THE BROAD AX Sad Ending of the Career of D. R. Wilkins His Business Associates for Many Years Permitted Him to Wonder Around the Streets for More Than One Month and Be Subjected to All Kinds of Humiliations and Mortifications. Doctor Charles E. Bentley, Two or Three Preachers and others Whom He Never Ceased to Boost In the Columns of the Conservator Indifferent to His Fate. Vol. XII Sad Ending of the of His Business Association Permitted Him to Streets for More To Be Subjected to All and Mortifications. Doctor Charles E. Three Preachers and Never Ceased to Boo the Conservator Ind Sad indeed is the ending of the career of D. R. Wilkins, who until recently was the editor and President of the Chicago Conservator Publishing & Printing Company, for it was announced in the columns of the last issue of the paper, that, "D. R. Wilkins had fallen in harness and that on Wednesday prior to that date he had been committed to an institution for treatment," meaning Dunning. For some time past, several of the closest friends of editor Wilkins, noted his strange actions, and they became fully convinced that his mental faculties were weaking and that he was gradually becoming bereft of his reason. This fact was not generally known to the public at large until on or about the middle of June, when the following announcement appeared in the columns of The Conservator. State of Illinois, County of Cook—as: State of Illinois, County of Cook—ss. Sandy W. Trice, of lawful age, being duly sworn, on his oath states that he is president of The Conservator Publishing Company, a corporation organized under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Illinois; that owing to disability, D. R. Wilkins was removed from the editorship of The Conservator a weekly newspaper published by said company, on the 1st day of June, A. D. 1907; that said D. R. Wilkins is in no way connected with the management of said company or paper, nor has he any authority to contract for or bind said company to any agreement or obligation whatsoever. SANDY W. TRICE. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 20th day of June, A. D. 1907. So far it has been hard to learn the immediate cause which lead up to D. K. Wilkins' being deprived of his reason, which is a horrible ending for any man, and more so for a man of his brilliant talents for he was one of the best and most forcible editorial writers that the Afro-American race has so far produced in this country, and it is really heart rendering to THE NEGROES ARE JUSTIFIED. The Register and Leader believes the Colored people are justified in their protest against a Tillman Chau-tauqua lecture of the usual variety in Des Moines. Would any organization in Des Moines invite Senator Tillman to devote an hour to the abuse of the Italians, the Jews, the Irish, the Germans, the Bohemians, the English or the Yankees? And yet each of these divisions of the human family have their racial traits and human frailties. Senator Tillman does not tell the truth about the Colored people. He does not give a correct idea of the real situation in the south, Archbishop Ireland says the Negro has made more progress in one generation than any race of history. The Register and Leader has repeatedly republished from the columns of southern newspaper statements that go to show that the real race problem of the south is occasioned by the rapidity with which the Negroes are acquiring property and an education, and surpassing the poor think that after he had rendered a great service to his race, in assisting to fight its battles with his pen and voice, and had worked so long and hard in the interest of the paper of which he was the real life and brains, that his business associates for many years permitted him to wonder around the streets, for more than one month, sometimes roaming around almost devoid of clothing, and from the first of June to July 8, they permitted him to hang around the office of The Conservator, after it was declared that he had no connection with the paper whatever, where he was subjected to all kinds of humiliations and mortifications. The writer does not and cannot believe it but it is said that one gentleman who was at one time associated with him in business exclaimed that he "felt so happy that God had assisted him in getting rid of D. R. Wilkins." Seemingly Doctor Charles E. Bentley, Oscar De Priest, and two or three big Preachers and many more of his would-be friends, whom he never ceased to boost in the columns of The Conservator were perfectly indifferent as to his fate, for it seems that none of his strong and powerful friends rushed forward to render him the slightest assistance, while being sick near unto death with his mental illness. It is true that D. R. Wilkins had his faults for none of us are born perfect; that he had no love for us, that he hated us worse than the devil hates Holy water; but notwithstanding this fact, our unbounded sympathy flows out to him, for no greater calamity can fall to the lot of man than to deprived of his senses, and although we are as poor as Job's turkey, nevertheless we are more than willing to contribute a portion of our small means, if some of his friends, and former business associates will lead off in the movement, to assist to have him removed from Dunning and placed in a private institution for two or three months, where he will have a much better chance to be restored to his good health and his reason. white population. Why should any northern society be willing to permit Senator Tilman to abuse and vilify the Negro, to say nothing of paying him to do it, when it would not for a moment consider allowing him to say anything in the same spirit about any other race? There ought to be a sense of Anglo-Saxon fairness in the north, that if race prejudices are to be revived at so much per, would impartially expose the weaknesses and criminalities of all races. If there be good and sufficient reason why we do not permit public ridicule and condemnation of other races by wholesale, is there not good and sufficient reason why the north at least should cease to continue its good money to help southern swash-bucklers work their political game, which is to keep themselves in office by a false alignment of the white man against the Negro? The Negro forms about one-tenth of the total population. He is here to stay. He is trying to make something CHICAGO, JULY 18, 1907. JOHN G. JONES. Lawyer, Ex-Member of the Legislature of Illinois, who addressed his fellow masons at Niagara Falls, New York the past week. of himself. He is seeking an education and is acquiring a home. He has plenty of leaders who have surpassed Senator Tillman in learning, in culture, in manliness, and all essentials of decent American citizenship. What is to be gained by listening to or permitting this continued and unjust abuse of the Negro? Is it not about time to give the under dog a chance—The Register and Leader, Den Moines, Iowa, July 5, 1907. RACE LINES BARRED ON ROADS. Railways Must Provide.Equal Accommodations for Negroes and rights in federal as well as state and other local elections. Does the president as well as Secretary Taft condone disfranchisement? And what about the great republican majority in the congress, since its refusal and persistent refusal, too, to reduce the representation in the congress of those seven disfranchisement states as mandatorily required in a section of the constitution? There has been so much talk in and out of the congress about restrictive legislation for corporation that the greatest evil seems to have been lost sight of entirely.