Municipal Judge Walker Permits the Commander of the Eighth Regiment to Walk Out of His Court Room a Free Man. Col. John Had His D He was Justified in Harper a Hot Lemon Municipal Judge Wall mander of the Eight Out of His Court Robert H. Harper, who was for some time prior to December 1, 1905, an officer in the Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guards, and also up to that date was a trusted and efficient clerk at the 22d street branch of the Chicago Post Office and who has recently returned from an unwilling residence at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., came in contact last Wednesday, September 18, with Col. John R. Marshall at the Armory of the Regiment on 37th st., and in the mixup Col. Marshall, handed Mr. Harper such a hot lemon that he had a warrant issued for the arrest of the gallant Col. for assault and battery. In the meantime Col. Marshall surrendered himself at the 35th street Police Station and the case came up against him Tuesday afternoon, before Municipal Judge Walker. Mr. Harper after being sworn was the first to take the stand in his own behalf. He related to the court, that while he was absent from the city and confined in the penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for twenty months his wife, Mrs. Harper had instituted divorce proceedings against him, and that on his return to the city several weeks ago, he learned that she was residing in Springfield, Ill., and on going there, for some reason or other he was unable to obtain an interview with her, that he was informed by his sister Mrs. Wilkins, that Col. Marshall had advised Mrs. Harper to break or steal away from him. Mr. Harper, retraced his steps back to this city, with this wrong information weighing on his mind with the full determination, to hunt up Col. Marshall and read the riot act to him, for presuming to butt into his family affairs. It seems that the first two weeks after Mr. Harper's return from Springfield to Chicago, Col. Marshall was absent from the city and he was unable to meet him until the date referred to, although he had called at his house several times in a vain effort to do so. On the morning of September 18th Mr. Harper stated that "he phoned Col. Marshall that he wanted to meet him ever so bad, that the Col., requested him, to be at the Armory between 12 and 1 o'clock that he would be there to meet him." "On arriving there at that time he was cordially greeted by Col. Marshall who invited him into his office, requested him to be seated and make himself at home. After doing so, he opened up the conversation by charging the Col. with advising Mrs. Harper to secure a divorce from him, at the same time claiming that Mrs. Harper, Miss Arnold, Dr. McKissack and Mr. Wilson were guilty of committing acts unbecoming ladies and gentlemen." At that point in the conversation Mr. Harper declared, that Col. Marshall stated that "he had nothing to do with his family affairs, that he had never advised his wife to leave him, that during his absence, he and all the members of his family, endeavored to assist her to the best of their ability, that he always found Mrs. Harper a true lady, that he had treated her as such." Marshall caught him in the collar, yanked him out of the chair and struck him ten or fifteen times in the face and other parts of his body, and that he became too exhausted from the effects of the many blows showered upon him by the large sized fist of Col. Marshall to defend himself, that he did put his hand in his hip pocket, and that he finally got out of the building without knowing just how the thing happened." Mr. Harper seemed to feel very gore or bitter over his disasterous encounter with the Col. Col. Marshall succeeded Mr. Harper on the wittness stand and he related that "it had been intimated to him on his return to the city, how Mr. Harper had been circulating dergatory remarks concerning the unladylike actions of his ward which were entirely unfounded, that Mr. Harper had told numerous persons that he wanted to meet him, face to face and tell him, just what he thought of him and that the lady in question was not what she represented herself to be." That last Wednesday between 12 and 1 by appointment made by Mr. Harper he called at the Armory, that he treated him pleasantly, that he requested him to be seated, then Mr. Harper, began the conversation by claiming that he had advised his wife to desert him that he explained to Mr. Harper, that in this he was mistaken that he had not advised her one way or the other in this respect, that he always regarded Mrs. Harper as a true lady, that he himself and the members of his family endeavored to assist her and at no time had he the slightest inclination to mix up in his family affairs. Col. Marshall further stated, that it was far from his intention of landing on Mr. Harper at any stage of their conversation until after he had delivered himself of his uncomplimentary remarks, relative to the lady whom he had