The American Citizen

Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country Mayor W. H. CRADDOCK. Never in the history of Wyandotte county has there been such a stir in the political world as is being evinced as we go to press, the object of this all is to defeat Mayor Craddock the man who stands pledged in the peoples interest for governor of Kansas. He has made such a sweeping fight for justice and right in behalf of the common people that harbors of money is rolling in, helping to buy everything in sight and thwart the people in their efforts to get a hearing. $3,000 has been apportioned to buy Negro notes and it is figured by the Republicans that they can be bought from $1,00 to $5,00 a piece. The Negroes have been graded in three classes-Those that control only their own vote a dollar to a dollar and a half. Those who have a litte pull from two to three and a half. Those who have to $25.00 now we people irrespective down upon such acts are bent and determined or Craddock. The under obligations to corporations and all his put forth to do. Are the sacred rig be trampled under money powers. Lets up whatever the old odeits. Let it be said that are too dear to be be May God help you induction of allowing the such a death grip on The Next County Attorney. Hon. Jno. E. McFadden the democrat is nominee for County attorney needs no elaborate introduction. Those of our readers who have watched our columns are thoroughly acquainted with his qualities. He is the present councilman from the 2nd ward. His record has been at every turn in the interest of the people. He is eminently known as a man of his word, true to the last towards his friends be they black or white. He will be elected is a sure thing—Then to be with a winner, a good man, a competent man, an all around hustler and a lawyer of unquestioned ability—note for Jno. E. McFadden for County attorney. The Next Congressman. Noh. Han L.B.Bowman, that excellent young man who aspires for congress from the 2nd district is entitled to the consideration of the voters of this district because he is a man, who stands for something and if elected will be heard in behalf of the people of this district. He will stand for them because he is one of them. He will make a record for doing something, which is more than can be said of the present incumbent who desires re-election-Let every voter ask himself for what. He has accomplished anything in the peoples behalf—Let us be honest who can tell you what it is. We all want men that stand for some thing to represent us in congress—then it is the duty of all to vote for Bowman who has the make-up and ability to go after and get substantial recognition in our district. For Probate Judge. Another winner Hon. Mason S. Peters the democratic nominee for Judge of the Probate court. His record as congressman from the 2nd district has so introduced him that an introduction at our hands is un-necessary. He has labored so faithfully in behalf of the peoples interest in Wyandotte county that we feel assured the people irrespective of party will show their appreciation by giving him an overwhelming majority. Hon. Mason S. Peters, the candidate for Judge of the Probate court on the democratic ticket should receive an overwhelming vote at the hands of the people. His record as congressman stands with credit - no congressman from the 2nd district ever did as much for the old soldier irrespective of color than he. No official ever did more for Wyandotte county than he. Will we turn him down, No! No an overwhelming chorus goes up. A Poor Man's Friend. Frank Holcomb the democratic nominee for county clerk a man of the people and for the people ought and will, we believe receive the unlimited endorsement and support of all-who believes in doing the right thing. He has demonstrated his loyalty to the people an when a public servant has the moral courage to do this, when it comes the people time he ought never be forgotten. -Vote yourself, tell your neighbor and all your friends to remember Frank Holcomb the man who stands pledged and will do his whole duty. Our County Commissioner We call your attention, voters of Wyandotte county, to the fact for the last time that Hon. R. L. Marshman the republican nominee for county commissioner of the first district. He should receive your votes not because he is identified with one particular party but because he is a man eminent fitted and deserving. His record as mayor showed that he endeavored to do his whole duty by the whole people whatever their color. THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Those who have a big pull from $15.00 to $25.00 now we want to appeal to the people irrespective of color to flown down upon such action. The corporation are bent and determined to defeat Mayor Crackock. The repulic rulant bosses are under obligations to the trusts and corporations and all human efforts are being put forth to do their bidding. Are the sacred rights of the peoples to be trampled under foot by the great money powers. Let's be men and stand up whatever the odds for our best interests. Let it be said that our sacred rights are too dear to be bought by gold. May God help you to see the awful condition of allowing the corporations to get such a death grip on us. OUR NEXT SHERIFF. We entreat you kind friends and voters of Wyandotte county to not forget Hon. J. D. Waters the candidate of the democrats and a good, honest and upright citizen of Wyandotte county for sheriff.

Again we call the attention of the voters of Wyandotte county to the name of Hon. J. D. Waters the democratic nominee for sheriff and a man of much reliability.

Waters the candidate for and the new Sheriff of Wyandotte county is a friend to labor and all its interest. Therefore they will stand by him. It is conceded that Mendenhall will run way behind in the race for Sheriff J. D. Waters the peoples candidate will leave him over a thousand votes in the rear.

They regarded the beetle as an emblem of immortality, and hence it was the most popular of all forms of ornament. Counterfeit beetles of common stones were commonly buried with dead persons, and it was customary to engrave upon them the expression of wishes for future repose and happiness, dedications of the soul to God and various glyphics. One of the latter was a hawk with a human head, symbolizing resurrection. Another, the vulture, meant maternity. A goose was the son of a king. "She had just refused a man worth a million."

