STEINBERG, Millinery, Dry Goods, Shoes, Groceries, Meats and Tinware, The Cheapest Place in Town. 1504 N. 3rd St., The employment of women in the running of elevators is making some headway in certian cities. But it ought not to gain a foot hold generally. It is not a sort of occupation in which one sex should come in competition with the other, at least in this country. In varieous parts of the Old World female drudges are yoked on farms with the beasts of the field. America would regard such a degredation of woman wood with unbounded scoria and loathing; and in the guidance of elevators women are out of place.

A Royal Scientist. The Prince of Monaco, who was prevented by a motor cycle accident from delivering his lecture at the Royal Institution of London, is perhaps the first of living oceanographers. When the British Association last met in Edinburgh the royal scientist drew large audiences to hear his accounts of his experiments upon the routes followed by the waters of oceans themselves, as distinguished from the voyagers upon them. The gambler at Monte Carlo would thus seem to serve science. Priest to Study at Yale. Rev. Francis D. McShane, one of the Dominican fathers connected with the St. Mary's church in New Haven, has just completed arrangements with the officials of Yale university by which he is to become a member of the senior academy class for 1904. He will begin his studies with the seniors next fall for the degree of bachelor of arts. This is the first instance of a Catholic priest with a parish appointment entering Yale for a degree or for study of any kind. W. S. Gilbert's Correction W. S. Gilbert, formerly of Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera fame, wrote as follows to a London newspaper recently: "There is a line in your issue of May 15 that must have sent a thrill of joy through many a worthy home. I refer to the line in an article headed 'A Naval Battle,' in which I am referred to as the 'late W. S. Gilbert.' I am always sorry to spoil sport, but common cander compels me to admit (reluctantly) that I am still alive." Shadow of the Poorhouse. J. Pierpont Morgan says he has no personal property to pay taxes on, as his debts exceed his assets. This is sad. We had always supposed that Mr. Morgan was comfortably fixed by this time.

Many churches in the central districts of London, each occupying ground worth $1,000,000, have congregations on Sunday morning of not more than a dozen persons, and usually half of them are curious Yankees. All races of mankind are beginning to value a man for what he is in himself and not for what his family may be or may have been. And that is the only way that true merit can be recognized. With some John is only John in spite of all his accomplishments. The Negro is getting some very helpful object lessons from other races and here is one he stands very greatly in need of. It looks very much like that in the future the Negro in the South must set the fast growing Negro problem in the north. A good way to measure progress is by the use you have made of your opportunities.

Henry, the Academician, is considerably over sixty years old, but his youthful smooth face, aside from his gray hair, has deceived many persons. He is an inveterate joker, and also exceedingly absent minded. This is an actual experience he had at the Century club not long ago. It was a reception, and Mr. Henry was very busy talking to a fellow artist, when something irritated his ankle. He stooped down, lifted the edge of the bottom of one of the other man's trouser legs, calmly scratched the other man's ankle just above the patent leather tie, and replacing the garment, went on talking, wholly oblivious of his action and apparently perfectly satisfied. Time of Stopping a Train. At a recent convention of airbrake men an interesting report was presented showing how the distance required for the stopping of trains had been reduced by the new high-speed brake. A train running, eighty miles an hour was stopped in 2,240 feet by the high-speed brake at 110 pounds, where ordinary pressure of seventy pounds took exactly half a mile to bring it to a stand. Other train speeds and reductions in stopping distances were these: Fifty miles an hour, from 840 to 700 feet; fifty-five miles, 1,030 feet; sixty-five miles, 1,635 to 1,300 feet; seventy miles, 2,010 to 1,530 feet; seventy-five miles, 2,295 to 1,840 feet.

Coined Expressions Guaranteed to Puzzle the Ordinary Citizen. New words, many of which are not found in the dictionaries, are cropping up to puzzle proofreaders. The introduction of the automobile has developed the term "garage," which is frequently used. It signifies a place where automobile parts are stored, to be assembled, or brought together when required. "Grog" is a term used by builders to designate broken brick. "Savage," as a verb, originated on the race course, and is now used in coursing circles. It signifies to make a vicious, unprovoked attack—usually by a stallion or a dog. "Racket store" is used in commercial circles to designate a store—often opened for temporary use—in which cheap goods are sold at "bargain prices." It some times includes what are usually termed "notions."—Typographical Journal. Peacocks Better Than Watchdogs. Bird fanciers are predicting a vogue for the peacock. They say that people who can afford it have been lately buying hundreds of them for their country places. Ornament is one consideration, but there is another thing that recommends the brilliant creature in a more practical way. Some one discovered not long ago that there is no watchdog equal to the peacock as a guardian against thieves and marauding tramps. Perched on the roof of an arbor or outbuilding of the estate, a peacock will announce in shrill, discordant notes that can be heard a mile away the presence of suspicious looking strangers within the grounds.