raised, educated and protected like unto his own daughter, that the provocation was so great that he could not restrain himself from striking him one blow under the circumstances, and that he did not strike him ten or fifteen times or beat him up as Mr. Harper had stated, that he was a man of peace and believed in protecting his home as long as he was firmly convinced, that there was absolutely no foundation to the statements, scattered broadcast by Mr. Harper. Walter J. Newman, was the last and only witness, to the affray, between Col. Marshall and Mr. Harper, and he testified that "while the two were engaged in conversation he, sat ten feet away from them with his back turned, that he heard every word spoken, that Mr. Harper started in by saying, that "Col. Marshall had advised his wife to seperate from him, that his niece, Dr. McKissack, Mr. Wilson and others were leading her astray or words to the same effect, that Col. Marshall requested Mr. Harper not to continue his conversation along those lines any further, that all at once he heard a noise and on looking around he observed that Col. Marshall had pulled Mr. Harper out of the chair, ordered him to leave his office and HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 28, 1907. DR. J. WILLIAM M'DOWELL. Graduate of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and formerly Assistant Chief Surgeon at the Freedmen's Hospital, and One of the Best M. D.s in Chicago. Doctor J. William McDowell, formerly of St. Louis, Mo., where he still owns some good real estate, removed to this city with his interesting family the first of last May, and moved into a fine home of their own at 3518 Calumet Ave., and from the very day that he opened up his office at 3100 State Street, he has met with flattering success. In the short length of time that he has been practicing medicine in this city he has successfully performed several difficult operations at Provident Hospital and other institutions like it. Dr. McDowell is a graduate of Howard university, and at the time that Dr. Daniel H. Williams was chief surgeon of the Freedmen's Hospital Washington, D. C., Dr. McDowell was his able first assistant. During the years that have gone by McDowell has contributed we written articles to the leading medical journals of this country, pertaining to his honored profession.

Denison, made a short talk in behalf of Col. Marshall, and he declared that "the provocation was so great that the Col. was perfectly justified in giving Mr. Harper a sound thrashing, that he would have done the same thing himself, that he knew his Honor would not uphold any man, who was so low to blast the good name of a respectable young woman. At the conclusion of Maj. Denison's remarks Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jonas declared that he would do the ame thing to any man who would attempt, to blacken the character of his daughter or other female erivatives, and Judge Walker delivered himself of similar sentiments, and told Col. Marshall to go in peace and sin no more! NEGROES FLAY ROOSEVELT. Africans Also Score Taft and Tillman. Conference of Methodists Results in Censure for Many and Praise for Few. Censure was meted out to President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft, Senator Tillman, and Governor Vardaman of Mississippi, and praise was accorded Senator Foraker, former Mayor Dunne, and others at the annual Illinois conference of the African M. E. church. The conference is being held at the Bethel M. E. church, 30th and Dearborn streets. Resolutions Condemn Roosevelt.

Quakeress Who Gave $1,000,000 for Negro Education Leaves $5,000,000 Estate. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 24.—Anna T. Jeanes, the philiatric Quakeress, died at the Friends' Boarding home in this city to-day, aged 85 years. Miss Jeanes, who had given probably more than any other Philadelphia woman for philanthropic and charitable purposes, created a sensation in April by summoning Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee institute and Thomas B. Frissell of Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute to this city and turning over to them a deed of trust for $1,000,000 for "a fund for rudimentary schools for Negroes." She gave $200,000 to build the Friends' home in which she died. She also gave $200,000 to the Spring Garden institute, a technical school; $100,000 to the Hicksite Friends to be expended on their meeting houses, and $200,000 to the Friends' school, all in this city. Miss Jeanes leaves an estate estimated at about $5,000,000. Mrs. J. C. Stewart, 5424 Normal Ave., is on a visit to Richmond, Va., and other points in the South and East. The New York World Propounds Twelve Questions To Secretary Cortelyou Which He Refused to Answer. By Remaining Silent is Positive Proof that He is Guilty of Double Dealing. That He Had a Hand in Getting Away with the Life Insurance Funds During the Presidential Election of 1904. The New York World is still making it might interesting for the high priests of the Republican party who helped to steal away with the life insurance funds belonging to widows and orphans, during the presidential election in 1904, and recently it has propounded the following 12 questions to George B. Cortelyou, who at that time was chairman of the Republican National Committee, and at the present time secretary of the treasury, and a Roosevelt candidate for president in 1908: 1. As secretary to President McKinley, did you have knowledge of the campaign fund collected by Senator Hanna in 1900, the name of many heavy contributors, the promises made, and the methods of distribution? 