The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. W. H. CLARK IN THE CLUTCHES OF THE LAW. Some time ago we said that we fully realized that some member of the firm of Clark, Carter, Watkins, Terrell and company, would attempt to take our life, or assault us, and in keeping with this idea W. H. Clark, who has up to the present been Ham Carter's right hand man in all things, has on numerous occasions threatened to do us bodily harm and at last forebearance ceased to be a virtue with us and as we really believed that our life was, and is, in danger, and in accordance with this idea, we swore out a state warrant for the arrest of W. H. Clark last Friday, and the officer of the law arrested Clark at 12 o'clock the same day. He was charged with disorderly conduct and assault and battery, he was brought before Justice John M. Moore, and his bond was placed at four hundred dollars. George J. Woods, the gambling prince, signed Clark's bond. Here it might be said that on the morning of May 9, County Constable James Fitzpatrick, served a warrant on us and he snatched us away from the bed-side of our sick wife, but we did not utter one word of complaint, and we took our medicina like a man. We did not kick or cuss or dam anybody, but when the constable jerked W. H. Clark out of the City Hall last Friday he kicked like a big stuck hog. Clark, who wants to be regarded as the headlight of Ham Carter's club-headed crowd thinks he has the indisputed right to do everything in his power to injure us, but he is soft-headed enough to labor under the impression that we have no right to retaliate. In this Clark is very much mistaken and we wish to assure him that just as long as he continues to lead Ham Carter's fight against us, just so long will we lay on to him, and we know he delights in being classed as a bruiser and a bully, that he is much bigger and stronger than us; that he may kill us with one blow of his big first or shoot us to death; but he can never run us out of town, nor cower us from telling the truth. Again, it was Clark who first began the fight on us, by going before Mr. R. E. Burke and the executive committee, where he endeavored to knock us; it was Clark who favored starting a campaign sheet last fall in opposition to The Broad Ax, and up to that time we had never said one word in The Broad Ax against W. H. Clark, but we had always spoken of him in the highest terms; it was Clark who first branded us as a "yellow hyena and a bastard," in the presence of many people, while we were standing in front of the Democratic headquarters on Randolph street; and after doing so he ran around town and laughed and blowed about it; it was Clark who talked with R. B. Cabbell two weeks prior to our arrest as to the advisibility of getting us indicted by the grand jury, for Clark thought that would deter us from writing any more articles respecting Clark, Carter and company; it was Clark who paid fifty cents out of his own pocket to have Ham Carter's libel suit docketed; it was Clark who cussed and swore at us and called us a "bastard and a hyena" and many other vile names. As we entered Justice John C. Everett's court rooms on the 22nd day of May; it was Clark who incited Jacob Harris also to curse and abuse us on that same day right in the hallway of Justice Everett's court; moreover it was Clark who went over to the criminal court on the same afternoon, May 22, and lied to the assistant states attorney, who had charge of the grand jury, by informing him "that Justice Everett had six times refused to go ahead with our examination. Sunday, June 9, the Cook County Colored Democracy held its meeting and Clark was one of the first present to condemn The Broad Ax and denounce Julius F. Taylor, which he bad the right to do and at the same time we contend that we also have the right to defend ourselves from the attacks of W. H. Clark, through the columns of The Broad Ax, but Clark believes that we ought to remain perfectly quite and permit him to do all the plotting against us, but we will never do that, not as long as there is one spark of life in our body. The Monday morning after Clark endeavored to gain a point against us in the meeting, he met us on the second floor of the City Hall and he called us all kinds of vile names and declared that "if we did not la, off of him that he would fix us so that our wife would not know us," or words to that effect. Clark, whenever you are ready to lay off of us then we will stop fighting you; but unless you or some of your friends kill us, we have highly resolved to continue the fight to the bitter end. Once more, as we were entering Justice John M. Moore's court rooms last Monday Clark exclaimed to us: "Why don't you fight, you son of a b—." P. S. — W. H. Clark will have a hearing before Justice John C. Everett, 125 South Clark street, Tuesday afternoon, June 25, at 2 p. m. MRS. ELNOR F. EARLY WON HER SHUT AGAINST THE GUY SUIT AGAINST THE CITY. She Obtained a Verdict for Five Thousand Dollars Monday last, Mrs. Earley's suit against the city, which was referred to in the last issue of The Broad Ax, came up before Judge Hanecy, and much to the surprise of Mrs. Earley and her many friends she came out victorious against the city. It seems that those having charge of the city's side were unable to induce honorable citizens, white or black, to testify against her, for not one white person in all this great city took the witness-stand against her. On the contrary, two white doctors testified in her behalf. Dr. J. N. Croker, Rev. A. J. Carey, Mrs. Mary Kennan, Mrs. Harrison and one or two others, stood by Mrs. Earley, while the city had with one or two exceptions the worst class of colored people to lie for it. Mrs. Mary Fletcher, who is a warm friend of W. H. Clark, and who pretended to be Mrs. Earley's dear friend, gave her testimony as follows: "On May 2, 1900, I resided at 2306 Wabash avenue. I know Mrs. Earley. She came to room with me in November, 1900. She washed dishes and helped me around the house. She always kept her crutch hanging up in the house. She showed me her right leg every morning. I never saw anything wrong with it. She always used her crutch when she went out. She sewed, washed and run the machine, as she always had done." "No other women showed me their legs. I did not know anything about anybody else's leg; I only know about her leg. I did not see any sores on it. She went away from my house. She just limped. I did not pay her anything. I took her in because I heard that she had got hurt." After Mrs. Earley met with the accident Mrs. Fletcher begged her to come and reside at her home until she got well, as Mr. Fletcher was away from home so much that Mrs. Earley could keep her company, but in the end, after Mrs. Earley would not let Lawyer Schwemm have her case, Mrs. Fletcher sold out to the city for one dollar and ten cents. James De Lacey was the next star witness for the city, and he was a much better liar than the persons who preceded him. He said in part: "I am a cook by profession, I lived at 2442 Dearborn street, in April, 1900; I was running on the road and worked for the Pullman Palace Car Co. Have known Mrs. Earley for five years. She was a member of Quinn Chapel; I am a member there also. She was in my class. I know Rev. Carey; am an intimate friend of his. He is my preacher. On May 2, 1900, I went to 2900 Dearborn street; saw Mrs. Earley; she was in bed. She showed me her leg. I saw a little white rag on it. I stayed there for two hours; I did not see anybody else there. I left there and went around to Rev. Carey's house where she said she got hurt. I did not see anything the matter with the sidewalk there. I visited her about forty times, and she showed me her leg every time. I never saw anything the matter with her leg." CHICAGO, JUNE 22, 1901. Cross-examination: "I am a brother of Police Officer De Lacey; I was railroading, April, 1900; sometimes I would be gone ten days from town, as it took about ten days to make the trip. I was over that sidewalk two or three times a day in April. On May 2, 1900, someone told me that Mrs. Earley was hurt. Do not know who told me. I went to her house, 2900 Dearborn street. I don't know whether I went there for evil or good. She was a sister in the church, and I felt it my duty to call on her. I did not tell her that I was going to testify against her. I did not tell anybody. I just testified against her. I never talked with anyone about the case." If there is a place called hell (which we doubt) it is full of such Christians as James De Lacey. Walter Hill was the next witness for the city, and by the time Mrs. Earley's attorneys, Ben, F. Richolson and R. M. Mitchell