THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. TWO CRIMES COMPARED. The assassination of President William McKinley at Buffalo, New York, brings to mind the assassination of Postmaster Frazer B. Baker at Lake City, South Carolina. In the latter case, the nation was shocked, but it did not feel keenly the loss of one of its officials. The wave of condemnation ended with its exercise and the murderers were not punished, neither was the family of the victim cared for. Baker had committed no crime. He had discharged the duties of his office in his humble way. His demeanor was that of a servant of the public and the gave no one just cause for the prejudice against him. Kinley. In the comparison drawn the colored man, Baker, was the greatest sufferer. He was awakened in the dead hours of night to find his home in flames and all of his possessions disappearing. With wife and children, he groped his way to the door to be fired upon by anarchists, better known in the South as lynchers. Baker died almost instantly. McKinley lived eight days after the murderous attack. Baker had no time for prayer, no time for meditation. McKinley had time to whisper the Lord's prayer and he declared his resignation to the divine will. Baker was butchered with no one near to lend a helping hand or give a word of sympathy. McKinley was surrounded by the secret service officials and his ussailant had his nose broken by a colored man, named James B. Parker. Baker's murderers were white men. McKinley's murderer was a white man, and there is reason to believe as in Baker's case that other white men were implicated. Baker's murder attracted attention and awakened comment. McKinley's murder has done both, but the nation feels its loss as keenly as it is possible for a brother to part forever with a brother, the child with the parent and the idol of today with the loved ones of eternity. Would to God it were possible for the bereaved widow&the angel wife of the dead President, to appreciate fully the heart-throbs and anguish of the wife of Postmaster Baker. Her husband was assassinated, her infant murdered, another child crippled and herself malmed for life within the confines of her South Carolina home. We would to God that the nation could turn its outward eyes inward for a moment and, during its lucid intervals of its anguish realize the great calamity which befell that humble Negro in his attractive, but humble home. It is now reported that the expense of the funeral of McKinley will be borne by the national government. It is doubtful if enough of the remains of Baker were found to make a funeral. It is reported that a year's salary— ($50,000) fifty thousand dollars will be voted Mrs. McKinley. It is known that not even one month's salary, not even as much as ($30.00) thirty dollars were voted to Mrs. Baker. The country—the nation is doing the proper thing by President McKinley and his lone widow. Did it do the proper thing by Mrs. Baker and her suffering children? There are hundreds of Bakers who have been the victims of the anarchists of the Southland. Will the nation awaken to a full sense of its responsibility—a full realization of its duty? Will it ever learn that it cannot tolerate lawlessness in one section of the national domain, without ultimately feeling its blighting effect in the other section of the same country? Will it ever understand that a blow at the humblest citizen will as the yearn come and go react upon the person of the greatest? If the death of President McKinley tends to emphasize these truths, then he will not have died in vain. The execution of his murderer affords some satisfaction to the revengeful; but the puny life offered up in atonement for the heinous crime is but an atom as compared with the greatness of the man whom he has slain. According to the theory of our government, McKinley was but a man, but as a matter of fact he held in his hands the vital interests of the nation. Leon Czolgosz is a national criminal. The sooner he and his kind are wiped from the earth the better it will be for those who remain upon it. One thing is certain, an anarchist in New York is just as bad as an anarchist in South Carolina, and the hanging or electrocuting of them in either one of the states or throughout the entire country will afford satisfaction to all right-thinking people throughout the civilized world.—The Planet, Richmond, Va. WHAT J. P. M. STANDS FOR. If our readers will study between the lines and spell Rothschild wherever Morgan's name appears they will soon find a solution of many puzzles which may uncover the mystery of the greatest enigma of time. Sixty years ago the name British Empire had come to mean "The House of Rothschild." Since then it has ruled absolutely over all British councils. When, during the last years of the sixth decade of the past century the London Times boldly declared that this nation must be overthrown unless it recedes from its use of greenbacks, and its policy later was as hostile to silver the lesson should never have been forgotten. The Chinese difficulty was fermented by that house also in order to bring the four hundred millions of Chinese under their gold standard. Of all the devils that ever fell to Hell Mammon was "the least erected," the meanest, cruelest, most cunning. Mammon has become this world's god and his high priesthood in the House of Rothschild. And our government is now their veriest serf. The present strike is all a development of their policy to bring down prices and all labor under foot. Mammon is bound to triumph, too. The armed forces of this nation are under its orders. HOLT. Right Rev. James Theodore Holly, Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the Republic of Hayti, and Rt. Rev. Samuel D. Ferguson, Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the Republic of Liberia, Africa, was in Chicago on Tuesday last on their way to the Pacific Coast. They were met at the depot by Representative John G. Jones, a member of the Legislature of Illinois, and entertained by him during their stay in Chicago. Bishop Holly and Bishop Ferguson speak in glowing terms of the advancement and progress of the colored people in Africa and Hayti. The colored people in Hayti will, in 1904, celebrate their centennial of independence as a republic, and a large number of prominent colored men from all parts of the world will attend the centennial celebration. NOTICE. The second annual meeting of the Illinois State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will be held at Peoria on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 10 and 11. Every club in the state is urged to send one or more of its best women to report on the work of the club, to discuss important matters relative to our best interests, to devise ways and means for the betterment of the race. Ech woman to bring the matured fruit of her best thought for our help, to work with unselfish interest toward the development of the highest and best that is In us. The coming together of our earnest, thoughtful women for counsel once a year cannot but be helpful not only to the state organization but to the individual clubs as well. All women who are thus interested are requested to meet at Quinn Chapel Sunday afternoon, Sept. 28 at 4 o'clock. ```markdown ``` Much to the regret of the tax-payers of this city Mr. Ryan relinquished the duties of his office last Monday, and he has the distinction of being the first and only person who ever succeeded himself as city attorney of Chicago.