2. What corporations were investigated in whole or in part, while you were Secretary of Commerce? 3. Did any of these corporations contribute to the Republican campaign fund in 1904? Did you or Mr. Bliss or any authorized agent of the national committee solicit contributions from them? 4. Did you, as Postmaster General, enter into mail contracts with any railroads which contributed to the Republican campaign of 1904? If so, what companies? 5. As Secretary of the Treasury, have you awarded government deposits of money or granted any other official favors to any national banks which contributed to the Republican campaign, fund of 1904? If so, what banks? 6. Have treasury favors been solicited by or granted to any financial or commercial interests which contributed to this fund? If so, what? Mr. Bliss and the Funds. 7. Did Treasurer Bliss of the Republican national committee promise, either directly or indirectly, any favors in return for contributions? 8. Has Mr. Bliss solicited any favors of the treasury in behalf of the banks or corporations? 9. What answer have you, as Postmaster General and Secretary of the Treasury, given to contributors making demands for what they understood would be their recompense? 10. Was return made of contributions discovered afterward to have been made in expectation of favors? 11. Why was the Standard Oil contribution retained after President Roosevelt ordered it returned? 12. Did you know the contributors of the $250,000 Harriman fund and the practical uses to which money was to be put to insure New York going Republican? "Because the time for me to speak has not arrived." "When do you expect to break your silence?" "It may not be long before I shall have something to say. I could an- No. 51 k World ds Twelve Questions you Which He Re- By Remaining Silent that He is Guilty of That He Had a Hand with the Life Insurance Presidential Election of swer every one of those questions now, completely and convincingly, but I shall not do so." "It has been said, Mr. Cortelyou, that by your silence you are receiving the citricism which should be leveled at others." "That may be," he replied, "but I can stand it for a while longer. I am conscious of my own integrity in this matter. Let us repeat what I said in the first place, that I have absolutely nothing to say, no answer to make to any questions concerning campaign contributions." The very fact that Mr. Cortelyou, is unwilling to talk, being fearful of letting the cat out of the bag, shows that he was at that time in some very crooked deals in relation to raising money to carry on the Republiccan campaign in 1904. The Chicago Inter Ocean, in referring to a letter addressed to it by Mr. B. F. Harris, a few days since, has this to say on this important subject, and it gives the following facts and dates as to the time the money was paid over to Mr. Cortelyou: Oct. 23, 1904—Chairman of New York Republican committee reports that for lack of campaign funds the state is in danger of being lost to both Roosevelt and Higgins. Oct. 24, 1904—E. H. Harriman is consulted in New York city as to the best means of raising an additional campaign fund. Oct. 28, 1904—E. H. Harriman goes to Washington and consults President Roosevelt on the subject of raising the desired fund. Oct. 29, 1904—E. H. Harriman, having returned from the White House to New York, begins collecting the famous $260,000 fund, of which he delivers $200,000 to the state committee two days later. This fund was collected from Messrs. Depew, Rockefeller, Rogers, Speyer, and others, and contained the celebrated contribution of the Equitable Assurance society. Oct. 29, 1904—Alton B. Parker, Democratic candidate for the presidency, makes public statements to the effect that "the trusts are furnishing the money with which they hope to control the election," and "if it (this) were not true I would not say it to gain the presidency or any earthly reward." Nov. 4, 1904—President Roosevelt makes an official reply from the White House to Mr. Parker's charges, designates these charges as "slanderous," and adds: "The statements made by Mr. Parker are unqualifiedly and atrociously false." For obvious reasons The Inter Ocean does not care to comment on this record. In fact, comment is superfluous. The record has a loud voice and is speaking for itself.

