Pay all your debts and make some financial provision for the near future at least, before "taking in" the excursions, picnics and other pleasure attractions of the summer season. Many of our people go away visiting in other cities and towns, when the money they use to pay their railroad and other expenses belongs to people they owe for food, clothing, rent, etc. There is not one in ten thousand who really need these summer pleasures and trips or who can afford them either. Use a little common sense and practice more economy, and there will be more coal, food, clothes and better quarters to live in next winter. Last week the "lily-white" republicans of the Third North Carolina district, in convention assembled for the purpose of nominating a candidate for congress, made first-class tools of themselves and the McKinley and Roosevelt administrations that backed them as against the Afro-American republicans of that state, by adopting resolutions condemning President Roosevelt's memorial day address at "Arlington," in Washington, D. C., because of his remarks on lynching and mob violence. What he said, that was so obnoxious to the white republicans of the south like those of the Third North Carolina district, and southern democrats in general, was only used as "a club to beat the heads" of southern congressmen who on the floors of the house and senate persisted in their criticisms of the army's cruelty in the Philippines and the administration's Philippine policy. President McKinley's treatment of the republican organizations of South Carolina was bad enough, the Lord knows, but President Roosevelt's seems to be infinitely worse. He appointed that self-confessed lyncher, Geo. R. Koester, internal revenue collector for the state and immediately upon the adjournment of the senate the other day which refused to confirm the Koester appointment, he appointed a rank democrat by the name of Major Micah Jenkins as Koester's successor, a man who had absolutely no claim to such recognition unless it be the fact that he was a member of the Rough Rider regiment of which President Roosevelt was colonel and which he (Roosevelt) led into a Spanish ambuscade in Cuba and in broad daylight, too. The president seems determined to make every intelligent, self-respecting Afro-American vote for someone else than himself for president in 1904 in event of his nomination by the republicans of the country. Our people cannot stand everything. There is a limit even to their endurance, although the president may not think so. LOUISIANA PLAYING THE ROLE OF THE MURDERER. Anarchy is certainly in the lead in Louisiana or indeed something worse. Indifferently as the matter of mob violence is regarded in some parts of the south, it is evident that the subject has been so thoroughly ventilated and discussed as to afford the most obdurate and ignorant wretch an opportunity to fully determine from an intelligent point of view the overwhelming and terrible effect that the practice has had upon public morals and the country at large. Nor do we stop here. The people of Louisiana are but an exception to the progressive tendencies of our new civilization. Stunted and retrogressive under the repressive effects of that villainous system which once infected the entire body politic of the south, one need not wonder that the legislators of the state have shown themselves unwilling to give the governor special power to ask for an anti-lynching bill. But the act itself calls for the sternest rebuke. No American state known to carry the flag of our Union and sworn to maintain the honor and integrity of the nation is at all absolved from the responsibility and duty of rendering all loyal service to the cause of our republic. No state that is beneficiary of one tithe or title of the blessings of the national government can claim exemption in paying tribute to our laws. And no people in the exercise of their five senses can offer the lightest excuse, reason or apology for lawlessness, and crimes. But lynching has been made popular in the south and for this reason, the legislators of Louisiana, like moral cowards and skulking miscreants, have given their support and sanction to a most villainous practice upon the ground that a bad and demented element of the south favor it. But lynch law and the lynchers are odious before enlightened Christendom, and the moral sentiment of mankind brands and dooms them as the most hopeless and depraved that have ever yet been cast into outer darkness. The mother who bears the child whose father is a lyncher and a red-handed murderer has entailed upon that offspring a curse more infamous and galling than that which marked the brow of Cain. Irrespective of law or the lives of the innocent that are so often sacrificed at the cost of humanity and good government, Louisiana joins hands in drinking the blood of men put to death without a court of justice. The English language contains no word too severe to be given in condemnation of the awful crime. The deed is a dastardly outrage upon society and a rape upon humanity, because men wantonly and in beastly animosity vent their spleen upon scores of innocent ones whose cause demands the protection and vindication of the law. The governor asks this amenity, he pleads the cause of justice and in the name of righteous God, demands fair play, but Louisiana prefers mob law, anarchy and misrule. SENATOR CARMACK IN CO- GRESS. Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, has succeeded so far in keeping up a mighty bluster since he has been in congress. But we all know the man and he is doing no more than is to be expected of him. He is fond of notoriety and he therefore seeks to be sensational. As editor of the Nashville American he inaugurated the first crusade against the freed people of the south. He commenced the agitation of the question of Negro equality and so inflamed the passions of the people that the more virulent journals gave echo to his words. In an indirect manner he advocated the lynching of colored men and challenged men to public debate in justification of his convictions. Carmack aroused the whole south to intense rage and to-day is more responsible than any other man for the present frame of the popular mind throughout the country. Able, forceful and vitrolic, he wielded an influence that was at once effective against the Negro. He was a very Saul in his persecution of the poor Afro-American, and the south receiving his teachings as sweet morsel exclaimed "Thou Art the Man." The more sober and thoughtful trembled at the rashness and intrepidity of the man. He was removed from the editorial staff of the American. But the flame which he kindled in southland continued to burn with increasing glow. He was called to the management of the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. The citizens of the "Bluff City" caught the fever and soon three of the best citizens of color in that town were lynched with no just cause. Mob violence at length became a popular thing in the south. Carmack was elected to the lower house and now he finds his last reward as a member of the United States senate. Already he discloses the ragged edge of a record which promises nothing of good to the race—nothing of good to the republic. SOUTHERN DEFINITION OF RAPE. Editor New York Age: In commenting on the statement of Congressman Richardson, of Alabama, that lynching in the south is caused only by rape, it struck me as strange that you did not and that no northern paper ever calls attention to the southern definition of rape. In the south rape is sexual intercourse of a colored man with a white woman, either with or without the woman's consent. The only two cases of lynching for rape which have come under my personal observation were cases in which the illicit relations between the parties were entirely voluntary and long established. And the attention of the whole country was directed to the Darien (Ga.) affair a couple of years ago, in which an effort was made to lynch a Negro for rape on a white woman who had borne him a child, and which effort was prevented by the colored people of Darien at the expense of the death of one white man and the sending to the Georgia chain gang of some 25 or 30 colored men for varying terms of imprisonment. More than 50 per cent. of the lynchings for rape in the south are for cases of illicit relations between Negro men and white women of an entirely voluntary character, which are called rape when discovered, and investigation will disclose this fact. Only a few weeks back there was an aggravated case of this kind in a city in the northern part of this state. But for a southern Negro paper to publish these things in its columns would be to invite the destruction of its plant and the lynching of its editor. The Negro papers in the free and civilized north should make the facts known. In the town in which I lived during the last half dozen years, there were during that period four cases of rape by white men on colored women, but no case of a contrary kind. These cases constantly occur all over the south, but no mention is made of them in the newspapers nor is any punishment visited upon the perpetrators by the law. Will Fight for Suffrage Rights. Suffolk, Va.—Jordan Thompson, president of the Virginia Negro Industrial and Agricultural association, has announced that money is being raised all over the state to attack the lately proclaimed constitution, and especially the clauses disfranchising Afro-Americans. Thompson says ex- Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, John S. Wise, of New York, and Judge Lewis, of Virginia, are among those already retained as counsel. Thompson has recently returned from conferences in Mississippi, where our people also mean to fight the state constitution. They are doing so in Louisiana and Alabama.

