Mr. Cleveland's address was in part as follows: MR. CLEVELAND'S ADDRESS. "We are called together in furtherance of purposes which are not only of the utmost beneficiency, but which, for every reason, are deserving of serious and prompt consideration." he said. "It has often occurred to me that ever since we have become a nation the American people have almost constantly been confronted with large problems, more or less perplexing, and directly affecting the political, industrial and social phases of our national welfare. We seem to have a contented nation that whatever dangers pres upon us and whatever obstacles are to be submounted we are "able because we seem to be able," and that because we have thus far escaped threatening perils a happy go-buck reliance on continued good fortune will avail us to the end of the chapter.

It is foolish for us to blinc our eyes to the fact that more should be done to improve the conditions of our negro population and it should be entirely plain to all of us that the sooner this is undertaken the sooner will a serious duty be discharged and the more securely will we guard ourselves against future trouble and danger. Our colord people have been supplied with a measure of public school privilages, even though in this they have been at a disadvantage compared with their white neighbor. "We will not fail to estimate at its true value what has thus been accomplished; nor will we fail to appreciates the importance of continued and increasing effort in extending to this class of our citizens opportunities for ordinary school education. MUST BE MORE THAN MENIAL. "No one who has given the subect deliberate thought can doubt that, if we are to be just and fair toward our colored fellow citizens, and if they are to be more completely made self respecting, useful and safe members of our body politic they must be taught to do something more than to how wood and draw water, the way must be opened for them to engage in something better than menial service, and their interests must be aroused to rewards of intelligent occupation and careful thrift. "I believe that the exigency can only be adequately met through the instrumentality of well equipped manual training and industrial schools, conducted either independently or in connection with orcinary educational institutions. I am convinced that good citizenship, an orderly contented life, and a proper conception of civic virtue and obligation is almost certain to grow out of fair chance to earn an honest hopeful livelihood, and a satisfied sense of secure protection and considerate treatment."

Negroes die three to one. Washington, Dec. 9. -William B. Moore who has charge of the statistics of the health department, has gathered some interesting figures relative to the comparative death rates between white and Negro children. For the first fiscal year with an estimated population of 3.319 white children under one year old, there were 594 deaths, giving a death rate of 165.1 per 1.000. With a corresponding Negro population of 1.552 the deaths were 690 and the death rate 444.6. The death rate for Negro children under 5 years of age was 123.2 and of white children 44.7. Carrying forward the statistics by decade. Mr. Moore show that Negro race die faster than the white until the of 90 years is reached, when the balance turns in favor of the Negro people. An important fact shown in Mr. Moore's statistics is that mortality among children under 5 years of age is somewhat less decade by decade.

The great legal battle against the validity of the new Constitution of Virginia is on. The case was called in the United States District Court, Judge Edmund Waddill presiding. The plantiffs were represented by Capt, John S. Wise of New York City, and James H. ayes. Esq., of this city. The plantiffs are suing for an injunction to retrain the state board of canvassers from issuing certificates of election to the ten congressman from Virginia, recently elected under the instrument is invalid The state board was represented by attorney General Anderson and F.W.

By general consent the court allowed the defense until Friday next, the 28th inst., to prepare their case. It is expected that Chief Justice Fuller will sit with Judge Wad at the hearing. A new turn has since developed in the fight, and which will in a great measure rob the consent of its political aspect from a partisan standpoint. Ex Senator John G. Carlisle of Kentucky, who was Cleveland's Secretary of State, has been retained as associat counsel with Capt. Wise and Lawyer Haves Mr. Carlisle is one of the formost democrats of the country, and is regarded as one of the ablest constitutional lawyer.

Should be a very brilliant affair at Leavenworth during the holidays, but if it accomplishes no more tangible results than it has heretofore. It may still be likened unto a much rumor bubbie.

