, Viola V. King, of 475 Montello street, a sister-in-law of W. L. Douglas, the millionaire shoe manufacturer. Her record last year was 4,635 pies, or about 13 pies a day for every day in the year. The holder of second place in the pie-making industry is another boarding house keeper, Mrs. Margaret Casklin, proprietress of the Empire house, who has 2,840 pies to her credit. The proof of the wholesomeness of pie as an article of diet is in the eating, and Mrs. Casklin points proudly to boarders that have been with her for 19 years and have never had a day's sickness from indigestion.—Omaha World.

William Tillberg, a farmer near Salina, recently discovered on his farm same crude stone weapons, used by the early inhabitants of this country. One is a sharp stone weapon shaped some what like an ax, except it is longer and thinner; it is sharp on all edges, and is of a kind of stone not found in that part of Kansas. The other relic is the shape of a pick, only it is thicker, but has the appearance of having been used for digging. It is made of sand stone. The two were taken from the ground near the same place.

A company of Eastern capitalist whose local representative is A. A Vermillion, of Wichita, a law partner of Governor Stanley, have secured options on about 800 acres of land adjacent to Wellington on which they propose to begin prospecting at one for salt. If the depth and extent of the salt deposits are found satisfactorily large evaporating works will be constructed. The manufacture of salt will carried on there with success for several years, but was finally abandoned through inability to secure satisfactory rates from the railroads. The company is believed to have the matter of freight rates fixed in advance. "That child seems to stir up a lot of trouble." "Yes.

Admiral Joett says that when he first went to sea as a cadet he attempted some conversation with the executive officer who received him when he went on board. The officer, one of the strictest displaarians in the service, met his advances in this mild fashion: "Silence, sir. Who gave you permission to speak? Let me hear only six words from you, sir, while you are on this ship: Port, starboard, yes, sir, and no, sir." The late John W.

Washington letter to St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Although there is an excellent prospect that temporary offices will be erected for the president of the United States and his force of clerks and that new furniture will be supplied for the building, Mr. Corteluy, secretary to the president, is determined that at least one piece of furniture is to be transferred to the new structure. That is what has become known as the "Abe Lincoln chair." It stands in the office of Mr. Corluy, just to the right of the entrance to the cabinet room, where the president receives callers with whom he wishes to talk privately and who are not dismissed as so many callers are with a vigorous handshake, where the president receives chair—is the "Abe Lincoln chair." It could not be singled out for beauty, although its quality of rarity might commend it. The leaves a spiral screw just like the ordinary revolving office chair. The seat is of the usual shape, but its back that is a marvel. Any one who has ever called upon the president or who has been in the White House office since the civil war and Lincoln's time, will immediately remember it. On one side of the chair that is the back, the chair rises slightly more than four inches from the seat. Gradually this would back until at a point the chair is nearly two feet from the seat. Where the other arm of the ordinary chair would be, the back has swept up to a height of the furniture has a lop-sided and peculiar appearance, but it is prized none, the less for this reason, appears when Lincoln is to be to the office of the chair of throwing his legs over the arm of a chair when talking to a visitor. Most of the chairs were low and deep seated. As a consequence the attitude he assumed would bring his knees in close proximity to his chin, and when he tried to rise to bid his caller adieu there was an embarrassing and trying struggle in the effort to extricate himself. As time passed Lincoln did not cure himself of the habit, so the chair was built as a convenience. It can readily be seen that on the back to throw his long legs over the leathern armlike arrangement This brought his tall back against the rising opposite side and permitted him to throw his arm about the sharp point created by the union of the second back with the upright, which rose from the front of the chair seat. ARMY A BURDEN TO FRANCE. Inter-Ocean: M. Urban Gohier, a prominent journalist of Paris, who has been lecturing at the University of Chicago, has attracted much attention at the Midway institution because of his descriptions of life in Paris and French manners and customs. M. Gohier believes that the French army system is a drag upon the government, and ought to be remodeled and re-established. He favors the fashion of the United States army. He also would have less relationship between church and state than exists at present. He says that Americans and Frenchmen have more in common than Americans and Englishmen, and declares for closer relationship between the United States and France. M. Urbain is the editor of LAureur, and was one of the leaders in securing Dayvus his life. He has written several books dealing with the various aspects of French life. Coincident with the presence of M. Orbain at the University was the rendering of a play yesterday by members of the School of Education in honor of the French national holiday, July 14. The play consisted of two scenes dramatized from stories of the revolution by Thies and Victor Hugo. Among those who took part were Persis Brown, Marion Hopkins, Gorttine Van Horn, Christen, James Van Mirre, Charles Breasted, Herold Kroh, Arthur Merrill, and Charles Cohen. The "Marsellase" was sung by pupils of Miss Eleanor Smith. Only a Silver Dollar It is only a silver dollar—it's grumpy and old and worn; the last that is in my pocket, and it goes for a morning horn, as hundreds have gone before it, as hundreds more may go, for a second of shallow pleasure, an age of remorse and woe. It is only a silver dollar, the last that my eyes may see, and has been kept in the cabinet it came to me; it dated in 67, when I was a boy, and thought that a wretched, small silver dollar was large as a wheel—ah, rot! This dollar in years now vanished perhaps was a boon to one, a boon to some struggling to tell, who groaned 'neath the midday sun; perhaps to the lonely widow who wept for the silent dead, it brought to her room, perhaps, some bread; ah, yes, to the starving children, in hut that knew naught of gold, brought food in the heat of summer, and faggots when