CO National Negro Business League Closed Its Sixth Annual Convention in New York With an Enthusiastic Spirit for Continuous Progress. Synopsis Report from N. Y. Tribuue. VOL. XI. Mrs. Fanny Barrier Williams of Chicago, a writer, and the only colored member of the Chicago Woman's Club, is in attendance at the convention of the National League of Negro Business Men and takes much interest in the welfare of the young women of her race. "Oswald Villard in his address to the convention," said she to a Tribune representative, "stated that it was impossible to get a good servant in the South. One reason for that is that there is a constant drain of the best colored girls into the North. They find better conditions in domestic service here, better wages, better treatment and a different atmosphere. "I have letters every day of my life from colored girls or their mothers in the South, asking as to opportunities for domes tic service in Chicago. "I have not heard or seen in Chicago any of that of which Miss Frances Kellor talks so much, the inveighing of Southern colored girls come North for domestic service into the disreputable houses of New York. There is a constant influx of colored girls from the South into Chicago, almost all of whom enter domestic service. That is almost the only thing that is open to them. Only a few can get into stores or offices. But this whole trade of domestic service is being lifted upon a professional basis. Daughters of the finest white families take Domestic science courses. Domestic service is being divided and specialized, so that if the colored girl dosen't look out she is going to be left behind as a dishwasher, or some other low grade worker. The teaching of domestic science in schools, public, private and philanthropic, is a matter of vital importance to colored girls, and through them to the race. Colored citizens everywhere should work to have domestic science taught in the public schools and friends of the race both white and colored, should establish schools of domestic science for colored girls. It is the one great avenue open to them, and they must either keep up in it or drop behind. The Negro as a race is hampered by lack of confidence, declared Mrs. J. W. Page, of Philadelphia, in a paper asking for the support of working girls. The session was devoted to an exchange of testimonials of the past and present success of the race, with prophesies of the future. Mrs. Page continued: We lack patience; we lack courage. We do not put into practice as much of our physical being in our business as we might. we act too much after the man who has been to business for thirty years. You forget too often, that he may have started with less than you, but he had a will to succeed. If any man should ask why we fail oftimes so soon, it is because we expect too much for nothing. We aim too high at first; we are not content to remain in business on a small scale for a few years. If we as a race of people are desirous of competing with any race of people we must look after the young woman. For although we are weak, yet are we strong, and "the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." "The Negro Business Interest of Greater New Yurk and vicinity," were described by D. Macon Webster, of Brooklyn. He made a comparative statement showing the business occupations of Negroes in 1870 and 1905. There were about six occupations in which Negroes were engaged here in 1870 and at the present time, Mr. Webster said, there are fifty-one. "The Improvidence of the Negro, and How to Meet It", was the subject of a carefully prepared paper by the Rev. Dr. Matthew Anderson, of Philadelphia. He said, in part: No man is reformed or indubed to change his habits by being held in contempt and ridicule; neither will he become economical by simply telling him what he ought to be. The country is full of such gratutious teachers. What the colored people of the United States most need is not charity, but the means to assist themselves. They need the simulas which capital gives. Let capital be so employed as not only to benefit the rich but the poor as well, and consequently the Negro, and at the same time not take away their sense of self-respect, or in anyway lower them in the eyes of others, and it would be only comparatively short time before there would be produced a radical change in the Negro's economical condition. For it is not that the colored people have not sufficient income, as a general rule, to enable them to save a part of their daily or weekly earnings above their actual expenses they fail to practice economy. It is a fact, though seldom admitted, that the Anglo-Saxon is as a general rule, more ignorant concerning the Negro than the Ne- GIBERT Booker T. Washington, President and Founder of the National Negro Business Mens League. gro is of him, and naturally so, for having the pride of his own race at heart, the Anglo-Saxon acting on the assumption that the Negro, because of his previous condition, disdains to read Negro literature. In conclusion let me say that while I believe that the management of organizations for the improvement of the condition of the Negro should be composed of the very best white and colored men and women obtainable, for the reasons which have been advanced the inception and launching of such organizations should spring from the Negro himself. H. C. Haynes, of Chicago, told the convention how successful the Negro has proved himself to be in the manufacturing of razor strops, and Charles T. Bass, of Sullivan, Booker T. Washington, President Negro Business Ind., described "opera house management." In his paper on "Loan Associations," John W. Armstrong, of Savannah, said that the Negro as a mass does not understand the value of stored money, yet through the loan association of the South he is being educated in this direction. W. I. Graham, of Richmond, Va., and J. M. Wright, of Topeka, Kan., discussed "Some Benefits of Fraternal and Industrial Insurance." William F. Graham, of Richmond, Va., spoke on the benefits of Fraternal and Industrial Insurance, and the Negro publisher was discussed by C. J. Perry, of Philadelphia. Booker T. Washington presided and brought the session to a close in the time alloted. John Wanamaker was the principal speaker at the closing sessions of the National Negro Business League yesterday. Mr. Wanamaker told the league he was not there to make an address, but to "see what kind of people are the country business men of the country." He told them that they were beginning at the best time America ever had for business and with "great friendships and opportunities for success." "The very existence of the League., Mr. Wanamaker said, "is to me, upon its face an indict- t and Founder of the National s Mens League. ment against exploitation of progress by chance by favoritism or by sympathy. You can't afford to stop for a single minute, in order to become the ward of the nation, to be paid for any service that you did in the war, to be considered the cause of any handicap that you may feel to be upon you. The great dream that you are to be lifted and carried has been exploded. You are like the man who was kicked by a mule. He was not handsome afterward, but he had learned a great deal." Mr. Wanamaker then told the league he had learned a great deal from the colored people. "Why the first book I ever read," he said "Robinson Crusoe,' was given me by a colored boy of my childhood acquaintance. It came from a black hand, but a heart that was white. When I first met Mr. Washington I felt drawn to him as I am to you. If you get up and do something for yourself, and not expect some one else to do it for you, you will not have cause to be discouraged." Driving Out the Negro. An Associated Press dispatch printed in the morning papers of Thursday last, stated that the Union Pacific Railway company is contemplating putting into their dining car kitchens white chefs instead of the colored men it now employs. No particular reason is assigned for the change, except that perhaps it will be possible to obtain a higher grade of service from the whites. Which is a matter of opinion, or rather of taste, just as choice between French and American cooking as a matter of taste. Some people prefer the Negro chef because he looks more becoming in the kitchen than the white man, while his steaks and cakes are not of inferior quality. But the significance of this dispatch is the fact that the Negro is being driven from a place which has given thousands of his race lucrative employment for a great many years. To him "the white peril" is of infinitely greater moment at the present time than "the yellow peril" is to us. Gradually he sees his living being taken from him without replacing it with some other means of livelihood. The next change may remove the black porter from his place and then the Negro will be pretty much adrift, with no prospects of permanent compensation in any calling. The question is really of more vital importance to both black and white than one might imagine from an indifferent reading of that simple dispatch. The truth is that all through the Southern states the tendency to reject the Negro and employ cheap white labor in his stead is becoming very marked. In the mill towns of Virginia, where the work a few years ago was done almost entirely by Negroes, white labor is now largely employed, while in the Carolinas the poorer classes of native whites are gradually monopolizing factory labor. One of the few employments in which they have not yet been seriously disturbed is in the tobacco factories, but even there they are by no means safe, for already in some places the whites have shown a willingness to work side by side with them, which perhaps means that one day the whites will wholly monopolize that class of work. It will astonish many doubtless to learn that the only cotton mill in the South which employs Negroes is said to be at Dallas, Texas. NO. 48. while to meet the demands for mill hands in the Carolinas alone from 50,000 to 100,000 white people have given up other employments. An indication, too, that the white man in the South is not as notional as he was about the class of work he engages in is seen in the gradual elimination of the colored barber and the substitution of the white. Not very many years ago a white barber in the small towns and cities of the South was exceptionally rare. Now he may be found everywhere. The colored chambermaid, too, has been largely supplanted by the white woman and in many cases white and black are found working harmoniously side by side. In the corn and cottou fields, in the skilled trades, in the public service, in the office buildings of New Orleans and other Southern cities everywhere the tendency to drive off the Negro is apparent. The reason for this state of affairs is not far to seek. It is not race prejudice, as many might at first suppose. It is the result of the new spirit injected into all branches of Southern enterprise by the introduction of Northern capital. The old slipshod ways of gathering corn, rice, and cotton, of operating factories and mills, of bricklaying and carpentry, have been cut aside by the invasion from the north, and now a spirit of smartness, of energy, of sprightliness, is seen everywhere. The Northerner has imported Italians and Bohemians to take the place of the Negro, and if the latter continues to lose his hold upon employment, it will be because of a common preference for the cheaper labor of Southern Europe. Only recently a cry went up from the South to New York for a million more Italians. They do their work as well or better than Negroes and are more likely to save money and become land owners. Booker Washington was right when be said, a few months ago, that the next twenty years were going to be the most serious in the race. If, instead of three or four, there were one or two hundred institutions like Tuskegee, each devoted to the instruction of the Negro, it would not be long until he would be able to take care of himself in any competition, whether in skilled or unskilled labor. Then the question: "what shall we do with the Negro," would require no answer.