A TARDY REVARD WE are proud to know that after long years of faithful service in the republican party Bro. T. Thomas Fortune of the New York Age has been rewarded by "Matchless Teddy," many less deserving men has eaten pie at the Federal counter, Bro. Fortune should have had. His appointment as special agent of Uncle Sam in the new possessions at a salary of $5,000 a year is not so bad. Its rather a nice thing to learn the song "Ch wait and murmur not," This appointment is but the tardy recognition of one of the faithful and we are proud that we can say "Better late than never" we congratulate Bro. Fortune the sage Negro Journalist may he nequit the duties with lasting credit, as we believe he will. BETTER BUY A HOME. The signs of the times never made it more apparent that the negro must buy land, then now. It is only a question of a short time till Negroes in the two Kansas Cities, must drift out of sight for want of some place to stay in sight. Take our advice every negro that can buy a home start right now. Heed these words. Just 42 years ago, in Tremont Temple, Boston, Dec. 1889, speaking of the death of John Brown among other things, William Lloyd Garrison said: "We shall give the flushing blow to the slave system; and then God will make it possible for us to form a true, vital, endurug, all embracing Union, from the Atlantic to the Pacific—one God to be w rshipped, one Savior to be revered, one policy to be carried out, freed in everywhere to all the people, without regard to complexion oa race—and the blessing of God resting upon us all. I want to see that glorious day! Now the South is full of tribulation and terror and despair, going down to irretrivable bankruptcy and fearing each bush and officer. Wish to God it might pass away like a hideous dream! And how easily it might be!" And yet, almost forty years have passed since the supposed end of the great rebellion, and one is shocked and pained in reading in this day and time, an item in the daily papers, as below: THRUE NEGROES SOLD INTO SLAVERY INTO BENTUCKY. "Lancaster, Ky., Nov. 29—Pictures of slavery days were brought vividly before the minds of the citizens Friday. "Charles Anderson, Emma Reed and Bell Griffin, Negroes, had been convicted of vagrancy, and were so sold under an order of the Court to the highest bidder. The man was sold for three months and brought $7. Bell Griffin was sold for twelve months. The other woman was sold for three years. They brought $5 each. Bold disfranchisement, lynching burning, and downright slavery the ornament of a Christian common wealth! Tolerat and condoned by people boasting of blood superiority and what not! Is the south civilized? Where is the Christian, yes humane conscience of the white South? Certainly the recent stand of President Roosevelt is but the first symptom of the rising of a clouds in the East, a cloud of righotua indignation of the true and noble heart of the American people who hate oppression and all unrighteousness. We are on the eve of another radical movement, like the abolitionists of old, testing the very heart of his nation, whether it will permit the old Bourbon oligarchy of the dark ages of American history to weaken and destroy our civilization and bring a glorious people to ruin and disaster or whether it will crush to death by such a monster. With a hert yearning for the co version of our enemies we dare exclaim in the language of Garrison. "On that the South may be wise before it is too late, and give heed to the words of the Lord! But whether she will hear or forbear let us reuse our pledges to the cause of bleeding humanity, and spare no effort to make this truly the land of free and the refuge of the oppressed! 'Onward. then, ye fearles band, Heart to heart, and hans to hand; Yours shall be the Christian Or the martyr's grave." Mrs. Jno.

London—The last few months thare has been in the United Kingdom many American buyers of thorough- bred cattle, whose purchases of high class breeding stock aggregate many thousands of dollars. Many of the animals bought are intended for ex: hibition at the St. Louis exposition. ‘The prices paid range from $2,100 to more than $6,500 a head. Hundreds of high priced bulls and cows have been shipped in the summer and fall. Among the buyers now here is C: L.

Goodwin, of Chicago, has purchased Angus breed ers and the Armours’ agent is send: Ing 100 Herefords to the United States.

Anthracite Investigation Shows Up Bad for the Companies. Scranton, Pa.~-The miners, having finished their attack on the Coxe mines in the Hazelton region, have turned the attention of the coal strike commission to the collieries of G. PB. Markle & Company, in the same lo- cality. The witnesses for the mine workers scored what appeared to be telling points with regard to wages and other conditions prevailing in the mines of the Independent company. ‘The attorney for the company was not prepared to cross-examine the ‘witvesses on all things they testified to, and the commission has granted the company the privilege of recalling the witnesses to the stand for the purpose of cross-questioning them ‘on some of the statements made. ‘The principal witness called against the Markles was James Gallaher, who worked in the Markle mines for thirty years, He claimed that the ‘wages were so low that he was al- ways in debt to the company and that in seventeen years he only once re- ceived money in wages, and that was $50. He further testified that he had io deal at the company store, the only place where the miners could get credit, and the prices were from 10 to 20 per cent higher than in other places. He said he had made large wages and wiped out his debt, but the company would then give him such bad Work that he would imme- diately go into debt again. He was evicted from his house and refused work, but he did not know why em- ployment was not given him. ‘The witness, who is about 60 years of age and a native of freland, | kept the court constantly in good hnthor by his wit and sharp answers to thrusts by lawyers, He said @ man is never called hurt in the mines until he is half killed. He was half Killed twice, he said, which brought out the re: mark from Chairman Gray that if he was half killed, then he was now dead. This catised much merriment, but it was turned into a roar of laughter when the witness replied that the first half was healed before the other half was fnjured. ‘A 12-year-old breaker boy was call- ed to the stand and gave testimony to show that he Was working at the Mar- ‘Ke mines to pay off the debt incurred by his father, who was killed in the mines eighteen months ago. He re- ceived no pay, but was given due bills showing how much his mother owed the company. The due bills also showed the debt his mother was in- curring, such as house rent, etc., was growing faster than he could reduce it, as he was only getting 4 cents an hour. ‘The conditions prevailing at the Lehiigh Valley Company mines will be taken up next. The miners have a large number of witnesses whom they desire to call and there is at this time no indication when the hearin will be concluded. Some of the oper- ators desire to place witnesses on the stand in their defense, ‘Unless some agreement is reached on many of the points at issue, it is ikely the hearing will run into next month. While settlement talk is still heard here, nothing of an author- tative nature has come to the surface. ‘There is still a belief prevalent. that an agreement on some points will be arrived at before the commission is ready to make its award. TO RETIRE GENERAL SMITH. Congress to Be Asked to Reinstate the Officer. Washington.—Senator Hanna has interested himself in the case of General Jacob Smith, known as “Hell Roaring Jake,” summarily re- tired on account of his “kill and burn” order in the Philippines. In all prob- ability the senator will introduce at this session a bill restoring him to the army. All of the brigadier gen- eralships have been filled and Mr. Hanna’s plan is to introduce a bill in the senate ereating a new one for the sake of restoring General Smith. Be- fore this is done Senator Hanna will consult with the President to find out if, in view of all the circumstances, Mir, Roosevelt desires to keep Mr. ‘Smith out of the army. So he wants it understood that he does not intend to precipitate any contest with the president and will only move in Gen- eral Smith's behalf because he be- lieves an injustice has been done and because a large number of army offi- cers support him in this view. CONDITION IN PHILIPPINES. Secretary of Taft Commission Ex: plains Them in Washington. Washington. — Arthur Ferguson, secretary of the Philippine commis- sion, was a caller at the state and war departments Saturday to talk with the officials regarding conditions in the Philippines as they existed when he left Manila, According to Mr. Ferguson, Governor Taft is be- loved by the Filipinos, who have come to look upon him as their best friend, and, for his part, he has become s0 absorbed in his ‘work of bringing these people into line with American ideas that he is willing to spend the remainder of his days in the islands. ‘Mr. Ferguson adds that the governor has completely recovered his health.

