First and foremost it must be attributed to unorganized forces, loss of money and the unfamiliarity of managers with popular elements. The republicans managers besides being exceptionally familiar with the work in hand were plentifully supplied with wise counsel from old war horses who had gone the route and stopped at every station. Their head-quarters were open and the masses could come in contact with managers, candidates and the leaders at any time of the day or night. This one thing means a great deal in the powerful carrying out of a campaign. the republicans were systematically organized for effective work not a single precinct was overlooked-not a disgruntled sulky individual was overlooked their smoother party manipulators were thrown into the precincts where Negroes numbered the heaviest by years of association and old time friendship they carried their point. In the campaign of W. H. Craddock for mayor at Democratic head-quarters could be met such men as the Tom Bowling the present police judge who is so familiar with the Negrovots of Wyandotte that his presence meant much. Success of any party lies in a very large measure to men who manage the campaign, their ability to mix with all classes and colors they must be backed up by trusty lieutenants. The new arrangement of the ballot this year had much to do with its results. Prior to this year an X was made at the night of the name on any ticket you de The jointist who carry a certain etement in sheeps clothing. The Battle Is Over. We fought a good fight and now retire from the contest—with malice towards none and a good will for all. We have absolutely nothing to retract and no sore spots. We told nothing but the truth and advised as we really sincerely and honestly thought best. We stand right now as we have stood—that the future of the Negro politically is in ignoring party lines and picking out men, or in other words dividing up the suffrage. We know that there is no man whose heart beats in a more sympathetic cord for down trodden humanity than does that oad hearted gentleman Mayor W. H. Craddock who though defeated by money, the crushing power of the world He still hold a warm spot in the estimation of the people. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again—whether it be Cradock or not, others will come—In the course of time-money will fail to prevent the people from consciently doing that which is to their best interest. The $40,000 mentioned in our lart issue that was hurled into Wyandotte county got in its work and while victory is the republicans-the corporations and money powers through the bosses done the work. After all God reigns and Hon W. H. Crandock is still mayor of greater Kansas City. If the people of the great state of Kansas or not yet ready to make the great corporation pay their just proportion of taxes, that they may be allowed a chance to breathe—then we are satisfied. The time will come when many of them will see as we are seeing and they will gladly embrace the opportunity to do something in their own interest. Judge Jones, of the United States court, in Montgomery, Ala., ifensed the application of J. W. Giles for an injunction restaining the registrars from sending up their lists without the names of himself and other qualified oblared voters. The judge's action is based on want of jurisdiction following decisions which confuse the equity side of the court to matters involving property rights.

Many had been told that the least tampering with their ballot would make it liable to be thrown out. So while many desired to vote for individuals democrats they often marked in the circle at the top of the republican ticket them marked individuals on democrat ticket thus their ballot was thrown out many for fear of losing their vote made only the marked in the circle at the top of the republican ticket (as they were tld by party managers.) We stand in a position to know where of we speak and we disagree with chairman Taggart of the democratic committee wh en he makes a statement in the K. C. Journal that 50 Negroes did not vote the democratic ticket. Mr. Taggart reckoned without facts. Early in the campaign numerous lies were told regard the democratic tendency toward the Negroes lies had the desired effect and the masses of the Negroes were not shown to their satisfaction that the circulated tales were really false hood and political schemes. The disagreeable weather had also its effect. The republicans made every effort by sending carriages after the voters in every nook and corner. Hundreds of voters who would have voted the democratic ticket had no way of getting to polls. They figured that a vote that was not worth coming after was not worth giving. Money covers a multitude of ills there money was lack to cover these things. The corporations voted their men like machines and used their money too. A Nice The Only Heir. As sole surviving heir and relative of Senator John R. McPherson of New Jersey, who died in 1897, his niece, Mrs. Anna W. Low, wife of Edward F. Low, has been adjudged entitled to $152,000, the value of securities the senator placed in trust with the Union Trust company years ago for the benefit of his daughter Edla, whe at the time of her death was the wife of Dr. Joseph Muir. Senator McPherson September 18 1895 placed in trust ten United States bonds of $10,000 each and $50,000 of other securities and provided the net income should be devote suppor of his daughter for life and in the event of her death the principal was to go to her children or, if she left none, to his son, George McPherson. If he was not alive the fund was to go to any other heirs. None of these conditions were fulfilled and now Mrs. Low has established that she is the only heir of senator McPheson She is a daughter of Daniel McPheson a brother of the senator, who died in 1898 She was the favorite niece of the Senator and was a member of his family while he was in the Senate.

It is true that the old regime omdorsed and nocouraged a purity of wives, but now all men everywhere should "forrke all others and cleave to the wife of his bosom." There is no sure indigestion of the di-integration of a natian than when there is laxity of fidelity in the home. Look back in the annals of history and you will find the statement erified. A man should respect the sanctity of another's home with the same feelings of expect as he would demand for his own, for the protection of his own and daughter, and whether he realizes it or not, with the same measure he meets it will be measured to him again.—Exchange.

Stones were formed into the shapes of beetles by the ancient Egyptians. 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 the God and various英雄s. One of the latter was a hawk with a human head, symbolizing resurrection. Another, the vulture, meant maternity. ▲ goose was the son of a king. "She had just refused a man worth a million."

SARBERS WHO MAKE MONEY. Those Who Serve Patrons at Their Homes Get Lucky. True. The itinerant barber of today who corresponds to the early idea of this personage by going in their homes and not awaiting them in his own or his employer's shop, is no means a figure of the New York in New York, but proppers here still, says the New York Sun. These barbers are working who have acquire a following of their own and find customers enough who want to be shaved at home to insure them a living. They are able with a limited number to get along, as the expense involved is not great. There is, for instance, no rent, and this makes it possible for a barber to succeed with a more limited number of patrons than might otherwise be thought necessary. The number of these men has greatly increased during the past years and they represent the barbers who are fearful of undertaking the responsibility of their own shops and are yet desirous of being independent than the ordinary employee. The most successful of these barbers are usually more desirably placed than their employers. They have no responsibility and earn a regular income as well as being treated with consideration by their bosses, who are always anxious to keep such men. The itinerant barber who serve their clients at their own homes are able to do this at only a slight advance on the usual amount. Sent out from the shops they receive four times as much as would be asked in them. THE CELL OF NOTABLES: Occupied by Earl Russell, Stead and Elmund H. Yater. In connection with the cell of Halloway jail where Earl Russell served his sentence for bigamy it is said that it was formerly occupied by the English journalist, W. T. Stead, and the novelist, Edmund H. Yates. The affairs in which they were engaged, although they caused a tremendous sensation at the time, are now almost forgotten. Stead, it may be remembered, was largely in the eye of the country about six years ago as the author of a book, "If Christ Should Come to 'hicago'." that was regarded as so blasphemous the big news companies refused to handle it. In 1888 Stead created a remarkable commission by alleging that English society was permeated by the most horrible immorality. A body of gentlemen, composed of some of the most eminent in the kingdom, sifted his charges and the result was that new laws were proposed and passed regulating the subject matter of his allegations. In proving them, however, Stead was guilty of a technical violation of the law, and this he had to undergo prison detention for three months. The offence for which Yates was imprisoned took place in 1874 and consisted of an alleged libel in his newspaper, the World, on the Earl of Lonsdale. While not the writer of the article himself he refused to divulge the name of its author and so subjected himself to penalty. A. Wonderful Chinese Temple A temple to reach which any one has to climb up 6,000 stone steps, is to be found in China, on the top of the holy mountain, Tai-schan, which is about 6,000 feet above Tainganfu, and the distance somewhat over sixteen miles. About a mile north of the city walls is a gate leading to an avenue several miles in length, lined with temples, convents, holy shrines, and thousands of beggars. The real ascent begins at a stone portal at which, according to its inscription, the great Confucius himself halted and turned back 2,600 years ago, not having had the strength to climb the 6,000 stone steps leading to the top. These Tai-schan stairs are by far the highest in the world, for taking the number of steps in one story of an ordinary dwelling to be twenty, the number of Tai-schan steps equals 300 stories. After climbing the 6,000 steps the visitor passes through the Gate of Heaven and stands on the large plateau at the summit, which is covered with numerous temples and stone monuments. British Cabinet Wages The annual "wages bill" of the British cabinet is no light sum—at present it nearly reaches £100,000; or, to be exact, it amounts to £93,550. Of the cabinet as at present constituted the best paid is the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, who receives £20,000 a year; the lord chancellor comes next with £10,000, and the Irish lord chancellor's salary is £8,000. Seven ministers—respectively stationed at the foreign, colonial, war, India, treasury and home offices, and the chancellor of the exchequer—are paid £5,000 each, which is the standard salary for a secretary of state; while the first lord of the admiralty has £4,500. The remaining eight members of the cabinet are each given £2,000 per annum. The offices of the Irish chief secretary and of postmaster-general are respectively rated at £4,425 and £2,500. Wiles of a Poacher. The otter, used by Scottish poachers, is one of the most deadly fishing instruments known. On some waters it is far more effective than a net. It may be described as a water-kite, which serves to take out over the water a line bearing fifty or more flies. The otter itself is a floating piece of board, leaded along one edge to keep it upright. The poacher walks along the side of loch or river, letting out the fly-decorated line as he goes, the Atmospheres Waves The atmospheric ocean surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by gigantic waves, which are invisible except when they carry parts of the air charged with moisture up into a coiler atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs.

