President Says the Question of "Negro Domination" Does Not Enter Into the Matter at All—Blacks on the Same Footing as Whites Politically The president has sent the following communication to a prominent citizen of Charleston, S. C.: VOL. 15. NO. 41. Oldest and The Future Political COLOR IS MR. ROOSEVELT WILL WHEN THE PLAIN TALK TO LATTER HAD PROTE APPOINTMENT President Says the Question Does Not Enter Into the on the Same Footing The president has sent the following Charleston, S. C.: Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of November 10, and of one from Mr.—— under date of November 11, in references to the appointment of Dr. Crum as collector of the port of Charleston. In your letter you make certain specie life charges against Dr. Crum, tending to show his unfitness in several respects for the office sought. These charges are entitled to the utmost consideration from me, and I shall go over them carefully before taking any action. After making these charges you add, as further reason for opposition to him, that he is a colored man, and after reciting misdeeds that followed carpet bag rule and Negro domination in South Carolina, you say that, 'We have sworn never again to submit to the rules of the African and such an appointment asthat of Dr Crum to any such office forces us to protest unanimously against this insult of the white blood,' and you add that you understood me to say that I would never force a Negro on such a community as yours. Mr.—, puts the objection of color first; saying that, first he is a colored man, and that itself ought to bar him from the office. In view of these last statement, I think I ought to make clear to you why I am concerned and pained by your making them, and what my attitude is as regards all such appointments. "How anyone could have gained the idea that I had said I would not appoint reputable and upright colored men to office, when objection was made to them solely on account of their color, I confess I am unable to understand. At the time of my visit to Charleston last spring, I had made, and since that time I have made, a number of such appointments from several states in which there is a considerable colored population. For example, I made one such appointment in Mississippi and another in Alabama shortly before my visit to Charleston. I had at this time appoint two colored men as judicial magistrates in the District of Columbia. I have recently announced another such appointment for New Orleans and have just made one from Pennsylvania. The great majority of my appointment in every state have been of white men. North and South alike, it has been my sedulous endeavor to appoint only men of high character and good capacity whether white or black. But it is my consistent state in every state where their number warrant it to recognize colored men of good repute and standing in making appointments to office. These appointments of colored men have in no state made more than a small proportion of the total number of appointments. I am unable to see how I can legitimately be ask to make an exception for South Carolina. "In South Carolina to the four most important po NOTICE.

I have been informed by the citizen of Charleston whom I have met that these four men represent a high grade of public service. "I do not intend to appoint any unfit man to office. So far as I legitimately can, I shall always endeavor to pay regards to the wishes and feelings of the people of each locality; but I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope-the door of opportunity-is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy purely upon the grounds of race or color. Such an attitude would, according to my convictions, be fundamentally wrong. "If, as you hold, the great bulk of the colored people are not yet fit in point of character and influence to hold such positions, it seems to me that it is worth while putting a premium upon the effort among them to achieve the character and standing which will fit them. "The question of Negro domination does not enter into the matter at all. It might as well be asserted that when I was governor of New York I sought to bring about Negro domination in that state because I appointed two colored men of good character and standing to responsible positions—one of them to a position paying a salary twice as large as that paid in the office now under consideration; one of them as a director of the Buffalo Exposition. The question raised by you and Mr.——in the statements to which I refer is simply whether it is to be declared that, under no circumstances, shall any man of color, no matter how upright and honest, no matter how good a citizen, no matter how fair in his dealings with all his fellows, be permitted to hold any office under our government. I certainly cannot assume such an attitude, and you must permit me to say that, in my view, it is an attitude no man should assume, whether he looks at it from the standpoint of the true interest of the white or colored man of the South-not to speak of any other section of the Union. It seems to me that it is a good thing from every standpoint to let the colored man know that if he shows in a marked degree the qualities of good citizenship—the qualities which in a white man we feel are entitled to reward—then he will not be cut off from all hope of similar reward. "Without any regard as to what my decision may be on the merits of this particular applicants for this particular place, I feel that I ought to let you know clearly my attitude on the far broader question raised by you and Mr.—, an attitude from which I have not varied during my term of office.

Durham of Philadelphia the appointment as one of the assistant attorneys to appear for the government before the Spanish war claims commission, and the latter will accept. Durham is one of the best known Colored lawyers in that city, and the former minister to Hayt. He is active in politics, and was indored for the assistant attorneyship by Senators Quay and Penrose. In his work before the commission Durham will be associated with Judge Fuller of Iowa and Hannis Taylor, Durham will probably be seat to Cuba to gather evidence for presentation to the commission. John S. Durham was U. S. consul to Hayti under the Harrison administration and was made minister to the same country on the retirement from that office by the late Fredrick Douglass. On his retirement from the Hayti ministry Mr. Durham took a position as supervisor of Cuban plantation for an American syndicate, but has now for some time been practicing law in Philadelphia. Mr. Durham is a native of the city of Brotherly.-Love, and is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. He was formerly a well known newspaper correspondent in his native city. Mr Durham is associated with Judge Fuller, a well-known lawyer of Iowa, and ex-Minister Hannis Tayler to Spain. who is a native and a well known southerner residing at Mobile, Ala. It will be the duty of these three attorneys to look out for the interest of the United States in the claims arising out of the Spanish war in cuba, which are being preferred against this country by the Spanish government.

The demand for it is far beyond all previous years. To say that such results, reaching through Thirty Years, are not based upon sound sense and usefulness, is an insult to the intelligence of the millions. Prof. Hicks, through this great Almanac, and his famous family and scientific journal Word and Works, is doing a work for the whole people not approached by any other man or publication. A fair test prove this to any reasonable person. Added to the most luminous course in astronomy for 1903, forecast of storms and weather are given, as never before, for every day in the year, all charming all charming illustrated with nearly two hundred engravings. The price of single Almanac, including postage and mailing is Thirty cents. Word and works with the Almanac is $1.00 a year.

