The Broad Ax

BROAD AX DR. DANIEL H. WILLIAMS And Col. S. B. Turner have Their Day in Court Vol. X Thursday afternoon Justice John R. Caverly's Court rooms 128 S. Clark st., were crowded to suffice with the leading Lawyers, Doctors, and the most representative business men and prominent citizens generally, who turned out in masse for the purpose of being present during the hearing of the libel suit between Dr. Daniel H. Williams and Col. S. B. Turner. Shortly after 2 o'clock Mrs. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, accompanied by Mrs. D. P. French, and Mrs. Ora Pope, arrived at the court rooms, the ladies were dressed in the height of fashion, and each one of them extended thier hand to us and greeted us very cordially as they were assigned to seats among the many witnesses and numerous spectators. Later on Dr. Dan arrived, followed by most of the big doctors in town and a whole army of friends: Doctors A. F. Perry, A. Wilberforce Williams, Andrew Smith, Wm. F. Taylor, Davis, McKinley, and several other M. D.'s were present and ushered up towards the front part, of the court room, and they were all ready to stand by Dr. Dan to the last ditch. Major John C. Buckner, Col. John R. Marshall, Col. Louis B. Anderson, Wm. R. Cowan, County Commissioner Oscar de Preist, Col. Noah D. Thompson, Col. Charles H. Smiley, Prof. W. H. Davis, Jn. Auter, J. Hockley Smiley, Jacob L. Parks, Lawyers Albert B. George, S. A. McElwee, Hale G. Parker, R. A. Dawson, and many other legal lights were scattered in among the crowd and they all seemed to be on the side of Doctor Williams: Col. James H. Moody who was at one time associated in business with Col. Turner, but for some cause or other they came to the parting of the ways. N. A. Harbin, W. R. Harris, Jackson Gordon, and Senator John H. Howard were in the back ground waiting and watching to see which way the libel cat would jump. Finally Justice Caverly raped for order and in an instant not a sound of any kind could be heard throughout the room; our lady friend Mrs. Blackwell, who is an expert in her line of business was seated at the table near Justice Caverly ready to report the case: Attorneys Clarence S. Darrow, Judge S. Laing, Williams, and Edward E. Wilson, representing Dr. Dan, were at their posts; Col. B. F. Moseley, and Edward H. Wright, were on the criminal side of the lawyer's table, and behind them sat Col. S. B. Turner, who was looking rather pale and just a little bit nervous; at that stage of the proceedings; the star witness in the case D. Daniel H. Williams was called on to mount the witness stand, and he proved himself able to hold his own with the lawyers for Col. Turner; he declared that "The article in question referred to him, that all those who had read it were firmly convinced that Col. Turner was striking at him in a round about way, that he never called at the Sunsumer Set Ho- tel 12th and Wabash ave., for the purpose of meeting a tall beautiful young lady on the afternoon of Feb. 22. Col. Moseley endeavored to rattle Dr. Williams by making it appear that the article might have referred to Dr. George G. Hall. Dr. Allen A. Wesly, Dr. Charles E. Bentley, Dr. Miller, Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington, Dr. McKinley, or Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, who were as eminent in the medical world, as himself, but Dr. Williams maintained his ground and was still of the opinion that the article pointed him out as the guilty Doctor who was caught in the act of doing a little side stepping, and that was the thing he objected to. Col. Louis B. Anderson, Albert B. George, Dr McKinley, Oscar de Freist, and Col. Charles H. Smiley, were the next to take the witness stand in behalf of Dr. Williams, and to make a long story short, they were all fully convinced that the article referred to Dr. Daniel H. Williams; the last witness for the Doctor was the manager of the Summerset hotel who testified that "no such scene occurred in that hotel on or near Feb. 22, and that at no time did he ever see Dr. and Mrs. Williams and a tall fascinating young lady mixed up together or contending with each other in any part of the hotel." At the conclusion of his testimony there was much scraping and wrangling among the lawyers, and Justice Caverly was forced to continue the case to Saturday March 25, and at 11:30, a. m. on that date he will listen to the arguments in the case and render his decision. JUDGE EDWARD F, DUNNE OPENS HIS MAYORALTY CAMPAIGN WITH A GREAT SPEECH AT DOUGLAS HALL. Tuesday evening Judge Edward F. Dunne, in the midst of much enthusiasm and in the presence of an immense gathering of the most intelligent class of citizens in the 6th ward, opened his mayoralty campaign. Without any mud-slinging and in a cool and dispassionate manner, he clearly defined his position on the traction question and set forth his views in the clearest language so that the most ordinary citizen could understand him in relation to municipal ownership and the immediate settlement of the franchise question. He completely answered and brushed aside all the foam and sophistry which John M. Harlan has been belching forth on this all-important and absorbing subject for the last five or six weeks. It was plainly pointed out and clearly proven by Judge Dunne that John M. Harlan is simply the tool of J. Pierpont Morgan, Marshall Field and the other billionaire rascals who are endeavoring to continue to fasten their poisoned fangs into the people and to rob them of their rights respecting the settlement of the franchise question. Judge Dunne's speech was pitched in a high key, and many new converts were made by it. Col. James Hamilton Lewis, the silver tongued orator of the middle west, set the crowd on fire with his matchless eloquence. The other speakers were Joseph Medill Patterson, Hon. Samuel Alschuler; W. B. Moak, candidate for City Attorney; Fred W. Blocki, candidate for City Treasurer; Hiram Farmer, independent candidate for Alderman of the 6th ward. Judging from the outpouring of the people at this meeting and at the many other meetings which are being held in all sections of the city, in the interest of the candidacy of Judge Dunne, he will be the next mayor of Chicago, if his managers continue to wage an intelligent campaign in his behalf. SAFE SAILING It is incredible how many lives are lost by sail boats upsetting. And when we know that not one life could be lost if the out-riggers invented and used by the South Sea Islanders were introduced here. In his frail boat, with its out-rigger attachment, the islander braves the most tempestuous seas. It is impossible to upset one. Strange, too, that the speed is increased by the out-rigger, which is merely a skeleton imitation of the boat attached to the left side by two good planks. If some boatmen were to provide themselves with a few of these, and it became known, they would monopolize the patronage. Not a day passes but parties are drowned somewhere on our coasts, lakes and rivers by skiffs upsetting. HOLT. HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, MARCH 18, 1905.

