Douglass School located at 27 and West Prospect Plce was first opened in 1886. R. W. Foster took charge of this school in Sept. 1887. At that time the school was in one room house, known as the Saunders house school, 14 pupils enrolled. The present location was purchased and a faur room house tras erected in 1890. The school grew so rapid that in 1899 it became necessary to purchase more ground on an acidition of four class rooms and a carpenter shop was built. The enrollment has reached about 400.

In this terse sentence "Fra Elbostus" has expressed an opinion concerning one person which has been entertained by nearly every one, of many. Perhaps your thought was never before crystalized into words like these, but you have had the thought, just the name. For instance, you have heard the blustering bully boasting of his bravery, and then when the test of his courage came, you have seen him eringe in covardy fear. "His life gave the lie to his logic." Again, you have heard the column prayer, "Forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us," foll from the lips of one in whose breast you unleashed bitterest hatred. "His life gave the lie to his logic." Or, you have heard the skeptic ridicule prayer, and then you have heard him call justly upon the Lord in an hour of sadness calamity. "His life gave the lie to his logic." A father gives his counsel to his boy and then in the presence of that boy preaches the very things counsels against. "His life gives the lie to his logic." And so might a multiplied illustrations of this Rocrofter truth—Marion Record. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FRIDAY MORNING. STAND UP FOR THE FLAG. It must not trail. Let every son that be.

The bicycle has demonstrated its ability in still another direction. A Washingtonville woman along the dudson met a thief coming out of her house, but not suspecting his character allowed him to go. Finding, however that she had been robbed, she followed him on her wheel and soon succeeded in overtaking him. She recovered property enough to pay for the bicycle.

Old Idea of Youth's Cardlessness Has No Foundation. Youth takes itself with the same odourness which belongs to age in a time of less knowledge; and one of the greatest proofs of a more complete memory by the world of the art of living is the wish and ability to be careless, say Sorrbert's. The one who is learning to dance counts the step, and that is what age has ceased to do; while she had charges of the turtle. Arrested Sites A recent German invention is armored glass, or glass cast with wire gauze incised in their substance, so as to increase the resistance to pressure shock, and the effects of heat. Tests of the new material have been made at the Chemnitzer technological museum which show that the armored glass is much stronger, and where the ordinary glass broke under sudden applications of pressure the strengthened material only cracks, and the cracks caused by changes of temperature did not allow either damage or failure to pass. He took the job. A characteristic story is told of Abe Gruber, the well-known New York lawyer. When he was a boy looking for something to do he saw the sign, "Boy Wanted," hanging outside a store in New York. He picked up the sign and entered the store. The proprietor met him. "What did you bring that sign in here for?" asked the storekeeper. "You won't need it any more," said Gruber, cheerfully. "I'm going to take a job." Mr. Le Gallenne writes of Nature as a lover, but his poemle fancy does not disguise from us that he was bred in cities. In his chapter on what Nature brings to beautify the graves of the little dead, he writes: "The wwen will sometimes bring her sky-blue eggs for a gift." Perhaps a wren may be permitted to do this sort of thing in a "tragic fairy tale;" in every-day life she would have to purchase them from a commercially minded hedge-sparrow, for her own eggs are a pearly white, with reddish brown snails. In any memorial concerning Mr. Dick it is impossible to keep out some mention of Mr. Richard Le Gailleenne's hair. Two literary friends of his were recently speaking of the disproportionate amount of adverse criticism he occasionally received. One said: 'His work is often excellent; he is "slated" because of the length of his hair. And yet that helped him at first.' "Ah," said the other, "it began as a boom and ended as a boomage." Bezant's Autobiography. Sir Walter Besant's autobiography was announced for publication in February, and excited more widespread interest than any recent volume of the sort. Sir Walter was not a man of great genius, but he had hosts of admiring readers, and he knew everybody. However, his personality was of an exceptionally amiable and agreeable sort. Altogether his life should be excellent reading. Relatives Meet for First Time Archibald Bard Darragh is a congress man from Michigan and Thomas Robert Bard is a senator from California. They never met until they were introduced to each other recently in Washington. Yet the two men had the same, great grandfather, Richard Bard, whose experience during the, French and English war of 1756-1760 was as thrilling as any romance. Shocking Tragedy in France A sensational crime has just been discovered at St. Ettienne, France. A pastry cook named Tentale, after a quammal with his wife, due to jealousy, shot he her body with a revolver. He thrust her body into the oven and ligated a large fire, afterwards committing suicide. Only the calcined remains of a woman were found in the THE HAPPY DAYS OF AGE. Old Idea of Youth's Carelessness Has No Foundation. Youth takes itself with the same sense of selfness which belongs to age in a time of less knowledge; and one of the greatest proofs of a more complete memory by the world of the art of living is the wish and ability to be careless, sort Scribbler's. The one who is learning to dance counts the step, and the what age has ceased to do; while youth is still whispering "one, two, three," most seduously to itself. --- It is asserted by the defender of "trusts" that in almost every instance the formation of a trust has been followed by a decrease in the price of the product. This is true; but in most instances trusts have been formed to check the downward tendency of prices by interfering with the operation of the law of supply and demand. Probably there is no conspicuous instance of lower prices following the organization of a trust, in which the prices to the consumer would not have fallen still lower if the trust had not been formed. The greatest objection to trusts is that they are wrong in principle, in that they interfere with a fundamental law of trade. Only persons under thirty years of age were ready to accept prompt Harvey's greet discovery of the circulation of the flood; and just as youth is most apt to respond to the touch of gentleness so men rarely abilities seldom fall of the spirit of perpetual youth. Keeping young is simply keeping abreast with the times we are in. At the recent anniversary in New York City of the founding of Stevens Institute, ex-Mayor Hewitt related this incident: "What I was a student at Columbia, base ball was our only game, and not such a detiment to a college as it is to-day. We lost most of our balls by knocking them over into a yard of a house in Barclay street. One day when we were short and could not any base balls, I was appointed a committee of one to visit the house and ask for some. A gentleman appear I in answer to my question, and producing a basket containing twenty-five or thirty balls, asked if they were ours. I said that I supposed they were. "Every one of them has broken a window in my house," he reclaimed. "You may take them, and when you have all the boxes in my music collection, you have in Hoboken."

