"GOD'S WILL NOT OURS BE DONE." The above were the last words of the president, addressed to his wife. The guilty anarchist is no providential instrument in consummating purposes of righteous dealing, yet in the language of our great executive now fallen in death, we humbly how; "God's will be done, not ours." A thousand and a thousand times more could we hope that Wm. McKinley were spared to the people of this generation that a nation might in its evolution gather to itself the fruits of its toilings. None who understand anything about the history of our country will deny that he was a great man. With cherished hopes for our best future we all regret this sudden and shocking demise. He was honest, we believe, and he sought in his own way to temper and harmonize the feelings of all sections in a manner as to conserve the greatest good. But President McKinley has been smitten down by the hand of a cowardly assassin. The world stands appalled at the terrible tragedy and turns with solicitous eye to the sad scene which hovers over our continent. The American people were proud of his abilities and he will be remembered as the president who guided the nation through its glorious development into a world power. National amity was his ambition and desire, and it is hoped that in this endeavor a lasting good and a universal peace shall become the crowning jewel of the republic. The president's assassination was for no other cause than that he was the official head of the government. It becomes the government then to down the assassins, drive them out of the country and relieve itself of a band of prowling murderers who lie in wait to take life. The horror of this crime stuns us by its inconceivable baseress. It should be a lasting lesson to the loyal sons of this republic and it should teach them to deal swiftly and promptly with a foe so dangerous to the government. But the end of our great head has come and sorrowing millions mourn the death of him who a few days ago confronted the responsibilities of the greatest government on earth. He attained a distinction that rendered him foremost in the history of republics. Suddenly the career of Wm. McKinley is cut short among the living. His life work is done. His name is given to history and interwoven and commingled with the philosophy of our momentous times. Let it be cherished in blessed memory for the part he has done in furtherance of Christian philanthropy. AN ORATOR AND POET GONE. News reaches us of the death of Dr. Alberry A. Whitman, who died in Atlanta, Ga., in August. We write of this remarkable man more as a duty to the race and to the world than as a matter of personal concern to the friends of the deceased. Mention of this character is here made because Dr. Whitman though slightly known to the masses of mankind, possessed most rare and exceptional powers of mind. If he were of the unproscribed race he would at once have been acknowledged one of the greatest living orators and poets of his time. His pure eloquence and sweet native poetry claim for him first rank among America's greatest of their kind. What he was, cause of his own brilliant genius, and as orator and poet he was the very exponent of nature's wonderful ideal. In either instance he was the very expression of sublimity. In every utterance there was power and beauty in the conception which stamped him as a most extraordinary character. Nature endowed him with the richest and purest gifts of mental powers and he wielded them with the simplicity of a child, seemingly unconscious of the fact that he was a favored son. Some men are great in their sphere, but Dr. Whitman was wonderfully great in most spheres. Some succeed worthily to places of honor and trust, others succeed unworthily, yet Whitman may have been the more worthy of them all, at least he may have been the more worthy to cast the first stone. With a keen and discerning intellect he studied nature and even learned the dispositions of men, so that he chose more readily to be the savant and benefactor of man than to become their chief. He never claimed the lion's share, for he felt so such ambition as springs from a world selfish propensity. High and masterful were his conceptions of the qualities and relations of things. He acquired a philosophy that was purely his own and looked upon a horizon far more extensive than THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1901. could be seen by those below him. The spirit of bigotry held no place in his mind and he was not only tolerant of the opinions of those who believed themselves to be his superiors, but was generous in judgment toward all men. Some deem it wise to write of the imperfections of the deceased, but all men have their imperfections, while only the great and the good possess those excellencies that are to be extolled. It is always appropriate then that we commend the virtues of the departed. It is never in place to dwell upon their faults. What man is without fault? UNGENEROUS RETALIATION. It is to be regretted that whenever our people at the south organize for the improvement and bettering of their condition at once there is an attempt upon the part of whites to organize against them. It seems altogether reasonable that instead of disparagement they should receive the encouragement of the good white people—even in Southland. In many of the cities in the south the housemaids and male servants around the house are receiving a mere pittance for their service. In short, they are hardly compensated sufficient to enable them to provide themselves with becoming attire. Afro-American servants have therefore organized with the understanding that they shall at least secure better pay. But in Huntsville, Ala., and Memphis, Tenn., white women have formed an organization with a view of obtaining white housemaids to do their work. In this they have committed a very grave blunder. We say this because it is wrong for the proprietors to oppress the struggling poor and we insist that the act will prove to be a blunder, because white housemaids are not going so work for nothing. Afro-American housemaids are willing to be servants, but they desire a reasonable pay. White girls do not propose to remain for any length of time in the condition of servants. They, too, want to play the part of mistress. Our girls in the south as servants are used to the calling as such. White girls are not, and the spirit of contempt for labor on their part will afford them such a feeling of unrest as to induce them to yield the place of housemaids to our girls. It is right that the latter should guard well their interests, but it is wrong that they should be the more oppressed. CHAMPION CITY CULLINGS.