OUR LAST APPEAL We appeal to the voters of the state and Wyandotte county for the last time. Never did a more grander noble, sincere and thorough gentleman aspire fore office than Mayor Craddock for Governor. In a few more days you will be allowed the'glorious privilege of exercising your manhood by the rights of suffrage It is a question of paramount issue to all, that they vote for men representing the highest type of typical American manhood, men who represent are whom you believe will best interest the common people. We stand committed not only for the best interest of our race whose cause we endeavor to advocate, but that which we believe is to the best interest of the community. In the great United States it is the perogative of any man to vote for who he pleases. In the busy whirl of life, struggling for an existence, few people have the time to become fully cognizant of the issues before the public, nor do they have time or opportunity to become acquainted with the different men in different parties that aspires for office. They therefore must rely on some one or somebody to enlighten them. In these days of political chicanery and false pretention little reliance can be placed on those who are in positions to tell you the truth if they would. Now we would not have you believe that we are the only truthful people, because we are not: slangly speaking—"There are others" Laying all politics aside temporary and meeting you upon the broad plains of American Citizenship meeting you man to man talking to you as a brother, pleading to you in your own behalf what we tell you is nothing less than absolute truth. Back behind all we say is stubborn facts while you read this in a Negro journal—well we must admit that the common people have one common cause—be they white or black what effects one, sooner or later ultimately effects the other We have from time to time extolled the qualities of men we conscientiously feel and in some cases know—who are best fitted and competent to act in the capacity of a public servant. We staid for men and not parties in this struggle now coming on we ask you to support: Mayer W. H. Craddock for Governor, Hon. Noah L. Bowman or Congress, 2nd district, Hon. Jno. E. McFadden for county attorney, Hon. M.S. Peters for Probate judge, Hon. Frank Holcomb for county clerk, R. L. Marshman for county commissioner 1st district. Hon. J.D. Waters for sheriff, D. E. Cornell for the county treasurer, Bet Cooke for Register of deeds, We call you special attention to these. Leaving you to ac- cept what you want of the rest of the two tickeis but asking you to not forget these tried and true we have mentioned. Craddock will be elected Governor by over 15000 majority. McFadden will be elected by 2000- Mrs. Thomas A.