BUZER MARRIAGE PROPOSALS Mon Declare their Love Under Strange and Strenuous Conditions. The most unique proposal on record is probably that of a young Englishman to a girl seawhat above him on the social scale. Last summer the two accidentally came together at the same seaside boarding-house. They had previously met as friends, but the young follow had never presumed upon a closer acquaintancehip. One day, while at the boarding-house, she asked him to join a party who were going for a day's yachting excursion, and he, of course, readily consented, while the merriment was at its height the girl accidentally fell into the sea. Immediately persevering what had happened, her admirer sprang overboard and was successful in reaching her and keeping her adroit. He was an indifferent swimmer, however, and as the night was very dark, both were in danger of drowning before the yacht's boat could reach them. This was evidently what the young fellow felt and belge apparently determined that he should, in any case, know of his accident, in spite of the strangeness of their position, quickly declared his passion. The girl, however, much exhausted and frightened, made no reply, much to the disappointment of the young fellow, who concluded that she was unconscious. Ultimately the two were picked up by the boat and brought safely on board the ship itself, and the party reached higher altitude any further mishap. Next day the girl took the first opportunity of thanking the young fellow in private for saving her life, and judge of his great surprise when she simply remarked that his proposal at sea to say the proust may propose. Needless to say the proust may hope from this hiatus, and did not hesitate to propose in the orthodox manner, this time receiving a favorable reply. Not so happy an ending is attached to the story of a proposal made under somewhat similar conditions to the above by a young German, who was a passenger on the ill-fated Elbe, wrecked off Lowestow in 1895. While on board he conceived a great affection for a certain young lady, but hesitated to speak to her on the matter. When he heard a life-buoy for the girl, and by its aid managed to keep her afloat after the ship had foundered. Although it was an extraordinary place and time for him to declare his affection, the young fellow, doubtless with his mind on future possibilities, proposed while both were struggling in the sea, and to his great delight learned that his love was returned. But his joy was quickly turned to gret, for loved them, and although he himself was picked up by a boat, he never saw his sweetheart again. It would require more than an average amount of nerve and coolness on the part of any man to propose to a girl when both were in danger of being burnt to death. A particular feature, however, regarding a fireman's wedding which took place in the Midlands a short time ago, made that he be given a bride little crying to come her from a nursing house. The fire occurred during the night at a country residence at which the young lady was employed as housemaid. At the commencement of the conflagration no one noticed that she was missilag. But when the house was well ablaze the girl suddenly appeared at one of the top windows, having been aroused from her sleep by the smoke. The local brigade not being provided with a firecrosse, her death seemed abject. She quickly darted into the house and at great risk managed to reach her room. But as he did so the stairs behind him collapsed and thus cut off their only apparent means of escape. Doubtless it was the hopelessness of their position and the fear that his love would never be known which led the fireman to propose there and then an thus surrounded by flames and smoke, the two plighted their troth. Fortunately, a long ladder had in the meantime been placed under the fireman and after moments of great excitement the two were rescued trust in the nick of time. The rarity of prison proposals makes the following instance of Cupid's strange doing particularly interesting. A short time ago a clever and notorious French swindler named Gorton was sentenced in Paris to a long term of imprisonment. While his trial was still proceeding Borland applied for permission to marry his friend and accomplice, Berthe Daguneau, if she would accept him for a husband. The magistrate thereupon sent for the young woman and laid Gortand's proposal before her. She then confessed that she loved the happiest day in her life if Gortand would marry her. The result of this unique proposal was that the two were married at the local mayor's office with four policemen as witnesses. A French agronaut some time ago brought himself into unenviable prominence, by taking a girl up in a balloon in order to propose marriage to her. She had often expressed a wish to make a balloon ascent, and accordingly he had little difficulty in persuading her to make a trip with him. Taking advantage of the opportunity tamed afferred him, the aeronaut, after reaching a certain height, declared the action in passionate address that he refusal to his suit would cause him to commit suicide by throwing himself out of the balloon car. Greatly terrified, the girl accepted his proposal.—New York World.

