BROKEN BRIC-A BRACS Mr. Major, the famous cement mahr, of New York, explains some very interesting facts about Major's Cement. The multitudes who use this standard article know that it is many hundred per cent, better than other cements for which similar claims are made, but a great many do not know the reason why. The simple reason is that Mr. Major uses the best materials ever discovered, and other manufacturers do not use them, because they are too expensive and do not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a pound, and another costs $2.65 a gallon, while a large share of the so-called cements and liquid glue upon the market are nothing more than sixteen cent glue, dissolved in water or citric acid, and in some cases altered slightly in color and color by the addition of cheap and useless materials. Major's cement retails at fifteen cents and twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon if that his only object is to make larger profit. The profit on Major's cement is as much as any dealer ought to make on any cement. And this is doubly true in View of the fact that each dealer gets his share of the benefit as Mr. Major's advertising, which now amounts to over $5000 a month, throughout the country.

AID ASSOCIATION A Model Institution Organized and Conducted by Colored Men The organization of a mutual aid association under the direction of a number of leading colored men, which was mentioned exclusively in The Recorder several weeks ago has been completed and the association is now issuing certificates of stock to all applicants. The many good features about this new organization at once commends it to the public, and especially to those who are unable to provide for the "rainy day." As stated the object is to provide for a suitable burial for its deceased members, and at the lowest possible cost. The plan as offered shows that this has been accomplished. The memberseip fee has been placed at one dollar, upon the payment of which the payee receives a certificate of membership in the association. The fact that no dues, no regular meetings, no sitting up with the sick are embraced within the provisions of this association at once places it upon a favorable basis. Upon the death of any member all holders of certificates will be assessed the sum 50 cents for the purpose of paying the sum $65, which is allowed for the burial of each and every member. If after paying the assessment there remains any surplus the same will be used to create a reserve fund. Thus it will be readily seen that the organization is in reality a public benefactor. Uncer its workings the number of pauper or charity burials will be con- Subscribe for The The Recorder. siderably lessened and this hitherto unwelcome duty will not befall those whose foresight and prudence will enable them to partake of this offer Again, the fact that the association was formed and is run solely by men of the race bespeaks much for it. The old and the young, the rich or the poor, black or white, in fact anybody of good moral character will be welcome to membership. In a recent circular issued by the directors the following reasons are given showing the necessity of the association: The Mutual Aid Association was organized after seeing the great number of pauper burials which occur constantly, and also those which require the assistance of the public. The entire object of this association is to give its members a respectable burial. The sum of $65 is appropriated to each member for this use, and it is our intention to increase this sum as the membership increases. It is an organization which does not require weekly or monthly meetings or tax its members any dues what ever. Any person paying one dollar will receive a certificate, which entitles him to $65 at death. All that is required of him is 50 cents assessment at the death of each member. Anyone is eligible to membership regardless of age or sex Reasons why every one should become a member of the Mutual Aid Association; 1 Because it is on the most improved plan, and is especially adapted to the circumstances and requirements of the working class and all who have small incomes 2 Because it is the most inexpensive organization in the city and gives a neat sum of money to its deceased members. 3 Because there are no dues to be paid, only the entrance fee of one dollar and 50 cents assersment at the death of a member. 4 Because everyone is eligible to membership regardless of sex or age 5 Because it is much cheaper than any lodge or insurance and at death gives $65. 6 Because our board is composed of men who are looking out for the interest of their race. 7 Because there are no meetings and it does not take its members out at night. 8 Because there is no regalia or uniform of any kind to be bought or worn. 9 Because those who have been barred from lodges and insurance on account of age can become members The officers are as follows: Walter Jameson, president; Thomas Smith, treasurer; R. H. Smith, general secretary; Louis Williams, assistant secretary; C. M. C. Willis, chairman trustee board; Richard Teeters and John H. Sweeney, trustees. The association meets at 536 Indiana avenue NEN ORLENS, LA. Among the passengers who arrived from Havana last week were three little Cuban Negro boys, enroute to Tuskegee, Ala., consigned to Prof. Booker T. Washington. The youngsters are from Remedies, Province of Santa Clara, Cuba. Their names are Alberto Rojas, Manuel Guilerez and Segundo Carbo, aged 13 years. The boys are unusually bright and active, and showed no symptoms of home-sickness, but rather appeared cheerful at their future. They can not speak a word of English, but through the kindness of Mr. John Aceba, who acted as interpreter, their story was learned. The boys stated that they had attended school for one year at home and had passed through the second reader, and had gone as far as the multiplication table in arithmetic. An effort had been made to get three white Cuban boys to come with them, but as far as they could ascertain such efforts had met with no success. It was learned that about 50 boys will be sent over here to be educated. The three boys are pioneers as beneficiaries to attend the institute. They are orphans and are without means. They were furnished second-class transportation at the hands of Gen. Wood, through assistant Adjutant-General E. St. J. Greble, superintendent of Charities and hospitals, who, in a letter to Purser J. C. Johnson of the Whitney, FREE SILVER AND ANTI-EXPANSION DEMOCRACY PLANTED BY JAPPEEON Bryan (o shade of Jefferson): "I did it with my little hatchet."—Chicago Inter Ocean. asked that he render them every assistance in his power, which he did, as admitted by the wards. Col. James Lewis met the boys at the wharf and materially assisted them in their journey to Tuskegee, at the request of Prof. Whashington. How to Write Correctly To everyone outside the family circle the Christian name and surname should be written in full. A married woman writes her name, Mary Bruce Talbot, and in a business letter adds beneath it, in brackets, Mrs. John Talbot. An unmarried woman writes "Miss" in brackets before her full name, to a stranger when a reply is expected. Typewritten letters are only admissible for business communications. In such epistles the signature should be written by hand. Speak first of the interest of your correspondent and afterward of those which concern yourself Never write anything over your own signature of which you might later be ashamed. Never allow any one to read a letter intended for your eyes alone. It is intrusted to your honor, even if not so explicitly stated. One does not use the term "house party" in an invitation, but says, "I am asking a few friends, etc." A letter sent by hand should be left unsealed, unless a servant be the messenger. Business letters should begin with "Sir," "Dear Sir," or "My Dear Sir," or if in the plural, with "Gentlemen," and end with "Yours truly" or "Respectfully yours"—never "Respectfully" alone, omitting the subject of the sentence. Ladies are addressed as "Madam," whether married or unmarried—Mrs. Burton Kingsland, in the June Ladies Home Journal Pay Your Debts! Just at this time our country needs a new religion that will make a man pay his debts," says the Methodist Advocate. "Shouting does not settle accounts with God or man. We bounce right onto a fellow and put him out of the church if he goes to a ball or the theatre, but never a word to the pious scamp who never pays his debts. Preachers and people who do not pay their debts are doing the church more harm than dancers and drunkards, for there are more of them in the church. Reader, is this getting close to you? Then lay down your paper The Newsiest, Spiciest and Best Edited Negro Journal in the State A Journal of Opinions, published in the interest of the Race. Correspondence Solicited Special Inducements to Agents Sample Copies on Application and go pay up and read on with ease. But don't you stop paying because the Statute of Limitation excuses the oren account which you made for bread and meat. You must pay it in cash or God will make you pay it in fire and brimstone. God knows no such excuse for not paying as home-stead exemption. When you raise that excuse to keep from paying your debts you can stop singing: "When I can read my titles clear to mansions in the skies." You have none there" Over 100 Years Old Among the many contentiarians and reputed oldest inhabitants of Indiana none can make a better claim than Mrs. Lucy Pulley, an old colored woman of Kohomo, Ind., just "dug up" by the census enumerator. Mrs. Pulley does not herself know her exact age, the family record having been destroyed years ago in the burning of their home, but an investigation by relatives in her native State of North Carolina leads to the belief that she is 114 years old. Her son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Josephus Gaskin, with whom she lives, know her to be far beyond the century mark, as the son is almost ninety, and the baby daughter upwards of seventy. In the war of 1812, being then a woman grown, she cooked for the officers of the regiment raised and mustered at her native town of Greensboro. She was freeborn and never called anybody master. She helped the slaves in every way possible, carrying food to those who were being starved as a punishment, giving them the best that she could take from the master's table. She came North in 1840, with her husband, James Pulley, whom she married in 1805. He died died fifteen years ago and was nearly one hundred. After seven years residence in Cincinnati they came to Indiana in 1847. She is the mother of sixteen children, only three of whom are living. She has smoked a pipe since girlhood A GOOD SHOWING Some of the Late Claims Paid by the American Mutual Aid Association M. M.

"We're only waiting now until the Democrats make their nominations," said Chairman Hernly, of the Republican state committee, Thursday. "We can't fight until we have something to fight. As soon as the Democratic conventions and the national conventions are over, we will then begin the campaign in earnest." At the committee headquarters, the Republicans are making every preparation for a busy campaign. When the political handbook which the committee is having prepared is finished it will be full of valuable information for those Republicans who expect to do work in the coming campaign. A great deal of literature will be sent out from state headquarters this campaign, although this work has not really commenced yet. About the only matter that has been sent out has been some political cartoons. The Lincoln League will also distribute literature in considerable quantities. The new officers who were elected last week, have started into their work with an earnestness that shows effective aid will be given the state organization. Secretary Mitchener is at present in full charge of the offices in the Majestic building. The league will work in conjunction with the Republican State committee. Located at New Orleans. The Rev. D. A. Graham, former pastor of Bethel church, has accepted the pastorate of St. James A. M. E. church at New Orleans, La. St. James is the oldest church in the connection, south of the Ohio river, and its congregation is said to be the most aristocratic in the southland. Rev. Graham is very pleasantly located at 222 N.