Crum Explains. Charleston, S. C., June 30, 1902. My Dear Mr. Smith: I do not believe you intended to do me an injustice, and yet in your issue of June 28 you infer that I had something to do with the appointment of Mr. Koester and was willing to assist in having him confirmed by the senate. "That I slipped into Washington for that purpose." My recent trip to Washington was of a business venture and had no connection with the Koester matter whatever. I have never met or spoken to Mr. Koester in my life. He does not know me, nor I him. I have not asked, or written a line in his behalf to anyone. I did not approve his appointment, nor was I instrumental in having his name presented to the president. No one abhors lynchers or lynching more than I do; hence I could not advocate Koester in any way. I trust this letter will correct any false impressions you may have in this matter. You may use this letter in any manner you please. Thanking you in advance, I am very respectfully. W. D. CRUM An Appreciation of Mrs. John C, Freemont A charming retrospect of Mrs. Fremont's life is published from the pen of Laura B. Starr, in the August Delineator, which presents an interesting picture of this beloved woman. Mrs. Fremont is still living in Los Angeles, where her cottage has long been a Mecca toward which the general's friends and her own have turned their wandering footsteps. Gen. John C. Fremont's military career was "wound up" and his life almost wrecked because of an emancipation proclamation which he issued when in command of the department of Missouri. It was revoked by President Lincoln. This was during the early days of the war of the rebellion. Will Celebrate Fortieth Anniversary. Prisoners Dynamite a Jail: Prisoners Dynamite a Jail. St. Joseph, Mo., July 10.—James Blade, Leck Allen and James Murray, prisoners in the Buchanan county jail, on Wednesday wrecked the rear wall of the jail building with a charge of dynamite. Allen, Blade and Murray then made a fierce fight for liberty, but the guards beat them back with Winchesters. Seventy-five prisoners are confined in the jail, but many of them made no effort to escape and those who were nervy enough to try to follow Blade and his companions were clubbed into submission. No one was injured, although the explosion was felt for several blocks away and every window in the court house on the side next to the jail was shattered. Strikers Accept Terms Offered by the Railroads. Union of Chicago Freight Handlers Is Ignored-The Railroad Officials Agree to Give the Men an Increase of 20 Per Cent.In Wages. Chicago, July 10.—The strike of the freight handlers is virtually settled. Meetings of the strikers will be held to-day to ratify the action taken last night by President Curran, of the order, but, as he stated last night after a conference with the general managers of the railroads that he had agreed to their terms because the majority of his men were "going back" on him, there is little doubt that the terms will be accepted by the mass meeting of the strikers. By the terms of the settlement, the strikers accept the schedule of wages offered them by the railroads July 1. This schedule was emphatically refused by the strikers at the time it was made. It offered an average increase of 20 per cent, for all classes of labor connected with the Freight Handlers' union. The demands of the men would have made an average increase of about 30 per cent. The railroads at the time of offering the increase said that under no circumstances would they recognize the union of the freight handlers to the extent of allowing the officers of the organization to make terms for the men with the officers of the railroads by which they were employed. This was one of the chief reasons for the strike, the men insisting that the union should be fully recognized. The railroads have won a complete victory on this point. The attitude of the roads toward the Freight Handlers' union is the same as that maintained toward all local organizations of railroad men. The freight handlers demanded something that no other organization of railroad employees in Chicago had asked, and the managers announced that under no circumstances would they agree to this. President Curran, of the Freight Handlers' union, said after the meeting with the general managers that he practically had been compelled by his own men to accept the terms of the railroads. "Two-thirds of them would have gone to work in the morning, anyhow," he said. "and it was simply a question of doing the best possible under the circumstances." The railroads agree to take back all the strikers who will apply for their old positions by noon to-day. FLOODS IN THE WEST. Iowa and Nebraska Sustain Enormous Losses as the Result of Torrential Rains. Des Moines, Ia., July 10.—Continued rains have forced nearly all Iowa streams from their banks and the destruction of crops, live stock and other property is assuming immense proportions. It is impossible to estimate the damage from the indefinite reports received. The valleys of the Sioux and Maple rivers are flooded and Woodbury and Monena counties are under water. The Iowa river at Marshalltown is the highest since 1881. Many country bridges have been destroyed and traffic between Marshalltown and surrounding points is practically cut off. Cattle and hogs have been drowned in large numbers in the Iowa valley. At Cedar Rapids 5.4 inches of rain has fallen since July 1. The Cedar river is out of its banks and many families have been forced from their homes. Numerous bridges have been swept away in Linn county. Staunk river and Squaw creek are out of their banks and near their confluence in Story county, thousands of acres are flooded and crops practically destroyed. The continuous rains are paralyzing business in Fort Dodge and the railroads are almost out of business. The west end of the city is inundated and families are moving out. Omaha, Neb., July 10.—At Bennington, the Papio river has risen from a sluggish stream to a torrent a mile in width. Several houses in the east end of town have been washed from their foundations and 20 families were forced to abandon their homes. Fifteen hundred feet of Elkhorn track in the river bottoms disappeared during Tuesday night and several trains are blocked on both sides of the washout. Many bridges have been washed out and crops on low ground are a total loss. In Otoe county more than 50 bridges have been carried away by the floods and other losses have been heavy. Another section of the embankment carrying passenger tracks from the Missouri river bridge to the Union station in this city slid into the river yesterday, carrying with it the home of a Mrs. Collins, who had a narrow escape from death and received injuries which may prove fatal. At Beatrice the situation is growing worse every hour Sideswiped a Freight Train. Pittsburg, July 10.—The Blairsville accommodation train on the West Penn railroad last night sideswiped a freight car at Willow Grove, causing a serious wreck. S. B. Taylor, the engineer, was fatally injured and six passengers were seriously hurt. Train Fell Through a Bridge. Peoria, Ill., July 10.—A terrific rain and electric storm swept over Peoria and the adjacent country Tuesday night. Rain fell in floods for several hours and the damage wrought is extensive. All the railroad lines entering the city are affected. A Lake Erie & Western freight train went through a bridge at Faradale, six miles east of here. The engine and several freight cars are piled in the bottom of the creek. The engineer was fatally injured and the fireman lies buried in the mud beneath the engine. Renched High Water Mark Minneapolis, Minn., July 10.