After years of long suffering, and invalidism, Clark Irvine, died suddenly at his home in this city, Thursday last. For 40 years he had been a resident of our city, and enjoyed the esteem and high regard of his fellow-citizens. He came to our little city in 1857, and for years practiced law, and was prominent in the law and politics of this section for years afterward. He came as a pronounced Free Soller and was fearless and cutspoken in behalf of the Union cause during the dark days leading up to and during the civil war period. He was a thorough linguist and classical scholar, and his great learning and force of character, did much to help mold opinion in behalf of the Union cause. In 1872 Mr. Irvine identified himself with the Democratic party, and remained so up to his death. In 1877 he became the editor of the Missouri Valley Times, the Democratic paper of this county, published in Oregon, and after a few years retired from its editorial management. Some seven years ago Mr. Irvine received a fall, which so injured him that he was compelled to use crutches, and he rarely ever came up to the city from his home, but he found company and happiness in the companionship of his devoted and learned wife, and mid his classical works. Up to the time of his injury he was a liberal contributor under the title of "Holt," to many of the leading newspapers and standard magazines of the country. About the home he was an ideal husband and father, and ever found time to be a "chum" with his boys, and thus instilled in them the need and love for books, and the higher reading until they too, have inherited and cultivated much of the same talents, and enjoy a splendid reputation as writers. The wife who has been his constant companion through sunshine and shadow, for over 50 years, proved a most devoted wife in all these years—a strong intellectual woman, in whose society one is made better and stronger, and the Irvine home, though now saddened, was ever the haven for the intellectual, refined and cultured. The influence of this couple has been more or less felt in every home in our community, and especially in the cultivation of that taste for the higher reading. The deceased was born in Mt. Vernon, O., October 10, 1830, and died in this city, September 12, 1907, lacking but a few days of being 77 years of age. He came west going to Nebraska in 1856, and in 1859 he married Miss Anna K. Johnson, of Omaha; in the fall of 1857 he came to Oregon, where he has ever since resided. By this marriage three sons were born, Leigh and Clare, both of the California Press; and Louis C., of St. Louis, the latter being the only one, owing to distance, that was able to be present at the funeral, and support their dear mother in the hour of deep sorrow. Funeral services were conducted from the residence on Saturday, September 14, by Rev. Walton, of the Presbyterian church, interment being in the Maple Grove Cemetery, the casket being covered with beautiful floral tributes from friends and relatives—The Sentinel, Oregon, Mo., Sept. 21, 1907. It may not be out of place to note that Col. Irvine, was a lifelong Democrat, and at the same time he was one of the greatest champions of the civil and political rights of the Afro-American—Editor. HELD IN ROW OVER FUNERAL. Negro Undertaker Arrested When He An assault, an arrest, and the threat of other legal proceedings have been caused by the refusal of R. M. Blackwell, Negro undertaker, 3228 State street, to allow Mrs. Bessle Menier to remove the body of her cousin, William Menier, to other undertaking- recma. Blackwell was arrested on the complaint of Sydney H. Barlow, Western representative of a book concern. William Menler died Friday, and his body was taken to Blackwell's place. Later Mrs Menler found the funeral would be less expensive by another undertaker. Mr. Barlow is said to have visited the undertaker in behalf of Mrs. Menler, who is employed at his home. The alleged assault and arrest followed. Mr. Barlow, who has offices in the First National Bank Building, is of the opinion that Mr. Blackwell, is a very bad actor, that just because Mrs. Menier is a Colored woman who had to work hard for a living, that he was at liberty to charge her a fancy price for his undertaking work, and when Mr. Barlow, protested against his actions, he claims he was knocked down by Mr. Blackwell, for the interest he had taken in Mrs. Menier, who worked for him!

PLAN BIG NEGRO COLONY. Association Proposes to Purchase 90, 000 Acre Tract in California. LIOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 26.—A project to establish a large colony of Negroes in southern California is being promoted by an association which is about to seek state incorporation.

The object is to establish a prosperous colony, where Negroes will have an opportunity to work under favorable conditions. FORMER SLAVE DIES AT 113; ONE OF LONG LIVED FAMILY.