Professor Branson, in a recent address before the students of the Georgia State Industrial College at Savannah, Ga., orged his hearers to be practical and to sit themselves for greater usefulness in life. He said that he had very little respect for the man who, at thirty years of age, was not living under his own vine and fig tree. He quoted a mark of George Foster Peabody, that it be ter to raise two potatoes than to play one piano. The trend of his remarks showed him to be a firm believer in the utilitarian school. If we correctly understand him, he would perhaps spend but little time on the esthetical studios, but would only teach those things which may be tured to practical value. All of this goes to show how deep and how strong a grasp the industrial idea has borne great fruit at the State College for nowhere else in the have the students crested so fine and imposing an edifice as right there on the college campus; FEWER NEGRO SOLDIERS. An order received today at the department of Missouri, reducing the total number of enlisted men, has special effect in cutting down the number of Negro soldiers in the department, about 450 being discharged. Of this number 376 belong to the Twenty-fifth infantry stationed at Fort N obrara and Reno, and 73 from the Tenth cavalry, at Forts Sill and Robinson. The discharged men are divided into three-classes—those discharged for the good of the service, those unfitted for service and those no longer required. Rose Hill Baptist church—Thanksgiving service was indeed an enjoyable one at the Rose Hill church. In the morning at usual time as on Sabbath Rev. D. B. Jackson ascended the pulpit and delivered one of his able instructive sermons on the occasion. Many of the members were out at the request, but as Rev. Jackson was visiting Rev. J. W. Gordon, Newton, many thought he would not be home. After the church had listened to such hollow remarks, how the Lord had blessed them, at the pastors suggestion, it was unanimously consented to give a donation to Douglass Hospital and Ornhans home. Then one of the best dinners in the was served. After realizing $32.75 at 8.15 p.m. All had left for home. We never witnessed much better time.

He Took the Job A characteristic story is told of Abe Gruber, the well-known New York lawyer. When he was a boy looking for something to do he saw the sign, Boy Wanted," hanging outside a store in New York. He picked up the sign and entered the store. The proprietor met him. "What did you bring that sign is here for?" asked the storekeeper. "You won't need it any more," said Gruber, cheerfully. "I'm going to take the job." Our Trade in the Transvaal An American piano, retailing here or $20, fetches $50 in the Transvaal. An organ fetches $50 here sells for $150 there. American saddles and harness don't suit the Boers, the former being too high-priced and the latter too fine or the rough overland work of trekking. In the canned meat line, Australia so far undersells Chicago that our packers are in despair. Our manufacturers sold over 7,000 tons of barbed wire in 1897 to the Transvaal, but, strange to say, the fence posts same from Germany and England. Four iceplants were furnished for the Kimberley mines by Chicago, having an aggregate capacity of twenty tons a day, besides 100,000 cubic feet of cold storage.—New York Press. Clarified Sugar. Take the quantity of fine white loom sugar you intend to clarify, add to it very clean warm water, half a pint for every pound; when dissolved add to it the white of one or two eggs, as the quantity may require, well whipped; put it on the fire, and when it comes to a boll pour into it an ordinary teacupful of cold water; on its rising again to a boll remove it and let it settle for twenty minutes; skim the scum from the top, pour off the syrup into a clean vessel with sufficient quickness to leave all the sediment at the bottom and such steadiness as to prevent sify of the latter rising and mixing with it. HE TOOK THE SHOWER BATH. And It Drove Him From the Yosemite Back to New England. After a week of little journeys, striking nere and there a few miles to an sorp the Yosemite valley from a doz coignes of vantage, we were whipping the infiloute one afternoon for mount tam trout, says the World's Work. "I tomorrow," said a voice, "I shall take a shower bath under the seventen hundred foot fall." "You," said another voice, "are a fool." "Not at all," came back argumentatively, "The river's very low. What there is of it turns to, pray in the first hundred feet; it will simply come down like rain. Why, you'd go under the broial vell yourself. Only that's prosaic. This 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 main stream than falls to the pool and upon the rocks with a murderous swish in the air and a roar like a railway train when it strikes was a moment of joy. Any more, a vering wind might swing the whole mass upon the tail, sim figure backing tentatively on all fours 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 flash the human figure was blotted in a deuge that turned me sick; it played on the spot frenishily, is seemed to rae, standing horrified there, and then slowly it swear away. And then there was a moment, a painful, crawling moment, down there on the slope, and I scrambled down the slippery rocks to help a blinking creeping, much surprised youth, bleeding from a hundred cuts, up to where his clothes lay. 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!" TOO MUOH OF A PROBLEM. Astronomer Couldn't Get Line on Young Man And His Best Girl. Man and 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 conduction, 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 being considered, at the end of thirteen years and six months, what will be their respective relations?" "Where are their 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 paint 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 department of zoology of the University of Chicago has bought a collection of 50,000 insects. This great number of "bugs" was collected from all parts of the world by the late John K. Hurst, an entomologist of Bov. Oklahoma N. Y. The collection is valuable because of its completeness and it represents careful work extinct and over many years. NOVEMBER 28 1902 SARSERS WHO MAKE MONEY. Those Who Serve Patrons at Their Homes Get Large Ties. 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 past in New York, but proppers here still, says the New York Sun. These barbers are working who have acquired 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 more 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 woul be asked in them. THE CELL OF NOTABLES. Occupied by Earl Russell, Stead and Edmund H. Yates. In connection with the cell of Halloyay jail where Harl 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 this country about six years ago as the author of a book, "If Christ Should Come to Chicago," that was regarded as so blasphemous the big news companies refused to handle it. In 1884 Stead created a remarkable commotion by alleging that English society was permitted by the most horrible morality. 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 for this he had to undergo prison detention for three months. The offense 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, Tal-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 Tal-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 Tal-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 £9,000 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 otter a bear ing fifty or more files. The otter itself is a floating piece of board, leaded along one edge to keep it upright. The poacher walks along the sides of leash or river, letting out the air-designed line as he goes, the MR. SATAN'S WAYS.

