Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country CAN ANYONE IMAGINE. VOL. 15. NO. 51. Oidest and LIBERAL COM CAN ANYON On any man conjecture What strange things will appear, See if he starts on New Year's day And follows through the year? Each day will bring new events Which no one did expect— Emphasize on our sense, We cannot well object. One will bring their things around; Like as we may; We cannot tell what we shall see, Or who will go astray. One may introduce a play, We will take a part; We deep impression by this play, Will feel or wound some heart. These things can never be explained; They have no resting place; Day comes in through eternal gates, And enter into space. Nothing can denote its move, Of make it longer stay; Time will change our childhood days, And move our youth away. Time will change our glossy look— From sleek and black as night, To bragging in a tinge of gray, To next he'll paint it white; To make us feel so bright and strong To spirits young and bold; To be still and calm—That spirit's gone; To our faces lean and old. Es makes one wrinkle in our brow— I will place another there Breat the lustre from our eye, Which made it shine so fair. Es takes the quickness from our stepf and gives a tings of pain— We drive with all known human art, to bring it back again. TOPEKA. Mr. J. Simpson of 17.

So man start to go in time Stopping by the way, Alas! they turn to find their time Has gently slipped away, So common in our daily walks To hear some neighbor say— "We'll not perform this duty now— But on some other day. ho day old wisdom lifts its voice Let it reach the heart, Find out what your calling be Come forth and take your part Do not shift your duties on— Some other friend to do, You'll find it written all along "Friends to yourself be true." Solomon in his book has fixed— A time for everything A time to kill and make alive A time to dance and sing; A time to love a time to hate He gives us time to cry, A time to do each duty well Give up the ghost and die. A man who makes the move in time Regardless of the rest, By keeping strictly up with time, Will surely reach success. Moving stealthily on his way With full determined mind He'll pass the slothful on the road, And leave them far behind. Time will surely change their views, As we advance in years, So many seeds we sow in youth Will bring us fruit of teiit; Time will bring us all mistakes To plague us when we are told, Aiss! "We die and be forgot" Just as a tale is told. The Reform A good position in business, a plenty of money, ease, and, perhaps luxury make up what most men call success and happiness, but, we find every now and again a ray of light shed upon a higher and nobler motive for living, it is rather living for others. This is beautifully set forth by the refusal of Judges Taft to forsale the Philippines who are just entering civilization. He would rather stay with them and help them rise to the demands of the Twentieth Century than to return to his home in the United States and take a seat among men who are more like himself in education and refinement. Rarely do we see a piece of genuine selfishness as this. May his kind increase upon the face of all the earth, both among saints and sinners.—Ex.

In Her Pockets the Coroner Found "Hoodoo Balls" to Guard Against Ill Luck. Bettle Avent, a Negress, of 1327 Vine street, wife of Irm W. A Vent, a coach- man, fall dead at 7:30 of clock yesterday evening as she stepped through the doorway of a small grocery store at Fourteenth street and the Paseo. Deputy Coroner Claude T. Goble was called, and ordered the body taken to Stewart's undertaking room. An autopsy will be held this morning to determine the cause of death. Reports of domestic troubles led to the belief last night that the woman had taken poison. An examination of the woman's clothing at Stewart's undertaking room last night revealed eight "hoodoo" balls, which she had distributed about her person for the purpose of driving away "bad luck." THE PLACE FOR THE NEGRO. The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution says ediatorially. The proposal of Senator Morgan to people the Phillipines and the Negroes of the South is an unfortunate one—for him. It will not be considered seriously by any large part of the American public and will become quickly regarded as the vagary of a statesman. The southern Negro is at home where he is now and no other place on earth can be a better home for him. He has here all the opportunities that he could get in the Phillipines, if not more, and if he does not peaceably prosperously and contendently in his present environment he would not and any one, much less all, of those desirable things in Phillipines, in the West Indies or in Africa. There is no Negro problem in this nation today that is not in the hands of the Negroes themselves. Their future and their fortunes are within their own control and they can make them good and sufficient if they will. The white people of the south are not only willing, but honestly anxious, that the colored people should remain with us and make the best of their unrivaled opportunities for good citizenship and profitable, self-serving development. There are three lines of endeavor in which the Negroes of the South may establish for themselves almost indisputed monopolies. In agriculture the field is ever widening for the thrifty home-seeking Negro farmer to become an independent producer. Lands are cheap, labor is easy obtainable, and the returns are sure and commensive. As manufactures and kindred industries multiply in this section the fallow and fertile fields become more and more accessible to Negro enterprise in soil cultivation. It is a fixed fact, that if he will bend his efforts to the business he can soon be the paraport mount producer of agricultural stuffs in the south. The second field is acquired by the simple trade of artisan vocations in these the Negro has free competition without prejudice even now with the white workingmen of this section, and he does not have it—nor even will have it in any other section of the upland. Taking these facts for their full value he can, by the education of eyes & hands and due intelligence and honesty, occupy for his own the greater, part of this broad and profitable field of industry. Can the Negroes of the South then find better things than these offered them anywhere on earth?—Watchman. THE MAN WHO WINS. THE MAN WHO WINS. The clever man does not await his opportunity; but makes it like Napoleon. He is a man whose brain is clear: one who in this progressive age heeds not the pretty narrowness of same good old "has been," but has force and strength of speech and a subtle power of intellect that does not bewilder the less tutored, but who is able to bring to the surface the best that such minds contain. Such a man strikes usually from the shoulder, say what he means, and stands by what he says and has none of the characteristics of the weather cook. STAND UP FOR THE FLAG. The American flag we prize, Lift her up to the skies; It must not trail. Let every son that be. Stand up for the land of the free; For the home of liberty, For the home we love. Let Monroe Doctrine stand, If it calls for every man To protect the flag. Let the President sound the call, North, South, East, West and all; Let Dewey and Schley not fall. But let's be free. The Monroe Doctrine we'll save, If it takes every man to his grave; And the fiasa will forever wave. PUBLIC OPINION WHAT OUR THOUGHTFUL EDITORS FIND TALK ABOUT. A few weeks ago 25 white men near the town of Livington, Texas, met three Negroes and whipped them brutally. When asked by the Negroes the cause of this unexpected outrage, the white secondrials with curses and impudence replied: "We do it because we want you to understand that this is a white man's country." Unless the best class or law abiding white people of the South put a stop to this lawless element, the exodus of the Negroes to the North and West will increase in volume, and the farms of the South will suffer for the want of laborers. And if tough and envious white men make it a business to emulate the example of those 25 highwaymen, there will be funerals on both sides. "Star of Zion." THEY SAV Why didn't you see after them.