STANDS FOR MONROE DOCTRINE, Should Germany and Britain Go Too Far Washington Won't Be Found Asleep—War Game Within ‘Sight of Foreign Ships. Washington—Two European fleets, one German and the other British, are mobilizing in the Caribbean sea. ‘The ‘object is to force the South American Fepublic, to pay its indebtedness to these two nations or suffer the seizure of its custom ports. In Washington there are a number of offfficials. who intimate that it is the intention of these two countries to see how far the Monroe doctrine can be stretched. One thing is certain. When the Unt- ted tates government believes the stretching has gone far enough there ‘will be an immediate slacking up on the tension. i. While both of these foreign fleets are gathering, Admiral Dewey, in charge of one of the greatest Amer- fean fleets, is holding winter maneuy- ers conveniently near to the scene of hostilities, Admiral Dewey, on the Mayflower, reached Culebra’ Saturday und took charge of the fleet. There, Just noril of Venezuela, within sound of heayy firing, Dewey and his war- ships will practice marksmanship. Dewey may not haye been sent to Southern waters expressly for the purpose of watching the European floots, but he is there. The European fleots consist of some ten man-of-war, only one of which is a first-class cruiser, Admiral Dewey's fleet con- sists of the first-class battleships iearsarge, Alabama, Indiana, and Massachusetts, the second-class bat- tleship Texas, the cruisers Olympia, Cincinnati, Detroit, Newark, Mont: gomery, and the "gunboat Machias. ‘There are also within call in the Car- r.,bean the small cruiser Panther and the Gunboats Marietta and Scorpion. Here is a fleet of fourteen vessels, five of them armor-clad battleships carrying more men and guns than are in the combined British and Ger- man fleets. In fighting power, in re- sisting power, the American fleet is ‘equal to several squadrons like that sent against Venezuela. ‘The show of intimidating foreign force is because the predecessors of President Castro failed to pay about 2 million dollars of interest guaran- teed to German citizens who ad- vanced money to build a railway from Caracas to Valencia, That is the main potnt, but Groot Britain has chosen to make joint cause with Ger- many because it avors that some of its ¢ltizens were 1 altreated during the recent revoluticn, and because President Castro's little ships dared to notify the British cruiser Retribu- tion that there existed a blockade of the Orinoco river. The United States did not believe that the blockade was effective, but it refrained as a friend- ly act from joining the British and German ministers at Caracas about month ago when they declared that there was no blockade. SO BEWARE OF SILVER DOLLARS. One Man's Extravagant Statement ‘That There May Be 40 Million ‘Counterfeits. New York—The statement was made at a meeting of the chamber of com- merce Saturday by Fransis C. Moore that of 80 million silver dollars now in circulation it is within the realm ot possibility that no less that 40 millior are counterfeit, Mr. Moore predicted this statement upon a report made to him by the pres- ident of one of the leading banks io this city that of 350 silver dollars turn: ed into the subtreasury by the institu: tion of which he is the head, no lest than 170 were confiscated by’ the gov: ernment as being counterfeit. Mr. Moore’s remarkable statement came as a protest to the report of the committee on finance and currency which had been referred the questior of investigating “measures that would tend to provide against a money situa. tHon such as we have had recently tc deal with.” . “I take exceptions,” said Mr. Moore “to that proportion of the report which suggests that the seeretary of the treas ury should redeem all silver allors nowoutstanding in gold. — ‘There are now outstanding about 80 million dol- lars In silver coin and 467 million dol- lars in silver certificates, while there is only 14 million doilars in gold ix the treasury with which to meet any ‘demand made upon the secretary of the treasury for the redemption of th¢ silver dollar. “Now I come to another, and to my mind, most serious point. It is that of counterfeit money. We stand face tc face with a situation that is a menace A silver dollar can be made today by 1 mechanic as well as the government can make it, and in which he has only to put thirty-eight cents’ worth of sil ver. The manufacture of counterfel silver dollars is carried on in this coun. try on a much larger scale than is gen- erally supposed. “Is not the temptation we offer fo1 counterfeit too great? It is not reason onable to believe that there are 49 mil lion counterfelt dollars included in the number that we ask the secretary 0 the treasury to redeem in gold.” ‘The November statement of the London board of trade shows a de crease of $8,146,500 in imports and an increase of $9,074,000 in exports. ‘The charge of woman-hating 1s ab- surd enough, but there can be no doubt of Lord Kitchener's opinion of the ‘*wo- manish” man.