Staunton, Ark., Aug. 31st—News comes from Duff, Searcy Co, this state, that Mr. T. E. Reeves, a justice of the Peace at that place, has written a letter recommending Dodd's Kidney Pills in which he says: "I think Dodd's Kidney Pills can't be beat for Kidney Trouble, and I wish them every success." The local J. P. Mr. E. B. Cox agrees with his brother Justice on this point for he says: "I had a bad case of Kidney Trouble and was not able to do a day's work without great distress. I bought six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and after I had used three boxes I was all right. I am as well as ever, and I cannot praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly. "I have given the other three boxes to some friends of mine who had found out what it was that had cured me so satisfactorily and quickly and they all speak highly of Dodd's K.iney Pills." No one disputes this unanimous verdict. Nothing in this world is quite as cheerful as a lodge organizer's "good morning." Kansas Notes The Lawrence man who is to be tried "for his sanity" may succeed in proving that he hasn't any. The case against the Coal trust is a good thing for all concerned. It will please the public, and won't hurt the trust. The Independence Reporter predicts that one of the Coffeyville glass companies "may run against a snag before the fire is over." Wichita's "baby farm" seems to have been a great success, even if Colorado does monopolize the visitors of the Arkansas river. Topeka, which permits busket shops to run openly, has appeased its conscience by an ordinance placing a prohibitive tax on billiard tables. Now that Judge E. B. Plost is married again, the movement has been renewed in Kasas City, Kas., to have him shave off his superfluous "f." If County Attorney Wilson recovers from his present illness he may find himself in contempt of court. Judge Swartz has decided, in effect, that he is dead. It is announced that the Union Pacific depot in North Topeka has been "restored to its former beauty," from which it is inferred that the driftwood has been removed from the waiting poom. The Boss Busters have so far neglected to avail themselves of one of the best arguments they have: Cyrus Leland combs his hair straight down in the form of bangs. One of the most common errors is to refer to Tremble and White as the men who "swam the Bag-Bag." It was the Rio Grande that they swam, not the Bag-Bag. The Kansas soldiers crossed the Bag-Bag on a dismantled bridge. In Wichita two families play croquet until so late that they have to use lamps. The Parsons Sun is much better than it used to be. Still it refers to Lou Dillon as the "king" of trotters. In Hoisington the joints are trying to fix up an early closing agreement, so they won't have to hire night bartenders! "The Village Parson" is sure of a hearty welcome in Ottawa Friday night, although as a rule Ottawa is much more cordial to Evangelists. Harmon Wilson of Topeka is laid up with typhoid fever, the result of drinking impure water. Who would have thought that water would ever Harm Wilson? Congressman Miller, who has removed his wife as his private secretary to make a place for Homer Hoch, is supposed to have promised her "something equally as good." However, the public believes in a general way that State Treasurer Kelly and State Auditor Wells know more about the legislature's extravagances than Mr. Albaugh. Farmer Doolittle of Wichita perpetrated what is considered a great joke by the Eagle a day or two ago. Some of the Democrats want to run Mr. Craddock for governor again. The results might be the same if the Arkansas plan is followed, of putting the candidates in a twenty-foot river and letting them fight it out. "The Lord's Coming Is Near" is a sensational headline on the first page of the Newton Kansan-Republican. 3 Fort Scott has need of a Don't Do That club. It is to vote soon on the proposition for public ownership of water works. Attorney General Coleman says he is looking for "data" with which to proceed against the Coal trust. What more does he want than this scale of retail prices: In October, 1900, $1.75 a ton; in October, 1901, $1.80; in October, 1902, $2.10; in September, 1903, $3.10? The corn reports are all so flattering that Atchison puts in all its spare time regretting that it decided in an evil moment to have no Corn carnival this year. This is the way the Hutchinson News expresses it: "There are 3,000 places in Kansas which have paid revenue to Uncle Sam to violate the state prohibitory law." Sam Forsha, of Reno, has bought the biggest plow ever brought into Kansas. It is twenty-four horse power, and turns sixteen furrows at a time.