Convicted of First Degree Murder in Kansas City, Kansas. Kansas City, Mo.-Fred Folkensburg 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 tail. 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 warrant. 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, Kas. 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, 17 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 clairvoyant, who had warned Fokenburg that his wife wr. 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 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 president and is now 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 at Victor mine, Pawnee, eighteen miles from here. The dead: W. V. Overcash, aged 30, single, Michael Yorja, aged 27, single. Fatally injured: Frank Isaacs, aged 14, breaker boy, dylan Peter Green, head and body crushed. John Burke, frightfully bruised. George Worley, bruised and burned. Others injured were Daniel Reece, John Dick, William Sparilng, John Pick, Peter Cerovich, Jerry Sproule, Thomas King, Joseph Buchner. The explosion occurred just before the day for which he was off duty a bruised 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. Gunned's Last Opera Few people are aware that Gouned once, in a moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and, though he afterwards repented of his action, he was quite unable to recall its melodies. Gouned's opera "Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scarcities of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity, he thought better of his resolution. Rare Old Bible Found A wonderful old Bible has just been discovered in Venice, the fortunate finder being Leo S. Olschki, a well known antiquarian of Florence. It is in five large volumes, and was printed in Rome in the printing house of Doe Pietro Massimo in 1471 and 1472. Soon after it came from the press it was purchased by a patrician family of Venice, and it was in the archives of this family that Olschki discovered it A Cran's Novel Fighting Cran Love's Never-written Card.

Toys for Poor Children The prefect of the Seine distributed 25,000 francs (�$5,000) in the arrondissements of Paris to buy toys for poor children on Jan. 1. The sum was bequeathed to M.

NOVEMBER 7 1902 HE TOOK THE SHOWER BATH. And It Drove Him From the Yosemite Back to New England. After a week of little journeys, striking here and there a few miles to absorb the Yosemite, valley from a dot coignes of vantage, we were whipping the hilthouse one afternoon for mountain rant, say, the Worst Work. "Tomorrow," said a voice, "shall take a shower bath under the seventeen hundred foot tail." "You," said another voice, "are a fool." "Not at all," came back argumentatively. "The river's very low. What there is of a turpus to pray in the first hundred feet; it will simply come down like rain. Why, you go under the shell of yourself. Only that's prosaic. That is something big. Come on." "Not I." But I was there to see. The water, as he had said, came down, a considerable part of it, in rain and spray that flew out on the wind incredible distances. But to crawl down, dressed in a bathing suit, closer to the mast stream than falls to the pool and upon the rocks with a murreous swish in the air and a roar like a railway train when it strikes was daring to tool hardness. At any moment a veering tail swirled the whole mass upon the tail swing figure tentatively on all tours down the jagged talus slope, his eyeglass pebbles glinting cheerfully. A steady breeze kept the fall swung out a little the other way, and the spray burgeoned out far up the other slope. The roar was deafening. All at once the wind shifted, the water swung back, and in a hash the human figure was blotted in a deluge that turned me sick. For a second the spot hendishell, if seemed to lae, standing horrified tuers, and then slowly it swept away. In any memorial concerning Mr. Dick it is impossible to keep out some mention of Mr. Richard of Galline's hair. Two literary friends of his were recently speaking of the disproportionate amount of adverse criticism he occasionally gave on his nose, he said: "The oceans fell upon me. For God's sake, come back to New England!" And he went. And then there was a moment, a painful, crawling moment, down the slope, and I scrambled down the slippery rocks to neap a blinking creeping, much surprised youth, bleeding from a hundred cuts, up to where his clothes lie. He was still too dazed to speak. When his breath returned and his extra glasses were perched again on his nose, he said: "The oceans fell upon me. For God's sake, come back to New England!" And he went.

Astronomer Couldn't Get Line on Young Man ahh His Best Girl "In science," said the young man, "I have heard you say that the same law, when applied to the motions of all individualized aggregations of atoms, applies with equal persistency, and that, so long as we know what this law is, we can work out any problem to its ultimate conclusion, provided the conditions be such as to determine the nature of the problem." "Precisely." "We have, then, two bodies of polarized, aggregated animalcule (one of the first degree of density in Marshall's law, and the other of the second), alternately attracted and repulsed by the vibratory motion of Kepler's fourth equation. Moving together through space at the rate of seventeen miles per second, they are retarded by a fractional atmospheric pressure of one ohm to a specific gravity of 3,000 a year respectively. The varying degrees of density being duly considered, at the end of thirteen years and six months, what will be their respective relations?" "Where are these bodies at present located in regard to the sun?" "They are in the shade." The kindly old astronomer laid his hand on the other's arm. "My son," he said, nothing is easier in mathematics, once having the point of departure, the rate of speed and the relative degrees of density, to arrive at the location of two moving spatial objects, but I confess I am utterly powerless to get a line on you and your best girl."—New York Life. THE HAPPY DAYS OF AGE. 3rd Idea of Youth's Carelessness Has No Foundation. Youth takes itself with the same sorrowless which belongs to age in a time of less knowledge; and one of the greatest proofs of a more complete mastery by the world of the art of living is the wish and ability to be careless, says Serbuner's.