TAKES EXCEPTIONS. Interesting Discussion About Plane tare ictelien. | In August Word’ and Works M. ‘Dougherty volces the ideas held by “many, and some have expressed them- Selves in similar terms. But to my mind, the {dea of a planet throwing a chunk of matter off Into space beyond \its own atmosphere, is contrary to the known workings of law. I will try to put the whole thing in ® “nutshell,” that Is, my own ideas, 90 if not very zood, they may not take up much “space. ‘A great many years ago, perhaps about the time grindstones were first invented, the observation was made ‘that when water was poured oa a rap- “idly revolving stone, little drops would fly from it, like sparks from the blows of the blacksmith's hammer on a red- ‘ot iron, On the day that observation [was made sclentists, or at least some of them, Jumped to the conclusion that a planet set revolving at a glven high ‘rate of speed, would hurl parts of it- |self off into space. If only those scien- ‘tists of astronomers, as you will, had [jumped ‘back and’ considered a’ tact which I will now point out to them, and so plainly that it can be felt, they would probably have looked in’ some other direction for facts to prove facts. A grindstone has no center of gravity ‘of its own; its center of gravity is at the earf’s center of gravity. The grindstone must revolve against the law; a planet revolves with the law. “As I see It, and as you will doubtless ‘come to ses it, it would be Just as rea- | sonable to suppose that a man riding "in a closed railroad carriage would lose his hair from the forward motion of the train, as to suppose a planet would ‘dy to pleces or throw off any part of itselt’ as a result of rapid revolution, “Were @ planet whirled through space by mechanical means, a sudden start or | stop would doubtless send all loose "inaterial on its surface spinning off in- | io space. As it is, the law, that gives "a planet all its motions, acts with equal | force upon every atom composing it. ‘The planet as a whole might leave its orbit, but it is as impossible for any | part of it to be thrown off aa a result “Of its motion, as iewould be for me to lite myself to the moon by my. boot |straps, It appears very much to me “like a make-shift to give God eredit for making one planet and chance credit | for making all the rest, ‘They were all created by @ law, in which or whom | there is no shadow of turning or | change, and you may call this God or ature: it is one and the same to me; but be assured of this—there is not an | sion in all the universe that is not fully under the control of this law. A planet has no welght; we say of the earth or other planet, that It weighs |so many decillion tons, but we never | stop to consider under what part of the planet-we should place the scales to | welgh tt. If we stopped long enough to Consider where to place the scales to Ket the correct weight, we would see at once that the only thing that could be ‘Weighed would be the scales them- selves, All that we can welgh of the planet is the sympathetic attraction the Whole planet has for its parts. In rela- ion to itself It has welght, but since |e see planets floating In ‘space and hung on nothing, we know that they have no weight. ‘To assert that a planet has weight, is to claim that there ts an up and down to space, a thing no intelligent mind would claim. 1 will make an’ assertion, and then I am ‘through: The rapid or slow motions of a planet have no effect. whatever on It, There ls no friction, and consequent- ‘iy a planet In motion is the same as [a planet at rest.

Superiority of American Navy Ad: mitted by Naval Experts. ‘The superiority of the men behind tne guns of the American navy was a deciding factor In the war with Spain. Before Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in Mantia bay and up to the time of the landing of the American army in Cuba, European opinion was favor- able to Spain. But the work of the American commanders and gunners at Manila and Santiago settled forever the question of naval prestige and ended “the war. Tn the last three years the relative merits of American and European sea- mien and gunners have been under dis- cussion the world over. ‘The superior- ity of the former has been admitted by many naval experts abroad, and thelr efficiency recognized everywhere. The system that brought into the navy men of high grade and trained them to ef- fective service has been highly complt- mented, but its merits never were more strikingly {lustrated than In a recent naval engagement in Colombian waters. | A gunboat in the service of the Co- Iombian government, but officered and manned by Americans, attacked the gunboats of the rebels, and in a short engagement destroyed one and captured another. The victory was due to the marksmanship of the American gun- ners, because there Was no opportunity for maneuvering It was a case in which the man behind the guns played the leading part in deciding an issue of war. “The effect, probably, will be seen in two directions, The presence of a war vessel on the Colombian coast manned by Americans will change the character of the war. It will be no longer an ir- regular war of reprisal and revenge, but Teal war, shortened by decisive en- "gagements. ‘The work of the American "gunners will tell heavily for the time being to the advantage of the Colom- dian government, but at the same time will excite increased hostility to Amer- cans among the revolutionists, and may raise some embarrassing questions "as to the employment of American sea- men by a foreign state. It may lead, again, to the employ- ment of Americans by the Colombian revolutionists, but the probabilities are that the appearance of Americans in the service of the Colombian govern- ment will exercise a sobering influence on both parties and inerease American prestige on the isthmus—Chicago In- tonticeas., Arid Lands and Irrigation. ‘The congressional estimate of arid Jands now under irrigation in the West is 7,510,598 acres, and California comes second with 1,446,119.

