The employment of women in the running of elevators is making some headway in certain 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 varie-ous parts of the Old World female drudges are yoked on farms with the beasts of the field. America would regard such a degradation of woman hood with unbounded scora and loathing; and in the guidance of elevators women are out of place. 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. Tales of Two Cities Joseph Taylor claims that he was out raged by the county attorney in his trial against John Sholl and he also claims that Judge Donoho was unfair in his ruling in the case. We certainly hope that there is no foundation for such statements. Rose Hill Baptist church, a revival meeting is now in progress at the church, Rev. Holt of Armourdale is helping the pastor Rev.

Fewer Children. The best calculation that can be made shows that the average number of children to the white native family a century ago in the United States was more than six; in 1830 it had fallen to less than five; in 1860 to less than four; in 1872 to less than three; in 1900, among the "upper classes" in Boston, to less than two.

I said when first interviewed that if I had a friend and ac- quaintance suffering from backache or kidney trouble I would unhesitatingly advise them to take Doan's Kidney Pills. I was subject to severe attacks of backache, always aggravated if I sat long at a desk. It struck me that if Doan's Kidney Pills performed half what they promised they might at least help. This induced me to try the remedy. It absolutely stopped the backache. I have never had a pain or a twinge since."

The Japanese race possess too sensitive a nervous system, which predisposes them to melancholy. Our people are more fond of tragedy than comedy in drama and novels. This state of things must be remedied, and the nervous system of our people must be better attended tq. Physical education demands, therefore, greater attention on the part of our students and educators.—Tokio Jijl. Marie Corelli Is Shy. One who has just returned from a delightful holiday spent in the Shakespeare country relates that the chief amusement of the natives of Stratford-on-Avon is watching the American pilgrim in his or her efforts to snapshot Miss Marie Corell. She invariably carries an umbrella or a parasol, which "goes up" the instant the authorhes spies a camera. An Insuperable Objection. Mark Twain tells of a man who, when he came home drunk, explained to his wife that his condition was due to the fact that he had mixed his drinks. "John," his wife advised, "when you have drunk all the whisky you want you ought to ask for sarsaparilla." "Yes," retorted her husband, "but when I have drunk all the whisky I want I can't say sarsaparilla." To Put In a Glass Case. The interviewed man who denies that he said it, after seeing it in cold type, will remain for the graduates of the college of journalism as a horrible example. Kansas Notes August Hohn of Marysville is one of the fifteen "Hons." appointed as delegates to the Farmers' International congress, to be held at Niagara Falls. Oil was struck in the southeast part of Coffey county this week. It is not flowing in prodigious quantities, but enough to place Coffey county in the "oil belt." George T. Anthony once said that the drug business was the only industry in Kansas whose profits exceeded the gross receipts. But that was before the Coal trust was organized. Naturally the state officers are alarmed to find that explosives are stored in the basement of the state house, though there is hardly a state officer who has not had a fire kindle under him. Pupils of the 174 schools in Kansas which are closed because no teachers are available will be glad—or ought to be—that the cornerstone of the new State Normal school at Hays City was laid Friday. Three inches of rain in one hour as Pratt this week, which caused the Ninescah river to overflow, has brought the term "cloudburst" back into use, although it is used much more conservatively than it was last spring. Emporia's coal famine is really alarming, as no coal can be obtained to run the water works. Yet Osage county, which adjoins Lyon on the east, is one of the richest coal regions in the West, and could easily supply the entire state with fuel. Parson Frederick's, a negro preacher in Atchison, was asked recently how much money he took in last Sunday. He replied that the total amount to $1.80. "Isn't that amount pretty small for preaching twice?" he was asked. "Well, I'll tell you," he replied, "it was mighty poor preaching." An Eastern Kansas paper thinks Prince Albert is the name of the house that is demolishing all the harness records. A Neosho county man who is boring for "general results," says he hopes to strike oil or gas, but will be satisfied with gasoline. A number of the ablest and most fluent "open letter" writers in Ottawa are discussing the servant girl question at much length. Fort Scott's troubles have commenced. It voted $125,000 for the municipal ownership of water works and the litigation is about to begin. It is only fair to Wichita to explain that Crescue was engaged at a princely salary as a fair attraction several months before he became a back number. Lawrence has fifty citizens whose weakin exceeds $50,000 each, thus proving the error of the assumption that Mr. Bowersock had all of the real and personal property of that town cornered. According to Billy Morgan the feeling between Bulgaria and Turkey can only be understood by those who understand the feeling which exists between Garden City and Dodge City. The suits against the Coal trust appear to have been dropped as abruptly as they were begun. An Illinois man has arisen to dispute Colonel D. R. Anthony's title as dean of the newspaper profession in the United States. Colonel Anthony has been the editor and publisher of a newspaper continuously for more than fifty years. William Osman, of the Ottawa, Ill. Free Trader, is the claimant, and he was discovered by William E. Curtis, the Chicago correspondent. Mr. Osman is 84 and has been the editor of the Free Trader almost continuously since the first of August, 1840, a period of more than sixty-three years. Even now he goes to the office daily and does his full share of the work. During the month of September the Kansas wind blew a total of 7,454 miles, according to Dr. Snow's observations. This is 2.348 miles below normal. The average wind was a fraction over ten miles an hour. 2 Another deplorable feature of the open gambling in Kansas City, Kansas, is that it is the home of J. K. Cubbison, the author of the law of 1895 which makes gambling felony in Kansas. The silt deposited by the flood has greatly enriched the land in the Kaw valley and the tributary valleys. Nevertheless, the farmers much prefer to buy less violent fertilizers and pay for them. The newest style in writing paper, which comes in sheets about a foot long and three inches wide, has reached Fredonia, and John Gilmore says: "It is now possible to write a long letter with few words." Sheriff Roodhouse of Fort Scott is entitled to three cheers. He received an anonymous letter confiding to him the present whereabouts of the Bender family, which he promptly consigned to the waste basket. Superintendent Dayhoff estimates that 174 schools in Kansas are closed because there are no teachers available. Either the Normal schools should increase their output or the new truancy law will became a dead letter. Since 1900 there has been a gain of 106 in the number of state banks. During that time there have been only three failures. But twenty-one banks have gone into voluntary liquidation because they were full of money and nobody wanted to borrow. WORN OUT, DRAGGED OUT. Are Most Women in Summer. —Pe-ru-na is a Tonic of Efficiency. Mrs. Tressie Nelson. JOSEPHINE MORRIS, 236 Carroll St., Brooklyn, N.

