Lieutenant Turnley Ends His Life After an Attempt to Murder His Wife Ex-Lieutenant Henry Turnley Takes His Life. Sad Ending of Their Long Drawnout Domestic Troubles Lieutenant Turnle After an Attempt Wife Ex-Lie Turnley Take Sad Ending o Drawnout Done No one will ever be able to write the true history or story of the long drawn out domestic troubles, which existed between former Lieutenant Henry Turnley, of the Eight Regiment Illinois National Guards, and his extremely loving and beautiful wife Mrs. Carrie Phelps—Turnley, whom he attempted to murder last Sunday night, while at the same time sending a bullet through his own brains. Henry Turnley, who ended his life in such a dramatic manner was about 33 years old; he was well educated, and at the time of his death he was one of the Registry, clerks in the Chicago Postoffice. He was a mason and a prominent K. P. A. member of the Appomattox Club, and also a member of the Eight Regiment, 1 National Guards, and honorably served his country with it in Cuba, during the Spanish-American war, and he in company with Harry Stanton McCard, who were Hospital stewards, wrote, a very fine and concise history of the Eight Regiment, which was published in this city, in 1899. Shortly after returning home from Cuba, he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Phelps, who was one of the most charming belles of Chicago, the wedding was a very brilliant affair, the newly married couple received many rare and costly presents, his father who is a wealthy Jewish gentleman, residing in St. Louis, presented his son, and daughter-in-law with a silver set which cost five hundred dollars, and he gave his son a fine house located at 4822 Evans ave. which cost five thousand and five hundred dollars, it was elegantly and richly furnished from caller to garret, and Mr. Turnley always dressed his wife in the height of fashion, he would not permit her to wash, iron, or sweep, nor to make or mend her own clothes, and with nothing to do but to sleep, eat, and comfort him, she soon became one of the queenly leaders of the South side smart set. Lleutenant Turnley endured many things for his wife's sake, in 1904, while Mrs. Turnley, and another lady were prowling around the camp at Springfield; she claimed "that one of the common soldiers had insulted her," and whether that was true or false, the soldier, was ordered to be stripped, he was chained to ground on all fours, and while in that position, Mr. Turnley rushed up in front of him, spat in his face, hiked him, and called him "A Black Son of A B," for daring to insult his wife, as from that day to the night of his tragic death, Mr. Turnley, was never without his revolver, for he was fearful that his life would be ended by the soldier that he had no greatly and grossly humiliated, that was one of the many things he endured for his pretty wife whom he claimed had proven false to him. Their long drawn out domestic troubles did not appear on the surface, nor become public gossip until the first of last May, and at that time so it is claimed by those who have taken sides with Mrs. Turnley "that she suddenly woke up one morning, and beheld Mr. Turnley, standing by her bedside with his revolver drawn, as though he intended to shoot her," shortly after that scene was enacted she left her lovely home, never more to return to it while he was on earth, and the next step: leading on up to the grand or final climax, Henry Trunley, resigned as one of the Lieutenants, of the Eight Regiment, so that he could be in a better position to fight two of his superior officers, whom he accused of becoming entirely too intimate with his loveable wife, and the latter part of July on the first of August Mrs. Turnley began divorce proceedings against her once beloved husband, charging him with "repeated cruelty, infidelity, an none support," the case would have come up in the superior court, October the 17th, and Mr. Turnley felt confident that he would have no trouble in proving in open court "the his wife had been untrue to him," and that several prominent members and officers of the Eight Regiment, had succeeded in alienating or winning his wife's love from him." In the meantime the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Turnley, continued to urge them to settle or adjust their long drawn out domestic troubles out of court, and last Sunday evening after Mr. Turnley, dined with Willis D. Grayson, who was at first to be one of his main witnesses against his wife, and later on, went over to the other side, he in company with Mr. Grayson, called on his wife, at $245 Wabash ave., for the sole purpose of talking over their affairs, and not with the object of inducing her to live with him again, so it is maintained by his friends. They arrived at her lodging place at about 8:20. He was informed at first that Mrs. Turnley "was not in, but she being fearful that he would start "something right there," she came to the door, stood for a few moments, disappeared, and finally came back and sat down with him on the steps where they held their last conversation, and in winding it up his last words spoken to her was "you haven'g got Col. Marshall, and Major Denson to help you now," those words in sulted her, she sprang to her feet and attempted to enter the door, then as quick as a flash of lightning he ripped out his revolver, pulled the trigger, and at the sametime grasping her by the wrist, without hesitating one minute. Mrs. Turnley, grabbed the barrel end of the revolver, and held onto it with a death like grip, and as he was standing one or two steps above her, they rolled ever each other to the bottom of the steps in their hand to hand fight and desperate struggle to control the revolver, finally she freed herself, and as she started to run up the steps, he sent a bullet after her which pierced her right ear, she fell forward on the steps, and exclaiming "you have killed me," at that instance, Mr. Washington who lives next door to where Mrs. Turnley was stopping, ran up to Mr. Turnley and said to him "My God man you have killed that woman:" then he walked to the edge of the sidewalk, paused a few moments, and sent a bullet clear through his head, and he died before he could be transported to the hospital, and from the time the first shot was fired, Mr. Grayson, disappeared and he has not been seen from that fateful night to the present time. time. Mrs. Turnley, was assisted into the house and when she learned that she had not been sent into the next world, with all her imperfections resting on her head, and when she was informed "That Mr. Turnley, was no more, it is said that she gave expression to HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, OCTOBER 7, 1905. 2 the following sentiments: "I am glad he is dead and out of the way!" On Monday afternoon Mr. Turnley's body was removed to the home of his mother Mrs. Turnley 6428 Vineennes ave. Funeral services were held over his remains yesterday morning at 10 o'clock which were conducted by Rev. Father Leaited. Interment at Oakwood. The coroner's inquest will be held Oct. 12. Now comes the question: Why is not so much capital, so placed, self sustaining? It is claimed that these "students" are to give at least a support for one; can many of them expect to carn a support in business when it cannot be done under "skill ed direction," and with the advantage of ownership? Much of that land was poor when bought; we have understood that the --- WASHINGTON "SUCCESSFUL?" With That $100,000 Deficit .Every Year at Tuskegee? Should Not Such a Plant Be Self-Sustaining, Asks Southern Paper—Do Pupils Distance Their Principal? (From the Florida Times-Union Democrat.) Perhaps the greatness of Booker T. Washington is now past controversy; except as a matter of individual opinion, with which we have now nothing to do. With certificates of that greatness filed everywhere and indorsed by a president who calls him as unofficial advisor in southern matters we must be content to wait for the verdict of history. But is he a type of the "successful man," even as a Negro? Has he succeeded in any lofty sense? Is he typical of the American, or of the Afro-American? If great he be, is his greatness personal and unique? The questions are pertinent just now because of assertions made by a representative of his school at the International Christian Workers' convention in Northfield, Mass., recently. There T. D. Stevenson of the Tuskegee faculty spoke on "The Black Man of the South," and gave us some figures on the Tuskegee institution, which may fairly be accepted as official. These are: 1. The institution has two thousand students from 3 states and some foreign countries, though the bulk of them come from the Black Belt of the south. Each student must "carry away a trade with him;" three days are spent in the school and three days in the field. One-fifth pay a nominal tuition fee of $50 a year; the others "work their way." 2. The institute has $500 acres of land and 90 buildings. It has been heavily endowed, but it still asks from its friends "gifts" of $100,000 per annum as necessary to its life and usefulness. 