—The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio WHITES, RULES COMMISSION. Washington, D. C., July 8—The interstate commerce commission in a decision today, in the case of Georgia Edwards against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, held that where a railroad provided certain accommodations for a first class passenger of the white race it is commanded by the law that like accommodations shall be provided for Negroes who have purchased similar tickets. It holds that in this case it is manifest the railroad "has unduly and unjustly discriminated in some particulars against Colored passengers," and orders that where the railroad provides a washbowl and towels in the coaches for white passengers and a separate smoking apartment, similar accommodations shall be provided for Negro passengers paying similar fare. Booker T. Washington, who delights to pose as the great and only leader of the Afro-American race, and who has collected in millions of dollars by teaching "Jim Crowism" to the Negro, has for all these past years, been perfectly contented to ride in cattle cars on Southern railroads, and his underlings, without protesting, have sat still and permitted a brave hearted woman, to take the lead, and writing from the Interstate Commerce Commission, a decision making it unlawful to discriminate against the Colored passengers, who paid full fare for first class accommodations. THE GREATEST EVIL. Gov. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in his recent inaugural address advocated the disfranchisement of the Afro-American in his state, and promised "to enforce the law and prevent lynching." In the face of his efforts in promoting the Atlanta massacre, no sane person can "take any stock" in his promise. And what a tremendous argument against the states' rights theories of the south his advocacy is! It does seem to us that President Roosevelt, through the attorney general's department of his administration, ought to be making a greater fight against the disfranchisement "laws" of seven Southern states than against any other of the many national evils, because they strike at the very vitals of our form of government, in that they are nullifying certain sections of the fundamental law of the land (the United States constitution) when they deprive more than three million of sovereign citizens of their franchises. rights in federal as well as state and other local elections. Does the president as well as Secretary Taft condone disfranchisement? And what about the great republican majority in the congress, since its refusal and persistent refusal, too, to reduce the representation in the congress of those seven disfranchisement states as mandatorily required in a section of the constitution? There has been so much talk in and out of the congress about restrictive legislation for corporations that the greatest evil seems to have been lost sight of entirely.—The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. TO-MORROW'S CHANGE OF POLICY. "To-Morrow Magazine" announces that commencing with the August number it will add a Health and Rational Food Department; that is, while continuing as an exponent of Rational Life and Thought, it will bring its philosophy to bear in a practical way and not only teach the gospel of Rational Food, Rational Dress and Rational Exercise, but will manufacture and supply the trade with tested foods and conduct a Health Home for patients on Rational To-Morrow lines. The Editor will accept pupils by mail and in class in the Scientific Interpretation of Life, either for purposes of cure or for study, and the entire space in the magazine will be taken up by the staff Editors so that very little if any room will be left for outside contributors. The Editor and Assistants are athletes, non-meat eaters, are abstemious in all ways, lead the Simple Life, know the philosophy of fasting, and by Rational Nature Methods they declare that they can bring back any patient to health and happiness who is not already so completely broken down that there is nothing left to build upon—S. Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, President of the Black Diamond Development Co. Thursday morning, July 11, received an encouraging letter from its vice-president, L. L. Jones, who has spent the past three weeks in inspecting the Company's properties and gas wells, located near Chanute, Kansas and who will return to the city the first of the coming week. Mr. Jones states, in his letter to Dr. Williams that the gas continues flowing at a rapid rate through the Company's pipe line from the eight wells already developed, on to Kansas City, Mo. Upon the arrival of Mr. Jones he will give a complete report of his extended trip.* Mr. Noah D. Thompson and son are making preparations for a trip east where they will spend two or three weeks visiting relatives. Colored Voters Can Thwart President Theo. Roosevelt The Springfield Republican Admits Colored Vote In the North At Elections. Resents the President's Attack on the Negro Soldiers.' The Negro as a political factor in the question of the Republican presidential nomination is beginning to be more seriously considered, especially in connection with Secretary Taft who has been politically unfortunate in earning the hostility of the Negroes as a mass because of his open support of the President in the Brownsville affair. It is certain that if the wise secretary had had the handling of the case from the beginning he would have avoided Mr. Roosevelt's mistakes, but in standing loyally by the president's impetuous action he has had to share with him whatever unpopularity the discharge of the soldiers has caused among the Colored race. The hostility of the Negroes in the South and in the close states of the North may be all the more concentrated upon Secretary Taft, notwithstanding his great abilities and thorough training for the presidency, because he is known as Mr. Roosevelt's first choice. Senator Foraker's address at Wilberforce university, a Negro institution in Ohio, lately was an attack upon the administration's record in the Brownsville case, and it was listened to by a large audience of Colored citizens with the most enthusiastic approval. Many Colored Votea in Ohio. In 1900 Ohio had nearly 100,000 Negro inhabitants and there are enough