turned him loose, he cd not know anything. Judge Hanecy scored the city for putting so many cheap-skates on the witness-stand. In less than ten minutes from the time the case went to the jury, it returned a verdict in favor of Mrs. Earley, who is nobody's fool, for five thousand dollars. Lawyers Richolson and Mitchell won Mrs. Earley's suit for no other reason than that right, justice and The Broad Ax, was on the side of Mrs. Earley. ALL LABOR HONORABLE. W. H. Councill, President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes at Normal, Alabama, recently delivered an address in which he said: "I came through the Richmond slave pen to this platform upon which I stand today. I do not regret the hard struggles of my life and the bitter experiences necessary to my growth, for, after all, adversity tests and develops man. "Whip idlers from among us, as the bee stings out the drone. Idlers produce crime and criminals. We must ask nothing but a chance to work and to be paid for our work. Envy no man. Take nothing from any man. Every honest Negro drayman, servant girl, washerwoman, mechanic, hotel boy, barber, who does his duty in an intelligent, competent, trustworthy manner, is a queen or prince among them. "No honest labor is dichonorable. It is more blessed to serve than to be served in any walk of life. The servant girl's hood and apron above an honest heart and educated brain are as honorable as the college cap and gown." This is good advice and a worthy sentiment. The white man as well as the black man might profit by Mr. Councill's suggestion. The apron of the laborer is, indeed, a badge of honor; and it would be well if every parent sought to impress upon the child that nothing is more honorable than honest toll.-The Commoner. THE GREAT PHENOMENON. For over half a century the newspapers have kept a little article running through them about how if one cent had been put at interest when Christ was born and continued compounding yearly till now the sum would amount to more than all the money in the world, and how that the owner would be master of all the world and a curse to the human race. No one seems to suspect that the thing has really been done. But it is so. Only instead of loaning one cent nineteen hundred years ago the lender began about 85 years ago by lending about one half billion dollars and compounding the interest. Rothschild's house is the owner of the monstrous sum, and has prevailed on the world to abolish all other representatives of money save gold—it now owning all the gold stock. Why do not the papers keep this fact before the people. It is never mentioned. Our money bosses, the agents of that house, are busy at deluding us. But the great fact begins to show its consequences too plain for dental. HOLT. NOTICE. The Colored Women's Business Club regrets to say, that all persons who took tickets for the Hudgin's Benefit Concert given at the Institutional Church, Monday evening, June 10, have not as yet fully reported. All persons holding tickets will kindly report to the assistant treasurer, Mrs. Andrew Smith, 2821 Wabash avenue, at once. Your tardiness in this respect greatly handicaps us in our report. However, up to the present time we can partially report clear of all expenses, $60.000. Said expenses were for rental of Institutional Church, refreshments, printing, distribution of bills, etc. A full report will be given stating full amount received and expended, as soon as all outstanding tickets are returned. Cause of this delay is no fault of Cora Napier, chairman; Gertrude L. Green, Anna Cooper, M. D., Daisy Day, Ida Clark, Mrs. Andrew Smith and Mrs. Lytle. We will not have time to get around to Ham Carter and Miss Bessie, the chair-warmer, until the next issue of The Broad Ax. Ex-County Commissioner Edward H. Wright returned home from New York City and the East last Sunday. Mr. Wright was called East to attend the funeral of his mother. We will give one silver dollar to any man, woman or child who will point their finger at the leading colored Democrat who is the father of the blind baby which is half white and half bleak. Miss Carrie E. Hall, who has been successfully teaching in the public schools of Marlin and Hearne, Texas, has arrived in this city, to pay a visit to her aunt, Mrs. L. A. Davis, 5012 Fifth avenue. During his southern tour Rev. Dr. J. T. Jenifer, of the A. M. E. Church, said with the exception of taking tickets he found the Negro doing everything, from running the engine to starting and stopping trains.—Ex. Judge M. F. Tuley: "Here is my subscription to The Broad Ax, and while I do not find time to read it each week, Mrs. Tuley does, and she thinks The Broad Ax is a great newspaper." Mr. James T. Jones, who sees that the members of the Cook County Democracy are in line during their meetings, had charge of the sixth train which hauled the picnicers to Fox River and Mr. Jones made a first-class conductor. Alderman Charles J. Byrne, of the Ninth Ward, recently spent several weeks in touring through the East and he had a delightful trip. Alderman Byrne continues to please and look after the interest of all the people of his ward. Duncan P. Webster's talk on "Social Classification," before the South End Club last Sunday, was far beyond all the papers heretofore elaborated upon for the benefit of the members of the club. Sunday, June 23, the Rev. L. M. Fenwick, D. D., will speak on "Social Evils, or Essence of Ethics." The members of he Phyllis Wheatly Club, will give a Buffalo social Wednesday evening, June 26, at the residence of Mrs. Coats, 3329 State street, at which time a handsome lamp-shade will be raffled. A cordial invitation is extended to all to come and spend a social evening. Tickets 11 cents. Lieut. W. P. Clancy, of the Stock Yards Police Station, says, "that The Broad Ax contains many articles which would do credit to the large daily papers and that he himself, Mrs. Clancy and all the children road The Broad Ax each week with much interest." The Palladium, of St. Louis, Mo., says in its last issue "That it is well aware of the fact that Hannibal Carter never kills, for he belongs to the law regiment; something like Nick Childs, of the Plaindealer, when he CHIPS. gets his booze on, watch him or these two, for they are seldom without it." Mrs. Esther A. Palmer, who is still living in Philadelphia, Pa., has the distinction of teaching the first public school for colored children in Philadelphia in 1816 in a church building known as Paschal ville. She was also active in the anti-slavery crusade before the civil war and rendered valuable service to the cause.—Ex. Attorney Albert B. George, Ashland Block, was elected Chancellor Commander of Hannibal Lodge, No. 6, K. cf P., last Tuesday night. This shows that Lawyer George is kinder coming up in the world, and if he lives and studies real hard he will in time become the leading Afro-American lawyer of Chicago. Joseph L. Jones, adjutant-general of the U. R. K. of P., of Ohio, and B. C. Carruthers, of Missouri, inspector-general of the U. R. K. of P., are spending a few days in this city. These big K. P.'s are the guests of Major R. A. Ware, 2232 Dearborn street, and on Sunday evening a reception will be tenedered them by the 1st Battalion. U. R. K. of P.'s. The Cook County Democracy gave it's picnic last Saturday, and about six thousand of it's friends assembled at Fox River Grove, and apparently all hands enjoyed the outing. Mayor Carter H. Harirson, Mayor David Rose of Milwaukee, Hons. Samuel Alschuler, James Todd and Frank Wenter, entertained the picnicers with their oratory. About four Sundays ago W. H. Clark visited the South Side Sunday Club, 47th and State streets, and his friend S. B. Emmick suggested the idea that Clark be called on to address the club and while Clark was engaged in speaking he advised his hearers to get "money even if they had to go after the money with burglars' tools and a jimmie." It is strange to say that the unthinking members of the club applauded Clark's ill-advised talk. Judge A. N. Waterman lately wrote a very interesting little book, consisting of 86 pages, entitled: "A Century of Caste." It is a short and simple story of the struggles, trials and hardships of the Negro race, and by writing this little book Judge Waterman has shown that he is able to rise above race prejudice, that he is in favor of permitting all worthy Negroes to have a white man's chance in the race of existence, so for this, if for no other, every Negro who desires to keep abreast of the times should secure a copy of Judge Waterman's little book. Great is the Negro. Philadelphia has a blind colored man with a marvelous memory named William Ellwood Wright, who lives at 1128 Rodman street, who is employed by Edward C. Zwicker, a white butcher. As the butcher calls off the names of buyers, this colored man packs each bundle of meat in the basket, makes a dot on each package with a pointed skewer, which has a meaning according to their location and number, like the Bralkle system of printing for the blind, and delivers the entire lot over that big city without the slightest error.