It is not necessary to reason about that staement, because feeling runs with judgment in the acknowledgment of its truth. After all, it is the people who are to blame. Trusts are fostered, grow fat and fatter because the public permits it. EASY DIVORCE AND LOOSE MORALITY. (Milwaukee Sentinel.) The growing tendency to look upon marriage as a temporary bond which can be thrown off or assumed at will is the logical result of loose divorce laws and the increasing tendency to imitate the customs of the fast sets abroad. It is high time for persons of all classes to protest against the general laxity of morals that is seen to exist in present day society. Public sentiment is on the right side, and it is important that the old traditions which once guarded the American household should be revived. LYNCHING AKIN TO ANARCHY. (Indianapolis Times.) Lynching is a species of anarchy, as no reasonable man can deny. It defies law, it often dispenses with testimony and flouts at justice. It subserves no good end in that it does not prevent the crimes it seeks to avenge. It has nothing to do with justice, for revenge is its vital principle and outrage its exponent. James B. Parker, the Negro whom it is said by the press at the time, rushed upon Czolgosz and prevented him from firing the third shot into the body of President McKinley, lectured at Rochester, N. Y., last Sunday, and he said that if "others wanted to rob him of that honor he had no complaint to make, that he would live without it; that up to last Sunday he had only received two dollars, which was given to him by a white Democrat residing in St. Louis, Mo." Ed. Cooper, Washington, D. C., refers to "an advertising concern at Decatur, Ill., as being a fake." We had no idea that there were greater dead beats or fakers living than Ed. Cooper, who defrauds newspapers out of their advertising money so he can shoot and sing seven-come-eleven. Pretty Dog Cooper is the last person in the world who ought to talk about honesty, fake advertising or fakers, for he is the greatest faker of the age. CHIPS.

Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Cordella Lee to Mr. John H. Coppage, on Thursday evening, Oct. 10, 1901, at 8:30 p. m. The ceremony will be performed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Harris, 4764 Armour avenue. The Phyllis Wheatly Club met Wednesday with Mrs. Rev. Gray, 164 West 47th street. An interesting report of the Buffalo Convention was read by Mrs. Agnes Moody. The election of new officers was deferred until the clubs next regular meeting. Terry R., Gillan, late assistant prosecuting attorney at the Harrison street station, died very suddenly the latter part of last week. His funeral occurred Tuesday, which was attended by Justice J. K. Prindiville and the leading politicians of the First Ward. Mrs. Cora Ellston Gray, wife of Edgar Gray, died at her home, 959 Fulton street, last Monday morning at 10 o'clock, after two weeks' illness. Her funeral took place from the home last Wednesday, Rev.

Mr. Burke is an up-to-date lawyer and an honor to his profession. Thomas P. Flynn, who is in charge of the headquarters of the Tilden Democracy in the Sherman House, lost his beloved mother on Tuesday, and Mrs. Flynn, who had many friends on the South Side, was buried from her late home, 63rd street and Madison avenue, on Thursday.

Bowen, and is one of the brightest women as well as one of the foremost educators of the South. Miss Bowen will address the club women at Quinn Chapel on Sunday afternoon. The public is invited. The Tilden Democracy of the Second Ward held a large meeting Monday night at Arlington Hall, 31st street and Indiana avenue. More than seven hundred Democrats were present, including such war-horses as ex-Mayor John P. Hopkins, Thomas Gahan, Justice Martin and William G. Graham. Many colorel men were in evidence and joined hands with the leaders of the Tilden Democracw of the Second Ward. George J. Terrell, the cheap gambler, is still running his Hy Henry Club, and when the police department gets through hunting anarchists for the big rich fellows they may be able to devote a little of their time to suppressing Terrell and his crap game, but Terrell says he "pays out his money for police protection, that the police will not nor they cannot pull his dive." If this is true then we are convinced that the police belonging at the 50th street police station like to stand in with black-legs and gamblers; that they are in favor of sheilding crime and protecting criminals. We also understand that one of the assistant prosecuting attorneys of Chicago runs in and out of Terrell's joint as though he was going to and returning from church. Attorney 8. F. Moseley scored many good points while he was engaged in addressing the South End Sunday Club. His theme, "What is the best thing for the Negro to do for his advancement and success in this country," was well received. He dealt out many sledge-hammer blows against jack-leg preaches and that class of Negroes who think they can be dishonest and at the same time jump into religion without working or growing into it. He declared that he was opposed to maintaining churches for black men, yellow men, red men, or white men, but he favored the churches or the church which invited all men, regardless of the color of their skin, to come and worship within its walls. He contended that if all Christians are going to the same heaven, let them all worship in the same churches and if God feels it will be his duty to keep the races apart in heaven them he would take no stock in that kind of a god. To this we say, amen. Later on the saints belonging to the church will discuss Brother Moseley's paper. JOHN E. OWENS, THE NEW CITY ATTORNEY OF CHICAGO. The announcement the first of the present week that Hon. A. J. Ryan would retire, or abdicate his office as City Attorney of Chicago on or about the middle of October, caused much excitement and commotion among the office seekers and politicians around the city hall. Rumors flew thick and M. B. fast as to who would be chosen to fill the very important and responsible position made vacant by the unexpected resignation of Mr. Ryan, who from his induction into the office performed all of the duties pertaining thereto honestly and fearlessly. As Monday evening wore on all the members of Mayor Harrison's kitchen cabinet—statesmen and politicians—breathed a sigh of relief when they had ascertained that his honor, the mayor, had decided to unite upon Mr. John E. Owens, who has for some time been first assistant prosecuting attorney to succed Mr. Ryan. By this time all the readers of The Broad Ax are somewhat familiar with the career of John E. Owens, who was born in this great city some twenty-five years ago. He received his early education, or training, at St. Patrick's Academy. His oratorical powers were successfully developed at the Soper School of Oratory, and in time Mr. Owens graduated with high honors from the law department of the Lake Forest University. He became one of the bright members of the Chicago bar in 1897, at the age of 21, and immediately thereafter in connection with his brother Thomas H. Owens, he engaged in the practice of law, their law offices being located on the sixth floor of the Ashland Block. On March 1, 1900, the law firm of Owens & Owens, dissolved, John E. Owens retaining the offices and succeeding to the business of the firm. Mr. Owens became assistant prosecuting attorney in 1898, and possessing a well-trained legal mind he was placed in charge of the equity branch of the Prosecuting Attorney's office and remained in that position until Jan. 1, 1901, then he was selected as first assistant prosecuting attorney. Chicago's new city attorney is well connected, his parents are highly respected and are among the oldest inhabitants of this city. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias, the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Order of Foresters. He is also an influential member of the Democratic Committee of Cook County. So far cupids darts have not pierced Mr. Owens' warm heart, and it remains water and bullet proof against all the wiles and smiles of the handsome ladies, and he begins his duties as city attorney single-handed. With much pride The Broad Ax claims the honor of being the first newspaper in Chicago to mention the name of John E. Owens in connection with the city attorneyship, for we fully realized that Mr. Owens is broad- and liberal-minded, that he is friendly to the Afro-American race and that he possesses all the elements which are necessary to make a first-class city attorney. Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Farmers, Catholics, Protestants, Knights of Labor, Indians, Mormons, Republicans, Friends, or any else can have their say, so long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed. The Broad Ax is a newspaper whose platform is broad enough for all, ever claiming the editorial right to sneak its own mind. The annual importation of matting into the United States from China is estimated at 300,000,000 cubic yards. An international exhibition will be opened in August at Copenhagen for apparatus for the killing of rats, and several prizes will be offered for the best devices. The whole of an Italian regiment, which had been muneuvering between Naples and Mondragone, having been attacked by malaria, the minister of war has issued orders that all troops in that district are in future to wear vells and gloves to protect them from mosquitoes. The educational campaign against spitting begins to show encouraging results. A man who recently offended in a New York ferry boat suddenly realized that twenty pairs of eyes were regarding him as if he were a pickpocket. Greatly embarrassed, he flushed and slunk away to the men's cabin. Concentrated public disapproval seldom fails of its just effect. An iron chest, containing $4,000 in Spanish coins, was found recently while excavating in the Hennessin canal, twenty miles south of Sterling, Ill. The box was found ten feet from the surface of the earth. There was a large number of coins bearing the date of 1668 and others of probably an earlier date, but the figures could not be deciphered. Some of the coins were stamped with a crown and others a head. There was nothing to indicate whom the honor was bestowed upon. Mr. Berkout, formerly forester in the Dutch East Indies, recently gave some facts not generally known concerning India rubber and gutta-percha, which are often confused. The quality of elasticity distinguishes India rubber from gutta-percha. The latter is derived from one plant only, while India rubber is produced from more than sixty plants. Three-fourths of the gutta-percha of commerce comes from Sumatra and Borneo. Of the total annual production of India rubber nearly two-thirds comes from the Amazon valley, about one-third from Central Africa and one-twentieth from Asia. The total production of gutta-percha is about one-twentieth as great as that of India rubber. "Very few people really understand the care of an aquarium," says a Philadelphiaian who deals in fish. "The trouble with most people who go in for aquatic pets is that they kill them with kindness. A constant changing of the water is fatal. The supposition that fish need fresh water is all wrong; so is constant feeding with bread crumbs and things like that. The fish gain their sustenance from the water in which they live. Every aquarium requires plants, as they exude carbonic acid, which the fish require. If you have the proper amount of plants, regulated according to the size of the aquarium and the number of fish it contains, you will have a self-sustaining aquarium, and there will be no necessity for you to change the water." Science reverses the legal maxim "de minimus" and has an eye for the smallest things. Among such may be reckoned the paper submitted to the Royal Society on "the small vertical movements of a stone laid on the surface of the ground," by Horace Darwin. The investigations showed that a stone weighing about twenty pounds and about a foot and a half in diameter, which was placed on the surface of the ground a quarter of a century ago, gradually sank and is sinking. The stone sinks about the one-five hundredth of a yard in a year. The movement was not altogether regular, varying somewhat with the varying dampness of the soil. The effect of frost was to raise the stone; it fell rapidly during a thaw—a whole year's distance on one occasion in less than five hours. Down at Sparrows' Point, south of Baltimore, completed all but a few finishing touches, lies the great steel floating dry dock built by the Maryland Steel company, for the United States government, and which is to be towed to Algiers, La., as soon as the West India hurricane season has passed. That will be about Oct. 1 and several powerful ocean-going tugs will convey the huge dock to its destination. It is certain that this immense piece of marine mechanism for lifting great vessels out of water in order to clean or repair them is without a superior in its line, and it is doubtful whether it has an equal. It can raise a 15,000-ton battleship and have the floor of the dock two feet above the water, which is demanded by the government for its work, but with the floor even with the water-line it can lift an 15,000-ton ship. Death of a Nephew of the Great South American Liberator. When we turn our eyes through the lens of South American history and recall that bloody struggle for independence, we behold the shadows of many deathless heroes, whose steps along the corridors of time have left a trailing light of glory behind them. Such a cluster of noble patriots include Miranda, Paes, Sucre, Monagas, Bermudes, Falcon, Vargas, and Simon Bolivar, whose names will live in imperishable grandeur as long as the human heart can cherish deeds of valor and sentiments of unalloyed patriotism. But by far the most eminent and foremost man of that period and the