I was miserable and could not stand up or walk for any length of time without a extra me weariness and pain. I began taking Peruna and I greatly relieved me, and in eleven weeks I was completely cured and felt like a new man."--James M. Powell. Hundreds of Dollars Spent in Vain. Mr. Cyrus Hershman, Sheridan Ind., writes: "Two years ago I was a sick man. Catarrh had settled in the pelvic organs, making life a burden and giving me little hope of recovery. I spent hundreds of dollars in medicine which did me no good. I was persuaded by a friend to try Peruna. I took it two weeks without much improvement, but I kept on with it and soon began to get well and strong very fast. Within two months I was cured, and have been well ever since. I am a strong advocate of Peruna."—C. Hershman. Climate Is Deadly.

Up to within a year or two a butterfly farm establishment at Eastbourne, England, by William Watkins, an entomologist, was the only one of its kind. To-day, however, there exist several such farms in France. These butterflies are reared in the interest on the silkworm industry and also rare specimens are grown to be sold at high prices to museums of natural history in all parts of the world. A NEW ROUTE. It is by change of diet that one can get fairly on the road to health after years of sickness, for most ill health comes from improper feeding. What a boon it is to shake off coffee sickness and nervous headaches as some can if determined. One woman accomplished it in this way: "A few years ago I suffered terribly from sick and nervous headaches being frequently confined to my bed two or three days at a time, the attacks coming on from one to four times in every month. I tried medicines of all kinds but could get no real relief until my parents finally persuaded me to quit the use of coffee altogether and try Postum Food Coffee. It had come to a point where I was so utterly miserable that I was willing to make any reasonable trial. "A person couldn't believe what followed but the results speak for themselves; that was two and a half years ago and I have never tasted coffee since. I use Postum not only for its delicious flavor but more for the good it has done me. All of my troubles disappeared as if by magic and I have for the past two years been doing all the work for my family of six. I seldom have even a slight headache and I would not give up my Postum and go back to coffee now unless I deliberately intended to commit suicide. "All of my neighbors it seems to me now use Postum in place of coffee and some of them have been doing so for several years with splendid results from the health point of view."

President Roosevelt Has Not Yet Made Up His Mind—Much Will Depend on Report of Conditions Which Admiral Cotton Will Make Shortly. BEIRUT, SYRIA.—(Special.) The United States cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco have arrived here. WASHINGTON. — (Special.) The disposition of the cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco, of Admiral Cotton's squadron, which arrived at Bierut Friday, has not yet been finally determined by the administration. No orders regarding the future movements of the vessels have been sent to Admiral Cotton, and much will depend on the character of the report he makes concerning conditions in and about Beirut and on the representations which may come from the minister as to the necessity for the presence of American war vessels in Turkish waters to look after the protection of the interests of the citizens of the United States in the sultan's domain. LONDON.—(Special.) The Morning Post publishes a letter from its Constantiople correspondent in which he discusses the Beirut affair and the position of the American missionaries in Asia Minor. He says: "Things have arrived at a crisis. The United States must either insist upon the porte listening to its representations regarding American converts or drop the missionaries altogether. "The latter course is naturally impossible and the sending of a squadron has great significance as showing a determination on the part of America to take an active part in the Turkish question. One result of this step will probably be to induce the sultan to raise his representative at Washington to the rank of ambassador, so that the United States can be equally represented here. At present America is at a decided disadvantage in this respect compared with the other first-class powers. Nobody can quite foresee the ultimate attitude of the United States, but is it almost certain that her weight will incline on the side of the Christian against the Turk. At the same time, as a matter of importance to Great Britain, America is almost bound to oppose the descent of Russia on the Dardanelles, because in religious matters the Turk is more tolerant than the Russian." CANNOT WED, ASKS DAMAGES. Girl Says Accident Caused Deformities Which Drone Suitors Away. ST. PAUL, MINN.—(Special.) Because she is unable to get married, despite the fact that before last April she had dozens of admirers and suitors, Rosa Adams, 20 years old, has begun suit against the St. Joseph's Hospital Society, owners of St. Joseph's hospital, for $10,000 damages. She alleges that by reason of a fall in an elevator shaft at the hospital she has lost the use of one arm, has the other arm crippled, and is now so deformed that she "is ineligible for a proper marriage." On April 28 the girl was employed at the hospital as "tray girl." In taking breakfast to a patient she stepped through the elevator door on the second floor. The car was not there, however, and she plunged down the shaft to the basement. For Letting Logan Escape K NO X VILLE, TENN.—(Special.)