It claims all kinds of records and from the figures of the industry it deserves recognition. Pie making and pie-eating, for big pie and little pies, for thin pies and thick pies, for light-pies and heavy pies, it is likely to enter the arena against an city in the Union, barring news. Three factories alone turn out 385,600 pies every year, but this is only small portion of the city's pie industry. The 40,000 inhabitants consume about 3,800 pies daily, or over 1,000,000 per year. If laid in a straight line, for edgery, they would make a pie blick path from Boston to Chicago. At 1 cent's each, and they are worth more than, Brockton consumes a worth of pie per citizen each year. The champion pie-maker of the town is a boarding house keeper, Mrs. V. V. King, of 475 Montclair street, a ter- in-law of W. L. Douglas, the im- itationaire shoe manufacturer. Her cord last year was 4,625 pies, or about 31 pies a day for every day in the year. The holder of second place in the pie-making industry is another boarding house keeper, Mrs. Margaret Caskin proprietress of the Empire house, who has 2,840 pies to her credit. The proof of the wholesomeness of pie as an article of dist is in the ing, and Mrs. Caskin points proudly boarders that have been with her 19 years and have never had a dail- sickness from indigestion.—Quinn World.

Superintendent with a Pondle—He Was taught to Read. "Have animal reason?" was one of the questions raised by Lord Averybury in an interesting address given recently at the London institution. Already it was said that intelligent people, with whom Averybury experienced, some glimpses of the faculty which is said as separate men from beetles. Dan was able after a time to distinguish between the number of cards inscribed with such suggestive words as "Food," "Tea," "Water" and when he required anything to bring the right card. Lord Averybury thought it was hardly possible to study closely communities of ants without allowing that they are possessed of reasoning powers in some degree and even of moral feeling. On the other hand, says the London Chronicle, the processional caterpillar appears to be an insect of a very low degree of intelligence. Processional caterpillars turn out for an expedient weave a thread, by means of which they find their way back on a party was lured by an attractant tist up a flowerpot and round the top.