—Ex. The election which was held throughout the city last Friday night for the selection of presidents and other officers of the Democratic ward organizations were lively in the extreme. In several wards rump meetings were held behind closed doors. Judging from the methods which were brought into play the leaders of the city hall forces were unwilling to trust the Democrats residing in the various wards to exercise their rights as free American citizens in choosing officers for their ward clubs, as it has been well said that home rule is the cardinal doctrine of Democracy, that the seceses which were enacted last Friday night did not reflect any credit upon those who are in favor of trampling the fundamental principles of Democracy under their feet. The Philippines touch closely upon the gutta percha belt, yet the tree does not grow there indigenuously, and it is at least very problematical whether it can be cultivated there. It will not grow in Cochin, China, likewise near the gutta percha belt, because the average temperature is too low and the changes too sudden. The emperor of Morocco has a very peculiar band. His private musicians are 80 in number and they all play clarionets, which were made by a London firm. Curiously enough they are all in one key. The emperor takes great delight in listening to the 80 clarionets being blown simultaneously, but he can not convince his court that "music hath charms." Some curious botanical experiments made at a zoological laboratory at Naples are reported by Hans Winkler. A flowerless aquatic plant, that grows normally with its roots in the sand and leaves in water, was inverted, specimens being placed with the leaves buried in the sand and the roots in water in strong light. The roots changed to stems and leaves, the buried parts becoming roots. "Not if I were as rich as Croesus," recently objected an American who is supposed to be worth $400,000,000. Unhappily for Croesus, "the bubble reputation" may petrify as well as burst. Archaeologists digging among the libraries of Asia discovered the inventory of Croesus, and found that that fraud of a millionaire was worth only $9,000,000. America swarms with Croesuses who could buy up the typical rich man of the olden time. A great sensation has been caused in Vienna by an order for the arrest of a member of the Austrian Parliament, named Franz Krempa, who is accused of highway robbery in the district of Tarnow. The prosecution claims that Krempa, at the head of a band of ten peasants, waylaid a man named Rusinowsky, a horse dealer, robbed him of a considerable amount of cash, and beat him until he was insensible. Krempa belonged to the Polish People's Party, and is now missing. In northwestern Montana, near the British line, there is a lake the waters of which flow through the St. Mary river to Hudson bay. The divide between the lake and the head waters of the Milk river, an affluent of the Missouri, is so low that engineers say it would be feasible to divert the outlet from Canadian to American territory. As water for irrigation is highly valued on both sides of the line, the question whether the United States has a right to divert it is one of international interest, and may yet become important. Every time that Russia "bluffs" England and gains a diplomatic victory, says a wise observer, a certain marketable quantity of prestige is transferred from one nation to the other. He adds that trade cannot flourish nor subject races be governed without an ample store of prestige to draw upon at will. It is an interesting fact that the first but now obsolete meaning of prestige is illusion, imposture. Unfortunately, the element of trickery in diplomacy, whereby national prominence has been gained throughout the history of foreign governments, is by no means obsolete. Doctor Dussaud of Paris has invented a cinematograph, by means of which blind persons can experience the illusion of moving objects as people with sight do an illuminated screen. The appartus consists of a machine that causes a series of reliefs, representing trees, birds or other objects, to pass rapidly under the fingers. The reliefs are so graduated that the delicate sense of touch possessed by the blind translates their variations into apparent movements of the objects represented. Doctor Dussaud employs the appartus mainly for educational purposes. He has also devised a system of electric vibrations for conveying to the deaf an impression of musical rhythm. In the Interstate Park near Taylor's Falls, Minnesota, has been discovered a singular group of "giants' kettles," or pot-holes, covering an area of two or three acres and ranging in diameter from less than a foot to 25 feet, and in depth from one foot to 84 feet. They have been bored in exceedingly hard rock, and in many cases they are like wells in shape, the ratio of width to depth varying from one to five up to one so seven. Mr. Warren Upham ascribes their origin to torrents failing through glacial "moulins" at the time when the northern territory of the United States was buried under ice. As with similar pot holes else, here, rounded boulders are occasionally found at the bottom of the cavities.

She was a most gorgeous personage. She rode in a glittering victoria of the latest build, the chains attached to the horses' outfit clanged beautifully, the coachman couldn't have sat up any straighter without having a disaster to his backbone, and not a woman she met could come within a thousand miles of her white tulle hat, with the pink roses under the brim. Her gown was a mass of delicate chiffon frills and lace. Altogether a large pair of gold bonbon tongs should have gone with the outfit to lift her out and into the carriage, because she could not have been touched any other way without spoiling her appearance. Considering all this, she might have bestowed a sweet and gracious smile on lesser atoms of humanity, but instead of that she wore her haughtiest, most disdainful frown. It evidently came straight from Paris, packed in violet sachets, it was so perfect in its way. Women wearing their last year's frocks simply withered up under it and tried to hide behind lampposts and trees till she got by. The queen of Sheba could not have appeared more arrogant, more imperious and disregardful of the rest of the world. Just then a high tandem cart spun by her carriage, the leader kicked his heels in equine playfulness and a large, fat, whole-souled chunk of Fairmount park mud landed squarely on the tip of the untouchable regal lady's nose. After that the women in the last year's gowns felt lots better and more resigned.—Philadelphia Telegraph. A. Pike County Miracle. Velpen, Ind., June 17.—Wm. O. B. Sullivan, a farmer of this place, and who is a brother of ex-Representative Sullivan of Pike and Dubois counties, has had a remarkable experience recently. Mr. Sullivan is 49 years of age, and has been a citizen of Pike County for 30 years. For two years, he has suffered much with kidney trouble and rheumatism. His shoulders and side were very sore and stiff, and his back was so bad he could hardly straighten up at all. He had palpitation of the heart, and a smothering which was very distressing. He used three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and is as strong and well as ever he was. He pronounces his cure a miracle. Mr. Sullivan's statement of his case is startling. "A month ago I was a cripple. Today I can do a hard day's work every day, and have not a single ache or pain." Dodd's Kidney Pills have done some wonderful cures in Indiana, but none more miraculous than that in the case of Mr. Sullivan. Real Pleasures of the Auto To any one having the slightest aptitude for things mechanical, the study of an automobile soon becomes an absorbing passion. There is a beauty, a fascination about a perfectly constructed and smoothly working piece of machinery that is apparent even to the unscientific mind. To take control of this materialized energy, to draw the reins over this monster with its steel muscles and fiery heart-there is something in the idea that appeals to an almost universal sense, the love of power. Add the element of danger, and the fascination inherent in automobiling as a sport is not difficult to understand.