Formerly President of the Lincoln Club, Father of Campbell Park Who Will be returned to the City Council from the 20th Ward. REV. W. S. BRADDAN AND HIS FLOCK WERE WELL PLEASED Sunday evening Berean Baptist Church, 4838 Dearborn street, was well filled with its members and friends, who seemed to be much interested in our address entitled "Four Years Among the Mormons." Before proceeding with it, several suggestions were imparted by us as to one of the best ways of causing the church to appear more homelike, so that its members would take a deeper interest in its affairs. One of our suggestions was that a part of the money taken in as collections should be expended for a medium priced book case and another portion of it invested in the best literary productions of the race, and other books; that one Sunday evening in each month should be devoted to reading selections from such works, which would be an inspiration to those who attended the services, and which could not be imparted in any other manner; that the ladies in connection with the church could assist in adding to the collection of books by giving entertainments at their homes and the money derived from selling refreshments could be utilized in buying books; that one of the handsomest young ladies in the church could be placed in charge of them and that they could be rented out to responsible persons who desired to improve their mental faculties, at from 10 to 15 cents per month. That such a plan would be one of the best means in elevating the race on a higher moral and intellectual plane. In our address reference was made to the fact that persons of African descent belonging to the Mormon Church, owing to the curse which the intoxicated Noah pronounced upon his son Ham, that they cannot enter the third or last Heaven; that they can only become lay members of the church; that they are debarred from entering the Temple and the Endowment House; that that curse prevented them from entering into a state of polygamy; that they can only enter the first Heaven, where they must remain until the president of the Mormon Church receives new light from on high, respecting their final disposition or destiny. Our utterances respecting the intoxicated Noah and the curse theory woke up Rev. Braddan and in winding up the evening services he stated that he highly appreciated our address; that he had learned more about the ways and customs of the Mormon people than he had ever known before; that the curse theory was misunderstood; that this coming Sunday evening, March 19th, he would preach on that subject, and if nothing happens it is our intention to be present and see if he can throw any new light on Uncle Noah and his wine. WHEN WILL THE NEGRO BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO BE A MAN? If we take for granted the statements as they appear in the different newspapers, it seems as though with all the ability and business qualifications in some portion of the country, it all stands for nothing. In Virginia, the Negroes started an insurance business. In order to stop them, a law was passed raising the deposits for insurance companies In the state, thinking that the colored company would be caught napping, but the boys were wide awake. So just keep on passing your laws; it only spurs the Negro on. In Kansas after the election there was a great howl set up because a Negro was invited to the Kansas Day banquet. When will this outrage stop? If the predominant race would put up a stake and say to us, work to that and you can be a man, we would do that and be satisfied. But it has been: get bank accounts. The only thing that has been done is to keep the owner from starving. We have bought farms and it is the same. The Negro is being educated, and it is the same. Why not judge him by his individual merit? Why not judge him by his individual worth, and by his individual merit? Why couple him with any other Negro because he is black? Solomon says: "My brother hated me because I was black." The South rejected Dr. Crum for three years because of his color. Not that he was not a gentleman, nor incompetent. They said he was a Negro, and thought that was enough to settle it. It is a sin and a curse. "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a curse to a show-down some day." The thought that is coursing its way through my mind, is, how can the senators and congressmen be so interested about the interstate commerce law about freight, hogs and cattle and the shipping of coal and merchandise, and then say nothing about the "jim crow" car and the Negro huddled up in one dirty car, and paying first class fare. It is a shame on any nation that will tolerate such, and then in time of war ask the same rejected and despised race to take up arms in her defense. If one would glance at Spain, and Russia in her struggle, and then look at this truly great nation with her millions of crimes, it would cause the truly good friends of this great country to shiver with shame and dismay.—Burton Gazette. The program at the St. Mark Literary last Sunday afternoon was made up of High School students. The subject was, "The Relation of the High School to the Race." The Wendel Phillips and the Hyde Park High Schools were well represented. A very interesting discussion followed, in which a large number took part. Next Sunday afternoon will be a great occasion. Hon. E. H. Morris will be the speaker. Subject: "Weights—False and True." Miss Curry and Mrs. Kopperl will sing a duet. Tuesday evening, the 21st, the Literary will hold its monthly social, at which time a preliminary oratorical contest will be held to select an orator to represent St. Mark at the Inter-Literary Oratorical Contest, to be held in April. Admission free. The date for the great contest has been fixed at Monday evening, April 10th. Most of the Sunday clubs and Literary Societies have already chosen their orator. A prize of $5.00 in gold will be awarded to the man who makes the best oration. CHIPS Mrs. Johnnie Purdy of Somerset, Pa., is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Noah D. Thompson, 6552 Champlain avenue. The S. S. S. Whist Club was entertained at the palatial residence of Mrs. Martin, 4708 Langley avenue, Tuesday afternoon. The Afro-American Ledger, of Baltimore, Md., reports that Mrs. Theo. Hall, Miss Hattle Curtis and Mr. R. Sobers of Chicago are having a big time in Baltimore this week. The Missouri State Federation of colored women has petitioned Governor Folk to recommend the establishment of a state reformatory for Negro girls. Alderman John Burns has many friends among the Democrats in the 30th ward who will stand by him and fight for his re-election to the City Council. Mrs. Oscar de Priest, 3832 Dearborn street, who was taken seriously ill Saturday evening and was not expected to live, is much improved in health today. We wish her a speedy recovery. "An Evening in Georgia" will be given at Berean Baptist church, 4838 Dearborn street, by Tribe No. 1, Monday evening, March 27. Real Southern scenes. The Log Cabin Home and Plantation Melodies. Miss Mary Williams, a St. Louis colored girl, who graduated from the Provident Hospital Nurse Training School, has been appointed by the government to a position in Oklahoma Territory. Alderman Silas F. Leachman has begun has campaign in real earnest, for his re-election to the City Council from the 27th ward, and he will be a winner over his opponent, for he has the people on his side. Thomas F. Scully will be elected to the City Council from the 10th ward, and as there are mighty few men as familiar with city affairs as Mr. Scully, therefore he will make a valuable member of the new City Council. Nicholas Budzban, secretary of the Eagle Brewing Company, is putting up a hot fight against Alderman Lewis D. Sitts in the 17th ward, and many of Alderman Sitts' friends fear that he will be put off watch by Mr. Budzban. Melville G. Holding is working very hard for the success of the entire Democratic ticket, and he is fully convinced that his friend Will B. Moak will be elected City Attorney of Chicago. Fred A. Hart, who bested all those who endeavored to blacken his reputation by claiming that he accepted bribes while serving in the City Council, will be re-elected as a member of it by the people residing in the 29th ward. Rev. John W. Robinson, has been transferred by his conference from St. Mark's church to Covington, Ky., much to the regret of their many warm friends, who wish him and Mrs. Robinson well in their new field or labor. Do not fail to attend the musical festival at Quinn Chapel March 30th the event of the season. Some of the best talent in Chicago will participate in the program. Marion Adams-Harris musical director. Rev. D. P. Roberts pastor. Alderman William H. Ehemann, 24th ward, will not have much trouble on his hands in being returned to his old seat in the City Council, for all of its members none have worked harder in the interest of all the people than Alderman Ehemann. Fred W. Blocki is making a winning race for City Treasurer of Chicago, and, like the present efficient City Treasurer, honest Ernst Hummel, Mr. Blocki will conduct all the affairs of his new office in apple-ple order. Judge Richard A. Dawson, organizer of the Colored Voters' Municipal Ownership and Personal Liberty League, in the interest of the election of Judge Edward F. Dunne, is an old-time hustler and organizer, and he is doing effective work throughout the city. Alderman Frank I. Bennett of the 7th ward is having quite a bitter fight on his hands for re-election to the City Council, but his friends and supporters predict that in the final wind-up he will be successful and continue to serve as one of the city fathers after the 4th of April. The Colored Voters' Municipal Ownership and Personal Liberty League will hold a mass meeting at 440 State street, at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, March 19. Daniel E. Cruice, Dr. Joseph A. Kelly, E. B. Cheatem, H. W. Ashton, James H. Porter, Horace Clinton and Richard A. Dawson are billed to do the speaking. Ex-United States Senator William E. Mason, who has been confined to his home, 1477 Washington boulevard, continues to improve each day from his hard spell of sickness and at the present rate it will not be long until he will be able to occupy his easy chair in his law offices in the Home Insurance Building. Edward M. Cummings won out in the Aldermanic contest before the Board of Election Commissioners, between himself and J. A. Haney, and Mr. Cummings will from now on wage a strong fight against Alderman John Burns, who has for the past two years been a hard worker in the City Council for all the people in the 30th ward. Mrs. Mable Clemens, Miss Gertrude Jackson, Mrs. Hattie Sayles, Mrs. Fannie Hall Clint, Mr. James Styles, Mrs. Virginia Green, Mr. W. J. Houston, Mr. R. A. Crawley, and Miss Mamie Clemens will take part in a grand concert to be given at Berean Baptist church, Monday evening, March 20, under the auspices of the Third Battalion. Down in Lake Village, Ark., and Pineapple, Ala., white Christian gentlemen continue to amuse themselves by shooting and murdering colored men. Two of them were killed outright and another one was severely wounded by Deputy Sheriffs, who claimed that they were implicated in ending the existence of a white man, and two more were hanged at Pineapple, Ala., charged with shooting a white gentleman. President Roosevelt at this rate will be forced to revise that portion of his speech wherein he declares that "Mob and lynch law is a thing of the past." Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Kopperl, 4762 Armour Ave., entertained a few of their friends Wednesday Evening. The evening was spent very pleasantly in dancing and whist playing. Music being rendered by Mr. F. W. Boyd. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hicks; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. F. Seamore; Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Turner; Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Austin; Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Elliott, and Miss Cora Humphrey.