3. One thousand of the students are boys and men under 35 years of age; the others women and girls. The institute owns blooded stock and runs a dairy, etc. Now comes the question: Why is not so much capital, so placed, self-sustaining? It is claimed that these "students" are to give at least a support for one; can many of them expect to earn a support in business when it cannot be done under "skilled direction," and with the advantage of ownership? Much of that land was poor when bought; we have understood that the students were trained to care for the land, and money was sent from the north to buy fertilizers by the ton, besides those brands "manipulated" by the students under direction of the "faculty." Here are no expensive families to support, here the labor question does not enter as a problem, and the dangers of loss from storm, insects and cold are reduced to a minimum. Would not the average southern farmer be capable of "running" such an institution as this without the annual deficit of $100,000? Are those who are incapable of making a business success under such circumstances_best capable of giving "practical instruction"? Is the man who fails so signally in a most important particular really "successful," under the accepted definition of the word? Does it not detract from the principal's claims that some of his pupils have made institutions modeled after the original both self-supporting and independent without state, national or elemeosnary assistance, such as Tuskegee has constantly received and is receiving. For his initiative Booker Washington deserves both praise and appreciation; has he not been distanced by his pupils? Big tears or steers came into the eyes of Col. Poney Moore, after he had finished reading a copy of the last issue of The Broad Ax, and he declared, so it is said, "that married colored women did not frequent his resort for evil purposes, that they entered it simply to look at his fine place." Who said rats? Col Moore failed to explain how it happened that his gang of toughs and hangers on not so long ago relieved a white lady of a large sum of money and some valuable diamonds, while she was hobnobbing with some of his reprobate patrons and it would not be hard work for some persons that the writer knows to call the names of one or two married colored ladies who have been touched up for their money and their diamonds while visiting the Hotel De Moore, with while "The Stage" in Greater New York The Upward Advance of Colored American Actors and Producers. Interesting Personal and Professional Comment. The opening of the theatrical season offers many sweet surprises and a number of real musical feasts for the ever devoted and appreciative theatre goers. This is especially so with our several Colored organizations, who have, or, are about to begin, their tours for the season of 1905'06. That there has been a fervent desire on the part of each productor, and director as well, to supply and substantiate something of a higher and cleaner quality in the standard of music and entertainment, this year is much more in evidence and offered in more reasonable diversion, than has been the custom in many seasons past. That the typical colored star is improving in the detailed interest and execution of his work, is evidenced by the undiminished perseverance and deserving success of such distinguished and worthy artists as Mr. Billy Young and Sherman Dudley of the "Samtr Set Co." Mr. Billy Young former owner and co-star with McCabe and Young's Minstrels, was the first Negro star to head a Negro organization of such magnitude of its time, and the first to play his company before a Metropolitan audience. Mr. Sherman Dudley's rise to a stellar plane in the profession has been in some ways phenominal, for a few years ago, he was comparatively unknown in the East as a performer, much less as a star and clever original comedian. Since his assumption of the leading role of "G. W. Bullylon" in the cast of the "Smart Set" (made famous by our clever star Mr. Ernest Hogan) Mr. Dudley has done some excellent work in his somewhat original version of the dialect-character of "Mr. Bullylon." With persistent study and devotion to the art and to reason, Mr. Sherman Dudley is sure to rise to an invaluable station among our limited galaxy of real dialect stars. Mr. Billy Johnson, who justly deserves the full credit of successfully establishing, along with Bob Cole, the name and reputation of the now famous firm of "Cole & Johnson," has become one of our successful stagers and producers. Mr. Johnson originated and directed the action of the entire "Smart Set" company's "stage business" for the season of 1905-6, and he is already established as a capable song writer and composer. Many of the acts that have been a hit on "Broadway" during the past few years, came from the brain and pen of our indispensable author, actor and producer, Mr. Billy Johnson, of Greater New York. The "Smart Set" company is comprised of about 60 experienced artists and performers and aside from the clever people already mentioned, the other among the able cast include: Mr. Gus Hill, who did great work with Mattei Phillips, the popular comedienne in Black Pattie's show a few season's ago; and Mr. Alphena Gilman, the noted youthful tramp comedian and mimic, whom several critics of authority claim is a worthy successor to the former clever tramp comedian "Bob" Cole. Greater New York Advance of Colored Actors and Pro- personal and Pro- mment. production and is giving thorough sat- satisfaction in the capacity of its musi- cal director. Another artist and leader of international repute, who has accomplished pronounced success in the encouragement and in active work of quality entertainment, is no less a celebrity and prima donna than the "Black Adelina Patti" (known also as Mme. Sisseretta Jones), of the Black Patti Troubadours. It is a concession of simple truth when we assert that more than half the Negro artists and performers worthy of mention have either one time or another secured work, advice and encouragement under this Unbleached American Queen of song-birds. Madam Patti has produced (and introduced the initiative) in featuring in her various vehicles, whole scenes from the several Master's Operas, with complete success, and she has toured the Yankee continent with them. Madam Patti sings in French, German, and Italian, as well as English, and she is a scholar and a Christian, as well as a Prima Donna and a lady. Mr. A. F. Witts, who wrote the book for the Troubadours this season, is a clever comedian and is also stage manager for Madam Patti. Among other well known entertainers with her are: Mr. John Rucker, the popular, dialect singing comedian, and Gertrude Peterson, the soubrette. The show has about 50 people this season, which is the tenth annual tour of Madam Patti's. With a large company she is traveling in her own private car with her company, and is now playing in Texas, en route on her "Grand International En-tourage of North and South America, Mexico, Cuba, and Porto Rica. The report of the Patti company from Saratoga Springs, New York, said the show was better and stronger that it had been in several seasons, and that the Madam had regained all the old sweet tone and volume of her voice again. The business staff of the Patti company is, R. Voeckel, manager, advance; Al. F. Wattz, stage director; G. D. Allen, master mechanic, and E. D. Kunz is director of the Troubadours. By Carle B.

