HOW TO H Hatred and Anger. Ella W Interesting Facts--All W of Ignorance and M An acquaintance who believes he has enemies and that they lie about him, writes me he is on their track and he never rests until he has his revenge. "I am a good friend," he writes, "and a danger- ous foe; I have won the reputation of being a vindictive enemy." Then he closes his letter saying: "God help my traducers, once I locate them!" But I feel that my correspond- ent needs God's help as much as do his enemies. I would rather earn the reputation of idiocy than merit that of a vindictive enemy to the worst scoundrel on earth. I would rather suffer every injustice and ignominy that would be heaped upon a mortal than for one week to occupy my mind with a plan of vengeance. I would rather be hated by the whole world unjustly than to hate anyone for one year. I have known moments of hatred in my life, and they were the most terrible moments of my whole experience. There is no sorrow, no suffering, that can compare with the horrible sensation of bitter hatred. I recall three times when I was dominated by such emotions. Once in my childhood, when I received a punishment I know I did not merit. It was utterly useless for me to protest; the older person who administered the chastisement was blinded by unreasoning anger; and, small as I was, I knew that such anger meant a phase of insanity. I was punished, and humiliated in spirit, and in the flesh; and for a few moments I hated the person who dealt me the blows. The emotion, so new to me (for I was a notable loving and effectionate child) terrified me with myself. I was a grown woman before I again felt this ignoble sentiment. A street car conductor insisted that I had not paid my fare. I again told him I had paid it, and when; then he became insulting in his words and manner. The car was filled with passengers and I was mortified and enraged beyond expression. Had I been a man, I know my anger would have expressed itself in brute force. I remember on leaving the car that I was dim of vision and scarcely able to stand, so overwhelming was my rage. That very day I read of a tragedy that took place not two blocks from where my exprience had occured, and from a similar uncontrolled impulse of anger— one man killed another in a moment of sudden rage over a trifle. I understood so well how it had happened that it made me resolve to eliminate the possibility of emotional insanity (for that is what anger and hatred really are) from my nature. I began to try and, of course, when we try any reformation we always meet with tests of our strength. The test came when a man placed his name to a poem I had written, and after I made my protest, deliberately came out with a statement that the poem was his and that I had stolen it. The same overwhelming hatred which had seized me when subjected to the old injustice again dominated me. But I was older and able to take myself in hand and to realize that the only great evil in life is to lower our own moral standard and admit cruel impulses into our own hearts. So I substituted pity for hatred toward the wrongdoers of earth, after that experience. Not all at once; the mind must be trained to weed out its unworthy tendencies. We have much of the animal in our makeup, and the animal impulses naturally assert themselves. But we have the divine attributes we can exterminate whatever is undesirabe and cultivate whatever is worth while. One of the methods I adopted in this work of self-development was to think of every evil doer as a newborn infant. There is nothwhich appeals more to the tender side of one's nature than a helpless infant. So I imagine the man or woman who stirred me with anger or hatred as a baby in its mother's arms, and then as a little laughing child playing about the house. Each human being has passed through this period, and I know my mental picture was a true one. Invariably when I had brought t my culprit up to the age of 4 I found my bitterness and anger melting into pity for the innocent child who had, all unccnsconciously and by degrees degenerated into the malesactor. At this juncture it becomes possible to breathe from the heart and lips these immortal words: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." For in truth no sinner knows the full meaning of his acts, which must invariably reflect injury upon himself. Buddha and Christ both left their imperishable commandment to love their enemies; we all find this the hardest of commands to obey; but I found pity the next DENVER, COLORADO. SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1905. step to love, and it left hatred far in the distance. The succeeding part of the divine order (which both great Masters also gave), "Do good to those who despitefully use you," because easier after pity entered in; for to do a good turn to the person you pity is not so difficult as to put yourself out for one you despise. I do not think we are expected to be "chummy" and intimate with those we know are liars and mischief makers. We can keep them at a safe distance until, by our own well directed words, we change their attitude: And when an opportunity occurs to do them a favor which will help them to higher ground in any way. bestow it gladly. It means helping yourself to higher ground as well. The next step toward eliminating hatred for your enemies is to think of all humanity as a cloth of gold, woven from God's loom. It is all one piece if some do not gash and soil your portion to revenge yourself upon the malefactor who has despoiled his own. There is no evil doer on earth who set out in life deliberately desiring to be bad, or to make unhappiness in the world. All wrongdoing is the result of ignorance and misdirected thought. By ignorance I do not mean uneducation. Many of the worst people in history have been highly educated. Many illiterate people are angels of light on earth. But the ignorance of God's truth, the ignorance of the law of cause & effect, the ignorance which binds the mental vision to the eternal fact that honesty is the best policy and that nothing pays but being true to one's self—this is the ignorance which lies at the root of all wrongdoing. The bad man, the mean man, the jealous or malicious man, has always the ignorant point of view. He is spiritually shortsighted. And these people are to be pitied and helped up to the light. It cannot be done by retaliation and vindictive revenge. As Buddha said 50 years before Christ, "Hate can only be killed by love." However you are maligned and misused by another, you are only lowering your own standard and lessening the sum of morality in the world by planning vengeance. Defend yourself, of course, there is no real dignity in silently ignoring a falsehood; refute it, challenge the liar for proof. But after that, let him go his way and run his race. Live the truth so absolutely in your thoughts, words and deeds that you need do no more than deny a statement to be believed. That is the best possible revenge to plan for your lying enemies. When you think of them say mentally: "I am sorry for you, too, and you are ashamed, and you will make reparation. Peace and light and understand- ing of God's truth be yours." Say these words every night before you sleep for those you believe are wronging you or have wronged you. Peace be unto you is a great phrase. It is the very highest wish we can make for any one. To be at peace means to have an absolutely clear conscience and an awakened spirit and a broad understanding of God's ways and a large sympathy with all humanity. So when you wish your enemies peace and light you ask for what will make them your friends and their own saviors, if they open their hearts and receive. It is, of course, aggravating and irritating to have lies told about you. It mars the beautiful hours of life to know you have enemies who try to make trouble for you. But far worse than knowing you have enemies is the consciousness that you are eny man's enemy. So long as you can look your own soul in the eyes and say: "There is no being on God's earth I wish anything but good; there is no one I would not do a good turn if I had the opportunity," then you have nothing to fear, here or here-after. It is a greater achievement to be unable to keep your enemies than to be able to keep your friends. The moment you are an enemy you become your own worst foe. The moment you become a friend to your enemy he is disarmed and you are given a veritable armor which renders you invincible. When you have absolutely banished hatred from your heart and learned to control even the people of anger, you will know a joy that is indescribable. Your capacity to love will augment as your capacity to hate diminishes. In the midst of hellish records and disorders you will walk in a heaven of your own, yet a heaven all may enter who will seek it by the same door at which you knocked, and by giving the password, "Love." Envy, jealousy, hatred, malice, falsehood, will send their cruel shafts toward you in vain, for they will only make you sorry for them; they cannot bring you out of your heaven of pity and love to revenge yourself by their own methods. And that will be the most severe revenge you can bestow. Since I know not fear or hate What have I to fear, oh Fate? This is love's supreme decree, Only good can come to me, Love much.