Anthracite Arbitrators Do Not Intend to Rush Things. The Sixty-Seven Independent Operators As Well As Big Companies Are to Have a Hear- Scranton, Pa.—The arbitration commission which is engaged in settling the differences existing between the anthracite coal operators and the mine workers decided, while on their tour of the Wyoming valley, to adjourn next Thursday until Friday, November 14, when the taking of testimony will begin in this city. The first four days of this week are being taken up in inspecting the mines and mining towns from Hazelton south to the end of the hard coal fields. Chairman Gray says that the object in taking a recess of one week is for the purpose of giving both sides sufficient time to prepare their cases and also to offer the widest opportunity to examine the issues. The commission feels that the questions involved are so important that any haste may work an injury to either side of the controversy. When the hearings are begun next week it is the intention to have the miners, who are considered the plaintiffs, submit their case first. How long it will take to hear the testimony cannot be estimated by the commission. The sixty-seven individual operators will also be given an opportunity to be heard, as well as all the larger coal companies. The question of making a preliminary report on such of the issues involved by such as the increase of wages, a shorter two day day, the weight coal at the mouth of the mines, has not yet been officially taken up by the commission, and it is not definitely known that it will be considered by the commissioners. The arbitrators spent the entire day Saturday in and about the city of Wilkbarre, visiting one mine and making a tour of the towns on the outskirts of the city. At Dorrance colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, at North Wilkbarre, nearly two hours were spent in the mine, about 850 feet below the surface. The mine is a very gaseous one and the commissioners and other members of their party were compelled to carry safety lamps. They were told the mine was dangerous, but their eagerness for information as to the "physical features" of the various mines was so great that the unsafe conditions of the workings did not deter them from entering. There were no special incidents in the trip below the ground, and the tour was much the same as those taken in other mines on the two previous days, the only difference being that the commissioners saw a vein of coal about sixteen feet thick, which is three times the thickness of the seams of soal seen on Thursday and Friday. One of the gangways traversed by the commissioners was the river to the west side of North Willow Creek. The commissioners steadily refuse to give opinions on any feature of the matter before them. EUROPE NO LONGER FEARS US. A New York Banker's Warning That Prosperity Is On the Wane. Wilmington, N. C.—At a banquet given by the chamber of commerce, Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president of the National City bank of New York, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President McKinley, spoke of the industrial situation in part as follows: If we are honest with ourselves we must admit that the edge is off our invasion of foreign markets. Our outlays for the fiscal year just closed an increase which they were making has been checked and decreases have been recorded. Our exports of manufacturers for the fiscal year just closed are 30 million dollars less than the point they reached two years ago. Our total exports of domestic merchandise fell off more than 100 million dollars in the year. Instead of decreasing imports, we have made some large increases in our purchases of foreign goods and the total for this fiscal year stands more than 300 million dollars above 1899. Mr. Vanderlip, merchants and financiers did not fear the United States as they had last year. He deplored the spirit of speculation which had set in, and advised carefulness and more conservatism. A NEW "INBASION" OF LONDON. John Wanamaker to Start a Department Store on the American Plan. London.—John Wanamaker of Philadelphia is negotiating for carrying out the long threatened invasion of London by an American department store. His son, Rodman Wanamaker, has concluded arrangements for a site on Oxford street in the heart of the retail district. The new establishment, which probably will be the first British stockholders, may be in running order within twelve months. It will combine all the features that have made the stores in Chicago and New York famous. The new store will be systematically advertised in the newspapers, a practice which the London merchants have regarded as undignified. GENIUS TO BE UNIONIZED. New York.—Trades unionism is reported to be planning a campaign on the aristocratic ranks of this city's most successful artists, illustrators and rural painters. Walking delegates of the Amalgamated House and Siga Painters' Union and Lithographers' Union are credited with having made the discovery that their fellows have been working in buildings where panels, etc., were decorated by painters unaffiliated, and plans are said to be under way for the unionization of the artists and illustrators in particular. A MIGRATION TO CALIFORNIA. Los Angeles, Cal.-Thirty thousand colonists to California in two months is the record of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads, the result of the colonist low rate excursions from the East that were in effect during September and October. At least 5,000, it is claimed by passenger and colonist agents of the railroads, have already become permanently located in the state, and many more are viewing the sections, north and south, with the object of selecting homes. Odenhahl Company Wrecked, It Is Said, By a Dishonest Official. New Orleans—President E. J. Odenhahl, of the Odenhahl Commission Company, limited, one of the largest grain exporting firms in the United States, has issued the following circular to the grain trade: "We regret very much to have to advise you that our firm is forced into liquidation and will not be able to pay its liabilities. You will spare us the necessity of making further explanations, as they are painful. "Our business has been very profitable, but the profits have been diverted into other channels, not through any fault of the writer." The circular follows a widely circulated report of alleged forgeries on the part of a prominent officer of the firm, amounting to between $150,000 and $175,000. The Odendahl Commission Company has done a large grain exporting business and for years has been in the habit of borrowing large sums from ten days to a month on unindorsed notes secured by bills of lading, warehouse receipts and blanket insurance policies. It is alleged that advantage has been taken of the high credit of the firm to borrow immense sums from banks on forged bills of lading and warehouse receipts and that this has been the cause of the failure. F. J. Odendahl, president of the company, was formerly president of the New Orleans board of trade and is one of the best known business men in the South. The company bought extensively in Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and other cities. No warrant has been issued for the arrest of the official alleged to be responsible for the failure of the firm, and he is reported to have left the city. Members of the Kansas City board of trade said Saturday that they had been suspicious of the Odendahl company and had been guarded in dealing with it. SILVER LOWER THAN EVER Price Has Fallen to 23 3-16d in London Because of Lack of Demand. New York—Bar silver has sold at 23 3-16d per ounce, the lowest price in the history of the metal. The principal explanation for the current low price of the metal is apparently to be found in the causes which have been steadily forcing the quotation down for several years. Chief among these is the payment of the heavy Chinese indemnity incurred by China in the recent Chinese Boxer disturbance. This indemnity is collected in silver and deposited with the large banks which act as the fiscal agents in China of the various governments to which the indemnity is to be paid. These banks have little opportunity to ship the metal, but, instead, remit through the foreign exchange market, selling their silver in China. If commercial conditions in China were better it would seem that this accumulation of silver could be again distributed throughout the country. The demand on the Continent for vintage purposes is growing, and members of the silver trade ascribe the decline in the metal to this shrinkage in demand, and not to an increase in production. Indeed, it is claimed that the world's production of silver this year has considerably decreased. Exports of the metal from New York which handles a large part of the export business, have shown a heavy decrease, amounting to over $10,000,000 Imports at the same time have decreased from about $2,240,000 up to this date last year to $70,000 from January 1 to October 25 of this year. BUT HE KILLED NO TURKEYS The President Explained That He Enjoyed the Walking in Virginia. Brandy Station, Va. — President Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Secretary Cortelyou and Surgeon General Rixey were the guests of Representative John Rixey at his country home about two miles from here. The special train bearing the president and his party arrived shortly before 7 o'clock Saturday and remained until 9:30 o'clock Monday morning. When the president reached his special train at Manassas, on his return from the hunt, he found a crowd awaiting him. At the solicitation of Judge Nichols the president spoke briefly. He said: "I wish to thank you very much for the way you have come to greet us. I have thoroughly enjoyed my day here. I regret to state that the turkeys did not rattle. In the first place, I had a good walk. it is the first I have had in six weeks, and I appreciated it. I was delighted to have a chance to visit the great battlefields here; and it is a very pleasant thing to any man who has the least desire to be a good soldier. I have visited the tortorite town and to see the two avenues named in memory of Grant and Lee. I feel that all of us, in any part of this country, now have an equal right to glory in the valor and the devotion to duty, as each saw his duty, alike of those who wore the blue and those who wore the gray. I thank you for having greeted me." Three trainees were almost instantly killed Sunday by the explosion of a boiler of a Baltimore & Ohio locomotive at Haletrophe. Traffic was delayed for three hours on account of the accident. Those who were killed were: Engineer F. W. Biggs, Fireman O. W. Hunt, Brakeman C. O. Stalling. The St. Petersburg Official Messenger announces the dismissal from the army of the Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovitch, who is an uncle of the czar. Fire at Larchmont, Westchester county, N. Y., Sunday destroyed a section of the business district and wiped out houses in which a dozen families lived. The estimated loss is $75,000. F. W. Buckstuhl, director of sculpture, left St. Louis Saturday night for New York city to commission the sculptors who are to design the groups and figures for the exhibit buildings. The southbound vestibule train on the Atlantic Coast line was wrecked at Elm City, N. C., Saturday night by running into a freight train. Engineer Cherry, of the vestibule, was killed; the fireman and three mall clerks were badly injured; the baggageman was slightly hurt. The passengers were shaken up, but none was seriously injured. The engine was completely demolished and the mall, baggage and combination car wrecked. The St. Petersburg Novosti says that Count Tolstoi is suffering from another attack of inflammation of the lungs. KANSAS NEWS BRIEFS. Cupid is slighting Butler county. There hasn't been a marriage license issued out there for over two weeks. There was a heavy frost in some parst of Kansas last week that cut down everything exposed, and ice formed on water out of doors. John W. Leedy is the Prohibition candidate for governor of Iowa. While he is no relation to the former governor or of Kansas, there is not much show for his election. H. R. Nickerson, vice president of the Mexican Central, who, it is said, is slated for the presidency of the Southern Pacific, began his railroad career in Atchison as a trucker. H. W. Cochran, of Linn county, is 91 years old. Mr. Cochran has never ridden on a railroad train or on a street car. He boasts that in all his life he never attended a wedding save his own.