THE PROBLEMS OF THE FUTURE New York.—In a speech punctuated alternately by ringing cheers and chilling silence, Secretary of War Root, at the anniversary meeting of the Union League club, said that negro suffrage was a failure; that the growing divergence between the wealthy and the poor was finding a place in legislation, that every good citizen must set his face against the possibility of a war of classes, and thirdly, that the labor unions were setting a premium on slothfulness and stupidity. "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 regro 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 Chihuahua, Mexico, has been bought by the United Mining and Exploration company of Los Angeles.

The Cool Famine Is Ending. Reading, Pa.—Officials of the Reading railway announce that they have the coal situation well in hand and that danger of fuel famine is over. 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 suffrabe 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 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 Iroquois 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 Olney, 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 Brazil 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.

EW YORK Letter: The fashionable girl of spring will be a composite creature. She will be severe, but feminine; simple, but elegant; her gowns will reveal the most delightful color scheme. But at all times the pomp and elegance. Her individual tastes will find expression in her gowns and everything that she wears will emphasize her originality. gown is on the shirt-waist and skirt order, but made very simply and gracefully. Accompanying such a toilette 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 cover, beading of green in the last bird with wing feathers of this shad might be selected, but the blue and green is quite the most chic novelty of the day. N 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 of extravagance. Happily, dress which for many years raised a sharply accentuated dividing line between the rich and poor has today leavelled all class lines, and some of the most beautiful maidens keep the they are easily within the real of the woman with a limited dress allowance. For instance, among the smartest fabrics in which the newest shirt waistis appear are mercerized cotton, madras, chambray, batiste, linen, null, lawn an Nainook Raye, which, by the way, is no more or less than a linen-finished cotton fabric with a high-sounding collar. 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 popular in America, especially with slender, graceful women. The sleeves which appeals principally to women whose mornings are devoted to shopping is diversified this season by a few touches of color. An especially chic design is carried out in gobelin blue foulard embroidered in old rose and nile green silk. The blouse waists closes with an inverted box-plait and has two narrow plaits at the shoulders which intermingle graceful sleeves 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-yoke, which is made in one piece with the narrow front breadth of the skirt and supports three wide flourescences which are unlined, but given support by a drop skirt of gobelin blue taffeta. Still another shirt waist frock is made in a square shape and the skirt shirred around the top in simulation of a hip-yoke. The waist is a distinctive affair, being embroidered down the front with the Japanese alphabet in bright colored silks. 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 urtica mingled with sage green. The skirt of the new are but few combinations which do not include the lace, for like the touch of black, it tends character to a gown when other trimmings fail. 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 gowns with pinings of brown silk. A large 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. For something that is really smart and inexpensive nothing could be more satisfying than a gown in dark green velvet flecked with French gray. The As to Two Evils. 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. "Did 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 BARBER'S WORK GRATIS One of the largest barber "colleges" in New York is located in Canal street. The customers of this school of instruction present a heterogeneous picture. The aggregation is truly grotesque in appearance. Only the "way down" brother is barred from availing of this opportunity of having his face and head operated on. No fee is charged for shaving, hair cutting, singing, dyeing or shampooing. Even beard trimming is included in this free library. The students pay for tuition, and the management claims that more thor- gown is on the shirt-waist and skirt order, but made very simply and gracefully. Accompanying each a toilette 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 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. Jewel and is made with a peplim and bell sleeves. It has a rolling collar and revers of blue satin applipped 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 daintest confections of the season is the grey and white pannie which extends 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 acicular flare above the last button are cuffs of the suede embroidered in silk in raised designs. This necessitates the lifting of the belly and beard, the nose and butt as subdividers shown on the gloves are in the season's popular shades it is an easy matter to select fints 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, and a collar. The garments shops, though the majority are of the variety classed as transient. The varicolored slik 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 today which all energies are concentrated. A collarette really girlish in its attractiveness is of white satin and accented plaited from women. A neck cap below the stole of satin. Accompanying the collarette is a hat of white chiffon, finely shirred, with a cluster of velvet robes beneath the brim and close to the hair in front. MAUDE GRIFINF. 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. There is a fine view from the top. The city now receives an average of $10 weekly from the fees, which are applied to the general fund for the maintenance of parks and squares.