days were cold; perhaps they may exist, and fortune and joy and fame, to this dollar of '67, the last that is to my name. Perhaps the Ganges river, some man as a heathen trot, and found the way to God; it brought the play and grace of God; and in erratic travels, it guided a human soul, above all the slums and thenake the rivers of death that roll, thenake the right to spend it? this dollar may sacribe—well, well, it is queer how fancies this morning surge over me! It is queer—the same old craving comes over me as of yore, I craving comes over我 vaccinating—one hand on the gin mille and grace—though close by the chasms's business, I throw on the bar my dollar, and call for the morning drink. -Walt Mason. Losthe Sight of Gold Chicago Tribune: "I have visited the mints of three countries," remarked a traveler, a medical man, "and I have found all the official guides in them broken down in nerve and victims of insomnia. Every one of these officials is required to give bonds, not only for his own honesty, but to cover theft by visitors whom he conducts over the place. It is customary to hand money about among the visitors to coins in the stages of devaluation. If the party be a numerous one the nerves of the guide are strung to such a pitch that at the Hotel de la Monnaie, in Paris, the man confessed that the sight of coined gold and silver was odious to him, and that he had come to look upon every one who visited the mint as a possible robber. Besides the effect upon the nerves, in case of a robber, he affected one of the guides told me that 32 years of continual gazing upon gold and silver had affected his sight so that he is unable to distinguish certain objects unless they possess peculiar iridescent qualities." A portrait of Rear Admiral Clark of Oregon fame, is to be placed in the capitol of Vermont. NOTHING BUT ICE. MURDER OR AN INSURANCE PLOT The Question of the Fate of Coda S, Morris of Mad. son, Kas, Involved in Mystery- Was He Mur- Guthrie, O. T.-Sunday night the fate of Coda S. Morris, of Madison, Kass, was still unknown, as was also the whereabouts of John Cox, who stated Morris was killed in a runaway accident near Orlando last Tuesday, and who presided at the alleged burial of Morris the same day. When the authorities unearthed the coffin Sunday from its grave in the county cemetery it contained nothing but a two-pound cake of ice left from 200 pounds supposed to have been placed in the coffin by Cox. There were 500 people present when the coffin was unearthed. Telegrams inquiring for him continue to come from his wife and from several insurance orders in Madison, of which he was a member, but the local officers are at sea. They believe now that the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Morris relates in some way to the collection of his life insurance policies, but they are unable to fathom it. Descriptions of Cox and Morris have been undertaken and telegraphed all over Oklahoma. A man giving his name as John Cox is under arrest at Chandler, charged with making a gun play, and he has been ordered held for investigation. A Peculiar Express Robbery A Peculiar Express Robbery. Owenborson, Ky.—The agent of the American Express Company at Fordsville, was robbed of $28,000 Friday night under peculiar circumstances. J. W. Boatner, who shipped the money to Fordsville, is under arrest at Irvington, and J. C. Schiltzbaum, the agent of the company, is being held at Falis of Rough. Several days ago a man giving his name of J. W. Boatner, of Memphis, Teen., appeared at the office of the American Express Company at Deanefield, five miles from Fordsville, and wanted to express $28,000 to the police point to the location for it, so then the agent remembered that he was allowed to ship only $5,000 at one time and made him take the cash back. Boatner kept the money until Friday night, when it was sent to Fordsville by express, where it arrived late Friday night. The express agent, it is said, informed a number of people that the money had arrived. It was not put in bank as Mr. Boatner had sent word that he would be there early Saturday morning. Saturday morning Schiltzbaum turned up at Fails or Rough, ten miles away. He stated he was held up, robbed and kidnapped during the night. He first decided to stay at the depot all night, he says, but finally got nervous and started to the hotel, which is only two blocks away. Between the two places he was set upon and robbed of the money by three men. The express people and the officers believe that the whole affair was a conspiracy to defraud the American Express Company out of $28,000. Louisville, Ky. —The money was placed in a package and seamed in the express office in this city and addressed to J. H. Boatner, Fortisville. Boatner was present at the time, paying Agent Burton $14 charges. After he left the express office he called up the agent at Fortisville over the telephone, stating that the money would be out on the next Illinois Central train and that he would call for it that night and be sure not to put it in the bank, but to place it in a safe. Buren, the agent here, knew nothing about this latter transaction. Boatner did not call for the money, giving as an excuse that he was drunk. Boatner has the American Express Company's receipt for $28,000. As soon as the robbery was made known to Agent Burch he at once called up Mr. Hogins, the president, at St. Louis, who notified him to have Boatner arrested. When arrested the money was returned to Boatner refuses to give any history of his family record other than he comes from South America and that his father gave him the $28,000 which he had won on horse races. While here Boatner drank freely. He is about 28 years old and wore glasses, a red necktie and low-cut shoes. His hair was brown and his moustache of a darker hue. His general manner indicated that he was educated and refined. Fight W1 h Outlaws. Florence, Ala.—Deputy Sheriff T. S. White, of Waynesboro, Tenn., had a battle with five men, supposed to be the Tennessee escaped convicts, at the head of Cypress creek, twenty miles north of Florence, Friday evening. When White saw the men he opened fire with his pistol. All five men returned the fire, and White jumped off his horse, using it as a protection. Two men whom White recognized as Gus Hyatt and John Doe stood their ground until their pistols were empty and then ran down the road and joined the other three whom White says he recognized as Fred Seguin, Robert Bridge and James Simpson from photographs sent out by the prison authorities. White left Saturday morning with Sheriff Hill and will make another attempt to capture the men. The Earl of Dudley was sworn in Sunday afternoon as lord lieutenant of Ireland, in succession to Earl Cadogan, resigned, in the council chamber of the castle.