"The Crisis" is a book every American should know, for it teaches him anew to revere the memory of the men to whom this nation owes its continued existence, to bow in gratitude to even the least of them who struggled on the hustings and in daily life, or later shouldered a musket that this nation, under God, should have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not perish from the earth.—New York Mail and Express.

The Most Unique Figure in American Municipal Politics—His Stormy Career A Fighter in Every Sense—Street Railroad Magnate. One of the most unique figures in American municipal politics, Patrick Jerome Gleason, died of heart failure the other day at his home in Long Island City, as mayor and absolute monarch of which he achieved a celebrity which made his name as familiar to newspaper readers for a time as that of the president. Gleason was a fighter, figuratively and literally. He thrived on contention and his love of strife continued from the day he whipped all the boys of his native parish in Ireland until he made a physical attack on the property of a railroad corporation in Long Island, ripping up its tracks with his own hands, smashing its fences with a broad ax and gaining for himself the sobriquet of the "battle-ax mayor." Though his powers were curtailed by the incorporation of Long Island City into Greater New York, he remained active in public affairs, and even at the time of his death men were discussing what he would do in the next primaries. A Natural Fighter. Born in Tipperary, Ireland, April 15, 1844, he came to this country at the age of 15 and worked in a brewery. It is said that on the day of his arrival in this country he got into a fight with two volunteer firemen and whipped both. When the civil war broke out he was one of eight brothers who went to the front. He was 6 feet 2 inches in height and the smallest of the lot, his twin brother Philip being 6 feet 7 inches tall. During the war he was somewhat slender, but in later years took on flesh and weighed 250 pounds. His war record was a good one, his giant frame always appearing where the fighting was the thickest. At the close of the war he engaged in the distilling business and made a fortune in a few years. While in this business he was charged with defrauding the government out of $415,000, but was C. EX-MAYOR GLEASON. acquitted. In 1872 he entered politics, running for assembly, and was defeated. He had spent all his money and took the defeat so much to heart that he started for California. On the way he was shipwrecked off the coast of Mexico. Reaching San Francisco he sold a distiller's secret to a brewer for $5,000 and upon this foundation built a fortune of $20,000, serving beef under contracts to institutions. Street Railroad Magnate Returning to Long Island, he secured a contract to build a street railroad. He worked with a pick and ax with a gang of men building the road, and when it was completed he drove the first car over it, and continued to do this until he could afford to put more cars on the road. He acted not only as driver, but as conductor, starter, cashier, treasurer, president and repairer of the line. He had one car and three horses. Afterward he became president of the company. He continued to extend his railroad enterprises until he owned several lines in Long Island City. His Political Career. Early in the '80s, when he was elected alderman, began Gleason's career as the most dominant force in Long Island City politics. He caused an investigation of city affairs, in consequence of which the mayor was arrested and the city treasurer committed suicide, while Gleason was hailed as a public benefactor. In 1887 he was elected mayor. The city's affairs were in a wretched condition. Its treasury was empty, its school teachers, the police and other city officials were in some cases two years in arrears for salary. There was no fire department, no street or gas fund, and the civic credit was gone. In a short time Mayor Gleason changed all this; he straightened out the tangles in every department of the city's government, and from the verge of bankruptcy the city was restored to a solid financial basis. He established a paid fire department, built school houses and an excellent water supply system, wiped out the floating debt and reduced the tax rate, which was at one time as high as six per cent. Fighting Street Railroads Next to Gleason's fight against Mayor De Bevoise the struggle of his life was with the Long Island Railroad company, which had closed up various city streets with gates and sheds. It was the big mayor's custom to sally out ax in hand and chop down these obstructions himself. On one occasion he armed the entire police force with axes, and made a clean sweep of all the railroad property which he thought was on city lands. For five years, too, he fought the Standard Oil company, and though he made a determined stand he was finally forced to admit that the undertaking was too much, even for the champion of fighting mayors. But he kept right on fighting telephone, telegraph and lumber companies; he fought Union College, which is Protestant, and Calvary cemetery, which is Catholic, and he fought the ferry companies, reducing the fare from four to three cents. After being mayor for two consecutive terms of three years each Gleason was defeated in 1892 by Sanford. He wouldn't admit the defeat, though—that wasn't his way—but remained in possession of city hall until January 20, 1893, when the police, acting under an order from the court, ejected him. He was elected again in 1895 and served until consolidation wiped Long Island City, as a separate municipality, off the map. MISSISSIPPI RIVER DISASTERS. The recent loss on the Mississippi at Brunkhorst, Ill., of the steamship City of Paducah calls attention to other dreadful tragedies on the mighty father of waters. Since the beginning of 1837 there have been 43 disasters in which great loss of life resulted. On Oct. 29 of that year the Monmouth exploded its boiler and became a total wreck. It had on board 480 emigrant Creek Indians, 234 of whom were drowned. Shortly after the General Brown ran upon a snag and sank, losing 60 lives. The De Soto, Nov. 15, 1844, collided with the Buckeye and lost 60 lives. In 1849 the Louisiana, while racing, exploded its boiler and lost by burning or drowning 100 lives. June 18, 1858, the Pennsylvania raced and exploded, losing 100 lives. Later in the same year the Ben Lewis exploded while racing and lost 35 lives. June 24, 1860, the Miami just after it had left Cairo exploded its boiler, killing in the fire or water 150 passengers. Near the same place, a little below Cairo, Oct. 27, 1869, the Stonewall burned in broad day, causing the loss of 200 passengers. The whole number of the lives that were lost in the 43 terrible steamboat disasters is 1,760. This number does not represent, probably, one-quarter of the actual total of the losses of human life in the hundreds of minor accidents on the "father of waters" in the last 60 years. SCARED BY RUSSIA. Norway and Sweden Alarmed Over Possible Muscovite Designs. Norway and Sweden are suffering from a Russian scare. The people fear that the Russianizing of Finland is only a preparatory step to making the Scandinavian peninsula feel the claws of the northern bear. The first step to this would be the massing of Russian troops in Finland. This may take place sooner than most people expect. The ground has been prepared carefully and from the crushing of a subject nation Russian activity in Finland may grow into a direct menace to two independent kingdoms, changing from a domestic tragedy to an affair of grave international concern. The population of Sweden and Norway is only about 7,000,000, as compared to Russia's 136,000,000. The standing army of Sweden and Norway amounts to less than 60,000 men, as compared with Russia's standing army of 896,000. To seize upon the Scandinavian peninsula, thus commanding the entrance into the Baltic and making that body of water practically a closed sea, and to have Norway and Sweden to draw upon for seamen for her navy and merchant marine, would add immensely to the preponderance of Russia in Europe and increase her power more than any other single conquest the armies of the Czar ever made. Prussia to Husband Her Coal. As a measure of