Experiments in the use of electricity as an anaesthetic 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 Dlonzae, or "Venus" fly trap. He deduced from his experiments a close analogy between the electrical responses of plants and animals in animals. This observation 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 a carrot the root is not injured or the root of the carrot or radish, a 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, as must be presumed to exist in 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 stimul which affect a nervous system. This view is founded on a misconception of life's constitution at large. Plants live because they contain proteins that are sensitive to light, 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 delicate threads of living matter run from cell to cell. Hence it may be pre-defined in the organism 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 postulate sensitiveness (accompanied by a wide range of warning signs 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 closes its petals under the influence of a cold wave on a summer's day we are surely in the region of sentient life, manifested by actions not far removed from those of the animal and plant life. 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 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 supper 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 apples we have—heard. So please 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 off in the rear seats, as in most summer congregations. He didn't 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 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 difficult to hear you unless one sat far up toward the front. So we brought everybody as near the pulpit as possible." But, "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. Dr. Sewell, who has announced his intention of resigning the office of warden of New college, has long ago been the dean of the heads of houses at Oxford, and the last survivor of the dons of the old school. He came up from Winchester as a scholar of New college in 1827, and has ever since been a member of that society and in constant residence. He has an intimate friend, Dr. Routh, the celebrated president of Magdalen college, who died in 1854, at the age of 100 years, and who had several times met Dr. Johnson during his frequent visits to Oxford.

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 increase 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 danger 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 aperient properties of the meat treated that the wholesaler was asked to look into the matter, and it was found that a careless raccor had sent epsom 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. 一. 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 immigrant land grants in Old Mexico are now with them, the Indians take 1,780,000 acres of land adjoining the Rio Grande river, in the state of Chihuahua and Ahuilla. The chiefs 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. Of the 12,398 German naval and military delinquents sentenced last year, forty-two were punished for duelling.

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 exclusive law, and who were released recently by the decision of the treasury department, were the first of the number for which the Chinese government under an imperial decree issued last year made provision to send to educational institutions in this country. The students are sent here at the expense of the Chinese government to take graduate courses, and upon their return to China those successful in aminations will be appointed to government positions.

Granton, Okla., Feb. 8th. After ten years E. H. Gosney of Granthan has last found a cure for Kidney Trouble. Mr. Gosney suffered very severely with Kidney Complaint and some ten 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 I 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.

The famous Lincoln Lucky mine is also on this mountain and it has paid over $1,000,000 in one year to its owners. Adjoining Lincoln Lucky, on same vein is located the C. & C.

A Senate joint resolution was adopted last week authorizing the Secretary and War to supply a condemned cannon for a life size statue of General Leavenworth at Leavenworth, Kas. The Bowersock bill providing for the holding of terms of the circuit and district courts of the United States at 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 latter 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 cup 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 and 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 "ward" 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 is the political calendar. There are 138 employees about the dassas senate. Presuming that each 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 all the price. The senate and the house differed in the question of the amount of postage necessary to send out Secretary John's agricultural reports. The senate gave him $4,300 and the house fit to $2,300. The senate refused a ponson, and the house, refusing to reside, the bill was sent to a conference committee. A section hand working in Wallace Army was killed by a train the other day. It was found that he had $2,050 his person. It represented his and earnings during sixteen years working at the poorest paid job on railroad. It seems to prove that a man can lay by something, no matter at his job may be. W. S. Commers, a brother of the places place by being thrown from a chair his pace by being thrown from a woodmill.