Billard to compel the school board to desist from the use of the Bible in the public schools has been heard in the district court at Topeka. The decision will not be given for a week. The Kaw valley farmer who planted potatoes this year is a happy man. A year ago the potato crop of the valley was almost a total failure. This year the yield is averaging 350 bushels to the acre and they are bringing first rate prices. Citizens of Douglass "pitched in" last week and bought a house and lot for Aunt Dinah Fouts, a respected old negro woman of that town. The old woman, who is becoming too feeble to work, broke down and cried when she was told that she owned her little home. The Rev. Charles M. Sheldon has arranged to assist in the Canada campaign in favor of prohibition. Mr. Sheldon has arranged his affairs so as to be in Canada for several meetings about the time the prohibitory campaign there opens in December. Mr. Sheldon will also lecture in New Brunswick and in various Northern states. John Stanton, state architect, has informed the state officers that the statehouse will be cofledged by January 1. It has been the hope of the members of this administration to see the building completed before they go out of office and Mr. Stanton's statement means that it will be finished twelve days before they turn the government over to another set of officers. The body of William H. Bennett, who died while serving his country in the Philippines in March, 1901, has arrived at Concordia and was buried with military honor. Bennett enlisted in Troop F, First cavalry, at Fort Riley in 1896, and served through the Cuban war. He enlisted in the hospital corps and was transferred to the Philippine islands. Kansas national guards, assisted by the G. A. R., had charge of the funeral. The famous Sweeney will case has been decided at Alma in favor of the four children of Michael Sweeney, who broke his bravery in the battle with Michael Sweeney, a prominent citizen of Wabaua县 county, died, leaving an estate worth $80,000. In his will he bequeathed nearly all the property to his sons Michael, Martin and Thomas, and cut his three daughters and another son off with a pittance. The decision gives an equal division. "Billy" Patterson will be pensioned by the next legislature if the wishes of E. B. Jewett, warden of the penitentiary are followed. "Billy" is an employee of the penitentiary who worked as a mason when the building was being constructed. "Billy," is too old to work and too old to be a prisoner. "The only way I can see out of the difficulty is for the state to give him a small pension and let him retire. He has served the state long and faithfully enough to merit it." As a result of a quarrel at Independence between Charles Hooper and his wife, their four children are orphans. The trouble was in the postoffice building, and when occupants of the building reached the scene both husband and wife were dead. Mrs. Hooper left her husband some time ago. Afterwards a reconciliation was effected, but later she secured a divorce and the custody of her children. Hooper recently took the children from his wife and she had been consulting an attorney relative to regaining the custody of her children when her husband met her. He fired three shots at her and then shot himself. Parsons contractors announce that men are very scarce there at present. Judge Clayton has refused an instruction restraining the revenue inspector from driving out of the Indian Territory, y cattle taken in for grazing purposes upon which the owners refused to pay a tax of twenty-five cents a head according to the regulations of the department. Mr. Cobb had been in the Chickasaw nation and had driven five herds of cattle out of the territory across Red river into Texas. W. O. Davis, representing cowmen who have 100,000 head of cattle subject to this tax, asked an injunction to prevent their removal. Colonel Swayne, the British commander in Somaliland, has reached Berbera in safety. His wounded are doing well. No further movement of the British troops against the Mad Mullah will be made until a large force is collected, which will be in about two months. There is no doubt that the Somali levies showed the white feather in the recent fighting with the Mullah's followers. Colonel Cobbe is in command at Bohotle, Somaliland, where the guns have arrived. The garrison there is not threatened. Many ex-Boer commandants and British officers have offered their services and those of 1,000 men, half of whom are British and half Boer soldiers, for service in Somaliland.