Hitchcock, proprietor of the Omaha World-Herald, has been nominated by the Democrats of the Second Nebraska congressional district. Another series of severe electrical and wind storms passed over Southeastern Iowa Sunday, doing much damage. In the last few weeks the number of barns struck by lightning in that vicinity is over a hundred. Northwestern Missouri suffered in the same way. Two Englishmen and two Zermatt guides were overwhelmed Saturday by an avalanche while ascending the Matterhorn, Switzerland. One of the tourists and a guide were killed. The other members of the party were seriously injured. The King Spoke of "the Gallant andrav Manner" in Which they dared rough London.—The Boer generals, Botha, De Wet and Dearay, who reached here Saturday from South Africa, left London at 9:30 o'clock Sunday morning for Cowes, Isle of Wight, to see King Edward on board the royal yacht Victoria and Albert. The hour of the generals' departure from London was kept secret, consequently the streets were deserted when the three generals, accompanied by their secretaries, but by none of the ladies of their party, started for Cowes. They were stylishly attired in frock coats and silk hats. Upon arriving at Southampton the Boer generals were welcomed on board the commander-in-chief's yacht Wildfire by Earl Roberts and General Lord Kitchener. They immediately visited King Edward on board the Victoria and Albert and were then taken for a trip around the fleet in the Wildfire. They returned to London Sunday evening, accompanied by Earl Roberts and General Lord Kitchener, who took leave of the Boers at Waterloo station. In an interview with a representative of the Associated Press, General Botha's secretary described what his majesty was doing, when the Boers marched boarded the yacht, King Edward came forward, and after they had been introduced, shook hands with each of them. The Boers were highly pleased with their reception. After a brief and informal talk of a non-political character with King Edward, they were introduced to Queen Alexandra and Princes Victoria. The reception by his majesty lasted a quarter of an hour. The king spoke of "the gallant and brave manner" in which the generals had fought through the long and arduous campaign, and of "the consideration and kindness" with which the generals had treated British wounded. His majesty expressed his warm wishes for their future. It was at the king's suggestion that the Boers took the trip around the fleet on board the Wildfire. During the voyage from South Africa General De Wet did not raix much with his fellow passengers. He was engaged most of the time in writing his book on the South African war. In common with his colleagues, snapshot photographs were constantly being taken of him, and he was worried with requests for his autograph until he had to protest against the nuisance. Taking R:sl 8 Topeka.—"Outside corporations doing business in Kansas do not realize what thin ice they are treading on," said Assistant Attorney General West, Saturday. "Searcely any of them have taken out charters in this state as required by the most recent ruling of the supreme court. Many of them complied with the law as first interpreted by the supreme court and really think they are entitled to do business here under protection of Kansas laws, but they are mistaken. In the eyes of the law now they are outaws and have no standing in court whatever. It is safe to say that nine cases out of ten now pending in the courts in which foreign corporations are interested, can be decided against the corporation simply because they have not complied with the foreign charter law. Corporations can ignore the law, if they do. There is no way to compel them to take out a charter, but in failing to do so they are showing poor business judgment. The penalty is a forfeiture of all rights in the courts. They are not protected in any way by the laws. Thus if a person files a suit against a foreign corporation which has no charter, the corporation can make no defense and the plaintiff can take judgment by default. On the other hand a corporation cannot prosecute a case against any one. It is simply barred from any rights. Some of the big corporations which have heavy bills against business men of this state could not collect a cent on them if the business men saw fit to repudiate the claims. When a few of the corporations get hit hard on some big claims perhaps corporations in general will wake up and take out charter. It seems that they must be taught: a severe lesson first." Kansas Exhibit at Butte Topeka.—Kansas mine operators are preparing to make a big exhibit of Kansas minerals at the international congress at Butte, Mont., September 1-5. United States Senator Clark, of Montana, is deeply interested in the meeting and will pay out of his own pocket all freight charges for mineral exhibits sent there.

A Live v Rate War Houston, Tex.—Five hundred tickets were sold to Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City Saturday afternoon at startling prices. The liveliest sort of war was indulged in by ticket brokers. This was the outgrowth of a fight between the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, international & Great Northern, Celtic, Santa Fe and other lines of Northern passenger business.

Grant gave the girl who brought the ear $10 in cash and five baskets apples. She then took the prize hour and divided up equally with the other girls.

Ella Barrett, a 12-year old daughter of William Barrett, a farmer at Overbrook, Kas, acquired the habit of pulling hairs from her head and chewing and swallowing them. Her health began to fail. She was taken to a Topeka hospital where an operation was performed Saturday. It revealed the fact that the intestine was clamped with a bunch of hair an inch in diameter and five inches long. The girl is improving. It was the first operation of that character ever brought to the attention of Topeka surgeons. Sunday was the hottest day of the year in Nebraska, the temperature ranging from 69 to 102. At Fairbanks for six hours it was over 100, and bad winds were blowing. Corn in places is badly in need of rain. Terrific storms occurred in different party of Kentucky Saturday. Failed and Cayce report tornadoes doing more damage in hospital facilities. At Fine Forest were killed by contact with wires frown were killed by contact with wires that had been blown down.