one who infused his lofty individuality among all his followers, was General Simon Bolivar, who has ever since been known as the Libertador—the Washington of South America. And well has he won such fame, as the idol of his people, the admired hero of Europe and America, the conqueror of Spain, the liberator of half a continent, and the founder of five nations. By the strange fergiversations of Latin-American politics, and the rivalries and jealousies of smaller men, the great Libertador, within two years after his successes, found himself an exile—an outcast from the nations he had created. In the sadness and humiliation of exile he passed his days, dying at Santa Marta in 1830. A tardy reversion of national feeling succeeded, and twelve years later, his remains were brought back to Caracas, and amid the greatest pomp he was laid to rest in the pantheon of his native city. The last direct relative of the Libertador, bearing his family name, has just died in Caracas, at the extreme age of ninety-one years. He was Don Fernando Simon Santiago Bolivar y Palacios, the son of Colonel Juan Vicente Bolivar y Palacios, the only brother of General Bolivar (this brother being lost at sea while conducting a filibustering expedition during the patriot wars). Don Fernando lived until the time of his death in an unpretentious quarter of Caracas, in a very ordinary house, sparsely furnished, which could in no particular give an impression of the large wealth he is reputed to have left. He was extremely infirm, feeble and palsied, requiring constant attention, as his helplessness was so complete during the last years that his food had to be raised to his mouth by another. Through the influence of such physical weakness, long confinement, and the drooping energies and faculties of extreme old age, his mind was naturally weakened, and, as unfortunately often occurs with the aged, this beclouded condition was manifest in an intense bitterness against all who were directly or remotely related to him.—Venezuela Herald. The Campher Trot The camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) is an evergreen, a member of the laurel family, belonging to the same genus as the tree whose bark furnishes the spice called cinnamon, and is related to the bay and to the sassafras of the United States. Of symmetrical proportions, it is one of the noblest objects in the forests of eastern subtropical Asia. In its native habitat it attains gigantic dimensions, notably in girth of trunk, some specimens measuring ten to fifteen feet in diameter. It is said they have been known to reach as much as twenty feet, and they may be sixty to over 100 feet high, and live to a great age. As a rule they rise twenty or thirty feet without limbs, and then branch out in all directions, becoming a mass of splendid and luxuriant foliage. Their leaves, broadly lanceolate in form, are of a light green color, smooth and shining above, and whitish or glaucous on the under surface. Small white or greenish white flowers are borne from February to April, and by October ripen into berrylike, one-seeded fruits about three-eighths of an inch in diameter.—Good Words. Politics in the West, even more than in the East, says the author of "Life and Sport in California," is a profession. I remember two men who were candidates for the office of district attorney. One had served before; the other was a young man conducting his first campaign. The veteran was speaking in a small town and after setting forth his own claims, he spoke as follows of his opponent: "I understand that Mr. X. is in every sense a worthy and honorable man, but I ask you to remember that he has never been tried—he has never been tried." "That's so!" exclaimed a voice. "You've been tried, old man, haven't you? And convicted, too, you know!" After due inquiry it appeared that the veteran had been, in need, indicted for horsestealing, and convicted. He was not elected—Youth's Companion. Their Second Meeting. When Miss Swagger met Mr. Saphedde at the seaside she thought he was a millionaire and he permitted her to think so, although he was an humble clerk in a hotel at Skwedunk. On her return home, some weeks after his departure, it so happened that she stopped over night at the Skwedunk hotel. Her meeting with Mr. Saphedde was embarrassing to her until she said, "O, you didn't tell me you were a hotel proprietor." "No," he said, airily, "I own several hotels over the country, but I did not think they were hardly worth mentioning."—Ohio State Journal. There is a considerable demand for bicycles in Japan, and some auto- Including That of Miss Mass, the Nurse The Successful Work of Dr. Reed and the Bad Results from the Serum Cause of the Fever a Mystery. The death in Havana Sunday of Miss Clara A. Maas, a trained nurse from Newark, N. J., who was following her profession at Las Animas Hospital, was the third resulting from the experiments being made with mosquitoes by the yellow fever commission. The sacrifice of this young life in the cause of science—Miss Maas was 25 years old—directs attention to the work which has been done in Cuba toward the stamping out of the disease that formerly claimed so many lives. In this investigation in the cause of science there has been a remarkably display of heroism. The work has been carried on by the yellow fever commission, of which Dr. Walter Reed is president. The Cause of Yellow Fever has always been a mystery; and, indeed, it is a mystery today in a measure, since, although undoubtedly a disease of parasitic origin, the parasitic organism itself has not yet been discovered. Several times it has been that that it was found, and there are those investigators who today believe that the Bacillus iceroides of Sanarelli is the causative organism of the fever; while the English physician, Dr. Herbert E. Durham, who, with the late Dr. Walter Myers, was sent out by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine to Brazil, believes that in a small bacillus which they have frequently found in autopsies they have discovered the true germ. The proof brought by the American experiments that certain mosquitoes will transmit the disease, A. MISS CLARA A. MAAS. [Who yielded up her life in the cause of medical science.] however, renders both of these claims uncertain and probably incorrect. In fact, Dr. Reed denies that Sanarelli's bacillus has anything to do with yellow fever. The true parasite will be be discovered, without doubt, and it is to be hoped that the American army officers who have been responsible for such an extraordinary advance in our knowledge of the etiology of the dread disease may be the investigators to carry the work through to its fullest conclusions. The Experiments. During the autumn of 1900 an experimental sanitary station was established in the open, a mile from Quemados. Two houses were built, tightly constructed, with windows and doors protected by wire screens. In one of these houses, soiled sheets, pillow-cases, and blankets