The sheriff, a trial for murder, the discovery. Parmenter has placed in close confinement. LITTLE VILLAGE OF CARPINETO; WHERE POPE LEO WAS BORN in this little village to pineto, Italy. Pope Leo XIII, the emperor, there he passed his boyhood. Of this fact the people of Carpino are constantly boasting. When you 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 swaddling 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 about the pope. All its stories 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 Carpineto. One can learn more about the personality of the man in the place of his birth than in the Vatican, yet few persons visit Carpineto. It is only a few hours' journey from Montalcino, where one takes a strongly built little stage drawn by four mules and guarded by two cababiniers armed with rifle, sword, revolver, and stillette. 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 cocked rifles and the sharp outlook maintained by the guard would indicate that the precaution would only a matter of time. But for an hour you will not see a bat or habitation, and more than likely not a human soul. Suddenly, at a turning in the road, the driver points out a great country house, which he calls the Pecel casino, and below it is "Carpinope, the birthplace of our holy father." The village was founded more than ten centuries ago by the warlike Volec, 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 560. One goes on foot through a stony back lane known as the Corso to the first home of Leo XII, called, like every nobleman's home in Italy, a paseo. It looks, to American eyes, more like a fort than a stately residence. The house is a mosaic of morifiori high, with a modest balcony in front. The lower row of windows is not more than four and one-half feet high and is guarded by iron graffits. It was in this house that the holy father passed his childhood. Although the Peccis 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. As a child he was a true son of the mountains, and it is said that no one could equal him in mountain climbing. Father Salvagni is the only surviving schoolmate of the pope in Carpinope. 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 flush of manhood. "Sir Nero 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, and we have been in these mountains. 80 great was his skill with the rife 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 Montel- lanico to meet him. He recognized me in the throng, and begged me to lend him my rifle, I handed the weapon to him. He almed 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. In his year in the holy father was always called Wing and Father Salvagnt 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 later, the men of revenge, for they captured many of the Carpinope fighters, and on this same 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 militia, the army, the counsellors, the priests, or military officers, and the bishops' and cardinals' robes, miters, crozlers, episcopal rings, gloves, and slippers belonging to the holy father, as well, as the first white caskock he wore when he became pope. It was with this rifle 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 him being fully prepared, which shows how he came by it. Freely translated, it reads: "Dear Brother Titta: My friend, Prelate Longyh, offers to let me have his gun cheap, for 9 scudi; he paid 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 knew the pope, the youngest who knew 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 called as a child, was so anxious to have a taste of the cream that he fell in his mad-haste. When my mother picked him up she addressed him with a phrase much heard in Carphio:: "Anything else was admitted, brother?" "A more brother in my own cloistet!" cried Nino. "Cardinal," said my mother, ironically. "I want to be pope," cried Nino, stumbling his feet." stamping his feet." Only once 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 Aurelean, chestnut mare, sire Aurelian, dam Pallizette. 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 commission- A peculiar situation has come to light in Jewell county, where R. R. Skelcs 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. Skelcs 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 Carpino, Italy, Pope Leo XII, was born. There he passed his boyhood. Of this fact the people of Carpino are constantly boasting. When you enter the village the first person you encounter will its 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 pushed to her very door by brigands, and he was taken into the view of the robbers. In those days the banditti were picturequee-looking creatures, wearing velvet coats and trousers, with silver buttons, red shirts, and head handkerchiefs, and carrying many knives and pistols. Their father rescued them, 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, not long since the rector of St. John's was a member of the members of eight or nine families, that the holy father might bless them in passing. They were boys and girls just confirmed. He stood still before the group, and, calling up one after another, he said: "Are you not old Peppo the son or grandson? And you; are you not Sabina's daughter? And you must belong to the Nargis. He went on, nam- 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 Adam, whom he has appointed papal protector for Carpinto. 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, compelling the people to walk miles for a jug of drinking water. The new works which include artificial lakes, reser- vation ponds, barns and party through the esold rock, will give an easy 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 bed, which seem too many for a town of 700 families, but those who benefit from it take in the pope. The 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 Carpineto 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 or one side of the big square, 300 dogs in 300 docks in the morning, and all the hunters simultaneously begin to push in toward the center. As they do they 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 dainty 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. A bag to hold it, a pair of floralized or flowered chinks 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 Kdupp's Gruson works, assembled at Magdeburg on Sunday to protest against the question of certain men in the 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. Pleerpont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, James R. Keene and John W. Gates are concerned in vast Wall street operations, but none of them is a member of the New York exchange. Probably nobody in the country scrutinizes appraisals of companies, does the institution named, though doubtless all the men mentioned would pass muster should they make the attempt. 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 two square miles, more than 30 feet square, the most remarkable of which are the volcanoes of Tacana and Tajumilco in San Marcos, Zunil, Santa Tomas, Santa Clara, Santa Maria, (11,374 feet high), Quetzaltenango (10,104 feet high), Attilan, San Pedro, Agua (12,197 feet high), Fuego (13,487 feet high, Pacay (8,257 feet high), and Acatenango, in the department of Chimatenango, which towers over all the others, having an altitude of 1,000 feet. Agua (water) 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, 130 cavalry, and seven hundred Mexican warriors, a number of slaves to transport the baggage, 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 over Guatemala and established his kingdom. Almorongo, 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 took to himself a wife in the person of Dona Beatrice de la Cueve, daughter of one of the most influential families of Spain, and a woman as ambitious as was Alvarado himself. As was Alvarado 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 Chola," 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 palace and proclaimed herself Gobernadora. Then extensive preparations were made to ensure her survival, in memory of her late husband. It was then that one of the sleeping volcanos 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 frequent and blinding flashings of lightning. Suddenly the earth began to crack with thunderstorms, a shower of rocks, sand, sticks and debris rained down upon the city, and the panic-striken populace fed 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 mountain side. Carving a channel hundreds of feet deep, and bearing the earth and trees and rock before it, it dazzled in the sun, and the water, searing 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 gorgeousness of the palace and fled to the chapel near by, where, clinging to the crucifix, she was crushed beneath the crumbling. The total loss of life was reached at 1,400. Not so pictureless 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 streets, tearing down edifices and the city's walls. More the city and attained a population of 60,000 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 with the violence of its retchings and a thousandfold more violently than it had at the time of the eruption of 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 wounded were never rescued, but perished of their injuries or else died from thirst, and the rest 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 demolished city was one of pomp and glory, such as only the Spanish of that day, who prevailed in the battle, capped 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.