RACE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges. Among the wealthy Negroes of Chicago Edward H.. Morris is said to be worth $300,000; Dr. O. J. Davis the dentist, $75,000; Robert T. Motts $150,000; Theodore W. Jones $50,000 and Mushmouth Johnson, the leading colored gambler, $200,000. Florence, S. C., June 23.—H. D. Granger, a local Baptist preacher, was shot from ambush and killed while working on a farm near here to-day. He lived in the district known as "the dead stretch" where Negroes are not welcome. It is believed death was due to the fact that he hired two Negroes to work on the farm. Jackson., Miss., June 25.—Benjamin Jones, a sexton was heavily fined in the police court yesterday for the crime of cursing a corpse. The subject of the picturesque display was the mortal remains of an aged Negro, Ned Hicks. As is customary, Benjamin Jones was sent for to take a measurement of the corpse, and he responded to the summons with alacrity. On arriving at the cabin the mourners were horrified to hear the sexton turn loose a stream of expletives that would have caused a South Sea pirate to hang his head in shame. Jones was arrested. In Police court he did not deny the offense, but pleaded that his son was conjured by Hicks and that "the old scoundrel" ought to have died years ago. NO. 41.

It seemed as though every one of tke 15,000 visitors, the eonserv- ative estimate of the arrivals up to last evening, ettended the meetings, so ‘great were the crowds and go con- tagious was their enthusiasm, ‘Trinity M. B. church was the scene of the largest gathering, presided over by Bishop Joseph F. Berry of Buffalo, New York. Governor Jesse F. McDon- ald made the address of welcome for the state, and United States District Attorney Earl M. Cranston, on behalf of the local Methodist churches. Coliseum hall was also well crowded when Rev. Stephen J. Harben, editor of the Epworth Herald, called the gath- ering to order. He presided in the ab- sence of Bishop Isaac W. Joyce of Min- neapolis, who is ill. Mayor Robert W. Speer gave the address of welcome on behalf of the city, while Halsted L.. Rit ter, chairman of the general conyention committee, welcomed the delegates in behalf of the local churches and organ- izations. } At Central Presbyterian church Rev. Melvin Taylor of Montreal presided, the address of welcome to the eity and state being delivered by Congressman Robert W. Bonynge. Bishop Henry W. Warren welcomed the visitors in behalf of the local Methodist churches. ‘The forenoon at all three mectings was given up to these addresses of welcome and appropriate responses by representatives of the Methodist Epis- copal Chureh, the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and the Methodist Church of Canada, the three divisions of Epworthians represented in the con- vention. Yesterday afternoon, the services at all three places of meeting were along the same line. The subjects of the ad- dresses were the same and the keynote of all was “Evangelize.” As characteristic with all gatherings of the Epworthians, the morning ser- vices opened with devotional exercises and the afternoon meetings were pre- ceded by song services, while music was a predominant feature at all times. It is a notable fact that Methodists are much given to song. When weary ot listening to speakers, when particu- larly Impressed, with something that has been said,’ someone suggests a song, and the audience joins in with a will. These bursts of song are among the principal and niost picturesque fea- tures of wae gatherings. g Besides the devotional exercises and the song services, the features of the evening meetings were addresses by prominent divines. At Trinity church the speaker was Rey. Mark Guy Pearse of London, England, one of the leaders of the Methodist orators of the British Isles. Bishop Eugene R. Hendrix of Kansas City was the speaker at Coliseum hall, while two addresses were given at the Central Presbyterian ehureh, one by Prof. A. C. Knudson of Meadville, Penn- sylvania, and the other by Rev. W. A. Quayle of Chicago. ‘The evening meetings were still more largely attended than those of the forenoon and afternoon, hundreds of Denyer people being added to the con: gregations. ‘The convention lasts until Sunday night, after which the delegates will scatter, excursions having been ar. ranged to nearly all parts of the state. Endeavorers at Saltimore, Baltimore, July 7.—The second day's session of the twenty-second interna- ‘tional ‘Christian Endeavorers’ conven- tion yesterday was presided over by the Rey. George B. Stewart of Auburn, New York. Wm. Shaw of Boston delivered an address upon “What Christian Endeay- ors Have Done.” Mrs. Kate L. Haus of St. Louts, fleld secretary of Misouri Christian Bn- deayors, spoke on the call for superin- tendents and was heartily applauded. “The Brotherhood of Christian Bn- deavor,” was the keynote of the two big meetings and the other in the Lyric. Both were largely attended. In the absence of the president, Rey. F. B. Clark, Rey. Ira Landrith, D, D,, president of Belmont College,’ Nash- ville, presided and introduced the many speakers from many lands, Telegraphic greetings were ex- changed with the Epworth League con- vention at Denver. Rey. Dr. George B. Stewart, prest- dent of Auburn Theological Seminary, presided over the exercises at the Lyric, at which 8,000 people were pres ent. hahah’ Soctaiiet Barred. Berlin, July 7.—Chancellor Von Bue- low telegraphed to Prince Radelin, the German ambassador at Paris, to-day, to inform M. Jaures, the French Social ist leader, that the German goyern- ment thought it best to dobar him from speaking in Berlin July 9th, as it had been announced he intended to do. ‘The chancellor's telegram to Prince Radelin was, in part, as follows: “The German Socialists would use the presence of Herr Jaures in Berlin to cover by his’ person their hostile endeavors against the state and na- tional interests.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY Curly Hair Made Straight By TAKEN FROM LIFE BEFORE ANNOUNCEMENT --- FUNERAL SERVICES OF SECRETARY HAY HELD IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND M. THE LATE SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN HAY. Cleveland, Ohio, July 6.—The body of John Hay was committed to its last resting place on a knoll in the beautiful Lakeview cemetery here at 12:05 o'clock yesterday afternoon. President Roosevelt, Vice President Fairbanks and the entire Cabinet, except Secretary of War Taft, stood with bowed heads at the graveside when the final honors were paid to the late secretary of state. Mrs. Hay and a small party of relatives and close friends stood on the opposite side of the grave. An enclosure had been built for the hundreds of floral tributes sent by the great and lowly from all quarters of the earth, and within this the final simple, touching and impressive scene in the career of John Hay was enacted. A male quartet sang "Beyond the THE LATE SECRETARY Smiling and the Weeping" as the casket was slowly lowered into the grave, President Roosevelt, his features pale and drawn, stood with his eyes fixed upon the casket until it had disappeared from view; then, with a sad shake of his head, he turned from the spot and leaning on the arm of Vice President Fairbanks, he was escorted to his carriage. Responding to the thanks of a representative of Mrs. Hay for his presence at the funeral, the President said yesterday: "I could not for any reason have missed the opportunity of attending the funeral of one who was not only my official companion, but my very dear friend, and one to whom I had looked for advice from boyhood." An immense crowd gathered in front of the Chamber of Commerce, where, since its arrival from New Hampshire, the body had lain in a Portland, Ore., July 6.