were used as bedding, and this bedding was brought straight from the beds of patients sick with yellow fever at Havana. For 63 days these beds were occupied by members of the hospital corps for periods varying from 20 to 21 days. At the end of this occupation the men, who were all non-immunes, were taken to quarantine for five days and then released. Not one of them was taken ill. All were released in excellent health. This experiment is of the greatest importance, as showing that the disease is not conveyed by fomites, and hence the disinfection of clothing, bedding, or merchandise supposed to have been contaminated by contact with yellow fever patients is no longer necessary, and the extremes to which this disinfection work has been carried in cases of yellow fever epidemics in our southern states have been perfectly useless. The "Infected Mosquito Building." In the other house, which was known as the "infected mosquito building," were no articles which had not been carefully disinfected. The house contained two rooms, and non-immunes were placed in both rooms. In one room, separated from the other by wire screen partitions only, mosquitoes which had bitten yellow fever patients were admitted. From the other room they were excluded. In the latter room the men remained in perfect health; in the mosquito room 60 per cent of the persons bitten by infected mosquitoes that had been kept twelve days or more after biting yellow fever patients were taken with the disease, and the yellow fever diagnosis was confirmed by resident physicians in Havana who were above all others familiar with the disease in every form. Persons bitten by mosquitoes at an earlier period than twelve days after they had bitten a yellow fever patient did not contract the disease. In another series of experiments, of seven persons bitten by infected mosquitoes by placing the hand in a jar contain- ing the insects, five or 71 per cent contracted tle disease. The direct agency of mosquitos in spreading the disease having been established, practical anti-mosquito work was at once undertaken in Cuba. General orders were issued requiring the universal use of mosquito-bars in all barracks, especially in hospitals, as well as in field service where practicable. The drainage of breeding-places, the use of petroleum on standing water, in which mosquitos breed, was directed, and the medical department of the army furnished oil for this purpose. It has resulted that Havana had less yellow fever during the present year than at any time in its history. The efforts of Dr. Reed have been supplemented by experiments, under government authorization, in which well persons have been subjected to tests which in several cases have proven fatal. In July a Cuban boy was taken to Havana and after eleven hungry mosquitoes had been put in a cage his arm was placed therein and the insects permitted to suck blood from it. The parasites were given a chance to develop and, when it was believed that they were ready for action, nine persons, at various intervals, were bitten by them after having been inoculated with a serum said to render a person proof against the fever. Of these, three persons have died and the others are lingering between life and death, except one, whose recovery seems probable. While the investigation has proved of some benefit, in that it has disclosed the source of the fever, the immunity serum has not established itself in public favor. CIVILIZATION IN UGANDA. Prime Minister Has Become an Expert in Plain Sewing. Civilization is progressing with rapid strides in the African kingdom of Uganda, where a little while ago all was barbarism. A curious manifestation of civilization in this black kingdom is the fad which has been taken up by the prime minister of the infant king, that official having become an expert in plain sewing. He is now industriously engaged in cultivating the more advanced forms of needlework under the instruction of the wife of one of the missionaries, and will doubtless in a short time be able to do "herring-bone" and other fancy stitches. The little King Dandi recently gave a dinner to celebrate his fourth birthday, and the napkins used were all hemmed by the prime minister. If all prime ministers would devote more time to their sewing and less to affairs of state the world would be a much more peaceful place. King Dandi's birthday dinner was intended to illustrate to the British commissioner and the other white men of the country the advances which have been made in civilization in Uganda. All the chief Europeans at Mengo, the capital, attended the reception, which was followed by a banquet got up in English fashion. It was produced by natives entirely without assistance, and would have done credit to a first-class New York restaurant. The guests found cards bearing their names at the places at table at which they were to sit, and all the plates, spoons, knives, forks, glasses, etc., were just where they belonged; and the courses, which were served deftly and properly, consisted of a food such as one would expect to find at a banquet in any white man's capital. The next day there was a thanksgiving service in the cathedral of Mengo at which the coal-black congregation sang Sir Arthur Sullivan's "Onward, Christian Soldier."—New York Press. Pussy and Fly Paper A large and handsome Angora cat, which is the pet and pride of a family in the south end of the city, and which, relying on this, makes himself very familiar, got into great trouble. Several sheets of sticky fly paper had been laid on a table near a sunny window to entrap wandering files. The cat, desiring to look out at the window, leaped on the table and landed on all four feet on a sheet of the fly paper. At first he kept cool and endeavored to release one foot after another, but the paper clung closer than a brother. Then he put his nose down to push the paper from his feet, and a loose end seized him by the whiskers and fastened to his forehead, binding him. Then he was scared and the trouble commenced, and a sort of furry, long-tailed thunderbolt went rolling over the carpet, emitting the most horrible yells and caterwaulings and turning everything upside down. The family hastened to the relief of their favorite, and more than one of them felt his teetht and claws before he was put in a condition to see and walk.—Portland Oregonian. The Missing Link. In the jungles of southeastern Asia and the islands nearby, which have long been known to science as the cradle of the human race, and which are still inhabited by the very lowest orders of human beings, the pithecanthropus lives with the elephant, tapir, rhinoceros, lion, hippopotamus, gigantic pangolin, hyena and other animals, remains of which were found round about him. It has been computed that this ancestor lived somewhere about the beginning of our last glacial epoch, some 270,000 years ago. In other words, about 17,000 generations have been born and have died between him and ourselves. It will assist our understanding of what this relationship really means to know that nearly 250 generations carry us back beyond the dawn of history, 5,000 years ago.