Entered at the Post Office at Chicago, II. as Second-class Matter. Good Manners in War. Battle as a school for manners has not stood high. The Japanese have taught as many things, and among them the possibility of combining agreeable demeanor with war. We look upon Grant's treatment of Lee as an exception, and so it was, but the Japanese leaders have not once failed in courtesy since the war began; in courtesy, or in that modesty which is equally necessary to politeness. The Japanese may be the best soldiers in the world. They are certainly the most gracefully polite of races.—Colliet's Weekly. Keep New Mexico Out There is certainly a very strong sentiment against admitting New Mexico as a state. It applied for admission 50 years ago, and it isn't much further advanced now than it was then. The part of it that isn't inhabited by a Spanish-speaking population is inhabited by Mormons. None of its people seems to be in hearty sympathy with the union and its institutions. Besides, it has a very small population, a big percentage of it being illiterate.-Savannah News (Dem.) Uncle Sam's War Pensioners. Five pensioners are on the roll on account of the revolution, 1,116 on account of the war of 1812, 4,374 on account of the Indian wars, and 13, 874 on account of the Mexican war. The great bulk of the roll is as follows: Civil war, invalids, 703,456; widows, 248,396; Spanish war, invalids 9,200; widows, 36,688; regular establishment, invalids, 9,170; widows, 2,933 Execution of Trust In 1891 Castienne Garcolon died in Oakland, Cal., leaving $750,000 for the establishment there of a hospital for incurables. The law's delay intervened and the trustees have only just received permission to proceed with the execution of the trust. The buildings are to cost $250,000, and $500,000 is, according to the will, to be kept as a fund for the maintenance of the hospital. Affecting Piece. At a concert in Strasburg the tenth bar of Chopin's "Funeral March" had been reached when the pianist found himself playing alone. The other members of the orchestra, overcome by emotion, had ceased playing. The pianist rose in tears and left the room, and the programme abruptly closed. Whether the people who had paid for seats also wept is not stated. The Ghost of Poland. The bitterness with which the people of Lodz, Warsaw and other Polish cities have fought against the Russian troops long after the workmen of St. Petersburg were "pacified" is but another instance to prove that the nation which undertakes the extinction of the liberties of a brave people is preparing for itself an almost endless task.—N. Y. World. Italv's Exports The principal exports of Italy are raw silk and silk goods, wines, olive oil, fruit and vegetables, butter and cheese, poultry and eggs, and other agricultural produce. It has a large export trade in marble, about 30 per cent, thereof going to the United States, to which it also sends about 4,500 tons of sumac annually. Shrewd.