Smith, Dear Sir: It is with regret that I noticed your defeat for renomination as representative from your county to the Ohio general assembly. It is indeed a great loss to the best thinking people of your state and hosts of friends throughout this country. The Ohio anti-lynching and civil rights laws will forever stand as monuments to your great and untiring efforts in behalf of the race. The results of your defeat may not be felt now, but our people of Ohio will sooner or later realize their great though temporary loss. We wish there could be more such courageous men as you with equal opportunity throughout the country. Yours truly, WM. ATLAS COGALOUGH. P.

Amateur needleworkers are often at a loss to know what is the best ground material upon which to work, and not infrequently good embroidery is wasted on unsuitable fabrics. Materials for the purpose need not be sumptuous or expensive, but they should always be of good quality. Cheap and inferior fabrics give tawdry results, and such creations litter a room rather than ornament it. Since decorative art is not a necessity of life, better to do without ornamentation of all kinds than use the "clap trap" sort. One who has time to expend on art needlework can afford the best materials, says the New York Tribune. No other fabric is so pretty for embroidery as linen, but it is of the greatest importance that it should be pure. Among so-called art goods many beautiful linens may be found, ranging in price from 50 cents to $1.50, and in quality from the finest lawns for doylies and the like to the heavy agri, or linen canvas, for heavy work. Good, pure linen of a less beautiful texture may be had for 35 cents a yard, and is far superior to the ready-stamped centerpieces, covers, etc., made of a cotton mixture known to the trade as "union." Of the charming colored linens so plentiful now, the Bulgarian and agri are most suitable for table covers, sofa pillows, etc. Simply embroidered, these always have a fresh, clean effect, and can be perfectly laundered. Among the prettiest colors are the old blues so often worked with white cotton or silk flosses, and the serviceable browns. Finger bowl doylies are best made of lawn, instead of the heavier kinds which are so often used for the purpose. Old bleached linen is the most suitable for drawn work. Nothing looks more refreshing Nothing looks more fitting one may, indeed, say appetizing—on a hot, sultry morning than the breakfast table set without the regulation cloth. A breakfast set of linen may be so simple as to be an economy in the matter of arrangement and laundering. A large centerpiece, with 12-inch doylies, is all that is absolutely required for the set, and they may be finished with a simply hem-stitched hem or scalloped edge buttonholed. Pretty effects in table linen may be obtained by using the suggestions found in the designs of damask. Wrought in simple outline stitch, with white floss, both unbleached and bleached damask may serve as a foundation for charming centerpieces, tray cloths and sideboard covers. Many of the luncheon cloths are woven in beautiful patterns well worth accentuating, and although the work of outlining them in flosses would probably take all one's leisure time for some weeks, yet many people would feel that the result had repaid the effort White is sure to be acceptable for the dining table, and white silk on white linen is most effective. Pale shades are less decided in effect than white. For dinners fairly strong colors are allowable, especially if they are to be used under gaslight. Monochrome work is always pretty—all blue or all green, for example, in suitable designs. Designs for embroidery, by the way, are more of a problem than the amateur realizes, and, unfortunately, few are worthy the name. Good designers are seldom in sympathy with the needleworker, and as a result drawings are too often unsuited to their purposes. Embroidery, in fact, is not enough appreciated in this country to make it worth an artist's while to design it, and, as a rule, miserable apologies have to serve the purpose. Scattered sprays of flowers do not constitute a design. A certain consecutiveness is necessary, and decided conventionality most desirable. The design should, moreover, be simple, not complicated and confused. Naturalistic drawings of flowers are good if they are arranged simply and conventionally. Filo is the most beautiful thread for white linens. On lawns it should be used single; on heavier grounds double. Practice is necessary before one can use an untwisted thread without roughing it. If the worker finds difficulty with her filo, either she is not skillful or her hands