—The National Woman Suffrage Association brought its meetings to a close yesterday after one of the busiest sessions of the convention. A vast number of resolutions and reports were attended to and an address was given by Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch of Chicago in the afternoon. Dr. Hirsch made a forceful argument for woman's suffrage, showing the anomaly of trusting the training of our future citizens to women teachers and refusing these teachers themselves the highest privilege of citizenship. The great reforms of the day, he said, are in the hands of women, who are not allowed to vote on them when they come before the people for settlement. This the speaker pronounced an outrage on women and a loss to the country. Mrs. Florence Kelley, in her report on "Industrial Problems Affecting Women and Children," yesterday made the strong point that the weakness of the suffrage movement has been that it has not enlisted the active support of the working men, and urged that the two great forces join hands to work for the protection of women and children bread-winners and for women suffrage through which this can be obtained. Dunne's Street Railway Plan. Chicago, July 6.—Mayor Dunne told the City Council last night his plans for municipal ownership of traction properties. The plan provides for the incorporation of a company, managed by five men, who command the confidence of the people of Chicago. To this company is to be granted a twenty-year franchise covering the streets in which the rights of the old companies already have expired or soon will expire. It is to be stocked to the amount necessary to establish a street car system in these streets, roughly estimated at 240 miles. No bonds are to be sold. The stock is to be deposited with a trust company which the five directors are to select, so as to prevent a purchase of it and consequent control by outside interests. The stock is to be sold at popular subscription. At any time the city may elect it can take over the property on an appraised valuation. --- closed casket, flag-draped and surrounded by the floral tributes from kings and commoners. Great crowds lined the streets throughout the four miles covered by the funeral procession from the chamber to the cemetery, and on the heights overlooking the grave another throng, with uncovered heads, silently watched the last sad act of all. Practically the entire official family of the government was at the grave, Dressed in black and showing in their faces the grief they felt, came the members of the Cabinet, excepting Secretary Taft. In addition to these were Former Secretary Root, ex-Secretary Paul Morton, ex-Postmaster General Smith, former Attorney General Knox and Dr. Rixey. Former Secretary of the Treasury Gage and Robert T. Lincoln arrived on an earlier OF STATE JOHN HAY. train and they, too, joined the party at the station. There was a big crowd present at the station and with solemn tread the distinguished party, representing the flower of the dignity and authority in the United States, proceeded to the street. Troop A of Cleveland acted as honorary escort to the President. Though the day was warm, the President elected to ride in a closed carriage, and through the streets to the Chamber of Commerce the procession drove slowly, the crowds standing by respectfully until the last carriage had passed. All business was temporarily suspended and the city gave itself up to the last melancholy tribute to greatness. Flags were half-masted everywhere and great streamers of black hung from the fronts of many of the buildings. The sky was cloudless and a brilliant sun shone throughout the day. Christian Endeavor Convention. Baltimore, July 6.—The formal opening of the twenty-second International Christian Endeavor convention took place yesterday afternoon in Armory hall, with about 8,000 delegates present and nearly all of the 16,000 seats in the vast auditorium occupied. In the absence of President Francis E. Clark, who is detained at home by illness, Rev. Howard B. Grosse of New York presided. Treasurer Shaw of the united society read a letter from President Roosevelt, in which the latter expressed regret at not being able to address the convention, but sent greetings, closing with the following words: "To make better citizens, to lift up the standard of American manhood and womanhood, is to do the greatest service to the country. The stability of this government depends upon the individual character of its citizenship. No more important work can be done, important to the cause of Christianity, as well as to our national life and greatness." A brief memorial service for John Hay was held. The governor of Maryland and mayor or Baltimore delivered addresses of welcome. Twenty thousand attended the night meeting in the armory. Tornado in Texas Montague, Texas, July 6.—Nine people are dead as a result of a tornado that passed over Montague yesterday afternoon. They are: A. P. Earl; Miss Sadie Earl, daughter of A. P. Earl; baby of Lawrence Pillow; Tomlinson family, consisting of husband, wife and four children. Fatally injured: Claiborne White, forty-five years old. Houses totally demolished: J. F. Clark's drug store, D. Y. Lunn's grocery store and offices, old bank building, occupied by G. L. Alcorn, real estate agent; store of Rowe Hardware Company; fifteen dwellings. The tornado lasted perhaps thirty minutes. Hundreds of head of stock in this vicinity were killed outright by the wind. The number of injured is unknown. Sure Sign of Peace: St. Petersburg, July 6.—Japan has another proof that Russia has decided on peace in the abandonment of further mobilization in St. Petersburg and other districts, where in spite of the deplorable internal situation such a step would not have been taken if the government serio-sly contemplated a continuation of the war.

How many people who are always ready to refer to a po- litical organization in contemp- teous tones us a machine or the gang, ete , know or care anything about the means and methods pro- vided for paying such debts? How many of them investigate and really know whether or not the public servants they condem are doing right or wrong? This scheme of self-government is not an easy one. Some one or some. body must know all these things and look after public affairs What scheme would the objectors referred to substitute for our pres- ent system of governing through political parties? The railroud question in Colo- rado will be solved by the Repub. Tican party. If a commission with rate-making power is the remedy it will be supplied, but with due regard for the rights of both sides. The caution uttered by the President in the following words at Denver will not be oyer. looked: “We must make up our minds that nothing but harm will come from any scheme to exercise such supervision, as that I advocate over corporations, and especially over the common carriers, unless we have it firmly fixed in om minds that the scheme is to be orie of substantial justice alike tc to the common carrier and the public.” The CoLoravo » Sraresman heartily welcomes the many dele- gates and visitors to our city and state who are here attendigg ‘the Epworth League convention.