—McClure's Marazine. HE WANTS TO MAKE US A NATION OF MUSICIANS. (Robert W. Taller, a New York millionaire, who has inaugurated a unique movement at Richfield Springs, N. Y. Photo by Cameron.) A movement has been started at Richfield Springs, N. Y., which may and certainly ought to become national and even world wide. It involves the great question of how to spend money so that it will do the greatest good to the greatest number. The originator of this movement is Robert W. Taller, a New York millionaire, who, with his talented family, has spent the summers of several years past at the famous watering resort. Mr. Taller makes no pretense of being a philanthropist and shrinks from any publicity in connection with his many generous acts. The people of the pretty central New York village, however, affectionately style him The Father of Richfield Springs. For a number of seasons he and his accomplished wife led in movements which would tend to aid the younger residents of the village and much good resulted. Associations were maintained in which young men were taught in the different branches of education and instructed in different trades. Some of these are now skilled mechanics and others hold responsible positions in the business world. The scope of this influence upon the people generally was not broad enough to satisfy Mr. and Mrs. Tailer, and they determined to inaugurate something that would reach farther. Mrs. Tailer being a skilled musician and Mr. Tailer passionately fond of music, both realize the refining and elevating tendency of a musical education. Here was the opportunity for which they had been looking. They would make it possible for every man and woman, boy and girl in Richfield Springs to become proficient in playing some instrument. The Richfield Springs Musical Association was formed and Prof. Frank Thompson, formerly of the Marine Band at Washington, was secured as instructor. This was a year ago. Now the association has two brass bands, one of twenty pieces, the other of thirty-two, a marine drum corps in which are a dozen boys, and a ladies' orchestra of twenty instruments. Each organization is now able to give concerts and the guests at the place, many of whom are musical critics, pronounce the renditions as exceptionally fine. The members of the bands and the drum corps have the finest instruments obtainable and are the possessors of attractive uniforms. The ladies' orchestra has given a number of musicales, which are patronized by the social leaders. The association, in the words of Mr. Tailer, is supported by the people of Richfield, but the people say that Mr. Tailer is back of the en- HE WANTS TO MAKE U (Robert W. Taller, a New York million movement at Richfield Springs, N MONEY LOST IN CARS. A New York Conductor Micks Up $6,07 in a Year. "Have you any idea how much money is lost in the street cars of this town?" asked a Metropolitan Street Railway conductor of a reporter the other day, after he had picked up a dime and stowed it in an inside pocket. "Well, there's a lot of it, and no one knows it better than we conductors. Hunting for coins on the bottom of my car is one of my regular grafts, and any other conductor who has been in the business long enough to get his eyes open is on the same lay," says the New York Sun. "Last year I made up my mind to put away every cent I found in my car in an old iron bank I had at home, for the benefit of my youngster. I kept stowing the coins away, and at the end of the year I had $6.07. Of course that's not a barrel of money, but it's a right nice pick-up for a conductor. The biggest find I made that year was a fifty cent note. From that the coin ran all one way in to a cent. In the winter time the pickings are especially good, for then every one has on gloves, and coins slip from the fingers to the floor without the owner's ```markdown ``` tire enterprise and its success is owing to his generosity. However this may be, it is certain that the purpose of the New York millionaire is to continue the work of interesting the people of Richfield in securing musical educations and to make it possible for them to become proficient in the charming art. He hopes to make the place an object lesson for other communities and it is reasonable to believe that he holds the opinion that other wealthy people will emulate his example. The Beneficent Effect of Such Work would certainly be inestimable. Music is always refining and elevating. A man or a woman who can play an instrument well is sure of social recognition wherever he or she may be. A musical education aids one in entertaining and in making the home life pleasant. Many shadows would be dispelled from the households of the country if the father, or mother, or both of them could play some musical instrument. Dullness, awkwardness, coarseness and ignorance will speed from the charms of music like the brooding spirit of darkness from the breaking sunlight. Music softens the passions and improves the intellect. It inspires courage and makes humanity better and nobler in every way. It brings quiet to the restless, joy to the sorrowing, comfort to the lonely and energy to the slothful. It is the inspiration of youth and the solace of age. It is one of the golden keys which often unlocks the door of the citadel of success. It was Schwab's musical ability, as well as his mechanical ability, which first attracted the attention of Carnegie. The plan successfully started by the modest millionaire at Richfield Springs should be inaugurated in every community in this country. The wealthy could not spend their extra dollars in a better cause. The people would take kindly to the scheme. In a few years we would be a nation of musicians and there would be far less of rudeness, misery and depravity. Musical associations should be formed in every place on the lines of the one now organized in Richfield. Competent instructors should be secured and members of both sexes included in the membership. Politeness, and refinement in speech and action will follow as the associations continue. Mr. Tailer's idea is new, so far as its manner of execution is concerned, but it is so plausible and reasonable that every one is forced to commend it. May it succeed beyond the fondest expectations of its promoter. S A NATION OF MUSICIANS. maire, who has inaugurated a unique Y. Photo by Cameron.) knowing it. The only way to be sure you have all the money is to pick the gratings on the floor. I do that every night as regularly as I eat my supper. Now, I've figured it out that if I find $6 in one year, it's very likely that other conductors average somewhere near that sum, may be more, maybe less. There are several thousand conductors in Greater New York, so that it is safe to say that at least $15,000 or $20,000 is annually dribbled on to the floors of street cars by the