Terrell, one of the leading physicians of Memphis, Tenn., is in the city, and contemplates opening a sanitarium in that city. He is here taking notes along that line. 1 Daniel G. Ramsay, Democratic candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, is a clear headed lawyer and well fitted to discharge the judicial duties which will be placed on his shoulders after November 7th. Alderman John J. Bradley, so far has never lost out in any political battle he has entered, and that means that he will be elected as one of the Trustees of the Drainage Canal on November 7th. Hon. Frank Wenter is ever guardful of the interest of the people and by reason of that fact he stands pat with all the newspapers in Cook county, and they will assist to elect him President of the new Drainage Canal Board. One of the Leading Colored Republican Politicians is a great chum of Col. Poney Moore. He spends much of his time in his joint and some night the police will drag him in, in their raid on that notorious sink hole of iniquity. Last Sunday the members and friends of Queen Esther Mission, 5040 State street, tendered a free will offering to its pastor, Mrs. Rev. Mary Lark-Hill. Well on to $30 was lifted for her benefit, which sum will greatly aid or assist her in her evangelical work. Miss Edna Gray, of St. Paul, a $900 clerk and stenographer in the Patent Office at Washington, was recently promoted as a recognition of her faithful and efficient service. There are two other Afro-American copyists in this department, eight messengers and twenty laborers. The Douglss Centre Club had an excellent program, Sunday afternoon, and a large crowd attended. Mrs. Fannie Barrier William's paper on the "Negro in Art" was very interesting, while the tenor solo by Mr. J. Gray Lucas, and plano solo by Miss Ida Hall were also applauded. Attorney Dan Morgan Smith, one of William Randolph Hearst's shouters and leaders has been appointed Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago. In 1902 Mr. Smith made a hopeless race for Congress in the Third Congressional District, but with the advertising he then received forced himself in line for new honors. Major Edgar B. Tolman, candidate to succeed the late Judge Henry M. Shepard, is one of the most profound and popular lawyers in this city, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that with his unattained record as Corporation Counsel, the people will see to it that he is elected one of the judges of Cook county. Through the efforts of the Western Negro Press Association, the Pope at Rome has used his influence against lynching and burning in the U. S., and it can be said that no Catholic can be found participating in mob violence and that no Negro Catholic is ever lynched. What's the matter with the protestants?—Ex. Chas, H. Smiley's fame as the leading and the most popular caterer in the west is keeping him on the jump. Wednesday evening he lit out for Racine, Wis., where he served a select party, and on Thursday morning, J. Hockley Smiley went to Aurora with a special car loaded down with good things which were dished up to the bloods of that city. Wednesday evening Rev. D. P. Roberts, the up-to-date and honorable pastor of Quinn chapel, was tendered a reception in honor of his return to it for another year, by its members and friends. It was a delightful affair and well attended and it demonstrated one fact that Rev. Roberts in one year's time by his business-like methods has won his way into the hearts of the people of Chicago. The recital to be given by Mr. W Kemper Harreld at Bethel church Monday evening October 9th, who will be assisted by some of the best musical talent in this city promises to be a very fine affair. The proceeds are to assist the musical department of the church, and Mrs. Annie W. Fitts and Mrs. Emma Kalfus and the other ladies connected with it are working very hard to make it a success. The address of the National Afro-American Council to the people of the United States which met at Detroit, Mich., lately, is indeed a very weak dopement. It will cause not a ripple on the sea of agitation which is now enveloping the Negro. It lacks courage and manliness on the part of those who promiligated it. Therefore it will create no sentiment in favor of encharging the citizenship rights of the Negro. The Afro-Americans of Nashville, Tenn., in order to evade riding in the "Jim Crow" street cars of that city have organized the Union Transportation company and they have acquired five automobiles for the new pose of transporting the Colored passengers to the various parts of the city. It is to be hoped that they will cut into the receipts of the street car companies so strongly that they will be eager and willing to abolish the "Jim Crow" street car law. The Major Lawyer who was one of the head men in the Grand March at the Frederick Douglass Centre Charity Ball, is always hanging around Poncy Moore's resort, where he likes to meet the fair ladies, and blow off to them about his lovely mustache and his pretty light face, but he had better be careful, for he may be run in by the police, and that would break the hearts of the beautiful, society queens belonging to the four hundred. Rev. Father Lealted, who has been the rector of St. Thomas church since 1896, will shortly resign and move to St. Paul, Minn., with his family, where he will be in charge of the Episcopal church. Father Lealted has many friends in this city who very much regret, to learn that he has decided to absent himself from St. Thomas, where he was laying a strong foundation for a new church, and his friends all join in wishing him success in his new field of labor. Mrs. Ida May Marshall, at the home of Mrs. Johnson, 129 W. 51st street, was on last Thursday morning united in marriage to Rev. White of Marysville, Ky., Presiding Elder of the M. E. church, Cincinnati, Ohio. Rev. John W. Robinson of Covington, Ky., performed the ceremony. The house was decorated with a profusion of flowers and brilliantly illuminated. The wedding breakfast was served at 12 o'clock and at 2 o'clock the happy bride and groom left on their bridal tour for Buffalo, N. Y. They will be at home to their friends in Cincinnati, Ohio, after the 15th of October. Editor Clayton, of the Seattle, Washington, Republican, takes a sane view of the racial, or Booker T. Washington-John Wannamaker dinner controversy. Some of the exchanges are making themselves ridiculous. There is no logical basis for the argument propounded by the Chicago Broad-Ax and the Boston Guardian.—The Forum, Springfield, Ill. There is only one question involved in the Washington-Wannamaker controversy, and that is if Prof. Washington is really an American citizen then he does not need to apologize to any one for dining with Mr. A, or Mr. B. The Willing Worker's Club of St. Thomas church will give its annual benefit entertainment for its Rector, Rev. A. H. Lealted, at the home of Mrs. Robert A. Williams, 3544 Dearborn St., Wednesday evening, Oct.11. There will be string music, other amusements, including a little shaking of the feet. Oysters will be served as you like them from 6 to 12 o'clock. The following ladies will have charge of the affair: Mrs. Robt A. Williams, chairman, Mesdames A. E. Brown, F. Emanuel, R. A. Miller.