KNEW ONLY ONE BAR. Convivias Irishman’s Misunderstanding Quite Natural. A Cincinnati man was describing the dinuer in London that admitted Joseph H, Choate to the society of the Old Benchers of the Inner Temple. “Mr. Choate was in his best mood,” he said. “With epigrams, witticisms, and anecdotes he kept the table in a continuous roar. “Perhaps he made his most telling impression with a story about an im- poverished young Irish gentleman, the Honorable Denis Bellew. “He said that Mr. Bellew, driven forth by poverty from his father’s es: tate, went to London to seek his for- tune. “He had been a gay, convivial blade, and in the little home village he was missed. There was not a poacher nor a roisterer within ten miles that hadn't a soft spot for Denis in his heart. ‘Word one day passed about that up at the castle news had been received of Dents, The village at once became excited, and a deputation of a half doz- en or s0 was soon on, its way to see the old lord. “My lord,’ said the spokesman, ‘in it true ye've gotten news 0’ yer sop Denis?” “‘Aye, true enough. News at last, boys,’ sald his lordship. ‘“‘Paith, then, an’ phwat might the bhoy be doin’ up in London?’ was the next question. “‘He has been called to the par, tho lord answered proudly. “The deputation looked at one an: other, for the phrase was new to them. Finally, in a loud whisper, ene sald: “Oi don't know what thot manes; but from what Oi remember of the bhoy, he didn’t want no callin’! "— Pittsburg Gazette. The Age of Pretense. Pretense is one of the fashions of the time, Pretense is becoming so perfected and so general that if a per- son should put off all pretense he would run the risk of being charged with affectation. Next to having, the best thing now- adays is seeming to have. There is really some foundation in reason for thts kind of pretense, since it has be- come the fashion of the world to measure a man’s success in life by the dollars he has made. Here is a cable message which tells of a new phrase of pretense: “Paris—The existence of a new and curious business in Paris has just transpired. This is the hiring out of wedding presents to brides, so that they may impress their friends and their acquaintances with the number and value of their gifts. Jewelry, lace, furs, etc., are lent out for 2. con- sideration, and after they have served their purpose and been duly chront. cjed in the newspapers they are re turned to the owners. It appears’thal a well-known Paris jeweler does Intge business of this nature.”—Wash iogton Star. ' Queer Precte of Love. Mme, Myriam Harry, the Parisian noyelist who has traveled about the world a good deal, tells what evi- dences of affection are prized by men and women in different countries. In Jerusalem she once met a young Arab woman who had not a tooth left in her head. Mme. Harry’s native ser- vant said; “Lucky woman; her hus. band knocked all her teeth out. He does love her.” In Cochin China Mme. Harry was told that there a husband was not believed to love his wife properly until he had made a present to her of a coffin. In Galicia, among the sect of masochists, a man values his wife’s affection by the de- grees of suffering which she causes bim to endure. Mme. Harry there ence heard a betrothed youth say to his affanced bride: “If you really loved me you would consent to bind me and flog me with this whip.” At Stockholm one of Mme. Harry's friends is now suing her husband for divorce on the ground that “he does not love her soulfully.” eesti whin Datetnt. A resident of Ava, N. Y., was talk- {ng about the late Hiram cronk, the last survivor of the war of 1812. “At the age of 100,” said the Ava man, “Mr. Cronk still had an alert mind. Above all things he was a pa- triot. He believed firmly in the su- premacy of our republic, “An English traveler, out of curios: ity, came to Ava to see Mr. Cronk one slay. The old patriot praised America extravagantly and condemned Eng. land as an outworn. and dying nation. “The Englishman stoct’ this tall as long ag he could.

The Persian shah was besieging Tiflis and the hus- band of the Princess Salome had been slain in the siege. When the Per- sitns entered afd sacked the town Salome triod to save her young son, buc he was torn from her arms and hacked to pieces before her eyes. Her own life was spared and she was borne to the camp outside the walls of Tiflis to the shah, He sold her to Djafar Bek, who shut her up in a castle—a part of which still remains —near where {s now the lovely trop!- cal botanical garden of Tiflis, Charmed by her beauty, he asked her to become his wife. She refused, and begged. her purchaser, to. slay. her. ‘The Persian gave her a night to re- ‘consider the matter and on the next day he lay reclining on a great cushion under @ tree on that hot, sunny hill side and awalted her’ answer. Bres- ently she appeared before him, yelled in a long, pure white robe, calm and ‘atately, her face deathly pale, She ‘advanced, her armed jailers following her. ‘The Persian waved his follow. ers aside and asked the princess: “You consent to be my wife?" “Yes,” was the solemn answer. “I consent to love you, for after the death of my husband and son it is my destiny; there is no other fate for me. “In Georgia,” said the princess, “there are certain families that pos sess strange powers and dark secrets. My mother foretold I should be the wife of a Djatar, and from my mother I, too, receive these powers to reac the future.” The Persian was im pressed by her manner and her pres ence. She saw her power. “Give m¢ your hand,” she said. “Let me rea¢ there if I shall have long years of happiness with you.” He held fortt his hand. She held it until it slightly trembled in her fingers. Then she burst forth with a cry of horror, “Oh my master, knowest thou that death ‘awaits thee? Perchance this yer} “night.” Djafar Bek trembled now “Thou wilt die by the hand of a mar thou hast this day offended.” “Is i by Assa Dhoulla Bek.” he usked. “We quarreled today, and about you. He would have bought you.” “Oh, m master,” exclaimed Salome, “to save thee I must have some object upor which he has looked to-day, then | can ayert this evil and make his arms useless against thee." “What! You can do this?” exelatme¢ Djafar, incredulously. “Most certain | ly.. Give me your dagger. He drew it and handed it to her. She held i up and, looking up to the blue heay ens above, murmured a prayer; then handing it back to him, said: “Now } 1s useless; it can slay no one.” Hi looked at her unbellevingly. “Try it, she exclaimed. “Strike here!” He struck the blow where her finger rest ed full upon her heart; the keen blad went swiftly home and she fell at hi feet, exclaiming, “O God, recelye m: oul!” Then she lay dead.

His employer was lenient, but when Peter turned up after having been absent for a couple of days without leave, he dis- charged him. But Peter did not take his discharge seriously, and went back to work as usual. Again he went on & spree, and again he was discharged and taken back. These little esca- pades had been repeated four or five times within a couple of years, when Peter walked into the shop one morn- ing looking much the worse for his celebration. “See bere,” sald the em- ployer, “you are. discharged.” “Look here,” sald Peter, “I am tired of this.