OFFICERS ARRESTED IN SERVIA Because They Demanded That the Regicides Be Court-Martialed. BELGRADE, SERVIA.—(Special.) A number of officers of the Nish and other garrisons in Servia have been arrested in connectio with the issuance of the proclamation demanding the rital by court-martial of the conspirators who were concerned in the assassination of King Alexander Queen Draga and their ministry, and threatening to resign their commissions if the demand was refused. Later it was announced that a group of officers of the Nish garrison decided to kill all the conspirators concerned in the palace assassinations and that many officers of other garrisons joined them. It was intended to act at an early date, but the news leaked out and all the conspirators were arrested during the night. Forty-seven officers have been arrested at Nish alone. A STRIKE CAUSED SUICIDE. The President of the Cook's Union Had Lost Employment. CHICAGO.—(Special.) Jacob B Smith threw himself from the fourth story window of his home Thursday night and was killed. He was suffering from remorse for having gone or strike against the employer for whom he had worked for twenty-five years. Smith, who was president of the Cook's union, had been chef at a downtown restaurant for twenty-five years. He went on strike when the hotel and restaurant employees were called out two months ago, taking the entire kitchen force, as well as the waiters, with him. The strike failed and Smith lost his position. They came days of worry and finally of remorse. Within the last week Smith's friends had noticed symptoms of a falling mind, and it is thought that his sul cide was the act of an insane ma. ARE PREPARED FOR PIRATES, Philippine Coins to eB Shipped From New York To Day NEW YORK. — (Special.) The steamers Nubia and Sagami left this port Friday for the Philippines, carrying 10,465,000 silver coins, aggregating in currency value $1,075,000. The coins were packed at the Philadelphia mint in little iron-bound kegs, each containig $2,500. To guard against possible attack by pirates both ships are equipped with six four-pounders, which will be mounted as soon as the vessels get clear of the harbor. There also is a heavy supply of small arms aboard and a special guard will watch the kegs until the money reaches the government wharf at Manila. The vessels will sail by way of the Suen canal. Would Exclude Foreigners. BERLIN. — (Special.) Influential newspaper and magazines are urging the government to limit the number of foreigners instructed in the German technical high schools, or, more properly, technical universities, which are overcrowded. Out of a total of 14,626 students, 2,242 are foreigners Nearly half are Russians, and there are a few Americans. Besides giving trade competitors the benefit of German knowledge, the promoters of the exclusion argue that the over crowding prevents the Germans from getting the best results from the in struction.

SAID H. WANTED TO MARRY ALICE Was Very Persistent and Finally Was Arrested—Physicians Who Examined Him Declared Him to Be Insane and He Will Be Sent to an Asylum—Son of a Truck Farmer. OYSTER BAY, L. L.—(Special.) A man giving his name as Frank Welbrener was arrested at Sagamore Hill late Tuesday night while making a persistent demand to see President Roosevelt. The man was armed with a loaded revolver. He was taken to the village and placed in the town prison. Shortly after 10 o'clock Tuesday night Weilbrenner drove to Sagamore Hill in a phaeton buggy. He was stopped by the secret service operative on duty. Weilbrenner said he had a personal engagement with the president and desired to see him. As it was long after the hours when visitors are received, the officer declined to permit him to go to the house. The man insisted, but the officer turned him away. Soon afterward Weilbrenner returned and again insisted that he be allowed to see the president, if only for a minute. This time he was ordered away and warned not to return. Just before 11 o'clock the man returned a third time and demanded of the officer that he should be permitted to see the president at once. The officers' response was to take the man from his buggy and put him in the stables, where he was placed under the guard of two stablemen. A revolver was found in the buggy. Later Weilbrenner was brought to the village and locked up. He is 5 feet, 8 inches high, 28 years of age, has a medium sized dark mustache, black eyes and evidently is of German descent. He resides in Syosset, about five miles inland from Oyster Bay. He was well dressed in a suit of dark material and wore an old fashioned derby hat. It is thought by the officers that Weilbrenner was accompanied by two other men, as their footprints were found in the mud alongside of the buggy tracks. In view of this fact, the officer on duty telephoned to the village for assistance and was soon joined by two other secret service men. While Weilbrenner talked rationally to the officers, it was evident from his conversation later that he is demedent. He said that he had received a telegraph communication from the president directing him to call at Sagamore Hill. Weilbrenner's buggy was taken to a local livery barn. When asked what had become of the rig. Weilbrenner replied: "Oh, the president has taken care of it. That's all right." Weilbrenner is regarded by those who had seen him to be a dangerous lunatic. Several years ago he had a nervous attack which rendered him mentally helpless for a day or two, but his family supposed that he had been quite restored by medical treatment he received at that time. Since then he has manifested no symptoms of mental aberration. He had no sociistic or anarchistic tendencies, so far as known, never having been interested in any question of the kind. He was employed daily on his father's farm. Weilbrenner was arraigned Wednesday before Justice Franklin on complaint of the secret service operatives who placed him under arrest. Weilbrenner's brother, William, was present at the examination. Justice Franklin questioned the prisoner about his movements last night. His replies were made in a quiet tone of voice, but they indicated apparently beyond a doubt that the man is crazy. Asked why he went to Sagamore Hill, he replied: "I went to see the president about his daughter, Alice." "Had you an engagement with the president?" "Yes." "How was that engagement made?" "I talked with the president last night," replied Wellbrenner. "How did you talk with him?" "Oh, I just talked." "A sort of wireless talk, was it?" "Yes, that is it, a wireless talk." "Why diod you want to see the president about Miss Alice?" "I wanted to marry her." "Did you ever see Miss Roosevelt?" "Yes, I saw her night before last." "Where did you see her?" "At my house." "Yes, she came in a red automobile." "Who accompanied her?" "Her brother, Theodore." Justice Franklin, after the examination, concluded he would Hold Well- End of the Spanish War. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling has decided that, for purposes affecting deserters from the United States navy, the Spanish war ended December 10, 1998, the date of the signing of the treaty of peace. This conclusion disagrees with the ruling of the war department to the effect that the war was not closed for administrative purposes in that department until April 11, 1899, the date of the exchange of ratifications of the treaty. ohrner until an inquiry of lunacy could be held upon his case. Weilbrenner was taken to Mineola, L. I., on an evening train and placed in the custody of the county authorities. It appears that President Roosevelt was aware of the trouble the secret service officer had with Weilbrenner last night. After the man had been turned cack the second time, despite his insistence that he had an engagement with the president, the officer, to make assurance doubly sure, inquired of the president about the fellow. Mr. Roosevelt was in his library only a short distance from the spot where the officer had stopped Weilbrenner's horse. He told the officer he had no engagement with anybody. When Weilbrenner returned a third time with a demand that he be permitted to see the president, the officer seized him and drew him out of the vehicle over the front wheel. The scuffle attracted the president's attention. He appeared at the door overlooking the driveway from the veranda as Weilbrenner was being taken into the stables, but returned to the library almost immediately. Weilbrenner has been practicing with his revolver recently, but he would give no reason for his interest in markmanship and to-day said he could not shoot very well. Drains Cripple Creek Mines.