It has become one of our most essential and humane enterprise, and all speak of it with pride as a growing power for the betterment of our great city's children whose moral and physical beings must be cared for, or pass rapidly down to penal institutions and rules. Let every one come, send, or in some very substantial manner show their interest in and desire for the alleviation of suffering humanity, and the uplifting of the coming generation. The hope of the race lies in lifting all the lowly. The others will climb, will soar. THE MUSICAL BENEFIT For Samuel D. Howard At Grace Presbyterian Church Wash Largely Attended and a Brilliant Success. Monday evening a high class musical was given at Grace Presbyterian church, for the benefit of Samuel D. Howard, one of its members who has been sick for a long time. Prof. N. Clark Smith and his orchestra led off with the introductory which was very pleasing to the audience which filled every seat in the church. Miss Gertrude Jackson followed with a plano solo. Mrs. Patti E. Brown, the sweet song bird of Bethel church came next. Miss Irene Howard followed with several excellent and thrilling cornet solos. Mr. Geo W. Henderson was at his best and captivated the audience with his fine singing. Mr. Felix Ware rendered several exceedingly fine selections on his violin, demonstrating the fact that he is one of the masters of that art. Each and every person participating in the program were called back twice, and were presented with a large handsome bouquet, by Jackson Gordon manager of the affair, who in connection with Albert B. George. Mrs. J. S. Tandy and the other ladies and gentlemen connected with it deserve much credit in so successfully planning it and at the same time causing it to be financially successful, as almost $100 was turned over to Mr. Howard and his family, Tuesday morning, which is the largest sum so far realized from any entertainment given for his benefit. Frederick Douglass Centre. 3032 Wabash ave. Mrs Celia Parker Woolley is absent from the city for a few days. She will return Oct. 14th. Mrs. Mary Redfield Plummer will speak on Sunday, Oct. 8th at 3 p.m. Subject, "Prayers of the Ages." The I. B. W. Club will meet this Thursday, Oct. 12th, at 2 p.m. The F. D. C. Forum held its first regular meeting Monday, October 2d. Mr. Clarence Darrow spoke on "The Negro and the Strlke." The address was followed by a lively but good-natured discussion. THE VERY OLDEST VESSEL. Built in Philadelphia in 1764 and Probably Still in Service in England. Speaking of the life of ships the other day, George F. Sproule, secretary of the board of port wardens, said about the oldest vessel he knows of is the True Love, which if she is afloat to-day is 149 years old, says the Philadelphia Record. The True Love was built in this city in 1764, and though she was only 96 feet and eight inches long, and of 26 feet beam, she was the largest ship that had been in these waters up to that time. She sailed from this port in 1765, and did not return until 1873, when she was 109 years old. She came in with a load of cryolite from Ivigtut, Greenland. Then she sailed again and was no longer heard of until discovered in 1899 in the Thames river, England, where shorn of her glory, she was and possibly still is doing service as a coal barge. There was a proposal among shipping men here to purchase her and bring her over as a relic of bygone days and honest workmanship, but it never came to anything. Maid and the Dispensary. It is commonly supposed that the persons who use the public dispensaries cannot afford to pay a doctor. If the dispensary statistics are large then (it is thought) the number out of work is very great. This is not a fair inference. A large number of the patrons of dispensaries are poor, but a large number are not. At Johns Hopkins hospital a story is told of a woman, who, after being treated, fingered in the dispensary. "Is there anything further, madam?" a young doctor asked "Oh, no; I'm just waiting till they've treated my maid."—World's Work. Electricity and Dysmenia A scientific han in Buffalo proclaims that he has discovered that working about high voltage electric apparatus results in "grave disturbances of the digestive organs, loss of appetite, distress after eating," and a whole train of dyspneptic symptoms.