R., and Woman's Relief Corps which was held last Sunday at Second Baptist church, was well attended. The line of march was from their nail on Indiana avenue, through the principal streets, then to the church. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Stokes, who is a member of the Post. His remarks were of a reminiscent nature, couched with words of caution to his comrades to be prepared for the final reeville. Recitations and patriotic songs concluded the service.

BURY: 5 Michigan Central were just clicking over the last switch out of Kalama- 00 as I leaned back in the corner of the smoking’ room to enjoy my after- dinner cigar and meditate upon the ease and comfort of my journey across the State, and the sharp contrast it presented to the journeyings of Mar- quette and Cadillac. The only other occupant of the room, a slight man with a sandy mustache, sat close to the window, using the last gleams of daylight to read something that ap- peared to interest him greatly in one of the small five-cent magazines, of which we were at that tlme having an epidemic. After a little he closed his maga- zine and looked out of the window; then, turing to me, said: “I wish people who write stories wouldn't stop in the middle of ’em, as if the first half was all a person would want to know.” “Another of “Che Lady or the Tiger’ brand?” I asked. “Not this time; one of those yarns about a fellow who is dead broke find- ing some hidden treasure that makes him a regular resus. This is the third I’ve read in a couple of days, and they all stop at the find, only say- ing something about his rolling in wealth afterward. “Now, I want to know the whole business; how he turned his diamonds into ducats; how he felt dropping from his old ways into new ones; If he had any trouble proving his right to his find. If it was something that had be- Tonged to some one else at some time or another, or on land that wasn’t his, even if in a wilderness, seems to me there’d be somebody trying to claim it. I want to know how he worked it to bang on to what he found.” Some one had been at the washstand while he was speaking, and as he con- eluded a tall, slender man appeared at the door with a towel in his hands. “L've read a number of those yarns, too,” he said, smiling, “and quite agree with you about the last half of the story being worth the telling. I sup- Pose the authors like to leave some- thing for their readers’ imagination, 80 they let us finish as we like,” He stepped back to the washstand, but reappeared in a moment, and, tak- ing a cigar case from his pocket, said: “If you will have a fresh cigar with me, and would care to hear it, I will tell you a story of that kind, for the truth of which I can vouch, and give you the second chapter, too; though in ‘this case it was ducats and not dia- monds.” Of course we wanted to hear, and, leaning back in one corner, he began: “T once knew a young man who was ‘a clerk in a coal office in Omaha. He worked for a firm that was not doing a very large business, so he didn’t get a very large salary; ut as he was the only clerk and had to give more or less time and attention to affairs that were personal to the two members of the firm and not connected with the coal ‘Dusiness. he was kept pretty closely tied to the office; if he went out it was on a business errand, and he must hnrry back. no running out to get his hair cut or buy a pair of shoes, or any- thing like that till he had locked the door at the end of the day, and they ‘were pretty long days. “He was an ambitious chap, and something of a dreamer besides, and each of these characteristics made him a bit dissatisfied with his lot. He wanted to rise in the business world, or else to leave it entirely and live among books and pictures, purple mountains and sunsets and poetic things in general; but to do either he must have money, more money than it appeared as if he stood any chance of ever getting. It was a steady grind from week’s end to week's end, and at the close of the month but a few dol- lars more than enough to pay for his board and lodging and a small draft to his mother back in the Bast. Econ- omize as he might, he could save but ttle; in the three years since he came from the Eastern village that couldn't even ‘offer him what he was getting now, he hadn’t been able to accumu- late’ $100. And so, when he thought of the future, and how. the years were slipping away without improving his condition or bringing him any better opportunities to Improve it, it gave him the blues, « “He didn’t want money for the mere sake of having it, but for what he could do with It; he wanted to try his hand at manipulating some, , feeling sure he could double it as rapidly as most men, and he also-wanted enough to enable him to see the world before his eyes became too dim to see it. “One Sunday afternoon this man tramped from Omaha to Florence, i little town just north, ahd was ram. dling about among the ‘hills. that sur- round it. Walking was his principal recreation; it was clieap, and he en: joyed it. He had wandered away from roads and paths into a wood that ‘was tangled with vines and under- brush. It was September, and warm, ‘and when be came out into the open, being hot and tired, he threw. himself own under a walnut tree to rest. “Before him was a little glade which the woods bordered on all sides; part of it was covered with a ragged growth of Indian corn and part was planted with millet; besides this there ‘was nothing to show that a human be Ing had been there before. The ragged, ers were engaged in some sort of a ghost dance, “As he lay there thinking of the red men and maidens who used to dwell among the hills over which he had Just been wandering, and who perhaps had planted maize in that very spot, from up in the woods behind him came the tap, tap of a woodpecker, which was answered by another tap, tap, tap from the woods on the other side. ‘There was a lull In the wind just then, and the eagle’s feathers stood still, as if listening. He knew the taps to be woodpecker rappings, but it seemed as If they were Indian signals. I told you he was a dreamer. “Presently a walnut fell from the tree above him and rolled into a little gully that the water coming down the hill behind him had washed near by. He followed it with his eyes, and, where it stopped, noticed what looked like a bit of dirty canvas sticking out of the ground. Not a little scrap, but apparently part of something that was buried. It was beyond the reach of his walking stick, but a dead branch lay at hand, and with this he poked it, in an {dle sort of way. ‘There seemed to be something harder than earth un- der it, and he poked it again with a little more vigor, whereupon {t tore, and three yellow discs about the size of silver dollars rolled out, “In an instant he had cast aside the branch and was on his knees over the canvas, gathering gold eagles and half eagles and double eagles into his pockets with a feverish haste that would hardly have seemed possible in the idle dreamer of a few moments ago; he moved as if his life depended upon getting them out of sight as soon ‘as possible.” He paused for a moment and blew some smoke wreaths toward the cell- ing. “There,” said the man by the win- dow, “is where such stories usually end, with the first chapter.” “This one doesn't end there; tt has a second chapter. “When the bag, for such the canvas was, had been emptied, he dug with his pocket knife as well as he could all around it to see if there might be another, but could find no more. He then proceeded to cover up all signs of disturbance, making the ground look as nearly like that about it as possible, and dragging some fallen branches and dead leaves over it, looking about him now and then to see if any one was In sight. Not that he felt for a moment that he was steal- ing; the coin appeared to have been buried for a long time, and he believed a finder’s title to be good, but didn’t care to discuss the matter with any inquisitive farmer or tramp who might happen along. “He had stuffed it into his pockets hastily, without counting it, feeling it to be of the greatest {mportance to get away from the scene as soon as pos- sible, before any one’s suspicion that something had been found should be aroused, but he judged he had several thousand dollars. How much the pos- session of all this meant to him he had searcely realized, his mind being busied in devising ways and means of keeping the find from coming to the knowledge of any one. “By the time he had covered the ground so he thought there was noth- ing to attract the attention of the most observant he found that he was in a profuse perspiration and trembling like an aspen leaf. “He went slowly up through the woods and out into a road, and here in the shadow of some sunflowers he sat down to rest and think. And then he began to realize that a few thou- sand, even a very few, would make a big change in his life. “He pulled a coin out of his coat pocket. It was a twenty of 1855. He took one from his trousers pocket. It was a ten of 1849; another was a twenty of 1854. One at a time, he drew out a number and found them all to be as old as 1855, which seemed to show that they were buried, or at least gathered together, not long after that time, so he decided that he need give no thought to the rightful owner; that is, the original owner of the bag: that he and any one who knew of the burying were probably beyond the need of gold, or it would not have been permitted to remain there all these years, but the owner of the land on which he had found it might have a legal title to it, and might endeavor to enforce it, and he could not prove that it did not belong to any one who might claim to have buried it. So the only thing was to keep quiet as to the ‘whole business, and get the coin into circulation in some way that would not excite suspicion. “The sun was getting low and it was several miles to. an Omaha street car, 80, after he had rested a short time, he crossed the road to a walnut tree and picked up enough nuts to fill the tops of his outside pockets and thus account for their bulginess, and then started homeward, his heavy pockets pounding against him on the outside ‘and bis heart pounding against him on the inside for fear some one would hear the clink of his coins and guess what he was carrying. “He took a bobtalled ear at the north edge of town; that was before there were any electric cars, and, of course, imagined every one in it was THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA Sean ak snes ola) Pee hoe CMe ae cn ae in packages, which he put in the of- fice safe, behind the books, so if by chance any one opened it before him in the morning they would not see it You may be sure he was certain the safe was locked before he left the of- fice. “He went fo a newsroom and Dought a magazine, paying for it with afive-dollar gold piece, and he paid his check at the restaurant where he got supper with another, putting the change he received and money from his purse to make up the amount spent with the other gold In a separate pocket, “Then he went to his room, a Iittle hall bedroom, but all the home he had, went to bed’ and lay until after the high school clock struck one, thinking about his future and planning how he should invest his little fortune. “He must change his manner of liv- ing gradually; it would not do to leave his position at once; people must get used to his haying money by degrees, he felt. There was a boom on then in Omaha and South Omaha was just rising out of the prairie, and he knew he could very soon double his dollars, and double those by judicious manage- ment, “He thought of the office he would have, his own office, where it would be for him to command instead of obey, where be would not have to swallow as much as he had been doing, but could talk back; of the long vacation he would take after a few more years of hard work; of the green lanes of Bngland and ‘the sandy wastes of Egypt; of the fords of Norway and India’s coral strand; of the Louvre and the Vatican; of foreign railway car- riages and P. & O. steamers. And in all his thought there was mixed up a pair of gray eyes, In which he had read Hfe's meaning some years ago, Dut had not dared confess it, because he couldn't see his way clear to ask them to leave the village academy and brighten a home for him, “He went to sleep, thinking how he was golng to get rid of his gold with- out attracting attention, for, of course, he didn’t want any one to notice it. “Monday morning {t didn’t bother him much when he was repeatedly called from footing a column of figures to answer the 'phone, nor when one of the partners criticised him for not attending to a matter that had never been brought to his knowledge. “When his lunch time came he went to the savings bank where his few dol- lars were and deposited $90 in gold, and the §10 for which he had ex: changed gold the night before. At one national ‘bank he got a cashier's check to his own order for $50, paying for it with gold; in another he got a demand C. D. for $100 to his own or- der; in a third he got a cashier's cheek for $200. ‘Then he went to a national bank, the cashier of which he knew, and opened an account, saying that he was going to do something fn the real estate line. Here he deposited ye ae. mand © D., $150 in gold and $50 in currency, for which he had exchanged gold at the office. ‘This took him half an hour; the other he spent in buying five lots in South Omaha, for a total of $350, which he paid in golé, thus getting rid of $1,000 altogether, and in buying some doughnuts at a bakery, trom which he made his lunch later in the day when he was alone in the office, “In two weeks he had managed, after this fashion, to get all his gold but the odd $5, which he kept for a relic, into circulation, without any one’s commenting thereon to him. In three months he sold his first lots that cost him three fifty for an even thou- sand and resigned his position, opened a real estate office and was soon rak- ing in considerable in commissions, besides his profits on his own invest- ments, in which he was exceptionally fortunate. “If you know anything about what Omaha was in the latter half of the 80s you can understand how rapidly one could double a few thousand over and over; if you don’t, there's no use in my trying to explain, “By spring he had a stenographer and an office boy and when June came he added a clerk to his force, and went back East to see his mother and the gray-eyed girl.