Antoinette Carroll was a sophisticated and wholly worldly person of six or seven and twenty years. To begin, she had money, more money than 40,000 of American women ever dream of in their hopes, and so on. Copyright. or hope for in their dreams. To continue, her social position was unimproved, and she was full and full morocco binding; it was 18 carat; the real thing; a very Kohinoor among social positions. Mistress Marguerite Antoinette Carroll was not only a daughter of the American Revolution but a Colonial Dame as well, not only had ancestors of hers flaunted their curls through the Carolinas at the heels of the hard-riding Swamp Fox and helped to pen the unlucky Cornwallis into the bear trap at Yorktown, but other ancestors more remote. She was a stockade and pursued them into the rank tangles back of the Chesapeake, for the greater glory of the king, and the greater safety of the suckling colonies, long before ever a Washington had trodden a cisatlantic shore. Now these things be but vanity, it may be, but Marguerite Carroll hugged them not the less to her heart, and held high her head because of them. But let us proceed with this schedule of possessions. An: An education which embraced familiar knowledge with half the capitals and courts of Europe. Item: A face and figure that artists raved over; a crown of shining hair that seemed a thicket to entangle even Cupid himself. Item: Miss Carroll was her own mistress, having neither parent nor guardian nor trustee, to coerce her humors or her vigorates. She resided, when she felt like it, with her Uncle Henshaw and her aunt, in Washington. Sometimes she paid to New York and her grandmother a winter visit long enough to make her an admired spectator at the horse show or the opera. Then she would flee to California or the Riviera; to the City of Mexico or up the Nile; anywhere her fancy pleased, dragging along by her Henshaw and some conventional chaperon of eminent respectability and impartial blindness. Nevertheless, however much one might think to the contrary, Marguerite Carroll was as wholly dissatisfied with existence as could be a woman who possessed neither wealth nor health, birth nor beauty. She did exactly as she wished, yet would have loved her. She loved the world, yet would rather have been shut within some cage of home, subject to the beck and call of a lord and master. Her soul was starved for love. She sighed for the heart ties of an adorer whom she could herself adore—and found it not. The enrol of a satiety which has drunk up the wine of pleasure until one looks upon the very bottom of the glass possessed her restless spirit and rendered him vulnerable to love. Under the blue ice of her habitual demeanor smouldered sapphire passions needing only vent to rise to devouring volcanic flames. Wooors, yes, in scores, she had had, and toyed with archly, but not one had come beneath whose mask of words and conventional protestations she had not read, or fancied she could read, the insinuity of the hardness of fortunes, the insinuity of hardiness, the denblable marble beauty. She had no soul, all her suitors said, as one by one they relinquished the seemingly impossible task of kindling a fire upon the frigid altar of her heart. Therefore, at last, from the crucible of her discontent, of her increasing years, of the unrequited cravings of a nature ardent at the core, had emerged a self upon mankind by artfully awakening passions she did not return, by arousing hopes she nurtured only that she might uproot. She declared a secret war against the race of what Mme. Sarah Grand had dubbed "mere men," and pursued her campaigns dielytely. Since it was denied to her, alone she would select, she would select, she would at least be happy in the making of mankind miserable. Thus it was, as the season waned, that Miss Carroll, her cousin Julia, the discreet Mrs. Sylvester Beaumont, their traveling sacrifice to the properties, hurrying eastward from a summer voyage to the great Muir glacier, Sitka and Alaskan waters, stopped at Minnesota to catch their breath, and that Marquette decided to rest for a week amid the enchanting ice of the glacier shores. They found at the great Hotel St. Louis a half emptied house and the quiet the imperious mistress of the little company had so suddenly and capriciously sought. It was glorious there. The ozone airs sweeping the hill-pinnacled caravans were rarest medicines for weariness. The vagrant shore lines spread about the broadening vista of the queen of the woods, with variegated tinties to which the wooded trees touched by autumn's master brush, lent the chromatic splendors of the kaleidoscope. Marguerite and her rod became familiares of the rising son. Along the winding dirt roads of old Hennepin she enjoyed many an afternoon gallop between the radiant walls of the turning lakes, with the tree-crowned dams of Big Island, haunted by legend, or through the narrows to the rougher waters of the expanded lake, lent a closing zest to days with nature. When the copper shield of the harvest moon rose a flaming disc in the east and the many-stringed orchestra in the wooded concord, they sat in peace under the soft influences of moon and star and were content. Here Marguerite, the desolate, found her cavalier. He was a student at the University of Minnesota, a boy of 20 just through his junior year, working his way to education by the labor of his own hands. At the big summer hotel he served as an amateur guide, boatman, equerry, escort, to those who needed him. It was Henry who best knew where lurked the biggest bass, and to what bait they would rise. He could sail a single sticker with the intrigue and assurance of a cup challenger. He could row for hours without fatigue. He rode like a life guardman and knew the secret pockets of the woods like a trapper. In addition, Henry Lestrange was as handsome as the young Antinous, a student who made fair to become a leader a sympathetic man within his aspiring breast dwelt a soul whose young ambition had raised a ladder whose higher rungs were hidden in the sympathetic skies. This was the attendant who had been placed wholly at the service of Miss Carroll's party—which meant at the pleasure of Miss Carroll herself. She viewed him languidly at first, as she might have viewed any other domesticated creature assigned to do her bidding. On the second day she became aware that she was going to look upon. Then she adroitly delved in the depths of his unsophisticated mind and found its native keenness and its alloy of innocence a mine of strange gems she had never looked upon. The task of breaking a heart so simple, so ingenious, so unsullied, so limpid in its virginal simplicity, seemed to her a languorous pastime quite in harmony with her intention of restfulness. It would have been a great pleasure it would while the Minneconkan hours. She undertook it, armed with the softly insidious wiles a deep experience had begotten. But it was not long before Marguerite perceived the random fire of her ambushed batteries was ineffectual to disturb this unconscious opposing force. Henry was studiously polite, unquenchably good humored. No petulance anecdotes were heard when his hand touched hers as he steadied her step into a rocking coat, or assisted her to the saddle, or halped her through a ferny bog seeking for wood treasures, she could feel no tremor, could see no mantling of hot blood to his unmoved cheek. Initially this pleased her, the quarry were ambushed and seized for the hunter. The game promised a rarer interest than she had honed The week Miss Carroll had marked for her sojourn passed. She reengaged her apartments, indefinitely. Minneotka had far more entrances than she had known, she said. She released her chaperon from attendance, and defiantly went upon long excursions with Lestrange alone. They walked together in the woods_rode in the dusk, rowed in the moonlight, now growing faint. He remained unresponsive. She prevailed of his conquest. One night she cried herself to sleep, she. Marguerite Carroll, who had thrown over princes and disdained ministers, and awoke to know that she was hopelessly in love. Her bosom raged between a glowing scorn of her own weakness and a deep new-learned tenderness for the man she loved. The situation became cruelly undurable. She determined to end it, to crush her pride with a gun. She and by one master stroke to gain all. "We are going away tomorrow, Mr. Lestrange," she said, on the evening this resolution had been formed. "I have a telegram from uncle which recalls us at once to Washington." They were sitting alone upon the veranda, whither she had adroitly summoned him. The young man had attended, as a matter of course. Mrs. Beaumont and Cousin Julia were watching the dancers in the broad clearing of the dining-room. He started sharply. Marguerite felt her heart lean hopefully. "The news is sudden, isn't it?" he faltered. "It is sudden, indeed," she answered, inclining her gracious body to him until her hair almost brushed his face, and speaking softly in her voice of music, "and I am sorry. It has been pleasant here, and all of us are loath to go. But no one else will care, so what does it matter?" "But I care," he cried, with deep embarrassment. "Probably I should have told you before, Miss Carroll. I am in love. She smiled ineffably, and her voice sounded like a caress as she answered. "Tet, to be in love is not a crime, Henry, I, at least, could forgive the criminal. Confess, and be forgiven." "Oh!!" he murmured, rising, his face arrow, "you really do not know, then?" Her breath faltered, and she sat still and silent. "I already confessed, and have been forgiven. I am going to marry your cousin, Miss Henshaw!" DOWAGER EMPRESS OF CHINA How Her Majesty Receives Guests— Eager as a Child at Play. Her august majesty I'ze His An, do-wager empress of China, and her worthy adopted son, his imperial majesty Kwang Hsu, offer a charming contrast to the angry passions of the Spanish royalties. Recently, to mark the renewal of his reign, he visited China and the powers, the worthy empress dowager gave a "pink tea" to the ladies. It is reported that her celestial majesty was urbanity itself; there was something even kittenish and sprightly in her greeting to her guests. This dear old lady, who was so universally known as the "girl of Shanghai" who was reported by the veracious news providers of Shanghai to have boiled two or three ambassadors in oil or filled them up with melted lead, was decked, it seems, in a magnificent gown of blue silk, embroidered with golden butterflies and birds. Her hair was done in a long, flowing hairstyle, huge bows, or butterflies, at the side, and her smile was sweet and winning. Emperor Kwang Hsu stood beside his adoptive mamma, sweet tempered and affable, his olive face face lit up with a playful smile. He allowed the dear old lady to do all the talking, through a charming damsel, the daughter, formerly a German, Berlin, who speaks German and English fluently. The dowager empress wore high heeled shoes—a necessary precaution, if, as is credibly reported, she is even shorter in stature than was Queen Victoria, the two august ladies who, between them, governed half the empire, but than five feet in height. Most amusing was the end of this reception, for the dowager retired to her bedroom, taking two of her lady guests with her, and all three climbed into a huge bed, where it is said, they played cat's cradles. This particularly delighted Kwang Hsu who cared for the game was sitting together, the game was sonages, the world over, are much in the public eye in this so-called twentieth century—Harper's Weekly.