She says he's no good and a coward and a mutt, but she omits to show her sisters how they can get along without him.—New York Americana. THE HALL OF FAME. It is reported that C. B. Jefferson of the theatrical family has retired and will devote his time to growing fruits in Florida. High Constable William Jaby of Shamokin, Pa., who has only one leg, thrashed, unaidal, two thugs who attacked him and landed both in prison. At eighty-one Gorton Anderson of Newport, R. I., still wields the razor. He is the oldest active barber in the United States and perhaps in the world. Thomas F. Ryan has offered to pay a pension of $5 a month to the 200 Confederate veterans who now live in Nelson county, Va., where Mr. Ryan has his home. William H. Baldwin, who had been for thirty-nine years president of the Boston Young Men's Christian union, has resigned after reaching his eightieth birthday anniversary. Dr. Warre, late head master of Eton college, has been presented with an album containing the signed photographs of nearly every master and boy who was at Eton at the time of his resignation. Thomas W. Lawson, the famous Boston operator in copper, is a grandfather. The little girl is the child of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Lawson. Mrs. Lawson was formerly Mrs. Herbert Barnum Seeley of New York. George H. Ware, seventy-three years old, an expert accountant of Providence, R. L., figures that in the last forty years he has smoked nearly three tons of tobacco in his meerschaum pipe, from which he is inseparable. William Livesay of Preston, the son of Joseph Livesay, the famous founder of teetotalism in England, has just celebrated his ninety-second birthday. Mr. Livesay is in good health and as stanch a temperance champion as was his celebrated father. Captain Speltennl, the Swiss aeronaut, has just finished a wonderful achievement, the crossing of the Alps in a balloon. This was his five hundred and thirty-ninth ascent, and his notebook does not record a single accident in any of them. One of the most remarkable personalities in Russia is Prince Khilkoff. He is called in Russian society "the American" because when young he shipped to America as a stoker and there set himself to learn all he could about railways by working as conductor, stoker, driver, brakeman and mechanic in the engine shops without allowing his princely rank to be suspected. PLAYS AND PLAYERS Richard Sterling, an American actor, has been engaged for the London production of "The Earl of Pawtucket." It is said that Mrs. Langtry will be a Belasco star next season and that the manager believes her strength lies in tragic roles. Mudge Lessing has been engaged for a new production, called "The Belle of Hong Kong," which is to be seen in Philadelphia in October. A new vaudeville amusement company has been organized in New York with a capital of $500,000. William Morris is the president of the organization. Thomas Thorne and Harry Burkhart, both well known to Baltimore theater goers, will be in the company supporting Miss Maude Fealey when she goes on her starring tour. Octavia Broske, a San Francisco girl, who had the prima donna role in "The Sultan of Sulu" last season, has been engaged for a prominent role in "The Prince of Pilsen." FACTS FROM FRANCE. The president of the senate was recently petitioned in the shape of a flood of 400,000 post cards. France has no old age insurance measure, but a large amount is annually spent in relief to aged natives. There are to be no ceremonies when Paul W. Bartlett's equestrian statue of Lafayette in Paris is placed on its pedestal next October. In all France there are only 1,100 persons who are millionaires in our sense of the word (in dollars). Of millionaires in francs there are about 15,000, apart from the 1,100 already counted. A philanthropist at Bordeaux has accepted $400,000 from M. filia with which it found a day refuge for aged workmen and indigent of both sexes. The refuge is to be a vessel moored in the middle of the Garonne, where soups are to be dispensed apparently in midstream. GERMAN GLEANINGS Of the 51,000 breweries estimated to be in the world 28,000 are in Germany. Germany employs some hundreds of women in its secret service. Several of them draw salaries of $10,000 a year. In Germany glass baths are taking the place of the enameled metal variety. They are both cheap and artistic. A woman dentist recently stopped with gold a hole in the tusk of a circus elephant at Innsbruck, but a few nights later the filling, worth $70, was stolen. A monument has been erected to Anna Holzel in the Schlossgarten at Mannheim. She was the wife of a carpenter who in 1784 saved the poet Schiller from a debtors' prison. SHORT STORIES. A boy of twelve in New York has five rows of teeth, or sixty teeth in all. Some expert has figured out that there are only 2,000 professional baseball players in the country. Dr. Thomas Darlington of New York says keeping dogs in the city is a crime against the city and cruelty to the animals. The sight of surgical instruments so frightened a man in a hospital at Norristown, Pa., that he leaped from the building and ran screaming into the street. By a formal order issued from the war department the memory of the late General Shafter, who commanded the American troops in Cuba during the Spanish war, has been honored by bestowing his name upon the military post on the Kahauki reservation near Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. Thirty-two years ago Mrs. Thomas Buker of Bath, Me., wrote two letters to her husband, Captain Buker, who was then traveling along the Mexican coast in a sailing vessel. The letters were never received by the captain and were recently returned to Mrs. Buker by the Mexican government. ENGLISH ETCHINGS. There are over 12,000 shops for the sale of milk in London. Tithes were first instituted in England in the reign of King Egbert, about 