For years she had been an inmate of the institution, and the romance of her life was brought to light by the visit of a French noble- man. ‘Tagiioni's family name was Beran- ger. She was the daughter of Letetro de Beranger, colonel of the Veille Garde ‘of Napoleon I, and was born at Rouen, Normandy, in 1824. Her parents came to this country while she was a child and settled in New Orleans, where she made her debut on the American stage. ‘While still a child she traveled through Europe, and hed the honor of being in- vited to Queen Victoria's palace to per- form her wonderful feats before the royal family. it was Tagliont’s great boast in her old age that she sat several times on the knees of the then youthful queen of Great Britain. She aiso won the ap- plause and admiration of the emperor of Germany, who pronounced her tie most graceful creature he had ever seen, Mile. Beranger later traveled with a manager, and before completing her teens had acquired a large fortune. At the age of 20 she again visited Amer- ica, and here fell in love with and mar- ried Col. Andrew Parker, a wealthy merchant of Savannah.’ During the civil war she accomplished the most wonderful feats to aid the Confederate army, and at one time rescued her hus- hand ‘from prison by disguising herself as a peasant boy. At the age of 40, ‘Taglioni, after losing her husband, her four children and her fortune, again appeared on the stage, but soon after- ward met with an accident while walk- ing @ tightrope which compelled her finally to abandon her profession. She later married M. Vise, a well-to- do French nobleman, and ‘lived per- manently In New York and Philadel- phia. But at his death her resources decame limited, and year after year her income less, ‘In 1898, deformed and crippled, she asked admittance to the almshouse, where she died recently without ever breathing a word of sus- picion as to her interesting history.

Annual Report of Major General Cor. bin—He Says the Marriage of Young Officers is a Detriment to the Service. (Washington dispatch.) Early mar. rlages of officers in the army are op- posed by Major General Henry C. Corbin, adjutant general, in his an- nual report, just made’ public, The marriage of young officers 1s declared a detriment to the service, in that {t divides the attention of the men and detracts from their value in the work laid out for them. ‘The reestablishing of the post can- teen is advocated by the adjutant gen- eral. On these subjects the report says: ‘The early marriage of the younger officers of the army, many of whom are entirely dependent upon thelr pay and allowances for support, 1s greatly to be deplored and should be discour- aged. A young officer should have but one allegiance, and that should be to the service. Those without private means must ‘necesarily divide thelr pay between the demands of thelr of- fice and family. A considerable num- ber are required for service in the Philippines, where living 1s expensive and the accomplishment of this tour of duty results in actual hardship to officers with families. “The restoration of the exchange as it existed prior to the passage of the act of Feb. 2, 1901, prohibiting the sale of beer, 1s desired and urged by the great majority of officers and men and by none more than those of pro- nounced temperance views. Numerous reports confirm the views long held by this office that the old exchange contributed to sobriety, health, and contentment of the mon, The In- crease of desertions and of trials for infractions of discipline 1s, by those best informed, attributed to the aboll- tion of the former privileges of the ex- change.” ~ The report states that the army is to be reduced by Dec. 1 to 60,020 men, of which 2877 belong to the staff’ departments. ‘The report shows that during the fiscal years there were $5 officors killed in action or dled of wounds and disease and 68 were retired. Of the enlisted men 1,227 were killed or died of wounds and disease, 35,806 were dis- charged on the expiration of service, 5,498 were discharged for disability or dismissed by order of courtmartial, 4,667 deserted, two were missing, and 208 retired. General Corbin, in calling attention to his former recommendation that the rank and pay of military attaches abroad should be increased, suggests that retired officers of high rank might be solected tor this service. In reviewing the reports of officers who participated in the army and navy manouvers last September, Gen- eral Corbin says that much valuable information was acquired. He says: “The maneuvers proved that the rank and file of our army can be de pended upon in every emergency; that apparently impossible tasks can be ac- ‘complished under the spur of neces- sity, and that there {s an tmmeasura- ble gulf between practice and theory. ‘The lessons learned by both officers and men were of more practical value than years of ordinary garrison rou- ting and instruction.” ‘The adjutant general has obtained the number and find of arms in the hands of the national guard in the sev- eral states and finds less than 4,000 United States magazine riftes in their possession. Of the multitude of other types he says: “‘Rathis, heterogeneous collection of ‘obsolete arms is a serious detriment to the efficiency of the entire national ‘guard, which, in organization, drill, {nstruction, ete., assimilates closely to the regular army, and should be ‘armed with the same arms as the lat- ter.

It is being said in many Eastern ornaments and not a few Western ones hat the day of the poor man in mining is gone by; that no one but a big sorcerer can succeed in mining any more; that it takes big capital to do mages; that most of the good mining propositions are controlled by ran or millionaires and that there is no longer opportunity for a man rith a little money. This is all a misa- kike. The day of the "poor" mining man was never brighter nor greater rith right now. The assertion that most of the good nices are owned by trusts or million- lands is heard most often, but there is cast in that of any of the pessimistic interferences. One hears of the big mil- lionaire owners more than he does of be thousands of substantial com- panies that go right on with little society, paying good wages and monthly dividends. Finally it may be justly said in an- say to the assertion that opportunity longer exists for the man with a little money, that never in the world's history were there fluer opportunities a mining for the man with a little money than in the west half of Amer- cation today.