Also an Electric-Lighting Plant- Americans Can Compete. The city of Manila is to have an up-to-date street railway service, operated by electricity, and a modern electric-lighting plant, provision for these improvements having been made in an act passed on Oct. 20, by the Philippine Commission. To give American bidders plenty of time to compete for securing the street railway and the electric-lighting franchises bids will be received by the Municipal Board of Manila until March 4, 1903. The full text of the proposed route of the proposed route of the railway may, after Dec. 1, of this year, be examined at the bureau of insular affairs, war department, Washington. The road will be thirty-five miles long and will cover the important streets in Manila. The life of the franchise is not to exceed fifty years and the rates of fare are not to exceed 7 1-2 cents in gold for first-class passengers and 5 cents gold for second-class passengers. Company will pay the rate city for the franchise at the rate of not less than 1 1-2 per cent on the gross earnings of the road. After twenty-five years the rates of fare are to be readjusted by arbitration, and the city will then have the privilege of purchasing the entire plant, at a price to be fixed by arbitration, based on net earnings. The construction of the road is to be completed after a year, the award is awarded, and the work is to be completed within twenty months thereafter. The electric-light franchise, which also includes heat and power requirements, provides for reasonable rates, to be regulated by the municipal board. The holder of the franchise will be required to pay compensation to the city of Manila of not less than 1-1.2 per cent of the gross earnings. The length of this franchise and the time of the beginning and the completion of the plant are the same as in the railway franchise. Holders will be required to deposit $75,000 with the Guarantee Trust Company of New York or the International Banking Corporation of New York, and a certificate of such deposit or a check for the amount stated, drawn to the order of the municipal board, Manila, and certified by a national bank, must accompany the bid. WAS MISTAKEN FOR HIMSELF How the Prince of Wales Escaped the Importunities of a Woman. Not so very long ago, when the king was prince of Wales, and he was better able than nowadays to gratify his tastes for the methods of "the good Haroun-al-Raschid" — simple tastes, that have endeared him more to his subjects than many realize—he was taking a breakfast. He found himself followed by a well dressed but crazy-looking old woman. He had seen and suffered from her before, and thus could guess shrewdly enough what her object was. So he ignored her seduculously and severely, and continued his stroll until he was obliged to turn homeward. Then the woman stood right before him and curtseyed. The prince—as he then was—raised his hat and tried to pass. But in vain. "I have a grievance, your royal highness," began the stranger, and he wrote in a book by written parchment roll. "Ach madame, thees nee not ze first time I have been taken for ze Pr-ince of Wales," was the reply, in a graff voice, and with a fine guttural German accent. The old lady flashed a look of deepest scorn upon the Teutonic "double" of the king that was to be. Then she put away her precious documents and said loftily, "the he Mist Filters real life, whom editors know so well; "I have the honor to know personally all the members of the royal family, and if my eyeswere not becoming so bad nowadays I would never have made such an astonishing error as to have taken you to the court.