I have taken it now for two summers and feel that it has kept my system free from malaria, and also kept me from having that worn-out, dragged out look which so many women have. "I therefore have no hesitancy in saying that I think it is the finest tonic in the world."—Josephine Morris. Peruna is frequently used as a mitigation of the effects of hot weather. What a bath is to the skin, Peruna is to the mucous membranes. Bathing keeps the skin healthy. Peruna makes the mucous membranes clean and healthy.

The car, which is of neat construction, can be worked by one man, the driver, who will be in a position by which he will be able to take payment, and give tickets, the services of a conductor thus being dispensed with. Forests in Germany. In the official count of 1000 the area covered by forests in Germany aggregated 34,988,672 acres, of which 17,443,188 acres belonged to the states and municipalities. These, as also the woodlands of private individuals, are kept in a high state of scientific cultivation, as the preservation of forests is considered to be a matter of great importance for economic and hygienic reasons. Successful Novels. It is stated that nine of the most successful of modern novels aggregated a sale of over 1,600,000 copies. The paper on which these books were printed was made of wood fiber—cellulose—and the Pawtucket Gazette figures out that it required about 4,000 trees to furnish this paper. He Knew the Blouse. He (as they were seated in a quiet nook near the links)—“Are you quite sure we never met before this season?” She—“Yes; quite positive.” He—“And you haven’t-a sister?” She—No; why do you ask?” He—“Well, I am positive I hugged that blouse before, somewhere.” Plan to Extend British Trade. A British expedition has been sent to explore Hudson bay for the purpose of determining whether a new grain route is practicable. The plan is to ship grain from the western portion of Canada, to be stored in elevators on Hudson bay, and shipped by water during the brief summer season in which navigation is open. By the census of 1900 Chicago was shown to rank second as a manufacturing center among United States cities (New York being first) in number of establishments, 19,203; amount of capital, $534,000,000; average number of wage earners 261,621; wages in the census year, $131,056,337, and gross value of products, $888,945,311.