are not in proper condition. It should be handled as little as possible, and the thread should be allowed to fly loose. If the eye of the needle is sufficiently large constant drawing through will not injure the thread. The embroiderer's hands should be smooth and well kept, or she cannot expect to do dainty work. It is most important in using filo to preserve its luster, which is its chief beauty. --- to Lincoln street, west on Lincoln street to West Third street, and north one square to the gates of the cemetery. For hours before the time set for the commencement of the funeral exercises at the McKinley home, the streets along the entire length of the line of march were crowded with spectators. From the gates of the cemetery to the doors of the church there was on each side of the street an almost unbroken line of soldiers, and on all the intersecting streets detachments of militia were posted about 100 feet from the thoroughfare on which the corgege was to go, and nobody was permitted to pass in either direction. There was not a window that commanded a view of the line of march that was not filled with faces, the numerous stands were crowded to their nutmost capacity, and on the roofs were hundreds of people. From 9 o'clock in the morning until 5 in the afternoon, by which time the last of the parade had passed the church on its way to the cemetery, this condition prevailed. All day long the streets were kept closed by the militia and not a vehicle of any description save those belonging to the funeral cortege was permitted to enter upon them. No greater reverence has ever been shown to any man, living or dead, than that expressed yesterday towards the ex-president. As the funeral car passed through the streets men and women sobbed convulsively, and at the cemetery gates, where the crowd was densely packed and where the people had remained for hours pressing against the iron fence, two women fainted during the exercises at the vault. It was 4:04 o'clock when the funeral car bore the remains of the dead president through the gateway of his last resting place. Twenty minutes after that time the brief services at the vault were over and the members of the family and the distinguished men of the nation who had come so far to do him honor had passed through on their homeward way. For nearly an hour before the head of the funeral procession arrived at the gate of the cemetery, the strains of the dirges played by the bands came over the hill to the watchers by the vault, telling them that the procession was on its way. Finally at 3:30 o'clock the mounted police heading the parade came to the cemetery gates. Behind them came the Grand Army band of Canton, the solemn notes of "Nearer, My God to Thee," welling out as it came up the driveway. A moment after entering the cemetery, the music was changed to Chopin's Funeral Interlude, and it was to the time of this that the band passed out and on to the south side of the enclosure. Behind the band came the Grand Army posts, fully 500 of the veterans marching by. As they passed along the flower-strewn path many of them were weeping bitterly and they stooped by dozens to gather the blossoms which lay at their feet, and carried them away as mementoes. After the veterans came the men of the Sixth Ohio infantry of the national guard, the engineer corps of the national guard from Cleveland and the comrades of the late president in the Twenty-third Ohio volunteers during the civil war. Then came a long line of carriages bearing the members of the family and the distinguished visitors. From the first carriage that stopped at the foot of the walk leading up to the vault President Roosevelt alighted. Without waiting for those in the second carriage, which contained Secretaries Root and Gage, and Attorney General Knox, the president walked toward the vault and took a position on the south side of the walk close to the door. As Secretary Root came up the walk, he assumed a similar position on the north side of the walk and the other members of the cabinet ranged themselves by the side of the president and secretary of war. With bared heads the president and members of the cabinet, who were followed by the officers of the army and navy, stood on either side of the walk, the lines reaching just to the edge of the roadway. Within a minute after the formation of the lines the funeral car came up to the walk. The coffin was lifted from the hearse and borne to the door of the vault, where it was rested upon the catafalque. It was carried by the same men of the army and navy who have carried it ever since it left Buffalo. Bishop Joyce read the burial service of the Methodist