Negro votes there today to endanger Republican control of the state, if they were cast against a Republican candidate. Southern Colored Hostility. Of more serious importance to Secretary Taft, however, may be the effect of southern Negro hostility to him in the Republican national convention. The administration, through its southern office holders, expects to control the delegate conventions, but SAVED HIS LIFE. Chas. Jackson who was slashed in the throat with a razor by Mels Ahrens, while both were attending a party given by Amy Goodloe at 314 30th st., last Sunday evening is improving. Jackson's throat was cut from ear to ear severing his jouglar vein and while in that condition he was taken to Provident Hospital and Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, with his great surgical skill forced or joined the two parts of the Jouglar vein together and thereby saving Jackson's life, who is on the road to recovery. What Dr. Williams cannot accomplish in the surgical and medical world is not worth accomplishing. At the meeting of the city council Monday evening, Mayor Busse made the following new appointments, and the most of them are German-Americans and the Irish-Americans are getting it in the neck: Members of the Board of Education: Alfred R. Urion, to succeed Phillip Angsten, removed and term expired. Adolph F. Gartz, to succeed John J. Hayes, removed and term expired. Oscar F. Greifenhagen, to succeed Mrs. Keough, term expired. Board of Examining Engineers: Frank K. Rittenhouse, to succeed P. J. Moloney, resigned. Board of Examining Plumbers: O. W. Hermann, to succeed C. J. Boyd, resigned. Civil Service Commission: Elton Lower to succeed himself. There are 100,000 Negroes in Greater New York City. Can Thwart Theo. Roosevelt Publican Admits Colored th At Elections. s Attack on the Negro the Negro disaffection may assert it-self in places. That Baltimore Election. The last mayoralty election in Baltimore is said to have been affected adversely to the Republican candidate by Negro voters, and it is certain that one of their leaders was quoted in a Baltimore newspaper to the effect that his race was organizing to express its disapproval in elections of the federal administration's treatment of the soldiers, in this connection, there will be interest in the following dispatch from Jackson, Miss., to the Washington Post: Georgia Colored Republican Urges Miss. Men to Send Delegates Against the Administration. J. N. Sistrunk, a Negro member of the Georgia Republican committee, was in Jackson today, conferring with Mississippi Negroes as to their delegation to the Republican national convention. In his address before the executive committee he urged Mississippi to fall in line and send a solid delegation against the present administration. He found a great many Foraker Negroes in Jackson, and assured them Georgia was for the Ohio man who had been their friend. The executive committee took no action, but it is understood most of the members are with Sistrunk. The latter stated that he would visit every southern state on this mission.—From the Republican, Springfield, Mass. The above article sets forth the whole political situation as far as the Afro-American voter is concerned, and whenever this class of voters refrains from voting for the leaders of any political party, simply on account of the color of their skin, then they will be a thousand times better off politically and in every other way, then they will become independent American citizens in every sense of the word. Mrs. Fanny Mason, 131 W. 51st st., entertained at a 5 o'clock dinner last Friday in honor of Miss Dayse Deane Walker, the talented eloquitionist and settlement worker of Indianapolis, Ind.

Last Tuesday evening about 9 o'clock three young Colored men of a very rough type entered the cafe of Mr. Henry Smith No. 6 N. Paulina 54. They drew three knives on the right cashier, and nearly scared him to death. A young white girl who entered a few minutes later was all that saved him. The cashier made his escape through a small window, in the kitchen and hastened to Lake St. Police Station and turned in a riot call. SOUTH SIDE NEWS ITEMS. THE Base Ball Game between the Grace Presbyterian Church Team and the Emergencies, at Washington Park, Thursday afternoon, July 4th, proved very interesting. The Grace Boys won by a score of 13 to 6. The score, however, does not show the strength of the Emergencies, as three of Avendorph's best men were out of the city. Sima, the pitcher, was by no means in shape, and the Grace boys won the game in the first innings. The feature of the game, was the all round playing of the Presbyterian Team, and the three base hits made by Geo. Weir, of the Emergencies. There was a large number of Chicago's society folks out to see the game. The same teams will meet again next month.

WASHINGTON LETTER [Special Correspondence] [Special Correspondence.] Plans for the magnificent cathedral of S. Peter and St. Paul, submitted by Sir G. F. Bodley, R. A., F. S. A., of London, one of the greatest church architects of England, and H. Vaughan of Boston, who have been at work on this project for a year, have been finally accepted by the chapter and council of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Washington. For more than a decade it has been the object of the diocese to erect in the capital of the nation this great cathedral. Site of Proposed Cathedral. The site selected for the huge elifice is in Cathedral close, 480 feet above sea level, in the finest part of the District of Columbia, bounded by Massachusetts and Wisconsin avenues and Woodley road and Thirty-fifth street, containing about forty acres. The council made its first purchase here, about thirty acres, in 1898, five more were added in 1902, and three years ago the last five acres were acquired. When the cathedral is completed it will seat 5,000 persons, and its huge proportions will share with the Washington monument the domination of the landscape of the entire District of Columbia and parts of Maryland and Virginia. To Cost Many Millions. How much it will cost is not yet definitely stated, but it cannot be built for less than $5,000,000 and may cost many millions more. At present the cathedral owns more than $1,000,000 of property, including the Cathedral close, the Cathedral School For Girls, the Harriet Lane Johnson Choir school, the chapel, the great peace cross unvelled by President McKinley, several foundations and a number of endowments. Halls of the Ancients. The Halls of the Ancients, on New York avenue, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets northwest, has been sold. For many years the Halls of the Ancients was the property of Franklin W. Smith, who built the structure which now stands on the property and used it as a public museum, showing the customs of ancient Rome, Greece and the countries of the east. It was much frequented for educational purposes. The Changed Standard.