A recent press dispatch from New York City says: Births in this city at the rate of one ever five minutes are recorded by the health department for the past week, during which period 2.011 were reported. It was announced at the department that the birth rate of New York has risen to about 31 per 1,000, and is higher than any other city in the United States. Five or six years ago, when there was so much talk about race suicide, the birth rate here was only 26 per 1,000. Last year the rate was 30 per 1,000. The prospect is now that in 1906 it will be 32. Long in Building. At Troyes, in France, last month, was solemnly dedicated a church which has taken sixteen centuries to build, for it was begun in the third century and was completed but recently. This is St. Urban's church, built by order of Pope Urbanus IV., on the site of the house in which he was born. Only the foundations were laid during Pope Urbanus' lifetime and though the building has long been consecrated, the last remaining stones were laid this year. The church is a gem of Gothic architecture. Proved Beyond a Doubt. Middlesex, N. Y., July 3.—(Special) —That Rheumatism can be cured has been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs. Betsey A. Clawson, well known here. That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad, all her acquaintances know. They also know she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her cure as follows: "I was an invalid for most five years caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism, helpless two-thirds of the time. The first year I could not do as much as a baby could do, then I rallied a little bit and then a relapse. Then a year ago the gout set in my hands and feet. I suffered untold agony and in August, 1903, when my husband died I could not ride to the grave. "I only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in two weeks I could wait on myself and saw my own wood. I dug my own potatoes and gathered my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me." Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put the Kidneys in shape to take all the uric acid out of the blood. Drum Is Drummed Out. M. Maurice Berteax, the minister of war, intends to suppress drums in the French army. The decision meets the support of such eminent military authorities as General Faure-Bibuet, former military governor of Paris, who says drummers are useless in battle, since they carry only revolvers, whereas buglers are armed with rifles, which they can use in a fray. He adds that the drum, in modern armies, is an anachronism and should be abolished. In spite of the sentimental pang its disappearance may cause, it is interesting to recall how much the late General Boulanger's popularity arose from his re-establishing the use of the drum, which a preceding minister of war had abolished. Heroine to Be Educated. An Asheville, North Carolina, dispatch says that for saving the lives of a score of passengers and preventing a wreck by flagging a train with her red petticoat, Nannie Gibson, eleven years old, a bare-footed mountain girl, has received a reward from the Southern railway, and it is just what Nannie had said that she wanted most, an education. She has received a letter from the company, agreeing to give her a college education and to see that she is well provided for. Nannie lives in a little mountain hht with her father and mother in the Black mountains. A big slide occurred on the mountain while she was at home alone. She ran down the railroad track, waving her red petticoat. A heavy train was stopped by her ten feet from where the mountain had caved in. Below was an abyss several thousand feet deep. IN COLONEL'S TOWN Things Happen. From the home of the famous "Keyhnel Keeyartah of Cartersville," away down South, comes an enthusiastic letter about Postum: "I was in very delicate health, suffering from indigestion and a nervous trouble so severe that I could hardly sleep. The doctor ordered me to discontinue the use of the old kind of coffee, which was like poison to me, producing such extreme disturbance that I could not control myself. But such was my love for it that I could not get my own consent to give it up for some time, and continued to suffer, till my father one day brought home a package of Postum Food Coffee. "I had the new food drink carefully prepared according to directions, and gave it a fair trial. It proved to have a rich flavor and made a healthy, wholesome and delightful drink. To my taste the addition of cream greatly improves it. "My health began to improve as soon as the drug effect of the old coffee was removed and the Postum Coffee had time to make its influence felt. My nervous troubles were speedily relieved and the sleep the old coffee drove from my pillow always came to soothe and strengthen me after I had drunk Postum—in a very short time I began to sleep better than I had for years before. I have now used Postum Coffee for several years and like it better and find it more beneficial than when I first began. It is an unspeakable joy to be relieved of the old distress and sickness." Nume given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in each pkg. CORNFORTHISDEPOSED PARKS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Denver, July 5.—Senator Fred W. Parks of Denver county is declared by the Supreme Court to be the lawful acting lieutenant governor of the state of Colorado. Justice Gunter wrote the opinion, the entire court concurring. After reciting the facts that Senator Cornforth was president pro tem of the Senate, assumed the office of lieutenant governor when Mr. McDonald became governor; that his term of office expires in December, 1906; that Senator Parks was elected president pro tem on April 3d, the court says: "The only controversy is that respondent as president pro tem, at the time the powers and duties of governor, through the resignation of Governor Peabody, devolved upon Lieutenant Governor McDonald, was entitled to perform the duties of lieutenant governor, the question is whether such right ended with the election of relator as president pro tem." Mr. Parks contended that whenever the term of officer as president of the Senate expires, the duties pass to his successor. Mr. Cornforth contended that the holder of the office of president pro tem, at the time the lieutenant governor becomes governor is legally invested with the office of lieutenant governor. The court holds that the questions are settled by the following constitutional clauses, Article IV., Section 13; Article IV., Section 14, and Article IV., Section 10. Opinions in other states bearing on the case are cited at length. The opinion brushed aside as unimportant the fact that Senator Cornforth has been recognized by certain officers as the acting lieutenant governor, because such recognition can have no bearing on the constitutional question involved. Passing upon the contention that certain acts of Senator Cornforth, such as signing bills, should be taken into account, the court held in the following language: "No act of the relator could compel us to declare respondent lieutenant governor de jure when under the constitution he is not so." A judgment was entered enjoining Senator Cornforth from performing the duties of the office and declaring Senator Parks entitled as president pro tem. of the Senate to perform such duties. Under the opinion, there is no such office as lieutenant governor de jure, but Fred W. Parks as president pro tem. of the Senate will perform the duties of the office. Assistant Attorney General Ramsey, acting for Senator Cornforth, asked leave to file a petition for a rehearing. The petition was granted, but the court stated that owing to the importance of the case it would cut short the time. The petitioner was given until Thursday to make the filing, and Senator Parks must reply the next day. The court will rule on the motion next Monday. GUANAJUATO FLOOD. Five Hundred Swept to Death in Mexican City. Guanajuato, Mexico, July 4.—Five hundred persons have perished and property valued at $1,500,000 has been destroyed as a result of a flood which has swept over the town, following a cloudburst. Two hundred bodies have been recovered. The present storm, which began Friday night and continued through Saturday, was unprecedented in violence. By 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon clouds banked up black and threatening in the northeast, and within less than twenty minutes rain came down in torrents and the water surged down the streets with great violence. Part of the river, which was built over with masonry, burst through, augmenting the flood, and the scene became one of terror and consternation. The people made haste to gather their valuables and flee and many did so at the risk of their lives, for the streets in the lower part of the city were filled with rushing waters and the roar of wind and rain added to the general panic. With one rush the mightly flood burst its bonds, foundations of solidly built masonry and houses being undermined and many buildings fell with a crash. Their inmates in many cases were crushed beneath the falling masonry. From the center of the city the flood rolled to both sides of the town and the people rushed out to flee to the mountains. Each man fought his way out of the flood, trampling down who ever came in his way, and thus many women and children perished. A large number of people had sought refuge in the church of San Diego, but were crushed to death under its falling wails. A priest who was addressing words of hope and copolation to the people was killed. Susan B. Anthony Re-elected. Portland, July 5.—The National Woman Suffrage Association yesterday unanimously re-elected the old officers with the exception of vice presidents at large and second auditor.