HAD A BROKEN VALVE IN THE ENGINE Propellors Reached Speed of Only 500, Instead of 1,200—After a Four Hours' Struggle With the Machine, the Attempt to Fly It Was Abandoned Until Valve Can Be Repaired WIDEWATER, VA.—(Special.) Efforts Thursday to launch Prof. Samuel P. Langley's sixty-foot man-carrying aerodrome had to be abandoned, owing to the failure of the gasoline motor to work properly. For four hours Prof. Charles M. Manley, the inventor's right-hand man, labored hard to get the machinery in shape. He was unsuccessful. The trouble was caused by a broken valve in the engine. When Professor Langley at last reluctantly called the experiment off, the aerodrome was returned to the interior of the houseboat. The inventor then made the following statement: "The work of the afternoon has been a great disappointment to us all. The failure to have an experiment was caused by the discovery of a broken valve in the motor. This can be repaired, I think, during the foreon to-morrow." When the signal was given by firing a skyrocket from the houseboat to apply the motive power to the machine, Prof. Manley tried in vain to get his engine in operation. Several subsequent attempts were made, but the revolutions, instead of reaching 1,200, did not exceed 500, and the work was very irregular. Professor Manley was attired in a light costume when he entered the aeronaut's cabin. He wore a pair of white duck corks. His jacket was padded with cork to assist him in keeping above water at the termination of the flight. Attached to his left knee was a watch to register the exact time of starting and the duration of the flight. Throughout the whole of the trying ordeal he appeared remarkably calm. Just before the expected time of the launching, Professor Langley said: "If there is no accident at the houseboat in the launching, we hope to see a successful flight. The greatest fear is for the immediate launching." HE KISSED HIS PUPILS. The Testimony at the Trial of a School Principal in Indianapolis. INDIANAPOLIS.—(Special.) Prof. James L.

IT'S WHAT MAKES BABIES DRINK Milk From Distillery-Fed Cows Alarms a Chicago Food Inspector CHICAGO.—(Special.) The theory that germs of an appetite for liquor are imparted to Chicago babies through the medium of milk from cows that eat the refuse from Peoria distilleries has suggested itself to R. M. Patterson, assistant food inspector. Mr. Patterson has just returned from Peoria, where he found 150 distilleried cows whose milk had been regularly shipped to Chicago. He enjoined the dairymen to sell no more milk from these cattle. "I can't say that I saw any of the cattle under the influence of liquor" said Mr. Patterson, "but I know that the corn mash has a peculiar effect on them and it is against the law to sell their milk."