Convicted of First Degree Murder in Kansas City, Kansas. Kansas City, Mo.—Fred Folkenburg, charged with killing his wife in Argentine July 31, was convicted of murder in the first degree in the common pleas court in Kansas City, Kas. Monday afternoon. The case went to the jury at 3 o'clock. After forty minutes deliberation the verdict was returned. Folkenburg wept and moaned while benign taken to the county jail. The technical penalty for murder in the first degree in Kansas is death by hanging. The convicted prisoner must, however, be kept in the state penitentiary one year before the sentence is executed and then it can only be done after the governor signs the death warrants. No governor has ever authorized a death and the penalty has become to be looked upon as imprisonment for life. At 7 o'clock Monday evening Folkenburg's three daughters and his brother-in-law and sister-in-law went to the county jail in Kansas City, Kas, to say good-bye. They had left the court house at the conclusion of the arguments and gone to Argentine to prepare for their return to Winfield, Kaa. When they met Folkenburg all began to weep. Folkenburg repeatedly assured his daughters that he knew nothing of the killing of their mother. John Sanders, the brother-in-law, had assisted the state in the prosecution, and Daisy and Maggie Folkenburg, 37 and 14 years old, respectively, were the principal witnesses. Fred Fokenburg was charged with shooting his wife in the head, as she lay on her bed in their home in Argentina about 3 o'clock on the morning of July 31. The daughters testified that their parents had quarreled, and a neighbor said she saw Fokenburg practicing with a revolver a few days before the shooting. Fokenburg had confessed to several persons that he had intended to commit suicide, and that at his wife's request he shot her, and these statements were introduced in evidence. A claim voyant, who had warned Fokenburg that his wife we unfaithful, was supposed to have influenced him in his discouraged state of mind. The defense was insanity. Two Republican Ticke's Cape Girardeau county will have two county tickets in the field this fall. Each will support the regular state nominees, but have separate county tickets. A petition containing 1,005 names was presented to Secretary of State Cook Monday for the nomination of an independent ticket for that county with the Republican state nominees on it, and with C. G. Thilenius as a candidate for representative, and a complete county ticket. Thilenius has been the Republican representative of that county for several years. He was turned down by the recent convention, and his name the most likely as an independent candidate. The nomination was certified to the secretary of state in order that the regular Republican state nominees go on the ballot. This ticket practically insures the election of the entire Democratic ticket in that Republican county. Two Dead. Springfield, Ill.—Two men were killed, four fatally and others seriously injured Monday afternoon in an explosion in a building, Pawnee, eight miles from here. The dead: W. V. Overcash, aged 30, single. Michael Yorja, aged 27, single. Fatally injured: Frank Isaacs, aged 14, breaker boy, drying. Peter Green, head and body crushed. John Burke, frightfully bruised. George Worley, bruised and burned. Others injured were Daniel Reece, John Dick, William Sparling, John Pick, Peter Cerowich, Jerome Sproule, Thomas King, Joseph Brennan, who had been injured just before the day force of 190 men went off duty and was caused by too much powder in a blast, the concussion causing coal dust, which thickly overhung the mine, to explode with great force. Curious Resemblance A curious resemblance exists between ex-Speaker Reed and Pat Sheedy, the noted gambler—especially odd from the fact that, though the big lawyer is often mistaken for the sporting man, the latter is very seldom honored by the reverse error. Mr. Reed sometimes has considerable difficulty in making it clear that he knows naught of horse racing, card games and other sinful amusements. Every man must blow his own horn nowadays, and judicious advertising is the great horn that enables many to make themselves heard in the din of competition—Jewelers' Circular-Weekly. BIRTH RATE THAT ALARMS. A Condition Similar to that in France Teists in England. A few years ago statistics from the French census concerning the birth-rate in that country caused no little amount of discussion. It was shown that during the past five years the population had not increased except by a fraction of 1 per cent, the total gain for the whole nation being only 39,000. The excess of deaths over births in 1900 was about 26,000. In the five preceding years Germany gave over 4,000,000 inhabitants. Figure 12 shows the census bulletins of Great Britain in not counting the attention of students. A comparison shows that practically the same condition exists in England as in France. While the situation is not as bad, the tendency is in the same direction. In the decade between 1841 and 1851, 35 children were born for every 1,000 inhabitants. In 1861-71 the ratio reached 37, while in thelowing ten years the average was in every 1,000. A steady decline occurred since 1881, until according to the last census, it was 31.57 per 1,000. In some sections of the country the ratio was below the French average. At the same time it must be remembered that the death rate in England has decreased. In the last decade, the decline was 1.7 per 1,000. This, however, does not offset the decrease of 2.67 in the birth-rate for the corresponding period. Migration figures show that Great Britain receives more people than leave. If the tide should set the other way and the birth-rate continue to decrease, Britsiders would have good reason for alarm. Fortunately, the girdr率 in the United States has not reached the point of decline. There are portions of the country not covered in England, where large families are the exception. In the Middle West, the ratio is maintained in a healthy manner. It will probably be many years before the people of the United States will have cause to regret a decrease in the birth-rate.—St. Louis University TAKEN AS AN OMEN. When the Hangman's Rope Broke All Said Purdy was Inpocent. "Although I never saw but one hanging, I witnessed a sight that even professional hangmen have not seen," said A. A. Albrechton of Columbus, Miss. "it was at my home. A youngississinian named Purdy had been convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to hang. The evidence was wholly circumstantial, and before he was accused of that crime the young man had borne an excellent reputation. He was also connected by marriage with some of the best people in the city. Nevertheless, he was sentenced to hang and the govern- would not reprieve him. There were two factions in the community, one believing him guilty, and the other considering him innocent. The latter talked of rescue, but it was all talk. "The scaffold was not inclosed and when young Purdy ascended the gallows he walked erect and fearless. He denied his guilt, and all who saw him were compelled to admit his bearing was that of an innocent man. The black cap was pulled over his face, the sheriff pulled a lever, and the next we saw was a man getting up from the ground, snatching the black cap from his hand and declaring dramatically: God has proved my innocence." The rope had broken. That was enough. Former enemies turned into adherents, and before the sheriff could again take his prisoner to the gallows and get another rope he was in the center of a crowd of thousands of people, all of whom were swearing there were not sheriffs enough in Mississippi to hang an innocent man." Purdy was taken home, and an escort of 250 armed and determined men went with him and remained until there was no danger of any further proceedings. In eight formalities the matter was allowed to drop, and Purdy is living 18 miles from Columbia, respected and happy. "Joy almost killed his wife when she saw him alive at the time she expected his corpse to be brought home. To say Purdy is guilty is now almost as much as a man's life is worth down there."-Denver Post. A GREAT FLEA EXPERT. A Rothschild who Has Ten Thousand of the Bugs. A special cable from London informs us that Charles Rothschild, second son of Lord Rothschild, has 10,000 fleas. Mr. Rothschild is only 25 years of age, but it is probable that he has more fleas today than any other human. The number of Rothschild's fleas are of almost all varieties. He has fleas that came from the tropics and fleas that have been captured in the Arctic region. It must not be supposed that young Rothschild has fleas as a dog has them. The gentleman has his in cages. He is in fact the greatest flea expert in the world, having devoted his life to the study and science of fleas. He has been able to do this because of his family's vast wealth and the lack of anything else that it is necessary for him to exercise upon. The world may say that collection fleas are calculated to help civilization or improve social conditions, but on the other hand it cannot be denied that a flea expert may be less dangerous to the community than a boy who wants to kill people with his automobile. Therefore let us give young Mr. Rothschild and his fleas the honor they deserve.—Chicago Record-Herald. Ambassador Choate has recovered completely from an attack of influenza, and is back again at his desk in the embassy at London.