Moreover, he percleved that a citizen of a great coun- try like Frence was a more important person than a colonial. His assumption of nationality made tilm the object of some national aversions, as well as wearer of national glories, and thereby Ied to study the history of the ancestral land, he debated the Alsace-Lorraine question as hotly as any Chanvinist. In these discnssions he had the support of the Danes, who, having a German land- grabbing war to remember, dislike the Germans quite as much as do_ the French, and the Norwegians, who thor- oughly sympathize with Denmark. Le- Verrier’s Danish sweetheart could see no good in these discussions, ‘They had actually brought about a bitterness be- tween the Scandinavians, led by LeVer- rler and the Germans, for the original disagreement on the extension of the German frontier had become a disagree- ment on all subjects and were carried into business and social life. “How can Thelp tt?” said LeVerrier, in answer to Olga’s expostulations, “Germany robs France and Denmark of Jand and then says she is right. How can T keep still when those Germans say that?” “Well, if you would drop_ it they would,” said Olga, “Don't you see the trouble it makes? It will hurt your business.” LeVerrier laughed. “It has never been bigger. ‘They have to come to me.” LeVerrier was right. He was tho only dealer in farm machinery in town, and there not being enough patronage to support two concerns he had little fear of a rival. Nevertheless, that day he recetyed disquiting news. Jens Mor- tenson, who owned the lumber yard, wished to sell out and the Germans were trying to get some one of their number to buy the yard and putin farm machinery, too. With all the lumber trade and half the machinery trade he would easily force out LeVer- rier. LeVerrier must buy the yard him- self, but he did not have enough money. It being the depth of hard times, it was hardly likely that anyone else in the village could raise the $2,000 cash down which Mortenson demanded as. first payment. This proved to be the case, but LeVarrier’s relief did not last long, for he learned that an attempt was bo- ing made to secure small sums from a large number. ‘The pleasure of saying “I told you so” afforded Olga some solace in the midst of the threatening trouble, though her wedding day was heing postponed. Lo- Verrier bore up bravely. There was a good chance that no German would buy the yard. Then there was his rich uncle. “Your rich uncle?” asked Olga. “Jean Baptiste LaRousse, of Quebec. I never told yon of him for fear it might raise faise expectations, He is bachelor worth $80,000, and before my mother died he told her he would divide his property when he died, half for me, half for the church.” “How is it raising false expectations to tell me of this?) He has promised you the money.” “When he dies. ‘The false expecta- tions are that he die. The French of Canada live long. My great-grandfath- er died at 102, my grandfather at 103, therefore my uncle will live to be 104. I shall write and ask him to give me $2,000 now and all the rest of his money to the church when he dies. But wheth- er he will do it, T cannot say; I have naver even geen him. As a stroke of policy I will Invite him to visit me, but he will never come way out here.” ‘Two weeks passed and the rich uncle was not heard from. The Germans gave an entertainment to raise a bonus for the lumber yard purchaser, and dur- ing its progress a pumpkin was hurled through a window, an act attributed to LeVerrler by some, but more generally, and, as it appeared, correctly, to Schar- ascheffsky. At the beginning of the third week LeVerrler was coming out of the postofiice, when he ran full tilt into a stranger, who muttered his an- noyanee in the French language. Engerly, timldly, LeVerirer seanned the middle-aged man before him. It must be, it must be his uncle. What other Frenchman would be In Blue River, and ‘at this time, too?” “My uncle!” exclaimed LeVerrier, in French. “Your uncle!” replied the stranger, arawing back. “ thonght you must be my uncle, Jean Baptiste LaRousse, of Quebec, Whom T wrote asking to visit me, but if you sre not—" ‘"Walt,” sald the stranger, with a bland smile. “You must know that m- postures are frequently played. Tell me all ahout yourself and myself, and then I will be sure you are the nephew Thaven’t seen for so long that I do not remember him.” “Why mother said yon had never seen me,” said LeVarrier, and proceed- ed to give a full account of everything and when he finished the stranger ‘erled: “You are indeed my nephew.” ‘When it became known that the rich uncle had come to buy the lumberyard for LeVerrier, the Germans ceased their efforts, and the uncle himself. making the nequaintance of people of all de- scriptions, became very popular. Es- pecially did he cultivate the station agent and Mr. Schlattmann, proprietor of the little bank. A branch road was aa all Hila: Een © paler Ci ished, and a great gang of laborers was encamped north of the village. Blue River being a junction point, would grow and a larger bank be necessary and he proposed partnership to Mr. Schlattmann and as an earnest of his Intentions, deposited $2,000 in the safe, and forthwith was tanght the combina tion. A week after the uncle's arrival, three friends of his came from Chicaz0, Messrs. Heald, Ford and Kenney, eapi- talists seeking investment led by letters from him. . “Yon do not kriow,” sald La Rousse to his three friends, patting his nephew on the back, “what an advantage it has been having a nephew here. ‘The people ‘Know him, he knows me. No shade of distrust, a complete bnsiness _under- standing and knowledge of the situation that Is worth a great deat to us.” ‘As TeVerier went to the office next morning, his attention was attracted by a large crowd at the depot. A most startling thing had happened. During