passengers. In this estimate I don't include large sums, which are sometimes lost in wallets and purses. A conductor is expected to turn these in at the office and about all of them do. But the nickels and dimes and quarters are legitimate pickings and we all have our eyes peeled for them." Christian Governesses in Turkey. Foreigners residing in Constantinople are much excited over the Sultan's recent edict forbidding Turkish families he cafter to engage Christian governesses. The Turkish journals attempt a weak apology by attacking the moral character of the governesses. Lucky is the man who makes more money than his wife can spend. --- His Bluff Did Not Work—A Chinese Joke—Man Who Took All the Berries The Point of View—A Midsummer Night's Tale. A CHINESE JOKE. A strange state of mind evidently prevailed in Pekin during the Boxer outrage outside the walls, outrages which were momentarily expected to be repeated within the city limits. Everybody was preparing for a catastrophe, and nobody could be sure why. It all seemed like a huge practical joke which could not be taken seriously, and yet it was serious, and everybody knew it was. There was apparent peace, with a certainty of coming trouble. The foreigners were gathered in places of safety, and the compounds they had left remained unmolested. One incident curiously shows the combined lightness and frenzy of the public mind. On a certain evening a boy about 16 walked down a street, marking a door here and there with a circle of white chalk, before which he bowed solemnly. Presently all the people came to their doors in a great state of excitement and began to discuss the proceeding and to debate as to what it might mean. The marked houses might belong to the friends or foes of the Boxers, the saved or lost. Suddenly a man went up to the boy, seized him by the pigtail and asked him what he meant. The bystanders were amazed at a courage which dared interfere with an emissary of the Boxers, and the boy himself tried to swagger a little and brazen it out. "What were you doing that for?" inquired the man. "Tell, or I take you to the police station." Then the boy fell on his knees and owned that he was only doing it for a joke to frighten the people. His success exceeded his nopes.—Youth's Companion. A writer in the Saturday Evening Evening Post relates his experience at a dinner recently in company with Artists Walden and Whistler, when England was the topic of conversation. "England," said Mr. Whistler, "rules the world simply because the Englishman takes what he wants." We were rapidly losing ourselves in a fog of politics and natural psychology, when Mr. Walden lifted part of his red mustache and said: "That's right, all right." It was the first time he had spoken that evening, so we stopped our arguments and listened. Calmly and slowly he said: "I was down at Cernay last summer—with Faulkner—painting. You know the little tavern there and the old woman who keeps it. There was an Englishman there who sat next to me at table. Well, the landlady gave us strawberries one night for dinner, for a dollar a day that was pretty good. The servant girl passed the strawberries round. When it came to the Englishman's turn to help himself he emptied the whole dish of strawberries into his plate. So I said to him: "Say, my friend, I like strawberries, too." "Not so much as I do," replied my Englishman calmly, and went on eating." Stories of yankee shrewdness nave always been widely circulated, but when one gets ahead of a yankee there is very little said about it, especially on the part of the rian from the North. Several days ago a hotelkeeper at a small station on one of the roads running out of Memphis put the laugh on a drummer from the North in a very good way, and the traveling man was compelled to beat a hasty retreat. The drummer arrived at the hotel about 8 o'clock in the evening, and fearing that he would not be able to get any supper he asked the landlord what he could get to eat. "My friend," said the hotelkeeper, "I can give you anything from a pickled elephant to a broiled canary bird's tongue for supper to-night." The drummer looked at the man, and thinking that he was jesting, decided to call his bluff. "All right, my friend," said the drummer; "I'll take some pickled elephant." "Very well," said the host, "I'll go and get it." He was gone about five minutes and when he returned said: "All right, sir; supper will be ready in a moment. You'll have to take a whole one, as we don't carve them after dark." The drummer decided that he was not very hungry and took some cheese sandwiches—Memphis Schnaitar. MILLINERY MR WAS SUPERINTENDENT A superstitious baggagemaster on the Pennsy will give $1.12 for the privilege of kicking the fireman of his crew all over a 10-acre lot. It seems that the baggageman has revealed in "tokens," "omens" and presentiments" for so many years that he "sooth things" when he is dead cold sober and "hears things" no other person ever heard, says the Philadelphia Record. His wife went to Wilmington the other day and he had a "token" that some dire accident had befallen her. He heard her cry for help; he heard her prayers and even heard her very last gasp. He was right there at her finish. He spent $1.12 in telegraph tolls only to find out that she was well and happy and that she was a bit hazy as to his sanity. A day later he learned that the walls he had heard were clever imitations of his wife's voice thrown from the engine of his train by the stoker, who is a ventrifloquist. UP TO DATE. Sister—"Tommy! Stop! How can you be so cruel to pussy?" Tommy—"Crool nothing! She's loopin' the loop!" A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S TALE. An individual of somewhat shabby exterior, but whose every movement betrayed the fact that he had once been able to pay for a 50-cent dinner, was walking along the highway at night with his shoes in his hand and the moonlight whispering through his hair when an object suddenly sprang out of the bushes and cried at him: "Avaunt—that is stop in your tracks! Your money or your life!" The object was a young and tender man and there was grace in the way he swung a cudgel around his head. "Just repeat that first word again, will you?" asked the traveler, as he leaned up against a huckleberry bush. "Avaunt! Blood! S'death!" "I thought it had the old familiar sound. Romeo, how art thou?" "Busted all to smash. And how fares it with thee?" "Stone broke. I was the leading man in the Great Hot Wave Comedy Company." "And I was the heavy in Sea of Ice Dramatic Strollers. It's our third bust this summer. "Same here. Dost fare to New York to try again?" "Tis so. Nothing can discourage true talent." "Then let us fare together and if, perchance, we come across the juvenile of our company, who had two plunks when I saw him last, we will cry halt and despoil him to our betterment." JOHNNY ON BULLFROGS. The bullfrog is large, green, and warty. He can jump several times his own length. His voice is