The coming winter promises to be a very cold one, if signs go to prove anything. All over the marsh between the north and south sides can be seen large sand and mud houses built by muskrats, says the La Crosse Republican and Leader. An old trapper and hunter, who is very familiar with the habits of these animals, told a Republican and Leader man today that whenever the muskrat builds such high and large houses, and so early in the year, it means a very cold winter is coming. He also said that it was the case with other animals, and that they are all building stronger nests and houses than for many years past. If this is a good sign, it would be well to look to the wood piles and coal bins, in anticipation of a long, cold winter. Plain English Wanted "There's a physician in my town," said a Cincinnati drummer, "who has a son whom he is instructing in the rudiments of the profession, but just at present the young fellow is thinking of a great many things not down in the books. He has a lot of rapid young men of the slayer's age, and he is master of them all. Indeed, his language is at times so utterly modern as to be almost unintelligible to the old-fashioned people, who learned their language out of Webster's dictionary. The other day a patient was brought into the doctor's office and the son happened to be present. The man is suffering from mania a potu, that the doctor after a brief examination. "What was that?' inquired the son, with an evident effort to catch the meaning. "Mania a potu—dellirium tremens," repeated the doctor. "Oh, commented the youngster, 'you mean the jim jams, the d. t.'s, the delirious trimmings, the gortmagnets, but the racket before the finish, but until I do I wish you would talk plain English for my benefit, dad.'" How Buchanan Rode. "Mainly About People" of London says: A London evening paper made, doubtless by a slip of the sub-editor's blue pencil, the following remarkable statement one evening: "The viceroy of India will make a state entry into Delhi on elephants and in carriages on Saturday, Dec. 29." This recalls to the quaint retort made by Robert Buchanan to the counsel who was examining him in his luckless bankruptcy proceedings. "I be- lored that, of course, that you have been in the habit, Mr. Buchanan of riding about in a horse and carriage. "In a horse, no," said the sorely badgered man of letters. "In a carriage, yes, and I have found it a most economical method of conveyance." OLIO OF EVENTS OLIO OF EVENTS It is officially announced at Antwerp, Belgium, that the new coal fields discovered recently contain more than 500,000,000 tons of coal of good quality. The three Swedish pioneers in Minnesota, Oscar Roos, Carl Fernstrom and August Sandahl, have just had a monument erected to their memory at New Scandia, Minn. It is estimated that considerably over a thousand miles of nets are set night by night in the North Sea by the huge fishing fleet now working out of Yarmouth and Lowestoft in pursuit of herring. Ballarat, one of the oldest and most famous of Australian gold fields, has still some auriferous treasures in reserve. The Australian mall brings new of the finding of a nutgut weighing 120 tonnes by the York Hilling mine Ballarat East. This mine is the property of a syndicate of English and Chinese shareholders, hence its name. The locality has always been celebrated for its nuggets. J. B. Billard, of Topeka, Kas., has brought suit against the board of education to compel the removal of Bible reading from the public schools. Billard's son was expelled from school because, it is said, he refused to give proper attention during the opening exercise, when the Bible was being read. Leading attorneys are on both sides of the case and it is causing much interest in legal circles. There is a movement on foot to erect a monument on the outer point of Cape Cod to commemorate the adoption of the Pilgrim compact of government. The pilgrim compact was probably the earliest charter of a Democratic government, adopted by the people, known to the world. A rugged obelisk, 200 feet in height, placed upon an eminence on the outermost point of Cape Cod, where all passing and repassing at sea may see it, will be, it is thought, a fitting memorial of such a landmark of history. Omaha is developing rapidly into a cold-storage center. The Armour plant in that city has capacity for 80,000 tons, and there are a number of other plants almost as large. Last year the cold-storage houses of Omaha handled 200,000 cases of eggs, and this year the amount will be increased by 20 per cent. The Omaha packers are preparing to add the storage of potatoes, cabbages, onions, beets and fruits, such as can be handled in cold storage, with a view, it is said, to make Omaha a center for the storage of fruits for this class of products also. If the venture this season proves successful, additional and excessive cold-storage warehouses are to be erected next year, probably at South Omaha. The originator of half-penny journalism in Paris, M. Marnionn, who has just retired owing to old age, has had a most picturesque career. In his young days, the London Tatler points out, he was a printer with no money but brilliant ideas. For a long time he was unable to get the capital to perfect some of his most ingenious improvements in printing machines, and it was with the intention of proving what a novel printing press of his could do to make a newspaper proprietor that he started the Petit Journal, the first son paper ever published in Paris. The Petit Journal, however, prospered beyond all expectations, and its circulation soon exceeded 1,000,000 copies a day. George Daugherty, who died recently at his home in New Florence, Pa., was an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad company when Andrew Carnegie was superintendent of the Pittsburg division. Upon the day of his funeral a letter from Mr. Carnegie was received inclosing a check of $20 and the announcement that on the 1st of each month thereafter, so long as he lived, he would receive a similar amount. After the funeral the check was returned to him with the news of Mr. Daugherty's death. In a few days after there came another letter from Mr. Carnegie inclosing checks for $10 each, made out in favor of the dead man's daughters, with the statement that so long as they remained single each one would receive $10 on the 1st of each month. Bupest has, if not a jail de luxe, at least one with a single series of apartments lavishly comfortable. They are exclusively reserved for gentlemen duellists. Some time since, according to the Pesther Lloyd, they were the inquisitioner, Bela Azaea who had the richly furnished him succeeded M. Leo Lancey, a deputy, and director of the Hungarian commercial bank. After dividing the "cell" into three sections—a bedroom, study and reception room—and holding social levees with a warden disguised in "buttons" to introduce the guests, he had thoughts of installing the telephone, but relinquished them on realization. He had to have expired before the installation could be effected. In this duellists' limbo the charges are only light and the enjoyments many. In connection with the unveiling at Lisbon of a statue of Alfonso de Albuquerque, the Portuguese papers have been devoting long articles to the memory of the famous Indian governor, who, on Feb. 17, 1510, in command of a fleet of 20 ships of the line, with 1,200 fighting men, captured the city of Goa, and so laid the foundations of Portuguese rule in India. The monument, apart from the statue, is (says the London Standard correspondent) a magnificent structure in white marble, designed by the architect, perforation of King Emmanuel the Fortunate, and is erected on a spot opposite the Royal Palace and facing the Tagus. The members of the royal family, the ministers of state, the civic authorities and many thousands of spectators were present at the ceremony. The Spokane (Wash.) Chronicle says Police Commisioned H. L. Lilienthal is now preparing to organize a Northwest Detective association, with headquarters in Spokane, for the purpose of better tracking criminals, of gaining more advanced ideas on the best way to handle this class of society, and in general for the purpose of improving the efficiency of the detective force of the six large cities of the Northwest, Spokane, Helena, Butte, Tacoma and Seattle, in connection with the insecurity of the six cities he plans to bring into the association. The plan as outlined is to organize the Northwest Detective association, and inasmuch as the plan was promoted by the officials of this city, to make this the headquarters for the present at least. After the organization of the association a regular system of interchanging detectives will be started. For example, for 30 days a Butte detective would be sent to Spokane, while a Spokane detective would go either to Butte or some other town in the circuit. Each of the detectives would represent in some other city in the circuit, while every city in the circuit would have a detective from one of the other cities at work. The advantages of such a system of constant interchanging of detectives can be readily seen. General Young, the next lieutenant general, also rogs from the ranks. PEARL FISHERIES DIMINISH. River Clams in the Mississippi May Soon Become Extinct. (Memphis, Tenn., letter.) Pearl-bearing