church. As his words ended there was a brief pause, for it had been understood that a quartette of the Knights Templar was to be present to render a hymn. They misunderstood the time and had not arrived, and after satisfying himself of this fact, Col. Bingham waved his hand to eight buglers of the Canton band, who had taken their station upon the side of the mound above, and to the south of the vault. Instantly from the eight bugles rang out the notes of the soldier's last call—"taps." As the head of the division containing the Knights Templar wheeled into the cemetery, the quartette that had been delayed in reaching the place for the previous ceremonies took up a position south of the vault and sang "Farewell, My Brother." This hymn was followed by others. The selections were beautifully rendered and no part of the funeral ceremonies in Canton was more impressive. The last of the procession passed the bier at 5:45, and then orders were given by Capt. Biddle that the cemetery should be cleared. The order was quickly carried out and the president was left in the care of his guard of honor. The guard that will have the honor of guarding the bier of the late president is Company C, of the Fourteenth infantry. It is commanded by Capt. W. S. Biddle. Nature has been kind in selecting the last resting place for President McKinley. West Lawn cemetery is on a high knoll, with the city of Canton laid out below. If it were not for an intervening church spire one might get from this elevation a glimpse of the McKinley home. A Deluge in the South. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 19—Portions of Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina have been visited by terrific rains in the past 24 hours and in some sections considerable damage done. Near Buena Vista, Ga., several bridges, mill dams and one mill were washed away. LOCAL DEPARTMENT NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.—Subscribers not receiving THE GAZETTE regularly should notify us at once.

CLEVELAND, O WITH 3 THE OLD PLAYHOUSE. When the golden sunshine sifted thro' The leaves of the apple tree— Where the happy birds flew in and out To the nest we could almost see— And the guarded old bought drooped lov- ingly To shut out a summer sky. We built our playhouse in the grass— A dear little girl and I. The little brown hands worked busily, And our childish tongues flew fast As we planned and toiled for the tiny home— Ah, life, that such joys could last! And never a day was long enough, And we always wondered why The shadows came so soon, so soon— This dear little girl and I. I'd give the world, if the world were mine, For one of those days gone by When we built our playhouse on the grass— A dear little girl and I. —Florence A. Jones, in Minneapolis House- keeper. A Chase for Millions By GISELLE D'UNGER THE editorial rooms of the Daily Pencellings presented a scene of activity. Men of brains and energy contributed their best efforts to gain the favor of the public, and were amply rewarded by the encomiums passed upon the broad platform established some 20 years. Vigorous and concise were the summaries of volumes of statistics, reducing them to a condensation that practically benefited the the reader. Two young men were holding a conversation in a remote corner where the desks were not so thickly placed. One was tall and of a serious manner, while the other was a typical Bohemian, careless, happy-go-lucky, artistic, clever and a dare devil as to adventure in assignments. He was discussing the latest sensation, the reported engagement of a prominent social woman to a titled grandee. "Blake, all women are conquered by the glitter of gold. It's a case of 'if yo' ain't got no money, you needn't come round.' Grace Ward knows which side her bread's buttered on," he remarked in a contemptuous tone. "You are all wrong, Johnson," returned Blake, wincing under the other's careless words. "Miss Ward was not dazzled by the glitter of gold. Opportunity is like a diamond in the rough; it is spurned by man in its crude state, but coveted when it illuminates the jeweled gates of Happiness and Content in the land of Successful Attainment. Miss Ward appreciates opportunity, and, furthermore, the nobleman has intellectuality and manhood to recommend him." "Where did Miss Ward live before the Fairbanks took her up?" queried Johnson. "She came from Kings Kettle, near Ladybank, Fifeshire, Scotland, when quite young—but the time flies, Johnson, and I must finish this," was the reply of Blake. "All right, Ned, I must be going, too. That last edition of yesterday lacked a romance; I am going out to find one—in the slums." Frank Johnson