self-preservation Prussia, it is reported, will nationalize some of her coal lands. The radical legislation to that end will not be, however, on Henry George's line of confiscation. A fair price will be paid to the present owners. The state will thus acquire sufficient fuel to operate the most important railways and it will work the mines on a system of the utmost justice to the miners. The step, if taken, will be the first official confession that Prussia feels the approaching diminution of the British coal deposits, a fear emphasized by the suggestion in high quarters that an export duty be put on German coal to keep it at home. President Loubet a Literary Man. President Loubet of France is a literary man. He has read enormously, and because of his habit of early rising, quite common among country people, even at the Elysees palace, he finds time to read; and not only read newspapers, but the reviews and books. He reads quickly, seizes well the gist of a writing, criticizes fairly, and in consequence gets much profit from his reading. Besides that, he is assisted by a fine memory, which not only recalls to him what he has read, but also every scene through which he has passed. In that way he has accumulated a vast experience relating to men and things. Spanish Stoves. In many parts of Spain the "stove" in general use is made from an empty petroleum oil can, by cutting a hole near the bottom on one of the sides to make a draft, the can being lined with gypsum to the pleasure of the constructor, giving the fire space accordingly. The stove thus made, primitive as it is in its appearance, is effective in purpose and costs the equivalent of but a few cents of our money. The grape has more sugar in it than any other fruit, nearly 15 parts in 100 being sugar. The peach has least, only $1 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent. ```markdown ``` Rock of Ages, Cleft for Mel The great hymns of the world that have touched the hearts of many thousands have usually been the expression of a vital individual experience. They have not been written as mere pieces of literary composition; they have been the crystallizing of personal sorrow, personal 'aith, or personal realization. They have been the summing up of years of hop and struggle, focused in an instant expression, as the century plant sures up vitality for decades to be evidenced at last in a sudden flowering. The circumstances that inspired some of our great devotional hymns must deepen the interest in both the song and the singer and reveal that mighty kinship of human souls, that divine sympathy, that confers deathless fame on a few simple verses, soul-biographies living in song. This greatest of hymns was written in 1775 by Rev. Augustus Toplady, a very learned English divine, who died at the early age of thirty-eight. The hymn has the rare, wondrous spiritual ecstasy he revealed in his daily life. In his last illness he said: "I cannot tell the comforts that I feel in my soul; they are past expression. It will not be long before God takes me; for no mortal man can live after the glories which God has manifested to my soul." The marble tablet over his grave says: He Wrote "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me." The Sweet By and By. In 1867 this hymn, known as "The Sweet By and By," was written at Elkhorn, Wis., by S. Fillmore Bennett, who was associated with J. P. Webster in arranging a new collection of hymns,Webster was nervous,sensitive and easily discouraged. One day, when very blue, he went into B en nett's A woman playing the piano. office, and when asked "What's the matter, now?" answered "It is no matter, it will all be right by and by." The idea flashed into Bennett's mind, as he then expressed it, was " 'The Sweet By and By!' Why wouldn't that make a good hymn?" Turning to a table he at once wrote the words; Webster jotted down the music as if inspired. Half an hour later two musical friends entered the room and it was sung by the quartet. Nearer, My God, to Then. Of the many hymns written by Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, the only one that has survived is this hymn, based on the Bible story of Jacob's vision at Bethel, the imagery of which narrative it follows most faithfully. It first appeared in a volume called "Hymns and Anthems," published in 1841. The chief criticism made against this hymn is that it does not mention a Savior. Rev. A. T. Russel added a stanza covering this lack, but the new lines are rarely used and they never became popular. Jesus, Lover of My Soul. One day Charles Wesley was sitting by an open window, looking over the beautiful fields, when he saw a little bird pursued by a hawk. The poor thing, weak and frightened, in seeking to escape from its enemy, flew into the room and found refuge in Wesley's bosom. As the poet was then in great trouble and needed the safety of a refuge, the consolation of help from a higher power than his own, the incident seemed to him a divine message. The all work and no play woman soon becomes scarcely more than a machine, a machine that too often runs without the wheels being greased—in a hard, grinding, squeaking way, requiring much more strength and time than if a little lubrication had been given in the shape of occasional pleasant moments matched by the ways, says the Jacksonville Times-Union. There is one thing certain; it is better to try and be content with little, doing without some things that we may have a great desire for, than to so wear our- and, thus inspired, he wrote the famous hymn. In October, 1864, Allatoona Pass, a defile in the Mountains of Georgia, was guarded by General Corse with 1,500 men. It was a strong strategic point and, moreover, a million and a half of rations were stored there. Fresich, the southern general, with 6,000 men, attacked the garrison and drove the defenders into a small fort on the crest of the hill. The battle was fierce; the northern soldiers fell in such numbers that further fighting seemed folly. But one of Corse's officers caught sight of a white signal flag fluttering in the breeze on the top of Kenesaw Mountain, across the valley, fifteen miles away. The signal was answered, and then came the inspiring message from mountain to mountain: "Hold the fort; I am coming.—W. T. Sherman." Cheer after cheer went up, and though hopelessly reduced in numbers they did hold the fort for hours until the advance guard of Sherman's army came to their relief. Six years later, P. P. Bliss, the evangelist, heard the story in all its vivid detail from a soldier friend, and then wrote the words and music of this famous hymn. On Whit Sunday, 1819, Dr. Shipley, an English clergyman, was to preach a missionary sermon. On the day preceding, Dr. Shipley requested his son-in-law, Bishop Reginald Heber, to write "something for them to sing in the morning." Heber retired from the table, around which a group of friends were assembled, and in a corner of the room wrote this hymn at one sitting. Artificial Silk The manufacture of artificial silk, it is reported, has become quite a thriving industry in Germany, although it seeems there are only certain purposes for which it can be used, but still these are very numerous. The output of the Elberfield district alone, it is said, amounts to $125,000 monthly. Certain disadvantages connected with the product, among which is its highly inflammable character, having acted as a deterrent to its manufacture, but an improvement in the process has recently come into use in France which avoids most of these disadvantages. According to this method dry nitrocellulose, india-rubber solution and a salt of tin, preferably stannous chloride, are mixed together in the proportions of 100 pounds of the first to 7 pounds of the second and 5 pounds of the last. To this a suitable solvent, like benzine, is added in such quantity as will bring the mixture to the desired consistency. Lemon Juice of Barrooms Now that the sale of a bogus lemonade has been forbidden by law, it would be interesting to know what action would follow an investigation of the compound used as lemon juice in many of the barrooms that pretend to be of the first rank and are entitled to a place in that category so far as their prices can put them there. The mixture commonly used in drinks requiring lemon juice possesses only one quality of the real thing. It is sour, but it suggests the fruit in no other particular and tastes of foreign ingredients too strongly to deceive the most inexperienced.