clams are disappearing from the sandbars of Arkansas and the Mississippi river at a rate that threatens to make the species extinct in less than two years. The beginning of the end has common names and unless new fields are discovered soon the pearl-fishing industry of the United States will be a thing of the past. The reasons for this are manifold. Of late years the demands on the clam have been more than it could stand. In addition to its "prize-package" manner of yielding up pearls, the shell of the bivalve itself is of value. During the past year 25 factories for the conversion of clam shells into pearl buttons have been erected at Muscatine, Ia. This now makes 55 in this one town alone, in which the clam shell is made into articles of commercial value. Early in the year shiploads of clam shells began to be exported, and this has been the means of disposing of whatever surplus yield there might be, and has also raised the price so that now pearl fishers are no longer obliged to grapple all day for nothing in the hope of bringing up a prize bivalve. These shells bring from $12 to $15 a ton, and can readily be sold to bargains in which they are taken from pearl-fishling regions to the factories. Two years ago the Black river in Arkansas was the greatest pearl-yielding river in the United States, but its 30 miles of sandbars were worked by such an industrious gang of fortune hunters that nearly every clam was removed from its bottom in less than nine months. Flushed with their success, these hunters then swarmed out on the Mississippi. In this river the sea scarves are not so vain, and not many have done so anyway, getting rich until a very valuable pearl field was found in the White river, in Arkansas. Thither hurried the pearl fishers. All the past season they have been grappling for clams there, until now, as the season closes, few clams are lett on the sandbars. A few months or six weeks more on this river will clean it out entirely, and perhaps forever, of pearl-bearing bivalves. The next most promising field is the Cumberland river in Kentucky. Here the pearls are very valuable, but very scarce, and it is doubtful if it will be worked to any great extent. When domestic is dragged clean, whatever come from the Mississippi are left must be so poor and so scarce that fishing for them can hardly be called an industry. The Arkansas pearls have been of a particularly fine quality, some of them far excelling the Oriental pearl, and pearl dealers in the United States, until they saw the beginning of the end, have been happy. Now, however, in view of the fact that pearls are rapidly becoming more popular, and promise in the future to be the rival of the diamond, jewelers will be much effected when the domestic pearl has become a rare article. DR. GATLING'S NEW AUTO PLOW DR. GATLING'S NEW AUTO PLOW. Diverse as the plow and the automobile would seem at first glance, Dr. Gatling, the famous inventor of the gun that bears his name, has hitched the two together and made farming a "thing of beauty and a joy forever." The hardest farm labor is thus, says the Atlanta Journal, reduced to a pastry. One more occupation for the horse is destroying and one man with an automobile plow do the work that formerly required 15 pairs of hands and 30 horses. The Gatling motor plow is driven by a gasoline engine of sufficient power to propel it at any desired depth down to 12 inches. The truck is built like the trucks used with traction engines, except that the steam boiler is replaced by a strong platform on which is placed the gasoline engine, which is connected to the traction gearing by a set of rollers. The traction gear is tached a set of disk plows, which may be geared to run at any depth or any angle needed to give the best results when plowing. With this machine it is estimated that one man can plow from 30 to 35 acres in one day. To plow this number of acres in one day with the ordinary plow would require 15 men and 30 horses, so when it comes to cultivating one of our large Western farms it is easy to estimate the large drove of horses and the great number of horses that do the plowing and the immense cost, to the owner to house and feed them. All that is required to operate the Gatling plow is for the farmer to sit upon the cushioned seat of the truck and work the controller, which is not unlike those attached to automobiles; or, if he happens to be indisposed, his wife can take his place. It is generally estimated that the cost of plowing under ordinary conditions is $1.50 per acre. Then the further preparation of the ground by harvesting and the ground is here. With the Gatling machine the ground becomes thoroughly pulverized and the rolling is not required. A harrow attached to the machine will do the smoothing, and a seed drill attached behind this will do the seeding, so that the plowing, harrowing, and seeding may all be done with one passage of the machine and at just about one-fourth the cost of the present method, thereby benefiting the farmer. The United States compete in the markets of the world with a profit to himself.—New York Times. According to the New York Press, one of the big life insurance companies, whose headquarters are in that city, has a safe, the combination of which is jointly controlled by ten men, all high officials of the company. Without the aid of the entire ten the safe could not be opened. There are three doors, the outermost of which is opened by five men; the second by three, and the innermost by two. General Dewet, the Boer leader, contends that the name De Witt or Dewitt, so common in this country, originally was the same as his. Therefore, he claims to have many distant kinsmen in the United States. Arrangements are being made for an invasion of Jerusalem in 1904 by Sunday school pupils of all nations, that city having been chosen as the meeting place of the World's Sunday School convention. The meetings are to be held in a large tent, as no hall of sufficient size can be secured. Should the king of Portugal visit a hotel in the ordinary way, accompanied by his two sons and younger brother, his secretary, he would write a registering the party. His majesty has 12 names, his elder son has 17, the latter's brother has 13 and the king's brother 22. Renown and riches in a day; Labor a awakens, uncomplaining.

(Copyright, 1901, by Authors' Syndicate). F course, if she prefers to eat sugar on her potatoes and salt on her sweet potatoes, I suppose there is, as you say, no harm in it; but still—" The subject under discussion was a young woman who had recently come to Greenboro, and though she seemed inclined to trouble herself not at all about Greenboro, Greenboro was in a fever of anxiety about her, her doings, sayings, eatings, as reported by the maid who witnessed the same. Dr. Albain had heard wild and woolly accounts of Helen Meybin before, but he was willing to admit that this evening Maston St. Joseph had insisted its right to the town of terror; and, also, that he began to feel some moving of curiosity toward this new horror that had come upon the town of his adoption. "Grenboren is always having a fit of the horrors about something," he had reflected, carelessly, when his attention was first directed toward this latest one, and he had continued to treat the subject with that mixture of indifference and disdain that marked his menace and made everything outside of the medical profession. After Mrs. Marston's growing account, however, this position became untenable and most of his half hour drive home was consumed in a resolute resumption of facts. He felt a swing of sympathy toward the woman who, like himself, seemed alone in the world, and who ate salt on her sweet potatoes. This taste, he argued, showed a sound understanding, and then, too, he did it himself, which was perhaps the real ground of his approval. So interested had he become in the subject that when he passed Hillside cattage he deliberately drew his horse to a walk and stared frankly into the open window. A brown head bent over a desk was the only reward gained by this extraordinary concession to curtail the only glimpse he had ever had of the latest agony, Dr. Albain felt repaid. He should know her the next time he saw her, he reflected. But the back of a woman's head is really a questionable sponsor for the features of her face, and it so happened that when the doctor next saw Helen Meybin he did not know her. Looking up from the dust of the roadside in a blind rage over the accident, he met a pair of gray eyes that were making a strenuous effort to look合 in spite of their dancing amusement. "Are you hurt?" she questioned. "Hurt," snarled the doctor, as he got on his feet and brushed the dust from his coatleaves. "Hurt, of course not. Who ever heard of a man being hurt by having his horse knocked from under him?" "I beg your pardon," she said, her tones unstead with laughter; "I forgot that the road turned to sharply here. What horse does not seem to be much hurt." In fact, her bike had not touched his horse. It was his steed's backward lunge that had unsteared the doctor and the knowledge of this fact did not soothe his temper. He turned away with sundry only partially smothered words that were neither complimentary to the horse nor respectful to the laurel. He collapsed upon the roadside and gave vent