—San Jose (Cal.) Mercury.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 24.—The Japanese plenipotentiaries, at the com “clusion of the afternoon session yester- day of the peace conference, threw the cards upon the table. It was the dra- matic moment—the moment to which all the previous proceedings of the conference had led. ‘The protoco!s in- volving agreement upon eight of the twelve conditions originally presented by Japan bad been signed. “One side or the other must make a move, or the plenipotentiaries had reached the part- ing of the ways. The adversaries faced each other across the table, Of course, it was well tnderstood what would happen, “but that in a way only made ft more ‘dramatic. Figuratively, President Roosevelt suddenly entered the confer- ence room. M. Witte sat silent, and the move in the great diplomatie game passed to Japan. Baron Kamura in a few words ex- plained that Japan in her great desire for peace was ready to, make certain “modifications” of the original articles, in the hope that Russia could find it possible to accept them, He then pre- sented in writing to M. Witte the com- promise proposition which President Roosevelt had suggested. It was con- crete and specific, and it _fol- lowed the outlines in these dispatches. It offered to with- draw article 9, providing for the payment by Russla of Japan's bill for the cost of war, on condition that Russia would accept article 5, which provides for the cession of the island of Saghalien, so modified as to include an arrangement for the repurchase by Russia of the northern half of the is- land for 1,200,000,000 yen, In addition, it offered to | withdraw ) entirely articles 11 and 12 (surrender of the interned warships and limitation upon Russia's sea power “in the far East). It was President Roosevelt's compromise, and M. Witte knew its contents as well as Baron Ko- mura. The question of whether he was “blufling” was put to the test. With- out a moment's hesitation M, Witte ex- plained that the modification proposed was merely a sham, a change of phraseology, a diplomatic attempt to “dorer la pilule” and ask’ Russia to pay war tribute under another name. He could not accept it. He told Baron Komura Russia “wanted peace. She has given the proofs in accepting every article in- volving the issues upon whieh the war was fought, but she could fight, and money for tribute she would not pay, not a kopeck. He asked Baron Ko- mura to withdraw all demands for tribute. And so the plenipotentiarles separ- ated, to meet again Saturday, ostensi- bly to permit M. Witte to place in writing, as the rules of the conference require, his reply to the Japanese com- promise proposition. In reality the adjournment over the two days was to give each side an op- portunity to consult its government for the last time. The outlook is black, Many believe it was never so black as now. ‘The Japanese are not talking. Indeed, they appear tc be more taciturn and more resolute than ever. The only possible Une of further Japanese concession $s considered to lie in the diminution of the amount of the purchase money de- manded for the north half of Sagha- lien. ‘The ‘decision rests, therefore, as it has from the first, with Russia. Un- less the emperor agrees to yleld_be- tween now and Saturday, the end is likely to come that day.

If this is not done, it was de- clared, there will be wholesale seces- sions and lawsuits. Open charges of breach of trust were made against the supreme council. ‘The session was attended by promt- nent Arcanumites from the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Obio, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Michigan, which states embrace a membership’ of 295, 000 out of the total of 316,000 in the order.

Denver, Colo., Aug. 22.—Recent troubles at the Industrial School for Girls near this city were the occasion of complaints being laid before the State Humane Society, which appointed a committee to examine into conditions at the school. Their report is a lengthy document and is severe in its criticism of the management of the institution. It is signed by James H. Pershing, R. M. Golder and E. K. Whitehead. The report deals at length with the general feeling of disgust and mistrust which the public in general holds against the school and contends that this is one of the fundamental reasons why the school does not prosper. It holds that save for a half dozen exceptions the girls are not bad, but are confined in the school because of various reasons, one of which is failure to be provided for by parents. The report also dwells at length with outbreaks which have occurred and states positively that the superintendent had knowledge of intended outbreaks, but took absolutely no precautions to prevent them. In speaking of one outbreak of which the management had foreknowledge the report says that "The only reason the officials can give not attempting to prevent the outbreak was that they were not sure who would lead the gang that was to run away." The report further states that some of the girls are knocked down and roughly handled and are beaten over the head with a revolver by a male guard, and that after the outbreak all were put in cells. Besides this they were unmercifully whipped and put on short rations, in many cases their bodies showing black and blue marks as big as a hand seven days after punishment had been administered. Five girls who ran away were given fifteen strokes each with a piece of rubber tubing one-half inch in diameter and with one-quarter-inch aperture. The tubing was six feet long and doubled twice, "so as to make it hurt worse," as the officers said. The girls who took part in the strike and ran away were given twenty-five strokes with the same tubing. This whipping was administered "just after prayer" on the night of August 7th. Two other girls who were sick at the time, are still held in cells and will be punished when they get well. The report finds: "First—That the whipping was unnecessarily severe both as to the instrument and the punishment inflicted. "Second—That there is no apparent system or purpose in the methods employed except to preserve discipline by force and fear, that all moral influence had been turned into a demoralizing influence. "Third—That the location of the property of the school is admirable; that the garden lands and orchards ought to and would, under proper management, produce all the vegetables and fruit the school can consume and that sales could be made from the dairy and farm products, after having furnished the school with all its needs. "Fourth—That hard work, if the girls were allowed to perform it, would go a long way toward straightening out the trouble "Fifth—That the business management of the school should be changed at once so as to prevent the present deficit of $600 a month. "Sixth—That all of the ill feeling, lack of sympathy, insubordination, severe punishment, destruction of property, runaways, idleness and increasing debts and all other details of failure and neglect are, in the opinion of your committee, caused by incompetency and mismanagement. "Seventh—In the opinion of your committee, the school almost entirely fails at the object of its creation and rather than continue as it now is might better be done away with. "It is the opinion of your committee also, that present conditions at the school undoubtedly come within the law forbidding injury to children and that unless other means are taken to remedy them it is both the right and duty of your bureau to take whatever steps are calculated to do so." The committee recommends: "First—That the school be placed in charge of a mother or superintendent; a wise and kindly woman with a mother heart and mother appearance; that she be told to get helpers of her own kind for matrons and teachers." "Second—A capable and energetic level-headed business manager should be put in charge of the business affairs of the place at once." "Third—Immediate action should be taken to install the improvements provided for by the Legislature." "Fourth—The arrears from the several counties should be collected promptly." "Fifth—The system of parole should be changed so that parole and release from the school should be dependent upon fitness alone. "Sixth- Corporal punishment should be abolished and solitary confinement rooms, not cells, installed. "Seventh—Constant, systematic and various work should be given the girls, part of this outdoors. "Eighth—Varied and ample amusement and recreation. should be provided, so that when they are not busy at work or in school, they can be having a good time." In conclusion, the report makes a strong appeal to the people of the state to give the bad girls the same opportunities as they give the bad boys. It refers to the school at Golden and tells how the boys are treated, how they are given entertainment, plonics, etc., and how they are visited by parents and friends and made to feel that they are part of the state's people and citizens of the state, and a striking contrast is drawn to the treatment accorded the girls. It holds that it is unfair to laud the boy who is responsible for the girl's conditions to the sky and to forget the girls; that the fair thing to do is to forget the past and help them both.