They Were Not Violets. She was tall and tailor-made, with a dangling fringe on her hat and a cloud of perfume in her wake. She marched into the Pennsylvania station with a small handbag in one hand and a pa- per box, sprinkled over with painted violets and tied with a violet ribbon, under her arm. All the other women in the waiting room stared at het enviously, ‘To wear fringe on one’s hat is little To be tailor-made and silk-lined is not much more, but to start off on a Journey with a fashion- able florist's box filled with violets is something to breed envy in the heart of every woman who looks on. She set- tled her self imperiously in a seat, with an air of having sat all her life ‘on nothing less than old mahogany and brocade, and then one became con- sclous that in the swish of her violet- scented wake was a mere man, with too much padding on his shoulders and too little on his chin.

One day, when we were feasting our eyes upon the wondrous daily morning scene of the ablution of the pious multitude at the sacred city of Benares, a Burmese princess joined the throng. She was as royal in beauty and attire as in rank. It is not given to many tourists in Indfa to catch even @ glimpse of a native lady, and that is why we hope to be forgiven for watching her closely as she picked her dainty way down through the ter- raced lines of worshipers upon the massive steps. About her slender shapely form a cloud of silk of the hue of pale heliotrope fluttered and clung. Gold set with diamonds—few, but briliant—flashed upon one small wrist. Her feet were slippered in gold. Her face wes almost as white as my own—a proud face, yet gentle and exquisitely fashfoned.

As I returned with the replies, I rushed around a bend in the road into what looked Ike a full bri- gade of the enemy. I wheeled and started to run for it, with, it seemed to me, every “reb” in the lot shooting at me. My horse was shot, and I went flying over his head. I landed on all fours, and continued on my way in this position, as I had neither time to get up nor desire to be a more con- spicnous mark, until I got around that bend in the road. Then I make ree ord-breaking time to our camp. I ran up, all covered with blood and dust, and handed my dispatches to a lieu- tenant, who gave them to the General. After reading the dispatches the great commander turned and looked me over tm his quiet way, and said: “Give this orderly another horse.” I heard General Grant say to Gen- eral Thomas just before the famous charge up Lookout: “It we don’t. win this fight, I know one General who will lose his shoulder-straps.” He looked keenly at Thomas, as he sald it in his quiet, earnest way, and, turning on his heel, walked to his tent.

It is not generally known that the diamond-producing region of South Africa 1s not confined to Kimberley. ‘The United States consul at Pretoria recently reported that the output of diamonds In the Pretoria district dur- ing the year 1898 was valued at nearly £9,000, the largest stone found having a weight of 38 carats. Although the industry has not developed with any astonishing rapidity, it must be re- membered that the first stone was dis- covered at Reitfontein only in August, 1897. The value per carat of the Pre- toria stones is 16 shillings, against 26 shillings of those found at Kimberley, and 84 shillings per carat for the dia- monds from Jagersfontein in the Or- ange Free State. The total quantity of diamonds found in the Transvaal in 1898 was 22,843 carats, valued at £43,730. ‘The stones found at the alluy- ial diggings are of finer quality than those found, as at Kimberley, in vol- canie “pipes.” A pure white stone is sometimes of twelve times the value of a straw-colored stone of identical weight.