600 A. D. Cholera has not been epidemic in Europe since 1866, when it appeared in both London and Liverpool. It is estimated that the total first cost of England's present navy was $670,000,000, and about $330,000,000 has been spent in the last ten years. Before the trial of a suit for damages was begun in a London court the other day it was remarked incidentally that the defendant, a laundry proprietor, had been dead eleven years. An innovation in English county cricket was seen in the Yorkshire versus Sussex match at Sheffield. Before each delivery the ball was wiped with a towel, which was intrusted to the care of the umpire while the ball was in play. PLAYS AND PLAYERS. Shakespeare has been translated into Japanese, and the thespians of the mikado are making his plays popular. As to vaudeville, way back in the early sixties Ellen Terry made quite a success in that popular style of amusement. Burr McIntosh, who left the stage some time ago for professional life and the lecture field, is going to return and star in "Pudd'nhead Wilson" and other plays. Boston gave the stamp of its critical approval to the first performance of Richard Carle's new play, "The Hurdy-Gurdy Girl." Both music and lines are said to be bright. Among the twenty-two attractions which A. H. Woods will have on the road next season two are musical, and the list includes ten new melodramas. The others are old successes. HOME NOTES. If a narrow ribbon or tape is run into the facings of klimo sleeves, they may be tied in a bow and kept out of the way when one is working about the house. You will need less laundry soap if it is thoroughly dried before using. For this pile it in such a way as to leave open space between the bars to allow free access of air. When kerosene oil has been spilled on the carpet, cover the spot thickly with either fuller's earth or buckwheat flour and leave twenty-four hours at least before brushing it off. In some households bureau scarfs have been laid aside and the top of the dresser covered with a heavy glass slab. This can be easily wiped off and polished. As this glass is so thick there is little danger of it being easily broken. FACTS FROM FRANCE It is proposed to substitute solitary confinement during six years for the death penalty in France. No death sentence has been executed for some time. Trial is now being made in Paris of a new system of paving. Steel is laid on a bed of cement after the fashion of wood paved roads, the interstices, too, being filled with cement. A bird dealer in Paris raises canaries of an orange red tint by feeding the parent birds on cayenne pepper. In time he expects that the eggs will produce birds of a bright red hue. About $80 per year is charged for an unlimited telephone service in Paris, but in addition to this the subscriber must purchase his own instrument, which may be any one of a number of different kinds. The Plain Woman. She need not appear plain. She should experiment with her hair. She must study her colfure from all points. Well arranged hair may balance and annul a defect. Badly arranged hair may greatly exaggerate a defect It is the same with a dress or anything else—St. Louis Republic. QUAKER TURNED PAINTER. Lad Who Has Become One of America's Greatest Artists. The magnificent mural paintings of G. Y. Turner are among America's art treasures. How near this famous artist came to being forbidden an artistic career because his Quaker parents objected on religious grounds is told in the New Broadway Magazine. When it came time for the small son to take his place among the wage earners of the family—and that time came early—he communicated to his father his intention of being an artist. As has happened so often, the father objected. Not only did it seem to him most unpracticable from a monetary standpoint, but also contrary to the Quaker doctrines. In a family where brass handles on furniture were removed because they were considered frivolous and were replaced by knobs of dark walnut this was not a matter of small importance. Moreover, the father had intended that the boy should be a pharmacist. A compromise was at last reached. The painting of pictures was out of the question, but architecture recommended itself to the Quaker mind as serving a utilitarian purpose. At the same time, with the possibility of making infinite charts and drawings, it approached closely enough to the pictorial to satisfy the young Charles. Three years of apprenticeship to an architect followed. Then, having come to the realization that the construction of buildings and the painting of pictures are decidedly different phases of art, the boy took a position with a photographer and eventually accompanied him to New York. From the tinting of photographs, a phase of work at that time immensely popular, he drifted into pastel work and water colors, finally taking up oil portraiture. His success overcame even the Quaker principles and dignified the work as a profession in the eyes of his father. Keeping Shop by Machine Near Amsterdam a traveler—who does not know a word of Dutch—perceiving the announcement "English spoken," entered a shop. "English, sir?" asked a youth behind the counter. Then he picked up a cylinder, placed it in a gramophone, and the instrument duly sung out—but in German: "Sir (or Madam), the proprietor, who speaks German, will be telephoned for and will return to the establishment in less than five minutes. Will you please be seated?" The tourist, who knows German, seated himself. In came the principal, who speaks excellent English. The stranger asked why the gramophone did not talk English. The explanation was: "It's my stupid assistant! I have a cylinder on which recorded the message in English; he used the wrong one. There is no excuse for him; my English cylinder is tinted red at the ends, and the German one blue. Lucky for me, sir, that you know German, else I