Although the severity of our difficulties and trials may tempt us to reveal a spirit of retailization and a desire to strike back, yet we must set our faces strenuously and resolutely to resist and every attempt in that direction. In our patience we are we to possess our souls. Of course we are to be men, and promptly, respectfully and pointedly are we to plead our own cause whenever the ultimate demand the same. It is just this kind of persistent conduct and general bearing under great provocation that will lead to our better treatment and final emancipation from the dominance of a public sentiment inimically disposed toward us. This whole public sentiment will gradually be revolutionized in our favor. We shall constitute a living miracle of grace and endurance, and men will yet lead, by that mighty spirit of righteousness, to do the fair and honest thing by a race of people who having been tested through fire and blood emerged as much immuned from the effect of the same, as Daniel of old from the power of the flames.—Afro-American. As Republican supremacy in the canvass of 1904 may depend on the retention of the black vote by that party, we realize the interest which attaches in both parties to the anti-Nargo campaign among the southern "tilly white" Republicans, and to President Roosevelt's opposition to any discrimination on account of color. Politicians also should realize the significance of the movement organized among the leaders of the Colored race in the south to demand enactment of a law to pension former slaves under penalty, in case of refusal of an appeal to the Colored voters up north to bolt the Republican ticket in 1904. On the basis of the vote of 1902 for congress or state officers, the transfer of the Negro vote or any large section of it, from the Republican to the Democratic side would mean a victory for the Democrats in the next presidential campaign. Assuming that the Republican's large majority of 1896 and 1900 will vanish in 1934 with the disappearance of the silver issue, it is reasonably certain that the swing of any large section of New York's 31,000 Negro voters to the Democrats and the change in the same direction of New Jersey, 21,000, Maryland's 3000, Delaware's 8000, Maryland's 60,000, W Virginia's 115,000, Indiana's 18,000 and Kansas' 14,000 would give the Democracy the president in that year. The transfer of these close states from the Republican to the Democrat column in 1904 would add 88 electoral to the list which will get from the solid soul and Nevada, which will go to them in any event. This would mean a total of 232, of 1 more vote than 233 which will be a majority of the electoral college—Ez. ```markdown ``` WHITE GIRLS SERVE NEGROES, Reed Smoot Raises a Cry in Utah by Inviting Them to a Banquet. Salt Lake City, Utah. Considerable comment has been aroused in Utah over the octop of Senator-elect Keed Smoot in seating some Negroes at a banquet with white people and having white girls serve them. The Souther- ners now living in the state express themselves on the subject with especial vigor. "And to think," said one of them to day, "that Smoot's father was a Kentuckian and a slave-holder. It must have made the old man turn over in his grave." Friends of Smoot defend his course. He himself is quoted as saying in explanation: "If President Roosevelt is not to good to entertain a colored man at the White house I don't see why I shouldn't have colored people as my guest." The occasion at which this took place was at the banquet given by the Apostle and Mrs Simcoi to the members of the state legislature and state officers in Povo. Invitations were given officers of both houses. One bookkeeper of the is a Negro man who in private life is a janitor and politician. He received an invitation. He took along his wife and a couple of Negro friends with their wives. One of the other men is the editor of a weekly paper for Negroes and the second is employed as a porter. EDITORIAL The colored people in order to be progressive and intelligent must read and keep abascal of the times. There are thousands of families where a newspapers or book, never shocks the rays of intelligence. Is it any wonder then that the race is not making the desired advancement? It is not what has been but what he is today that we must know an under stand. Get in touch with the world and its affairs. The Recorder. --- An American scientist has come to the conclusion that the tendency of to much education or intellectual development in woman is to make them lose lose their beauty. He in instances the Zaro women of India. They are supreme. They woe the men, control the affairs of the home and leave the man nothing to do. The result is, says the scientist, that they are the ugliest women on earth. ```markdown ``` The best citizens of any country are found among those who live in their own home, who own the soil they cultivate, and one of the most hopeful signs of the success of the Southern Negro is found in the fact that he is rapidly becoming the owner of his own home. He will naturally gain somewhat of the sturdiness of character that always comes with independence. The January number of the Southern Workman contains a valuable article by the Rev. G. S. Dickerman on the land issue of the Negroes of the South. An excerpt from this article is doubly suggestive: "The most remarkable exhibit of Negro ownership of farms" says the writer, "in afforded by Virginia and Maryland. Virginia contains 166 counties, and only one, Acoonace, has so small a population as 13.5 per cent of the owners and managers. Only 9 counties have less than 40 per cent, and only 30 less than 50 per cent. More than half of the counties have over 70 per cent, 33 over 80 and 12 over 90. Moreover, if we compare these figures with those for white farmers it is very much the same in Mary land." This shows the strength of a tendency on the part of the colored people to take root in the soil. With present remarks going on in the education of this people, this tendency is destined to be greatly strengthened. This is altogether wholesome. Does it not at the same time necessitate the necessity for such rural schools for the white race as will install lessons of economy and thrift and will give that training which will enable the rural population, not only to possess the land, but to subdue it. A people can desire to live in the country only when capable of making the country a desirable place in which to live.—Southern Education Notes. WARM MEMBERS Among musical organizations of color that are meritorious and up-to-date is the Othello Mandoline club composed of Messers Frank Duncan, W. E. Sparks L. R. Brown, W. Reynold, and J. D. Reynolds. We had a occasion to listen to the delightful stran of melody as rendered by this organization and we have no hesitation in saying that their equals is not found in the west. They must be heard to be highly appreciated. POLITICS AND POLITICIANS. The battle has been fought and as the smoke clears away Tom Gilbert rises in bold relief as the Republican nominee for mayor of Greater Kansas City. It was a most wonderful victory for Gilbert 2700 majority who would have believed it? His commanding officers understood their business from the word go, and from the leaving of the grand stand all around the track whip an lash were used but in the home stretch Gilbert distanced his opponent, Orrin W. Shepherd Gilbert was handled by such well-known horsemen as Harry Mendenhall the popular Sheriff of Wyandotte county U. S. Sartin postmaster and E. A. Enright representative and ex-county attorney. These horse men have been around the track some themselves and they know a thing or two. Now speculation is on to know who will go the rounds against Gilbert on the Democratic ticket, many are called, but few chosen as yet. At any rate the hardest fight is yet to come. As we mentioned in our last issue—Gilbert had the best of the situation all the way through. A lull will now be in evidence in political affairs then will come the storm. Representative E. A.Enright is a happy man. It must be a grand thing to be an ex-member of the 20th Kansas. There is a rather live scramble to get in the Gilbert camp Shepard was not a good shepherd he trusted his sheep with too many herders. Gilbert convinced Jim Getty that he was certainly a lady liked man. Wonder who will mind the Shepherd flock of sheep. Sam McGonigal had a lively time at the 8th precinct in the 2nd ward. Harry Darby was the doorkeeper at the 8th precinct polling place. Harry Mendenhall sheriff of Wyandotte county is responsible for the heavy Gilbert vote in the 2nd ward. Dr. Glasscock is quite a campaign orator. Have you seen Will Woods Nat Barnes won a nice little bet on Tom Gilberi. H. F. Johnson of the 3rd ward weighs several pounds heavier since being with the winner. Dorsey Green is a committeeman from the bloody 3rd. Much interest is centered on, what faction of the Republican party will control State patronage—Both sides are singing Bill Bailey won't you please come home. Police Judge Thos. B. Bowis formably mentioned as a candidate for Mayor on the Democratic ticket. FEBRUARY 13 1:08 the Country FOR TERMS THE "NEGRO" TEST APPLIED. Senate Committee's Rejection of Crum Is Declaire. Washington. The rejection by the Senate committee of commerce today of the nomination of Dr. W. D. Crum, a Negro, for the office of collector of the port as Charleston, S. C., is generally regarded here as a test of the support to be given President Roosevelt in his efforts to help the Negro. Prior to the meeting of the committee in a conversation at the White house, President Roosevelt expressed himself in favor of a direct vote on the nomination of Dr. Crum. If he were rejected, the President said, he would try to appoint somebody who would be more acceptable to the people of Charleston. He was emphatic, however, in declaring that and attempt to postpone indefinitely "dodge" a direct vote on the nomination so as to defer action until after Congress adjourned, would be met with tee prompt renomination of Dr. Crum as a recess appointment. These views of the President were largely responsible for bringing auction up on the nomination today. It was the programme of the opposition to Dr. Crum to defer the final vote, but there seems to be a general disposition, especially among leading Republican, to put a quistus upon discussion of the race question by disposing of the nomination at once. Six Democrat two Republicans combined to defeat the Negro collector of customs, while seven Republicans fell constrained—some of them against the i better judgment—to vote to sustain the Negro whom the President had nominated. Those in favor of confirmation were Senators: Frye, Elkins, Gallinger, Dewp, Penrose, Hanna, and Mason. Those against were: Jones of Nevada an Perkins, Republican; Vest, Berry, Turner, Martin, Clay and Mallory. TAKE DUE NOTICE. WE, The American Citizen Pub.