Moffat and Party of Friends. Denver, Colo., Aug. 21.—David H. Moffat, builder of the Denver & Northwestern railroad, familiarly called the "Moffat" road, took a party of friends over the line yesterday, making the first trip into Hot Sulphur Springs. The road now extends up to within a mile of the growing little city, which contains seventy-five buildings, and will be laid up to the town itself to day. In the party entertained on the trip by Mr. Moffat were Mayor Speer, W. A. Deuel, W. F. Jones, H. A. Sumner, Walter S. Cheesman, John F. Campion, Col. William Stapleton, Lawrence C. Phipps, John Cary, John B. Hunter, A. C. Ridgway, George Vallery, Frank B. Gibson, S. D. Reeve, Congressman Bonynge, former Lieutenant Governor Smith, Fred Moffat, J. A. McClurg, Charles J. Hughes, Jr., S. N. Wood and J. A. McMurtrie. The party was met at the end of the road by citizens in carriages and light spring wagons and driven about the town. The buildings are freshly painted and much admiration was expressed for the enterprise of the little city. The 180-foot bridge over the Grande river had been completed in the mcmzing. The special train of two cars left Denver at 7 o'clock in the morning and returned at 9 o'clock in the evening. The members thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the trip and pronounce the Moffat road as the most picturesque mountain road to be found anywhere. The road is well laid and operates with wonderful ease even while new. Rails are now being laid at the rate of one and one-half miles per day. The contract has now been let to build right up to Gore canon and the work will be pushed rapidly. Hot Sulphur Springs was delighted with the visit of the party of distinguished men. The residents are greatly pleased with the completion of the railroad into their city, may of them having looked forward for years to the proud day when such an engineering feat would be accomplished. Railroad day, September 15th, will be a day of general celebration at Hot Sulphur Springs. On that day, the opening of the road into the town will be commemorated and a program of sports and festivities has been arranged. There will be horse racing, broncho busting contests and an old-fashioned barbecue and grand ball. The Denver Chamber of Commerce will attend in a body, and fully a thousand visitors will be entertained. The executive committee in charge of the events is composed of W. P. Farris, H. F. Adams, J. N. Pettingell, D. P. Howard and F. M. Briggs. A thousand dollars has already been raised for the occasion. EAGLES ELECT OFFICERS. Davis Is President and Milwaukee Gets Next Meeting. Denver, Aug. 20.—After balloting all day the national convention of Eagles adjourned at an early hour this morning after patiently struggling through the most firesome election that the order has known. Shouts rent the air all night whenever any one voted and the chair had difficulty maintaining order. The strife, however, was good natured throughout, only everybody seemed imbued with the idea that he ought to make a racket. Milwaukee secured the next convention after a hard fight with San Francisco. At the close of Friday's business sessions the Eagles had elected Hyman D. Davis grand worthy president, A. E. Partridge, grand worthy secretary to succeed himself, and Edward Krause, vice president, the latter having been chaplain during the last year. The Davis slate apparently swept everything before it with the exception of the grand worthy treasureship. Frank Hering of South Bent, Indiana, conceded the victor in this contest over C. A. Stephens of Iowa, although the vote was exceedingly close. M. P. Connolly of Springfield, Massachusetts, had the largest vote of any of the officers elected yesterday, submerging his opponents. The ticket stood as follows, the Davis men being the winning candidates: Grand Worthy Chaplain—Joseph T. Hinkle of Oregon. Grand Worthy Treasurer—Frank F. Hering, Indiana. Grand Worthy Conductor—M. F. Connelly of Massachusetts. Grand Worthy Inside Guard—W. G. Pettis of Virginia. For grand worthy trustees, Joseph Ellis of Minnesota, W. N. Carr of Pennsylvania, R. M. Minnean of Illinois, M. H. McNabb of West Virginia, J. J. Kennedy of New York. The following report was submitted last night by the committee of award on degree team floor work contest. The prize awarded was a $750 banner.

A dastardly attempt has just been made to assassinate Queen Margherita, mother of King Victor Emmanuel, who is making a tour of the Alps in an automobile. This news is contained in a telegram received yesterday from Aosta at the royal palace of Racconiql, near here. Queen Margherita' as ascending the little St. Bernard in her, automobile accompanied by the Marquise Divilla Marina, another lady of the court, and two gentlemen, when the machine suddenly struck a stone barricade that had been erected in the middle of the road, and was overturned. Fortunately no one was injured but the five occupants were greatly alarmed. The barricade had been placed at a dangerous turning where it was impossible to see the road more than a few feet in advance.

It is the Negro talent for invention. When this subject is carefully looked into it will prove interesting for the public, especially in view of the fact that Negroes have been kept out of department of intricate mechanics, but wherever he has opportunity he is sure to invent improvements. It is strongly contented that Eli Whitney was not the rightful inventor of the cotton gin to whom history has given the credit but that a Negro slave solved the mystery and that Whitney secured the patent. Denver colored citizens have invented several appliances one of which are to be seen at 16th and Curtis streets and another at 16th and Stout, which consists of a unique street sign laid in the sidewalk, the bright idea of two of our colored citizens. If these signs prove acceptable they will be adopted by the city council for the streets of Denver as they already have the indorcements of substantial business men. A. T. Lewis and Sons, The Sholtz Drug Co. and John S. Flower, president of the Real Estate Board having made request that they be laid on their property. The Sixth session of the National Negro Business League has gone into history. The Press of this country has spoken in the highest praise of its value. Like its predecessors it has proved its actual worth in encouragement and hope to the race. Built upon solid and practical lines, this organization is destined to point the way out, irrespective of all opposers and the galaxy of calamity howlers that follows upon its wake. Its influence is a stimulus to local leagues and an object lesson to Negroes in every city and hamlet in the United States. Here in Denver its power ought to be efficacious. Wide awake and capable men and women of our race who ought to be filling responsible positions are compelled to accept minor and inferior places because there is no concerted effort to help them. Again this paper appeals to the powers that be for fair play and such place in the gift of the party to which their vote, loyalty and fidelity entitles them. In the sheriff's office and in each of the city, county an state offices, there are places that our youngmen and women can fill with credit to them selves and strength to the party. Will the Negroes of Denver permit the inspiration of this splendid meeting of the National Business League to go by without effort to carry out some of its wise provisions? We pause for an answer. It is up to the people of Denver. what are you going to do about it? PROGRESS OF THE NEGROS Booker T. washington on Thurs day demonstrated anew the justness of his title as a wise and statesmanlike leader of his race. Probably no man more ardently than he wishes for himself and for other colored men every possible opportunity of civilized life. No man sets a higher ideal of rights and privileges for Negroes than he does. But he has the largeness of mind and the philosophical understanding of life to see the necessity of firm foundations. He knows that nobody can, in the long run, be anything but himself. No ballot box will give him a voice worth having in the government unless he can discharge the duties of a good citizen. No equal chance to grow rich will profit him unless he is prepared to work intelligently and faithfully. No disposition on the part of others to respect him can bear fruit unless he is himself respectable. Dr. washington tells his people that their "progress must be permanent and not artificial, and it must be by natural and logical steps." He says: "we must pay "the price of everything we get. "we cannot bridge the chasm that "separates us from much that "American life offers by simply "meeting and passing resolutions. "The day has passed when the "great body of the American people will give serious demands." "The most potent demand that we "can make for fair and just consideration is actual achievement in "the locality in which we live." It is this common-sense spirit which inspires the National Negro Business League and makes its work so full of promise to the colored race and to the whole country. Every successful Negro is a soldier fighting for colored rights in the most effective way possible. He is meeting and disproving the old reproach that the Negroes are incompetent and that opportunity is wasted on them. He is gaining the material power which, in this practical industrial civilization, insures respect and consideration. He is responding to a need of the community, and gradually the community, instead of, perhaps reluctantly, permitting him to vote as a privilege, will want his vote as a bulwark of good government. The straight road for the Negro to all the rights of which he is unjustly deprived is the way of industry and upbuilding of individual character, which the National Negro Business League is following.—New York Tribune. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. A. R. Cooper a Negro shoe manufacturer of Findley, Ohio, has invented an electric shoe. The Pullman company has retired several of its faithful porters on a pension of $50 a month for the remainder of their lives. At Savannah, Ga., Negroes have two banks, four insurance companies (which employ about 85 young men and women,) one straight life insurance company doing a thriving business. Walter B. Wright of Cleveland, Ohio, is private secretary to the president of the Nickle Plate railroad and Charles Smith of the same city is private secretary to the chief of police. David Lowery, an expert electrician, is a foreman at the Urbana, Ohio, electric light plant, and his color does not militate against his efficiency or acceptability to company or employees. Washington is to have a new Freedmen's hospital and $300,000 have been appropriated for the same. When completed it will be a splendid monument to the capabilities of the race in one of the highest and most honored professions. Manx Laws Seem Strange "Divine Storm" Saved Japan Young Lieutenant Tells of Leading His Men in Desperate Assault Upon a Strong Russian Earthwork. Lieut. Tokutaro Oshio, a Japanese officer, gives the following description of an attack on Russian works during the battle of Mukden: "At the suggestion of an officer of the staff corps we volunteered to rush the works the same night. Men came to their officers and begged to let them go and fill up the trenches with their corpses, so that others following them might walk over their bodies into the defenses. At the men's earnest request a deputation of officers and men was sent to the divisional commander, who gave them the requested permission, not without some hesitation. All the unwounded of our company offered themselves to a man, and formed up—in fact, they all offered themselves; but we were compelled to take only the unwounded. The men of the Kessital formed up in a square, each man with a tumbler full of water, to drink to the long parting—a parting after which they might never meet again. Gen. Tachimi uncoorked some wine and himself poured a just drop into each man's glass, shaking hands with each. Holding his glass aloft, he said: 'Gentlemen, I have not much to say to you to-night. You know well the desperate nature of your undertaking, in which success is not certain. You know also the chances against your returning alive to tell the tale. I can only wish you, gentlemen, godspeed. Go, gentlemen, do your best.' Curious Enactments of the Isle of Man-Every Woman Entitled to Vote at Elections for Members of the House of Keys. Peculiar to itself is the code of laws of the Isle of Man. The laws of England have never prevailed there and some of the Manx enactments are very curious. One of the earliest enjoined "all Scots to avoid the land with the next vessel that gooth into Scotland, upon pain or forfeiture of their goods and bodies to prison." Another enacted that "Irish women loitering and not working be commanded forth of this isle with as much convenient speed as may be" (1561). The first of these laws was the result of a series of raids on the Manx coast by a Galloway rover named MacCulloch. It is said that it was at this period that the Manx custom originated of "eating the meat before they supped the broth," lest they should be deprived of the more substantial part by the appearance at their doors of this Scotchman and his crew. About this time the parish clerks were ordered "to stand at the church doors at the time of service and whip and beat all the dogs." During the seventeenth century a law was made that "whosoever shall be found or detected to pull horse tayles shall be punished upon the wooden horse of the parish, thereon to con- Mighty Force Gathered by Kublai for the Subjugation of the Island Empire Annihilated by a Fearful Typhoon. About 600 years ago Japan was threatened with an invasion from continental Asia, much as England was threatened with invasion by the Spaniards. The beaten Spanish armada was dispersed by storm and Japan was delivered in much the same way, but without an engagement. A Japanese writer, Okakura Yoshisabura, says: "The mighty Kublai, grandson of the great Genghiz khan, haughty with his resistless army, whose devastating intrepidity taught even Europe to tremble at the mention of his name, dispatched an embassy to the Japanese court to demand the subjection of the country. The message was indignantly dismissed. Enraged at this, Kublai equipped a large number of vessels with the choicest soldiers China could furnish. The invading force was successful at first and committed massacres in Iki and Tsushima, islands lying between Korea and Japan. The position was menacing: even the steel nerves of the trained samurai felt that strange thrill a patriot knows. Shinto priests and Ferocious Monster Leaped in Boat After Prey—Presence of Mind and Quick Action Saved Life of Boy. The yellow fever was raging in the city of Vera Cruz that year, and one of the large West Indian liners which arrived on a certain day was obliged to anchor off in the harbor. A small boat, known as a dingey, floated astern, and in this an active young colored boy of about fifteen was busily at work washing off the seats. The boat lurched over with a sudden dip as the boy bore his weight on one of the thwarts, and Pedro heard a warning shout from the steamer's deck just in time to give one terrified glance around and to hear a noise he knew only too well. Without an instant's hesitation he jumped overboard from the opposite side of the boat. For as he looked he caught sight of the jaws of a great shark which, spying this tempting "It is an overwhelming honor and a responsibility almost too great to lead men such as these to dangers and destruction, men to whom in age I am but a younger brother, and in point of experience a mere child. 'I have got seven yen in my bag, Honda; take it out when I am gone, and send it up to the war fund office, will you?' 'Now these are my last verses, keep them for my sake, Oka!' 'Good-by, Tori; meet you at Shokonsha' (the shrine of those fallen for the nation and country). These are bits of sentences I catch as I pace to and fro in the front waiting for the signal to advance. It made me think. I have seen almost all the important actions since the war began, yet I am here still and about to lead my trusted and tried heroes to almost certain annihilation. "At midnight the men threw off the winter coats, and white distinguishing bands were put on the left sleeves in readiness to move. With drawn swords the officers lead, with fixed bayonets the men follow, in our usual formation. First grenade-men in a line at certain intervals, then the main body in columns of sixes with a grenade-man at every few paces in the ranks. And with a tremendous yell we stormed into the earthwork. What happened I cannot bear to recite. How many of us returned? A few, a very few. And the works? Intact still! As we receded came the enemy's counter-attack—the officer in command of this section knows his business well. But there is nothing so ridiculously easy as to repel a Russian counter-attack." tinue two hours, and to be whipped naked from the waist upward." Manx deemsters—the high court judges—are still sworn, as they have been for hundreds of years, by the following curious oath: "By this book and the contents thereof, and by the wonderful works that God hath miraculously wrought in the heaven above and in the earth beneath in six days and seven nights, I do swear that I will, without respect of favor or friendship, loss or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or malice, execute the laws of this isle justly between party and party as indifferently as the herring backbone doth lie in the midst of the fish. So help me God and the contents of this book." Every woman, widow or spinster in the Isle of Man, whether she be owner, occupier or even lodger, enjoys the franchise for the Manx House of Keys elections. Every widow enjoys hall of her husband's personal estate and has a life interest in his real estate, and she cannot be deprived of this by will. Her written consent must be obtained to all transfers and deeds affecting her husband's property. On the other hand, no married woman can legally own in her own right either money or property in the Isle of Man; she can have no separate estate unless specially provided before marriage. Buddhist monks were busy at their prayers. "A tremendous Chinese fleet gathered in the bolsterous bay of Genkal in the summer of 1281. At last the evening came with the ominous glow on the horizon that foretells an ap proaching storm. It was the plan of the conquering army victoriously to land the next morning on the holy soil of Kyushu. But during this critical night a fearful typhoon, known to this day as the 'divine storm,' arose, breaking the jet-black sky with its tremendous roar of thunder and bathing the glittering armor of our soldiers guarding the coastline in white flashes of dazzling light. The very heaven and earth shook before the mighty anger of nature. "Dawn of the next morning saw the whole fleet of the proud Yuan, that had darkened the water for miles, swept completely away into the bottomless sea of Genkal, to the great relief of the horror-stricken populace, and to the unspeakable disappointment of our determined soldiers. Out of the 100,000 warriors who manned the invading ships only three are recorded to have survived the destruction to tell the dismal tale to their crestfallen great khan!" morsel of a plump little darky boy had leaped toward the careened boat with open mouth. So vigorous was the shark's leap that as Pedro went over one side of the boat the shark flopped in at the other. Not being used to these surroundings, and missing his prey, he floundered around until his head bore down the gunwale and he slid from the careening boat into the sea again before the people on the steamer could fling a harpoon at him. Almost as he disappeared poor Pedro's head popped up on the opposite side of the boat, and in a terrible fright he clambered into the dingey again, as thoroughly scared a young darky as ever had a narrow escape. Had he not thus saved himself from the manester, help from the steamer would have been necessary, and even then it is more than probable that the boy would not have been saved. This is a remarkable instance of the ferocity of a shark seeking his prey out of the water.—St. Nicholas.

A few days ago Ole Oleson, the last survivor of the Ole Bull colony at New Bergen and Oleona, Pa., died at the age of 87. His death removes the last representative of that impractical scheme of the hardy Norwegians who in 1840 went into the wilds of Potter county, led by the famous violinist, Ole Bull, and a year later, driven out by starvation, scattered to various parts of the United States. Oleson was one of Bull's closest friends, and when a majority of the colonists accused the violinist of cupidity, Oleson stood up to defend his name. Oleson remained at New Bergen and he and the two old log houses, built by the colonists, for many years have been all that connected the past with the present. First Aid to the Injured On a rock-strewn beach on the Cornish coast the fury of a violent storm was just abating. A vessel had gone to pieces on the rocks, and after display of much heroism on the part of the villagers all the crew and the passengers had been saved, with the exception of one man. He had been washed ashore apparently drowned, and the new curate knelt at his side on the beach endeavoring to restore his circulation. "My friends," he said, turning to the villagers, "how do you usually proceed in these cases?" As one man the simple folk replied: "Search his pockets."—Harper's Weekly. Supply of Natural Gas. Contrary to a growing impression that the supply of natural gas is giving out and is of small importance in the industrial development of the nation, a report of the United States Geological Survey shows that the volume of natural gas produced in 1903 was 238,769,067,000 cubic feet, with a value of $25,815,360. Indiana was the only gas-producing State in which the amount of natural gas decreased during the year. --- The Swikerath Bros. Optical C. Denver's Leading Opticians.