—High water mark in the attendance at the National Educational association's convention has probably been reached and it is also undoubtedly the record for number present at any meeting of the association. A conservative estimate places the number of visitors in the city at more than 20,000. Each of the 15 meetings yesterday was well attended. Nearly every department of the association held a meeting and the real work of the convention proper is on in full blast. Progress of the Miners' Strike in the Anthracite Region Charleston, W. Va., July 8.—Prosecuting Attorney Ossenton, of Fayette county, was here yesterday to see Gov. White, to ascertain if anything can be done to check federal officers in the enforcement of injunctions. In the absence of the governor Mr. Ossenton conferred with Federal District Attorney Atkinson and Marshal Thompson. Ossenton reports a reign of terror in the mining district. He says Deputy Marchal Cunningham is acting as a guard for the operators and is enforcing injunctions on every one. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 9.—A national defense fund to which all organized labor and the public in general will be asked to contribute is the latest proposition to help the striking anthracite coal miners if they need assistance in their struggle for higher wages and a shorter work day. Harry White, of New York, secretary of the National Garment Workers' union and a member of the conciliation committee of the National Civic Federation, had a long conference with President Mitchell yesterday, during which the plan was approved by the miners' chief, and Mr. White will at once begin preparations to carry out the plan. President Mitchell wants it understood, however, that the miners will accept no aid until their own resources are exhausted. Mr. White came here authorized by several labor organizations to place the proposition before President Mitchell. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 10.—In an address yesterday before the #00 delegates of District No. 1, in convention at Nanticoke, President Mitchell, of the Mine Workers' union, said he had never participated in a strike in which he was so confident of success. The national president severely criticised the Citizens' Alliance organizations which have been formed in Seranton and Wilkesbarre for the purpose of prosecuting persons who boycott on otherwise intimidate men still working in the mines. Charleston, W. Va., July 10.—The cause of the strikers was strengthened yesterday when the management of the mines were advised by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co. that they cannot haul the coal offered them, pending a settlement of the strike. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will not transport coal taken out of the mines while the union is on a strike and have so notified the company. Manager Cassady, of the Winifrede Co., says he will barge the product down the Kana-wha river. Another Descent for Castro. Willemstad, Island of Curacao, July 8. News has reached here from Venezuela that 3,000 government troops under Gen. Castro, the president's brother, were completely routed July 3 between Aaragua and Barcelona by troops of the revolutionary army. The government forces lost all their ammunition and equipment and many of the soldiers deserted to the revolutionists. After the battle the revolutionary army moved on Barcelona and surrounded that city. The inhabitants were panic-stricken, the shops were closed and the streets were barricaded. The Corn Corner. Chicago, July 10.—Developments in the corn deal yesterday were the failure of at least two expectations. One was that the bottom would drop out of the market because of reported settlements with outstanding shorts, which would mean the abandonment of the deal by the bull traders, and the other that the screws would be given a turn by the Harris-Gates people and the price forced still higher. There are apparently only two places where the shorts can cover. One is in the corn pit on 'change and the other the private office of Harris-Gates & Co. King Edward Improves London, July 8.—King Edward will be crowned between August 11 and August 15. His recovery has been so rapid and satisfactory that the above decision was arrived at Monday. London, July 10.—King Edward's progress is favorable. He reclines on a movable couch most of the day. Some of his physicians are still in constant attendance upon him. It is his present intention to be taken on board the royal yacht early next week. Katal Assault by Thieves New York, July 8.—Mrs. Margaret Kelly, 65 years old, wife of an employee of Whitelaw Reed, at his summer residence near White Plains, is dying as a result of injuries received at the hands of thieves. Mrs. Kelly was approached as she stood in front of her home by two men. She turned to go into the house when one of them struck her with a stone wrapped in a handkerchief. Her skull was fractured. The thieves then robbed the house. Thomas Is Alive. Plainfield, N. J., July 9.—Lewis S. Thomas, of this city, one of the teachers who was supposed to have been slain by the natives in the Philippines, is alive. Robert Craig, of Dunellen, has received a letter from him postmarked Nagasaki, Japan, June 6, in which he says that he left the Philippines for Japan to see the sights. He will resume teaching in the fall, but will be transferred from Cebu. Trenton, N. J., July 8.—Judge Kirkpatrick, of the United States circuit court, on Monday appointed George D. Hallock, of Plainfield, N. J., receiver of the Bay State Gas Co., of New Jersey. This is the company that was organized by J. Edward Addicks and others for the purpose of controlling the Boston Gas Light Co. the Roxbury Gas Light Co., the South Boston Gas Light Co. and the Bay State Cas Co., of Boston. The application for the receiver was made by Frank L. Day & Co., of New York, who hold $160,000 worth of bonds of the syndicate. Cheyennes are Excited. Cheyennes are excited. Guthrie, O. T., July 8.—The Cheyenne Indians near Calumet are holding a council of war, angry over an order issued by Maj. Stouch, Indian agent, prohibiting them from practicing the tortures, so-called, incident to their sun dance. The Indians are excited and the whites near Calumet are frightened. About 2,000 Indians took part in the dance last week in celebration of their religious festival and the tortures were to have closed the doings. This is the first time that the dances of the Cheyennes have been stopped by the government. CANT CATCH HIM. Outlaw Tracy Is a Very Slippery Individual. The Escaped Oregon Convict Has So Far Killed Three Men and Shota Number of Others-Blood-hounds Let Loose on His Trail. Seattle, Wash., July 9.