"There are great problems to-day calling for the best citizenship and the most devoted patriotism," he said: "One is the tendency, growing, I fear, to dissensions between the wealthy, and the poor, under which wealth tends constantly to endeavor to control matters generally through egislation, thus stirring up a conflict and a war upon the wealthy, based upon envy and jealously. Every good citizen should make his protest and set his face against it and make it certain that in this country of ours we shall have no war of classes. "A second problem is a tendency to check individual enterprise and development. The chance that every poor boy has by his own efforts, his industry, his energy and his courage, to rise as high has a man can rise is the very foundation of our liberty. "Labor unions are increasing" the prohibition against the better man making the most wages and doing the most work he is capable of, in favor of the poorer workman. This is putting a premium on sloth and stupidity. I make no war on labor organizations; I believe in them. I believe that in the struggle for life now with its growing riches the laboring man is bound to organize. I believe he is entitled to do so, and I am glad to see him organize to get his own. But let us set our faces against the tendency to say to any American boy, 'You shall not do the best you can.' "A third problem is one with which this club might be concerned. You have heard the speakers tell to-night of the organization of negro regiments by this club and of their marching down Broadway beside them. Within two years after the foundation of this club, the nation, by the thirteenth amendment, provided that slavery should not exist in this country. By the fourteenth amendment the nation recognized the black man and provided that all men born or naturalized in this country should be citizens. By the fifteenth amendment it declared that no man should be debarred from voting if he was a citizen and eligible. "Those three amendments embodied the scheme adopted by thoughtful men PRINCESS AND GIRON PART. Lawyers Were Present, Tears Shed, but She Will See Her Children. Geneva.—The legal advisor of the former Crown Princess of Saxony has made the following announcement: "M. Giron will leave Geneva for Brussels, where he will join his family. M. Giron has broken off all relations with the princess in order not to impede the reunion of the princess with her children." Herr Zehme, the lawyer from Dresden, arrived at Geneva and went immediately to the Hotel Suisse, where the Crown Princess of Saxony, M. Giron and Maitre Lachenal awaited him. A long interview took place, in the course of which the princess, in a torrent of tears, cried: "I must see my poor children again." Immediately after it was over Herr Zehme announced that all relations between the princess and M. Giron had been completely broken off and that M. Giron was returning to Brussels in the evening. He intends never to see the princess again. When asked who arranged this, the lawyer said that he and M. Lachenal had done so. M. Giron, he declared, was making a great sacrifice for the good of the princess. This was in reality the only possible solution, as the princess would not relinquish the liberty to see her children, which the crown prince insisted upon withholding unless she consented to separate from M. Giron. The parting between the princess and M. Giron was most touching. The princess wept and M. Giron was much affected. The princess will remain at the Hotel Suisse an indefinite time. 5-Million Dollar Deal. Los Angeles, Cal.-The Montezuma group of gold mines, in the Popago district of Goldhahua, Mexico, has been bought by the United Mining and Exploration company of Los Angeles.

EW YORK Letter: The fashionable girl of spring will be a composite creation. She will walk beautifully but feminine; simple but elegant; her gowns will reveal the most delightful color schemes, but all three times will they be harmonious. gown is on the shirt-waist and skirt order, but made very simply and gracefully. Accompanying such a toilette is a smart toque of greevel. Its own trimming consists of a large blue an green bird which covers the left side and droops over the back of the toque a touch of grey in the hat. ulous. Her individual tastes will find expression in her gowns and everything that she wears will emphasize her originality. The spring novelties which now occupy the places of honor in the shops, having relegated winter fabrics to the bargain counters, are not necessarily expensive, though there are instances in which one might run the limit of a garment. Happily dress which for many years raised a sharply accentuated dividing line between the rich and poor has today levelled all class lines, and some of the most beautiful materials are so cheap that they are easily within the reach of the woman with a limited dress allowance. For instance, among the smartest fabrics in which the newest shirt waists appear are mercerized cotton, madras, chambray, batiste, mull, mull, law, lace, and lace. For a dress way, is no more or less than a linen-finished cotton fabric with a high-sounding name. The spring shirt waist, while it sags over the belt at the front, shows a square, rather than the rounded outline of previous years. This is a French idea which will no doubt become very special, especially with slender, graceful women. The shirt waist suit which appeals principally to women whose mornings are devoted to shopping is diversified this season by a few touches of color. An especially chile design is carried out in gobelin blue foulard embroidered in old rose and nile green silk. The blouse waist closes with an inverted box-plait, and the shoulders which intermingle gracefully with the folds of the blouse effect at the end of the stitching. The sleeves are in bishop pattern and have an inverted box-plait to the elbow. A novel idea is expressed in the hip-hole, which is made in one piece with the narrow front breadth of the skirt and supports three flaps of blouses which are given pompones by a drop skirt of gobelin blue taffeta. Still another shirt waist frock is made of putty colored pongee and has the skirt shirred around the top in simulation of a hip-yoke. The waist is a distinctive affair, being embroidered with a distinctive pattern. The alphabet in bright colored sills. The new color schemes are to be recommended for their daintiness and general becomingness. Grey with shades of sage green, is a favorite combination, although it is often compelled to share honors with burnt orange mingled with white cloth and eru cer lace. Indeed there are many ways to include the lace, for, like the touch of black, it lends character to a gown when other trimming fails. Brown and white, one of the most sought schemes of winter will be a heritage of spring fashions. A very smart street gown is of brown and white mixed goods wits pipings of brown silk. The jacket has bishop sleeves and a plaited front, with a double collar and a stole which are piped with silk. The skirt has a habit back and is ornamented with wide straps of the material piped with silk. Dark brown crocheted ornaments form an effective finish on both jacket and skirt.

Theodore Hallam one of the most celebrated of legal practitioners, once defended a burglar; and the case gave him a story that he never tired of telling. The prosecuting attorney was fighting vigorously, and had the defendant's wife on the stand. "You are the wife of the prisoner?" he asked her. Yes, she replied. "Oh, you know his mode of life when you married him?" "I did, sir." "Will you tell us, then," went on the prosecutor, surprised by this admission, "now you came to contract an One of the largest barber "colleges" in New York is located in Canal Street.