WIT AND HUMOR OF THE DAY. One Conversation That Was Heard by Central. I never tell what I hear. If we 'phones did we should be taken directly out of thouse. But this incident is so different from any other I ever had, and shows man in such a characteristic light, that I am going to tell it: She: "Hello! Who is this please?" He: "I don't you know my voice?" She: "I don't you do you?" He: "Dear voice! Are you surprised to get my letter asking you to call me up?" She: "What is that buzzing noise?" He: "There isn't any. Will you answer my question?" She: "When did you return?" He: "Are--you--glad--that--I--did?" She: "Not too glad." He: "Why? Because I am married?" She: "Where is your wife?" He: "With me." He: "At the 'phone?" He: "No!" She: "I will not deaf. Don't shriek at me so. I hope you are happy." He: "Do you really mean it?" He: "Yes, Why not?" He: "I am not happy. Why didn't you answer my letter telling you that I was going to the Philippines?" He: "I never received it." Central Office: "Fn-ish?" He to you: "You received it? and I thought you had ceased to care Forgive me. I tried to get killed, but couldn't." She: "So married instead!" He: "No wonder you are bitter! Why do you laugh?" She: "Did I?" He: "I thought I heard you." She: "It isn't safe to believe all you hear." He: "You didn't blame me for—" Central Office "Fri-ish?" He: "No Key? Of this line; can't you please?" Mabel, are you there? Well, then, you don't blame me? You have reason to think me fickle, weak. Hello!" She: "Not at all. You appear perfectly masculine and natural. If I were bitter should I have 'phoned?'" He: "You are just the same constant, generous girl you always were! There is no one quite like you. You are different from all other women—absolutely unchanging. And you really forgive me! There! You are laughing!" She: "Gon'on." He: "Let me see you just once—if only for a second—anywhere." She: "At church?" He: "Do you remember how we used to meet at church?" He: "Wednesday? (Some one is listening on this line.) Is this Lent?" She: "No. It's my wedding." He: "Your what?" She: "Wedding." He: "Wedding! Then you never cared for me. You are like all women—fickle. Stop that buzzing noise, can't you, Central?" Central Office: "Fm-ish?" He: "—— Yes!" But it was not buzzing. That is the noise telephones make when they laugh—Belle M. Walker in Brandur Magazine. THE MISSOURI MULE.

An Order From Dana. Charles A. Dana's representative "at the front during the war of the rebellion was Joseph Howard, who once wired to the paper on account of a battle beginning as follows: "To God be all the glory! Mine eyes have seen the work of the Lord; and the cause of the righteous hath triumphed." This exorcium went on at some length, and then switched into the follow-up statement of facts: "The Army of the Potomac has triumphed. We have won a great victory." A few days later Howard received a note from Dana reading as follows: "Hereafter, in sending your reports, please specify the number of the hymn, and thus save telegraph tolls."—Philadelphia Ledger The department of zoology of the University of Chicago has bought a collection of 50,000 insects.

The Shubert Brothers new theatre at twenty-ninth street and Broadway forms the third of their string in New York city, the Herald Square and Casino being the others. Miss Hobson appears in an amusing play by Weedon Grossmith, the noted entertainer, called "The Night of the Party." W YORK LETTER: The Womans Exhibition which has been heralded from one end of the land to the other and with great nomp and ceremony will go down in history with another record beside that EW YORK LETTER: The Womans Exhibition which has been heralded from one end of the land to the other and will close tonight with great pomp and ceremony will go down in history with another record beside that of showing the wonderful progress woman has made in the various lines of art, science and will be remembered as an affair at which some of the most gorgeous gowns ever designed were worn. In short society has not waited this year for the Horse Show before coming out in the glory of its fall costumes, but instead has taken advantage of the Woman's Exhibition for this parade of fashion. Although there were many mixtures employed in designing most of the tailor gowns woven ultra-smart tastes were evidenced by several French diagonals and kid-finished cloths, both of which are obtainable in all possible variations this autumn. In some cases the stripes in the costumes designed of diagonal were formed by small but rather heavy corded stuffs, while in others they were in two colors on a soft, downy ground, on which silky mohair threads are added to feet in the form of short tendrils branching out from the diagonal lines. Here is a smart frock carried out in French diagonal; the skirt has shallow box plats and clears the ground of feet. This is the very newest length for a tailor made gown. The skirt is fitted so closely and fagotstitched so firmly over the hips and below them that it adds no more to the size of the figure than a plain ordinary skirt. Of course it goes without saying that such fitting and shaping require an expert and in the hands of an inexperienced tailor or dressmaker, it is safer to have the skirt joined to a smoothly fitted hip yoke. This yoke, coming well down over the hips, may be stitched-tight, strapped, or simply machine-sitched to the skirt proper, and the yoke may be pointed front and back, or pointed in front and rounded at the back to follow the dip-line of the blouse or drooping jacket sleeve. Hips or drooping jacket sleeve is inimitable in wearing in the latest addition to this form of skirt-trimming is a yoke beginning on either side of a broad graduated box plait which extends from belt to hem to the centre of the skirt front. The yoke extends across the hips and back, and the skirt is plaited to it in side kilts that turn away from the box-plait. To be sure there were silk gowns to rival the cloth ones at the exhibition and these were the smartest creations that one can imagine. Indeed many were smart solely because of their sweet simplicity. Picture a tan toulour plentifully sprinkled with polka dots of chocolate brown. Imagine the skirt of a woman wearing a toulour plainly, depending upon the arrangement of its ruffles for the scheme of decoration. The waist is equally plain with frills of the silk trimming. As a distinctive feature imagine an enormous Alsatian bow of white lisse at the back of the collar, stretching so far across the back at each side that it extends almost to the shoulders. If this dress is completed by a hatch of sunbrown felt with brown and black velvet does not appeal to the most fastidious taste, then there is something lacking—not in the dress, but the taste. This season's furs are simply delightful, to use a well-worn expression. But from what funny little animals they are stealing coats just now. They get caught somehow, however swift the squirrel in its flight, or however cautious the mole as it burrows in the earth. Squirrel and mole-skin coats are the furiest of the furries and they are trimmed with all various materials from sable and chinchilla to the incongruous chiffon and lace combinations. For a foundation for these coats light green, frale, turquoise blue and native satin are used and the effect is really stunning. A bit of neckwear that is being revived with considerable success is the stock cravat. This is interpreted to mean that the lace jabot and chemisette have had their little day. Certainly the cravat gives an opportunity to wear a black cloak, it will doubtless do by means of glace silk, foulard or patterned ribbon effects. One of the smart society girls at the exhibition who wore a black-bordered white felt stock cravat on the white silk shirt waist her dark grey diagonal revealed, and the whole was very chic. Another striking hat worn with a black cloth costume was of the Directoire, costume fashioned of hound panne, while its boldly-lifted front of creamy white chiffon was stuck with a lovely black and white cabochon, holding a sternly upright black osprey. the kimona coats are wonderfully effective and equally indispensable to the ultra-smart wardrobe. A dainty one is in black cloth trimmed with white Irish lace, which forms the collar and broad spatules extending from this far down on to the wide flowing sleeves, while it makes a bewitching garniture down both sides of the garment in front. It is no longer a difficult matter for the woman in mourning to dress fashionably and yet in unlimited variety, for the woman in new fashion Dams Fashion has made special appeals for her tastes and circumstances. This year, however, this effort on the parts of the arbiters of fashion is more pronounced than ever. New weaves in crepe de chine and caffoon are now specially creped for mourning gowns and are made up without being lined. The foundation slip is of light-weight tafetta in jet black. One of the most beautiful of the textiles for evening dress em-mourning is fleur de sude, soft and pliable. It is made of fibre. It has all the grace of chiffon and tissue, with the added firmness of light sude kid. The popularity of sash effects this year makes a strong demand on the buckle trade. All sorts of quaint and novel slides, tiny clasps and hooks are used at the back of the autumn bodices, holding each band, ribbon or strap in place to form the pointed girdle. When Empire sashes are worn, as they often are, especially with house gowns, large woolen gloves, and woolen silver are popular, some perfectly plain but showing a brilliant polish. These are called harness buckles and they are quite as expensive as the richly chased styles, for the reason that they are longer and made of solid silver. In fact, though many substitutes are affected by the woman of fashionable pretentions whose income forbids the luxury of the genuine article, a large majority of the metallic ornaments worn by women are those who invest in them find them not so extravagant after all, for they can always be impressed into useful service.