Use for Old Coal Mines It appears that there is always a brisk demand for used-up coal mines in England. Some are utilized by shotmakers, who find them cheaper than towers. Many of the shallower pits are used for growing rhubarb, mushrooms and similar vegetables. woman's Progress This invasion by women in all departments of work seems to be as inevitable as doom itself. It is not to be frowned upon or resisted. It has to be accepted. Women not only have come to the good places, but evidently hays to stay.-Chicago Chronicle. OPALS NO LONGER FEARED Superstition That the Stone Bringe Bad Luck Passing Away—Strenuous Life the Cause. Superstition fades away in the strenuous life of the twentieth century. And the return to common sense has shown itself in the modern fancy for opals. Sir Walter Scott was chiefly responsible for the idea of bad luck being connected with this stone, as will be remembered by readers of "Anne of Geierstein." And others declare that, as the word opal is from the Greek ops (the eye), the gem shares evil influence with a peacock's feather. However, women have lived down all this and opals are the lucky stone for autumn and have been worn by recent brides. But even now stories are told of the uncanny influence of the opal. Alphonso XII. of Spain presented an opal ring to his young wife. Mercedes, on their wedding day and her death occurred soon afterward. Before the funeral the king gave this ring to his sister, Maria Del Pilar, and she also died a few days afterward. The king then presented the ring to his sister-in-law, Princess Christian, and she died in the course of three months. Alphonso, distressed at these fatalities, resolved to wear the ring himself, but he did not wear it long, as his unhappy life shortly came to an end. The queen regent then attached the fatal ring to a gold chain, which she hung around the neck of the Virgin of Almudena in Madrid. NUDENESS JARS JAPANESE. Severe Shock Is Administered to the Islanders by This Form At the St. Louis fair a Japanese merchant was praising the exhibit of Japan. "We shall undoubtedly get a number of awards, prizes, medals and diplomas," he said. "I hope that on none of these will appear drawings containing nude figures. We are a modest people; nude figures shoch us. A number of Japanese manufacturing concerns that took part in the Columbian exposition received diplomas, suitable for framing, whereon there were drawings of nude women. These concerns, with some misgiving, hung their diplomas in their factories at home. Hence a great deal of scandal, and the diplomas had to come down. There was one firm, a rice-polishing firm at Takamatsu, that came near incurring serious trouble. Its diploma, very nude indeed, was hung in the hall of the factory and the women hands refused to go to work the morning it appeared. The men, taking the matter up, refused to work either. The factory, had not the Columbian exposition's diploma been removed, would have had to close its doors. In Japanese art the nude never appears. The human figure is always draped. Foreign artists should remember this in work intended for Japan." WARMS NOSE WITH CIGAR. New York Man Holds Fire End Close to Face and Then Takes Many and varied are the ways and means adopted by people these days as a protection from the cold, but one of the oldest schemes is that of a man who uses his cigar to warm his nose. While on the street he invariably smokes a cigar, and at frequent intervals he removes it from his mouth and holds the lighted end close to his nose, which happens to be an organ of uncommon size, says the New York Times. Some years ago this gentleman froze his nose, and ever since it has been extremely susceptible to cold. "Moreover," explained the man, "there is a considerable amount of heat radiated from the fire end of a cigar, much more than you would naturally suppose; yet I admit in extreme cold weather it is not sufficient to keep my nose comfortable, and at such times I have snuff. The resultant sneezing amply serves the purpose." CALLS SUN A BINARY STAR Prof. Bigelow Expounds Ideas About Old Sol and Laws Govern ing Him. "The sun should be regarded as an incipient binary star," says Prof. Bigelow, in the Weather Review. Recent scientific work in investigating the circulation of the solar atmosphere in accordance with the laws governing the convective and radiative action of a large mass of matter contracting by its own gravitation, have led Prof Bigelow to the hypothesis that "the single fiery envelope conceals two disks." A series of observations extending over many years on the period of solar rotation at various points in the surface shows that "the same meridian of the sun is seen twice in a single rotation of the entire mass, first as the eastern limb, and second, 13 days later, as the western limb." Therefore the sun has a dumbbell figure of rotation. Diplomat a Fine Pianist Theodore Hansen, first secretary of the Russian embassy in Washington, is an accomplished musician, being devoted especially to the piano. Most of his spare time is passed fingering the keys of a concert grand, which he has in his apartments. But he is haunted by street pianos, which seem to have a satanic propensity for cutting loose just in front of wherever he happens to live. Three times he has changed his quarters on this account, and he solemnly declares that unless he can effect permanent escape from the torment of "popular music," he may be driven to resign his position. Telephone Kerchiefs. Telephone Kerkhiers. The French telephone service has just accorded to the public one of those little amenities of civilization which might, with obvious advantage, be extended throughout the world. In every public office there will henceforward be hung a white linen handkerchief, treated with a chemical solution, with which every person can cleanse and disinfect the plate or tube before using it. If he will only do so also after breathing into it himself for several minutes, so much the better. These handkerchiefs are renewed daily.—London Globe. Demand for Machines. Because of the enlistment of large numbers of Japanese workingmen in the armies operating in Manchuria, many women are forced to sustain themselves by means of industrial work in their homes. This has created a large demand for the lighter kind of machines which produce salable commodities and can be manipulated by women. Sewing machines, knitting machines and hand looms are reported to be in great demand. Dog-Watch. Dog-watch is a corruption of dodgewatch, and is the name given to two short watches of two hours each on shipboard—one from four to six p. m. and the other from six to eight p. m. The dog-watches were introduced to prevent the same men from always keeping watch at the same hours of the day; hence on these occasions the sailors are said to dodge the routine, or to be doing dodgewatch—Boston Globe. Poisonous Fish. In the rivers of some of the West Indian islands there abound fish which it would be deadly poison for Europeans to eat, but which natives find a nourishing and enjoyable diet. In parts of New Zealand there grows a sort of orange which no one but a native can eat without becoming very ill, while two would probably poison the average European. Inducements. Yorrick Hamm—Old Gougeberry doesn't seem to have any trouble in securing actors for his new play, and yet he was never known to pay salary for more than two weeks. Hamlet Fatt—Well, there's three eating scenes in this production, and he sets the table every time with real food.—Pittsburg Post. Corn in the South The Southern Farm Magazine says that the aggregate production of corn in the south for the last two years has been 1,300,000,000 bushels against 908,000,000 bushels for the two preceding years, or a total increase in the last two years of nearly 400,000,000 bushels. Becoming Extinct The Indian rhinoceros is slowly becoming extinct. There are only four specimens in the zoos of the continent, and the rhinoceroses in the jungles are becoming so rare that one is seldom seen even by the most ardent hunter. The Joy of Memory.