—New York Sun. selves out body and spirit in their attainment that we lose the power of enjoyment; too tired to care for anything. So the wise woman, though, like the woman in the Bible, she rises "while it is yet night," she yet makes sure of a little time every day—perhaps not more than a half hour—which is her very own, and with which stranger or friend "intermeddleth not." Fools and sensible men are equally innocuous. It is in the half fools and half wise that the greater danger lies.—Goethe. THE MOST TRAGIC RETREAT IN HISTORY. In the Mountain Passes and on the Plains of Afghanistan, 16,000 People Perished During the English Retreat from Cabul. The news that has lately come from Cabul is anything but encouraging to the British connections in the land of the great Ameer and recalls an event which took place in that country in 1841-2 and in which British soldiers took a most wretched part. The winter of the years named was cruel and severe in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan. Wild storms swept over the mountains. The deep passes were banked with snow and the streams were locked in ice: In the breakness and desolation of this awful winter the withdrawal from Cabul of the English forces and dependents was determined upon. Akbar Khan had made himself the military ruler of the province. Shah Soojah was powerless to aid the soldiers who had restored him to the throne. The British Gen. Macnaghten had been murdered and his mutilated body displayed in the bazars of Cabul. The English were disheartened and ready to submit to any terms by which they might succeed in reaching India. The agreement which Akbar Khan had made with Gen Macnaghten was renewed and the surrendered garrison was to have a military escort to insure its safety during the retreat. Accordingly the evacuation of Cabul commenced. The remnant of the British army, with its Indian allies, which but a few months before had overpowered and banished Shah Dost Mahomed, was now in the power of Akbar Khan, the deposed ruler's son. The retreating body could not be called an army. It numbered fully 16,000 people, of which not more than 6,000 were British soldiers. There were fully 10,000 camp followers of all kinds, including many women and children. Lady Macnaghten, widow of the murdered envoy; Lady Sale, whose gallant husband was holding Jellabad at the northern end of Khyber Pass, Mrs. Sturt, her daughter, soon to mourn the death of her young SIR ROBERT SALE. husband; Mrs. Trevor and her seven children and many other equally pitiable fugitives went forth from Cabul with the chaotic rabble. The Awful Pass of Koord Cabul. After leaving Cabul the unfortunate travelers marched for two days over ice and snow-covered roads to the pass of Koord Cabul through which they had to make their way in order to leave the country. This pass is a great narrow gorge which extends through grim and lofty mountain ranges. It is so deep that in the winter season the rays of the sun can hardly pierce its darkness at noonday. Through this frightful chasm dashes a torrent so fierce that the stern frost of even that winter could not stay its waters. The rocks which extended above the masses of snow were slippery with the frozen breath of the torrent. Into this awful gateway of the mountains the miserable host of fugitives passed. Soon the white snow became splashed with blood and the sullen mountains echoed the shrleks of many unfortunates as they slipped from the ice-covered boulders and were dashed to death by the freezing mountain torrent. Even in the summer the passage of this gorge is considered dangerous. What could it have been in the heart of such a rigorous winter; Then, to the awful dangers with which nature had surrounded the rote of the fugitives, add the cruelty of a guerilla warfare. At every step of the road, from every opening of the rocks, bands of savage fanatics with guns and long knives were murdering all they could reach. The English soldiers, weak and crippled by frost, could make only a poor fight against the savage Afghans. All along the way a constant battle raged. The escort which had been promised gave no protection. The natives were perfectly familiar with the country and they would rush forward, murder and retire as suited their tactics. The great body of retreating humanity was helpless and practically defenseless in that sullen pass of death. Men, women and children, horses, camels, the wounded, the dying and the dead were all crowded together amidst the snow, ice and relentless enemies. Three thousand Men Fall. In this pass of Krood Cabul, it is said that at least 2,000 men fell under the fire of the navage Alghans or dropped paralyzed and exhausted to be slaughtered by the long knives. Gen. Elphinstone, was in command of the fugitives, assisted by Brig. Shelton. While going through the Krood Cabul Pass, Akbar Khan, who had promised an escort, constantly appeared on the scene of terror. It is said that he tried to protect the unfortunate band, but with his force of only a few hundred horsemen he was utterly incapable of doing so. However this may be, it is probable that the misery and sufferings of the fugitives gave him more pleasure than pain, but his occasional appearance served some good purpose, for it seemed to give the English a temporary hope of protection. The straggling remnant of the army was slowly moving southward when Akbar Khan appeared and made the startling proposition that the women and children should be handed over to his custody to be conveyed in safety by him to Peshawar. There was no alternative but to submit and finally the husbands of the married women were permitted to accompany their wives. Although this surrender of helpless women to a dreaded enemy seemed cruel at first, later events proved it to be a most fortunate occurrence. The women and children could never have endured the horrors of the journey which yet lay before the fugitives. The march was resumed and the scenes of carnage and death were renewed. Trails of blood and scores of corpses marked the way. Again Abkar Kahn presented himself to the British commander. He feared the English force at Jellalabad near the northern entrance to Khyber Pass. It will be remembered that in the early negotiations at Cabul one condition of the surrender was the withdrawal of the English from Jellalabad. To in sure the carrying out of this agreement Akbar Khan now insisted that Gen. Elphinstone, his second in command, and one other officer should surrender themselves to his as hostages. He promised that if this were done to exert himself more than ever to restrain the fanatical tribes and to provide the retreating body with provisions. Again there was submission and the English general and his subordinates became, with the women and children, captives in the hands of the Afghan chieftain. Massacre of Jugdulluk Pass. Without a general the army of confused and dejected humanity resumed the tragic journey. The Jugdulluk Pass lay before it. This gorge, like the Koord Cabul, was dark, steep and narrow, but not so long. Hopeful of soon passing through it, the fugitives entered. They were entrapped. The implacable Afghans had barricaded the gloomy defile and herein the army of Cabul was forced to make its final stand and herein it was almost completely exterminated. The savage fanatics fell upon the fugitives, who fought with the desperation of doomed men but who at last were shot and stabbed to death. The gorge was piled with heaps of the slain and the mountain torrent ran red with blood. Only a few members of the retreating rabble escaped from the slaughter. While on the road to Jelalabad, where Sale and his little garrison were holding their own, the small remnant of fugitives was set upon and all but six were killed. During the remaining 10 miles of the journey to the fort, five of this number were killed by marauderes and one man, Dr. Brydon alone escaped. The One Solitary Survivor. Haggard, faint and reeling on his horse this one solitary survivor appeared under the walls of Jelalabad. He, alone, bore the tidings of the most thrilling tragic and disastrous retreat in the history of warfare. Before