"Well, I suppose he wasn't the only man in those days who couldn't write his name," replied Mrs. Uppish.—Stray Stories UNDESERVED REPUTATION. Americans have the reputation of always being in a hurry. Prof. Munsterberg believes this is undeserved. In his book, "The American," he says: "Superficial observers have often supposed the American to be always in a hurry, whereas the opposite is the case. The man who has to hurry has badly disposed of his time, and therefore has not the necessary amount to finish any one piece of work. "The American is never in a hurry, but he so disposes of his precious time that nothing shall be lost. He will not wait, nor be a moment idle. One thing follows closely after another with admirable precision. Each task is finished in its turn. Appointments are made and kept on the minute; and the result is that not only no unseemly haste is necessary, but also there is time for everything. "It is astonishing how well-known men in political, economic or intellectual life, who are loaded with a thousand responsibilities and an apparently unreasonable amount of work, have, by dint of the wonderful disposition of their own time and that of their assistants, really enough for everything and even to spare." "Among the many things for which the American has time by reason of his economical management of it are even some which seem unnecessary for the busy man. He expends, for example, an extraordinarily large fraction of his time in attending to his costume and person, in sport and in reading newspapers, so that the notion which is current in Europe that the American is not only always in a hurry, but has time for nothing outside of his work, is entirely wrong." ONE VOTE THAT GOT AWAY It Happened Because the Bass-Drummer Didn't Get In Licks Enough to Suit. When the late Melbourne H. Ford made his run for congress he overlooked nothing that he thought would improve his chances of election. One of his moves was the taking of an orchestra to a meeting held in one of the small towns near Grand Rapids, relates the Detroit Free Press. This generous departure may have won him several votes, but it unquestionably lost him one. Every village has its character, and the one there was "Ucle Ike." Whenever that orchestra broke forth "Uncle Ike" fastened a fierce glance upon the bass drummer. During the ordeal the jaws of the village character worked lie those of a buck rabbit eating cabbage, and his white beard of the spinach pattern waved furiously in unison. Next morning one of those who had watched the actions of "Uncle Ike" drew him out on the subject keeping in mind that he played the bass drum in the local "sheepskin" band, and that jealousy seems an inseparable part of the musical temperament. "I suppose that you'll vote for Ford, Uncle Ike?" "Then you better hire some smarter feller to do your supposin'. No man kin have my support that washes his own money like it was water." "What do you mean, Uncle Ike?" in what do you like, once I die? "Well, you hain't no musician, but I'd like to know what sense there was in payin' out omney fur haulin' that bass drum and the man with it clean out here. He didn't hit the durned thing more'n four times, and he was out o' tune every doggone hit." THE NEW INDIAN VICEROY. Lord Minto, who becomes viceroy of India at the age of 58, has had a career full of interest, says the Westminster Gazette. He was fighting with the Turkish army in 1877; he was with Lord Roberts in Afghanistan in 1879; and he accompanied the latter to the cape as private secretary in 1881. A year later he was taking part in the suppression of Arabi Pasha, and though wounded recovered in time to serve as chief of staff to Gen. Middleton against Riel-in the Canadian rebellion of 1885. He also had experience of the horrors of Paris during the commune, and at another time was implicated with the Carlists in Spain. In earlier days Lord Minto distinguished himself at Cambridge in various ways. On taking his degree, for instance, he entered the senate house with his bachelor's gown covering a highly unacademic costume which ended in breeches and boots. At this conclusion of the ceremony he mounted his horse, galloped ten miles and reached his destination just in time to win the University Steeplechase. Later he rode in the Grand National five times. He also won the French Grand National, being the only amateur jockey in a field of 18. Mr. Popley—What! You never would let me raise— "I know.

Charm of manner may be an acquisition as well as an endowment. Manner is much more subtle than manners, writes Mrs. Burton Kingsland, in Success Magazine. Manners may take on a fine polish, but manner is the unconscious expression of the inner self, of the personality which, when revealing a lovely soul, is the most commanding and persuasive force that one can exert. A loud laugh, an over-vivacious manner betrays a lack of breeding. Copy the stillness of form, the quiet poise, which is the great charm of English women, while a vivacity somewhat under restraint adds that which is winning and piquante in the manner of our own country women. In sitting, place one foot slightly in advance of the other, as a Frenchwoman always does. There will then be no effort needed to rise properly—it is done without strain on any one's set of muscles, and is natural, easy and graceful. When one has spent a day or more in visiting at a friend's house, ordinary courtesy demands that, on one's return home, a note shall be written promptly to the hostess, thankening her for her pleasant hospitality. A gentleman does not make a girl conspicuous by over-attention nor shun her when he is thrown into her society simply because she does not attract him. A man, acknowledging a lady's recognition in a restaurant, or hotel dining-room, should rise partly from his chair. A gentleman never leaves a lady alone during an entr' act at the theater. Politeness is the best defense against other people's bad manners. An engaged girl should accept from her lover only such gifts as might be returned to him uninjured, should the engagement be broken. It is bad form to offer or accept wearing apparel. Many persons prefer not to announce their engagement until there is a prospect of their marriage taking place within a year. The form of announcement of an engagement, among persons who make a fashion by following it, is by note. The young woman writes to her girl friends and the man to his intimates; the mothers of the "happy pair" also write to those whom they desire shall receive early information. The recipients of the pleasant news then pass it on. In choosing subjects of conversation, some one has aptly said that the three "d's" should be avoided—"dress, domestics and diseases." It is sometimes kinder and in better taste to accept a compliment than to parry it. FASHIONABLE LACE COAT. Such an Article in One's Wardrobe Helps Out in Transformation of a Plain Dress. For a tea or coffee coat piece lace is quite the smartest fabric, and nothing is more useful for table d'hote, etc., when traveling, than one of these smart little garments. The one shown here is set into a band at the waist, covered with a swathed cordet, and finds its completion 220 VERY MUCH THE MODR in a short added basque. It hooks down the center front, the ends of a wide ribbon folded inside the V-shaped opening being caught down from a smart bow on the figure line to hide the fastening. To Cleanse the Face Few women know how to clean their faces. The face is more exposed to sun, dust and weather than any other part of the body and therefore should be cleansed more and more carefully. Soften the skin with cloths wrung out of hot water, then apply thoroughly a good cold cream, after which a thorough rubbing with a camel's hair brush will leave few impurities in the porous. Rose water, eight ounces; one half ounce of borax, and two ounces of strained lemon juice makes a lotion excellent for removing tan. Embroidery in Favor. Fall importations in wool gowns are made in velling and are three-piece suits, with short jackets and having the blouses made with transparent wool lace and cuffs exactly matching the material in shade. Invitations. An invitation to a dinner is always addressed to both the husband and wife, but when other members of the same family, or guests stopping in the house are asked, separate invitations are sent to each one.