ND ENGLAND'S POLICY BOER REPUBLICS TO BECOME PART OF BRITISH EMPIRE. Lord Sailsbury Makes an Important Announcement Regarding His South African Program. London cable: Lord Salisbury, who was entertained at dinner Tuesday evening by the City of London Conservative Association, made an important announcement regarding the government's South African policy. "The 'stop the war' party have used my name," said the premier, "in support of their ideas by stating that I promised there should be no annexation of gold fields. I never gave a pledge. I never meant to give a pledge. (Loud cheer.) I stated a simple historical fact. We were accused of going to war for lust of gold and territory. It was one of those calumniums which, under the favoring influences of Dr. Leyda, spread itself over the press of Europe. Nothing could be more untrue. We went to war to abate oppression of the Queen's subjects in the Transvaal and because our remonstrances were met with an insulting ultimatum to which, if the Queen's government had submitted, her power, not only in South Africa, but over her colonies and dependencies, would have been at an end. We were forced into war by the action of our opponents. Our only certainty of preventing a recurrence of this fearful war is to insure that never again shall such vast accumulations of armaments occur and that a shred of the former independence of the republic shall remain. (Cheering.) "We are not at the end of the war, but I shall venture to lay it down as a primary condition of any future settlement that precautions will be taken of such a character that such a war will never occur again. Of course what measures will be necessary it is impossible at any moment to determine, because that depends largely on the action and temper of those with whom we have to deal. I have already intimated that their resistance has gone beyond the limit to which resistance could wisely go. It is not for us to criticize their actions in what they are pleased to call self-defense but they have acted so that every bitterness created by the war and every severance of classes and races have been stimulated by every measure they have taken and so they go on. It will also be our duty to protect those native races who have so sorely afflicted, and at the same time so to conduct their policy that so far as possible there shall be a reconciliation and that every one shall be a happy member of the British empire." AMERICANS SLAIN. FOUR FALL VICTIMS TO FILIPINO FURY. Lieutenant Evans Killed While Gallantly Leading a Charge-Three of His Men Also Shot Down. Manila, May 29.—Major Allen of the Forty-third Infantry, while scouting from Cathedralog, island of Samar, May 9, drove a party of insurgents from the valleys. Four Americans were killed, including Lieutenant W. H. Evans (John H. Evans, probably), who was stalem while gaffantly leading a charge against the intrenchments. Eleven of the enemy were killed and four wounded. The town of Caterman, island of Samar, was attacked at midnight, April 30 by 1,000 rebels, who intrenched themselves near the town over night. Captain John Colle, of the Forty-third Regiment, fought the Filipinos for six hours, and afterwards buried 150 of the enemy. One American was killed and one was wounded. The hamlet of Pawln, in the provinces of Laguna, island of Luzon, the headquarters of General Callles, was surrounded on May 26 by three detachments of the Forty-second Regiment. Thirty-seventh Regiment and Eleventh Regiment. Only a few of the enemy were encountered, Callles having departed the day before. Pawln, which was manifestly a rebel stronghold, was burned to the ground. Captain Nordon's scouts and two companies of the Eighteenth Regiment, while scouting on May 12 in western Panay, surprised a number of the enemy near Valderama and killed thirty-five of them. There were no casualties among the Americans, but some of them suffered from stunstroke. The official reports announce scouting and small engagements in Panay and Cebu islands, and Tayabas, Laguna, Zambales, Benguet and Pangasin provinces, resulting in fourteen of the enemy being killed and many wounded. The Americans also captured sixty rifles, a Nordenfelt gun and supplies of ammunition and destroyed a powder factory. ON SCHEDULE TIME The Sun's Eclipse May 28 Was Pulled Off According to Previously Arranged Program Washington special: Advices received at the naval observatory from its agents in various points in the South show that favorable weather provailed for observing the sun's eclipse Monday, that the contact occurred very close to schedule time and that the program arranged was carried out without a hitch. Three parties were sent out from the observatory, namely—one to Pinehurst, N. C., in charge of Prof. Aaron N. Skinner; one to Barnesville, Ga., in charge of Professor Updraff, and one to Griffin, Ga., in charge of Prof. S. J. Brown. Mr. Hanpa Will Retire. Cleveland special: The Leader says: "Events which will come to pass between now and the close of the Republican national convention will prove the accuracy of the prediction that Senator Hanna will not be the chairman of the new national committee. An advisory board, consisting of a small number of most active and able politicians of the country, will be organized to not in conjunction with the national executive committee in the management of the Republican campaign. Senator Hanna will be a member of this advisory board, and while not hearing the great and heavy burdens of national chairman, will be the most conspicuous figure in the conversation." Senator or Ex-Senator Clark Comes Down Handsomely For His New Son-in-Law. New York special: The charity wards of the big hospitals were bright with color. Tuesday, as a result of the Clark-Morris wedding in St. Thomas Church, Monday. The flowers with which the church and the home of the bride's sister had been decorated and which cost a small fortune, were distributed to the various hospitals. The flowers distributed were 40,000 blossoms, of which 10,000 were easter lilies, 10,000 roses, 3,000 peonies, 2,000 orchids and others in proportion. Dr. Lewis Rutherford Morris and his bride, formerly Miss Katharine S. Clark, started on their Southern honeymoon trip about midnight. They had the comforting assurance as they departed that for some time, at least, the wolf will be kept from the door, as the bride had received from her father, Senator Clark, a wedding gift of $14,000,000. This fact was made known by intimate friends of the family. This gift was in addition to valuable jewelry, costing thousands of dollars, which the Senator bestowed upon his daughter, and which were the most conspicuous of the 425 articles received by the bride. AT JOHANNESBURG. THE CITY WITHIN THE GRASP OF LORD ROBERTS. The British Commander Announces That He Will Make a Triumphal Entry Without a Fight. London, May 29.—The following dispatch has been received from Lord Roberts: "Germiston, May 29.—6:30 p. m.—We arrived here this afternoon without being seriously opposed. No casualties as far as I am aware, in the main column, and not many, I trust, in the cavalry and mounted infantry. The enemy did not expect us till to-morrow, and had not, therefore, carried off all their rolling stock. We have possession of the junction connecting Johannesburg with Natal, Pretoria and Klerksdorp, by railroad. Johannesburg is reported quiet, and no mines, I understand, have been injured. I shall summon the commandant in the morning, and if, as I expect, there is no opposition, I propose to enter the town with all the troops at noon." London, May 20.—3:30 a. m.—Lord Roberts is bivouacking in the suburbs of Johannesburg and intends to make a victorious entry at noon to-day. Judging from his dispatch he must have private information regarding the disposition of the garrison in the fort, as he does not seem to expoet opposition. Lord Roberts's cavalry have gone beyond Johannesburg. A portion is understood to be at Zurfontein, seven miles north of Johannesburg and within twenty miles of Protoria. Lord Roberts, although with a broken bridge at Vereenigning and a wrecked railway behind him, has somehow managed to get forward sufficient supplies for his large force. As he has been able to do so much, it is considered possible that he will be outside of Protoria on Friday. The rapidity of his advance is thought an extraordinary achievement, even by grudging continental critics. Lord Roberts's dispatch is regarded as announcing the virtual occupation of Johannesburg and, apparently, the Boers have again effected a retreat, as there is no mention of any prisoners or captures except the rolling stock. There will be some little anxiety pending the actual occupation of Johannesburg, as there are rumors that the town has been mined, with the intention of blowing up Lord Roberts and his staff on their entry into that place. A CELEBRATED CASE Justice Brewer Hands Down an Opinion Covering State Shares in Life Washington special: Justice Brewer Monday handed down the opinion of the Supreme Court in the somewhat celebrated insurance case brought by the executor of Guy C. Phinney, of the State of Washington, against the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, to recover upon a policy of insurance upon his life amounting to $100,000. Phinney had paid the first premium upon his policy and had failed to pay the second and third premiums, dying soon after the third premium was due. On the trial the contention was made that the State statute of New York requiring specific notice to the insured of the date when a premium is due and the place where it could be paid was applicable. A verdict against the insurance company for $97,000 was rendered. The Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit dismissed the case on a technicality. The Supreme Court to-day declined to decide the question of the applicability of the New York insurance laws to the case and disposed of it on the ground that the Court of Appeals had jurisdiction. A new trial was ordered. The decision was in the interest of the insurance company. FORBIDDEN TO LAND Two Irish Invincibles Are Ordered Deported From New York. New York special: James Fitzharsh, alias "Skin the Goat," and Joseph Mullett, the Irish invincibles, who were recently released from prison in Ireland, where they were sentenced for complicity in the Phoenix Park murders of 1833, were Sunday ordered excluded by the board of special inquiry at the immigration station and ordered deported. The exclusion was made under the interpretation of the law which forbids any one being admitted to this country who has been adjudged guilty of a "felony, crime, infamous crime, or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude." The two men were recently passeded by Earl Cadogan, lord lieutenant of Ireland, from a sentence of life imprisonment, and reached this city among the storage passengers on the Lucanta, Saturday last. The cases will probably be appealed to the authorities at Washington, and if not, Fitzharsh and Mullett will leave this port on Saturday on the Lucanta. THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA POSTAL FRAUDS. NEELY'S DEFALCATIONS CONTINUE TO GROW. Twenty Thousand More May be Added to the $100,000 He is Already Charged With Stealing. Havana cable: A postal official who has been in the island more than a year says that when the Americans first came there were no records and no furniture even; that Spanish postmasters, the only ones who knew anything about the service, could not be employed because of the cry, "Cuba for Cubans!" and that consequently the service had been built up on practically no foundation at all. He also points out that Cuban postmasters were found very difficult to teach. The loose methods of former times have been carried on at some points, even to the present day. One feature that enabled C. F. W. Neely to divert funds in a fashion exceedingly difficult to detect was the custom of many postmasters to pay cash for all stamps taken from the department, while there was no rule for keeping books of account. As a result the inspectors had no way of ascertaining how many stamps had been sold, and the statement of Neely, if in collusion with the postmaster, would tally with the latter's statement. This official believes that when all the books and papers have been investigated the shortage will not amount to more than $100,000. It is probable, however, that $20,000 more has been taken, which can not be traced. His estimate is consequently a mere surprise. American officials here feel that they have been unjustly treated by certain newspapers in the United States which have published the sweeping statement that they all live extravagantly. Army officers point out that if they have to live in cities their expenses are much greater than when at home. Moreover, very few care to risk the health of their families by keeping them in Cuba during the summer. Thus two establishments are necessary. As long as their duties compel them to live in a tropical climate they feel that the United States government, like other governments under similar conditions, should pay additional stipends. So far as the officers of high rank are concerned, it should be pointed out that General Wood occupies only a small portion of the palace for residential purposes, the rest of the building being utilized not only for the divisional offices, but also for all the municipal offices. A number of employees have to be kept at General Wood's expense—cleaners and helpers generally—and he says that if he did not have some private resources to eke out his pay and his allowances it would be next to impossible for him to live in the palace at all. A REBEL ROUND UP. AMERICAN SOLDIERS KEPT BUSY IN THE PHILIPPINES. Scouting, Small Engagements and the Capture of Arms and Prisoners Continue Daily in North- Manila, May 27.—Scuting, small engagements and the capture of arms and prisoners continue daily in northern Luzon. Last week's operations by the Ninth, Twelfth, Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth and Thirty-six regiments resulted in the killing of forty-six of the enemy, the taking of 180 prisoners and the capture of 200 rifles and a quantity of ammunition. Col Edward E. Gardin, with three companions of the Twenty-ninth Regiment, and blue jackets from the gunboat Helena, landed at Palong, Mashatee island, under the enemy's fire, routed the insurgents, and after an engagement lasting half an hour, occupied the town without casualties. The insurgent commander, with twenty officers and 200 men, surrendered on May 20, giving up a hundred rifles. An impressive scene occurred on the plaza when the prisoners were disarmed and liberated. The islanders were found suffering from lack of food, owing to the blockade, and the American authorities are endeavoring to relieve them. Peace reigns and no trouble is expected in Manila, although the city is crowded with people from the provinces, who are leaving the unprotected hamlets in order to avoid the conscription which the insurgent leaders are enforcing as well as robery and outrages at the hands of roving insurgents and bandits. The investigation of the charge against Brigadier General Frederick Funston of having summarily executed two natives in the province of Zambales has resulted in a discontinuance of the proceedings. It developed the fact that General Funston caught the natives in the act of murdering bound Maccabalee scouts, his action in view of the circumstances being regarded as justifiable. Renewed Rioting at St. Louis Rioting growing out of the street car employee's strike at St. Louis was renewed Wednesday. A special policeman was killed while trying to protect a car. A small boy was shot in the leg, the conductor of the car was seriously clubbed and the motorman was roughly handled. Minor disturbances occurred throughout the city all day. The situation is unchanged and is regarded as serious. Pension Commissioner Reigns Washington special: H. Clay Evans, United States Pension Commissioner, has resigned. He sent his letter of resignation to the President early last week. No action has yet been taken upon it. Whether the delay is due to reluctance upon the part of the President to see Mr. Evans sever his connection with the pension office or to difficulty in finding a suitable successor of this most difficult of all offices to fill satisfactorily is not definitely known. War in Chicago. Capt. George W. Streeter, a squatter, invaded a portion of the Chicago lake front Saturday with armed men and two Gatling guns. He erected fortifications and hoisted the stars and stripes, but the courage of the 14s men oozed out when confronted with a regiment of police and the invaders fled. Five men were arrested. Bold and Defiant Proclamation From the Elusive Filipino Chieffain. Washington special: General Greely, Saturday morning, received a package of Filipino documents recently captured by the signal service in Luzon, and among other printed matter were several copies of a recent proclamation by Aguinaldo, which was printed in parallel columns in Spanish and the Tagal language. It is a high-sounding document of similar tone to those heretofore printed, and the concluding paragraph is as follows: "We still have hopes in the justice of the good Americans, and the signs now point to the probability of their giving us justice and that they will carry out the lessons taught them by the founders of the republic of the United States. Although these people who are fighting us are our enemies, they are men of principle, and we have a vallant ally in that illustrious North American, Mr. Atkinson, who is our chief champion against criminal aggression. We should be grateful for having a man like him to champion us. We will close by informing the imperialists that they will never have peace in these islands as long as they adhere to their present policy. "EMILIO AGUINALDO. "At Tarlac. Long live independence! Long live the army of liberty! Long live the union of the Filipinos!" THAT AWFUL NEELY Muncie's Bad Man Accused of Selling Condemned Stamps to Collectors at Exorbitant Rates. New York special: Papers are enroute from Washington to New York, which will result in the preferring of other charges against Charles F. W. Neely, now confined to the Ludlow street jail. It is ascertained that these papers were sent from Cuba to the department at Washington and charge the alleged defaulting postal employ with the embezzlement of a sum approximating $400,000. This alleged embezzlement consists in the conversion into cash of the $400,000 worth of "surcharged" Cuban postage stamps which were ordered destroyed and which were certified as having been destroyed by the committee appointed for that purpose, of which Neely was the head. The above information comes from Edward K. Jones, special assistant to the United States attorney in the Neely case. "There is a new and more serious charge to be presented against Neely," said Mr.ones, "which involves a much larger amount than heretofore shown. The papers are on the way here. He is charged with having converted to his own use the supposedly destroyed surcharged Cuban stamps and instances are cited where he sold 2-cent stamps to stamp collectors for as high as 20 cents each. There are evidences also that Neely's stealings were begun almost as soon as he took office in Cuba." LAST SORTIE FROM MAFEKING Lady Sarah Wilson Accompanied the Troops on a Bicycle. Mafeking, May 17, via Kimberley—The British relieving force occupied this town at § o'clock. The garrison immediately moved out with twelve-pounders and pompoms and attacked McMullin's lager. The Boers resisted weekly for half an hour and then fled in disorder, leaving their tents, wagons and impediments. The British then occupied all the Boer positions. Colonel Baden-Powell gave the garrison an opportunity of revenging themselves, using the relief force as a reserve and as supports. Men and women swarmed to the houseets, and Lady Sarah Wilson, on a bicycle, accompanied the troops as far as the Boer lines. The town guard formed up in the market square for the march past the relief force. There was immense enthusiasm over the fact that the relief of the place was accomplished by colonial. HAS PASSED THE LORDS Colonial Bill Permitting Marriage of Mar and Deceased Wife's Sister. London cable: In the House of Lords Monday Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal moved the second reading of the colonial bill permitting the marriage of a man and his deceased wife's sister. Earl Halsbury opposed the bill, which, he said, would alter the law of inheritance on real property in Great Britain. The difficulty, he pointed out, rested in the fact that colonial law was different from the British law. The bill passed its second reading amid cheers by a vote of 116 to 31. The minority against the marriage bill included the Marquis of Salisbury and the Duke of Abercorn. The majority included the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught, the Duke of York, the Duke of Devonshire and the Marquis of Lansdowne. CHICKEN TURNS THIEF And Steals a Dismond Worth $500 From Its Owner. St. Louis special: George Foster, a wealthy farmer at Richland, Mo., tells a queer story about the loss of a $300 diamond. He was feeding his chickens, shelling corn from a cob. One of the chickens pecked the gem out of his ring and swallowed it. In his astonishment Foster lost sight of the diamond-eating fowl and now can not locate it. He may have to kill 300 chickens to recover it. CAPT. D. E. BEEM, OF SPENCER. New Department Commander. G. A. R. 56TH CONGRESS. 56TH CONGRESS. The House Wednesday passed the extradition bill framed by the judiciary committee, but only after a debate in which considerable political rancor was aroused. There was no division of sentiment as to the duty of Congress to pass a bill to permit the extradition of Neely, but the Democrats objected to the language of the bill, which covered "any foreign country or territory, or part thereof occupied by the United States." The Democrats wanted the bill to apply specifically to Cuba, contending that the broader language assumed the possibilities of further acquisitions by the United States of a character similar to that of Cuba. A motion to recommit with instructions to change the language was defeated by a strict party vote. The House also adopted the resolution to allow the committee on ways and means to sit during the recess of Congress for the purpose of framing a bill for the reduction of the war revenues, and the resolution for a sine die adjournment June 6. The Democrats insisted that Congress should reduce the war taxes at the present, but Mr. Payne, the majority leader, said the treasury figures showed that the refunding of the bonds now going on, would practically wipe out the surplus for this fiscal year. Wednesday was a day of rasping political controversy and oratory in the Senate. With the controversy those on the Democratic side had little to do. What by far-seeing Senators is regarded as likely to be the paramount issue of the campaign was the subject of two speeches—one by Mr. Platt and the other by Mr. Spooner. The former was an answer to the speech by Mr. Bacon on his resolution demanding an investigation of financial affairs in Cuba. Mr. Platt deprecated a cheap effort to make political capital out of a shameful condition of affairs which the Republican party needed no prodding to induce it to probe to the bottom. The speech of Mr. Spooner was a continuation of his address on the Philippine question. In its course he became involved in a heated and sensational colloquy with Mr. Hele, of Maine, over the government's conduct of affairs in our "insular possessions." The House devoted eight hours Thursday to consideration of Alaska civil government bill. Two amendments were adopted. One authorized Secretary of War to issue permits to excavate for gold below low-water mark on the beach at Cape Nome. The Secretary has heretofore issued permits, but the bill as it passed the Senate canceled them. The House also struck out the chapter relating to arrest and bail which permitted arrests in certain civil actions. "The duty of the nation towards its island and possessions," was the subject of heated discussion in the Senate Thursday. Soon after the Senate convened Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, began an extended reply to the speech of Mr. Platt. His speech was largely supplemental to that delivered several days ago demanding an investigation of Cuban financial affairs. His resolution, under the rules, went to the committee on contingent expense. The remainder of the afternoon was occupied by Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin, in concluding his speech on the Philippine question. The debate which he aroused took a turn decidedly political. He charged the so-called anti-imperialists with creating an issue which was not legitimate. Many of his statements were controverted by Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, and Mr. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, and the controversy at times became almost personal. The House devoted two hours Friday to consideration of the Alaskan civil government bill without completing it. The balance of the day was devoted to private pension bills. Among the 190 which were passed were bills granting $50 per month to the widows of Capt. Gridley of the Olympia; Commodore Meade and Gen. Force. Discussion of the Spooner Philippine bill was continued in the Senate Friday by Mr. Morgan, of Alabama. On the general question of the ownership and government of the United States of the Philippine islands he was in accord with Senators Spooner and Lodge, but he regarded the pending bill as unwise and dangerous legislation because of the great power it placed in the hands of the President. He was satisfied, however, that the measure would not be passed by this Congress and declared that it was being used as a foll to thrust aside the Nicaragua canal bill. Much of his speech was devoted to the canal bill and to denunciation of the efforts to prevent its enactment at this session. The House Saturday completed the Alaskan civil government bill with the exception of a few unimportant paragraphs. The Senate Saturday agreed to the resolution for an investigation by the committee on Cuban affairs of the Cuban postal and other irregularities, authorizing the committee to visit Cuba, if necessary, to pursue the inquiry. Beyond this the proceedings were of little general interest, some time being given to the sundry civil appropriation bill without completing it, and to District of Columbia business. One of the latter measures provides extensive depot and terminal improvements in Washington, for the Baltimore and Potomac and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, and for the removal of the historical "long bridge," the highway from the North to the South during the war of the rebellion. The House Monday finally passed the Alaskan civil government bill. Mr. Dalzell gave notice that the anti-trust resolution and bill reported by the judiciary committee would be considered on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, under a special order. Bills were passed to ratify the agreement of the commission to the five civilized tribes and the Seminole Indians, to restore to the public domain a small littr of White Mountain Apache Indian reservation, Arizona. In the course of a speech in favor of the adoption of a resolution expressing the Senate's sympathy for the Boers Monday, Mr. Wellington, of Maryland, referred to a secret understanding existing between the United States and Great Britain. When Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, demanded proof that such an understanding existed, Mr. Wellington said that, in the discutemenet, it was diffelled the proof could be found in the cult to present tangible proof, but he be secret archives of the State department. Mr. Lodge replied that under our form of government no such understanding could exist, and as the Secretary of State had emphatically denied the existence of any alliance or understanding he believed the country would accept his statement as true. The House Tuesday, by a vote of 107 to 124 refused to accept the Senate amendment to the naval appropriation bill relating to armor plate and adopted a modified proposition reading as follows: "That the Secretary of the navy is hereby authorized to procure by contract armor of the best quality for any or all vessels above referred to, provided such contracts can be made at a price which in his judgment is reasonable and equitable; but in case he is unable to make contracts for armor under the above conditions, he is hereby authorized, in his discretion, to procure a site for and to erect thereon a factory for the manufacture of armor, and the sum of $4,000,000 is hereby appropriated toward the erection of said factory." The Senate Tuesday added to the sunny civil appropriation bill an amendment appropriating $4,000,000 for the Louisiana purchase exposition to be held in St. Louis in 1982 on condition that $10,000,000 in addition be raised by the exposition authorites. The amendment was offered by Mr. Cockrell, of Missouri, and was adopted without debate and without division. Because an amendment offered by him subsequently was stricken out on a point of order, Mr. Gallinger, of New Hampshire, moved to reconsider the St. Louis fair amendment and that motion is now pending. As it is known that considerable majority of the Senate favors the fair amendment it seems reasonably likely that the motion to reconsider will not be adopted. Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, addressed the Senate at length on the Teller resolution expressing sympathy for the Boers, after which the resolution was referred to the committee on foreign relations by a vote of 40 to 26. $40,000,000 EXPORTS IN APRIL. An Industrial Record That is Unparalleled in the History of the Country. Washington special: An exportation of $40,000,000 worth of manufactures in thirty days is a record unparalleled for American manufactures. That is the record for the month of April, 1900. The details of the April exportations just completed by the Treasury bureau of statistics-show that the exportation of manufactures during that month were by far the greatest of any month in our history and within a fraction of $40,000,000. This gives assurance that the exports of the fiscal year, which ends with June, will considerably exceed $400,000,000 and be nearly three times as much as a decade ago. This phenomenal increase in exportation of manufactures is especially striking when compared with the progress made by European nations, our rivals in the attempt to supply the world's market with manufactured goods. Great Britain's exports of manufactures show but slight increase since 1800, and an examination of the export record of the principal European countries fails to disclose an instance in which the increase has been as much as 25 per cent., while that of the United States, meanwhile, has been more than 150 per cent. DELUDED GOLD SEEKERS, Twenty Thousand Men Going to Cape Nome to Find Sure Disappointment. Taoma, Wash., special: Powers of attorney have been issued so extensively at Cape Nome this winter that it is doubtful if any of the 20,000 men now rushing northward will be able to secure claims in Nome, York, or the contiguous districts. In a letter received last week at Juneau, Abner Ellis, a mining expert, writes that several hundred men at Nome have spent the entire winter stamped in every direction and locating thousands of claims for themselves and for others by power of attorney. The ground thus taken up includes the best areas along the chief creeks of the entire gold bearing country drained into Bering sea. Ellis doubts if the men rushing in from the Pacific coast will be able to secure claims other than on the hill tops. It is possible, however, that the newcomers will be able to go to the far interior and secure gold-bearing ground. It is yet unknown at Nome whether the power of attorney, so freely used, will be recognized by the federal officers arriving this summer to administer the laws. Found Bound With Cords in "Dowle's Zlon" Neer Chicago. Millie Logan, a convert of "Dowie's Zion," near Chicago, who was found in one of the rooms of the "home" bound by cords that cut into the flush and later sent to the insane asylum at Kankakee. Ill., formerly lived in Indianapolis and removed to Chicago about a year ago. While here she was the subject of a sensation, having been whipped by a relative "to cast蛊 out of her." She was found to have epilepsy and was later sent to the Central Hospital for the Insane, where she remained for a short time. The young woman attended the Dowie meetings, and at the time she was adjudged insane elders of the Dowie institution persuaded her mother to allow her to remain with them, claiming to be able to effect a cure. The mother found the girl bound and lying on the floor, and, though her condition had not changed, it was found that she had been exhibited in the tabernacle as cured. The mother claims her daughter was hypnotized.—Indianapolis Journal. INDIANAPOLIS.