the night, the hank had been robbied of all Its money, and $10,000 brought to the depot by the railway paymaster to pay off the construction forre had been taken, too. ‘The paymaster and his assistant had bean fond bound and gagged In the depot when the station agent went up to the midnight train, Detectives had been sent for and came fon a special train. Snspteion pointed clearly to Messrs. Heald, Ford and Kenney, for they had disappeared, and to La Ronsse, too, should he prove to have disappeared, Uncle Jean had not heen at breakfast and LeVerrier turned to go home to see what it meant. Among the fears in his mind was not the fear that his uncle was aeriminal, ‘only the fear lest cireumstances seem to make him so. As he neared his honse, he saw slowly coming up the road a most dilapidated eqnipage. Tt was his own carriage, tne rear wheel broken in two, the horse with harness twisted awry. Like a flash it came over him. Unele Jean had gone for a morning drive. ‘There had been a run- away and he had been tnjured. Hs ab sence might be construed as complicity with the robbery. He must be gotten home before anyone discovered his ab- sence. ‘As LeVerrter hastened down the road, he never once cast a glance be- hind him to seo a ittle, Itthe man who trotted as he trotted, walked as he walked, keeping him ever in view. A mile was traversed before he arrived at the scene of the accident. On the right side of the carthen embankment that formed the approach to the bridge over the Blue River, were the marks where the carriage had slipped, togeth- er with bits of the broken wheel, and from the midst of some bushes at the river side, he heard someone groaning. “Uncle Jean,” he called. Tnstantly the groans cefised. The young fellow rode to the bank of a little down stream on the opposite side, hitched his horse and stripping, plunged fn and swam away down stream. “Unele Jean,” called LeVerrler. Still there was no answer and now the dis tance from the swimmer to the horse was greater than the distance from the horse to the bridge. ‘There was a splash, Kerehug, and there was Uncle Jean in the river, trying to drown him- Self on account of the pain he was tn. With a swift leap down the bank, Le- Verler was in the water and after him, while a voice from the rond shouted: “Catch him before he gets to the horse, oF he'll eseape.”” Unele Jean was no. swimmer com- pared to LeVerrior and the latter soon seized him and dragged him ashore, in spite of a strenuous resistance, and presently earried him up the hank, for one leg, terribly sprained, vent under the uncle as he essayed to walk. A Uttle, ithe man serambled down to them and Uncle Jean unresistingly held forth his hands to recelve a pair of handcuffs, while LeVerrier looked on, too much surprised to speak. “You have won $1,500 by capturing this man," said the detective, “He ts Verbeckmoes, the Belgian forger and thief, wanted In three countries. Bel- glum has 2 price of $1,000 on him ana the railroad offers $500.” So this is the way the rich uncle turned out. ‘The real uncle never an= swored LeVerrier's letter. but the $1,500 and the $100 he got helping four others capture Kenney was accepted by Mor- {enson as a satisfactory first payment, and LeVerrier led Olga to the altar. BEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD. New Anecdote on Secretary Shaw Has ‘Made Its Appearance. A new Shaw anecdote has made its appearance. It ts published in this week's issue of the Saturday Evening Post, and reads as follows: “Secretary Leslie M. Shaw, the new head of the treasury department, ts in- tensely devoted to his wife and family. In all his public life this fact has been noted by those who have had an on- portunity to observe closely his rela- tions of a more personal nature. ‘The spirit of companionship between the secretary and Mrs. Shaw is quite de- Hghtful, and it is safe to say that the following story cannot be duplicated In public life In Washington: “Shortly after his election as gover- nor of [owa, and while Mrs. Shaw was still at the family home in Denison, the governor one day scrawled this address on an envelope containing a Tong letter which he had just written to his wife: «To the Best Woman in the World, “Denison, Towa.” “All there was to indicate the origin of the communication were the words, ‘Bxeentive Office, State of Towa,’ up in one corner of the envelope, but Mrs. Shaw got that letter on time, and the postmaster at Denison smiled as he tossed the bulky package into the Shaw box. He did not hesitate for a min- ute, for Mrs, Shaw had lived in the town for a score of years and had nev- er made an enemy. ‘The postmaster Knew her consideration for other peo- ple’s feelings, her kindness of heart and Consistent wish to do good to those about her. “Thereafter many a similarly in- dorsed missive caused a smile to light the faces of the raflway mail clerks and the postmaster, but the letters never halted for a second when started to the destination. Letters, papers, books and almost everything mailable in various Styles and manners of chirography, without a single thing to Indicate the Origin of the package or the identity of the sender. “Governor Shaw frequently offered to wager with his friends ‘vit any of them could address any mailable pack- age as he had done and it would be de- livered without delay and without any preliminary investigation. His wager was never accepted. for his friends knew that no letter ever delivered in Towa more promptly reached its destination than the ones sent to ‘The Best Woman in the World, Denison, lowa.’” ‘The Rev. J. F. Jordan, a rural Baptist preacher, of ‘Transylvania county, N.C., is doing his best to deserve the nick- name which has been conferred upon him down there—that of “Stormy Jor- dan.” A year ago he led a raid against moonshiners and helped destroy a still.