to her stronely repressed amusement in peal after peal of clear, sweet laughter. And the doctor heard. But the worst was yet to come, for, as Dr. Albain neared Hillside cottage, a bike bell rang a prolonged warning behind him and a moment later the author of his recent misfortune gilded behind him, and the doctor's eyes widened as he watched her run the wheel into its rack and enter the house with an air of ownership. "So," he muttered, "and I had meant to be her friend." He shrugged his shoulders. "What ground there ever was for friendship is all preempted now. Stalked out by disgust." He might have added, "and by ridicule" the doctor was no more fond than other men of telling himself wholesome truths. Like most strong men, too, he fancied himself above resentment and did not trouble to explain why he never took the road that ran by Hillside cottage, although the not doing so caused him a good many extra hours in the room. Either did he attempt to explain why, or did he maid from the cottage came in for medical aid, he sent his young assistant and made no inquiries. Mrs. Marston's new horse had run away with her, and Helen having sprung at the brute's bite, had been dashed against a show window and battered up generally before she succeeded in stopping him. The young assistant lost his nerve when he saw the condition of the arm that had been bungled through the shop window, and bungled the job to such an extent that three days later, doctor, white lipped with remorse, was speeding toward Hillside cage haunted by such grewsome words as bloodpoison and amputation. He thought of her as he had last seen her, flushed with the strength of her perfect womanhood, and broken prayers mingled with the impatient exhortations he urged upon his speeding horse. Helen was reading when he entered, but there were marks upon her face that told her the calm was costing. The cords of the doctor's throat tightened suddenly and the words of useless regret. Silently he bent over the arm on the pillow and began to undo the wrapping. "It will have to come off, I think," Helen remarked as he bared the fiercely inflamed wounds. "No," he said, quietly, "I think not." The job had been horribly bungled, but this was no time to waste one's energies upon empty regrets. Remorse lashed him fiercely, but the doctor scarcely heeded her blows. Helen felt the soul of the healer in his assured, tender touch. She resumed her book though the pain kept her colorless. "You are a brave woman," Albain said, gratefully, when the dressing was done; "the bravest I ever knew." For an instant the gray eyes met him and he turned away surprised and stung by her pity. He almost ran over Mrs. Maston to whom the maid had just refused admittance. "Why should she pity him? Why?" During the next two weeks the doctor made good the slight he had put upon the road that ran past Hillside cottage. Morning, noon and night he traveled it. Though he could do nothing after the arm was dressed until, suddenly, time came to dress it again, until he drove him back to the cottage. He has his patient did not get on well with her. Under her perfect courtesy he reached the touch of still dislain. Already he ceased to worry. He why. He justly or justly she held him guilt of having induced his petty temptations. the cost of his professional responsibilities. For a time he did not trust him. If he saved the arm, he made him. If he saved the arm, he made the criminal carelessness his might go hang. Gradually, however as his anxiety grew less fierce, his inborn pendent attitude weakened, and on a day that her case was dismissed it settled him utterly. "Before we say goodbye, I should like to make an explanation," he recounted grimly. "What about?" she questioned calmly. "About some action of my own." "Don't do it," she advised. "Not on earth belittles a man like plaining his actions." The philosopher are right: "If a man in himself is a sufficient guarantee for his act, words will never justify them." "Which is a polite way of saying that you would rather condemn me you heard," Albain reflected, gloomily, scolons that she was hurting worms that he had imagined possible. "No, you you and the philosophe are right," he replied. But the look in his eyes betrayed what his words strove to hide. Now the anties a sane man with when he upsets an ink bottle are equaled by the undreamed-of impulse that will master a sensible woman when she finds that she has hurt a man she uses for her. So it happened that as their eyes flashed, Helen, the brave cool woman, started impulses to he feet. "Walt," she exclaimed, incoherently, "I didn't mean—" then impulse deserved her? She would have given all her possessed to be back in her office chair and her dignity. And there she was, with his sleeve and a pair of eyes fastened upon hers that were rapidly changing from inquiry to eagerness. "I haven't any sense," she exclaimed, clenching the offended hand with vindictiveness that evinced her willingness to cut it off and cast it from her. It was the doctor's turn to laugh, the humor of the situation did not need to appeal to him. Instead he took the small fist and unclenched the fingergins. "cee," he said, slowly. "I told you that all the ground upon which we might have formed a friendship was preempted. I was angry at the time and did not know how truly I spoke to see now that even then had staked out his claim. I have treated you pretty rough. Being laughed at by the woman he loves will make a man more than anything on earth. I have realized how mad he was until I saw you pose you will ever be able to yourself to recognize this claim at Cunid's?" Helen's hand moved uneasily in the "it seems to be pretty well established," she grumbled. "Even my common sense is preempted." And this time the doctor had his knuckles. A few tender laughs. BALLOON TO CROSS THE SAHARA Novel Devices to be Used by French War Department. The Engineer describes a type of balloon that has been ordered by the French war department for the purpose of an attempt to cross the Sahara. The balloon is to be unmounted, its sole live occupants being six pigeons, which are to be conveyed in the lower compartment of a minute car. The ballast will be water, carried in a tank suspended by wire ropes below the car. This tank will be divided into compartments, the lowest receiving a brass conical valve exactly closing an orifice by means of which the water is allowed to flow out. The valve is composed entirely of bronze. To it is attached a spring connected with the top of the cradle of the valve, the lower end being hooked on to a brass pipe that is bored vertically through the center of the valve. The lower end of the cylinder will be flattened, and to it will be attached a brass wire 12 meters in length, bearing a steel ball weighing 20 kilos, the effect of which will be to keep the valve closed and prevent the escape of water. The valve is full as a little over 13 kilos, and when the weight of the valve, its attachments, the brass wires, etc., are added, the spring will be supporting a weight of slightly over 12 kilos. As its power of resistance, however, equals 20 kilos, it follows that when the weight of the steel ball moves, as, for instance, the valve will open and the water be permitted to flow, and the balloon will again ascend. On the other hand, even after the loss of a portion of the water pressuring on the valve, it would still remain closed as long as the steel ball is suspended from it. The upper division of the car is to be provided with a photographic camera acting somewhat after the manufacture of a cinematograph, and capillary taking photographs at the rate of one each quarter of an hour. It will be directed toward the guide plate at an angle of 30 degrees between the horizon. The car is mounted by a bygrometer, registering barometer and thermometer, and also maximum and minimum thermometers. All these instruments, including the camera, are to be capable of working for five days after the departure of a balloon. The lower division of the car will be furnished with a supply of water and grain for the pigeons, and three sides other than the one in which the door is placed mirrors will be fixed with the glass outward. The instruments are made for the escape of the pigeons when the balloon comes to the ground. There is an internal air balloon with an air capacity of 568 cubic meters while the volume of the balloon will be about 1,000 cubic meters. A balloon of 50 cubic meters will accompany the larger one, and also 36 Jupiter paper pilot balloons of 300 or 400 cubic capacity, ballasted by it to enable bottle filled with water to enclose them to rise easily, with two larger balloons will be named and bear inscriptions in French, English and Arabic, offering rewards for their save capability to a French post. The balloon is to be filled with varnished cannon will be inflated with illuminated gas. It will carry a sail. Its total weight is not to exceed 170 kilos, inclusive of its entire equipment. Horvey's Game. Harvey's Harvey said, "I will play hide-and-seek." So he ran and hid behind the chair. "Find me!" he cried, "Mama." mama, "No dear," said Mamma, "it is for breakfast now. Come, Harma, "I can't come till you find me mama," said Harvey, "Cause I'm hiding, and I don't know where I am. So mamma found him and kissed him.—Unique Monthly."