Gordon, Louisiana; recording secretary, Alice Stone Blackwell, Massachusetts; treasurer, Harriet Taylor Upton, Ohio; first auditor, Laura Clay, Kentucky; second auditor, Dr. Annie Jeffreys Meyers, Portland. How to Avoid Lockjaw. New York, July 4. -Cleanse the wound from foreign substances, then after bleeding stops cover with a loose bandage saturated with an anti-septic solution. Do not attempt to cauterize the wound; send at once for the doctor. Watch the patient carefully for a week or more, as the period of incubation of the germ of tetanus is from five to fifteen days. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS The anti-cigarette law has gone into effect in Wisconsin. An electric storm at Elmira, New York, July 2d did damage to the amount of $150,000. Professor Curie, the discoverer of radium, has been elected a member of the French Academy of Science. Semi-official announcement is made that Buffalo's population, as revealed by the census just taken, is 378,500.

Miles, Hastings, Nebraska. The cruiser Charleston on her official trial run June 29th, made an average speed of 22.3 knots an hour. She exceeded her contract requirement by .03 knots. Senator Algor of Michigan has announced that owing to his poor health he will not be a candidate for re-election to the Senate when his present term expires in 1907. For the year just closed it is approximated that 30,000,000 pieces of registered mail were handled in the United States, an increase of 100 per cent. over four years ago. Second Assistant Secretary of State Adee, after a bicycling tour of France, sailed for New York from Havre July 1st on the La Savoie to resume his duties at the State Department. The sanitation of Panama is improving, the number of deaths for June being twenty-five per cent. less than that recorded for May, though June is considered the worst month of the year. The recent heated spell in Europe has caused, it is estimated from the reports now coming in, more than 100 deaths in Germany. In some places leaves on the trees have dried and fallen. The American revivalists, Rev. Reuben A. Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, have concluded their five months' revival campaign in England. Fourteen thousand converts were made. At a conference of the executive committee of the civic federation it was decided to hold a national conference in New York City on September 26th and 27th to discuss the question of immigration. Confirmation has been received at Cape Town of Chief Marengo's reported victory over the Germans at Karasberg, German Southwest Africa, June 22d. It is said that 100 Germans were killed. Surgeon Raymond Speer of the navy has been ordered to Manchuria for special duty in connection with the naval, medical and sanitary features of the Russo-Japanese war, studying the hygiene of camp life. The monthly circulation statement, issued July 1st, shows that at the close of business June 30, 1905, the total circulation of national bank notes was $495,719,806, an increase for the year of $46,484,711. The executive committee of the supreme council of the Royal Arcanum announces that it has no power to alter the new schedule of rates. The increase was an absolute and immediate necessity, they say. The German Automobile Club has voted to hold an international automobile race in 1906 provided the German government consents. The course was left undetermined upon, but it is expected to be at Homburg. Statistics of the port of Boston at the close of the fiscal year to-day shows that the immigration record has been broken with 66,646 immigrants, which exceeds the greatest previous record, two years ago, of 65,850. The imposing tower of St. Catherine's church, at Dantzic, Germany, built from 1326 to 1330, was entirely destroyed by lightning July 3d. Some of the thirty-five musical bells composing the chimes, which were cast in 1634, were melted. A telegram from Steinkopf, German southwest Africa, says that Petrus Christian, the insurgent leader, recently ambushed the German force commanded by Major Von Kamptz at Karasbern, killing fifteen and wounding twenty-six Germans. Henry Seymour of Wantage, Long Island, unarmed and apparently harmless, was arrested at Sagamore hill a few days ago while making repeated and persistent efforts to see President Roosevelt. He was released on promising to leave town at once. The Norwegian war department says there is positively no truth in the reports published in Stockholm to the effect that Norway is arming for a conflict with Sweden. The Norwegian troops, it is explained, are merely undergoing their usual practice drill. The official call of the National Irrigation Congress, which is to meet in Portland, Oregon, from August 21st to 24th, has been issued. The invitation is directed to all interested in the subject of irrigation and the reclamation of arid lands within the United States.

THE MONTHLY TRIAL HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING-DOWN PAINS. A Woman Tells How She Has Become Well and Strong after Years of Misery Due to Irregular Functions. The fact that one woman is bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheerful, while another is pale, weak and depressed, is due more often than otherwise to the regularity in the one case and the irregularity in the other of the functions that are peculiar to the sex. When these are disturbed everything goes wrong; pain and discomfort are felt all over the body; the sensations are often terrifying. "For four years." said Mrs. Davis recently, "I suffered indescribable misery from sick headache every month, accompanied by fainting spells, shortness of breath and severe pain in my left side. There were also bearing-down pains, at times so acute that I could not stand up, and my head was full of ringing sounds. It seemed as if everything was going to hit me in the eyes. I was compelled to lie down with closed eyes for hours to get a little relief. When I attempted to arise everything would whirl around and it would grow so dark that I could scarcely see my object." "Couldn't your doctor help you?" "Five doctors in all treated me, but I got no lasting benefit. Besides I used a lot of advertised remedies. The only medicine, however, that had the desired effect was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they are truly a godsend to women. I did not have much faith in them when I began to take them. I found myself, however, so much better after using two boxes that I began to believe in them. They checked right away the decline into which I was going. My troubles kept lessening and finally disappeared altogether." "How long did it take for a cure?" "After I had used several boxes my health was all right. I had taken on flesh and was strong and hearty. I feel today in spirits more like a girl of sixteen than a woman of my years." Mrs. C. H. Davis' address is Carmel, Maine, R. F. D., No. 2. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, are confidently offered to women for the cure of anemia, chlorosis, painful and irregular periods, and all forms of weakness. They are sold by every druggist. Goodness gracious! what are you going to take those crazy quilts? I would start an asylum. They'd be all right in bedlam. Profits of the Packers. There has been a great deal of disappointment because the Garfield report shows that the profits of the packing industry only amount to about two per cent of the volume of business transacted. There is no doubt, however, that the report is correct. The census reports compiled by the government in 1900, before the agitation regarding the "beef trust" began, throw considerable light on this question. It appears from the census that the packing industry is conducted on a smaller margin of gross profit than any other industry in America. The gross margin of profit of 871 flour and grist mills in Illinois, in the census year, was nearly seven per cent on the volume of business. The gross margin of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and meat packing establishments in Illinois was only about one-third as large, or a little more than two per cent on the volume of business. The millers have not been accused of being in a "trust," and combinations would seem impossible in a business where there are several thousand mills in the United States competing actively for the flour trade, but it appears that the gross profits of the millers are larger than the gross profits of the packers. It may turn out that the agitation regarding the packing industry will show the same result as the devil found in shearing the pig: "All squelal and no wool." - American Homestead.