OM OT hit: QUOA-. “Rie pisttineer: dvamasaen’ : SO i] tric fans overhead buzzed with a giddy whirr, and there was a dancer on the Stage who was good to look upon. Al- together, Martin's was a_much more Pleasant place to be than in the sultry atmosphere oxtside, “That girl,” sald Brown, slowly, eye- ing the dancer through curling clouds of smoke, as she snapped her eastenets, and twisted her lithe figure in. the Thythmic measures of a Spanish air, “reminds me of a woman T knew in Cuba.” “Is It a story, Brown?” questioned Lester. “gg Well, rather,” our friend replied, emphatically. “Like to hear it?” We assented eagerly, for Brown's Storles were usually worth Istening to. “As T sald beforo,” he began, ‘it was in Cuba. 1 was there for the paper, Just before the Spanish-American war broke out, and T saw the conflict through. Most of the time, after hos- tillties were declared, I was all over the Island, wherever the flehting was, Dut at first I was quarterod at Havana, nd ft was there that I knew Antonia, “She had come from Paris and was dancing at the Tacon theater. The city was mad over her, after the fash- on of the Latin race, and, in fact, she made even my phlegmatie ‘Anglo-Saxon blood run quicker than ‘was Its wont. She was hardly beautiful, though I have hever seen such eyes before, or since. She had a small wicked face, was slen- der almost to thinness, and not very tall. Rut to see her dance! am sure no one has equalled her, Every motion was daring, pootical, and possessed the very esconce of grace. She was abso- lutely mistress of her art, and of her audiences, “I don’t know what she was, but mostly Spanish blood, although some sald she had a strain of French—some said Arabian, and some even hinted at the African, but whatever her nation- ality, her magnetism was marvelous. “The gallants flew wildly at her fect. She was looked upon with horror by the chureh, although it was sald—bnt never mind that. She tantalized her overs, laughed at them, filted them, Yet chained them to her. Among her most constant admirers was General Ruiz, of the Spanish army. He seemed to be more favored than the others, but was Insanely Jealous, in fact bereft of all reason, /“Politieal matters were very much -stratned—feeling between" Spaniards ‘and the Cubans had reached its highest pitch. Not a day passed without a duel, ora quarrel, or an arrest, Yet in spite of this, Antonina danced every night to a crowded house, and the pleasure lov. Ing city. although _honey-combed by plots and tntrigues, forgot, for the mo- ment, all save the moment's enjoyment “The man most dreaded by the Span- ish officials was one Juan Sanchez, an Insurgent leader. He was the son of a wealthy planter who had figured prominently ina former outbreak, and had been exiled to Centa, Spain's penal colony in Africa, ‘The son, growing to manhood and finding himself an out- cast, embraced the rebel cause and had made himself troublesome. THe had gathered his recruits from neighboring provinces, and lived in the mountains, evading every effort of the government to canture him, “I do not know how it came about. but Ruiz. evolved the Idea of effecting his capture through Antonina, The general possessed a diamond of enor- mous value, a family Jewel, and this he promfsed to the woman {f she would Jure the ontlaw to her house, Antonina had long coveted the stone, and had tried every one of her wiles to obtain It, so It can be understood that. she readily promised to attempte the task. “It might be thought that this was ‘a most difficult undertaking, but Ruiz had his spies everywhere, and Antoni- na her willing slaves. One night, when Sanchez was In the city on a’ secret mission, he was taken to the theater, by one of his own friends, to sce An: fontna dance; was Introduced to her after the performance, and, Ike all tho others, foll under her spell, To a man of his character no half-way method was possible. She dismlased the other of her admirers, and rumor soon spread that Sanchez rode in every night and openly visited her at her house. “This was what Rulz was waiting for, and one evening the place was sur- rounded and Sanchez taken prisoner. He was, of course, sentenced to be shot. “Antonina, apparently, thought no more of the matter. She appeared at the theater on the following eventng, and had never been more charming. The story of her share in the rebels ‘capture got about ,and she was cheered whenever she was seen by the loyalists, Ruiz was more infatuated than ever, and was more than helpless in her hands. “The day that Sanchez was to he exe- cuted Antonina demanded of Ruix that he should gain permission for her to sec her former lover alone.