RIEDEL & CO, Bankers and Brokers, Colorado Springs, _____ Colorado, WHAT FOOTBALL REALLY IS. One Who Appears to Know Says It Is Mostly Pluck. When a human catapult, in leather jelts and dirt-smeared canvas suits, gongs suddenly up with terrific momentum at you through a hole in the line, you grit your teeth and dive in to not it. If you bring down your man you can jump back to your place behind the line, with the bleachers rattling, and feel that you have done what was expected of you. But if you missed your tackle, and merely stopped the avalanche by rolling under it, you lump back to your position with the cohesive roaring "rotten" at you. After two steaming, aching twenty-five minute halves of this sort of thing you go back in your "special car" to the gym and get a call-down from the trainer. That's football. It's pluck mostly. Without that no amount of more brute muscle is worth anything at all—Leslie's Monthly. The tunnel is excavated at Niagara Falls for the Canadian Niagara Power Company is a remarkable piece of engineering. When completed it will have a length of 2,200 feet. About 600 feet from the wheel-pin and 1,300 feet from the portal a shaft was sunk to the required depth, then, from this hatt, excavation was carried on in both directions. Both the tunnel and he wheel-pin will be about 1880 feet in depth. A bottle of Hamlin's Wizard Oil is a medicine bottle in itself; it cures pain in every form. 50 cents at druggists. Nature seems to have made Jamacie be home of the banana, but it remains for American enterprise to turn the yellow fruit to gold. It is estimated that $5,000,000 bunches of bananas have slipped from this island last year. At an average of 35 cents a bunch this year, it amounts to $500,000. It is also stated that about $1,085,000 bananas actually in wages by fruit companies this would bring a total of $5,000,000 on the island in one year as a direct result of the fruit trade.

The German-American Doctors 123 Walnut street, Kansas City, Mo Rupture I present to the readers of this paper a few testimonial letters and names of former patients whom I have cured of rupture, believing that the afflicted would rather correspond with some one who has been cured than read what I might say about myself.

You might doubt any stater entitle me make, but you cannot help but believe the statements of those I have cured. I will ask you to write to any or all of them.

I went to Dr. Henderson and was cured in three weeks. I cannot say too much for him. I know he can do just what he says he can do. The Doctor does not ask one tent of pay until the patient is well. This is the best guarantee he can possibly give to any person inflicted as I was. I will answer anyone who wishes to know more about my case. Very truly yours, A. R. OLSON.

My Dear Doctor: I desire to add my testimonial to those you have cured of rupture.

Since early youth I had been seriously troubled with a right scrotal rupture that was pronounced by doctors to be incurable except possibly by a dangerous surgical operation. Hearing of your treatment, I determined to try the same and am glad I did so, for after taking your treatment for three weeks I am now sound and well. Your treatment is all that you claim for it.

James Culps, a traveling man, died in Macon, Mo., last week and in deference to his expressed wish his funeral was conducted without ceremony or flowers save a wreath made from the artificial blossoms in a hat belonging to his wife. Just before his death he requested that Mrs. Culps on the day of the funeral play the music of his favorite hymn on the piano. The widow did so, though almost overcome with grief.

The charge of woman-hating is absurd enough, but there can be no doubt of Lord Kitchener's opinion of the "womanish" man. Nothing can be more uncompromising than his contempt for effeminacy. On his return from Egypt it is said, a young social top asked the General for his autograph, which he intended to have written, in silk on his jacket, under his helmet, with the remark: "Your sister's I presume." "No sir, my own. A very pretty pattern isn't it?" replied the young lord. "Very, what is your taste? hairpins?" asked the man who had won back kaartum—St. James Gazette. 14 H. P.

I was so tired. I had many times the rupture was so bad I could rarely retain it with the aid of a truss. Constantly grew worse and the pain so great I could not tolerate it. After reading my advertisement I concluded to rent a treatment. I my surprise you cured it after such a long time of suffering. I am ab-olutely relieved. After seeing the treatment and still feel that I owe you a debt of gratitude you hope to pay by inducing others to go to for it. I will gladly write to anyone about my case. I will be very grateful.

The latter, by way of poking fun at the woman's rights movement, said: "Man was made first, you know, and woman sprung from man. She is his inferior or that would not be natural." The actress replied: "I cannot agree with you. It is natural for the flower to come after the stem, but you surely do not call that an evidence of inferiority." English has been made a compulsory subject of study in Austrian schools. In Liverpool is a room—that of a dentist whose grandfather occupied the same premises—that contains many mirrors and pictures, the frame of which are made entirely of shark's teeth. Near Birmingham a manufacturer has a study that is lined, even to the roof, with nothing but chains of various thicknesses and padlocks of different sizes. Stephen Decature, Jr., of Portsmouth, N.