However President McKinley will be chief operator for the eclipse scheduled for November 12--visible in all parts of the United States. The address of Prof. Booker T. Washington before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association of Washington, D. C., last Tuesday was indeed timely. The subject, "The Status of the Negro," was handled in his characteristic forcible style, and every phase of our condition was touched. Coming as it does on the heels of the Montgomery Conference the utterances of Mr. Washington stand out in bold contrast to the narrow, pessimistic views of the members of that conference, who, overlooking their own faults and shortcomings, see only the darker side of the Negro and have no word of friendly advice or encouragement to offer. In refutation of the remarks of ex-Secretary of the Navy Herbert and others who declare that Negro education is a failure, he stated that Tuskegee alone, in the nineteen years of its existence, had turned out 2,500 well-equipped students and Not a single one of our graduates has every been convicted by any court of crime. Not a one of our graduates has ever been charged with the crime of attempting an assault upon a woman These are true words of encouragement and will be read with feelings of gratification alike by both white and black who have the welfare of the country at heart, Touching upon the industrial education he said: By the side of industrial training should always go mental and moral training. But the mere pushing of abstract knowledge into the head means little. We want more than the mere performance of mental gymnasties. Our knowledge must be harnessed to the real things of life. Again, it is asked, would you limit or circumscribe the mental development of the Negro boy? Emphatically I answer with a hundred "Noes" I would encourage the Negro to secure all the mental culture, whether gleaned from science, mathematics, history, language or literature, that his pocket book and circumstances will enable him to pay for. But I repeat with all the emphasis of my soul that the Negro's education should be so directed and controlled for years to come that the greatest portion of the mental strength of the masses will be brought to bear upon the everyday practical affairs of life, upon something that is needed to be done and something they are permitted to do in the community where the reside. This sensible plea for an industrial education should meet the approval of every honest person, and put to rest forever the false impression that Mr. Washington would have us simply a race of "hewers of wood and drawers of water." Touching the disfranchisement of the Negroes, he said: In this matter there is but one way out of our difficulties in the South, and that is for each state that finds it necessary to change its constitution to make an election law, excepting possibly the soldiers who fought on both sides in all wars, that shall be based on intelligence, or poverty, or both, that shall apply every day in the year honestly, squarely, fearlessly to both races. These words have the ring of true statesmanship, and show the comparative breadth of Mr. Washington and those short-sighted politicians who are sowing the seeds of an evil which will soon demand all their energy to stamp out, It is strange that a dominant race, boastful of its superior intelligence and wealth should shrink from this test. In conclusion Mr. Washington sald: We must teach the white man to judge us by our best and not by our worse. We must judge the South by the best types of her white manhood, not by her worst SENATOR FAIRBANKS is too shrewd to be caught in a pocket. H3 is a little bit too heavy for the tail of a kite anyway. We are in receipt of an invitation to attend the Fifth Annual Atlanta Conference which met at Atlanta University Tuesday and Wednesday, May 29 and 30. The subject for discussion was "The Careers or Collegebred Negroes." Reports from over 1500 graduates of Northern and Southern institutions were received and tabulated and the true place and efficiency of the higher education for Negroes was determined. Presidents and professors of several Southern institutions were on the program, together with professional men, public officials and graduates of Negro colleges. These conferences have been held annually since 1896 and have been conductive of much good. The Atlanta University, where the conferences are held, have, through the efforts of its secretary, Prof. DuBois, furnished some valuable statistics of Negro life. The most interesting of these collections, which includes maps and colored charts, showing the progress of the race, all the work of Negroes, is now on exebition at Paris In the parlance of the ring, Aggie's foot work is simply wonderful. The Democratic vice-presidential lightning is diligently looking for a victim. The Cubans are about ready for self-government. They have learned to go out for an office "just for what's in it." It is about time some far-sighted Democrat was discovering the fine hand of Mark Hanna in the India famine. Those peculiarly sympathetic persons who bubble over with sympathy for the Filippinos and the Boers seem wholly unconscious of the wrongs suffered right here under their noses. They are probably blinded by crockadile tears. The Policeman's Mistake There was an naming scene at the police headquarters the other day when a German patrolman familiar known to his comrades as "Schmell Smoke," because of the frequency with which he discovers imaginary fires, brought in a prisoner whom he accused of "using profane and indecent language." The sargent in charge attempted to question the prisoner, who seemed to be very much excited and had been roughly handled during the arrest, but the latter meekly shook his fist, swung his arms, nodded his head in a violent manner and uttered a peculiar sound which the sergeant said reminded him of a dying dog. The man was put in a cell until he could cool off, and then one of the detectives who went in to question him discovered that he was deaf and dumb. "Schmell Smoke" has applied for thirty days leave of absence, in order to escape the torment of his comrades on the force, who have ever since been questioning him as to the tendency of deaf and dumb men to use "profane and indecent language."—W. E. Curtis in Chicago Record. Misleading the Moslems. "The beauty of his Arabic," says R. Talbot Kelly, in the April Century, referring to McColleough Bey, "was a treat to hear. Elegant in diction, in idiom and pronunciation unequaled, I always looked upon him as a perfect master of the language, and greedily endeavor to acquire a little of his own preeminent facility. Few natives enjoy so great an acquaintance with their own tongue, and I remember once hearing him recite to a wondering and admiring group of Bedouin sheeks a chapter of Jeremiah, which, delivered in a manner quite beyond the powers of any among his audience, excited their admiring exclamations of "How wonderful the bey knows the Koran! What a pity he is not a Moslem!" Coal at Dawson. Mail advices from Dawson received by officials of the Alaska Exploration Company tell of the immense extent and value of recent coal discoveries within a few miles of the Klondike metropolis. The mine is in the centre of the region from which the great demand for fuel comes, and the discovery created almost as great a sensation as the discovery of gold placer. Coal this winter has been selling at $125 a ton, and fear that the fuel supply was about exhausted had paralyzed the country.—Chicago Record. The Bank of England destroys about 350,000 of its notes every week, to replace them with freshly printed ones. His First Dress Suit He was a very youthful looking man and he wore a natty opera hat and a lengthy paddock coat, which caused him to be the cynosure of all the eyes in a North Thirrieth street trolley car. It was probably the first time he had ever worn a dress suit, and as he walked into the car his embarrassment was painfully noticeable. Many smiles fitted over the passengers' faces, and the young fellow noticed each one and blushed deeply. But more trouble was in store. At Johnson street two red-headed Irish servant girls boarded the car. They crowded in a seat and began to talk volubly. "Yis," said one, "th' misstress wint to a wildin' and she—" She paused here, as her wandering gaze rested on the conspicuous young man in the corner. "Say, Ellen," she spoke loudly, and with a giggle, "how would you like that for a feller?" The young man left the car hurriedly, before it had reached the street where he wished to alight.—Philadelphia Call. A Lesson in Punctuation A high school girl said to her father the other night: "Daddy, I've got a sentence here I'd like to have you punctuate. You know something about punctuation, don't you?" "A little," said her cautious parent, as he took the slip of paper she handed him. This was what he read: "A five-dollar bill flew around the corner" He studied it carefully. "Well," he finally said, "I'd simply put a period after it like this" "I wouldn't," said the high school girl, "I'd make a dash after it!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. While the farmers of Kansas are paying off their mortgages and loaning money in the East it will be rather up-hill business convincing them that Protection is not good for the farmer.