She Has Guided Thousands to Health.—How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Cured Mrs. Fred Seydel. It is a great satisfaction for a woman to feel that she can write to another telling her the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that her letter will be seen by a woman only, a woman full of sympathy for her Mrs. F. Seydel It is a great satisfaction for a woman to feel, that she can write to another telling her the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that her letter will be seen by a woman only, a woman full of sympathy for her sick sisters, and above all, a woman who has had more experience in treating female ills than any living person. Over one hundred thousand cases of female diseases come before Mrs. Pinkham every year, some personally, others by mail, and this has been going on for twenty years, day after day. Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such experience, especially when it is absolutely free. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the confidence of women, and every testimonial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as they have been. Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North 54th Street, West Philadelphia, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham;— "Over a year ago I wrote you a letter asking advice, as I had female ills and could not carry a child to maturity. I received your kind letter of instructions and followed your advice. I am not only a well woman in conformation, but beautiful baby girl. I wish every suffering woman in the land would write you for advice, as you have done so much for me." Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills. No other medicine in all the world has such a record of cures of female troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Therefore no prudent woman will accept any substitute which a druggist may offer. If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for special advice.

Total Products of the Soil Reach an Enormous Sum. The farmers of the United States are our greatest benefactors. In 1904, for example, our farm products were worth in the aggregate $4,900,000,000, an increase of 31.2 per cent over 1899. The sum is three times the gross earnings of all our railways and six times are amount of the capital stock of all the national banks. The corn crop would pay the national debt. Next to corn comes cotton, worth this year 300,000,000, while hay and wheat to either about equal the value of corn. The rice crop reaches nearly 1,000,000, 000 pounds, being 200,000,000 pounds more than ever before. The secretary of agriculture becomes impressive, however, when he tells us that the patriotic hens of the country in one month lay eggs enough to pay a year's interest on the public debt. The farmer is said to be prospering this year beyond the record. To prove this the secretary shows that in the three distinctively agricultural states of Iowa, Kansas and Mississippi the deposits in all kinds of banks increased in the eight years from June 30, 1896, to October 31, 1904, by, respectively 164, 215 and 301 per cent. During the same period the deposits in all banks of the United States as a whole increased by 91 per cent.—Baltimore Sun. Little Girls' Hard Lot in China. After the marriage, girls have no part with their own family, and no part in the worship of their ancestors. To have no son means no ancestral worship, and the girl is often sold as a daughter-in-law. Poor people buy their sons' wives when they are but babies, as they can be had then for two Mexican dollars—about one dollar and seventy-five cents in our money. These little ones are usually drudges in the mother-in-law's household. A missionary tells this story. She heard two women conversing in her house—one the mother of five sons and the wife of the leading scholar in Kuangwang. One said: "I am going to get my daughter-in-law into the house; you see a daughter-in-law is no more expense than a servant; if I curse or beat a servant she leaves, but you can beat a daughter-in-law and get obedience and your work will be done as you wish it." The other replied: "Just so, just so. I am thinking of getting a daughter-in-law, too. I can then live at case." As a consequence of this custom, little girls look forward not to betrothal nor to marriage, but to becoming mothers-in-law, when they in turn can have authority. Good Housekeeping. Time to Rise.

Justifies His Attitude Toward Norway —Will Permit No Member of His Family to Ascend Norwegian Throne. Stockholm, July 5.—King Oscar granted a private audience to the correspondent of the Associated Press at the imperial palace yesterday. In a lengthy conversation his majesty expressed his views on the present situation and said emphatically that he would never allow any of his sons or his grandsons to accept the Norwegian throne. In speaking of the attitude of Norway, the king displayed deep emotion and expressed his heart felt sorrow at Norway's treatment of him after forty-two years of unceasing labor for its happiness and prosperity. His majesty said he wished to convey through the Associated Press his gratitude for hundreds of expressions of sympathy received from the United States. In the course of the conversation King Oscar reiterated his official utterances regarding his position on the consular bill passed by the Storthing and the events which followed his veto of it, and said: "When the King of Norway considers that the welfare of the country demands that he shall veto a bill passed by the Storthing his right to do so is unconditionally shown in Norway's constitution, and he would be false to his oath if he did not exercise this right in accordance with his conscience. "The constitution gives the Storthing the power to pass a measure over my veto, prescribing, however, that this can only be done by the bill being passed by three consecutively elected Storthings. The consular bill was only passed by one Storthing. "As king of Norway it was of the utmost necessity that I should always keep before my eyes the first article of the constitution, which reads: The kingdom of Norway is a free, independent and inallienable country, united to Sweden under one king. Therefore it was imperative before approving a bill separating the consular systems of Sweden and Norway that I should consider the welfare and interests of both countries, and I had a perfect right as king of Norway to refuse my sanction. "The refusal of the Norwegian Cabinet to countersign my veto was inexcusable, as the constitution prescribes that the king may decide according to his judgment and that all his orders must be countersigned by the Cabinet. "Thus the Norwegian constitution, my own conscience and my consideration of the welfare of both kingdoms were the guide to my action in vetoting the consular bill." DENVER AUDITORIUM. City Can Build, But Bonds Already Voted Not Legal. Denver, July 4.—Denver has a right under its charter to issue bonds and build an auditorium, but the contention of Judge Hallett is correct that the thirty-year bonds proposed for that purpose by the city administration are illegal. This is the decision of the State Supreme Court in the auditorium case. Following a favorable vote of the citizens last year, Mayor Speer prepared to issue $400,000 worth of bonds for the purpose of building an auditorium in which great meetings could be held. Judge Moses Hallett, acting for the Clayton estate, fought the bond proposition in the District Court and secured a decision. There is a provision in the charter which says that municipal bonds shall be limited to fifteen years, and the ordinance providing for the proposed bonds reads that they should run from fifteen to thirty years. Justice Steele wrote the opinion and the entire court agreed upon the proposition that the proposed issue of bonds running thirty years would be illegal. On the point whether the building of an auditorium is a corporate purpose within the meaning of the law, four of the justices agree that it is and three dissent. A third proposition that the court passed upon was that the charter provision authorizing a vote on the bond issue was defective, as it conflicted with another provision of the charter. The court held that the charter will have to be amended and the question resubmitted to the people. Canon City Sanitarium. Denver, July 5.—A Canon City dispatch says: A sanitarium modeled after the well-known Battle Creek, Michigan, institution is practically assured for Canon City. The Atlas company in drilling for oil at a point two and a half miles east of the city some time ago struck a large flow of hot water containing iron, sulphur and soda, making it very valuable for bathing purposes and invalids. Dr. Pitt A. Wade of this city, who has been making a study of the sanitarium question for some years, has secured the well and twenty acres of ground adjacent thereto, on which he proposes to erect a $100,000 sanitarium. The citizens of Canon City to encourage the enterprise, will subscribe for $20,000. The remainder of the capital the doctor and his friends will furnish. Like the Battle Creek and Boulder, Colorado, sanitaries, which are conducted under the patronage of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, the Canon City institution will be conducted and financed by those people. Big Coal Combine. Pittsburg, July 5.—A combination of twenty-six coal companies of Indiana, controlling 29,000 acres of coal lands, has been formed here under the name of the Vandalia Coal Company.