The students pay for tuition, and the students claim, that more there. for uplifting those long held in slavery, Give him suffrage and citizenship and equal rights and he will rise, they thought. "I fear we are compelled to face the conclusion that the experiment has failed. The suffrage has been taken away from the black man is most of the states in which he composes the larger part of the population. The black man in the South, generally, no longer has practically the right to suffrage. "It is probably but a matter of time when the overwhelming dominant white opinion will succeed in excluding the black man from all offices in the Southern states. "So, the country has to face the failure of the plan formulated at the close of the war to elevate the black man by conferring the suffrage upon him. "We can never throw up the responsibility for these people held in slavery for so many generations. The new question, What can be done for them, now that the first plan has failed is one that challenges the best thought and the best patriotism of our country." "A curious development has been seen within the past year. President Roosevelt has appointed fewer black men than President McKinley, and there are to-day fewer black men holding office than when McKinley died. Yet loud outcries are to be heard in the South about President Roosevelt's policy of appointing black men to office in the South. Under previous Presidents, McKinley, Cleveland, Harrison and back to Hayes's time, more negroes were appointed to office and nothing was said. "A black man attended an official reception in Washington at the White house a short time ago. The black man, as official of the government, had always attended these receptions. Yet the invitation of the President to these men was the signal for an outcry of a thousand papers in the South that the whites were being insulted. For an instant, after the Secretary of War had finished a hush fell upon the audience. Then the applause was fairly deafening. It continued for at least two minutes, swelling all the time, and finally broke out into voiceless cheers. The occasion was the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the club. Around Mr. Root on the platform in the large hall of the club sat fifteen of the thirty-two survivors of the 534 men who joined the club in 1863. Four hundred members were present when the senior vice president, William E. Dodge, in the absence from the city of the president, Cornelius N. Bliss, called the audience to order. BRYAN WILL NOT ATTEND. Refuses to Be at Harmony Banquets With Cleveland. Chicago.—William J. Bryan declares that he will refuse to attend any banquet to which Grover Cleveland is to be invited. Mr. Bryan's declaration was made through an intimate friend to the officers of the Iroquis Club, which intended to invite Bryan, Cleveland and other Democratic leaders to a banquet to be held on Jackson's birthday, March 16. It had been proposed to make this banquet the occasion for a national Democratic love feast. The banquet committee of the club had prepared a list of prominent Democrats to whom invitations to be present and deliver addresses were to be sent. The first name on the list was that of former President Grover Cleveland. The second was that of William J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan passed through the city and saw the list of speakers at the Iroquis banquet that had been published and immediately declared that he would not attend the banquet. "What need is there of inviting anyone else to a banquet at which Grover Cleveland is to be present?" he asked, and he requested a friend to have his name stricken off the list of those who were to be invited to the Iroquis Club banquet. Among the men who are to be invited to attend the banquet are: Grover Cleveland, Horace Boise, David B. Hill, J. J. Hill, Richard Oney, William C. Whitney, Daniel Lamont, Don M. Dickinson, Henry Watterson, ex-Attorney General Harmon and Senator Bailey. Roosevelt Is Confident. Washington.—"I have quit worrying about my nomination," President Roosevelt said to a friend recently. "I consider that settled and I am quite sure that I will be the choice of the convention. "What I am worrying about now is whom the Democrats will nominate. From all I can learn and from the trend of things in general it seems to me that a man from my own state, Judge Parker, will be my opponent." Brazil Wants No Meditation Washington.—Senor Assiz Brazil, the minister from Brazilí called at the state department Saturday to talk with Secretary Hay over the threatening conditions in Acre. The secretary's efforts to prevent hostilities have not succeeded and he is restrained from tendering the good offices of the United States by an indisposition upon the part of Brazil to accept them. Fashion Notes of Today. A As to Two Evils BARBER'S WORK GRATIS gown is on the shirt-waist and skirt order, but made very simply and gracefully. Accompanying such a toilete is a smart toque of gree velvet. Its only trimming consists of a large blue and green bird which covers the left side and droops over the back of the toque. Desiring a touch of grey in the hat a bird with wing feathers of this shade might be selected, but the blue and green is quite the most chic novelty of the day. There are a thousand ways of employing tucks on suits and bodices and each is distinctive and pretty. Royal blue zibeline is selected for a dressy street suit for spring wear. The gown is decorated with narrow corded tucks and pipings of blue satin and was designed especially for the automobile show which is attracting considerable social attention. The coat is made with a peplim and bell sweets. It has a rolling collar and reverses of blue satin appliqued with white lace. The finishing touches are gained through an imposing silk cord and ornaments matching the suit in color. Beaver hats will be worn very late and becoming in apropos by the coming of spring weather will be supplanted by chiffon designs carrying out the same ideas in shape and trimming. One of the daintiest confections of the season is a hat of grey beaver trimmed with white fur. The hat can be worn across the front and over the upturned brim on the left side, with a long grey and white plume. A novelty that promises to be more than a passing fancy is shown in the new gloves. They are made of suede and widening with something of acircular flare above the last button are cuffs of the suede embroidered in silk in raised designs. This necessitates the wearing of the sleeve weltband because the suede shown on the gloves are in the season's popular shades it is an easy matter to select tints that will harmonize with the gown. Table linen has been impressed into service to produce a vagary of fashion, just as towelling was employed last season. A fetching waist is designed of heavy satin damask, with a wake back and front and a large box plait down the front, with immense pearl buttons. There is a plethora of novelties in the shops, though the majority are of the variety classed as transient. The varicolored silk buttons finished with cords and tassels will remain, because there is something of grace in the tassels as they swing to and fro with each motion of the body, and grace is an element which all energies are concentrated. A collarette really girlish in its attractiveness is of white satin and accented with flatteries. A short cape below the stole of satin. Accompanying the collarette is a hat of white chiffon, finely shirred, with a cluster of velvet roses beneath the brim and close to the hair in front. --- Mayor Hayes, of Baltimore, is endeavoring to have abolished the city's exaction of a fee of 15 cents from sightseers who go to the top of the Washington monument.

Experiments in the use of electricity as an anesthetic are about to be made on human subjects by a French doctor at Nantes. THE FEELINGS OF PLANTS. They Have Electric Thrills and Sentient Impulses. Long ago Sir J. Gordon Sanderson showed that electrical manifestations were capable of being demonstrated in the case of the movements of the fly-catching plant of North Carolina known as the Dlonaea, or "Venus" fly trap. He deduced from his experiments a close analogy between the electrical reactions of the plant world and the current naturally leads to ward the recognition of a common basis for the movements of animal and plant life. More recently experiments seem to indicate that such electrical responses are possibly universal through the plant world. Bose has shown, for example, that in the case of the leaf stalk of the horse chestnut, the current was noted in the stalk from a part which had been injured to the uninjured portion. This corresponds with what is known to occur in experiments on animal tissues. When the stimulation ceased and the tissue regained its normal state "a current of rest" was observed to be established, such as may be the natural condition of the plant. All such experimentation bears very directly on the question of plant sensitiveness. Most of us regard the plant as a purely vegetable thing, living, but incapable of reasoning, as does the animal, to stimulm which affect a nervous system. This view is founded on a misconception of life's constitution at larger, than at smaller, levels of the tropism, or living matter, and this matter, as regards sensitiveness at least, may be regarded as practically identical in the two great groups of living nature. Time was when the living matter of plants was regarded as being confined within cells, each of which was shut off from its neighbors. Now we know that plants are broads and mighty plants run from cell to cell. Hence it is summed that when an impression is made on the protoplasm of one part of the plant it may be transmitted to distant parts of the organism. Some plants—sensitive in their nature—show the results of stimulation by the drooping of leaves and like actions. But even in plants which do not exhibit such obvious results of stimulation we may possibly observe (accompanied by electrical reaction) such a high, outward sign of the irritation is manifested. It is because plants have immovable tissues, so to speak, that they do not exhibit movements as a rule. Yet when a daisy's petals its petals under the influence of a cold wave on a summer's day we are sure in the region of sentient life, manifested by actions not far beyond those of the animal and specially from plants. Wordsworth's idea that "every flower enjoys the air it breathes" may, after all, be founded upon a scientific basis.—London Chronicle. TRICK ON THE MINISTER Why His Congregation Occupied the Front Pews. One of the ministers of the city—who to obvious reasons doesn't care to buy a car—warned for obvious reasons doesn't care to have his name mentioned in the matter—tells a story of a trick that one of his chums put up on him during the early days of his ecclesiastical career. The echum was on sociable terms with the officers of the church he attended and secured the appointment of his chums to supply on one of the Sundays during the summer vacation. "Now, Jim," the chum said, after the young minister had thanked him, "there is one thing I would like to have you remember when you preach at our church. Nearly all of our people are away, but, strange to say, the majority of those that are still in town are deaf. They haven't been able to hear the church sermons. So we do use every bit of voice you have to make those people hear what you have to say." Accordingly, the minister, remembering his chum's instructions, let loose the full strength of his voice when he conducted the services of the church in question on the following Sunday, and the minister—let it be remarked here, while not of especially robust build, has been endowed by nature with vocal organs of a particularly powerful variety. The minister said in telling the story, that he noticed, with both surprise and pleasure, that the greater part of the congregation was seated near the front, instead of on the rear seat, as in the congregation in the church, to use all of his strength, he says, in the opening prayers, but waited for the sermon, when he went at it for all he was worth. At any sign of restlessness or unlessness he redoubled his efforts. When the service was over one of the officials went to the clergyman—the chum was out of town, by the way—and, after expressing his interest in the sermon, said he had been greatly surprised to find the preacher the possessor of such a powerful voice. "Your friend," he said, "told us that you were a good preacher, but that your voice was extremely weak, and that it was dulled the face. You less one sat far up toward the front. So you nobody as body as near the pulpit as possible." "But, I understand," the minister said, "that, through some mysterious dispensation of Providence, nearly all your people were deaf." Explanations followed, and it was well for the chum just then that he was spending Sunday out of town. Baltimore Sun.