"Prospects in the American trade generally are not encouraging, for the exports of cotton goods are likely to fall away, America having got machinery by which they can produce special effects themselves." Such is the dismal forecast of the Bradford correspondent of the "Financial Times" of London. For the year 1890 cotton goods formed the principal part of Bradford's trade with the United States. The gross value amounting to nearly $3,000,000, but the export of woolen goods fell off from about $2,200,000 in 1898 to only about $6,000 in 1890. Five years ago Bradford sent us in one year over $8,000,000 worth of worsted coatings, while the amount for last year was a little over $300,000. The Tariff is to blame for it. Through its operations the demand for domestic fabrics has increased, and the trade losses lamented by Bradford and other European woolen centers are represented by the immense gain for American labor and material through the purchase and use of cloths made in our own country. Now it appears that by reason of the Tariff on fine cotton American mills are being equipped with machinery that will turn out these goods so successfully as to seriously diminish the amounts heretofore purchased abroad. It would seem that there is no end to the ravages wrought by the Tariff in that portion of our foreign trade which is included in the imports. Not so the exports. They keep right on growing year by year. The Tariff is a two-edged sword which cuts both ways for our prosperity. Another Orphan Child. From a financial journal of high standing we learn that the capital stock of a projected woolen combination will be $80,000,000, and that the scheme contemplates the consolidation of all the worsted spilling firms in the country. At a recent meeting to consider the plans of the promoters representatives of 104 firms were present. It was explained to those present that the basis of capitalization is that the good will is to be calculated at seven and one-half times the profits above five per cent. Where did this meeting occur, and in what country is it proposed to form a combination of woolen manufacturers with a capital stock of $90,000,000? "In the United States, of course, the country where, as we are told by Mr. Havemeyer, the customs Tariff is the mother of trusts." Not at all. You are more than three thousand miles out of the way. The leading financial journal which imparts the information referred to is the London "Statist," and the parties interested in the formation of this gigantic trust are the worsted spinners of the West Riding of Yorkshire. It will hardly be contended that the customs Tariff is the mother of this trust, for England, the home of a very large number of capitalistic combins, is a Free-Trade country. Work Instead of Mischief A recent dispatch from Louisville, Ky., reports that the jeans clothing business in that section is booming. Shipments last month showed a gain of 25 per cent, over those for January, 1899, and manufacturers have more orders for spring shipments than they ever had before. There are eight or ten jeans mills in the vicinity of Louisville, and all are sharing in the general prosperity. There is very little doubt that the present trouble in Kentucky would have taken on a very much uglier aspect if there had been as many idle, discontented men hanging about to swell the mob on the one side or the other, as there would have been when Democracy had closed our factories, put business at a standstill and thrown men out of work. Men with work to do haven't time to hang around looking for trouble, and our policy sees to it that it that men have work to do—all they want of it. It sees to it in Kentucky as well as in the rest of the country. The result is peace and quiet instead of discontent and mob violence. Yielded to the Tempter "Twenty years ago," said the man in the tweed suit, "I knew that gentleman who alighted at the last station. He was a man of rare promise, a graduate of college, of brilliant intellect, and shrewd mercantile ability. Life dawned before him in all the glowing colors of fair promise. He inherited money and invested it in a business which prospered. He married a beautiful girl who bore him three charming children. But in an evil hour the young man yielded to the tempter. He began to drink beer. He liked it, continued drinking it, and encouraged others to drink. That was only ten years ago, and he was a prosperous, wealthy man. To-day, what is he?" He paused, when a clergyman in the carriage, who had listened attentively, said, sadly: "A sot, perhaps a beggar?" "Quite wrong, sir," replied the man in the tweeds, "He is a Member of Parliament, and partner in a brewery, worth half a million of money."—Ally Sloner.