The number of laborers engaged on the Simpson tunnel in September was 3,014, who added 334 meters to the tunnel, which now measures 13,249 meters. George Foster Peabody has endowed a permanent scholarship in the Graduate School of Harvard university for the benefit of some graduate each year of the University of Georgia. The British government in India has undertaken the task of making 7,000,000 of natives immune from the plague. The laboratory at Bombay has received instructions to provide the material for 50,000 daily vaccinations. The Texas exhibit at the World's Fair, St. Louis, to cost $300,000, may be used to produce quilt patterns for exhibits. Bowie county has undertaken to prepare an independent exhibit in addition to its doing its full share in the larger exhibit of the great state. The Journal of Tropical Medicine prints an article by Dr. Sambon on the enemies of the mosquito. There are many of them, including a number of parasites, and the doctor expresses the hope that it may be possible, with the help of the mosquito quites, just as the scale was destroyed in California by an insect imported from Australia. Chancellor James R. Day has announced a gift of $10,000 to Syracuse university by Mrs. Esther Baker Steele, widow of J. Dorman Steele, the famous scientist, and donor of the Esther Baker Steele Hall of Physics. The gift was made some time ago, according to the letter, and was the part of the university authorities the announcement was withheld. In this land of innovations the sight of a father and son earnestly seeking an education at the same institution of learning can hardly be regarded as unusual. The University of Pennsylvania has on its rolls two such students. Bernet Medoff, the father, is 44 years of age, and Joseph Medoff, the son, is 25. Both will be graduated in the same year. The father is taking a three-year course in architecture, and the son is taking the arts and sciences course. As a result of some rough hazing in connection with the freshman banquet at Lehigh university two sophomores were expelled. The freshman and sophomore classes have agreed to abandon the two classes and reinstate the two men. It is expected that the faculty will consent. Lehigh is not the first college where the worst forms of hazing have been given up as a result of such an incident. Mme. Belba is to have an unusual honor in her native city. Her name is to be associated with a wing of the Melbourne hospital. She has announced her intention of giving a special concert for the benefit of this institution, and has herself subscribed for three boxes of £500 each. One of them she made to the president of the Mitchell; the second to her manager, George Musgrove, and the third to an unnamed friend. In a private letter Bishop Charles H. Brent, the Protestant Episcopal bishop of the Philippines, reports that he is studying Spanish and Tagalog, has journeyed as far as Dagupan, intends to travel around Luzon for three months after Christmas, wants a missionary to meet about, among the teachers in Embajernada, through the islands, and has decided to establish his church settlement in the Tondo (native) district of Manila. That the greatest gold fields the world has ever known are in the Amur River country in eastern Siberia is the opinion of E. B. McCowan, a mining expert, who has just returned from a 12,000-mile trip of exploration through the Asiatic possessions of Russia. The Russians, he said, took out $20,000,000 of gold last year from the placer deposits and have not yet begun to work the quartz. The mining methods of the Russians are very crude, Mr. McCowan says, and do not compare with American methods. Henri Murger, author of "La Vie de Boheme," whose name is inseparably associated with Traditions of the Quartier Latin, is said to have arranged his life month by month on a plan characteristic of a geology region. He chose to have three days of enjoyment at $50 a day, 27 days of drudging and pinching at the rate of 1$ and if the month happened to have 1$ days the extra day was provided for with the help of a dollar borrowed from a friend. An extraordinary case has been investigated by the city coroner of Melbourne, Australia. Two little girls, aged, respectively, $5\frac{1}{2}$ years and $3\frac{1}{2}$ years, were playing, when a quarrel arose. The younger child struck the older one on the forehead with a stick, causing her death. The jury found that the little girl had not discretion to discern between good and evil, and the coroner informed them that by this verdict he would be spared the necessity of committing the child for trial. The Royal Scottish Academy at Edinburgh is about to lose its president by retirement. Sir George Reid was elected academician in 1878 and president in 1891. Hitherto the academy has shared its galleries with the board of manufacturers; but it is now petitioning for possession of the Royal institution, and to be relieved of its obligation to teach art. The proposition is that the present galleries be retained by the board of manufacturers for the display of the national collection of works of art. The academy desires to become more purely an art society, less a teaching institution. The Kielene Zeitung has made the interesting discovery that, although the late Emite Zola is not likely to be reckoned among the saints, his family could boast of a canonized member, "St. Zola" was a nana of Zola, who town the town still living at the present surname of prominent lawyer of the same surname who practices in the court of appeal. John-Baptist Zola was born between 1570 and 1580, and in the year 1600 entered into the Jesuit Order. He was sent out as a missionary to Portuguese India, and made his way thence to Japan, where he was sent in 1820. The late Pope Plus IX canonized this "Saint John-Baptist Zola" in 1860. Baudelaire, the translator in French of Edgar Allan Poe and admirer of De Quincey, the author of "Fleur de Ma'i" and devotee of absinthe, has a statue to his memory in the cemetery of Montparnasse. The sculptor is a young West Indian named D Carmoy. It is said to be a curious work, as befits the curious character of Baudelaire, who was as ready in private life to say and do things that scandalized the Philistine as he was in literature to make verses on subjects usually ignored. Baudelaire sometimes amused himself in a restaurant by hand—band to hideous clowns which he had, and expressing his contrition so forcibly that strangers believed him in earnest. His curses on his creditors had more foundation in fact. His high, bulging brow and short, broad figure offer a task of great difficulty to the sculptor. OKLAHOMA BRIEF'S. It is reported that Secretary Hillock has made the statement that the Indian Territory will be thrown open for settlement within two years. The Farmers' Co-operative Union of of America has been incorporated with a capital of $100,000 and with headquarters at Warika. It is an anti-trust concern for the purpose of buying and handling farm products. Two trains of nine cars each left Oklahoma City for the town of Snyder, southwest of Lawton, which is open to settlement. Hundreds of homeseekers from Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana were on board. A strong flow of gas has been struck at a depth of eighty-seven feet on the farm of Edward Wilson, six miles northeast of Braman. A company is already organized in Braman to develop the find. The appointment of Wilson C. Johnson to be postmaster of Granite O. T. has been announced. Johnson is commonly known among the cowmen of the West as "I Bar" Johnson. He formerly lived at Medicine Lodge, Kas, and always has been a close friend of delegate Flynn. Ira N. Ferrill, serving a term in the Kansas penitentiary for killing W. T. Embry, has filed an original habeas corpus suit in the United States supreme court on the ground that the supreme court of Kansas is to slow in handing row a decision in the case. Attorney General Roberts has been notified of the filing of the case. The Santa Fe Railroad company has leased eighty acres of land on the farm of John A. Clark, near Tecumseh, for the purpose of developing valuable deposits of mineral paint ore discovered by a Santa Fe surveying party. The deposit has a surface exposure of 100 by 600 feet. The fact that the Santa Fe company found the deposit of sufficient volume to lease is taken as evidence that the ore is in paying quantities. It is announced that J. W. McNeal, who organized the first bank in Oklahoma on April 12, 1889, and who also organized the first national bank in the territory, the Guthrie National, will retire from the presidency of that institution on January 12, next. He will be appointed by ex-chef Justice Frank Dale. J. W. McNeal, Edwards officers of the Unian Trust Company, of St. Louis, have bought a large block of the bank stock and will increase its capital stock to $100,000. Bishava Yared, a Syrian street fruit vender was arrested in Oklahoma City for threatening to blind the 13-year-old son of W. W. Jennings, a Guthrie barrer, unless the latter sent $50 to the address of W. B. Jones. The boy called at the postoffice for a letter written by Jennings to Jones and the latter was found to be Yared. Yared was arrested by federal officers. The boy ran away from his home in Guthrie about two weeks ago and has since been living with Yared. The annual examination of applicants for certificates as instructors and instructors in nursing be held in the Oklahoma City High school building December 22, at 10 o'clock. This will be followed by an annual session of the Territorial Teachers' association, December 22, 23 and 24. Governor Ferguson will speak December 23 and the Oklahoma City Commercial club will give the teachers a 3,000 teachers in Oklahoma, of whom one-half probably will attend. Enid is the only city of its size in the United States that has no cemetery. The town is eightyears old and has a population of nearly 9,000, but has neevr had a burying ground of any description. There is an undertaking establishment in connection with a furniture store, but there has not been a natural death in several months. Most of the inhabitants are persons who moved from other states and when, after some misunderstanding one of the residents of the town is forced to send the body to the same state for burial. Enid has gained a reputation for its freedom from natural deaths. Further developments have come to light in the promise of an Oklahoma prisoner to tell the facts regarding the express robbery at Lincoln, Neb., two months ago, if pardoned for his Oklahoma offense. He is incarcerated at Oklahoma City, but his name is still withheld. It is reported that he has implicated Ed Filson, one of the men shot during a recent prize fight at Oklahoma City, and that the shooting was a result of a quarrel over the Lincoln robbery. From the fact that Ben Craven, the noted Oklahoma outlaw, attended the prize fight, it is believed that he may know something about the robbery. INDIAN TERRITORY The comptroller of the currency has approved the First National bank of Kansas City and the Third National bank of St. Louis as reserve agents for the First National bank of Juinton; I. T. C. E. Cooper, a prisoner confined in the federal jail in Chickasaw under the charge of larceny saw through the bars from the east window and escaped two other prisoners confined with Cooper refused to leave. Cooper trials was to have been before Commissioner Payne and his wife had just arrived in town. The officers suspect her of implication in the escape. Ferdinand Hamar, the sculptor who modeled the Rochambean monument, wishes to give the plaster cast of the statue to the City of New York, and will ship it from Paris at his own expense. D.