Members of the recent Scottish expedition to the antarctic gathered some interesting information regarding penguins. In the far south beyond the pack ice they came upon the rookeries. It was found that the birds had been hatched in August during the period of the greatest cold and complete darkness. As soon as they are hatched the young literally live on the feet of the old birds and are thus protected from the cold. When they are a little older the chicks are heared in great colonies, their life illustrating in a very ruthless way the principle of the survival of the fittest. The colonies are left to be shepherded by two or three old birds, while the rest of the parents go to seek crustaceans in the cracks of the ice. Each parent as it returns is usually unable to find its own young, since it is mobbed at sight by the more vigorous birds, and, finally, obliged to disgorge the food to the more persistent. All the feebler chicks Extreme Unr Movement on Foct That Threatens to Rival the Boxer Uprising—Bearded Woman Said to Be Leader of Malcontents. Says a writer in the China Mail: "It is reported that in the eastern part of the province of Kwangtung there is a considerable movement on foot which, in some respects, resembles the Boxer outbreak of 1900. The leader of this restlessness is said to be a bearded woman. She has been urging the people to form themselves into a guild or association. She gives out that she is an incarnation of a fairy, who has come down to teach the people the arts of magic. During the spring large numbers of people have been moved to follow her lead. She gives out that by sorcery and magic she can cast out fox devils—in which the Chinese are profound believers—can foretell events distinctly and announce what happiness or misery shall befall the lot of others. "By the same 'might magic,' moreover, like the leaders of the Boxer insurrection, she promises immunity to Wrestling Bo More a Matter of Physical Strength Than Science—Ancient Customs That Are Always Scrupulously Observed. Japan's rival to the ultra-scientific Jiu-jitsu takes a form somewhat akin to that of catch-as-catch-can, in that it is permissible to grasp any portion of an opponent's anatomy to effect a fall. The winner of the bout must have caused his rival to touch the ground with some portion of his body—even a finger is sufficient—or, if he has chosen to adopt another method, he can have pushed, carried or thrown him in such a manner as to have caused him to touch the ground outside the ring. The touch of a toe is sufficient in the latter case. The wrestling is invariably accompanied by the observance of a number of ancient customs. In the first place the goji or referee enters the ring, bearing the wooden fan or staff of office, called to-uchi-wa, and followed by the challenger, whom he announces. Swordfish Mac With Harpoon in Body It Turned Upon Its Captors, Driving Weapon Completely Through Bottom of the Dory. Capt. Charles York of the fishing schooner Eva Mildred had a catch of seventy-five large swordfish to dispose of yesterday morning, caught on the southeast Georges. Besides his fish he had a part of a swordfish sword to which there was a tale of narrow escape of one of the crew attacked. Edward Estes is the name of the fisherman who is congratulating himself on the bad aim of the swordfish, the last one taken on the trip. It was late Wednesday afternoon when the lookout at the foretopmast sighted the fish floating on the surface of the water. He hailed the deck, and the man at the wheel steered for the fish, the spearsman making ready to strike at him. It proved a very big one, and the spearsman sent the lily iron into him with all his force. Song of the "I Bore Him to Valhalla, and There He Dreams of Battle—and I Am but His Dream!" He whom I loved loved no one— Nor woman, child, nor man; His joy was but in bottle, To lead his rushing clan. I had the gift of magic— Through changing forms I ran! I was his white plume, floating Above the serried van! The plume was but a target. Amid the flying scath; And, then, was I his broadsword, And seale, foes both; And through the bated chalax We cut a-groaning swath; But when his arch fee scaped him, He brake me, in his wiath! Then I became his corselet, That next his heart he wore; thus die of starvation and are eaten by the gulls. Some of the penguins weigh as much as eighty pounds and are about four feet high, with a splendid orange patch on the neck. The young take three years to develop fully and even then the plumage is distinctly less brilliant than in the older birds. Both the movements and migration of the penguins are remarkable. When first followed the bird prefers to walk, but when in danger of being caught it drops on to its abdomen and, with the help of the wings, glissades at a pace too great to be overtaken by a man walking. They seem aware of the movements of the great ice fields and use them to help their migration to the pack ice in the north. They take trouble to collect stones—which they delight to steal from one another's piles—for nests. Many of the ways of the penguins are suggestive of preserved instincts. Their attitude when sleeping is modeled on that of birds with fully developed wings. But the penguin has to be content with reaching the shelter of the wing with no more than the tip of his beak. all her sincere followers from bullet or rifle and thrust of spear, as well as from the effects of water and fire. The people are said to be deeply moved. Wealth is pouring into the coffers of the leaders, so that they have provided themselves with weapons and are now being joined by large numbers of local banditti, of whom, in every place in China, there is more than enough. They have already assumed the offensive and have looted some rice stores and other shops. "What their ultimate purpose is does not yet appear, but they are laying in stores of provisions, and have so far terrorized their neighbors that many of the well-to-do of the people are fleeing for their lives and seeking safety in quieter districts. It is reported that already they can muster more than 10,000. "It is believed, however, that the incarnated fairy, who appears in the form of a bearded woman, is nothing more than a man, who has assumed this guise for the sake of secrecy and effect. Several counties have been infected by the contagion." outs in Japan The challenger himself then invites someone to meet him. The man who takes up the gauntlet promptly appears in the ring, and the pair squat opposite each other, with their hands on the ground, waiting the goji's signal to begin. This being given, the men, if both are ready, jump up immediately. Should one, however, be taken unawares, he signifies the fact by keeping his hands on the ground and crying out "Matu, Matu," which is "Again," or "Not ready." Several false starts of this sort are frequently made before the psychological moment comes, and the two men are prepared, even to the exact attuning of their breath. Both next rise together and immediately get to grills, each endeavoring to push the other to the edge of the ring, where every ingenuity is used by the less successful wrestler to turn the tables and to avoid defeat. When one or the other has proved his superiority the fact is announced by the referee, who adopts a curiously sing-songy voice for the purpose.— Sketch. de Good Fight The man on the deck holding the buoy attached to the lily iron rope had scarcely time to cast it overboard, so sudden was the dive of the surprised fish. It fell to Edward Estes to take the dory and go after the fish with a rowing mate. Estes caught up the buoy, and planting himself in the stern of the dory, began to pull in the line. As soon as the fish felt the first tug on the line he turned in the direction of the dory, and came for it like a flash. Diving within ten feet of it, he came up under it, and drove the hard, bony sword nearly two feet through the bottom, within a few inches of where Estes stood. The sword caught fast, and the fish nearly overturned the dory in attempts to get free. Estes cut the intruding sword off at the bottom of the dory and the fish freed itself, and later on was killed. The piece of sword cut off by Estes was kept on board as a trophy.—Boston Globe. Enchantress Ay, and his useless buckler, For he fell wounded sore. I was the wild, strange music That went his soul before. And "Hark!" the murmur dying, "There's singing on the moor!" I was "taw" wild, strange music That sought his soul to win! I led him onward, onward, Till died the battle din; Across the moor, the upland— By breathless stream and linn, I turned to draw him to me. In regions fine and thin! His eyes were oped, to know me, But bright with wrath their gleam, I had the gift of magic— late, only, is supreme!

EARTHQUAKE SHOCK IRRIGATION CONGRESS SHARPLY FELT IN FIVE STATES Tremor Shakes St. Louis, Memphis, Tennessee, and Springfield, Illinois. —No Damage Reported. St. Louis, Aug. 22.—St. Louis and vicinity was visited by an earthquake last night shortly after 11 o'clock. Three distinct shocks were felt by thousands of persons in St. Louis and St. Louis county, as far as Belleville, Illinois, as far south as Memphis, Tennessee, and as far north as Springfield, Illinois. While the tremors lasted scarcely a minute, they were distinct enough to awaken sleeping residents of the city, to cause dogs to bark in alarm and to wake sleeping children who cried out in terror. The shocks, from a comparison of the time they were felt in the districts visited, seemed to travel from east to west. There was but an infinitesimal period between the shocks, but a second intervening between the first and second spasms, and about three seconds between the second and third, or final shock. The trembling of the earth was accompanied by a dull rumbling noise, which sounded like the passing of a distant freight train. Owensboro, Ky., Aug. 22.—Owensboro and Henderson, Kentucky, and Evansville, Indiana, were visited by an earthquake at 11:05 o'clock last night. Two distinct shocks were felt. Citizens of Owensboro were greatly frightened. Many rushed from their homes. No damage was done. Springfield, Ill., Aug. 22.—An earthquake shook houses in Springfield at 11 o'clock last night. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 22.—Two distinct earthquake shocks were experienced here last night at 11:15 o'clock. The disturbance was more appreciably felt in the eastern suburbs than in the city. The shocks were of brief duration. By Members of State Board of Charities and Correction. Denver, Colo., Aug. 22.—Just after the State Humane Society started its investigation into the conduct of affairs at the State Industrial School for Girls the State Board of Charities and Correction, under whose supervision the school is run, visited the institution and reported to the governor as to its condition. After the report of the Humane society, which so severely criticised the entire management, was made public, the Board of Charities and Correction held a meeting, which lasted until midnight, and at its close made public their statement to the governor. The statement among other things says: "The board has just made a careful investigation and has found that the charges are groundless. The inmates have been punished in a manner necessary to preserve discipline in the school. We do not believe a single case of wanton cruelty or undue punishment can be cited. Unless a certain corrective discipline is maintained it would be impossible to keep the school in existence a single hour. Inmates have been punished for violating the rules of the institution. Girls have been locked in cells because it was found necessary. In most cases the failure to do so would have resulted in destruction and the total loss of discipline." The report finds that many of the difficulties of the school are brought about because of the lack of funds necessary with which to carry on the work. In conclusion the report recommends: First, the segregation of the inmates into buildings according to their moral character. Second, that the experiment of farming be abandoned, as it necessitates the employment of men and imposes an unnecessary tax upon the superintendent. Third, that the inmates be employed only in the handicraft of women as sewing, cooking, laundering; etc., and in acquiring an English education. Governor McDonald is said to have stated that he was wholly in accord with all of the provisions of this report. Gas in Gunnison Tunnel. Denver, Aug. 22—A Republican special from Montrose last night says: The oil excitement has been at fever heat during the last two days here. Saturday night every livery or other rig that could be secured was in service and people worked all night staking lands below the Gunnison tunnel in which natural gas was struck Saturday afternoon. To-day people were still making locations and it is conservatively estimated that fully 10,000 acres of land have been located. The government officers are putting in an eighteen-inch pipe to remove the gas from the shaft, where work had to be stopped until safety lamps arrived. Boilers Were Safe. Washington, Aug. 22.