—News was received at the sheriff's office yesterday that Harry Tracy was at Rancher Gerald's house, below Renton, on the Cedar Mountain road. A little after 2 o'clock the 17-year-old son of Rancher Gerald arrived at the sheriff's office with a gold and a silver watch, saying that Tracy had arrived at his father's house at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning and, after eating a hearty meal, had sent him to a neighbor's house with the two watches, with instructions to try to sell them. Tracy said "if he were given away" he would kill the whole family, the boy included. The boy, knowing that it was Tracy, concluded to bring the watches to the sheriff's office, hoping that the desperado would remain there until a searching party could arrive. The watches answer the description of those stolen from the Johnsons. The first posse took a trolley car for Renton. At that place a locomotive was in readiness to convey the man hunters a mile and a half up the Columbia & Puget Sound railroad to the immediate neighborhood of the Gerald house. The second posse started for Renton an hour later with bloodhounds. Sheriff Cudihee with several deputies left for Renton during the afternoon. When the posse reached the Gerald place they scattered and took positions so they could watch the house to the best advantage. The peculiar actions of Mrs. Gerald convinced them that Tracy was still in the house. On the arrival of Sheriff Cudhee the posse closed in on the house, only to learn that Tracy had given them the slip. He had left the house by a rear door ten minutes previously while the posse were taking up positions to watch the place, hid a few minutes in the bushes, and then quietly slipped away through the woods toward Palmer. The wonderful coolness and daring of the convict was never more fully exemplified than in this instance. In the back yard of the Gerald home Anderson, the man whom Tracy had kept a prisoner from the time he left Fort Madison, was found tied to a tree. Tracy had tied Anderson while the posse was in full view of the house. Bloodhounds were let loose on his trail, and are reported to be only a few minutes behind him. Fully a thousand armed men are now engaged in the pursuit. During the pursuit of Tracy, which has covered several days, the Oregon outlaw has killed three men and shot a number of others. Seattle, Wash., July 10.—The pursuit of Outlaw Harry Tracy appears to be temporarily suspended. Sheriff Cudihee has called in the guards from the southern suburbs, leaving only a sufficient number for a careful patrol. It is believed that Cudihee expects the convict, if he reappears at all, to show up in another part of the country. The posse that started from Renton with the bloodhounds yesterday morning returned during the afternoon after a fruitless search. The Salem penitentiary guard who is with the party at Renton is certain that Merrill and Tracy are once more together. Three suspicious looking individuals have been captured at Renton. The men have the appearance of tramps and it is thought they may be three of the four men who met Tracy at Black River bridge Monday night, and walked through Renton in the convict's company. At the jail they gave their names as Andy Neilson, Tom Madden and Phil Ritchie. The first two say they are loggers and the third says he is an iron bridge builder. Their statements as to their recent actions are conflicting. Flood at Rochester. Rochester, N. Y., July 9.—Never has such a high stage of water been seen in the Genesee river in this city at this time of the year. The Erie railroad's tracks for a distance of 500 feet are under water and the upper end of Exchange street for 600 or 700 feet is flooded to the depth of two or more feet. At Charlotte the shipping is practically tied up. The Flats are flooded. A jam of trees, hay and a great quantity of lumber from up the valley has formed, nearly two acres in area, and is backing up the flood. Dairy Commissioners Meet. Portland, Ore., July 10. The national convention of food and dairy commissioners met in this city yesterday. The passage of a national pure food law by congress, which will provide for uniform food legislation throughout the Union, will be the principal topic to come before the convention. A Double Execution: Sallisbury, N. C., July 9.—Arch Conley, an Indian, and Dick Fleming were hanged upon the same scaffold in this city yesterday. Conley paid the death penalty for the murder of a young negro last November. Fleming was hanged for committing an assault on a white woman. A Commotion at Tulsa. Guthrie, O. T., July 9.—Great excitement has been caused at Tulsa, Indian Territory, owing to the discovery by surveyors working north of that place, of cracks in the sides of mounds, as though from great pressure underneath. Gas is escaping from the fissures and a continual hissing and roaring can be heard. On the extreme top of the highest hill there has been a small volcano at work, raising up large boulders and tossing them aside. Experts claim it is a great oil and gas field and that pressure from a great depth has caused the commotion. End of a Labor War: Denver, Col., July 9.—Judge Hallett, in the district court Tuesday dismissed the case of George S. O'Hara against the Cooks' and Waiters' union on the promise made by the union representatives that they would no longer boycott and picket restaurants. This ends a labor fight that at one time threatened to cause diplomatic complications between the United States and Japan. O'Hara is a Japanese, who has two restaurants in this city which were boycotted by the union because non-union waiters were employed in them. --- HOME-SEEKERS' EXCURSIONS Via Pennsylvania Lines.

FAILED TO DO HIS DUTY. The Governor of Hillinois Reprimands a Sheriff. Springfield, Ill., July 8.—Gov. Yates on Monday received from Sam Baxter, sheriff of Saline county, an answer to his recent letter in which he reprimanded the officer for his failure to protect negroes connected with the colored school at Eldorado, who were victims of whitecaps. Baxter alleges that he did not advise the negroes to leave and that he did all in his power to protect them and also that he enlisted the aid of the United States deputy marshal. He does not say, however, that he is endeavoring to bring back the negroes who have been driven away. Gov. Yates, in reply, sent a letter to to Sheriff Baxter, in which he says: "You deny that you advised anyone to leave your county, and assert that you have done and are now doing all that is necessary to protect life and property and personal rights. I sincerely hope your statements are correct, and that the report of the assistant adjutant general was erroneous, but to put it very mildly there are several things which indicate that you certainly have fallen short of your full duty in this matter. You seem to have been relying somewhat upon the United States deputy marshal to perform some of your duties." Gov. Yates has received a letter from President Alston, of the industrial institute at Eldorado, confirming the reports of violence against the colored people of Eldorado. In reply the governor tells Alston, who fled to Metropolis, Ill., to return to Eldorado and reopen his school. ONLY ONE CHANCE To Visit the Seashore on Cheap Tickets.

J., July 3.—For the first time in 20 years the six shoe factories of this place, employing about 1,500 men and women, are idle as the result of a conflict between the manufacturers and their employees. More than half the population of the town is dependent upon the shoemaking industry for a livelihood. Recently the shoemakers, men and women, organized under the name of the Burlington Boot and Shoe Workers' union No.1. The manufacturers objected to this proceeding and last Thursday posted notices in their factories that beginning yesterday only non-union labor would be employed. The union at that time numbered about 400 members, but since then, it is claimed, all of the employees have become members. One Killed. Sixteen Injured. Troy, N. Y., July 10.—As the result of a head-on collision between two cars on the Hudson Valley railroad at Caldwell yesterday one person was killed and 16 others were more or less seriously injured. One car was an express and the other a passenger, the latter loaded with 84 excursionists from Stillwater, members of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. The collision was terrific in its force. Both cars were wrecked. A Mrs. Stockwell, of Stillwater, was fatally injured and died soon after. The motorman of the passenger car was buried in the wreck. He was very badly injured. Four Babies! Hoboken, N. J.—A white man who said he was a railroader entered the drug store of William Kamlah at Hudson and Newark street, Tuesday, and bought four nursing bottles, saying that he had use for them right away.