Dr. Brydon's arrival the garrison at Jellalabad had received an intimation that it was to abandon the fort and march into India. Gen. Sale flatly refused to carry out any such agreement, made, as he said, by men with knives at their throats. Akbar Khan besieged the place, but was finally defeated and driven away. This was the turning point in the war. The English were soon afterward in possession of Cabul again and strange as it may seem restored Dost Mahomed to the throne. Hestares and Cantives Restored. Hostages and Captives Restored. After the British had regained possession of Cabul Gen. Pollock, who was now in command, insisted that an effort should be made to rescue the prisoners and hostages who were in the hands of Akbar Khan. Gen. Sale, the husband of Lady Sale and the hero of Jellalabad, was assigned to this noble duty. His task was not as difficult as he expected. The fortunes of Akbar Khan had waned and the captives were in charge of one of his soldiers who had no desire to follow his chief in defeat. The English prisoners accordingly bribed him to escort them to Gen. Pollock's camp. On the way they were met by Gen. Sale and his command. The joy of the rescued prisoners was indescribable. They had almost despaired of ever being united with their friends and loved ones again. Nails in Shoes Cause Explosion. Workmen in American gunpowder factories are not allowed to wear steel or iron nailed shoes for fear the possible friction may cause an explosion, but this precaution does not seem to be followed in certain factories abroad. A report on a recent explosion in a gunpowder factory in Chilworth, England, shows that it was due to one of the outside workmen, who was carrying a barrel of powder to the corning house, slipping on the track of the hand railway. He wore hobnailed shoes, and contact with the rails caused a spark, which ignited some powder which had fallen from the barrel. The result was the death of six men and the injuring of one other. The woman who has pretty foot is not aut to wear ugly shoes. WONDERFUL GEYSERS OF YELLOWSTONE PARK. No Other Region in the World Abounds The most wonderful scenery in the world is in Yellowstone National Park, the great natural curiosity shop of the universe. Nowhere else, within equal bounds, are found so many natural wonders grouped, almost as if by design, for the special convenience of sight-seers. The wonders of the Alps and the Himalayas, could they be gathered together and compressed into an equal space, could not hope to rival in grandeur, in variety nor in number, the attractions of the Yellowstone. Were all the attractions except the geysers removed, the region would still be famed world wide, drawing nature lovers from all countries to witness the exhibitions of unequalled power of these matchless giants, which, with a roar that may be heard long distances, spout huge columns of seething water high into the air, sustaining them there for varying lengths of time. Old Faithful, with a regularity that begot its name, at intervals of 65 to 75 minutes, sends up a huge column of water 150 feet into the air, remaining active for four minutes. Giant, with a deafening roar, spouts 250 feet every third day for 90 minutes, while Giantess, at longer intervals and with slightly less power, maintains activity for twelve hours at a stretch. Many others, at intervals ranging from five minutes to several days, spout water to varying heights, remaining active for periods ranging from one second to an hour or more. In all, there are thirty-three members of this interesting Geyser family of sufficient importance to deserve special mention. Twenty-eight of these are in Upper basin, and when several of them, with their rainbow tints, spouting at once, the scene is indescribable. Other scenes of grandeur that abound in favored mountainous regions pass in endless review before the enchanted tourist, all sense of fleeting time being lost in their admiration. Travel to the park, following improved transportation facilities, has greatly increased in recent years. Leaving the Oregon Short Line at Monida, Montana, after a pleasant ride through changing scenes from Salt Lake City, comfortable stage coaches run to and through the park, making the trip at easy stages in five days, four of which are spent among nature's wonders, and the other among delightful scenery. Good hotels are conveniently located in the park for sight-seers, where one may stay indefinitely, at very reasonable cost. A Comprehensive Trip.

A person whose stomach and bowels are kept clean and whose liver is lively, and blood pure, is safe against yellow fever, or any other of the dreadful diseases that desolate our beautiful land. Some of the cleanest people outside are filthiest inside, and they are the ones who not only "catch" the infections, but endanger the lives Roadster for Governor Barnes.

Of old there was society, to-day we have only crowds. To see peril saves neither a man nor a nation; the abyss attracts. What is public opinion? An echo, for every man, of his own opinion. In a country where everybody wishes to be somebody, nobody is anybody. Laws should be simple and short; one walks impeded in too long a robe. In the midst of public perturbations, the most sensitive barometer is money. The lost rights we find hardest to regain are those we used least when we had them. Parties group themselves as much by their common dislikes as by their mutual affinities. Politics is often a means of revenue without capital, a professsion without apprenticeship. The socialists of yesterday proclaimed the right to work, those of to-day the right to rest. We can judge of the progress of politics and religion in society by the depth of the divisions they create. Not to lose sight of the ideal aim in the midst of the tortuosities of the real world, this alone is high politics. High place is a pedestal, he who occupies it must be like a statue—loom larger than nature, so as not to appear small. The arguments of our party paper are like the compliments of our friends. We don't believe them, but they give us pleasure. Monarchy and republic are words, forms. There is nothing real but Oligarchy, the exploitation of all by a few—in the name of one or ten thousand. Our democratic governments tend to unite the omnipotence and the irresponsibility of the monarchies of old; divine right has been displaced only to descend. I love justice when it strengthens my weakness; I love it less when it limits my strength.—From the French of Gustave Vaperau. RAM'S HORNS' BLASTS. Dirt will only stick to dirt. It takes brass to get brass. No telescope ever created a star. The divine can never be inhuman. Terminology has often terminated truth. Almost every profane word is a prayer. Policy is prudence prevailing over principle. You cannot trust the man who cannot trust God. No man lives for Christ till he has died with Him. The sunlight of yesterday is preserved in the flowers of to-day. Every bumble bee thinks he knows how to build the eagle's nest. God does not count the cash put in so much as that kept out of the collection. The word of the saint ought to be better security than the bond of the sinner. There has been but one hand that could save the world because there is but one heart that could embrace it. STAGE WHISPERS. Mary Hampton has been engaged for the leading role in "Human Spiders." Sardou's "Theodora" is being played in popular price theaters under the title of "Theodora's Race for Life." Among next season's stars will be Amella Summerville, who will appear in a play called "What Shall We Do With Her?" Manager Ben Stern says "this is the most successful and profitable season that Blanche Walsh has had since she became a star. Sarah Bernhardt is the silent partner of her niece and another young woman in a projected millinery shop for London, and she looks upon the project as a sort of relaxation. Fred E. Wright, so long identified with the management of the late Charles Hoyt's comedy successes, has signed a contract with Arthur Sidman, controlling that very clever artist's services for three years, and next season will make an elaborate production of Mr. Sidman's new play, entitled, "York State Folks."

In the royal household of England a candle once extinguished may never again be relighted within the precincts of the palace.