Pumpkin Pie: Press one quart of stewed pumpkin through a fine colander; add to it two q units of milk, two cups of sugar, seven eggs beaten very light, and a teaspoonful each of butter, ginger and chenom. Stir thoroughly together and fill plates that have previously been lined with a rich pie crust. An Appetizing Salad: Spanish peppers combined with tomatoes make an appetizing salad. The peppers should be boiled until tender, drained and cooled, cut in thin slices and mixed with firm, red tomatoes. Serve with a French dressing of oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. The salad should be very cold when served, and the salad dressing mixed at the table. Oyster: Stirr: Stir one and one-half cups of sweet milk into two well-beaten eggs; add a generous pint of oysters rather fine and add to this batter. Have a kettle containing boiling lard and drop this mixture in by the spoonful and fry a delicate brown. Drain on brown paper and serve hot, garnish with sliced lemons. Spiced Apple Tarts: Stew the apples, sweeten them and flavor with mace and cinnamon; add the juice and grated rind of one lemon if the apples have not much flavor. Line pie dishes with paste, fill them with the prepared apples, and bake until the tarts are thoroughly done. Bars of paste, a quarter of an inch wide, crossing the top of the tarts, are quite ornamental. Tomato Pis: Take ripe tomatoes, wash, peel, and in thin slices; fill a pie dish lined with a good paste with them; sprinkle well with sugar, and sift a little cinnamon and grated nutmeg; over add two tablespoons of vinegar, and one of lemon essence; cover with crust and bake NEW JERSEY MAN NOT WORRYING OVER COAL FAMINE Out in Morristown, N. J., is a man who is "beating" the coal strike on novel lines. He isn't in the least concerned about a famine or high prices, or any other vexatious coal questions which agitate the breasts of his fellow men, because he happens to have a little possession which beats it all to pieces. This is a peat bog—as genuine and as real as it is in nature. The Emerald Isle—and all he has to do when he wants fuel is to have it dug out by the cartload and deposited at his door. The lucky individual, chuckling in his sleeve at coal monopolists, is John D. Canfield, who opened up that part of Morristown known as Normandale Park, and who owns the pumping station in the Columbia Meadows which furnishes the water supply for the park. It is a beautiful park, and the station that turned Mr. Canfield's attention to peat and made him lend a willing ear to the tales told by Mr. R. C. Burnett, who comes of one of the oldest families in that portion of the country, says that one of his earliest recollections is of his father's Irish farm hands scoring coal and digging peat in these very meadows for their personal use. He and these tales many times and gave them sufficient credence to make himself, some years ago, sole owner of the meadows, but not until the necessity arose of feeding his engines at the pumping station with something that was not—like coal at the present price—going to devour him did he really test the possibilities of his peat bog. Then he found it pretty nearly had a coal pit, and he went his very door, for those who have burned the peat say it is vastly superior to coal. In the beginning the still somewhat skeletal owner had his doubts about peat for big fires. It might feed a kitchen stove, but had it power to make steam? He tried it in the engines and he now with it that he is not likely ever to bother with coal again. The peat bog is a veritable bit of Erin put down in the Jersey meadows. Everybody knows that in Ireland the peasants use peat as fuel, and it seems quite in character to find this Jersey bog worked by Irishmen who can give the Jerseymen points when it comes to holding peat. The farmers an area of about one hundred and fifty acres, and is extremely picturesque. So, too, is the simple, primitive method in which the peat work is done. The land is flat and spongy and covered with a thick tangle of flowering weeds. These removed, a black, wet soil suggestive of ideal things in the way of mud piles is shown. But, instead of being mud, it is a sticky, oily, fibrous sort of clay which holds the moisture of the other decayed vegetation which has been accumulating for no one knows how many hundreds of years. Mr. Canfield put some men to work on his bog several years ago to see what they could do with it, and he confesses himself astonished at the results. A peat cutter, three turf sleds, a horse and two horses, and six men, the equipment for a process which consists merely of cutting the peat and spreading it on the ground to dry. The cutter is a peculiar turf shovel, called by the Irishmen a "slain," and nothing of the sort was ever manufactured in this country. Those now in use on the Jersey bog were recently made by hand and brought from Ireland a hundred years ago and now in the possession of Mr. Canfield. ACTORS AS JOKERS How a Passenger Mounted the Carriage Roof. Actors have always been great practical jokers. David Garrick was fond of mystifying and startling his friends. Foote was a perennial pyrotechnic. Ned Shuter emulated his more famous comrades. On a warm summer day Shuter was traveling in the Brighton stagecoach with four ladies. Enter a sixth passenger, a corpulent person, whose perspiring proportions filled the ladies with dismay. Shuter only smiled. Turning his attention to the ladies he asked one after the other her motive for visiting Brighton. Each had some alarms, the seabreezes had been recommended. "Ah!" sighed the conedian, "I would change laces with any one of you. My case is honest—" "And pray what may it be," asked the stout party, pricking up his ears. "Three days ago I was bitten by a mad dog. Every now and then a fit comes upon me and I begin to bark and bite. "Heaven bless us!" puffed the other. "But surely you——" "Bow-wow-wow!" "Coachman! Coachman!" shrinked the fat party. "What's the matter?" shrieked back the coachman. "A mad dog is the matter! Hydrophobia's the matter! Open the door!" Shuter now rottling at the mouth. "Open the door! Never mind the step! Thank heaven, I'm safe out. Let whose likes ride inside, I'll mount the roof." And mount the rock he did, to the relief of the ladies and the delight of the comedian, who leapt repeating at intervals his sonorous "bow-wow-wow!"