A Reuter's dispatch from Bukharest says: The council of ministers is considering the question of the Second International Petroleum congress, which it is proposed to hold here. Although the majority is favorably disposed towards the congress, it has yielded to the insistence of M.

OKLAHOMA BRIEFS Willis Griffin, the first white child born in Guthrie and the territory after the opening of old Oklahoma in April, 1889, is dead. His parents participated in the run, secured a claim and have lived there ever since. Intense excitement prevails in Taloga and Dewey counties over the discovery of gold, copper and iron on the farm of R. M. Maloney, five miles northeast of Taloga. Business has been practically suspended there, so great is the excitement. Hundreds of people are flocking to the scene. It is estimated that this season's cotton crop in Oklahoma will reach 175,000 bales, the greatest in the territory's history. Out of the twenty-six counties in the territory, twenty are cotton producers. Dealers state that the total acreage increases gradually each year. The ruling price during the season has been 8 cents. The cost of care and maintenance of Oklahoma's deaf and dumb and insane as well as of the territory convicts, all of whom is done under contract for two years, at shown by Territorial Auditor Baxter's statement recently made public, is: Insane, $122,757; convicts, $69,894; deaf and dumb, $28,675. Oklahoma City was in dangor of destruction one day last week. A blaze that started caused a loss of 1/4 million dollars. The wind was so strong that for a time it seemed as if the fire could not be checked. Calls for aid wene sent to Guthrie, El Reno and Purcell. All three cities responded. Fire departments were sent by special trains. They got there in time to aid in stopping the flames. At Mangum, even the electric light plant does not run on Sunday, because the manager was notified to keep it shut down, under penalty of prosecution for violating the Sunday law. Causing the electric light plant to shut down Saturday night at 12 o'clock and remain shut down until Monday morning is rather inconvenient for the townsmen of that city and they are trying to have the law changed. Some weeks since an Oklahoma merchant ordered ten pounds of salt-peter from his jobber and received it immediately by fast freight. It was sold to farmers of the neighborhood, who used it in curing meat. Recently so many complaints came in of the apertive properties of the meat treated that the wholesaler was asked to look into the matter, and it was found that a careless packer had sent eposm salts. Fifteen families passed through Shawnee the other day for South Pottawatomie county, where they will settle on lands recently purchased. Most of them were from Western Missouri and Eastern Kansas, although several were from Northern Iowa. Immigration to South Pottawatomie county is rapidly increasing and most of the incomers are prosperous and money farmers from the Northern states. In nearly every case they are inaugurating substantial improvements in the way of replacing pioneer houses with good frame houses and other improvements. INDIAN TERRITORY. The Kiowa and Comanche Indians will be paid $200,000 within the next sixty days. In Judge Gill's court, in the Northern district of the Indian Territory, the trial of Earl Holt, charged with the murder of James Holland, of Westville, was concluded last week and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The trial lasted a week and was bitterly contested by both sides. Deputy marshals arrested Noah Hawkins, of Ada, a well-to-do fullblood Indian, charged with the recent murder of Stephen Huller. It is alleged that both were in love with the same Indian maiden, and that Hawkins, in order to get rid of his rival, murdered him. The Cherokee land office has been in operation at Vinita for one month, and the work of the month is as follows: Tickets of admission issued, 3,902; total number of tickets admitted during the month, 603; total number of individual allotments made during the month, 1,045; additional locating clerks have been added to the force and the allotments will be made a little faster. At this rate it is estimated it will require three or four years to allot the Cherokee nation Following an investigation by the chiefs of the Klowa, Comanche and Wichita affiliated tribes of Indians whose reservation in Oklahoma was recently opened to settlements, agents of immense land grants in Old Mexico are now with them, to close, if possible, a deal by of which the Indians take 1,780,000 acres of land adjoining the Rio Grande river, in the state of Chihuahua and Ahuila. The state have reported favorably on the land to their tribes. It is claimed that 1,000,000 acres will cost 50 cents each and the remainder at $1 per acre.

Chinese Students Come Here. The two Chinese students who have been "held up" by the San Francisco immigration officials, under the interpretation of the Chinese exclusion law, and who were released recently by the decision of the treasury department, were the first of the number of which the Chinese government, under an imperial decree issued last year, made provision to send to education institutions in this country. The students are sent here at the expense of the Chinese government to take poor graduate courses, and upon their return to China those successful in aminations will be appointed to government positions.

The soldier's patriotism ought not to terminate with his military service. It should prompt him to go to a chiropist rather than to the pension bureau. An Important Discovery Granton, Okla., Feb. 9th. After ten years E. H. Gosney of Granton has at last found a cure for Kidney Trouble. Mr. Gosney suffered very severely with Kidney Complaint and some years ago made up his mind to find a cure if one was to be had. He has tried and tried and experimented with every kidney medicine he could hear of. Although he was all ways disappointed he kept on trying till at last his perseverance was rewarded and he found a complete cure. He is a well man today and explains it as follows: "Everything failed to cure me and I was growing worse and worse till tried a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills and I had not taken many of them before I knew I had at last found the right thing. I am entirely cured and I cannot say too much for Dodd's Kidney Pills." A NEW KLONDIKE. There is a rich placer gold field in New Mexico that is known to be six miles square and the gravel is 10 to 1000 feet thick, in which there is enough gold to pay the national debt. This deposit of gravel has been formed by the action of water, eroding the tops of the many rich quartz veins on the Ortiz mountains, on which is located the Santa Fe Gold and Copper Co. mines, that have paid over $17,000,000 to the owners. The famous Lincoln Lucky mine is also on this mountain and it has paid over $1,000,000 in one year to its stockholders. Addison, Lincoln, Lucky, son of the same vein is located in the C. & C. Consolidated, with a rich body of ore that will net from $40 to $150 per ton. Within the next year this mine should be the largest producer and most profitable of any in the camp. A small amount of money invested in it now will make you wealthy in a short time. For the next 30 days you can buy some of its treasury stock at 50 per share, fully paid and non-assessable; it is being sold to equip the mine with heavier machinery than that now in Don't fail to get some of this stock at this price.

A Senate joint resolution was adopted last week authorizing the Secretary of War to supply a condemned cannon for a life size statue of General-Henry Leavenworth at Leavenworth, Kas. The Bowersock bill providing for the holding of terms of the circuit and district courts of the United States of Kansas City, Kas., and for other purposes, has been reported favorably to the senate. That new divorce bill before the Kansas house has much to say about the respective rights of husbands and wives. But it is voiceless on the issue raised by a Horton preacher the other day when he spanked his wife with a board. One member of the legislature in one day last week asked one railroad attorney in Topeka for twenty-seven two passes, and got them. They were for a total of 14,570 miles, and if paid for at regular rates would have amounted to $437.10. In order to get all the old Price paid claims in shape so that the state can determine what to do with them, Senator Porter introduced a bill providing for the appointment of a commissioner to investigate the claims and file a report with the legislature two years hence. Discussion on ex-Governor Stanley's "reward" has been renewed. It is proposed to make him a federal judge, which revives the old plan of dividing the state into two federal judicial districts. A federal judgeship is a life job, and the most desirable place on the political calendar. There are 138 employees about the Kansas senate. Presuming that each is paid $3 a day, each of the forty senators commands patronage to the amount of $10.35 a day. The senator himself is a $3 man. Therefore each senator is costing the state $13.35 a day. And some of them are cheap at half the price. The senate and the house differed on the question of the amount of postage necessary to send out Secretary Colburn's agricultural reports. The senate gave him $4,300 and the house cut it to $2,300. The senate refused to concur, and the house, refusing to recede, the bill was sent to a conference committee. A section hand working in Wallace county was killed by a train the other day. It was found that he had $2,050 on his person. It represented his saved earnings during sixteen years of working at the poorest paid job on a railroad.