Never asked to have him, either. But he's here. They just wore shoes, bought him, And, last week the doctor brought him. Weren't that queer? When I heard the news from Molly, Why, I thought at first "wassly, Cause you see I sposed I could get him And then mamma, course, would lst him Play with me. But when I had once looked at him, "Why," I says, "Great snakes, is tha Him? Just that mite!" They said "Yes," and "Ain't he cunnin?" And I thought they must be funnin'— He's a sight! He's so small, it's just amazing! And you'd think he was blazin'! He's so red. And his nose is like a berry, And he's bald as Uncle Jerry On his head. Why, he isn't worth a brick, All he does is cry and kick, He can't stop. Won't sit up, you can't arrange him— I don't see why pa don't change him At the door. Now, we've got to dress and feed him, And we really didn't need him More'n a frog; Why'd they buy a baby brother When they know I'd good deal ruther Have a dog? Kansas Farmer. F bored person Wetherby followed his furtive yawn by a surreptitious stretching of his arms and legs. It is bad form to the other people, just because one is tired oneself. His berth was low I, at the forward end of the long, luxurious landscape, in his seat, looking out into the dimly lit, the dismal landscape, his fellow passengers were not within the range of his glance. Still, he had already "sized up" most of them. They seemed hardly worth cultivation—cattle men, hurrying home to their vast herds of bees out toward the broad ranches to the Liana Estacado, or Arizona sheep owners who had learned the costly lesson that a Texas steer needs plenty of milk himself for market, while the sheep can live on his milk, living off a hillside whereon a yearling calf would become a depressing rack of bones. There were some loud-voiced mountainaries—he reckoned them as such, with that unconscious summing up of tone and manner and a attire a man will accord to strangers into whose contact he is thrown upon a long journey—going back to their mines; and a traveling man or two, for a Ride Grande towns in the interest of jobsbringing the his liver. When they were hardly worth while, then they withdrew. Still, he wanted to smoke. It could be no more duller look from the rear of the car than from his window at the side. So, yawning once more behind a decorous palm, stretching himself once more as an unobtrusively as might be, he rose languidly and made his way leisurely to the smoking room and observation car at the other end of his car, at the very rear of the train. Here he selected from a morocco case a cigar he had languidly and made his way trifles, when the larger concerns of life are lacking, lighted it with close attention to the point, that it burned quite evenly, and leaned listlessly back in a cushioned seat, looking back at the receding track. Upon each side a somber wall of heavy live oak and cypress trees, cloaked in their gray, funeral investiture of Spanish moss, stretched interminably, a rooftop tunnel through which the train sped with a monotonous heaviness of heart, as if it longed for free air and breath. Only when the rumbling wheels danced upon a truss spanning some sluggish bayou did the wearlouse outlook vary, hand lighted it in calm silence and remonstrance against so dull a journey. "Looks like a procession of Quaker's," he muttered, surly lifting his glance to the face of the other occupant of the smoking-room, who sat rigidly in an opposite chair, reading the New Orlean Weatherby colly, rolled himself another cigarette with easy dexterity in one hand, lighter in calm silence and resumed his reading without response. His face was hard, from his thin, pointed beard and waxed mustache to his sharp, black eyes. He seemed to suggest a stilletto in a jar of vinegar. Wetherby felt like slapping his face as a diversion, but contented himself with the affection that his traveler was a discourteous brute, whom he didn't care to talk, anyway. "Some of these Creole ducks think they are Spanish dukes yet," he murdered under his breath, irritably. Then he shut his eyes and fell into a nap lulled by the rumbling monotone of the flying train. When he awoke darkness had fallen without doors. The train was at rest at a way station and a moment later he stood and stood adjacent sliding was backed down upon them and coupled to the sleeper. "Supper time," thought Wetherby with a feeling of relief. Here, at least, was a diversion. He would eat, and give thanks that he had an unfailing appetite. Perhaps a bit of red snapper and some gulf coast crabs would restore his spirits. He rose quickly and made his way to his own seat in front. As he stooped over his vialse to open it for some accessory of his toilet his glance fell upon what seemed to be a stile bathed him. He picked it up. It was a dainty ornamental pin, a woman's trifle, to fasten a scarf or ribbon, in the shape of a miniature hand. Upon its chased golden wristband were intertwined the letters P. C. Wetherby examined it with wondering scrutiny. Where was it he had seen that pin of gold before? Surely it once had been familiar. Surely he knew—oh yes, of course he knew. Recollection flowed back upon him as a rising tide. Now he remembered. This was the pin which had been little Pauline's—Pauline Carroll's—his boyhood playmate, Maude Carroll. How long was it? Ten years, at least, Yes, full ten years. She was 16 then, and her parents had sent her to New Orleans to round her education at the seminary of the Sacred Heart. After that—well, he had never seen her. He had gone away, too, from the little plantation-environed village which had been their birthplace, and had returned but once. Then, it was true, he had seen the world. He was cloaked Pauline, and had asked about her. No one could tell him much. Her parents had removed to the big metropolis. That was all. They had been swallowed up. None of the Carrolls ever had come back to Belmont. As for this pin, there could be no two like it, he had seen it a hundred times. As Pauline's, of course, when she was with more vivacity than he had felt during the long day, and as he did so, and half turned to impact his fellow passengers once more. Baldwin is the home of the, only Chinese baby ever born in Kansas. It came last week. Attica is fast assuming metropolitan airs. A young man named Coe was run over by an automobile there the other day. Alice Winkler, 22 years old, who lived ten miles east of Paola, drowned herself in a shallow stream on the farm because of despondency caused by ill health. George McBrier, an old soldier, was run over and killed by a Santa Fe passenger train near Topeka this week. He was walking on the tracks and didn't hear the whistle. The body of N. C. Davis, known as "Nat" Davis, was found in the road near Washington last week. He had fallen from his cart and his neck was broken. Lawrence fell off nearly one-half in her registration. She is an exception among the towns of the state. Most or them held their registration up to the usual figure and some of them made large gains. Governor Stanley has pardoned Joseph Horr, serving a seven years' sentence from Brown county for criminal assault. The governor paroled Horr last year, and his conduct has been so good that a full pardon has been issued. While there are now hundreds of empty cips in Kansas, reports from all parts of the state say that farmers are preparing to build more to hold the big corn crop. This would indicate that the moveof corn to market during the coming winter will not be heavy. Mr. Nusbaum, secretary of the Ottawa Chauqua, has sent word from the East that he has secured Senator M. A. Hanna, John Wanamaker and Mayor Jones for next year's lecture platform. He will endeavor to get a promise from President John Mitchell of the Mine Workers before he returns. Governor Stanley has issued a requisition on the govrnor of Iowa for the return of Harvey Meacham, wanted in Marshall county for grand larceny, Meacham stole a horse and buggy at Marysville and drove it to Iowa, where he was captured. He is now in jail at Cherokee, la., but will be brought back to Kansas for trial. Moses Bertram, an old resident of Junction City, was killed by being run over by a Missouri, Kansas & Texas train. Mr. Bertram was a retired sergeant of the United States army. He had served thirty years and seven months in the army and four years in the navy. The body was given a military burial, the funeral being held at Fort Riley. Winfield has entered into a contract with H. M. Hadley to Topeka to furnish the plans and superintendent the building of a Carnegie library to cost $15,000. The sum was given by Andrew Carnegie last winter. The building is to be on the public school grounds, and, in the meantime, to be a library architecture. The clubs of the town will take steps toward getting books for the library. 1 Four men escaped last week from the Barton county jail by crawling through a hole in one of the windows. This hole was evidently made by some person or persons on the outside. Three of these men were serving out small fines and the other was i nfor forging a ten-dollar note in Holsington. The only man remaining in jail was Frank Springer, who is being held for murder. He says he did not know of the escape until morning. The long period of fine weather in Central Kansas has enabled the farmers to sow a large amount of wheat and drills have been kept busy. But now rain is needed to start the wheat and put it in condition for winter. The fields sown before the fall rains began are in good condition, but those sown in the last three weeks are in need of an inch of rain. Unless the plant gets a good growth before freezing weather begins it may suffer in the winter. "I ought to feel quite styk up," writes a Kansas girl from a small town in one of the Philippine islands, where she is teaching the young Philippine idea how to shoot. "The other day I received a proposal of marriage from the native governor of this province. It was too funny for anything, yet somehow I pitied the fellow when he showed such a lot of disappointment. He has a big rice plantation and acres of sugar lands, too, and I might have been quite 'my lady' if I had cared to." Joint agencies will be established by the Southwestern railroads in New York, Boston and other Eastern cities, and also in the principal European capitals for the purpose of turning the tide of immigration into the Southwest. This move involves an aggressive competition with the Northwestern roads, which have been carrying the greater proportion of westbound emigrants for several years. It is reported that J. Pierpont Morgan has bought the manuscript of Russkin's "Seven Lamps of Architecture" for $25,000. General Ballington Booth and the territorial commanders of the Volunteers of America attending the council at Chicago have under consideration plans for establishing training schools at San Francisco, Chicago and New York. The schools will be for the training of young men and women in evangelistic work. Funds have been raised, and within the next year the schools will be under way. The council is also revising rules regarding the appointment and promotion of officers in the organization. President Roosevelt will make a trip through a part of the South next month, if official business should not make his presence in Washington necessary at that time. The primary object of the trip will be to enable the president to attend the reception to be tendered by the citizens of Memphis to General Luke Wright, vice governor of the Philippines. Subsequently, it is expected, the president will accept an invitation to participate in a bear hunt in the granaries of Mississippi. 1901, by Authors' Syndicate). On the twentieth time that long, gray day Wetherby yawned, in the very desperation of deep ennui. The Pullman was filled with its fair quota of passengers, one to every double seat, and, because he was a reasonably well a rippling voice, sweet as the trill of a bird, accosted him, half laughing, half in velled anxiety, at his elbow. "Pardon me, sir, a thousand times, I beg, if I am wrong, but I have been searching for a pin I would come where in the car a while ago, just after I had left the last station, and I said," she concluded, with a rugish smile, "that you are in a position to claim the reward." It was Pauline, no doubt, Pauline, indeed. But this tall, radiant, beautiful woman was not by any means the unsophisticated country girl whose budding beauty had been the particular flower of Belmont. Evidently she had not recognized in his bearded face the boy of 18 whom she had called Charlie ten years before. His ennui fled like mist before the sun. He would dissemble for a moment. Then they could go to supper together, that the trip would be longer. "Madam," he answered, gravely, bowing in his best manner, "it is quite true that I have found some such trinket as you mention. But as its morally responsible custodian I must beware of all claimants who cannot prove satisfactory ownership. Now if you will only be seated," he motioned to the vacant section beside them, "and describe your lost property, you may be able to set at rest even the deepest scruples I may possess concerning its proper delivery." Young woman laughed appreciation of his jessting speech and with easy grace seated herself, with a gesture that he should sit opposite. "To begin with," she said, looking at him merrily as he professed to scrutinize the pin he concealed within his palm, "it was a gold breastpin; it was in the shape of a hand." "To be sure," assented Wetherell, "but there are many hands. Not all of them are alike." "Yes, but this was a right hand." "Oh!" "And upon its wristband there were two engraved letters." "There are so many combinations of two letters, you know," replied Wetherell, depreciating, "at least 600 odd aren't there?" She made a pretty little move. "But on my pin there were only a P and a C. There, sir, now what can you say?" She was looking straight at him, her merry eyes adance. Surely she was the most beautiful woman who had ever gladdened his critical sight—and he had known many women in that long time. Ah! Since. Was it still too late? He had loved her once as a boy of 19. Now for the first time he knew it. As he returned her long look, something in his own brought the deep color surging to her face. Then it fled away as quickly and she grew very pale. He stretched his hand to hers, hold ing out the golden one within it. ing out the golden one within it. And the reward you spoke of a reward. She rose up hastily. The man with the stiltette beard and the piercing eyes had come down the alce and stood disapprovingly beside them. "It is too late for you and me to talk to you, and her voice sounded like soft music. "Charlie, let me introduce you to my husband. Mr. Robispo, my old friend, Mr. Carroll." In the old Smith Graveyard, in the town of Windham, Me.—which contains 18 graveyards—Charles H. Hunnellwell has set up an extraordinary monument. In the middle of the lot he has set up on a brick case a large iron open fireplace, with the long crane hanging to the upper part. "This fireplace did duty for years in the old Hunnellwell house, which is still occupied by Mr. Hunnellwell and his family," says the Kennebec journal. "The old bricks in front of the fireplace are the ones originally used in the fireplace, as also the enormous which impart to this strange monument such a—if the word is permissible in this connection—hospitable look. The frame which is inserted in this great open fireplace contains a printed record of eight generations of Hunnellwells, or from 1654 to Nov. 1, 1901, a period of 247 years. In addition, the frame contains—surrounding the family record on all sides—pictures of some of the open, cows, hogs and poultry by Mr. Hunnellwell, and which draw prizes for a competition, as also a large picture representing a farm scene in winter. The frame contains pictures of seven hens, two hogs, four cows, six oxen and one group picture of various domestic animals. Prof. R. A. Fessenden, the inventor of a wireless system which the government is experimenting with, announced recently while on a visit to his native city (Pittsburg, Pa.) that three experimental and commercial stations will soon be established at Cape Hatteras and three more will be located along the Cheapeake Bay. The professor said that during the recent maneuvers messages were sent in great numbers for a distance of 15 miles, and that the mast used on the boats equipped with his system was much shorter than those of the maneuvers. He said that he was engaged in experiments with the object of dispensing with the mast entirely, and he felt sure that success would soon crown his efforts. This will mean a great advance in this system of communication. Some new anecdotes of King Ludwig II are related in the Jugent of Munich. One day he said to his court plantist, Hans von Bulow: "A short time before I ascended the throne I was still sent to bed at 10 o'clock every evening, after kissing my father's hand. Then my mother came into my room to see that I was warmly covered. Shortly thereafter I was king. It was a disadvantage hard to overcome." What he meant by this was made clear by a remark he gave to the jurist, Bernard Windscheid: "I am afraid you thought me, at first, rather communicative. But the fact is, when I servant I am apt to be reticent for fear of exposing my lack of knowledge. I too, was to have been sent to a university, but that plan was spilled by my sudden call to the throne." NEW STYLE OF BATH In Finland a novel form of vapor bath has recently become popular. A person who proposes to enjoy it lies down at full length in a hammock, which is suspended over a large bath tub filled with ice cold water. An attendant then throws into this water some hot bricks, whereupon a vapor arises and envelops the person lying in the hammock. For some minutes the attendant allows him to remain exposed to the vapor, then after removing the bricks, he gives the hammock a jerk and the gentleman in it comes plump down into cold water. Those who have tried this method of bathing say that the sensation is quite novel and that the sudden plunge into the cold water really invigorates one. Their Only Hope "believe," said-Miss Oldun, sharply that she should be a judge against bachelors. "Nonsense," exclaimed Peppery: "why, the only hope of some women are the bachelors, for the widows are to particular." -Philadelphie, Press Milazze Goss, aged 20 years, of Brittian, shot and killed herself while waiting for mail at the postoffice. Dais appointment over a love affair is the supposed cause. Enid boasts of eighteen manufacturing establishments and sixteen jobbing houses. Enid is one of the most promising cities in Oklahoma. Three "big mit" men at Lawton tried to bunca a farmer on the old trick, but the farmer was wise, called an officer, and the police judge made it an even $100 and costs for each of the three grafters. Two girls and a boy, 5, 7 and 10 years old, were burned to death at Guthrie last week. Their mother had gone out to her day's work, looking the children in. The father, Samuel Crowder, is a railroad labored and was away at work. E. R. Laingor, a locomotive engineer of Chicago, IL, dropped dead in a boat at Shawnee, Ok., shortly after eating a quantity of nuts, which the physician's claim caused heart failure. He was 60 years old and was touring Oklahoma for his health. Judge Frank iGillette has opened the third term of the district court ever held at Lawton. This term is a very important one.