THE SATISFACTION OF SUCCESS IN OUR UNDERTAKINGS. The Difficulties of Life Are Naught if Triumphantly Overcome—Christ's Success—Dr. Talmage's Sermon. In this discourse Dr. Talmage shows in an unusual way the antagonisms that Christ overcame and finds a balsam for all wounded hearts; text, John xvil. 4, "I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do." JOHN H. BURTON There is a profound satisfaction in the completion of anything we have undertaken. We lift the capstone with exultation, while on the other hand, there is nothing more disappointing than after having toled in a certain direction, to find that our time is wasted and our investment profitless. In many of our plans we have our friends to help us; some to draw a sketch of the plan, others to help us in the execution. But Christ fought every inch of his way against bitter hostility and amid circumstances all calculated to depress and defeat. In the first place, his worldly occupation was against him. I find that he earned his livelihood by the carpenter's trade, an occupation always to be highly regarded and respected. But to succeed in any employment one must give his entire time to it, and I have to declare that the fatigues of carpentry were unfavorable to the execution of a mission which required all mental and physical faculties. In his father's shop no more intercourse was necessary than is ordinarily necessary in bargaining with men that have work to do, yet Christ, with hands hard from use of tools of trade, was called forth to become a public speaker, to preach in the face of mobs, while some wept, and some shook their fists and some grasped upon him with their teeth, and many wanted him out of the way. So also his habits of dress and diet were against him. The mighty men of Christ's time did not appear in apparel without trinkets and adornments. None of the Caesars would have appeared in citizen's apparel. Yet here was a man, here was a professed king, who always wore the same coat. Neither was there any pretension in his diet. No cupbearer with golden chalice brought him wine to drink. On the seashore he ate fish, first having broiled it himself. No one fetched him water to drink; but, bending over the well at Samaria, he begged a drink. He sat at only one banquet, and that not at all sumptuous, for to relieve the awkwardness of the host one of the guests had to prepare wine for the company. Other kings ride in a charlot: he walked. Other kings, as they advance, have heralds ahead and applauding subjects behind; Christ's retinue was made up of sunburned fishermen. Other kings sleep under embroidered canopy; this one on a shelterless hill, riding but once, as far as I now remember, on a colt, and that borrowed. All this was against Christ. So the fact that he was not regularly graduated was against him. If a man come with the diplomas of colleges and schools and the theological seminaries and he has been through foreign travel, the world is disposed to listen. But here was a man who had graduated at no college, had not in any academy by ordinary means learned the alphabet of the language he spoke, and yet he proposed to talk, to instruct in subjects which had confounded the mightiest intellects. John said: "The Jews marveled, saying, How hath this man letters, having never learned?" So also the brevity of his life was against him. He had not come to what we call midlife. But very few men do anything before 33 years of age, and yet that was the point at which Christ's life terminated. The first 15 years you take in nursery and school; then it will take you six years to get into your occupation or profession. That will bring you to 21 years. Then it will take you ten years at least to get established in your life work, correcting the mistakes you have made. If any man at 33 years of age gets fully established in his life work, he is the exception. Yet that is the point at which Christ's life terminated. Popular opinion declared in those days, "Blessed is the merchant who has a castle down on the banks of Lake Tiberlas." The young man said in those days, "Blessed are those who live amid statuary and fountains and garedns and congratulations and all kinds of festivity." This young man responded, "Blessed are they that mourn." Public opinion in those days said, "Blessed is the Roman eagle, the flap of whose wing startles nations and the plunge of whose iron beak inflicts cruelty upon its enemies." This young man responded, "Blessed are the merciful." Popular opinion said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Christ said, "Pray for them that despitefully use you." They looked at his eye. It was like any other man's eye, except, perhaps, more speaking. They felt his hand, made of bone and muscle and nerves and flesh, just like any other hand. Yet what bold treatment of subjects, what supernatural demands, what strange doctrine! They felt the solid earth under them, and yet Christ said, "I bear up the pillars of this world." They looked at the moon. He said, "I will turn it into blood." They looked at the sea. He said, "I will hush it." They looked at the stars. He said, "I will shake them down like untimely figs." Did ever one so young say so bold? It was all against Him. I imagine Christ one day standing in the streets of Jerusalem. A man descended from high lineage is standing beside Him and says: "My father was a merchant prince. He had a castle on the beach at Galilee. Who was your father?" Christ answers, "Joseph, the carpenter." A man from Athens is standing there, unrolling his parchment of graduation, and says to Christ, "Where did you go to school?" Christ answers, "I never graduated." Aha! The idea of such an unheralded young man attempting to command the attention of the world! Again, I remark, there was no organization in his behalf, and that was against Him. When men propose any great work they band together, they write letters of agreement, they take oaths of fealty, and the more complete the organization the more and complete the success. Here was one who went forth without any organization and alone. If men had a mind to join in his company, all right; if they had a mind not to join in His company, all well. If they came, they were greeted with no loud salutation; if they went away, they were sent with no bitter anathema. Peter departed, and Christ turned and looked at him; that was all. See Him victorious over the forces of nature. The sea is a crystal sepulcher. It swallowed the Central America, the President and the Spanish armada as easily as any fly that ever floated on it. The inland lakes are fully as terrible in their wrath. Some of us who have sailed on it know that Lake Gallilee when aroused in a storm, is overwhelming, and yet that sea crouched in his presence and licked His feet. He knew all the waves and the wind. When He beckoned, they came. When he frowned, they fled. The heel of His foot made no indentation on the solidified water. Medical science has wrought great changes in rheumatic limbs and diseased blood, but when the muscles are entirely withered no human power can restore them, and when a limbs is once dead it is dead. But here is a paralytic—his hand lifeless. Christ says to him, "stretch forth thy hand," and he stretches it forth. In the eye infirmary how many diseases of that delicate organ have been cured? But Jesus says to one blind, "Be open!" and the light of heaven rushes through gates that have never before been opened. The frost or an ax may kill a tree, but Jesus smites one dead with a word. Chemistry may do many wonderful things, but what chemist, at a wedding, when the wine gave out, could change a pail of water into a cask of wine? What human voice could command a school of fish? Yet here is a voice that marshls the scaly tribes until, in a place where they had let down the net and pulled it up with no fish in it, they let it down again, and the disciples lay hold and began to pull, when, by reason of the multitude of fish, the net broke. Nature is his servant. No man could go through all the obstacles I have described, you say without having mature supernatural. In that arm, amid its muscles and nerves and bones, were intertwisted the energies of omnipotence. In the syllables of that voice there was the emphasis of the eternal God. That foot that walked the deck of the ship in Genessaret shall stamp kingdoms of darkness into demolition. This poverty struck Christ owned Augustus, owned the sanhedrim, owned Tiberias, owned all the castles on its beach and all the skies that looked down into its water—owned all the earth and all the heavens. To him of the plain coat belonged the robes of celestial royalty. He who walked the road to Emmaus the lightnings were the fire shod steeds of his charlot. Yet there are those who look on and see Christ turn water into wine, and they say, "It was sleight of hand! And they say Christ raise the dead to life, and they say, "Easily explained; not really dead; playing dead!" And they see Christ giving sight to the blind man, and they say, "clairvoyant doctor! And what shall they do on the day when Christ rises up in judgment and the hills rises up in judgment the trumpets shall call, peal on peal? In the time of the Theodosius the Great there was a great assault made upon the divinity of Jesus Christ, and durd time Theodosius the Great called his own son to sit on the throne with him and be a co-partner in the government of the empire, and one day old the bishop came and bowed down before Theodosius, the emperor, and passed out of the room, and the emperor was offended, saying to the old bishop, "Why didn't you pay the same honor to my son, who shares with me in the government?" Then the old bishop turned to the young man and said, "The Lord bless thee, my young man, but still paid him no such honor as he had paid to the emperor. And the emperor was still offended and displeased when the old bishop turned to Theodosius the Great and said to him, "You are offended with me because I don't pay the same honor to your son, whom you have made co-partner in the government of the empire, the same honor I pay to you, and yet you encourage multitudes of people in your realm to deny the Son of God equal authority, equal power, with God the Father." My subject also reassures us of the fact that in all our struggles we have a sympathizer. You cannot tell Christ anything new about hardship. I do not think that wide ages of eternity will take the scars from his punctured side and his lacerated temples and his sore hands. You will never have a burden weighing so many pounds as that burden Christ carried up the bloody hill. Again, and lastly, I learn from all that has been said to-day that Christ was awfully in earnest. If it had not been a momentous mission, he would have turned back from it disgrunted and discouraged. He saw you in a captivity from which he was resolved to extricate you, though it cost him all sweat, all tears, all blood. He came a great way to save you. He came from Bethlehem here, through the place of skulls, through the charnel house, through banishment. There was not among all the ranks of celestials one being who would do as much for you. I lay his crushed heart at your feet to-day. Let it not be told in heaven that you deliberately put your foot on it. While it will take all the ages of eternity to celebrate Christ's trumph, I am here to make the startling announcement that because of the rejection of this mission on the part of some of you all that magnificent work of garden and cross and grave is so far as you are concerned, a failure Helena, the empress, went to the Holy Land to find the cross of Christ, getting to the Holy Land there were three crosses excavated, and the question was which of the crosses was Christ's cross. They took a dead body, tradition says, and put it upon one of the crosses, and there was no life, and they took the dead body and put it upon another cross, and there was no life; but tradition says when the dead body was put up against the third cross it sprang into life. The dead man lived again. Oh, that the life giving power of the Son of God might dart your dead soul into an eternal life, beginning this day! "Awake, thou that sleepest, and rise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee life!" Live now! And live forever! The Danger of Euphuism. "Can I tell you the meaning of euphism?" said an old reporter the other night in response to a question by one of the younger men on the staff. "Why, certainly, my boy. It is the pleasant art of calling a bootblack a gentleman of polish, and it's very valuable in newspaper work, provided you don't carry the joke too far. I remember when I was a 'cub' myself and was working out in Denver a fellow came in one day and asked me to write a nice little notice about the marriage of his brother to a girl over in Centre City. 'Who is the bride?' I asked, so as to get some material for the paragraph: 'what is her father's occupation.' 'Why, he's a teller,' said my caller, hesitating a little. 'All right,' said I, and thinking it would sound a shade finer, I referred to the lady as 'the beautiful and accomplished daughter of the well-known banker of Centre City.' Next day the boss came in, foaming at the mouth. 'What in blazes do you mean by speaking of old as a banker? he bellowed. 'He's a professional clairvoyant and the biggest old fraud out of jail! He's got an old ad in the paper right now, offering to reveal the past and future for 35 cents and a lock of your hair! I was overwhelmed with chagrin and hunted up my informant. 'Why did you tell me that girl's father was a banker?' I asked, reproachfully. 'I didn't,' he answered; 'I said he was a teller. 'It's one and the same thing.' I retorted. 'No, it isn't,' said he; 'you jumped at conclusions. I didn't mean a paying teller. I meantn't a fortune teller.'"—New Orleans Times-Democrat. The Colonel's Romance. "Colonel," said the romantic girl, "tell me how you got that scar upon your left cheek. Oh. I just know it must be a thrilling story. Was it made by a bullet or a sabre thrust? I prefer a sabre thrust. It seems so much more like the knighthood of old. You can't see a bullet coming, and there is no way to escape it or combat it. But when your enemy rushes at you with his uplifted sabre there is the possibility of parrying his blow and cutting him down. That seems much more manly, even if the victor in the fray does receive a wound or two, than to just be laid low or to lay the enemy low by a bullet that cannot be seen. There is no bravery in shooting a man, but there is something knightly in meeting another face to face with a sword. Your scar looks like one that was left by a gleaming blade, and I know that your enemy must at least have been rendered horse du combat. Tell me all about it, Colonel—when it happened, and how. I am so interested in war stories." "Yes," he replied, "I agree with you fully about the sword and sabre business. There isn't much bravery in shooting a fellow. There is something knightly about standing up and thrusting and parrying with a blade. But I got this wound while acting as an innocent bystander at a Chicago strike riot. It was a brick."—Chicago Times-Herald. Saved by His Business Instinct. There was a pawnbroker here some years ago of whom they tell this tale: He was noted for his strict attention to business. At one time he was in one of the small mountain towns of the State visiting a relative who had opened a shop there. "Meln uncle" amused himself strolling around the place and chatting with the merchants. Politics was a 'bilim' just then, and by some in cautious remark he drew down on his head the wrath of a sturdy mountaineer, who promptly grabbed him by the throat and thrust an ancient pistol in his face. With his eyes bulging out of his head "meln uncle" gasped: "Vat! You vishes monish on that? I would not gift you 50 cents on that!" This business like remark saved him, but he took the hint and struck out for Louisville by the next train.—Louisville Times. Glad Her Majesty Came: The unconscious humor of the Irishman still lives. Last week (says a correspondent) a friend of mine was sitting in Phoenix Park when to him appeared a ragged old chap, most gloriously intoxicated. "God save the Queen, sor!" said he to my friend. "Certainly," was the reply. "God save Queen Victoria!" reiterated the old fellow. "By all means. Send her victorious, happy and glorious!" "That's right, sor! I wish she came to Dublin every year, everymonth, every day, sor! Think of what's she's done for the country; think of all the good she does to people. Why, look at me; here am I, as drunk as h—l and never paid a penny for it!"—London News. Pleasing Truths.