—Era Magazin. The New York Democratic state campaign opened Saturday night in Brooklyn. Speeches were made by David B. Hill, Edward M. Grot, George Raines and others. Judge Summerville of Odin, Ill., has handed down a decision that if a man sells his wife he must insure delivery, or he is guilty of obtaining money under false pretenses. He did not pass upon the constitutional right of a man to sell his wife. The case resulted from a deal he went to Odin to seel his wife to Mr. Davenport for $2 cash. Mrs. Hamilton heard the bargain and went with Davenport, but left him before night. Davenport had Hamilton arrested, and the entire community went to hear the case. Judge Summerville decided that Hamilton must send back the money, pay the court costs and leave town. According to the Reflector, when strangers in Ablence want to find a quiet place to read or spend an hour or so, they are directed to Democratic headquarters. CANGER CURED WITH SOOTHING, BALMY OILS. Oilless Tumor, Ostarrh, Pilon, Pistula, Ulcera, Bleach and all Skin and Female Diseases. Write to the National Board of Medical Examiners. DR. JYE, Cor. 5th, Kansas City, Mo. This relic of the past is like all shovels as to handle, but totally unlike as to blade. The "slain" blade is narrow—perhaps 4 inches and about 15 inches long, sharpened like a razor at the end in order to easily penetrate the fibrous matter, and having attached to the side of the blade another piece of steel triangular in shape and 4 inches long and equally sharp. When the two-edged blade is cut into a piece in a brick or block 18 inches long, the pieces being uniform in size and shape. The method of getting out the peat is first to clear the weeds from a large patch of ground and mark out a space about 20 feet wide and 40 long. Beginning at one end of this a line is drawn the length of it, marking off a strip 5 feet wide. The cutting is confined to this strip until the first layer, a foot deep, is taken out, when another strip is begun. The ditch thus dug so deep will fill the space in which it is a part of the composition of the peat, but it does not interfere with he work, and much of it drains itself off. Cutting peat on the Jersey bog is one Patrick O'Neill, an old hand at the business. "Pat" brought his "slain" along with him from the "old dart" when he came to Morristown, sixty years ago, and used it for his own purposes on his kitchen table. He is an industriously cutting for his employer. To watch him at work is most interesting. He does the job as neatly and easily as if he were slicing chocolate ice cream. One thrust of the sharp, two-edged blade down into the brown-black fibrous soil, one swing upward of the "slain", and out comes the peat in his hands. He does the job of the "slain" and this brick is deposited on a turf sled on the ground at Pat's side. Brick after brick of peat is closely packed in neat rows on the sled by the skillful "Pat", who does it all by a dig, a swing and a turn of the "slain", and never touches the peat in his hands. It is loaded it is drawn off by a man and horse, another sled being left for "Pat" to load. The man with the sled drives the horse to a place in the meadows, which has been cleared, and there he, with assistance, unloads it brick by brick and spreads it out on the ground in rows to dry. At this stage of the process the peat is very wet and oily and the blocks must be handled with care or they will break. So they are unloaded one at a time, the workmen taking a block in two hands and putting their hands under it, much as if they were handling a baby, and then gently laying it length down on the ground, in rows as close together as possible. For a week the peat remains drying like this, when it is turned and dried on the other side. At the end of two weeks all the blocks are gathered up and stood on end, in piles of six, for a final week of drying. This drains out of the blockable water. By this time the blocks have shrunk a little and are dry and hard and ready for use. It is then carried off to the near-by pumping stations. If it happens to rain during the drying process the water does not seem to affect the peat at all—the composition, when partially dried, is undoubtedly too porous to absorb it. When thoroughly dried the peat resembles a piece of charred wood as much as anything, and though hard, it is not solid, but can be easily broken and crumbled in the hand. The output of each man in the bog 'a about five cords of peat a day. WITH THE PLAYERS Frank Perlet and Herman Perley Are Brothers, But Use Different Names. Those who are well enough acquainted with Frank Perley and Herman Perlet to know that they are brothers have often wondered at the different spelling of the two surnames, though they are pronounced the same. It seems that the family, which is of French-Huguenot descent, originally wrote the name Per Let. In the last century one branch of the family, on account of the pronunciation, it was per Lee. When the family was escaped, America, like New England, sent a message to reconcile the spelling with the pronunciation for American use it was written Perley. When Herman and Frank got old enough to strike out into thwart the for themselves and Herman as a music lover wanted to follow the theatrical branch of the profession, his relatives were so horror-striken that in the goodness of his heart he changed his name to the original. Perlet. When Frank got a hankering to become a circus a gent and joined Barnum's big aggregation the family, he became a judge and he retained the name of the family uses it. Now Frank Perley is a prominent theatrical producer and his brother, Herman Perlet, besides being the musical director of "A Chinese Honeymoon," is the composer of three successful musical comedies.