nodded to the older man, buttoned his ulcer against the winter blasts and stepped off, whistling softly the latest popular air. "One man hit in that quarter once, I believe—accounts for the precise knowledge of her former home. Well! she's a beauty and Lord Alfred will have no cause to sigh over a good figure-head for his household. That's hardly fair to the lady—but the way the dear Four Hundred tighten their grasp upon a poverty-stricken nobleman with a bedimmed title reminds me of nothing more than the Laocoon. I declare, young, innocent girls are trained, taught to this exchange of their charming youth for the palsied hand of age, and its attendant serpentine coils of a title, a decayed ruin of a chateau or castle, and they submit so tenderly. It is beyond me, for these proud, fearless American girls endure tortures known only to themselves." Thus ran the thoughts of Johnson as he marched along the thoroughfare, but he was no nearer to solving the mystery than before. Meanwhile Ned Blake was not so mindful of "copy" as he had intimated to Johnson. Memory had reminded him of the days when the letters of Grace Ward had flown to him like a flock of tiny bluebirds breathing love and affection and a happy future. Now all was changed. A misunderstanding, coldness, silence, the advent of Lord Alfred Bruce, importunities of friends and—the engagement. "Johnson is a bright, breezy fellow," reflected Blake, as he leaned his weary head against the chair, "and as sharp as a steel trap. He would make an excellent correspondent of an exploring expedition, as he enjoys adventure. I'll speak to Henderson about him. He is too contemptuous of the follies and foibles of humanity to succeed here. He spoils a good story by having a sympathetic or antagonistic chord relative to it. By Jove! I must get out of here and have some air and quiet." Blake had been working at a terrible pace for months and he was even now straining every nerve to accomplish more than was expected of him, through the feverish restless striving from thoughts of himself. Work was the panacea. What mattered it if he did lie awake night after night conscious of gradual loss of strength for the day's labor, if at the close of the conflict for sleep he fell into a comatose state, neither awake nor sleeping, wherein a delicious, restful languor predominated, granting him floating visions of the woman he loved. Upon his brow he felt the gentle touch of her cool fingers; he heard her murmur words of pity and tenderness, in low, sweet tones, and for a few moments his soul seemed to leave the body and float with hers, as did Francesca and Paola, through space. It was worth the hard grind of the wearisome day to welcome night, the old struggle and once more this delicious and dreamy languor. Surely Paradise could confer no more exquisite sensation than was granted him in this hour of the early dawn. As the sun's rays flashed through the room and the discordant sounds of early traffic broke rudely on this reverie, he arose unrefreshed, depressed in spirits, feverishly anxious to take up the duties of the day. With a sigh of relief, Ned Blake, managing editor, pushed the copy from him, arranged his desk, locked it carefully, summoned a boy and delivered certain instructions. He left the room and in a few moments was on the street where the lights danced and flickered like will o' the wisps under the influence of a raw, east wind. On the way to Chickering hall, Blake encountered a crowd. On inquiry he learned of a collision between the cable and a private carriage, and from that description his heart knew that it was Grace Ward who was injured. He beckoned a passing hansom and drove to her home, regardless of all except that he loved her more dearly than ever. At last he saw her, pale and wan, but—was he dreaming?—a delicate blush mantled her cheek as she held out her hands to him. "My darling—my darling! I thought I had lost you!" he murmured, as he fell on his knees at her side. "No, Ned, it was a narrow escape. Fortunately, Lord Alfred was driving near and he averted the most serious consequences," she replied, nervously. "Lord Alfred! Grace, is he ever to be near you?" the agitated lover ejaculated, while the color flashed into his pale face. "Ned!" That was all, but the tone of reproach cut him like a whip. "My darling girl, it is rumored everywhere that you are engaged to marry him, but I could not believe it. You would not sell yourself for a title and the paltry gold he controls?" he asked in a bitter tone. "Ned! you are unjust to me now as always. Lord Alfred has been very kind, he is a connection of my family and he is arranging to restore certain