James Uhl, who lived fifteen miles west of Leavenworth near Jarbalo, hanged himself in the barn of his grandmother, Mrs. Phoebe Porter last week. Uhl was 21 years old. He has been very dispondent and seemed to be disement. The farmers living near refused to touch the body until the coroner arrived from the city and ordered it taken down. Including Chester I. Long, Kansas has had fifteen United States senators. James H. Lane and Samuel C. Pomeroy were the first two. The successors of Lane have been Edward Ross, Robert Crozier, Alexander Caldwell, James H. Harvey, Preston B. Plumb, Bishop W. Perkins, John Martin, Lucien Baker and J. K. Burton. Pomeroy's successors have been John J. Ingalls, William A. Peffer, William A. Harris and Chester I. Long. W. E. Richey, of Harveyville, one of the directors of the State Historical Society, was in the southern part of Geary county last week to investigate the prehistoric camp that was unearthed near Skiddy two weeks ago. He secured several of the articles found in the old camp that was about eight feet underground, and expressed the belief that they were left at that place by members of Coronado's little army that is supposed have made an expedition into this part of the country in 1541. Last week Sheffield Roadhouse discovered that Charles Parmenter, a notorious character, who was to be tried in a few days for murder, was making a desperate effort to break jail. He had saved two steel bars of his cell almost through, and had filled the spaces with soap to avoid detection. Three saws were found in Parmenter's socks, and two more and a large screwdriver were found in his cell. Boitzmian, on trial for murder, gave the sheriff the information that led to the discovery. Parmenter has been placed in close confinement. LITTLE VILLAGE OF CARPINETO; WHERE POPE LEO WAS BORN N this little village of Carpinope, Italy, Pope Leo XII, was born. There he passed his boyhood. Of this fact the people of Carpinope are constantly building. When county enter the village the first person you encounter will tell you of its distinction. Almost half a century has passed since the holy father looked upon the village, and he will never see it again. But his thoughts are ever turned toward it. How this wonderful man, who was born when the past century was in its waddling clothes, finds time to devote so much attention to his birthplace is beyond the comprehension of those who are familiar with the vast amount of work he performs. All of Carpinope knows about the people. All of them are of him, and men of 70 tell tales which were handed down to them by their fathers and mothers. Among all the millions of people the world over who give love and reverence to the holy father none enthrone him so high in their hearts as the 700 families in Carpinoet. One can learn more about the personality of the man in the place of his birth than in the Vatican, yet few persons visit Carpinoet. It is only a few hours' journey by rail from Rome to Montenegro; each bank built little stage drawn by four mules and guarded by two carabiners armed with rifle, sword, revolver, and stiletto. The Italian government doesn't care to have a foreigner abducted by banditti if it can be avoided. The road leads straight up and around the mountains for miles, and the cooked rifles and the sharp outlook maintained by the guard would indicate that the precautions are not merely a matter of form. But for an hour two one will not see a hut or habitation and more than likely not a human son. Suddenly, at a turning in the road, the driver points out a great country house, which he calls the Pecchi casino, and below it is "Carpineto, the birthplace of our holy father." The village was founded more than ten centuries ago by the warlike Vosol, the robber knights of the middle ages. These earliest settlers had to hew into the solid rock in order to build their houses, and at this day the total number of them is not more than 500. One goes on foot through a stony back lane known as the Corso to the first home of Leo XIII, called, like every nobleman's home in Italy, a palace. It looks, to American eyes, more like a fort than a stately residence. The house is a large building, with modest balcony in front. The lower row of windows is not more than four and one-half feet high and is guarded by iron gratings. It was in this house that the holy father passed his childhood. Although the Peccles were nobles they were poor, and one may see the room where the holy father's mother kept the silk worms which furnished the money for his education and that of his brother, the late cardinal, which was the foundation for their success. Everywhere one hears stories about him, he has a true son of the mountains, and it is said that no one in Carpino could equal him in mountain climbing. Father Salvagni is the only surviving schoolmate of the pope in Carpino. He is a small, thicket man, who says he is at least 90 years old, and who is still proud of his muscle, even boasting of it like a youth in the first fush of manhood. "Ser Nino Leo was the most courageous mountain climber I ever saw," said Father Salvagni, and we have long been famous for our skill in mountaineering in this part of the country. He was the best man in these mountains. So great was his skill with the rifle that he disdained to shoot a bird except on the wing. "But study ruined his marksmanship. It is a great pity. I was ashamed of him the last time he visited us, in September, 1857. With other huntsmen I had gone out on the road near Montelanico to meet him. He recognized me in the throng, and begged me to lend him my rifle. I handed the weapon to him. He aimed at a bird and hit a tree. It cut me to the heart. He, the best rifleman in the mountains, to miss an easy shot. He never used a gun again. I suppose he felt the disgrace too keenly. He left us on Nov. 2 of that same year, never to return. He said with the baby father was always called "Nino" and Father Salvagni so called him in speaking of their boyhood days. He walked over the grounds where he and the pope used to hunt. "There," he said, pointing to a grotto; "there we used to lie in ambush for rabbits more than seventy-five years ago." The grotto is near the Celle Oreclec, or Hill of Ears. The name was given to it back in the middle ages, because it was on this bill that the men of Carpinope cut off the ears of prisoners from the town of Bassiano. Twenty years late those of Bassiano had their revenge, for they captured many of the hill not only cut off their ears, but their noses as well. In the Pecci palace there stands in a corner of an upper room a flint lock with an excessively long barrel, while all about are the uniforms and costumes of the male Peccis, most of whom were in the service of the vatican as courtiers, councillors, jurists, prelates, or military officers, and the fishermen and capital officers, councillors, and capital officers, gloves, and slippers belonging to the holy father, as well as the first white cassock he wore when he became none. It was with this riffe that the future pope won his fame as a marksman, and that its possession meant much to him in those days of poverty is indicated by a letter, carefully prepared, which shows how he came by it. Freely translated, it reads: "Dear Brother Titta: My friend, Prelate, I offer to let me have his gun cheap, for 9 scudi; I pick 16 for it. Think of some means to obtain the money for me. This is an opportunity which comes only once in a lifetime. Your loving brother. NINO." In a gathering of leading citizens who had known the pope, the youngest, who was over 70, told a story that his mother had told him. "My family used to be serfs of the Peccis," he said, "and one day my mother brought the tax, consisting of cream and cheese. Nino, as the holy father was always careful, took a taste of the cream that he fell in his mad haste. When my mother picked up him she addressed him with a phrase much heard in Carpino: "Anything else wanted, brother?" "A mere brother in my own cloister!" cried Nino. "Cardinal," said my mother, ironically. "I want to be pope," cried Nino, stamping his feet. "Only one was the holy father ever Convicts in the state penitentiary already mine coal and make binding twine, and it is proposed to make them build roads and manufacture brooms and other things. Representative Jackson, of Kansas, presented to the house the resolution recently adopted by the Kansas legislature petitioning congress to name one of the new battleships recommended by Mr. Roosevelt, the "Kansas." While Henry Weithorn, a prominent farmer living northwest of Seneca, was carrying a post behind one of his horses, the animal became frightened and kicked at the post, one end of which pierced Weithorn's side. From the effects of this he died. The Orient railroad has won a valuable recruit in Frank Grimes, who has been appointed its Kansas reprepeka. Mr. Grimes is a clever politician, and his excellent record as state treasurer during the last four years is proof that he is a good business man. Benjamin Knott, a man about 70 years old, was found dead in his room at Bird City. The coroner found that he had been murdered with some blunt instrument. He had sold his farm a few days before and had received $300 in part payment. He had $90 when found. Of all the vagaries concocted in the mind of an insane person, that of a farmer in Osborne county is the strangest. He thinks he is on a railroad train bound for heaven, and that his dog, Ring, is the conductor. He beseches his friends to get aboard before Ring pulls out and leaves them. B. P. Waggener has withdrawn his resolution to place a bust of John J. Ingalls in a niche of the rotunda of the national capitol. The ancient enemies of the late ex-senator served notice on Waggener that they were preparing to fight the measure, and rather than have a row Mr. Waggener decided not to press it. The case against Mrs. Henry Lowry at Wellington charged with complicity in the murder of her infant son, was dismissed by the county attorney. Henry Lowry, who was found guilty of administering morphine to the child is now serving a sentence of twenty-five years in the penitentiary. The child was not Lowry's. Senator Smith has introduced a bill providing for an indeterminate sentence for prisoners convicted of a felony. The bill gives the court the right to sentence prisoners to prison for an indefinite time. The present board is given authority to release when in its opinion the convict has served long enough. J. M. Blackwell, a well-to-do Lyon county farmer, was adjudged insane in the Lyon county probate court. He is 46 years old and has a wife and nine children. His insanity is due to worry over his corn crop. He has 100 acres of corn not yet gathered and threatened to kill anyone who gathered it before corn raised to 50 cents a bushel. Sometimes it is on the "side" products of the farm that Kansas farmers make the most money. Last summer Will Keller, near McLouth, in Jefferson county, planted twenty-eight acres in sorghum. From the crop he sold 3,500 gallons of syrup at 20 cents a gallon and 1,025 bushels of seed at 70 cents a bushel. The net return from both was $1,417.50. The largest cash bond ever put up in Kansas in a criminal case was filed with the district clerk of Smith county. Albert Jordan and his wife were arrested some days ago, charged with beating an adopted son to death. They were farmers. Nobody would go on their bond, which was fixed at $18,000. They put up the cold cash and were released. Jordon said he could have put up a $150,000 cash bond if it was required. Thomas Lawson, the millionaire horse breeder, has just announced the award of prizes in his contest for the best named trotting horses registered during the year 1902. E. N. Thomas, of Colony, Kas., was awarded a special prize for the name Aurelette, chestnut mare, sire Aurelian, dam Palizette. Mr. Lawson gives as his reason for the award: "Combination of Aurelian, the sire, and Palizetti, the dam, seemed very appropriate." The State Society of Labor has concluded its annual meeting. These officers were elected for the coming year: President, George Brandon, Leavenworth; vice president, J. H. Campbell, Wichita; secretary, W. L. A. Johnson, Topeka; assistant secretary, W. D. Robinson, Pittsburg. By virtue of their offices Johnson is made state labor commissioner and Robinson assistant state labor commissioner. A peculiar situation has come to light in Jewell county, where R. R. Skelks has held the offices of county commissioner and member of the council of the city of Burr Oak for the last year. The constitution provides that a county commissioner shall hold no municipal office, but this was not discovered by the residents of the county until Mr. Skelks had served a year. There is now a probability that the acts of the board of commissioners for the last year are illegal and Representative Bevington of that county has introduced a bill in the house legalizing them. N this little village of Carpini, Italy, Pope Leo XII, was born. There he passed his boyhood. Of this fact the people of Carpini are constantly boasting. When you enter the village the first person you encounter will distinction. beaten. That was when he was 12 years old. He and his brother, who was a year older, were so much excited when their mother, the Countess Anna, was taken away by his brigands that they went forth to have a view of the robbers. In those days the banditti were picturesque-looking creatures, wearing velvet coats and trousers, with silver buttons, red shirts, and hand handkerchiefs, and carrying many things. They were the youngsters in just time, and then he thrashed them with much vigor. To this day there is nothing the holy father loves better than to recall his youth in Carpinope. Notwithstanding the years that have passed since he was in his native village, he keeps close track of everything that goes on there, and he is always in the church in Carpinope, took to Rome members of eight or nine families, that the holy father might bless them in passing. They were boys and girls just confirmed. Leo stood still before the group, and, calling up one after another, he said: "Are you not old Peppo's son or grandson? And you; are you not Sabina's daughter? And you must be recognizing the family of each, recognizing the traits and characteristics, and he made not a single mistake. Nothing is more eloquent of the pope's love for his native village than the vast sums he has already expended for its regeneration, and the work is still going on. The works are under the care of Monslore Adami, whom he has appointed papal protector for Carpino. The most important is the new waterworks, which will give an abundant and sorely needed supply. For the holy father was cheated when he had the first waterworks built. The supply falls during a part of the year, complying with the new jug for a jug of drinking water. The waterworks which include artificial lakes, reservoirs, and a conduit hewn partly through the esclad rock, will give an ample supply for Carpinto and the neighboring villages as well. The pope has already established an old people's home, which he maintains. It is a large, lofty building. The pope also built and maintains the Pecci hospital, which is under the care of the French Sisters of the Holy Sacrament. It has a hundred beds, which seem too many for a town of 700 families, but those who benefit from it take care of the poor. The Pecci pope is having built two additional common schools, an agricultural academy, and a school for artisans and tradespeople. He pays for everything, buildings, furnishing, apparatus, and teachers. More than that, he provides breakfast for the scholars, because he knows how meager is the fare they have. The holy father has also rebuilt and refurbished the church of St. John and the basilica of St. Jacob, which had been almost entirely destroyed. He has also built a third church, called the Collegiate church, and he gave a considerable sum to the church of St. Francis. Of the most interesting places in Carpino will be the Leo museum, which will be in the Pecci palace and where all the relics of the family and the pope will be shown. A WESTERN WOLF DRIVE. It Casts a Drag Net Over Twenty Square Miles of Territory. Everything is big out here—the men, theranches, the aspects of the earth itself, says the Wahoo (Neb.) correspondent of the Buffalo Express, Hunting is big like the rest. It has a breadth that astonishes the Easterner. And, like everything else in the West, sport out here has its practical side. Wolves and wildcats kill the cattle, and so the men hunt them as a means of getting rid of them. The average wolf drive takes in 20 square miles. Four captains take charge, each on one side of the big square. They set their men in motion at 9:30 o'clock in the morning, and all the hunters simultaneously begin to award the hunters. As the hunters drive along in front of them all the animals and birds in the square. The hounds were let loose in the center and drive the wolves to the sides, where they are shot down. Only gunshots are used in the wolf drives. The closing scene is usually a large hay field, where the game has small chance to hide or escape. The men go to the hunt in rigs and after the battle you can see the wagons roll along back home, carrying men and game. BOUDOIR IRONING SETS Outfits for Ironing Small Articles Have Place in Many Rooms. Nothing is more useful for the woman who irons her own dalyty collars and ribbon and laces than an outfit in her own room all ready for the purpose. One of the little bosom boards, canton-fannel lined and covered with white muslin, is a convenient size. Then there is a little steel flatiron that, considering its size, will do a surprising amount of work and hold the heat a remarkably long time. With it comes a little iron rest. The cost of both is 18 cents. At an adjoining counter there is an asbestos holder that will insure its user against burns and blisters. bag to bag to hold the burns of flowered chinis a little larger than the board. At the rounded end there should be a flap to button securely over the front and a strap by which to hang it. A couple of pockets in the front for flatiron, holder, wax, and rest will complete it. The edges may be bound with braid—Chicago Inter Ocean. The kaiser's recent speeches against the Socialists have, remarks the Berlin correspondent of the London Morning Leader, not only been hung up in most of the great workshops of the country, but are being distributed in pamphlet form among the soldiers. A meeting of 1,600 metal workers, among them being from 700 to 800 employees of Kupp's Gruson works, assembled at Magdeburg on Sunday, to protest against action of certain masters made their men sign an address to the kaiser contrary to the dictates of their conscience. In many cases it was merely a question of signing or being dismissed at a time when it was practically impossible to obtain other employment. Some of the greatest American financiers never became members of a stock exchange. J. Pierpoint Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, James R. Keene and John W.