In his state clothes, including the crown, the Suitan of Jahore wears diamonds worth $12,000.00. His collar, his puetauls, his girdle, his cuffs, sparkle with precious stones.

Armstead, 605 Cincinnati street, was vaccinated February 99 and afterwards broke out in a mass of running sores, and remained so while under the local physician's treatment. His suffering was intense, and the vaccinated mark failed to heal. He started taking HOYT'S POISONED BLOOD CURE about. August 15 and immediately grew healthier and stronger. To this medicine alone little Eddie Armstead owes his life. "I suffered untold agony with female weakness, and physicians said an operation would have to be performed.

I have used them for about three years with what I call Ripae Columns a week a week. Was told by different physicians that it was caused by bad teeth, of which I had several. I had the teeth extracted, but the atlas was still in place. I used Ripae Tables in all the papers but had no纺 in them, but about six weeks since a friend induced me to try them. Hays taken but two of the four tests, and I have had the recurrence of the attacks. Have never given a testimonial for anything before, but the great amount of good which I believe has been done me with Ripae Tables. I have many testimonials you doubtless have in your possession now. A. T. DaWYR. R.I.P.A.N.S The modern stand- ard Family Medi- cine: Cures the common every-day ill of humanity.

The com- position of “fire-damp” is very vari- able. Mush gas, which ts light car- burreted hydrogen, forms the main constituent, and oxygen, carbonic acid and nitrogen in varying proportions are always present. It is claimed that “fire-damp” when mixed with from four to twelve times its volume of atmospheric air is ex- plosive, but when the proportion fs above or below these limits, It is mere- ly inflammable and not explosive. “After-damp” is the irrespirable gas left in the coal mine after an explosion of “fire-damp,” It is chiefly composed of carbonic acid gas and nitrogen. ‘The danger which arises from gas in coal mines is considerably increased by the presence of dust in the air; and this, tt is believed, was largely respon- sible for the explosion at Red Ash and ‘Wintor Quarters. Years ago Gallo- way made a number of experiments in this direction and aseertained that an explosion may be produced by ignited particles of coal dust in the air, amd that a lomp, ordinartiy safe, might ereate havoc in a puff of coal dust. At Blanzy, in Wrance, and elsewhere, “fatal explosions have been traced to the firing of coal dust from the flame of a shot, even in cases where no “fire- damp’ was present in the workings.”— New River Reporter.