estates to me that have been in litigation for years. Indeed, Ned, I fear you will be shocked to hear that I am Lady Grace Ward instead of— Oh, Ned! don't look so horror-striken," she added, roguishly. "It is a small affair, anyway. The title goes with the estates." "Where are the estates, may I ask?" he freezingly inquired. "In Fifeshire, Scotland, you know my birth-place. You are not angry with me because of this stroke of good fortune, are you Ned?" She looked at him keenly as if to read his soul. "Oh, no, I congratulate you, but it seems all a dream. Naturally you will go abroad and look after your affairs. In that case, you are free—in any case, I may say, as I have no desire to hold you to—" "Ned! Ned!" the girl interrupted him, in a beseeching tone, but his unreasonable overtaxed system refused to recognize it. "I am no fortune-hunter, Grace, but your opportunities are greater, and you must marry befitting your station." "Ned Blake! I am ashamed of you—an American gentleman discussing station and caste in this age and in this country. That is as absurd as your unreasonable jealousy over Lord Alfred. He is not young—more like a father to me, but you assumed that I was like most of the women, dazzled by gold and splendor. There are some exceptions, Ned Blake," retorted the new thoroughly angered girl. "You men credit us with intelligence, and at the slightest deviation from the line of your interpretation of us, from your point of view—lo! we are not angelic, seraphic, but individual. Dear me! Why are you all so illogical? We have been waiting for certain conditions to prevail that we may marry. Poverty was our bug-bear; you have been half-killing yourself to swell your bank account to respectable proportions, as you term it, that we may not be followed by that silent subtle serpent of life that stealthily follows from place to place, seeking to poison one in some vital spot—that bug-bear poverty. Now we—or I at least"—she hastily corrected herself—"have a sufficiency. Fortune or fate brings us together once more, and when I have the pleasure of telling you of our—my good fortune, you talk of 'station.'" During this impetuous speech, Blake had time to think that he was not quite the hero of this little tragedy; the heroine had the middle of the stage. "Grace, I beg your pardon," said he, gently. "True, true, every word you say, but there is a sequel. I have been successful—the mines have panned out well, and those stocks have gone whirling up, scattering dividends like snowflakes, and I have been longing to come to you and tell you of it. You must confess that when Mme. Grundy asserts that one of Beauty's daughters is to make a sacrifice to Croesus or the nobility—that is the same thing—a poor devil of a newspaper man feels his chances are nil." "The newspaper man is supposed to be possessed of average intelligence, I have always understood," Grace said this in a bitter manner, her indignation being still great. "Certainly, but in this chase for millions, the spirit of the age, the man with the greatest number carries off the prize. But, forgive me, and take me back to your loving little heart! Thank Heaven for the accident and no serious results except to my heart. In your good Scotch—a man's a man for a' that, a' that,' dear, and we will let by-gones be by-gones." He drew her to him in a quick embrace, and as she hid her flushing face in his coat, she whispered: "How about the settlement of the estates, Ned?" "We will start at once. Henderson gave me leave of absence for a year, I am pretty much run down, as you see—" "Poor boy!" "So we will be married at once—" "Oh, no! my trousseau!" "Hang the trouseau! we can get it on the other side." "How imperious we are, all of a sudden." "A slave is never imperious to his queen, my darling."—Radford Review. Queer Hitching. A Parisian who placed a fender in front of his automobile was so annoyed by small boys falling into the net for a free ride that he was obliged to remove the life saving device. The average yearly damage to French crops by hail is £1,420,000- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1901. FOREIGN GOSSIP Buda-Pesth barmaids, hereafter, must be 40 years old at least, by order of the Hungarian minister of the interior. While German farmers are always growling about hard times, statistics show that within the last 18 years the value of farm animals has increased at the rate of $20,000,000 a year in Germany. Glessen university insures its students against accident, paying $3,000 in case of death. Medical, chemical and veterinary students pay 20 cents a term for insurance; for the others no charge is made. An inheritance from