Critics were enthusiastic in his praise, and the "S. R. O." sign stood outside Daly's nightly. Eddie Foy, who was playing in town at the time, chanced to be on Broadway when his attention was attracted by the elaborate display of the photographs of Hitchcock and the members of his company which adorned the entrance to Daly's theater. As a part of the display there was a billboard covered with quotations from the laudatory criticisms of the dramatic writers. There were repeated allusions to the "greatest hit in years" and "most finished work" and "America's most promising comedian." After he had moodly read to the bottom of the billboard Foy turned to an COCOA "I AM SOBRY YOU ASKED ME THAT, FRIEND." unobtrusive young man who had been watching him out of the corner of his eye. "Have you seen this show?" said Foy. "Sure," was the laconic reply. "How is this guy, Hitchcock—any good?" continued the comedian. "Any good?" repeated the young man, with just a trace of wondering scorn and pity in his voice. "Any good? Why, he's the best in the business. He's left all the other would be comedians at the post. This man's a scream, I tell you. Never laughed so much in my life at anybody." "Is this man as good as Foy?" asked Foy cautiously. There was no question about the scornful amusement of the young man this time as he made reply. "As good as Foy?" he echoed. "Why, you ought to go and see this man yourself before you begin to ask such foolish questions. This Hitchcock has got the Foy person lashed to the mast. They are not in the same class at all. This man's a comedian. A man with feelings can't compare them. I'm sorry you asked me that, friend, I feel so strongly about it." Eddie looked sternly at the young man for a full minute and then said in the tone of a tragedian: "I'm Foy." "I know you are. I am Hitchcock." said the young man. "I knew it," said Foy.-New York Journal. A Pardonable Error: H. G. Wells, the noted novelist, spoke at a Boston club about the wonders of modern invention, says the Minneapolis Journal. "So thick and fast," he said, "these new inventions come life grows rather confusing for plain and simple folk. "There was an old fisherman rowing in his boat one day when an automobile canoe sprung a leak near him and immediately sank. "To the indignation of the canoe's occupants the old man paid no heed to them, but rowed calmly on his way, puffing an old clay pipe. "However, the wrecked canoeists managed to swim to him, and as they clambered into his boat one sputtered angrily: "Confound you, why didn't you lend us a hand? Didn't you see we were sinking? "The old man took his pipe out of his mouth and stared at them in astonishment. "Blest if I didn't think ye wuz one o' them newfangled submarines" he said." Won on a Foul. Captain Hobson of Merrimac fame is going to congress from Alabama. He has a plan to spend $3,000,000 on battleships, which reminded Speaker Cannon of the Populist member from Kansas who was talking in the house of representatives of the trust ridden government at Washington and incidentally the crying need for more money. "I was up at the treasury the other day," said the Populist orator, "and I went down into the cellar and saw them taking money—old money it may have been, but money—and macerating it in a tank. There they were, with this country starving for money, using up, spoiling, destroying billions of money that was dirty, but perfectly good. Macerating billions of it, Mr. Speaker; billions of good money for no cause at all. These billions"— "Don't you mean millions?" inquired Judge Culbertson of Texas mildly. "There you go!" shouted the Populist wildly. "That's just like a Democrat! Trying to win this debate on technicalities!" -Saturday Evening Post SHORT STORIES Copper is alloyed with tin to make bronze and with zinc to make brass. Concrete was recently successfully used in patching a great hole in a ship's bottom. The chances of sudden death are greater among men than women in the ratio of one to eight. Brazil, the finest fruit growing country on earth, spends over $1,000,000 a year on imported fruits. Of a million girl babies born 871,293 are alive at twelve months. Of the boys 30,000 fewer live through the first year. Among persons of social standing generally the world throughout the average age of marriage is at present men thirty-seven and women twenty-eight. Next to the United States the Argentine Republic has the largest percentage of foreign residents. Twelve out of every hundred people in Argentina are foreign born. FACTS FROM FRANCE Scientists believe that the Eiffel tower, Paris, acts as a lightning rod to protect the city. The first French newspaper, the Gazette de France, appeared in 1621 and was brought out by a doctor named Renaudot. Louis XIII is said to have written more than one article for it. The French war department is engaged in making out lists of motor vehicles which may be regarded as available in case of war. The automobiles are divided into three classes, according to the carrying capacity. The census includes the public service vehicles. The "Apaches," as the footpads of Paris are called, are now using sharp pointed files and scissors as weapons because these are not classed as weapons under the law. In the assaults that have occurred, however, both of these weapons have proved their effectiveness in inflicting serious injuries upon their victims. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. When ivory handles have turned red rub them with turpentine, and it will very shortly restore their color. Feathers will fuff out and the ends will curl up if they are shaken over a warm stove upon which salt has been sprinkled. When putting down linoleum if you would have it smooth let it lie in place and be walked on for a few days before tacking it. A piece of pumice stone is the very best thing to scrape and scour iron kettles or any utensil that will not be injured by scratching. Oak furniture that has become dingy should be brushed over with warm beer and when thoroughly dry polished with beeswax and turpentine. Pictures should never be hung so high that it is necessary to mount a chair in order to see them. Hang so the center will be on a level with the line of vision of the person of average height. ENGLISH ETCHINGS. St. Marylebone is really "St. Mary at the Bourne," or brook. The value of house property in England is about £50 per inhabitant, while in Ireland it is only £15 per inhabitant. In London nearly half of the women earning wages are domestic servants, of whom there is one to every twelve persons in the population. The oldest hospital in London is St. Bartholomew's, which was established in the year 1123. In 1547 it contained a hundred beds. It was rebuilt in 1729. Asked the other day in a London police court what he did when he saw the prisoner brutally beating a woman, a witness replied, "I sent my wife for the police." The court of king's bench is so called because in olden times the sovereign used to preside in person. But the king did not interfere with the decisions of the judges. OLD FASHIONED. Bay Breasted Warbler. Have you taken him for a robin? If so, it is because of his chestnut breast. He's a bit smaller than the English sparrow. His forehead, sides of head and cheeks are black. There are white patches on the tips of his outer tail feathers. He's a great traveler, wintering in the tropics and nesting in Canadian treetops. He's capricious too. Sometimes with a large company he may stop here-abouts. Again he will take another route—St Louis Republic. FACTS IN FEW LINES Gold may be beaten until one ounce is spread over 146 square feet. The population of Paraguay has increased in thirty-five years from 200,000 to 700,000. In the Oudtshoorn district, Cape Colony, there are 100,000 ostriches. The annual value of the feathers yielded by each blind is $35. Students of Pennington seminary, Pennington, N. J., found a skeleton in the ruins of an ancient building, with a pot of coins by its side. Professor Helberg, the Danish philologist, has unearthed a new manuscript of Archimedes at the Convent of the Holy Sepulcher at Constantinople. The United States has more newspapers than any other country. Every week day there are 19,600,000 copies issued, and on Sundays the number is 11,500,000 copies. The proposed iron bridge to be erected at Yaulanan, near Canton, China, is to be 1,220 feet in length and 40 feet in breadth. The capital of the company is to be $1,000,000 in 100,000 shares of $10 each. At present the population of Cyprus, after Sicily and Sardinia the largest island in the Mediterranean, is more than 250,000 as against 237,053 in 1900, three-fourths being Greeks and the rest Moslems. In Tasmania no person under thirteen years of age is allowed to smoke in a public place. 