might have lost an esteemed patron." After all, that horrible engine has its sordid use—London Chronicle. The Cacelian Waltz "From the English descriptions of the Occelian waltz we judge," says a writer in a Berlin paper, "that there will be a sixteen step prelude to the regular waltz, that this introduction will have some of the old time minuet features and that when the waltz proper begins it will be something like the dance which was in vogue when we who are now middle aged and a little more were dancers. The fast and furious waltz which came from the country where everything is rush is beloved by the young people only because they do not know the dance of their parents." It was this, the graceful, slow and dreamy, that made the dance a soulful pleasure. It was this real poetry of motion that inspired Lanner, Gungi and Strauss. Welcome, new waltz, if you are like the old!" Areas of Our Largest Cities. New York is our largest city in area, with 209,000 acres. New Orleans has 125,000; Chicago, 122,000; Philadelphia, 82,000, and San Francisco, 77,000. Seattle has 49,920. Washington is next to Seattle, having 44,000 acres in its city limits. St. Louis, with more than 600,000 population, has an area of 38,276 acres; Boston, with 594,000, has 80,000 acres; Cleveland, with 414,000, has 22,422 acres; Pittsburg, with 345,000, has 19,418 acres; Cincinnati, with 332,000 inhabitants, has 23,616; Detroit, with a population of 309,000, has 18,388 acres; Minneapolis, with 214,000 people, has 34,105 acres, and St. Paul, with 172,000, has 35,483 acres—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Annette and Longevity. A great appetite has been generally regarded as a sign of fine health, but of recent years, since the experiments of Horace Fletcher, Professor Chittender, Dr. Wylie, Dr. Kellogg and others, opinions have much changed in this particular. It is the man who eats little who is healthiest and whose prospect of a long life is best. The voracious appetite of many persons is from habit, not necessity, and the experiences of the Trappists show that the cravings of nature may be fully satisfied with little food. Big Dry Docks Belfast, Ireland, now has the largest dry deck in the world. San Francisco will shortly possess a dock of even greater dimensions. The new dry dock in the latter city will be 1,000 feet long from gate to the landward extremity; width at coping, 144 feet, and at bottom 92 feet; depth over sill and below coping, 82 feet 10 inches, or 844 feet 6 inches at high water. The interior facing of the dock will be of re-enforced concrete of an average thickness of 6- WHAT HE GETS. He spends his money, likes to blow his coin—in fact, to burn it— To lend it to his friends, although He knows they'll not return it. Great admiration they evince When they incur such debts.

To plunge at something is his forte; He actually dislush bets; But people say, "Well, he's a sport!" That's what he gets. He thinks that it is worth his white, But I can see his finish, He may by day his little pile Will somehow dislush bets. You're noticed how the world will cool To former fortune's pets; You'll hear them say, "That silly fool!" That's what he gets. —Chicago News. In the Trouble of the Waves. A man is falling from a building. A fireman is standing nearby, holding a fire extinguisher. The Heroic Bodgers (in horse trough, to would be rescuer)—Neve' mind me. I can s-shwlm. Save the women and children (continues to strike out man- fully for the shore).—Sketch. A Hard Job. There is an old Irishman in Baltimore who for many years was prosperous as a grocer. Not long ago, however, the old fellow lost his all in "a side line" and was compelled to look for a job. Through the influence of a friend he was offered the position of crossing tender at a small railroad station in Maryland. The Celt looked dubious as the duties of the office were explained to him and the meaning of the various flags was stated. "In case of danger you wave the red flag," explained the man told off to instruct Mike. "Wait a bit, wait a bit," interrupted Mike, with a doubtful shake of the head. "I'm afraid this job'd be too much for me. I could never trust meilf to remember to wave a red flag whin there was a green wan hand."—Harper's Weekly. Once a Boy Himself "That man remembers that he was once a boy himself," a Broadway jeweler remarked as a customer left the store. "He came in just now and said he wanted a watch for his boy for a birthday present and that he wanted the cheapest I had." "The old skinflint! And I know he is well fixed, too," the jeweler's friend commented. The other smiled. "I told him that those very cheap ones wouldn't keep good time," the other continued. "But he said: 'Oh, that's all right. Just give me one that has the back fixed on so that he can get it off. He will be satisfied.'" -Woman's Home Companion. Fixed. During the recent stay in camp of the national guard of the District of Columbia one of the captains called a sergeant one day, saying: "Sergeant, note down Private Mooney—one day on bread and water for slovenly turnout on parade." "Beg pardon, captain," responded the sergeant, "but that won't make any difference to Mooney. He's a vegetarian." "Then," said the captain, "give him one day on meat and soup."—Harper's Weekly. Anything Better Than Home. "I am sick to death of everything," said the society woman. "Let's spend this evening where we've never spent one before." "Agreed!" said her husband. "Shall we try home or church? "Church," she replied, sighing—Judge. So Singular. "Funny," said Baretop, "but there was a time when the barbers used to speak of my hair." "You mean before you began to get hold?" asked his friend. At the Reception. Casual Caller (to one next him)—I was introduced to that squint eyed, red haired woman over there as Mrs. Somebody or other. Don't you think the man was an idiot that married her?