The Chicago Machinists and Metal Workers May Adopt It. The community of interest plan is being taken up by the International association of Machinists and the United Metal Workers, which come from the 500 machine shops in Chicago. The "handy man," who is common shops of the smaller size, formed a one of contention between the organizations. He was able to work as a machinist or as a metal worker, as the conditions demanded, and his dual capacity led to disputes over jurisdiction. An agreement has been ratified in the Chicago district, which takes in all the territory within a radius of 25 miles from the city hall, whereby the two unions now can take in every man employed in a machine shop, no matter what his work. The new plan will do away with riction which has seriously embarked contractors. On several occasions the differences between the two situations were resulted in costly delay to buildings as well as strikes in machine shops. THE HANSONS ARE HAPPY. Ashley, N. D., Dec. 8. —Cured of that nastiest of dangerous all diseases, Rheumatism of the Heart, J. H. Hanson of his place loses no opportunity of singing the praises of Dodd's Kidney pills. "I am able to work again," says Mr. Hanson. "And am feeling better than! I have nine years. Broken down and fairly used I can suffer from Rheumatism of the Heart and Dropsy." I was in very bad shape. "Then I started taking Dodd's Kidney Pills and—well, you can see how I look and feel as well as I look. My Rheumatism is gone and Dropsy with t.

"The first serious accident cose I ever had," said an old surgeon, one of a party of men sitting around and telling of old things they had encountered in life, "was that of a young man who had lost an arm—his right arm it was, too—by the premature explosion of a blast. He was a likely young chap and took a notion to him personally, to say nothing of the interest I felt in him as my first important case, and I felt a deep sympathy for him. "Somehow, he didn't have himself the downheartedness that you might reasonably expect of a man who had suffered his loss; but, on the contrary, he was really cheerful over it; and this I didn't understand. And I said to him one day that I thought he was a pretty plucky sort of a man to look at things as he did, considering that it was his right arm, too. "Why, that,' he said, 'is one of the receeming features of the whole business. Suppose I had lost my left?" "Why, says the man, 'I'm left hand ed! Where would I have been now if I had lost my left arm? I'd have been up the stump then sure enough." "So, to be sure, as between the two it was lucky for him to lose his right arm; and still it seemed and odd reason for thankfulness."

The mule was a week in which to think the matter over.Friday the men met and Garnie said he would close tie deal. Bierbower added that he would have to have ten bushels of turnips in addition. The prospective groom objected, but said he was willing to give five bushels. and a compromise was effected on seven and one half bushels.—Philadelphia Record. A bowling alley keeper at Orange, N.