the last exposition in Paris is an inclosure in the park at Vincennes in which scientists may study wild animals in surroundings resembling, as near as possible, those of their native haunts. Roof gardens for London private houses are proposed by the Hospital. The cost of a glass roof and of protection against the wind would not be heavy in proportion to the fresh air and other benefits to be obtained. Foreigners residing in Constantinople are much excited over the sultan's recent edict forbidding Turkish families hereafter to engage Christian governesses. The Turkish journals attempt a weak apology by attacking the moral character of the governesses. Empress Frederick, according to the London Daily Chronicle, was the cause of the introduction of Christmas trees into England. Her father, Prince Albert, insisted on having a German Christmas tree with its lights and decorations for his baby daughter in 1840, and the fashion spread quickly. Carpineto, Pope Leo's birthplace, came near being destroyed by fire recently. The people there pile their rubbish in a big heap in the middle of the village. During the drought the heap took fire and the flames spread to the neighboring houses, but the wind shifted and blew away from the village. THE ARAB IN THE DESERT. Though Always Poor the Man of the Sands Is a Picturesque Person The Arab of to-day is one of the most fascinating figures to be met with, especially if you meet him at home. The oases are little islands of beauty set in a sea of sand, consisting of a multitude of palm trees, growing where there is sufficient water, for the Arabs say that the palm "stands with its feet in the water and its head in the fires of heaven." Without the palm the desert, indeed, would be "uninhabited and uninhabitable." There are some 360 oases in the Sahara of various sizes. One of the chief is Biskra, which has not less than 160,000 palms, and from which we get large quantities of our dates. To see after hours of weary traveling so many palms in such a setting is a sight as impressive as it is beautiful, says the Harmsworth Magazine. The French Sahara covers 123,500 square miles, and 50,000 Arabs live in it. In the oases they build their houses beneath the palms, which afford much needed shade from the hot sun. Sun-dried mud bricks are the chief things used in making these houses. Palm trees provide any timber necessary. The houses are two stories high. But for the low doorways one would think they were high walls only. All the internal light is obtained by openings on the courtyard round which the house is built. The Arab home is somewhat of a prison for the women, who are rarely seen abroad. They take their walks upon the flat roofs, which are common to all eastern lands. But few Arabs live in houses. They are great wanderers. Wherever you travel in Algeria you are always meeting large caravans on the move. These Bedouins live in tents, which are simply camel cloths stretched over boughs. For the most part they are very poor and live on the produce of a few sheep and goats. But although poor, the Arab is always picturesque. "The European, beside the Arab, looks ridiculous. Let his top hat be ever so shiny, his clothes ever so well fitting, his form ever so straight, he looks at a disadvantage beside the spare figure and the flowing draperies of the wandering Bedouin whom he despises. The Arab is poor without being abased. He is sordid without being mercenary. Even his raggedness has a grandeur about it." The chief item in the Arab's costume is a white cloak called the burnous, which covers the whole figure. It has a hood, which protects the head from the sun. Beneath this there are all sorts of gorgeous vests and jackets. The legs are bare, but the feet are covered with rich red leather shoes, dyed with the juice of the pomegranate. A group of Arabs is always striking, but few more remarkable gatherings will be seen than in the market place of Biskra, where hundreds of Arabs assemble each day to buy and sell cattle, dates and other wares. Literal Coin Hunting. One of the most curious of the many curious trades of Paris is that of the coin hunter. Many coins must, of course, be dropped by inadvertence each day in a big city like Paris, and the business of the "filonneur," or coin hunter, is to find as many of them as he can. Sometimes, according to the confession of one of them, these poor creatures pick up as much as three francs a day, but their average takings amount to one franc 50 centimes. Wretched looking creatures they are as they walk in Indian file, with their eyes fixed on the ground, and they say that their trade is a very tiring one—London Lady's Pictorial.