loud, but not pleasing. The bull-frog is shy and diffident. He builds his nest in damp, swampy places where it is difficult to track him. At the slightest alarm he utters a low, plaintive note and immediately seeks refuge in the water. He is a good diver, and can swim like a fish, except that he does not wiggle, but kicks. There was a frog once that blowed himself full of air until he busted like a paper sack. This shows the folly of vanity and self-conceit. O, my friends, let us endeavor not to act in that manner, but to be good and truthful. Let us remember that life is short, and that we must always be up and doing. Some people like bullfrogs to eat, but I would rather have pie. JOHNNY. THEIR SECOND MEETING. When Miss Swagger met Mr. Saphedde at the seaside she thought he was a millionaire and he permitted her to think so, although he was a humble clerk in a hotel at Skwedunk. On her return home, some weeks after his departure, it so happened that she stopped over night at the Skwedunk hotel. Her meeting with Mr. Saphedde was embarrassing to him until she said, "O, you didn't tell me you were a hotel proprietor." "No," he said, airily, "I own several hotels over the country, but I didn't think they were hardly worth mentioning."—Ohio State Journal. LEARNING THE BUSINESS. Strong—"I was sorry to hear that you had lost your job. 'What are you doing now?' Weeks—"Taking lessons in wood carving." Strong—"Have you a position in view after learning the art?" Weeks—"Yes. My wife is going to open a boarding house." "You are not looking well," said the hardware clerk to his friend, the plumber. "No. I've been very sick," replied the pipe-hitter, "but I'm mending slowly." The Absence of It. If there is any truth in the saying that happiness is the absence of all pain, mental and physical, the enjoyment of it can only be found in heaven. But so far as the physical is concerned, it is within easy reach; at least measurably so, as far as cure will go. The sum of human misery in this line is made up of greater or less degrees of physical suffering. The minor aches and pains which afflict mankind are easy to reach and as easily cured. There are none in the whole category, which, if taken in time, cannot be cured. They must in some form afflict the nerves, the bones, the muscles and joints of the human body. They are all more or less hurtful and wasteful to the system. St. Jacob's Oil is made to cure them, to search out hidden pain spots, and to cure promptly in a true remedial and lasting way. Very, very many have not known happiness for years till they used it, and very many are putting off cure and happiness because they don't use it. A City of Apartment Houses. The building operations on Monkattan island show that New York City more and more runs to hotels, restaurants and apartment houses, and this goes to show the marked decline of home-life, in the old acceptance of the term. Folks of mostest incomes who desire to maintain the old conditions are driven to the suburbs of the great city or to its outlying parts. Unless one be possessed of great fortune, to live near the heart of the city means much sacrifice of privacy as residence in hotels and apartment houses involves. The roomers and transients give abundant business to the multiplying restaurants. Thus New York tends to become a city apartment and tenement houses, the well-to-do in the former and the poor in the latter. Under the pressure of these conditions the science of building apartment houses of the first-class has made great advances, by which the largest amount of luxury is aimed at with the least expenditure of space. Apartments of the best sort command yearly rents that would buy a fine house in the lesser cites. The increase in apartment house building this year is the notable feature of the real estate development.—Springfield Republican. WISCONSIN FARM LANDS.

Maple Street, Norwich, N. Y., Feb. 17, 1800. Too Particular. A business man who had eaten a meal at a restaurant where he frequently took his midday luncheon, walked up to the cashier and said: "I find I haven't a cent of change about me today. If you will kindly let me owe for this until I come in again, which will certainly be in a day or two, I will square up then." The cashier was not a good judge of human nature, or was under the influence of a momentary irritation, for she replied: "We don't run any accounts at this shop. If you haven't anything to pay with you can leave something with us as security." "I didn't say I hadn't any money," the customer rejoined. "I said I had no change. Please take the amount of my check out of this." And he took a $50 bill out of his pocketbook and handed it to the actonished cashier. "It will be better to pay it now perhaps," he added, "than to leave something as security, for you will not be likely to see me here again." Then picking up his change which comprised about all the money the cashier could find in the establishment, he bowed and walked out. A DISTINGUISHED MISSIONARY. Washington, Ind., Sept. 23d. There is at present, living at 106 East 1bth street in this city, a most remarkable man. He is Rev. C. H. Thompson, and he came to Washington from Little York, Ind., a short time ago. Rev. Mr. Thompson spent many years of his long and useful life as a missionary among the Indians of the West. The great exposure and the drinking of so much bad water brought on Diabetes, and at Wagoner, Indian Territory, he was struck down while preaching. Physicians, one of them a Chicago specialist, pronounced his case hopeless Dodd's Kidney Pills were recommended, and as a last resort he tried them. He was completely cured, and restored to good health and his case and its cure has caused a sensation among the physicians. The Excess of Women. The census returns show that of the 32,526,075 persons enumerated in England and Wales, 15,721,728 were males and 16,804,347 females. This gives an excess of 1,082,619 females, an excess which is partially attributable to the fact that men serving in the army, navy and the merchant service abroad are excluded from the reckoning. In 1891 the excess was 896,723. To each hundred males enumerated there were 106.9 females. The proportion of females has been steadily increasing at each census since 1851, having been successively 104.2, 105.3, 105.4, 106.4, and 106.9 to one hundred males. AMERICA'S GREATEST TOUR.

Water Pressure and Temperature The pressure of water at the average depth of the ocean—two miles—is about equal to that of 320 atmospheres, that is to say, 4,800 pounds to the square inch. The temperature of the atmosphere cools, on an average, about one degree for every 300 feet that we ascend, or warms at the same rate as we descend. The mean temperature at the north pole is about 0, and at the equator between 80 and 90 degrees. We can, therefore, get into a temperature one degree colder for every 70 or 80 miles that we travel north, or in a temperature one degree warmer for every 70 or 80 that we travel south.