Batiey- has held the distinction of being the youngest member of the United States sen- ate. After the 4th of March he will have to yield that place, as a still younger man will then be the “baby senator.” Elmer ‘ Jacob Burkett, of Nebraska, will be sworn in on the 4th of March as a sen- ator from that state as the successor of Senator Dietrich. Mr. Burkett was born December 1, 1867. This makes him about four years younger than Mr. Bailey and about five years younger than Mr. Beveridge, of Indiana, who has been a close second to Bailey for the distinction of being the most youth- ful member of the senate. All three of these young men might pass for having fewer years than they can lay claim to. Mr. Beveridge un- doubtedly is at the present time the most youthful looking man in the sen- ate. He is of rather fair complexion, ‘with dark brown hair, smooth face, and 4s boyish in his manner and in his feel- ings. Although Mr. Bailey is a year his junior, the Texan has a dignified bear- ing and a thoughtful expression that ‘adds to his age, although his face is smooth and as red-cheeked as a boy of 18 His deliberate manner and thoughtful expression are those of a man Well on in middle life. He, how- ‘ever, was born on October 6, 1863, while ‘Mr. Beveridge was born on the same day in 1862. Mr. Burkett would easily be taken for Mr. Beveridge's senior. He has a rather heavy, dignified appearance and is-very formal in his address. He rep- resents the possibilities of the Amer- ican boy and his biography shows that he has won his senatorial toga by merit and hard work. He was born on a farm in Iowa and had the usual experience of a western farmer lad with ambitions that looked beyond the cornfield. He taught school in Nebraska and read law at the state university of that state, be- ing admitted to the bar in 1893. He was elected to the state legislature in 1896 and served three terms in congress. Senator Frre. a es Bs ge See ene Charles W. Fair- banks takes the oath of office hg will relieve Sen- ator William P. Frye, of Maine, of the duty of presid- ing over the Unit. ed States_senate. Mr. Frye will again take his seat on the floor of the senate at the first desk in the first row on the republican side adjoining the middle aisle. Since the death of President McKinley, which put Theo- dore Roosevelt at the head of the gov- ernment, Mr. Frye has continuously presided over the senate as its presi- dent pro tem. He will doubtless con- tinue to enjoy that honor and fill the presiding officer's chair when Vice President Fairbanks is away, but the Indiana senator, as vice president, will wield the gavel by right of his office. It is regarded as fortunate that a mem- ber of the senate succeeds to the vice presidency. Mr. Frye will be welcomed back on the fioor of the senate, where he long ‘ago earned distinction as one of the strong debaters in that body. He has been at the head of the senate com- ap ee eeeens oe nes toe ‘on sil measures that come from thet committee he is an authority and hisspeeches are always informative and instructive. He has st his fingers’ tips ail sorts of information on river and harbor improvements, as for many years he has virtually made those appropria- tion bills that-pertain to this work. A few years ago while debating one of the provisions of river and barbor Dill the senate was startled by the fa- cility with which Mr. Frye reeled off figures, percentages and estimates in a seemingly bewildering tangle. Notic- ing the curious looks of his colleagues as he would recapitulate a coluzin of figures running into the hundreds of millions, he smilingly explained that when s boy at college his bete noir was mathematics. ‘The of Agriculture.