McCulloch of Chicago on taking up her new office of justice of the peace told a Chicago reporter that in the performance of marriage ceremonies she proposed to omit the word "obey." "In these enlightened days," said Mrs. McCulloch, "the word 'obey' has lost its meaning in the marriage contract. The best wife does not propose to 'obey' her husband any more than the best husband proposes to 'obey' his wife. Obedience is for dogs, horses—creatures without reason. "So I think we should drop this meaningless word—as meaningless as a certain other word was to a certain boorish husband. "The husband had been particularly nasty one rainy Sunday at home, and his wife finally began to cry. "‘Oh,’ growled the man, ‘how long do you expect eternal love to last anyway?’" I pity the man who can't learn anything from his own mistakes. Now, that's one thing I can do," said Bragg. "Ah! You're always learning something then, aren't you?" replied Knox. THE BROAD AX Front Bedroom to Rent. For rent, front bedroom for man and wife, or two gentlemen, must furnish good reference.

He recommends that the pay proper to all enlisted men, except recruits of less than one year’s service, be increased from 20 to 50 per cent, and that the minimum penal- ty for desertion shonid never be less than the unexpired term of enlistment. General Greely urges the necessity of materially increasing the pay of of- ficers and declares that unless it is contemplated the army shall be of! ficered from an aristocracy of wealth, for an officer’s position is fast becom- ing impossible for a-man without pri- vate income, increased pay should be ‘given him. ‘He says the minimum in- ‘fantry strength should be fifteen regi- ments, but if duty in Cuba and on the isthmus is to be part of the army work it should be twenty regiments. Army Ration Criticised. General Greely holds that the army ration, while excellent in quality and doubtless of sufficient nutritive value, in quantity and variety does not satis- fy the American soldier. He suggests that various edibles found on every American table, even of the poorest people, are entirely lacking in the army ration, although they appear on the naval list. May Change Army Uniform. ‘The plan to provide the enlisted men of the army with a more serviceable uniform is engaging the attention of officials of the war department. This subject has been agitated for some time, and the need of a uniform more | practical for everyday service purposes is gradually becoming more apparent. ‘Various’ recommendations are made | by officials of the department as to the style to be adopted. Colonel L. M. Maus, who has had much experience with soldiers in the field, believes that the present regulation felt hat is not adapted for campaigning purposes in a hot or tropical climate. The infantry marching trousers, he declares, should be made full around the knees and the cuff extended down the leg far enough to be inclosed by the top of the march- ing shoe, thus doing away with the legging.

A large hat may easily be made smaller in this day, when bias bands on the edge are fashionable. When the rim has been cut it should first be bound with tarlatan so the rough straw will not cut through the ribbon. The strips should form a true bias and be ‘wide enough to turn in about a quar ter of an inch on each side after the binding is on. An inch on each side of the brim is the approved width, though this is more or less a matter of taste. Be careful in cutting, especially if vel- vet is used, to match the pieces care- fully so that the nap and material run ‘the same way. Measure the amount ‘that just fits the hat, sew it together at the end and fit over the brim, stretching it in the middle and being careful not to stretch the sides or it ‘will pucker. When measured sew the ends together and snap over the brim. ‘Turn in the edges on both sides and blind stitch on. Be sure the seams come at each side. A binding may also be put on by sewing one side rather tightly to the top of the brim and then turning over and blind stitching on the under side, but the first way is more satisfactory.