A new town, Eagle City, is to be established in Oklahoma, fifty five miles south and west of Enid, on November 18 by Kansas and Iowa promoters. The proposed town will be located on an extension of the "Frisco system" and its site is in the center of a line county which already is attracting homekeepers. Amos Pierce, a wealthy farmer of Kay county, was convicted and sentenced about a year ago to a term of five years in the penitentiary for real estate property. Pierce appealed his case to the United States court of appeals at St. Louis, which affirmed the decision of the Oklahoma supreme court. Pierce, who has been out of bond, will be taken to the penitentiary at once to serve his sentence. Quanah Parker, the chief of all the Comanche Indians, has been appointed deputy sheriff and was sworn in the court room dressed in citizen's clothes, except his hair, which was braided down his back.

The telegraph company has placed nine electric clocks at central points in the town of Muskogee. The master clock is placed in the telegraph office and will regulate the time. Indian Agent J. Blair Shoenfelt has drawn a check for $100,450.98 on the subresearch of St. Louis in favor of D. N. Fink, cashier of the Commercial National bank of Muskogee. The money is an installment to the credit of the Cherokee warrant fund now being paid out at that place. United States Commissioner Leekley has commuted Moses Seymour to jail for one year and assessed a fine of $500. Seymour was arrested for beating his child at the graders' camp on the Ozark & Cherokee Central railroad near Ogrt Gibson. The testimony showed that Seymour became enraged and stood his child up before the fire and whipped her until she could hardly stand. At another time she incurred the displeasure of her father by asking for a drink during the night, and he got up and made her drink a gallon of water. "Slip me a thousand-dollar bill or two."

The electrical strength of the tree varies according to the time of day it being strongest at midday and weakest at midnight. In wet weather its power disappears altogether.