'Nearly everybody smokes in Japan. The girls begin when they are ten years of age and the boys a year earlier. To his collection of more than 800 relics Captain John Ryan of West Newton, Mass., a veteran of several wars, has recently added a cane the materials of which represent three wars in which he participated—the Mexican, civil and Spanish-American. Traders now pass freely between Calcutta and Tibet. The masses of Tibet are eager to trade with "the white people," says Consul General Michael of Calcutta. The important products of Tibet are borax, nitr, rock salt, iron, silver, copper, gold, turquoise, lapis lazuli, musk, etc. The India rubber tree grows freely in gardens as an ornamental shrub in southern Italy, and steps are being taken to make an industrial business of growing it. Professor Bozzi of the Palermo botanical gardens exhibited a specimen at Milan recently containing as much as 85 per cent of rubber. Surgeon General Rixey has called attention to the curious fact that the navy, unlike the army, has no regular corps of trained nurses, and at the next session of congress he will urge the necessary appropriation for the organization of a nurse corps. With 45,000 he feels that he can make a respectable beginning in the organization of the proposed corps. Italy's tragédian, Tommaso Salvini, has got ready for himself a magnificent walnut wood coffin. Salvini has just been to Florence to assist in varnishing his coffin, which after his death will be sealed inside an enormous solid block of marble in the family mausoleum at the Porte Sante cemetery, in Florence, with the simple epiphath, "Tommaso Salvini, nineteenth century actor." To be worth $3,000,000 or $4,000,000, with a palace in fashionable Portland place and peers and ambassadors for neighbors, that is the lot of Henry Ar- thur Jones, the richest and most successful of living dramatists. He has literally "held the stage" these thirty years, ever since he produced the little one act piece, "It's Only Around the Corner," at the Theater Royal, Exeter, as far back as 1878. General Louis Botha, the Boer leader, while recently in London learned that a famous military chaplain, Mr. Collins, was ill in the Millbank Military hospital and every day sent the sick man an exquisita bouquet. Mr. Collins was the chaplain who from Splon kop and Pleters hill reported manfully the great humanity and fairness of the Boers and their leaders in those sangu- nary engagements of the South African war. The French government is providing instruction in problems of aerial navigation in connection with the military establishment and the aeronautical clubs. The most important military post is at Chalais-Mendon, between Paris and Versailles, where La France, the first dirigible balloon ever built, was tried by Colonel Renard twenty-three years ago. Aeronautical work, it is said, has been carried on at this post for more than a century, it being a combined arsenal and experiment station. A fund is being raised at Mabie thorpe, Lincolnshire, England, to repair the belfry and bells of the old parish church. In all there are five bells, pitched in the key of F. No. 1 treble bell is undated. No. 2 bell bears the date of 1824, the third bell, dated 1724, is badly cracked; the fourth bell is also dated 1724, while the tenor bell, which weighs 1,100 pounds, needs bands to prevent further cracking. The present belfry door was erected in 1714. For some time it has been considered dangerous to ring the bells. Captain Thomas Franklin, who is responsible for the food of the cadets at West Point, makes the following interesting statement: "For four years I have pasteurized every gallon of milk used in the cadet mess. We average 180 gallons a day, nearly all of which is drunk by students, very little being used in cooking. Previous to the time when we began to pasteurize the milk we had some cases of typhoid every year, and just before I put in the cadet mess the necessary plant to pasteurize the milk we had quite a number of cases. Since the milk has been sterilized there has not been a case of typhoid fever in the corps of cadets. It may be a coincidence, but I think not." WOMAN AND FASHION Tailored shirt waists are never entirely abandoned by the fashionable woman, and they always hold their place in sporting attire. The newer models are much like those with which 1 SMART WAIST. we are familiar, plaited at the shoulders and with a shirt cuff buttoned with link buttons. There are some waists of the tailored style not so conventional. The waist illustrated has the familiar plaited body, but has a hand embroidered turndown collar and a small bow tie. There is a lace ruffled band running down the front of the blouse, which is also further ornamented by hand embroidery. Great Silk Sales On: This is one of the great times of the year to buy silk of any kind, for not only are all the new spring and summer silks on exhibition, but whatever has chanced to escape the winter sales can now be had at almost tempting prices. Frequently the reason that some handsome dress pattern has not been sold is owing to the price that was put upon it, and of course this figure has now to be reduced by half and more than half. Exquisite figured craps and most effective embroidered brocades are now to be found at what seem ridiculously low prices, and it is these silks that we worth looking into and purchasing, for they make most charming and serviceable gowns. Although the printed and painted chiffons have been fashionable throughout the winter, still their popularity is not one bit abated, and there is little or no hope of their being at all reduced in price for the present at any rate. Finishing a Tailored Skirt. One of the difficulties that the amateur dressmaker has to encounter is the finishing of the skirt made from cloth or similar material. To get the proper result the edge of the skirt should be bound with soft silk seam binding, then turned under to the depth of the hem. Making an inturn after the manner of the ordinary hem means an unsightly ridge when the skirt is pressed. The Glove Question. It is an open question whether the glove bill is larger in winter or in summer—for the average woman. Warm weather sometimes means perspiring hands and ruined gloves possibly after a single day's wear. And again evening frocks for winter functions call for expensive hand coverings that must of all things be as fresh as possible, so that it would seem to be about an even thing. Coaf Suit of Heavy Linen. A coat