The expenditure of money in this distribution is regarded, however, a fully justified, as it advances the edu cational work of the department There is every prospect that these re- quests for school supplies will greatly fmcrease in the future. The burder upon the United States mail service as great as is the expense of preparing and printing these documents, bu that, too, is regarded as amply justi fied. The Presidential Plum Orchard.

That which has ended was largely an inheritance from the martyred McKinley, and Pres- ident Roosevelt has done his best to carry out his predecessor's policy, and to redeem McKinley's promises. Mr. Roosevelt has at his disposal 6,203 “plums,” carrying salaries any- where from $17,500 @ year to nothing ‘These are civil offices known as “presi- dential,” whose incumbents must be confirmed by the senate. They are places in the civil branch that are no! covered by the civil service.

There are 5,082 places a the disposal of the president, all bu 14 of them being postmasterships o' the first, second and third class. The fourth class postmasterships, whict carry less than $1,000 salary, are no! distributed by the president. In the state department there are five ambassadorships paying $17,50 per year each; two ambassadorships those at Vienna and Rome, paying $12,000. There are 30 ministers wh¢ receive $12,000 to $4,000 per annum: then there are secretaryships of em bassies and legations paying from $1,500 to $2,625 each.

RARE OLD TOKAY WINE. Nearly Three Hundred Years Old and ‘Worth on the Market $30 @ Quart. “1 visited a cellar of Tokay lately,” said a hotelkeeper, according to the Washington Post. “Tokay is the only wine that keeps on improving indefinite- ly. There was wine nearly 300 years old in thecellar. Its price on the market would be easily $30 a quart. ~The cellar was very carefully kept. I seemed to inhale cool, velvety whiffs of Fich fungus at every step. A slight haze hung along the top of the passages—e haze that seemed to be made of the visible aroma of rare wine. “I was surprised to see that the bottles were kept upright and that the corks ‘were very loosely inserted. Old Tokay must be kept’ like that to maintain a perfect condition for it, and, thanks to the loose corks,a sample, even of the old- est vintage, may be taken out and tasted at any moment. A bottle of Tokay may be shaken without risk of its turning turbid. “Nobody knows why old Tokay is so good. It is no longer made—just as genuine Madetra is no longer made. The secret is lost, like the secrets of the old Persian rugmakers.” AGE IN NAVY OFFICERS. Commanders of American Gunboats Older Than Those of Other Nations. The youngest rear admiral in the United States navy is older than Ad- miral Togo. The four Japanese vice admirals are all younger than the youngest of our captains, says the In- @ependent. The Japanese rear ad- mirals’ average age is 59, captains’ age 4423, anc commanders’ 403-2 The average ag3.of our captains (671-2) is 13 years beyond that of the Japanese captains, nine years beyond that of the English and German captains, and seven years beyond that of the Rus- sian captains. The youngest English captain is aged 33, is 20 years young- er than our youngesty and Japan has deemed it wise to intrust her battle- ships to men of age 36. The average English and German captain is scarcely older than our junior grade captain (commander), and our young- est commander when he reached his rank was older than the average Japan- ese captain. If our youngest captain were in the Japanese navy he would have been retired for age some time ago. | SILK HAT SELDOM WORN. ‘Its Passing But a Mere Whim of Fashion and It Is Sure to Return. “The silk hat,” said the manager of ‘& fashionable hat store, reports the New York Sun, “has about run tts course for day wear. Only elderly men, and comparatively few of them, wear it im the day time. “Fifteen years ago we often sold more silk hats in a day than we now sell in two weeks.

Its Passing is merely a whim of fashion. It is the most dressy hat a man can wear, and also the most economical. A good silk hat will stand more wear and tear than three derbys or fedoras. 4t can be froned to look like new, no matter what has happened to it. “Most of our customers are well to do, but lots of them in the old days ‘wore silk hats for economy's sake. A few do yet, for that matter, but they are men past middle life.” International Boat Stamn. Four countries—Bavaria, Austria, ‘Wortemberg and Switzerland—border on the lake of Constance.