Boston owes $105.72 per inhabitant; Montreal owes $92; Cincinnati owes $82.65. Other American and Canadian cities owe less. In the Brookfield (Mo.) white schools the sexes are represented by exactly the same number. There are just 695 each of the boys and girls. Hendrik Van Ziji, a Boer by birth and sympathy, has just been elected president of the Cambridge, England, University union. Sir Thomas Lipton says he has not been to the theater twelve times in his life, Gardening and yacht-racing are his favorite diversions. Peter Postell, the richest negro in the south, died recently, at Hopkinsville, Ky. He was 60 years old and in his youth was a slave. His estate is estimated at $500,000. Fifty-three years of service in the counties is the record of John M. Wolf of Hanover, Pa. In that period he has been absent from his post of duty three and one-half days. In a recent interview Bjornson declared that Europe consists of two races—the French and the others. "France," said he "has surrounded herself with a Chinese wall." Emil Mayot of Cunel is the smallest conscript in the army of France. Although over 23 years old he is only 3 feet 10 inches in height and weighs but 48 pounds. He has been assigned to the drum corps. Emerson McMillin of New York has offered to donate to the Columbus, O., Art School a site valued at $30,000 and cash not to exceed $100,000 for the erection of an art museum, providing an equal amount is raised by the people of that city. Hiram P. Baldwin, Mayor of Roselle, N. J., who died recently, was until a short time ago general passenger agent of the Central Railway of New Jersey. He was in the employ of that railway for fifty years and was considered one of the best railway officials in the Eastern states. Prof. Seth K. Gifford of the department of Greek in Haverford College has been granted leave of absence for the year 1901-'02 and will spend the year in Germany, Sicily and Greece. During his absence his courses will be given by Dr. H. L. Ebeling of Johns Hopkins University. NEW HOUSEHOLD IDEAS. Oranges are sound and juicy when they are of good weight. They should not be too hard. Fruit should be a constant article of diet for the woman who freckles, and she should also remember the value of lemon as a bleach. Russian embroideries on linen or cotton, when done in the genuine gold and silver thread, will wash well. But rubbing is apt to injure them, and the embroidered part of the article cleaned should be rubbed with a brush in soap and water in which the whole article is washed. The material itself can be rubbed with the hands. Soft leather gloves may be washed in the following manner: Make a strong suds of any good white soap, and to two quarts of suds add one teaspoonful of borax dissolved in half a pint of hot water. When the mixture is cold put the gloves on the hands and wash as if washing the hands. Rinse, draw them off and hang to dry, but not in the sun. Work gently, as the wet leather stretches. When nearly dry pull them into shape. Macaroon cream makes a delicious dessert. Soak one tablespoonful of granulated gelatine in one-fourth cup of cold water. Make a custard of two cups of scalded milk, yolks of three eggs, one-third cup sugar, one-eighth teaspoonful of salt; add the soaked gelatine. When dissolved, strain, cool, add two-thirds of a cup of pounded macaroons, one teaspoon of vanilla, stir until the mixture begins to thicken then add the whites beaten until stiff and dry. Mold, chill and serve with whipped cream. SOME RANDOM SHOTS. Many people resemble glass—smooth, slippery and flat. To be without enemies is to be unworthy of having friends. Originality is simply a new way of expressing an old thought. All that is best and purest in a man is but the echo of a mother's benediction. If beauty is the first gift Nature gives to woman, it is also the first she takes from her. A man who lives in indifference is apt to be one who has never seen the woman he could love. Some people never accomplish anything because they have too much patience with themselves. Young men are very apt to tell what secrets they know from the vanity of having been trusted. Why should man, who is strong, always get the best of it and be forgiven so much, and woman, who is weak, get the worst and be forgiven so little?—Utica Globs. RECENT LEGAL DECISIONS. A person charged with crime has a constitutional right to have his case tried by a court having jurisdiction, holds the Supreme Court of Utah, in the case of State vs. Morrey (64 Pac. Rep., 764), and his mere silence or failure during the trial to object to the jurisdiction assumed by the court does not constitute a waiver of that right, or prevent him from raising the question at any subsequent stage of the proceedings, or after trial. Where a through passenger on a railway train, without objection by the company or its agents alights from the train at an intermediate station for any reasonable and usual purpose, such station being one for the discharge and reception of passengers, the Supreme Court of Minnesota, in the case of Lemery va. Great Northern Railway company ($5 N. W. Rep., 90$), holds that he does not cease to be a passenger and is entitled to the protection accorded to such by law. RENFROE BROS.

It is a crime to play progressive euchre in Georgia. So holds a grave and learned judge of a superior court of that section. His name is Fite, and he says he will live up to it until all the euchre players have been driven out of the business. As a consequence there is consternation among the votaries of the right and left bower. Judge Fite makes no distinction between the ladies and gentlemen who, attired in the height of Georgia fashion, meet in their drawing rooms and pass a pleasant evening at euchre, and the drooping mustached habitues of the "poker joint" in a different part of the town. "Playing euchre for prizes is a crime, 'mallum prohibitum,' to give the legal phraseology," says the Judge Fite. "In addition to that, it is a moral crime. I intend to break up the practice, as far as my influence extends." In pursuance of this policy, Judge Fite is "playing no favorites." He has called all his personal friends around him and remarked to them that they mustn't play euchre for prizes. He has instructed the grand jury to be unremittiting in its investigations, and to return true bills against all persons found playing at the prohibited game. He says he can find no legal precedent for suppressing gambling in one form and allowing it to flourish in a different guise. One of the principal industries of Slam is the teak lumber business. Teak is the most valuable lumber for shipbuilding in the world, says Consul General Hamilton, king of Bangkok. It does not yield to the influences of moisture and drought; it is not liable to the attack of borers and other insects; it does not split of sprawl, and, while it is a strong, durable wood, it is easy to work and very light in the water. As a beautiful dark-colored wood, susceptible of a very high degree of finish, it will continue to be in demand wherever fine finishing lumber is used in shipbuilding, and because of its peculiar qualities that resist the influences of iron when brought in close contact therewith, there is no substitute yet discovered as the backing for armor plates in vessels of war.

Cable, the author, admits that he once felt the need of prayer in his behalf. He has a daugter, an art student, living in a small apartment in New York somewhere in one of the 'way uptown streets. The young woman, it seems, did her own housework and to simplify matters procured one of those famous self-regulating stoves in which the food is placed in the morning and found properly cooked at the hour set for dinner without further attention from the occupant of the flat. Mr. Cable came down from Northampton, Mass., to pay his daughter a visit. After breakfast she prepared the dinner, placed it on the stove, set the indicator at 6 and told her father she would return from the studio in time for the meal. "Now papa, I hate to leave you, but you just make yourself comfortable," she said at the door. "Have the dinner on the table when I get home. I have put it over the stove and it will be cooked to a turn at 6 o'clock. You need not touch the stove. It is self-regulating and cooks automatically." Cable watched the apparatus curiously for awhile. Then he tried to read. The he watched again, then tried to read again. That new-fangled thing worried him. He got nervous and apprehensive, put on his hat and went out. When Miss Cable came home and found her father absent and no dinner on the table she was distressed. Could anything have happened? She hastened out and found him walking up and down the street. "I was so afraid of being blown up by that dreadful stove," he explained, "I found it impossible to stop in the house."—Chicago Chronicle. Cat and Dog Graveyards. The most curious cemetery is situated at Luxor, on the Nile. Here repose the mummified bodies of millions of sacred cats.

The proverbial bull in a china shop was equaled on Cincinnati's Walnut Hills recently by a cow in a barber shop. The Alderney was strolling up the street and suddenly became frightened and bolted through the open door of a firm's tonsorial parlors. Pat Griffin was seated in a chair as the cow entered head first, and he arose abruptly, swallowing a half-pint of lather. He ensconced himself behind the cup rack, while the cow deliberately horned into everything, upsetting chairs, and finally stood triumphantly bellowing, a choice assortment of towels on her horns. The Seventh district station was notified, and Patrolman Jakey Holzton appeared and gave a scientific twist to the bovine's tail. With a low moan the cow left abruptly, leaving Holzton and the barber pole mixed up on the sidewalk. A herd of sheep was being driven over Fourth street on the same morning. The woolly animals were timid and had a hard time to dodge the trolley cars and vehicles. The door of the Holland pen establishment, between Main and Walnut streets, stood invitingly open. It looked cool and dark inside the building and the bell sheep decided to investigate. He came bouncing through the door like a rubber ball, and when his resonant be-a-a rang out the clerks looked up in surprise. The other sheep from the street saw the tail of the leader whisk through the doorway, and with one accord they ran into the building. The clatter of hoefs, the bleating, the profanity of the herdsmen, and the little sreams of the lady clerks made a hubbub that was heard a block away. Finally the sheep was driven into the street, and with a sheepish look the attaches of the place resumed their duties.—Exchange. Rights of Depositors at Manila. Secretary Root has approved a statute of the Philippine commission which provides that a depositor in the banks of the Philippines, upon his request, shall be paid in the same kind of money which he deposits. The question arose through a complaint made by the people in the Philippines that when gold deposits were made the payments oftentimes were returned in silver.—Washington Star. T. CHICAGO.