THE AMERICAN PARTY WHIP A Well-Dressed Populist—Report Favoring Restoration of Army Canteen—Recreation for Employees in the Canal Zone. ASHINGTON. — It is not generally known that the man who has been acting secretary of war for the past three months is a soldier of practical experience. Robert Shaw Oliver, who wears the title of "general" on account WASHINGTON. — It is not generally known that the man who has been acting secretary of war for the past three months is a soldier of practical experience. Robert Shaw Oliver, who wears the title of "general" on account of his position in the New York militia, is a regular army officer, who gave up his career as a military man away back in 1869 because of the almost hopeless outlook for promotion. He was about to attain his captaincy, after having seen hard fighting in the civil war, but took the advice of a friend and resigned. Had he remained in the service he would undoubtedly have been a major general to-day. The argument advanced to him and which led to his resignation was put to him in this way: "There is a big hump ahead in the army. You will grow old as captain of a company of men. You may reach the rank of major, and if you stay in the army you will likely die as a major. A business career offers more attractions. Should there be hostilities you can get back in the army again with just as good a rank as though you served continuously." Sometimes Gen. Oliver regrets that he did not remain in the army, especially when he sees a brother officer, a captain in the Eighth cavalry when Oliver was a first lieutenant in the same, now on the retired list as a lieutenant general. This officer is Gen. S.B. M. Young, the predecessor of Gen. Chaffee in command of the army. But Gen. Oliver has had many consolations for the sacrifice of his military ambitions. He came of a military family, especially on his mother's side. She was a Shaw in a line that has been famous in New England for three or four generals. Gen. Oliver still shows his military training in an erect carriage, a direct, almost abrupt, manner, and is a remarkably handsome and well preserved gentleman. Mr. Tawney Wishes to Retire. E P R E S E N T A t i v e James A. Tawney, of Minnesota, who has been the republican "whip" of the house for several congresses, expresses a desire to give up that distinction and retire to the ranks. This position is REPRESENTATIVE James A. Tawney, of Minnesota, who has been the republican "whip" of the house for several congresses, expresses a desire to give up that distinction and retire to the ranks. This position is one conferred by party caucuses, and Mr. Tawney, on account of his activity, tact and loyalty to the leadership of the party, has been chosen again and again to attend to this work. The position of "party whip" has descended to the American house from the British parliament, where the "whip," who has the power of arranging pairs, is second only to the speaker of the house of commons in importance. In the American house of commons the "whip" looks after pairs, but, in addition, has important political duties to perform. When there is a measure to be voted on that is known as a party measure it is his duty to see that all the members of his party are in attendance and that none loses his vote through failure to arrange a pair with the opposition Mr. Tawney has been very successful in his management of party matters on the floor of the house, and has frequently saved his-party from defeat. Probably the best work Mr. Tawney ever did was in connection with the passage of the Porto Rican tariff bill. The republicans only had a majority of 13 in the house, and there were six of these opposed to the bill, and there were four republicans absent without pairs. By skillful work and staying up ali night prior to the final vote, Mr. Tawney succeeded in pairing the absent members and securing the consent of the republicans opposed to the measure to remain unpaired, and as a result the bill passed by a majority of nine. Mr. Tawney feels that he has earned the right to retire from this trying position, and wants to abdicate in favor of some other republican in the next house. T HE other day Washington was brightened by a visit from Col James Hamilton Lewis, now of Chicago, but at one time a member of congress from the state of Washington. The genial Lewis, whose aureole whiskers have been the theme of poets and writers since he first made his bow as a public character, has thousands of friends throughout the country, but in no city does he count more than lie does in the nation's capital. He is an example of a man turning ridicule into political and professional capital, and through excessive notoriety securing opportunity to display the real talents of which he is possessed. Col. Lewis' advent in congress is still one of the cherished reminiscences of the house. He came here as a populist in the ranks with Jerry Simpson and men of that kind. He was too shrewd to appear on the opening day of congress and take the cath of office in company with 356 other members. Two days later he showed up, and when called on to subscribe to the cath he had an opportunity of attracting the attention of everyone as he walked down the center aisle, dressed in immaculate style, with his sunset whiskers brushed and flowing, trousers creased and his whole get up an impressive example of the sartorial art. The other populists in the house grinned, while the republicans and democrats sat amazed at this anomalous picture where they had been led to expect a man with hayseed in his hair and wearing a six dollar hand-medown suit of clothes. Col. Lewis counted on making a sensation, and he was not disappointed. From that day he was a marked figure in the house, and he never hesitated to inject himself into debate on subjects with which he was familiar. He was always thoroughly posted on his subject, and the late Speaker Reed on more than one occasion expressed his admiration for this aggressive sunburst from the great northwest. Col. Lewis' congressional career made him a national figure, which has been turned to good account in the pursuit of his profession of the law. He is now a corporation counsel for Chicago and is making more money than many of his old populistic colleagues ever dreamed of. Drunkenness Among Soldiers M AJ. GEN. FREDERICK D. Grant has raised his voice in favor of the restoration of the canteen to army posts. In his annual report just published he calls attention to the increase in drunkenness among soldiers and consequent desertions and court-martials, which he attributes to the misguided efforts of very good people in securing the abolishment of the army canteen. The soldiers now go outside the army posts and patronize the lowest saloons and resorts, where formerly they did the little drinking they felt like indulging in at the post under proper restrictions and regulations, and were more contented and better conditioned. Mai. Harrod, of the Panama canal commission, advocates the establishment on the canal zone of the old army canten, with its sale of beer and other light drinks. He does not advocate what might be classed as "wide open" saloons, but believes that caneens or clubs should be established, where men could go and enjoy innocent games of cards, billiards or bowling and, if so minded, could secure a limited amount of light drinks. Recreation and rational amusement for American employees, he thinks, would help solve the problem of making the canal zone habitable for Americans. Mai. Gen. Wood in the Philippines. in the Philippines. AJ. GEN. LEON- ord Wood seems to be on the direct road to become lieutenant general of the army within a comparatively few years. He has discr edited the story that he was to remain in this country to go upon the general M staff and find his way to the top of the latter in that manner. He will go back to the Philippines within the next few weeks and continue in the line of duty there. His determination to forego a pleasant berth in Washington, which undoubtedly could have been his, is looked on as a very shrewd move on his part, as active duty in the field is more likely to reconcile some of the old men in the army to the idea of his rapid promotion than would a stay in Washington. It is generally believed