Gates does the institution named, though doubtless all the man mentioned would pass muster should they make the attendant. A LAND OF VOLCANOES TRAGEDIES IN GUATEMALA FROM VOLCANIC CAUSES. Republic Has an Area of Only 50,000 Square Miles, With More Than Thirty Volcanoes. The recent volcanic disturbances in Guatemala recalls some interesting history in connection with volcanic disturbances in that republic—history which rivals the most dramatic and tragic inventions of the brain of the novelist and outrivals the conceptions of the most inventive playwright. There are in the little republic of Guatemala with an area of but 50,000 square miles, more than 30 volcanoes, the most remarkable of which volcanoes of Tacana and Tajumilco in San Marcos, Zunil, Santa Tomas, Santa Clara, Santa Maria (11,374 feet high), Quetzaltenango (10,104 feet high), Atlantan, San Pedro, Agua (12,197 feet high), Fuego (13,487 feet high, Pacay (8,287 feet high), and Acatenango, in the department of Chimatenango, which towers over all the others, having an altitude of 1,000 feet and Fuego (fire) are twin peaks, and it was upon the breast of these dormant monsters that the ancient capital of the republic rested. it will be remembered that the conquest of Guatemala was accomplished by that talented but cruel adventurer, Alvarado. Leaving Mexico on the 6th of December, 1523, with 300 infantry, 120 cavalry, four cannon, several hundred Medieval armies, and many slaves to transport the barge, he marched through the country, conquering all who opposed him, burning at the stake kings, and incinerating their towns, until, on July 25, 1524, the last foe had been subdued, and he proclaimed the sovereignty of the king of Spain to Guatemala and established his capital at Guatemala, giving it the name of "The City of St. James, the Gentleman." After the work of the improvement of his capital city was well under way, Alvarado returned to Mexico and thence to Spain, where he was loaded with honors, was made governor adelantado and captain general of Guatemala, and to himself a wife in the person of Don Juan, the son of one of the most influential families of Spain, and a woman as ambitious as was Alvarado himself. Upon their return to Guatemala, they found things in a prospering condition, and Alvarado set out to win new laurels in the field of conquest. In 1541, while in Mexico, he heard of the fabled "Seven Cities of Cibola," and was planning to go northward in search of them, when he met with the accident which cost him his life. When the news of his death reached the widow, she summoned the alcaldes and regidores to the city, where she met Governoradora. Then extensive were made for a most spectacular ceremony. In memory of her late husband It was then that one of the sleeping volcanoes awoke and made for itself the first authentic history we have of disturbances of that nature in Guatemala. It also produced a most dramatic situation during the ostentatious ceremonies of the ambitious woman governor of the province. It was the evening of Sept. 8, 1541, and the obsequies were in progress, when the air became thick and heavy, and dense clouds gathered above the city, from which came the voice of thunders and frenzies and blinding fury of chiding. Suddenly the earth began to heave and shake with terrible convulsions, a shower of rocks, sand, sticks and debris rained down upon the city, and the panic-stricken populace fled to the churches and chapels, hoping there to receive protection at the hands of the God they pretended to serve. Then came the crowning disaster. The great mountain vomited forth—not fire, smoke, lava and ashes, as a well-regulated volcano is supposed to do, but an avalanche of water, which tore down the mountains of fire deep, and bearing the earth and trees and rock before it, it dashed into the city, obliterating the streets, tearing down adifices and crushing and drowning hundreds of persons. Dona Beatrice, when the first convulsions shook the city, forgot her ambitions and forsook the pomp and gorgeness of the palace and fled to the chapel near by, where, clinging to the wall, she was crushed beneath the crumbling walls. The total loss of life was placed at 1,600. Not so picturesque in its details, but many times more disastrous, was the second destruction of the capital, which was removed, after the first disaster, to a point about three miles to the east of the former site, at Antigua. Now of the former site, at Antigua, the city had attained a population of 80,000 souls and a grandeur second to none of the cities of the New World, Fuego, twin to the volcano which wrecked the first capital, and which received the name of Agua because of the nature of its eruption, began to belch forth fire, and the earth shook and trembled. A thousandfold more violently than it had at the time of the eruption of Agua. The great city crumbled beneath the tremblings of the earth like so much dust, and thousands upon thousands of her inhabitants were killed. A very small percentage of the population escaped. The dead were never counted or buried, except as they were buried beneath the debris of the ruined city; the wound of the city was not caused by their injuries or also died from thirst and hunger. The city was abandoned, never to be rebuilt, and today, 129 years afterward, the ruins lie almost unchanged, to tell the tale of the terrible catrophe. From the tower of the old cathedral may be counted the ruins of 45 churches. The general scene of desolation reminds one of the ruins of the Old World, and one feels like exclaiming, in the words of Kipling: "Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! The demise of the city, such as only the Spanish of that day were capable of producing. Half a hundred churches, each with its convent and monastery, gorgeous palaces, the most celebrated university on this continent, the seat of the Inquisition—all went, almost in an instant. The present capital, Guatemala la Nueva, was founded shortly after this disaster, 30 miles to the eastward of the ruined one, where it has since stood unmolested till the recent disturbances.—Los Angeles Times. The kalser has undertaken the patronage of the great international music festival to be held at Berlin shortly in conjunction with the unveiling of the Wagner monument.