—Secretary Bonaparte to-day received, and as soon as he had himself read it, made public the findings of the court of inquiry which investigated the explosion of the gunboat Bennington at San Diego, California, July 21st. The findings were a complete surprise, for they at once set at rest the stories that had been circulated to the effect that the Bennington's boilers and perhaps those of other naval vessels of the same age were defective. As a matter of fact, the court found the explosion resulted from the closing of a valve which connected the exploded boiler with its steam gauge, so that the pressure on the boiler may have been several hundred pounds to the square inch when the accident occurred. The officers and men who were responsible, in the opinion of the court, are pointed out and courtmartial proceedings suggested in the case of the only one of them surviving, Ensign Charles T. Wade ANNUAL MEETING AT PORTLAND More Than One Thousand Delegates Represent More Than Four-Fifths of the States of the Union. Portland, Ore., Aug. 23.—The thirteenth annual meeting of the National Irrigation Congress, with more than a thousand delegates present, repres- enting more than four-fifths of the states of the Union, assembled Monday at the Lewis and Clark auditorium. Governor Pardee of California, presi- dent of the congress, called the con- vention to order. Governor Chamberlain welcomed the delegates to Oregon. He prefaced his welcome by emphasizing the import- ance of irrigation. He criticised sever- ely the existing laws, which he believed to be lacking especially in conferring sufficient power to condemn private property. Mayor Lane of Portland extended a cordial welcome in behalf of the city. Governor Mead of Washington was the first of the visitors to respond. He made a brief address in favor of irrigation. Congressman J. B. Stevens of Texas, in his response, agreed with Governor Chamberlain's assertion that the reclamation law is faulty and advocated such reconstruction of the arid land law as would both extend it and make it effectual. He thought especially that the provision which allowed New Mexico, in whose confines the three big rivers which traverse Texas had their source, to obtain a portion of the reclamation fund to the exclusion of Texas, because of that fact, was unjust. Governor Pardee summarized the work before the congress in his annual address. He said in part: "A new branch of government activity, the reclamation service, has been established, and is organized in a manner which gives the promise of the highest efficiency. In it has been assembled a force of 400 engineers, assistants and experts, all chosen absolutely without regard to politics, and appointed after competitive civil service examinations. It is, I am satisfied, the strongest single corps of the kind ever put into the field for a similar purpose. "If we have not yet secured the money in quite such abundant measure as we have secured the men, we have at least made a start, for we have $30,000,000, the proceeds of land sales in the arid states, and with this fund nearly a score of large undertakings have been begun in a dozen states and some of them already are well under way. "So, I am now able to congratulate this thirteenth National Irrigation Congress that, for the first time, we have national irrigation as an actual test, and not, as it so long remained, merely an ideal. "There is nothing which holds out so much hope of an increase of country population as an energetic prosecution of the work of irrigation development. It means the multiplication of small farms and comfortable homes. Irrigation leads to intensive cultivation, and that implies many proprietors. The class of rural industries which they have in irrigated districts is not inviting to millionaire landlords, working vast areas with semi-servile labor. Intelligent and personal supervision are necessary. Thrift gets the better of speculation. Industry is at a premium and monopoly is discouraged. In Utah, where irrigation is strictly a necessity of agriculture, the average farm is only twenty-seven acres in extent. In California, as soon as an irrigation furrow is drawn, the ownership of the great ranches begins to disintegrate and many more homes are made." A message from President Roosevelt to the congress was read by Gifford Pinchot, chief forester of the United States. The President reviewed the importance of reclamation work in the development of the country and counseled patience until the operation of the reclamation act should become more extensive. The importance and wide scope of the act was dwelt upon, the President pointing out that the act unites East and West and that it "enforces the principle of the greatest good to the greatest number, but gives each man land enough to support his family in comfort." "The reclamation act is the most powerful of all foes of land monopoly," he said. The President also warned the people against "letting public lands pass into private hands for fictitious reasons." The necessity for forest protection was indicated, the President asking for the hearty support of the congress to the forestry service, as an aid to future irrigation work. President Roosevelt's message, was received with rounds of applause. Kermit Roosevelt's Trip Omaha, Aug. 23.—Kermit Roosevelt, son of the President, who arrived in Deadwood Monday evening, will start, after a short visit, for the Big Horn mountains in Wyoming, where, with Capt. Seth Bullock, he will hunt for big game. Captain Bullock met the young man and accompanied him to the hills. Kermit Roosevelt will remain until school opens in September. Stanley Bullock and Paul Martin accompanied Kermit. The three lads are about the same age. Kermit Roosevelt was the recipient of much attention here and talked good-naturedly with every one he met. "If I can only get a bear," he said. "My highest ambition is to beat my father's bear-slaying record, but I scarcely expect to do that." Case of Suicide. Trinidad, Colo., Aug. 23.—A cornerer's jury investigating the death of Leonard Linhardt decided that he came to his death by his own hand. The testimony of the coroner as to the nature of the wound and the circumstances of the death all tend to this conclusion. The instinct of a horse led to the body being found. The animal belonged to an Italian who was passing near by, and its peculiar actions caused the man to investigate. LOST 72 POUNDS. Was Fast Drifting Into the Fatal Stages of Kidney Sickness. Dr. Melvin M. Page, Page Optical Co., Erie, Pa., writes: "Taking too many iced drinks in New York in 1895 sent me home with a terrible attack of kidney trouble. I had acute congestion, sharp pain in the back, headaches and attacks of dizziness. My eyes gave out, and with the languor and sleeplessness of the disease upon me I wasted from 194 to 122 pounds. At the time I started using Doan's Kid the back, headaches and attacks of dizziness. My eyes gave out, and with the languor and sleeplessness of the disease upon me I wasted from 194 to 122 pounds. At the time I started using Doan's Kidney Pills an abscess was forming on my right kidney. The trouble was quickly checked, however, and the treatment cured me, so that I have been well since 1896 and weigh 188 pounds." Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For sale by all druggists.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. The louder a man hollers about his honesty the lower are the whispers of other people about it. Ask Your Dealer for Allen's Foot-Ease Apowder.

The guests had departed and the minister had gone on his way rejoicing. (He would continue to rejoice until after he had opened the envelope which had been handed him by the best man, and which was supposed to contain a liberal wedding fee.) They were spending their honeymoon at the scene of the wedding her father's house. The bride spoke—not an unusual thing for a bride, or any other real, live, flesh-and-blood woman. "You love me, don't you, George?" "Didn't you hear me tell the minister so?" "Yes; but that was done publicly and—well, officially, so to speak. I want to hear you say it to me alone, when nobody else is present." Again he infringed upon somebody else's copyright, and told her in stereotyped phrases which, though old, is never out of print. "I could not live without you, George," she murmured, as he concluded. "I don't see why not; you have for forty years." She lives without him now.—Woman's Home Companion. Things Japanese. Japan has 75 cotton spinning and weaving mills, with an aggregate capacity of 1,294,490 spindles, of which 1,095,657 are in regular working. These have a working time of from 12 to $23\frac{1}{2}$ hours a day. The largest individual monthly production is the 2,107,191 pounds turned out by the Kanegafuchi cotton spinning mill. Other mills turn out monthly 1,870,625 and 1,412,533 and 1,211,141 pounds respectively. Many of the mills run night and day for all the days of the month, including holidays. Japan will in future construct all her war vessels at home, unless circumstances compel her to act otherwise. She has equipped extensive yards, shops and gun and armor foundries. The yards are now busy on an extensive building program, including the construction of two large armored vessels. Japan's fourth domestic loan is $100,000,000, half of which is issued first at 90, with interest at 6 per cent, to run seven years. Japanese bankers favor these terms, and patriotism does the rest. Twin Chickens. Twenty-five dollars for a pair of spring chickens is a liberal price, yet a Massachusetts farmer rejected it. His pair of chickens, he thinks, are quite unique, for they are twins, five weeks old, and it is said that two chickens born from a single egg have never before been proved to live beyond eight days. The buff brahma hen laid rather a large egg, but no one thought much about it until one morning the farmer saw two bills instead of one trying to break out of the shell. He quickly removed the egg to the kitchen, extricated the twin chicks, wrapped them in cotton batting and placed them in the oven. For three weeks the chickens were kept indoors on a diet of malted milk and brandy dropped down their throats with a medicine dropper. The twins are now hale and hearty and run about the yard as vigorously as any of their comrades. One peculiarity, however, distinguishes them from their mates. They are exclusive little aristocrats and neither of them will associate with any other chicken except his twin. Dennis Gibbons Dennis Gibbons 441 W. Colfax Av. Denver, Colo. ROQUOIS BAR AND GEO. W.