BEFORE MARRIAGE LET HER BE CO¥ AND DIFFICULT. “Finished Flirting” a Legitimate Art —A Girl Flirts as Naturally ase _ Bird Sings—Sweetest Wives Often Butterflies in Their Teens. i. oraiectame te mare (Copyright, 195, by Joseph B. Bowles.) - A gray afternoon on @ gray day, with snow coming before night by all the signs in the almanac. But in our diving-room the glow of a bright fire on the hearth, and, for a wonder, at four o'clock, everybody there, from the judge to the child playing with her doll in the corner. One of the silences that fall into intimate talk was broken by the mother, who said casually, to no one in particular: “So Julie P. is engaged. I received the announcement this morning.” “Ab,” said Aunt Jane, looking up with interest. “I am glad to hear it. She is a finished flirt, but she will probably marry and settle down as her mother did before her. For my part,” the old maid ment on, with a charming smile, “I approve of girls’ flirting, to a certain extent.” “I have no doubt, Aunt Jane,” ven- tured the young fellow from Harvard. “that you yourself know all about it. Father and Uncle Edward can tell tales.” Aunt Jane is frankly an old mald. She glories In the title, and wears it like a decoration. There is a tra- dition in our family that she and a friend who pays semi-annual visits at our house have carried on a flirtation for the last 20 years. Whenever the old doctor calls, he lays his heart and his fortune at Aunt Jane's feet, and she as regularly declines them, but they remain fast friends. Lately Aunt Jane has been growing hand- omer; her mourning put on two years ago for her father, the general, who was a helpless invalid so long. has been softened and exchanged for lavenders and grays. Maybe she'll ac- cept the doctor yet. His nieces, how- ever, have had the immense ad- vantage of living with an unmarried woman who has not despised what may be called airs and graces. “Julie P. was a finished flirt, you ‘said, Jane; by that did you mean a heartless flirt? I cannot endure a girl ‘who goes through life carried away by a desire for admiration, and parading her triumphs.” The speaker was a — older than our beautiful aunt —her half-sister. “Do you mean such a girl as Rosa- mond Vincy, in ‘Middlemarch,’ or Eustacia, in “The Return of the Na- tive?’ " inquired the Harvard boy, “or perhaps one of those fascinating crea- tures that Kipling tells about at Simla, girls like cats, with the feline nature, and the stealthy ways, and the purring sweetness—regular deceivers?” “Dear me!” said Aunt Jane, looking speculatively at the young collegian. “You read something besides Greek at Cambridge, don’t you, Fred? No, I don’t mean any heroine out ef any book when I say Julie has known how to flirt, nor, for an instant, sister Pa- tience,” addressing the older lady, “do I intend to call a girl heartless who flirts prettily and naturally, as a bird sings, or a rose blooms. In your day, sister, and mine, we were taught to ‘firt.” “Meaning precisely what?" The grave voice was that of Jane's brother- in-law, the judge, father of the Har- vard man. “Meaning this, Louis, begging your pardon, that we girls were shown that Joveliness was a rare and exquisite thing in a maiden; that we held our- baie proudly and had to be courted. ‘and were not too easily won; that we = never, never anxious to have a man call on us, nor deigned to won- der why he stayed away, nor thought ft possible we could be slighted by anyone who belonged to your arro- gant sex. Until a girl had actually said “yes” to a very persistent and humble suitor, he never felt quite sure that she wouldn't say “no.” Jule P. | 1s that sort of girl. She has not been too lightly won. It has taken much | Wouble and pains to secure her love. I have only contempt for a fickle = coquette, as you well know But I consider a certain amount of | pretty, coy, elusive flirting to be le ‘ gitimate. It is a girl's chain armor. Over in Japan they teach the little maiden in school how to doit. They put @ value, you see, on the graceful by-play which a woman ought to have at her command. I don't care very much about those downright girls whe are solid and substantial, but never understand how to take compliments or to give them. They are like peo ple who have large bills in thet ocketbooks but never a single bi of small change. Worthy girls, no doubt, Dut not fascinating.” Aunt Jane left the room. ~ She had noticed & poor pensioner of hers step. ping in at the area gate, and for al such, on her tongue was the law of Kindness, and on her pantry shelves & store of bread and mest.

Expert Advice Given the Thin Woman im Regard to Putting on Avoir- dupois Where Most Needed. ler ina dtery for those who want t be fuller in the chest, bigger busted, broader in the shoulders and of better figure generally, says Mme. Julie DvAray. It is not a diet for the full- ‘busted woman, but for the one whois too elim in the bust. For breakfast take some sort of a cereal and.a cooked fruit. Oatmeal eat- en with hot stewed peaches is ideal food at this time of day. Any kind of cooked fruit is good, providing it be not too very | Sweet. Stewed dried fruits, stewed prunes, apple sauce and all other fruits of ths kind’ are better for the stomact than, raw fruit. There are those who cannot stand the acids of raw fruit and who cannot eat raw apples, raw oranges and bananas. Very thin women and some "stout women are seriously injured by the eating of raw fruit in the early morn- ing. and the woman who is too thin ould do well to cut out this kind of diet. A good cereal breakfast food with all the stewed fruit you want is a very good diet for the thin woman to eat early in the day. The woman with the thin chest should next, on her breakfast list, take some kind of twice-cooked meat. She can ( 2225 ase: ‘ ~ Ey a . \Z&y X WY os () 2h ash Oy oe have a good hash prepared in some tasteful way. Or she can have a little stewed chicken or minced beef or lamb. Twice-cooked foods are much better for her than beefsteaks or chops or food of that kind. Twice-cooked meais, by the way, form a very available article of diet for any woman. Take your cold meat and do it over in some way and you will have a tasteful and nourishing dish. When she whips her cream she should talfe the white of an egg and whip it toa foam. Upon this she should place a full cup of thick, sweet cream. And to this she should add @ teaspoon of powdered sugar and a very few drops of vanilla extract. She should whip this until it is a standing foam, which will take some minutes. She should then put the dish on the ice to become very cold. And with this whipped cream she flavors her cup of cocoa. There is a distinct art in catering to the very thin woman and the one who will study it will be rewarded by very great results. LEARN HOW TO BREATHE. One of the Most Common Forms of Carelessness in Regard to Health Is Improper Inhaling. Breathing through the mouth will in time change the whole expression of the face. It is very apt to cause wrinkles about the mouth and lower portion of the face. Every mother should see that her child keeps the mouth shut and breathes through the nose. If it is difficult she should at once find out the cause and have it removed. The North Ameri- can Indians, perhaps, did not realize the wisdom and benefit of their habit of Keeping the mouth shut and insisting upon their children doing the same. But whatever their reason may have been for this custom of always keeping the mouth shut, they had at least stumbled upon a habit more conducive to health than the average man or woman of to- day can possibly realize. Keep your mouth shut; breathe through your nose, says Medical Talk. If there is anything that interferes with nose breathing, find out what it is and remedy it if possible. Watch yourself. Get into the habit of breathing through your nose. Keep the mouth shut except when it is absolutely necessary to open it, as in talking or eating, but never open the mouth to breathe. Even if there is nothing unhealthy or injurious in mouth breathing, almost anyone should prefer nose breathing, if he will just recollect how unsightly an open mouth is, especially in an adult ‘It certainly gives anything but an intel- ligent expression to the face. If for any reason a child or grown per- ‘son cannot breathe through the nose, an examination of the nose should be made at once, for there is doubtless some ob- ‘struction of the nasal passage. Bain and Beauty. ‘There's something fascinating about a rainy day. To those who take the time to let a few thoughts trickle through their brain cells now and then a stormy hour, with sky gray and brood- ing and raindrops pattering, inspires tender reverie and a sweet, charming, exquisite sort of loneliness that is real- ly delightful.