SENT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EAST His Power to Continue the Feud In the Army Ended—Official Statement Makes It Appear That Corbin Is Being Favored, but Facts Do Not Tally With That Theory. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) Major General Corbin, adjutant general of the army, is to be assigned to the command of the department of the East with headquarters at Governor's Island, N. Y. The order will take effect at once, and it states that he is given command of the largest department in the United States "in recognition of his services as adjutant general during the Spanish war and the Chinese and Philippine campaigns." In explanation of the transfer of these two officers, General S. B. M. Young, chief of staff, issued the following statement: "With a view to enable Major General Chaffee to become familiar with the duties vested by law in the chief of staff and to ascertain the present condition of the military establishment before entering upon their active performance, the president has directed that he be ordered to duty in the war department as assistant to the chief of staff, and that Major General Corbin be assigned to command the department of the East. This assignment, which is in accordance with the wishes of General Corbin, is intended as a recognition of the eminent services rendered by him in the important office of adjutant general during the war with Spain and the subsequent operations in China and the Philippines, and is made with a view to obtaining the benefit of his great administrative and executive ability in command of the largest and most important military department of the United States. Advantage will be taken of the assignment to secure the close harmonious and intelligent co-operation of officers and troops in carrying into effect the new methods of administration which have been made necessary by the establishment of the general staff." The announcement that General Corbin has been assigned to command the department of the East has a greater significance than appears through the medium of the carefully worded official statement. It means an end to the powerful influence exercised by General Corbin as adjutant general of the army and the curtailment of the vast power that enabled him to carry on a faintly disguised feud with the commander of the army, General Miles, during an international war, in which the latter was made to assume an importance little less than humiliating. The one standing reproach against General Corbin has been that he never commanded troops, while directing and detailing officers who had won their rank by actual fighting. He is now placed in a position to offset this criticism by commanding the largest military department in the United States and superintending the erection and extension of the greatest coast defense ever undertaken by the government. On the surface he is made to appear as greatly pleased with the disposition made of him, and any statement to the contrary would be promptly denied from all quarters with authority to speak. Ever since the organization of the general staff, however, in which General Corbin was made to give way to General Young as chief of staff, he has been compelled to relinquish his grip on the power that made him the most conspicuous soldier in the country. He left suddenly for a tour of inspection of the Western posts, and his office in the war department has been turned over to General Young, under whose direction he will command his department, as other department commanders, until next year, when General Young retires and the scramble for the appointment of chief of staff will doubtless be renewed. St. Peter's Robbed Again. ROME.—(Special.) Fifteen silver chalices have mysteriously disappeared from the sacristy of St. Peter's. The authorities are much concerned, especially as this last follows the theft of seven gold candlesticks. The police are endeavoring to track the abstracted articles and arrest the culprits. Austria Does Not Want Him VIENNA.—(Special.) Efforts have been made to put the late King Milan's illegitimate son, Milan, by Madame Cristich, into an Austrian military school, but the gocement refused the request, for political reasons. The boy will, therefore, be sent to a German school. Big Gun Plays Havoc. SAN FRANCISCO.—(Special.) The concussion caused by the discharge of the 12-inch gun on Angel Island, which was fired Friday by the artillerymen in practice, shattered windows in Sausalito, shook houses, knocked down plaster and caused much excitement among the people. The Presidio also was well shaken. The boom of the heavy gun made the general hospital feel unsafe for a few minutes, so violently was it rocked by the shooting. All the officers' dwellings were also shaken. TO RAISE $200,000,000 FUND. Negroes Have a Great Scheme for th Uplifting of the Race. NEW YORK.—(Special.) The commercial American negro national convention, which opened on Thursday in Brooklyn, closed Friday. It was decided to name the new organization which had been effected the American Negro Co-Operative and Industrial Association. The convention decided to raise a fund of $200,000,000 to aid negroes in this country. On the suggestion of the committee, it was declared that 10,000,000 negroes in the United States might be taxed 41 cents a month, which would create a fund of $50,000,000 in one year, or $200,000,000 in four years. The interest on this sum at 4 per cent, $8,000,000 a year, could be used for the establishment of factories, banking institutions, the purchase of valuable stocks and the organization of other business enterprises for the benefit of the race. A national board of supervisors, one to be chosen from each state and to have control and distribution of the fund, was advised. Ruth Bryan Is Married. LINGOLN, NEB.—(Special.) The marriage of Miss Ruth Baird Bryan and Mr. William Homer Leavitt took place at Fairview, the suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bryan, on Saturday, the day following Miss Bryan's 18th birthday. The bride met each guest at the door and remained in the parlors chatting with her friends until just before Rev. Dr. D. W. C. Huntington, chancellor of Nebraska Wesleyan university read the wedding service of the Methodist church. The Bryans are Presbyterians, but Miss Ruth was formerly a student at Wesleyan.

Her troseau was very elaborate and the members of her Greek society, the Delta Gammas, were permitted to look at the dresses at their farewell party.

TWELVE PERSONS WERE DROWNED Nine Were Rescued by the Steamer Sheboygan—Upper Works of the Hackley Were Blown Away Before She Capsized—Steamer Finally Listed and Sank Like a Stone. MARINETTE, WIS.—(Special.) During a squall Sunday night on Lake Michigan, the steamer Eric L. Hackley capsized and eleven persons were drowned. The Goodrich line steamer Sheboygan rescued the other nine persons on board the Hackley. Report of the disaster reached Marinette Monday. The Hackley was struck by the squall when seven miles off Green Island. The upper work was blown away before the men could reach a haven. The boat then turned over and went down in deep water. As the Hackley went to the bottom, those who would and could seized on floating pieces of wreckage, while the women and three or four of the men falling to find any object to which to cling, sank in the raging sea, so far as is known. The waves were rolling high and several of those who at first saved themselves from immediate death, lost strength and sank. It was more than an hour after the Hackley sank before the Sheboygan hove within hailing distance. The shouts of the floating men attracted the attention of the sailors on the Sheboygan and every assistance was lent. Some of the persons who were rescued say that it is possible that one or more of the eleven may have escaped death. This view is not given much credence by the sailors of the Sheboygan. The Sheboygan made into Fish creek when hope of rescuing other persons seemed impossible. The rescued persons were so exhausted from their struggle against drowning that they were unable for some time to tell anything about the wreck. The persons saved by the Sheboygan say that with the crashing away of the upper work, all persons aboard the Hackley ran on deck. Hasty preparations for a plunge into the water were "THERE'S NO BRO FIDDLE Newspaper dispatch: "It is rumor determined not only to reign, but rule begun, but before any of the plans could be carried out, the boat listed, turned over and went down like a rock.