CONSUMPTION The St. Lawrence river is frozen four months of the year, and its navigation is so difficult that an average of one steamer a month is wrecked on its waters. Millions of butterflies are eaten every year by the Australian aborigines. The insects congregate in vast quanti- ties on the rocks of the Bugon Mountains and the natives secure them by kindling fires of damp wood and thus sufficiting them.

There was a happy gathering at the home of Weems Heagy, near Anderson, recently. Mr. Heagy is a farmer, and it was for the first time in thirty years that the family had gathered about his Sunday dinner table, with the gathering of knowing that the last note of a mortgage on the old home place had been lifted. Since 1873, when Mr. Heagy was treasurer of Madison county, he has been paying by installments, $20,000 and interest to Madison county to make good the loss of the county when the Stilwell bank failed and caught that amount of hte funds of the county treasurer. His bondsmen were ready to back him, but Mr. Heagy gave notes and mortgages with approved security and set to work to pay off the debt. He returned to farming and has been at it steadily, paying off the debt to the home and gradually building up a home for himself. Saturday afternoon he walked into the county treasurer's office and paid $300. That canceled the last note.-Indianapolis News. The London Speaker tells this story of a discussion at a university debating society in which it was agreed that "£200 a year is the best income for a bachelor." One speaker opposed the motion in a speech of some humor. His chief objection to the estimate was that a bachelor could not hope to marry on such an income. Up rose a fluent gentleman from the east who to tatters the arguments of those who had opposed the motion with tremendous fire and energy. He kept the previous to the last, and annihilated him in the following words: "The honorable gentleman, sir, says that a bachelor cannot marry on £200 a year. But allow me to explain, in full fallacy underlying the honorable gentleman's argument, Sir. I maintain ex hypothes, and I respectfully submit that my contention can in no wise be controverted, that the moment a bachelor marries, he, liso—facto—ceases—to-be—a bachelor!" He then sat down, complacently smiling, amid a storm of applause. A correspondent has been proceeding in a contemporary on the interesting subject of music as a therapeutic agent. It is claimed, as it was aforetime, that music hath charms—charms other than those which enthusiastic people seek even during midsummer heat in concert hall and drawing-room. One of the correspondents declares that a beautiful air, even when played on a barrel organ, will frequently suffice to there are cases quoted of rabid fever cured by the use of a violin, and Jirr Andrew Clark and Sir Richard Quam are mentioned as supporters of the Guild of St. Cecilia. All this may help to persuade the professional unbeliever that there is possibly "something in it," but we do not ourselves quite see what examples are needed to prove that distracted nerves and feverish blood must inevitably be soothed by gentle strains of music. It is a fact self-evident. If music can charm away worry and anxiety in the case of healthy people, how much more should it soothe the sufferer on a bed of sickness. If this fact were more generally believed we have no doubt that many a sick bed would be rendered less intolerable to the sick person. It is the deadly silence, the enforced idleness, the long-drawn procession of leaden-footed hours that make nursing so hard to bear. To a man of active habits the lying in bed is infinitely more harassing to the nervous system than the fever itself—London Globe. ABSOLUTE SECURITY. Genuine Carter's Little Liver Pills.

Immigration Surpasses All Records. A much more significant index of prosperity or depression is the inflow of new workers from Europe, who come to this country from abroad as idly as "jobs" open. During the twelve months ended June 30, 1902, the number of immigrants recorded at the port of New York was close upon half a million (493,262)—a number which surpassed all previous figures of that port, although the total immigration at all ports of the United States was somewhat larger in 1881 and 1882 than in the fiscal year just closed. This unprecedented flocking of Europeans to New York must be directly ascribed to the marked prosperity of American immigrants in the fiscal year for immigration has been steadily and rapidly increasing since a contributory cause, as may be observed in the recent increase of emigration from Germany; but the bulk of the transatlantic migration to the United States still consists of Italians, Poles and Slavs, whose home industry has not experienced the hard times that have come upon Germany, and who have, therefore, been among the most successful in theings of the innumerable opportunities for employment that exist in America. —New York Labor Bulletin.

All this month Paris has heard a great deal about the movements of the shah, his ministers and official attendants. A lady journalist has been exceedingly wrythreaten the cause of her anger is that while everybody has been writing and talking about the shah, nothing is said concerning the women of Persia, either of high or low degree. Nobody has troubled to say a word or to give any information about the ladies or the bourgeoises of Teheran. The lady journalist accordingly undertakes to fill up the void. She insists that Persian women are among most prestigious in the most plished and the most intelligent of Oriental females. In the upper class, however, the peculiar education of Persian girls tends to make them rather silly. They are handed over to a narrow-minded, ignorant mollad badji, or governess, until they are ready for matrimony. No monach, according to "M. A. P." has shown a warmer appreciation of newspaper power and newspaper men than King Edward. There are quite a number of the latter who can boast of his personal friendship, and are able to show trinkets which he has given them as souvenirs. Several, indeed, belong to his immediate circle, notably Sir "Billy" Russell, the veteran war correspondent of the Times, who was once attached to his suite as honorary private secretary, and has still, I believe, the right to wear the household button when in court dress. King Edward, until the time of his accession to the throne, was in the habit of paying an annual visit to King Edward, the editor of the proprietors of the Telegraph, as a sort of recognition for the support which that paper had given to his own and Queen Alexandra's charitable enterprises. At least two dozen newspaper editors were knighted by Queen Victoria at the suggestion of the king, several newspaper proprietors have received baronetics, and one, Lord Glenesk, has received a peerage. The late Prof. Virchow had a sense of humor and appreciated that quality in others. One day, while he was lecturing, he noticed that one of the students, instead of listening and taking notes, was staring vacantly out of the window at the professor. "let me call my attention to the fact that we are studying pathology here, not botany." On another occasion the joke was on the professor. He was angry because a student could not name the exact color of a preparation he showed him. Finally he asked sarcastically: "What would you say was the color of my coat?" The student had been better days and the student replied promptly: "it seems to have been blue." Virchow laughed loudly at this hit, and after asking a few more easy questions, let the student pass.