It is not generally known that about twenty years ago Lord Milner, Schrrierer, 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, Schrrierer 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 Maine 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. 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 notoriety, 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.

Hackstead, a blacksmith living near Lallow, Ky. It weighs twenty-tour pounds and is only twenty-two inches tall. The colt was foaled on a farm near Fountain Park. Its owner considered it worth less and sent it to M. Hackstead. At birth it only weighed about two pounds, although it was perfectly formed. Since that time it has grown very slowly, and for the last two months there has been almost no change in its height and weight. If it stops growing now it is no doubt that it is the small horse of our world. The colt is perfectly healthy and is well formed and strong. Its dam was a musking pony of average size and its size was a good-sized horse. The cross should have produced a medium-sized horse. The colt is good-tempered, although very frisky. It has been taught to follow its master like a dog and is very attentive. The free fox has attracted much attention since it has been an exhibition.

The Value of a Fixed Plate One of the most notable examples of peculiar dietary customs is an American army officer of good physique, who, in several years of exacting service at an out-of-the-way Westport post, subsisted entirely on "caned peculiar." It was his custom to open cans at haplazard, a single can for each meal; whether the contents were fish, fowl or flesh, vegetables or fruit, he ate that and nothing more, and he lives to tell the tale. But he was always active, physically and mentally, except when asleep, and he breathed fresh air twenty-four hours of every day. Saturday. Wreathing Post.