that the continuation of his duties in the Philippine islands will mean that Gen. Wood will succeed Gen. Corbin as commander of the Philippine division. There is more opportunity in those far off island possessions for an officer to make a reputation than in any other department of the army. As Gen. Corbin's successor, he may have an opportunity to add to his reputation, and it is predicted that before President Roosevelt's term expires Gen. Wood will be at the head of the army as commander general. Gen. Wood has made some very strong recommendations regarding the army in the Philippines, and even his worst critics must admit that he shows a comprehensive knowledge of the situation there and the reforms that are needed. He recommends an increased pay allowance for the non commissioned officers, he recommends the abandonment of the old haversack, the adoption of a shorter overcoat and the issuance of the bolo to all foot troops. He asks for an increase of pay to expert riflemen and makes other suggestions that are recognized as eminently practicable and very valuable. Among other things he suggests that efforts he made to have a number of officers acquire a knowledge of Chinese and Japanese. WARM KNICKERS FOR BABY These Are Suitable for Either Indoor or Outdoor Wear and Not at All Hard to Make. This little garment will be found very useful for either in or outdoor wear when the feet do not need to be covered too. It is very easy to make, and would require about two ounces of white Andalusian, and a suitable bone hook. Work a chain ten inches in length, turn and work a double crochet into each chainstitch,* turn with one chain, and work a double crochet in the back thread of each stitch in the previous row; repeat from * until the work is 24 inches long—more or less as may be required. Join the last row to the foundation chain with single crochet, and fasten off. Fold the work so as to bring the seam to the middle of the back. Sew OVERALL KNICKERS. the two lower edges together for about three inches in the middle, that is 1½ inch on each side of the seam. This will leave an opening on either side the join for the legs, round each of which work as follows: First Row: A double crochet with one chain between into every other stitch (each rib) all round. 2nd Row: Work up a loop through each of the first four stitches of the previous row (5 loops on hook), wool over and draw through all the loops at once, and make a chainstitch to hold them together. * work a loop under the chainstitch just made, another through the back thread of the last loop of the previous group, and one into each of the next two stitches: draw through all five loops at once, secure with a chainstitch, and repeat from * all round. 3d and 4th Rows: Same as last but pass over the end stitch of each row so as to decrease a little. 5th Row: Two trebles with two chains between into every other stitch all round. 6th Row: Five trebles with a chain between each under the nearest chain loop,* a double crochet under the next, five trebles with a chain between each under the next, and repeat from * all round. 7th Row: Four chain under each chain between the trebles, and a double crochet on the double crochet between the groups. The fifth row to be threaded with a chain and tassels of wool, or with narrow ribbon, as preferred. Round the top work a treble with one chain between into every other stitch all round. Last Row: Four chains under each chain between the trebles. Thread the treble row with a chain and tassels made of the wool. THE APPROVED FALL HAT. Like That of the Summer It Is Perched High on the Head by a Bandau. The poise of the hat again this season is of special importance. The newest models are so placed in the head that in many instances they seem absurd. These turn up at the back with the most exaggerated flares and tip over the nose with stingy front brims, says the Milliner. These high back effects, with the exception of the turban, is peculiar to them all. In many cases on the imported models the front brim measures two or two and a half inches in width. The sides run about five and the back run into seven and ten inches. This effect is exaggerated by the high bandeaux and the arrangement of feathers, ribbons and flowers. The equilibrium of the new hats is given by the bandeau, and in the majority of these this bandeau extends all the way round the head size. The bandeau has become so necessary a part of the new frames that these are manufactured in all shapes, and may be had from any dealer. This is a great labor saving to the milliner. Some of the Paris patterns are set on such high bandeaus that they are perched on the head at fairly dizy angles. Full of color and of such saucy make-up, it is not likely that they will be taken so seriously this side of the water. Other bandeaux lift the hat at the left, while many of the newer models show the right side with upward curve. The bandeau is used in all cases where the forward tilt is desired, and almost every model has it. Yawns for Health. Yawning for health is advocated by a German professor of gymnastics. He maintains that deep yawning, practised as a regular exercise, is the cheapest and surest road to perfect health. The expansion of the breast bones and the stretching of the arms which accompany a whole-hearted yawn, together with the filling of the lungs, form a splendid daily exercise.

They must have traveled 400 miles. The birds were in a very ex- hausted condition, but after a fresh- ‘water bath and plenty of food they re- vived. The black swan is « powerful swimmer, but 400 miles at sea is a long swim, even for him. Awards for Big Families. A report of the awards made by the Lincolnshire (England) Agricultural society to farm labrorers who bring up the largest families without having re- celved parochial help shows that eight men are fathers of 124 children. One of the men had 2% children born, brought up 17, and placed 12 out in the world.

Without turning his head he looked down and saw a busy hand trying to work it out of his shirt front. He at once worked his right hand behind his back and took the other fellow's watch. When he had it securely in his pocket he turned around and said: "Say, Bill, I was in the same line myself not long ago."—N. Y. Sun. What Their Names signify. Siberia signifies "thirsty." Sicily is "the country of grapes," Caledonia means "a high hill." Asia signifies "in the middle," because ancient geographers thought it lay between Europe and Africa. Italy signifies "a country of pitch," from its yielding great quantities of black pitch. Bikhla is "atmost" or "last habitation," for beyond this the Phoenicians never extended their voyages to the westward. Britain is "the country of tin." Hard Luck "Luck never manages things just right," said the irritable man who dislikes music. "It might just as well have been the other way round, but it wasn't." "What is the trouble now?" "My daughter, who plays the piano, has a sore throat, and the one who sings has a sore finger."—Chicago Journal. Womanly Beauty This generation has seen in a remarkable fashion the results of popular expectation and general habits on physical development in the case of women. The number of tall and strong girls now is most striking; and equally so are the beauty and vitality of many women who are past the fifth birthday.—London News. Encouraging the Barb Hicks—Penniman shaves himself, doesn't he? Wicks—Yes, and he's got an awful nerve "How's that?" "He'll give himself a clean shave and then walk right into a barber shop for a hair cut."—Philadelphia Ledger. Lucky Clerk. A clerk in a Portsmouth (Eng.) solicitor's office had a stroke of luck the other day. He happened so to please a wealthy_woman client that she offered him $10,000 down, or $15,000 in her will. He declared for the money on the nail, and got it by check the following day. An Admission. "Have you read the 'Last Days of Pompeii?' asked the man who likes old-time novels. "No," answered Mrs. Cumrox, with a charming air of confiding frankness; "to tell the truth I haven't even read the first ones."—Washington Star. The Lucky Monarch Sultan Abdul Hamed has more luck than any occupant of a throne has ever known. When one reflects what chance has done for this man since the beginning of his reign one cannot but be amazed at the fantasy of fortune. He Told Her Why. "Why, misery loves company, you know."