suit of wash material is a very useful summer costume. This one is quite novel in its design, but so simple that it is practical for the home dressmaker to copy. The skirt is a plain seven gore pattern, as that will always hang well in 1 DELFT BLUE LINE. wash dresses. The coat has few seams and the fashionable kimono sleeve. Around the bottom of the sleeve and the low revera at the neck it is heavily embroidered with a white wash cord appliqued in a simple design. The fastening is one large pearl crocheted button. In the front yard of a home on East Ninth street a rope dangles from a branch of a tree. "Wonder what that rope's for?" asked one man of his companion as the two were passing the house. "Go in and ask if you're curious," the other advised. A young woman came to the door. "We—that is, I was sort of curious about what that rope on the tree is for," the inquisitive one stammered. "Why, that's Johnny's swing," the young woman answered. Out the door dashed Johnny, fox terrier. A leap and he fastened his teeth in the rope and, growling and jerking, signified that he was ready to swing. The young woman pushed him back and forth until he reached the topmost branches of the tree. "Johnny would stay there hanging on that rope all day if we would let him," she said. "That's why the rope is kept tied up out of his reach."—Kansas City Star. Relica For Trinkets. Think of a girl so loyal to the naval officer she admires that she wears a steel bracelet wrought out of a section of the metal used in the ship on which he went on getting his commission! Such bracelets are worn by certain Washington girls. So are belt buckles of brass made in the shape of guns, anchors or shields of army or navy. Women show a fondness for adornment made of historic relics. The secretaries of war and of the navy are besought frequently for permission to appropriate bits of shells or of hulls of Spanish vessels destroyed at Santiago, sections of which are on view in the departments. Mr. Metcalf contemplates removing the cards from these relics in order to avoid the need of saying "No" to pretty, pleading mails who would so much appreciate a part of a scabbard or a jewel from a historic sword. A Gaudy Banner. In celebrating what is regarded as a new era in the life of the international bureau of American republics incident to the opening of proposals for a pan-American temple there was displayed on the bureau building at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Jackson place a few days ago for the first time the newly adopted banner or burgee of the pan-American bureau. It is quite a striking object and attracted general attention. It is made of bunting eighteen feet long and eight feet across the base. It represents the twenty-one countries associated in the bureau and contains all the colors in the different flags of the twenty-one countries. Running through the center in large letters are the initials of "I. B. of A. R." At the top are small sections of blue and red, and at the bottom are yellow and green sections. It is almost a permanent rainbow. Furbishing the White House. The annual cleaning of the White House is under way. A large force of painters is now at work on the structure, and pretty much all of the four months the president is absent will be utilized in renovating and cleaning the exterior of the old building. As the first step toward a coat of new white paint a portion of the walls are being scraped and burned to remove the loose pigment and blisters, many of which have been found on various portions of the building. The walls of the White House were not painted last year. The experiment of washing with a highly recommended preparation was made. This was unsuccessful, as the wash seems to have cracked the paint and left the walls in bad shape generally wherever it was applied. Traffic In Rock Creek Park. Traffic in Rock Creek Park. According to the report submitted to the commissioners by the assistant engineer of Rock Creek park, the number of vehicles and pedestrians that passed Pierce mill into Rock Creek park on a recent Sunday between 1 o'clock a. m. and 6 p. m. is as follows: Automobiles, 494; two horse vehicles, 206; one horse vehicles, 1,231; horseback riders, 180; bicycles, 123; pedestrians, 1,467; number of vehicles, 1,991; total, 3,761. Profit In Fractions Gone. Stamped envelopes will hereafter be sold by the postoffice department to the postmasters at an advance of 4 cents per thousand over the old price. The price will not be raised to retail purchasers, and the additional $50,000 a year that the department will receive will be derived from the fractional amounts received from the sale of envelopes and which the postmasters have heretofore been permitted to retain.

A Centerpiece of Dollar Bills A Centerpiece of Dollar Bills. With a centerpiece of crisp dollar bills as a feature a banquet was given at the Chittenden hotel recently by Daniel Kelly and F. O. Schoedinger to their fellow directors of the National Bank of Commerce. Covers were laid for nine persons, and on the plate of each one was a facsimile of the check book of the Bank of Commerce instead of the customary place cards. There were twelve checks in the books, each calling for a course of the banquet and made payable to the bearer at the "Chittenden bank." N. A. Court, manager. The dollar certificates were placed in circular form about a huge cut glass vase containing American Beauties and made a most artistic decoration—Columbus Dispatch. Japan Sends Us a Fish. A fish hitherto entirely unknown in America, the Japanese yellow fin albacore, recently appeared in great numbers on the southern California coast, says C. F. Holder in the Scientific American. It was first recognized by President David Starr Jordan, who said that it added another link between America and Japan. It is a good market fish, and the specimens captured average fifty pounds in weight. It resembles the tuna. The California fishermen hope that this particular oriental invasion will be continued in the future. The fish is known in the Hawaiian Islands, but has never before been seen in Californian waters. Wrecked by Knives. The loss of many English fishing boats is now believed to have been due to the fact that the man at the wheel carried in his pocket a specially forged fisherman's knife. These knives possess strong magnetic properties sufficient to deflect the compass needle two or three points. Many wrecks have occurred while steering an apparently true course, and the discovery of the knives is now believed to account for many wrecks. Hotel Like Noah's Ark. The inquiry for a man named Wolf at the Palmer House, in Chicago, evoked such response that the manager asserted "a gamy collection of traveling men" was present. "Have you a gentleman here named Wolf—Leopold Wolf?" the clerk was asked. Dave Lyon made the inquiry. He was answered in the affirmative and sent up his card. "Just tell him there is a Lyon after him," he said to the boy, with a laugh. "And if it will help any," said a traveling salesman standing near, "tell him a Bear is after him also." He then handed over his card, bearing the name Victor Bear, New York. While they laughed over the incident John A. Fox of Cincinnati, secretary of the rivers and harbors congress, stepped up and said, "And to make it a gamy bunch put a Fox into the kettle." Before the quartet stopped laughing John W. Fish, who had just registered from Atlanta, and Charles W. Hunter, from St. Louis, joined the group, the latter saying, "I guess this will about finish the game," and invited the gathering out to supper with him at the Jungles restaurant.—What to Eat.