A GIFT FROM THE ENEMY. fe Ce Ne ene ae eras (ee ; Japanese Officer. A Japanese officer, writing of the Scenes after the battle of Mukden, gives the following incident: “Among the wounded Russians upon the field was a boy of barely 16 or 17, a drum- mer boy, shot through both legs. He held a rosary in his hands, praying. Poor mite, the pity of it! He was a Pole, I believe, as he spoke German. He was so thirsty that my bottle was not enough for him, so another half of the bearer’s bottle was given to him, too, and he had some biscuits. I had a strong yearning to ask him about his home, but he was weak, and his spirit needed keeping up. ‘Your wound {s nothing,’ I said. “The Japanese hospital attendant will be here soon and take you away. And soon you will be able to go home to your parents.’ “Covering him up with blankets and coats taken from tke Russian dead, I was just walking away when he cried out after me. ‘A moment, of- ficer, a moment. Kind officer, I have something to give to you—this book. It was given to me by my father when I was leaving nome for the front. 1 have nothing -nore valuable to offer you, sir. It is the most precious thing I possess.’ and he kissed my hend repeatedly, crying bitterly. “I accepted the book, and without a word turned away to find anothes sufferer. I would not have broken down for a coloneley before those bearers and .ny own men. The book was entitled ‘Himmelsbrod; or Ein Gebetbuch fur Jugend’ (Bread of Hea ven; or, A Prayerbook for the Young).” NOW THE MANHATTAN SMASH. New Drink That Pleases Both the eases nea TENE ea geet “Now, the Manhattan smash, made first by Tom Powers, is made in a champagne glass,” says the Kansas City Times. “You pour three different colored \iquors into the stem of the glass; 20. You must do it carefully so they don’t mix. Then you drop a cherry into the bowl on top of the stem and shut the liquors in; they don’t ix with the top drink at all. ‘They're there just for the color effect. But they come down in the end and give you the tang that makesthe Man- hattan smash the ordinary Manhat- tan—-with a difference. Then you take a long glass and smash an orange in it, fill it with broken ice and over that. the ordinary Manhattan. Last you must pour that into your cham- pagne glass without disturbing the cherry or the liquors in the stem. And when that is done,” said the bar- keeper, handing the glass to his friend, “you haye the manhattan smash. Try it? The guest held the glass with its murky, orange-tinted bowl up to the light. At the base of the bowl lay the ted cherry “shining like a good deed in a naughty world,” and under that the stem of three colored liquors. He drained the glass. “It's Manhattan,” he said, “and a sensation.” Haif:a dozen men along the bar counter had listened to the exposition with curious Interest. The curious guest turned with an ineffable light in his face.

Booker T. Washington’s appearance at dinner recently in the great dining room of the United States hotel at Sar- atoga caused a mild sensation among the diners, Mr. Washington was the guest of John Wanamaker, former postmaster general, and acted as es- cort of Mrs. Barclay Warburton, Mr. Wanamaker'’s daughter, while Mr. Wanamaker walked to the table with J. RB, Roberts, As they walked down the long line every eye was directed upon the distinguished negro educator and the former Cabinet officer. Com- ‘paratively few of those present recog- ‘nized either of them and there was a generai buzz of comment and @ cran- ing of necks. || Mr. ‘Washington preached at Sara- toga three times, first in the Presby- terlan church, then in the Baptist church, and late in the evening in the American Methodist church. Reflects in America. It {s reported that the separation of Norway and Sweden will make a new line of political cleavage among the American citizens of the Northwest. The sons and grandsons of the Scandi- navians who make up the bulk of the population of the states west of the Great lakes and at the headwaters of the Mississippi want to import thelr quarrel from the Old World, and be no longer Republicans and Democrats, but Norwegians and Swedes. ‘The Reason Why. Drummond, Wis., Aug. 21st (Spe- cial)—Whole families. in Bayfield County are, singing the praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills and the reason why is given in experfences such as that of Mr, T. T. Wold, a well-known citizen here. “I had such pains in my back that I dia not know what to do,” says Mr. ‘Wold, “and as I came across am adver- tisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I sent for a box. That one box reliev- ed me of all my pains. My wife also used them and found them just what she needed.’ I recommend Dodd's Kid- ney Pills as a sure cure for Back ache and other Kidney Troubles.” Backache is one of the earliest symptoms of Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure {t promptly and per- manently and prevent it developing “into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright's Disease. Peaceful on Mars. Having carried out their vast irriga- tion works on Mars, its inhabitants, said Prof. Ray Lankester at Oxford, Englandy recently, must be far in ad- vance of the inhabitants of the earth, and in a condition of universal peace. ‘The Icon of Russia. An icon is a holy picture or mosaic, blessed by a priest of the Greek church, and carried by the devout as & talisman to ward off evil. After the tcon has been blessed by a priest, tt is then regarded not only as an orna. ment, but as an aveessory in the wor whip of the Greek church. Almost ev- ery soldier wears an icon on his bo- tom, and when he prays he takes out bis icon, and opening it, kneels down before it as if it were an altar. Every Russian regiment has its special icon, which {t carries like a banner when the regiment goes into battle. ‘Newspaper for the Biind. The “Braille Weekly,” a sixteen- page newspaper for the blind, and the first of its kind ever fssued, has just made its appearance in Edinburgh. As its name indicates, the paper is printed in the raised characters invented by Braille, a blind Frenchman, who died in 1852, whose system {s the one in general use by blind persons the world over. A recent improvement in the embossing process renders the cost of production very moderate, and it is be- Heved sufficient subscribers will be ob- tained to make the new venture a suc- cess. The paper contains editorial, war and foreign news, together with sport- ing Intelligence and various light fea- tures. Special permission has been given by the leading agencies of the United Kingdom for the reproduction of telegrams and articles, and, as far as possible, nothing has been left un- done to give the blind the newspaper advantages possessed by those who have the blessing of eyesight. “3 WRONG SORT -_._ Bread may Be Against You for a Time. A change to the right kind of food ean lift one from a sick bed. A lady in Welden, Il. says: “Last Spring I becarco bed-fast with severe stomach trouble accompanied by sick headache. I got worse and worse until I became so low I could scarcely retain any food at all, al- though I tried every kind. I had be come completely discouraged, had giv- en up all hope and thought I was doomed to starve to death, till one day my husband trying to find some- thing I could retain brought home some Grape-Nuts. “To my surprise the food agreed with me, digested perfectly and with- out distress. I began to gain strength at onge, my flesh (which had been flabby) grew firmer, my health im- proved in every way and every day, and {ni a very few weeks I gained 20 pounds in weight. I liked Grape-Nuts 80 well that for 4 months [ ate no other food, and always felt as well sat- isfled after eating as if I had sat down to a fine banquet. “I had no return of the miserable sick stomach nor of the headaches, that I used to have when I ate other food. I am now a well woman, doing all my own work again, and feel that life {s worth living. “Grape-Nuts food has been a god- send to my family; {t surely saved my life and my two little boys have thriv- en on {t wonderfully.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. | There's areason. * Get the little book, “The Road to Wellville,” in each pkg.

DIDN'T TOUCH THEM "FASHION NOTES FOR MEN" WAS A FAILURE, The Women, After Momentary Digression, Calmly Went on With the Discussion of Various Appropriate Wearing Apparel, After Mrs. Ponsonby had talked about dressmakers and dressmaking until Mr. Ponsonby was weary, and when Mrs. Dallington had for more than two solid hours discussed gowns, hats, wraps, corsets and feminine apparel in general, Arthur Ponsonby flicked the ashes from his cigar and, turning to Dallington, asked: "By the way, Fred, where did you buy your shirts?" "I always get them at Creighley's." "Do you like his style? I think Mudgers makes the sweetest shirts I ever wore. They fit just lovely over the hips, and he seems to have a way of putting in sleeves that is so cunning." "Oh, I shall have to go to him when I need shirts again. Where do you get your trousers?" "Mansell always makes mine. I wouldn't think of going to any one else. How much did you pay for that vest. It's just as sweet as it can be." "Yes, isn't it pretty? Do you know, I bought it ready made. I very seldom do such a thing, but it happened to just fit me and I couldn't resist it. Did Mansell make that coat your wearing?" "Yes. How do you like it? Do you think it fits me just right across the shoulders?" "It's perfect. I never saw anything sweeter. You ought to wear gray all the time. It's really very becoming to you. What a cunning tie you have. Where do you get your ties?" "Oh, I wouldn't think of getting a tie anywhere but at Murgenheim's. Do you like these socks I'm wearing?" "Dearrime! They're awfully cute. I bought some new ones last week, but I like yours better than any of mine. I'm going to have a new pair of trousers cut out just as soon as I can get around to it. What do you think would be a good style for me to get? Would you have them shirred at the knees?" "No. I don't like them that way, I think I would have them tucked at the ends and cut full at the sides, with deckel-edged seams. Still, if you like them gathered at the top, I—" "Arthur," exclaimed Mrs. Ponsonby, "have you suddenly gone crazy?" "Fred Dallington," that gentleman's wife demanded, "what in the world is the matter with you?" The men shook their heads and denied that they had lost their wits. Being reassured, Mrs. Ponsonby asked Mrs. Dallington how she intended to have her Indian head skirt made up. "I think," said Mrs. Dallington, "I will have it plaited both in front and behind. Do you remember that douml of mine?" "Do you mean the pinkish one that Mrs. Blytheleigh made for you?" Defeated and shamed the two men lit fresh cigars and sat back and were silent.—S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record Herald. Talk Turkey. A man who makes it his business as well as his pastime to hear every public speech he can said the other day: "Public speakers and campaign orators do not always have time or occasion to explain phrases used in 'driving home' arguments. They must necessarily depend upon their audiences to see the point through apt applications of such phrases. I have one in mind—'to talk turkey.' It would not always do to explain that the origin of this is as follows: "Two men, an Indian and a white man, agreed to hunt together for a day and to divide the spoils. When the time came there was no difficulty in apportioning the smaller birds and animals—one of a kind to each. At last they reached the last pair, a crow and a turkey." 'Now,' said the white man, with a great show of fairness, you may have the crow and I'll take the turkey, or I'll take the turkey and you may have the crow. 'Huh!' grunted the Indian. 'Why, you no talk turkey to me?' An Exceptional Case. The teacher was giving the school a little lecture on good conduct. "Let me caution you on another point, children," she said. "Avoid criticizing. Don't make a practice of finding fault with other people, or picking flaws in what they say or do. It is a very bad habit to form, and will make your own life unhappy." "Why, teacher," spoke up a little boy, "that's the way my father makes his livin'!" "You surprise me, Georgy. What is your father's occupation?" "He's a proofreader ma'am." The teacher coughed behind her fan. "Well, Georgy," she said, "I will make an exception in the case of your father."—Youth's Companion. A. B. J. F. CLARK.