Description of the Way Politicians Operated More Than s Hua- Geet Dame Aen. _ ‘Fhe candidate's trick of kissing the ‘babies to gain votes is not a new thing. The determined candidate ou = eighteenth century was as deep- ly interested in all members of & voter's family as he is to-day, says Youth’s Companion. In William Cow- per’s “Letters” may be found a de- scription of the way things were done more than 100 years ago. We were sitting yesterday at din- ‘ner, the two ladies and myself, very composediy and without the least ap- ‘prehension of any such intrusion in our snug parlor, one lady knitting, an- other netting, and the gentleman ‘winding worsted. Suddenly, to our unspeakable surprise, a mob appeared before the window. A smart tap was ‘heard at the door, the boys halloed, and the maid announced Mr. Grenville. Candidates are creatures not very sus- ceptible to affront, and would rath- er, I suppose, climb in at the window than be absolutely excluded. | In a minute the yard, the kitchen and the parlor was filled. Mr. Gren- ‘ville advanced toward me, shook me by the hand with a degree of cordial- ity that was extremely seducing. ‘As soon as he and as many more as could find chairs were seated, he be- gan to open the intent of his visit. I told him I had no vote, for which he readily gave me credit. I assured him “Thad no influence, which he was not equally inclined to believe. | Thus ended the conference. Mr. Grenville squeezed my hand again, | kissed the ladies, and withdrew. He | kissed, likewise, the maid im the kitch- en, and seemed, upon the whole, a most loving, kissing, kind-hearted ‘a LAMB AND LION TOCETHER Experiments of the Trainer Resulted , im Making the Animals Fast Friends. A lamb fs the playmate of one of the fiercest Ions in Bostock’s hippo- drome on the Place Clinchy, Paris. Mr. Bostock tells how it took nine months to bring about the friendly relation- ship. “I lost a whole carload of lambs,” he said, “before succeeding—lambs of the kind children play with. I placed in the cage au sorts of toys of the animal variety—cotton sheep, horses, rabbits—in fact, a regular Noah's ark, “Then I specialized on-sheep, but it took @ long time for the hon to find out that they were not good to eat Finally a tive lamb was introduced. At first the lion looked surprise, and then lay down and gently pawed the stranger. The lamb did not like this, and drawing back a pace or two, but- ted the lion in the mane. “This appeared to greatly amuse the Hon, who playfully rolled over on his back, while the lamb butted again. “Now,” says Mr. Bostock, “they are fast friends, and an insurance company would be justified in taking the lamb ac a first-class risk.” JAPAN'S BANK DEPOSITS. Banks of the Island Empire Hold ‘More Cash Now Than Ever Before. “Seventy per cent. of the Japanese expenditures in the present war with Russia remain in Japan, and, as a re- sult, the deposits in the banks of the island. kingdom are larger than they have ever been before,” said Franklin B. Morse, son of the first American consul to Osaka."reports the Washing- ton Post. “The working of this is simple and accounts for present conditions in Japan. The Japanese army lives on rice and fish. The government has given its orders for these provisions to the farmers and fishermen’ of Japan, who, when they receive the money de- posit {t in banks mostly, and when a national loan is called for, are pre- pared to loan the government the very money that they have been paid. Add to this the fact that all the powder used by the Japs in the field ts manu- factured at home, and it is evident why there is but 30 per cent. left to go ‘out of the country.” Gln tt Se In Russian cities, according to an English traveler, the taking of acab is matter of bargaining, for though there {a a printed tariff somewhere, the cab- man cannot read it. If you know the distance you walk along the cab rank calling out your destination and your price—about a quarter of what you would pay in London and a tenth of the New York demand. When you have passed the last cab you will hear a clat- ter behind, and a driver will implore you to step in. If you do not know the distance you ask the fare; divide the answer by four and walk on. Curses! Invocation of saints! Drivers raise their arms to heaven in horror. Walk calm- ly on, and there is a race to pick you up. -Nor is there ever « dispute at the end. ‘Willing to Trade.

All the day long he puts in his time in his offices on the fifth floor of the Teutonic Build. ing, but before and after business hours he is assisting to keep the ball rolling for Fred W.

Jacob Harris, the judicial custodian of the property of the Cook County Democracy 145 and 147 Randolph st. is engaged in filing his report to Judge Brentano who appointed him.