As Mr. Ford could not make use of the services of the applicant he is satisfied to allow some other manager to capture him.

Within one year the total number has dropped from 96,698 to 90,796. A consular report states that the Paris Omnibus company had last year 16,579 horses in its service; now it employs nearly 2,000 less. In all the companies which compete with the tramways and the Metropolitan railway the diminution of horses has been 2,727. The remaining 3,175 horses which, since last year's census, have passed out of service, therefore, it is said, have been replaced by automobiles.

Henry Clay Once Spent Hours Before His Mirror Making a Face to Move the Jury. Mr. James Sandusky, who is an old and well known traveler, and who has recently settled in Chicago, tells, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal, an interesting story about Henry Clay, the great Kentucky statesman. Mr. Sandusky, in his youth, lived in Mr. Clay's district, during the time when Henry Clay was at his prime as a lawyer. "A man was once being tried for murder," said Mr. Sandusky, "and his case looked hopeless indeed. He had, without any seeming provocation, murdered his neighbors in cold blood. Not lawyer in the county would touch his case. It looked bad enough to ruin the reputation of any barrister. "The man, as a last extremity, appealed to Mr. Clay to take the case for him. Every one thought that Clay would certainly refuse. But when the celebrated lawyer looked into the matter his fighting blood was roused, and to the great surprise of all, he accepted. "Then came a trial, the like of which I have never seen. Clay slowly carried on the case, and it looked more and more hopeless. The only ground of defense the prisoner had was that the murdered man looked at him with such a fierce, murderous look, that out of self-defense he struck first. A ripple passed through the jury at this evidence. "The time came for Clay to make his defense. It was settled in the minds of the spectators that the man was guilty of murder in the first degree. Clay calmly proceeded, laying all the proofs before them in a masterly way. Then just as he was about to conclude he played his last master card. "Gentlemen of the jury," he said, assuming the fiercest, blackest look carrying the most undying hatred in it that I have ever seen, "gentlemen, if a man should look at you like this, what would you do?" "That was all he said, but that was enough. The jury was satisfied and some even qualified in their seats. The judge moved uneasily on his bench. The jury fifteen minutes the jury slowly filed a 'Not guilty, your honor.' The victory was complete. "When Clay was congratulated on his victory, he said: "It was not as easy as you think. I spent days and days in my room before the mirror practicing that look. It took more hard work to give that look than to investigate the most obscure case." Vice Admiral Lord Charles Boresef arrived at Liverpool Sunday from New York on the Cunard line steamer Umbria. In the United States Lord Beresford studied the construction of American battleships and also investigated shipping matters. "The United States," said the admiral, "is certainly ahead of us in engineering and administration and we need to adopt ourselves more to modern ideas." "Now," said the frate debtor, "if you disturb me again you'll get what you're looking for." "Thanks," replied the urbane collecton. "I will try to make it convenient to disturb you at about this time tomorrow."—Houston Post. Aunt Frances said to her nephew one day: "What will you do when you are a man, Tommy?" "I'll grow a beard," was the unexpected reply. "Why?" she asked. "Because then I won't have nearly so much face to wash," said Tommy.—Little Chronicle.