We watched her with deep drawn breaths. and dizzy brains, as she whirled herself from the Ingy ianguor of the beginning to the mad abandon ‘at the end. Ruiz, unable to contain his emotions. caught up a flower that had. dropped from her hair, and, unmindful of observers, Kissed it. She saw the action, and with a sidelong glance tore the searlet scarf from her waist, and, still dancing, threw it over his neck. Something gleamed in het hand, and some instinct warned me of mischief. I stepped to Ruiz's side. Antonina stretched out her hand, and. held me back, and if ever 1 saw the devil look ont from a woman's eyes, T saw it shin= ing then between her helf closed lips. “ ‘Adios, companeros,’ she said in clear. ringing tones, ‘T go to walt for you in hell,” “With a swift motion she buried the dagger. which had been concealed in her hand. in her heart ,and as the last strains of the muste died away she fell appearance in such a place, I followed her, but soon she disappeared down a narrow side street, and belng unfamll- far with that part of the town, T lost track of her. “Next day I was called away from the city, and when T returned T found the social world fn a state of expectation over @ grand reception to be given by General Rulz In honor of some of the American officers. The chief attraction was the announcement that Antonina had been engaged to dance for the en- tertainment of the guests. I deter- mined to accept my Invitation, as the woman possessed a great attraction for me. T was present at the reception. to the floor, the wicked smile frozen on her mouth. “Three weeks later, General Rulz. and every one of his subordinate officers died of the most malignant Kind of smallpox. Antonina had searched un- til she had found a case, as we atter- ward discovered—had exposed San- chez's sword belt to the Infaction, and thus carried the Infection to Rutz, gain= {ng a vengeance which few bratns could have evolved. She had loved the man whose life she had sold for a Jewel.” “Why did she take her lie?” ques- toned Lester. “That,” answered Brown, “was a phase of her character which T found had to understand, though T belleve that she preferred death to the loss of her charms, and knew that she surely must have had the dread disease her- self, To me the most wonderful thing about her was that she could love 80 Intensely, aud never by word or sign be- tray herself. even when she say him dle, and knew that she was responsible for his death, ‘That Is something T have never seen in any other woman, and gave evidence of a will that could have moved empires, kad t not spent all its energy on one man.” GREAT SCHEME DIED WITH HIM The Ship Railway Project at Te- ‘huantepea. Denver Times: “But for the death of Eads, the great engineer, who planned and was In processing of executing at the time of his sudden demise his won- derful ship railway project at the isth- mus of Tehuantepec, In Mexico, there would haye ben no Panama canal,” said C,H. Merrill, a mining engineer, at the American, who has just returned from that part of Mexico. “It was ads’ scheme to have vessels navigate tho river Cordova as far as possible and then by means of a dry dock of his own Invention have them picked up and taken on railway carralges across the isthmus to Salina Cruz and thence by water again into the Pacific. It was a very feasible scheme, but the sudden death of the engineer precluded the pos- sibllity of carrying it on for he had tn ventions that would have been applied to the enterprise that he did not ex- plain to any one and thus the chain was Jost forever. He Is regarded by the people down there as the greatest man In his line who ever lived. He built the famous Mississippl jetties at New Or- Jeans, which stand today as a monu- ment” to his great brain and pluck, ‘There are thousands of Americans now profitably engaged on the sugar, coffee, rubber and cocoa plantations In the Mextean isthmus, which, you know, 1s a tropieal country, and one of the most fertile on earth.

Undesirable consulships have long given rise to humorous incidents. But Zanzibar, to which the President has appointed Mason Mitchell, a rough rider, seems to be in the lead in an attractiveness, if the length of consular terms proves any test, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. Indiana has usually claimed the honor of furnishing candidates for this place, but after the resignation of a man named Rogers of Shoales, the Indiana senators notified the President that they were through with it. They had constituents who were willing to take chances, but the senators were not prepared to promise that these tense individuals would stay more than a month. Before Rogers took the place it was held for nearly a year by "Bob" Mansfield, at one time privilege and now consult at Valparaiso. Mansfield came back, according to Mansfield descriptions, as thin as a toothpick and as yellow as June butter." He said he had stuck it out as long as the insurance company would let him, and that he returned to save his premiums. Before Mansfield, there was an Indianian named Billheimer, described as a husky Hooster, with a large nose and frame pickled in maleria. He was cured of diplomatic ambition in about two months, and has never asked for a place since Before Billheimer, Judge Riley of Virginia served; he remained as long as his aversion to the negroes would permit. Finally, he is said to have taken a gun and emptied a load of fine birdshot into the dusky natives who persisted in taking a daily bath in front of the American consulate which, the Judge "allowed," was an indignity to be resented by this government's representative. HE LIKES FRIED POTATOES Grand Duke Alexis Has a Favorite Dish, So They Say. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is very fond of fried potatoes, and during his recent visit to Paris he was wont to buy a few every day from a woman in the street and to eat them beside her stall. The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very anxious to find out who he was. "I can tell you who he is," said a neighbor one day. "He is Grand Duke Alexis, uncle of the czar and one of the greatest men in Russia." Utterly amazed, the woman asked: "In heaven's name, how should I address him?" "Oh, call him 'Your Excellency', or 'Your Royal Highness,' was the answer. The woman resolved to do so, and the next day, as she was sprinkling some salt over the smoking potatoes which the grand duke had bought, she said: "I can recommend them to your royal highness, for I know your excellency has never tasted better potatoes." The grand duke burst out laughing, and paid more for the potatoes than he had ever paid before, but he was annoyed at finding himself recognized and never returned to buy another potato. Girard Was Considerate. One of the sea captains in the employ of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee's fondness for whitling with his jackknife, and on one trip succeeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistic sense, he really regarded the rail as greatly improved in appearance. When the vessel came to Philadelphia Girard went aboard, made a general inspection in the captain's absence, and, as he was about to return to shore, asked one of the seamen who had been cutting the rail. The seaman told him the captain, and then, afraid his telling might have unpleasant consequences were the captain to learn of it in a