The story of the rapid rise of M. Witte from obscurity to the position of minister of finance is a very remarkable one. This man, now the financial brain of Russia, began life with a fair education, as a clerk in one of the department of the Odessa railway, with headquarters at that port. Within a short time it was noted that he was the most successful of the whole force. Accordingly he was given a work. Again, he did his work better than anybody else had done it before. And so, steadily and rapidly, he rose to the management of the road. A greater line, the Kief railway, then claimed his services. He was made a director and he had administrator of this line, and that was finally nominated to the government by the directors as managing director. The government said: "Who is Witte?" and rejected him. Again the directors unanimously nominated him to the government, and again the government said "Who is Witte?" and rejected him. First time, as the story runs, the director's government concluded that a man thus insistently urged must have decided merit, and ratified his nomination. As the managing director of this line, he made it the best road, during his administration, in the empire. He became an expert on railway tariffs. He improved the permanent way. He improved the rolling stock. He introduced rigid system. He so economized that he turned channels of expenditure into channels of revenue. The government made a bill of Russia, and instead the railway world of Europe in it but be impressed, and were impressed, and so Vysumgradrady, then finance minister, offered him the head of the railway department of the ministry of finance because of his unrivaled knowledge and resource in the matter of railway tariffs. He accepted, and for a few months conducted this department with the same notable ability that had formerly marked his railway management. Then the position of minister of ways and communications became vacant. The chief officer, who had made himself, by effort and ability—and nothing else—the chief railway man of the empire, to this cabinet position. He held it for a year with brilliancy and distinction. Then fate yielded at last her entire favors to this man who would not be denied. The position of minister of finance became vacant and the czar was forced to become an orical financiers—over all—to the practical man of affairs who knew how to create sources of revenue economically after it had been collected. This Witte mounted to the high place at the right hand of the czar. He was a patient, sleepless, ceaseless, active, stern and silent man—The Scotman. WORLD'S SMALLEST BOOKS Two Wonderful Specimens of the Printer's Art. Mr. George Salmon of Paris asserts that he owns the smallest book in the world. It is a Dante ten millimetres by six—that is, about one-third of an inch by one-fourth—and was printed in Holland, which was celebrated for such work, in 1674. The Salmon Brothers of Paris now claim that they have produced t he most wonderful specimen of the printer's art and the smallest in existence—it is one-third smaller than the smallest in one-fourth of inch by one-eighth approximately—has 208 pages, each nine lines from 5 to 100 letters. It is an unpublished letter of Gallileo to Mme. Christine of Lorraine, written in 1615. The Got-to-Be-Identified Rule One night last week a well-educated and well-dressed young man from the South applied at one of the downtown police stations for shelter for the night. He was hungry; not having had anything to eat for twenty-four hours, and the police captain, a kindly man, fed him a book car of him after hearing his story. The young Southerner had come to New York on a visit, and, having spent all of his money, he had written home to his folks, well-to-do people, for more money. They sent him a money order for $100. The young man had the money order in his pocket when he applied to the police for a night's lodging. He had tried ineffectually all day to get the money office told him that he would positively have to be identified. He didn't know a soul in New York, and therefore it was utterly impossible for him to be identified. He had a pocket full of letters showing who he was and where he had come from, but that didn't make any difference. He couldn't get his hundred, nor any fraction thereof. So he had to walk the streets, hungry, all day, with a piece of paper worth $100 in his pocket, and when night fell he had no means of getting under cover without appalling the police. He decided to get the young man's money order cashed on the next day, but not without a good deal of trouble and red tape. "that you've got-to-be-identified" ulitatum of the money order clerk in New York is a good deal of a positive nuisance. Just why that system should prevent and not elsewhere is uxzler—New York Correspondence Washington Star. Full Name Was Worse An energetic and youtiful solicitor has just opened a shop in an eighbil and quarrelsome town of Sussex. So socially he is progressing, a d his socially is probably a precursor to his professional popularity. The name office reads, "A. Swindler," solicitor. A friend called in and remarked: "Man alive, look at it hat sign! Put in your name in full—alexander, or whatever it is. Don't you see hom it reads now. Oh, yes, I know; but I don't exactly like to do it." "Why not?" said the stranger; "it looks very bad as it is. What is your Christian name?" "Adam"—Modern Society. Hard to Sight. Shortly before the civil war, when Charles Burleigh of Chester county was making his famous series of speeches in favor of the Abolitionists' cause, he ran across an earnest opponent in a young man of Drumore township. Lancaster county, who faced Burleigh in a public debate. The latter however had adroit too much practice and expertise for his opponent, who, beginning to lose his temper, said rather childish: "Mr. Burleigh has been firing many shots at me; but he has not hit me yet! "You see," quietly explained Burleigh to the crowd, "the mark is entirely too small."-Philadelphia Public Ledger. If Russell Sage has consented to leave Wall street he is certainly sick. Anniversary of Reformation Celebrated Last Night. The First Lutheran church was well filled last night to join in the celebration of the anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant reformation in Germany, 385 years ago. They met to go over the memory of Martin Luther and the time so many years ago when he nailed his ninety-five theses upon the church in Heidelberg, Germany, and gave to the world an epoch, a new light which has been ever growing larger. The goodness and greatness of Martin Luther was the theme and the foundation and the belief and the objects of the Lutheran church were dwelt upon by the speaker of the evening, Dr. Carl Swenson, president of Bethany college, at Lindsburg, Kas. The gathered followers of the great reformer were told that had it not been father, had it not been for his declaration, in belief, in mind, the great American hero, that have not been possible. The Declaration Independence, he declared, had for its foundation the liberty principles of Luther. Incidental to an address which held the closest attention of his hearers and in which the speaker spoke with a feeling and enthusiasm of the different incidents of Luther's life, Dr. Swenson took occasion to denounce the recent act of the Chicago university in declaring against co-education as a detestable act and a step backward to that great university. He glorified that Dr. Harper, the head of that institution, was not a Lutheran and said that he wouldn't be surprised if the next move of Dr. Harper a Rockefeller would be to get out an injunction against girls being born of the same parent. This came up incidental to a part of his address in which he said that Martin Luther was the first pedagogue to declare that women had the same rights to education as men. Rev. Dr. L. S. Keyser, of Atchison, and Rev. Dr. A. J. Zeigler, pastor of the local church, also took part in the services. During the afternoon a meeting of the ministers of the two Kansas Citys was held at the church to talk over the reformation and its different with he singing of Luther's great hymn, with the singing of Luther's great hymn, "Ein Feste Burg." Dr. Swenson told of his visit to the grave of Luther and then proceeded to outline the move of the reformation. He spoke of the character of the man and what his work has meant to the world. "Nothing has created such a stir in the religious world as the thesis of Luther. Far back in 1517, in the darkness of the middle ages, the old light—we call it the new—shone upon the world. We should be proud to be the sons of such a church, the church of the first Protestant conquest. Luther was the reformer of the sixteenth century, the reformer of all centuries. The conversion of that one German was the beginning of a new world—a new epoch—more beautiful, more wonderful than in all history." Luther's great struggle with his conscience was told of, and his final outburst against the conditions of the times, when so much money bought the forgiveness of sins. Luther believed that forgiveness could only be found through faith in God. The life of a Christian should be only a life of love and a life of service. "Luther and his reformation were great because he had the true conception of life in general. He had supreme power over the faith of the God. If the Bible is the faith of religion is false. Lutheran Christianity stands on the old platform that the word of God is contained in the Bible and that the Bible is the word of God and an inspired book." Dr. Swenson closed with a plea for a united Lutheran church and the citing of a few figures to show that there were 68,000,000 Lutherans in the world, while combined, the five other leading Protestant denominations only equaled 60,000,000. A Wondercul Pill Freedom, Mo., Niv. 3rd.—A splendid remedy has recently been introduced in this neighborhood. It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and it has cured Rheumatism right and left. On every hand may be heard stories of the remarkable recoveries and from what has been stated already there seems to be no case of Rheumatism that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure. One of those who has already tested the virtue of Dodd's Kidney Pills is Katie Anderson of this place, who says: "I can't say enough for Dodd's Kidney Pills. They have helped me so much. I suffered very severely with Rheumatism. Five boxes cured me completely. They are certainly the most wonderful medicine I have ever used." Osage County abounds in just such cases and if the good work keeps on there will soon be no Rheumatism left in this part of the state. A Fair Exchange--Editor (Squashville News)—See here, Mr. Dolan!

Word has just reached Washington that Old Tabby, chief of the Ulntah Utes for as far back as the memory of the oldest inhabitant runs, died one day last week, near White Rock agency, aged 104 years. He is now day the friend of Brigham Young, and did much in his time to preserve peace between his people and the whites. After brooding fifteen years over the accidental shooting of a friend, Henry Sweet, a farmer living in Bloom township, near East Glenwood, Illinois, killed himself with the same shotgun that had ended his friend's life. The accident for which the farmer apparently desired to atone occurred while Sweet and his friend were on a hunting trip. No blame was attached to Sweet. He leaves a wife and five children.

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 turned 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 being such a comfort to those poor sick women. There were just enough dolls for each to have. Ah OUR GREAT To the Colored Pe LUSTO UR GREAT OFFER Colored People of the World. LUSTORONE THE GREATEST OF ALL HAIR TONICS.