Ogle of Indianapolis is president. SECRETARY OF STATE HON. ELIHU ROOT IS APPOINTED Accepts Portfolio to Succeed the Late John Hay—Sacrifices an Immense Law Practice. New York, July 7.—It can be definitely stated that President Roosevelt has offered the position of secretary of state to Elihu Root and that Mr. Root has accepted. Mr. Root boarded the President's special train at Jersey City just before it left for Cleveland Tuesday afternoon. All phases of the situation were considered carefully, but at that time Mr. Root did not indicate definitely that he would accept the portfolio. On the return journey their conference, interrupted by the mission on which they had gone to Cleveland, was resumed. A formal tender of the secretaryship of state was made to Mr. Root. His acceptance of the proffer announced in New York yesterday is believed to be without reservation at all. The following are some of the events in the life of the new secretary of state: 1845—Born at Clinton, New York. 1864—Graduated from Hamilton College. 1865—Taught at Rome Academy. 1867—Graduated from the University Law School College. 1883-5—United States attorney for the Southern district of New York. 1894—Delegate at-large to the state constitutional convention and chairman of the judiciary commission. 1899—Appointed secretary of war by President McKinley. 1901—Reappointed secretary of war by President Roosevelt. Reorganized the army and placed it upon a superior footing under the regulations of the Dick bill. 1903—Resigned as secretary of war and engaged in lucrative law practice in New York City, his fees said to aggregate more than a quarter of a million dollars annually. 1904—Served as member of the Alaska boundary commission. Was one of the recognized leaders of the Republican national campaign, his speech at the convention which nominated Roosevelt being taken as the keynote of the most positive campaign in the history of the party. 1905—Appointed by President Roosevelt as secretary of state in succession to John Hay. ADMIRAL PAUL JONES. Casket Formally Delivered by France to the United States. Paris, July 7.—In the presence of the highest dignitaries of France, the diplomatic representatives of many foreign governments and civil and naval officers of the United States, the body of Admiral Paul Jones was yesterday formally delivered to the United States government. The ceremony was one combining impressive dignity with brilliant military and naval pomp in which the soldiers and sailors of France and sailors of America united in doing honors to the Honorious founder of the American navy. The occasion was unique and probably without parallel, as the funeral was that of a revolutionary hero who had lain neglected in a foreign grave for over a hundred years. The ceremony of delivering the body was in the American church on the Avenue De La Alma at 3:30 in the afternoon. The French government had taken charge of the arrangements and hussiers of the foreign office, wearing impressive silver chains, acted as ushers. At the right of the altar sat Ambassador McCormick, Senior Special Ambassador Porter, Junior Special Ambassador Loomis, United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Rear Admiral Sigsbee and other officers of the American squadron. Across the aisle sat Premier Rouvier with other members of his Cabinet, practically the entire diplomatic corps, and officers of the army and navy. The members of the diplomatic corps were in full uniform. Scores of American sailors in the naves on either side of the altar gave a fitting background to the imposing scene. After brief religious services General Porter, with the red sack of the grand cross of the Legion of Honor across his breast, advanced alongside the casket and formally delivered the body to Mr. Loomis as the representative of the United States government, who accepted it in the name of the government and commanded Admiral Sigbee to transport it to the United States. As the surplaced choir took up "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," the entire assembly rose and joined in the strains of the patriotic hymn. Eight brawny sailors from the Brooklyn then stepped forward, and raising the casket on their shoulders, bore it slowly from the church to the waiting gun carriage. This was draped with the national colors and was drawn by six black horses. Heading the procession, came a squadron of cuirassiers, stretching from curb to curb, with a division of infantry under General Frey. After them rumbled the gun eaison bearing the flower-laden coffin, with guards of American sailors on either side. Back of the coffin was a long line of distinguished officials, headed by Ambassador McCormick, Special Ambassadors Porter and Loomis, Premier Rouvier and his Cabinet, the foreign ambassadors and French generals and admirals, all walking, according to the French custom. Arriving at the Esplanade Des Invalides, an imposing picture was presented. The French government had erected a large pavilion in which to deposit the coffin. The casket was deposited in the center of the pavilion, while the cortege passed, rendering military honors. Later it was borne to the invalides railroad station and placed in a funeral car, where, guarded by French and American sailors, it started for Cherbourg at 10 o'clock last night. Many a man wastes enough perspirant powder for dimes to earn ten times as many dollars. Conviction Follows Trial When buying loose coffee or anything your grocer happens to have in his bin, how do you know what you are getting? Some queer stories about coffee that is sold in bulk, could be told, if the people who handle it (grocers), cared to speak out. Could any amount of mere talk have persuaded millions of housekeepers to use Lion Coffee, the leader of all package coffees for over a quarter of a century, if they had not found it superior to all other brands in Purity, Strength, Flavor and Uniformity? This popular success of LION COFFEE can be due only to inherent merit. There is no stronger proof of merit than continued and increasing popularity. If the verdict of MILLIONS OF HOUSEKEEPERS does not convince you of the merits of LION COFFEE, it costs you but a trifle to buy a package. It is the easiest way to convince yourself, and to make you a PERMANENT PURCHASER. LION COFFEE is sold only in 1 lb. sealed packages, and reaches you as pure and clean as when it left our factory.