Washington, July 9.—Up to this time the war and navy department officials have considered but two factors in the coming joint army and naval maneuvers on the Atlantic coast in September—the invading and defending forces. Now, according to the plans of Secretary of the Navy Moody, there is to be a third factor—the press of the United States. The secretary believes that as the press plays an important part in real war it should be considered in connection with the coming maneuvers. Therefore, he contemplates throwing the press correspondents of the country upon their own resources, meanwhile having both invaders and defenders regard the news gatherers as a "common enemy" and endeavor to mask the movements of their forces as much as possible from the public. It is not believed that under Secretary Moody's plan there will be anything to prevent news organizations from chartering vessels of their own and keeping up with the fleets at sea the best they may, for this was done in the late Spanish-American war. In the late war the great press organizations also had correspondents aboard the flagships of the fleets. Secretary Moody points out that his plan will be valuable in bringing to light news "leaks" for which officers who are found responsible will be reprimanded. AN ILL-FATED JOURNEY. More than 1,000 Men Died from Cholera While Trying to Punish Savage Tribesmen. London, July 9.—While Harry De Windt has been undergoing tragic experiences in Siberia, his nephew, Charles Vyner Brooke, son of Rajah Brooke, of Sarawak, who married De Windt's sister, has been having a terrible time in the northern part of Sarawak. Dispatches received here from Singapore, Straits Settlements, give details of the suffering from cholera of the expedition, said to number 10,000 men, sent up the Batang river, Borneo, to punish the head hunters. When the expedition of which Mr. Vyner Brooke was a member started, June 10, it was composed of 815 boats. By June 14 the fleet was reduced to 40 boats, owing to desertions and on account of the fear of cholera. By June 19, over 1,000 deaths from cholera had occurred and hundreds were ill. The intensely hot weather favored the rapid progress of the disease. The remnant of the expedition, however, successfully fought the head hunters and, including Vyner Brooke, returned safely to Singapore. Served Him Right. Boston, July 9.—Charles Roberts, an assistant steward on the Cuadarer Saxonia, was yesterday fined $10 in the East Boston district court on pleading guilty to a charge of desecrating the American flag. Roberts with two companions was enjoying the Fourth of July in East Boston and was intoxicated. At a hotel there Roberts took a small American flag from his pocket and, after making insulting remarks, tore the flag into shreds and threw them in the face of a stranger. Several of those present drove the three men into the street, where one Bostonian singled out Roberts and gave him such a beating that the latter has since been confined to the hospital. Roberts is an Englishman. A Murder on Shipboard. Pennsacola, Fla., July 9.—A sensational story of mutiny and murder on the high seas is told by Capt. McDonald, of the American schoooner Mary Sanford, which arrived Tuesday from Bluefields, Nicaragua. During the voyage A. G. Nicholson, the first mate, killed Fred Reed, a negro seaman, because he did not perform some duty in a manner to suit the mate. Immediately after the murder four West Indian seamen, countrymen of the dead man, resented the murder of Reed, and threatened to hang Nicholson from a yardarm. The captain, two mates and steward were the only white men on the vessel and they managed to preserve order. Two Farmers Suicide. Hinton, W. Va., July 9.—William A. Mahan and Charles H. Blaker, two prominent farmers of Sweet Springs, committed suicide by shooting themselves. They had before threatened to kill themselves and were being closely watched by their relatives. At an early hour they left their homes with their guns and said they were going hunting. Their families thought but little of their going until they heard two gun shots. Both men were 42 years old and cousins. Strikers Galned Nothing: Pawtucket, R. I., July 9.—The street railway employees' strike, which has been in force since June 3, was last night declared off. The strikers gain absolutely nothing. Excepting five who have made themselves objectionable, all the men will be taken back on the basis of an 11-hour day at 18 2-3 cents an hour. Family Quarrel Ends in Murder. East St. Louis, Ill., July 9.—As the result of a, family quarrel, Jeremiah ' Fenton, a machinist, last night shot his wife, mortally wounding her, and then blew out his brains.

F., July 9.—Reports continue to arrive here of disasters on the coast as the result of the recent storm. Whittle's craft, with five men, was lost off Cape St. Mary. Hennessy's schooner, with 25 men and two women on board, barely escaped foundering in Maddox Cove. Eighty boats were destroyed in Pouch Cove. The loss in fish nets and gear sustained by the settlements in the vicinity of St. John's is estimated at $40,000. The schooner Lily, with a general cargo, ran ashore in Blackhead Bay and is a total loss. Volcanoes in Eruption. Managua, Nicaragua, July 9.—The Democracia, of this city, reports that the volcanoes of Mirad Valle and Rincon Vieja, in Costa Rica, situated respectively 80 and 60 miles southeast of Lake Nicaragua, are in active eruption.