—Chicago Daily News. Mosquitoes in London. There is in London an undoubted plague of mosquitoes. They are being found all over the metropolis, and in many places have given considerable work to the medical practitioners and to the hospitals. Wireless in New Zealand WHERE IS THE NEW ZEALAND POSTMASTER GENERAL HOPE, with the cooperation of AUSTRALIA, to have wireless telegraphy established across the Tasman sea within 12 months. The cost will be £23,000. Value of Cross-Eyes. An English burglar says thieves, who are always very superstitious, will never rob a house in which a cross-eyed servant is employed. Save your cross-eyed servants. Aged Whales. Whales from 300 to 400 years old are sometimes met with. The age is ascertained by the size and number of layers of the whalebone, which increases yearly. Another valuable addition to Italy's treasures in medieval works of art has just been brought to light. In the old church of Cireggio, near Omegna, some internal repaire and structural cleaning are being carried out. Among the rest a thick coating of whitewash has been removed. Fortunately, with a view to possible discoveries underneath, this was done with care, with the result that there have been found six beautiful frescoes of the best period of Italian art. They are all by the eminent painter Grandenzio Ferrari. The color is said to be splendid. Freek Dinners. Attacks having been made in the newspapers on the "freak" dinners of millionaires, the secretary of the Savoy hotel, London, replies that they are good for trade. The celebrated "gondola dinner," given by an American recently, gave employment to 100 carpenters, 30 painters and 20 decorators, all at "fancy" wages, and put money into the pockets of numerous electricians, florists, artists and other workers. Change for Song Writers China is anxious to have a national anthem, being much impressed by the fact that Japan has provided itself with one. The viceroy of Chili province, in which Peking is situated, has commissioned Prefect Lo Yingkeng, who has composed some pieces of music on lines combining foreign and Chinese characteristics, to see about the matter. Rahuked. "Father," said a boy of 12, "can you tell me who Shylock was?" "What!" exclaimed the father in an aggrieved tone, "have I sent you to Sunday school for the last six or seven years only to have you ask me who Shylock was? Shame on you, boy! Get your Bible and find out at once!"—Lippincott's Magazine. Sincere Admiration "Why do you insist on keeping a parrot?" "Because," answered the lonely man. "I like to hear it talk. The parrot is the only creature gifted with the power of speech that is content to repeat just what it hears without trying to make a good story of it."—Washington Star. Human Refrigerators Cool retiring rooms are now a feature of American life in the large cities. These rooms are not called refrigerators; it is possible that those who patronize them might be offended were this done, but they act the same purpose.—Ice and Cold Storage. Smoking a Crime In Abysinia it is considered a crime to smoke. The law forbidding tobacco was at first intended to prevent priests from smoking in church, but it was taken too literally, and nowadays even foreigners have to be careful not to be seen smoking. Old English Law. Many curious instances of old laws may still be found in England. In Chester the man who fails to raise his hat when a funeral is passing becomes liable to an old law to be taken before a magistrate and imprisoned. Lucid as Mud. At an inquest in London a medical expert testified: "The man had a weak digestion, and if mushrooms are not quite fresh when eaten they are apt to have serious effects in the cases of persons with weak digestions." Go by Stature. Swiss steamboat companies, to avoid disputes as to the age of children, have established measurement rules. Under two feet in height go free; children four feet four inches and dogs pay half-fare. Hard on Passengers. A traveler in an English railroad train went to sleep and passed the station for which he had bought a ticket. At the next station he was arrested for traveling without having paid his fare. Back to Horses. A few months ago the town of Tunbridge Wells, England, adopted a motor omnibus service for its streets. Now it has sold the motor omnibuses and returned to horse vehicles. Niagara river, in its course from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, falls a distance of 627 feet. A survey by the United States engineers, who measured the flow of the river below the falls, shows that it discharges 230,000 cubic feet of water a second from the one lake to the other. By a simple calculation it appears that in its descent of 27 miles from lake to lake, Niagara river develops the equivalent of about 0,000,000 theoretical horsepower. Dear Killed by Fire. Don Knight, who is a resident of the peninsula in the vicinity of Canaveral in our town during a recent walk from De Soto to Canaveral Light, a distance of about six miles, he counted the carcasses of 17 deer lying on the ground, killed by the forest fire that swept that section on July 22. This is a most unusual occurrence, and indicates something of the fierceness and terror of a Florida forest fire.—Cocoa and Rockledge (Fla.) News. Rules of the French Army. In the French army an officer whose duty it is to report on a junior is obliged to show him the original report and obtain his signature to it, as the proof that he has made himself master of the contents. The general officer is not permitted to express any opinion on the matter until he obtains from the one accused a written defense. Swans' Long Swim. Two Australian black swans were recently picked up off Norfolk island, in the Pacific. They must have traveled 400 miles. The birds were in a very exhausted condition, but after a freshwater bath and plenty of food they revived. The black swan is a powerful swimmer, but 400 miles at sea is a long swim, even for him. Awards for Big Families A report of the awards made by the Lincolnshire (England) Agricultural society to farm laborers who bring up the largest families without having received parochial help shows that eight men are fathers of 124 children. One of the men had 20 children born, brought up 17, and placed 12 out in the world. Missionary Receipts The receipts of the Foreign society for the first ten months of the missionary year amount to $207,800, a gain over the corresponding ten months of last year of nearly $38,000. The receipts during August and September must amount to $42,200 to insure the $250,000. One Vessel a Year A vessel which recently called at Easter island was the first to visit that out of the way spot in 12 months. The two hundred inhabitants are apparently content to live apart from the rest of the world, since there is practically no emigration. His Conclusion "So your first flances threw you over! Do you think she ever regretted it?" "I'm beginning to think she did! I married immediately, and she never married at all."—Detroit Free Press. Curiosity. "That young man's hair is terribly long." said the girl who makes remarks. "Yes," answered Miss Cayenne. "I wonder which he plays, foot ball or the violin."—Washington Star. Two Good Points. "If it weren't for temptation," exclaimed the reformer, "we would never know the pleasure of resisting it!" "No, nor the pleasure of giving in to it!" added the Irrespondiaba—Detroit Free Press. Scots Want to Fight The Scottish Patriot announced the other day in big type that in case of war between Norway and Sweden a committee was ready to send at once 1,000 Scots, fully equipped for the field, to aid Norway. Shin Guards for Police Kicking policemen is practiced to such an extent by Liverpool roughs of both sexes that it is suggested to provide the constables with leg guards to wear under their trousers. DESPERATE Deed. Boss—Percy threatened to do something desperate when I refused him. Nell—And did he? "Yes. He lit a cigarette"—Chicago Daily News. Hirr on the Kaiser. For saying that the kaiser had an "ugly face," Matthias Hohrmann, of Philadelphia, Alasce-Lorraine, has been sent to prison for two months. Keep Their Age.