ABOUT CAVE DWELLERS. ‘There Is Abundant Evidence of a Race ‘Antedating Indian Occupation. In the Siera Ancha Mountains of Gila county, in the central part of Arizona, 8 region of remarkable scenic beauty, fare abundant evidences of the occupa: tion of races that far antedated any of the tribes now known in the South- ‘west. Far up on the sides of fully a score of canyons are the ruins of ver- Itable cities, built in limestone clefts ‘and shallow caves, where defense could readily be made against the marauder. a the pure, dry air of the region much pt the timber flooring of the several Htoried cement built homes of these ancient peoples is still preserved, though of wood that now is practically extinct in the Southwest—a species of typress, not one tree of which can be found today in the region for 100 miles around, Far above the cliff dwellings, on the very ridges of the pine covered moun- tains, have been discovered a number of caves, probably of natural origin, yet enlarged and hollowed by the hands of men of a race now extinct. One of these caves, of L shape, appears to lave been a sacrificial temple, for the walls are scorched, and in some places the rock is almost fused by the flere flames kindled long ago. Beneath the sand covered floor were found a large number of small runs filled with car- bonized bones of human beings, who possibly, had been offered in sacrifice to some Moloch-like demon deity. ‘The latest discovery was made only 2 few weeks ago by William McFadden, a ‘well known cattle man. Behind a large ‘clump of bushes he found the entrance to @ cave of immense size, which had been subdivided by the ancient people ‘into elghteen large rooms. At the ex treme end of the airshaft of artificial construction rose to a connection with ‘some natural crevices far above. ‘The Moors are of clay, hard packed and smooth. ‘In some of the rooms was found a human skull, possibly carried thither by some wild beast in late Gunes alow Yok Dalia, HIS REASON WAS A GOOD OND. Why King Oscar of Sweden Could Not Approve of Democracy. King Oscar of Sweden has a habit ot straying incognito among his subjects jand greatly enjoys hearing thelr criti- jelsms of his conduct. When at Wies- baden recently several guests at the hotel were discussing various forms cf government. An American defended enthusiastically his faith in the demo- eracy represented by his country. A tall, gray-bearded man was a membel of the party and occasionally smiled al the American's remarks. Seeing thie, the American turned on him and said: “My arguments do not seem to con- ‘vince you, sir. I suppose you are a monarchist. Perhaps you will be goud enough to favor us with your reasous for preferring that form of govern- ment.” “Oh, I have most excellent reasons.” was the reply. ‘The first and foremost is that I am the king of Sweden.” The sequel of the answer of the king 1s not chronicled, unfortunately.

Whittier, gentlest and most beloved of American poets, is another of the rare personages to be met in these pages. On one occasion Whittier was Invited over to dine at Dr, Cuylera with the “Chi Alpha,” a clerical asso- ciation, the brethren gladly putting Aside their regular programme to listen to “the fresh”, racy and humorous talk Of the great poet.” After this meeting Dr. Cuyler and Whittier had a moon- light walk together, in the course of which the former told the post that hot long before, when he quoted a verse of Bryant's to Horace Greeley, the edi- tor had replied: “Bryant is all very well, but by far the greatest poet this country has produced is John Green- leat Whittier.” ‘This compliment from “friend Horace” seemed to please Whittier greatly. Of Whittier himseif We have @ number of diverting stories, Perhaps the best of these is that relat: lng (o Greeley's comment upon himself for a blunder he had made in an editor- lal by writing the word “Cattaraugus” when it should have been “Chautau- qua.” When the editorial appeared Greeley went up into the composing room ina great rage and called out, “Who put that Cattarugus?” The printers all gathered around him, amused at his anger, until one of them, pulling down from the hook the orig- inal editorial, showed him the word “Cattaraugus” just as he had written {t, When Greeley saw the situation he assumed an air of the greatest meek- hess and drawled out: “Will some one please kick me down those stairs?” — Leslie's Weekly. HORSES CURED HIM. George Ketcham, the owner of the famous horse Cresceus, was once ‘thought to be the incurable victim of « thronic disease. A great many doctors had a whack at him and finally gave dim up. Some sensible physician final- ly advised him to quit taking medicine and spend as much time as possible in the open air. He took his advice and left the pills off and took up trotting horses. ‘The resut is that he is today 1 well man and a millionaire, and alto- tether one ef the busiest men in the world, The moral of sub incidents seems to be that when one is a little sick he had better cut out the doctors and trust to ature—Medical Tall. $100 REWARD, §100. ‘The readers of this paped will be pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, an that is Catarrh.

HILDEBRANDT’S DISCOVERY. Lake Sarah, Minn., Nov. 24th—Mrs, Hildebrandt of this place claims to have discovered a complete cure for Rheumatism and numerous people can testify that as Mrs, Hildebrandt had the terrible affliction and is now a well woman, she appears to have good grounds for her claim. Mrs. HiRle- brandt speaks of her cure as follows: “I had the Rheumatism in my arms so bad that I could not sleep at night. I was induced to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and before I had taken two voxes Iwas much better. When I had taken four boxes I was completely cured.” It is only fuir to state that othors have made the seme discovery as Mrs, Hildebrandt and that for Rheumatism ‘and other diseases arising from the Kidneys, Dodd’s Kidney Pills are re- ‘cognized as the one sure and permanent cure. | ‘THE TONS OF WHAKFISH.