MARK you, Francis Beauclerc!" said Sir Charles Anthony, joining me as I sat moodily drinking alone in the White Horse inn, and thrusting close to mine his wicked, handsome face, "You are an evil case—a younger son crowded out of your brother's house; no chance for preferment at court; no means of livelihood; at the end of your resources." Here he drew out a score of gold pieces and jingled them right musically. I eyed him askance, for I hated the man. And presently he went on: "Bethink you how many bottles of noble wine how many nights of gaming with dice and cards, what generous meals and goodly raiment lie in these golden coins. And therefore I think you are the man for my work." "What is your work?" I asked, keeping my temper in check. "Zounds!" he cried, with an evil laugh. "Tis like a play. With half a dozen of my bullies you stop a carriage in which rides a pretty maid I hold most dear. You make a play at abduction with much noise and clashing of steel and stage business. Then come I to the rescue. We cross swords, you fall, and I carry off the maid in triumph, her rescuer and protector." "You have forgotten my temper in your catalogue of my failings, Sir Charles Anthony," I said, rising. "I will play no villain in any plot of yours. But as to crossing swords—" Here I laid my hand on my hilt and bowed to him. With that Sir Charles sprang up also with fury in his face, and while one might count two score, we stared in each other's eyes. Twice his hand stole to his belt as if he would draw steel, but in the end my gaze mastered his and scowling evily he turned his back and strode from the house. A woman's scream roused me from my thoughts as I strode up the narrow side street that led to my humble lodgings. It seemed to come from an alley close at hand, yet when I searched its depths with eyes and ears it was as silent as the grave. "Twas a dark hole and prudence whispered to let the adventure pass. Yet I knew, though I knew not how I knew, that it was a good woman who had screamed and no creature of the streets. So, with drawn sword, I tip-toed into the darkness till I saw a flutter of white against the wall. "Who cries for help?" I said, loudly, stepping forward. "It concerns you not," answered a surly voice, and a dark figure came boldly out. "Be gone and mind your own affairs." "What have you here?" I asked, pressing forward. But the man barred my way, threatening to spit me on his blade. Loath to use the steel till I saw further into the matter, I caught him by the wrist as he raised his arm, and with a twist and a trip sent him sprawling, and slipped past him into the turn of the alley. Here 'twas dark as a pocket and I could see nothing. But as I felt about my hand closed on the soft, filmsy stuff of a woman's gown, and under it was a woman's breast—a girl's. "Ha!" I cried, "Tis some wench you are misusing." "You mistake," said a civil voice from behind the girl. "Tis my young sister, who will out o' nights, and we but take her home." "I tell you again you are meddling in a private matter," broke in the first man's voice. "Tis for the girl's good, and we have authority. Stay longer at your peril." I was half convinced and was on the point of withdrawing with an easy conscience when the girl caught my hand and carried it to her face. She was gagged. "You knaves!" I cried, tearing loose the scarf from her mouth. "Who is this you have gagged?" With an oath the man behind the girl stepped out and ran toward the street crying for a lantern and blowing a whistle shrilly. Grasping the girl by the arm I dashed forward, thrusting ahead of me as I went. Half way out my point took something soft that cried out and fell. At the alley's mouth I could see better and here aark figure rushed on me fiercely. I fitted him like a lark and he went own in a heap. In the street I thought to have clear way, but the whistle brought three or four men who set upon me with swords. Calling to the girl to run for her life I faced about briskly to meet their attack. But she would not, and went back with me against a wall where they pressed me hard. Two I pinked so that they drew out with groans and curses, but one of the others got in shrewdly on my left shoulder. I was in evil case when the girl cried in my ear that there was a door at our backs. With a shout I sprang out and drove them back a step, then turning, ran after her within BE KIND YOURSELF.

Let us hide behind that clump of blackberry bushes and watch the parent birds as they come to feed their young. There comes the father robin now; you can distinguish him from the mother by his darker plumage. You will notice that in coming with the food he alights on a particular twig, hops along a particular branch and alights on a particular side of the nest. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1902. OUAIL IN NORTHERN WINTERS The Birds Have Demonstrated Their Ability to Withstand the Severity of the Season. Reports from Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota show that the quail in the southern parts of those states wintered well; in the northern parts there are no quail winter or summer, says the New York Sun. The hardiness of the birds has proved a surprise, as in western Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota the snowfall was the heaviest in years. In January it was the belief that the quail would be almost exterminated. In that month came the kind of snow that is the most deadly to ground-bird life—soft and continuous until a depth of nearly a foot on the level was reached, then a slight rise in temperature followed by a drizzling rain, which wet the snow thoroughly, then a fall and a hard freeze, converting the snow surface into solid ice, roofing over the particles beneath. When a storm of this kind comes the birds take shelter under bushes, but the snow finds them and covers them. When the freeze follows their only recourse is to tunnel their way to the upper air and the quail is often not strong enough to make a way through the frozen crust with its beak. An imprisoned flock takes turns in hammering at the crust, but even if they gain their liberty, coming out one by one through a hole just large enough to permit of egress, they find their feeding places almost impenetrably covered and have a strong chance of starvation. Now and then a kind-hearted farmer throws out wheat or chicken feed near his barn, but generally the bevies are left to look out for themselves and whether they live or die depends entirely upon the length of time the frozen crust lasts. Quail are exceedingly daring and ingenious in finding food under such circumstances. Some bevies come up to the farm- yards and associate amicably with the chickens, sometimes even going into the henhouse to roost. The huge Brahmas and Cochins regard the invasion with dislike, but cannot catch the nimble little marauders who get much more than their share of the food until their small crops are filled. Other bevies stay along the edges of streams. Here the snow upon one or the other bank is apt to be lighter and to drift and leave the ground bare, and it must be singularly barren ground from which a snow-harassed quail cannot manage to extract some autriment. Others feed upon the still-clinging seeds of weeds which project above the crust and others try their already more bills along the crevices of old logs and trees, looking for worms which have gone as far in from the cold as they can get. The state of Wisconsin has been at much trouble and expense as to its quail. Some years ago there were not dozen quail to a county; they had been shot, netted and trapped almost to extinction. Some thousands of pairs were imported from Oklahoma, a territory which does not now permit the exportation of quail, and they were turned loose in a cold and strange country to die or multiply as they saw fit. No effort was made to take care of them, but a law was passed forbidding the shooting of quail under heavy penalty for five years. At the expiration of that period they had increased marvelously. Then the farmer element in the legislature extended the period by three years more, which has two years to run. If the quail are not exterminated by some savage winter there will be rarg sport in Wisconsin in 1904, unless the grangers again intervene. The farmer wants the quail let alone, because in his opinion it is a slaughterer of potato bugs. It does eat potato bugs, but THE HARE OR THE TORTOISE ANY are the wonders the plodders of this world have accomplished. Take history through and you will find that we owe our greatest meed of progress to the plodders. Don't be ashamed of being one of them. The young man or young woman in school is inclined to envy him or her who gets through the day's lessons with ease; they would like to be of that class who can read the lesson over once and pass the class room with flying colors. But