Soon it came from the press it was based by a patrician family of Italy and it was in the archives of the family that Olschi discovered it. A Card's Novel Visiting Card. From the Ladies' Home Journal: The Devil tells a story of the late Czar Alexander III, that upon the rare occasion when it was incumbent upon him to pay a call he would take a gold coin bearing his "image and superstition" and twisting it between thumb and finger leave it in lion's hand—the only man in Russia who could strength for the feat. American Bottles the Best American bottles are preferred to all others for the export trade, and especially in warm climates where American and English goods come into close competition. American glass is said to stand tropical climates better than the English, the reason being that it is often appealed. The Tranvaal is the richest country in the world so far as minerals are concerned. In 1877 England annexed the Tranvaal, but evacuated it in 1881 in 1848 England conquered and and an nexed the Orange Free State, "it evacuated it six years later." GURES DIPLOMATIC AMBITION sulship Generally Sufficient. Undesirable consulships have long given rise to humorous incidents. But Zanzibar, to which the President has appointed Mason Mitchell, a rough rider, seems to be in the lead in unattractiveness, if the length of consular terms proves any test, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. Indiana has usually claimed the honor of furnishing candidates for this place, but after the resignation of a man named Rogers of Shoales, the Indiana senators notified the President that they were through with it. They had constituent who were willing to take chances, but the senators were not prepared to promise that these tuesome individuals would stay more than a month. Before Rogers took the place it was held for nearly a year by "bob" Mansfield, at one time private secretary to Valparaiso. Mansfield came back, according to Indians descriptions, "as thin as a toothpick and as yellow as June butter." He said he had stuck it out as long as the insurance company would let him and that he returned to save his premiums. Before Mansfield, there was an Indianian named Billheimer, described as a hinsky Hoosier, with a large nose and frame protruded in material. He was cursed of democratic ambition in about two months, and has never asked for a place since Before Billheimer, Judge Riley of Virginia served; he remained as long as his aversion to the negroes would permit. Finally, he is said to have taken a gun and emptied a load of fine birdshot into the dusky natives who persisted in taking a daily bath in front of the American consulate which, the Judge "allowed," was an indignity to be resented by this government's representative. HE LIKES FRIED POTATOES. Grand Duke Alexis Has a Favorite Club, So They Say. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is very fond of fried potatoes, and dur- ing his recent visit to Paris he was cost to buy a few every day from a woman in the street and to eat them beside her staff. The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very anxious to find out what he was. "I can tell you who he is," said a neighbor one day. "He is Grand Duke Alexis, uncle of the earl and one of the greatest men in Russia." Bitterly scorned, the woman asked: "I'll hears your name, how should I address him?" "Oh, call him 'Your Excellency,' or 'Your Royal Highness,' was the an- wer. The woman resolved to do so, and the next day, as she was sprinkling some salt over the smoking potatoes which the grand duke had bought, she said: "I can recommend them to your royal highness, for I know your excellence has never tasted better potatoes." The grand duke burst out laughing, and paid more for the potatoes than he had ever paid before, but he was annoyed at finding himself recognized and never returned to buy another potate. Glard Was Considerate One of the sea captains in the employ of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee's fondness for whitling with his jackknife, and on one trip succeeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistic sense, he really regarded the rail as greatly improved in appearance. When the vessel came to Philadelphia Girard weat aboard, made a general inspection in the captain's absence, and, as he was about to return to shore, naked one of the seamen who had been outing the rail. The seaman told him the captain, and then, afraid his telling might have unpleasant consequences were the captain to learn of it in a roundabout way, informed that official of the interview with Girard. The captain was in terror of a reprimand, but, hearing nothing from his employer, supposed the inoffent died. As he was about weighing anchor ready to leave port, a dray loaded with shingles drove down to the wharf, and the driver hailed the vessel. "There must be some mistaken shouted the captain, "Our bill ofading doesn't mention shingles!" "This is where they belong!" sung back the driver, "Mr. Girard, himself, told me to deliver them! He said they're for the captain to whittle!" Gillette a Real Sherlock Holmes. William Gillette, whose impersonation of Sherlock Holmes has become so famous, has acquired much of the running of the character he portrays, and on being interviewed by the newspaper reporters extracts from them all they know without himself imparting any information. On his return from Europe the other day all the Boston scribes sought to learn of his future plans, but were obliged to abandon the effort. Archit Paramente About twenty-five years ago government engineers decided to pave Pennsylvania avenues in Washington with asphalt. That was the beginning of the general use of the scientific mystery for street pavements. To-day over $200,000 square feet of street pavements in the United States and Canada are covered with asphalt. This asphalt pavement would make a boulevard twenty-six feet wide over 1,750 miles long and would reach from New York to New Orleans, and then have several miles for side streets. "Chair-House" Lodging Known as "the chair house," a New York institution's title is derived from the fact that human beings so poor they can not buy a lodging at the cheapest Bowery resorts to up five cents for a chance to occupy a chair for the night. By 11 o'clock the night's contingent is fast sleep in the chairs, the usual number being twenty-five or thirty men, of all kinds and dozens of decrepit poverty.