When the offices of the New York corporation counsel were lately moved from the Staats Zeitung building and were finally installed in their new quarters much of the ancient furniture which had been in the building since the time of Delafeld Smith was sent to the junkshop and replaced with new. Among these pieces of furniture was an old horsehair sofa which had a history all its own, for on it in both the days of Delafeld Smith and William C. Whitney those people who wished to obtain an audience of the corporation counsel were invariably invited to sit. Among other strange tales which this ancient piece of furniture could tell is of a meeting which took place upon its broad surface of three men, now long passed away, who were in their time inveterate gamblers, though only one of them was professionally engaged in that business. One day John Morrissey, Hubert O. Thompson and Oakley Hall all arrived in the outer office at the same time. The three men exchanged greetings, and all three sat down on the old sofa. Morrissey was fingering the horsehair cloth when he came across a hair. His betting instinct at once manifested itself. "I will bet either of you gentlemen," he said, "a thousand dollars that I can pull a longer hair out of this sofa than either of you." Oakey Hall took it up. "I will bet you a thousand," he replied. Not to be outdone, Hubert O. Thompson said he would take a hand in the game also. The stakes, $1,000 each, were produced from bulky pocketbooks and then and there handed over to an employee of Mr. Whitney's department. Each man then took hold of a hair, while the other employees of the office gathered around in breathless excitement to witness the result of the strange bet. Jim Powell, the head stenographer of the department, was the man who held the money. He died many years ago. But there are others still alive who remember the shout of boyish glee with which Morrissey held up a hair nearly two feet long. He was easily first in the betting, for neither Oakley Hall nor Thompson came within six inches of him. Just as Morrissey tucked the $3,000 away in his wallet the bell rang, and John McCann, Mr. Whitney's messenger, came out. "Mr. Morrissey, will you step inside, please?" he said. "The luck is John's today," growled Oakay Hall, who was in a hurry. "He'll be there an hour at least."—New York American. Chinese Carpenters There are few more skillful workmen in the world, according to Mr. Barrett Smith's statements in the Engineering Magazine, than the native Chinese carpenters. This is hardly surprising, considering the extensive use of wood for all kinds of construction in China. But more surprising is the fact that for countless generations the Chinese have not changed the form of their tools. The Chinese carpenter's favorite tool is a little hatchet, with which he can cut surfaces as smooth as those produced with a plane. Only recently has the hammer of the western world begun to find a place in the Chinese carpenter shop. Heretofore the Chinaman has universally used the back of his hatchet for hammering. The gradual introduction of iron nails has brought the hammer with them. An Athletic Post Theodore Tilton not long before his death was speaking to a friend about some of his former literary friends and acquaintances and was asked if he had known William Cullen Bryant. "Yes, indeed," he replied, "Bryant had the finest head and beard of modern times. One day, it must have been in 1872 or 1873, I had an engagement to meet him at his private office at 8 o'clock in the morning. I arrived about ten minutes before the hour, and what do you think I found him doing? Practicing athletics, holsting himself up and down from the lintel of the door by his arms and touching the lintel each time with his chin. He was then almost an octogenarian!" Hall Caine's Autograph Hall Calne has a great horror of the autograph hunter, but during his visit to America he was trapped by a wily collector in a very curious way. One day a porter at the hotel brought him a registered letter. He sighed the receipt and was then asked to sign a second paper, which he was told had to be returned to the sender of the letter. New to American ways, he did so, and when he opened the letter he found it to be a note of thanks for his autograph, which he had, of course, appended to the paper.-London Tit-Bits. The Plains of Abraham. The historic plains of Abraham will be dedicated as a national park at the celebration next year of the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of Quebec, provided those most prominent in the commemoration are able to have their way. At present the plains are marred by a rifle factory, and instead of listening to the demand that they remove to another site the owners of the plant demand more room. Seals Are Following the Buffalo From latest reports it is clear that our great seal herd is rapidly disappearing as the result of poaching and in spite of the efforts of the United States authorities. Today there are only 180,000 seals, where there were 7,000,000 fifty years ago. The history of the buffalo is about to be repeated. - HUMOR AN EYE FOR BUSINESS Transaction In Which Strabismus Was Not a Handicap. "There is a small cross eyed boy living in this city who if he doesn't lose his life through just retribution will grow up to become a great financier," declared Jones. "For some time my wife has possessed a yellow purp that has no earthly excuse for living. But she thinks that he is the finest dog in the city and spends most of her time hugging him and kissing his dirty little nose. Finally the dog worship became so unbearable to me that I resolved to end the nuisance. Chancing to meet a small cross eyed boy one day, I said to him: "See here, boy, do you want to earn a dollar? "Sure!" said be. "Well, then,' said I, 'you go up to my house, watch your chance and steal the yellow cur that you will find hanging around there. When you get him bring him down to my office and get your dollar.' "Within two hours the boy was back with the cur tied to a rope. "What will I do with him, boss?" he asked after I paid him. "I don't care,' I snapped. 'Drown him if you want to.' "That night I discovered my wife in tears, and I was informed between sobs that poor, dear little Fido was missing. The next day she had an advertisement inserted in, all the papers offering $10 for his return. The third day she met me joyfully at the door and announced that Fido had been found. "Where?' I asked, concealing a groan. "A little boy brought him back,' she answered. "What kind of a boy?' I asked suspiciously. "A small cross eyed boy with the most honest face that I ever saw on a boy. I gave him $10, it being all I had, and told him if he would go down and see you that I knew you would be glad to add $5 to it." "But the boy didn't show up. As a matter of fact, I hadn't the slightest idea he would. I wouldn't mind giving him $5 if he would call."—Detroit Free Press. False Signal. "You don't believe in romance, eh?" said the old boarder. "You bet your tintype I don't," sighed the young man with the bandage around his head. "I had my share." "How was that?" "Well, you see, I was forbidden to call on my best girl, and every night she would sit out on the balcony and at a certain hour strike a match. That would be the signal for me to stick my head through the vines and kiss her." "Ab. very poetical!" "Yes, but the other night I saw the match flare up, stuck my head through the vines and got the worst thrashing I ever received.