"Who won in that contest?" asked the friend, "Well," answered Senator Sorghum, "it's hard to say, I had my own way, but I spent so much more money than he did that, strictly speaking he's ahead on the deal."—Washington Star.

It is not generally known that about twenty years ago Lord Milner, Schriener, and Steyn were embryo lawyers in London, struggling to obtain a footing in the law. Those days they used to dine together frequently. The position of each of these young law students is now too well established to need much comment. Milner now rules the Transvaal colony, Schriener is the former premier of Cape Colony, and Steyn the former president of the Orange River colony. It is estimated that eight or ten thousand hunters from other states visited Mine during the hunting season, each of whom paid $2 or $3 a day to the licensed guides. The law compels persons from without the state to employ these guides, the object being the protection of game from reckless slaughter, and, incidentally, to bring money into the state. Including the guide fees, hotel bills, camp rentals and railroad fares, the hunters left probably a million dollars there. Poor Man's Chance. It is being said in many Eastern journals and not a few Western ones that the day of the poor man in mining is gone by; that no one but a big corporation can succeed in mining any more; that it takes big capital to do anything; that most of the good mining propositions are controlled by trusts or millionaires and that there is no longer opportunity for a man with a little money. This is all a mistake. The day of the "poor" mining man was never brighter nor greater than right now. The assertion that most of the good mines are owned by trusts or millionaires is heard most often, but there is least in that of any of the pessimistic utterances. One hears of the big millionaire owners more than he does of the thousands of substantial companies that go right on with little notoriously, paying good wages and monthly yielding dividends. Finally, it may be justly said in answer to the assertion that opportunity no longer exists for the man with a little money, that never in the world's history were there fuer opportunities in mining for the man with a little money than in the west half of America today.