be careful of your heroes; they may fall. Easily learned is oftentimes easily forgotten, and the days of final examination are drawing near. So it is in the sterner duties of life that come after school years have passed. The man who forges ahead without first acquiring the rudiments of the business or profession into which he has entered is not always to be found at the end of the race. The lesson of the hare and the tortoise is yet applicable to these modern days. Push along, gradually if you must, but push along. the door and bolted and barred it in their faces. Within was utter darkness, and we felt our way along through a narrow passage till we reached a room with a window that gave us a bit of the moon. There was a door, but it was fast on the other side, and the window was heavily barred. Plainly we could go no further, unless we could raise the house. I rapped with my dagger hilt, but there was no answer. After many trials I gave over, not thinking it wise to betray our plight to those on the street. "How fares it with you, girl?" I said, drawing my companion to where the moonlight fell. I had expected to find some simple, burgeoise maid, and lo! my gaze fell upon one richly dressed with the air and carriage of a gentlewoman. Half girl and half grand dame she was, and the fairest my eyes had ever lit upon. And with it all some trick of the memory made me know that I had seen her face before. "By our lady!" I cried in sheer surprise. "Who are you and how came you here?" With that I took off my cap and bowed with all respect. "Why," she answered with a smile, to see me so lost in wonderment, "my carriage was stopped and I was taken." "Ha!" I cried. "This is the doing of Sir Charles Anthony." "Truly I think so," said she, "and I think also that I shall have no peace from him till some brave man removes him from this world." And with this she looked at me with broad significance in her gaze. "As for the rest," she went on, "I am Eleanor Fairfax, now grown to woman's full estate, as you may see. That I am here, I have to thank Sir Francis Beauclerc." I stood silent in surprise, hardly able to trust my ears and eyes, and yet it was the girl with whom I had been brought up in Devonshire. "Not 'Sir,' but plain Francis Beauclerc," I said, at length. "Tut!" she answered, as one who brings good news, "you are behind the times. Your worthy and loving brother is dead these seven days, and even now a messenger searches for you to wish you joy." I would have poured upon her a flood of questions, but here her eye fell upon a broad red smudge upon my coat. In vain did I make light of the cut upon my shoulder, though in faith 'twas a shrewd wound and letting out more blood than I,liked; she would have my coat off instanter, and then with my dagger she cut open my shirt and very delicately bound up the wound with kerchief and scarf, bemoaning herself the while that she was the cause of it, and pouring out thanks for her rescue, and praise of my sword play till I felt myself flushing like a schoolboy. Indeed, so tender was the touch of her slim, soft fingers, so sweet the perfume of her, and so entrancing the sound of her slow, clear voice that I would willingly have had a dozen wounds for her to dress. And then was enacted anew the story which no man's lips are weary uttering, and of which no woman's ear shall tire. We sat down upon the steps that led to the door to wait for the morning light and sooth to tell I made hot love and she, at first protesting and shy of listening, came by degrees to hearken, and presently, as it grew chill, I put my coat upon her shoulders, and with my arm about her drew her close, the while I whispered in her ear. And then, all of a sudden, our love dreams were shattered in an instant. For there was a crash as the street door was battered down, and in poured a press of men with torches, Sir Anthony at their head, crying: "Rescue for Mistress Eleanor Fairfax! Death to her abductor!" And even as they came on, the door above us opened and down the steps came armed house servants, also with torches and lanterns. And then when all paused an instant to see what was coming next, the girl at my side broke out into hysterical laughter. "To think," she cried, "that I have fled for refuge to mine own house and knew it not." For it was even so, and the house servants clustered about her with hearty welcome and congratulation, while Sir Charles and his men stood astonished and hesitating. Then came my turn. "Sir Charles Anthony," I said, flinging my glove in his face. "I denounce you as the abductor of this maid, my childhood's playmate and the lady of my love. On guard!" Before the words were out of my mouth he lunged straight at my heart, and had I not been as quick, he had caught me unaware. But I was as quick as he, and in another instant our blades were clashing in the deadly music of steel upon steel. Nor was the issue long in doubt. With her eyes upon me I was as one inspired, and in a moment more my point drank deeply at his heart, and he fell face down on the stone flagging with a clatter. And then, before them all, Mistress Eleanor Fairfax put her white arms about my neck and lifted her lips for her first kiss. you watched him for a week you would probably see him approach the nest in precisely the same way each time. Now, here comes the mother—a lighter-colored bird, with gray on the back of her head. You see that she reaches the nest by quite a different route and alights upon the other side of it, and she will do this over and over again.

Interesting Associations of Revolutionary Times Recalled by Recent Rochambeau Event. On the visit of the distinguished party from France, to take part in the ceremony of unveiling the statue of Rochambeau, it was appropriate that Annapolis was selected as the point of debarkation. For it was from Annapolis that Count Rochambeau and suite sailed for France, after he had seen that independence had been secured, leaving in the French man-of-war, Le Esmerande, January 5, 1783, says the Washington Star. While there is no record that Rochambeau was at Annapolis for any considerable length of time, yet it is known that the French troops were quartered there for some time. When ordered to the Head of Elk, in March, 1781, they were further detained, by being blockaded by two British sloops of war. Lafayette was then in command, and contemplated a land march of ten days to the Elk, when by water but one day would be required. By sending out two small vessels, one armed, under Commodore Nicholson, the enemy was frightened off, and Lafayette was enabled to embark with his army. Subsequently the old town became the scene of much military activity owing to an expected attack by the British fleet. Several French war vessels lay off the town, and recruiting for the American army became active there. In August it became known that the British troops had been landed at Yorktown, and by the 28th a regiment (the Third Maryland) marched away to join the southern army; ten days after the Fourth Maryland following for the same destination. In September the army from the Head of Elk arrived by transport and landed and proceeded to Virginia, 4,000 French troops being included. It was at Annapolis on October 20 that the final victory of the revolution was first celebrated, Count de Grasse sending the news of Cornwallis' surrender to the governor by messenger. It was at Annapolis also that Washington resigned his commission to congress, that the treaty of peace was ratified and that other interesting events took place. The legislature of the state of 1784 in recognition of the services of Lafayette passed an act "that the Marquis de la Fayette and his heirs male forever, shall be, and they and each of them are hereby deemed, adjudged and taken to be natural born citizens of this state," etc. It was not only the French officers who were known at Annapolis, for Count Pulaski's legion of cavalry and infantry recruited partly in Maryland was organized there. Baron De Kalb, too, spent many months there and was in command of Maryland and Delaware troops when he received his death wounds at Camden, S. C., in 1780. His services are commemorated by a fine monument in Annapolis erected under an act of congress of 1883. Baron Steuben, the valued drill officer and inspector general, too, was often in the ancient capital and the last letter Washington wrote before resigning his commission was to him thanking him for his services. The baron became a citizen of the country and died near Utica, N. Y., some years after. George R. McKenzie, a sewing machine manufacturer, built two Presbyterian churches in Jersey City, and gave them to the congregations on the agreement that no musical instruments should ever be heard within their walls. The prohibition was fatal to both churches. The congregations dwindled down and down, and