roundabout way, informed that official of the interview with Girard. The captain was in terror of a reprimand, but, hearing nothing from his employer, supposed the incident closed. As he was about weighing anchor ready to leave port, a dray loaded with shingles drove down to the wharf, and the driver hailed the vessel. "There must be some mistake! shouted the captain. "Our bill of lading doesn't mention shingles!" "This is where they belong!" sung back the driver. "Mr. Girard, himself, told me to deliver them! He said they're for the captain to whittle!" Gillette a Real Sherlock Holmes William Gillette, whose impersonation of Sherlock Holmes has become so famous, has acquired much of the running of the character he portrays, and on being interviewed by the newspaper reporters extracts from them all they know without himself imparting any information. On his return from Europe the other day all the Boston scribes sought to learn of his future plans, but were obliged to abandon the effort. A cheerful telephone story is reported from Vienna. A young woman of Magyar-Czernya in Hungary was called upon the long-distance telephone by her sweetheart in the town of Taba. He said: "Would you like to hear how I shoot myself?" Then she heard the sound of a shot. It was found afterward that the man had really killed himself. A house built of buttons is the latest thing in architecture, and a certain French musical celebrity is building it. The walls, the cellings, the doors, exterior and the interior are all ornamented with buttons of every description. Every country has been ransacked and some very curious specimens are reported to have been brought to light. The king has already ordered the coronation Bible from the British and Foreign Bible Society, to be used in Westminster Abbey in June. It will be a large quarto volume, bound in red morocco, with gold clasps and stamped with the royal arms. It will become the property of the bishop who administers the caths. London's Catholic Cathedral. The Roman Catholic cathedral in London, now in course of erection, is 360 feet long and 156 feet wide. Apart from the site, it has already co- $750,-000. The material used is red brick, with Portland stone courses, and its Oriental decorative features, it is said, suggest a mosque rather than a cathedral. Three gunboats of twelve-knot speed constitute the invincible navy of Uruguay, a force which would have a hard time with the mobilized fleet of Sham, which has two 800-ton corvettes, six gunboats, a 2,500-ton deck-protected cruiser armed with fourteen guns, and a 650-ton cruiser. 400,000 Jews in Afrikan. A writer in the Jewish World gives the total number of Jews in Africa at 400,000, of whom 20,000 have located in South Africa, where, says the writer, the most solid and tangible results have been attained by Jewish pioneers in all branches of development. Ex-soldiers will in future be employed as clerks in all departments of the British war office. Preference will be given to such as possess first-class certificates of education, or have been invalidated from active service by wounds or sickness. The vote of Nevada fluctuates very little. In 1892 it was 10,878; in 1894, 10,508; in 1896, 10,305; in 1898, 10,011, and in 1900, 10,196. No other state in the Union has such a record of an undeviating vote as has Nevada. Lucky to Be in Jail. The believers in the thirteen idiocy are now citing cases of the man with thirteen wives who was sent to jail the other day, as if a man with thirteen wives were not in good luck to get safely inside a jail. The white convicts employed on the breakwater at Capetown are sending a loyal address to King Edward, praying his clemency on the occasion of the approaching coronation.

Paper Mills in America --- Birthday of a Nation The new Australian federal government is appointing a Commonwealth Day on the lines of the American Independence Day. It is now engaged in weighing the claims of July 1, when Queen Victoria assented to the constitution; September 30, the date of the proclamation; January 1, the inauguration of the Commonwealth, and May 9, the date of the Duke of Cornwall's opening of the first federal parliament. The January date is the one most favored. Holland and Its Colonies The hold that Holland has on its East Indian colonies is rather precarious. The Archon war, stretched over well-nigh thirty years, is having a period of recrudescence that will sadly try Dutch resources. The Jambl war has also kept the Hollanders busy. Strange to say, in both districts the Dutch troops are doing what the Dutch condemn in South Africa—burning farms. They are even destroying whole villages. Henrik Ibsen's Early Life Henrik Theen fifty years ago was serving behind the counter of a country drug store. The dispensing of medicines, however, did not suit tastes of the celebrated Norwegian, and during his apprenticeship he was hard at work reading for the profession of a doctor. In order to eke out a very small salary he took to writing, with what result the whole world knows. Fortunate Child. In the town of Manzanares, in Spain, the birth of the first year of this century was curiously honored by the municipality. Having recognized the claims of the expiring year by paying the funeral expenses of the last inhabitant of the town to die in it, the local authority undertook to bear the cost of the education of the first child born in the new year. Lakes in Arid Australia Subterranean lakes have recently been discovered in the Euclia district, Australia. They lie about thirty feet below the surface and contain an abundance of water. This discovery is of the greatest practical importance to this especially arid district. It is of scientific value also, as it affords an explanation of the disappearance of certain rivers. Robbery by Wholesale. A remarkable robbery has been committed at Bird's Island, near Toulon. There was on the island a bed containing 100,000 two-year-old oysters. They were safe at a recent date, but on the proprietor visiting the place again seven days later the whole stock had been cleared without any clue to the robbers be discoverable. Flying Not a New Idea Flying is not a twentieth century idea. As far back as 1273 Friar Bacon predicted that flying would "shortly" become a general practice and Bishop Wilkins in 1652 said: "It will yet be as usual to hear a man call for his wings when he is going on a journey as it is now to hear him call for his boots."

The atmospheric ocean surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by giganetic waves, which are invisible except when they carry parts of the air charged with moisture up into a colder atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs. In this manner long, parallel lines of clouds sometimes make their appearance at a great height, marking the crests of a ripple of air waves running miles above our heads.—Chicago Chronicle. Asphalt Payments About twenty-five years ago government engineers decided to pave Pennsylvania avenue in Washington with asphalt. That was the beginning of the general use of the scientific mystery for street pavements. To-day over 242,000,000 square feet of street pavements in the United States and Canada are covered with asphalt. This asphalt pavement would make a boulevard twenty-six feet wide over 1,750 miles long and would reach from New York to New Orleans, and then have several miles for side streets.