Not only do they save her hands from the ravages of the burning sun without inducing perspiration, but they are always immaculately clean and fresh. Each night the pair she has worn during the day gets its tub bath in warm soapsuds and is dry and ready for use the following day. Fabric gloves, whether in lisle or linen mesh, are so skillfully woven now that they have lost all of the scratchy feeling which has long been their objectionable feature. The girl who is peculiarly sensitive to this irritation will find lisle gloves lined with the most supple of China silk. Fashionable shades, such as old rose and old blue, are lined with creek silk or silk embroidered with polka dots or tiny flowers. Linen mesh gloves, so popular during the warm months last year, are more than ever in evidence this summer, and the stitchings on the back show most elaborate handwork in self-tone or contrasting shade. The New French Blouse. Never have the separate blouses seemed so altogether fascinating as at present. The sheer materials which the importer shows in such wonderful array make these waists especially attractive. The creation shown here could not fall to increase the charms of any wearer. White crystal silk serves of the entire waist, while cavalier cuffs and stole collar are embroidered in pastel shades. Narrow 1 black velvet in a Greek key patterns gives character to the bodice and both of these decorations are novel as well as inexpensive. Appliqué, guipure or the popular spangle can be used in place of the embroidery. A bodice suitable for formal occasions is effected by omitting plastron and cuffs. Why You See Them. Many a blouse sleeve pouched at the waist is still slipping about the world, in spite of the edict which this spring banished wrist puffs in favor of balloon tops. Sometimes the reckless flying in the face of fashion is due to the fact that the wearer of the pouched sleeves cannot afford to throw last year's blouses away, and isn't smart enough to turn the sleeves upside down herself—which is the method of the ingenious to make last year's sleeves look like this year's—and hasn't yet found a dressmaker who isn't too busy to do it for her. For where is the dressmaker who will bother turning sleeves upside down when she has got whole rafts of brand new summer gowns to make? Cauliflower Soup. One fine cauliflower, two tablespoonfuls of butter rolled in one of cornstarch, one onion, bunch of parsley, two blades of mace, two quarts of water, two cups of milk, pepper and salt, a pinch of soda in the milk. Cut the cauliflower into bunches, reserving about a cupful of small clusters to put whole into the soup. Chop the rest, also the onion and herbs, and put on in the water with the mace. Cook an hour and then rub through a colander. Return the puree thus obtained to the pot and season with pepper and salt. As it boils, stir in the whole clusters, previously boiled tender in hot, salted water, and left to cool. When the soup is again hot, put in the butter and cornstarch; stir until this has thickened; pour into the tureen and add the boiling milk. Pass sliced lemon and cream crackers with it. HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES Water is quite as desirable as milk in mixing batters, and in many instances cake is lighter if made with water rather than milk. Clean fresh eggs and clean pure milk are free from the hurdle elements detected by a microscopic examination of supposedly good meat. Starched table linen may just be termed an abomination. A much better way is to iron tablecloths and napkins while quite damp with hot irons until perfectly dry. Unless entirely dry, it will not be at all stiff, will not show the pattern satisfactorily and will muss easily. When fresh lemons cannot be procured an excellent imitation of lemonade is made as follows: Boil two pounds of leaf sugar in one quart of Attractive Walking Costumes F water for fifteen minutes; then when it is cold add one ounce of citric acid and a small bottle of lemon essence. Stir well and bottle and in using allow two teaspoonfuls to one glass of water. Rnubarb Wine Recipe. Twelve quarts of rhubarb, cut and bruised into small pieces, 10 quarts of cold water, 15 pounds of sugar. Put these together and let stand three days, stirring two or three times a day. Then put into a jar or crock, and half ounce of gelatine dissolved in a little of the wine; let it stand two months, then strain and bottle. A little coloring may be added, if desired. Without, it is white wine. Doudoir Confidences Green gloves are a trifle garish. The robe gown is a tremendous convenience. Everybody is wearing linen, white or colored. Patch pockets on the outing blouse are handy. There are elbow gloves in lemon yellow silk. Summer hats are already "way down" in price. In turbans the box shape and the torpedo are both fashionable. Pretty little Geisha fans for the hair Pretty little Geisha fans for the hair are selling for 5 cents apiece. Flowers are placed on the embroidered muslin hats as well as ribbons. What a smart little air the black velvet collar gives to a white linen jacket. Home-Made White Waist. A pretty white waist which a girl has had made at home has wide embroidery for the base. This forms the back, front and cuffs of the sleeves. Four lengths of the embroidery are used, two at the back and two in the front. The scalloped edges just meet in the back; the little pearl buttons, placed one on each scallop, are fastened with little loops which are worked on the other. The front is similarly made. The scallops caught together permanently. On either side the plain edges of the embroidery are tucked yoke deep to give the necessary fullness. The sleeves are of plain lawn above the cuffs. A little colored slip of silk is worn under the waist and a line of pale green or blue or whatever it may be shows through the openings left where the scallops meet and a tint of it through the material. Never "One Too Many." One can never have too many cushions in the summer time and, of course, simple styles are best. A practical pillow cover, cool and fresh looking, was of cadet blue linen, showing a lattice of one inch wide tape two inches apart. This was not sewed down to the denim, but was caught with stitches at each square in a star design with blue cotton. The tape, looped all around, took the place of a Attractive Wa The costume at the left is of grenadine or voile. The bolero, made with plaits at the shoulders, is bordered with a bias band of taffeta of the same shade, and with a plaiting of the same. The waistcoat is of white linen ornamented with buttons and finished with a little embroidered collar. The knot and girdle are of the taffeta and the chemisette is of batiste. The full sleeves are finished at the elbows with frills of batiste and lace and bands and knots of taffeta. The skirt is made with groups of plaits alternating with groups of box plaits and is eq- ruffle, though a ruffle of the denim might be the finish if preferred. A ship in heavy white linen thread outlined on blue denim is effective on a boat as a pillow cover, the edge being crossed with a heavy rope-like cord. Yellow daisies scattered over a background of brown denim is a pretty slip for the cushion of a dull green porch chair, and the cost of either is only a trifle. Change in Hat Styles. The rapidity with which one fashion follows another in Paris is illustrated by the almost total disappearance of the little saucer hats perched on one side of the head, or, in fact, anything turned up in too exaggerated a fashion. Among well-dressed women these are now no longer seen. On the contrary, they wear broad, flat shapes with falling face draperies and graceful, conventional arrangements of plumes. To wear with the redingote or any form of the Directoire garment are high-crowned hats with narrow brims trimmed with tall plumes arranged in a bunch on one side or sometimes draping the crown. Simple Linen Waist. Blouse of linen gathered at the top to a little round yoke which is cut in one piece with the center plait, the latter ornamented on one side with buttons. The yoke, plait and little pockets are all finished with two rows of stitching. The odd sleeves are full at the top and form straps at the elbows, fastened with buttons to the bands, which S. trim the tight-fitting lower parts of the sleeves. These bands are also stitched and ornamented with buttons. Popular Russian Styles. Russian styles are holding their own and a smart model for a girl of 10 is in black and white mohair, showing an emblem worked in red on the breast and bishop sleeves brought into self cuffs. A black patent leather belt loosely confines the waist and with this frock is worn a white linen Eton collar and a red tie. Turn-back cuffs, tied with red ribbon through button-holed slips, give the finishing touch to a decidedly stylish and pretty frock. alking Costumes circled at the bottom with bands and plaitings of taffeta. The other costume is of linen embroidered with braid. The bolero, which crosses slightly in front, is embroidered with the braid and bordered with a little trill of the material or of batiste. The blouse is of batiste and the girdle of silk. The sleeves are finished at the elbows with turnover cuffs of the material embroidered with the braid, and these are finished with trills of batiste and lace. The skirt is trimmed at the bottom with bands of the material and the braid.