A SHIP YARD'S GREAT RECORD In Its Seventy- Two Years' Existence the Cramp Plant Has Built 321 Vessels. In the seventy-two years of its existence, the Cramp building shipyard Philadelphia, counting vessels unbuilt construction, has built 321 vessels, and 220 engines, ranging from indian horse powers of 500 and 600 to 23,000 the latter being those designed for the armored cruisers Philadelphia and ocorado. Of the 321 vessels, twenty-five have been United States steam men-of-war built at various dates since 1861; one first-class protected cruiser, the Kaiser for the Japanese navy, four old type cruisers, one first-class cruiser, the Varlag, and one first-class battleship the Retvizan, for the Russian navy 103 ocean steamers of from 1,000 to 125 500 tons; 26 steamers not ocean-goaming 54 tugs, 9 sea-going yachts, 28 clipper ships and 60 ood other craft for various purposes. The Cramps have built these vessels on the navy list of the United States: Baltimore, Yorktown, Vervius, Philadelphia, Newark, New York Columbia, Minneapolis, Indiana, Mississippi, Brooklyn, Iowa, Alabama Maline, Colorado and Pennsylvania; the last three not yet completed. During the civil war they built the New Ironsides, the Wylusing, the Zoo and the Chattanooga, besides four transports. Jay Gould's famous sailor Atlanta came from the Cramp yard while many of the best known merchant vessels sailing from this port were built there. William Cramp died in 1879, but some years previous to his death he had incorporated his firm, changing the name from William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Building company, which is the present name of the concern—New York Sun. Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Kate Stockton are in indulging in a ceremonious deate somewhat after good old Isaiah Watson's style of discourse adopted by Piscator and Venator. Ella believes that man only should make a proposal of marriage, while Kate contends that the poor woman who never has been sought should have the privilege of so doing a man if she can. Ella replies, "File, you immodest creature. Kate Stockton is a valiant defense of the unbridled molder." Come, come, girls, why quarrel over such a trifling matter? Woman has her own way of proposing, and, depend upon it, that if the coy, blushing makes not marry the man of her heart, it is not because she has not used up her privileges and his, too. Concern, like a worm in the bud, is not feeding on damask cheeks to any large extent in these wide-awake times. The young woman who confides her love of man to the moon, the little birds of forest and the crickets in the meadow is found only in old books of poetry or romantic dramas of several centuries gone.

In due course of time he became acquainted with the publisher, who, in turn, introduced him to the private sec- retary. One day, when the private sec- retary was sitting serene and dignified ‘at her desk, there entered precipitately the Englishman. “How do you do?” she said sweetly. “T beg your pardon,” said the Eng- lishman, “but could you spare me just a little of your gum?” “Gum!” she exclaimed in horror. “gurely you don’t think I—” “Really, | beg you pardon,” ejaculated the Englishman a second time, in still more confusion. “How stupid of me!

She rented & plano suitable for a small boy's roo1a and attached the mechanical device. it was all intended as a surprise for the ttle son, who, with his sister and brother, was still at Atlantic City. ‘The attorney general entered into the spirit of the surprise with delight. Just before leaving Washington he tele- graphed Miss Knox and her brothers to meet him in New York preparatory to his departure for Europe. Of course lit- Ule Phil, who {s the attorney general's chum, went with them, Doubtless run- ning short of other small conversation and wishing to be agreeable his father divulged the secret of the planola, ‘When Phil arrived in Washington a day later, his mother told him she led 8 surprise for him. “Is it the planola?” ‘asked the youngster. The case is hope- less. The attorney general cannot keep a family secret, much to the distress of his amiable wife, and the bad habit ex- tends to birthdays and Christmas as well. HELPED EVERYBODY.

There is a hospital in New York for consumptive children, as well as for older people with the same disease, and I gave the dolls to a physician who is connected with that hospital. He said afterward he wished I could have seen the children trooping toward him, each carrying a doll. But the most touching thing to me was what the nurse told the doctor, that after every child was furnished with a doll there were a number left, and the poor women dying with consumption asked if each might have a doll. They all wanted them, and to each the dolls were given, and the nurse said she could not have dreamed of their seeing such a comfort to those poor sick women. There were just enough dolls for each to have one. Ah OUR GREATEST To the Colored People LUSTORONE THE GREATEST OF ALL STRAIGHTENS KINKY, NAPKIN You can straighten your hair in your own home.

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 on kept on worsen, until I had my right ear removed. I underwent a treatment for cataract, for three months, without any success, consulted a bar of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me once, "You help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises was once, but the hearing was never." 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. Very true. A. WERMAN, 759 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.