Whatever it is one's duty to do it is one's duty to remember.—Ram's Horn. NEW ELECTRIC SYSTEM. Test of Railroad in Italy on Which Speed of Forty-five Miles an Hour is Attained. The first test of a new system of electric traction is reported in the Electrical Review as having surpassed the expectations of the installing engineers. This is the system that recently attracted so much attention in London, on account of its low bid for the electric traction work in that city. A correspondent in Italy, where the installation has just been completed, says that a speed of 45 miles an hour was secured without any serious jarring, and that trains of five cars were easily transported at this speed even on decided grades. The dynamos work perfectly at 21,000 volts on a line 67 miles in length. The engineers are particularly well pleased with the behavior of the electric automatic appliances. This new method of electric traction is what is known as the high-tension polyphase system, and the results of these tests have been awaited with much interest by electric railway interests in general. BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT. A unique excursion was recently arranged by the Union Pacific Railroad company. About sixty newspaper men, representing the leading journals of the country, were invited to take a trip on the Wyoming division, "The Overland Route," for the purpose of viewing the stupendous engineering achievements recently made on that line. The train was made up of two private cars, three Pullman palace sleepers, a dining car, drawn by one of the new compound engines, with an observation car—constructed on the same plan as a trolley car—ahead of the engine. One hundred and fifty-eight and four-tenths miles of new track laid, reducing the mileage between Omaha and Ogden by 30.47 miles, and reducing gradients which varied from 45.4 to 97.68 feet to the mile to a maximum of 43.3 feet, and curves from 6 to 4 degrees, while a great deal of bad curvature has been eliminated entirely. A mountain removed and lost into a chasm; huge holes bored hundreds of feet through solid granite, an underground river encountered and overcome; an army of men, with all sorts of mechanical aids, engaged in the work for nearly a year; the great Union Pacific track between Omaha and Ogden made shorter, heavy grades eliminated, and the business of the great Overland route flowing through a new channel, without the sightest interruption. Millions of money have been spent to reduce the grades and shorten the distance. This reduction is the result of straightening unnecessary curves, and the construction of several cutoffs between Buford and Bear river, Utah. The curvature saved is about one-half, the grading about the same, while the angles are reduced nearly two-thirds. The superiority of these changes is apparent to the practical railroad engineer. It is also apparent to the operating department in the reduction in operating expenses, and to the traveler in the increased speed the trains can make. The new line runs due west from Buford, avoiding the high hills and eighty-foot grade from Cheyenne, and piercing through cuts and the big tunnel, crosses the Black Hills at a grade of less than one-half (43.3 feet) over mountain altitudes. From a constructive standpoint the line is remarkable for the amount of material required in the construction of immense embankments and the building of large tunnels through solid rock. The construction of the new line between Buford and Laramie alone has involved the excavation of 500,000 cubic yards of material, one-third of which (exclusive of the tunnel excavation) has been solid rock, of something over 160,000 cubic yards per mile. Too much credit for this work cannot be given to Horace G. Burt, president of the Union Pacific railroad, and his assistants. The excursion was replete with many interesting incidents, and the splendid hospitality of the Union Pacific officials was a revelation. The newspaper men evinced their appreciation in many ways, particularly in a resolution of thanks to the Union Pacific officials, General Passenger Agent Lomax, and Messrs. Darlow, Park and Griffin.

The most important mail that has left Australia in years for London recently made a record-breaking trip. The mail consisted of 347 sacks and contained many documents for the British parliament. At Sidney it was put on board the steamer Ventura, a steamship sailing under the American flag and built only last year for the Oceanic Steamship company at the Cramps shipyard in Philadelphia. The trip across the Pacific occupied just 21 days, the former time having been 26 days. From San Francisco the mail was hurried east on special fast trains on the Southern Pacific (Ogden line), Union Pacific, and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroads, but arrived in Chicago too late to connect with the fast mail train of the Lake Shore and New York Central, which is a 24-hour train from Chicago to New York. A special train was made up and attached to one of the fastest engines on the Lake Shore line. The regular train was overtaken at Toledo, and the hour and a half lost time was made up. At Buffalo the regular train was made into two sections by the New York Central with the mail cars, including the Australian mail, in the first section. New York was reached three minutes ahead of schedule time. At New York the mail was delivered to the Campania and that vessel left on regular time. Barring accidents or unusual delays it will be delivered in England in several days shorter time than ever before.

As a result of the arrest, on August 15, of a ticket broker's concern at St. Louis, charged with swindling a customer, a gigantic railroad ticket counterfeiting scheme was uncovered. After the arrest of the brokers their office was ransacked and an immense number of tickets and passes found. It was almost impossible to place an estimate on the value of the tickets recovered, but it is stated by railroad authorities that $50,000 would be a conservative figure. It is believed that many of the tickets and passes were forged. At Buffalo a number of ticket scalpers have already been lodged in jail on account of fraudulent manipulation and forgery of railroad tickets. These instances are so numerous the public should take pains to see that their tickets are purchased only at the authorized offices of transportation lines. This avoids all complication and trouble to the passenger and assures him that the railroad tickets purchased are valid and will be honored as printed.—Exchange.

"For months I was unable to work on account of a severe pain in my back, and when I was able to do anything I was in pain and distressed most of the time.