the last of them has just been closed because of nonsupport. IN OLD ANNAPOLIS. Music in Demand. NEW WAY TO STORE OIL Tanks Are Now Mere Excavations in the Earth in Texas Petroleum Fields. Down in Texas, where oil has been found in great abundance, a novel method of storage has been devised. The tanks with which those who bore for, ship and refine petroleum are most familiar are made of plates of steel, riveted together as in a steam boiler. Some of these are to be found in the Lone Star state, but a number of other tanks are mere excavations in the earth, says the New York Tribune. However, that does not tell the whole story, because the earth must be carefully selected. For one cannot prevent oil from soaking into the ground if the soil is sandy or porous, any more than one can keep water from doing so. Perhaps a good thick coating of Portland cement would make the reservoir tight, but the tanks in Texas are not thus lined. Sometimes there is a facing of boards, yet these are evidently not intended to prevent leakage directly. The one great essential is that a bed of good clay shall be found, to supply both an impervious bottom and walls. One of the biggest, as well as among the first, of these earthen reservoirs belongs to the German-American company, and is situated near a railway about a mile from the famous gushers on Spindle Top. To begin with, an excavation was made to a depth of seven feet, with almost vertical walls. Its length was 200 feet and the width 100 feet. Then, starting at a distance of eight feet from the edge, all the way around, an embankment was raised ten feet from the original surface of the ground. The inner face sloped away rapidly from the reservoir, receding horizontally two feet for every foot of rise. At its base this embankment was 40 feet thick. For the outer part any available earth was used. But the side toward the oil was composed of the best clay, carefully trowelled to render it compact. From the bottom of the reservoir to the top of the reservoir there is a vertical distance of 17 feet. As yet, apparently, the oil has not been allowed to rise to the top of the embankment. When the pipes from the wells were first permitted to discharge into the reservoir the oil accumulated to a depth of ten feet. This covered the lowermost three feet of the embankment. Operations were then suspended to observe results. Two or three small lakes were discovered. These have partially cured themselves, and nothing may be done to correct them. To promote the cleanliness of the oil, the latter is not permitted to come in contact with the bottom of the reservoir. Enough water is introduced to leave a layer of six inches thick between the petroleum and the earth. This particular reservoir has no timber lining. No cover is provided for it. A wooden roof would be inflammable and increase the risks, while exposure to the air facilitates the escape of certain sulphurous gases from the oil and improves its quality. It is said that a flaming board can be thrown into an open tank without setting fire to the oil. The blaze would be extinguished promptly. However, if the oil ever did take fire, it could do no harm to the reservoir. NOT IN THE SWIM. The Traveling Man Who Did Not Have Cheek Enough to Win a Girl. "They talk about the cheek of the men in this profession," said the drummer, in contemptuous tones, according to the Detroit Free Press, "but it's all nonsense, and I'm a living proof of it. I had a couple of weeks off in an Indiana town this spring, and I met and fell in love with as nice a girl as you ever saw. Her old dad was the big gun of the village and worth a barrel of money, and I have reason to believe that he sized up for my full value. "In the small towns the chief source of amusement is riding on the electric cars in the evening, and after a week I took my girl out for a trolley ride. By the great horn spoon, but I never saw so much spooning in all my life. Everybody seemed to be in love. Couples sat holding hands on every seat, and every young man with an arm had it around a girl's waist. It was a new sight to me, and I was so staggered that I sat up beside my girl like a bump on a log. I got to talking after a bit, but during that ride of eight miles and back I hardly touched the girl with my elbow. She grew silent as we returned, and only a word or two passed between us as I escorted her from the car to her father's gate. She did not ask me in, and of course I inquired in what way I had, offended her. 'You must know,' she replied. 'But I do not.' 'Then let me tell you that you made both of us objects of ridicule to the whole car.' "Good lands, but how?" "By not putting your arm around me or holding my hand. I took you for a gentleman, but I find I was mistaken, and I will therefore bid you good-night and good-by!" "I offered to repair my error," sighed the drummer, "assuring her at the same time that I would never, never be guilty of the like again, but she felt that she could never, never be the same to me as before, and so we parted forever. It makes me tired to think of it, but that has always been the way with me. Lack of cheek has prevented me from knowing a good thing when I had it."

There is a rapidly-growing opinion among both naval and army officers that submarine boats have not only come to stay, but are destined to produce almost as vast a change in naval architecture as that which followed the success of Eriesson's Monitor. Ensign Nelson, the expert in charge of the torpedo station at Port Royal, gave some remarkable testimony before the house committee on naval affairs. He declared that a submarine boat of the Holland type could drive an entire hostile fleet out of a harbor, because the enemy, if wise, would put out to sea to avoid attack which could not be prevented, because it would be delivered entirely out of sight. An attacking fleet would therefore be forced to keep out at sea under all circumstances, and could never approach the habor near enough to cover the landing of troops or to make effective use of small calibered guns against shore defenses. Ensign Nelson declared that battleships were all right in their places, and were worth all they cost, but he pronounced it a piece of great folly and useless extravagance to keep a battleship cooped up in a harbor, where half a dozen little torpedo boats would afford the same protection. The moral effect of a submarine boat, he declared, was even greater than its destructive ability. He gave it as his opinion that the United States should at once develop a fleet of submarine boats of the latest and best type, and his testimony, or rather his lecture, for such it was, had a great effect upon the members of the house committee. When the naval bill gets into the senate it is quite probable the appropriation for submarine boats will be largely increased, thus enabling the navy department to go into a new departure in naval architecture on a scale which will tend to put the navy of this country ahead of the sea force of all other nations, at least so far as the element of harbor defense is concerned. THE NORTH-WESTERN AND UNION PACIFIC NEW SCHEDULES TO DENVER. Only One Night En Route to Colorado from Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis and Chicago. A notable change has been made in the Colorado service of the Chicago & North-Western and Union Pacific Railways. The famous Colorado Special now leaves Chicago at 6.30 p. m., arriving at Omaha 6.55 a. m., Denver 8.00 p. m. and Colorado Springs 10.20 p. m. This enables passengers from Atlantic Coast points to reach Denver with only two nights on the road, while from Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Chicago only one night is required en route. The entire train will be run solid between Chicago and Denver, with through sleeper to Colorado Springs. East bound the train will be known as the "Chicago Special," and will leave Colorado Springs daily about 10.00 a. m., Denver 1.00 p. m., arriving in Chicago at 4.00 p. m., at a convenient hour for making connections for the east. A train from Des Moines in connection with this new train, east bound, enables passengers to leave Des Moines at 7.00 a.m. and arrive in Chicago at 4.00 p.m. Accommodations are provided for all classes of passengers, the equipment including free reclining chair cars, dining cars, buffet smoking cars, drawing-room sleepers and day coaches. The entire service is as nearly perfect as modern and skillful ailway management can make it. A second daily train for Colorado points leaves Chicago for Denver at 11:30 p.m. A New Bug.

The locust was served broiled, in a plain stew, and a milk stew, and also fried in batter. One enthusiastic bug-eater declared he much preferred fried cicadas to fried oysters or shrimps, but the consensus of opinion was that the 17-year locusts would never be regarded as a delicacy.