A New York business man was telling some friends not long ago of the disadvantages of having two telephones in his business office. "A new office boy entered upon the discharge of his duties last week," said the merchant, "among which duties is that of answering the telephone calls. The very first call resulted in his coming to me with the statement: "You're wanted at the phone by a lady, sir." "Which one? I asked, thinking of the two phones. "Well, sir," said the boy, after an embarrassing pause. "I—I think it's your wife, sir!"-Harper's Weekly. Penalty of Vanity. Two tadpoles lived in a meadow pool. One tadpole was exceedingly vain and kicked around until he developed a pair of pale green legs and arose to the dignity of a frog. The other tadpole was sluggish. "Hurry up!" said the new frog. "Why, you are the slowest thing in all the meadows. Without legs you will never be noticed." "And that is just why I am not raising them," replied the slow tadpole. "It doesn't always pay to be noticed." And now the slow tadpole still swims among the rushes while his valn brother has long since been served up on crisp toast—Detroit Tribune. Topsy's Last Name The story is told of how a little girl had been listening intently to her mother reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin" aloud, and finally when the story was finished the child raised her blue eyes questioningly and said: "Why is it, mother, that the book never mentions Topsy's last name?" "My child," replied the mother, "I guess she had no other name." "Oh, yes, she had, and I know it!" returned the little girl. "Well, what was it?" "Why, Turvy-Topsy Turvy." — St Louis Republic. He Meant Well Not long ago a young Irishman was seeking work in western Illinois, and among those to whom he applied was a farmer near Calro. The farmer was attracted by the Celt's frank, cheery manner, and while he was not in need of help he asked after a pause: "Can you cradle?" "Cradle!" repeated the Irishman. "Sure I can! But, sir," he added persuasively, "couldn't ye give me a job out of dures?"

The birth of a male heir to the Spanish throne has for the present simplified the question of the succession, a matter that has been responsible for much disturbance in the empire as well as in the rest of Europe. The trouble was acute so long ago as 1700, when Charles II. of the house of Hapsburg died childless after making Philip, grandson of Louis XIV. of France, his successor. This first Bourbon king of Spain was not recognized by the other powers till after a long war, concluded in 1713. Philip, known as the fifth of Spain, proclaimed the Salic law the next year, limiting the succession to his male descendants. His great-grandson, Ferdinand VII., one of the royal victims of Napoleon's ambition, was restored to the throne in 1813. In 1829 he married his fourth wife and abrogated the Salic law in spite of the protests of his brothers and of the French Bourbons. His daughter Isabella, born in 1830, was proclaimed queen on his death, three years later, with her mother as regent. Isabella's uncle, Don Carlos, asserted his claim to the throne under the Salic law, but the regent succeeded in maintaining her daughter's position. Don Carlos' descendants have ever since been pretenders to the Spanish throne. The present Carlist claimant is his grandson. Queen Isabella was driven from Spain by a revolt in 1808, and two years later the Spanish succession caused a fresh commotion in Europe. The proposition to call to the throne a prince of a branch of the Prussian royal house of Hohenzollern was the apparent though not the real cause of the great war of 1870 between France and Germany. The throne was offered to Prince Amadeo, a son of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, but the task of governing Spain was too much for him, and after a few years he abdicated. Then a republic was set up, but it lasted only two years, and Alfonso XII., the son of Isabella, was restored to the throne without the shedding of a drop of blood. On Alfonso's death in 1885 his daughter Maria succeeded him and was queen till Alfonso XIII., the present king, was born, a few months later, the ninth of the house of Bourbon to rule over Spain. If the new prince should die and Alfonso have no other children his sister's son would succeed him, and in the remote contingency of the direct line of descent from Ferdinand VII becoming extinct the Carlist claimant would become king.-Youth's Companion. Steel Pavements. Paris is experimenting with what is called steel pavement. It is really a concrete pavement re-enforced with a steel framework. The metal part of the pavement is a plate of perforated steel, with strong bolts of steel running through it between the perforations. Each section has some resemblance to a steel harrow, only the prongs project equally on each side and they are square and blunt. It will be superior to asphalt in ultimate economy and to wood both in the better footing that it affords to horses and in the fact that it will not admit of dangerous ruts developing. The sample laid cost $5.40 a square meter, a little more than a square yard, but when the work is done on a large scale it is believed the price can be cut to about $4.50. A Midday Nap Club "What we need down here in the rushing office district is a midday nap club," said a lawyer of large practice, "a place where a fellow can run in for a few winks of midday sleep without the danger of being awakened by some erratic caller. A quiet lounge in a secluded room, every fellow to himself and a man to call you at the moment designated, and I venture the thing would be a success. Moreover, I believe a few winks of sleep in the middle of the day would do much to relieve the nervous tension under which most of us labor, prolong our lives and avert many a case of nervous prostration. I make the suggestion in all seriousness and hope soon to see it put into effect."-Philadelphia Record. "The" Tyrol. Apropos of Major Martin Hume's recent protest against the incorrect use of the definite article before "Asturias," it is interesting to hear the denunciation of "the" before Tyrol, made by Mr. Baillie-Grohman in the London Chronicle. It is "Tyrol" without the article, he says, for there is only one Tyrol. A "Bavarian Tyrol" and an "Italian Tyrol" do not exist, and therefore "the Austrian Tyrol" is also a wrong expression. Still, probably half of the people who visit Tyrol, in summer or winter, throw in the superfluous "the." Coolness In Danger One of the women in the Kingston earthquake showed what she thought was great coolness. When the first shock had passed she hurried out on to the lawn in front of her hotel, blessing her stars for her escape. She felt that she was perfectly cool, for she remembered that she had left her powder puff behind and determined to have it. Her manner of recovering it was as cool as the rest of her conduct. She sent a black servant into the totering building after it—Chicago News. HILLMAN'S STATE & WASHINGTON STS.
